Chapter 110 A Modifier
Anything related to Joanna, he’d deal with it right away. At first, he thought people were just being haters online because they were salty she got the top score with her S-rank talent.
He never expected to find actual evidence of Lucas and his crew plotting against her in the past.
That made him furious.
“Whatever, just have Wyatt arrest them and interrogate them for now. Joanna is still in a Nightmare-tier dungeon. It’s dangerous, and we can’t distract her.”
The Joanna he called “in danger” cleared the dungeon with her eyes closed. She didn’t even see the danger.
Still, clearing the dungeon felt a bit weird, like she was winning without fully understanding how.
For other people, it wouldn’t matter. Just clear it and move on.
But with Joanna, a first clear was never that simple. If she figured out the strategy, it could be turned into resources.
At the very least, the more she contributed, the higher her Memory Skill level would climb.
Once it reached Gold-tier, her power would skyrocket.
She’d basically be about 10% ahead of everyone else.
As she kept running this Nightmare-tier dungeon, Joanna’s XP steadily went up.
The drop rates were insane-she got nine Silver-tier rings in total. Joanna, Nighthowl, and Alwyn all had rings, and they still had three left over.
Joanna kept two, planning to save one for a third contracted companion, and sell the last one.
On the tenth run.
Just when Joanna thought the guaranteed drop was only another Silver-tier ring…
A blinding golden light flashed.
“You obtained a modifier: Sight Deprivation (Gold-tier).
1/3
“Effect: Add this to any eye-related talent or skill. When you use that skill to attack, the enemy will be blinded for an extra 6 seconds.
“Note 1: A fragment of power stolen from the gaze of an unknown evil god. You can also call it the Authority of Law.
“Note 2: This is the only unique drop from the Gaze of the Unknown Evil God.”
A unique drop!
And it was a modifier.
Affixes drop even less often than skills. Just like the note said, they’re basically the Authority of Law.
With the same skill, having just one extra modifier made you stronger than everyone else.
And this modifier was perfect for Joanna.
She had used Power Siphon to copy Nighthowl’s Celestial Gaze, which is an eye-based skill.
She immediately attached this Gold-tier modifier to her own talent, Celestial Gaze. Now, when she used it, her version would blind enemies 6 seconds longer than Nighthowl’s.
This was a huge win!
Also, after the unique item dropped, the dungeon’s difficulty went down. The monsters inside would no longer steal players’ vision.
Joanna exited the dungeon and tried to go back in.
“Do you want to enter Gaze of the Unknown Evil God (Hard-tier)? This dungeon is new. Its difficulty has been reduced from Nightmare-tier to Hard-tier. It is still very challenging. Entry is free for now.”
Just like she thought-the difficulty dropped.
Joanna went in again. This time, she wanted to see what was inside the dungeon.
Inside the Gaze of the Unknown Evil God.
Joanna appeared in the plaza again.
The walking tourists turned into Human Eyeball Monsters and started attacking her.
This time, their vision wasn’t blocked.
2/3
So they quickly noticed the black light coming from far away.
Nighthowl grabbed Joanna and blinked them away, teleporting about one mile to a crossroads.
Above the intersection floated a massive black eyeball.
It was about 33 feet across, hanging nearly 400 feet in the air. Black light spread outward, covering roughly a one-mile radius, turning every human within its line of sight into monsters.
