Chapter 887: Equipment Showcase
Chapter 887: Equipment Showcase
While Chancellor Cao was engrossed in conversation with the White-Headed Eagle Emperor, the battle between Dacni and her opponent had already reached a fever pitch by the time they turned their attention to it.
Dacni's opponent was a male White-Headed Eagle named Sanglante.
Sanglante was much larger and significantly stronger than Dacni, serving as the most loyal guard to the White-Headed Eagle Emperor.
He was also equipped with a set of armor, crafted by the Skrull people. The materials used in his armor were of high quality, but due to its age, most of the additional attributes had long since faded, leaving only basic protective functions.
Dacni, on the other hand, was different.
She wasn't wearing the special blue armor that the Blue Star people had crafted specifically for her. That armor, being a "special edition," had most of its components enhanced, making it an exceptional piece of work that didn't represent the average level of craftsmanship on Blue Star.
For the test, she was wearing a set of sixth-tier blue armor, which was among the most basic in the batch she had brought back.
Even so, this basic set was far superior to the worn-out armor Sanglante was wearing, which was barely functional.
...
The battle began, and Dacni immediately unleashed her full strength.
She had great faith in the equipment crafted by the Blue Star people. To prove that her efforts over the past month hadn't been in vain, she activated most of the skills on her equipment right from the start, using her strongest techniques to attack Sanglante.
Sanglante was caught off guard initially and was taken by surprise by Dacni's attack.
However, he was also amazed by the strength Dacni displayed.
Dacni was wearing a set of magical equipment. After activating the burst skills on her gear, a relentless barrage of wind-elemental spirit energy spells rained down on Sanglante.
Sanglante struggled to dodge the relentless attacks.
Despite his efforts, the density of Dacni's spirit energy spells was too high, and he was cut by several spells during his evasions.
Sanglante attempted to counterattack by circling around, but the continuous and dense stream of spirit energy spells made it impossible for him to get close to Dacni. His attempts only resulted in more wounds and a worsening condition.
...
Seeing this, the White-Headed Eagle Emperor became extremely interested in the Blue Star equipment.
As the Eagle Emperor, it was well aware of the strengths of both Dacni and Sanglante.
Dacni, being primarily a "civil servant" focused on trade, usually handled clan affairs and neglected her training. Although she had ascended to the sixth tier at a young age, her actual combat ability was lacking.
Sanglante, as the White-Headed Eagle Emperor's guard, had a primary mission to protect the Emperor's offspring.
Whenever the Emperor's young ones went out to train, Sanglante would always accompany them, stepping in to protect them from dangerous enemies. He had survived over a dozen life-or-death battles and even managed to fend off a passing young dragon once, showcasing his extraordinary combat prowess.
Sanglante's strength far exceeded Dacni's. Despite both being in the lower tier of the sixth rank, if neither wore any equipment, a battle between them would be a one-sided victory for Sanglante.
But the situation had completely reversed.
Sanglante was exhausted from the relentless barrage of spirit energy spells, while Dacni remained in excellent condition, her spirit energy replenishing continuously thanks to her equipment.
Given the current situation, Sanglante was certain to lose.
...
Feeling the gaze of the Eagle Emperor and the strong humans from Blue Star, Sanglante felt humiliated.
Just because of a set of equipment, he couldn't even handle Dacni?
"Dokni!" After dodging a wave of psychic spells, Sangulante roared in frustration, "What's the point of this long-range harassment? Are you afraid to fight me up close?"
Sangulante was clearly losing his temper.
Why would a psychic spellcaster like a White-Headed Eagle want to engage in close combat with a physical attacker like him? It’s not like they were mating.
Dokni instinctively wanted to refuse.
But then she remembered something—her specialized equipment seemed to have an additional skill attached to it.
"Fine, as you wish!"
Dokni spread her wings, and the equipment she was wearing started to fall off, dropping to the ground of the hidden realm. At the same time, a brand-new set of sky-blue equipment emerged from within her body, covering her completely. This was her specialized equipment!
Seeing this, the White-Headed Eagle King was as shocked as the dragons of Dragon Island. What was going on? Equipment could actually emerge from inside the body? This was some kind of divine ability!
Noticing the White-Headed Eagle King's surprise, Chancellor Cao explained the "Refinement Technique" to him. Unlike Zhongfeng, Cao could even demonstrate it in real life.
Watching the flying sword freely entering and exiting Cao’s body, the White-Headed Eagle King’s eyes were filled with envy. This "Refinement Technique" was truly practical! If equipment could be stored inside the body, it would be a significant enhancement even for their White-Headed Eagle clan. They wouldn’t have to wear light leather armor just for convenience. Physical specialists among the White-Headed Eagles could wear heavier armor and summon it only when needed. Storing equipment inside the body would make it extremely portable and flexible!
...
The White-Headed Eagle King was still excited when a significant change occurred in the center of the battlefield.
After equipping her specialized gear, Dokni stopped casting psychic spells and shot toward Sangulante like an arrow.
Sangulante was also stunned by the equipment that had emerged on Dokni's body, but he quickly adjusted his state to the best possible condition, ready to face her with all his might.
Dokni wasn’t in a hurry.
When she was just 20 meters away from Sangulante, she decisively activated the skill on her equipment—[Deflection Field].
[Deflection Field] was a divine skill. Its effect was to deflect all physical damage, including close-range physical attacks!
The only drawback was that [Deflection Field] lasted for a very short time, only two seconds before disappearing.
Dokni’s specialized equipment had this skill to deflect ranged physical attacks like arrows, essentially providing a brief period of invincibility.
But now, she was using it in close combat.
As Dokni charged at him, Sangulante felt a sudden force pulling his body to the side, causing his well-prepared attack to miss entirely.
Meanwhile, Dokni’s sharp talons had already clawed into his back armor.
Pfft!
Blood spurted out.
A large gash appeared on Sangulante’s back, and blood gushed out like a fountain. He was also thrown several dozen meters away, crashing heavily into the ground of the hidden realm.
In a single encounter, the battle was decided!
Sangulante, a physical specialist White-Headed Eagle, had been defeated in close combat by Dokni, a psychic spellcaster.
This battle was won not just by Dokni, but by the equipment she wore!
