Chapter 1095: Chapter 441 Omnipotent Shield Chapter 1095: Chapter 441 Omnipotent Shield “Ah?”

Wang Tao was somewhat surprised when he saw the attributes of the Dark Night Bracelet.

Compared to the Flame Bracelet and the Frost Bracelet, the Dark Night Bracelet also had an “additional attribute damage” ability, which was a Dark attribute. However, it also had an extra “Dark Attribute Attack +20”!

Could this be the difference between a Level 4 and a Level 5 bracelet? Level 4 bracelets only have additional attribute damage, while Level 5 bracelets also increase attribute attack.

If he remembered correctly, this was the first time Wang Tao had come across equipment that increased attribute attack!

Wang Tao was unsure how strong an additional 20 attribute attack was, but judging from its rarity, it should be quite impressive!

The only pity was that the attack was of Dark attribute…Wang Tao didn’t have any Dark abilities or a Dark awakening, and neither did the other team members, so they couldn’t use this thing at all!

Wang Tao looked again at the “Mysterious Shadow” and “Mental Attack Rebound” Crystal Cores in his backpack. These two items were indeed of Dark attribute, but he felt that the remaining two Hidden Attributes, “Body Strengthening” and “Plant Affinity,” were still decent, and he didn’t really want to replace them…

“Let’s put it away for now. I’ll study it in detail later…”

Theoretically, it would be most suitable for Lan Yulian to wear the bracelet, because whenever she healed someone, she could increase their attribute attack. She could enhance many people with Dark attribute. However, with an additional 20 attribute damage, it would be a waste on Lan Yulian. Moreover, Wang Tao didn’t know the counter relationships of the Dark attribute…
Not to mention Dark attribute counters, he didn’t even know how many attributes existed in total.

The known attributes first included “Physical,” where awakening could improve physical constitution or grant certain physical abilities. System Awakeners in this category were the most numerous. The current ceiling for this system was supposedly the “Giant,” a shame he had only seen it among zombies and monsters, not humans.

Secondly, there was “Poison.” In Changhe City Base, there were quite a few Poison System Awakeners, due to the Energy Crystal Meteorite which spawned Insect Clan Monsters. These monsters might drop a Poison Sac, and consuming it could sometimes grant a Poison-related hidden attribute…

Besides Physical and Poison, there was Lan Yulian’s Healing Attribute, the Ice System zombies they encountered, Dark System zombies, Jiang Shixue’s Psychic System, his own Fire System… and then there was Lu Yingfeng’s Awakening, whose “Edge Exposure” was unlike anyone else’s, causing a prickling sensation in one’s eyes on eye contact!

Wang Tao suspected Lu Yingfeng was an Awakener of the “Metal” system.

In the theory of the Five Elements, Metal represented hardness, coldness, and a sense of killing, which closely matched Lu Yingfeng’s vibe.

He could actually try to prove it, for instance, by having Wang Tao attack Lu Yingfeng to test the damage, after all, isn’t it said that Fire overcomes Metal…

Perhaps, the elements of awakening could include Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth? Together with Physical, Poison, Ice, and Dark, they formed a perfect counterbalance.

However, speaking of the Dark attribute, Wang Tao also thought, since there is “Dark,” could there be “Light”? If so, does Dark counter Light, or does Light counter Dark?

Shaking his head, Wang Tao was also unclear for now, as he had never seen it, and could only continue to explore in the future.

Upon finishing organizing the spoils of war from the Black Fog Zombie Lord, it was time for the main event–the loot from the Big Hammer Zombie Lord!

Being of the same Level 5, Lord class, but the Big Hammer Zombie was much stronger than the Black Fog Zombie. Wang Tao believed the spoils of war should also be better.

The Big Hammer Zombie Lord had dropped a total of four physical items and five Loot Packs. Compared to the Black Fog Zombie, each category had one extra item.

Wang Tao began with the physical items, the first of which was naturally its very conspicuous Big Hammer.

[Obtained: Reinforced Concrete Sledgehammer x1]
Equipment that fell from zombies didn’t show its attributes, hence only the name was mentioned.

Seeing this name, Wang Tao thought of the Big Hammer Zombie Elite; the hammer in their hands was the “Reinforced Concrete Hammer.” One was called a “Big Hammer” and the other a “Giant Hammer.” A difference of one word, but the power was worlds apart!

Wang Tao happened to have a Reinforced Concrete Hammer in his backpack, and he compared it with the Giant Hammer. Originally, the Big Hammer was already large, but placed alongside the Giant Hammer, it looked juvenile…

Wang Tao felt that this Level 5 Lord should not be called a Big Hammer Zombie anymore, but a Hammer Zombie!

The attributes of this Zombie’s Giant Hammer were not shown, but based on Wang Tao’s experience, it was definitely powerful.

However, the problem was, it was too big and heavy, utterly unsuitable as a weapon.

Take the Big Hammer for example, it could be used by those with great strength, such as Wang Tao and Xu Xiaojun. However, they could only use it occasionally and not as a daily weapon. This thing consumed too much physical strength and greatly affected their speed.

Humans are not zombies; they can’t just stand and take hits. For humans, agility and speed are very important, even more so than attack power…

As for this Giant Hammer… Wang Tao weighed it, then repeatedly shook his head.

Using this thing would greatly reduce his speed–it was completely impractical for him.

Probably only Xiang Hongbin could use it, as he could harness not just his own strength but also the power of Crystal Cores. As long as he went full throttle, swinging the Giant Hammer was possible, but energy would definitely be substantially drained, possibly even leading to overheating of his body… It was still a loss overall.
