[Affix]: Gift of Destiny
"Gift of Destiny": All gifts of destiny are secretly marked with a price. Wearing the Ring of Destiny can enhance hidden attributes such as luck and charm.
The Ring of Destiny was, of course, an item obtained from the Puppet Master.
It was acquired by Tian Yong, the fellow countryman from Jiangcheng who died at the Puppet Master's hands, from the Olympus ruins on the European Continent.
According to mythology,
Tyche
is the Goddess of Luck in the Olympian mythological system.
She is also the Goddess of Destiny.
Although the ring doesn't explicitly state how much luck it increases,
the fact that it can change the direction of a meteor about to hit him
is enough to prove the power of its luck value.
If he didn't have the effect of this ring, plus the lucky revolver,
Lin Xuan wouldn't dare to get involved in a Fourth-Order Demon's battle.
Fortunately, he did.
With this ring,
Lin Xuan finally replaced the Demon Frog Ring he obtained when he was level five.
That Demon Frog Ring could only restore one point of mana per minute.
For his current attributes,
it was no longer suitable.
It was just that he hadn't found a replacement until now.
Whoosh—!
Lin Xuan used Void Walk and Flash forward.
He dodged another rain of meteors falling from the sky.
The fire rain missed Lin Xuan by only one or two centimeters.
After landing, it directly cracked the ground within the ruins.
Such a thrilling scene
was something Lin Xuan had grown accustomed to by now.
In fact,
his skill, Void Walk, has invincibility frames during displacement.
However, this invincibility requires precise timing, like in a video game.
Normally, Lin Xuan might pay attention to these thrilling scenes.
But now it was different; he was about to face a Fourth-Order Demon.
That was a powerhouse in the Demigod realm.
He naturally had to use some special methods.
Which was luck.
Luck isn't just reflected in the rewards obtained after battle!
It can have an effect in various aspects.
For example, enhancing the critical hit rate of one's strength.
And, dodging skills.
In fact,
Lin Xuan felt that these two bonus effects were much stronger than opening treasure chests.
If the luck value is high,
even if there's only a one percent critical hit rate,
it can be triggered frequently.
And dodging is even more terrifying.
Lin Xuan remembered watching a movie clip about luck in his previous life.
There was a person recruiting members for a superpower team.
One woman said her superpower was luck.
Initially, the person recruiting her didn't take it seriously.
But later,
during a dangerous mission, all the other team members died.
This lucky ability user
just proceeded with the mission at a normal, ordinary pace.
As a result, she not only dodged various dangers
but also successfully completed the mission.
It was because of this clip
that Lin Xuan had been trying to find equipment and items that increased luck ever since he obtained the lucky revolver.
He didn't expect
that the first ring would actually be a gift from a fellow countryman.
Tian Yong had asked him for a few things before he died.
Although this ring was something he obtained at the cost of his life,
Lin Xuan was not someone who couldn't distinguish right from wrong.
If Tian Yong hadn't told him about the Ring of Destiny,
Lin Xuan would not have had such a dangerous idea of killing the Puppet Master.
"After I resolve the current troubles, I'll go to Jiangcheng to find your teammates and give them appropriate compensation."
As Lin Xuan thought this, a skill exploded beside him.
The flames generated by the explosion rushed towards Lin Xuan.
Before they could even touch him, they automatically dissipated into the world.
This was luck!
"Not bad, high luck is indeed a very strong ability."
Lin Xuan smiled confidently and continued to dodge.
In just one minute,
he had already traversed several thousand meters.
Finally,
Lin Xuan arrived a thousand meters away from the Demon.
At this distance,
Lin Xuan could already attack the opponent.
However, a thousand meters for a Fourth-Order Demon also meant they could kill Lin Xuan with a single skill.
Lin Xuan dared not be careless, nor did he rush to attack.
He was waiting, waiting for an opportunity that could help Change turn the tide!
In fact,
Lin Xuan could be certain that
the Fourth-Order Demon named Fire Cloud Flying, not far away, had definitely noticed his presence.
However, in the opponent's eyes,
his level of sixty-plus was like an ant.
Since he was an ant,
they naturally wouldn't care about an ant watching the battle.
"Being an ant is good."
Lin Xuan didn't care about the disdainful look in the Demon's eyes.
He activated the Adamantite Shield with a value of tens of millions.
This unique equipment obtained in the Black Wind Cave
almost became the key equipment for him to kill the Second-Order powerhouse, the Puppet Master.
He could gain a shield with a value equal to his HP.
And after the shield was broken, it could quickly regenerate.
"One minute left."
Lin Xuan silently kept track of the time.
His lucky revolver currently only had two bullets left.
After he used one just now, the luck enhancement effect only had one minute remaining.
If he couldn't find an opportunity within the next minute, he would have to use the last bullet.
If he still couldn't find an opportunity after using the last one,
Lin Xuan planned to forcibly release his Sword Core and then quickly hide in the Frost Domain.
There was no other way; if he only had the lucky revolver or the Ring of Destiny's enhancement,
he wouldn't be able to automatically dodge any attacks.
Only with both items enhancing him simultaneously did Lin Xuan dare to be so bold.
Leveling up was still too slow.
As Lin Xuan sighed, an opportunity suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Die for me!"
The demonic energy on Fire Cloud Flying's body frantically gathered towards the flaming long saber.
Even the hundreds of meters tall illusory demonic shadow above his head clasped its hands together, condensing an equally gigantic flaming demonic saber.
Oh my god!
It's not that mages have no output, it's that mages play melee!
This Fourth-Order Demon, Fire Cloud Flying,
had actually hidden the fact that he was a melee mage from the very beginning.
No wonder after fighting for so long,
Lin Xuan found that his flame skills, apart from meteor shower, were just oversized fireballs.
He didn't expect
the opponent to be so sinister.
"Hahaha, today, I shall slaughter a god!"
Fire Cloud Flying let out a sinister laugh, and the demonic energy on his body instantly contracted by half at this moment.
Even the demonic shadow above his head became much more ethereal.
But the flaming demonic saber became even more solid, with the flames on it almost turning into substance, condensing into a ferocious fiery dragon phantom.
"Boom—!"
The flaming long saber, accompanied by the hundreds of meters tall flaming demonic saber, slashed towards Change.
This attack
was definitely the strongest attack Fire Cloud Flying could unleash.
The scorching flames were so hot that Lin Xuan, even a thousand meters away, could feel the burning temperature.
He had no doubt that
if the saber light from this attack grazed him,
even with the Adamantite Shield, he would die.
As for Change,
her current state meant she couldn't dodge this earth-shattering blow.
Before this,
she had already been surrounded by two gigantic flame beasts.
The attacks of these two beasts were like a raging storm, giving her no chance to escape.
The opportunity was coming!
