Reign of the Hunters (200+)

Chapter 266 - 268

Chapter 266 A Hero Like Khu'tak (Part 1)

Homicide and suicide meant a whole world of difference to an NPC.

It was impossible for Ye Ci Ciss with a single blow even if her attack landed right at the NPC's heart. The NPC's suicide, however, was a very different situation. Ciss stabbed her dagger into her heart, and immediately lost her life despite the weapon's low physical damage.

Ye Ci knelt beside Ciss and placed a finger below the NPC's nose. Ciss was dead. Ye Ci sighed as she stared at her beautiful face. As expected of a face generated by the system. If such a person exists in real life, she'll be causing traffic congestions wherever she goes.

Even if she was the cause of Ciss's suicide, Ye Ci was not rewarded by the system for the NPC's death as she did not deal the killing blow.

A stream of black mist lingered on Ciss's corpse upon her death, as if it was reluctant to leave her perfect body behind. This lasted for a few seconds before the mist flew into Ye Ci's ring. The dark flames that surrounded Ye Ci had dissipated, and the ring itself retained its normal form. Despite its lack of change, Ye Ci could tell that something was different about her ring. She wanted to obtain information about the ring from an NPC, but with its status as an artifact of Naga, not many NPCs were able to provide the information Ye Ci needed. She could only wait patiently for the mystery of the ring to unravel during her journey.

Ye Ci stole a quick glance at Ciss's corpse. Despite the lack of loot drops, the NPC's staff and dagger was still clutched in her hands. Is it possible to obtain these items? Ye Ci's hand was already reaching for the items when such a thought surfaced in her mind.

Ciss did not cling onto the dagger like a miser in her death. Ye Ci was able to easily pry the dagger from the NPC's corpse. A quick glance at the dagger's status revealed that it was indeed an item worth of a level 90 boss.

Ciss's Dagger: Dagger, secondary weapon.

This is a treasured item of Ciss, the most trusted servant of Sha'jia. The dagger was forged by the Dwarven Grandmaster Smith Puck, and was embedded with the most valuable gems gathered throughout the Jiama Continent. It was bestowed upon Ciss by Sha'jia, and it was one of the few items truly treasured by Ciss.

Special trait: Increases magical damage of Dark-type spells by 10%, reduces Dark-type spells channeling time by 15%, deals additional damage to life forms with "Holy" attribute.

Special Skill: Dark Curtain

After channeling for 3 seconds, creates a Dark Curtain with a 35 yards radius. Enemies enveloped by the spell will have their vision range reduced by 50% and movement speed reduced by 30%. Duration: 30 seconds. Cooldown: 2 minutes. (Note: The skill can only be used 5 times in 1 hour.)

Ye Ci was greatly satisfied by the utility offered by the dagger. Despite its high level requirement, the weapon's potential was also great. The Dark Curtain was a skill that would be extremely potent in large scale combat that would affect enemies in a 35 yards radius while friendly combatants were rendered immune to the skill's effect. A squad of Rogues backed by a mage armed with such an ability would be able to overcome any opposition within the ability's 30-seconds duration.

The only downside to the skill's short cooldown was its limited use that was restricted to 5 times within a single hour. This meant the dagger's user must have a very good game sense and be in possession of good gaming mechanics.
