Chapter 819 - Legendary Tyrant Abak Se (1/2)
The revived players activated their Return Scrolls and teleported away. The 26 Shamans stayed behind until the very end, making sure everyone got out safely before leaving themselves.
The team members returned from Blaze City to Okoron and met back up in the guild headquarters.
“Boss, did you get that treasure?”
“Did you get anything good?”
...
Everyone bombarded Nie Yan with questions. They still had lingering fears from the fight with Bencroft. Even with all 500 of them attacking him non-stop for quite some time, his health still didn’t drop one bit. On the flipside, he could kill them with one attack, pretty much sweeping through them like chopping vegetables. The treasure he guarded definitely had to be extraordinary.
“Of course,” Nie Yan replied. After putting in so much effort, he naturally wouldn’t return empty-handed. “Let me take a look.”
Nie Yan examined the properties of the leg guards.

The properties of the Leg Guards of Focus were a little disappointing. They didn’t offer any supplementary skills. However, the important thing was that it was a set item, meaning Nie Yan had finally completed the Tyrant Abak Set.
After equipping the entire set, Nie Yan would also receive powerful set bonuses!
Nie Yan checked his level. He was still 7% away from levelling up to Level 150. The final hurdle. Where should I go to fill up that remaining 7%? Nie Yan suddenly remembered he still had experience he hadn’t collected yet! Righteous Faction players would be given a certain amount of experience from the Mercenary Association for every Evil Faction player they killed. Nie Yan had completely forgotten about this matter until now. He had killed so many Evil Faction players already, but he had never collected his reward. He had probably accumulated quite a bit so far.
Nie Yan headed to the Mercenary Association to collect his experience reward. His experience bar filled up from 93% to 98%. Just a little more!
「Guo Huai, how many Wandering Bard’s Sheet Music Scraps are in the guild warehouse?」
「32 in total,」Guo Huai said. The people under him had never stopped gathering the sheet music scraps.
「Good. Have someone deliver them over,」Nie Yan said.
「Alright.」
Before long, Nie Yan received the 32 Wandering Bard’s Sheet Music Scraps. After turning them in, he finally levelled up to Level 150.
Finally! I can finally equip the Tyrant Abak Set! Nie Yan impatiently put on the set. It was dark violet in colour. Every piece was engraved with a mysterious and ancient marking. Its design was fairly reserved. Even though ordinary people could tell it was a set at a glance, few would notice that it was Legendary-grade. Apart from the six pieces of amour, the set also included two daggers. They were curved like the fangs of a viper and shared the same peculiar crimson colour. Their sharp, cutting edges gave of a stifling murderous aura that shook the hearts of all those who saw them.
After equipping the Tyrant Abak Set, Nie Yan felt a strange energy surging into him. It was like a never ending deluge. At the same time, the armour lit up with a dazzling violet radiance. The colorful aura made him look like a deity high above the clouds.
Nie Yan looked at the properties of the Tyrant Abak Set. Apart from the stats from the individual pieces, he also received several set bonuses. All his stats were increased by 200%, as well as the max rank of his skills. He also received four supplementary skills. The first was a passive skill called Slaughter Aura. All his attacks would deal 50% splash damage to enemies in the immediate vicinity. The second was a passive skill called Unlimited Bladeworks. It increased the execution speed of his skills, boosted the damage bonus from linking attacks, and raised the effects of all his crowd control skills by 50. Regarding the damage bonus for linking attacks, the first hit in a combo would deal 100% damage, the second 200%, the third 400%, and so on. The third was a passive skill called Bloodthirst Aura. All allies near him would enter a bloodthirsty state and have their stats increased by 120%. The fourth was an active skill called Instant Transmission. After knowing a location, he could instantly teleport there. It could even be used to go from the underworld to the surface. Its cooldown was half-an-hour.
This was definitely an unrivalled, godly equipment set! Any one of these four skills was beyond amazing.
Ordinary players had a hard enough time finding even a single piece of a Legendary equipment set, to say nothing of collecting the full set. The Tyrant Abak Set wasn’t just any Legendary set either, it was a Level 180 Legendary set! Those ordinary low level Legendary items looked like normal rarity items next to it. This set was something that players would normally only hear about in myths and legends.
With the Tyrant Abak Set, Nie Yan would be unrivalled, at least for the time being.
Nie Yan looked at his stats. Both his attack and defense were over 30,000 now. Plus, the Tyrant Abak Set wasn’t leather armour but rather the formidable divine armour. In terms of physical defense, it was comparable to a Warrior’s heavy armour. At the same time, its resistance against magic was far superior to anything a Warrior could wear. His health had reached over 60,000, and his dodge chance was 79%. All his stats had reached a level that ordinary players could hardly imagine. Even the other Masters of Asskickers United were completely eclipsed.
Nie Yan’s heart was racing with excitement upon seeing these stats. There was no one in the world that could stop him now!
Announcement: The Age of Gods expansion has been released.
Age of Gods: Master classes are now fully available. The Legend class advancement quest is unlocked. Nation wars are released. Brave adventurers, bravely press forward and pursue eternal strength! Create legends and become the rulers of this world!
The sudden announcement caught the entire playerbase off guard. Players everywhere went into an uproar.
“Master classes are now fully available!?”
“Does that mean becoming a Master will be easier?”
“What is that Legend class advancement quest all about? Does that mean I can class advance into a Legendary Mage after becoming a Magister?” a Mage muttered.
…
Everyone was fervently discussing the release of the Age of Gods expansion. Back in the Asskickers United guild headquarters in Okoron, Nie Yan was completely dumbstruck. He never thought him putting on the Tyrant Abak Set would cause such a huge commotion.
Nie Yan was completely clueless about the Age of Gods expansion. This expansion hadn’t yet been released in his past life. After quickly scanning the information, his first reaction wasn’t one of joy. Since Master classes were fully available to everyone now, the advantage Asskickers United had built up would probably vanish. Luckily, there was also some good news. The Legend class advancement quest. This shook Nie Yan’s heart. Could it be that above Masters were Legends? Could it be the same as those Legendary NPCs?
The guild chat was extremely lively, with a lot of discussion going on about the Age of Gods expansion. Nie Yan started lurking.
「Master classes are fully available now. I wonder if I meet the requirements...」
「Yeah, me too. I’m Level 130 with 7,638 defense. Do you think I’m strong enough?」
「We won’t know if we don’t try. I heard a Class Advancement Hall opened up in Calore. Let’s go there and accept the class advancement quest.」
