——————

This was the characteristic panel for Gold-level monsters like the Harpy.

Because monsters like the harpies had very annoying mental control skills, McRae had a deep impression of them.

Just as the characteristic panel showed, the harpies had a very core racial skill, which was their Screaming Skill.

During the battle with the enemy, one could let out an unpleasant scream, like the wails of a vengeful spirit, with extremely strong penetrative power.

This scream could not only cause damage to the enemy, but also cause a certain fear-type control effect.

It was very possible that he would faint on the spot, or have nightmares at night, or even suffer from mental disorders.

It had to be said…

It was a powerful core skill of this monster.

After all, think about it. The players were completely focused during the battle. When the battle was at its peak, the Harpy suddenly screamed at the player and cast all the effects on them. What kind of impact would that cause?

It was possible that during that time, the players would reveal an opening and be directly killed, or they would be thrown into chaos. It would delay the healing from the backline, which would lead to the front row tank being wiped out by the concentrated fire, and then the battle would instantly collapse.

None of this was completely impossible.

So…

Sometimes, mental control skills were very abnormal, especially such a sound wave attack method. It was even harder to guard against.

Furthermore, in the Divine Domain world, there were many monsters who had such mental control skills.

Apart from this Harpy's Fear Control skill, there were also other monsters' Stun, Taunt, Charm, and so on. They were all Spirit Control-type skills.

These skills could cause a certain amount of control effect on players. Even if the time wasn't very long, in battles that shifted rapidly, it was still a very fatal thing.

Even McRae had to admit that if he encountered a monster with a mental control type skill, he would similarly have to treat it with extreme focus.

Of course, with McRae's personality, even if he wasn't facing a monster with a mental control type skill but ordinary monsters instead, he would still maintain a 100% mental focus.

This was McRae's combat habit. Although it consumed a lot of mental strength, it had to be said that maintaining such a focused habit was definitely a very important thing.

Now, McRae was able to obtain Gold-grade equipment with a very good effect like the [Fire Helmet]. Not only could it provide a certain defensive effect, but there was also the second special effect, Fire Radiance, which could allow players who equipped this helmet to obtain the protection of Fire Radiance.

It could ensure a clear state of mind to the maximum. When encountering enemy mental control skills, the duration of the control would be fixed to 50%.

Reduce the duration of control by 50%. What kind of concept was that?

The original ten seconds of mental control effect was reduced to five seconds.

The mental control effect that was originally two seconds shortened to one second.

The originally one second mental control effect was reduced to half a second.

One must not underestimate these seconds. In a real high-level battle, even if it was just an instant, the situation might instantly reverse.

In short,

The second special effect that [Fire Helmet] had, which reduced the effect of Spirit Control, definitely satisfied McRae.

And this wasn't the end. Apart from the first damage reduction equipment effect and the second equipment effect that reduced the effect of control, the Gold Quality Fire Helmet also had a third equipment effect!

Fire Shield!

[Special Effect 3]: Fire Shield: When players wearing this helmet receive high damage to their heads, they will immediately activate the solid Fire Shield to block this fatal attack for the wearer. The Fire Shield is incomparably strong, and very few attacks can break it. It can be said to provide an extremely solid layer of protection for the player's head. However, the Fire Shield requires sufficient energy to charge. When the Fire Shield is activated and blocks the fatal damage of the enemy, it will require 24 hours to charge before it can be reestablished.

Powerful! A very powerful defensive effect!

"If the first two equipment effects of the Fire Helmet can be described as satisfactory, then the third equipment effect of the Fire Shield can only be described as strong."

At this moment, even McRae couldn't help but sigh after seeing the equipment effect of the third Fire Shield.

Block a fatal attack for the player's head?

What concept was that? To a player's body, the head was one of the most fragile parts.

As long as an enemy had a certain level of intelligence, during the battle, they would definitely aim at the player's head and deal a precise blow to cause high damage. At this moment, the protection of the head appeared to be critical.

The third equipment effect of the Fire Helmet, the Fire Shield, provided such an extremely strong defense.

​ In the system's description, the word fatal was mentioned. It was enough to highlight the strength of this Fire Shield. It was not an exaggeration to say that it directly provided a second life!

He had picked up a treasure. He had definitely picked up a treasure.

McRae couldn't help but sigh.

And just as he was sighing in his heart, suddenly, a crisp system prompt sounded in his ears.

"Ding-Dong! Rare and precious Gold-grade equipment detected—[Fire Helmet]. Do you want to equip it immediately?"
