Chapter 84 - Red Lotus Set, Area Burning
Without hesitation, Zhou Han immediately enhanced the fragments he had just obtained.
At this moment, all four fragments appeared in his hands,
merging together and forming the shape of a flame.
[Detected that you have combinable fragments. Do you want to combine them?]
"Combine!"
After choosing to combine, as soon as the words fell,
a red light flashed, like flickering sparks,
slowly condensing into a complete set.
[Red Lotus Set has been combined. Please check its attributes!]
As expected, it was Diamond-grade, and it even came with an area-burning effect.
Zhou Han only took a quick glance,
before directly activating enhancement,
and the enhanced attributes appeared.
[Red Lotus Set +7]
Grade: Diamond
Attributes: +20,000 HP, +2,000 Attack, +1,000 Defense, +200 Movement Speed
Effect 1: All enemy units within a 30-meter radius take fire damage equal to 5% of your maximum HP per second.
Effect 2: All attribute resistances increased by 100%, Fire resistance increased by 300%.
Effect 3: 50% chance to be immune to control effects, restores 2% of maximum HP per second.
Description: Condensed from the essence of karmic red lotus flames. Fire damage dealt gains additional bonuses.
Awesome!
HP increased by 20,000, and attack, defense, and movement speed all went up as well.
A Diamond-grade set was truly powerful!
His attributes were instantly maxed out.
Effect 1 was a passive AoE fire damage. As long as enemy units entered within a 30-meter range, they would be attacked by the karmic lotus flames.
It dealt 5% of max HP as fire damage.
Right now, Zhou Han's total HP exceeded 60,000,
which meant at least 3,000 fire damage per second, and it was AoE.
If Zhou Han were to kill Blood Shadow Violent Bears now,
he would only need to rush into their group,
and in just 2 seconds, he could wipe them all out.
Thinking about it was quite terrifying.
Effect 2 increased resistances, and the boost was quite substantial.
Effect 3 provided control immunity with a 50% chance, which was very strong.
There was also a healing effect, restoring HP based on percentage.
Although it seemed weaker than the previous flat healing for now,
percentage-based healing would become stronger over time.
Looking at the [Red Lotus Set] in his hand, it looked like a cloak,
radiating a warm aura.
Zhou Han immediately put it on. The fabric felt comfortable and exuded a strong presence.
However, since it was red, the color was a bit too bright,
so vividly red that it felt like a traditional wedding outfit.
"Whatever, I'll just make do. The stats are too good!"
Zhou Han rarely wore bright-colored clothes, so he could only comfort himself.
"Moo moo moo…"
Suddenly, several demonic beasts rushed out from nowhere. They looked like bulls
and immediately launched an attack on Zhou Han.
After appraising them, he found that these beasts were called [Water Moon Savage Bulls], with about 7,000 HP.
These beasts were extremely sensitive to red objects and flames, making them prone to attack.
"So that's how it is!"
Zhou Han chuckled.
"But perfect timing. Let me test the power of the Red Lotus Set!"
Soon, the charging [Water Moon Savage Bulls] entered within 30 meters of Zhou Han.
-4249
-4328
-4311
Sure enough, strings of damage numbers floated above their heads.
Flames ignited across their bodies, releasing the aroma of roasted beef.
"Hm? Over 4,000 damage?"
"It should be the additional fire damage from the karmic lotus flames!"
Zhou Han noticed the damage seemed off, but quickly realized the cause.
"Woohoo, this is insane! Feels so damn good!"
After just 2 seconds, all the [Water Moon Savage Bulls] collapsed.
Zhou Han cheered. This kind of farming efficiency was absolutely skyrocketing!
After grabbing two chunks of beef to fill his stomach,
Zhou Han continued fighting.
Or rather, it was just nonstop running.
Wherever he passed, demonic beasts collapsed one after another.
Most were killed within two seconds,
and even those with fire resistance could only last three seconds at most.
Later on, many beasts would flee at the mere sight of Zhou Han from afar,
their eyes filled with fear.
If they could talk, they'd probably be cursing already.
Damn it, you're already this strong, and you still come here to bully us?
Have you no shame? Not even a bit of dignity as a powerhouse!
Zhou Han didn't chase after the fleeing beasts.
After all, his ultimate goal was to kill the Nether Evil Swordsman.
Chasing them would waste too much time.
After sprinting all the way,
Zhou Han finally arrived at the target location of the Nether Evil Swordsman—
the deepest part of the Thunder Ruins, the Bone Cave.
The cave ahead was dark and eerie, with piles of white bones faintly visible inside.
Zhou Han showed no fear and stepped in without hesitation.
"Crack… crack…"
The sound of bones being crushed echoed.
After walking more than ten meters,
suddenly the bones seemed to come back to life,
reassembling into skeletons.
They surrounded him from all directions,
densely packed like an ocean of skeletons.
The number was terrifying, completely encircling Zhou Han.
"Weak human, this is the territory of our Bone Clan!"
"You dare trespass into our domain? Prepare to face the judgment of death!"
A sinister voice echoed, drawing closer.
Zhou Han narrowed his eyes and saw a massive skeleton
slowly approaching.
It flamboyantly wore a purple-gold cloak and even had a crown on its head,
looking utterly mismatched.
Zhou Han cast an appraisal on it, revealing its attributes clearly.
[Demon Descendant · Bone King]
[Grade: Diamond]
[Level: LV70]
[HP: 32,000]
[Attack: 6,000]
[Defense: 3,300]
[Skill 1: Skeleton Summon (As long as there are bones, skeleton soldiers can be endlessly summoned.)]
[Skill 2: Full Defense (Tempers bones to become harder, gaining 30% damage reduction.)]
[Skill 3: Demon Descendant Inheritance (As a member of the Bone Clan, gains the power of demonic inheritance, increasing all attributes by 200% for a short time.)]
[Description: Excels at swarm tactics. In battle, it is recommended to keep distance and avoid being surrounded. Weakness: Fire element, Light element.]
"So I've entered the territory of the Bone Clan. No wonder there are so many skeletons!"
After reading it, Zhou Han understood.
Clearly, these skeletons were summoned by the Bone King,
and their numbers were enormous.
For ordinary people, defeating them would be extremely difficult.
No wonder so many in Azure Thunder City feared these demon descendants.
This kind of swarm tactic was indeed terrifying.
Once surrounded by skeletons,
escape was nearly impossible.
But that was for others.
For Zhou Han, this was nothing!
"Swarm tactics?"
A smile appeared on Zhou Han's face.
Maybe it had some effect before,
but now, wearing the Red Lotus Set,
what he feared least was swarm tactics.
The more there were,
the more satisfying it would be to kill them!
