Seizing the BOSS Template at the Start

”Regroup.”

Baiyi appeared in the Devil’s forest with the Hellhound. After his low murmur, the Storm Legion surrounding the forest came to a halt and quickly turned to leave.

Baiyi glanced at the ground, noticing the original black Hell Soil had disappeared, indicating the Devil had returned to Hell.

Baiyi still felt a bit regretful.

Zero: [The Bone Dragon has been signaled.]

As Zero’s mechanical voice appeared, a massive shadow descended from the sky.

Baiyi grabbed the Hellhound by the neck and jumped into the sky, riding the Bone Dragon towards Dongwu City.

He needed to find a quiet place to select the solidification effects for his specialty and the Extremely Evil Blade.

Returning to the City Lord’s Mansion, Baiyi first put most of the rare minerals into the Treasure Vault and then instructed Sireon to stay at the vault entrance.

”Your future duty is to guard this place. Without an order carrying my aura, no one is allowed in.”

Baiyi gave the instruction and turned to walk towards the Lake Heart Pavilion.

Sitting by the lake, the moonlight reflected off the surface, and a cool breeze blew through, providing relief to Baiyi’s battered nostrils.

He took a deep breath of fresh air and began to review his rewards, starting with the title reward.

[Name: Hell Hunter.

Attributes: Title.

Star Level: ★★★★★.

Equipping Effect: Your hands are stained with the blood of numerous Hell Creatures, giving you an innate intimidation trait against hell creatures. You deal 10% more damage to hell creatures.

Wearing Requirements: Negative Charm.

Introduction: The hunter of Hell, it seems your dark side has always been hunting.]

The effect of this title was quite good; in future battles with any hell creatures, this title could be equipped as a sort of minor passive.

[You have unlocked two selectable effects for the Extremely Evil Blade.]

[Please choose two from the following five special effects.]

[Bloodthirsty Blade: Any damage dealt by the Extremely Evil Blade carries a high bleeding effect. The enemy needs a large amount of energy to dispel this bleeding effect, which intensifies as the blade grows. Current bleeding effect: 0.1% per second.]

[Highly Poisonous Blade: The Extremely Evil Blade has absorbed a large amount of hell’s evil, and damage caused by the blade carries Hell’s Poison.]

[Armor-Piercing: The Extremely Evil Blade ignores a percentage of enemy armor and endurance. The specific amount depends on the weapon’s tier and the difference with the opponent, with a minimum of 10% armor-piercing.]

[Solid: Extremely Evil Blade Durability +100.]

[Ghost Assassin: Holding the Extremely Evil Blade allows you to enter stealth mode for three seconds. In this stealth mode, the holder’s body temporarily shifts to a ghost form, ignoring physical collision.]

Baiyi pondered over the five effects, and his dark side’s path could be glimpsed from the chosen four skills he learned.

He’s following a one-hit-kill Assassin route.

All the power is stacked on a single strike, trying to end the battle in one blow.

If one strike wasn’t enough, the Mechanical Legion from the Light Side would follow up, and under such suicide attacks, even Golden Level beings couldn’t withstand it.

Therefore, the solidification effect of Armor-Piercing was necessary.

Then exclude the Highly Poisonous Blade because Baiyi’s Alchemy Potion Making could concoct poisons more potent than Hell’s Poison, which he’d apply to the scalpel before the battle began.

Among the remaining three, choose one...

With assistance from the Light Side, solidification could also be excluded, and the Extremely Evil Blade’s current durability had already increased significantly. Continuing to stack durability was meaningless.

He had plenty of methods at his disposal and didn’t lack this bit of durability.

Now, it was a choice between Bloodthirsty Blade and Ghost Assassin.

Baiyi thought it over. Although Assassin stealth was important, Celestial Demon Flash hid in subspace. Though it was only 0.1 seconds, with Baiyi’s current agility at 580, 0.1 seconds was plenty to accomplish many things.

Moreover, he could continue learning stealth abilities in the Knowledge Hall, so there was no need to waste a solidification slot.

And bleeding still felt appealing. If all skills were stacked properly, Baiyi’s first strike would result in:

Alchemy Poison + Backstab Crit + the high Soul Damage of Extremely Evil Spirit with Malicious Invasion from Evil Thought + Bleeding Effect.

It translated to 380% mixed damage + high continuous damage.

Quite good, he could further develop this aspect.

After deciding, the attributes of the Extremely Evil Blade changed instantly.

[Name: Extremely Evil Blade.

Quality: Silver.

Equipment Durability: 80/80.

Effect 1: Sharpness: 80.

Effect 2: Armor-Piercing: The Extremely Evil Blade ignores a percentage of enemy armor and endurance. The specific amount depends on the weapon’s tier and the difference with the opponent, with a minimum of 10% armor-piercing.

Effect 3: Bloodthirsty Blade: Any damage dealt by the Extremely Evil Blade carries a high bleeding effect. The enemy needs a large amount of energy to dispel this bleeding effect, which intensifies as the blade grows. Current bleeding effect: 0.1% per second.

Growth: Absorbing blood, malice, and souls can facilitate growth.

Current Growth Rate: 7%

Equipment Requirements: Exclusive Equipment.

Growth: With each Grand Tier increase in quality, the Extremely Evil Blade can awaken a special effect.

Introduction: The exclusive weapon for Extremely Evil Creatures, it grows alongside extremely evil creatures and may become a Divine Artifact someday.

Price: Not for sale.]

Baiyi was quite satisfied with these properties at the Silver Level, planning to submerge it into the Blood Pool later. Who knows, after absorbing, it might even reach the Golden Level...

Thinking this, Baiyi looked at the selectable specialties of the Dark Side.

[You have unlocked 1 selectable specialty.]

[Please choose one from the following three specialties.]

[After selecting this specialty, it will automatically awaken in the Dark Side.]
