Chapter 142: Chapter 142 The Spider Queen’s Drop, Red Legend and Purple Epic!
“`
In the time it took to grill a skewer, Zi Liyuan’s level skyrocketed from Level 47 straight to the peak of Second Order Level 60.
If it weren’t for the experience bar locking again, necessitating the completion of a third advancement quest to break the level lock, he would surely continue to surge upward.
A whole 13 levels had been gained, and the 720 million experience points he had just earned, which had not even warmed up, were now 390 million short.
However, there were still more places that required spending experience points.
Zi Liyuan then opened the skills menu, his eyes sparkling with excitement as he started selecting skills that needed immediate upgrading.
For every 5 levels a professional rose, they could raise the level of their skills by one.
Now that he was Level 60, he could elevate his skill levels to Level 13, whereas they were currently Level 10.
The improvement brought by three skill levels should not be underestimated.
At least for several often-used mutant skills, the enhancement was quite terrifying.
Shadow Arrow (Level 13): In 1.8 seconds, condense dark energy into an arrow to attack a target, dealing 20,480 + 120% magic damage of the dark attribute, consuming 130 energy points, with no cooldown period.
Shadow Arrow Rain (Level 13): In 1.8 seconds, condense a large amount of dark energy into 15 shadow arrows to attack 15 spirit-locked targets, dealing 20,480 + 120% magic damage of the dark attribute, consuming 390 energy points, with a skill cooldown of 15 seconds.
Death Shadow Arrow (Level 13): In 1.8 seconds, condense death’s shadow energy into a death arrow, attacking a soul-locked target, dealing 409,600 + 185% magic damage of the aura of death, consuming 1,300 energy points, with a skill cooldown of 30 seconds.
Bone Spear (Level 13): In 1.8 seconds, condense the power of death into a three-meter-long Spear of Death, attacking a soul-locked target, dealing 204,800 + 165% magic damage of the aura of death and with a piercing effect, consuming 1,000 energy points, with a skill cooldown of 30 seconds.
Looking at his four frequently used offensive skills, Zi Liyuan was extremely satisfied, especially with “Death Shadow Arrow” and “Bone Spear,” one with 400k+ damage, the other with 200k+ damage, paired with the current effects of his equipped set, capable of one-shotting a boss with 1 million HP!
After that, he opened the “Summon Skeleton” skill and upgraded it from Level 10 to Level 13.
The many skills derived and enhanced from this ability were also raised to Level 13 at this moment, further strengthening the legion of skeletons once again.
But that was not enough; “Control Skeleton” and “Skeleton Reinforcement,” as well as “Attack Aura,” were also upgraded to Level 13.
It can be said that this round of enhancements increased the overall strength of the Skeleton Cannon Fodder Group by a third.
Then it was time for various curse skills and support skills.
Once this round of enhancements was completed, tens of millions of experience points were used up, meaning this round of leveling and strengthening cost a total of 400 million experience points to complete.
However, seeing the remaining 320 million experience points, someone suddenly felt it might not be enough, so should he continue to grind the “Guard The Energy Crystal” dungeon tomorrow to accumulate 1 billion experience points before attempting the third advancement task?

Having decided to continue grinding for benefits in the instance dungeon the next day, Zi Liyuan focused on finishing his skewers, contentedly packed up a large portion, and then casually walked toward his new home.
However, his mind was on the items inside his Spatial Backpack, to be precise, three pieces of equipment.
Upon reaching Level 60, two more equipment slots were unlocked, this time for the hands and shoulders, along with two more accessory slots, meaning he could now wear four additional pieces of equipment.
Among these three pieces of equipment was a pair of gloves, the other two were a set of accessories.
“Spider Queen’s Sinister Moon Gloves (Red Legendary): Casting speed +25%, Physical Defense +25%, Magic Resistance +25%, All attributes +25%, All mastered skills level +1, Attached skills: ‘Evil Moon Aura’, ‘Summon Demon Spider’; Equipment requirement: Level 60 magic class users. (Note: Tainted by the Evil God’s aura, using this equipment may attract the observation of the Evil God!)”
Evil Moon Aura: Upon activation, drains 10 points of Spiritual Energy per second, covers all friendly units within Soul Value range, granting Evil Moon Enhancement, increasing damage by 20%, Physical Defense by 15%, Magic Resistance by 10%, and speed by 5%.
Summon Demon Spider: Upon activation, summons a Demon Spider with the same level as the caster, possessing an Epic Boss template, to fight for you until its death. After the Demon Spider dies, the skill enters cooldown with a duration of 1 hour.
A Red Legendary piece of equipment, one of the items dropped by the Spider Queen after her death.
This super piece of equipment, which can only be used at Level 60, increases attributes by percentages, increases casting speed, and skill levels!
The two attached skills, one an aura that significantly boosts attributes, could dramatically strengthen Zi Liyuan’s army, especially for Lao Tie, making him even more formidable.
The latter skill, summoning, brings a high-end combat force to Zi Liyuan. Although it might not be as strong as Lao Tie, it’s still an Epic Boss!
It could be said that this piece of equipment alone provided an improvement to Zi Liyuan that could only be described as terrifying, especially in terms of attribute enhancement.
Moving beyond this equipment, there were another two Epic Quality accessories in purple.
“Queen’s Sinister Charm (Purple Epic, Set 1/2): All attributes +10%, Life value +10%, Spiritual Energy +10%, Attached skills: ‘Sinister Charm’, ‘Queen’s Shriek’; Equipment requirement: Level 60 magic class users. (Note: One of the Spider Queen’s Sinister Seduction set pieces)”
“Queen’s Temptation (Purple Epic, Set 1/2): All attributes +10%, Life value +10%, Spiritual Energy +10%, Attached skills: ‘Temptation’, ‘Queen’s Kiss’; Equipment requirement: Level 60 magic class users. (Note: One of the Spider Queen’s Sinister Seduction set pieces)”
Spider Queen’s Sinister Seduction set effects: All attributes +2%, Life value +2%, Spiritual Energy +2%, Attached skill ‘Mind Control’.
Sinister Charm: Uses the queen’s visage to charm a target, rendering them infatuated for 15 seconds, unable to extricate themselves. Skill cooldown: 1 minute. (Note: Any damage will break the charm effect.)
Queen’s Shriek: A shriek released by the Spider Queen, causing all enemy units within the range of the Soul Value to suffer 300% Magic Damage and stuns them for 3 seconds. Skill cooldown: 1 minute. (Note: The inflicted damage will not break the stun effect.)
Temptation: Uses the beauty of the queen to entice a target, making them fight for the queen for 15 seconds. Skill cooldown: 1 minute (Note: Only effective against Lord Boss templates and below.)
Queen’s Kiss: The Spider Queen’s kiss plunges a target into an illusion for 1 minute. Skill cooldown: 10 minutes. (Note: Each time damage is dealt, the duration is reduced by 1 second.)
Mind Control: Enslave and control a target until they die or control is lifted; Skill cooldown: 12 hours. (Note: Can only be used on those of the same or lower level than the user, can only enslave Lord Boss templates or below.)
