Fate Reignites: My Rampage in a World Where Time Stops-Chapter 157: Silver Horn Evolution! [Side Activity - ] (Extra for Alliance Leader Cheng Yushu)
The enchanting atmosphere did not last long, as Yue Li gradually came to her senses once again and turned to look at Qin Chuan, who was staring blankly at the hand that had encircled her waist. She felt a complex emotion welling up inside her.
There was shyness, yet for some reason, there was also a hint of joy hidden in that shyness.
"I will be more careful," Yue Li muttered softly, "You also need to hurry up."
"I know," Qin Chuan said, snapping out of his reverie.
He must make good use of the full hour of super luck that Yue Li had managed to secure for him.
Simply influencing the transfer of rare resources was not enough.
He had prepared nine pieces of Silver Horn's Starshine Equipment Material and the quality Equipment Forging Stone from the Achievement Store in advance, ready to attempt crafting now.
Achieving a luck crit during the crafting process was indeed difficult; so far, besides Yue Li, it seemed there were only two other cases in the entire Yanhuang Country.
One must know that many Official Level Players were stuck on rare resources, but their Starshine Equipment had been crafted early on—this was not a small base.
However, under the effect of tripled luck from Prayer, all three of Yue Li's crafting attempts were successful in achieving luck crits, so theoretically, Qin Chuan should be able to achieve the same this time as well.
For him, this was the first time.
The Starshine Level 9 Equipment that Water Flower and "Popsicle" had previously crafted would have to wait until later for him to find a way to improve.
He pressed confirm, and the hammer fell.
In the burst of light, a helmet-shaped piece of equipment appeared before Qin Chuan's eyes. Compared with Silver Horn's current Bone Armor Helmet, this helmet fully sealed the mouth and nose area, with dark patterns streaking across its surface, and instead of a single horn on top, there were two horns.
[Crafting Successful]
[This crafting triggered a luck crit, Equipment Entry level +1]
[Congratulations to Player for successfully crafting Starshine Equipment: Ghost Nightmare Skull Armor, obtaining Equipment Entry: Dark Nightmare (Starshine Level 10)]
[Dark Nightmare (Starshine Level 10): Attribute Power increased by 60%]
A fairly standard piece of Starshine Equipment, without any specialization in the entry.
But the solid strength was enough to take Silver Horn to a greatly elevated level.
Half an hour went by quickly, and right on schedule, Qin Chuan hesitated not a moment before activating the second Talent of the Sun Needle.
After identifying the location of one of the resources, he smiled.
A mere few hundred meters.
Is this the height of luck?
In under a minute, Water Flower brought back the resource, and with Qin Chuan's completion of the dual Array embedding, Silver Horn's Breakthrough officially began.
Amidst the Advanced and Evolution Arrays intertwining, dazzling light erupted around Silver Horn, and its slender body became increasingly sturdy as its strength climbed with each passing moment. When the light faded, a Spiritual Beast emerged before his companions, its body as large as a lion's.
It had a cat-like form, with black flames burning on its sharper, more robust claws, and at the tip of its tail was an osseous tail ring like a spine, where similarly, black flames surged.
The original helmet was replaced by the Ghost Nightmare Skull Armor. The fluffy ears and the cracks around the mouth and nose disappeared, transforming it from a cat into a completely new species, its dangerousness soaring drastically.
After leveling up to the max, Qin Chuan looked at Silver Horn's new panel.

[Equipment Entry: [Dark Nightmare (Starlight Level 10): Attribute Power increased by 60%]]
[Current Entry Usage/Cooldown Duration: 5 minutes/15 minutes]
[Spiritual Beast Introduction: The Dark Attribute Spiritual Beast, Night Nightmare Beast, evolved from the Shadowflame Cat, houses terrifying pure dark powers within its pale skull armor.]
Houses terrifying pure dark powers within its pale skull armor…
Reading this impressively cryptic description, Qin Chuan couldn't help but give Silver Horn, now in its new form, another look.
Then, he first opened the detailed introduction of the new trait.
[Dark Night Madman: In a dark environment, Active Skills cancel out the lead-in and follow-through animations.]
Seeing this description, Qin Chuan was taken aback for a moment. After understanding the implications, he couldn't help but inhale sharply.
An Active Skill for a Spiritual Beast needed to be actively executed, and there was a certain casting gap between executing the same skill consecutively.
This casting gap is not due to Skill Cooldown, but the time taken by the lead-in and follow-through animations of a Skill, and it varies depending on the Skill.
For example, Water Flower's Rapid Stream Break has a very short casting gap, almost allowing for consecutive use, but Xuegao's Frost Breaking Slash has a longer casting gap, making it harder to sustain continuous slashing.
Among the three Spiritual Beasts they currently had, Xuegao's Seek Frost Trace had the longest casting gap.
This Skill doesn't have a cooldown limitation, but the interval between consecutive uses is as long as two seconds.
Perhaps due to the True Damage aspect, Silver Horn's two attack Skills also have considerable lead-in and follow-through animations.
Eliminating these animations would be enough to take Silver Horn's strength to a whole new level.
Qin Chuan then looked at the transformed Skills of Silver Horn.
[Star·Dark Flame: Passive Skill, can switch to Dark Flame form at any time and gain 15% Damage Reduction.]
[Star·Shadow Erosion: Active Skill, uses a large amount of Shadow Power to corrupt the target's shadow, inflicting True Damage that ignores Defense and adding the [Armor Break] effect.]
[Armor Break: Reduces the target's Defense by 50%, lasting for 2 seconds.]
[Star·Dark Shadow Escape: Active Skill, creates a Shadow Space within the shadows, concealing presence and gaining 20% Damage Reduction while in the Shadow Space, and enables jumping between different shadows.]
[Star·Shadow Devouring Poison: Active Skill, condenses evolved Shadow Power, inflicting continuous True Damage that ignores Defense on any target it touches, and steadily reduces their Defense.]
[Star·Silent Darkness: Active Skill, temporarily creates a dark environment centered on itself and gains 20% Damage Reduction, lasting for 5 seconds.]
Qin Chuan: "!!!"
The effect of Star·Dark Flame hasn't changed much, just an additional 5% Damage Reduction.
But the four Active Skills were a big surprise.
First off, the Armor Break effect that came with Star·Shadow Erosion.
Silver Horn itself, dealing True Damage, did not need this.
But the other team members without True Damage did!
This meant that Silver Horn could indirectly increase the team's output.
Likewise, the modified Star·Shadow Devouring Poison.
Continuously lowering Defense might not seem as immediate as [Armor Break], but if the duration is long enough, it could theoretically reduce the target's Defense to zero, turning all attacks into True Damage.
The past Shadow Escape could only hide within one shadow, and there were only two ways to move to another shadow: one was if two shadows overlapped, and the other was for Silver Horn to emerge from one shadow and enter another.
Now, Star·Dark Shadow Escape significantly improved mobility by adding the ability to jump between different shadows.
What astonished Qin Chuan the most was the new Skill, Star·Silent Darkness.
It fitted perfectly with Silver Horn's brand-new trait.
