Chapter 1286: Chapter 531 Graystone Shield-Axe_2

The shape of this weapon resembled a double-sided axe, but the axe head was especially large. Rather than calling it a double-sided axe, it was more like a shield with a blade!

The length of the Graystone Shield-Axe was estimated to be five or six meters. Visually, it appeared rather short, not quite resembling a two-handed long axe, but more like a short-handled one-handed axe. However, this wasn’t because the Graystone Shield-Axe was short, but because its axe head was too big!

The thickness of the handle alone was about the same as Jiang Shixue’s waist. Although Jiang Shixue had a slender waist, it was impossible for Wang Tao to grasp it with one hand or even two, right? His current posture for picking up the Graystone Shield-Axe involved using both arms to hug the handle.

Taking such a huge weapon into battle? How absurd was that!

Not to mention that the Graystone Shield-Axe was also very heavy. When it was first manufactured, Golden Eagle asked Wang Tao in puzzlement why it suddenly felt like they had gotten much heavier.

Although Wang Tao could lift it, taking such a big, heavy weapon into battle was not just a matter of stamina enhancement—it was practically suicide...

As for the attributes of the Graystone Shield-Axe... Wang Tao could only say one word—strong!

It added 500 to durability, which was the highest durability Wang Tao had ever seen in a single piece of equipment!

It added 200 to attack power, which was also one of the highest attack power increases Wang Tao had ever seen in equipment. The Sharp Giant Blade he was currently using added 200 attack power. Apart from that, no other weapon had an attack power over 200.

Then, there was what Wang Tao had been looking forward to—400 added to defense! Spiritual Defense Power increased by 200!

A weapon that added 400 to defense! Just this figure, when put among shields, could be considered top-notch!

Wang Tao had previously obtained a Level 5 Giant Wood Shield, which added 400 to defense. At the time, it had shocked Wang Tao as it was the equipment with the highest defense he owned. But that shield was too large, no one could use it, so it had just been sitting in Wang Tao’s inventory.

Now, the defensive power of this Graystone Shield-Axe was the same as the Giant Wood Shield. However, while the Giant Wood Shield only added defense, the Graystone Shield-Axe increased many attributes... Of course, they both shared the same problem—they were too big to use!

The Graystone Shield-Axe also increased Spiritual Defense Power, adding 200!

This was undoubtedly the equipment that increased Spiritual Defense Power the most in Wang Tao’s possession, without compare!

The equipment that was second in increasing Spiritual Defense Power only added 50... The disparity was evident.

But the problem remained the same, the shield-axe was too large to use...

As for the decrease in attack speed by 10%, that wasn’t surprising, given that the weapon was so large. Although a 10% reduction in attack speed didn’t seem much, considering its weight... from Wang Tao’s current situation, if he were to fight while holding this shield-axe, his attack speed would likely decrease several times over...

In addition to its basic attributes, the Graystone Shield-Axe also inherited the dizziness attribute from the Impact Hammer. This also proved Wang Tao’s previous guess to be correct—the attributes of the weapon used as material can be inherited by the new weapon!

If he encountered similar blueprints in the future, perhaps he could use some unused equipment as material, thus making new weapons with even better attributes.

Lastly, the Graystone Shield-Axe came with an Ability, which was quite interesting. The name was "Grey Stone Shield," differing by just one word from Tian Hua’s Awakening "Rock Shield" before the Stone God descended upon him.

However, after all, one was an Awakening and the other merely an Ability, so the actual effects were different.

[Grey Stone Shield: Consumes energy, Awakening Energy, to form a high-defense shield around oneself. The shield has 1,000,000 HP, can last up to 10 minutes, cooldown time 6 hours.]

Tian Hua’s "Rock Shield" Awakening, would enhance his physical qualities comprehensively while the shield lasted, significantly increasing his defense. As long as his shield wasn’t broken, his physical qualities remained strong, even surpassing some System Awakeners.

Wang Tao also had an "Omnipotent Shield" Ability, which was a Passive Ability that didn’t add any extra attributes. It permanently existed without manual activation as long as the shield wasn’t broken. The Omnipotent Shield could block any attack, but it had a damage limit. Once reached, the shield would break, needing Awakening Energy to reactivate.

The Grey Stone Shield Ability, similar to Wang Tao’s Omnipotent Shield, was purely a shield and didn’t add any extra attributes.

However, the defensive power of the Omnipotent Shield was related to Wang Tao himself; the stronger Wang Tao was, the stronger the shield, making it a growth-type Ability.

The Grey Stone Shield was not like that; it was a high-defense shield, seemingly not low in defensive power. Although it had no growth potential, its merits overshadowed its flaws.

Moreover, unlike the "Rock Shield" Awakening and "Omnipotent Shield" Ability, this "Grey Stone Shield" Ability had a Blood Bar!

A full 1,000,000 Blood Bar! To some extent, it was akin to having an extra life!

With its high defensive power plus a million HP bar, and the added defense from the Shield-Axe itself, this weapon’s defensive capabilities are a bit overpowered!

However, there is a drawback to this shield—it has a time limit. Once activated, the shield can only last for up to 10 minutes, and the cooldown period is 6 hours.

That means, in a battle, unless it lasts for over 6 hours, you can only use the shield once. But having a million HP is essentially like having an extra life, so being able to use it for ten minutes is already pretty good...

Overall, the attributes of this Graystone Shield-Axe are explosively good, but because of its size and weight, Wang Tao can’t use it and can only look on enviously... It’s really frustrating!

Seeing Jiang Shixue’s curious gaze, Wang Tao explained the function of the Graystone Shield-Axe to her.

"Now with this weapon, you’ve become a lot stronger, brother!"

Jiang Shixue exclaimed.

"But it’s too big, I can’t use it!"

Wang Tao shook his head helplessly.

"That’s true..." Jiang Shixue frowned at first, then asked curiously, "But when you are using the Golden Beetle Armor, you should be able to use it, right?"

"Huh?"

Hearing Jiang Shixue’s words, Wang Tao was stunned.

It seemed... indeed possible!

The Golden Beetle Armor was humanoid, large in stature, with arms and legs. Each hand had five flexible fingers... So it should be able to wield weapons!

The reason Wang Tao hadn’t thought of the Golden Beetle instantaneously was because he seldom used it in most of his battles. After all, the Golden Beetle, being a biological weapon, was ultimately an external force with no potential for growth, so Wang Tao instinctively overlooked it.

But at present, the Golden Beetle could indeed significantly enhance Wang Tao’s combat power, and even help him through life-threatening crises. Therefore, it was acceptable for Wang Tao to try and enhance its combat capabilities.

Thinking thus, Wang Tao immediately communicated with the Golden Eagle.

"Xiao Jin, I’m going to use the Golden Beetle Armor, watch closely."

"Chirp~"

Xiao Jin immediately slowed down, indicating that he was ready.

Wang Tao took out the Golden Beetle, which was still healing from its injuries and being nourished by the Crystal Core. However, Wang Tao was only conducting an experiment, so it was not a big problem.

After the Golden Beetle enlarged, Wang Tao jumped directly into its body and then took up the huge Graystone Shield-Axe.

To tell the truth, with the Golden Beetle’s height of over ten meters, wielding this five-meter-plus Shield-Axe felt quite fitting!

After swinging the Shield-Axe a few times with one hand, Wang Tao did not feel any strain, nor did it notably reduce his attack speed, as this was the inherent strength of the Golden Beetle itself.

Then, Wang Tao silently thought, ’Activate Gray Stone Shield’.

Swoosh!

A spherical gray shield instantly appeared outside the Golden Beetle. This shield not only covered the Golden Beetle itself but also enveloped Jiang Shixue and Lightning.

"It works!"

Wang Tao was instantly overjoyed.

With this attribute enhanced Graystone Shield-Axe, his combat power with the Golden Beetle Armor might just double!
