Sun's fifty-meter-long corpse appeared in the magma, its massive figure immediately compressing the surrounding magma.
Boom!
On the surface of the calm magma sea, several surging waves of magma shot into the sky. The scorching high temperature twisted the air, forming red heat that seared everything in all directions.
"Bounty Blessing!"
Lyle stood on Sun's corpse, letting the clothes inside his full-body armor be ignited by the high temperature, and pressed his hands onto the hard, fire-red scales below, letting out a low shout.
The four Rune characters on the full-body armor emitted a colorful glow in unison.
Invisible energy surged.
Sun's entire body of red scales began to vibrate, turning into a red fluid substance that surged into the full-body armor. Perhaps because Sun's body was too massive, or perhaps because Sun's Rank was high enough!
This red flowing substance instantly wrapped around Lyle's entire body, turning into a blood-colored, half-human-sized cocoon.
With the spot where Lyle's hands made contact as the center, the hard red scales on the outer layer of Sun's body began to gradually disappear, merging into the full-body armor.
However!
The duration was not long, not even lasting half a minute.
The red scales on Sun's body that were gradually being converted stopped, and the blood cocoon wrapped around Lyle also dissipated into red steam.
Hiss—hiss. Lyle stood up, stepping on Sun's corpse, his whole body surrounded by blood-colored steam and air twisted by the high temperature.
"The absorption process stopped so quickly?"
"Is it at the limit?"
A murmuring voice sounded.
As the mist gradually dissipated, a red figure appeared on the scene.
The color of the armor on Lyle's body had changed drastically. The original grey-white armor had turned into a deep red, and even the surface of the armor had dense, scale-like textures.
red armor!
Fire-red textures!
It made Lyle look full of mysterious pressure at this moment.
"It has completely changed its appearance." Lyle raised his arm, looking at the red armor on his body that was filled with a sense of awe.
He had noticed by absorbing the mysterious scale and White Dragon Bone Armor that the color of the full-body armor would be affected by the absorbed Materials.
It was just that the colors of the previous few Materials were mainly grey and white, similar to the color of the full-body armor, so the change wasn't obvious. But now, after absorbing a part of Sun's Materials,
the entire color of the armor had completely transformed into a deep red.
Surprise aside.
Compared to the change in armor color, Lyle was more concerned about the change in values!
Skill: Rune · Physical Armament Rank: Advanced (31-40)
Durability: 287
Physical Defense: 140+259 (399)
Magic Defense: 147+252 (399)
Skill:
Shadow Assault (5/day)
Ice Attribute Resistance (20%)
Scorching Sonic Wave: Releasing a range-based "Fire + Sonic Wave" combination attack centered on the user, with a range of 100 meters (5/day)
"Empty"
Effect: Bounty Blessing Description: An unexpected product created after enhancement using "Rune Technology" and "Degraded · Physical Armament."
"The 'Physical Defense' didn't increase at all, while the 'Magic Defense' shot up to 399 points, the same as the 'Physical Defense' value."
"This looks like a situation where the 'values' have reached their limit, and the [Advanced] item Rank hasn't broken through either."
Lyle lowered his head and looked at Sun under his feet. A large area of thick red scales centered on him had already disappeared.
But compared to the massive fifty-meter body, the absorbed area was not large.
"I thought I could keep improving it, but it seems there are limitations."
"The [Advanced] item Rank, the next level is [Highest Grade], the Rank belongs to the '41-50' interval."
Lyle pondered slightly, guessing that the inability to improve further was highly likely related to his own Rank.
The upper limit of "Physical Armament" had a close connection to the user's upper limit of Rank.
"If that's the case, then the Rune ability 'Bounty Blessing' might not have the possibility of being replicated as easily as I imagined."
A sharp glint appeared in Lyle's eyes.
If the strength limit of iron armor was level ten, even if the "Bounty Blessing" ability was inscribed on the iron armor,
the maximum level that the iron armor could reach would still be level ten; it couldn't break through. This was the limitation of the material itself, just like the situation Lyle was facing right now.
Thinking of this,
Lyle felt relieved for no reason. The growth-type ability "Bounty Blessing" was simply too powerful.
This led to the first thought that came to Lyle's mind after seeing this ability: "Kill to keep it secret"!
If such technology were leaked, just thinking about it was enough to give him a headache. If it fell into the hands of people in the New World, it would be one thing, but if it fell into the hands of the Bone King, it would be adding combat power to the opponent.
This was a possibility that must be considered.
But now, there was no need to worry.
