Chapter 297: Chapter 188: Legendary Star Spirit, Thunder Beast Mammoth Lonca_2
"You seem disappointed..."
"You’re surprised to find that the smidge of icy starlight in your hand seems to be attracted to the colossal remains in front of you."
"The gentle glow emitted by the ’Essence of Star Faith’ flows towards the ’Thunder Beast Mammoth’."
"Do you wish to dedicate the ’Essence of Star Faith’ to the remains?"
Lin Xun estimated that the ’Star Gods’ set up the labyrinth of the ’Chasing Star Corridor’ to entice heretics to convert their faith or to prevent anyone lucky enough to stumble through the maze.
They set another obstacle at the remains, so those who had not converted their faith or whose faith is not pure cannot receive divine rewards.
Those who can’t get the reward could only return to the ’Chasing Star Corridor’ to pray to the statue of the ’Bright Stars’ to enhance their devotion ...
"The ’Essence of Star Faith’ integrated into the immense remains, and starlight bloomed in the beast’s eyes."
"The time-ravaged remains took on vibrant colors, the mottled body sprouted a perfect shell, and it’s lower jaw’s four giant tusks glittered coldly..."
"The ear-splitting roar of the ’legendary Star Spirit – Thunder Beast Mammoth Lonca’ echoed through the hall..."
"The enormous eyes looked down at the tiny figure. Its voice was like a bell, alien star people! You have awoken the sleeping legendary soul!"
"Your pure faith has allowed you to pass the test of the ’Chasing Star Corridor’, your firm belief has awoken the once legendary beast!"
"Star people, what reward do you wish to receive?"
Lin Xun was ready to flee at the first sign of disaster. However, the giant beast in front of him did not recognize him as a traitor. Instead, he was allowed to collect a reward.
"... I can only say that men who love to play games are never entirely out of luck"
The colossal beast in front did not truly return to life but seemed more like a mindless undead... calling it an undead bug might be more appropriate.
Otherwise, the giant beast would have found out that Lin Xun was really a traitor.
"The ’Legendary Star Spirit – Thunder Beast Mammoth Lonca’ gives you three choices."
"1. The invincible tusks."
"2. The indestructible chitin armor."
"3. The fearless Fervent Spirit."
Lin Xun looked at the three options in front of him and fell into deep thought.
What would happen if the invincible tusk hits the indestructible shell?
He shook his head quickly, desperately trying to rid himself of this nonsensical idea.
As he had thought, he was rewarded with racial skills or talents of the clan that praised the remains after the tribute.
The first choice is strong offense, the second is a stout defense.
It’s hard to figure out the third option.
"What kind of skill is the ’fearless Fervent Spirit’... does it enhance resistance to psychic spells or activate a mindless rampage mode?"
There was no time limit for the three choices in front of him, so he could take his time to consider.
After a long period of thought, Lin Xun reached a relatively reasonable conclusion.
The majority of the Star Creatures fought in the Divine War were ’Polymath’, so the third choice should be a resistance to Knowledge-based skills, which would better suit combat needs.
In other words, the second choice enhances physical defense, and the third choice increases magic resistance.
Lin Xun immediately thought of the as-yet unconquered ’Star Dome Tower’.
Enhancing the ’Earth Giant’s’ magic resistance will undoubtedly greatly increase the tower climbing level and Knowledge, thereby improving the power of his Shell character.
But honestly, he was reluctant to give up physical defense.
With his Shell character’s damage output and magic resistance, they could switch to using a magic shield to block damage from magic-based BOSS and then release the most potent skill, ’Starlight Meteor’.
The Earth Giant should specialize in physical defense to maximize the potential of this Shell character.
One is the immediate increase in power, and the other is the potential for long-term development.
Lin Xun was torn between the two.
After pondering for a while, he had an epiphany.
His most significant advantage was not the Earth Giant or his Shell character but his own ability, Thousand Faces and Million Forms.
Even if the Earth Giant’s potential were stronger, as long as he upgraded his talent a few times, he could obtain more powerful BOSS shells by using Thousand Faces and Million Forms in later Chapters, eventually replacing the Earth Giant.
Therefore, enhancing his current strength was most important for preparing to go to the highly-difficult ’Hermit Canyon’ map!
"You spoke loudly to the giant creature in front of you, you need ’Fearless Fervent Spirit’!"
"’Thunder Beast Mammoth’ opened its mouth wide, and from it came a ear-splitting frictional sound, its voice fluctuating, it seems to be laughing."
"The giant beast tells you, after countless battles for the Stars, the ’Thunder Beast Mammoth’ clan take great pride in their unyielding chitin bone plate armor."
"No matter how sharp the enemy’s arrows and weapons are, they can’t break the ’Thunder Beast Mammoth’s’ defense."
"Star People, even so, do you still insist on your choice?"
"Do you want to stick with this option or change to another option?"
"You continue to tell the ’Thunder Beast Mammoth’ loudly that you need ’Fearless Fervent Spirit’!"
"The giant beast laughed heartily, and then praised you for making a wise choice."
"The most formidable thing in the war of the gods is not weapons and crossbows, but the spells of the so-called ’Polymath’ heretics."
"Only ’Fearless Fervent Spirit’ can resist the heretical spells, and fight on behalf of the magnificent ’Bright Stars’."
"The ’Legendary Star Spirit – Thunder Beast Mammoth Lonca’ opened its wide mouth, and a clump of blood-soaked meat fell to the ground."
