NOVEL NEXT Chapter 198: Enchantment Investment, Setting Out for the East Ring Sea Region
Intermediate Enchantment Ability:
[Thunderfire Poison lv1]
Effect One: When the ship's cannon attacks, after triggering Thunderfire damage, Thunderfire Poison will form. Thunderfire Poison can reduce the shield's repair effect and life recovery effect, and can continuously reduce the shield's energy level limit during the coverage period.
Reduction in Recovery Ratio: 30%
Continuous Reduction in Shield Energy Level Limit Ratio: 2%/second
Effect Two: The coefficient of Thunderfire damage can stack, and after each triggering of Thunderfire damage, the duration of Thunderfire damage is refreshed immediately, and a single purification effect can only cleanse one layer of damage. The stacking limit is 5 layers.
Effect Three: When a ship is sunk, if Thunderfire Poison remains on the ship, the poison will spread, forming a layer of Thunderfire damage.
Spread Damage: 70% of the original damage
Spread Range: 0.5 nautical miles
"Huh?"
Fang Yu initially found the effects of this intermediate enchantment ordinary.
But on further thought, he suddenly realized how abnormal these effects were.
This effect seems specially designed to counter high-level ships with thick blood or Lord-level creatures.
Damn, Wang Yuanwei wouldn't deliberately design the intermediate enchantment ability of the Thunderfire Cannon this way to enhance his ability to kill Meat Mountain, would he?
Nonetheless, to be fair, the intermediate enchantment ability did make Fang Yu's eyes shine.
Stopping the shield repairs of ships is one thing, but Fang Yu heard that after reaching Warship Level, many captains have good resource channels, often using various intermediate repair scrolls, and even advanced repair scrolls at the start.
The repair speed of this thing is much stronger than that of the primary repair scroll.
Even with sustained explosiveness, it's very likely that the output speed can't keep up with the repair speed of their shields.
In the end, it's all about whose endurance lasts longer, who has more repair scrolls.
However, this Thunderfire Poison can actually reduce the repair speed of shields. 30% may not seem like much, but once the level increases, as long as the suppression effect exceeds 50%, it becomes quite significant.
Later on, it's very likely that the opponent uses advanced repair scrolls, only to find the repair effect isn't even as fast as the speed of primary repair effects, reducing repairs. The more it progresses, facing those ships with high blood and armor, it's simply a big killer.
What delighted Fang Yu even more was the second ability.
The ability to stack Thunderfire damage layers.
It's worth knowing that one layer of Thunderfire damage has a coefficient of reaching 80% of complete cannon damage.
Once layers are stacked, stacking five layers is equivalent to the enemy taking four times the cannon attack damage every second.
Moreover, purification scrolls can only purify one layer of Thunderfire Poison, and once new layers are produced, the duration of Thunderfire Poison is refreshed.
This directly enhances the sustained output ability to an extremely abnormal level.
As long as this layer of effect is present, not even battleships count as tough in front of Fang Yu.
Given time, the shattering of the battleship shield wouldn't be a problem.
At first glance, these abilities may not seem impressive, but upon deeper reflection.
These abilities, as long as the values are increased, can continuously bring qualitative changes to ability enhancement.
And the accumulation of values is precisely Fang Yu's specialty.
Thinking of this, Fang Yu made the decision without saying anything, directly choosing to level up!
"Congratulations Captain [Fang Yu], level increased to 26, gaining 1 Lord Point."
As the sound of the panel echoed in Fang Yu's mind, the information on Fang Yu's panel changed as follows:
[Lord Level: 25 (910,000/500,000)] → [Lord Level: 26 (410,000/600,000)]
These experience points are the remaining ones after settling two tasks.
Previously, there hadn't been a chance for dice rolling, but now Fang Yu's ship had just completed intermediate enchantments, so he simply chose to level up today.
He directly elevated the level from 25 to 26.
"Dice rolling, Lord Points, double!"
Fang Yu then tossed the dice directly.
The dice rolled in the void for a moment before finally landing on... 3 points.
3 points, acceptable!
Following the usual routine, Fang Yu invested 1 point in his individual energy level.
Lord Ability Level: 26 → 27.2
The extreme value monster, gradually enhancing his individual energy level, is exactly what Fang Yu pursues.
Fang Yu glanced at the change in his energy level, feeling the surge of power within, and felt that if not counting the ship, it wouldn't be a problem to duel with a Level 40 captain.
Especially with those elite captains who, by Level 30, used intermediate Radiant Star Stones to evolve their extraordinary abilities once.
As for ordinary captains, Fang Yu didn't even consider them in his range of competitors.
Currently, with the dice rolling yielding 3 points, Fang Yu used 1 point himself, leaving 2 points remaining.
However, at Level 25, Fang Yu specifically saved 1 Lord Point for intermediate enchantments.
That's a total of 3 points.
Without hesitation, Fang Yu immediately invested all these 3 Lord Points into the newly successful intermediate enchantment.
Suddenly, the intermediate enchantment ability of the Thunderfire Cannon underwent the following changes:
[Thunderfire Poison lv1 → lv.4]
Effect One: Recovery Reduction Ratio 30% → 60%, Continuous Reduction in Shield Energy Level Ratio: 2% → 5%.
Effect Two: Layer Limit: 5 → 8.
Effect Three: Spread Damage: 70% of the original damage → 100%.
Spread Range: 0.5 nautical miles → 1.1 nautical miles.
The value monster revels, with significant enhancements in various abilities.
Especially the suppression effect of reducing recovery performance, reaching 60%, which means even if the opponent tears out an advanced repair scroll, the recovery effect would struggle to keep up with the subsequent output damage of Thunderfire Poison.
