Doomsday Online: Supreme Blessing

Chapter 158: High-Quality Replica! Hanged Man!



Chapter 158: High-Quality Replica! Hanged Man!

In the laboratory, Link removed the [Mask of the Faceless] from his face and put it in his personal backpack.

The personal backpack was a portable space bound to everyone that was used to store items since [Doomsday Online] began.

Some equipment had specific requirements and had to be carried with them in order for it to be effective. If it was kept in the system space, it wouldn’t be effective.

And even though one’s equipment was kept in their personal backpack, it would open up after one was killed.

One example was the card of rule that Jiang Cheng previously used. Whether it was put in the backpack or with him, it would become Link’s loot when Jiang Cheng died.

Yuna waved her staff gently, and all of Jiang Cheng’s equipment and items automatically floated and suspended in front of Link.

These items were a black inner armor, a scalpel that emitted silver light, a small ball that emitted an inexplicable aura, and a card with strange runes drawn on it.

As Link gazed at the items, pieces of information immediately entered his mind.

[Silver Silk Soft Armor] Grade: Gold...

[Bloodthirsty Scalpel] Grade: Diamond...

Link was not interested in the armor or the scalpel. However, the scalpel was Diamond-grade, and its attributes weren’t bad. It could be given to Qiao Ruowei, who had an Assassin profession, after it was blessed.

The small ball that emitted an inexplicable aura was an item that Jiang Cheng didn’t get to use.

[Tainted Eye] (Chaotic equipment)

Grade: Diamond

Introduction: An aberrated eye sealed in a cursed ball. After completing a special ritual, an evil eye will be conjured——It is always watching you and never leaves.

Additional skill 1: [Tainted Eye] (Active Skill): The user can conjure an eye with powerful aberration and pollution. It causes mental impact to enemies, and it has a 50% chance of causing forced stiffness and blinding effects.

Cooldown Time: 12 hours

Additional skill 2: [Tainted Inducer] (Passive Skill): The user can pay the price of being aberrated to heal some of their wounds and restore 30% of their Health Points, as well as gain a layer of tainted armor.

Cooldown Time: 6 hours

...

If Jiang Cheng had a chance to use this [Tainted Eye], it would’ve been even tougher. But now, it belonged to Link.

The last item was the card of rule that Link was more interested in.

This was a card that emitted a faint glow. On its back was the mysterious and starry night sky. A bright star shone in the dark sky.

On its front was a man hanging upside down from a tree, surrounded by strange runes. The runes seemed to contain magic and were rumored to be the source of magic.

This was a card showing a [Hanged Man], symbolizing sacrifice and looking at the world from a different perspective.

Considering the characteristics of the ability used by Jiang Cheng, Link had speculated about the card he possessed. [Inverted Hangman] was within his expectations.

A notification entered Link’s mind.

[A Fine Replica?Hanged Man]

Grade: Diamond

Introduction: [Card of Rule?Hanged Man] is a fine replica. It possesses a strange ability to involve rules in some way——You tried your best, but you’re not sincere enough.

Additional skill 1: [Hanged Man?Orthodox] (Active Skill): Self-sacrifice will be rewarded. The user completes the ritual with the help of a medium (the target’s hair, blood, etc.). They can then transfer the damage he or she has suffered to the target.

Number of uses: 2/4

...

It was a replica of the Hanged Man card, not one of the 22 [True Tarot] cards.

Link was slightly disappointed, but he understood that the 22 cards of rule were extremely precious and mysterious. It was already impressive for Jiang Cheng to own a replica.

In fact, Link had seen several card of rule replicas in his previous life.

Because of the cards of rules’ powerful abilities, many Craftsmen and Mages coveted them. Hence, many imitations had appeared everywhere.

The tarot cards replicated by these [Doomsday Online] players simply weren’t up to par for various reasons, and the vast majority of them had no special abilities or value.

Replicas with strange partial abilities were extremely rare. Such highly-coveted cards were rumored to be remnants of previous eras.

And [Hanged Man]’s ability was unquestionably powerful in battles!

Without hesitation, Link cast [Supreme Blessing] on the card!

Suddenly, a misty light converged and enveloped the card.

After a while, the light gradually dissipated, but a faint power of rule permeated.

Obscure and strange syllables seemed to be ringing in Link’s ears.

Link picked up the card again and discovered that the patterns and runes on it had become more complicated, more obscure, and even more mysterious.

[Pseudo?Hanged Man]

Grade: Legend

Introduction: [Card of Rule?Hanged Man]’s replica. Superb skills have made it look like the real deal. It contains the strange ability of [True Tarot] cards that involve rules——Produced by Putian, definitely the best.

Additional skill 1: [Hanged Man?Orthodox] (Active Skill): Self-sacrifice will be rewarded. The user completes the ritual with the help of a medium (the target’s hair, blood, etc.). They can then transfer the damage he or she has suffered to the target.

Note: Each usage consumes mental strength and physical strength. Consumption will increase if continuously used within 24 hours.

Additional skill 2: [Hanged Man?Inverted] (Passive Skill): Unnecessary sacrifice, inexplicable binding. After entering a near-death state, the card holder will get a chance to make a special judgment.

If the judgment is successful, he or she will recover to full status and gain 5 to 30 seconds of invincibility.

If the judgement fails, only 50% Health Points are restored.

Anyone who is hostile to the card holder will be inexplicably bound, resulting in a decline in status, 15% reduction in damage, and a chance of being affected by negative status effects such as stiffness and binding.

Note: This item has the trait—[Entanglement of Fate]. This trait will allow the item to have a certain connection with [Card of Rule?Hanged Man].

...

Pu pu!

It was like a bicycle had turned into a motorcycle!

After seeing this attribute, even Link couldn’t help but feel the fire in his heart.

The card—which was only a fine imitation—became [Pseudo?Hanged Man] all of a sudden.

Not only was an extremely useful and powerful passive skill added, but the restriction—it could only be used two more times—was removed.

The most important thing was that it possessed a trait, which allowed the item to have a certain connection with [Card of Rule?Hanged Man]! This meant that, as long as Link had this card, there was a high chance that he would be able to find the real [Card of Rule?Hanged Man]!

Within a certain range, it could even sense the other cards of rule!

It was important to know that the real cards of rule were unique items, and there were only 22 of them. They also contained a great secret—a way to become a god!

These cards were treasures that countless people dreamed of owning. And Link now had part of the key to this huge treasure!

If news got out, it would be enough to cause the whole world to shake and go crazy again!

Link put away [Pseudo?Hanged Man] and waited for the three-minute cooldown to end. He then blessed [Tainted Eye], a piece of chaotic equipment...
