Second World Chapter 714. Sword Fiend’S Gear

Chapter 714. Sword Fienda??S Gear

The energy blast of the Ki Strike exploded spectacularly. Domon's application of mana manipulation on game skills could impress even a being like Pallas, the power of the Ki Strike just now was nothing to scoff at.
Mihos shot out from the impact. He flew a large distance away before managing to plant his feet back on the ground and skidded to a stop. When he was about to lunge back, Pallas' voice was heard from the sky, "Stop! The match has ended."
Mihos was surprised by the announcement but when he took a look at himself, he found his HP was below half already.
The void around them crumbled, revealing the outside world again. Those who had died have been revived back. They were all standing in the arena.
Callan came to them with claps. The audience followed with their clappings.
"Amazing! The ten of you are truly worthy of being the champions among outworlders," Callan praised.
'Considering it needs ten of us to take one of you down, by even half a life to add, I wouldn't say that as impressive,' Jack thought in his mind.
Callan, however, showed genuine admiration. He came and shook each of the ten's hands. Mihos, on the other hand, only showed his appreciation to Jack, Domon, Arthur, and Leavemealone.
"You sword moves are very impressive," Mihos said to Arthur. To Domon, he said, "Your mastery in mana manipulation is a marvel, it truly opens my eyes."
To Jack and Leavemealone, Mihos addressed both of them together, "You two are rather recklessa?| but brave. It is an honor to fight you."
"The honor is ours," Jack replied for the both of them. He knew Leavemealone would just be rude and say nothing.
"Uma?| Our rewards," Princess Purple uttered. Jack turned to her. 'Damn, girl,' he uttered in his mind.
Callan didn't mind. "Of course," He said. He asked everyone to stand in a line as he took out the golden orb he had used to hand out the rewards during the prize-giving ceremony.
"Yellow Death, please come forward," Callan called.
Yellow Death had been wearing a glum face. He was the first one to be sent out from the match just now. He was wondering if the quality of his reward would be reduced because of that?
Callan showed him the description of the reward. He was given level 50 super rare grade seven-piece set equipment specialized for a gunner as well as a selection of weapons to choose from.
The divine priest was not kidding, the rewards they gave for this bonus match were exactly the same as the first winner of the tournament, albeit no gold coins.
Yellow Death was still gaping at the description when Callan asked him, "Is there a problem?"
He snapped out of his daze and hurriedly say, "No, no, no problem!" He hurriedly interfaced with the holographic display in front of him. He took the set equipment and quickly selected a long rifle from the weapon selection. He was afraid that if he took his time, Callan might change his mind.

Yellow Death's face was beaming with a smile as he returned to the line. When he passed Jack by, Jack said to him, "All's well that ends well, right?"
Yellow Death's face was back to scowling again, he said to Jack, "Well my ass! I would have gotten double the prize already if not for your meddling!"
'Shit! If not for my meddling, you wouldn't even be the champion,' Jack cursed in his mind. Some people just couldn't learn to be satisfied.
Callan continued to call one after the other. Jack noticed the order of the call was based on who died first in the bonus match. Red Death was next, after that was David, then Selena, and so on, but the rewards were the same. No one got a better one even if they were killed later.
David had gotten a super rare handgun in the previous reward, so this time he chose a super rare dagger. The weapons on his two hands were now equally deadly. For Giant Steve, he chose a super rare tower shield instead of a weapon. He knew his role was better as a protector, a shield would serve better than a weapon.
While waiting for his turn, Jack asked Peniel in his mind. 'What was that Ancestral Possession you mentioned during the fight just now?'
'Ancestral Possession is a standard skill that Berserker received once they reach level 50,' Peniel answered.
'What? A berserker will receive such a powerful skill at level 50?' Jack almost blurted out loud. Mihos had certainly almost turned the tide when he used the skill.
'All level 50 skills are powerful,' Peniel remarked. 'As I mentioned before, level 50 will be the last level that an elite class receives a free standard skill. After that, one has to either find a special class or learn additional skills from technique books. Anyway, the Ancestral Possession that Mihos exhibited during the fight is not the standard Ancestral Possession a Berserker possesses when they get the skill. This skill was very much like your Beast Form skill. Every berserker will have the same standard ancestor when they used the skill, but through quests or other means, one can gain a different and more powerful ancestor to be summoned. The ancestral spirit Mihos had summoned was a much more powerful one compared to the standard one. The ancestral spirit he used with the skill is called the Spirit of the Divine Lion.'
'Well, the skill itself is already impressive without hearing its name,' Jack remarked.
Jack, Arthur, Domon, and Princess Purple didn't die in the bonus match. The order by which Callan called these four was random but the rewards were also the same. The exception was only in Arthur's case. Since he had received these rewards before, Callan presented him with different rewards. He received a super rare necklace, two super rare rings, and a super rare cloak.
'Damn!' Jack thought. This draconian swordmaster now boasted better equipment than even him. The two rings on his person at the moment were still rare grades.
For Jack, the weapon selection was not that enticing, considering his Storm Breaker and the sword he imprinted on his Magic Weapon spell were both already super-rare grades. He just chose a random longsword. He would use this extra piece for leveling up his Storm Breaker later. The seven-piece set equipment, however, was a welcome sight.
All his armors were already super-rare grade, but many of them were closing the limit by which he could level them up. Additionally, these set equipment provided bonuses if he equipped a set together. These were even set equipment specialized for the Blade Dancer class.
He immediately equipped his new set equipment on spot.

The total physical and magical defense if only considering these seven gears were 1274 and 1110 respectively. These figures were less than his previous equipped equipment. The reason was that his previous armors were all level 53 already.
However, he still chose to wear this set equipment. Other than because these equipment's abilities catered to his Blade Dancer class, the reason was because of its set bonuses.
*
Set bonus of Sword Fiend's Gear:
Two equipment: +100 to physical and magical defense
Four equipment: +30% to dexterity, +10% to movement and attack speed.
Six equipment: Blade orbs will no longer be reset if an attack is parried or blocked
Full set equipment: Increase maximum blade orbs to 30
*
With the +100 points to both physical and magical defense, they roughly covered the defenses he lost from using these set equipment which were three levels lower.
The other bonuses were also very helpful for his Blade Dancer class. Now his blade orbs would only reset if his attack missed. As long as he hit the enemy, even if the attacks are parried or blocked without causing any damage, his blade orbs would remain. In addition, his maximum blade orbs had increased from twenty to thirty. If all thirty blade orbs appeared, his damage would increase by 30% for every single attack as long as the blade orbs were not reset.
