Chapter 359 Supplementary Sword Upgrade (1/2)
The Phantom Orb was stuck tightly in the pocket with the dagger at the deepest part of the Weapon Belt. If Lin Jie had not searched intensely, he would not have found it.
[Phantom Orb]: Symbol of a Phantom Thief. Once you reach Level 40, find the Phantom Thief, and he may explain some things to you. (Note: Item will explode when the holder dies)
”Phantom Orb?” Lin Jie suddenly recalled a television drama from 100 years ago, titled ”My Own Swordsman”. In the show, there was a thief called Bai Yutang, who had a token, which was his identity, as well as an item that equaled to his lifeline.
This Phantom Orb was a symbol of a Phantom Thief! He had no idea how Demon Robe had managed to get it.
However, seeing that the item had the stats where it would explode after death, Lin Jie could tell that it was no ordinary item. At the very least, it was an important item for Demon Robe, who was a Bandit. After finding the Wind Rider Sword Saint, Lin Jie had learned to use Blade Aura Executioner, which had leveled up to become Wind Rider Blade Aura Executioner. As a result, he had a great advantage in the early stages. Even now, Wind Rider Blade Aura Executioner was an essential skill for Lin Jie as a good AOE skill. If he were to lose this skill, his attacks and leveling proficiency would drop drastically.
The Phantom Thief and Wind Rider Sword Saint were heroes from the same era.
Lin Jie kept the treasure into his bag, which was full of great loots, and patted it happily. It would explode when the holder died… He still had the Broken Blade on him, so no matter what, he would never die. Even if there were to be dozens of items that would explode after death, he was not the least bit worried!
However, there was still an important thing to do.
He turned his hands around, and the sharp Supplementary Sword appeared on the palm of his hand. On top of that, there was a huge hammer! The silver-gray hammer was extremely heavy as if it was made and cut out from a large piece of dark ore. It was indeed a weapon dropped from the Dark Waters Kingsnake!
[Decayed Stone Hammer] (Dark Gold Fragment)
Requires: Level 35, Strength: 250 and above
Attack: 351-455
Strength: +35
Wisdom: +35

Attack Level: +12, Critical Hit Level: +10

Note: The Decayed Stone Hammer is an incomplete Dark Gold weapon. You need to find the Water Stone Hammer and fuse it with the gem in order to unleash all of its strength.
Dark Gold Fragment, Decayed Stone Hammer! This weapon for Retribution Paladins had a high attack, strong additional effects, and doubled the stats for Attack and Critical Hit levels. It was an upgrade for the Hammers of Discipline… The only flaw of such a great weapon was that the Strength requirement level was too high.
The basic stats to increase for Paladins was Endurance. Even for Retribution Paladins, three points had to be added to Endurance before Strength was even considered. Furthermore, Paladins needed to increase their Wisdom as well since they used many magic skills during battle.
Paladins had always been a job that required high Wisdom stats, and even more so for Retribution Paladins.
It would require a Paladin to level up his job and attain a Mystic Skill Book in order to reach 250 points in Strength. As such, Lin Jie was willing to feed the hammer to the blade. After the Supplementary Sword had devoured the Mara Armor, it had become restless. Maybe if it devoured another item, it would evolve!
”Here, eat it,” said Lin Jie as he moved the Decayed Stone Hammer towards the Broken Blade.
The blade began to stir and devoured the giant hammer. A stream of air that was visible to the naked eye streamed slowly into the sword.
It was as if a large snake had engulfed a bull in one bite.
The body of the Supplementary Sword slowly expanded, and the Broken Blade grew by a few centimeters. The reflection from the blade was bright, and the sword was dazzling.
[Metallic Supplementary Sword] (Gold)
No job restriction
Requires: Equipping of the Heritage Broken Blade
Attack: 100-200
Strength: +20
Endurance: +20
Additional effect: When used with the Broken Blade, the cooldown period will be the same as the Broken Blade. The interval between each Broken Blade attack will be reduced by 60%.
'The cooldown time has decreased again? Is the upgrade for this Supplementary Sword increasing the attack speed of Broken Blade?' Lin Jie began slashing with the blade. Initially, he could only deliver five hits at a time. Now, after his fifth blow, he was able to send another hit flying!
Although it seemed as if the Supplementary Sword upgrade was not significant, it actually had a strong effect! Its importance was even on par with the Broken Blade.
'What a shame, the flesh, scales, and bones of the Dark Waters Kingsnake were all absorbed by the Sea King Scaly Armor and not even a single strand of hair was left behind. Otherwise, I could've gotten a dozen more materials for Gold equipment.' When Lin Jie recalled the sight in the Arcane Cage, he smiled.
The Dark Waters Kingsnake was large and strong. However, when facing Lin Jie, it had fallen over with a push just like a paper tiger!
The most fearsome part about the Dark Waters Kingsnake was its scales! In his past life, a player had come up with a way to defeat it. The plan was to first use the Hunter Skill [False Death] to remove aggro, and then use the pet [Famer's Pig] to gain the ability to break armor. The ability would allow one to slice off the scales of the Dark Waters Kingsnake and kill it.
However, Lin Jie had the Dragon Armor Removal Skill—Who do you want to have their scales peeled? Just find Lone Wolf in The New Age! For Lin Jie, there was no need for him to even lift his finger to remove the scales of the Dark Waters Kingsnake and kill it.
After defeating the Dark Waters Kingsnake, Lin Jie had successfully attained a drop of crystal water.
