Chapter 349: - Ember Breath
The remaining three skills from the Mask of Scorched Fury were all offensive types. So, Broken decided to put them to the test by hunting some nearby monsters.
He quickly donned the helmet, and the moment he put it on, it was as if he was seeing the world through the flames that flickered within it. He touched the mouth and eye areas and found he could move them.
"Hi, I'm Ghost Rider," he said, testing it out.
Even his voice had changed, becoming deeper and more demonic-though not quite as echoey as the monster's had been. After putting his Obsidian Shroud back on, he strolled around for a bit. There was no denying it-he felt pretty badass wearing that helmet.
Broken opened his console to check his virtual appearance, and sure enough, he looked incredible. The combination of his black outfit and the demon-headed helmet made for a striking figure.
He wondered if he could get away with wearing it around the demon town-or was it too flashy? Would it attract unwanted attention from other demons?
So far, he hadn't seen any demons wandering the city with a fiery head like his. It definitely looked more like something out of a raid boss's arsenal. Could the monster he had slain earlier have been the raid boss that Marlene and the others were hunting?
No, that monster had been too easy to defeat. It couldn't have been a raid boss.
Broken downed a Mana Potion, feeling his energy quickly replenish. He then summoned Petal Charger, since Polly had vanished after he'd slain the demon.
As he mounted the horse, he couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. The contrast between his demonic head and the petal-covered horse just didn't quite fit. It lacked the intimidating presence he was aiming for.
What he really needed was a pet with a more fearsome, demonic look-something like Marlene's demon beast wolf. Now that would be cool.
Or better yet, if he could somehow get a skeletal, fiery horse, he could truly embrace the Ghost Rider vibe. The thought made him chuckle to himself.
[Ember Breath
Effect: The wearer exhales a 5-meter-wide cone of molten embers for 4 seconds, dealing 150% Fire Damage per second to all enemies within the area. Targets hit are ignited, taking 50% Fire Damage over 5 seconds.
Cooldown: 25 seconds
This shift was pushing him into the role of a versatile fighter, skilled in both physical and magic damage. Whether this would be a strength or a hindrance was yet to be seen, as it prevented him from focusing solely on a few key stats.
But then again, he could always weigh his options later and adjust his strategy as needed.
[Ashen Phantasm
Effect: The wearer becomes a ghostly, untargetable form for 5 seconds, increasing Movement Speed by 50%. They leave a burning ash trail that deals 100% Fire Damage per second to enemies in its path.
When the effect ends, the wearer reappears with a fiery explosion, dealing 250% Fire Damage and knocking back enemies within 5 meters.
Mana Cost: 220
Cooldown: 60 seconds
Duration: 5 seconds]
The fourth and final skill was Ashen Phantasm, and it was pretty straightforward. It transformed him into a ghostly form, making him untargetable for 5 seconds while also
boosting his movement speed by 50%.
Damn, just the first effect alone was incredible. Being untargetable for 5 seconds was no joke. Imagine triggering this during a critical moment!
This skill was insane! Paired with all the defensive abilities from the Invincible Paragon set, Broken could practically dance across the battlefield, shielded from almost everything.
But then, reality set in-untargetable didn't mean he was immune to area damage or skills that didn't require a target. Even so, Ashen Phantasm would allow him to quickly reposition himself in the chaos of battle, and the aura damage followed by an explosion at the end of the duration added an extra layer of coolness to an already impressive ability.
Alright, he was done inspecting the skills and testing them out on monsters. Each piece of equipment had its own strengths and utility, and he knew he'd need to adapt depending on the situation.
But then again, this was a Legendary-grade item. He couldn't help but wonder-if he kept killing the same demon repeatedly, could he eventually gather the full armor set? Maybe even those fiery wings the demon had used? Now that would be something. He chuckled at the
thought.
For now, it was time to meet up with Subaru and the others. He decided to store the helmet away, saving it for just the right moment.
