Assassin at Range: The Sniper's Lethal Power-Chapter 85 - : The Warrior Medal

The first item Tristan pulled out was the Proof of the Overlord, and he felt like this was going to be a lucky break. His backpack was full of equipment he couldn’t use, but now, this run had to change his fortune.

To make things even better, since Bonecrusher was a physical boss, the likelihood of getting magic-based gear was lower. He placed the Proof of the Overlord into his Baron’s ring and happily turned to the second item.

[Earth Dragon T-shirt: Dark Gold Grade]

Defense: +300 Health: +3000 Strength: +80 Level Requirement: 20 Special Effect 1: Buffering: Reduces physical damage taken by 20%. Special Effect 2: Dragon’s Blood: All attributes +20.

From Gold Grade onward, equipment started to have additional attributes, and Dark Gold Grade gear came with two special effects. These could be attribute boosts or even special abilities. Some Dark Gold items even came with their own skills, offering a lot of variety.

The Earth Dragon T-shirt had an excellent Buffering effect that would reduce physical damage taken by 20%, making it perfect for tanking. Despite being leather armor, it could offer comparable protection to plate armor in terms of practical damage reduction.

The second effect, Dragon’s Blood, was rare — boosting all attributes by +20, which was a significant increase. When equipped, Tristan’s health surged to 6910.

Adding the Heart of the Mountain ring’s shield and the Buffering effect, Tristan’s effective health topped 10,000 — quite impressive for an Assassin. It would make any warrior class player hang their heads in shame, considering how they had to wear heavy armor and still couldn’t match that level of resilience.

The Proof of the Overlord and Earth Dragon T-shirt had certainly put Tristan in a good mood. It was nice to finally get some physical-oriented gear after all the magic items he’d found before.

Next, he moved on to the third item.

[Bone Crusher’s War Hammer: Dark Gold Grade]

Two-Handed Weapon

Attack: +2000

Strength: +100

Level Requirement: 20

Strength > 300

Special Effect 1: Armor Break: Attacks ignore 30% of the target’s defense.

Special Effect 2: Heavy Strike: Deals an extra 15% damage if the target’s strength is lower than the user’s.

What a weapon! The attributes were already impressive, but the two effects — Armor Break and Heavy Strike — would make it even more formidable. The combination of both effects would result in incredibly high damage output. This weapon could easily carry a player all the way to level 30 or even 40!

However, Tristan couldn’t equip it. Sure, if he maxed out his Strength, he could meet the requirement, but he wasn’t looking for more damage. Besides, his Bone-Cutting Twin Daggers already gave him the mobility he needed, and unless he got a second movement skill, he didn’t need a two-handed weapon.

He sighed and decided to save it for the shop. It would surely fetch a high price, especially from players focusing on Strength-based classes. They would be eager to get their hands on it, but most wouldn’t be able to afford it.

Even though this weapon was useful, it wasn’t for him, and there was no point stressing over it. There were still three more pieces of loot.

He continued to check the next one.

[Goblin Warrior Medal: Dark Gold Grade]

Strength: +100 Constitution: +100 Level Requirement: 20 Special Effect 1: Valor: Increases damage dealt by 15%. Special Effect 2: Fearless: Reduces damage taken by 15%.

This item was excellent for both offense and defense. It boosted both damage and reduced the damage taken, making it a solid choice for most players. Tristan’s expression turned a little strange as he equipped it.

Looking at the effects, he felt that Bonecrusher’s death had been somewhat unfair. With the Earth Dragon T-shirt reducing physical damage by 20%, and the Warrior Medal reducing damage by another 15%, Bonecrusher’s defense should’ve been formidable. But when faced with Tristan’s Sniper God ability, all that defense amounted to nothing. The real damage was unaffected by defense, so Bonecrusher’s tanky nature was completely wasted.

To add to the irony, Bonecrusher had been proud of its defensive power, but in the end, it couldn’t even survive Tristan’s real damage. He couldn’t help but think that Bonecrusher’s luck had been pretty bad.

With the Warrior Medal equipped, his strength reached over 300 points, and he felt a surge of power.

Tristan then took out the Bone Crusher War Hammer again and swung it a few times. The weight wasn’t unbearable, but it didn’t feel right. His Assassin build focused on agility and finesse, not wielding massive weapons. He couldn’t help but chuckle at the thought of running around with a giant hammer. It was just too out of character for him.

"Four pieces of loot, three of them useful… not bad at all," he said with a grin.

He then moved on to the final item, which had an intriguing name.

[Goblin Warrior Bloodline Factor: Dark Gold Grade]

Effect: Grants the Goblin Warrior Bloodline upon use, increasing growth value by 2. Warning: This item will cause permanent changes to your character’s appearance. Please use with caution.

There were countless races in ExoGenesis, some strong and some weak, but the easiest way to determine strength was by looking at their bloodline. Normal Goblins had a very low bloodline strength, placing them at the bottom in the rankings. However, once they advanced to Goblin Warriors, their strength increased significantly, placing them in the middle of the rankings.

Players could absorb these bloodline factors to gain the corresponding strength, but it came at a cost — their appearance would change, and the more bloodlines they absorbed, the more their body would resemble the race they were drawing power from.

Tristan had encountered a Vampire Baron back in the starting village, whose quest had provided bloodline factors to boost his abilities.

While every player aimed to gain stronger bloodlines to boost their combat power, Tristan didn’t want to turn into a Goblin. The transformation didn’t seem appealing, especially when there were higher-tier bloodlines out there, such as those of dragons or legendary races.

The Goblin Warrior bloodline factor was something he’d leave for someone else to use. He wasn’t interested in looking like a Goblin, no matter the combat benefits.
