Chapter 1496: Chapter 1496: Divine Martial

Even though he already knew the weapon was formidable, Li Yao was still shocked when he saw its properties.

Li Yao couldn’t help but feel fortunate that he had killed the opponent when they couldn’t fight back. Otherwise, with this weapon, it would have been too difficult to kill them.

It also made Li Yao realize the importance of caution; he thought the Hand Cannon was powerful mainly because of the Dragon Strike Cannon’s might.

He was blasted from the sky with a single shot, even the powerful spider tank couldn’t withstand one hit, and he almost died himself, which shows the power of that one strike.

But it was during the use of this very move that he managed to kill the enemy. The strongest moment might also be the weakest one. This reminded Li Yao not to use such moves recklessly, or he might end up like the Defense Officer.

However, even without the Dragon Strike Cannon, these two weapons are definitely among the top tier, made of Dragon Bone, possibly from a Giant Dragon warrior, and enhanced with Ancient Runes. The formidable nature of the weapons could be imagined.

It’s likely that not even the final boss could offer weapons to Li Yao’s satisfaction. Acquiring the Dragon Strike Cannon here was beyond Li Yao’s expectations.

The attribute enhancements of the two Hand Cannons need no detailed explanation. The Hand Cannons use small-sized Artillery Shells, and naturally, their damage is high.

Also, being made of Dragon Bone, their attribute enhancements, though meant for a one-handed weapon, virtually match those of Dual-hand weapons.

Slightly less agile, but not by much. More importantly, each one offers a strength enhancement, which effectively gives Li Yao an additional one-third in strength.

In Dragon Father Form, Li Yao’s strength is naturally at the peak-grade of his current level; thus, enhancing it is moot. However, when he’s not in Dragon Father Form, there’s still a considerable gap between his strength and the top, making this strength enhancement the most valued attribute to him.

Li Yao now prioritizes such underlying strengths over superficial attributes. Future tasks that he will encounter, like the Star Bow and this task, demonstrate the crucial nature of soft power, although this doesn’t mean that surface attributes are unimportant, just that Li Yao’s current equipment is already luxurious enough for now.

And without reaching the max level, pursuing those superficial Attribute Equipment is pointless as his vitality rate will soon become outdated; it’s not worth investing too much effort.

Regarding the special effects of the two weapons, Li Yao quite liked them as they compensated for his deficiencies in close combat.

That’s right, close combat, not ranged.

Li Yao understands ranged as the kind of ultra-long-distance striking seen with the Star Bow or sniper rifles.

Since the Hand Cannon fires Artillery Shells, even if an Arrow shot by a Bow and Arrow travels in an arc, it cannot be the near-straight trajectory of a bullet.

The Artillery Shells are too heavy and significantly affected by gravity, forming a very noticeable parabola which might be reduced a bit by the power of the Hand Cannon, but ultimately it’s still more suited to mid-to-close range engagements.

And the form of the two Hand Cannons further confirmed Li Yao’s judgement.

The Sniper Dragon Bullet, though it sounds like a sniping skill, only covers a few hundred meters, and this Sniper Dragon Bullet is actually a special type of ammunition.

When fired, it acts like a Penetration Bullet, causing multiple stages of penetrating damage, but slightly differently.

Upon hitting the target, the spot struck by the penetrating damage also leaves behind a secondary damage, essentially acting as a blast damage.

Moreover, the base damage of the explosion is 3000 plus, and now the squishy characters have just about 3000 to 4000 health, meaning that even without considering additional bonuses, it can instantly kill most fragile characters.

With Li Yao’s attribute enhancements, he can practically instantly take out any player at the current stage. Of course, Li Yao is no stranger to instant kills; his Star Bow is equally capable of an instant kill if it hits a vital spot.

Moreover, using this penetrating damage on players is also a waste since they are too small, and the penetration is merely the damage from a regular bullet; it won’t cause a second hit.

This skill is key when facing gigantic monsters; causing multiple segments of damage is what truly makes this skill terrifying. Although we don’t know how much lower the subsequent damages are compared to the first, it’s believed they aren’t much less.

But according to Li Yao’s estimates, when facing a gigantic monster, it can absolutely cause a terrifying damage of nearly 20,000.

There isn’t much to say about Nightmare Ejection; it’s essentially Dragon Breath. It’s similar to a flamethrower that inflicts nightmare damage, and it’s probably highly effective against small-sized monsters. Plus, the 40-yard range is somewhat surprising and unexpected to Li Yao, but he guesses that he will use it infrequently, yet the functionality of this skill is undeniable.

Dragon Hammer form is basically an extension of the cannon muzzle, turning it into a Warhammer. The cannon’s muzzle isn’t completely sealed, being transformed into a gun-cannon that actually fires grenades. These artillery shells can’t be shot far and only explode within a yard of the Dragon Hammer. It’s essentially a melee combat addition, transforming it into a variant of a grenade rifle.

This is the special effect of the female Cannons; overall, Li Yao is very surprised and satisfied.

Regarding the male Cannons, Li Yao was more surprised, and it’s precisely this surprise that made him realize that these two Cannons combined are in a perfect state, whereas separately, they would be incomplete and flawed.

It’s precisely because of the features of the two Cannons that this weapon has become suitable for both long-range Hunter and melee Warrior professions.

The roar of the Green Dragon goes without saying; it’s like a Gatling sweep, same as the Sniper Dragon Bullet, and needs charging.

Grenade loading is exactly about working with another Cannon’s Dragon Hammer form – not one shot at a time, but rather six shots. One from the Dragon Hammer itself and five loaded from grenades to increase the power of the Dragon Hammer, ineffective in its normal state.

Iron Wall, in fact, also coordinates with the Dragon Hammer form, achieving both offense and defense, increasing ammunition capacity, which is quite unique.

If one wants to be more ferocious, it can be combined into a Dual-hand Dragon Hammer, and still enjoy the loading bonus. A dual-handed hammer hitting people is shocking enough, plus the blast damage from grenades – you can imagine the extent of damage.

If the opponent runs away, it can transform into the Dragon Strike Cannon form and fire its ultimate ability, Dragon Strike Cannon.

The range of the Dragon Strike Cannon is long, and its speed is fast. As long as it’s aimed properly, it’s very difficult to evade. In Li Yao’s understanding, facing monsters with extremely high health, it’s equivalent to a Warrior’s finishing move.

Of course, it can also be used in the early stages but given its very conspicuous action and slow loading, it has significant flaws and should be used cautiously, thus Li Yao defines it as a pursuit finishing move.

Don’t think that pursuit finishing moves are not important. You should know that bosses or powerful monsters become increasingly dangerous and furious as their life decreases, and it’s very easy to be counter-killed; having a finishing move is very useful.

Overall, Li Yao is very satisfied; the artisan who designed this weapon is definitely a grandmaster, with a unique touch of ingenuity.

Moreover, with Li Yao’s strength, it generally won’t affect his agility. Normally, it can indeed be carried like an arm guard, of course, if this is equipped, the Sickle cannot be hung on the waist anymore.

The System does not let players enjoy too much weapon attribute enhancement...
