Pei Guang didn't pay attention to Acheron's state: his current focus was on the items dropped upon Acheron's death.
Acheron had died quite a few times in the game this time, over a hundred times.
And you wouldn't believe it, the Relics dropped from these hundred-plus deaths could only be described as abundant.
One hundred deaths dropped four gold Relics, thirty purple Relics, and nearly a hundred blue and white fodder pieces.
It could be said that every time Acheron died, she dropped a Relic for Pei Guang. A single Acheron not only dropped more Relics than everyone else combined, but the quality was also higher.
"Good heavens, what kind of boss are you?"
Pei Guang gasped after seeing the gold Relics.
What the hell? Was Acheron some kind of top-tier boss? How could she drop a four-piece set in one go?
Pei Guang looked at the four set pieces he had collected: "Holy smokes, the Duke Inferno's Relics? I just scraped some materials off him a couple of days ago, and now he's turned into Relics? Good lord, I'm calling it 'good lord'. If I had known, I would have found a way to kill him back then. My materials, my top-tier rewards... forget it, having this set of Relics is pretty good too."
While complaining, Pei Guang looked at the familiar attributes of the Relics.
[The Duke Inferno Set]
[2-Piece Set: Increases the damage dealt by attacks by 18%]
[4-Piece Set: When the wearer attacks, for every hit, increases damage by 6%, stacking up to 8 times, lasting for 3 seconds. Upon reaching max stacks, obtain 'Duke Inferno Ifrit', converting all attacks into Destruction Path attacks.]
[Special Message from Lord Ravager Celenova: Lord Nanook has given you five hundred years of lifespan. We will wait for you at the end of destruction.]
A whole set.
Looking at it made Pei Guang's heart race, and his body flailed about on the spot like an Abnormal Titan.
Seeing Pei Guang, who was fine just a moment ago suddenly spazzing out, Firefly opened her mouth to call him, but Welt pushed up his glasses, the lenses flashing with a strange light.
"Don't worry. If Ah Guang is showing this form, it proves he obtained the crème de la crème. I'm really curious what kind of top-tier item he got."
Welt was envious.
He wasn't envious that Pei Guang got top-tier items, but envious that at Pei Guang's age, he could unscrupulously display his emotions.
Whether in his hometown or on the Astral Express, he was labeled as a senior. Plus, there were many outsiders here, which meant he couldn't party along with Pei Guang.
It felt terrible!
Terrible as it was, seeing Pei Guang's expression, Welt still asked: "Ah Guang, what did you get?"
Pei Guang: "Don't rush me, let me put it on first!"
Hearing Welt's question, Pei Guang stopped his craziness and quickly put the set of Relics on his body.
Wearing one gold Relic didn't feel like much, but after assembling a full set, the effect changed instantly.
Everyone present saw Pei Guang's flaming crown, pristine white gloves, elegant coat, and gentlemanly shoes.
After putting on this set of equipment, the aura on his body changed instantly. Everyone could feel the raging flames on Pei Guang, flames filled with the pure aura of Destruction.
While Pei Guang was putting on the Relics, Acheron, who was preparing to use Nihility on Pei Guang, was stunned for a moment.
"So... familiar."
Looking at Pei Guang in these Relics, she thought of that man.
When she met him, that man had been tortured beyond recognition by someone.
She gave him a quick end and took what she needed. She never expected to see him again in Penacony?
No, it wasn't seeing him, but a feeling very much like him, yet even purer than him.
The aura of Destruction on Pei Guang was extremely pure, as if the power of Destruction suited him very well.
How to describe this feeling of destruction? It was like opening a soda can: it was as if everything he did was a matter of course.
At the same time, after he put on these Relics, she could clearly feel that Pei Guang's power had increased by more than fifty percent.
Without any reason, it just directly increased. Feeling it carefully again, for some reason, she felt that this power seemed to be very precise, even down to the decimal point.
At this moment, even Acheron didn't know how to comment on this power.
She had also met Duke Inferno. Although that existence was a believer in Destruction, the aura of Destruction on him wasn't even one-tenth of what was on Pei Guang with these Relics.
How did someone become like this as Relics after dying? Also, where did these Relics come from?
Various questions made Acheron forget to send Pei Guang the warmth of Nihility. Instead, she began to wonder how Pei Guang got these Relics.
For some reason, she had a familiar feeling from these Relics.
Welt and Firefly also felt the change in Pei Guang's power. Seeing this simple and crude improvement made Firefly a little envious.
"Just like that... he got stronger?"
Pei Guang: "Isn't getting stronger by wearing equipment a matter of course? Finally, I finally have equipment that can enhance my stats. I don't have to worry about getting one-shotted by strong enemies anymore. And the appearance of my equipment is finally useful too."
Along the way, Pei Guang had saved up quite a few equipment skins. Regarding the appearance of this set, the reason he didn't use many skins before was simple.
They didn't add stats or added too few.
Compared to that bit of stats, the favorability of companions and NPCs was more important.
But now it was different. Once he put on this set, he could slap on a special skin. As a player, he had to have his own unique aesthetic.
Wearing whatever dropped? How could he do that?
Let alone single-player games, even in MMOs and mobile games, as long as there's a client and the ability to mod, what the character wears is decided by the player.
At this moment, Pei Guang felt full of power. The only thing about this Relic set that made him a little unhappy was that the damage boost was too high.
The hat and gloves had fixed HP and ATK main stats, but the hell of it was that there wasn't a single HP or DEF substat?
ATK %, Flat ATK, SPD, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG.
Not a single useful substat?
What? Damage? Please, this is the real world, damage is always overflowing. Do I lack that bit of damage?
Might as well give me more HP, or at least some DEF.
How many times do I have to say it? You only deal damage if you survive.
As for the body and boots? They made Pei Guang even angrier. One added CRIT DMG and the other added ATK.
The CRIT DMG body had CRIT Rate, SPD, ATK %, and Flat DEF.
The boots had Flat ATK, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, and SPD.
What did this mean? It was hard enough to get a top-tier Relic set, and only one substat, Flat DEF, was useful?
