Chapter 819: The Legend of Abak’s Set

The resurrected team members all used recall scrolls to return to the city, while the twenty-six shamans remained until the end. After all the other team members had left, they too used their recall scrolls to depart.

The group returned from Lianhuo City to Okrun City and gathered at the guild headquarters.

“Boss Nieyan, did you get the item?”

“Boss Nieyan, how was the loot?”

The team members eagerly asked in the group chat. Each of them still felt a lingering fear of that level 180 demonic leader. It had taken their group of five hundred players a long time to fight him, yet his health barely dropped. He killed them one by one with a single sword strike, slicing through them like vegetables. The item he guarded must be something extraordinary.

“Of course,” Nieyan replied. After all the effort he had put in, he naturally wouldn’t come back empty-handed. “Let me check the item first.”

Nieyan looked at the attributes of the Abak Focused Greaves.

Abak Focused Greaves: Requires Strength 1500, Agility 1200, Level 180. (Cannot be used)

Item Description: Can only be worn by those who possess the Order Chapter: Shadow Stalker. Must wear the full set of Abak components. Abak reveres strength; only sufficient power can sustain a dictatorship. Rebels shall perish!

Item Attributes: Defense +1232, Evasion +30, Focus +60, Strength +1300, Agility +1220. Enhances foot strength, 70% chance to block attacks targeting the feet. Set component 8/8. Bound to the player who holds the first volume of the Order Chapter upon acquisition. Non-tradable, non-droppable.

The Abak Focused Greaves had decent attributes but no additional skills. However, more importantly, it was a set component, and with this, Nieyan had finally completed the entire Abak set.

Once he wore the full set, it would grant powerful bonus attributes!

Nieyan checked his level, which was still at level 149, 93% experience. He was very close to leveling up to wear the Abak set. Where could he find the remaining experience? Suddenly, he remembered—he still had some unclaimed experience! Each time a player killed an evil lawful player, they could claim some experience at the Guild of Mercenaries in the Glinlan Empire. Nieyan had completely forgotten about this. He had killed so many evil lawful players, and had never claimed the rewards. If he went to claim them now, he would probably get a lot.

Nieyan went to the Mercenaries’ Guild to claim his reward, and his experience bar instantly jumped to 98%, but he was still a bit short.

“Guo Huai, how many pieces of the bard’s song fragments have you collected?”

“Thirty-two in total,” Guo Huai replied. His subordinates had been purchasing those items during this time.

“Send them over quickly,” Nieyan said.

“Alright.”

Soon, Nieyan received thirty-two pieces of the bard’s song fragments. After turning them in, his experience finally broke through to level 150.

Finally, he could wear the Abak set. Nieyan eagerly equipped it. The entire set was a dark purple color, with each piece bearing a strange mark—ancient and mysterious. The set’s glow was subtle; although ordinary people could immediately recognize it as a full set of gear, few could identify it as a legendary set just by looking. In addition to the six pieces of equipment on his body, there were two daggers. These daggers were curved like snakes, with an unusual red hue. Their blades had strangely curved edges, exuding a suffocating aura of killing, creating a strong visual impact.

After equipping the Abak set, Nieyan felt a strange power surging within his body, like a raging flood—endless and inexhaustible.

He checked the attributes of the Abak set. In addition to the individual piece attributes, Nieyan saw a long list of set bonuses: all attributes increased by 200%, all skills boosted to their maximum potential, and four additional skills. The first was the passive skill “Killing Presence,” which dealt 50% splash damage to all surrounding enemy units when attacking a target. The second was the passive skill “Infinite Combos,” which accelerated skill-casting speed, causing continuous combo damage. During this time, all control skills’ effects were enhanced by 50%. At combo 1, skill damage was 100%; at combo 2, 200%; at combo 3, 400%, and so on. The third skill was the passive “Bloodlust Aura,” which placed all nearby allied units into a bloodlust state, increasing their attributes by 120%. The fourth was the active skill “Targeted Teleportation,” which allowed immediate teleportation to a known coordinate, even through underground and surface layers. This skill had a cooldown of thirty minutes.

This was undoubtedly a divine set of gear, absolutely unique! Each of these four skills alone was priceless.

It was already difficult for ordinary players to obtain even a single piece of a legendary set, let alone a complete set. Moreover, the Abak set was a level 180 set, far superior to ordinary low-level legendary items. Sets of this caliber were probably only heard of in legends by players.

After equipping the full Abak set, Nieyan was absolutely invincible during this period!

He checked his attributes. His attack power had soared to an astonishing 30,000, and his defense also exceeded 30,000. It wasn’t mere leather armor but terrifying divine armor, offering physical defense comparable to a warrior’s heavy plate while providing vastly superior magical resistance. His HP stood at 60,000, his evasion rate at 79%, and all other attributes reached heights unimaginable to ordinary players. Even the elite professional gamers from the Bull Tribe paled in comparison.

These attributes made Nieyan feel a thrill of excitement. With such power, who in the world could possibly stop him!

As Nieyan equipped the full Abak set, a brilliant purple light radiated from his body, dazzling and magnificent, making him appear like a divine being.

System Announcement: The expansion pack “Era of the Gods” has been launched. Era of the Gods: Fully open top-tier class transformation quests, open legendary class transformation quests, and initiate nation wars. Brave warriors, march forward fearlessly and pursue eternal power! Achieve legend and become the ruler of the world.

The system announcement startled players across the server. Upon seeing the announcement, players in all major cities immediately erupted into discussion.

“The top-tier classes are fully open!”

“Should the difficulty of the top-tier class transformation quests be reduced?”

“What is this legendary class transformation quest? Does it mean we can transform into legendary mages in the future?” a mage murmured.

All players in the server were discussing the Era of the Gods expansion. At this moment, Nieyan, who was at the Bull Tribe guild headquarters in Ok伦 City, was in a daze. He hadn’t expected that equipping the full Abak set would cause such a massive impact.

Nieyan knew nothing about the Era of the Gods expansion, as in his previous life, this expansion had never been released. The server had fully opened top-tier class transformations? For the Bull Tribe, this was not necessarily good news. The legendary class transformation quest intrigued Nieyan. Could it mean that beyond top-tier classes were legendary classes? Would they be like those legendary NPCs?

Nieyan glanced at the guild chat, which was already in an uproar.

“Top-tier class transformations are fully open! I wonder if I meet the requirements?”

“I also want to ask that. I’m just level 130 now, with 7638 defense. Can I transform into a top-tier class?”

“Let’s go try. I heard that Carol City has opened a transformation hall where we can accept transformation quests.”

After receiving this information, Guo Huai quickly sent a message to Nieyan, asking, “Nieyan, what should we do now that the Era of the Gods has begun?”

“Let all players in the guild who are level 135 or above try to transform into top-tier classes. Those below 135 should keep leveling up,” Nieyan replied. Although the top-tier class transformation quests were fully open, he estimated that their difficulty would still be quite high. A top-tier class obtained too easily would likely not be very strong, failing to live up to the title.

“I heard that guilds like Angel Tyranny are organizing large groups of players to do the transformation quests right away,” Guo Huai said.

“There’s nothing to worry about. Follow my instructions,” Nieyan immediately began deploying plans. During this period, he had to do something to maintain the Bull Tribe’s advantage over Angel Tyranny; otherwise, things would become troublesome later on.

Although this unexpected development occurred, it did not diminish Nieyan’s excitement at obtaining the Abak set. He checked his quest progress.

Quest Progress: “Toward Legend,” collected items: Fragmented Divinity 3/6, Divinity 7/8, Divine Artifact 2/1, Sage’s Heart.

Nieyan looked at the quest progress and was momentarily stunned. He had already completed a significant portion of the “Toward Legend” quest. He had already collected three Fragmented Divinities. The Divinity referred to the eight character states, and Nieyan was still missing one—Spirit. As for Divine Artifacts, both the Deathbringer Dagger and the Paternoster Hammer counted, and any one of them would suffice. Regarding the Sage’s Heart, he was only slightly short and expected to obtain it soon.

This discovery made Nieyan feel incredibly amazed. It turned out he had already been on the path to becoming a legend.

It took him half a day to process the newly acquired information. Nieyan looked at the transparent egg and placed it in the palm of his right hand, focusing his senses on it. A powerful holy light emanated from it—it was the Holy Light Sprite. Nieyan thought for a moment. The strongest Holy Word Mage in the Bull Tribe was undoubtedly Xie Yao. Like the Arcane Sprite, the Holy Light Sprite would disappear permanently if it died once. Only Xie Yao could protect it.

Nieyan called Xie Yao over and traded the Holy Light Sprite to her.

“Can I really hatch it?” Xie Yao asked, her voice filled with both joy and uncertainty as she lovingly gazed at the floating small creature inside the egg.

“Mm,” Nieyan nodded firmly.

Xie Yao placed her right hand on the egg, chanted a spell, and slowly channeled holy light energy into it. After a while, there was a cracking sound, and the shell split open. A white Holy Light Sprite stood on Xie Yao’s right hand. As Xie Yao poured more mana into it, its size gradually increased, reaching about half the size of Tang Yao’s Arcane Sprite. It was plump and round, blowing out white bubbles while radiating a strong aura of holy light.

Another sprite had been born!

With this Holy Light Sprite, Xie Yao’s strength would be significantly enhanced. Of course, she would still need to put in a lot of effort to raise the Holy Light Sprite’s level before its formidable power could be fully realized.

“Boss Nieyan, was it you who triggered the Era of the Gods expansion?”

“Yeah, Boss Nieyan?”

In the guild chat, everyone was abuzz with discussion. Nieyan had just obtained something from that level 180 demonic leader, and then the Era of the Gods had begun. It was easy for them to make the connection.

“That’s right,” Nieyan admitted. Such a major event would be hard to hide, so he decided to be straightforward and confirm it.

“Boss Nieyan, what exactly did you get?”

“Right, Boss Nieyan, I remember you said you were going to get a piece of the Abak set. Did you complete your Abak set?”

“I did finish collecting it.”

“Let us see the attributes.”

“Yeah, Boss Nieyan, let us see them.”

They were eager and curious about the Abak set’s attributes.

“Boss Nieyan, show us the set’s attributes.”

At the strong urging of the team members, Nieyan thought for a moment. There was no need to hide anything, so he openly shared the attributes of the Abak set. Even if guilds like Angel Tyranny and Century Syndicate found out, it wouldn’t matter. With the Abak set, Nieyan was already preparing for an all-out war against Angel Tyranny and Century Syndicate.

Each component’s attributes of the Abak set were shared in the guild chat, along with the terrifying set bonuses.

After seeing the Abak set’s attributes, the guild chat fell silent. Everyone was stunned by the overwhelming power of the set. A level 180 legendary set! The attribute bonuses were too terrifying. Nieyan’s strength had already been absurdly high, and now with such a powerful set, who could possibly stand against him?

“Boss Nieyan, the attributes of this Abak set… are just too insane,” Bad Guy Who Can’t Be Killed exclaimed. He didn’t even know what words to use to describe it anymore.

This set was already extremely powerful. Even an ordinary rogue wearing this gear could easily kill others instantly, let alone a super expert like Nieyan!

“Isn’t this set supposed to be level 180? Why can Boss Nieyan wear it?”

“Yeah, this set doesn’t even have gems embedded to lower the requirements.”

“I have an attribute that reduces the level requirement by thirty when using equipment,” Nieyan replied.

Everyone rolled their eyes. Even at level 150, wearing such a level 180 set still made him overwhelmingly powerful. Was there any room left for others to survive?

Once the Abak set was displayed, all other equipment seemed inferior. Even the Goddess set that Xie Yao had been collecting for a long time couldn’t compare to the Abak set.
