MTLNOVEL Chapter 101: Chapter 101: The Time Has Not Come
[🎉 Shoutout to Nathan, Darjaviou & Victor for joining patreon. Thank you very much.🤗]
Seeing the words "hidden weapon," Jiang Kai's heart skipped a beat.
He knew that his class skill, Ghost Hand Flying Cards, mainly boosted the effectiveness of throwing cards.
When throwing regular objects, Ghost Hand increased accuracy by 40% and penetration by 30%.
But when using card-type items, the effects skyrocketed—accuracy increased by 120%, and penetration increased by 250%.
The difference was several times over.
Jiang Kai hurriedly checked the specific attributes of the King of Hell's Decree.
[Lord God Card, Gambler's Exclusive "Unique Grade" Weapon, No Class Rank Requirement, Full Set of Nine Cards, King of Hell's Decree is One of Them. Can be Withdrawn Once the Class Reaches Transcendent Rank 5 or Eerie Rank 5.]
[King of Hell's Decree: Increases the user's four basic attributes by 20%. Penetration: 50. Permanently increases critical hit rate by 15% and critical damage by 150%.]
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Special Effect 1: "The Time Has Not Come"]
This effect requires active use.
When activated, a single throw of King of Hell's Decree will automatically attack the target up to 50 times.
Using "The Time Has Not Come" consumes a large amount of mental power.
During this process, the target suffers 50% extra damage and cannot die.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Special Effect 2: "Wrath of the Lord God"]
Active use.
King of Hell's Decree spins rapidly around its tip, delivering a concentrated, continuous attack.
If the target fails to escape, King of Hell's Decree's penetration will keep increasing.
Wrath of the Lord God consumes additional stamina and mental power.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Special Effect 3: "Recognized Master Artifact"]
King of Hell's Decree cannot be damaged.
Once obtained, it can be controlled via thought—summoned, thrown, and recalled at will.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Lord God Card Set Effect 1]
For each additional Lord God Card collected, all Lord God Cards held will receive:
+10% to base attributes.
+50% to weapon penetration.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Lord God Card Set Effect 2: Devour and Transform]
Can devour other hidden weapon-type weapons.
Inherits all attributes and special effects of non-artifact grade hidden weapons.
Devouring does not affect the original attributes of the Lord God Cards.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Gambler's Exclusive Special Effect (Not Activated)]
Seeing this, Jiang Kai's heart pounded wildly.
There had never been any mention of a "Unique Grade" before.
From the name alone, it was easy to guess—this Lord God Card Set likely only existed as a single set in all of Ghost Star.
But what confused Jiang Kai was the description.
He had only heard that after reaching Class Rank 4, one could advance to Transcendent Rank 5, officially stepping into the Transcendent profession stage.
But he had never heard of "Eerie Rank 5."
From the description, it seemed that "Eerie" was a ranking similar to "Transcendent," but different.
As for King of Hell's Decree's attributes, they scaled by percentage.
That meant the higher his attributes, the more King of Hell's Decree would boost them.
That was completely unheard of.
And with the Lord God Card Set Effect 1, every additional card granted +10% to base attributes.
If he collected all nine cards, then a single card would boost his base attributes by 100%.
Nine cards—that's 900%.
"Holy sh*t…" Jiang Kai's eyes widened. "What kind of weapon is this?"
The effects of King of Hell's Decree were also terrifying.
"The Time Has Not Come" increased the target's damage taken, meaning anyone attacking the target would deal 50% extra damage.
"The time has not come, therefore... you cannot die."
Jiang Kai repeated the description, feeling that it was unreasonably overpowered.
People often said, "I want you dead."
But King of Hell's Decree's effect was—"If I don't let you die, you simply won't die."
And while King of Hell's Decree only had 50 penetration, with the Lord God Card Set Effect 1, each card increased penetration by 50%.
Not to mention the second effect, Wrath of the Lord God, which provided continuous attacks that kept increasing penetration.
This thing was absolutely unstoppable.
Jiang Kai had never expected that, while searching for his Gambler's second advancement material, he would stumble upon the Gambler's exclusive "Unique Grade" weapon—the Lord God Card.
"Jiang Kai, what's wrong? Got scared by the Corpse King Jade Token?" Yuan Zhu suddenly clapped him on the shoulder, nearly scaring him to death.
"What Corpse King Jade Token?" Jiang Kai asked, still dazed.
He was scared, but not by Yuan Zhu, and definitely not by some Corpse King Jade Token.
It was King of Hell's Decree that scared him.
But since it was just a card, no one else paid attention to it.
Everyone else was focused on the visibly valuable and rarer treasures.
"You weren't listening? The Corpse King Token—a Rank 4 treasure—grants immunity to corpse poison and control over corpse poison. It's something every Poison Master dreams of owning." Yuan Zhu grinned smugly.
"Heh, I know you don't care about that, so listen to this—that thing is worth 3.8 million Star Coins, which is 38 million Alliance Credits."
"Oh. Cool." Jiang Kai was still in shock.
"Hey, what's with you? You're not excited at all! What, just because you got that "Butcher" weapon earlier, now you don't care about the Corpse King Token?" Yuan Zhu noticed something was off.
But Nuannuan was the first to notice the trembling card in Jiang Kai's hand.
"That's weird," she said. "The chest contained physical items, so why is there a card inside? Jiang Kai, what's that in your hand?"
Jiang Kai was just about to answer when—
Rustling sounds came from the forest.
"Someone's coming!" Hu Yan whispered.
The treasure chest's contents were already looted.
Although there were no advancement materials or skill books, one King of Hell's Decree alone was enough for Jiang Kai to feel like he hit the jackpot.
Maybe Hu Yan was right—"Great danger brings great fortune."
"We're all in bad shape," Hu Yan said cautiously. "And this place is isolated. If someone finds out we killed the Mutant Ghoul King, they might try to rob us."
"If we run into Black Tortoise's people again, it'll be even worse!"
Ruan Yu was already packing up.
"Captain Kai, stop zoning out! Let's go!"
The Fire God Squad quickly left.
They didn't have time to clean up the scene.
They headed west—toward King's Valley.
The hunters were still looking for the Mutant Ghoul King, so chasing the squad back to King's Valley was unlikely.
Given the squad's worn-out state, Jiang Kai called off the hunt and led them back to the safe zone.
When they returned to the Fire God Camp, Jiang Kai gathered everyone in the tent.
The time had not yet come.
