Chapter 825 - Loot of a Grand Lord
"It's finally dead!"
They could not help but release a sigh of relief when they saw the Frost Bone Dragon fall to the ground, the Grand Lord's HP thoroughly depleted.
As the Bone Dragon fell to the ground, everyone's experience bars filled abruptly by a large margin.
"So much EXP!"
A golden glow illuminated Autumn Goose, Death Wind, Gunfire, Thoughtful Rain, and Blue Bamboo as all five of them leveled from Level 38 to 39, shock coloring their expressions.
Even the combined EXP they had gained when they had killed the twenty Great Lords could not compete with the EXP from a single Frost Bone Dragon.
While the team celebrated their success of killing the Frost Bone Dragon, a sudden system notification surprised them.
System Announcement: Congratulations! You have killed the Guardian Boss Frost Bone Dragon! War God's Temple Reputation +20 points. Rewarding 5 Basic Medals of Honor.
"Wah! We've hit the jackpot! We got 5 Basic Medals of Honor!"
Autumn Goose and the others were similarly stunned. They had never imagined such great rewards for killing the Frost Bone Dragon.
They had heard that many large Guilds had organized massive expeditions to conquer towns. Aside from earning Honor Points, two other important reason for these Guilds' expeditions was to increase their Reputation with the War God's Temple and obtain Basic Medals of Honor.
The higher one's War God's Temple Reputation was, the more discounts one could obtain when trading Honor Points for items. At the same time, after one's Reputation with the Temple reached a certain level, they could trade for higher ranking items.
The high-ranking items available could tempt even top-tier expert players, much less ordinary expert players.
For example: Battlefield Mounts, rare Skills, high-ranking rare potions, and many other items that were not available on the market.
Although a Battlefield Mount was only useful in the Abyss Battlefield, the Mount was of very high quality. Players could trade for a Bronze Mount almost immediately. As one's War God's Temple Reputation increased, one could even obtain a Dark-Gold Mount. These Mounts could boost a player's combat power in the Abyss Battlefield significantly. Furthermore, there were many powerful Skills available.
However, these high-ranking items demanded one thing beyond the cost of Honor Points.
They required Basic Medals of Honor!
Obtaining a single Bronze Battlefield Mount required 20 Basic Medals of Honor and 30,000 Honor Points.
Without Basic Medals of Honor, even if a player had all the Honor Points in the world, they could not afford the truly useful items.
However, it was extremely difficult to obtain a Basic Medal of Honor. From what they had learned from the past few days of research, a single Basic Metal of Honor would be awarded to players who helped capture a town. Now, they had each obtained five medals. That was the equivalent of capturing five towns.
If one wanted to purchase a Bronze Mount, they'd need to capture 20 towns.
Capturing a town was easier said than done.
Unlike the outside world, once players died in the Abyss Battlefield, they had to wait until the next day before entering the battlefield again. Hence, one's life was essential in the Abyss Battlefield. To avoid death, players proceeded with caution and spent a long time raiding a single town.
Currently, there were no Bronze Mounts available on the market. Only a single Common Mount was for sale, costing 40 Gold. Even if someone sold a Bronze Mount, it would cost several hundred Gold, at the very least. How could ordinary players possibly afford that?
If one wanted to ride a Bronze Mount, this was the fastest method to achieve that dream.
In the Abyss Battlefield, Battlefield Mounts were slightly more powerful than normal Mounts. Not only were they faster, but their combat power was also higher by a rank. A Fine-Gold Battlefield Mount could rival a Chieftain of the same Level, while Dark-Gold Battlefield Mounts could rival Lords. With such a Mount, players could obtain Honor Points more easily in the future.
While everyone enjoyed their elation over their unexpected harvest, Shi Feng had appraised all of the items the Frost Bone Dragon had dropped.
Although the Frost Bone Dragon had only dropped five items, they were either top-tier weapons or equipment.
"Big Brother Ye Feng, what kind of items did the Boss drop to make you so happy? Hurry up and share! Don't keep them to yourself!" Blue Bamboo's curiosity grew when she saw the smile on Shi Feng's face.
This was her first time raiding a Grand Lord. Moreover, there was a rumor going around that Grand Lords had a chance of dropping Epic items.
"Nothing much. I'm just happy because we managed to complete the Abyss Set. Aside from that, the Boss also dropped a Level 40 Dark-Gold ranked shield, a Level 40 Dark-Gold ranked ring, and a pair of Growth-type gloves," Shi Feng said, laughing. He then shared the details of the shield and ring through the team chat.

"This shield's Defense is especially high. This alone is already a match for my total Defense." Aqua Rose was dumbstruck after examining the Frost Bone Shield's Attributes.
The Divine Bluefire Shield Cola currently used only had 1,950 Defense. However, the Frost Bone Shield could provide 4,720 points to one's Defense. Beyond that, the shield had a Passive Damage Reduction Skill and an Active Skill that provided pseudo-invulnerability.
With this shield, they could even take on Bosses' super-powerful Skills in the future. Particularly when the healers could not keep up with the damage the MT with the Frost Bone Shield took, said MT could use Frost Body to alleviate the burden.

When these players saw the Ice Spirit Ring's statistics, their eyes nearly fell out of their sockets.
"With this ring, a magical class's damage output would increase by at least 20%!" Blue Bamboo exclaimed as she drooled over the ring. This was the first time she had ever seen a ring with such amazing Attributes.
Ornaments were very rare in God's Domain. They were even worth far more than weapons.
Despite being fully geared in top-tier equipment, her current ring was only a Level 20 Mysterious-Iron Ring. However, she was considered quite well-off. Many players still wore Level 10 Bronze ranked rings.
However, compared to the Ice Spirit Ring, her Level 20 ring was practically trash.
"Don't get too excited. Neither the shield nor the ring can compare to how valuable these gloves are." Shi Feng then shared the gloves' stats with his team.
