Chapter 1838 – Fragmented Legendary s.h.i.+eld’s Hidden Effect Inside the resplendent meeting room…

After s.h.i.+ Feng clicked to upgrade the t.i.tan Guard, the s.h.i.+eld began to glow with a brilliant light that forced the players in the room to close their eyes.

By the time everyone reopened their eyes, they felt a horrific pressure wash over them. Instinctively, these players took up a defensive stance.

“What’s going on? What’s with this powerful aura?”

“Could it be from that s.h.i.+eld? This can’t be possible, right? This aura is as intense as that of a Mythic monster.”

All of these players were experts, and they had experienced countless life-or-death battles. They had long since developed senses that surpa.s.sed that of a wild beast

If they hadn’t known that they were absolutely safe in this meeting room, they would’ve pulled out their weapons and prepared for combat

Once the intensity of the t.i.tan Guard’s aura reached its peak, it began to fade.

So, this is a Fragmented Legendary s.h.i.+eld? s.h.i.+ Feng was inwardly shocked as he felt the t.i.tan Guard become lighter than it had been.

Although the s.h.i.+eld had never been particularly heavy, holding it still restricted his movement

Now, however, the t.i.tan Guard was as light as a feather. It felt as if the cold, tough metallic frame were merely an illusion. The s.h.i.+eld’s hidden effect was truly frightening.

It was common knowledge in G.o.d’s Domain that s.h.i.+elds were so large so the MTs could effectively block a Boss’s attacks. In return, the s.h.i.+elds were considerably heavy. Of course, there were lighter s.h.i.+elds, such as wooden or steel bucklers.

Although a buckler was easier to use and gave MTs more freedom of movement, its flaws were apparent With a buckler’s small size, blocking attacks properly was strenuous. This was especially true during a high-speed fight. Hence, the various large Guilds’ MTs usually used large, heavy s.h.i.+elds.

However, now, not only did the t.i.tan Guard possess a huge defensive area, but it was also light It was a dream s.h.i.+eld for any MT.

Moreover, compared to the t.i.tan Guard’s hidden effect, its new Attributes were truly frightening.

With these Attributes, an ordinary MT could immediately become a peak MT by equipping the t.i.tan Guard.

“Guild Leader, how are the Attributes?” Cola asked excitedly.

“Take a look for yourself,” s.h.i.+ Feng said, chuckling. He then pa.s.sed the t.i.tan Guard back to Cola.

When Cola received the t.i.tan Guard, he noticed the change to the s.h.i.+eld’s weight. When he saw the s.h.i.+eld’s Attributes, even his breathing became harsh.

“Guild Leader, can we go find a Mythic Boss?” Cola asked, staring at s.h.i.+ Feng with desire in his eyes.

He was like a Swordsman that had just acquired a treasured sword and was eager to test out his new weapon.

Cola had worn the best equipment in G.o.d’s Domain. Even while wielding the Epic ranked t.i.tan Guard, he could tank a Mythic monster of the same level. Now that t.i.tan Guard had been upgraded, he felt that he could face a Mythic monster head-on.

Of course, he knew that was a misconception. After all, a Mythic monster was still a Mythic monster.

Although he couldn’t face a Mythic monster in a direct confrontation, he was confident of tanking a Mythic monster by himself. Whether or not he could kill the monster would depend on his team’s DPS.

“Relax. You’ll have plenty of opportunities later,” s.h.i.+ Feng a.s.sured his guildmate, smiling.

s.h.i.+ Feng had already been roughly 50% certain that he could complete his quest in the Flame Demon’s Valley, but with the Fragmented Legendary ranked t.i.tan Guard, his success rate had risen to 80% at the minimum.

Following which, s.h.i.+ Feng had everyone switch to Fire Resistance equipment. He also allocated several All-rounded Devices, Elven Silver, and the Master ranked Fire Resistance Potion, which Silent Wonder had crafted.

His teammates were confused.

After equipping the Fire Resistance equipment, they had over 100 points in Fire Resistance. With so much, they shouldn’t have any issues raiding the current large-scale Team Dungeons with high-temperature environments, yet s.h.i.+ Feng wanted them to use Master Fire Resistance potions as well…

Just where were they going?

“We’re heading to the Flame Demon’s Valley. Before we go, I have to remind you all that once we’re in the valley, you must follow me closely. You absolutely must not get lost,” s.h.i.+ Feng said.

“The Flame Demon’s Valley? Isn’t that a Level 70-plus danger zone?” Aqua Rose, who was relatively familiar with G.o.d’s Domain’s maps, asked, shocked.

The other players gasped when they heard Aqua Rose’s question.

While they weren’t familiar with the Flame Demon’s Valley, they knew what a danger zone was.

The Black Dragon Empire had quite a few danger zones, as did Star-Moon Kingdom. However, they had never heard of a Guild successfully exploring either countries’ Level 30 to 40 danger zones. At most, some Guilds had played around in these danger zones’ outer regions, but they didn’t dare venture to the inner areas as death was almost certain upon entry.

While part of the reason was the danger zones’ extraordinarily harsh environments, the maps’ monsters were far more dangerous and extremely powerful.

Not only did the danger zones’ monsters have incredibly high Basic Attributes, but they also displayed very high combat standards. Even the weakest monster in danger zones had combat standards at the Trial Tower’s third floor. Meanwhile, as one ventured further into the zone, they’d face even stronger monsters. Near the inner regions, one would begin to encounter monsters that could reach the Trial Tower’s fifth floor. Just thinking about a group of several hundred of such monsters would make any expert player shudder with fear.

Yet, s.h.i.+ Feng had so casually mentioned that they were about to head to a Level 70-plus danger zone. If Aqua Rose hadn’t told them about the Flame Demon’s Valley, they would’ve a.s.sumed that they were going to some ordinary map based on s.h.i.+ Feng’s tone…

“Relax. I’ve already investigated the area. Once we enter, you just need to follow my lead.” Naturally, s.h.i.+ Feng knew what kind of horrors to expect in the Flame Demon’s Valley. “Danger zones are also blessed maps. They are the best places to refine your skills. Don’t you want to grow stronger?”

Hearing s.h.i.+ Feng’s explanation, everyone’s eyes glowed with excitement and antic.i.p.ation.

While they had fought in Silverwing Town’s Battle Arena, they had realized how vast G.o.d’s Domain truly was. Although many of the challengers hadn’t been famous, their combat standards had been extraordinary. They had only managed to defeat these experts thanks to their superior equipment

Now that they had learned of a place where they could train and improve their abilities, of course, they wanted to visit it.

s.h.i.+ Feng then led his team to Star-Moon City before teleporting to the Flame Dragon Empire and again to one of its border towns. In the end, s.h.i.+ Feng used the Seven Luminaries Ring’s Spatial Gate to transport everyone across the remaining distance. After several hours, the team finally arrived before a valley that radiated waves of heat.

Despite just standing at the valley’s entrance, the area was hot enough to sting their skin. They did not even dare to imagine how high the temperature would be once they entered the valley.

“Guild Leader, there seem to be some people ahead,” Minor Wind, who had used Eagle Eyes to observe their surroundings, suddenly reported as he pointed at the smoke-choked path ahead of them.

“People?” s.h.i.+ Feng was astonished.

Just getting to the Flame Demon’s Valley was a difficult task for current players, not to mention fighting in such a harsh environment.

“Amazing! They’re fighting a Level 72 Boss! And they’re overwhelming it!” Minor Wind exclaimed as he watched these players fight. “Guild Leader, some of our Guild members are among them!”

“Our Guild? How?” s.h.i.+ Feng was even more surprised to hear that his people were present.

Following which, Minor Wind sent s.h.i.+ Feng a recording.

“Why are they here?” As s.h.i.+ Feng watched the video, he discovered that there really were Zero Wing members among the group.

One of them was the Elementalist Thoughtful Rain, and the other was the Cleric Blue Bamboo. Both wore Zero Wing’s sixwinged emblem. Currently, Thoughtful Rain was Level 56, while Blue Bamboo was Level 55. In terms of levels, these two could already contend with the various superpowers’ experts.

“Guild Leader, what should we do?” Aqua Rose asked.

Normally, players would be on guard when they encountered others in the fields. After all, PKs were far from uncommon. If one were not careful, other players might even mug them. Furthermore, the unexpected party was engaged in a Boss fight. They should be even more on guard.

However, the Flame Demon’s Valley only had one entrance. They couldn’t just wait until the other party finished their raid. Moreover, they had already used their All-rounded Devices, Elven Silver, and Master Fire Resistance Potions, all of which had time limits.

“Let’s wait and watch them for now,” s.h.i.+ Feng said after giving the matter some thought.
