Chapter 451: The Second Prince Rogalli

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It took them about two hours to find themselves standing before the third boss in the Treasure Cove.

However, the boss on this floor was not alone. He had 11 underlings around him!

[The Second Prince Rogalli] (Violet-Platinum, Spectre)

Level: 100

HP: 10,000,000

Defense: 2,900

[Royal Guard] (Elite, Spectre)

Level: 95

HP: 3,000,000

Defense: 2,000

Rogalli did not have a full set of armor on him, like the 2 bosses that Zhang Yang and his party had previously encountered. Instead, this boss wore a grand, magic robe, embroidered with magical runes in gold thread. Instead of looking like a prince, this boss looked more like a priest from some sort of cult!

Right beside him were his Royal Guards, equipped with full sets of heavy armor. They seemed to be guarding the prince with everything they have.

The five of them stood in stunned silence. It was common for many players to bully one boss in a boss battle. But this time around, the situation is different. Currently, the boss had many powerful underlings with him, 12 to be exact! Furthermore, these underlings were all very powerful and tough! Although these underlings were labeled as elite grade monsters, all of them were as strong as Yellow-Gold bosses! They would be battling one Violet-Platinum boss and 11 Yellow-Gold bosses at the same time! How was it possible?

If Endless Starlight was there with them, then Zhang Yang could let him go ahead and tank the bosses as he handles the remaining monsters. At his current strength, he could actually handle 11 bosses at the same time, 'manipulating' them with Status Restriction skills, without much trouble, at that -- of course, the monsters had to be vulnerable to Status Restriction skills. Or else, the combined attack of all 11 Yellow-Gold bosses would wipe out anything and anyone in no time! As the system limited entry to only 5 players at a time, Endless Starlight would not be able to join them.

Even if Endless Starlight were to come here, Han Ying Xue could not possibly keep both their rapidly leaking HP bars up at the same time! So, if they were to bring Endless Starlight into Zhang Yang's party, then they would have to swap out another DPS player for a second healer. After that, there would only be one DPS player left in the party. It would take forever to kill these elite monsters, with only one DPS player in the party! Furthermore, two healers would have not enough mana points to heal up two tankers over such a long period of time, even if they had three bars of mana with them!

"So, what do we do now?" the four ladies turned their sights over to Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang gave it some thoughts, and said, "Witchy Snow, Little girl, and Daffodil Daydream, you guys, take a few steps back. I will stand right here. Ice Queen will go and lure the monsters! Now, the aggro of these monsters should be linked together. So, Ice Queen, when you go engage with the monsters, all the other monsters will come after you as well. But, these monsters will be coming at you in a predictable order. So, let's do it this way. Kite the monsters over to me, and ensure that only one of the monsters 'sees' me. Then, you can activate your {Vanish} to disengage yourself from the aggro of the monsters. That way, the monster would switch it's aggro onto me instead, and the remaining monsters will run back to their initial positions!"

This is the 'Aggro Swapping' tactic, very practical and effective against multiple underlings of bosses. It was a commonly seen tactic in the Realm of Chaos.

Sun Xin Yu would never react dramatically or use beautiful words, she merely nodded.

Zhang Yang then said, "If Ice Queen succeeds in separating one monster from the rest, then you guys should just do your best! But, if there are too many monsters coming your way, along with the boss, then Ice Queen shall remain in her 'stealth' mode. I shall use my {Shadow of the Void} to stay out of harm's way. The three of you, stay as far away as possible for the moment. Just remember, don't engage with the boss and die for nothing!"

"Understood!" the three ladies started backing off.

"Time to move!" Zhang Yang nodded at Sun Xin Yu, then he whispered to her, "Be careful."

Sun Xin Yu's pretty face flashed a rare moment of joy. She turned around, displaying the graceful view of her back, as she charged to the direction of the boss.

"Protect the prince!"

The aggro range of these Royal Guards spread far and wide, even when Sun Xin Yu was still 20 meters, one of the Royal Guards had already detected her presence and had started roaring thunderously. The Royal Guard immediately raised a metallic boot and started charging towards Sun Xin Yu, his sword flying out of its scabbard.

Upon moving, the 10 remaining monsters, including the boss, started acting up, following the first monster closely.

"The dignity of the royal family must not be tarnished! All intruders shall be eliminated! We shall have it no other way!" Rogalli let out a thunderous voice and raised up an aquamarine staff high into the air, "Warriors! Push forth and crush them!"

"Yes, your highness!"

Streams of dark lights shot out of the staff, and the 11 monsters were engulfed by the dark light. Then, they started bloating up exponentially!

[Crushing Vow: Immune to all Status Restriction skills, increases damage by 50%, reduces 20% damage received, lasts for 10 minutes!

"What the f*ck!" Zhang Yang could not help but curse out loud! Then he said, "Ice Queen! Don't lure two monsters at a time! These monsters are immune to all sorts of Status Restriction skills! I only have confidence in tanking two of them at most!"

An increment of 50% additional damage on a Yellow-Gold boss would make it as powerful as a Violet-Platinum boss of the same level! Zhang Yang's confidence in doing so showed his power, to be able to tank against two of these monsters at the same time! Zhang Yang had to be the only one in the entire China server who was capable of doing this!

"I'll try my best!" Sun Xin Yu shouted out in the party channel. Just as she got close to Zhang Yang, she activated her {Vanish} as instructed by Zhang Yang, and disappeared.

Groom! Groom! Groom! As the monsters trundled across the ground with their heavy feet, none of the 12 turned back! All of them charged at Zhang Yang as they roared!

What the hell!

Zhang Yang quickly activated his {Shadow of the Void} and fled the battle!

After the battle had ended, Rogalli immediately led his 11 underlings back to their initial positions and took their default stances again.

Zhang Yang and Sun Xin Yu then reappeared and regrouped with the three ladies. The skills - {Shadow of the Void} and {Vanish} have very long cool down period, so they could only wait for the skills to cool down before giving it another try.

Sun Xin Yu could not be faulted, as this was just the first try. Sun Xin Yu needed time to slowly get familiar with the aggro sensitivity of the monsters.

10 minutes later, Zhang Yang and Sun Xin Yu went up for a second attempt, producing more promising results. 'Only' seven monsters continued to go after Sun Xin Yu, but it was still a failure.

20 minutes later, the two of them began their third attempt at luring the monsters. There was a slight improvement as well on their third attempt! This time, only 3 monsters followed Sun Xin Yu!

Zhang Yang nodded and he could not help but feel impressed, she is really good! With just three attempts and she had already gotten the hang of it!

After half an hour, Sun Xin Yu went on for the fourth attempt. With her {Vanish} activated at the last moment, 11 monsters turned back and returned to their initial position, except for one. That one monster was roaring in rage, as it charged towards Zhang Yang.

It was a successful Aggro Swap!

Zhang Yang quickly flung the {Spear of Obliteration} straight at the monster and inflicted it with a damage value of '-4,928'.

"Rawgh!" the Royal Guard immediately let out a raging roar, and in a low, rumbling noise, it said, "Anyone who disrespects the Royal Family shall be eliminated!"

Zhang Yang raised up his shield to engage. Right after his {Block}, he conveniently activated his {Shield Bash} and smashed his shield right into the monster's face. 'Kuang'! The shield clashed against the metallic armor on the monster's head with a loud and clear bang. The impact of the strike concussed the monster, and forced the monster to take a few steps back.

"Huh? Why is this monster is so noob!" Wei Yan Er smirked, "So noob, that it can't even withstand the strength of noob tank!"

An elite monster was just an elite grade monster after all. Although the attack of the monster was already as strong as the attack of a Yellow-Gold boss, the strength attribute of the monster would remain the same, not something to stand against Zhang Yang, who already has a set of powerful equipment on him.

The situation was like a 'naked' player holding a Violet-Platinum weapon in hand, trying to battle a player with a full set of powerful equipment, but with only a White-Wood weapon in hand. The attacks of both sides were almost of the same level, but the same balance was not present in terms of strength.

This elite monster that had super strong attack power, but nothing else much!

Although this Royal Guard had the {Crushing Vow} effect and was immune to all Status Restriction skills, the 'Supporting Attack' was not really a means of an assault. Under the precise control of Zhang Yang over his avatar in the game, this monster was bombarded to the point that its pattern of attack had changed drastically, unable to land a hit on Zhang Yang!

"Wow, noob tank! At least you're not making a fool of yourself there!" Wei Yan Er looked at Zhang Yang with admiration as she wielded her giant axe, slashing the monster until it lost its balance. The monster was in a really bad shape.

"Of course I must look good!" Zhang Yang laughed.

"You're so full of yourself!" the four ladies hooted at the same time.

At the earlier stages of the game, as the grade and level of equipment were not high enough, players could never have enough power to knock monsters back. It was not possible for a player to send a monster backward. Therefore, players began to fuse 'Supporting Attacks' as they picked and rolled, and with the increasing number of high-tier equipment that were appearing for players to grab allowed them to be more efficient. So, more and more players were getting into the norm of using 'Supporting Attacks' in battle against monsters and bosses!

Zhang Yang had been trying to introduce the ladies to the effectiveness and the convenience of using 'Supporting Attacks' in battle, and, he had managed to pique their interest in it. He wanted them to understand the 'mechanism' by themselves. All he needed to do was to supervise them from one side, and they would improve their skills and strength very rapidly!

About 3 minutes into the battle, the monster was slain, and it collapsed down to the ground right before the powerful attacks of the gang. More shockingly, this monster actually dropped a piece of Yellow-Gold equipment which got Han Ying Xue and Wei Yan Er really excited.

As the skill, {Vanish} had a 5-minute cooldown period, and the skill {Shadow of the Void} had a cool down period of 10 minutes long, the gang could only wait it out before they can strike again. However, the moment after the cool down period of Sun Xin Yu's {Vanish} was over, Zhang Yang decided to take a risk. He sent Sun Xin Yu over directly to lure the monsters in an attempt to save some precious time.

"But, what if --" Sun Xin Yu looked at him with a worried face.

"Well, at worst, I'll only die once!" Zhang Yang smiled, "But, I believe that you will not let that happen!"

Sun Xin Yu could not hide her embarrassment, her eyes were filled with hope, as she started blushing, while glaring at him, but with a sense of sweetness in it. As she continued blushing, she turned around and charged towards the monsters.

"This time, try to get two of them over!" Zhang Yang increased his demands.

Well if they lured two of the elite monsters over, by the time when they slay the two monsters, the cooldown period for Sun Xin Yu's {Vanish} would be over, and they would not be wasting any time at all!

Right then, Sun Xin Yu halted at the moment she was about to enter the aggro range of the monsters.

She was indeed worthy to be called a professional player. After she entered the range where she had lured the first monster, she took one step closer to the monsters before she activated her {Vanish} to disengage from battle. But this seemingly insignificant 'one step' actually brought in two Royal Guards to Zhang Yang. The two monsters charged at Zhang Yang in an intense manner.

It was another success!

Zhang Yang met the two approaching monsters without any sense of fear. With a vibrant swing of his [Sword of Purging Devourer] and the continuous bashing on the monsters' faces with his [Titan Wall, Zhang Yang suppressed the two monsters with so much brute force to the point that the monsters could not even stand properly.

Wei Yan Er had also picked up some hints on how Zhang Yang did it, so she also went up to one of the monsters and started swinging her giant axe as hard as she could. With the oppressive hammerings of Wei Yan Er, the monsters were bombarded to the point that they were constantly being pushed back by the attack, unable to regain their balance. Remaining armor pieces and the pieces of shattered bones were falling off the monster, roaring in hopeless rage. The little girl laughed joyfully as they roared in her face.

However, Sun Xin Yu and Daffodil Daydream were using different approaches, rather than applying brute force on the monsters. So, they could not really do much in this battle. Daffodil Daydream could not help but to voice out, "Guildmaster, Warrior Class and Knight Class can suppress their opponents purely with Strength. They can even use such tactics to interrupt Magic Classes from chanting spells successfully as well! What can the other Classes do?"

Zhang Yang did not stop what he was doing as he continued to attack the monsters, "That's not entirely true. Warriors and Knights are indeed more powerful in terms of Strength. Thieves and Hunters are more inclined to the 'Agility' attribute, so they can unleash more potential as they gain more speed, for speed is their mantra. The higher agility points that they have, the faster they can attack, and the more damage they can do to their opponents. If your opponents are moving at the speed of light, then you will not be able to lock onto them. So when that happens, no matter how powerful your attacks are, you can't even touch them. Magic Classes have the advantage when it comes to Status Restriction skills, and their explosive power. They can actually end the battle, even before their opponents approach them!"

"Sigh. So Magic Classes are actually weak in the sense of toughness, what a loss!" Han Ying Xue let out a breath of sigh.

"Well, that's not entirely true either. Actually, Magic Classes need to put their focus on combining their skills during PK battles!" Zhang Yang tried to rack his brain to find a suitable explanation to back up what he just said, but because he had never actually studied about the specificity of the Magic Class, so he could only throw a vague explanation to the ladies, "You will find out soon enough, in the future!" The truth was, he could not think of any suitable examples, to begin with.

After slashing for awhile, the two monsters were taken down and the cool down period for Sun Xin Yu's {Vanish} was over. At the moment, Zhang Yang could also use his {Shadow of the Void} again. Sun Xin Yu was feeling much more confident with her aggro estimation already, so she had become more proficient at luring the monsters. That was why the next round of luring the monsters was another success. Only two monsters were hooked over to Zhang Yang as well.

The same method was repeatedly and about half an hour later, all 11 elite monsters were cleared out. Only the boss was left alone in the middle of the area!

"Alright! Let's move!" Zhang Yang waved his [Sword of Purging Devourer].

"But, what if the boss resummon the 11 elite Royal Guards the moment we engage in battle with the boss?" Wei Yan Er blinked at the gang with her large eyes.

"You and your big mouth!" the four of them scolded the little girl in unison!

Wei Yan Er was shocked and she placed a hand over her heart, to show that she was really shocked.

Zhang Yang charged towards the boss with large steps, as he threw the {Spear of Obliteration} across the air, and onto the boss, triggering the boss battle.

"You imbecile, pests!" Rogalli humphed out loud and raised his staff at Zhang Yang, and he shouted, "I'm very tired, I need rest! Why are you disturbing my rest!"

Shoof!

A stream of dark light shot right out from the tip of the staff, and turned into a large skull all of a sudden. The skull opened up its jaws and flew towards Zhang Yang attempting to swallow him whole!

'-17,094!'

"Haha! Then, let us put you to rest, for eternity! You can have as much rest as you want by then!" Zhang Yang swung his sword towards the boss. But, the magic robe that the boss had on was extremely tough! Zhang Yang's sword rang as if, it was striking something metallic! But fortunately, the damage values still appeared as Zhang Yang attacked the boss. The boss also felt the pain, and he shouted in rage as Zhang Yang 'poked' him again and again.

"You imbeciles! You piss me off!" Rogalli raised his staff right up into the air and fired another dark light from the tip of his staff that transformed into a large skull!

Sun Xin Yu and the others quickly surrounded the boss and began to launch their assaults on the boss savagely.

Chapter 452: Death Water Elemental

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After being ganged up by the party, Rogalli was even further enraged. As the second prince of the Imperial Heaven's Empire, Rogalli is usually the one bringing along his underlings, rounding up on the weak. How could he accept such treatment?

Shoof! Shoof! Shoof!

The boss repeatedly casted the large dark skulls after Zhang Yang, damaging Zhang Yang by about 17,000 damage with each hit. But, Zhang Yang had a total of 90,000 health points, without even being atop the [Mythical Turtle]. There was really nothing to worry about, at that moment!

Of course, a Violet-Platinum boss is not so simple. Rogalli had not yet revealed his true power!

"Spirits of the air, heed my summons, and gather to me!" Rogalli raised his staff up into the air and started chanting a spell in a loud voice. Instantly, 5 beams of iridescent light swam around, Rogalli like guards patrolling around him.

"Die!" Rogalli completed his chanting of the spell, and immediately aimed his staff at Zhang Yang. Instantly, the five beam of lights combined onto one and shot straight towards Zhang Yang!

'Ding! Rogalli has unleashed {Elemental Disruptive Bomb}!'

Without any hesitation, Zhang Yang quickly activated his {Shield Wall}! The boss had been accumulating his power into this attack, of course it would be a hard hit!

'-22,894!'

Boom! The combined beam of light struck Zhang Yang, and colorful sparks shot off Zhang Yang's body! An extremely high damage value was still inflicted upon Zhang Yang, even after he activated his {Shield Wall}! The basic damage of this {Elemental Disruptive Bomb} reached up to a total of 125,000 points! If Zhang Yang had not activated his {Shield Wall} in time, he would have been taken out on the spot, an instant-kill!

"You're still alive? You are persistent!" Rogalli saw that his super attack had not taken out Zhang Yang, and he could not hide his astonishment, "You really do have some skills, to be able to come so far!"

Zhang Yang laughed in pride, and said, "Well, you haven't seen "anything" yet!"

The four ladies were disgusted by his words, and Wei Yan Er immediately said, "Yo, noob tank! This boss has lived for thousands of years! You trying to show it something that it hasn't seen yet is just stupid! Haha!"

Rogalli was enraged even further, so he let out a raging roar into the sky, "Element of earth, protect me!"

In just an instant, a beam of yellow light began to form and gather in front of the boss, swiftly forming into three shields. These three shields spun around the boss rapidly.

'Ding! Rogalli has unleashed {Earth Shield}, the shields can absorb a total of 300,000 damage!"

"What the hell! That is some shield! It's even much more powerful than {Holy Shield}!" Han Ying Xue was really shocked.

Zhang Yang laughed and teased her, "Just wait, until you have about 150,000 magic damage, then your {Holy Shield} would be able to absorb the same amount of damage as this boss' shield! Be patient! Haha!"

"... 150,000 magic damage..." Han Ying Xue rolled her eyes!

Under the protection of the {Earth Shield}, all attacks launched at the boss only caused the word 'Immune' to pop up on the boss repeatedly. However, once the boss had been inflicted with 100,000 damage, one of the shields that were spinning around him will vanish. With the firepower that Zhang Yang and his party produces, they could get rid of one shield in about every 10 seconds! So, about 30 seconds later, the final shield that was spinning around Rogalli had vanished, and the boss started to lose his health points again.

"The power of the earth is way beyond your imagination!" Rogalli suddenly let out a roar and repeatedly knocking his staff onto the ground, as violently as he could!

'Ding! Rogalli has unleashed {Gravel Bullets}!'

Kroom! Kroom! Kroom!

The surface of the ground began to tremble, and instantly, patches of black whirlpools appeared, one after another, occupying the ground! Stone pikes shot out from the black whirlpools, swiftly retracting not soon after. Then, they repeated their actions again! The speed of the process was extremely swift!

The five of them had been through more battles than they could remember. Nobody needed any reminding to scramble to safety.

About half a minute later, these black whirlpools started to disappear, one after another. But, it did not mean that Zhang Yang and the ladies could let their guards down. The black whirlpools reappeared on the surface of the ground at different positions, causing Zhang Yang and the ladies to panic, and start running for more safe spots again!

"Hahaha!" Seeing that everyone was panicking, Rogalli could not help but to laugh out loud. He was a Magic Class boss, so he did not have to run around to attack Zhang Yang. With just a raise of his staff, he could fire dark skulls that chomped at Zhang Yang's health bar mercilessly.

Everyone was suffering to the point that they were crying out loud! They had to make sure they dodged the stone pikes while also making sure that their DPS is maintained so that they could reduce the health bar of the boss down consistently. They were so busy that the party chat was completely motionless!

After a brief while, the boss activated his {Earth Shield} once again, shielding himself up once again, slowing down their pace even further! Fortunately for them, this boss did not have any skills that could recover his health bar. If he started reversing the damage they were dealing on him, it would become impossible to defeat the boss!

95%, 905, 85%... the health bar of Rogalli was reducing at a snail's pace.

Finally, two minutes later, the health bar of the boss had been reduced down to 80%!

"Spirits that wander in the air, heed my summons, and gather to me!" Rogalli raised his staff into the air and began to chant the {Elemental Disruptive Bomb}. Once again, 5 light beams of iridescent brightness swam around Rogalli.

"It's the {Elemental Disruptive Bomb} again!" After the spell for the {Elemental Disruptive Bomb} was complete, the boss directed the light beam straight towards Zhang Yang, with his staff pointed at Zhang Yang! This skill is extremely deadly!

It's now or never, swim or sink! Activating {Last Vigor}!

Zhang Yang's {Shield Wall} was still on cooldown period, so he had no choice left, but to activate his second life-saving skill - {Last Vigor}!

Zoom! His maximum health points immediately soared up to 118,100 points in an instant!

'-97,894!'

The {Elemental Disruptive Bomb} exploded right on Zhang Yang, inflicting him with a damage value that was enough to instantly kill 99% of tankers in the entire game, at the current stage of the game! Whether it be the defense or the damage absorption, it means nothing when put before this absolutely high damage value! Instead, the passive skill of the tanker, which reduced 20% of the damage received could actually offer an unexpectedly great effect!

After the attack, Zhang Yang was left with only about 20,000 health points!

Han Ying Xue quickly placed a {Holy Shield} onto Zhang Yang, and focused on healing him up as quickly as possible.

"Elemental of Water, wandering in the air, please accept my greetings, and battle for me!" Rogalli raised up his staff once again, but this time, puddles of water emerged on the surface of the ground, one after another, forming something humanoid. The crystal clear water still flowed smoothly around in the human form, which made them rather bizarre.

After these humanoid creatures were completely formed, the remaining puddles on the ground were absorbed by the humanoid water creatures, vanishing. They started to walk towards Zhang Yang and the ladies in a random formation. They weren't even fast.

[Death Water Elemental] (Normal, Summon)

Level: 1

HP: 50

Defense: 0

Note: If you are wise, you will not attack these dangerous creatures, and you will definitely not want them to touch you!

In {{God's Miracle}}, things that seem harmless are usually the most dangerous things in the game! Even if there wasn't such an indirect warning in the note attached, Zhang Yang and the ladies would not even try to attack, or touch these weird creatures. They had experienced this many times already with similar monsters, this had to be a trap!

"Will we die instantly if we touched these things?" Wei Yan Er asked.

"I'm 80% sure that we will die if we do touch them! Do you still remember what happened on the Island of the Sacred One? Fatty Han really got us into trouble, there!" Daffodil Daydream nodded.

However, this time, the black whirlpools did not vanish from the ground, they were still on the ground, jabbing out more the stone pikes, leaving players with lesser places to stand in the entire area.

"Die! Just die!" Rogalli laughed madly as he fired more black skulls at Zhang Yang, one after another. That had been the most regular and frequent attack that the boss have been using throughout the entire battle. It was like the automatic attack of a physical type boss.

"The boss should enter a new Phase when he loses another 20% of his health bar!" Zhang Yang went around a pillar to get out of the boss' sight, forcing the boss to move around to get a better aim. He went around the pillars for a few times, waiting for those Death Water Elemental to approach. When these summoned monsters circled around the pillar, he ran to another pillar, not far from the previous one, sending the monsters on a wild goose chase.

"Holy sh*t, this is just Phase 2, and we already have to evade stone pikes and water elementals! What kind of nonsense do we have to deal with, in Phase 3, Phase 4, and Phase 5!" Han Ying Xue was already crying in misery.

"Guildmaster, your quest is definitely not an S-rank quest! It must be at least an SSSSS-rank, it's crazy!" Daffodil Daydream was also making complaints.

Zhang Yang had already kited the boss far away from the location of the boss. The four ladies followed closely from behind. However, [Mythical Turtle] had short flaps! It was going nowhere! But Turtle was extremely lucky. Although it was slowly walking towards the boss, it miraculously did not step onto any of the black whirlpools that appeared across the ground!

However, one of the Death Water Elementals had caught up with Turtle, and reached out towards Turtle with a watery arm! With a gentle touch, the Death Water Elemental suddenly turned into a stream of clear water, and flowed into the body of Turtle!

Boom!

In less than 1 second, the [Mythical Turtle] was turned into a landmine explosion! The pieces of Turtle were splattered across a circular area, with a radius of 30 meters!

"Oh my god, this is terrifying!" Wei Yan Er patted her heart in alarm.

"I'd rather get skewered by the stone pikes anytime soon!" everyone was nodding to agree on that point.

Previously, the gang had needed to dodge the stone pike attacks from the ground. It had already got in the way of their movements so extensively that they could hardly dish out any damage! Now they had to evade a bunch of Death Water Elementals as well! It was getting even more out of hand! The gang had only managed to reduce the health bar of the boss down to 60%, after 4 minutes of hellish nightmare. The boss was now entering Phase 3!

The moment the boss entered Phase 3, Rogalli launched another {Elemental Disruptive Bomb} at Zhang Yang!

But this time, the cool down period of Zhang Yang's {Shield Wall} had already ended. So, Zhang Yang handled the attack with ease.

It seems that the boss would only launch his {Elemental Disruptive Bomb} whenever he enters a new Phase. Having gotten familiar with the sequences of the boss, things have gotten much smoother. The cool down period of Zhang Yang's {Shield Wall} was only 3 minutes long. So, whenever they have taken out 19% of the boss's health bar, all Zhang Yang had to do was to look at the remaining cool down period of his {Shield Wall}. If it was ready, then Zhang Yang and the gang could simply continue inflicting damage onto the boss. But if the cool down period was not over yet, all they needed to do was to halt their attacks, until Zhang Yang's {Shield Wall} was ready once again, before they resumed their assaults.

"Elementals of Fire, please listen to my proposal, and eliminate all of my enemies!" Rogalli began to use a new skill, in his new Phase.

Boom!

A wave of flame exploded right out from the body of the boss, causing a ring of fire to spread into the surroundings!

As the wave of flame rolled across the ground, Zhang Yang and the ladies were all inflicted with a basic damage of about 25,000 points, each!

"What the hell! Ice and fire dual damage!" Zhang Yang roared frantically while stealing a glance at Sun Xin Yu and Han Ying Xue. He could not help but think that these two ladies were also like ice and fire! So, that meant that he had always been 'sandwiched' in between ice and fire, ever since he knew them!

Chapter 453: Ring of Blazing Flame

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Rogalli shook his body, turning into a 'Rocket man' launching a spray fireworks into the surroundings! He would send out a wave of flames across the area from time to time, giving Han Ying Xue a hard time!

Fortunately, Daffodil Daydream had already leveled her {Recovery Aura} up to Level 3, so everyone could heal 500 health points and 230 mana points every 3 seconds, lightening some of Han Ying Xue's workload. The recovery of 230 mana points every 3 seconds would also be turned into an abundance of hitpoints, thanks to the efficient catalytic converter that was Han Ying Xue.

Everyone in the party was beginning to get the flow of this super difficult battle. They were getting better and better in evading the hits, slowly bringing up their DPS!

Especially Wei Yan Er. Because of limited rage points, the rate of her using her rage points was not high at all during boss battles, so she couldn't unleash her full potential. But whenever she is engaged in battles with these kinds of AoE-happy bosses, she need not worry about running out of rage points! She only needed to wait until her skills were cooled down before she spams her skills again. There was nothing to worry about, she only had to throw every single skill onto the boss, and everything would be fine!

As a result, they actually managed to bring down the health bar of the boss down to only 41% within 3 minutes. Zhang Yang quickly told everyone to stop attacking, as the cool down period of his {Shield Wall} still needed ten seconds. If they pushed the boss into his Phase 4 at that moment, one {Elemental Disruptive Bomb} would be enough to force Zhang Yang to activate his {Last Vigor} to stay alive.

But {Last Vigor} would not reduce the amount of damage received. If the boss had any new super skills that can hit really hard in Phase 4, then Zhang Yang would be doomed! Well, one must be cautious when crossing a road, no matter if the traffic is busy or not. It would be best to stop and look at both directions of the road before crossing. As a wiseman once said, 'Better late than dead'. So, it was unwise to put himself into a dangerous situation just to save 10 seconds!

40%!

"Spirits of the air, heed my summons and gather to me!" the moment Rogalli entered his 4th Phase, he immediately began chanting the {Elemental Disruptive Bomb}. This skill was meant to take out the tanker and throw the party into disarray. If this skill could be activated without incantation, no party would stand a chance!

During Phase 4, the boss had another AOE skill - {Shadow Bomb}. But, this skill shared a common cool down period with {Tidal Flame}, and the damage of this skill is slightly higher than {Tidal Flame}. Therefore, although the difficulty of this battle was increased, it did not put too much pressure on Han Ying Xue. She still healed them all up fine.

The five of them were getting more familiar with the pattern of the battle. After another 3 minutes, and they had reduced the health bar of the boss down to 21%.

Zhang Yang tried to 'suppress' the fire power of the entire party for awhile, until the cool down period of his {Shield Wall} was over. Then only, did they push the boss into his Phase 5, which was also the 'Slaughter Stage' of a boss fight!

"Argh --" Rogalli suddenly became enraged to the point that he had cracked his voice. After nuking Zhang Yang with an {Elemental Disruptive Bomb}, Rogalli activated another new Super Skill for his Phase 5. A green shroud began to emerge from his body and spread across the area, clouding up the entire area. Zhang Yang and the ladies were afflicted with an additional negative effect.

[Paralytic Poison Shroud: Inflicts 1,000 Nature Damage to all enemies every 3 seconds. There was a 10% rate of paralyzing the enemy, lasts for 10 seconds. The effect of paralysis can be lifted.

After reading the description of the {Paralytic Poison Shroud}, Han Ying Xue immediately let out a miserable scream. Her 'workload' was about to get real heavy!

The damage of the {Paralytic Poison Shroud} is not that high itself. The {Recovery Aura} could already negate half of that damage. However, when the paralysis effect of the {Paralytic Poison Shroud} strikes the players, things would be much harder for the players as the movement of the players will be restricted. Players would not die if they are touched by the black whirlpools, but they would be torn to pieces if they ever get touched by any of the Death Water Elementals!

The final stages of a battle would be the time to see the full prowess of a healer. All Han Ying Xue needed to do was to make sure that her healing skills are activated accordingly, at the correct timing. She needed to make sure that the health bar(s) of the tanker(s) in her party do(es) not go below the danger point, and she also needed to make sure that other party members do not die. Although all of them had their own skills, capable of countering the Status Restriction skill, the cool down period for the skills were just too long. They should only activate their skills as a last resort!

After the health bar of the boss had been reduced below 20%, the damage output of the party was increased by a little, and they were using every single skills that can 'Slaughter'. In just a brief while, under the bombardment of their fire power, the health bar of the boss was already reduced down to only 10%!

Rogalli finally felt a sense of fear. He began to increase his speed in activating his skills! Other than that, the movement speed of the Death Water Elementals had also increased by a notch, making the battle even harder than before!

"We can do this! We're strong!" The party members started encouraging each other.

8%, 6%, 4%... the health bar of the boss was getting shorter by the second! And now, there were only a few 'drops' of health points left!

"F*ck him up! Humph! Use your everything on him!" Han Ying Xue was shouting and 'humping' in frustration!

Zhang Yang heard the way she shouted and had to crack a smile. Then he sent a private message to Han Ying Xue, "You were also 'humphing' me like this when we were in my room."

"You 'bust-tart'!" Han Ying Xue instantly blushed.

3%! 2%! 1%!

"No --" Rogalli roared in a thunderous but terrified voice, before he collapsed onto the ground, dead.

The moment Rogalli was killed, all of the black whirlpools and the Death Water Elementals in the surrounding vanished without a trace. Everything went so quiet, as if no battle had even occurred in the area before! But, the three equipment that Rogalli dropped on the ground radiated with mesmerizing lights. One of them was a Leather Armor that glittered gold, another was a dark green helmet, and last but not least, was a ring surrounded by a lightly flame.

Wei Yan Er went up to pick up the coins while Zhang Yang went on to pick up the equipment, one after another. The first equipment they looked at was the Leather Armor.

[Scaly Breast Plate] (Yellow-Gold, Leather Armor)

Defense: 24

Vitality: 302

Strength: 121

Agility: 274

Equip: Increases your damage and healing effect by 2%.

{Unidentified}

Required Level: 100

Zhang Yang looked at Sun Xin Yu, but Sun Xin Yu shook her head and pointed at her chest, implying that she already had a better set of armor equipped. Somehow Zhang Yang's lingered on her magnificent mounds instead.

If it was another beautiful lady, he could easily tear his eyes away. But, the situation was much more different when it came to Sun Xin Yu and Han Ying Xue. These two beautiful ladies were his 'crushes'! There was nothing shameful in men admiring their crushes!

Sun Xin Yu blushed as she noticed Zhang Yang 'drooling' at her through his eyes. Han Ying Xue was not too happy about it, so she cut in by coughing pointedly, a few times. The jealousy towards each other began to surge in the shadow.

Since the Leather Armor was not desired by anyone, Zhang Yang could only slide it into his inventory and continued to look at the two pieces of equipment that were still lying on the ground. So, he started by looking at the dark green helmet.

[Deadly Fate Helmet] (Violet-Platinum, Heavy Armor)

Defense: 80

Vitality: 712

Strength: 471

Agility: 191

Equip: Increases your damage and healing effect by 4%.

Equip: Increases your Maximum Health Points by 1,000 points.

{Unidentified}

Required Level: 100

Wei Yan Er did not wait for Zhang Yang to open up his mouth, she was already repeatedly bobbing her head up and down, "I want it! I want it!"

"Little girl, this is actually an awesome helmet, man! Just look at the additional Strength! This power, this agility! And it also increases your Maximum Health Point by 1,000 points! Wow! This is really the best of the best! So how can you just take it like that! You must offer something in return, man!" Zhang Yang tried to trick the gullible brat!

"You're really bad! If you try to bully me again, I shall tell everyone about what you and cousin-sister did after dinner!" Wei Yan Er whispered into Zhang Yang's ear and threatened Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang was really shocked, but after giving it some thought, how would the little brat even know what happened behind his closed door? She had to be bluffing! But his initial intention was to tease the little girl just a little. If he unintentionally provoked her, and she goes on telling nonsense to everyone, then he shall be exposed to a risk where Sun Xin Yu might get very angry, at his peril!

Zhang Yang just laughed and passed the [Deadly Fate Helmet] over to Wei Yan Er.

Meanwhile, the little girl was smiling and wrapped her arms round Zhang Yang's shoulder, forcing him to stoop down. While acting all brotherly with Zhang Yang, she said, "Noob tank, you can just put away all your worries. I will keep you and sister Snow's secret nicely. As long as you make more of my favorite dishes, and buy me more gifts in the future."

Zhang Yang could only shake his head helplessly. Then, he picked the ring up from the ground.

[Ring of Blazing Flame] (Violet-Platinum, Ring)

Vitality: 176

Intelligence: 116

Spirit: 116

Equip: Increases your fire magic damage, maximum of 150 damage points.

Equip: Increases Maximum Mana Points by 500 points.

{Unidentified}

Required Level: 100

"Wow, this boss is really generous! He actually dropped another piece of fine equipment for us!" Han Ying Xue spoke with an exaggerated face. Then, she took the ring over and examined it, "It's really beautiful!"

This ring was indeed a fine craft!

Although the basic attributes of the ring could only be considered as middle-tiered, but the two additional effects were really awesome! One increased additional damage, while the other one added Maximum Mana Points, which could lead to an increase of the damage output, or increases the endurance of one's capability. If there was one thing lacking on the ring, it did not add health points, and that was a small matter!

"Sister Daffodil, congratulations on acquiring a fine ring!" Wei Yan Er snatched the ring from him and tossed it at Daffodil Daydream, beaming a wide grin, "On behalf of noob tank, I hereby present this gift to you! So, pretty face, you are mine now!"

"You little girl!" Daffodil Daydream was more of a shy person, so she stamped the ground in embarrassment, blushing.

After picking up 3 pieces of equipment, Zhang Yang kicked the dead body of the boss aside and he discovered another item, a Skill Book, with a crimson red hardcover!

[Skill Book: Fatal Strike Aura]

Use: Teaches you the skill {Fatal Strike Aura}.

Required Profession: None

Required Level: 90

Among the five of them, only Sun Xin Yu had not acquired any Aura Skills. So, this Aura Skill Book would naturally be hers. Only one player could activate one Aura Skill at a time, and everyone in the same party could enjoy the effect of the Aura Skill as well. There was no point fighting over it at all.

Sun Xin Yu learned the skill {Fatal Strike Aura} and posted the description of the skill onto the party channel for everyone to see.

[Fatal Strike Aura] (Level 1): Adds 1% critical rate of all party members that are within the effective range of the aura effect. Range of effective area: 30-meter radius circular area having the user as the center point. The effect will last until the user is dead or when the effect vanishes automatically. You can only activate one Aura Skill at the same time.

An increment of 1% critical rate for one player was not really much, but when everyone on the party is boosted with a 1% increase in their critical rate, then the situation would be very different. Furthermore, this was just a Level 1 Aura Effect. Until the Aura Skill is leveled up to 10, there should be at least an increment of 10% critical rate by then!

Other than that, Rogalli had also dropped a piece of [Middle-tier Aura Stone]. The stone was taken by Daffodil Daydream, which was later used to level up her {Recovery Aura} up to Level 4. Now, her Aura Skill could restore 800 health points and 300 mana points every 3 seconds. It had become even more practical than before!

Chapter 454: 'Civil War' in the Imperial Sky

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After picking up the loots, the dead body of the Rogalli vanished without a trace. The five of them went back to the place where they had first encountered the boss, and made their way down the the fourth floor of Treasure Cove.

"Little Yang! Let me tell you a great piece of news!" right after Zhang Yang and the ladies stepped foot into the passage, Zhang Yang received a voice message from Fatty Han.

"What is it?" Zhang Yang was not really interested to find out, as he knew Fatty Han a little too well to know that most of his 'great' news were either baseless rumors, or idle gossip. His news was of no help.

Fatty Han laughed and tried to build up his story dramatically, but he had always been a 'big mouthed' person! So, he let the words slipped out of his mouth after a brief while, "One Sword Stroke and Liu Wei have turned on each other!"

"Hmm!" Zhang Yang widened his eyes. That really caught his interest! So he quickly pressed, "How did you know about this?"

"My god! Someone exposed this 'scandal' at the forum, and that someone is one of the high-tiered members of Imperial Sky!"

Was it because One Sword Stroke no longer had any value to Liu Wei, and now Liu Wei was trying to end their 'honeymoon'? Zhang Yang gave it some thoughts and then he asked, "How did they end up turning against each other in the first place?"

"Hehe! I heard that it's because of one woman!"

"What?"

"According to the rumors flying around in the forum, One Sword Stroke had laid his hands on Liu Wei's girlfriend! In the end, they were caught red-handed by Liu Wei, in bed! The two of them actually got into a fistfight, right in her face! Hehe! That's really messed up man! Haha! This Liu Wei tried to 'steal' Imperial Sky over for himself, but ended up getting his girlfriend stolen by One Sword Stroke! Ironic, poetic justice!" Fatty Han burst out laughing.

Zhang Yang was shocked. Were they talking about a girlfriend? So is it possible that they were talking about Luo Xin Yan? He quickly asked Fatty Han, "Do you know the name of his girlfriend?"

"Her name is erm... Luo something... Xin something... You see... I can't really remember, you know how my brain works."

"Luo Xin Yan?"

"Right! That's right! Her name is Luo Xin Yan! Wait, how do you know?" Fatty Han asked as he was very curious, but immediately came up with an assumption and said, "So, you already saw that post earlier on! Gah, why did you try to make me happy? You should have told me from the start!"

Zhang Yang laughed and said, "I haven't seen the post yet, but I do know that this Liu Wei does have a girlfriend. Carry on! Tell me more!"

Fatty Han also 'knew' that Zhang Yang had his reasons for hating Liu Wei. After all, Zhang Yang was almost played out by Liu Wei, barely making it to the Soaring Sword Competition in Shang Hai! So, Fatty Han would not be surprised if Zhang Yang had been keeping an eye on Liu Wei.

Then he continued, "But! Liu Wei is also not simple in other regards. After he left Imperial Sky, he took a large number of players along with him and formed his own guild. I think the name of his guild is 'The Myth'. Hate to admit it, but it sounds awesome!"

The Myth?

Zhang Yang felt a terrifying chill down his spine. In this life, although Liu Wei had been progressing very differently in 'God's Miracle' under Zhang Yang's influence, but in some aspects, they were uncannily similar! The guild that Liu Wei had founded in his previous life was also called 'The Myth'!

"Oh, I see. So, how about One Sword Stroke? Did he say anything at all?"

"Of course he's mad! He began a quarrel with that son of the beach Liu Wei!" Fatty Han laughed. Be it Liu Wei or One Sword Stroke, Fatty Han had always hated these two guys. So now that these two were quarreling with each other like a cat and a dog, of course he would be satisfied watching the 'drama' progress, "Now that the two guilds are hurling insults at each in the forums, some 'bored' people have joined in and have added some 'seasoning' to the fight, making situation even 'better'! Haha! Now, the forum is chaotic, thanks to them!"

Zhang Yang was at a loss on whether to cry or to laugh. His initial intention was to send Luo Xin Yan to Liu Wei, hoping to plant an eye and an ear next to Liu Wei, so that he would truly be able to keep an eye and ear on Liu Wei's every single move! With that, he could at least prevent that son of the beach from planning in the dark! But now that things had escalated to a whole new level, his move of sending the girl to Liu Wei had led to the 'dissolution' of the gay partnership between Liu Wei and One Sword Stroke!

But now, One Sword Stroke should be the one Liu Wei hates the most! No men could ever endure the sensation of being cuckolded! Liu Wei, likely to harbor a grudge for a long time, would surely think of a way of 'handling' One Sword Stroke'. So he shouldn't be planning any evil schemes on Zhang Yang for at least a brief period of time.

In other perspectives, Zhang Yang and One Sword Stroke did not really hate each other as much. Imperial Sky and Lone Desert Smoke had been rivals since the earlier stages of the game. Competition between guilds was inevitable. No one would like to play second fiddle. If Zhang Yang was in the other man's position, he would have also done anything to crush his rivals, making his Lone Desert Smoke, the best guild in the entire China server!

The survival of the fittest applied to all online games. The strong would step over the weak. This phenomenon was very common in all online games!

But, who would have thought the almighty number one tanker in the entire China server had once fallen into a love trap with Luo Xin Yan, in his previous life! Although Zhang Yang had been rivals One Sword Stroke for so long, Liu Wei had been the perpetrator of most of it. He actually had deep respect for One Sword Stroke's capabilities! But, to think that One Sword Stroke would actually steal other people's 'wife', that was really something that Zhang Yang could not understand!

Zhang Yang shook his head and decided to put his thoughts on the matter aside. His main focus at the moment was to clear the entire Treasure Cove!

After walking down a few flights of stairs, Zhang Yang and the ladies arrived at the fourth floor of the Treasure Cove.

"Rawh --" The moment they walked out of the stairwell, a large white skeletal tiger lunged out from a dark corner by the stairs and bit Wei Yan Er. 'Crack!' The skeletal tiger left four teeth marks on the armor of the little girl!

'-14,216!'

Wei Yan Er was inflicted with a high damage value in an instant! She had almost immediately lost 25% of her health bar!

[Starving White Skeletal Tiger] (Elite, Spectre)

Level: 95

HP: 3,000,000

Defense: 2,000

Note: Pet of the First Prince, Jesse Rogue. After a long period of time, this creature has turned into a Spectre. But they have never forgotten their natural instinct, that is to feed!

The surroundings were too dark. Only after the little girl was attacked did Zhang Yang realize that they were being ambushed! He then quickly 'Displayed' the special visual effect of his Titan Set Armor, radiating in a mesmerizing holy light, that made him look like a god that had descended down from the heavens. His holy light then shone 2 to 3 meters out, illuminating everything around the area.

Zhang Yang let out a thunderous roar and activated {Provoke} on the White Skeletal Tiger. The White Skeletal Tiger immediately charged towards him right after that. With his sword raised, Zhang Yang inflicted the White Skeletal Tiger with a damage of about 4,000 points, and instantly hooked the aggro of the monster over to him.

His basic damage ranged from 4,168 to 4,568, but the {Strength Aura} of Wei Yan Er was already at Level 4 right now, along with the title of 'Divine Radiance of the Warriors,' which allowed him to deal an additional 10% damage to all demons and spectre type monsters. With all the buffs on him, his normal attacks ranged from 4,568 to 5,025 points!

The White Skeletal Tiger was afraid of pain, so it immediately let out an intimidating roar of a tiger. With it's mouth opened wide, the monster revealed four long and sharp fangs, and it leaped towards Zhang Yang.

"You stinky tiger! How dare you put holes in my armor! I'm not through with you!" Wei Yan Er was raging with fury as she screamed at the tiger.

"The tiger had only bitten you once, why are you so mad about it?"

"... Wu wu wu... this stinky tiger did some damage to my armor and the durability of my armor has dropped by 1%!" Wei Yan Er revealed a miserable and bitter expression on her face as she violently hacked the White Skeletal Tiger up.

When the durability of an equipment drops, players would have to spend coins to repair it. That was the main reason why the little girl was so mad about it! Asking her to spend coins or money was like asking a tiger to lose its teeth!

The White Skeletal Tiger was quickly hammered into a pulp under the combined attacks of the party! The skeletal body of the tiger shattered into pieces across the ground, and dropped a Yellow-Gold shield!

[Tiger-Tooth Thorny Shield] (Yellow-Gold, Shield)

Defense: 1,008

Vitality: 504

Equip: Absorbs 344 damage.

Equip: Reflects 100 physical damage when engaged with melee attacks.

{Unidentified}

Required Level: 90

"Wahaha! This is a fitting compensation for biting me so hard!" Wei Yan Er smiled while she took the shield and placed it into her inventory.

Zhang Yang shook his head and said, "One Yellow-Gold shield could at least earn us 40,000 to 50,000 gold coins you know. How much gold coins would it take for you to repair that 1% damage of your armor?"

"... although it doesn't require that much gold coins to repair my armor, I was emotionally affected, I scared sh*tless, mind you! So the remaining balance shall be the compensation for my emotional trauma!" Wei Yan Er tried to justify her words.

The party continued to move forward. The design of the fourth floor was a little different from the third floor. The walls in the surroundings did not have lit-up torches on them, not even one. There were no pillars that looked like fluorescent light tubes to support the ceiling of the floor as well. Every corner of the floor was just dark. Only god knew what kinds of monsters lurked in the darkness.

Fortunately, the special effect of Zhang Yang's Titan Set Armor was a great deal of help. Although it illuminated the surroundings by about 2 to 3 meters, at least they won't be completely blind. Whenever a monster lunged out from the darkness, the party could react in time.

"Wooh!" Another roar of a wolf was heard, followed by the appearance of a large, white skeletal wolf. This time, the monster had pounced at Han Ying Xue! While it was still flying through the air, it opened it's foul mouth and was ready to bite Han Ying Xue off! The foul smell from the mouth spread across the air and threw everyone off!

Zhang Yang was prepared for the moment. He would not let the monster get what it wanted. He lifted a leg up and sent it flying into the buttocks of the white skeletal wolf, knocking it off its flight pattern!

"Wow! That was very cool!" Wei Yan Er's eyes glittered as she praised Zhang Yang. Such was a perfect example of a perfect 'Supporting Attack'. It could actually dissolve a monster's attack without the need of activating any skill!

Zhang Yang laughed and said, "Little girl, you should train on this as well!" With a quick flick of his hand, he launched a {Spear of Obliteration} at the wolf.

"Rawgh--" the lunge attack of the white skeletal wolf was interrupted mid-air, then it got struck by Zhang Yang straight away even before it could regain its stance. The monster let out a raging roar and began to lunge at Zhang Yang. The large body was like a dark cloud, hovering over Zhang Yang as it lunged towards him.

However, such elite monsters only had longer health bars and higher attack power compared to other regular monsters. Against the insanely equipped party of Zhang Yang, they were swiftly reduced to dust.

Unfortunately, this monster did not drop anything. Naturally, the little girl sulked.

The party went on forth, having no knowledge of how many more monsters lurked in the dark corners of the floor. Monsters lunged at them from time to time, sometimes it was a tiger, sometimes a leopard, and sometimes a wolf, or even a lion! These monsters would lunge at them, and Zhang Yang would just use his 'Supporting Attack' to counter them. As the 'Supporting Attack' was really effective and successful against the monsters, the ladies clearly saw its use, and were greatly motivated to start practicing them!

After spending about seven to eight hours, the party had finally reached the end of the floor, and Zhang Yang had also earned tons of experience points, which was sufficient for them to hit Level 98! He was about to reach Level 100 real soon!

"Silly Yu, you're about to reach Level 100!" Looking at the flashy stream of golden light streaming through Zhang Yang, Han Ying Xue asked, "So, the first to get into the Chaos Realm will get a definitive advantage in the game right?"

Zhang Yang nodded as he added the 5 free attribute points that he had just earned from leveling up, channeling them to his Vitality. But the truth was that, at the current stage of the game, with their immense Violet-Platinum equipment, such basal attribute points hardly made any difference! For example, when a player reaches Level 100, they would only have 500 free attribute points. One piece of Violet-Platinum helmet could already add 1000 vitality attribute points. So, when players reach the standards of Mythical, Ethereal or greater tier already, then the free attribute points would barely make any difference.

Then Zhang Yang went on to say, "The first thing that we should focus on after getting into the Chaos Realm is to secure one Territory. Then, it will become much more convenient for our guild members to step into the Chaos Realm. And of course, more income!"

The four ladies agreed with what he said, and they nodded in unison. A Territory is like a money printing machine! They have already experienced the benefits of it.

The party pushed forward for some distance before they saw a large humanoid skeleton glowing luminously in the dark! This skeleton was about 10 meter tall! Every single one of the bones looked like fluorescent tubes. It was such a strange, spooky sight!

[The First Prince, Jesse Rogue] (Violet-Platinum, Spectre)

Level: 100

HP: 10,000,000

Defense: 2,900

"Haha! Another Violet-Platinum boss! So, after we have slain him, we should get enough gold coins to last us for at least a year or two!" Zhang Yang laughed.

"Guildmaster, are you really that short on money?" Daffodil Daydream was asking him, out of her own curiosity.

"Oh, whem I'm living with so many 'Ah Jiaos1' in a plush apartment? I do need money, as much as possible!" Zhang Yang teased.

"You bustard (Bastard)!"

"Hoodlum!"

The ladies scolded Zhang Yang playfully, except for Wei Yan Er, as she could not understand what they were talking about, so she said, "I'm your sister-in-law, so I'm eligible to stay here for free, and eat here for free!"

Zhang Yang waved his sword and his shield, "Alright, let's move!"

As he charged towards that skeletal boss, he threw a {Spear of Obliteration} over and inflicted 4,867 damage on the boss.

"Who dares interrupt me while I'm deep in thought?" The boss roared in a thunderous voice as he began to walk towards Zhang Yang. As the boss had a luminous body, it made him a walking, visible lamp post of a target. It was a lighthouse, directing all blind ships to itself!

Crack!

The boss suddenly tore of one of its ribs and used it as a makeshift dagger! The tip of the 'dagger' shot towards Zhang Yang!

{Block}!

'-5894!'

'-10000!'

'-10000!'

'-10000!'

'-10000!'

Although Zhang Yang had raised up his shield to block against the attack of the boss, the rib bone blew up, and tiny pieces of the shattered bones shot out into the surroundings, inflicting everyone with damage of 10,000 on each of them! It was an AOE attack!

"I hate humans! They are just a bunch of hypocritical, filthy animals! No... they do not even deserve to be called animals either! They only deserve painful deaths!" Jesse Rogue let out a raging roar before he went on to 'pluck' another one of his rib bones off. Once again, he made to stab Zhang Yang!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Every single time when the boss stabbed Zhang Yang with his 'rib bone dagger', the 'rib bone dagger' would explode, 40 meters across the surroundings, and inflict damage to all targets within the effective range of the explosion. It wouldn't hurt to mention that it hurt like hell too!

Fortunately, Han Ying Xue is a Priest, her speciality happened to be AoE healing, she could heal the entire party members at the same time. With the additional support from the {Recovery Aura} of Daffodil Daydream, which had already been leveled up to Level 4, everyone in the party could recover 800 health points every 3 seconds! Although that amount of healing was not really that high, it came at such a rapid rate that the healing efficiency could not be underestimated!

The battle had already hit its peak point, not long after Zhang Yang and the ladies had engaged the boss. Han Ying Xue had already been put to work at full capacity. There was no slacking for this lazy woman!

TL Notes:

1. Ah Jiao - means a mistress or a young wife (as in second/third wife).

Chapter 455: Demon Blade of Death

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Crack! Crack! Crack! Soon, all 12 ribs were all torn apart from its ribs, and it stood before them, a ribless spine.

Wei Yan Er laughed at the boss and said, "Stinky boss, let's see what else you can do now!"

Jesse Rogue let out a roar, and its entire body quivered for a very brief moment. 12 bones emerged right from his spine, forming a new set of rib cage! The boss had returned back to its initial form, which meant that the boss could tear off his rib bones one by one and attack them with that terrifying AOE attack again!

Wei Yan Er's jaw fell slack for one moment, and then she pointed at the boss furiously and said, "You stinky boss! You cheated!"

Crack! Jesse Rogue tore out another rib bone, held it firmly in his hand, and stabbed at Zhang Yang. As the rib bone blew up, everyone was inflicted with massive damage values.

"I have never seen a boss that loves torturing himself so much!" Han Ying Xue said.

"He's hurting himself, and we are the collaterals! Better not provoke a hard forced 'kid'!" Zhang Yang laughed.

Fortunately for them, Jesse Rogue had no other skills, other than these explosive ribs. But, this one attack was already powerful enough to give Zhang Yang and the ladies a boatload of problems! Not only did it force Han Ying Xue to heal everyone frantically, even Zhang Yang was forced to activate his {Vanguard's Aggression} and {Sacrifice} on the ladies who were low on health, or could not be healed in time by Han Ying Xue. The party was already barely hanging on, if the boss added any new tricks, it would be over!

This boss was neither hard nor easy!

It was easy because Zhang Yang and the ladies did not have to pick and roll, or apply any tactical formations. On the other hand, the rib bone attacks left them no room for any evasive measures! Everyone could only stand still and endure the damage! Furthermore, the attack of the boss was extremely painful and consistent! One small mistake could cause the entire party to be wiped out as well!

It had been completely turned into a battle of pure firepower! So, Zhang Yang and the ladies could only hold on and do their best on the boss.

90%, 80%, 70%... the health bar of Jesse Rogue decreased rapidly, as rapidly as Han Ying Xue's. Without the [Level 4 Mana Potion (Grade 10 Transmutation)] that recovered 7,500 mana points in one go, and the Level 4 {Recovery Aura} of Daffodil Daycream, Han Ying Xue would have already fallen back, and the entire party would have been wiped out!

"Quickly! We must go faster!" Han Ying Xue cried out.

Her vulgar panting was like the mating calls of a wildcat. Fortunately for Zhang Yang, he had already 'released' once before he logged into the game, or else he might have lost it and shouted out into the sky like a 'colorful wolf'!

There was nothing special about this battle at all. It was just simple but rough. There were no tactics or whatsoever, to begin with! All they could do was to focus on channeling their firepower at the boss until the battle ends! However, the tension of the battle was extremely high for Zhang Yang and the ladies. No one would want to be wiped out, while at the brink of slaying the boss! So none of them wanted to make any mistakes and get wiped out, only to repeat the entire battle again! That would be infuriating beyond words!

None of them held back on consuming their potions. All of them were gulping their [Level 4 Healing Potions (Grade 10 Transmutation)] like mad as they were battling the boss. The moment their cool down periods for Potion usage were over, they would quickly consume another [Level 4 Healing Potion (Grade 10 Transmutation)]. There was no time at all to hesitate, in order to survive the boss battle! Their health had never been full since the battle began, not even with all the crazy buffs and healing!

60%, 50%, 40% ... the health bar of the boss was getting lesser and lesser by the seconds!

There were no other words to describe this battle, other than continuous slashing and continuous healing!

30%, 20%!

Here came the 'Slaughtering Stage' of the boss battle, and the damage output of the entire party was increased by a notch, which increased their speed in bringing down the health bar of the boss at a whole new level of efficiency!

10%! 6%! 1%!

Finally, Jesse Rogue let out a miserable scream, and his glowing skeletal body went dim, and then he collapsed onto the ground heavily. The boss dropped 3 pieces of equipment after he died. One of it was a pair of snowy white gloves, while the other was a darker red long knife with an ancient sense of style on it, and last but not least, a golden crown.

The five of them let out a breath of relief as they finally completed a restless battle! They finally made it through!

As usual, Wei Yan Er went up to pick up the coins and the equipment dropped by the boss, with a joyful smile on her face. The little girl picked up the gloves first, and then she posted the attributes of the equipment on the party channel.

[Silver Silk Gloves] (Yellow-Gold, Cloth Armor)

Defense: 8

Vitality: 168

Intelligence: 151

Spirit: 67

Equip: Increases 2% damage and healing effect.

Equip: Increases Maximum Mana Points by 500 points.

{Unidentified}

Required Level: 100

"So, from Level 100 onwards, the attributes of the equipment are much more incredible, I'm assuming!" Han Ying Xue stepped forth and took the snowy white pair of gloves. She put them on and looked at her left and right hands, saying, "The basic attributes didn't change much, but the additional special effects really do have some kick in it! These gloves are almost as good as a Level 90 Violet-Platinum equipment!"

"Well, the normal monsters in the Chaos Realm are very strong to begin with. So if the developer did not power up the standards of the equipment, then most of the players will get blockaded at the Chaos Realm! The one factor that supports a game are the players, so it's actually wise for the game developers to be considerate for their players." Zhang Yang surmised, as he slid the gloves into his inventory.

Although this pair of gloves was almost as good as a Level 90 Violet-Platinum equipment, but there is still a difference between the two tiers. Han Ying Xue and Daffodil Daydream already had Violet-Platinum tiered gloves, so of course they would have no interest in it. Zhang Yang could only see it in the form of coins in his Little Merchandise Shop.

Wei Yan Er went to pick the dark red long ancient looking knife. The handle of the knife was molted with stains, and they looked like bloodstains! In 'God's Miracle', there were no differences between a knife and a sword. They were all considered as Swords. Sometimes players could simply wonder, which designer in the game company came up with such a half-assed classification.

[Demon Blade of Death] (Violet-Platinum, Two-Handed Sword)

Attack: 3,020 - 3,620

Attack Interval: 3.8 seconds

DPS: 873

Equip: Increases attack by 10%.

Equip: Increases Critical Rate by 3%.

Equip: After hitting your target, there is 1% to trigger the activation of {Death Rush}, inflicting all enemies within the range of 3X3 meter square with the effect of {The Pain of Death}, causing 1,000 Shadow Damage to the targets in every 3 seconds. Lasts for 15 seconds. The effects of {The Pain of Death} cannot be stack.

{Unidentified}

Required Level: 100

After viewing the special effects of the weapon, Zhang Yang and the ladies were looking at each other, all of them were shocked!

10% increment of attack! 3% increment of Critical Rate! These two special effects already made the weapon ridiculously powerful! It also had an AoE special effect that dealt damage by a DoT basis! Against a large number of monsters, this weapon would be insane!

In other words, this was the two-handed version of [Dark Enigmatic Sword, and the attack of this weapon was so much higher than the [Dark Enigmatic Sword] itself! After all, the [Dark Enigmatic Sword] sort of 'stole' the AoE attack over as it's special effect. But this [Demon Blade of Death] was born with such a ridiculous special effect on its own!

Wei Yan Er was already staring at the weapon with her large glittering eyes, and she quickly said, "I hereby claim this weapon as mine! Haha!"

Zhang Yang laughed at her and said, "Tsk! Do you know how much money people are willing to pay for this weapon if we are selling it out? Look at the attributes, the additional damage that it offers, and the additional Critical Rate that it offers! Look at it's overpowered, oppressive special effect! People would be willing to spend millions of dollars to buy it! You sure you don't want that money?"

"You're so miserly, noob tank! It's just a few million!" Wei Yan Er hugged the [Demon Blade of Death] as tightly as she could, as if she was worrying that Zhang Yang would jump over and snatch the weapon away from her.

The four of them started laughing at the little girl, as it was really rare for her to actually think of other people being stingy! It was such a rare scene!

Other than the little girl, none of them could wield a two-handed weapon, so the [Demon Blade of Death] was Wei Yan Er's to take.

Lastly, it was time to review the golden crown.

[Brilliant Crown] (Violet-Platinum, Leather Armor)

Defense: 48

Vitality: 704

Strength: 202

Agility: 463

Equip: Increases 5% damage and healing effect.

Equip: Increases Maximum Health Point by 1,000 points.

{Unidentified}

Required Level: 100

"Ice Queen, looks like you've struck the jackpot. This is one fine piece of Leather Armor!" Zhang Yang passed the [Brilliant Crown] over the Sun Xin Yu.

"So true! Congratulation, Sin Yu!" Daffodil Daydream praised and congratulated her.

Sun Xin Yu was satisfied with her new crown. So, she kept it in her inventory for the moment, as she still needed to grind her level up by 5 levels before she was eligible to equip it.

Other than the 3 fine pieces of equipment, Jesse Rogue also 'gifted' them with a [Middle-tier Aura Stone]. This dungeon seemed to really hand out [Middle-tier Aura Stones]. As they had acquired one [Middle-tier Aura Stone] from each of the boss, the total tally had already reached 3 [Middle-tier Aura Stones]. This time, the stone was given to Han Ying Xue, increasing the survivability of the party even further.

However, time was already up right before they were about to open up the entrance to the fifth floor of Treasure Cove. Before they could actually open up the entrance, they were already teleported out from the realm.

Zhang Yang was not in a hurry to enter the fifth floor, because all of their {Dance of the Heaven and Earth}, and some Super Skills were still on cool down period. So, it would be wiser for them to wait it out before going back to the fifth floor of the Treasure Cove. After all, they were about to engage with the Final boss of the Treasure Cove, it would really be disadvantageous to go in without their Super Skills ready.

While preparing for the final battle in the Treasure Cove, Zhang Yang gave a call to Luo Xin Yan in an attempt to pry about the details concerning Liu Wei and One Sword Stroke. After talking for awhile, Zhang Yang only found out that Luo Xin Yan had only expanded her appetite. She no longer had the intentions of being an underground lover of Liu Wei. She was aiming to become a rich and aboveboard wife now! It was so much better than being an underground mistress!

Liu Wei was clearly never going to marry her on paper. One Sword Stroke was different. Although he was also a spoiled rich kid in a powerful family, he was not as lowly as Liu Wei! Luo Xin Yan managed to seize this opportunity. She would often reveal some classified business information that she got from Liu Wei, straight to One Sword Stroke. That was how the family business of One Sword Stroke, the Sky and Ocean Electronics was able to earn so much money!

Furthermore, Luo Xin Yan was really good in bed. With her skills, she could definitely 'enrapture' him, until he lost sight of everything! That was most probably how she made him her little b*tch, fulfilling all her needs and wants.

So apparently, Luo Xin Yan was willing to accept the call, only because she wanted revenge. Previously, Zhang Yang had humiliated her so much during the interview. So, she called back and said, "Zhang Yang, do you still remember when I took off everything and stood naked in front of you? You actually didn't want my body, even after I had shoved my pussy straight up at you. Now that I'm about to become a wife to the boss of a very prominent company, do you regret not f*cking me up when you had the chance?"

"But there's nothing left to say, even if you regret it now! Don't ever call me, or I'll call the police!"

Pak! She hung up right after she finished her words.

Zhang Yang could only shake his head again and again without saying a word. Still, he had to give it to her. She had played her cards well. She definitely had sharp and unique eyes, to actually mark One Sword Stroke as her 'target' in the first place. Indeed, One Sword Stroke was the best of the best in {{God's Miracle}}. He was earning about 400 million to 500 million a year, inclusive of all sponsorship fees and endorsement fees throughout the year. He was also the spokesman for his own company, even before his company was successful. So he was considered as one of the 'real deal' in the business industries!

Unfortunate for him, One Sword Stroke had always been oppressed by Zhang Yang in this life. Well, he had constantly been the 'permanent runner-up,' for more than half a year already, because of Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang logged into the game again and went straight to the Auction House to purchase a large number of [Herbs, restocking the [Potions] for the upcoming battles. This time, Zhang Yang got lucky! Finally, he has found the recipe for the [Zombie Potion]! So he successfully secured the recipe with 30,000 gold coins in the Auction house.

[Zombie Potion] (Consumable)

Use: If you die when the [Zombie Potion] is still effective, you will be turned into a zombie temporarily to continue the battle. Zombie effect lasts for 30 seconds. After you are turned into a Zombie, you will ignore all attacks, but you can be controlled with Status Restriction Skill. The effects of [Zombie Potion] will last for 1 hour.

Chapter 456: Queen Madisha

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhang Yang went straight to the warehouse of his guild, and took out all of the [Zombie Moss, and turned them into tons of [Zombie Potion]. Thanks to his {Alchemist's Intuition}, he had also made some transmuted [Zombie Potions]

The transmuted [Zombie Potions] did not only increase the duration of users being transformed into zombies, they also increased the attack of the users after they are being zombified. So, a [Zombie Potion] with Grade 1 Transmutation only gave an additional 5% attack to a player, when the player is zombified. For every increasing level of transmutation, the damage of the zombified players would increase by 5%. So, the highest amount of attack value a zombified player could get would be a total of 50%. This meant that when a player is using a [Zombie Potion] with the highest grade of transmutation, an additional 50% attack would be added on top of the basic attack of the player. That was the limit to it since the highest transmutation grade was only Level 10.

Unfortunately, the [Zombie Potions] that Zhang Yang had made were all Grade 1 and Grade 2 Transmutation only, which could only provide players an additional of 5%, 10% attack. The best he had at the moment were Grade 4s, and he only had managed to make 2 of them.

But it would still be a gain no matter what. It doesn't matter who dies in a battle, as long as they had consumed a [Zombie Potion] before they die, they could all continue to attack, or heal for the next 30 seconds! Zhang Yang and his party were about to engage in battle with the final boss! Now that they have these [Zombie Potions, it would surely be much easier for them to clear out the final floor and slay the boss!

After the cool down periods of their respective {Dance of the Heaven and Earth} were all over, Zhang Yang recruited the ladies back to the party and activated the last entry chance of the [Dimensional Key].

Pak!

Soon after Zhang Yang and the ladies entered the portal before them, the [Dimensional Key] began to crack a little, and the key began to disperse into dust and flew across the air.

If they are unable to slay the boss within the remaining 12 hours in the realm, Zhang Yang would never have to chance to come back to this realm, ever again! And since that this quest was a one-time quest, this quest, which could possibly grant him the [Ancient Godly Weapon, Meteor Sword, shall forever remain forever incomplete, and no one else would ever get the chance to complete it as well!

Rushing through the corridors of the palace and entering the Treasure Cove chamber, the timer started counting down from 12 hours.

Going through the fourth floor until the end, Zhang Yang and the ladies had came well-prepared this time. They had purchased [Torches] this time. The entire floor was really dark and they had zero visibility. It would be wiser to use the [Torches] and grant them limited vision. Each of them held a [Torch] in their hands, and they split up to search for the entrance to the fifth floor. As they had already cleared the entire floor, they did not have to worry about monsters ambushing anymore. In just a brief moment, they had found their way to the fifth floor.

As they walked down the staircases before them that led them deeper down to the Treasure Cove, they saw the entrance to the fifth floor, and they were eager to see what lay beyond that. Everyone was struck with awe, and their breaths were taken away for a second at what lay before their eyes! Yes, this is what a real Treasure Chamber is supposed to look like! Every corner of the floor was filled with mountains of a cryptocrystalline variety of silicas, diamonds the size of fists, chests filled with jewelry and accessories! If this was the reality, even the richest folks of the world would feel shameful!

On top of that, there was a long rack of weapons along one of the walls of the chamber, and a variety of weapons, with weird looking designs. Every single one of the weapons radiated holy auras that were awe-inspiring! Just from the looks of it, these weapons seemed to at least be of legendary grades!

Right beside the long weapon rack, there was another equipment rack. It was stacked with heavy armors, leather armors, cloth armors, all types of armors and equipment! It was a marvelous scene to look at!

Zhang Yang tried to pick up one weapon from the weapon rack, and he had the shock of his life! The weapon could be equipped!

[Dragon Slayer] (Mythical, One-Handed Axe)

Attack: 4,135 - 4,735

Attack Interval: 2.8 seconds

DPS: 1,584

Equip: Increases 20% damage dealt.

Equip: After striking your target, there is a 10% rate of increasing your strength by 1,000 points, lasts for 10 seconds.

Required Level: 110

Special addition: Reduces Required Level by 20 Levels.

Special restriction: Can only be used in the Treasure Cove, it will disappear once taken outside.

A Mythical tier weapon! Zhang Yang lost his breath for a moment there. All of the equipment and weapons could be equipped! Although they could not be taken out from Treasure Cove, but at the least, Zhang Yang and the ladies can take advantage of these equipment and weapons when battling the final boss!

The four ladies had also discovered that they could use the equipment. They were equally stunned.

Wei Yan Er simply grabbed hold of some leather armor pieces and heavy armors pieces, and then she equipped them up to check them out, "Wow! These are really some fine and powerful equipment! Let's stay here, and never leave this Treasure Cove, forever!"

Zhang Yang laughed and said, "It won't matter whether if they are White-Wood or Celestial tier equipment, if we can't get them out from Treasure Cove! So stop dreaming, and pick the best combinations possible, and get going. We have a boss to slay!"

The five of them went up and picked the equipment and weapons according to their Classes.

Of course, Zhang Yang would naturally pick the [Dragon Slayer] as his main weapon, while he also picked another Mythical tier shield as his secondary equipment.

[Shield of the Faceless Corrupter] (Mythical, Shield)

Defense: 3,960

Vitality: 3,880

Equip: Absorbs 1,428 damage when hit.

Equip: While being struck, there is a 10% rate of removing 100 defense points from the target.

Equip: Increases Maximum Health Points by 10,000.

Required Level: 110

Special addition: Reduces Required Level by 20 Levels.

Special restriction: Can only be used in the Treasure Cove, it will disappear after leaving the Treasure Cove.

After switching to the newly acquired Mythical Tier equipment and weapon, the total health points of Zhang Yang had reached a total of 219,820 points! His attack had reached 9,412 - 10,012!

Similarly, Han Ying Xue and the ladies had also experienced large improvements on their stats! Although they could not equip shields, and their health points, could not be compared to the health points of a tanker, but their health points had exceeded 150,000 points, with support from the {Vitality Aura}!

Now, the attack power, the survival capabilities and the healing capabilities of the party had sky-rocketed! Instead of feeling joyful, Zhang Yang was worried, "This is just too convenient to be true, the system would never give us so much help out of the blue. I'm going to assume that the final boss is incredibly powerful and difficult to deal with!"

"Well, that's true! The system suddenly giving each of us a Mythical Tier weapon for free is already suspicious enough! The final boss must be at least a Mythical Tier boss!" Daffodil Daydream nodded and said.

The five of them recalled the final battle on the Island of the Sacred One. The appearance of a Level 110 Mythical Servant boss had really given them a hell of a time. Although the boss was only left with about 1,000,000 health points, they already had an extremely difficult time dealing with it with the boss. Of Zhang Yang and Han Ying Xue hadn't used their paired skills {Blizzard Sky} and {Lunar's Dew}, they might have even failed their quest then.

The fear still lingered!

"We have no choice now. Even if there's a sea of fire and blades, we can only endure the pain, and charge through them!" Zhang Yang waved his battle axe and said, "Let's go and have a look at our final boss, see what kind of monster is it this time. Maybe it has 3 heads and 6 arms! Haha!"

"Even if it has 6 hears and 12 arms, I still have the confidence of chopping its heads off, period!" Wei Yan Er was filled with pride and confidence, as she thumped on her flat chest and said.

Zhang Yang could not help but laugh at her, "Little girl, I think we have warned you many times already... if you really want them to 'bloom' nicely, stop hammering down your chest already! They're going to be concaved in at this rate!"

"You stinky noob tank!" Wei Yan Er stuck her tongue out at Zhang Yang, and turned her head away from Zhang Yang furiously, with a humph.

The five of them proceeded forward. There were no monsters at all on the fifth floor. It was strangely quiet and they could only hear their own footsteps. They could not help but to feel a chill down their spines! The four ladies started edging closer to Zhang Yang, making Zhang Yang look like a mother hen 'babysitting' four little chicks!

As they did not have to battle any monsters at all, the five of them arrived at the bottom of the Treasure Cove in about ten minutes. There, they finally encountered the final boss of the dungeon.

[Queen Madisha] (Mythical, Spectre)

Level: 110

HP: 33,000,000

Defense: 4,900

Note: The founder of Imperial Heaven Empire, the great Queen Madisha. She's well known to be full of conspiracies while being a total femme fatale. She can conquer any man with a charming blink. She is the one and only individual to have actually built an empire that united the world!

Madisha was clad in a magnificently glorious, royal robe. She had a crown on her head, and her body was truly hot and curvy. Her waist was so slender that people might be worried of strong winds actually blowing her torso off, snapping her by the waist! Her boobies were truly 'glorious'. Her hips and *ss were finely shaped as well. Although she has already been transformed into a Spectre, but her appearance had not turned skeletal. She still remained as a beautiful and sexy female human, with a face that lived up to her description, there was an unexplained sense of seduction that mesmerized people, especially men, the moment they laid eyes on her!

She sat on a chair in front of a dressing table, with her back facing Zhang Yang and the ladies, as she combed her long straight hair in black with a very well refined comb. Everyone could see her pretty and mesmerizing face in the mirror.

Well, beauty is also a deadly weapon, and seduction is an even better poison. If Zhang Yang had not been staying with beauties like Han Ying Xue and Sun Xin Yu, he might have fallen under the 'spell' of this seductive queen, falling to his knees to submit himself to her!

Han Ying Xue felt a sting in her ego, "Her ass is too huge! And her thighs are really thick! Her boobs must be fake!"

The other three ladies nodded to express their agreements as well! Because as pretty women themselves, it was just affronted to them!

"Silly Yu, go now! Burst the fake boobs of that thousand-year-old b*tch!" Han Ying Xue shoved Zhang Yang's back.

"What the hell! You're such a hoodlum, a female hoodlum!" Zhang Yang took up his axe and charged at the boss.

The aggro range of Madisha was really vast. When Zhang Yang was about 30 meters from where she stood, she had already detected Zhang Yang and stood up from her chair. As she turned around, a lock of black hair shot out at the direction of Zhang Yang like a spear!

Zhang Yang quickly raised up his shield and 'Chiang'! The long hair clashed into the shield and let out a loud and sharp sound!

"What a handsome and strong man!" Madisha charged towards Zhang Yang and as she grabbed hold onto another lock of hair in her hand, she gave a small flick and the lock of hair became as hard as a spear made of something metallic! She shot the 'hair spear' straight at Zhang Yang's eye!

Zhang Yang was only able to prevent the spear from striking that vital part. The 'hair spear' still nicked his face, and blood started flowing.

Sun Xin Yu and the ladies surrounded the boss and began to launch their assault on Madisha. However, although they had already switched their equipment to Mythical Tier and gained a tremendous amount of strength, the damage that the boss received was still substantially reduced, as the level of the boss was at least tens of times higher than their levels!

"I'm so lonely! You look strong, come, ravage me!" Madisha stuck out her moist, pink tongue as she gazed at Zhang Yang with glistening eyes, trying to tease Zhang Yang. Her attacks were totally contradicting her words, as she lashed out at him at full force! She coiled and lashed her hair spear at Zhang Yang, and every stab was not far from Zhang Yang's throat, ears, nose, and other vital parts!

"What the f*ck! What a sick woman!" Zhang Yang tried his best to continue evading the blows. Although players would not die immediately even if they were struck in their vital spots, however, if their throats are pierced, players would not be able to drink [Potions]. If the eyes of the players are stabbed, then they would not be able to see. There will be about 10 seconds of 'recovery period'!

These new effects were supposed to be gradually made available for the players to experience, but who knew that they would already have a taste of it in the Treasure Cove!

"Little man, are you worried that your stick is not large enough to satisfy me?" Madisha teased Zhang Yang with a ridiculously lustful tone, as she gazed at him hungrily with glazed eyes and a tongue that lolled over her lower lip.

Chapter 457: Bloody-Shadow Strike

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"... What kind of queen is this! What a shameless b*tch!" Daffodil Daydream had finally lost it.

Han Ying Xue sent a private message over to Zhang Yang saying, "Silly Yu, the boss is questioning your capability!"

Zhang Yang laughed, and replied, "Should I be offended? Well, you've seen how capable I am!"

"You hoodlum!" Han Ying Xue blushed, with a slight frown on her face as she rolled her eyes at Zhang Yang.

Madisha sniffed the air a little and revealed a shocked face, and suddenly laughed knowingly, "Huh? These 4 girls are still virgins? Little man, seriously?"

"Cough!" Zhang Yang almost choked in his own saliva, and he could not help but sigh, "This boss could actually sniff out your virginities! This game is that intrusive huh? Awesome! Though, who knows if it's real or not!" He turned his head to look at Sun Xin Yu, Han Ying Xue and Daffodil Daydream.

"You hoodlum! What are you looking at!" Han Ying Xue snapped at him.

"What a shameless boss!" Daffodil Daydream was also blushing.

Sun Xin Yu did not even say a word, but she began to lunge out rapidly, with the two daggers in her hands, like a ferocious t-rex. Obviously, she wasn't calm at the moment!

"Haha! Very good! The blood of the virgins can be used for my facial care, and little man can stay to rid me of my loneliness!" Madisha wetted her glistening crimson lips with her tongue, making them look even more 'sexy'.

"No wonder Imperial Heaven's Empire perished in the past. With a whore of a queen like this, all the people of that empire were like grass by the roadside!" Zhang Yang was shouting in rage.

"No wonder the 4 princes looked totally different! I wonder, how many 'dads' were involved in 'producing' them!"

"Well, the number of 'dad' involved is still a small issue. Judging from their weird-*ss looks, I'm afraid that their 'dads' might not even be human! This boss has really 'heavy' tastes! Haha!"

"You bastards!" Madisha suddenly let out a cry of rage as the words from Zhang Yang and the ladies provoked her. As she threw out her hair spear at Zhang Yang, a powerful impact instantly blew Zhang Yang off his feet. Giving no opportunity for Zhang Yang to regain his strength and get back on his feet, the boss immediately lashed out again, and impaled him to the ground!

"Zhang Yang --" the four ladies were screaming his name at the same time, "Are you alright?"

"If you got stabbed in the middle of your chest, would you still be alright? There's a freaking hole in my chest! Argh!" Although Zhang Yang had already set the pain-receptor function to the lowest, he was still struck by an excruciating pain, and he had to grit his teeth to prevent himself from shouting out anymore. Without hesitation, he swung his axe at the hair spear that had just pierced his chest!

Although the hair spear of the boss was really sharp, it was still made of hair after all. How could mere hair be compared to a Mythical tier weapon! The axe sliced cleanly through the hair!

Zhang Yang leaped to his feet immediately after that, but his chest still had a huge hole in it, and fresh blood was oozing out right of the chest wound! He realized that he now had an additional negative effect!

[Bleed: Loses 5,000 health points in every 3 seconds. This effect cannot be canceled by any defense skills or damage reduction skills. Lasts for 15 seconds.

"Blood, fresh blood, look at that, just spectacularly beautiful!" Madisha was drunk in ecstasy as she sang those words. She raised her right hand up, and her hair started to form together again, and it eventually formed into another hair spear! She sent it towards Zhang Yang again!

Zhang Yang raised up his axe, and slashed at the hair, "You ugly old b*tch! I'm going to slice your hair clean off your head for what you did to me!"

"Would she actually get bald from that? Hahaha!" Wei Yan Er burst into laughter.

Madisha had always highly regarded her own beauty. Now that she had been called 'ugly old b*tch' by Zhang Yang and 'bald' by Wei Yan Er, of course she would be enraged until she screamed and cried.

"Demonic Hair Barrage"!

As the boss let out tears of rage, she also cried out a skill name. Madisha's black hair began to curl around, like snakes intertwining around together, forming black arrows made of hair, all around her head, before all of them were shot out into the surroundings, in all possible directions!

These hair arrows were unavoidable. Zhang Yang and the ladies were caught in the attack. They were skewered by the arrows as they desperately tried to evade. This was how oppressive a Mythical boss could be!

Everyone was inflicted with a damage of about 40,000 points and they were also inflicted with {Bleed} effects. Zhang Yang's first {Bleed} effect was still kicking and ticking, so he was inflicted with a second layer of {Bleed}, and the negative effects started stacking up. Now, Zhang Yang was losing a total of 10,000 health points by every passing second!

"Mythical bosses are no laughing matter! This is one heck of a strong and powerful boss!" Everyone was shaken up. Each of them had to activate their skills to slow down the effect of {Bleed} as they needed to reduce the stress that Han Ying Xue was experiencing right now.

But that was the first 'dish' of the boss battle! Just a brief moment after she activated her {Demonic Hair Barrage}, she slammed her palm against the ground, which was made of green jade. As she twisted her hand, it broke through the jade and sunk into the ground. With a powerful grip, the ground trembled a little and she actually pulled up a large part of the ground, like lifting up a blanket from a bed, without removing it completely!

Madisha let out a deafening scream as she began to shake the ground with her left hand that currently buried beneath the surface of the ground. The entire ground shook, sending waves of the shattered rocks that shot up into the sky. The scene was extremely magnificent!

It was like a 7.0 magnitude earthquake! Zhang Yang and the ladies were shaken up to the point that they could not remain standing. At the same time, the shattered rocks from the ground were launched at them, and each small pebble of these shattered rocks inflicted a damage of about 10,000 or 20,000 points!

The apocalyptic scene lasted for about 10 seconds before Madisha retracted her left hand. Then, she went back to using her right hand, forming up more hair spears which she directed at Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang was so terrified that he quickly activated his {Shield Wall}! Although he had removed his Titan Set Armor to wear some Mythical tiered equipment, he had still kept his [Titan Chest Plate] equipped. This particular piece of equipment was really awesome in it's own way! With the two special effects, this piece of equipment was almost as good as a Mythical Tier equipment!

With his {Shield Wall} activated, Zhang Yang's health bar was regenerating by 10% for every second that passed. Currently, he had about 220,000 Maximum Health Points, that meant he would heal about 22,000 health points per second! This amount of healing was already higher than the healing capabilities of Han Ying Xue!

Although the attack of the boss was really powerful in a sense, once Zhang Yang activates his {Shield Wall}, every single attack from the boss becomes a gentle touch. As the boss delivered what that was possibly her most fearsome combo yet, Zhang Yang's HP was actually increasing, instead of decreasing.

"Little man, you're really tenacious! You're 'lasting' longer than I expected! I like it!" Madisha was grinning coldly as she sent more of her hair spears at Zhang Yang, one after another. Her attacks were really fast and deadly!

Zhang Yang laughed out loud and said, "I'm not a 'quick' gunner, lasting for 30 minutes is a piece of cake for me!"

Han Ying Xue heard him, and she immediately blushed, because she had experienced it firsthand herself, witnessing his immense stamina! She was embarrassed, yet joyful at the same time, a sense of pride filling her heart. But, she did not dare let down her guard even for a second in healing up the party. Other than Zhang Yang who had his {Shield Wall}, which kept him practically immune from all attacks at the moment, the other party members were losing their health, like crazy! They were not far from death! If the boss were to activate another wave of {Demonic Hair Barrage}, they would definitely be instantly-killed!

The battle continued on for a brief moment before Madisha let out another deafening cry. She activated her {Demonic Hair Barrage}, and shot her hair arrows into the surroundings. Her hair literally filed up every corner of the area!

As the hair sliced through everyone, the five of them really hit by 'jackpots'! The air was red with the mist of blood, and every one of them simply looked gory! Daffodil Daydream was worst off. One of her eyes was skewered by one of the hair arrows! She did not just lose a lot of blood, but she was half blind! She could not even aim at the boss properly, and her attacks were missing!

Next up was Wei Yan Er. A hair arrow had went straight through her chest! Fortunately for her, although the wound looked really nasty, it did not affect the attack power of the player. Everything was just a visual effect.

Zhang Yang shook his head and said, "This boss is really nasty! The little girl is already having trouble developing. Yet, the boss still wants to damage that area! Sigh, this is so inhumane!"

Wei Yan Er immediately screamed and whined!

Madisha became more ferocious by the passing seconds. She began to act even more vigorously upon Zhang Yang! As she continuously struck Zhang Yang's armor, the sound of her hair spear clashing on his armor could almost make a drum kit!

Suddenly, the boss sent her hair spear right through Zhang Yang's chest. Although Zhang Yang was inflicted with damage, the part of the royal robe that covered her butt suddenly got corroded! A large hole quickly expanded, and part of her fair *ss was revealed through that hole!

Zhang Yang was shocked when he saw what happened! "Huh?" Then, he realized that the boss had been afflicted with a new negative effect: Defense Decay (1 Layer), reduces 100 points of defense.

This was actually the special effect of the [Shield of the Faceless Corrupter, having a 10% rate to trigger a reduction of 100 defense points. But, no one would have thought the visual effects of this debuff would look like this! The developer of the game had to gall to actually 'expose' the boss so blatantly!

Zhang Yang was pleased to see that, so he laughed and said, "Well, this is the real deal when it comes to 'Cripple Defense'! If the {Cripple Defense} of the warriors did this, then, when people use 5 layers of {Cripple Defense}, tsk tsk tsk! It would surely be interesting to have that! Hahaha!"

"Shameless!"

"Pervert!"

The ladies scolded him.

Madisha was not bothered at all, having her butt exposed like that. She continued to wield her hair spear like an experienced general in a battle field. Every single blow from her spear was striking not far from Zhang Yang's vital points.

But, the special effect of {Defense Decay} was triggered repeatedly! Zhang Yang must be extremely lucky, today! The magnificent looking, royal robe of Madisha began to be filled with more holes. After just a brief moment, the royal robe had become a fish net, instead of a royal robe! Holes littered all over the entire robe!

Madisha let out a soft roar, and then she moved her left hand, and grabbed hold a fistful of fabric. With a strong tug, she tore off the entire royal robe! It was already ruined, completely, and it infuriated her so. By taking the robe away, the boss exposed her fair, naked body! The heavenly, blessed body of the boss was definitely a marvelous creation that exceeded nature. The parts that were supposed to be big could not be grasped entirely in one palm, while the parts that were supposed to be small could comfortably fit in a hand!

Annoyingly, mosaic boxes covered up the upper part and the lower part of the boss' ' very important' parts!

"Mosaic-boxed movies and games are the reason why the human race is still underdeveloped!" Zhang Yang let out a miserable cry into the sky!

Although Madisha was battling the five of them with her naked body exposed, there was no sense of shame on her face at all. Instead, she was gazing at Zhang Yang sleazily. She would even slap her own curvy ass, winking at Zhang Yang while saying, "Young man, don't you want to release it in me? Once, maybe?"

Although this is a virtual game, the players were well immersed into the game, thanks to the current wonder of Virtual Reality. These overly realistic effects of the game might just make people forget, that this is just game sometimes! Instead, it would fool people into thinking that it was the second reality!

Zhang Yang felt a rush, and his heart rate shot up. Fortunately, he had more control over his brains, than his 'gun'. If he really was a man with an insatiable lust, then he would already have slept with all his sexy secretaries, and his beautiful models over and over again! As for Zhang Yang, he was happy to let his eyes roam more than his 'gun'. He would only sleep with the women he liked, like Han Ying Xue and Sun Xin Yu.

"Hahaha! My will is strong! Are you trying to seduce me? You're way out of your league!" Zhang Yang laughed, as he continued to swing his axe at the boss!

"You must be an 'incompetent' man! No real men in the world can possibly resist my charm! And there never will be!" Madisha let out an angry roar as her eyes began to glowed red. Likewise, the hair spear in her hands instantly turned bloody red! "{Bloody-Shadow Strike}!"

The spear struck!

Zhang Yang raised his shield high up as his instincts kicked in. He activated his {Block} reflexively. But, the spear of the boss was unstoppable! It actually went straight through the Mythical Tier shield and right into Zhang Yang's chest, and once again, nailing Zhang Yang to the ground!

'-235,160!'

'Ding! You died!'

'Ding! You are resurrected because of {Rise Anew}!'

In just an instant, Zhang Yang experienced the sensation of being alive, to being dead, then from being dead, to being alive again! Holy sheet! Even with his {Block} activated, he could not block against the {Bloody-Shadow Strike} from the boss. If it weren't for Han Ying Xue's {Rise Anew}, Zhang Yang would have been dead, and the rest of the party members would have followed him to the graveyard!

That must be the ultimate skill of the boss! That was why the skill {Block}, which can be used every 6 seconds, could not block against this attack!

"Silly Yu, you still had about 160,000 health points before the boss struck you with her ultimate skill right? So, what really happened? How did you die right after one hit?" when facing an insta-kill, it did not matter how capable a healer is, there would be no room to even start healing in the first place! Han Ying Xue could only stare in shock at Zhang Yang when he was being instant-killed, she hated this kind of situation the most as she could not do anything.

"The basic attack of that ultimate attack was about 300,000 points. That attack still struck me with about 240,000 damage, even with my defense!" Zhang Yang grit his teeth, thinking about it. His current Maximum Health Point was about 220,000 points, he would not survive the attack of the boss, even if he had full health!

It seems that the hardest challenge of this boss battle was finding a way to survive the {Bloody-Shadow Strike}.

Up till now, Zhang Yang and his party had taken out a total of 5,000,000 health points of the boss. It did seem to be a lot, by the looks of it, but Madisha was a Mythical boss with a Maximum Health of 30,000,000 points! So 5,000,000 is just one portion out of six, which was actually lesser than 20%!

Two minutes later, Madisha's eyes started glowing red again, it was time for the boss to lash out with her second {Bloody-Shadow Strike}!

Zhang Yang took a look at his own health bar, and his saw that he still had about 180,000 health points left. After making a calculated decision, he activated his {Last Vigor}, boosting his health points up to 243,314/ 286,120!

'-238,342!'

The spear of Madisha once again went right through Zhang Yang's shield and stabbed straight into Zhang Yang's chest! The strike was so mighty, that no words could describe it's power!

{Berserker's Heal}!

'286,120!'

Zhang Yang healed himself back to his full health state in just an instant, and he started retaliating with ferocity!

"This was the reason why the system gave us so many Mythical equipment before the boss battle! Without these Mythical equipment to support and boost our health bars, even though guildmaster's equipment was on par, it would still have not been enough to go up against a Mythical boss!" Daffodil Daydream let out a sigh.

The Maximum Health of Zhang Yang, before he switched his equipment with the Mythical Tier equipment was about 90,000 points. Even if he activated his {Last Vigor}, he would still be instantly-killed by the boss' {Bloody-Shadow Strike}. Furthermore, a mere 90,000 health points could only last against 3 hits of the boss, as each of the boss's attack inflicted about 40,000 damage! If Han Ying Xue healed him just a little slower during the battle, Zhang Yang would have died as well! So, be it the ultimate skill of the boss, or the regular attacks of the boss, Zhang Yang would hardly survive, with 90,000 health points only!

Zhang Yang had already activated his {Shield Wall} and {Last Vigor}, he had activated the special effect of his equipment [Heart of the Death Knight, in order to stay alive against the assaults of the boss! Fortunately for him, Zhang Yang had a long HP bar and rage point bar. His {Shield Wall} cooled down in 3 minutes, which allowed him to repeatedly use it in relatively short bursts. Therefore, he could spam his {Shield Wall} twice within one cycle, before he repeats the entire process again!

Normally, the tanker would put their Skill Points into their {Block}, because of the skill {Block} was the most practical skill that a tanker could wish for! This dungeon had a restriction whereby only players below Level 100 were eligible to enter. So, regular players would only have 9 Skill Points in hand, which allowed players to elevate one of the skills to the max level. After adding all their Skill Points onto their {Block}, naturally they would not be able to add one single Skill Point on their {Shield Wall}. So, if players ever step foot into this dungeon without increasing the level of their {Shield Wall}, they would cry miserably when they find out about this.

However, Zhang Yang had earned at least 26 Skill Points throughout the game up till now. Not only could he upgrade his {Block} and {Warrior's Will} to their max level, he could also upgrade his {Shield Wall} to Level 9, which was only one level short of full mastery!

Therefore, only the best among the best party, in all eight servers would be able to clear this special dungeon!

Chapter 458: Five Floors, All Clear!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Although Madisha was very agressive, Sun Xin Yu and the other three ladies were not made of mushy papers! Even though their levels were tens of levels lower than the boss, and their attacks had been weakened due to the level gap penalty, they managed to perform outstandingly with the Mythical equipment, and were dishing out a decent amount of firepower! The health bar of the boss plummeted rapidly by every passing second!

This was indeed an extremely difficult battle for all of them. The health bar of the boss was just too long, and everyone in the party felt the massive stress knowing that none of them could afford a tiny mistake. The tanker could not fall, the healer could not fail, and the DPS players were a must in order to bring down the boss, and claim victory over this boss battle! One DPS player short would delay the battle by about 4 to 5 minutes, which would be sufficient for the boss to 'have fun' and wipe them all out!

The battle progressed for an agonizing 13 minutes. The health bar of the boss had finally been reduced down to 20%! It was finally entering the 'Slaughtering State'!

Without the need for Zhang Yang to say so, Sun Xin Yu and the other two DPS role ladies took out their [Power Potion (Grade 10 Transmutation), and gulped them down without any delay! Followed by the activation of their most painful and powerful skills, they began to launch their assaults onto the boss!

"{Demonic Hair Barrage}"!

Madisha screamed in rage, and her hair formed into arrows, which scattered all over the place, like bullets!

The party suffered serious injuries, as they were all inflicted with damage points of about 40,000 each. They were afflicted with {Bleed}, which carried a DoT effect.

"Hahaha! Just die! There's no need to struggle any further!" Madisha let out a manic cry, as she dug her hand into the ground once more, like she did before, shaking the earth as if she was shaking her own blanket in her own bed, causing countless of shattered rocks to shoot up from the ground, giving the five of them some very hard hits!

"Gather to me now, everyone!" Zhang Yang quickly let out a shout, as he had been waiting to activate his {Vanguard's Aggression}. As everyone reached his side, he activated his {Vanguard's Aggression} and reduced the 90% damage that they were bound to receive in the following attack.

However, the {Vanguard's Aggression} would only last for 10 seconds. The moment the effect of this skill was over, the boss swung her head around and arrows made of her hair flew off her head once more, piercing everyone around her until they looked like running, bipedal hedgehogs!

Under the pressure of the boss's assaults, Han Ying Xue had pushed herself beyond her capabilities as she could no longer maintain the high pace of healing and maintaining the health bars of the entire party. Furthermore, Zhang Yang had also used {Rearm} to refresh his skill for immediate use again, so he no longer could activate another {Vanguard's Aggression} right after that. "Argh --" Daffodil Daydream was the first to let out a miserable cry as her health bar was emptied out by the DOT effect of {Bleed}! Then, she collapsed and crumpled to the ground!

However, everyone had already taken a [Zombie Potion]! Daffodil Daydream immediately transformed into a zombie, and crawled right back on her feet! Then, she continued to attack the boss!

Although the [Zombie Potions] that they took were only 'Grade 2 Transmuted', as the effect of the [Zombie Potion] kicked in, the players that are transformed into zombies would be given an additional 10% attack! So the attack power of Daffodil Daydream became much more powerful than her attack power compared to when she was still 'alive'! She used her fireball attacks to bombard the boss as hard as she could!

Just a few seconds later, Wei Yan Er had also joined in the 'zombie party'. As she let out a miserable scream, she collapsed onto the ground and then scrambled right back up to her feet. Then, she took up her giant axe, and began to slash at the boss, as hard as she could!

Sun Xin Yu wasn't able to hold on for much longer either, and in just a brief moment, she collapsed in her own pool of blood and died. As the effect of the [Zombie Potion] kicked in, she also started to crawl back up on her feet like how Daffodil Daydream and Wei Yan Er did. They could still channel their damage output onto the boss for another 30 seconds after their 'deaths'!

10%!

The boss was left with the remaining 3,000,000 health points!

"Use your {Dance of the Heaven and Earth}! Just use them!" Zhang Yang screamed. Because players would only turn into zombies for 30 seconds before they literally 'die'. If they did not use their {Dance of the Heaven and Earth} during this period of time when their attack power was boosted by an additional 10%, it would be a total waste!

Sun Xin Yu, Wei Yan Er and Daffodil Daydream nodded, and they activated their {Dance of the Heaven and Earth} as they were still zombies!

Shoof! Shoof! Shoof!

Three virtual shadows emerged from each of their bodies, and turned into human silhouettes which held heavy swords in their hands, before charging at the boss swiftly. Instantly, shadows of swords flashed across the body of the boss as the health bar of the boss plummeted rapidly!

Although the {Dance of the Heaven and Earth} could not gain any additional enhancements in terms of the basic attack power of the skill itself, or the adding of any values to the player's physical or magical attack, the skill would still get boosted by beneficial effects or potions, based on percentage-figured rates. offered by beneficial effects or potions! Just like the usage of [Power Potion, transmuted [Zombie Potion] and other equipment that provided additional attack in term of percentages, would modify the final attack of the skill.

Mythical equipment could increase damage or healing effects by 70%, and with the additional 10% increase on attack power, provided by the [Zombie Potion (Grade 2 Transmutation), each basic attack of the {Dance of the Heaven and Earth} was increased by up to 18,000 damage! Furthermore, the Chaos Damage attribute was not restricted or weakened by the 'Level Gap Suppression' of the game. So this 18,000 damage would fully strike the boss, and the combo effect of this skill would continue until the skill ends!

The three {Dance of the Heaven and Earth} inflicted a total damage of 540,000 points to the boss! There were also other attacks in the meantime! The health bar of the boss was rapidly reduced down to 2,000,000 points!

"We should be able to do this! Let's pick up the pace and do it even better!"

Because the players are invulnerable when they are in 'Zombie Mode', they needed no healing at all! So Han Ying Xue only had to make sure Zhang Yang and herself do not die before the boss does. This was the ideal moment in time for Han Ying Xue to showcase her power! Activating {Healing Bond}! This skill healed both Zhang Yang and Han Ying Xue herself at the same time!

1,800,000! 1,500,000! 1,100,000!

The boss was already left with less than 4% of health at the moment, but the effect of [Zombie Potion] on Sun Xin Yu and the other two ladies had ended! Each of them collapsed to the ground, for good this time! They would stay dead until they resurrect themselves later.

The assaults of the boss were becoming more aggressive than before! It seemed that her {Bloody-Shadow Strike} no longer had a cool down period, all of a sudden! Right after the boss struck out with her {Bloody-Shadow Strike}, she already activated another {Bloody-Shadow Strike}, a few seconds later!

{Titan's Shield}!

Zhang Yang was forced to activate his final life-saving ultimate skill! He shielded himself with a shield effect that could absorb a total of 300,000 damage, and survived the boss' {Bloody-Shadow Strike}.

"Witch Snow, quickly! Time to use our paired skill! I don't think we can hold on for much longer!" Zhang Yang quickly reached his out for Han Ying Xue's hand.

They grabbed hold of each other. Then, they activated their paired skills - {Blizzard's Sky} and {Luna's Dew}!

At the same instant, the hair spears in Madisha's hand began to turn bloody red again. It was obvious, that she was preparing to launch another {Bloody-Shadow Strike}!

The sky was filled with the beam of the moonlight, and the ground was filled with frost and snow! Snowflakes were drifting slowly down, from the heavens!

'-5,000!'

'-5,000!'

...

The health bar of the boss began to reduce by 5,000 points in each second!

Truth to be told, this set of paired skills wasn't that powerful. The damage per second was only 5,000 points! But the advantage of using the paired skills, was that the users would become invincible throughout the activation of the skills! Not even a boss could interrupt them. It was like giving out a total of 150,000 damage for free! Furthermore, the users of paired skills could also take advantage of the 30 seconds of invincibility to wait out for their skills' cool down periods!

30 seconds later, Madisha was still left with a total of 950,000 health points!

"Die! All of you! Just die!" As her life was about to end soon, Madisha lost her interest in teasing and seducing Zhang Yang, instead, she looked like a mad lady, fighting for her life! She kept on spamming her {Demonic Hair Barrage}! The {Bleed} effect on Zhang Yang and Han Ying Xue had already been eliminated when they went into their invincible forms. But under the crazy bombardment of {Demonic Hair Barrage} from the boss, they were once again inflicted with the [Bleed] effect, and within a brief period of 10 seconds, the [Bleed] effect on them were already stacked up by 4 layers!

Now that Han Ying Xue could no longer keep up in maintaining the health bars of Zhang Yang and herself, she focused on healing Zhang Yang until the last possible second, before she let out a miserable scream and collapsed onto the ground. After that, she was turned into a zombie. She crawled back onto her feet.

"You can stop healing me already and use your {Dance of the Heaven and Earth} now, because I can also become a zombie myself. Try to reduce the health points of the boss by as much as possible!"

"Alright!"

Han Ying Xue activated her {Dance of the Heaven and Earth}, and began to cast the spell for her {Punishment Ray}. Although the magical damage of the {Punishment Ray} wasn't really that high, with all the Mythical Tier equipment supporting Han Ying Xue, the basic damage of the skill was boosted up to 20,000 points!

900,000! 800,000!

"Argh!" without Han Ying Xue healing him up, Zhang Yang could only hold on for another 4 to 5 seconds before he met his 'doom'! But right after collapsing onto the ground, Zhang Yang turned into a zombie and crawled back right up to his feet, and once again engaged in battle with the boss.

"Guildmaster! You can do this!"

"Noob tank! Don't let me down! Or I'll forever look down on you!"

"Do you best."

Sun Xin Yu and the two ladies lay dead on the ground, while they tried to cheer for Zhang Yang through the party channel.

Han Ying Xue rolled her eyes and said, "Why aren't you guys cheering for me?"

"... cousin sis, are you a DPSer in the first place?"

Han Ying Xue kept silent.

It was Zhang Yang's turn to activate his {Dance of the Heaven and Earth}! At the same time, he also activated his {Chaotic Dance of Electric Current}. The scene was so much merrier when two skills were activated at the same time, on the boss!

700,000! 500,000! 300,000! 100,000!

On the crucial moment, the effect of [Zombie Potion] on Han Ying Xue ended! She collapsed to the ground and died! At this crucial moment, Zhang Yang was all alone on the battlefield!

{Killing Cleave}!

'-59,821!'

Zhang Yang began to feel anxious, as he knew that the effect of the [Zombie Potion] on him would only last for another 5 seconds! If he lost this battle now, even though they still had about 11 hours left, all of their super skills that had long cool down periods, had already been used up! Without the {Dance of the Heaven and Earth} and paired skills {Blizzard Sky} and {Luna's Dew}, it would be impossible for them to slay the boss!

So Zhang Yang had to do it, this time!

However, there was a side effect to being 'Invincible' as well! Zhang Yang could no longer acquire Rage Points from receiving damage!

{Block}!

'-5,930!' Damage reflected!

30 Rage Points.

'-11,860!' {Shield Bash}!

The boss still had about 24,000 health points, and the effective time of the [Zombie Potion] was only 2 seconds away from expiring!

At that moment, Han Ying Xue and the ladies had almost forgotten to breathe as they were so anxious to see Zhang Yang making it through. They held their breaths, hoping that Zhang Yang would not fail at the very last moment!

"Noob tank! If you dare to let the boss live this time, I'm going to feed you rat poison!" The encouragement from Wei Yan Er was always so special and 'heartwarming'.

What the hell! This little girl!

Zhang Yang wielded his axe even harder, swiping its edge across the vital spots of the boss and inflicting a damage of more than 15,000 points, boosting Zhang Yang's Rage Bar up to 50 points!

{Destructive Smash}!

'-30,212!'

Right after the strike, the effect of the [Zombie Potion] was over! Zhang Yang collapsed onto the ground on his face, and he just stayed quietly on the ground, dead.

"Argh --" Madisha had also let out a miserable scream, as she fell to her knees, slumping over. The surroundings were peaceful once again.

'Ding! Congratulations for being the First Party in the server to slay a Mythical Tier Boss, your glorious deeds shall be remembered forever in the Historical List of the world. As the leader of the party, please key in the name of your party. Your party name will be published on the Historical List, allowing the world to praise you!

A request to key in the party name popped up in front of Zhang Yang's screen!

"Did we clear it?"

The four ladies were not sure about it. After all, they had not received any system notification like Zhang Yang did.

"Yes! We have cleared it!" Zhang Yang announced it in the party channel, "And, we have gotten another First Clear for an Open World Boss!"

"Oh yeah!" Other than Sun Xin, the ladies cheered in joy.

"So, release your souls and get back to your dead bodies, and start picking them up! This is a real Mythical Tier boss! We're rich!"

The five of them quickly released their souls and began to run all the way back to their dead bodies. But, the graveyard was located in a garden within the city. It took them roughly 20 minutes to get all the way back to the fifth floor of the Treasure Cove!

The moment they were resurrected, there was no time for them to recover back their statuses. All of them were busy picking up all of the items and equipment on the ground as quickly as possible. There is a time limit for the corpse of the boss to remain, before it disappears! If the loot disappears from the ground, then they would all be in 'ruins'! All of their efforts throughout the 5 floors would mean nothing!

Chapter 459: Reward? Rewardsss

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhang Yang stepped up and inserted the now-customary promotional phase into the input box. "Silky Soft Bras! Providing you the best protection for your assets! Lone Desert Smoke."

As such, the server proceeded to announce the victory notification throughout China.

As the rewards, all of them obtained 10 gold coins and 500 Union Reputation points. However, there was no SP rewards but a Luck Attribute point. There was also a Level 4 Gemstone reward which were given, based on the players' main attributes. Naturally, Zhang Yang obtained a Vitality Gemstone.

It did not take long for players throughout China to start an uproar. Under any condition, it would be extremely tough for one to search for a Violet-Platinum boss. And yet, Lone Desert Smoke had managed to take down a Mythical tier boss, with just a party of five! None of that made any sense! Of course, none of them knew about the chamber that was filled with Mythical tiered equipment. They basically had a trial run of Mythical Equipment against a Mythical-tiered boss.

Greensleeves Prince, Sky Shaman, Snow Seeker, and other guild masters who were on friendly terms with Zhang Yang sent their congratulations. One Sword Stroke also sent a rather polite private message. Zhang Yang had a feeling, that perhaps One Sword Stroke wanted to make amends with Zhang Yang.

After replying to a bunch of messages, Zhang Yang set the conversations aside and placed his attention on the boss loot. Even though the party was equipped with full sets of Mythical tiered equipment, they were only available for use within this Treasure Cove. As much as they could dream, the system would never allow them to exit the premises with the equipment.

As the final boss of this place, Queen Madisha naturally provided luxurious drops. There were four radiant pieces of equipment on the floor. Three of them were a ring, and a necklace, and a magic staff. The remaining drops were random books scattered all over the floor.

As per usual, Wei Yan Er looted the drops, while Zhang Yang was in charge of distributing them. However, if he waits for Wei Yan Er to run back here, the loot might disappear anytime soon. Zhang Yang then proceeded to pick up a blue colored, frosty ring.

[Frost Vengeance Ring] (Mythical, Ring)

Vitality: 407

Strength: 194

Dexterity: 194

Equip Effect: Increases 1,200 Maximum HP.

Equip Effect: Increases attack and healing effect by 5%

Equip Effect: Increases 50% Ice Elemental attack of your weapon.

Level: 110

Special Effect: Level Requirement lowered by 20 Level.

Everyone arrived soon after, and their eyes popped out when they saw the properties of the ring. It was a Mythical tier ring! Even though they were wearing similarly tiered equipment on their bodies at the moment, they were all 'Cinderella's Glass Shoes'. Upon leaving, the equipment would vanish into thin air. The ring, however, was the real deal. They could be worn, traded, sold and most importantly, brought out of this place!

Han Ying Xue frowned, perturbed by a dissonance in the attributes of the equipment. "Dummy? This ring is clearly meant for physical classes. If so, why does one of the equip effect adds 50% Ice attack? Those are what Cryomancers look out for, don't they?"

The other girls cocked their heads, expecting an explanation from Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang laughed at their reactions and explained, "Don't forget, that the moment a single player reaches Level 100, the system would commence with the Inheritance Patch!" Zhang Yang wagged his finger at them. "Warriors, Knights, and even Thieves would be eligible for an Inheritance called the Frost Blade Fighter. The Inheritance would layer all their regular attacks with the Ice element. Hence, this ring is made specifically for them!"

Everyone nodded their heads. Daffodil Daydream interjected. "I'd say, this ring is already extremely powerful, despite not having the Ice effect boost!"

Zhang Yang smiled. "True that. But the real source of this ring's power is the lowered level requirement! Think about it, players around would only be wearing Level 90 Violet-Platinum equipment at most. But, by having this Level 110 Mythical equipment on, you would stand heads and shoulders above them all!"

"Nyeh! The boss had only dropped four pieces of equipment." Wei Yan Er pouted her lips discontentedly.

"Hmph. Icy, Little Brat. I want both of you to discuss on who should be getting this ring. Even though the Ice elemental boost is of no help for now, the stats of the ring would already be a major upgrade for the both of you. Next time, when you obtain better equipment, you can take this ring and sell it off. I reckon that players would love these sorts of equipment, with lowered level requirements. Especially, when they are rings or accessories. Perhaps, this ring could even be sold for 10,000,000 gold coins!" said Zhang Yang, with a straight face.

Wei Yan Er shook her head immediately. "No, no. I don't feel like it!" In truth, she wanted the ring, but it also felt like she was carrying 10 million dollars of cash in hand. The fear of being stared at, or perhaps the pestering had made her reject the ring.

As for Sun Xin Yu, she had always been pampering the little brat. Without hesitation, she gave the ring to Wei Yan Er. The little brat was so happy that she started calling her - "elder sister" hugging her so sincerely, that Han Ying Xue was soon filled with envy and jealousy. She had even fish hooked the little brat by the mouth and had dragged her away from Sun Xin Yu.

Zhang Yang laughed for a little while, and picked up a second ring. This ring looked and felt extremely solid in his hand. It had a yellowish hue around the ring which reminded him of mother nature itself, and various runic inscriptions that were not unlike those on the One Ring.

[Great Earth Ring] (Mythical, Ring)

Vitality: 432

Strength: 83

Dexterity: 83

Equip Effect: Absorbs 167 damage when attacked.

Equip Effect: Increases 1,500 Maximum HP.

Equip Effect: Increases 2% Critical Strike rate.

Level Requirement: 110

Special Effect: Level Requirement lowered by 20 Level.

"Hoh! A powerful tank ring!" cried the little brat overdramatically. "Noobie tank! It's your treat tomorrow!"

"Yeah! That's right. Since your main story quest is about to reach the end, you must treat us with a fabulous dinner when you do!" said Han Ying Xue, joining the fray.

Zhang Yang crossed his arms and smiled. He was happy, but he pretended to be angry. "Treat? The last time I remember, you guys were too lazy to go out! I even made reservations for the last dinner. What happened? You guys just bailed on me!"

Zhang Yang took the ring and kept it in his inventory. Right now, the stats prior to Identification were already good. He would be even happier, after Identifying the ring. With that thought in mind, Zhang Yang snickered happily and quietly to himself.

Before Zhang Yang could pick up the next equipment, Han Ying Xue barged in and demanded to be given a go at picking the equipment. She snatched a long necklace on the floor and examined it. The necklace had a long, black chain, and an amulet with a deep black-green jade affixed in the center. It gave out a soothing aura.

[Heart of Jade] (Mythical, Necklace)

Vitality: 400

Intelligence: 202

Spirit: 202

Equip Effect: Increase 600 Maximum MP.

Equip Effect: Increase healing rate by 10%

Level Requirement: 110

Special Effect: Level Requirement lowered by 20 Level.

Without a doubt, this necklace should go to Han Ying Xue. However, instead of keeping it in her inventory, she tossed the necklace to Zhang Yang and said, "Help me Identify this."

Zhang Yang frowned deeply, as Wei Yan Er snickered evilly by his side. She also took the [Frost Vengeance Ring] and passed it to Zhang Yang, asking him to Identify the ring as well. Neither of them had the slightest sense of embarrassment.

The last piece of equipment was a Magic Staff. At first glance, everyone would be impressed at the structure and build of it. The staff was purely made out of a crystal-like material. It gave out a bright, and soft, green-emerald radiance.

[Epicormic Branch of the Tree of Life] (Mythical, Magic Staff)

Magic Attack: 4,024 – 4,624

Equip Effect: Increases Magic damage and Healing rate by 14%

Equip Effect: 1% chance to heal yourself during every attack on a target. Healing rate is equal to the damage you have dealt.

Use: Summons the Life Tree to protect you. Grants Invulnerability for 1 second.

Level Requirement: 110

Special Effect: Level Requirement lowered by 20 Levels.

Note: This powerful magic staff contains the essence of the Life Tree. It contains a portion of the power from the Tree of Life!

Everyone gasped in awe as they read the equipment description. The effects were too outrageous. Han Ying Xue took the Magic Staff into her hands and asked, "Say, if we take this staff, and sell it, how much do you think that it would be worth?"

Zhang Yang scratched his chin. "Hard to say… Even if no one fights for it, it could be sold for 5,000,000 in the Little Merchandise Shop. But if we placed it in the Auction House, it could go as high as 10 million, or even 20 million! This Magic Staff has 4,000 Magic attack, and that is before Identification. After Identification, I'm sure that the Magic attack would be around 6,000! You could strip all your equipment down and equip only this staff, and you'd still have a stronger attack than a full Level 90 Violet-Platinum equipment player. Think about what I just said, one staff alone is worth an entire set of Violet-Platinum equipment. I think, 20 million would be worth it," Zhang Yang stated.

Han Ying Xue was not interested in the magical attack, although it could help increase her healing rate. More importantly, she already had the mana regenerative staff in her hand. Hence, she pushed the staff at Daffodil Daydream. The poor girl was flabbergasted and could not respond, having heard its true value from Zhang Yang. "I'm..erhm.. this…It's too much! Please sell it! I…I can't use this!"

Zhang Yang laughed at her cute, little girl-like reaction. "All the more reason to use it, Daffy! If you use this staff, you'll be the strongest attacker in my party! Altogether, wouldn't it be for the better, if anyone in our team gets an upgrade? The stronger we are, the better bosses we could kill! So what about 20 million? It's nothing. That being said, when you reach Level 120 or Level 130, you can still sell it off!"

"B-But! Its value would not be the same!" Daffodil Daydream was on the verge of tears.

"Aiyaya! Sister Daffy. Why are you nit-picking at the details? I'd say, might as well give up resisting his wishes. It's too late for you to escape his grasp. All that belongs to him, belongs to you! All that is you, belongs to him! Nyahahaha!" Wei Yan Er chuckled evilly.

Daffodil Daydream lowered her head and nodded quietly. She was hiding her vermilion-colored cheeks, that spoke of immeasurable shame. Perhaps, she agreed on the part "Everything that is her, belongs to Zhang Yang."

Luckily, Han Ying Xue did not notice her blush, as she was too busy flipping over the skill books. Zhang Yang, on the other hand, had walked over to Queen Madisha's dressing table and found a long bladed sword lying down at the lower left of the table. The blade of the sword was dark, with living, silvery lines, swirling around. There was a green little dragon that swam along the surface of the blade as well. It was moving and weaving up and down the length of the blade!

'Ding! You have obtained: Meteor Sword!'

'Ding! You have completed the quest: Search the Meteor Sword! Please return to White Jade Castle and present the sword to Princess Serena, in exchange for a luxurious reward!'

Zhang Yang let out a long, tiring sigh. It had not been easy to complete the entire quest. Zhang Yang took the sword and kept it in his inventory. He then walked down towards Han Ying Xue, who was busy examining the books. They were all Recipe scrolls for different professions. None of them were skill books, unfortunately. Everyone was disappointed, as they wanted a Pair Skill!

Still, Queen Madisha was kind enough to drop a piece of Middle-Tier Aura Stone. Sun Xin Yu took it and upgraded her {Fatal Strike Aura} to Level 4, which granted an additional 4% increase in Critical rate. There was one more item. A chest that left them staring, dumbfounded.

[Mystery Treasure Chest: You have found a chest that was hidden away secretly by Queen Madisha. Your instincts tell you that this chest is extremely important. However, no matter what you tried, it was impossible to open the chest via the regular method. Perhaps, you should inquire Princess Serena about the chest.

Chapter 460: Server Update

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Once everything was accounted for, Zhang Yang traveled to Thunderstorm Castle and then to White Jade Castle. There, he used the [Party Summon Order] and "pulled" everyone back, as per Han Ying Xue's insistent instructions. After everyone gathered together, Han Ying Xue and Wei Yan Er dragged Zhang Yang along, making sure that he did not run away when it came to Identifying the Mythical equipment for them.

Although he did not want to, he did not have much of a choice to begin with. He took out all the Mythical equipment and gave them to the Identifier.

The older gentleman was taking his time, reading a piece of newspaper. When he saw Zhang Yang coming into his store, the man placed down his reading glasses and spoke to Zhang Yang in a rather annoyed tone. "Young man. There's no need to rush. A gentleman must always be conscious of his posture."

The man walked lazily towards the table and picked up the [Frost Vengeance Ring] to examine it. He then picked up a piece of magnifying glass. The man gasped with a loud snort and placed the ring closer to the magnifying glass. He discarded his reading glasses and looked at the ring again, only to be shocked by it. "W-What is this? Such a masterpiece! Only a master craftsman could have made this marvelous piece. My god. Young man, you have no idea how fortunate you are, to have stumbled upon this ring!"

"Nuff said. Get to revealing the Ring's properties," said Wei Yan Er as she had been tapping her fingers on the wooden table since the beginning. "How much is it?"

Although Zhang Yang had not noticed it, the little brat had a rather refreshing, innocent appearance, that was able to entice a "dangerous" part of society, a certain group of people who had preferences for flat and short females. Her high-pitched voice was able to attract many male eyes, and many had even sent private messages, trying to court the young lady. All of them were of course blacklisted by the little brat, almost immediately.

The old Identifier examined the ring and after 3 to 4 minutes later, the old man looked up at Zhang Yang with a satisfied look. "2,000 gold coins."

"You, bloody, stinky, greedy old man! How dare you charge us 2,000 gold coins for 4 equipment! Might as well put a gun at my face and demand for my entire life savings then!" cried the little brat.

"One! One for 2,000 gold coins!" The old man was not startled by her outrage. Instead, he put on a stoic face and emphasized the fees. Behind the counter, his legs have given up, and were trembling like crazy!

Zhang Yang placed the outer side of his hand on the little brat's head and ground his knuckles, hard.

"Get it done." Zhang Yang told the old man. Zhang Yang was not surprised at the Identifying fees. He had visited this place often. In fact, 2,000 gold coins for Identifying was after a 50% discount, for having the title, "Hero of White Jade Castle". If someone else were to have their equipment Identified, it would cost 4,000 gold coins.

"2,000 gold coins just for Identifying? What the hell is that equipment?" A passing male elven Spellcaster walked by and observed the equipment that were being Identified. Although he could pick it up, it could be taken out of the premises. Zhang Yang immediately noticed that the man had a faint smile on his face. It was the same kind of smile any cunning, conniving fox would carry. "Hm. Bro, this magic staff. Sell it to me."

Zhang Yang had no intention of selling it off then since Daffodil Daydream was supposed to use it. Zhang Yang looked straight at the player and took notice of his name and profile information.

"Royal Highness of Thunder, Level 87, Male Elf, Pyromancer, The Myth".

When Zhang Yang saw the guild "The Myth", a surge of anger rose up his heart. Still, for a mere magic staff, it was not worth the trouble of taking down the entire guild. Instead, Zhang Yang nonchalantly pushed him aside. "Sorry bro, we're using it."

Even though he was rejected, Royal Highness of Thunder did not leave the premises. He stood by and continued to observe the equipment being handled by the Identifier.

Ka ching! Ka ching!

After paying 6,000 gold coins, the properties of the two rings and the necklace were revealed. Zhang Yang swapped his old ring for the Great Earth Ring and raised his HP to 96,980. His HP was just an inch more to reaching 100,000!

As for the last item on the menu, the old man took his time to analyze the magic staff. Zhang Yang had seen this many times before since he was the only guy bringing ridiculous weapons to his shop. What the old man would do would be to pick up the magnifying glass, express a shocked and surprise face, rub his eyes, and shout out the price. This would often happen when an extremely rare item is presented to him. However, this time, the old man took even longer to examine the item before announcing the price.

"Looks like the staff won't be just 2,000 gold coins…" Zhang Yang sighed heavily.

"What?! That's absurd!" cried Daffodil Daydream. The other ladies of the team were not interested since the staff would end up in Daffodil Daydream's hands. She felt a little guilty since Zhang Yang would be paying the fees.

"T-This is…an ancient miracle. An ancient power! A blessing from the past!" cried the old man.

"This is new," said Zhang Yang to himself.

"Say…We have given you the opportunity of a lifetime to witness and hold an ancient artifact in your hands. Perhaps you could give us a little service by lightening the fees?" said Wei Yan Er.

"10,000 gold coins." The old man expression reverted back to his stoic composure faster than Fatty Han could look at a nip slip. "I expect full payment. Not even a copper coin less."

Zhang Yang sighed and paid the man 10,000 gold coins.

"WTF?!" cried Royal Highness of Thunder. He had never heard of such a high fee when it came to Identifying a single equipment. Even his own Yellow-Gold equipment had cost him a few hundred gold. What could the equipment prowess be, if the price for Identifying it was so high!?

After receiving the sack of gold coins, the old man picked up the magic staff and tweaked it here and there, before handing it back to Zhang Yang. A bright glow shot up to the sky when the staff left the old man's hand, and into Zhang Yang's.

[Epicormic Branch of the Tree of Life] (Mythical, Magic Staff)

Magic Attack: 5,778 – 6,478

Equip Effect: Increases Magic damage and Healing rate by 20%.

Equip Effect: 2% chance to heal yourself on every attack on a target. Healing rate is equal to the damage you had dealt.

Use: Summons the Life Tree to protect you. Grants Invulnerability for 2 seconds.

Level Requirement: 110

Note: This powerful magic staff contains the essence of the Life Tree. It has a portion of the power of the Tree of Life!

"Oh dang! The Magic Attack is so high! It's so much stronger than my current attack power!"

On the far side of the shop, Royal Highness of Thunder gritted his teeth. A glint of jealousy and envy was prominent in his eyes.

Zhang Yang peeked around and noticed how much of the player around were reacting the same way as Royal Highness of Thunder.

Zhang Yang then tapped Daffodil Daydream's shoulder and whispered into her face. Wracked with paranoia, he had put his face extremely close to her. "Daffy. I want you to keep your guard up. I don't want any of the guys to be approaching you."

Even before Zhang Yang had spoked, Daffodil Daydream was already blushing like a cherry tomato. A puff of steam shot out of her head when Zhang Yang spoke like that to her.

"I..I...I…I…I D-Don't worry…I…I…I won't fall for anyone else...!"

Wei Yan Er laughed maniacally and rolled on the floor. "Sister Daffy. What noob tank was saying, he wants you to be careful of other people who might literally jump on you! They are aiming for your staff, not you!"

Zhang Yang nodded and turned his gaze to Daffodil Daydream to wait for a reply. However, Daffodil Daydream had a totally alarmed, eyes widened, cherry tomato red face. She was so embarrassed of her own reaction and had immediately disappeared by using a [Teleportation Scroll].

"That's a cute reaction," said Wei Yan Er.

"Oy dummy…What's with you? Why do all girls flock to you? Did angels get together and made a dream come true? Did they sprinkle moon dust in your hair of gold, and star-light in your eyes of blue? Haha! Is that why all the girls in town follow you all around?" Han Ying Xue grumbled.

Zhang Yang frowned. "Did you just quote the song lyrics of "Close to You" by The Carpenters?"

"Haha! So you do know your oldies! Just so you know, girls love it when a guy listens to old songs! Looks like the Daffy girl would never be able to escape your evil grasp." Han Ying Xue teased him.

On the sidelines, Sun Xin Yu made it a point to fidget with her daggers, and glared at Zhang Yang with murderous eyes.

Zhang Yang sighed. He was tired of dealing with the two women. After exiting the shop, Zhang Yang head straight to the Royal Castle and when he approached the gate, he reported his name to the guard and was led to the Royal Chamber of Star and Luna, where Princess Serena was. It was easy to enter the Royal Castle now, compared to previous attempts. Perhaps it was because he had already completed the quest.

As he entered the chamber, Zhang Yang saw Princess Serena slouching on her throne in a completely un-princess-like manner. There was a frown on her face, and she was sulking as if she had been waiting for quite some time for Zhang Yang to arrive.

Zhang Yang quickly approached her, and kneeled down, 10 meters away from the throne. He saluted the princess and greeted her. "Princess Serena. It is I, Zhan Yu."

"Zhan Yu! You have returned!" Princess Serena got to her feet immediately and walked closer to Zhang Yang. "Have you found the Meteor Sword?"

"Your Highness. You'll be glad to know that I had found it." Zhang Yang took out the sword from his inventory and presented it to her, holding it up high above his head, and kneeling down at the same time.

Princess Serena bent down and took the sword out of Zhang Yang's hands.

"This, this 'is' the Meteor Sword!" She exclaimed. Princess Serena returned to her throne but remained standing. Instead, she stood facing Zhang Yang and held the blade up with both hands, the flat of the blade placed against her forehead. The magical swirling green dragon that was "living" in the blade of the sword shrieked and flew out of the sword. It then magically expanded, and turned into huge dragon measuring close to a hundred meters wide! The dragon flew around, finally coming to a rest behind Princess Serena. The dragon roared magnificently. It's roar echoed throughout the palace, and even spread across the entire city! All the citizens knelt before the castle, expressing not fear, but admiration, for the magical beast.

The dragon was not in physical form. It was ethereal and was phasing through the walls and pillars of the chamber.

"All hail Princess Serena! Long Live Princess Serena!" All the guards in the palace and chamber shouted out their salutations for their beloved Princess Serena.

"Rawgh!" the dragon roared and dispersed into millions of green participles. It then swirled around the chamber space, and before rushing towards Princess Serena. A bright light shone out, and the entire castle was illuminated with a warm light. The clouds in the sky were pushed away, revealing the giant ball of fire in the sky, to introduce a new light upon the castle.

Shring!

A golden light radiated from Princess Serena's character. Zhang Yang knew the light. It was all too similar when a player leveled up. Back then, Princess Serena was 20 Levels higher than Zhang Yang and thus, he had never been able to see her profile. This time, he knew that the princess had gained not one, not two, but 30 consecutive Levels, for the light had burst out for a total of 30 times. Although Zhang Yang could not remember her Level, he clearly remembered her being a Holy tier boss. After the radiance stopped, Zhang Yang checked her status, and was stunned at the word - "Ascended".

[Serena, Princess of White Jade Kingdom] (Ascended, Humanoid)

Level: ???

HP: ???

Defense: ???

Note: True wielder of the Meteor Sword! Her power rivals the Gods. None shall be on equal to her.

Such a dominating presence! Zhang Yang was extremely envious of Serena, especially at how she could gain 30 Levels, just by holding the sword against her forehead. Perhaps, he should have done it himself earlier!

"I thank you, Warrior Zhan Yu! You, truly are my one and only warrior!" After gaining the status of Ascended, Princess Serena's armor morphed into something, even more, grander than before. The smile on her face when she was with Zhang Yang had never been more radiant. "I could never have achieved this without you, Zhan Yu. If you had not brought me the sword, my father, the King would have married me off to Amula of the Black Dragon City. Hmph. I understand the logic of my father wanting to protect the citizens of this kingdom. But, that does not mean that he could just marry me off to any perverted scoundrel!"

Zhang Yang could feel the anger in her words, even though she was merely frowning in frustration. Back then, when she was merely wielding the Sword of Life and Death, she could massacre all the players and make rivers flow with blood. But, now that she held the Meteor Sword…only God knows of what she would be capable of.

'Ding! Your Relationship with Princess Serena has increased!'

Oh! Come on! Relationship? Zhang Yang wanted something more materialistic, for once! Zhang Yang maintained a stoic facial expression and said, "It is an honor to serve the Princes, I ask for nothing but your good graces, my Princess."

Princess Serena nodded her head happily. "With this sword, We can unite all the Kingdoms in this Union to form an Empire! You, Zhan Yu, Our warrior, you are by greatest benefactor!"

'Ding! You have completed the quest: Search of the Meteor Sword. Obtained 20,000,000 Experience Points!'

'Ding! You have obtained a reward: Level 3, SP 2, Luck 3!'

Shring! Shring! Shring!

Zhang Yang's character glowed in a brilliant golden light, three times, and rose from Level 98 to Level 101!

'Server Announcement: Player Zhan Yu has become the first player to achieve Level 100! Obtained reward: SP 1, Luck 3!'

'Server Announcement: The first Level 100 player has emerged. Chaos Realm will be available for entry after the server patch. Inheritance Patch will be implemented. Please refer to the official website for more information about the Inheritance Patch!'

'Server Announcement: Server Update and Service Patch will commence in 30 minutes. Please log out to prevent any item loss. Please refer to the official website for more information about the patch content. Please make necessary preparations before the patch!'

Zhang Yang was thrown away. He had just received 4 SP in one go! Zhang Yang was happy, although only for a millisecond before frustration kicked in. The main story quest - "Search of the Meteor Sword had only rewarded him with a Level 3, SP 2 and Luck 3. Though it may seem a lot for anyone else, Zhang Yang felt that all the effort that he put out for the past few months was a complete waste!

"Oh!"

Just then, Zhang Yang remembered something important. Zhang Yang immediately took out the mysterious box that he had found from Queen Madisha and handed it to Princess Serena. "My Princess, I have found a box but I am unable to open it. I hope that Princess Serena could assist me in opening this mysterious box."

Somehow, he knew that the real reward lay within that box.

Princess Serena smiled warmly and knelt down to his level. "Zhan Yu, you have shed much blood for me. If there is anything that We can do for you, We will do everything in Our power to help you out."

To hear such words coming from a Princess' mouth was everything that Zhang Yang could hope for.

Princess Serena took the box and examined it. She then places the box on the floor and pointed the sword at the box. With a quick hum, the box opened ever so easily, when Zhang Yang and everyone else could not.

With an eager heart, Zhang Yang peeked into the box…Only to see…

An egg!?

What's this? A herbal egg? Would it grant Zhang Yang unbelievable powers after he boiled it?

Zhang Yang was on the verge of crying. When all hope had been poured into the box, all it could do was to give him an egg. An egg, that looked like a regular chicken egg!

[Mysterious Egg]

Description: Who knows what will hatch from this egg? Perhaps, you should wait and see…

Incubation time: 71 Hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds.

Bound.

An egg. Zhang Yang had suffered for so long, only to be rewarded with an egg.

No matter, Zhang Yang had one last hope remaining. This egg had to be a Mythical Beast's egg! That was the lie Zhang Yang told himself, although he knew that it would be 1 in a million chance for it to be a real Mythical Beast's egg. Still, there was still hope. No one knew what it was, or what would hatch out of it!

After leaving the Royal Castle, Zhang Yang immediately logged out of the game since there were only a few minutes left before the server update started. By that time, it was already way past midnight. Zhang Yang stripped down to his boxer and found that he stunk. His shirt felt like a crumpled, dried up biscuit. It must be from the excessive dried sweat, thanks to such a stressful quest. Zhang Yang sighed heavily, and made his way to the bathroom for a shower and went to bed soon after.

It took him a whole night to regain back his vitality, and he had even overslept for an hour past 8am. Zhang Yang did not skip his routine workout, even though he had woken up slightly later. However, unlike his old house which was already destroyed. Zhang Yang's new housing estate required him to drive for quite a distance to buy regular fried dough and soy milk. The housing estate which he lived in now did not have roadside stalls nearby since it was an upscale, uptown kind of area. If he wanted to get some light snacks and cheap food, he would have to drive. That's one of the tradeoffs he would have to bear.

Zhang Yang bought breakfast for five and by the time he made it back home, the four ladies had just woken up from their beauty sleep. Everyone got up, got dressed, put on their thick layers of makeup and ate breakfast. Sun Xin Yu had gone off for work, while Zhang Yang had taken the job as Wei Yan Er's private driver to her school.

Wei Yan Er was already 18 years old. She had already finished her high school. The purpose of Zhang Yang sending Wei Yan Er to school on that day was to fill in a form about her future job prospects.

In truth, it had been terribly difficult for Wei Yan Er to graduate from high school, due to her frequent lapse in concentration, her lack of academic intelligence, and her poor memory. Still, she was not bothered by it. Her future path had already been decided. For her, taking on high school was nothing but a ritual, a ceremony that she had to go through to be 'normal'.

…

The developers had announced the server patch out of the blue and had even made the server patching duration to as long as three days. Hence, with nothing to do at home. Zhang Yang had invited Fatty Han to come over at night and have a little fun. They then moved on to a hotel and had a grand dinner to celebrate Wei Yan Er's official graduation from high school. Naturally, the bill had to be settled by none other than Zhang Yang.

Chapter 461: Battle Companion

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Fatty Han had even brought along his girlfriend, Xiao Wei. The girl was extremely sweet and polite. Nothing like what Fatty Han had described. If Fatty Han had never mentioned about her being as ruthless as a hungry lion with him, Zhang Yang would have never imagined it.

The night continued on, and everyone was enjoying the dinner and conversation. However, when someone mentioned the name Liu Wei and One Sword Stroke, everyone's mood turned foul. As the saying went, nations that crumble from foreign attacks will rebuild, and come back stronger than ever. But what of an attack that comes from the inside? Even though Imperial Sky could never reach the strength level of Lone Desert Smoke, the guild was still one of the strongest guilds in China's region. Despite so, the guild had crumbled down due to internal strife, because of a single woman. Everyone understood the damage, but Zhang Yang and Fatty Han had a deeper insight of it.

The conversation returned to its liveliness in a matter of glasses. Among the company, only Zhang Yang and Fatty Han were the only men on the table while the rest were troublesome women. These ladies simply loved messing with them. Later through the night, all 5 women had managed to force Zhang Yang and Fatty Han to shotgun one large carton-load of beer down their stomachs. Eventually, both of them had to run back and forth to the washroom to unload everything they had drank down. The scene was exceptionally funny to them since they had never seen Zhang Yang being much of a clown.

After that merry little dinner with the ladies, everyone drove themselves back home. Zhang Yang, on the other hand, was too intoxicated to drive and had to depend on Han Ying Xue to take the wheel. After returning home, Zhang Yang did nothing else, but collapsed on the couch and slept. The next thing he knew, it was already morning. The moment when he opened his eyes, he was assaulted with a wracking of a headache. The light from the sun did nothing to ease his pain. Zhang Yang drank more water than he had ever drank before, and felt that it tasted much better than before. He took a good cold bath, and went to bed to sleep a little while more.

After waking up for the second time, he felt a little better and proceed to greet the ladies of the house. He even played and teased Han Ying Xue and Sun Xin Yu, and felt a little better after.

Before the server came back online, there was absolutely nothing for Zhang Yang to do at home. He then went to visit the office of Silky Soft Holdings and reviewed a few things in his office. There, he checked read up on the server patch notes.

The joint venture between Silky Soft Holdings and Crimson Cosmetic Holdings was a success. They had even managed to launch their first joint product in the market. Both sides were working hard to further improve the joint venture of the two mega companies. Hence, the staff of Silky Soft Holdings were working at their best performance as if they had unlimited vigor. While that was happening, the secretaries in Zhang Yang's office had inherited the burning vigor as well. Since summer in China was extremely hot and steamy, the secretaries had followed the trend and wore the most exposing outfits that they could find. Before this, they would have to bend down a little to expose their deep cleavages to Zhang Yang. Now, their clothing had such low cutting, that their badahonkadongs were at the brink of spilling out! Just walking alone would send tremors down their watermelons. That, and the ultra-short pencil skirts that couldn't resist springing up the curvature of women's buttocks, thanks to the elastic tension, exposing the thongs that they wore beneath. Even though Zhang Yang was still in the office, he felt like he was sitting at the beach, enjoying a refreshing scene of bikini babes by the sea side! A true experience of summer happiness!

What more could he ask for?

Back at his house, there were the two Missus Universe freeloading, in his office, there was a group of hungry hyenas, just waiting for Zhang Yang to jump on them! What more could a man wish for?

Feeling blessed, Zhang Yang opened his personal computer and visited the 'God's Miracle' official website. After scrolling down for a bit, Zhang Yang checked out server patch notes and read.

1. Please make adequate preparation for the release of the Chaos Realm. Monsters in the Chaos Realms are extremely strong. Players are recommended to equip a full set of Level 90 Gray-Silver tier, to enjoy the content of the Chaos Realm.

2. Monsters description will be more details. However, be advised that the level gap between the players and the monsters will affect the amount of information being displayed.

3. Official release of Flying Mounts. Players can now use the [Sealing Lease] to capture Flying Mounts in the Chaos Realm. The method of capturing Flying Mounts is similar to capturing regular Mounts. The number of regular mounts had been increased in pre-Chaos Realm regions. Players can now enjoy capturing all their favorite mounts before proceeding to the Chaos Realm.

4. Official release of the Inheritance Class. Players of any class will have the opportunity to obtain an Inheritance title. Be advised, all players are only limited to only ONE Inheritance title, and cannot forfeit the title upon receiving. Please review the Inheritance before accepting the quest.

5. Official launching of War of Kingdoms. All players from all 8 major Regions can now access the Chaos Realm and engage in a Kingdom war with other major cities (Kingdom). Any death of the Kingdom's King/Ruler will result in a "Rebuilding" phase for 15 days, of the defeated Kingdom. All players from the fore mentioned kingdom will face a penalty. Attack Power reduced by 50%, Maximum HP reduced by 50%. All other players from other Kingdoms will gained a boost of Honor Points by killing players who are currently penalized.

6. Level Suppression system has been lengthened from 10 Levels to 30 Levels. In conjunction with this change, players who kill monsters above their Level Gap will gain an Excessive Level Bonus Experience Points.

After scrolling through the content page, Zhang Yang read it and realize that the changes mentioned in this content patch were rather similar to that of his previous lifetime.

After getting used to playing the game for almost every other day, the sudden unavailability of the game had made Zhang Yang uncomfortable. Sitting down was rather uncomfortable for Zhang Yang, since he had been lying down to play the game. The worst fact was that the game required 3 days to patch!

On the next day, Zhang Yang had received a short text message from his pretty teacher, Yu Li which only contained three short words. "Wanna do it?"

Within nothing to do at home anyway, Zhang Yang drove to her house and picked Yu Li up from her new house. The both of them "did it" in a hotel room, all afternoon and evening. The second day was spent in the hotel room with Yu Li.

Later on the third day, the server for 'God's Miracle' was launched again, rather late in the evening.

After waiting for 3 days long, players had experienced the torturous emptiness in their hearts. During the relaunch, an abnormal number of players had expressed their happiness at finally returning "home". While some were happy, almost half of them were extremely pissed off at the draggy patching duration.

When Zhang Yang logged into the game, the first thing he did was to review the Mysterious Egg that he had obtained from the Mysterious Box.

[Mysterious Egg]

Description: The Incubation is completed. Please sacrifice your blood to the egg to form a binding contract with the mysterious lifeform.

Bound.

Huh. Nothing complicated. All Zhang Yang had to do was to drip some of his blood onto the egg. Zhang Yang then proceeded to slice his fingertip and let his blood drip onto the surface of the eggshell.

Tick…Tick…Tick…

The eggshell was like a super-absorbent sponge that had absorbed the blood without a trace. The egg only vibrated slightly and stopped the next second.

Huh. Zhang Yang guessed that it would require much more than a few drops of blood to "revive" coax the being inside the shell.

This time, Zhang Yang placed his palm on the blade and jerked it hard, to cause a deeper cut. After pouring the blood in his palm on the egg, the same thing occurred again but a progress bar appeared. It showed "1%..."

Zhang Yang frowned. He had just given the egg a handful of blood, and yet, the entire progress was only 1%?! Luckily, this was just a game. If he had to "donate" so much blood to reach 100%, he would have died for 10 times before it could happen.

Zhang Yang immediately called for Han Ying Xue over to heal him. When Han Ying Xue arrived, she had not come alone. In fact, the entire party was present to see what sort of situation required Zhang Yang to slid his own wrist. Once Han Ying Xue was prepared, Zhang Yang grit his teeth and proceeded to slice off his entire hand. Like an open hydrant, his severed stump poured out blood at such an astonishing rate that was draining his HP as well. As previously mentioned, the miraculously "thirsty object" had absorbed all the blood! There was not a single drop of blood that was wasted!

In reality, if one were to slice off one's hand, they would either faint from the shock and die later from excessive blood loss. Since they were in the game, all Zhang Yang had to suffer from was his drastic HP loss. Han Ying Xue immediately cast {Regeneration} and various other healing spells to match the rate of Zhang Yang's HP loss.

"Nyehahaha! I was right to call you noobie tank! Look at your HP! It's going down like a ruptured dam! Haha! Noob! Noob!"

"Oh lord, forming a contract would take so much blood! This egg must be something great!" said Daffodil Daydream. Almost everyone knew that he had obtained the egg from completing a Main Story Quest. Hence, the crowd that was circling Zhang Yang and Han Ying Xue. The entire process took much longer than expected. Zhang Yang had lost track of time since he had been pouring blood onto the egg. He did note that Han Ying Xue had to stop healing twice because she had actually drained her entire MP gauge - twice.

After 90% of Han Ying Xue's MP gauge was drained for the third time, the egg had finally responded. The egg stopped absorbing the blood, and a small blood pool started forming the side.

Crack…

"Woah! It's hatching!" cried Wei Yan Er as she jumped to her feet. Everyone got closer, while Zhang Yang was forced to squat down to let everyone peek the egg.

Crack…

"Come on! Whatever you are! Break the eggshell and come out!"

More and more cracks started to form on the surface of the egg. A bright white light seeped out from the tiny cracks of the egg.

"OMG! IT'S COMING OUT! IT'S COMING! COMING!" cried the little brat, as she grabbed the Herb Foraging Familiar's neck even tighter! The poor little beast was suffering, and was about to faint! The little brat was so bored when Zhang Yang was pouring his blood onto the egg, and had forced Zhang Yang to summon out the familiar for her. She only wanted a dose of its cuteness!

"I wonder what it could be!"

"A dragon! It has to be a dragon! When Zhang Yang gave the sword to the princess, a dragon appeared! This egg must be the dragon's offspring!"

"Don't be silly. Do you think that dragons lay eggs?"

"Erhm…yeah. What else could lay an egg?"

"Your mom."

"F*ck off."

Crack…Crack…

As everyone was having fun guessing around, more cracks formed, and finally, a piece of the shell was kicked out.

An extremely tiny spear that had broken the shell. The spear retracted back into the egg and started slashing about, collapsing the entire egg shell from within, revealing a tiny, thumb-sized humanoid girl that carried a spear and a shield on her back.

The little thumb-sized girl had long black hair. Even though she was so small, she had a magnificent body. If she was enlarged to normal size, she would have the most busty pair of breasts and a curvy butt that could rival even Sun Xin Yu! Her facial expression was so cute, which only emphasized her perfect complexion. Her face was so perfect as if someone had carved her out from a piece of jade.

Note: Zhan Yu's Battle Companion

Everyone gasped in awe when such a little cute Barbie doll suddenly appeared in front of them. While the ladies were squealing, Hundred Shots asked, "Zhang Yang, what is a Battle Companion."

"I have no idea!" Zhang Yang too was surprised, himself. He had never heard of the term "Battle Companion," even in his previous life!

Felice was small, but despite her tiny size, she was deceptively agile. When Wei Yan Er wanted to grab her. She jumped away as quick as lightning and landed on Zhang Yang's shoulder. Felice expressed her anger by slashing her spear around frantically.

"What a jump!"

That jump from the ground up to Zhang Yang's shoulder was no easy feat. It may be easy for a cricket to do so. But for a humanoid being like Felice to do so would be the same as Zhang Yang leaping up to a 10-storey building!

Zhang Yang turned his head, and looked at the thumb-size Felice, as she looked at him as well. There was a glint in her eyes that expressed a sense of longingness. It felt like he was looking into a mirror, with the same look in his eyes when he had just lost both of his parents. The same pain when he was just a young boy.

Unconsciously, Zhang Yang reached out with his index finger to her.

Towards Zhang Yang, Felice was not afraid, nor expressed any hostile reactions towards him compared to the others. Instead, she reciprocated his actions by reaching out with her own hand to grab Zhang Yang's finger.

At that moment, when the two beings touched, Zhang Yang felt a sudden rush from his spine and up to his head. Something had changed in him, but he did not know what.

Chapter 462: Entering the Chaos Realms

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"NOOOOOOOOOOO!"

A simultaneous roar from all players in the entire world could be heard. Just as they had taken 3 f*cking days to introduce a simple Inheritance patch, they would need to endure another server shut down now, just to patch some Battle Companion crap?! What the hell!?

No matter how much the players complained, there was no stopping from what that was to come. The patch would still commence. Players from all over the world lost connection to the game in less than a minute. But, luckily, the patch was only 5 minutes. The server came back online slightly earlier. Some of the players that were not as active like Zhang Yang had not realized that and logged in after the server was patched the second time. With such a little time, Zhang Yang and his gang took the chance to review the Battle Companion 'crap' from the official site.

Just when the system had finished announcing the patch, the official website had published the relevant information on Battle Companion. To think that they had taken no time at all to prepare for all the documents, prior to releasing such spontaneous patches.

Zhang Yang read the content released on the official website.

Battle Companions were like Hunter's pet. They can be summoned out, and removed from the battlefield. However, the major difference between a pet and a Battle Companion was that a Battle Companion had their own judgments and "sentience". They could make their own decisions and could execute complicated actions, based on general instructions. As long they laid down the command, they would complete it as to how the situation dictated. A Battle Companion could disobey a player if the request is unreasonable, or suspicious. It meant that they could break the contract at any time they want, and had the same power authority as a player. To put it in simple terms, a Battle Companion was more like a mercenary than an underling.

Like Hunter's pet, Battle Companions could gain levels as the players killed monsters. There was one factor that made a Battle Companion much stronger than a pet. Battle Companions could equip weapons and armor which would give them the opportunity to grow much stronger than a pet could.

Players could only form a contract with one Battle Companion at a time. To swap a new Battle Companion, the player must first break the contract with the original Battle Companion. Battle Companion was easy to obtain. As long as a being has a mind of its own, be it a friendly target, or a hostile target, players could even sign a contract with a dragon if they had the capabilities of convincing them to form a contract. When a Battle Companion died in a field, whether or not by the hands of a player or a monster, it would lose a level.

Zhang Yang had mixed feelings in his heart. He had relied on his past "history" to carve himself a bright "future" in this timeline. However, most of the actions he had taken had been according to the previous timeline. However, this time, he had taken a new turn which had triggered something that was never released in the previous life! Zhang Yang could not help but wondered if his actions would lead to something even bigger. However, now that he has come to this, there was no way left, but forwards!

Zhang Yang relogged into the game and found a new Battle Companion window which displayed the information of the little girl. By just a simple thought in his mind, Zhang Yang had summoned Felice out into the world. Unlike summoning a pet or mount, a Battle Companion would not require any channeling or casting delay. Summoning a Battle Companion was an instantaneous action.

When Felice was summoned out, she jumped out from Zhang Yang's palm, lightly stabbing Zhang Yang's shoulders to stick her landing better. With a proud expression, Felice stood tall, puffing out her chest with pride.

Zhang Yang laughed at her comical attempt to guard him and said, "You precious little thing. Do you understand what I am saying?"

Felice nodded her head but when she opened her mouth, nothing but "ah ah eh eh" came out. Perhaps she was a mute, or perhaps she was made that way, due to her low level. Maybe when she gains a few level, she would gain the ability to talk to Zhang Yang.

While Zhang Yang was enjoying his time with Felice, Han Ying Xue and the rest of the troublesome ladies had joined his side and wanted to play with Felice. Unfortunately, due to Han Ying Xue's and Wei Yan Er's rough treatment, Felice was angry and had repeatedly tried to stab them with her toothpick-size spear. Since her level was too low, her attacks had not made any damage. Not even a single damage. Poor little "Thumbelina" was so frustrated, that she had morphed herself into a beam of light, and had returned back to Zhang Yang's inventory.

Furious and disgruntled, Han Ying Xue pestered Zhang Yang to summon her out again. However, Zhang Yang had gained a liking for the little critter, and decided to take her side, and refused to summon Felice out just so that they could play with her. Furthermore, as the official site had mentioned, a Battle Companion could terminate the contract with the player anytime they wanted to. If Zhang Yang ever angered or annoyed Felice to an extent, she might just kick his butt and leave Zhang Yang.

Right then, Zhang Yang did not even have a hint of Felice's ability. To think that the trigger point to initiate the Battle Companion system would require the clearance of the quest "Search of Meteor Sword", Zhang Yang felt that Felice was something extremely special and unique since he had obtained her from the Queen of the Imperial Heaven's Empire after all. It would not make sense if Felice did not have any special abilities.

Zhang Yang removed himself from the crowd and teleported to the Thunderstorm Castle. There, he summoned the bear and rode all the way to the Ten Barren Seas. Right then, when the Chaos Realm was opened to the world, Zhang Yang had the greatest advantage, that was, his Level. The second highest level player in the game was only Level 96. Do not judge the difference of four Levels from 96 to 100, so the amount of time that the second player would need to grind to reach Level 100, would reach one months' time! During that one month, Zhang Yang could have already roamed around the entire Chaos Realm!

The first item on his to-do-list was to capture a Flying Mount. Not only could a Flying Mount grant a player a wider, clear view of the landscape from above, the speed of which it could travel would be three times faster than regular mounts. While a level 90 map was already a headache for Zhang Yang, not having a Flying Mount in the Chaos Realm would make him suffer, from all the time wasted solely on riding his regular mount.

After Zhang Yang arrived at the Ten Barren Seas, Zhang Yang swapped the bear for the Mythical Turtle and spent close to 5 hours traveling on waters to reach the island at the center of the sea. Located at the very center of the island was the portal that led to the Chaos Realm. Even though the portal had long existed even before the system had made the announcement, no player could go through it!

On the island where the portal was located, there were no beasts and no monsters roaming around. Zhang Yang arrived on the island and swapped back to his bear to reach the center of the island without much delay. When Zhang Yang arrived in the center of the island, he was greeted by a black colored portal, with dark matter swirling in a circle, like a two-dimensional black hole.

Zhang Yang had used this portal once, back in his previous life. When he used it that time, Chaos Realm had already been explored by pioneer players. Zhang Yang only needed to link his [Teleportation Scroll] to the territory there, and had not needed to use the portal again the second time. Travelling to the Chaos Realm would not require of him to travel to the island again, It felt like a strong déjà vu when he approached the portal for the first time, a second time. Zhang Yang drew a deep breath and jumped into the whirlpool of darkness.

Whmmmmm… Thud.

It all happened in an instant. First, a sensation of being sucked into oblivion, second, a sudden surge of speed, and finally, third, a bright light flashed in his eyes, and he appeared on the other side. In the Chaos Realm, every player would arrive at a football field-sized gigantic altar. Behind Zhang Yang was the same portal where he had just walked through, and in front of him were the plains of Chaos Realm.

'Ding! You have entered the Chaos Realm!'

Zhang Yang walked a little further and reached the end of the gigantic altar. Arranged in an orderly manner, there were eight portals which led to eight other different types of Ten Barren Seas, which belonged to eight different regions. The current map which Zhang Yang was currently in was named Tibanya Wasteland. Monsters in this map ranged from Level 100 to Level 130, which was quite a huge jump.

Even though Zhang Yang had recalled the location of the territory in this map, it was a matter of one year ago. When he opened the world map, it was completely dark, since he had not yet explored any of it. Hence, it took him quite some time, but Zhang Yang managed to locate the exact position of the territory that he had decided to conquer.

He was about to get into an extremely heated conflict. First, he would have to get himself a Flying Mount to save him a great deal of time to travel across the Chaos Realm, Next, he would want to conquer a territory to save him more time to travel back and forth between the portals. Lastly, by the time he has achieved two of them, Zhang Yang could start the quest to obtain the God of War Inheritance. That was enough of a workload for anyone else but Zhang Yang wanted more. In one month's time, he wanted to conquer not just one, but two territories!

To conquer a territory would be a war between players. However, since Zhang Yang was the only one qualified to enter the Chaos Realm, that would mean that all territory in the realm were his to conquer, provided that no one could surpass Level 100 within the stipulated duration.

Zhang Yang had decided, that after conquering the territory in the Tibanya Wasteland, he would enter the Grandu Ice Ridge, and take the territory there for himself! One of the reasons for him to do so was because the Teleportation Point in the Grandu Ice Ridge led to the Japan-Korea region's Ten Barren Seas.

When those bastards enter the Chaos Realm, they would cry in dismay, knowing that the only place where they could link their [Teleportation Scroll] had been taken away! Each time they wanted to travel to the Chaos Realm, they could only teleport to the Ten Barren Seas and travel 5 hours to the island, and use the portal! You have to obtain the [Territory Conquest Order] to conquer an already-occupied territory. Furthermore, defending was way easier than attacking. Lone Desert Smoke was China's strongest guild. Additionally, territorial attacks were only limited between guilds. There was nothing for Zhang Yang to be afraid of, in a 1v1 fight!

Zhang Yang could only look forward to witnessing the expression and dismay when they realize that they had lost their convenience of traveling!

After setting his direction straight, Zhang Yang rode the bear and headed towards the first destination. After the altar, the area was nothing but a wasteland, as the name implied. It was littered with dying flora, while various cacti thrived. After just a few steps out, Zhang Yang could hear a low growl. Out of the brown, withering bushes, a leopard jumped out and sank its fangs deep in the white bear's thigh.

[Ravaging Leopard] (Normal, Beast)

Level: 104

HP: 16,160

Defense: 100

Melee Attack: 4,702 – 5,502

Skills:

[Claw Attack: Tears down the defense of the target. Deals a total of 5,000 physical attack in 15 seconds.

The bear growled in pain and retaliated immediately by slamming its paws into the leopard. Even though the monsters in the Chaos Realm was strong, the white bear was still a Yellow-Gold tier pet mount. With such a large difference in power and tier, the paw attack had sent leopard flying off its feet. The white bear had already received an attack by the leopard before it was sent flying. There was a visible bleeding wound on the bear's thigh, but in the mounting status, all damage will be dealt on the shared HP bar. The attack was a DoT skill from the Claw Attack. However, instead of suffering any loss in HP, Zhang Yang superior damage absorption passives had completely nullified all the potential damage!

Zhang Yang snickered. With a quick thought, Zhang Yang summoned Felice out. Battle Companions are similar to that of a regular pet, they both required hands-on-the-field experience points to level up.

With the Sword of Purging Devourer dancing in the air, the Raging Leopard fell in its own pool of blood. It had dropped a piece of [Leopard's Tail, and a rabbit's foot that was yet to be digested.

[Lucky Rabbit's Foot] (ETC)

Description: A limb that once belonged to a lucky bunny. Now, it belongs to you!

Zhang Yang frowned. How could a lucky bunny be eaten by a leopard and still not get digested…

The monster had given them a luxurious amount of experience points. Although the total experience points were divided across Zhang Yang, the bear and even Felice, the 5,000 experience points that were given to her, was enough to raise her level to Level 5.

There was a sudden growth in height and size as she gained levels. At level 5, she was already half a foot tall!

Zhang Yang continued on and killed more monsters that pounced at him. There were leopards, lions, boar or only normal tiered enemies. Still, their attack powers rivaled that of elite tiers! That large amount of experience points had sent Little Felice's Level up high!

Level 10? Level 20? Level 30!

When the little girl reached Level 30, Felice had grown from the size of Thumbelina to a normal teenager! She wore a silvery white battle gown. Although the appearance of it looked like it was made of silver, it was neither steel nor silver, for the quality of her armor was much sturdier than that of common armor!

"Big Brother!" Felice cried out the most earnest, and cute voice to Zhang Yang.

Chapter 463: Felice, Too Cute, Too Powerful

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhang Yang jumped when he heard Felice finally uttering her first word. He would have never expected "Big Brother1" to be her first word!

On cloud nine, Zhang Yang smiled happily and said, "Felice, do you know who you are?"

Felice was surprised at the sudden question and went quiet, as she dwelled in her sea of thoughts. After a slight wincing, Felice shook her head and replied, "I think I do, but whenever I try to remember it, I would have a headache!"

Zhang Yang walked closer to her and patted her head gently. She was at his shoulder height, and it was easy for Zhang Yang to rub the top of her head.

"There's no need to hurt yourself thinking about it. You'll have my word that I will protect you!"

"Yes, big brother!" Felice nodded her head enthusiastically.

Zhang Yang opened Felice's profile window and analyzed her properties.

[Felice] (Humanoid)

Level: 30

HP: 43,530

Defense: 1,960

Melee Attack: 5,888 – 6,488 (Attack Interval: 3.8 seconds)

Special: {Seal 1} {Seal 2} {Seal 3} {Seal 4}

Note: Zhan Yu's Battle Companion

Zhang Yang was greatly blown away when he saw Felice's long HP, thick Defense, and her absurd attack power. She was only Level 30 and yet, she already had 40,000 HP! Han Ying Xue herself had only close to 50,000 HP despite being higher than Level 90, and that was already under the effects of Zhang Yang's Vitality Aura buff. Felice currently possesses much more HP than what Zhang Yang had at her level! And she was far from her full potential!

As for her attacking power, even though {Blazing Dragon's Spear} was not too impressive since it would merely be an extra attack above the regular attack. However, the skill was inherently strong, since it had Fire elemental damage, which could ignore Physical Defense. {Dragon's Spear Barrage} was strong. It had a fixed chance to stun, and could even be used on a boss!

Lastly, transformation?

Zhang Yang asked curiously. "Felice, you can transform?"

"Yes, big brother!" With a quick concentration, Felice glowed brightly and morphed into a beautiful Dragonhawk. She grew a long tail and a pair of beautiful wings that had an eight-meter-wide wingspan. From the size of a regular human, she had morphed into a 5-meter long flying majestic beast. Her feathers were gleaming with various vibrant colors.

[Felice] (Dragonhawk)

Level: 30

HP: 32,950

Defense: 880

Magic Attack: 3,192 – 3,792

Skills:

[Pulverizing Flame: Breathes fires from above, deals 3,000 Fire damage every second to an area, 10x10 meters wide. Lasts for 10 seconds. Requires channeling. Cooldown: 30 seconds. Cost: 100 Focus.

[Fire Missile: Fire a Fire Missile at a target. Deals 200% Magic, Fire elemental damage. Casting time: 2 seconds. Cost: 20 Focus.

Additional Effect: Can Fly.

Hmph. Strong.

Right then, Felice was already really strong. Something about the four seals on her properties had to mean something. Unsealing them would probably unseal even more power. Right then, Zhang Yang had come to an understanding, that perhaps the main story quest reward was indeed worth it, after all!

Sadly, even though Felice's Dragonhawk mode was strong, she could not carry Zhang Yang, even though she could fly. At most, she could lift Zhang Yang via her claws for a short distance, before having to put Zhang Yang down.

Zhang Yang proceeded to kill his way deeper into the new world. As he arrived at his intended destination, Felice had reached Level 64 and had gained a massive boost to all of her stats.

The destination where Zhang Yang had arrived at was a small town. Right then, Zhang Yang was standing on top of a large hill facing directly towards the town. From the top of the hill, Zhang Yang could clearly see the overall landscape of the entire town. The town was occupied by humans. Their buildings and structures were mostly westernized, with a large empty plaza in the center of the town. The stereotypical giant clock was situated at the entrance instead.

Zhang Yang was sure that this town was the first territory that China players had first conquered in his previous life. Even though there were better territories in later maps, this map was important, since it determined the ease of teleportation between the outside world and the Chaos Realm.

This little town was the first station that any player would come through from China region, and also the only obstacle that any player that wanted to invade China's region. They could either fight their way through, sneak through, or better, fly above the town if they had Flying Mounts.

However so, if any Tom Dick or Harry could get their hands on a Flying Mount, and fly over territories, this little town would not have such significant value in the first place.

This town would play an important role in the defense of China's region territory. If someone from other regions had taken over this place, they would have gained unrestricted access to China's Chaos Realm portal, and would be able to march in to take over any China's territory at will.

Zhang Yang had the highest bit of determination to conquer this territory, however, there was one major problem. He did not know how to obtain the town's [Territory Command Order]! Might as well take a stroll around town before jumping to any random conclusions.

There were many tall cliffs after the hill. The land was extremely hard to venture if one were to travel on foot. Unless he had a Flying Mount now, Zhang Yang would have to walk down the hill from the south and travel around the entire mountainous region, only to circle back again to reach the town.

Very soon, after descending the hill, Zhang Yang arrived at a small graveyard. This place had already become a playground for the Spectres. There were many rotting corpses walking around the place that made eerie, skin-crawl inducing shrieks.

[Wandering Skeletal Soldier] (Normal, Specter)

Level: 105

HP: 16,200

Defense: 100

Ranged Attack: 4,808 – 5,408

Melee Attack: 3,128 – 3,728

[Armor Break: Deals 150 Ranged attack to a target, and reduces 50% of the target's defense value. Lasts for 10 seconds.

Note: Fallen soldier of the war that had taken place 7 years ago. Countless brave warriors had sacrificed their lives to protect the land from invading demons

"Hold! Don't go any further!"

Just as Zhang Yang was about to enter the battlefield, and an older gentleman walked towards him. The man had a walking staff, and had trouble walking towards Zhang Yang.

[Grave Keeper Douglas] (Normal, Humanoid)

Level: 1

Note: Not combatant NPC.

Zhang Yang turned to the old man and said, "Do not worry for me, old man. I am very strong. The monsters here can't touch me!"

When Zhang Yang stopped his tracks, Felice flew down from the sky and reverted to her human form to stand beside him.

"What I'm worried of, isn't you, son." Said Douglas nonchalantly, which made Zhang Yang slightly ticked off. "I don't want 'you' to harm 'them'!"

Zhang Yang raised an eyebrow. "What are you talking about? Have you gone senile? Aren't they Spectres?" said Zhang Yang.

"You are right. They 'are' Spectres. Listen to me dear boy. Many years ago, there was a war that befell this land. These Spectres that roamed around here were the human heroes who had sacrificed themselves to fight and preserve peace for the town of Morning." Douglas explained the situation, while walking around the graveyard, dusting off the dried leaves on one of the tombstones.

Zhang Yang had a sudden thought. The name of the town, Morning, was the name of the territory that he wanted to conquer. Since he had no clue on how to obtain the town's [Territory Command Order, it was best to follow the quest here rather than just roam around aimlessly without a clear lead.

Zhang Yang stopped to think for quite some time before saying, "I cannot allow these Spectres here to roam around freely. What if someone were to get hurt or killed by them? Heroes or not, they are now Spectres. If someone were to be gravely injured, who is to be held responsible?" said Zhang Yang.

Douglas cringed. "They are brave warriors! They fought in the war and died! If someone were to approach them, the dead warrior would attack out of their unrelenting fighting spirits. Perhaps, there is a way to save them. Only with the Calming Ethereal Holy Water, these Spectres would rest in peace."

Zhang Yang interjected immediately and said, "Old man, where can I find this holy water? As an adventurer, I pledged my sword to fight for peace! Please allow me to search this holy water to bring peace to these fallen heroes."

"If you are as strong as you said, you can make your way to the Poison Blood Valley. In the deepest part of the Valley, there is a small spring. That spring contains the Calming Ethereal Holy Water." The old man shook his head in disappointment before walking away. "I must say, you are not the first warrior to venture to the Poison Blood Valley. There were many warriors like you, who claimed to be strong, but never returned. I am certain that you would be the last to go, and I hope that you would be the first to make it back alive." The old man had not sincerity in his words.

'Ding! Douglas had a quest for you: Calming Ethereal Holy Water. Will you accept it?'

Accept.

'Ding! You have obtained an item: Empty Flask!'

[Calming Ethereal Holy Water] (Difficulty Level: B)

Quest Description: Head to the depths of the Poison Blood Valley and returned the water from the spring. Be adviced, the Poison Blood Valley is a place of great danger. Be alert at all times. Bring a comrade if necessary. Poison Blood Valley is located in the West.

Progress: Calming Ethereal Holy Water 0/1

Zhang Yang smiled and nodded politely before leaving. "Felice, let's go."

"Yes, big brother," said Felice obediently, like a little sister. She morphed into the Dragonhawk form without Zhang Yang asking. Zhang Yang stared at the mythical beast, hoping that he too, would quickly stumble upon a Flying Mount as soon as possible. Unlike regular pet mounts, a Flying Mount was extremely rare, and would take a lot of luck to stumble upon.

Zhang Yang, Felice, and the white bear slaughtered random beasts along the way and quickly arrived the Poison Blood Valley. The valley got its name from a long flowing river that flowed down the center of the valley. Instead of normal blue waters, the river had greenish, thick, lumpy liquid that flows from the edge of the valley. From afar, Zhang Yang could already smell the putrid smell of the water. On both sides of the river were stone paths that were dyed in deep red colors. Zhang Yang did not know if the pathway was dyed with blood or if it was just a natural occurrence. There were herbs growing along the crimson pathway.

Just then Zhang Yang realized that, he had not yet released the Herb Foraging Familiar! Zhang Yang quickly summoned out the familiar, paid the 1,000 gold coins fee and allowed the familiar to roam. Right when the familiar appeared at his feet, it quickly flew behind Zhang Yang and circled around carefully. The little critter stared at Felice with hostility and decided to flap its tiny little wings and disappear into the nearby forest. Perhaps, the little critter was already annoyed at Wei Yan Er's random "assaults" and was preparing to escape when it was summoned out.

Thump...Thump…Thump…

There were loud, heavy footsteps echoing through the land. Before Zhang Yang could do anything else, a large, 10 meters tall giant walked pass Zhang Yang not far from where he stood. The orc wore nothing but a crude loincloth and a long spikey club that rested on his left shoulder. His right arm was dragging the carcass of a dead leopard that had been flattened to the point where its limbs were not in their regular positions.

[Savage Man-Eating Orc] (Elite, Humanoid)

Level: 110

HP: 1,100,000

Defense: 1,200

Melee Attack: 9,194 – 9,994

[Head Bash: Forcefully bashes the target's head, dealing 150% melee damage and stunning the target for 2 seconds.

Note: One faction of the gigantic orc race. Prefers to behave savagely. Loves human meat.

"Big brother! This giant orc eats human!" cried Felice angrily. She wielded her spear in her hand and made to run towards the orc.

Zhang Yang immediately held his hand out to stop the little girl. "Felice, listen to me. Don't rush into things. He's too strong for you now. Allow me to take this."

At the current stage of the game, the system had already tweaked the Level Suppression Gap to 30 Levels, Felice had only needed to gain 10 levels more to be able to deal unsuppressed damage. By then, she would be a strong attacker in her own right?! Until then, she would have to listen to Zhang Yang and watch from the sidelines. If she dies, she would lose one level, which would put a strain on Zhang Yang. Even though pets and Battle Companions required less experience points compared to players, it would still take ages to level them up!

Zhang Yang hopped onto the bear, and charged towards the giant orc.

"Ohhoo…food. Food coming. Me kill."

The giant orc released the carcass his hand, and he grabbed the club from his shoulders. The orc wielded the spiked club with both of his gigantic hands, and slammed it down at Zhang Yang with the force of a thousand men!

WHAM!

Unfortunately, Zhang Yang was already using the skill - {Wild Charge} and could not move away in the midst of a skill animation. However, Zhang Yang was already prepared for an attack. He held his shield up high, and activated {Block} at the last minute.

'-730!' {Block} reflect damage.

The white bear threw its massive body with the power {Wild Charge}, and swiped its massive claw at the orc's foot.

'-4,412!'

'-4,291!'

As expected from the Yellow-Gold battle mount, its attack was as strong as Zhang Yang. It was a pity that the bear was only Level 98. If Zhang Yang could grind a little more to push it to the threshold of Level 100, the bear attack power would have been a lot higher.

It could not be helped. Zhang Yang had gained so many bonus level rewards from events and quests, causing him to reach higher levels much faster than this battle mount. Bonus levels are rewards granted to the player. As a battle mount would only gain experience points from hands-on battles, the bear would be unable to gain any experience points, despite the system granting the owner bonus levels.

Felice did not just sit quietly. After seeing her "big brother" attacked by the giant orc bully, she jumped into the battle, and morphed into the Dragonhawk, and attacked from afar. From mid-air, she spewed out Fire Missiles, and bombarded the orc with damage values surpassing 6,000!

Zhang Yang was stunned. He had wanted to call out for Felice to withdraw, but when he saw the damage that she had dealt to the orc, despite still having the suppressed damage via the level gap, he gave up on the idea and continued to attack the orc. Her attack power was already beyond the Level 98 bear. If she were to gain more levels and participate in battle with Zhang Yang, she would be the main attacker! By then, Sun Xin Yu and the other super-powered attackers in Zhang Yang's team would not be able to exceed the damage that Felice could deal!

Even though the orc had a little over 1 million HP, Zhang Yang had the bear and Felice, and was able to defeat the boss without a hitch.

Just as Zhang Yang was about to deliver the last killing blow, the orc growled loudly and his spiked club started glowing red. Zhang Yang could not react in time to dodge the slam.

"Club feels good! I smash!"

Wham!

'-7,336!'

Zhang Yang could not counter the attack since {Block} was still in a cooldown state. Blood started to flow down and submerged Zhang Yang's helm. The orc's {Head Bash} was strong enough to even stun Zhang Yang for 2 seconds.

"Big Brother!" Felice cried out in rage. She flew down from the sky and returned to her human form. With a powerful kick on the ground, Felice launched herself at the orc and cast {Dragon's Spear Barrage}.

'-7,867!'

Felice was fortunate to have procced a stun effect on the orc!

TL Note:

1. Big Brother: If you watch Japanese anime, you would know how a person feels when a little girl calls the main character Onii-chan. That sort of feeling was what Zhang Yang felt, Onii-chan…Onii-chan…lol.

Chapter 464: Cleansing the Spectres

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Nicely done!" Zhang Yang cried out. He had the [Heart of the Death Knight] equipped, and would only experience half of the intended stun duration. However, since his character level was already 20 Levels beyond the item level, the equipment's effect would be reduced. Thus, Zhang Yang had experienced 1.2 seconds of the 2 seconds stun.

After a slugfest, Zhang Yang defeated the giant orc and obtained a few pieces of [Inscribed Cloth] and a few silver coins.

When Zhang Yang looted the item, he found the [Inscribed Cloth] odd, considering the fact that the orc only had a short loincloth on. After he finished up with his business there, Zhang Yang called out to Felice. "Let's go!"

"Mm." Felice answered obediently.

Zhang Yang appreciated her words. If only Sun Xin Yu and Han Ying Xue would obey Zhang Yang so obediently, then he could ask them to warm his bed for him. That, or he could just ask them to be nice to each other. He would rather have that, than the constant cold war between the two of them.

Zhang Yang went on and found an old gigantic house that was built from stacking gigantic flat boulders like Legos. The house was so huge that it could be a hall, rather than a house.

Creek…

Before Zhang Yang could go closer to the house, a female orc opened the door and walked out of the stone house. This female orc was much larger in size and height compared to the previous orc that Zhang Yang had just killed. Unlike the male orc, she wore a super-sized bra that held her overly large wrecking-ball sized breast. If she were to have a bra size, it would be beyond human measurements. Perhaps, Silky Soft Holdings could specially manufacture a bra with a ZZ cup size… Or perhaps…not… They would be bankrupt if they were to cater for beasts.

Zhang Yang was not even trying to hide. The female orc turned around and quickly noticed Zhang Yang presence. She growled with a thunderous roar and charged at Zhang Yang. Her roar was so deafening that it hurt Zhang Yang's ear. When she got closer to Zhang Yang, she cracked a sinister smile and cried, "Fresh meat! Human meat! Best meat! I kill! Eat fresh!"

Zhang Yang charged forward with the bear. With agile maneuvers, Zhang Yang bent over and lay down on the bear's back to evade one of the incoming punches, and sliced at the female orc's thigh. It was not that Zhang Yang wanted to attack her legs, the monster was just too huge, and Zhang Yang had no means of jumping any higher than her thighs.

"Hah!" Felice grunted as she changed into a Dragonhawk and fired Fire Missiles to the orc. In just a short minute, Zhang Yang and Felice had killed the Man-Eating Female Orc. Even though he had lost over 70,000 HP, he could recover all his HP loss with a simple activation of {Berserker's Heal}. Compared to anyone else, the monster's basic attack of 9,600 could have killed anyone easily without them having a chance to attack. A normal party would have to bring in at least 5 members before they could even consider attacking the monster.

Zhang Yang moved forward and found many more stone houses like the previous one. Usually, there was only one orc inside. Other times, there were two and, more rarely, three at a time. If Zhang Yang had to fight two orcs at the same time, he would need to use either {Shield Wall}, or {Berserker's Heal}. If he had to fight three orcs at the same time, he would need to use both skills to survive.

Aptly scaled to their difficulty, the orcs had given Zhang Yang a luxurious amount of experience points, which was shared with the bear and Felice. The bear had reached Level 99, and Felice had gained 3 Levels. Zhang Yang alone had only managed to raise a tiny microscopic bump on his experience bar. After Level 100, the experience needed to level up was just too much. Level 96 players would take 1 whole month to reach Level 100, for god's sake!

The Valley was not huge to begin with, and Zhang Yang had only taken 3 hours or so to reach the deepest part of the valley. There, at the edge of a thick forest, Zhang Yang could see a spring. The pool of water was not far from the smelly green colored river, yet it maintained a beautiful, clear color. Zhang Yang soaked his sweaty hands into the pool, and he could see beautiful starlights glistening at the bottom of the pool.

Zhang Yang took out the flask that he had obtained and filled the glass bottle up with the water. The quest notification popped up, and notified a change in the quest.

[Calming Ethereal Holy Water] (Quest Item)

Item Expiration: 4 Hours 59 Minutes 59 Seconds.

Crap!

There was even a time limit for the item! Zhang Yang had greatly appreciated Felice's help in killing the monsters. Thanks to her, they had managed to this spring in 3 hours! Without her, they might have taken close to 6 hours to kill their way there! If they had taken that long to arrive to the spring, the elite monsters that they had killed on their way here would have respawned after 5 hours. That meant Zhang Yang would have to kill the monster on the entrance of the valley again, which would only further delay the time taken to return to the old man! The quest item could have expired and he would either have to double back, or the quest might even be deemed a failure!

Zhang Yang kept the bottle of holy water in his inventory and rushed out of the valley. With no monsters around to block his way, Zhang Yang had only taken 20 minutes to leave the valley and reach the graveyard.

"Old man, I've brought back the water."

Douglas limped his way around and said, "Well. I never expected to see you so soon! You have indeed proven your words!"

Zhang Yang took out the bottle of holy water and gave it to the old man. He was slightly annoyed at the man, when he had previously mentioned the number of warriors who have gone and never came back. Zhang Yang was the first person to arrive at this place. What warriors were he talking about?!

'Ding! You have completed the quest: Calming Ethereal Holy Water. Obtained 5,000,000 Experience Points!'

"This is but the first step, young warrior. What you have to do next is to sprinkle the water on the bones of the fallen warriors. With that, they can finally rest in peace."

'Ding! Douglas has a quest for you: Cleansing the Spectres. Will you accept it?'

[Cleansing the Spectre] (Difficulty Level: C)

Description: Use the holy water and sprinkle it on the Spectres in their graves to grant them peace.

Progress: Cleansed Spectre 0/100

[Calming Ethereal Holy Water] (Quest Item)

Use: Cleanses the souls of the Spectres, granting them peace to leave this world. Can only be used on the corpse of a defeated enemy.

Zhang Yang left the old man behind and went into the graveyard. There were many roaming skeletal warriors, and Zhang Yang had engaged with one in no time. The skeletal warrior had produced a bow out of thin air and had fired an arrow at Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang did not even needed to unsheathe his sword, his bear and Felice had whacked the poor Spectre up in less than 30 seconds.

Zhang Yang walked over to the battle and by the time he had taken out the Holy water, the skeletal warrior was already defeated. Zhang Yang then used the [Calming Ethereal Holy Water] on the corpse. The water was completely absorbed into the bones. Before Zhang Yang could even close the bottle, a human ghost appeared from the remains, and bowed respectfully at Zhang Yang before dispersing into millions of light particles.

One down, 99 more to go.

Light particles spread all over the graveyard as Zhang Yang, Felice, and the bear raided the entire graveyard, and killed every single roaming skeletal monster. A problem was found when Zhang Yang had cleared the entire graveyard and his quest progress was stuck at 99/100. There were no more Spectres for him to cleanse anymore! Even though normal tiered monsters respawned fairly quickly. It would still take 3 hours for them to respawn. To make matters worse, Zhang Yang had only taken close to half an hour to kill every single Spectre within the vicinity! He would have to wait for 2 hours and 30 minutes for the Spectre to spawn again!

Zhang Yang got around the graveyard frantically, and started to search for any leftover monsters that he had missed. Fortunately for him, he finally found one. The skeletal monsters were so similar to that of regular humans! It was natural for Zhang Yang to miss out one or two. The one he found was rather different, compared to the regular skeletal monsters. It was seated on the ground, and was resting his head on his palms, like he was actually thinking.

Zhang Yang paced over to the skeletal monster and had Felice kill the thing in less than 4 strokes. When Zhang Yang poured the holy water on its remains, a human ghost appeared. But this time, the ghost carried a name tag.

[Sous's Soul] (Spirit)

Level: 1

This ghost was not the same as the previous 99 souls that Zhang Yang had cleansed. After it appeared, the ghost had bowed at Zhang Yang and had opened its ethereal mouth. "Forgive me for asking. But, could you, kind adventurer, fulfill my one last wish?"

Zhang Yang nodded. "Do you have unfinished business?"

"Yes." Sous nodded and gazed at the general direction of Morning Town. "I have a younger sister living in that town. She's… She was born blind. My parents were killed by the demons a long time ago. Hence, both of us had grown up together. However, I left this earth a little too early to let go of my younger sister! I cannot leave this world not knowing that she is safe without me! Before I left her to join the expedition army, I had promised to return to her with a Star Spirit Flower. That flower is a mythical flower that would cure anything, even the blind! However, now that I am dead, I cannot fulfill my promise. Adventurer, I beg of you, to bring my sister a Star Spirit Flower. She is called Luilina. Please, do this in my stead."

'Ding! Sous's Soul has a quest for you: Sous's Last Wish. Will you accept it?'

Zhang Yang nodded his head and said, "You are a respected human being and a kind brother. I give you my word."

"I thank you from the bottom of my heart, young adventurer," said Sous before his soul faded away.

There was a long silence, when suddenly, Felice hugged Zhang Yang from behind. With tears in her eyes, she pleaded, "Big Brother! You cannot leave me behind!"

Zhang Yang smiled. "Silly child. I promised you, didn't I? I will always be there to protect you!" Zhang Yang patted her head.

"Mm…"

Zhang Yang opened the quest log and read the quest description.

[Sous's Last Wish] (Difficulty Level: B)

Description: Sous wishes that you will help him deliver a special flower to his younger sister, Luilina. Such a flower can only be found at the highest peak of Red Copper Mountain. Red Copper Mountain is located to the south. Luilina is currently living in the outskirts of Morning Town.

Progress: Obtained the Star Spirit Flower 0/1

Zhang Yang first returned to Douglas and completed the mission for only 200,000 experience points. However, despite the abysmal amount of experience points, Zhang Yang was not disappointed. The main quest was not cleansing the Spectres. He knew that the quest might have led him to another which, he hoped, could lead him to get the [Territory Command Order, for Morning Town.

Zhang Yang rode towards the south, with Felice in her Dragonhawk form. The little merry party reached to the Red Copper Mountain, after only 2 hours of hiking.

The mountain was grand and tall. The Red Copper Mountain had gotten its name from the color of the soil and the color of the trees growing ever so scarcely around the mountain. With little to no trees at all, the surface of the mountain was made up of steep cliffs, which made climbing it rather difficult. However, it did not stop Zhang Yang from reaching halfway through where he had encountered the first monster. The monster was a large snake that measured close to 10 meters in length.

[Spectrum Venomous Snake] (Normal, Beast)

Level: 110

HP: 17,600

Defense: 100

Magic Attack: 3,106 – 3,506 (Natural Damage)

Chapter 465: Flying Mount!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Puah!

A venomous projectile flew through the air and splattered all over Zhang Yang's armor. The green liquid almost immediately started sliding off his armor. The damage done to him was only 3,061 Natural damage.

The monsters in the Chaos Realm were a distinct step above their pre-Chaos Realm brethren. Immediately, Felice started acting on her own, without waiting for a single word from Zhang Yang. She shot down from the sky, and morphed back into an energetic young woman. With a quick thrust of her spear, Felice stabbed the snake.

'-6,201!'

She was already Level 77, having grown far stronger since the time Zhang Yang fought the orcs. Sadly, her attacks have been reduced by the system's Level Gap suppression. On monsters over level 107, she would only deal 50% of her damage! However, even with half of her attacks "taken" away by the system, one attack from her spear was already enough to take away 1/3 of the snake's HP.

Zhang Yang smirked. He was extremely satisfied to see how much Felice had grown. To speed things up, Zhang Yang and the bear joined the fray, landing one attack each and killing the snake before it could even launch a second attack.

She could already deal such a high amount of damage at only Level 77. What would happen when she reaches Level 100? Would she kill a monster with one hit? Zhang Yang could not wait to find out. With her alone, Zhang Yang would be unstoppable!

He reached down and picked up the loot, obtaining a few pieces of [Snake Meat]. He could bring the materials back and pass it to any guild member who has taken up the Cooking profession.

Zhang Yang continued up the mountainous road and killed more snakes that ambushed him. The snakes were hiding in the creeks along the pathway and they had jumped up from behind Zhang Yang as he walked past by. Zhang Yang was not bothered by it. He was already strong to begin with. Now that he had Felice and his bear together with him, he killed them all in less than 2 hits. Zhang Yang killed on and on and managed to get the bear to Level 100, while Felice had reached Level 80.

The Level 100 Gold-Eared White Bear had 43,680 HP with Zhang Yang's Vitality Aura boost, and an Attack Power of 5,886 – 6,486, attacking once every 3 seconds. Its DPS was at 2,062.

As for Felice, she was at Level 80 and had a total HP of 139,300 in her human form, boosted by Zhang Yang's Vitality Aura. Her melee attack power was 14,145 – 15,145 with an attack interval of 3.8 seconds. Her DPS was 3,855.

Zhang Yang had nothing to say. The bear had a great track record from the beginning. This was just the bear living up to its standards. That alone pleased Zhang Yang. But when he saw Felice's stats, he was overjoyed, and slightly ashamed. Felice's stats had already surpassed his own! His own HP was 97,190, his attack was 4,081 – 4,481, and his DPS was 1,529. How could he be the master when his Battle Companion is already stronger than him!

"Felice. You make me feel so tiny!" said Zhang Yang, with a sigh. Right now, he could not live up to his promise to protect her. Right now, it's the other way around!

Felice smiled warmly and said, "Big Brother, you need not worry! I'm sure big brother will be stronger in the future."

Such a kind little girl, unlike that little brat Wei Yan Er who would always tease him at every chance she gets!

As they continued on slaying more and more snakes and obtaining more [Snake Meat, Zhang Yang found an odd little shiny thing lying next to the [Snake Meat].

"Hmm?"

It was a snake, measuring only about half a foot long. It was completely white, and had silvery lining all over its tiny, miniature body. For someone like Zhang Yang, he could appreciate the snake's beauty. Its eyes were smaller than green peas, but the brilliant green would actually surpass a jade!

The odd thing about it was the fact that the snake had a pair of tiny little wings sticking out from its back. It was actually hovering a few inches from the ground!

[Juvenile Snowy Scale Wind Serpent] (Rare Yellow-Gold Flying Mount, Beast)

Level: 0

Note: Can be sealed.

A flying mount!

Zhang Yang eyes glinted with joy! He had never expected to find a Flying Mount so soon in the Chaos Realm! Even though it was only a Yellow-Gold tier, Zhang Yang did not mind having a lower attack power mount, since the primary purpose of a Flying Mount is to fly! Just by being the first player to obtain a Flying Mount was enough for him to ignore the shortcomings of it. It was just lying there for him to take! What is there to complain about?!

Zhang Yang immediately took out a [Sealing Lease] and used it on the little Wind Serpent to seal it.

1%...2%...3%...57%...Pak! Fail…

As if the little serpent had taken notice of Zhang Yang's presence, it extended its wings and started to take off. Felice immediately morphed into her Dragonhawk form and growled at it. Seeing a large hostile enemy coming at it, the little serpent turned around and cowered behind Zhang Yang's greaves.

It was natural to be afraid of Felice. She did carry the name - "Dragon" after all!

Zhang Yang took out another [Sealing Lease] and used it to the little serpent.

1%...2%...34%... Pak! Fail…

Zhang Yang remained calm, he still had 8 more turns to make it his. On the other hand, Felice was agitated. In a louder voice, she growled and shrieked at the little serpent. The poor little fellow trembled and curled up at Zhang Yang's greaves. Felice growled again in a lower volume, as if she was trying to convey a warning. The little serpent better submits itself to Zhang Yang, or she would gobble it up!

Zhang Yang tried for the third time.

1%...2%...3%...97%...98%...99%...100%!

'Ding! You have successfully sealed the Juvenile Snow Scale Wind Serpent as your Flying Mount!'

'Ding! You have captured your first Flying Mount! The tutorial will commence. Before Level 30, the Flying Mount cannot be used as a Mount nor a Battle Mount. The Juvenile Snow Scale Wind Serpent will follow the player around upon summoning and will share a portion of the experience points you gain from combat. The Flying Mount will be usable after reaching Level 30. When the Flying Mount reaches Level 100, it can be used to ferry multiple players at the same time. Please visit the official site for more inquiries or use the in-game communicator to speak to one of our correspondents. Please enjoy the game. Thank you.'

The Juvenile Snow Scale Wind Serpent had disappeared from the world and Zhang Yang inventory had gained a new lease.

Zhang Yang smiled, as he thought it that was funny to think that the serpent will acquiesce to a kind approach instead of tough love. It was like the serpent was in a police interrogation room, and he was playing the role of the good cop while Felice acted as the bad cop.

"Nice one!"

"Teehee…" Felice blushed and nodded her head in acknowledgment. Zhang Yang could not take that level of cuteness and had to caress her head softly.

Zhang Yang summoned the little serpent out to gain experience. Since it was only Level 0, the little serpent was hovering around by his side like a pet that would not contribute in any battles. It would have to gain more experience to level up and reach Level 30 to attack. Zhang Yang did not mind having the snake leech experience points from him. He did, after all, gain the first Flying Mount. The joy of it was justifiable! Level 30 was nothing. Zhang Yang could find a massive field and start mass-killing to gain that amount of experience points easily. Plus, he wasn't technically alone. He had Felice in her Dragonhawk form and she alone, could wipe the monsters out!

After half an hour of hiking, Zhang Yang arrived at the mountain top but had yet to find the Star Spirit Flower. Zhang Yang circled around the top of the mountain and stumble upon a large Three-Headed Crimson Hydra that was resting on a large boulder. The Hydra was at least 30 to 40 meters in both height and width. Its scales were deep red in color. Zhang Yang would not have noticed the Hydra if not for three heads sticking out from the massive body.

All three head of the Hydra shared the same shape, but each of them had a distinct color. One was green, one was red, and one was white. The heads were all triangular in shape, making it look like a king cobra.

[Three-Headed Crimson Hydra] (Yellow-Gold, Beast)

Level: 115

HP: 5,750,000

Defense: 2,000

Melee Attack: 12,434 – 13,434

Magic Attack: 7,390 – 7,990

Skills:

[Fatal Poison: Causes {Poisoned} to a target, and deals 200% Magic damage of Natural element. The target will have a certain chance to receive the same damage as the previous attack. Lasts for 15 seconds. Effect does not stack.

[Burning Fangs: Spits poisonous fire projectiles at the target. Deals 200% Magic damage in the form of Fire Damage. Causes the target have a certain chance to be blinded. Lasts for 15 seconds. Effect does not stack.

[Ice Burst: Fires an Icy projectile to the target. Deals 200% Magic attack in the form of Ice Damage. Immobilizes the target for 5 seconds.

Note: The King of snakes at Red Copper Mountain. Be advised, many have fallen to the Hydra.

In almost every common situation, the quest item would be situated right next to a boss which would have to be killed before the player could retrieve the quest item.

Instead of jumping into battle, he turned around to scout the area. Behind the boss, hiding among the smaller rocks around, was a mythical flower. The flower was shiny, and had petals that glowed with the starry shine of a star!

Although Zhang Yang was too far away from the flower, and could not directly access the properties window of the flower, but he was already guessing that it was the quest item he needed.

Zhang Yang turned around and checked Felice's stats. She was already Level 83 and was 32 levels behind the boss. She would still suffer from the Level Gap Suppression attack reduction. After a few seconds of thinking, Zhang Yang said, "Let's skip the boss for now. We'll find some more monsters to grind and gain a few levels before we fight the boss."

Felice lowered her head. "I'm sorry, Felice is too weak to fight. I'm sorry for dragging big brother's feet."

Zhang Yang caressed her head and said, "There's nothing wrong. You have done a great job growing so fast. Without you here, I would already have been overwhelmed."

Felice's sorrow turned into a smile, and she followed Zhang Yang down the mountain to kill a few more monsters. Zhang Yang had even unsummoned the bear and the little serpent to increase the experience gain for Felice. After an hour of speed grinding, Felice finally reached Level 85. Although her stats were about the same as when she was Level 80, her attacks would not suffer any reduction from the Level gap Suppression when she fights the Hydra.

Zhang Yang summoned the bear and the Juvenile Flying Serpent, and returned to the hill to prepare for the boss fight. The white bear was the attacker, but Juvenile Flying Serpent had yet to reach Level 30. To hasten the progress of it becoming a legitimate flying mount, Zhang Yang had to summon it out to feed it experience points.

"Alright. Let's kill the Hydra!"

Zhang Yang jumped onto the bear and charged bravely at the Hydra.

{Spear of Obliteration}!

'-4,219!'

"HSSS!" The Hydra immediately shot up and hissed loudly. At that close proximity, Zhang Yang could finally observe the entire boss' body. It was a streamlined creature with no legs. Like a normal snake, it had a long body, and the three heads branched out from 2/3 of its frontal end.

FWOOSH!

Like a one meter steel pillar flying down from above, the Hydra lashed its tail at Zhang Yang's head.

{Block}!

Zhang Yang lifted his shield and successfully blocked the tail attack. Now that the boss was only a Yellow-Gold tier, Zhang Yang did not suffer any knockback effects, and could even swat the tail aside, as if it was made of straw! Bullying the boss was possible thanks to his Violet-Platinum equipment!

Chapter 466: Luilina

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Hydra resumed an attack stance. After the green head retracted back, the red color head expanded the venom sac below its jaw and spat out a stream of fire, passing right through Zhang Yang's face.

'-9,882!'

Zhang Yang rolled over quickly. He had already taken a huge amount of damage, and had also gained a debuff called [Burning, which could induce {Blindness} at a certain rate within 15 seconds.

"Bloody snake! How dare you!" Felice jumped into the air and changed to her Dragonhawk form. She shot into the sky and flew closer to the boss, attacking him with a [Fire Missile] to enact vengeance.

'-8,921!'

The boss took its share of damage, slightly higher than what it had done to Zhang Yang, and wiggled its head.

Zhang Yang frowned. Right then, Felice was only 30 Levels behind the Hydra. Technically, her attacks should be higher than that! Zhang Yang thought for a while and had an idea. "Felice! Attack the white head after this!"

"Yes! Big brother!" Felice nodded her head and flapped her wings to readjust her position in the air to target the white head.

Pew!

'-17,188!'

Bingo!

The Hydra took almost double the original damage. All three heads retracted and winced in pain.

"Big Brother! You're a genius!" Felice cried out happily.

Zhang Yang laughed. Felice's attack was fire based. The red color head of the Hydra should be Fire based as well. Hence, it should have a higher resistance towards Fire attacks! That was the reason why Felice's attack could not inflict the damage that it was meant to be.

Even though the three heads were dealing elemental-based magic attacks, it still preferred to use melee attacks. Using its massive and thick snake body, Hydra hurled itself at Zhang Yang, far more often than it did use a magical attack. As a Guardian, Zhang Yang had a higher affinity to physical Defense. He would take no more than 6,000 damage whenever {Block} was not available.

Occasionally, the boss would spew green colored clouds to poison Zhang Yang. At other times, it would blow out a cloud of ice to freeze Zhang Yang for 5 seconds. The Fire attack was also used occasionally to blind Zhang Yang. During {Blindness}, Zhang Yang could only guess the location of the Hydra and hack away blindly.

Felice was performing at her best. More and more {Fire Missiles} were sent to the white head, dealing a constant damage of 17,000 and higher. However, during the moments when Zhang Yang could not attack or be rendered immobilized, he would lose a great deal of aggro, causing the Hydra to target Felice instead.

When the Hydra switched its target, it turned to Felice and pounced, extending its neck and biting down on Felice. Felice was not able to dodge in time, and was brought down to the land by the boss. Within a split second, Felice had morphed back to her human form and started going to work with her spear.

In her Dragonhawk form, Felice was vulnerable to attacks, since her Defense was only 880. However, in her Human form, Felice's Defense was significantly higher at 3,760 Defense value.

Felice was only Level 85, but her stats were higher than normal. Hence, she could fight toe-to-toe with the Yellow-Gold boss, and showed no signs of losing! Zhang Yang could not help but frown with worry. Ever since he had entered the game, this was his first time being OTed. Luckily the target that OTed him was an NPC. If that was not the case, he would have been ashamed of himself.

"Stinky snake! I am your opponent! Why are you attacking a little girl for! Do you not know shame!" cried Zhang Yang. He came out of the icy prison and headed to the boss. With quick action, Zhang Yang cast {Provoke} and managed to draw the attention of the boss.

"Big Brother! I'm not afraid of the snake! I can take him on!" said Felice as she morphed back to her Dragonhawk form and attacked the Hydra with more {Fire Missile}. Even though she had much higher Defense in her Human form, she could deal much higher damage in her Dragonhawk form!

Zhang Yang hacked at the boss and said, "Big brother is a Guardian. Let big brother take the hits! Felice can attack him while I draw his attention!"

"Yes! Big brother!" said Felice obediently and continued her barrage of {Fire Missiles}.

Together, their continuous attacks had forced the Hydra to flinch and hiss, more than anything else. At one point, the Hydra had to move its massive body around, whipping its tail all over the terrain and smashing the boulders around into tiny pebbles.

Felice was just too powerful. Her Dragonhawk form had more than 9,000 DPS, which was much more than Zhang Yang, even with the bear helping out! Felice was even stronger than the super attackers like Sun Xin Yu, Daffodil Daydream, and Lost Dream!

Zhang Yang was extremely grateful to have her. Fuh! As expected of the first-born Battle Companion in the entire game!

Needless to say, the boss was just a Yellow-Gold boss, and only lasted for about 6 minutes, before it curled up and died with a sorrowful wail.

By the end of the battle, Zhang Yang had used both {Shield Wall} and {Berserker's Heal}.

Shring! Shring! Shring!

The boss gave a large amount of experience points, allowing Felice, the white bear, and the flying serpent to gain levels. Even though the experience points was shared equally to all parties, the amount of experience points was enough to grant the little flying serpent 5 levels, pushing its level from Level 27 to Level 32 in one go. With that, the little flying serpent immediately grew to become a 7 meter long, flying serpent!

Since it had reached the Level 30 threshold, the flying serpent could no longer appear in the field as a pet and had turned into a small light orb, returning to Zhang Yang's inventory.

"Big brother! I'll help you pick the flower!" said Felice proactively. She morphed into her Dragonhawk form and flew over to the cliff side to pick the Star Spirit Flower.

Hmm. This should be how a little girl behaves. If Wei Yan Er ever behaved in such a way however, it would probably only happen during the end of the world.

As Felice flew back to Zhang Yang, he went over to the loot and picked up 4 equipment. 3 of them were Gray-Silver tiers and the remaining one was a Yellow-Gold tier.

[Snake Scale Chest Plate] (Yellow-Gold, Leather Armor)

Defense: 24

Vitality: 370

Strength: 331

Dexterity: 148

Equip Effect: Increases your attack and healing rate by 2%.

Level Requirement: 110

Zhang Yang swooped all the equipment into his inventory, only examining the Yellow-Gold equipment. For him, none of the equipment was worth keeping. At least, they could be sold for some tens of thousands of gold coins as a reward for killing the Hydra. It was a good amount of side income to feed those girls in his house.

By then, Felice had arrived at Zhang Yang's side. She handed the flower to Zhang Yang and stood aside, quietly and obediently.

With quest completed, Zhang Yang unsummoned the bear and replaced his mount with the Snow Scale Flying Serpent. The flying serpent was 7 meters in length. Its wingspan was 10 meters wide. It was no less intimidating than Felice's Dragonhawk form.

Felice only glared at the Flying Serpent, and the proud flying serpent retracted its head closer to its body. It stared at Felice with admiration.

Zhang Yang cracked a laugh and mounted the flying serpent, descending the mountain.

It was a pity that the Level 32 flying serpent could only "glide" around the surface, instead of actually flying. Whenever Zhang Yang encountered a larger obstacle, it could not fly over and could only circle around it. Luckily, as the flying serpent could travel in the air, it was still much faster than the white bear. After a few hours, Zhang Yang arrived at Morning Town.

The small town was empty and had little to no people walking in the streets. After Zhang Yang explored the entire town, he had only stumbled upon less than 10 pedestrians. Thankfully, the streets were clear enough for Zhang Yang to speed through to reach the western outskirts of the town, where Sous' little sister, Luilina resided.

Zhang Yang arrived at a small, flower garden that had many beautiful flowers, planted unevenly throughout the garden. The person who did the gardening was clearly not a professional. Zhang Yang trod across the garden carefully and saw a small hut at the west end of the garden. The door was wide open, and there was no one inside the house.

Zhang Yang guessed that the small house belonged to Luilina. But, where was the person?

Zhang Yang frowned and started to kick some dirt around the garden, thinking about her possible locations. Just then, Felice cried out, "Big brother! Over there!" Felice pointed at the far side of the garden. A girl was walking out of the forest, carrying a small flower basket in her left arm, and a walking stick at her right.

[Luilina] (Normal, Humanoid)

Level:1

Note: Sous' little sister, a poor, blind girl.

Luilina looked like she was already at her 18s. She had a long blonde hair that flowed gently in the wind. Her complexion was perfect, and she had a slender, lithe body. She would have been the perfect woman to marry, if not for her permanently closed eyes. The dress she wore was aged and cheap. Although there were patches all over her dress, it had been well taken care off.

Naturally, her hearing would be well-honed, so she quickly noticed Zhang Yang's presence from afar, and raised her head at his general direction. She opened her eyelids and exposed a pair of clouded eyes, "Who's there?"

"I'm a friend of your brother," said Zhang Yang softly.

"My brother's friend?" Luilina spoke softly. There was an obvious tone of sorrow in her voice.

Zhang Yang got her attention and proceeded to give the flower to the girl. At first, she was genuinely surprised for receiving such a flower. But no sooner, a smile appeared. "Did brother…ask you to deliver this flower?'

When the girl received the flower, it started glowing brightly. Particles of light seeped out of the petals and flew into Luilina's eyes. The cloudy layer of her eyes dissipated, and her normal black pupils were revealed. More and more light particles zoomed into her eyes and made both of them glow with a soft radiance.

"I…I…I can see!" cried the petite, little girl happily. Tears started to flow down her pinkish cheeks and she pointed her fingers to the surroundings. "T-The sky is blue! I can see it! The trees are green! Red roses too! Ah! I see them blooming! How beautiful! *sob*."

'Ding! You have completed the quest: Sous' Last Wish. Obtained 200,000 Experience Points!'

Zhang Yang wiped away her tears and said, "You brother, Sous never forgot the promise he made. Luilina. From the bottom of my heart, I am sorry for your loss. You have the world's best brother!"

Luilina smiled cheerfully and said, "Indeed he was."

Felice pouted her lips and before she could say anything, Zhang Yang pulled her back. "I'm glad that you think so."

Luilina smiled at Zhang Yang and said, "You're a good big brother as well! I must thank you for granting his last wish. Please, rest at my house. It's not far from here!"

When a girl offers an invitation, there's no reason to reject. Especially, since he had nothing to do after the quest was completed. Perhaps, her invitation to her house might trigger some sort of event!

All three of them walked to her house and made themselves comfortable. Although the house was not big, nor luxuriously decorated, it was tidy and clean. There was even a scent of flowery smell that lingered around the house. The three of them started to talk. Luilina talked about her brother, where during the whole time Felice could not help but to divert the conversation to be about Zhang Yang.

Not long, the glow in Luilina's eyes faded away and a layer of cloudy membrane coated her eyes. Luilina returned to become a blind girl.

Zhang Yang was surprised. The Star Spirit Flower was potent enough to shed light into the eyes of a blind girl, allowing her to see temporarily, but not cure her blindness.

"Erhm…Luilina…" said Zhang Yang.

"Worry not, big brother. I am happy. Although it was momentary, I had my fun looking at the world." Luilina turned to Zhang Yang with her dead eyes and smiled.

Zhang Yang hesitated, but eventually caved in and revealed to Luilina, her brother's story. He told her about the war, the expedition, Sous' death, and even how Sous was able to rest in peace knowing that Zhang Yang was able to fulfill his last wish. Luilina cried endlessly when she listened to Zhang Yang's story.

Time passed on when Zhang Yang realized that, it was already late in the evening. Zhang Yang bade Luilina farewell and headed back to town.

Zhang Yang felt annoyed. Luilina's tragic loss and her sad life had left him hanging with a cliffhanger end to the quest. Zhang Yang wandered about town aimlessly, unable to get over it yet. However, a short distance away from Luilina's house, he spotted three drunk youngsters zigzagging around. They were obviously heavily intoxicated.

Zhang Yang took notice of them but did put it into his mind. Not until the thought of it returned to him after the silhouette of Morning Town came to his vision. Besides the forest, there was nothing outside the town, besides Luilina's house. The three drunk youngsters must be heading to Luilina's! To make things worse, they were drunk, intoxicated, and tipsy. They could do things to a helpless, blind girl living alone!

Zhang Yang turned around swiftly and shot towards Luilina's house without hesitation.

Just when he touched down, he heard a loud scream of a girl coming from inside Luilina's house. Rage built up in his heart and Zhang Yang ran towards the house.

The door was left opened and Zhang Yang could see the three drunkards holding Luilina down, their hands roughly exploring her body! Her dress was torn apart, leaving the most important places still intact. If Zhang Yang had been slightly later, he might have been too late.

One of the youngsters was shouting dementedly, "Stop pretending, little minx! Consider it your lucky day that a man such as I would be willing to touch you! You'll be thanking me when I'm done with you! Haha! In fact, you'll be begging for more!"

"Haha! Young Master Bendoch is right! The little minx is indeed beautiful! It's a shame that those pretty eyes do not work, or else she would have been the most beautiful girl in town!" said another man.

"Enough! Get on it already. I'm waiting for my turn!" said the last youngster as he started to remove his pants.

Zhang Yang was still at the entrance of the house as they expressed their monstrous intentions. With heavy killing aura, Zhang Yang shot into the house and swung his sword in a wide arc, as hard as he could.

"ARGH!" one of the youngsters got hit and wailed in pain as he lost a large portion of his HP.

They were all Level 105 normal tier NPCs. Such a strike should have killed them easily!

Chapter 467: Begging for Life, when Death Knocks

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"You! Who are you!" One of them looked like their ringleader, the one they called Young Master Bendoch shouted at Zhang Yang with anger. The moment one of them had been slashed, the other two had sobered up immediately upon the sight of spilled blood.

"Me? I am no one. Just a passing grim reaper!"

Zhang Yang took note of their green colored name tags and was troubled by it. Killing a friendly NPC would not do him any good. There might even be a chance of him increasing the enmity of the residents who live in the town of Morning. It might even affect the quest availability or worse, he might not even able to get himself a [Territory Command Order].

Right then, Zhang Yang had already succumbed to his anger. With furious killing intent in his eyes, his brandish his sword, not hiding his intention to spare any of them. When Felice arrived at Zhang Yang's side, she was infuriated. Fiery sparks burst out of from the tip of her spear.

"You dare to assault me?!" the youngest among them walked out and pat his shoulder proudly. "I am the only son of the Mayor of Morning Town, Rockya! Touch me, and I'll make sure that father assembles an army to grind your bones to dust!"

"Yeah! That's right! You're nothing but a foreigner! Young Master Bendoch, please, help me. I will torture this man to death!" said the other youngster who had been wounded by Zhang Yang.

More confident than ever, Bendoch stuck out his chest proudly and pointed rudely at Zhang Yang. "Peasant, I am now giving you a chance to beg for your life! Do it, or I shall have father kill all your family and friends!"

"Young Master Bendoch! Look!" The unharmed youngster pointed at Felice.

"Such beauty!" Bendoch could not contain his lust when he saw Felice standing behind Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang laughed, and his anger subsided a little. Not only were they completely oblivious to the threat, that was a really bad target to direct your lust at! Only the worst of men would have such poor judgment! They were barking up the wrong tree. So what if Bendoch's father is the mayor? He was just the mayor of a small town! He had no authority over Zhang Yang!

"What a waste of a human life…I guess you will do better in your next lives." Zhang Yang said coldly and brandished his sword. Without hesitation, Zhang Yang sliced and diced the youngsters in Luilina's house.

"Grah!"

"ARGH!"

"Mama!"

Crying and wailing like little girls, the three were like tiny bats trying to attack a giant golem. Before the presence of Zhang Yang and Felice, the three youngsters were cut down to their last drops of HP. When he struck them again, they stopped taking damage for a reason.

"Mercy! Have mercy!" cried the trio as they planted their heads on the floor, begging for their lives.

'Ding! You have received an optional quest, if you choose to spare the three youngsters, the quest option will end. If you choose to kill all three of them, the quest shall start. For the next 3 hours, you will be marked as an enemy of Morning Town, and will be hunted by all soldiers of Morning Town. If you are killed within the stipulated duration, your death will result in quest failure. The penalty for failing the quest will be Level -5!'

Losing 5 Levels would also mean that Zhang Yang would automatically be kicked out of the Chaos Realm!

However, the thought of him failing was only a brief second. Zhang Yang did not give it much thought, and killed all the perpetrators there, ending their pathetic lives.

"Big Brother…D-Did you k-kill them?" said Luilina as she sobbed away.

"Don't worry. Everything is alright now. I'll protect you! I shall protect you in your brother's place!" Zhang Yang comforted the sobbing Luilina.

Instead of calming down, Luilina was horrified. "Big Brother! Bendoch was the only son of the mayor of Morning Town. You must leave now! Please! There is a magic charm on Bendoch! The mayor will know if something were to happen to his son! Please run away as far as you can! No matter how strong you were, there's no way for you to defeat an army!"

Zhang Yang nodded his head. "Very well. In that case, we shall go! Follow me!"

Luilina shook her head and wiped away her tears. "I can't. I was born here. I was raised here. I can't just leave!"

"But…If you remain here with the dead guys, I'm sure the mayor himself would not let you walk away unscathed!" said Felice worriedly persuaded her to leave the house. "Follow big brother! He will take care of you!"

Luilina hesitated for a while and shook her head.

Zhang Yang sighed. "Are you afraid of holding us back?"

Luilina jerked a little. "I am but a blind helpless little girl. If I join you, I will only be a liability! Furthermore…I—" Luilina sucked in a deep breath. "This house is precious to me! It's a house both my brother and I lived in! I—I don't want to leave here."

Zhang Yang chuckled. "Very well. In that case, allow me to remain here as well! Let's wait for the army then! I'll beat them all to a pulp!"

Luilina started to breathed raggedly. "You can't! That's way too dangerous!"

Zhang Yang kept quiet and smiled. He prepared to barricade the house and planned a bottleneck strategy. Not sooner later, Luilina tapped her walking stick against his greaves. "Bro brother…I…I will follow you! Let's leave…"

The little girl had nothing to pack but a garden hoe. According to her, it was her most precious possession, since it was a gift from her brother, Sous. He had made it by hand, specially for Luilina.

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "You brave girl. You have done the right thing."

Zhang Yang summoned the flying serpent and placed Luilina on its back. Felice morphed into her Dragonhawk form and flew into the sky.

'Ding! You have been given a quest: Survive against all odds. If you give up the mission, the system shall deem the quest as a failure. In the stipulated duration, the deaths of Luilina or yourself, shall be deemed as a quest failure. The penalty for failing the quest is Level -5!'

Well…Zhang Yang would have to keep himself alive, while also making sure Luilina that survives the army attack.

Zhang Yang stopped flying suddenly and dropped to the ground. He figured something out and summoned the bear. Zhang Yang figured that the bear would be better at transporting the girl, since it is much stronger than the recently obtained flying serpent. Furthermore, it was much safer for a blind girl to travel on solid ground, than in the air.

"Big brother! They have mobilized an entire army after us!" said Felice. She could soar much higher into the air, and had a clearer view of the oncoming enemy.

"Good job Felice. Let's move on!"

Zhang Yang and Luilina rode the bear and moved on. The bear had grown slightly bigger now, and had a fabulous butt. From the back, you could see its huge hairy butt jiggling hilariously. Under normal conditions, Zhang Yang could never place anyone else on the mount. Since Luilina was a quest NPC, the system might have allowed a player and an NPC to ride the mount at the same time. With one more load on its back, the bear movement speed was made slightly slower. Felice continued to fly in the sky to update Zhang Yang of the enemy's position.

Just 7 to 8 minutes later, Felice had no need to report any longer. Zhang Yang only needed to turn his head around, and he could see a sea of flames coming, in the form of riders, holding torches in their hands. By his calculations, the army would only need 3 to 4 more minutes to catch up with Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang stared at the army worriedly, when he had a sudden stroke of a genius idea. He turned the bear around and moved out of the pathway, and headed to a steep slope towards the far west.

As he rode on as swiftly as he could, the army behind him had closed the gap to only a few hundred meters behind! Zhang Yang climbed up the slope and finally met a dead end, with many random boulders of different sizes. With determination and a prepared stance, Zhang Yang stopped and turned around to face the incoming army.

Chiang! Chiang ! Chiang!

The riders had arrived and surrounded Zhang Yang in a large circle, cutting him off all escape routes.

Even though Luilina could not see, her other senses served her well. She knew what was going on. Colors drained away from her face as she gripped Zhang Yang's hands tighter.

Zhang Yang only smiled. As they were waiting for someone to walk to the front, Zhang Yang took the opportunity to analyze the situation. There were more than 50 riders around, fully clad in metal armor.

[Morning Town Knights] (Elite, Humanoid)

Level: 105

HP: 1,050,000

Defense: 1,100

Melee Attack: 7,464 – 8,264

Skills:

[Force Strike: Forcefully bashes the target and deals 150% melee attack. Grants a 10% chance for an additional attack.

Note: The main attack force of Morning Town, only loyal to Mayor Rockya.

The knights around opened a pathway up to allow an individual to move to the front.

[Rider's Captain Seiya] (Yellow-Gold, Humanoid)

Level: 110

HP: 5,500,000

Defense: 2,000

Melee Attack: 9,812 – 10,812

Skills:

[Sacrificial Heal: Sacrifices one of your underling to restore 50% HP.

Note: Famous for his brutal tactics in warfare. Rockya's loyal underdog.

Crap…

Zhang Yang swallowed his saliva. 50 elite tier enemies were too much for Zhang Yang to handle. Add in a Yellow-Gold boss in the fray…it might be the end of Zhang Yang. Yellow-Gold bosses were not worth the effort to kill anymore. The problem was that the boss in front of him was "un-skippable". What more, the powerful attack power of Seiya was only going to make the fight difficult.

"Brave as you may be, your unworldly act of killing Bendoch will be judged by the gods! And I, Seiya shall send you to him!" Seiya's voice was so heavily laced with killing intent. He waved his hands, and all 50 knights charged towards Zhang Yang.

"Ah, I'll send you to him alright!" Zhang Yang drew in a deep breath and yelled at the top of his lungs. "Felice!"

Felice shot down to his side. Zhang Yang then scooped Luilina off her feet and tossed her to Felice. "Take her somewhere safe!"

"But, what about you?" cried Felice worriedly.

"Big brother knows what he is doing. Off you go!" said Zhang Yang with a confident smile.

Felice nodded and held Luilina in her claws, and shot back up into the sky.

Zhang Yang jumped back on his bear and pulled on the reins. With one strong stroke, Zhang Yang slashed apart a large boulder that lay behind him.

'-932!'

Along with a bright spark, the stone seemed to have taken damage. The earth rumbled so violently as if someone had turned on their mother's vibrator. Everyone, including Zhang Yang himself, lost their balance and fell over.

BOOM! THUD!

Two large pillars broke out of the earth and formed an arm! Another arm burst out in a similar fashion, and a stone giant started pulling itself above the surface!

More and more of its body started to appear. Before he knew it, the massive stone giant had already managed to "sprout" to his chest level. The knights and Zhang Yang were thrown off their mounts and started rolling down the slope uncontrollably.

After the massive tremor ended, the stone giant finally revealed itself to be a 60 to 70 meters tall monster!

A loud, deep growl, similar to that of a ship's horn, burst through the airspace. It lifted one of its massive stone arms and slammed it down on the person who had disturbed its slumber, Zhang Yang!

{Shadow of the Void}!

Zhang Yang disappeared into another dimension just before the arm reached him.

The stone giant growled again and shifted its target towards the knights who had been left behind by Zhang Yang. Since Zhang Yang had left the battle with {Shadow of the Void} all aggro that had been generated by him was shifted to the knights, making the poor knights to receive the hellish punches of the stone giant!

Chapter 468: The Enemy of my Enemy is…Let's Just Set Them Upon Each Other

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhang Yang knew this stone giant from his past life. Located near the first territory after arriving at the Chaos Realm, this Mythical tier boss resided on a hill. Since the boss lingered around the hill close to the town, many players have repeatedly committed suicide against it, hoping to get a shot at killing it. In his past life, he had seen the boss a couple of times in his previous life. At most, the boss was constantly fighting with players that had come from Morning Town.

Now that Chaos Realm was just released, and Zhang Yang was the only person who could access this realm, the boss was alive, well, and left alone. Not until Zhang Yang had roused it just to help him kick some butts!

This was the reason why Zhang Yang had lured the army to the slope, in the first place. He figured that the boss could do the dirty work for him. After which, when he has successfully triggered the boss, he would escape the battle via {Shadow of the Void}, and let boss take care of the army for him!

They were no match for the stone giant. With its massive stone arms, one clean slam to the ground was enough to send stones ricocheting to the sky and soldiers to the heavens. Thanks to the aggro system, the NPC army and the stone giant engaged each other in a fight.

Zhang Yang had escaped several hundred meters away from where he disappeared. There, he noticed that the bear had already died and had reappeared in his inventory as the reins. Felice shot down to the earth and placed Luilina gently down. After carrying Luilina for a short distance, poor Felice had reverted back to her human form, drenched in sweat. She was lying on the ground, gasping for breath, as if she had just finished a marathon.

[Stone Giant Yanita] (Mythical, Elemental Being)

Level: 120

HP: 36,000,000

Defense: 7,000

Melee Attack: 31,115 – 33,115

Skill:

[Earthly Smash: Slams the earth with the force of mother earth. Deals 30,000 physical damage to all targets, 40 meters around the caster.

[Stomp: Stomps the ground with the power of the earth. Deals 300,000 damage to all targets within 3 x 3 meters of the targeted area.

[Toss: Picks a boulder nearby and tosses it at a target. Deals 100% melee attack to the target. Range: 3 meters – 40 meters.

Note: A wild ancient stone giant, awoken from its long eternal slumber. Whoever who disturbs it would have to accept its tectonic wrath!

Seiya's troops were in serious trouble. With one Yellow-Gold boss and 50 elite tier Knights, the accumulated attack power was like an ant, compared to the Mythical boss. In a monster vs monster fight, unless the fight is dictated by lore, a higher tiered monster would always reign supreme.

The stone giant slammed the ground and dealt 30,000 damage. It was a damage designed to severely cripple players, not NPCs. That amount of damage was nothing, compared to the 1,000,000 HP NPC elite Knights. One strike was only enough to take off 10% of their HP. As for Seiya, his attacks could only deal around 1,000 damage to the monster. It was a landslide match-up.

Similarly to the boss, Seiya's attacks of between 5,000 and 6,000 would take forever to hack away the 30 million HP of his enemy…

The stone giant was an ancient being. As per usual gaming concepts, the older the age of the monster or NPC, the stronger it would get. This stone giant was like an ancient killing machine, with a berserked speed, this elemental being bashed the living hell out of the Knights, killing them all in just 10 minutes or so. Seiya was the only one who had survived the ordeal and had managed to escape. Even though the boss was Mythical tier, it lumbered with the speed of a stone giant. After Seiya had taken off on his horse, the boss turned back after running for a distance, and went back to its hibernation state.

When the stone giant finally stopped giving chase, Seiya stopped his horse and gasped for air. Little did he know that Felice was right above him, and had shot him with a {Fire Missile}. The attack came down from the sky and had caught him off guard.

By then, Zhang Yang was able to resummon the bear and charged towards Seiya.

"YOU!" cried Seiya with rage. It was all his fault that all his Knights were killed! He had been played like a fool! It was his fault that he was forced to tucked his tails between his legs and run away like a true coward! Even though he was a plaything for the Mythical tier boss, he was still a Yellow-Gold tier that could easily take on a single player! He pulled the reins on his horse and charged at Zhang Yang. "Hmph! You've come at the best moment! I shall kill you, and put the blame on you for killing all the soldiers that came with me! That way, Master Rockya would not punish me!"

Zhang Yang ignored the idiotic speech and lunged himself at Seiya. Seiya was just a Yellow-Gold boss, he was not an opponent that would require intense planning and strategy to kill. Furthermore, he had already taken much damage from the previous fight with the stone giant. Even without Felice's help, he alone would be able to kill him without any trouble!

It was like killing a trapped monkey!

Wham! Bam!

Felice was furious. She was greatly angered when the man had publicly expressed his intentions of killing her "Big Brother"! With fury, Felice spat out {Fire Missile} as rapidly as she could, and burned Seiya till his armor was glowing red hot! His entire armor was so hot that it looked more like lava than anything else! His body was steaming with vapor, and he looked like a deliciously cooked lobster!

"Bastard! Bastard!" yelled the boss helplessly. The man was a coward. At the moment he realized that he was not capable of defeating his opponent, he turned tail and ran. Zhang Yang would never allow that. He quickly chased after the boss. Felice, on the other hand, had no trouble keeping up with a man on a horse. She was, after all, a creature of flight. With a swoop of her wings, she reached the boss. If her {Fire Missile} took too long to cast, she would revert back to her human form to attack with her spear, and then go back to chasing him in her Dragonhawk form.

After running for quite a distance, but still far from safety, Seiya realized that escape was not an option. He turned around hoping to fight them off, but ended up being chewed alive by Zhang Yang and Felice.

In less than a minute, Seiya was defeated and had dropped a Yellow-Gold equipment and two Gray-Silver equipment. Although defeating Seiya was partly thanks to the stone giant, Zhang Yang felt no guilt since it was his plan after all! He scooped up all the equipment without hesitation. Among the equipment, one of it was a One-Handed Hammer. At the current stage of the game, One-Handed Weapon and Shield were the most expensive equipment in the market, since they were rare, and most sought after. They could be sold for at least 100,000 gold coins!

By borrowing the stone giant's power, Zhang Yang had only taken less than 20 minutes to defeat the army. He started to feel a little over his head and went back to where he had dropped off Luilina.

'Ding! You have eliminated the first wave of troops! Obtained Luck 1 and 5,000,000 Experience Points. Please make adequate preparations for the second wave! The second wave will start in 64 minutes, 28 seconds!'

Second wave!?

Zhang Yang was shocked and annoyed. A second wave? However, the quest had mentioned that the entire quest would span over 3 hours. If the second wave comes after one hour, it had to be the last.

Perhaps, since the penalty for failing the quest was high, the reward for succeeding in clearing it would be luxurious! Losing Levels was nothing all too serious, since Zhang Yang could always regain them. Levels are earned by investing time into the game. However, Luck attribute points were different. Zhang Yang had amassed a total of 19 Luck points since the start of the game and now had a 2% chance to trigger a Lucky strike! Furthermore, by having higher Luck points, the chance of him creating Transmuted grade potions would increase!

With great risks, come great rewards!

Even though he still had one more wave of troops after him, Zhang Yang did not fret, since he had found a reliable "attacker". When the second wave comes, he could repeat the same thing and trigger the stone giant again. With nothing to do at the moment, Zhang Yang summoned the flying serpent and brought Felice around to grind. There was still more than 1 hour before it happens!

Felice was a beast, and not just in the literal meaning of it. Her killing rate was much faster than Zhang Yang. In one hour, they had amassed so much experience points that the serpent had reached Level 39, and Felice had reached Level 87. It was a pity, for she only had 3 Levels to Level 90, where she would gain another huge boost to her stats.

With the time almost up, Zhang Yang summoned out the bear and brought Luilina with him, and waited at the same spot where the stone giant was resting at.

"Big Brother! Here they come!" cried Felice in the air.

Zhang Yang stared in the direction of Morning Town and saw nothing but empty hills and flat plains. There was no sign of an army!

"Grr…"

Just then, Zhang Yang heard the roar of a beast coming from the sky. Zhang Yang was greatly surprised. He looked up, and saw a formation of griffins rushing across the night sky, towards him!

Crap! Flying Mounts!?

Still, as he thought of it, he was currently in the Chaos Realm, where Flying Mounts would play a huge role. If a player could own Flying Mounts, why can't NPC do so? If Zhang Yang had waited patiently, and trained his flying serpent to Level 100 before starting the quest, he would not have needed to expend any effort at all, he would only need to wait in the air for 3 hours. These flying mount-type enemies were here to prevent players from exploiting such a loophole.

Thud…Thud.,.Thud…

One by one, the soldiers that were riding on the griffins landed on the area where Zhang Yang was waiting. Some of them were still airborne and formed a neat formation, circling Zhang Yang from above, with more than 100 units!

Chapter 469: An Upgrade on the Pet Mount

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhang Yan did not dare to risk giving these monsters the chance to strike first!

These are all ranged-attacking monsters, and they had already surrounded Zhang Yang from all directions! Just imagine this, if 50 of these monsters launched their assaults on Zhang Yang at the same time, he would be instantly-killed, even if he were to activate his {Shield Wall}! So Zhang Yang made a quick decision to throw Luilina over to Felice and say, "Felice, take Luilina and get the hell out of here!"

"Roger!" Felice was well aware that Zhang Yang had more than one method of escaping, so she did not raise any objections this time around, and started taking off, with Luilina in her arms.

"After them! Do not let them escape!" Branden growled ruthlessly.

Zhang Yang did not even summon any of his [Mounts] this time to prevent any unnecessary deaths of his beloved pets. He turned around and plunged his [Sword of Purging Devourer] into the ground and started saying a 'prayer', "Mr. Stone, when more players are strong enough to enter this realm, you are going to have a miserable life ahead, where you will be killed over again, and again. So, why don't you kill some of these scums and unleash your wrath while you can? Get some payback in advance, and think later!"

'-862!'

A damage value appeared on the spot where Zhang Yang had plunged his sword in. The entire pile of rocks began to tremble again. The gigantic body mass of Stone Giant Yanita emerged from the ground, right before the eyes of everyone. With an intimidating, thunderous roar, it slammed its hand onto Zhang Yang!

Zhang Yang quickly activated his {Shadow of the Void} and disengaged from the battle with Stone Giant Yanita immediately! It was not the time to toy around anymore!

Shoof! Zhang Yang broke out of the 'horse-hive' defense of the cavalry army, and left the entire army to endure the wrath of Stone Giant Yanita.

"Rawgh!" The Stone Giant let out an outburst of rage as this was already the second time it had been poked, right in the *ss, just as it was having a good nap! Such interruptions can never be forgiven! The Stone Giant instantly went berserk, as it began to slam its hands all around, like a crazed monkey! A few of the griffins were smashed into mush, and fell from the sky in pieces. Their riders either shared their fate, or dropped straight to their deaths! Some lucky ones survived the fall. But could it really be called luck? They survived, just to face the wrath of the Stone Giant on the ground!

Meanwhile far from the battlefield, Zhang Yang reappeared as his {Shadow of the Void} began to fade. Felice approached Zhang Yang, still carrying Luilina. She barely hovered above the ground, as she was exhausted from carrying the NPC! But she did not drop her of course. However, there were still 7 Griffin-riders pursuing them, firing arrows at Felice! Zhang Yang let out a battle cry and summoned Whitey. He leaped on Whitey's back and charged towards the enemies.

"Brother!" Felice flopped to the ground, unable to fight back as she was still carrying the NPC! So, she could only endure all the attacks from the enemies. Fortunately for her, Felice had an extremely long health bar. Or else, she would have been taken out already!

"Kill! No mercy!" The 7 Morning Town Cavalries landed onto the ground as well, as they continued to shoot arrows from their bows. Shoof! Shoof! Shoof! The arrows flew right at Zhang Yang and Felice with precise accuracy!

Zhang Yang quickly jumped down from Whitey, and placed Luilina on the back of Whitey. Zhang Yang gave a command in his mind, and Whitey immediately carried Luilina and ran in the opposite direction. Without the NPC in the way, Zhang Yang could finally unleash his power, without having to hold back! He pulled his sword out and raised his shield, and then he began to charge at the Morning Town Cavalries! As he was charging through the arrows that were flying towards him, the arrows were deflected off his armor and fell to the ground, one after another. The sound of arrowheads clashing into the armor was really loud and clear.

Because Felice was also facing the same type of attacks, she transformed back into her humanoid form, drawing her lance. She seemed to enjoy the heat of battle, with Zhang Yang by her side.

These monsters were in the air, and Zhang Yang had no idea on how to gather the monsters in one spot. The monsters would automatically fly away from each other the moment when they got too close to each other. There was no point in Zhang Yang and Felice trying to force them into one same spot. Therefore, Zhang Yang had to battle without kiting the monsters into one spot.

Without caring much about it, Zhang Yang targeted one of the monsters and began to slash like hell. Now he only had to wait for the cooldown period of his {Spear of Obliteration} to be over. Then, all he needed to do in order to hook the aggro of the other 6 monsters over to him is to throw the {Spear of Obliteration} at them! Even though Felice had a very long health bar, and very thick armor and defense, she did not have the ability to recover her health. If the monsters ever focused fire on her, she would still go down easily!

The regular arrows of the monster could only inflict him with about 3,000 damage, but the {Armor Penetrating Arrows} had extremely sharp edges. One arrow could deal more than 9,000 damage on Zhang Yang! Fortunately for him, the cooldown period for this skill is very long. If they could fire them rapidly, Zhang Yang would be finished off in no time!

Zhang Yang was constantly spamming all his Status Restriction Effect Skills, timing them appropriately. He tried to stun the monsters to reduce the damage he would receive as the battle went on.

Although the humanoid form of Felice had weaker attack power compared to her Dragonhawk form, Felice was still so much more aggressive and stronger than Zhang Yang! She had already slain one of the monsters within 2 minutes, and had went on to take on her second monster. As she tangled with one of the monsters currently attacking, Zhang Yang could feel his pressure being lifted substantially!

As Zhang Yang took down another monster on his end, he finally let out a breath of relief. The difference of battling 4 monsters at once, compared to 6, was a lot. It was like a 50% drop in difficulty!

After another round of mindless slashing, Zhang Yang had already used up all his skills. He had even activated his {Rearm}! After slaying another 3 monsters, Zhang Yang activated his {Shadow of the Void} to disengage from the battle and went to the side to patch himself up with some [Bandages]. He was only left with about 2,000 health points! He had to leave Felice with the remaining monsters.

After he patched up and took some [Snacks, Zhang Yang rejoined back the battle and activated {Provoke} to hook the boss back to him. At that moment, Felice was left with only 8,000 health points!

Using everything they had, the two of them finally took down the last monster, and Zhang Yang quickly took out his [Snacks] and continued to heal himself. What actually surprised him was that Felice could also heal up by consuming [Snacks]! Seeing how she has been 'functioning' so far, other than the fact that she is an AI, Felice is basically similar to a normal player already!

After just a while, the two of them had regained their full health states. Whitey had also returned with Luilina upon the mind command that Zhang Yang had transmitted.

Zhang Yang turned his head around, and looked at the direction of the other battlefield. The Morning Town Cavalries were basically flying around in the air while they were battling the Stone Giant Yanita. Therefore, the strongest skill that the Stone Giant had - {Earthly Smash} had totally no effect on the Morning Town Cavalries. The Stone Giant could only use {Toss} as it's main attack. The damage that the boss could do to the cavalry army was largely restricted. That was why it had only taken out about 20 Morning Calvaries after all this while.

Of course, compared to Zhang Yang's performance, it was doing far better. Zhang Yang should be burying himself alive in shame!

After some time, all of the Morning Town Cavalries were completely wiped out by the Stone Giant, and the boss still had about 20,000,000 health points. Zhang Yang took a good look at it, and decided to give up on the idea. The army had not weakened it at all! If his party of 10 were all here, it could probably be done. But now that he had seen how powerful this boss is, it would be better for him to just give up on his previous plan and walk away!

After Yanita had wiped out the cavalry, it went back to its peaceful sleep. Unfortunately, Branden was so prideful that he had not retreated when he had the chance. He charged in at the boss and was crushed to his demise, leaving no chance for Zhang Yang to cut in and slay him!

Of course, Branden had a Flying Mount, so Zhang Yang would not have any chance to slay him at all, in the first place!

'Ding! The second wave of pursuers have been wiped out, you have completed the quest: Survive the desperate circumstances - much earlier than expected. Acquired 10,000,000 experience points, Lucky Attribute 1 as your reward!'

'Ding! You have acquired a selective quest: In for a penny, in for a pound, accept or decline?'

Zhang Yang frowned and accepted the continuation of the quest.

[In for a penny, In for a pound] (Difficulty: A-rank)

Description: You have wiped out the defensive force of the Morning Town. Now, Rockya is a general without his army! You have slain his son, warrior. He is not going to let you off this easily! So, you have decided that since you're already in for a penny, why not in for a pound and finish what's been started! Travel back to Morning Town and slay Rockya!

Completion: Kill Rockya 0/1

Zhang Yang widened his eyes, as he began to see a Territory waving at him! He was another step closer to owning a new Territory!

Zhang Yang did not rush back to the Morning Town. Instead, he brought Felice and Snow-Scale Wind Serpent along to level up first. After all, he was all alone at the moment, so he would not be able to seek help from his party members and guild members. He could only rely on himself, his Flying Mount, and Felice!

Though the description said that the Morning Town had lost most of it's Defense force, it still was the lair of this foul Rockya! It would be best to keep an eye out and be ready for anything! After all, Zhang Yang had a lot of time to spare on hand. It would take at least 1 month for other players to be able to enter the Chaos Realm. Furthermore, the quest did not state any time limit, so he could take his own sweet time at completing the quest.

After looking around for a bit, Zhang Yang found himself on a deserted mountain. He could see a large amount of Normal-tiered Spectres wandering around the area, without any sense of purpose.

He decided to choose that spot to grind.

Zhang Yang got Felice to transform into her Dragonhawk Form to lure the monsters, while he looked out for a cave. After he kept Luilina safe in the cave, he summoned the [Snow-scale Wind Serpent, and both of them guarded the entrance of the cave. In just a brief period of time, Felice came back with a large number of monsters. Judging from the looks of it, there should be at least a hundred of them!

As Felice flew past Zhang Yang from above, she transformed back to her Humanoid Form, and stood ready with her lance!

These Spectres began to gush towards Zhang Yang. He activated his {Blood Rage} a few seconds before the monsters reached him. He had already acquired 30 points of Rage Points. The moment the monsters got close to him, he activated his {Blast Wave}!

Instantly, a damage of '-1,418' was inflicted onto each of the monsters within the effective range, and the scene was glorious! The special effect of the [Sword of Purging Devourer] got triggered, and another wave of damage was inflicted upon every single monster within the effective range, over and over again!

When Zhang Yang took over the aggro of the monsters, Felice transformed into her Dragonhawk Form and flew out of the cave, hovering above them all. Then, she spat out her {Pulverizing Flame} between her open beak, and covered the ground in a sea of flames! The ground started burning up as the monsters that were within the effective range of the attack were inflicted with a damage of 3,000 fire damage for every second! The attack was really powerful and intimidating!

However, although these skeletal creatures from the foul depths of darkness could not fly, they did not just stand there, waiting for their health points to deplete. Many of these Spectre monsters had ranged attacks, so they started firing their arrows, inflicting damage on Felice! Although these are just normal monsters, but tens or hundreds of them shooting at the same time would also inflict extremely great damage to a person over time. After the {Pulverizing Flame} was over, Felice was only left with about 10% health! So, she quickly flew into the cave, to the back of Zhang Yang, to take shelter from the arrows.

Zhang Yang handed her a [Bandage] and Felice quickly transformed herself back to Humanoid Form before applying the [Bandage]. She patched herself up, and her health was brought back up by 20,000 points. Unfortunate for her, this amount of healing was far from enough. She had lost so much more than that! So, she could only wait out the cooldown for the [Bandage] to complete its cycle.

Still, with her 'flamethrower' attack, Felice had managed to inflict a total of 1,500,000 points of damage, while burning about 80 monsters to a crisp in the process! A stream of rich experience points came in and the little Serpent was leveled up twice! Unfortunately, Felice needed even more experience points to level up again. She still needed about 10% more before she could reach Level 86.

Zhang Yang wielded his [Sword of Purging Devourer, slashing and slicing up the monsters before him. After a while, more monsters were slain, and Felice had finally acquired enough experience points to level up! A stream of golden light coursed through her entire body, and she reached Level 86! Her health bar was full again!

At the same time, the cooldown period for her {Pulverizing Flame} was over. So Felice transformed herself into her Dragonhawk Form, flew out on the monsters and activated her {Pulverizing Flame of Rage} once more! That attack inflicted a great number of damage to the monsters as the fire blazed on.

After 3 rounds of {Pulverizing Flame of Rage}, hundreds of Spectres lay dead. Looking at the chart of damage output, the damage output of Felice was not far behind Zhang Yang's! Zhang Yang could not help but to praise her in his heart. Although Zhang Yang's damage output was not as good as the DPS players on his party like Sun Xin Yu and Wei Yan Er, he was still unsurpassed in AoE attacks, especially since he had the [Dark Enigmatic Sword]. The special effect of the sword enabled him to trigger repeated AoE attacks onto the monsters within effective range! That made him very powerful in terms of AoE killing, to the point that no one could rival him!

With Felice's aid, be it one on one or an AoE kill, Zhang Yang had the right to look down upon the entire world!

He could not help but to 'pet' Felice on her head and said, "Felice, you really are a great and incredible helper for me!"

Felice turned to him and smiled, her face is so cute that Zhang Yang wanted to melt on the spot!

After finishing up the first wave of the monsters, Felice flew out to lure the second wave. After they had settled the second wave, it was time for a third wave! This little cave behind Zhang Yang had unwittingly been turned into the graveyard of the Spectre. After just three hours, the dead bodies of these skeletal Spectres had piled up like mountains around the entrance of the cave! Zhang Yang would take the time to pick up the loots available on the ground whenever Felice flew out to lure new wave of monsters back to him. Every time, he would only manage to pick up about one-third of the loot from the ground, before Felice comes back with a new wave.

Zhang Yang was also trying to pick up the more valuable loot, but many would still disappear and be flushed away by the system. If Han Ying Xue and Wei Yan Er could only see this, they would definitely be heartbroken to see all the 'valuables' disappearing!

Level 90, Level 100, Level 101!

Five hours later, Felice had reached the 'limit capacity' on her level, as pets and Battle-Companions could not exceed the level of the player, their owner. So, now that Felice has reached the same Level as Zhang Yang, she would no longer be able to share experience points with Zhang Yang. The experience points would only be shared among Zhang Yang and the [Snow-Scale Wind Serpent].

After Felice had reached Level 100, all of her attributes got a major upgrade!

[Felice] (Humanoid Form)

Level: 101

HP: 174,190 (With Vitality Aura)

Defense: 4,480

Melee Attack: 17,535 - 18, 535 (Attack Interval: 3.8 seconds, DPS: 4,746)

Skills:

[Blazing Dragon's Spear: Inflicts 100% melee attack, with fire damage on a target. Required: Melee Weapon. Cool Down: 1 second. Consume: 50 Mana points

[Dragon's Spear Barrage: Inflicts 150% melee attack of physical damage onto a target, with a 10% rate of stunning the target for 2 seconds. Effective on Bosses as well, but with a greatly diminished rate. Required: Melee Weapon. Cool Down: 1 minute. Consumes: 50 Mana points.

[Absolute Defense: When being hit, takes 1% damage from all attacks, lasts for 2 minutes. Cooldown: 12 hours. This effect can only take place when Felice is in her Human Form, and will wear off the moment she changes her form.

It seems that Felice has acquired a new skill in her Human Form, and that skill was a ridiculously powerful 'Shield Wall'!

Level: 101

HP: 131,660 (With Vitality Aura)

Defense: 880

Magic Resistance: 4,480

Magic Attack: 10,517 - 11,117

It did not matter whatever form Felice was in, be in Human Form or Dragonhawk Form, her attributes were enough to put every single Tanker and DPS player to shame! She had become so much more powerful than them all!

They had almost cleared out all the monsters in this area, and the remaining monsters were just too scattered, so Zhang Yang was not in the mood to waste time in slaying them. He rode on the [Snow-Scale Wind Serpent] and flew to another end of the mountain. He located a small cave and began to 'harvest' more experience points. Soon after, [Snow-Scale Wind Serpent] had already reached Level 84!

Because Felice could no longer earn experience points, the [Snow-Scale Wind Serpent] was receiving the bulk of it! After merely two hours, [Snow-Scale Wind Serpent] had finally reached Level 100!

A stream of golden light beamed across the body of the [Snow-Scale Wind Serpent] as the body of the Serpent expanded out, growing up to a total length of 10 meters! It had a wingspan of about 15 to 16 meters! It looked mighty, and magnificent!

[Snow-Scale Wind Serpent] (Yellow-Gold Flying Battle Mount)

Level: 100

HP: 33,600 (With Vitality Aura)

Defense: 1,800

Magic Attack: 4,256 - 5,056

The target will receive 20% additional damage when being struck with Nature Attribute Attacks during effective period. Lasts for 10 seconds. The effects cannot be stacked. Instant cast. Cooldown: 2 seconds.

This is actually a Spell type [Mount]! This is wonderful! Magic Attacks will not be affected by the Defense of monsters, including Bosses!

With everyone prepared now, it's time to collect the bounty for Rockya!

Chapter 470: Mayor Rockya

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhang Yang hopped on to the [Snow-Scale Wind Serpent] as Felice and Luilina followed him up. As he telepathically controlled it, the Serpent began to hover and fly into the sky, heading towards the Morning Town.

Finally, it was possible to soar freely in the sky! The feeling is just too sweet!

The flying speed of the Serpent was at least three times faster than the movement speed on the ground. In just 10 minutes, Zhang Yang could see the Morning Town from afar! Zhang Yang took a stop at the front of Luilina's little cottage, and put the blind little girl there as a temporary measure. He planned to slay Rockya first, which should guarantee Luilina's safety after that.

The Serpent soared into the sky with Zhang Yang and Felice, right after Zhang Yang was done putting the NPC in her little cottage. As they arrived on top of the Morning Town, the first rays of the morning sun were already streaking across the world, blanketing it with warmth and beauty. Zhang Yang proudly stood atop the Serpent as she searched for the whereabouts of Rockya's house. It should be really simple. All Zhang Yang had to do was to look out for a large house, with the largest land and the best decorations!

Zhang Yang did not take long before he located a fancy large house on the northern side of the town. The Serpent let out a roar and flew straight towards the yard of the fancy house. They landed in the garden yard, right before the doorsteps of the house.

"Who goes there? How dare you trespass the property of Master Rockya!" a series of clumsy footsteps were heard coming from the path ahead, as 4 guards arrived at the scene. Each of them held a blade in their hands, and they were all fully armored Level 110 Elites. Their attributes were about the same as the two waves of cavalries that had attempted to pursue and hunt down Zhang Yang.

After letting out a shout, the four guards raised their weapons and attempted to slash him. Felice raised her lance and engaged in battle with one of the guards. As for the remaining 3, Zhang Yang went up to 'entertain' them.

Previously, Zhang Yang and Felice had survived a full-scale assault from 7 of these elites, so it stands to reason that 4 elites wouldn't be a problem for them! Furthermore, Felice and the Serpent had both surpassed Level 100, so their DPS capabilities had greatly improved. They bombarded the four elite monsters to the point that they could not even fight back! In just a brief moment, the monsters collapsed onto the ground and stayed dead. They dropped a number of loot.

The Serpent flicked it's pair of wings and glided across the ground in a snakey zig-zag, but the hall was just ahead, and its head was too huge! It barely squeezed itself through the entrance, as it could only 'rant' out its dissatisfaction and discomfort by hissing sharply into the hallway.

Zhang Yang did not plan to charge in alone like an idiot, so instead, he shouted, "Rockya, you are one fine sun of a beach! Now is the time that you pay for all the crimes you have committed!"

"You vulgar piece of sh*t! How dare you accuse me of such crimes!" A middle-aged man leaped down from the balcony of the second floor! With a heavy landing that shook the ground, Zhang Yang could see that the man's body mass was huge! This man was about 1.9 meters tall, with a macho body. His arms were thicker and larger than a normal human's thigh!

[Mayor of Morning Town, Rockya] (Violet-Platinum, Humanoid Creature)

Level: 120

HP: 12,000,000

Defense: 3,300

Melee Attack: 17,297 - 19,297

Skills:

[Quadruplex Strike: Hits the target 4 times in a row, inflicting 100% melee attack of Physical Damage on every hit! However, the user will be affected by the {Exhausted} effect, damage received will increase by 100%, lasts for 10 seconds. The [Quadruplex Strike] cannot be dodged, evaded or immune. Casting time: 2 seconds.

[Fatal Blow: Inflicts 150% melee attack of physical damage to the target. Reduces 50% healing effect of the target. Lasts for 10 seconds.

Note: The Mayor of Morning Town. A foul and merciless man. Always takes advantage of the town folk and has done countless evil deeds!

Zhang Yang immediately started thinking up of a suitable method to handle this boss. The {Quadruplex Strike} could not be blocked. So it can only be waded through with either high health points, or a {Shield Wall}, or using an invincibility effect. While {Fatal Blow} could be blocked with {Block}, it had a negative effect, which Zhang Yang had to try avoiding. Or else, his {Berserker's Heal} and other healing skills would get a large 'discount' on their healing effects.

"You piece of sh*t! You killed my son! Slaughtered him like he was a nobody! I want you to pay with your blood!" Rockya pulled out his sword from the scabbard hanging from his waist. The sword looked more ceremonial than functional, as grand and ornate as one could be. He charged at Zhang Yang with rage. As he leaped towards Zhang Yang like an ancient general leaping across the sky, he brought his sword down with all his might.

Zhang Yang immediately raised up his shield and activated his {Shield Wall}. Although the effect of reducing 50% healing effect was extremely annoying, but that effect would only last for 10 seconds. As long as he doesn't heal during that time, it wouldn't make much difference! If he accidentally wastes the cooldown of his {Block}, he would be receiving at least 10,000 damage from each blow of the boss, and that would not be 'fun' at all!

Felice transformed into her Dragonhawk Form, and blasted the boss with her {Fire Missile}! Boom! The fireball blasted onto the boss and inflicted the boss with an approximate damage of 20,000 points. Her DPS had already broken through the 10,000 point!

However, Rockya was unlike the previous boss, like Branden. While he was wielding his sword, his left arm was not left unattended as well! Hardening up his fist, the boss let out a powerful punch at the Serpent, all of a sudden! After a loud bang, the Serpent was blasted by the impact of the punch and flew backward for about seven to eight meters far! The Serpent felt the excruciating pain and tears began to roll from its eyes.

That was a 'Supporting Attack'! Although it did not inflict any damage at all, that punch was really intimidating! It showed the powerful strength of the boss!

Although Zhang Yang was mounted atop his [Battle Mount] for the moment and his health points had been boosted high up, the disadvantage of being mounted was made very apparent here! The body mass of the Serpent was so large that it was hard to evade blows! He could not dodge the attacks according to his will, as the space was really limited! He quickly dismounted the Serpent. Then only, did he begin to really fight the boss seriously?

"You lowlife scum! Just die already!" The blade of the boss's sword flashed bloody-red, and a progression bar appeared right above the head of the boss! Two seconds later, the boss swung his sword at Zhang Yang! The blade of the sword was swung so swiftly that it was like a flash of lighting, no, it had turned into four slashes!

It was the {Quadruplex Strike}! The boss had activated it!

'-10659!'

'-11,237!'

'-10,052!'

'-11,889!'

The four flashes of the lightning from the blade happened at almost the same instant! 40,000 damage! It did a great number on Zhang Yang! Fortunately, the Maximum Health Points of Zhang Yang had already reached 97,000 at the moment, so the boss could not instantly-kill him so easily!

That was really awesome!

Zhang Yang quickly gulped down a bottle of [Healing Potion] and healed himself by 10,000 points.

"Die! Die! Die!" The boss was screaming his lungs out as he began to swing again. But this time, the blade of his sword had darkened instead.

Zhang Yang's {Block} had just cooled down, so he raised his shield and activated the skill again to shield himself from the damage. After that, he quickly brought up the Battle Log to confirm his suspicions. The strike that the boss had just hit him with was the {Fatal Blow}. He began to calculate the cooldown of that skill. So, all he needed to do was to wait for the boss to strike him with another {Fatal Blow}, then only would he be able to calculate the cooldown for the boss's {Fatal Blow}! And then, he should be able to allocate the use of his {Block} appropriately, according to his health bar condition.

About 20 seconds later, the boss activated the second {Fatal Blow} and inflicted Zhang Yang with a damage of 17,882 points, at the same time, inflicting Zhang Yang with a negative effect which reduces 50% of Zhang Yang's healing effectiveness!

Zhang Yang already knew this would happen, and was prepared for it.

After battling for some time, the health bar of Zhang Yang was about to hit the bottom, after being bombarded by tons of skills by the boss. He quickly mounted the Serpent and instantly acquired a boost of 33,000 health points. Then, he endured another 3 hits from the boss before activating his powerful healing skill, the {Berserker's Heal}! After that, he jumped down from the Serpent and continued to battle the boss.

"You shameless lowlife scum! Argh!" Seeing Zhang Yang's health bar returning back to its full state, the boss was enraged, and he threw a punch at Zhang Yang with his empty hand.

Zhang Yang dodged a little to the side and with a quick spin, he slammed his shield right into the face of the boss! Well, it would be impolite not to reciprocate after all. So, Zhang Yang merely responded to the boss!

Pang! The face of the boss was stamped with a new reddish mark!

Rockya was so angry that he continued to roar. Although the slam in the face did not inflict any damage, but it was most humiliating! The boss was already furious at Zhang Yang for killing his son, and now, another bash in the face had just made him so angry that his face turned red!

"Haha! A wise man once taught me, when you hit someone, just hit him in the face! Are you having fun yet?" Zhang Yang laughed out loud. The boss was a Violet-Platinum boss after all, and Zhang Yang did not have any advantages in terms of equipment, and he was Level 120 too at that! He had to be really powerful! If it wasn't for Felice's aid, Zhang Yang would never have come alone to challenge the boss!

"Just die!" Rockya was so angry that he lost his breath and his face started turning purple instead. He continued to wave his sword at Zhang Yang!

Boom! Boom! Boom! The battle was fierce!

Felice had become the number one DPS in the boss battle. Her DPS had reached up to 10,000 points, and she had already surpassed Zhang Yang on the list! The boss suddenly turned around and switched his target onto Felice! Yes, that happens when your DPS is higher than others, the aggro of the boss would go after the higher DPS. However, Felice was staying high up in the air, in her Dragonhawk Form, and the boss does not have any Flying Mount in his possession, so he could only roar at Felice from the ground. Unable to do anything, he turned back to Zhang Yang.

The battle continued on for about 2 minutes, and Zhang Yang had already activated his {Berserker's heal}, {Last Vigor}, and {Shield Wall} after being bombarded by the boss. Although he could still activate {Rearm} to refresh all the cooldown of his skills, the boss has only lost about 2,400,000 health points. If he used {Rearm} now, he could only inflict so much damage to the boss before all his skills are used again. It would not be enough to take down a boss with a total of 12,000,000 health points!

Zhang Yang quickly said, "Felice, come help me tank the boss for a while!"

"Roger, big brother!" Felice agreed to help, and she began to descend from the air, and transformed herself into her Human Form. Then she went up, burying the tip of her lance in the side of the boss.

As the aggro of the boss was already hooked to her earlier on because of her DPS being the highest in the battle, the boss had turned to her right way as she was descending to the ground. Rockya let out a battle cry before launching his assault on Felice.

Zhang Yang quickly activated {Shadow of the Void} to disengage from the boss battle and sat aside to heal up with his [Snacks] he brought along.

Felice had already activated her {Absolute Defence}! Every single hit that landed on her only managed to inflict her with 100 damage. They were mere tickles.

After Zhang Yang had recovered back to his full health state, he immediately charged back at the boss, and began his aggressive assaults on the boss.

Since Felice had already activated her {Absolute Defence}, it would be wise to let her tank the boss for a little longer. Better to make use of everything when it's still worth the while! Two minutes left before the {Absolute Defense} fades away!

75%, 60%, 55%... two minutes later, the health bar of the boss had been reduced down to 53%.

"Felice, get out of there now!" Zhang Yang shouted at Felice.

"Roger! Big brother!" Felice transformed into her Dragonhawk Form once again and flew up into the air. Rockya could do nothing but watch her take off!

"I'm angry! You won't like me when I'm angry!" Rockya grounded his teeth together, then he turned to Zhang yang furiously.

The two minutes that Felice had bought for Zhang Yang, was long enough for Zhang Yang's life-saving skills to cool down. After using all of his life-saving skills once more, the boss was left with only 30% health!

{Rearm}!

Zhang Yang cleared out all the cooldown period of his skills and was ready to repeat what he did for the previous two rounds! One more time!

25%, 20%, 15%... the health bar of the boss was reducing constantly. However, when the health bar of Rockya was at 3%, all of Zhang Yang's life-saving skills had already been activated!

The boss still had about 350,000 health points on him, while Zhang Yang had already activated his {Rearm}, and he only had about 50,000 health points left.

But Zhang Yang was not worried by the circumstances at all. He knows that he still had a last resort, the [Zombie Potion]! So, even if he really dies, he could still come back as a zombie and continue to attack the boss! Of course, he must make sure the boss is taken out within 30 seconds, for that would be how long the potion lasts!

It was now 350,000 points against 50,000 points!

270,000 points against 40,000 points! 180,000 points against 30,000 points!

Suddenly, a progression bar appeared right below the head of the boss. It was another {Quadruplex Strike} under 'construction'! If that strike comes, Zhang Yang would surely be dead!

Shoof!

The shadow of a lance suddenly flew at the boss! It was Felice, flying down towards the boss at a high speed, already in her human form! With her {Dragon's Spear Barrage} activated, she inflicted the boss with a damage of more than 25,000 points and stunned the boss, interrupting the boss from casting the spell for his {Quadruplex Strike}! Bravo!

Zhang Yang felt a tremendous joy in his heart. Although he was prepared to die, if he did not have to, of course, he would take that option!

While the boss was weakened, stunned, Zhang Yang, Felice and the Serpent lashed out with all their might. Rockya could only let out a miserable scream and collapsed onto the ground, nice and slow. He finally died! At the same instant, Zhang Yang was only left with about 8,000 health points! It was really close! Most importantly, he did not have to die!

Chapter 471: Daffodil in distress!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

'Ding! You have completed a quest: In for a penny, in for a pound! Acquired 5,000,000 experience points!'

The boss was finally dead, and it was time to 'harvest' the loot and see what the boss dropped.

Rockya had dropped a total of 4 pieces of equipment, but among the 4, only one of them was a Violet-Platinum Tier equipment, and the remaining 3 were all Yellow-Gold Tier equipment. Ever since the number of Violet-Platinum bosses appearing is getting more and more, the Yellow-Gold Tier equipment were slowly dropping in popularity and value. It seems that the Violet-Platinum Tier equipment has taken over the role!

This special piece of Violet-Platinum equipment is a light-silver leather cloth. Purplish sparkles hovered over the equipment, making it look otherworldly.

[Silver Tiger Fur Cuirass] (Violet-Platinum, Leather Armor)

Defense: 48

Vitality: 847

Strength: 242

Agility: 548

Equip: Increases 3% damage.

Equip: Increases Health Points by 1,200.

{Unidentified}

Required Level: 120

A 3% increase in damage and an additional 1,200 health points? Well, damn! That's pretty good! Zhang Yang happily. He has decided to give it to Sun Xin Yu. No matter what, she was now one of his 'wives', of course he would naturally pick her over others. What that Fatty Han doesn't know wouldn't hurt him.

After picking up the remaining 3 Yellow-Gold equipment, the dead body of the boss was still lying quietly on the ground. Zhang Yang could not risk missing out anything, so he lifted a leg and kicked the dead body aside. As he took a closer look, he found a small piece of green jade on the ground!

Without the need to check on it, Zhang Yang already knew what it is, it was the [Territory Command Order] that he urgently needed! Because the word - [Order] was stamped in the middle of the [Territory Command Order] on it, in clear red! The name 'Morning Town' was crafted on the back of that jade.

[Territory Command Order: Morning Town]

Use: Launches a 'Territory Conquest' after 72 hours. The battle will last for 3 hours long. The last player with the [Territory Command Order] shall become the new Baron of the Morning Town.

Holding the [Territory Command Order] in his hands, Zhang Yang could not help but laugh out loud. Only one player in the entire game server could enter the Chaos Realm at the moment! This 'Territory Conquest' would be a very relaxing process! Zhang Yang could even set up a small cozy chair and lean back against it, enjoying the sun, while having a good nap! No one else would be able to enter the Chaos Realm to snatch the [Territory Command Order] from him.

If One Sword Stroke, Humbly Gentleman and his other 'nemesis' hears about this, would they become so envious that they would smash their skulls or dig out their eyes? Zhang Yang could not stop smiling as he visualized their expressions!

Without wasting any more time, Zhang Yang activated the [Territory Command Order, and instantly, the server began to make the announcements!

'Server Announcement: A Territory without a Baron has appeared in the Chaos Realm. The 'Territory Conquest' will commence in 72 hours. All players, please be ready for it! The Territory was located at the Wilderness of Dubaiya, and the specific location will be announced when the 'Territory Conquest' begins! The 'Territory Conquest' will last for 3 hours long. When the battle is over, the last player carrying the [Territory Command Order] will become the new Baron for the Territory!'

The announcement was made 5 times repeatedly across the system server.

Right after the announcements stopped, Zhang Yang received countless private messages, while the guild chat blew up! Everyone knew for a fact that only Zhang Yang had reached Level 100 and he was the only one that is eligible to enter the Chaos Realm in the current stage of the game. So unquestionably, the person who is going to get the [Territory Command Order] would be Zhang Yang! No one else!

Snow Seeker, Greensleeves Prince, Sword of Light and the rest of his allies started sending in their congratulations. They repeatedly praised Zhang Yang for being extremely lucky, for he had managed to get a [Territory Command Order, an extremely rare item in the game, in such a short period of time, after entering the Chaos Realm!

As Zhang Yang is the player above Level 100, this [Territory Command Order] was like a free gift from the game itself. Of course everyone would look at him in envy!

When Liu Wei received the news, he smashed his game helmet onto the ground.

"Noob tank! Daffodil got killed by some ruffians, and they're watching over her dead body! The moment she respawns, she'll be killed immediately! Come help her!" Zhang Yang suddenly received a private message from Wei Yan Er.

"What?" Zhang Yang felt a rush of anger up his head. He has always been a man who protects the weak. He would rather do something wrong and get himself locked up, instead of watching the weak gets bullied! His determination in such regards is really admirable! Furthermore, Daffoldil Daydream has been a gentle and kind person. She always treated everyone in the guild with her kindness and she is well-known for that. Now that someone was actually camping over her dead body, of course it would anger Zhang Yang and his guild members!

He quickly contacted Daffodil Daydream through the voice communication device, "Daffodil, where are you now?"

Daffodil Daydream was shocked and relieved at the same time to hear Zhang Yang's voice, then she said, "I'm currently lying dead by the Crimson Flame Hills. I was there to grind my levels. Never expected to be ambushed there. They stopped me and said that they wanted my staff. Of course I did not agree, so they started attacking me. I killed 3 of them, but there were too many of them! So, I was killed after that. Since then, they have been guarding over my dead body. I do not dare to resurrect, I'm worried I might drop the staff if I get myself killed again!"

This lady is a smart lady indeed. From the way Zhang Yang had spoken when he contacted her, she knew that he already had the gist of her situation, and wasted no time telling him the details.

Zhang Yang suddenly remembered something. When he was identifying equipment with his fellow ladies at the Identification Shop, they had met Royal Highness of Thunder. As he was tearing up his [Teleportation Scroll, Zhang Yang asked, "Are the players from The Myth?"

"Yes! It's them alright! And their leader is called Royal Highness of Thunder! Seems more like a Royal Highness of assh*le to me!"

So it was really him! That day, his greedy face had been projected right at Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang had intended to warn Daffodil Daydream about this, but the server was closed for 3 days straight. So, Zhang Yang had completely forgotten about this little man!

Looks like the man had been thinking about this for the past three days. The moment the server was reopened, he actually came after Daffodil, guarding by her dead body, all for the staff!

A stream of light beamed upon Zhang Yang as he transported himself back to Thunderstorm Castle. After walking out of the palace, he summoned the Serpent out.

The appearance of the Serpent right in the middle of the Thunderstorm Castle attracted a lot of unwanted attention. Many players began to round up around Zhang Yang and the Serpent. To them, no pet or mount could be this big!

In a game, 'size' came before power. If you happened to be riding on a Black-Steel mount the size of a small mounting, it would still attract more attention than a small Mythical dragon!

Needless to say, the Serpent looked magnificent. Its body was covered in snowy scales, and it had a large and long body! In contrast, it had small, green eyes that looked more like beans. The Serpent did not look scary at all. Instead, it looks kind of cute.

"Wow! What kind of Mount is that? It looks awesome!"

"Is this a snake? How can there be a pair of wings on it?"

"Snakes can't fly! If they do, aren't they supposed to be dragons?"

"Hah! You morons! How could Mounts even fly! Do not think that it can fly just because it has wings. I can tell! Its as good as an Ostrich!"

"That's right! The official notes said that [Flying Mounts] can be obtained only from the Chaos Realm. It's only been a day since the Chaos Realm is opened. It's impossible to catch a [Flying Mount] so soon!"

Zhang Yang jumped onto the Serpent and gave a command through his mind. The Serpent fluttered its wings and plunged straight into the sky!

Everyone on the ground was silent.

Zhang Yang sent Daffodil Daydream a party invitation, but Daffodil had already joined a party. Hundred Shots quickly added Zhang Yang into the party right after that. Other than Zhang Yang, there were also a few of their regular party members. Only Sun Xin Yu happened to be offline, as she was currently working at the station. They were now grouped together because they had all found out about the trouble that Daffodil Daydream was in right now.

All of them had used their [Teleportation Scroll] to travel back to Thunderstorm Castle.Then they began to rush over to the Crimson Flame Hills. The Crimson Flame Hills was a Level 70 Map. Although it was just located at the side of the Forest of Tanila, which was close to Thunderstorm Castle, it would still require about 3 to 4 hours for them to get there.

The [Flying Mount] of Zhang Yang is three times faster than any of the [Mounts] on the ground. So he traveled like a rocket that pierced through the air. After just a while, he caught up to the second last in place, Endless Starlight. He overtook Starlight in just the blink of an eye.

Endless Starlight was surprised, so he asked, "Boss, you were the last to depart from Thunderstorm Castle, how did you overtake me so quickly! What the hell! How did you get so much speed? Boss, even if you want to save Daffodil, you can't just use some sort of cheat codes, man! You will be banned!"

Zhang Yang could only frown at Starlight. Fortunately for him, there was only one such whiner in the party at the moment. The other whiner, Fatty Han, was not here at the moment. The party chat would have devolved into everyone arguing and fighting over pointless topics if that wasn't the case!

Shoof! Shoof! Shoof!

Zhang Yang soon overtook Lost Dream, Hundred Shots and Wei Yan Er. With his [Flying Mount, he could ignore the geometry of the ground, and just fly straight towards his destination. He was at least five times faster than everyone!

Wei Yan Er was also surprised, then she said, "Noob tank! When did you run ahead of me? I didn't even see you approaching me!"

Zhang Yang laughed and finally, and he posted the Snow-Scale Wind Serpent's information onto the party channel.

"... Zhan Yu, you are one lucky son of the b*tch! Not only you get a [Territory Command Order, which is considered lucky enough, you actually managed to be the first in the entire game to get a [Flying Mount]!" Lost Dream was admiring Zhang Yang.

"Silly Yu, bring me along when you grind, I want to go to the Chaos Realm!"

"Me too! Me too! Take me with you!"

Zhang Yang cannot afford to stay idle to babysit Han Ying Xue and Wei Yan Er in grinding their levels because the upcoming month would be a crucial month. He would like to make use of the at time to conquer more Territories before players start to come into the Chaos Realm. Of course, Territories required costs to manage. So from the perspective of economic, it would actually be more cost-efficient to only conquer one Territory!

As all servers were natural enemies, even if Zhang Yang really takes down the Gateway Territory for the Japan-Korea server in the Chaos Realm, it would still be impossible for him to open up the Gateway Territory to the players in the Japan-Korea server to swarm in. Only the players in China server would be able to use the Teleportation Circle of the Gateway Territory that Zhang Yang has conquered. More importantly, the cost required to maintain the Teleportation Circle would not change, even if nobody were to use it. The cost was fixed. Nothing can be done to change that. Therefore, having two Territories would mean that Zhang Yang would have to pay for one extra Teleportation Circle, all for nothing.

Conquering Gateway Territories of other servers would be a means of strategy at winning the game. The eight regions of the game were meant to fight against each other. The game developers had always encouraged players to fight against each other, when they first created the game! Zhang Yang was just taking preemptive actions now!

Shoof! Shoof!

Zhang Yang overtook Han Ying Xue and Fantasy Sweetheart with his high speed, and became the first in place to rush towards the Crimson Flame Hills.

...

Right in the middle of a vast land of the Crimson Flame Hills, Royal Highness of Thunder and his small army from The Myth stood around the dead body of Daffodil Daydream in a fishnet formation. Players who are dead can revive themselves within the range of 30 meters from where they were killed. So if one plans to camp by the dead body of a player, then one must make sure that they cover all possible spots of respawning.

"Master Thunder, we have been camping around this little b*tch's dead body for over two hours already. Are we still camping any longer? Looks like she's not willing to resurrect at all!" one of the 'goons' from The Myth said.

"Nonsense! Of course we are going to camp! Didn't you see this little b*tch using 10,000 gold coins to identify that staff? When have you ever come across a weapon or an equipment that required 10,000 gold coins to be identified? Hmm? If this staff is to be sold out in the market, it can cost 10,000,000 to 20,000,000 dollars! So forget 2 hours, even if it's two days or two months, we must camp here until she gives up the staff!" Royal Highness of Thunder shouted and screamed at that member of his guild, until his saliva splattered on the poor guy's face!

"Correct! Master Thunder is brilliant!"

"Furthermore, didn't this little b*tch dropped a pair of Violet-Platinum boots when we first killed her? Haha! Just one pair of boots of this caliber can earn us tens of thousands! Humph! I do not only want that staff, I want to force her to drop every single piece of equipment on her, and let her run naked in front of my eyes! Literally! Haha!" Royal Highness of Thunder was laughing arrogantly.

Just as they were discussing about how to make Daffodil go naked, a shadow came over their heads and the ground around them. They could feel strong winds beginning to blow around them!

Chapter 472: Massacre

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Royal Highness of Thunder and his 'goons' reflexively craned their necks upwards to look into the sky.

What they saw was a gigantic shadow of a bird hovering in the midair. As the sun was just over the 'gigantic bird', they were partially blinded by the sunlight, and could barely make out the scene. Most of them had almost instantly shut their eyes, staring back to the ground, recovering from the glare.

Hoof!

Zhang Yang gave a command to the Serpent, and they both landed heavily onto the ground. Felice was also standing atop the Serpent's back like a steadfast bodyguard, her lance held ready.

"Huh?" the goons from The Myth were all stunned when they saw the Serpent landing right before their eyes.

Could this be? The legendary [Flying Mount, circulating in the official forums?

Zhang Yang stared at them, with blazing eyes and gazed at the dead body of Daffodil Daydream. Without wasting any time, he said, "Felice, focus on the Magic Type enemies! Burn them all to a crisp!"

"Roger, big brother!" Felice nodded and she transformed into her Dragon-hawk Form. She rose into the air as she started casting her {Fire Missile}, aiming at one of the Spellcasters of The Myth.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yang rode on the Serpent, ready to slaughter up one of their Hunters. The movement speed of the Serpent was extremely swift. Before that Hunter could even blink, the Serpent was already right in front of his face. With a quiver in his [Sword of Purging Devourer, Zhang Yang swung his sword straight at the Hunter's throat and inflicted him with a damage of '-4,198'.

The Serpent was not willing to sit back and do nothing, it opened it's mouth wide and began to spout out some greenish corrosive venom right from its mouth. The Hunter's face was covered in the greenish venom, as his 'handsome' face started sizzling away! He was inflicted with a damage of '-9,283'!

The equipment of that Hunter was pretty decent. He actually had over 25,000 health points. These two attacks had managed to take out half of his health bar. He screamed in terror as he tried to leap 10 meters back with his {Leap Dodge}!

Zhang Yang laughed at him as he saw the Hunter failing to react in a way a professional player would. So, he activated his {Charge} and came straight from the back of the Serpent and clashed into the Hunter like a lightning bolt, giving the Hunter a good Stun. Zhang Yang accumulated 10 Rage Points immediately after doing that. Because non-lethal skills did not share the common cool down period, and Zhang Yang did not have to wait for the cooldown, he immediately wielded his [Sword of Purging Devourer] once again and activated his {Destructive Smash}.

'-25,722!'

An extremely high damage value was inflicted onto the Hunter! It appeared that the {Lucky strike} had been triggered on that particular strike, and the damage of Zhang Yang's {Destructive Smash} was tripled!

Not even a second had passed since Zhang Yang's arrival from the skies! Everyone from The Myth had not even been able to react yet, and one of them had already been taken out!

On the other side of things, Felice had already finished her casting of the {Fire Missile}! Crimson red flames were shot straight out from her small little beak, and the unfortunate Spellcaster was immolated.

'-22,034!'

The {Fire Missile} was ridiculous, killing the Spellcaster on the spot, in just one single blow! There was no holding back at all!

"Bastards!" finally, the members of The Myth had come to their senses, and they started fight back. As Felice was still hovering midair, the ranged Profession players, like Spellcasters and Hunters started targeting Felice out of convenience. Meanwhile, the melee Profession players charged towards Zhang Yang. They seemed to be fairly experienced in group battles.

Zhang Yang laughed and jumped back onto the Serpent. The Serpent casually hovered off the ground, and out of their formations. Zhang Yang reached out and slashed at a passing Thief.

'-4,122!'

'-8,649!'

After just one hit of his regular attack, the Rage Points accumulated was enough to let Zhang Yang activate his {Horizontal Sweep}. So, he used the skill immediately right after the regular slash and the two damage values were inflicted onto the Thief almost at the same instant, severely wounding the Thief. The Thief was terrified and quickly activated his {Blur} to get away.

It was futile!

'-8,744!'

The cooldown for the Serpent's {Venom Spout} was over! It opened up its big mouth and spat the greenish venom onto the Thief's face, inflicting him with a damage of more than 8,000 points, finishing him off!

"What the fart! Who is this! How could his damage so high and powerful!"

"He has a [Flying Mount]!"

"Only players who enter the Chaos Realm can get [Flying Mounts]!"

"Nonsense, only one person can actually enter the Chaos Realm at the moment! That is --"

"Zhan Yu!"

The members of The Myth finally figured out who was slaughtering them up, as their faces turned pale. Well, like they say, a big tree makes a good shelter. Now, Zhang Yang was a superstar, and Lone Desert Smoke had long been established as the best of the best in the entire China server! Who would dare to launch an assault against them?

"Ignore that eagle, hawk, or whatever bird that is! Everyone, focus on Zhan Yu! Guildmaster Heaven's Pride has given his words! Anyone will get 100,000 dollars for each kill on Zhang Yang! Brothers, we don't have to scare ourselves sh*itless! Everybody, charge!" Royal Highness of Thunder was shouting in excitement.

Money is a mysterious force that motivates and moves people into even throwing their lives into doing the impossible. The Myth began to act, after listening to Royal Highness of Thunder. They really believed that they had the advantage in numbers, even believing that if every single one of them spat on Zhang Yang, he would eventually drown from the sheer amount of sputum!

They began to charge at Zhang Yang, forgetting their previous fear. Now, they were attacking with full coordination! However, the [Flying Mount] was ridiculously quick! Regular attacks could not even land on Zhang Yang. They could only rely on the system's lock-on, along with their skills.

However --

'-0!'

'-213!'

'-0!'

'-891!'

A series of low damage values were inflicted on Zhang Yang. To a player who is currently mounted, with a total of 130,000 health points, those were mosquito bites. Zhang Yang could hardly even feel a thing!

"Sun of a beach! What kind of equipment does this guy have on him? How is he so tough? Can anything hurt him!"

"Guardians are naturally designed to withstand Physical Damage! Spellcasters can make a difference! Let's insta-kill him!"

"We shall become famous after killing Zhan Yu!"

Zhang Yang shook his head and laughed as he rode on the Serpent. The Serpent was weaving about, swiftly and unpredictably, like the wind. They went up to a Spellcaster, and Zhang Yang slammed his shield into the Spellcaster with powerful brute force, launching him into the air like a piece of paper caught in the wind. The Spellcaster flopped onto the ground, his chanting having been interrupted!

'Supporting Attack'!

With the Serpent's swift movements, Zhang Yang had finally unleashed his full potential. He moved through his enemies freely, while dodging every single hit coming from the members of The Myth, using his 'Supporting Attacks' on the Spellcasters with full force whenever they started chanting, interrupting their skills again and again, with the extremely powerful impact of his shield against their faces! None of the Spellcasters were allowed to even cast a single spell!

Ignoring Zhang Yang had been a gross miscalculation on the part of The Myth! Felice was still hovering midair, bringing hell to their formations!

Pak! Pak! Pak!

Fireballs came raining from the sky, and descended onto the members of The Myth. Those who were low on health were instantly killed by the flames, while the others ate an additional fireball or two, before they too joined their comrades in the graveyard!

So, who should they focus on? It had become a million-dollar question!

If they focused on the one in the air, it was pointless taking down a non-player battle companion! But, if they focused on Zhang Yang, could they really take him down? Could they even hurt him? Physical attacks did absolutely nothing, but Magic attacks might work! However, those Spellcasters were being toyed around so roughly by Zhang Yang and his shield, that they were constantly sent flying about like grains of rice! They could do nothing to Zhang Yang! Nothing at all!

Were their standards and level really that far apart? Were they really so weak, or was Zhang Yang just too bloody strong?

Tens of player were unable to take down one single player? Was this it?

Royal Highness of Thunder could not accept the ending of this because he was certain that the [Epicormic Branch of the Tree of Life] had to be the finest staff at the current stage of the game. He would do anything for it! But because the server was closed for a couple of days, he had been bouncing on the tip of his toes, waiting for the perfect chance for Daffodil Daydream to finally act on her own, without party members around her. He had even managed to kill Daffodil Daydream once, and had taken her Violet-Platinum boots. Although the boots were not as precious as the staff he aimed to get, but Royal Highness of Thunder had already tasted the 'sweetness' of getting a Violet-Platinum equipment! That was why he was so insistent on camping by the side of Daffodil's dead body.

The appearance of Zhang Yang had made him shocked and excited at the same time. Liu Wei had set a bounty on Zhang Yang's head. Anyone who kills Zhang Yang would be rewarded handsomely!

It was supposed to be a double win for him. But, who would have thought Zhang Yang was practically invincible! Zhang Yang had been able to oppress them single-handedly! They could only postpone the inevitable!

"Kill! Use everything you've got! He's just one man! He can't possibly fly solo for long!" Royal Highness of Thunder could only blurt out empty words of encouragement.

In the end, online games were all about the standards of equipment! Powerful equipment would not always make up for a lack of skills, but they definitely made a huge difference! Zhang Yang happened to have an abundance of both. He had the equipment, and he had the skills! It was a divine combination!

Zhang Yang continued dodging at leisure, and he also had {Warrior's Will} to cancel out all the Status Restriction Effects on him. Also, his [Heart of the Death Knight] could decrease 50% of the time he would be under a Status Restriction Effect! With so many tricks up his sleeves, the members of The Myth were toyed around like fools, and they could not do anything about it!

Even if Zhang Yang chose not to cancel any of the Status Restriction Effects with his skills, he still had 130,000 health points to tank against their assaults! He also had a 20% passive immunity to damage, 2,320 defense points, 2,228 points of damage absorption effect! Even if he stood there and did nothing, they would still take 4 to 5 minutes to empty out his HP bar alone!

Let's not forget that Felice was still supporting Zhang Yang in midair with her {Fire Missile}.

Each {Fire Missile} could inflict up to 20,000 points of damage. Who would be stupid enough to stand there and let her rain her {Fire Missiles} down on them? If their health points were just a little lower, they might just get themselves instant-killed. Even their tanks could only withstand two or three of those fireballs! They did not have any super healers like Han Ying Xue to heal them up!

Pak! Pak! Pak!

Felice was like floating turret, launching {Fire Missiles} after {Fire Missiles}. The death count was really 'astounding'!

It was a total massacre!

11 left! 9 Left! 5 left! 2 left!

Zhang Yang raised up his sword and plunged his sword straight into a Berserker, sending him straight to the graveyard! From that moment onwards, the only member of The Myth that was left standing was Royal Highness of Thunder himself!

"Daffodil Daydream, you can resurrect yourself now." Zhang Yang informed her through the party channel.

"Alright." Daffodil Daydream had released her soul and had been waiting by her body.

Crunch!

Zhang Yang bashed his shield right into the face of Royal Highness of Thunder and instantly, the face of Royal Highness of Thunder started bleeding. Pah! He spat out some broken teeth! Half of his face had swollen up immediately! He had survived up to this point, only because Zhang Yang had left him alive on purpose. He has better plans for this 'pr*ck'!

"Zhan Yu! Don't cross the line!" Royal Highness was speaking through his swollen face. He could not even pronounce his words nicely, "Our master, Heaven's Pride, is not someone you can trifle around with --"

Poom!

Zhang Yang smashed his shield into his face again, and more blood splattered on the ground as Royal Highness of Thunder was sent flying 4 meters away again!

Right after Royal Highness staggered to his feet- poom! Another blow landed straight on his face! Zhang Yang hammered him with the shield again!

Those were all 'Supporting Attacks', unable to inflict a single point of damage on Royal Highness of Thunder, However, it was truly embarrassing to be humiliated this way. Royal Highness held a fairly high rank in The Myth, but now that he was being smacked in the face, like a little kid being repeatedly smacked on his butt!

Zhang Yang turned over and asked in a cold tone, "Daffodil, how long did he camp by your dead body?"

"More than two hours!"

"Very well then, I shall slap him for 3 hours!" Zhang Yang said calmly. That dead calm was enough to send a chill down Royal Highness of Thunder's spine. He knew just then, that, sh*t was about to happen.

Piak!

Pak!

Pak!

Royal Highness of Thunder turned into a life target practice. After a series of smashes and bashes, his face was so swollen, that it no longer looked like a face of a human. But, Zhang Yang did not stop there or even think of ending it right then. He wordlessly continued to bash that swollen face up! He just kept on hitting Royal Highness of Thunder right in the face! It was brutal!

The eyes of Daffodil Daydream began to well up with tears as she watched Zhang Yang standing up for her. She was touched to the point that she did not know what to say.

Royal Highness of Thunder could no longer keep count on how many times he had been struck in the face. So, he decided to lie down on the ground like Snoopy does on the roof his kennel. He believed that Zhang Yang would stop if he stayed down.

But he was wrong, very wrong! The moment he lay on the ground, Zhang Yang began to use his legs instead of his shield! He started kicking the face of Royal Highness of Thunder like a soccer ball!

Royal Highness of Thunder could only cry and endure the pain. He would never have thought that it would be possible to torture people like this in {{God's Miracle}}! He believed that if he could not win, he could just run. And if he cannot run, then he could just die and run back to his dead body to resurrect once again!

But now, he could not even run if he wanted to, and he could not even die if he wanted to! Zhang Yang was not inflicting any damage on him! He was still at full health! What he was experiencing now was worse than death!

After being kicked and stepped on for tens of minutes, Royal Highness of Thunder finally could not take the humiliation anymore, so he decided to sign out of the game immediately. However, it was another dead end! He immediately received a system notification: You cannot sign out of the game while you are engaged in battle. If you forcefully disconnect yourself from the server, your character will receive a penalty of -3 Levels!

Royal Highness of Thunder could only grief in silence, "..."

It's extremely difficult and time-consuming to level up even once! After getting over Level 90, it would take about 12 days in real-time just to gain 1 Level! So, a penalty of -3 levels would mean the loss of a whole month! Now that everyone was fighting to get into the Chaos Realm as soon as possible, a drop of 1 level would already be a major setback. A penalty for dropping by 3 levels? That was unthinkable!

Therefore, Royal Highness of Thunder had no choice but to endure the punishment!

He silently took the blows, believing that as long as he did not fight back, the other party might eventually get bored!

Zhang Yang did not hold back in any of his attacks. 3 hours went on, and Zhang Yang had made sure that Royal Highness of Thunder had suffered for 3 hours, before he ended his life with a few slashes of his sword. But that wasn't the end. He had already stationed Wei Yan Er and the others by the Graveyard nearby. Although Royal Highness of Thunder chose to resurrect at the Graveyard immediately, he was immediately put down again by Wei Yan Er and the others.

After killing him another 5 times, Royal Highness of Thunder finally dropped the Violet-Platinum boots that he had snatched earlier from Daffodil Daydream! After picking up the boots, the gang called it a day and left Royal Highness of Thunder alone. But, what they left behind was a broken man with a broken mind and a shattered ego.

Everyone was furious at the imprudence of The Myth, so Hundred Shots decided to put up a new order in the guild. The Myth was now a kill-on-sight target!

Although The Myth had been a very prestigious guild in Zhang Yang's previous life, the current The Myth was still too weak at the moment. Although they had managed to convince some skillful players from Imperial Sky to defect to them, but the standard and the size of the guild was still far from being a prestigious guild! How could they withstand the wrath of the Lone Desert Smoke? They would only be slaughtered like rats!

Who wouldn't like to relentlessly beat a dog that is already in the water? Imperial Sky had been very hostile towards The Myth. Now that the Lone Desert Smoke had lit The Myth up, Imperial Sky also started attacking The Myth! As The Myth was now sandwiched in between two large-scaled, furious guilds, they were utterly miserable, with every step they take being a potentially perilous one. Anyone from Lone Desert Smoke and Imperial Sky would slaughter them, the moment they find out that they belonged to The Myth! The members of The Myth no longer even dared show their guild name in public!

72 hours of the in-game time passed, and Zhang Yang was forcefully teleported back to Morning Town.

'Server Announcement: A new Territory has spawned at the coordinates XXXXX, YYYYY. Territory name: Morning Town! The 'Territory Conquest' will last for 3 hours, and the last player who holds the [Territory Command Order] shall claim the Territory and become the new Baron of Morning Town! From now onwards, the Wilderness of Dubaiya will be set up as a special battle area, all players shall not enter! When players die, they will be transported back to their main cities and revive there!'

'Server Announcement: Currently, the player currently holding the [Territory Command Order: Zhan Yu! The player holding the [Territory Command Order] will be marked with a special indicator, and the player will not be able to leave the Territory Area!'

'Server Announcement: The 'Territory Conquest' has begun! Commencing countdown!'

Phew~~

A burst of cold wind blew past Zhang Yang as he was surrounded by emptiness. It was a horrible sensation, but did nothing to dampen Zhang Yang's bright mood, for in this 'Territory Conquest', Zhang Yang was the only chess piece in the entire area! So, he just stood there like an idiot, letting the cold wind hammer against his face.

One Sword Stroke, "..."

Snow Seeker, "..."

Greensleeves Prince, "..."

"You f*cking b*st*rd!" Liu Wei smashed his newly replaced, brand new game-helmet up again.

Chapter 473: Winst Castle

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Well, this had to be the easiest, most peaceful, and most boring 'Territory Conquest' in the entire history of gaming!

Zhang Yang sat on Whitey and wandered around the small town. The Mayor was dead, thanks to Zhang Yang, but it seemed that nothing had changed at all. His death had not changed anything at all! The entire town was still very silent. The town folks were still doing what they were supposed to do. Nothing had changed at all!

1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes ... 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours!

'Server Announcement: The 'Territory Conquest' has ended, the last player with the [Territory Command Order] is -- Player Zhan Yu! Morning Town is now a private Territory. Everyone shall be teleported back to their main cities immediately!'

It was an ending that everyone saw coming. No matter how envious the other people were, the irrefutable fact was that the Morning Town belonged to Zhang Yang now!

Zhang Yang did not change the name of the Territory. He kept the name as it was. After that, he turned his attention to the most crucial part of setting up a Territory, the Teleportation Circle! This facility would affect everyone in the future! So, without hesitation, he quickly spent 1,000,000 gold coins on it! Naturally, Zhang Yang only built a one-way Teleportation Circle that would teleport players from Morning Town to White Jade Castle, and linked his [Teleportation Scroll] to the new Teleportation Circle.

From now onwards, everyone would have a convenient way to Chaos Realm, once they have reached the required levels.

Han Ying Xue and the others were loved much more than they can imagine. When they reach Level 100, Zhang Yang would just invite all of them by forming a party and using his [Party Summon Order] to summon all of them over to the Chaos Realm, saving them a lot of time. They would not have to lift even a single foot.

After done setting up the Teleportation Circle, the next thing to set up were the defenses of the Territory. Zhang Yang spent another fortune, fortifying his new Territory. Castle walls emerged from the ground all around the Territory area. Two large metallic doors fortified the main entrance. Of course, Zhang Yang was only able to set up Level 1 Defenses, and money was not the issue. The required mining ores were hard to come.

Since Zhang Yang need not worry about other players attacking his Territory for the time being, Zhang Yang decided to take his own sweet time at collecting the required materials, and focused his attention on locating a second Territory.

After they left Morning Town, Zhang Yang flew atop his Serpent, towards the Gulattoo Icelands. It was where the Koreans and Japanese players would emerge from, the moment they enter the Chaos Realm! Furthermore, Zhang Yang remembered the place well. After all, there had been many large-scale wars between the players of China server and the Japan-Korea server. He had participated in so many of the battles there, more than he could remember!

'Server Announcement: Derick - King of White Jade Kingdom has stepped down, Princess Serena will now lay claim to the throne!'

As he flew through the air, Zhang Yang suddenly received a Server Announcement!

Huh? So Princess Serena has taken the place of her rightful throne!

Zhang Yang was shocked. There had been no such occurrence in his previous life! Ever since he had completed the quest for locating the [Ancient Godly Weapon, Meteor Sword, everything had taken a new turn that was never around in his previous life! They even added a new system called the Battle-Companion system, and now Princess Serena is stepping to be the ruler of White Jade Kingdom!

Alright, let's put that aside for now, and focus on the main aim!

The Serpent was fast, and more importantly, it could fly. So, it could ignore the geometry of the ground, flying over the mountains and the seas!.

However, the sky was also a hostile area!

Suddenly, a large, eagle-like creature flew at Zhang Yang and the Serpent like a missile, its two metallic claws outstretched! It was aiming for the Serpent's throat!

[Sky Devourer Condor] (Normal, Beast)

Level: 112

HP: 17,680

Defense: 100

Melee Attack: 5,186 - 5,986

Skill:

[Tear: Uses metallic claws to tear open its target, inflicting 150% melee attack of Physical Damage to the target.

Note: A ruthless predator of the sky, loves to prey on pythons.

So, it was just a normal tier monster. Zhang Yang did not even feel like killing it himself, so he ignored it, knowing that Felice would automatically act on her own accord. Felice spat a {Fire Missile} and burnt the Condor into a 'roasted chicken' in an instant. The 'roasted chicken' then dropped from the sky and crashed into the ground.

Zhang Yang could only shake his head. He thought to himself about it, what if he was riding on a Phoenix? Would the Condor still have dared to attack him with its claws? Would it even dare to approach him?

After flying for over an hour, Zhang Yang arrived at the Gulattoo Icelands. Right before his eyes lay a vast, white snowy area, covered in glaciers, showing off the magnificent scenery of the North.

Zhang Yang took out his world map to study it for a bit, before telepathically commanding the Serpent to go northwest.

Quite a number of monsters tried to ambush Zhang Yang. But, none of them could stand before a furious Felice! A few elite tier monsters were able to survive her fireballs, forcing Zhang Yang to spend some time finishing them off. But, none of them could stop Zhang Yang from going forwards!

After flying for another ten minutes, Zhang Yang finally arrived at his destination. A huge castle was now right beneath them. The tallest building within the castle was a hall, and a white-themed flag was installed right on top of the palace. It bore a fierce tiger as its mascot. The flag fluttered as it caught the wind.

"Outsiders! This is the territory of the Duchess Winst! Get to the ground at once! This is a restricted area!" Just as Zhang Yang was admiring the magnificent scenery of the castle, suddenly, three knights riding on Snow Condors flew out from the midst of the castle and blocked Zhang Yang's way.

Their names were currently green, so there was absolutely nothing to gain from attacking them. Zhang Yang nodded and commanded his Serpent to land. After they had all landed on a flat platform within the castle area, Zhang Yang noticed several dozens more of Snow Condor in the area. It was obvious that these Snow Condors were Winst's aerial units.

The three knights had also landed and they had dismounted the Snow Condors. One of them walked up and said, "Outsider, tell me your name!"

"Zhan Yu, an adventurer from the White Jade Castle!"

"White Jade Castle?" The three knights exchanged looks and they started to look at Zhang Yang in disdain. "What kind of small f*cking castle is that? Never heard of it!"

Zhang Yang could not help but laugh at them deep in his heart. White Jade Castle was the center of White Jade Kingdom. The land was so vast, being much larger and wider than this small little piece of land this Duchess Winst had! These three imbeciles were just frogs in a well, they must not have seen the outside world yet, other than this little piece of land. They could actually feel so proud, occupying such a small piece of land and castle!

But Zhang Yang had no reason to argue with three NPCs, they were not human after all, so he said, "I have heard great tales about the prestigious name of Duchess Winst, so I have traveled a great distance from White Jade Kingdom just to open my eyes to the greatness of Duchess Winst. I really do hope that you sirs can allow that, and let me experience the divinity of this land!"

All three knights started cracking grins as he continued buttering them up, and the leader of the knight said, "Alright, since you are so sincere, we shall allow you to stay and look around for a few days! But, strictly no flying above the castle! This is your only warning, or we will attack immediately!"

Zhang Yang summoned Whitey and left the platform. The streets were very lively, brimming with activity in every corner. Stalls covered both sides of the streets!

After walking for some distance, Zhang Yang found himself on a very wide street. The two sides of the street were full of people, but there was not a single person in the middle of that road. It was like they were making way for a very important person.

"Rumors say that the 'precious' master tailor of Duchess Winst has crafted another fantastic formal dress!"

"I heard that only intelligent people can access the necessary spectrum in their vision to even see the dress. If you're stupid, you lack the faculties to even process the visual input!"

"That's really fantastic! So…it's like a stupidity detector!"

"Jakyl! Bet 5 coins that you can't see it!"

"Pui! You may have smashed my head between doors a thousand times, but I'm still more intelligent than you!"

People started chattering as Zhang Yang stood close by to eavesdrop.

... "The Emperor's New Clothes"? Zhang Yang frowned. He gritted his teeth, preparing himself for a horrific sight. Wrinkled old buttocks, I'm ready, come to me!

"The Duchess is here!" everyone began to feel excited as they started talking louder and louder.

Zhang Yang had also fixed his eyes on the road. All he saw was a band of people walking down on the road like bosses. However, the one in the front was not a middle-age man - as the original tale went, or a wrinkly old lady - as Zhang Yang had assumed, but a lady with blonde hair, blue eyes, and a boombalicious body! This lady was completely naked, with her head raised high, as if she was above all others!

Unfortunately, the 'vital' parts of this beauty had been censored by mosaic boxes! God d*mn it! What a way to shoot men down.

[Duchess Winst] (Violet-Platinum, Humanoid)

Level: 120

HP: 12,000,000

MP: 1,000,000

Defense: 3,300

Magic Attack: 10,249 - 11,449

Skill:

[Magic Barrier: Opens up a magic barrier to shield yourself from harm. The magic barrier can absorb damage. The specific amount of damage that can be absorbed differs based on the number of players engaged in battle. The magic barrier can absorb an additional 10,000 damage with each additional player in the battle. When [Magic Barrier] is in effect, the [Radiant Punishment] cannot be interrupted. Instant activation.

[Light of the Stars: Summons light from the stars, inflicts 100,000 Holy Damage to all targets within the area of 100-meter radius, having the user as the center point. Chanting time: 2 seconds.

[Radiant Punishment: Punishes the target, inflicting 150% magic attack of Holy Damage on the target. Instant activation. Cool down period: 2 seconds.

Note: The owner of the Winst Castle, the 17th Duchess of the Winst, a true narcissist.

Well who would have thought this 'Duchess Winst' was such a young, hot lady!

Staring at the lady whose butt cheeks took turns bouncing up and down with each step she took, with her 'explosively' large pair of boobies perked up by her straight back, Zhang Yang could not help but to feel 'satisfied'. He could only feel sorry and pity for Fatty Han and Endless Starlight. If these two were here with him to 'savor' this scenery, they would definitely drool and flood the street!

"Do I look beautiful?" the Duchess was shaking her hot-ass body, while walking through the street, looking around proudly. She also posed seductively in many ways, trying to show off her 'New Dress'.

"Does my new dress looks beautiful on me?"

How could a man.. eherm... a person say that a lady is not beautiful, when that lady stood buck naked in public? The people at both sides of the road were nodding indefinitely. The truth was, they were already 'stunned' by what they saw. They also praised and tried to 'butter' her up by saying that she's very beautiful and that the dress was simply stunning.

Just then, a sharp, shrill voice tipped the balance of the fragile, tense atmosphere, "But, this big sister does not have anything on her!"

A vague voice of a child came right out from the crowd and silenced the entire street. All of a sudden, the people began to chatter again, as people started dropping their pretenses! Zhang Yang could see the smile on the Duchess's face froze, and then her face turned black as she started to heat up. Suddenly, she shouted with anger, turned around and ran back to where she came from. It was like a free, naked show for the public!

Not long after that, the entire castle imposed a martial law. The silver Snow Condors began to fly into the sky, one after another, and the knights on them were shouting continuously, trying to inform everyone in the area, "From now on, a martial law is in effect. Everyone must remain in your own homes! You are not allowed to shelter any outsiders! Or else, you will be executed for treason!"

The streets that was filled with chattering and laughter instantly turned quiet. Only Zhang Yang and another mysterious man in a cloak remained standing at the far side of the street.

"My friend, mind lending me a hand?" the mysterious man took the cloak off his head and revealed a handsome face. His smile revealed his perfect, white teeth.

Chapter 474: Messick

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

[Messick] (Elite, Humanoid)

Level: 110

HP: 1,100,000

MP: 10,000

Defense: 1,200

Melee Attack: 8,094 - 9,094

Skills:

[Light of Life: Recovers 10% health points. Consumes: 500 MP

[Foul Chatters: Begins to curse at a target, inflicting a large amount of aggro. Instant activation. Cool down: 5 seconds.

Note: Calls himself the best tailor in the world.

Zhang Yang could not help but laugh. So this was the person who had tricked the Duchess into walking naked in the public! So he said, "You really have balls of steel! You even dare make fun of a Duchess!"

Messick laughed and said, "I say you, my friend, can't we get out of this dangerous place first, before we speak any further?"

'Ding! Messick has given you a quest: Escape from Winst Castle. Will you accept it?'

Obviously, to conquer the castle and make it his own Territory, Zhang Yang would have to overthrow Duchess Winst and take her place. This daring tailor must be her 'worst enemy' in this story. So, aiding him against the Duchess should lead him to a final battle with Duchess Winst!

Zhang Yang gave it some thought and accepted the quest.

[Escape from the Winst Castle] (Difficulty: C)

Description: You chose to aid Messick. Messick is currently being pursued by Duchess Winst and her men. You have made yourself a public enemy of Duchess Winst and her men! Help Messick escape from Winst Castle, and do not let him die!

Completion: Aid Messick in escape from the Winst Castle 0/1

Fortunately for him, this quest did not have any penalties that could potentially reduce his levels. On the other side of things, there weren't any rewards that would give Zhang Yang any luck attributes!

Zhang Yang let our a breath of sigh and summoned out his Serpent. Meanwhile, Felice had transformed herself into her Dragon-hawk Form, ready to make an expeditious retreat. But before Zhang Yang could call out her name, Messick had already tried to climb up on her back! Felice was so furious that she had swiveled her head around and launched a {Fire Missile}.

Messick was struck in the face, turning black like a big piece of charcoal. Zhang Yang could not help but to shake his head again and again. This 'brother' would still think of taking advantage of a lady at a time like this! Zhang Yang was at a loss for words, unable to find anything to say about this NPC.

Without wasting any more time, Zhang Yang lashed out, aiming at Messick's despicable buttocks, and with a powerful kick, he launched Messick onto the back of Serpent, jumped aboard and gave a command to take off. The Serpent immediately fluttered its wings and flew right into the sky. They flew right out of Winst Castle.

However, their movement attracted 5 knights who were patrolling in the surrounding areas of Winst Castle! They immediately reacted and flew right towards Zhang Yang on their Snow Condors.

The flying speed of the Serpent was indeed impressive! With just a few flaps of it's wings, it had already brought Zhang Yang and Messick to the exterior of Winst Castle. There were only 5 knights on their tails. Zhang Yang quickly patted on the Serpent's neck, controlling it to turn around. They headed straight to face the 5 knights.

"Hey, are you actually thinking of battling in the sky?" Messick rubbed his forehead with his hand, looking very anxious, "Please, put me down first before you do that! I have acrophobia! You know what that means? I'm terrified of heights! Argh!"

Zhang Yang had no time to 'entertain' Messick, as they were already on the verge of crashing into one of the knights! Right before they reached the knight, Zhang Yang gave a good swing at one of the Snow Condors with his [Sword of Purging Devourer].

Felice had also joined the battle, as she could fly on her own. Immediately, she began to chant the spell for her {Fire Missile}!

The battle has begun!

"Haha! How could you start the 'party' without me!" Messick grumbled as he produced a piece of clothing from out of nowhere! In a flash he had jumped into the jumpsuit-like apparel, except that it was webbed between the arms and ribs. The fabric there was as thin as a cicada's wings. When he opened up his hands, he looked like a bat!

"So, my friend! Just let the girl give me a sweet kiss later, and then I'll take care of these 5 fools for you! Very well! That's the deal!" Messick was muttering more to himself than to anyone else. Before Zhang Yang could say a word, Messick had already jumped off the back of Serpent. Was he trying to get himself killed by falling? And didn't he just say that he had a fear of heights?

As he opened up his arms, he actually started gliding like a flying squirrel! More impressively, Messick could evidently steer himself into his desired direction! He glided through the air and flew towards a Snow Condor.

Tsk! That is pretty impressive!

Bang!

Messick kept his 'wings' as he landed onto the Snow Condor. He raised up his fist and gave the knight on the Snow Condor a powerful punch that the knight would never forget!

Although he did not seem to be very likable or reliable, for that matter, he was still an elite tiered NPC after all! His punch inflicted about 7,000 damage on the knight!

After Zhang Yang turned around to take a look at him and saw how he was doing, he instantly felt relieved. Although the attacks of Messick were not particularly powerful, he did have the ability to regenerate his own health points. Against an equally powerful monster, he would naturally outlast them! Zhang Yang tried to hook the aggro of the other 4 monsters over to himself. Although the DPS of Felice was extremely high, but Zhang Yang had {Provoke}, so he still managed to reel in the aggro of the monsters.

The Serpent helped whenever it could. Spits of greenish venom were splattered on the monsters, dealing a DPS of up to 4,500 points! After just a while, the first knight had fallen! The second knight followed, and the third, and moving on to the forth! After slaying all 4 knights, Zhang Yang and Felice quickly turned their attention towards the fifth knight that Messick was dealing with. It did not take them long before they too, slew that knight and brought the battle to an end.

'Ding! You have completed a quest: Escape from the Winst Castle! Acquired 500,000 experience points!'

Zhang Yang commanded the Serpent to bring them down to the ground, and then he looked at Messick and said, "Now, we should be able to have a proper conversation, right?" It would be illogical if the quest ended here, there had to be more to it! There should be a chain of quests coming up!

Messick suddenly turned serious, he stopped fidgeting as he looked at the direction of Winst Castle, "I'm a person who loves traveling around the world. So, when I was 15, I left Winst Castle to pursue my dream, traveling all over the land and gathering more knowledge. Everything was great, until 3 years ago. I received news about my parents' death! They were great tailors. But, just because they could not make a dress that would satisfy that f*cking b*tch, Winst, she sentenced them to their death and chopped their heads off in public!"

No wonder Messick had gone through all the trouble just to embarrass that Duchess Winst! There was such deep hatred involved!

Messick laughed at himself and said, "After I found out about my parents' death, I actually came back and attempted to murder that b*tch to avenge my parents' death! How ridiculous of me to actually think that I can do it! When I arrived back at the town, I realized that the b*tch has a massive army under her command, and she's really powerful herself. I would have no chance at all!"

"So, I came up with another plan. I got close to her and tried to persuade her that I'm the best tailor there is in the entire world! Slowly, I convinced her by making some nice dresses for her, until I began to gain her trust. That was when I knew it was about time. So, I decided to humiliate her instead of trying to murder her. I made up a lie about how I have made a fantastic dress that could differentiate between the wise and the stupid. I believe you heard and seen enough to understand whose stupidity it actually determined in the end! That stupid b*tch actually bought it, and she really 'wore' it in the streets! Haha! She really did embarrass herself to the core!"

He smiled even more 'maliciously' than Fatty Han and Endless Starlight.

Zhang Yang shook his head again and again as he knew, this fellow must also be an 'impressive' pervert, himself!

Messick paused his smile and said, "So don't laugh at me for not daring enough to fight that b*tch! I don't want to die for anything! Now that I'm still alive, my existence is the only 'stain' on her life! My friend, I'll be traveling to other places once more, you should get moving, and get the hell out of here!"

Having finished retelling his backstory, Messick actually turned around and ran into the distance. In just a few seconds, he had already vanished from his sight! That fellow truly ran like a cockroach!

Zhang Yang frowned, speechless at what that had just happened. So, this quest really ends here, after aiding that Messick in running away? That's it?

Just as Zhang Yang started to ponder on his next move, he saw Messick jumping right out of the bush! Zhang Yang could not help but laugh, "What happened? Don't tell me, you already started to miss me the moment we parted?!"

"No, d*amnit! There's a bunch of knights behind me!" Messick screamed miserably as he fell to the ground right in front of Zhang Yang, with his bottom facing the sky. Zhang Yang saw that there was at least 7 to 8 arrows buried in his *ss! He could not help but to wonder if any of the arrows had actually 'penetrated' his anus!

Right after witnessing Messick's fall, a platoon of 12 flying knights appeared right before Zhang Yang. Each of them carried longbows, and they were all riding majestic looking Snow Condors.

"Brother! Please, help me!" Messick reached out for Zhang Yang in desperation.

"Huh? Isn't this the other guy that aided Messick in humiliating Duchess Winst? Kill him as well!" one of the knights shouted, and the 12 of them began to load their arrows into their longbows. Then, they began to fire the arrows at Zhang Yang and Messick!

What the f*ck!

This bastard! So, he ran off after he said he would, and now he brought so many knights back to Zhang Yang! What a troublesome guy!

Zhang Yang let out a battle cry and quickly jumped back onto the Serpent. Together, they charged at the enemies! Now that his life was at stake, Messick no longer performed any more unnecessary flourishes! He charged at one of the knights and began to launch his assaults.

Messick had about 1,100,000 health points, and he also had the skill - {Light of Life} to regenerate his own health points! He also had the skill - {Foul Chatters} that was so piercing to the ears, that even Zhang Yang was close to being provoked, himself! He was basically a self-healing meat shield! On the other hand, there were only 12 elite tier monsters. Even if Zhang Yang did not dare lure all of them in at once, he could let Messick tank all of them as he focuses on one monster at a time. It would actually be more effective that way!

"Hey there! You bunch of stupid assh*les! I haven't even impregnated your wives yet! Why are you going so far!" Messick would try to provoke the monsters with his tongue as he fought. Every time he opened his mouth, a series of foul, provocative words flew right out from his mouth and enraged the knights. The knights were so enraged that they could not stop hitting him with everything they got! So, this skill - {Foul Chatters} was ridiculously effective! Zhang Yang had finally seen it with his own eyes!

So Zhang Yang and Felice only focused on one monster at a time. With support from the Serpent, the three of them managed to bring down the health bar of their target down to 50%.

"Brother, my friend! I need help! Argh!" Messick was being turned into a pincushion, as more arrows struck him, his eyes rolling upwards from the pain.

Well, he did have {Light of Life} to regenerate his own health points, and the cooldown period of this skill was extremely short! Although he looked like he was in bad shape, but his health bar was still at around 50%! He was still far from death!

Zhang Yang did not 'entertain' him, he simply continued to focus his assaults on his opponent until they were dead, before he activated his {Provoke} and brought the second monster over to him. After slaying the second, Zhang Yang moved on to the third knight, and then the forth... even though Messick looked all battered and bloody, but his health bar was ridiculously long, and he had the ability to regenerate his own health points. Messick was definitely an unkillable cockroach!

However, Messick only had 10,000 MP. He could only activate his {Light of Life} 20 times, which was about twice the amount of his full health points! In other words, he is like having two HP bars which he can use as a back up when he is low on health! When Zhang Yang took down the seventh knight, Messick had finally ran out of MP, and was truly getting into trouble.

For the remainder of the battle, Zhang Yang hooked in the rest of the monsters and tanked them himself. Felice and the Serpent threw in a deadly combination of flame and venom. After some slashing and bashing, burning and bombarding, Zhang Yang had finally taken out all 12 knights!

"Pui! That b*tch really is malicious! She actually sent a heavy platoon to guard the only passage out of Winst Castle! My friend, what say you, escort me out of this hell! I need you, my friend!" Messick was plucking the arrows from his body as he pleaded for Zhang Yang to get him out of the area safely.

Zhang Yang folded his arms across his chest and said, "What's in it for me? Nothing, right? Not interested!"

Messick was beginning to feel anxious, as he began to show his pitiful face at Zhang Yang. But Zhang Yang did not fall for it. Then, he finally broke and said, "Alright! Fine! If you can escort me out of this place safely, I will tell you a secret! It would definitely make you rich! You'll earn a fortune, that will last you for the rest of your life!"

Zhang Yang only looked at Messick without saying a word.

"... very well then, it is the treasure house of the Winst family! I know where it is, and I also happen to know how to activate it!"

Chapter 475: Returning to the Winst Castle

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

That got Zhang Yang's attention, so it might really be true that there was a treasure chamber deep within the Territory!

He smiled and said, "Alright, seeing that you are so sincere already, I shall help you one more time!"

"You! You only agreed to help because you heard about the treasure chamber!" Messick was annoyed, "You are even more shameless than I am!"

"Don't you dare say something like that to my big brother!" Felice was annoyed by Messick's words, so she raised up her lance and jabbed the sharp tip straight into Messick butt. Previously, Zhang Yang wasn't aware of any of the arrows had really gone straight into Messick's anus, but this time, he was very positive that the lance totally penetrated Messick's 'vital' spot. Messick was in much pain that he kept howling towards the sky as he jumped about 3 meters high, with his hands pressed against his face! His face had turned really pale!

After recovering from the pain, Messick began to whine and complain, "I'd say you, my friend! You must educate this foul little lady friend of yours over here! I might just die thanks to her, before the underlings of that Duchess b*tch can get to me!"

Zhang Yang faked a cough and told Felice with a serious face, "Felice, you really should not do that. This fellow is just too d*mned dirty. You will just taint your hands by poking him with your lance! So just use your {Fire Missile} next time, if he tries anything weird again!"

"Roger, big brother!" Felice readily agreed to Zhang Yang's words.

Messick rolled his eyes and frowned, "I'd say you, my friend. You must not mislead little girls! You see, I have more time than you do, so why don't you let me aid you in educating her for a few days..."

Boom!

Felice had immediately turned into a magnificent Dragonhawk and had coughed out a blast of {Fire Missile} straight at Messick's face. Messick let out a miserable cry once more, his face blackened with soot once again. So, he lay down on the ground, pretending to be dead.

Zhang Yang kicked him back up the Serpent and jumped on as well, "Felice, let's get moving!"

So, the Serpent and Felice fluttered their wings and shot up into the sky in the same instant. The scene was beautiful, and spectacular! They flew towards the direction of the mountains.

Just like the Morning Town, the Winst Castle was right in the middle of the only route to travel in and out of the Ten Barren Seas from the Japan-Korea server. In other words, the only way of getting into the Ten Barren Seas would be through the Winst Castle! However, possessing a [Flying Mount] changes that. Zhang Yang and Messick could ride the Serpent and simply fly over the mountains and other obstacles on the ground. After about 10 minutes of soaring through the sky, they had crossed over mountains and arrived at a vast and snowy ice land.

The Serpent landed and lowered its head to let Zhang Yang and Messick dismount it.

Messick let out a yawn and stretched his back right after he got down from the 'transportation'. Then, his eyes began to 'lurk' around, trying to seek for a chance to escape.

Zhang Yang gave a signal to Felice, and that little lady understood. She immediately opened up her beak and spat another {Fire Missle} straight towards Messick.

"Argh --" Messick had lost count of how many times he had shouted in misery as he was once again standing in the middle of a sea of flames, like a rat, without a place to run.

Zhang Yang nodded at Felice again before she stopped her attack, and transformed back to her Humanoid Form. He laughed and said, "Phony tailor, it's your turn to hold up to your end of the deal!"

Messick was at the end of his rope, so he resignedly said, "My friend, your little lady over here is too 'hot' for me! But, I like it!"

Zhang Yang frowned immediately because this fellow here was definitely on the same 'level' as Fatty Han and Endless Starlight! If Fatty Han takes him as a Battle Companion, then... well, things would surely get 'merrier'!

Theoretically, players could pick any creature with limited A.I. as their Battle Companions. That would include monsters, NPCs, and even bosses! But, signing the Contract Bond to acquire a Battle Companion would be extremely difficult. The player must get the 'consent' of the monster or the NPC first, and they had to agree on their own accord!

As Felice was basically the first Battle Companion in the entire game, so her situation was slightly different. Normally, players would need to purchase a [Book of Contract Bond] in order to 'persuade' a monster or an NPC to become the player's Battle Companion. Only after the player and the monster or NPC have both signed the Contract Bond, then only the process would be complete. That way, players would be able to store the Battle Companion into their personal Battle Companion Slot. After that, players would be able to summon these Battle Companions at will.

When he saw Felice getting furious, he quickly stopped her and said, "If you don't want to turn into a roasted pig, you start talking, we had a deal! So, stop whining and get to the point! Now!"

"Alright! I'm not going back to Winst Castle to see that crazy b*tch anymore anyway!" Messick got to his feet and activated his {Light of Life}, and the burn marks on him vanished in an instant. He moved his arms and legs around a little bit and said, "You better empty out her Treasure Chamber, so that she learns well! Get her angry and run! Haha!"

Finally, Messick has told Zhang Yang about the hidden location of this Treasure Chamber and the method of operating the mechanism of it to enter the chamber. Right after he was done talking, Messick hurriedly left, as he noticed Felice staring at him murderously, yet again! As she had transformed into her Dragon-hawk Form again while he was still talking, that wretched Messick could not help but feel a chill down his spine! Fearful of being burned yet again, he had taken his leave in a hurry

Zhang Yang turned his sight towards the direction of Winst Castle, and said, "Felice, let's go back to Winst Castle now!"

The Serpent took flight again, and under the cover of the lightless night, he managed to get back into the castle without being noticed!

Following the instructions that Messick had given him, Zhang Yang arrived at the tallest building of the entire castle. It was the same, conspicuous tower with the flag, that had gotten Zhang Yang's attention when he first got here. Four statues of ancient gods were placed right outside the palace. Each of the statues held up a different kung-fu pose.

Zhang Yang began to lead Felice and the Serpent into the palace as the Serpent was struggling to fit its long and large body into space.

"Who goes there!" two heavily armored guards with lances in their hands suddenly leaped out from behind the pillars! Their lances flew at Zhang Yang, before he could even retort.

[Palace Guard] (Normal, Humanoid)

Level: 115

HP: 17,800

Defense: 100

Melee Attack: 5,103 - 6,103

These Normal Tiered monsters had no skills of their own whatsoever. They only knew regular attacks!

Felice answered them with her own lance. Slash! Slash! One slash at a time, she took out the two Palace Guards with ease! Having such a powerful Battle Companion, Zhang Yang became much more relaxed. Against normal monsters, he no longer needed to raise a finger. Felice would easily wipe the floor with them! Even if the monsters survived the first hit from Felice's lance, the Serpent would finish them off! So, it did not matter, even if Felice does not manage to take them out with a single blow.

Proceeding forward like an unstoppable train, Zhang Yang ventured deeper into the palace. He stopped at a towering statue.

According to Messick, there would be a switch mechanism right on the back of this statue. All Zhang Yang needed to do to get the entrance open would be to turn the switch button 3 times to the left, 4 times to the right, and 2 times to the left. After Zhang Yang did what he was told, he heard a sound - 'Click cluck!'. A door appeared right behind the statue, and the path that leads down to the underground seemed eerie and spooky.

Zhang Yang went down the stairs swiftly, Felice following closely behind. Meanwhile, the Serpent attempted to squeeze itself into the entrance, however, got its body stuck in between two walls beside it! The big fellow was unwilling to admit the fact that it was no longer a cute, little thing, but a giant beast. It blinked its two little eyes pitifully at Zhang Yang, trying to wriggle its butt in, as if it wanted to prove that it still had a slim, small body! Well, it looked more cute than pitiful.

As Zhang Yang could feel the dust falling from the ceiling, he could not help but to get worried that if Serpent continues forcing its way through, the entire underground tunnel might just collapse! So, he quickly unsummoned Serpent and continued his way deeper into the Treasure Chamber that he had been promised. As hoped, he did arrive at the Treasure Chamber! That Messick may not be all bad, after all!

The chamber was vast, and torches hung on the walls, illuminating the entire chamber. There was a large number of Treasure Chests lying around the sides of the room where Zhang Yang stood. Some of the Treasure Chests were open, and there were countless jewelry, gold, silver and other kinds of treasure within those chests! Illuminated by the torches, the treasures looked like a scene from a fairytale!

"Who dares to trespass into the Treasure Chamber of the Winst Family! Whoever you are, you must die!" Suddenly, a guard with a full set of Heavy Armor came out of nowhere and swung his sword towards Zhang Yang!

[Treasure Chamber Guard] (Elite, Humanoid)

Level: 115

HP: 1,150,000

Defense: 1,200

Melee Attack: 8,123 - 9,123

Skill:

[Heart Pierce: Inflicts a massive blow to the target. The attack depends on the duration of the charge. Inflicts a basic damage of 100% melee attack. Damage will increase by 100% for every 1 more second of chanting period. Can stack up to 500% of damage. Chanting time: 1 - 4 seconds. Range: 30 meters.

Note: Loyal Squire of the Winst Family, guards the safety of the Treasure Chamber. Anyone who dares trespass the Treasure Chamber becomes their target for elimination!

This {Heart Pierce} was something to watch out for!

It was still manageable for Zhang Yang as there was only one monster coming at him with {Heart Pierce}. But, what if a few more monsters charged at Zhang Yang with {Heart Pierce}? What that was more impressive the fact that this monster was supposed to be a melee-type monster, but its {Heart Pierce} was actually a ranged attack! What the hell is this!

As he thought about this, Zhang Yang had already charged up to the monster, with his [Sword of Purging Devourer] drawn! He swung his sword across the air and the sharp edge of his sword cut through the armor of the monster. The sound of metal clashing into each other clanged across the area repeatedly, as Zhang Yang continuously slashing the monster without mercy.

Felice had also transformed into Dragon-hawk Form and had begun to launch her skill - {Fire Missile}!

The existence of this elite monster was definitely a nightmare to every other single player in the current stage of the game! Its normal attack was already 8,600 damage! Players would normally only have about 30,000 HP, even if the players are equipped with a full set of Yellow-Gold equipment. They would most probably die after four to five hits from the monster!

Zhang Yang was no such player, however.The normal attack of the Palace Guard could only deal about 3,000 damage, due to his ridiculously high defense. Even though the Palace guard had a terrifyingly long health bar of 1,150,000 health points, Zhang Yang and Felice working together was another different matter! It would only take about 1 minute for them to slay this monster.

Not long after the battle started, a progress bar suddenly appeared right above the head of the Palace Guard. Zhang Yang saw it with his sharp eyes and he reacted almost immediately. He smacked the Palace Guard with his shield and threw him off his balance. The progress bar of the monster was interrupted before it could even be launched!

Shoof!

However, the monster was still able to land one attack on Zhang Yang, inflicting Zhang Yang with a damage of 2,842 points!

Well, it was a Skill attack, and as long as the monster can lock onto a target, then the monster would definitely be able to hit its target! However, because the progress bar of the monster was interrupted by Zhang Yang's 'Supporting Attack', the monster could only inflict Zhang Yang with 100% Basic Damage, and Zhang Yang did not feel a thing at all!

The battle raged on, with the sound of the metal clashing into each other. Zhang Yang had fully exerted the potential of 'Supporting Attack'. He oppressed the monster with his crazy and powerful moves, to the point that the monster could not even regain its balance! Out of 5 of his poorly swung normal attacks, it would be considered to be very lucky if one of its attacks could even land on Zhang Yang!

In just a brief moment, the Palace Guard clanked to the ground, dead, dropping a pair of Gray-Silver Tier gloves. Unfortunately, Gray-Silver Tier equipment were no longer worth a penny at all! Maybe the gloves, shields, and necklaces could still be sold for hundreds of gold, but the gloves and chest plates of this tier would only sell for about 50 gold, at best.

Zhang Yang continued to push deeper into the Treasure Chamber. Naturally, Palace Guards would cut in and interrupt his process, coming in one after another. However, every single one of them fell quickly under his sword, providing a substantial amount of experience points.

As Serpent was too big to move freely in the Treasure Chamber, Zhang Yang summoned Whitey instead to move faster. Why didn't he summon Mythical Turtle? The reason was simple, it was because the Turtle was simply too slow! Unless Turtle had a pair of rockets strapped behind it's back, it would not be able to keep up with the rapid pace that Zhang Yang had set.

After pushing forward for a while, Zhang Yang found himself in a large hall. And finally, there was a more powerful monster in front of him!

[Guardian Tenbardu] (Yellow-Gold, Humanoid)

Level: 115

HP: 5,750,000

Defense: 2,000

Melee Attack: 9,820 - 10,820

Skills:

[Ground Crusher: Cracks the ground open with extreme power, causing the floor to break, creating rocks that will be launched at its target, inflicting 200% Physical Damage to the target.

[Meteor Summon: Summons a wave of meteors that will rain down upon an area of 10 X 10 meter square, inflicting 20,000 Physical Damage every second! Lasts for 5 seconds.

[Bleed: Target will bleed continuously while being struck in the head, neck, chest and other vital parts of the body, inflicting an amount of health loss, equivalent to 1% of the target's maximum HP.

Note: The left-hand man of the Duchess Winst.

This boss was completely bare-chested, only wearing a pair of trousers. He was similarly bare-footed, and he wore a pair of punching gloves on his hands. Vague, cold, light beamed from in between his fingers.

Zhang Yang had no worry of facing a Yellow-Gold boss, however, there were 5 fully-armored Elite Tier Palace Guards, standing right behind Guardian Tenbardu! Those were the deadly Palace Guards who were capable of using {Heart Pierce}! If they ever activated their skills at the same time...

Zhang Yang took a deep breath, preparing for a tough battle ahead, awakening his full potential!

"Felice, just follow my lead! Whichever monster I take, support me with everything you've got!"

"Roger, big brother!" Felice nodded.

With a throw of {Spear of Obliteration}, the battle finally began!

"Where did the rat come from? How dare you trespass the Treasure Chamber! Allow me, Tenbardu, to be the one who ends your life!" Tenbardu was not particularly tall, but his muscular body packed a lot of power. Those bulging, explosive muscles would twitch and jerk about whenever he moved.

His footwork was extremely swift, as he charged up to Zhang Yang at supersonic speed! He raised his fist and threw a punch at Zhang Yang's head!

The Physical Attacks of the boss had a {Bleed} effect. Zhang Yang did not dare to let the boss hit his 'vital' parts! So, he quickly raised up his shield when he saw the fist flying at him! It would really be troublesome, if Zhang Yang ever lets the boss touch any of his 'vital' parts!

Kaboom!

The fist of Tenbardu landed on the shield solidly, pushing Zhang Yang two to three steps back! Obviously, the boss slightly overpowered him!

Zhang Yang already has a full set of Violet-Platinum equipment over his body, so he would have enough strength to literally crush a Yellow-Gold boss! But, his [Titan Wall] was just a Level 80 Violet-Platinum shield. It would not be a problem for him to crush a Level 80 Yellow-Gold boss! But, Tenbardu is a Level 115 Yellow-Gold boss! Those numbers made a lot of difference!

Furthermore, Zhang Yang was geared up for defensive battles. Naturally, he would be lacking in the offense department.

"Kill!" The five elite Place Guards also joined the battle. They started to surround Zhang Yang in a circular formation.

Zhang Yang picked one of the Palace Guards, and began to launch his assaults aggressively, with his [Sword of Purging Devourer].

Felice was unlike a [Mount] which would require Zhang Yang's command to act, this little lady had a high amount of autonomy, which would allow her to adapt and act in various situations. She immediately joined the battle and supported Zhang Yang with her {Fire Missile}.

The moment that Zhang Yang had been waiting for finally arrived! The Rage Points that Zhang Yang accumulated was enough for him to strike! With a stomp on the ground, Zhang Yang activated his {Thunder Strike} and caught all 5 Palace Guards with slow down effects. He quickly ran out of their formation to minimize his injuries. But, the boss was not affected by his {Thunder Strike}. He continued punching at the face and neck of Zhang Yang, trying to inflict Zhang Yang with his {Bleed} effect!

Zhang Yang was not able to evade the swift punches of the boss, but he could at least put up his best efforts at preventing the boss from punching the 'vital' points of his body! His main aim was to avoid being afflicted with the {Bleed} effect!

The attack power of Felice was extremely powerful! With just a few strikes, she had already managed to hook over the aggro of the Palace Guard. However, Zhang Yang activated his {Provoke} to hook the monster back to him as a temporary measure.

After a short while, the five elite monsters suddenly stopped their assaults. Progress bars appeared on their heads, all of a sudden!

They were about to activate their {Heart Pierce} together!

Chapter 476: Monk of Flame Inheritance

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhang Yang let out an intimidating roar. Instead of retreating, he pushed forwards against the elite monsters, slamming his shield into one of the monster's faces! At the same instant, he raised his right leg and gave a powerful kick right at the other elite monster beside the monster he was currently engaged with.

Bam! Book!

Although Zhang Yang was at a disadvantage in terms of, Strength when standing up against a Level 115 Yellow-Gold boss, but he could still take on the Elite Tier monsters without much trouble. The two Elite Tier monsters staggered back as he pressed on, unable to retaliate. Their chanting for {Heart Pierce} were repeatedly interrupted!

'-2,814!'

'-2,711!'

Zhang Yang was inflicted with two basic damage values of the monsters' normal attacks, rather than two {Heart Pierce}, as he had managed to interrupt the monsters from casting the skills.

He then turned around and launched another sidekick at the third Elite Tier Palace Guard without any moment of pause. With a similarly powerful force from his kick, the guard was forced to stop chanting for his skill. Zhang Yang kicked the body of the guard until he was slouched over!

'-2,911!'

Another normal attack landed on Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang quickly reacted, and activated his {Blast Wave}!

Pak! Pak!

The remaining two Palace Guards were stunned at the same time, and their chanting for {Heart Pierce} was interrupted as well! The main reason why Zhang Yang did not just activate his {Blast Wave} straight, was because the effective area of {Blast Wave} not being wide enough to cover all 5 monsters. Plus, the 5 monsters were not standing in the same spot. As they were surrounding Zhang Yang from 5 different directions, Zhang Yang could only hit 2 or 3 of them with his {Blast Wave}. If they were standing in front of Zhang Yang on the same spot, Zhang Yang would not have to go through so much trouble!

The 5 Palace Guards were busy trying to chant their skills, but instead, each of them only managed to inflict Zhang Yang with their basic damage. What a sad case for them!

The boss came right up and launched an angry attack at Zhang Yang, and that punch landed right on Zhang Yang's neck! As the sharp edge of the glove slid over his neck, he succeeded in giving Zhang Yang's throat a surgically narrow cut! Instantly, fresh blood started oozing out from the cut!

'-4,183!'

'-972!'

The first damage value came from the punch of the boss, it was a direct hit! And the second damage value came from the {Bleed} effect, which reduced 1% of Zhang Yang's health bar!

The small amount of damage wasn't a problem at all. But the main problem was that Zhang Yang's throat had been sliced right open! Although it wouldn't inflict him with any additional damage, that cut on his throat would not allow him to consume [Potions, because the Potion would simply drip out from the cut on the throat! It had become a serious problem for him! Of course, the cut, or any other wounds would disappear as time passed by, but still, it would require about 30 seconds for that to happen!

"I am Tenbardu ! I am the undefeated!" The boss roared into the sky and launched another powerful punch towards the ground.

Instantly, a large crack appeared on the ground, and it rapidly streaked towards Zhang Yang, at blinding speed! Zhang Yang was not able to react to that. He lost his footing and he started falling into the crack! As the ground rushed up to meet him, Felice dove down and wrapped her claws around Zhang Yang's shoulders, lifting Zhang Yang up in the nick of time. Then, she carried him up for about 3 to 4 meters high into the air.

Crack! Crack! Boom!

The crack continued to expand by up to 30 meters far, opening up by about 3 meters! Following the crack's expansion, a row of sharp stones sprouted out from the ground, forming an uneven, crude wall, made of stone!

It was the boss's skill - {Ground Crusher}!

"Good job! Felice! You saved my life! Haha!" Zhang Yang was laughing out of pure joy as he extended his gratitude towards Felice.

Felice blushed as she smiled, then she continued to rain hellfire upon one of the Elite monsters with her {Fire Missile}!

"B*stard!" Tenbardu let out a roar of anger as he continued to pursue Zhang Yang.

One minute later, the first Elite monster finally fell to Zhang Yang, Felice and Whitey's combined assaults!

"You bastards! How dare you kill my men!" Tenbardu was enraged at the death of his man. He reached out for the sky and launched a powerful attack. The ceiling of the Treasure Chamber suddenly became a realm filled with stars! Shoof shoof shoof! Countless meteors were raining down to the ground in an area of 10 X 10 meter square feet, right in front of the boss! It was like a hail of mortars during a world war!

{Meteor Summon}!

'-11,916!'

Zhang Yang was inflicted with a high damage value as he was caught in the middle of the 'meteor shower'. He quickly made a tactical retreat by backpedaling rapidly, until he was out of the effective range of the {Meteor Summon}!

"Haha! Yes, you should run, like the stray dog that you are when you are facing me, the Guardian Tenbardu!" the boss laughed out loud and continued to pursue Zhang Yang. He launched his assaults aggressively, and every single hit from the boss went for the 'vital' spots around Zhang Yang's head! The eyes, the neck, even the ears!

Suddenly, "{Ground Crusher}"!

Tenbardu punched the ground again, as another crack expanded across the ground and another roll of stone hideous stone spikes sprouted out from the crack! The rumbling sound was 'spectacular' to hear.

Actually, this boss was not really that difficult to take on. But, the 5 Elite monsters that came with him had made him significantly more difficult. If Zhang Yang only had to tank against the boss's aggressive assaults, with all his skills unleashed, he could have easily taken the boss down!

If Zhang Yang was still the old Zhang Yang, then he would have failed to survive against a boss with the support of 5 super strong Elite monsters. Now that he had Felice supporting him, his damage output had increased by more than double, or maybe triple! As time passed by, the remaining 4 Elite monsters soon fell, one after another!

Since all of the 'supporters' were now dead, the boss had now become child's play. He could actually torture the boss at leisure!

Activating super skills one after another, Zhang Yang unleashed hell upon the boss. In less than 5 minutes, Tenbardu let out a miserable cry and collapsed onto the ground. After the long animation of the boss' dramatic death finally ended, the loot began to drop out of the dead body.

Naturally, Zhang Yang would not even look at the normal Yellow-Gold equipment and the Gray-Silver equipment. He shoved all of them into his inventory immediately. But, after picking up 4 pieces of equipment, he discovered a piece of pale-silver fragment lying on the ground. It was like a small corner of a broken turtle shell. Both sides of the fragment had mysterious runes.

[Monk of Flame Inheritance Fragment (3)] (Inheritance Class: Z)

Description: Collect all 4 pieces of the 'Monk of Flame Inheritance' fragments, combine them to acquire the Inheritance Keepsake of the Monk of Flame. By doing so, you shall activate the Quest Line for 'Monk of Flame Inheritance'. Upon the completion of the final quest of the Quest Line, you shall acquire the Monk of Flame Inheritance. Other than the skills of your own Class, you shall obtain parts of the skills the Monk of Flame has to offer. All 4 pieces of the [Monk of Flame Inheritance Fragments] will resonate when they are close to each other. If you are killed by other players who also happen to have the [Monk of Flame Inheritance Fragment, the [Monk of Flame Inheritance Fragment] on you shall drop, and other players would be able to claim it. All [Monk of Flame Inheritance Fragments] cannot be stored anywhere, only taken along by the players.

It was an Inheritance Fragment!

Still, Zhang Yang could only stare at it in dismay. After entering the Chaos Realm, well, the Inheritance Patch had been released upon the opening of the Chaos Realm. So it was perfectly normal for players to get [Inheritance Fragments] from bosses! This Class Z [Monk of Flame Inheritance] belonged to the lowest category of all! No wonder Zhang Yang got it from killing a mere Yellow-Gold boss!

The best Inheritance ranking would naturally be the Class S, followed by the Class A, then the Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, and last but not least, the Class Z, making up a total of 10 Classes. So, Class Z was the worst of all Inheritances! Among the 10 Classes, Class C Inheritance was a 'dividing crest' that showcased the power difference between the different Classes. Those Inheritances that were above Class C would allow players to activate "Transformation Skills", an awesome skill to have! Unfortunately, those Inheritances that are lower than Class C does not have such perks. Players would only get to acquire new skills according to the Inheritances that they acquire.

Let's have a look at the [Vampire Inheritance] fragment which was currently in Zhang Yang's possession. Zhang Yang could activate the Vampiric Transformation if he wanted to, and it would last for 1 hour. This transformation would offer the player incredible regeneration, and also the ability to feed on blood to recover health points! Basically, this Inheritance Fragment would turn a player indestructible! Of course, the cooldown period of this Transformation Skill would be as long as 72 hours! So, the possessor could only use it to show off, once in a while!

So after the Inheritance Patch was released, the strength and capability of a guild would be decided based on the number of players in their guild who were capable of 'transforming'! The more players with Inheritances of Classes C and above, the stronger the guild would be, and also, the better they would be able to perform in both assault and defense battles!

According to rumors from his previous life, Imperial Sky, at its peak, had over a hundred players with at least a Class C Inheritance. Many of them 'transformed' as they charged towards the castle during 'Territory Conquests'. If other guilds did not have the same number of players with at least Class C Inheritances, then there would be no way for a guild to hold out against the assault of Imperial Sky! It would be like a hot knife cutting through butter!

Because of that, Imperial Sky was able to secure the 'throne' to the best guild in the entire China server, in Zhang Yang's previous life! The Crimson Rage from his previous life was also considered as a super strong guild, however, the number of players with at least Class C Inheritances were not more than 40! The guild, Clear Water, that Zhang Yang had belonged to in his previous life only had 7 players with at least Class C Inheritances!

After putting the Inheritance Fragment into his inventory, Zhang Yang would not waste his time collecting the remaining fragments of this particular Inheritance. After all, it was the lowest Class there is. So, he decided to take it back to White Jade City to try to sell it. There should be some people who would willing to purchase it to try its effect.

The only inconvenience that these Inheritance Fragments would bring upon players would be, that players had to equip it, in order for the effect to be available. So, he cannot sell it in his Little Merchandise or throw it into the Auction House.

After clearing the stage, Zhang Yang continued to proceed deeper into the Treasure Chamber and slew a couple more monsters. Then, he arrived at a secret chamber which was much smaller. There, he encountered the second boss. It also happened to be the end of the entire Treasure Chamber. This boss was a middle-aged man, a Spellcaster clad in a white robe. He wore a magic hat on top of his head. He was very skinny, and he held an emerald staff in his right hand.

[Chiller Shenro] (Yellow-Gold, Humanoid)

Level: 115

HP: 5,750,000

Defense: 2,000

Magic Attack: 5,752 - 6,552

Skills:

[Frost Arrow: Launches a Frost Attack at the target, inflicts 200% Magic Attack of Frost Damage to the target and reduces 50% movement speed of the target. Lasts for 5 seconds. Casting time: 2 seconds.

[Frost Coffin: Randomly forms a Frost Coffin around a target, inflicts 50,000 Frost Damage to all targets within attack range and freezes the target. Targets that are frozen would not be able to do anything for 10 seconds. The {Frost Coffin} could be activated instantly. But the duration for the {Frost Coffin} to completely solidify would be 3 seconds.

Note: The right-hand man of Duchess Winst.

Fortunately, this boss did not have any underlings around him.

So, Zhang Yang had nothing to be afraid of. All he needed to do was to watch out for the {Frost Coffin}. This 'right-hand' posed minimal threat to Zhang Yang!

"Felice, let's do this!"

Zhang Yang charged towards the boss with large steps. Along the way, he charged up and threw a {Spear of Obliteration} at the boss.

A damage value was inflicted upon the boss. Shenro let out a nasal shout and raised up the staff in his hand at Zhang Yang as he began to cast the spell for {Frost Arrow}.

At the same time, Felice had completed casting her skill, and the {Fire Missile}was ready to take off! A fist-sized {Fire Missile} was blasted straight at the boss. Her attack was much higher than Zhang Yang's. Her {Fire Missile} did a damage of '-21,231', and the aggro of the boss was switched over to her, making her the primary target of the boss.

But, the boss was already begun with his chanting. It was not possible to interrupt his spell at that point. He had activated his {Frost Arrow}, before he switched his target to Felice! An arrow formed from the frost out of mid-air and was fired straight at Zhang Yang, damaging him by 7,612 points.

Although that amount of damage was not really that high in the first place, the spells of the boss could not be interrupted, nor blocked with skills. So the DPS of the boss had reached up to 4,000 damage already! Zhang Yang only had about 97,000 Maximum HP! With his current amount of HP, he could only tank against the attacks of the boss for about 25 seconds, tops!

Furthermore, the total DPS that Zhang Yang, Felice and Whitey could channel out at the moment, was only about 20,000 damage. So, it would still need about 5 minutes to empty out a total of 5,750,000 HP!

Obviously, it was not possible to tank against the boss. So the most logical course of action would be to use the terrain of the ground when it comes to soloing a Magic type boss, or a Ranged boss, for that matter.

Zhang Yang ran towards the boss as rapidly as he could. When he was 10 meters from the boss, Zhang Yang activated his {Charge} and crashed into the boss. With a flick of his [Sword of Purging Devourer, he began to launch his assaults on the boss, as aggressively as possible. Trying hard to maximize the efficiency of his attacks, he also used his shield to bash the boss in the face.

Even though Shenro was a Magic type boss, his Strength was still similar to a Melee type boss. Zhang Yang kept bashing his shield into the face of the boss, and although there were marks of his shield stamped on the boss's face, the boss was not staggered at all. The chanting of the boss was not interrupted at all!

Well, logically speaking, because Magic type bosses usually needed to chant in order to launch their skills, if players could easily tie them down with supporting attacks like that, Magic bosses would turn into 'Santa Clauses', giving players 'free and easy' equipment! It just simply would not do! Players would take advantage of that and slaughter the Magic bosses repeatedly for powerful equipment, which would eventually break the game!

Chapter 477: The Return of the Whiner

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhang Yang went all out, trying his very best to capture the aggro of the boss.

However, his DPS never even surpassed 4,000 damage. To get the boss' attention from Felice, one would have to reach a DPS of 10,000 damage, at least! That wouldn't be achieved so easily! After pushing himself, having gulped down a bottle of [Power Potion] and even activating his {Dance of the Heaven and Earth}, Zhang Yang finally succeeded at becoming the primary target of the boss.

30 seconds after the battle raged on, Zhang Yang found himself close to death, having been tossed around relentlessly by the boss, without any moment of pause. He had no choice but to activate his {Berserker's Heal}, and healed himself back up to full health again.

Right after that, Shenro raised his staff and chanted a few spells in quick succession. Instantly, the air surrounding of Zhang Yang began to freeze, and a layer of frost began to form on the ground, followed by a second piece of frost rising up vertically to the left of Zhang Yang, and the third wall of frost forming on the right side! The frost walls slowly merged together as they tried to 'imprison' Zhang Yang.

Well, obviously, that was the {Frost Coffin}! The boss was up to no good!

Zhang Yang quickly turned around and ran like hell. Whitey turned tail and lumbered after him. Felice conveniently started flying away. Wings are always convenient. However, the effective area of the {Frost Coffin} was vast. It covered a 20 meters radius area across the ground! Even though there is a 3-second gap for the {Frost Coffin} to completely form, if a player did not react at the very moment when the boss begins to chant the spell for the skill, then the player will definitely be unable to get out of the effective area of the skill!

3 seconds later, the {Frost Coffin} had completely formed. Instantly, the entire effective area was covered in frost! Zhang Yang could see and feel the chill through every single cell of his body! It was extremely cold!

Without prolonging the battle, Zhang Yang charged back into the battle with his {Charge}. He raised his sword once more and began to inflict the boss with as much damage as possible.

Shenro let out a thunderous roar and he struck Zhang Yang with another shot of his {Frost Arrow}.

Zhang Yang was going all out. After he activated his {Shield Wall}, {Last Vigor}, and {Blood of Life}, he immediately activated his {Rearm} to reset the cooldown of all his skills! Right after that, he continued to bombard the boss with all his Skills again. Once they were in cool down again, he retreated to the narrow parts of the chamber. He went up to the path right outside the entrance, and used the corner of the entrance to remain out of the boss' line of sight. By moving just that little bit at the right timing as the boss tried to angle his way about, he managed to prevent the boss from hitting him.

Consuming [Bandages]!

'4,000!'

'4,000!'

...

Zhang Yang began to heal up repeatedly, as the green numerical values started appearing right on top of his head one after another.

Shenro was halfway chanting his {Frost Arrow} when he was forced to stop his chanting, and had to shuffle his feet in order to get to Zhang Yang who was now healing himself uninterruptedly.

Zhang Yang could only use his 'First Aid Kit' four times before the boss stood right before him! As Zhang Yang was using his fifth [Bandage, the boss was already right in front of him! Actually, Shenro could have interrupted Zhang Yang from using [Bandage] to heal for the fifth time, by throwing a normal punch at Zhang Yang. However, the first choice of attack for all Magic type bosses in this game would always be to chant a Magic type skill. So, when the boss was done chanting his skill for another {Frost Arrow}, Zhang Yang had already healed himself up by another 8,000 HP!

Before the boss could let his arrow fly, Zhang Yang quickly stepped back into the secret chamber. The boss had to follow him, of course. That marked the beginning of the wild goose chase.

"You coward! Face me, and fight like a man!" Shenro roared and hobbled after Zhang Yang, as they ran in and out of the entrance.

In, and out, and in, and out...

Like an idiot, the boss followed Zhang Yang about, unable to strike him.

Although Zhang Yang was moving around a lot more now, his DPS never got any lower! He kept using his two powerful skills - {Horizontal Sweep} and {Destructive Smash} the moment the cooldown periods were over. He was so efficient, that not a single second was wasted! His constant movement was more to wait for their cooldown periods than to evade the boss!

Whenever the {Berserker's Heal} and {Shield Wall} were ready, Zhang Yang would stop running and step right up to fight the boss head-on. Whenever his health started getting too low, he would start running in and out of the entrance again. The boss was in a total mess as he as being herded around a like a cow!

80%, 60%, 40%... the 5,750,000 HP of the boss was dropping rapidly!

If Zhang Yang had an Inheritance above the Class of C at the moment, he would only have to activate his 'Transformation,' and then he would be good to tank up against a Violet-Platinum boss alone, without any problems at all! Without even talking about the power of a Class S Inheritance, even the Class B King Kong Inheritance that Zhang Yang once possessed in his previous life, could turn him into a King Kong, and gain an instant boost, giving him 300% Defense, 70% Magic Immunity, 20 times his Maximum Health Points, and 3 times his attack power! These transformation power ups were enough for Zhang Yang to completely overpower a Violet-Platinum boss!

Inheritances were over-the-top!

Unfortunately, searching for an Inheritance with a 'Transformation Effect' was difficult enough. It would only be more difficult getting a Class S Inheritance. As previously mentioned, in the near future, the power of guilds would directly correlate to the number of members who can transform. Even a low leveled guild, completely made up of 50 players who are capable of transforming would flood the earth with the blood of their enemies! Inheritances with 'Transformation Effects' would determine the strength of guilds in the future!

So Zhang Yang is very determined to acquire the God of War Inheritance! All he can hope is that the Inheritance will 'wait' for him before anyone else claims it!

Zhang Yang had been silently reminding himself to search for the [God of War Inheritance Fragments] right after he secures Winst Castle as his second Territory.

Now that Zhang Yang has opened up the Chaos Realm, every server would enter the Chaos Realm from their own respective entrances. Judging from the current situation, these 'special' Territory points would be as easy to acquire as Morning Town. As for other Territories that were spread across the Chaos Realm, they would require tougher quests. Well, the game developers had been considerate when they were designing this part of the game. They did not intend to have players waste half a day every time they had to travel around the Chaos Realm. With eight Territories acting as starting points for the players from all eight different servers across the world, the players had to travel a great distance to meet up at the center point!

So, one month would be enough for Zhang Yang to conquer all eight Territories from all eight servers! However, if he really did that, he would be declaring war on the other seven servers. All other seven servers would definitely join forces to take down the China server!

Never, ever unite your enemies to a single cause! So, Zhang Yang would only be taking the Gateway Territory belonging to the Japan-Korea server.

Five minutes later, Shenron finally admitted his defeat as he let out a miserable scream and fell beneath the [Sword of Purging Devourer]. As a parting 'gift', it had left Zhang Yang with a substantial amount of experience points.

The loot dropped by Shenron were considered average. There was only 1 Yellow-Gold equipment and 3 Gray-Silver equipment, which could still be sold for gold coins. So, Zhang Yang swept them into his inventory. Unfortunately, the boss did not drop any [Inheritance Fragments, slightly disappointing Zhang Yang.

The guardian no longer being in the way, Zhang Yang moved on to claim his treasure!

After looking around in the secret chamber, Zhang Yang realized that none of them were actually valuable! Even though the secret chamber was littered with treasure chests, it was all junk?! How ridiculous! All he found were some [Pearls] and [Jewelries]! Each of these [Pearls] and [Jewelries] could only get him some silver coins if he sold them in the market! The only thing that mattered in this game would be gold coins, and these [Pearl] and [Jewelry] would have to be sold to NPC businessmen in order to turn them into something worthwhile. Zhang Yang resignedly accepted what he could get, for these [Pearls] and [Jewelries] could at least earn him some money.

After searching around for 5 to 6 minutes, Zhang Yang only found more [Pearls] and [Jewelries] in all of the chests. But one particular chest was locked.

It would seem that the 'real' treasure was here, buried within this dark-red chest!

Zhang Yang drew his [Sword of Purging Devourer] and swung it at the chest. All he heard was a 'Chiang!', and sparks were seen as the sword edge clashed into the lock of the chest. There was not even a scratch on the lock of the chest!

Chiang! Chiang! Chiang!

Zhang Yang could not believe it with his own eyes. Even after dozens of strikes with his powerful sword, the chest remained intact.

So this is it? Dead end?

Zhang Yang frowned. Just as he was to retrace his steps, hoping to find something that he might have missed out, he heard the sound of footsteps approaching him. Thud, thud, thud! The footsteps indicated that someone was approaching him in a hurry. He quickly turned his head around and saw Duchess Winst in a gorgeous aristocratic dress standing right at the entrance of the Treasure Chamber.

Zhang Yang almost failed to recognize her, after she had put on a dress! The difference was really astounding!

Standing right before Zhang Yang, this blonde woman did look very noble and refined, calm and poised, even though she wasn't exactly resting. She looked totally different from the Duchess that Zhang Yang had seen naked in the street. The neckline plunged down and her two boobies were half-exposed in the air. Pressed against each other, a very deep, defined cleavage was formed in between the two large boobies, and she looked marvelously seductive.

"You daredevil! How dare you trespass my Treasure Chamber! Death is your only way out!" the Duchess raised her staff up and pointed it at Zhang Yang with an intimidating aura. Her boobies jiggled with that sudden movement.

Zhang Yang frowned again, for a different reason this time. Is the boss here to battle him, or is she here to seduce him? She was not making any sense at all!

He laughed out loud and said, "My dear Duchess, why aren't you wearing that 'Fantastic' dress today?"

Winst was instantly enraged! The staff in her hand suddenly glowed with a golden light, followed by a stream of lightning bolts striking down on Zhang Yang! All at once, Zhang Yang was inflicted with a damage of 10,000 points.

Zhang Yang frowned, sensing trouble in the coming fight. The {Radiant Punishment} of the boss had not required any chanting time! He would not be able to fight her like he did against Shenro! So, no more playing with angles and obstacles! It would be suicidal, moving around, trying to kite her as he waits for the cooldown of his skills!

This Duchess has extremely powerful attacks, and she could also activate her {Magic Barrier}. Fortunately for Zhang Yang, the amount of damage that the {Magic Barrier} could absorb would depend on the number of players around the boss! However, it would still be a serious problem if she is able to activate this skill frequently enough.

Well, Guardians are naturally at a disadvantage when they ever encounter a Magic type boss. So Zhang Yang could not even think of any possible way that he can win this battle!

Should he activate his {Shadow of the Void}, and make his escape, first? He could wait for Han Ying Xue and his gang to reach Level 100 first before they come back together and slay this b*tch. However, it had its risks too! A large number of players from all eight different servers across the world would have already entered the Chaos-Realm by that time! What if the Japan-Korea server ever forms an 'international alliance' with other servers? Things would escalate, and get messier if he ever waits that long!

No matter the cost, Zhang Yang decided to take down this b*tch and take over the Gateway Territory for the Japan-Korea region before that happens! He planned to make the players from the Japan-Korea region look bad again.

"Hey, my man! I've thought it through, and I have decided to come back and make another scene!" Just as Zhang Yang was about to make a tactical retreat, the voice of a macho man was heard from the same direction of the Duchess. A man with a handsome, yet wretched face appeared right behind the boss.

It was Messick! The whiner!

Zhang Yang laughed out loud, Messick has {Foul Chatters}, which can hook over the aggro of the boss! It could not be helped, he was born with those perfect, Aryan looks that were asking for a punch to dislodge the perfect symmetry. He also has {Life of Light} to recover his own HP. So, he would definitely be the most suitable tank against this boss!

Messick had an MP bar that was long enough for him to activate {Life of Light} for 20 times, which would recover a total amount of 2,200,000 HP. Furthermore, he has a total of 1,100,000 HP. So, he basically has a total of 3,300,000 HP before he dies! If the boss wanted to kill him first, it would require about six to seven minutes!

Zhang Yang himself would be able to tank against her for two to three minutes long. If the boss really cannot be killed within that time, then Zhang Yang would have to admit defeat.

Shoof!

With a {Charge} Zhang Yang triggered the boss battle. Currently, the cooldown for all his 'healing' skills was over. So, he should be able to tank against the boss for a good while. When he no longer can tank, he would activate his {Shadow of the Void} to disengage from battle, leaving Messick to be the main tanker of this battle. By the time Messick falls, the cooldown periods for his {Berserker's Heal} and {Shield Wall} should all be over by then.

Pak! Pak! Pak!

Streams of lightning fell upon Zhang Yang, one after another, inflicting him with a damage of 10,000 points, repeatedly. Meanwhile, Felice and Whitey were also attacking the boss with all their might, showing that they were not just a bunch of Looney Toons1 cheering for him with some useless fireworks. On the other hand, Messick's mouth was really full of foul words! He pratted on at the Duchess, saying that her boobies were mismatched and oddly shaped, and that her butt was shapeless. Zhang Yang also heard something along the lines of her thighs being as large as elephant's legs, and something that had to do with her farting like a skunk! The Duchess was so greatly provoked that she started smoking up in anger!

In the list of the boss's aggro, the aggro for Messick was increasing, extremely rapidly. In just a few seconds, it had already exceeded Felice's! So it would only be a matter of time before Messick would capture the aggro of the boss over from Zhang Yang, and become the main tanker in the battle!

Well, it was impossible to understate, or downplay the power of {Foul Chatters}. Zhang Yang could not help but think that only Messick has the power to sway bosses over to him by the word of mouth! The one and only!

TL Notes:

1. Looney Toons: a bunch of people that only jokes around and do nothing contributing.

Chapter 478: The Unkillable Cockroach

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Streams of lightning rained down upon Zhang Yang as high damage values, ranging between 11,000 points and 12,000 points were inflicted upon him, one after another. After just a brief period of time, Zhang Yang was already forced to activate his {Berserker's Heal} and {Shield Wall} to keep himself alive for a little longer, followed by the activation of his {Last Vigor} and {Blood of Life}. While he was at it, he also consumed [Potions] every time the global cool down period for using [Potions] was over.

Meanwhile, the aggro value on Messick was increasing drastically. Zhang Yang was now certain that he would not even have to activate his {Shadow of the Void} to disengage from the battle. All he had to do now was to stop attacking for a moment, and Messick would definitely gain the aggro of the boss!

"That's right, b*tch! Your tits are fake, I know! And that's not it! The doctor who did that was crappy. He actually made them lopsided, look at that! One's like a huge melon, the other is a wrinkled-up raisin! Haha!" Messick was blabbering out more nonsense with his mouth, trying his very best to provoke the Duchess, "Hey, don't look at me like that! I'm just being honest. Hey, let's not forget that I was your tailor. So, which part of your body haven't I touched?"

Zhang Yang frowned, sweat dripping down his brow. This wretched fellow was good. The best of the best in his art!

The Duchess was enraged to the point that her chest was about to explode. Without any hesitation, she left Zhang Yang alone and started to point her staff at Messick. Bam! She gave Messick a {Radiant Punishment} to release her anger.

'-15,973!'

Messick did not have any damage absorption abilities like Zhang Yang had. So, he had no choice but to take on the full damage of the {Radiant Punishment}.

"Wow! You really are a b*tch after all! So mean and ferocious! You should get yourself abducted by bandits and get banging together all night long! That should be plenty of fun for them, and you!" Messick continued spouting out more nonsense, even as the boss mercilessly bombarded him.

It was a certainty now, that this fellow really had a foul mouth!

Zhang Yang had also activated his {Shadow of the Void} to disengage from the battle. At a safe cover, he started to consume the [Snacks] that he had prepared to replenish himself. Although the aggro value of the boss on Messick was already a lot higher than the aggro value on Zhang Yang, he was still dangerously close to the boss. If the boss ever decides to activate her {Light of the Stars} all of a sudden, then Zhang Yang would be as good as dead!

After a brief moment, Zhang Yang had recovered his HP back to its full state. He let out a battle cry and charged back to the boss. Zhang Yang flung a {Spear of Obliteration} at the boss, and clashed into the boss with {Charge} at the same instant.

"You low-life traitors!" the Duchess screamed through her teeth. Although her face had not yet been touched by Zhang Yang, but the color of her face was changing rapidly! Obviously, Messick's {Foul Chattering} was driving her crazy!

Voom!

A translucent barrier appeared around the Duchess all of a sudden, shielding her from harm. At the same time, a progress bar appeared right above her head, as she began to chant.

{Light of the Stars}!

"Felice! Attack her! Quickly!" Zhang Yang cried out in panic. This skill could inflict damage to all targets within the area of 100-meter radius, and the damage of this skill went up to 100,000 Holy Damage! Although Zhang Yang would not be instantly-killed because of his high amount of damage absorption, that skill would definitely put him close to death!

Furthermore, the cooldown of the skill was really short! Even Zhang Yang and Felice would be killed if the Duchess activates {Light of the Stars} again!

Based on the description of the skill, the {Light of the Stars} could be interrupted, provided that the {Magic Barrier} of the boss is destroyed!

Fortunately for Zhang Yang, the amount of damage this {Magic Barrier} absorbs would be based on the number of players present! Although there were 3 persons and a pet launching their assaults towards the boss at the moment, Zhang Yang was the only player around! So, the {Magic Barrier} could only absorb a total of 10,000 points of damage!

However, all skills shared a global cooldown period, and Magic Skills required cast times. A mere 2 seconds was what they had to destroy the {Magic Barrier}. If they could not get their skills ready at the right moment, it would be all over!

Felice charged at the boss down from the sky. Although her {Fire Missile} could have destroyed the boss's {Magic Barrier} in a single hit, but she too required 2 seconds to cast the spell. Furthermore, the {Fire Missile} was a ranged attack. It would require more time to travel through the air! By the time the {Fire Missile} strikes the boss, it would already have taken about 2.2 seconds to 2.5 seconds!

So, she immediately transformed into her Human Form and raised her lance straight at the boss, and stabbed forward!

'-7,825!'

'-16,175!'

A {Spear of Blazing Dragon}, followed by a normal attack managed to destroy the {Magic Barrier}, while also inflicting a damage of 24,000 points!

As the barrier was now down, Zhang Yang quickly raised his shield up and smashed it into the boss. Activating {Crash Magic}!

Pak!

Right before the progress bar was about to complete, the Duchess was interrupted. She let out a scream of frustration and raised her staff up again. A stream of lightning flew at the head of Messick.

Messick was zapped to the point that he was screaming in weird, falsettos and acciaccaturas, but his vulgar tongue forever remained in his mouth. He continued to provoke the Duchess by criticizing her body, her face, and her temper. With his tongue alone, he had made the Duchess sound like a tasteless, ugly b*tch. The Duchess was so furious that her blood veins were about to pop!

No wonder Zhuge Liang1 could really mess Zhou Yu2 up with his so-called 'wisdom'. Zhang Yang could not help but to feel a chill down his spine as he listened to Messick's foul words! Still to deal with the killer of your parents in such a light-hearted manner was already an act of mercy!

After a brief moment, the Duchess shielded herself with another {Magic Barrier} again, and started to chant the spell for the {Light of the Stars}.

This time however, she had picked the wrong time to do so. Even before her {Magic Barrier} was erected, Felice was already launching a {Fire Missile} at the boss! The barrier was almost immediately destroyed half a second later! Zhang Yang laughed out loud as he continued to gave the boss a {Crash Magic} and interrupted the boss's chanting progress.

So there were benefits in having lesser people in a boss battle, after all. If hundreds of players were to battle this boss at the same time, even if they had the necessary DPS to carry their weight (Each additional players increases the amount of damage that the {Magic Barrier} can absorb by 10,000 points, and the chanting of the spell must be interrupted within 2 seconds, so each player would have to have a DpS of about 5,000 damage.), the limited space would make it impossible for them to efficiently dish out that amount all the time. They were free gifts for the boss.

If the {Magic Barrier} could not be destroyed in time, the {Light of the Stars} would rain hell upon the players, doing 100,000 Holy Damage. So, other than an insanely powerful tanker like Zhang Yang, who has an insanely powerful set of equipment, with an insanely long HP bar, and a 20% passive damage absorption, other players would never survive this without activating their life-saving skills!

"Guards! Guards!" The Duchess was having trouble taking down Zhang Yang, and it was starting to annoy her, and she had been listening the foul words coming out from the foul mouth of Messick the whole while! Of course, she was already at the verge of losing herself to her own anger! In frustration, she began shouting for reinforcements.

Zhang Yang was shocked for a moment, as he had not expected the boss to call for back up! If the boss really summons a few elite monsters like the Palace Guards at a crucial time like this, then victory would seem unlikely! Yet, this had not been mentioned in her description!

After waiting for awhile with bated breath, there were no signs of any new monsters coming in. Zhang Yang let out a breath of relief. Apparently, the boss was just rambling in fury.

Although there were not many people in the boss battle, the damage output of Zhang Yang and Felice was more than sufficient. Felice's DPS had exceeded 10,000 damage, putting every single player in the world to shame! Although the HP of the Duchess was massive, it was still being drained at a rapid pace!

However, the assaults of the boss were not weak at all. Messick was forced to activate his {Light of Life} repeatedly just to stay alive! But, he could only hold on for another 6 minutes before he runs out of MP to activate his life-saving skill. Now, he could only stare at his own HP reducing down rapidly!

At the same time, the boss was still left with about 2,500,000 HP!

"Brother, promise me that you will kill this b*tch, and avenge my parents for me!" Messick turned his head towards Zhang Yang and revealed the sad, resolute expression of a warrior about to meet his end.

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "You can go peacefully now. I will avenge you and your parents!"

"%#!@%$!" Zhang Yang could only see the mouth of Messick moving rapidly, as his voice was muted. As for the words were coming out from his mouth, Zhang Yang could actually guess them. Those words were not decent words, not even close! Zhang Yang managed to lip read stuff like 'your mum' and 'c*nt'!

Without the {Light of Life} supporting him, the HP bar of Messick was traveling down a one-way track. In just a brief moment, his HP had been reduced from 500,000 points, down to only 300,000 points, and then further down to 100,000 points. By the end of it, his HP bar was emptied out, and he finally collapsed onto the ground and died. It was a valiant effort. He had actually tanked against the boss for close to seven minutes! It was something that not even Zhang Yang could do!

"Haha! Now, it's your turn!" the Duchess turned towards Zhang Yang and Felice, and she began to charge towards Zhang Yang. She started to bombard Zhang Yang aggressively. All this while, Zhang Yang was trying to hook the aggro of the boss as well as he could, and Felice had been holding back to make his job easier. So, currently on the aggro list, Zhang Yang had managed to get a little more aggro value than Felice could.

But, the boss was left with about 1,000,000 HP at the moment. All the skills Zhang Yang had were on standby. Victory was now a certainty!

He quickly gulped down his [Power Potion] and activated his {Chaotic Dance of Electric Current}!

Without the need to hold back anymore, Zhang Yang began to unleash all of his potential.

The HP of the boss began to drop even more rapidly, starting from 1,000,000 HP, down to 800,000 HP, then further down to 500,000 HP! The Duchess was getting angrier and angrier by the second. She shouted and screamed repeatedly as the rate of her activating the {Magic Barrier} and the {Light of the Stars} grew in frequency! Although there was no indication, or description saying that the boss would go into a Berserk Mode, she was definitely acting like it now! Her {Magic Shield} would be activated once every 10 seconds! Each time however, she was quickly interrupted!

The {Crash Magic} of Zhang Yang had a cool down period of 10 seconds. Soon, it would no longer keep up with the constantly increasing rate of the {Light of the Stars}, so Zhang Yang would no longer be able to interrupt the boss with this skill!

The boss was still left with about 230,000 HP at the current situation. Suddenly, she began to chant another fresh round of {Light of the Stars}! But, Zhang Yang had just only interrupted her 5 seconds ago! So, he could only stare at the boss as she continued chanting!

{Dragon Lance of War}!

Felice flew right towards the boss at a high speed, lance-first! Not only did she damage the boss tremendously, she had also stunned the Duchess for 2 seconds long!

The {Light of the Stars} was interrupted once again!

"Nicely done!" Zhang Yang praised Felice and took the opportunity to channel as much damage as possible onto the boss.

2 seconds had passed and the Duchess had recovered from the stun effect. She once again began to chant the spell for the {Light of the Stars}. She seemed to go all out, as she knew that she was about to die! Going out with a bang, perhaps?

Zhang Yang had also activated his {Sacrifice} and {Shield Wall}. He started the final sprint to the finish!

Pak!

The boss had finally succeeded in chanting the spell for the {Light of the Stars}! Instantly, the entire secret chamber was lit up with the beaming stars all around. It was like countless lasers shooting across the area!

'-37,772!'

'-10,000!'

Both Zhang Yang and Felice suffered heavy damage. That was the final chance for the boss!

150,000! 100,000!, 50,000!

"Argh --" the Duchess finally let out a miserable scream as her graceful body slid to the ground slowly. Her body fell right on top of Messick's dead body, and she dropped a bunch of loot.

It was not easy at all! Battling a Magic type boss was really tiring! If it weren't for Messick, the super strong human shield and his {Foul Chatters}, Zhang Yang would not have been able to take down the boss by himself! He would not even know how to battle the boss in the first place!

The Duchess had dropped one piece of Violet-Platinum equipment and two pieces of Yellow-Gold equipment. Other than that, there was a shiny, silver key. This key was initially hung around her neck. Felice had spotted it with her sharp eyes and had held it up to Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang was very sure that this key would unlock the dark-red chest that he had found earlier on! He patted Felice on the head and praised her.

Zhang Yang kept the two Yellow-Gold equipment in his inventory without even taking a look at their attributes. Then, he moved his hands toward the Violet-Platinum shield that radiated in a purplish light.

[Mark of the Winst] (Violet-Platinum, Shield)

Defense: 2,016

Vitality: 1,411

Equip: Absorbs 688 damage when being hit.

Equip: Increases Maximum HP by 5,600 points.

{Unidentified}

Required Level: 120

This shield was truly worthy of being a Violet-Platinum Tier equipment. To compare with Zhang Yang's current shield, his [Titan Wall] only adds an additional 1,344 vitality points, after identification! After all, the levels of the two equipment had a 50% difference, so their attributes would also have a 50% difference!

However, when Zhang Yang reaches Level 120, he would already be focusing on Mythical Tier equipment! Although this shield seemed promising, but players would only get to equip it when they reach Level 120. As it was not really that practical to use, Zhang Yang decided to put it up for sale. No matter what, a Violet-Platinum Tier equipment should be worth at least a couple of millions, and the money would cover some of his own expenses.

Just as he was about to use the key on the lock of the Treasure Chest, the dead body of the boss suddenly twitched! It was an unexpected twist of events!

Zhang Yang was so terrified that he had let out a very high pitched scream! How could the dead body of the boss still move after dropping the loot! Is she zombified or what?

Then, a hand came right up from beneath the dead body and pushed the dead body of the Duchess aside. It was Messick! He crawled right back on his feet and started to whine as usual, "Pui! Pui! Pui! This stinky b*tch really goes heavy on the perfume! I was about to suffocate!"

... holy sh*t, this fellow really is an unkillable cockroach!

Zhang Yang walked up to him, pulled out his sword and jabbed it into Messick's butt.

"Argh --" Messick grabbed on his butt as he screamed in pain and jumped. Then, he tightened his teeth and stared at Zhang Yang, "What was that about!?"

"I couldn't tell if you were a person or a ghost!" Zhang Yang teased.

Messick: "..."

"How can you be not dead?" Zhang Yang was very curious, as he witnessed Messick being struck to the ground with his own eyes.

"What the f*ck! Were you really wishing for my death that badly?" Messick rolled his eyes at Zhang Yang.

Playing dead?

Zhang Yang could not help but frowned. There had been no mention of this 'playing dead' skill, not in the description of the NPC, and not in the skill lists as well. Well, whatever, he's alive and well now! Zhang Yang walked up to the Treasure Chest, and he bent down to unlock the chest.

After using the key on the lock, the lock fell off. Zhang Yang reached out and opened up the chest. The next thing Zhang Yang saw was beautiful, bright light, shining out of the chest.

There was a pale-yellowish necklace that looked ancient, a piece of bronze armor plating, a yellow-gold scale, a piece of green jade-like [Order, and a scroll.

"Treasure!" Messick immediately regained his bubbly demeanor. He charged up to the chest and tried to snatch it from Zhang Yang!

Zhang Yang furiously kicked him aside, "Everything outside this Treasure Chest is yours, I only want these few pieces!"

"Pui! Those are all junk! How can you compare them to these fine babes here! Don't mistake me as a tasteless hillbilly!" Messick cupped his hands over his butt as he charged back at the Treasure Chest.

This time, Felice ran up and blocked his path. With her lance pointed between his eyes, she stared at Messick coldly and said, "Don't get any funny ideas!".

"Hehe, aren't we 'brothers-in-arms'? I say you, my brother. People say that there are three things that determine the 'brotherhood' of men! One, to battle side by side with each other! Second, drinking booze and the third, picking up women together! We may have not yet fulfilled the latter two, but we have definitely fought side by side, together! I don't mind having a toast with you at the bar and introducing you to some women later! So, don't you pretend like nothing ever happened between us..."

And the NPC went on with his own 'speech'.

Zhang Yang shook his head as he commanded Felice to block that annoying NPC from touching the chest. Now, Zhang Yang could finally pick at the chest in peace.

Chapter 479: The Forbidden Scroll

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The ancient-looking pale-yellowish necklace and the bronze armor plate were both Violet-Platinum Tier. Unfortunately, although both of these equipment were powerful, players could only equip them when they reach Level 120! By Level 110, Zhang Yang would no longer be looking for Violet-Platinums. He would be hunting for Mythical Tiered equipment. These Level 120 Violet-Platinum equipment would be mere decorations by then.

Still, they would fetch a great price! If Zhang Yang sells them, they would definitely capture the eyes of a large number of buyers, and earn Zhang Yang a lot of money! They were still good loot, no matter what.

The single piece of yellow-gold scale was not an equipment, but instead, it was a material.

[Golden Dragon Scale] (Material)

Description: A piece of scale that fell from the body of the Golden Dragon. Even though the scale has fallen off the dragon, you can still feel the terrifying power that surges through the scale! If you collect a few more pieces of these [Golden Dragon Scales] and locate a fine Grandmaster, then you can create a very powerful equipment!

A dragon scale? This is an awesome find!

According to Zhang Yang's knowledge, special equipment such as the [Colorful Dragon Scale Armor] and the [Dragon Scale Shield] can only be forged with the highest quality of [Recipes]. Not only would [Recipes] be required, all sorts of other specific materials were required to forge these special equipment. For instance, all sorts of [Dragon Scale] were required in order to forge Holy Tier equipment!

It was like winning a lottery!

Zhang Yang put the [Golden Dragon Scale] into his inventory as quickly as he was able to. Although one piece of [Dragon Scale] was not enough to forge anything, but without starting at 1%, there will never be a 100%! So, it's a good start!

The following items that Zhang Yang at was the scroll.

Before he could even take it up to examine, Zhang Yang already saw that the scroll was shrouded in an evil presence. It was visibly covering the scroll. Skulls floated amongst the shroud, moaning and groaning!

Is this a [Forbidden Scroll]?

Zhang Yang was shocked and excited at the same time. A [Forbidden Scroll] is also a type of the [Magic Scroll]. But, because of its terrifying power which could bring unimaginable destruction , it is 'Forbidden'! In his previous life, as Zhang Yang had started the game too late, he had only managed to hear about a number of extremely rare and powerful items, without having any of them in his hands. He had no idea how much power they had, exactly.

So, how powerful is a [Forbidden Scroll]?

There was once a world war between the China region and the Japan-Korea region in Zhang Yang's previous life. The China region had recruited over 300 million players, and they managed to crush the stronghold at their Gateway Territory, charging straight into the main cities of the Japan-Korea region! They took down a total of 5 main cities within 3 days!

However, the Japan-Korea region attempted to cut off the Chinese supply routes instead, as they sent out an army directly towards the Gateway Territory of the China region. It was a good move. When the enemy is too strong to take on, then, attack something important to the enemy! So, they launched an army of their own towards the stronghold at the Gateway Territory of the China region, in order to drive the army of the China region back to save their own Gateway Territory! But, Crimson Rage that was in charge in the defense of the Gateway Territory did not even flinch as they faced the massive army. Instead, Snow Seeker only tore off one scroll, just one! It was the scroll of [Heaven's Fall]!

Lo and behold, and heaven truly fell upon the enemy!

At that moment, the ground shook and cracked, the mountains split and scattered! Volcanic lava spewed out from the cracks in the ground! Other than the Territory, everything within the range of 10 Kilometers was demolished!

The Korean-Japan army was immediately wiped out! Only hundreds of them survived the effects of [Heaven's Fall]!

Another example, also from Zhang Yang's previous life, was when the Imperial Sky battled a Super Boss - Crystal Dragon Cassiudoss, in the Lost Land! Anyone who had ever fought the boss would understand that this Crystal Dragon Cassiudoss was like a BUG in the game! Not only was the HP bar of the boss too long, the boss also had ridiculous AoE attacks. Any player would just die when the boss started bombarding the area with waves of extremely powerful AoE attacks. There was no way of even getting close to it!

Imperial Sky had used a total of three [Forbidden Scroll: Light of Divinity] during that boss battle -- providing all players within the effective area of the scroll with 80% damage immunity effects, and also a substantial amount of HP recovery. So, they survived the ridiculous assaults from the boss and finally slew the Crystal Dragon Cassiudoss, claiming the title of First Clear for the boss stage!

Of course, those [Forbidden Scroll: Light of Divinity] were very hard to come by in the first place. There was no fixed rate of the scroll dropping. One [Forbidden Scroll: Light of Divinity] was already like a winning lottery ticket! One [Forbidden Scroll: Light of Divinity] could reach up to tens of millions of gold coins! If this item ever appeared in the Auction House, only the large-scale guilds could afford to bid for it!

Zhang Yang was so excited to see the scroll that he hurriedly unfurled it. While he was at it, the shroud of dark energy aura started surging even more violently as he unrolled more of it. It was getting stronger by the moment, as if the dark energy was gushing out from the scroll!

[Forbidden Scroll: Scourging Doomsday] (Consumable)

Use: With the user as the central point, all targets within the effective area of 5 Kilometers radius will be punished with the Judgement of Doomsday. All targets will lose 10% of their HP per second. The maximum HP that the targets lose cannot exceed 100,000 damage. Lasts for 30 seconds.

Required Level: 100

What the hell! So powerful!

The effective range was 5 Kilometers wide! That was a little too much! No wonder Crimson Rage could wipe out the entire army of the Japan-Korea region with [Heaven's Fall] in his previous life! So one, [Forbidden Scroll] already has this much power! Reducing 10% of the targets' HP in every second? It would actually be even more effective if the enemies are stronger! Although it was limited to only a maximum of 100,000 damage every second, that was still a total of 3,000,000 HP being reduced within a duration of 30 seconds! Let's not forget the area this effect would take place! 5 Kilometers wide! Who could outrun that?

Zhang Yang put the [Forbidden Scroll: Scourging Doomsday] into his inventory without any hesitation. This is actually a weapon of mass destruction! It's a nuke in a world of magical cannons! No one would even dare to mess with you, if they ever find out that you have such an insanely powerful weapon in your hands!

"Hey, brother. You can't just take everything!" Messick was looking forlornly at Zhang Yang, as if his parents had just died -- well, his parents did die. He begged, "I also helped you a lot. I even told you everything about this place!"

Zhang Yang laughed out loud and said, "Let's put it this way. When I become the new Baron of this town, I shall give you a high ranking!"

Messick rolled his eyes at Zhang Yang and he said, "Although this stinky b*tch has died, do you really think that it's that easy for you to become the next Baron?"

Without saying a word, Zhang Yang took out the final piece of green jade-like [Order] that was the last item the chest, tapped on it gently and said, "Everything will be different, with this!"

'Region Announcement: A Territory without a Baron has appeared in the Chaos Realm. The 'Territory Conquest' will commence in 72 hours. All players, please be ready for it! The Territory is located at the Gulattoo Iceland, the specific location will be announced when the 'Territory Conquest' begin! The 'Territory Conquest' will last for 3 hours long. When the battle is over, the last player with the [Territory Command Order] will become the new Baron of the Territory!'

So this green jade-like [Order] was actually a [Territory Command Order]. Zhang Yang had used it immediately upon picking it up.

"Huh? A [Territory Command Order]!" Messick was staring at Zhang Yang with bulging eyes, "You actually got a [Territory Command Order]? How lucky are you!"

With the Region Announcements appearing on the region, Zhang Yang received multiple private messages from Snow Seeker and his other alliances and friends. It was a real shock for them that Zhang Yang could actually take down two Territories within 4 days! More importantly, Zhang Yang was all alone in the Chaos Realm! So he must have slain the bosses and conquered the Territory all by himself.

Zhang Yang decided to let Messick remain within the castle. After Fatty Han and the other gang members reach Level 100, he would come back with them to 'take care' of him! This NPC had super high HP, and he could also recover his own HP. He also had {Foul Chatters} which did a great job at provoking enemies into attacking him! So, this NPC was definitely a very suitable 'candidate' for a secondary tanking role. This was why Zhang Yang had decided to keep him as a Battle Companion.

Zhang Yang was only uncertain if Messick would still have such an amount of HP after he becomes a Battle Companion.

So, upon the activation of the second piece of [Territory Command Order] in hand, all Zhang Yang would have to do right now is to wait for the 72 hours to pass, before he can claim this Territory. Zhang Yang used a [Teleportation Scroll] and traveled back to Morning Town, and he was finally ready to look for the quest that would lead him to the [God of War Inheritance]. Not long after he left the ground with the Serpent, he saw a large dragon flying towards him at a high speed. In just an instant, the dragon had arrived right before Zhang Yang.

It was a blue dragon. Its body was hundreds of meters long. A man in shining armor, with a long lance in his arm, sat on its back.

[White Jade Dragon Knight] (Elite, Humanoid Creature)

Level: ???

HP: ???

Defense: ???

Attack: ???

Skills: ???

Note: The elite force of White Jade Kingdom, representing its strength!

"Zhan Yu! Under the command of her majesty Queen Serena, I hereby summon you back to the main palace of the city. The Queen would like to have a few words with you!" The Dragon Knight patted the dragon and stopped in front of Zhang Yang as he declared those words.

... is this another main quest for him?

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "I shall return immediately to see her majesty, Queen Serena."

"Godspeed!" The Dragon Knight let out a roar, patted the dragon, and headed back in a hurry. As the dragon flapped its wings, in just a blink of an eye, the Knight and the dragon were already hundreds meters away from Zhang Yang. The dragon was far faster than the Serpent!

Zhang Yang grew envious of the Knight, and immediately started thinking of getting a new [Flying Mount]! A dragon, perhaps! But the question was, when would he be able to do that?

After landing on the ground, he took out his [Teleportation Scroll] and teleported back to White Jade Castle. After he arrived at White Jade City, Zhang Yang summoned the Serpent, and rode it towards the palace. As the Serpent flew across the sky, many people were caught off-guard, as the shadow looming past them was the last thing they would expect. Some of them started drooling as they imagined themselves flying on a serpent too.

After arriving at the entrance of the palace, Zhang Yang dismounted and reported himself to the two palace guards at the gate. Then, the guards escorted him straight into the main palace, and into the Royal Chamber of the Dawning Light. It belonged to the late King of the White Jade Kingdom, Derick. Now that Serena has stepped up, it was a given that this main palace belonged to her now!

The former princess now wore a grand and magnificent royal robe, which tightly wrapped around her slim, slender body. A crown sat on her head. The Ancient Godly Weapon, Meteor Sword hung by her waist. She looks extremely domineering and intimidating, being the true queen of the kingdom!

"My Queen." Zhang Yang started bowing.

"No need for that!" Serena stood up from her throne and said, "Zhan Yu, I wish to go to war, to expand the land of White Jade Kingdom and to share our prosperity. I am going to make significant achievements, unlike all the languishing kings and queens of the world! Would you aid me in such a quest?"

So, what is this new queen up to now?

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "I, Zhan Yu will share your worries and solve your problems, and my sword will always be by your side!"

"Very well!" Serena nodded and said, "I am promoting you to be the War General of this expedition. You shall conquer the world with me tomorrow! We shall first conquer the Black Dragon Kingdom, the Emerald Kingdom, Tranquil Wind Kingdom and the other remaining Kingdoms of the 7 main Kingdoms. After that, we shall march into the Chaos Realm and dominate the world. The heavenly glory of the Imperial Heaven's Empire shall flourish, once again!"

Zhang Yang felt a chill straight down his spine. In his previous life, all 8 Kingdoms had remained independent for as long as he could remember. There were never wars or expeditions among Kingdoms. But in this life, Queen Serena actually planned to start a war to combine the eight Kingdoms into one! This was a completely new turn of events!

"Go now, and rest. Tomorrow, we shall set out for war!"

After Zhang Yang left the palace, he quickly informed Han Ying Xue and the others about this. Everyone was confused and shocked to know about the war. So, when war sparks between two Kingdoms, what could players earn from being a part of the war, then?

The region answered their questions almost immediately.

'Region Announcement: White Jade Queen Serena has declared war against the Emerald Kingdom! The war will commence in 24 hours. All players can join the war and earn Merit Points by slaying players and NPCs. Merit Points can be used to exchange high quality equipment, potions, gemstones and scrolls. For more specific information, kindly go to the Special Merchant in the Main City Hall of War!'

Chapter 480: Declaring War over Emerald City

Translator:EndlessFantasy Translation

Editor:EndlessFantasy Translation

Right after the Server Announcement, every single player in the China region was feverish with excitement!

A war between two Kingdoms! The first war between two Kingdoms!

Many players traveled back to their main cities to take a look at what the Special Merchant had to offer, to see how much Merit Points would require for each of the equipment and items available. After taking a good look at the list, everyone was shocked to find that among the list, there were a few pieces of Level 100 Violet-Platinum equipment!

At the current stage of the game, players would already be respected and cheered on for having a full set of Yellow-Gold equipment. After all, the number of Violet-Platinum bosses appearing across the open world map was just too small. So Violet-Platinum equipment can only belong to those players at the top. Even rich players needed luck to get a Violet-Platinum equipment!

Now that they had a chance of obtaining Violet-Platinum equipment without the need to defeat a boss, of course everyone would be happy! They only needed to kill NPCs and players to stand a chance at obtaining Violet-Platinum equipment!

Although this war was limited only between White Jade Kingdom and Emerald Kingdom, the announcement did not state that players from other cities would not be able to join the war! Players from the other 6 cities could join the war tomorrow and choose their sides. However, they had to make their decision before the war begins, or they would lose the opportunity of joining the war. They would not be able to switch sides after that, until the end of the war.

Of course, the players from White Jade Castle and Emerald City could not pick sides. They would have to fight for their own main cities.

"Noob tank, the NPC here does have some good stuff for sale!" Wei Yan Er suddenly screamed in joy and posted a link to one of the items on sale.

[Dual Bladed Axe of the Grand Marshal] (Violet-Platinum, Two-handed Axe)

Attack: 4,242 - 5,242

Attack Interval: 3.8 seconds

DpS: 1,248

{Level 3 Socket 1}

{Level 3 Socket 2}

Equip: Increases 10% damage.

Equip: When you hit a target, there is a rate of 1% at inflicting 300% damage.

Equip: Increases 2% Critical Rate.

Required Level: 100

The DPS, the attacks and the additional effects of this two-handed axe was the pinnacle of the Violet-Platinum Tier! It could only be surpassed by a Mythical Tier or Ethereal Tier!

Zhang Yang could not help but to laugh, then he said, "So, how much Merit Points does this axe cost?"

"40,000 points!"

Zhang Yang gave it some thought and said, "Then, I suppose that it's not going to be easy to earn Merit Points, or else the axe would have cost more than that!"

Fatty Han, Endless Starlight and the other gang members joined in on the discussion. At the same time, Zhang Yang had also started sharing some information on the Chaos Realm. When Zhang Yang mentioned Messick the whiner, Fatty Han and Endless Starlight seemed to show a lot of interest in him. They both made up their minds that the first thing they would do in the Chaos Realm would be to meet up with this Messick. They believed that they would be able to bring Messick down to his knees by intimidating him! Or, they could use their hardcore attitudes on Messick, and the man would surely raise his ass up for them!

Naturally, the vulgar words from the mouths of these two wretched men had provoked the ladies, and they were scolded by the ladies like hell.

As the war was just upon them, all players from all eight main cities were preparing themselves. Equipment, check! Weapon, check! Potions, check! They were checking to see that everything was in place to make sure that they could perform at their best in the coming war. As the official notes had stated very clearly, players killed during the war would not be given any form of penalties, nor will they lose Experience Points upon deaths of their avatar in the game. Players will not even drop equipment upon death as well! The only penalty they would get is the reduction of their equipment's durability, by 10%.

That did not matter to them at all. Who would still keep count on the repair costs when they could just earn Merit Points for better equipment without the need of spending a dime at all, and now that they were basically 'immune' to all penalties of dying, who would not push themselves to their full potential, in order to earn some fine equipment for themselves?

However, Zhang Yang could only shake his head again and again as he could see through the real 'agenda' behind this big event. The game developer would never devalue the high Tier equipment, so it will surely be extremely difficult for players to earn the Merit Points! So, it would seem that a lot of players would have to pay the system to repair their equipment when the war begins, and the developers are only going to earn another round of fortune! Most players would only earn enough Merit Points to exchange some fine quality [Potions].

After reaching Level 100, players would no longer get benefits from the merchants! For instants, the Level 4 [Gemstones] were not available for sale. Players would be required to battle monsters and bosses in order to obtain them. The Level 4 [Mana Potion] and Level 4 [Healing Potion] were also unavailable in Potion Shops, players could only obtain them via Alchemy.

However, the Recipes for the [Level 4 Mana Potion] and [Level 4 Healing Potion] were extremely rare to come by, and even Zhang Yang had spent a lot of effort on getting his hands on these two Recipes. Currently, most players with the Alchemy Profession could only make Level 3 [Mana Potions] and [Healing Potions, at best. So, the market had increased the prices for the [Level 4 Mana Potion] and [Level 4 Healing Potion] by up to 100 gold coins for a bottle! Even though they definitely overpriced, the demand simply overshadowed all other concerns!

For that, players started going crazy when they discovered that the 'Merit Point Dealer' for the upcoming war event had these Potions on 'sale'. The Merit Points required in order to exchange potions were not high. Each [Level 4 Gemstone] only cost 2,000 Merit Points, while [Level 4 Mana Potion] and [Level 4 Healing Potion] only cost 200 Merit Points.

Unfortunately, all the items and equipment that players earn from this event would be bound to the players. The developers have made it so to prevent players from selling their spoils for money.

24 hours had passed in just a few blinks of an eye, and a Temporary Teleportation Door appeared in the middle of the central square of White Jade Castle. Players would be transported to the outer skirts of Emerald City's Tama Fortress. This Tama Fortress was basically the counterpart of White Jade's own Tukula, which was the fortress that was once conquered by the demons. It was then released from the grasp of the demons after the Level 50 Expedition.

When the time was up, the Temporary Teleportation Door was activated. Players were teleported over to a location, about 1,000 meters away from Tama Fortress, one after another.

Right behind the players was the massive army of White Jade Kingdom. The troops were lined up in neat formations, complete with military columns and square formations. Each formation consisted of tens of thousands of soldiers. There were a total of 500 square formations! The scene was spectacular!

At the other end of the battlefield, the players of the Emerald City were also on standby, stationed atop the walls of their fort. The players from the opposing sides met each others' gazes in a tense silence. As this event presented great opportunities to the players, almost all players from all 8 main cities had joined the war. The battlefield had been occupied by players from all 8 main cities!

The number of 'supporters' for both the White Jade Kingdom and the Emerald Kingdom remained unknown for the moment, as the system did not state the numerical statistics of it for players to refer to.

As they stood in silence, Queen Serena finally arrived through the Temporary Teleportation Door on a white battle horse. Right behind her were a platoon of elite guards, with nothing to indicate their Levels. Right above her was a platoon of Dragon Knights! Her honor guards simply looked intimidating! Meanwhile, other than the players who were standing atop Tama Fortress, mere 1,000 NPC soldiers stood with them. It was obvious that the defenses of Tama Fortress were greatly outnumbered by the assault force of White Jade Kingdom!

The new Queen then raised her [Meteor Sword] and let out a battle cry, "Warriors of White Jade Kingdom, the time to write your legacy is now, or never!"

'Ding! The war between 'White Jade Kingdom' and 'Emerald Kingdom' has begun! You will earn 1 'Merit Point' for each enemy player you kill. You will earn 1 'Merit Point' for each normal Tiered NPC soldier you kill. You will earn more 'Merit Points' by killing a general! The war will end when the Monarch of either side dies!'

'Ding! If you die in the battle, you must wait for 30 minutes before you can revive (Excluding the effects of special skills). Each player can only resurrect 3 times at most. Players will be spawned at their corresponding main cities if they die for the fourth time.'

'Ding! After the war is over, the player with the most Merit Points will be awarded the title of 'Imperial Aggrandizer' (Correspondent to White Jade Kingdom) or 'Imperial Aegis' (Correspondent to Emerald Kingdom).'

All players from both sides received the notification from the system.

After a brief moment of silence, the players on the side of the White Jade Kingdom let out a heaven-shaking, thunderous roar as they began to charge towards the direction of Tama Fortress!

At the same instant, Zhang Yang suddenly received another notification from the system.

'Ding! You have been appointed by Queen Serena as the War General of this expedition. You will earn 1% worth of Merit Points from all kills on opposition players and NPCs who are killed by the NPCs of White Jade Kingdom.'

Zhang Yang was pleasantly surprised at the sudden 'gift' from the system!

Although 1% was a small number, there were about 5 million of NPCs in this war! If each of the NPCs managed to kill one player or one NPC of the opposition, then Zhang Yang would earn 50,000 Merit Points by simply standing at one corner!

Zhang Yang felt like crying tears of gratitude, there and then, as he had finally experienced the advantage of the 'affection' that Queen Serena had for him, for the first time!

Meanwhile, the NPC army of White Jade Kingdom marched towards the wall of Tama Fortress. The massive army still maintained their formation as they marched forward. Looking at the crowd of people, Zhang Yang felt tempted to take the [Forbidden Scroll] out from his inventory and use it on the enemy.

The scene was really spectacular and breathtaking!

"Zhan Yu --" One Sword Stroke approached Zhang Yang atop his mount, he did not intend to join into the battle so soon. He went up to Zhang Yang and smiled, "Well, it's really rare to see you, without having the need to battle!"

Right beside One Sword Stroke was a young beautiful lady on a black panther, having an ID name that matched quite well with the ID name of One Sword Stroke. Her name was 'One Sword Smile', and she was only Level 56 at the moment.

Zhang Yang tensed up the moment after he recognized the lady, she looked just like someone he knew -- Luo Xin Yan! It was so obvious, and it made sense as well! However, Zhang Yang only looked at Luo Xin Yan for a brief moment, before he turned his eyes back at One Sword Stroke saying, "Looks like we can't afford to battle each other today!"

Imperial Sky and Lone Desert Smoke have been competing against each other in every battle and every event. Meanwhile, the Silky Soft Battle Team and the Sky and Ocean Electronics Battle Team were and forever would be a nemesis for the S-rank Professional League Championship! So Zhang Yang and One Sword Stroke have always been enemies. But now that Imperial Sky have chosen to support White Jade Kingdom, they could not afford to battle each other at a crucial event like this.

One Sword Stroke smiled and pointed at Luo Xin Yan, "Allow me to introduce to you, my girlfriend!"

"Don't you dare say that you know me!" right before Zhang Yang could even react and talk, he had already received a private message from Luo Xin Yan. He was a little shocked, but after putting some thoughts in it, he understood. Luo Xin Yan had not yet revealed it all to One Sword Stroke. After all, knowing that she had been a corporate spy would really make people uncomfortable. If One Sword Stroke ever finds out that she had once been a spy, and was possibly 'spy'ing on him, even now, then everything that Luo Xin Yan has done would be reduced to 'dust'.

Zhang Yang smiled vaguely without a word.

Although the relationship between Lone Desert Smoke and the Imperial Sky had improved a little after the event of Liu Wei betraying and leaving Imperial Sky, they could not be called allies just yet. Zhang Yang did not particularly like One Sword Stroke either, so professional courtesy would only bring him to acknowledge the other man this much.

Snow Seeker, Greensleeves Prince and the other guildmasters of larger guilds walked up to Zhang Yang right after that. After they greeted each other with some small talks, suddenly, One Sword Stroke came up with an idea, "Why don't we compete and see who gets the title of the 'Imperial Aggrandizer'!"

With him voicing that out, Greensleeves Prince, Sword of Light and the others agreed to compete against each other to see who would be the winner. Well, everyone should have a little competition for being the best, at least!

Zhang Yang shook his head and said, "I will not be joining this time!" He had an additional method of earning Merit Points, so it was extremely easy for him to 'win'. If he joined in this little competition, it would be as good as cheating.

However, as Luo Xin Yan was still eager to take revenge on Zhang Yang for humiliating her back in the day, she spoke in a cold tone, "So, even the mighty and powerful Zhan Yu would get cold feet sometimes, I assume?"

One Sword Stroke laughed out loud and said, "Brother Zhan Yu is definitely not afraid of us at all, he is probably too powerful to compete with us, the 'insignificant' ones! He probably doesn't want this to be one-sided!"

With those words, One Sword Stroke had turned Snow Seeker and the other guildmasters against him. Well, words are the most powerful weapon in the world, sometimes.

Zhang Yang could not help but sigh. He had not planned to join in, as it was already one-sided, and it would not be due to his individual prowess. Since One Sword Stroke had already placed his face so near for Zhang Yang to bash, why not just cooperate and bash it more than just once then? Zhang Yang could not let him down, as Zhang Yang was moved by his passion and sincerity!

"Alright. Since that everyone is in the mood, then I will not take the fun out of you guys! Let's compete, then!"

Chapter 482 The Siege

Translator:EndlessFantasy Translation

Editor:EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhang Yang summoned the flying serpent, much to the delight of Wei Yan Er and Han Ying Xue. Both of them insisted to ride along, something which he did not mind. The serpent had reached a point where it was strong enough to lift 3 to 5 players. However, in this mode of transportation, players who are riding along would not be able to participate in fights.

The flying serpent shot into the sky, taking Zhang Yang, Han Ying Xue, and Wei Yan Er to the front lines. The moment they reached, the little brat and Han Ying Xue summoned their own mounts and headed straight into enemy lines. With Han Ying Xue taking care of Wei Yan Er, Zhang Yang was left at ease. Together with Felice, they went back up to the skies. Why not make use of the First Flying Mount in the game? It would be a shame not to!

The battle was completely one-sided. White Jade Kingdom's army had almost 5,000,000 soldiers. including the almighty killing machine, Prince Serena. Escorting her was a group of elite dragon riders. The Kingdom's army was large, but the group of elite dragon riders were the most outstanding units. The Level-hidden elite tiers had the power that was equivalent to Mythical or an Ethereal tier monsters!

As for Prince Serena herself, when she was merely a Holy tier NPC she could already massacre a field full of players with her Sword of Life and Death. Now that she had already procured the Meteor Sword and gained the status of Ascended, how powerful could be she? Emerald Kingdom was no match to this level of power!

White Jade Kingdom's army pushed on hard, and had soon crossed the border's river. A single fortress stood to defend it, but it was nothing, compared to the devastating power of 5 million soldiers.

From the player's perspective, the war meant nothing but the opportunity to gather a few Merit Points. The outcome of the war would not cause much effect to their lifestyles. No changes would be made to the losing city, no permanent loss of power, much rather, they would all be under the same united banner. This was not even a civil war, where one side would be sure to suffer a penalty. Hence, players had no care about winning or losing. They only wanted to farm more Merit Points. Thus, the war was fought with no morale nor raging vigor. No vengeance, no greed, just a bunch of players participating in a huge event.

The enemy players were now fighting on the frontlines, halting the NPC soldiers. Against these tougher enemies, they were having trouble killing enemies and gaining more merit points. As a result, Zhang Yang's 'passive' income of merit points was also dropping. In this situation, Felice had rushed out, and blasted the earth with her {Pulverizing Flame}, sending a sea of flames across the ground.

Unlike NPC, players would never stand to fight till they fall, giving free kills and points to the enemy. They would withdraw from the front lines and recuperate in safety. It was these very players, who were on their way to the rear, critically low on HP, who were Felice's targets. Her attacks were precise. With {Pulverizing Flame} blasting down, dealing 3000 Fire damage a second to an area of 10 x 10 meters, many of those players were quickly finished off.

Many of them had 5,000 to 6,000 HP and the risky daredevils had even lesser, at 2,000 to 3,000 HP. One single blast of {Pulverizing Flame} was enough to wipe them all clean, earning him a large amount of Merit Points. Whenever Felice was done with her attack, Zhang Yang would immediately call her back and unsummoned her from the world. It was to hide her away from the other players who had taken notice the situation and were about to launch their attacks on Felice. Since her attack took 30 seconds to cool down, it was best to hide her away, even for a brief moment.

Princess Serena led her company of dragon riders and moved on towards the fortress. An ambitious guild, hoping for fame and glory, had ambushed Princess Serena in a pincer attack. However, Princess Serena did not even need to raise a finger. The 12 dragon riders had zoomed down to ground level and unleashed their dragon breath fire on all the players in the area. In less than half a minute, more than 10,000 players were dead.

It was a shame that the kills of the dragon knights did not garner him Merit points. If Princess Serena were to lift her finger, the earth would split in two; her Meteor Sword would obliterate all that is living in sight.

Just like that, the entire White Jade Kingdom's army marched on forward. The Emerald Kingdom's forces were forced to rapidly withdraw. With haste, the fortress was taken over easily. The invading forces marched on and took over the Level 40 maps, Level 30, Level 20, and eventually, the Castle of Emerald itself!

The NPC army had been left behind, marching in their fixed, rigid formation. The battle was now between the players of the two kingdoms, since the army's movement speed was slow. Players themselves had obtained a large number of Merit points. Zhang Yang naturally had obtained far more than anyone else, for his points had already surpassed 8,000! 2/3 of the points came from Felice alone. Her carpet bombing, and Zhang Yang's aerial capabilities gave them a solid edge over everyone else. They had constantly been targeting the retreating, weakened players.

Just as the raging players was about to invade the castle gates, a few spots on the castle wall glowed brightly. A beam of light flashed by and landed down like a heavy, particle beam cannon. When the blast subsided, the area was vaporized. Nothing in ground zero survived.

Without a doubt, it was a Magic Cannon! The strongest defense mechanism! Without a siege catapult, it would almost be impossible to directly deal with the super-powered cannons. Right now, there was no other way, but to rush in with sheer numbers.

Hundreds of blasts later, the players of White Jade Kingdom finally saw reason, returned to lick their wounds at the back of the marching army. If they are killed for more than three times, the fourth death would result in expulsion from the war.

"Argh crap! I died! Bloody cannons! Was I too outstanding? Too good looking for you!?" said Wei Yan Er, having been among those who were vaporized.

"I told you so. Don't always rush into things! You've gone from putting a load on me, to actually dragging me down with you!" Han Ying Xue sighed.

Zhang Yang chuckled to himself. With Han Ying Xue's healing capability, the only items that would really overwhelm her healing would be the instant-kill magic cannons.

"How many points has the little brat earned so far?'

"Nyehehe. I got more than 1,400 points!" said the little girl like a big smile on her tiny little face. "Oh crap! I'll need to wait for 30 minutes before I can revive! How much have you guys collected?"

"Woah. The little girl got 1,400?! I only have 800!" said Lost Dream.

"Hm. I have around 1,200." Said Hundred Shots.

Everyone reported their collected Merit points. Some were happy with their "scores" while some were lamenting over it. Technically, ranged attackers should be earning more than melee attackers. Ranged attackers could snipe at a fleeing target, afterall, or pick off a nearby enemy who is one hit from dying to the blows of another.

Ranged attackers also had many AoE skills at their disposal. The points system does not count the amount of damage that you deal, but the number of players who have died by your hands. For the valiant but inefficient, even if they deal a total of 10 million damage, that might not have even earned them 10,000 points! As the saying goes, the early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese!

By the end of it, only Zhang Yang and Endless Starlight had still remained silent. Fatty Han called out, "Hey! Starlight! How many points did you get?"

"…74…" said Endless Starlight sadly.

Everyone laughed, after Endless Starlight awkwardly revealed his score.

It was understandable, still. A tank would have trouble dealing damage in the first place, and if their opponents decided to run away, a tank could not do anything about it, besides waving them goodbye. Truthfully speaking, Endless Starlight had done a good job snagging 70 points.

"How about Zhang Yang?" Hundred Shots added.

Zhang Yang smirked. He did not want to reveal his total points, since it might actually cause them to feel despair. Vaguely, Zhang Yang said, "Only a few thousand points. More than you guys anyway."

"How many exactly?" said Han Ying Xue as she emphasized on the last word.

"…8,275!"

"What the—That's a lot!"

"You cheating noob tank! How did you manage to kill so many people? This young lady here has been running around like a mad dog! I even rushed into their ranks to swing about, and only managed to accumulated 1,400 points! Cheater!"

"Hm.., 8,000 points is indeed hard to believe. If the system had calculated by damage dealt, it would make sense for Zhang Yang to get 8,000 points. But by the number of players killed, 8,000 points is just too much to be true!" said Daffodil Daydream.

Zhang Yang laughed. None of them had Flying Mounts yet, so they would have no idea on how flying would make a whole difference in warfare. He could easily fly behind enemy lines and kill players before escaping. Since players can only attack targets within 30 meters, Zhang Yang would only need to fly 31 meters above them to stay safe!

As they were happily chatting, more hot-headed players had rushed to the castle. However, despite their reckless bravery, the magic cannon had blasted them off into oblivion.

The magic cannon power was just too strong. It was firing continuously, without any signs of overheating or running out of ammo.

Many players from the White Jade side were starting to worry. None of them had any idea on how to get past the massive firing range. Not even numbers can solve this problem! You can send in 5 million players, and all of them would be blasted to smithereens.

Just then, Princess Serena opened her mouth, but Zhang Yang was too far to hear anything. When she stopped talking, the 12 dragon riders behind her sortied. Like F22 fighter jets, the 12 dragons shot past the field. Even though there was only 12 of them, each dragon was at least a few hundred meters wide! When all 12 of them formed a V-shaped formation, they could easily eclipse the sun and cover the entire earth in darkness.

The dragons reached the castle within 4 flaps of their gigantic wings. 12 dragons spew raging hot fire on the castle walls, which immediately caved in. The flames had obliterated the cannons, along with their operators.

Boom! Boom!

The remaining cannons immediately retaliated. The magic cannons turned upwards to the dragons. Despite being huge, the dragons were as agile as tiny raccoons. Even before the cannons fired, the riders would already take evasive action, by simply anticipating the unmistakable glow of the barrels!

The dragons flew back to the castle top and blasted the castle walls again. More and more magic cannons were destroyed!

Having taken so many fireballs directly, the walls were beginning to cave in. Crack lines started forming on their surfaces. The cracks appeared like thunder during a storm, spreading quickly from the top to the bottom of the castle. More and more cracks branched out, as if the wall was aging at a rapid speed. No sooner later, a large part of the castle crumbled like the hollowed-out, rotten trunk of a tree.

Vrouum! Rawgh!

Just when almost all of the magic cannon of Emerald Castle had fallen, 12 dragons burst out of the crumbling castle walls, and charged towards the White Jade Kingdom's dragon riders. Dragons from both sides of the war started launching fireballs at each other.

Now that is what you call toe-to-toe, wing-to-wing.

"Charge!"

"Hurrah!!"

Even though there were still numerous magic cannons that were still functioning in other parts of the castle, players had gained enough morale to charge up the front. Players of White Jade burned with intense morale and swarmed the castle like a tsunami.

Similarly, when the dragons from Emerald Castle had burst out heroically, their players had also rushed out of the castle to fight the incoming players.

The result of the war did not matter to either side, since their main objective was to earn as many Merit Points as they could. Hence, neither side would want to have their fight in the castle, even though it would easier to engage in a defensive fight. On a flat, empty terrain, players could blatantly engage with each other, be it kill or be killed, and the war would be over quickly that way. Time is of the essence since the war would end, once either leader of the warring kingdoms is killed.

Pew! Pew!

The magic cannons on the castle wall constantly blasted the players. However, since they had been vastly reduced, the light beams blasting into the sea of players would be like bowling balls hurled into the Pacific Ocean. They would hardly make any difference, in the grand scale of things.

The war zone was starting to turn ugly. Every second of every minute, players would be dying. The cycle continued on and on. Screams filled the sky as the sun started to set, slowly relieving the last rays of light from the blood-soaked shade of a once grassy plain. The battle was only between players. The NPC army in Emerald Kingdom was not moving, and the NPC army of White Jade Castle had yet to arrive. Apparently, the system had made it so to provide time for players to fight each other. If both NPC armies were to fight, the war would end in a heartbeat.

10 minutes…20 minutes…30 minutes…3 hours…5 hours…10 hours…

Even though players who fall in the war could revive after 30 minutes, the number of players in the battlefield had decreased dramatically, as their Merit points rose exponentially.

After dying for the fourth time, players would be revived back at their main city, unable to participate in the war any further. As for players who originated from Emerald City, they would be revived at White Jade Kingdom, instead of their own original "birthplace".

When the war was still at its premature stage, it was a chaotic crossfire of players swinging wildly at anything that moved, and even if Zhang Yang used {Shield Wall,} he would be instantly killed. Even professional players will face a great deal of trouble trying to survive in the chaotic war. However, when the number of players started to drop, the weapon tiers, skills, players co-op, and party formation would start to shine.

Right then, the players who were still alive on the field were the strongest in both skills and equipment. Players who had died 30 minutes before had come back to revive, only to be killed swiftly again by the much stronger survivors. The numbers had decreased from 200 million to only 500,000 players. These 500,000 players on the field were the elite among the elites. Hence, players from both sides of the war had a silent agreement to not engage in an all-out slugfest. Instead, they went around to search for newly revived players. There was no reason to go for an all-out kill. They were fighting for Merit points, not for the glory of mankind itself.

Chapter 482: The Appearance of the Emerald Kingdom's King

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Players had all the right to spend every single second, fighting for merit points. But, wisdom sometimes trumps strength. Reviving on the spot would only give you 20% HP for a start. It's not safe to roam around with such low health. The battlefield may look empty, but the place was filled with invisible Thieves lurking about, preying on the weak. Suffice to say, if you are newly revived, the first few seconds where you sit down to heal would be the most dangerous period. Since you can only revive yourself for a total of three times, the remaining players would be extremely cautious about their lives, while Thieves would have their eyes and ears wide open. Professional players had something else in mind, besides obtaining equipment, they wanted to get Titles. Those rewards can never be discarded after gaining levels, unlike that of an equipment. It would be something that you can wear on your name tag till kingdom comes! Plus, it's cool!

At that stage, no one was willing to take risks, hence, high leveled players tend to avoid each other, aiming instead for stragglers and errant weaklings. At most, they would only withdraw from the area respectfully.

That would be the norm, but things were different for the little brat. That little kid did not care about her odds, the ire of others, the incredulity of her actions. None of that mattered to her, she simply pounced on anything that stirred. Thanks to her efforts, Zhang Yang's little band had gathered up into an unstoppable force.

Zhang Yang would be in the air, attacking players as they move forward. Many players obviously thought they would be able to defeat them by swarming up to them in large numbers, but were inevitably defeated by Zhang Yang and his party.

Booooo--

The horn of war was blown, and could be heard several kilometers from the castle. The metal gates opened up and a neatly organized formation of NPC soldiers marched out from the small castle gates. One by one, platoons came out and formed a bigger formation in the field outside the castle. One more horn was blown, and a handsome, middle-aged man rode out of the castle on a dark red horse. The soldiers made way for the man and he stood at the front of the front line. The man wore a suit of armor that gave out a bright, golden luster. He wielded a normal sized battle hammer on his right, and a bloodied red shield at his left. The cape on his back fluttered in the wind, further adding onto the image of strength to him and his army behind.

[Moucander, King of Emerald Kingdom] (Ascended, Humanoid)

Level: ???

HP: ???

Defense: ???

Attack Power: ???

Skills: ???

Note: The King of Emerald Kingdom. For 12 years, he ruled, he fought, he endured.

The boss has finally made an appearance.

"Kill the boss! EQs! EQs!" cried players when they saw the tag "Ascended". How much was a Violet-Platinum worth, during this stage of the game? If a Violet-Platinum equipment could be sold for several hundred thousand, how much would a Ascended equipment be? After all, an Open World high-level boss' first kill would be accompanied by a server announcement, so, who would not be jealous?

When the boss finally made his appearance, players lit up with joy. However, they were so blinded by greed and ambition that they failed to notice the army behind him.

During that moment, the army of White Jade Kingdom had finally arrived. However, the final "trump card" was not there. Queen Serena and her elite team of dragon riders were nowhere to be seen.

After a short exchange of verbal assaults, armies from both sides let out a deafening battle cry, and like two great tsunamis, the two enemies clashed with each other, head to head. Players had taken the chance to join the fray and quietly meted out the final hits to farm Merit Points. Be it as they may, no one could compete with Zhang Yang in terms of efficiency.

He had a flying mount to begin with. His movement speed was unmatched at the moment. Like a heavily armored, flying brick of an assassin, he remained hidden in the shadows, sneaking in from where no one could see him.

The flying snake shot down to the earth at breakneck speed and spat its poison attacks. Players with HP lesser than 9,000 would be instantly killed by Zhang Yang. On the other hand, Zhang Yang's {Blast Wave} could wipe out a large area of players. Whenever there were concentrated clumps of players, their numbers would work in his favor, triggering his {Blast Wave} over again and again. Even though the damage dealt by {Blast Wave} was low, it was enough to land the final killing blows.

On the side note, he was the General if the White Jade Expedition Army. The NPC army would grant Zhang Yang 1% of the Merit Points. His Merit points were rocketing at such a speed that he had already surpassed 200,000 points in a blink of an eye.

With NPCs sortied out in the field, the power levels were on an even scale. The battle continued on, as blood was spilled, and bodies were dropping. If Zhang Yang were to turn back, all he would only be greeted by the sight of an endless red. The greens were all submerged and dyed in the blood of both players and NPC soldiers. The blood fest continued on for another two hours, and even though players had joined the fight, their numbers were still at a stable 400,000 or so. By then, most of the NPCs had already fallen. When their numbers run out, the boss should finally step in.

A sea of players rushed towards the last boss, even though they knew that the boss was a Ascended tier level. Their reasoning was that, if each of the 100,000 players could at least deal 100 damage to the boss, the total would go up to 1 million damage. A few rounds of that should easily solve the problem! Or so they thought…

On the other side of the battlefield, players from Emerald Kingdom had hated the fact that they could not switch sides to attack the boss. Some of them were shouting many kinds of proposals, but only one got through.

"Guys! It doesn't matter which kingdom wins. How about we think of the bigger picture? Players of Emerald Kingdom shall make way for players from White Jade Kingdom to kill the boss without any interruption. We hope that you would do the same for us when the boss for White Jade Kingdom appears later! If we could cooperate together, it would easier to defeat the bosses!"

The proposal immediately gained everyone's agreement, but it was only a premature decision. Before Queen Serena appear, no one would be willing to give up their one and only boss to the opposite side.

"Wait!" cried Zhang Yang, stopping Wei Yan Er from rushing over. "Calm down. Do you remember when we first fought the Mythical tier boss? The dungeon had a pile of Mythical tier equipment for us to use, then. Even so, it was a miracle for us to survive the battle! Ascended and Mythical equipment are three tiers apart. The boss is not someone we can just defeat with sheer numbers. Wait for Queen Serena and let them fight it out. We cannot and never would be able to survive a hit from the boss! Let the two Ascended bosses fight it out, and then we'll attack from behind."

The little brat sulked when Zhang Yang had stopped her but calmed down when she listened to Zhang Yang's explanation. Then again, even if players from Emerald Kingdom verbally agreed to let them fight the boss without interruption, would they hold on to their words? There were many who shared the same line of thought as Zhang Yang. Instead of rushing in like retards, they stood back and observed.

"Fools. You dare to attack a king?!" Moucander muttered and swung his hammer into the air. In an instant, the air around literally cracked. The air where he struck his hammer then made mirror-like cracks that hovered in the air. When the players had stupidly rushed through the cracks, they broke and dealt massive damage to those who ran through the cracks.

'-155,324!'

'-167,283!'

…

All players within a hundred radius from the boss were instantly inflicted with damages of more than 150,000! All players were killed faster than the attack from a magic cannon blast. After the attack, no one was standing. No one made any noise. No one survived.

…

Such power can only be that of an Ascended tier boss.

Players that were rushing from behind immediately held their steps and turned around to flee. No one, not even the strongest tanks could take such a hit and still survive! The boss' first attack was already an AoE attack type, with at least a hundred-meter wide radius. How could anyone survive such an attack, even before landing a single hit on the boss?

When Moucander laid down the first strike, he had let out a loud battle cry and gained the bloodlust. He charged up front and chased after players to kill. With his powerful attacks, he had no need to even reach the players to kill them. All he needed to do was to swing his hammer in the air, and he could deal destructive attacks on everyone within the vicinity of a hundred meters. To make things worse, the skill's cooldown time was merely 10 seconds!

Almost immediately, all the players from White Jade Kingdom turned tail and ran with haste. Some unfortunate players who had just waited 30 minutes to revive were killed instantly when the boss' attacks were within their respawn locations. Those ill-fated players had no idea what killed them and had to spent another 30 minutes waiting. Some were even instantly kicked out, because they had already ran out of tries.

In such a chaotic scene, no one could even uphold the agreement proposed by the Emerald Kingdom players. Verbal agreements meant nothing, when players from White Jade Kingdom were running away like sheep. During this commotion, reasoning made no sense anymore. Greed ruled the battle ground when players from Emerald Kingdom started to "reinforce" their king and kill the players. Now, White Jade Kingdom was actually running out of players.

Moucander's devastating attack and its ridiculously short cooldown time could possibly have turned him into a world class boss. To defeat a boss of such caliber, a large number of player would have to join hands and charge in with sheer numbers, and among those vast number of players, they had to have decent skill and equipment! That, or, players would be wiped out before they can even approach the boss!

That, or the [Forbidden Scroll]!

"Dummy! What should we do? If we let this go on, our forces will be completely annihilated!" cried Han Ying Xue.

Zhang Yang looked down and then turned back. "Right now, all we can do is to hang on until Queen Serena gets here. That's no other way!"

Even though Zhang Yang had a [Forbidden Scroll] in his inventory, he had no intention of wasting it on the boss. The scroll would be extremely effective against players or NPC armies! It would be a complete waste to use the scroll right there and then.

As the situation continued to worsen, One Sword Scroll, Greensleeve Prince, and Snow Seeker had started leading their troops towards Zhang Yang's party. Somehow, in their opinion, if they were to stand behind the world's greatest tank, things would be fine.

Zhang Yang could not help but frowned. If he had unlimited {Shield Walls}, he could at least put up a fight with the Ascended boss. But now, there is literally nothing to do besides waiting for Queen Serena to arrive and babysit them all.

"Haha! Fools! Know your place! Die and rot in hell!" Moucander laughed as he rode his super-speedy mount and chased down more players, wiping them out by droves with his hammer. His movement speed was just a little over the speed of Zhang Yang's flying mount!

Eventually, the number of players of White Jade Kingdom dropped from 400,000 to 200,000. The power balance had been shattered. If Moucander were to stop and return to his castle, players of White Jade Kingdom would still retreat as far as they could, since the number of both sides differed too greatly.
