Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The first steps of collecting the fragments of an Inheritance are understandably annoying. However, if a player could even get one piece of the fragments, it would just be a matter of time before the player can locate the remaining pieces. So in just 7 days, Fatty Han had already gathered the six pieces of the [Vampire Inheritance] fragments and put them together to form the Inheritance Keepsake of the [Vampire Inheritance]. With that Inheritance Keepsake in his hands, Fatty Han succeeded in activating the Linking Quest for the [Vampire Inheritance].

The first few quests had only required players to run around and kill some weaker monsters. Even with his current level and skills, Fatty Han could have handled things by himself with ease -- despite his controls were not at the level of a professional player, he could still crush every monster that the quests required him to kill without any problem at all!

Furthermore, even if he is no match to the monsters, Fatty Han could still activate his 'holy' Skill {Fake Death}. So, there was no need to worry about him being tortured to death by the monsters.

Zhang Yang could finally stop worrying about Fatty Han. Since this fatty already has a [Flying Mount] as well, he should be able to travel around conveniently. Hence, the 'flying service' that Zhang Yang had been providing Fatty Han was no longer needed. Other than that, two men huddling together on the back of a [Flying Mount, well, it could be easily misinterpreted. You know, gay. Meanwhile, Whitey Jr. Was not pleased with Fatty Han's weight. If the system would even allow the Serpent do it, Whitey Jr. would have spat on Fatty Han's face multiple times!

Meanwhile, outside the game, Silky Soft Holdings was finally regaining its standing and prestige. Be it the 'Set Meal' that Silky Soft Holdings had presented while collaborating with Crimson Cosmetic Holdings, or the main products that the company had introduced to the markets, everything that they did these days packed a punch in the flow of the market. The results of their performance were blooming like sesame flowers, with each flower growing higher than the last that bloomed! In other words, they were attaining a higher standard in the marketplace, each time they made a move!

Previously after the 'scandal', the salesmen of Silky Soft Holdings would need to fall on their knees and beg all hypermarkets to put the products from Silky Soft Holdings on their shelves. However, now, their roles had been reversed, the hypermarkets have become the ones begging the salesmen from Silky Soft Holdings to supply them the goods!

Some of the hypermarkets were proposing to pay in advance for the goods. Unlike the previous encounters, they had actually asked for the goods to be distributed over to their storehouse, before they start providing a small share of their sales! With more financial holdings to be liquidated, the company is now in a better position to expand further. Well, Silky Soft Holdings is advancing by massive strides. As long as the person is not blind, anyone can clearly see the bright prospect of the future that lay before Silky Soft Holdings.

Zhang Yang could not help but let out a breath of sigh. In his previous life, Sky and Ocean Electronics was just a small company with only tens of million dollars of assets. Just because of One Sword Stroke, and because the Sky and Ocean Electronics Battle Team was dominating the game with their unstoppable skills, they had managed to make a name out of themselves and had advertised their company through the game, to great effect. In just 5 years time, the Sky and Ocean Electronics had expanded into a large scale company that had assets worth hundreds of billion dollars! It seemed that the power of 'idols' really did the trick well!

With waves of benefits and tons of earnings gushing towards her, of course, Snow Seeker would be happy to see Zhang Yang. She invited Zhang Yang and the high-ranking officers of Silky Soft Holdings over to her Crimson Cosmetic Holdings as their 'VIP' guests. Perfumed Water and the other flirtatious women were trying their very best to tease Zhang Yang, saying that they would definitely thank him for 'providing' beautiful models who would be willing to spend a night with him. They even guaranteed that he would be very pleased when he comes.

What a bunch of thick faced whores!

At the current stage of the game, the casual players had also reached Level 95 and above. There would be a very small portion of players entering the Chaos Realm in the near future. Sooner of later, the Chaos Realm is going to become very lively with the 'passenger flow' soon to hit its peak!

'Ding! The Winst Castle is under siege!'

Zhang Yang was on his way to the Flatlands of the Man-Eating Monster, with his mind set on searching for the second quest item - [Zinc Alloy] to unseal the second seal of his [Sword of Purging Devourer] -- he was bound to encounter a boss. Bosses would mean additional income to Zhang Yang.

However, not long after he flew, Zhang Yang received a System Notification.

Only the Baron of Territories would receive such alarming messages. Be it the soldiers of the Territory, the town folks, or the buildings, as long as anyone or anything that belongs to Territory is attacked by enemy forces, the system would notify the Baron with such alarming messages. Of course, players can choose to mute such notifications.

Well, it was no surprise that Winst Castle would be under attack. Since the players of Japan-Korea server would enter the Chaos Realm only to realize that their Territory Gateway had already been conquered by a player from the China server, well, it makes perfect sense for them to feel unimaginable rage. Of course they would attack Winst Castle!

Even though Zhang Yang had not spent a large sum of money on building facilities, but the basic defenses were a must! Basic defensive facilities such as [Magic Cannon, Soldiers, and even the [Mechanical Servants]! Zhang Yang had brought some [Allsparks] over to the Chaos Realm and made quite a number of [Mechanical Servant]. Although they were just Level 85 monsters, but they were still Elites!

Furthermore, the Level Gap Suppression' function of the game had been increased up to 30 levels. So, an army of Level 85 elites could still give Level 100 players a hard time, and they would greatly outnumber!

With 100 [Mechanical Servants] charging out, one or two players with powerful equipment would still be wiped out instantly -- unless they have 'Transformation Skill' of an Inheritance!

Therefore, although Winst Castle was also under the attack from the players from Japan-Korea server, they were all taken out by the [Mechanical Servants]. They did not even have to use the [Magic Cannon]! One shot from the [Magic Cannon] costs 100,000 gold coins! Using a [Magic Cannon] to kill one player is an act of overkill! It would be like using a cannon to blow away a mosquito! To spend money like that, it is no longer the act of a pompous, filthy-rich snot, it would be an unforgivable sin!

At first, Zhang Yang did not think much about it. He believed that the invaders would be swiftly taken care of by his army of [Mechanical Servants]. However, for the next few minutes, Zhang Yang was still receiving notifications about the attacks on his Territory. He could not help but to frown a little in annoyance as he directed the Serpent to land.

Could it be, that those people of the Japan-Korea server were about to launch a large-scale assault on his Winst Castle?

Zhang Yang could not stop wondering as he took out his [Teleportation Scroll] and tore it up. In just a manner of seconds, he was teleported back to Morning Town. Then he quickly used the Teleportation Circle in the town to travel back to Winst Castle.

After that, he jumped straight onto Whitey Jr. and flew over the top of the castle, together with Felice. He began to survey the area, trying to locate the attackers. It did not take long before Zhang Yang spotted them.

100 [Mechanical Servants] and 100 Castle Guards had been dispatched to engage the invaders. Other than the [Magic Cannons] these two armies were all who defended Winst Castle. There were a total of 20 players. Four Tankers were tanking everything in front of them, while the DPS players were channeling their damage output towards their enemies as furiously as they could. Meanwhile, there were also 5 healers healing up the Tankers from a safe distance.

The battle was halfway through, as the remaining number of the [Mechanical Servants] was only about a quarter. Not even half of the army of Castle Guard were remained on the battlefield! The enemies must have activated some powerful Skills such as Paired Skills like {Blizzard Sky} and {Luna's Dew} in order to kill so many Elites in such a short period of time!

Of course, although [Mechanical Servants] and the Castle Guards were all elite Tier, they were still no match to the elite Tier monsters in the Chaos Realm. Each of these [Mechanical Servant] only had a total HP of 150,000, and the Castle Guards were only slightly stronger. These Castle Guards only had a total of 250,000 HP! That was why they are not up to the task of holding back these powerful opposition players! Well, strictly speaking, these NPC soldiers were merely half that of an elite Tier!

Looking at the situation from above, Zhang Yang could see that these players are quite skillful and capable. They were capable of forming a human wall with 4 Tankers as vanguards. That way, they could firmly hold back the NPCs and hook on to the NPCs' aggro while allowing the DpS players behind them to channel their damage output towards the NPCs without any interruptions! That would really maximize the efficiency of their damage output!

Well, it was also not very surprising to see such skilled players in the Chaos Realm. Well, players who can enter the Chaos Realm in the first place must be the top players of their respective servers in the first place. So it makes sense that it would not really that hard for these players to take on this bunch of 'half elite' NPCs.

Zhang Yang looked closer with his eyes opened wider. These 20 players were not from the same guild. They had to be the best players that different guilds could offer! A few days ago, there were only a few players at a time who were attempting to attack the Winst Castle. They were slaughtered by the NPCs like goats instead. Now, they have finally sent their high-tiered players, and had even teamed up together!

With a command through his mind, Zhang Yang ordered Whitey Jr. to descend down to the ground.

At the same instant, the battle on the ground was about to end. Although there were still a number of NPCs remaining, their HPs were already at critical levels. After another wave of powerful assaults, almost all of the NPCs were killed.

The moment when Zhang Yang touched down on the ground, the last 7 NPCs who were still standing took the final hits before they collapsed onto the ground. Now, only Zhang Yang was standing before the 20 players.

Zhang Yang sat on the back of Whitey Jr., looking mighty, while Felice stood next to him with her lance in her hand with pride. The little lady had a cold expression on her face, ready to kill.

"Zhan Yu?" one of the Tankers on the opposition side suddenly blurted out. He actually took a few, calculated steps back when he saw Zhang Yang!

Zhang Yang felt a chill down his spine, knowing nothing about this guy. How did he know about him? But after giving it some thoughts about it, he was rather famous himself. He was currently the Number One Tanker in the entire China server. Countless high Tiered players would try to study and learn his tactics and skills! It was comprehensible that many players would recognize him.

The facial expression of Zhang Yang at that moment was as if he did not give a damn about anything. However, as he scanned the surroundings with his eyes, he realized that the 20 players had quietly flanked him from all directions, except for the direction from above. Zhang Yang felt like laughing hard after seeing what was going on. Well, he has a [Flying Mount]. Surrounding him up would not do any good for them at all. If he ever wanted to leave, who could have stopped him, anyway?

However, it wasn't their fault, as they were still new to the Chaos Realm. They were not used to the idea of Air Combat, yet. They must have gotten used to rounding enemies up after years of practice. Well, no one can blame them for acting 'rationally' according to the situation. One can only say that these players have not caught up to the game's current development.

Zhang Yang smiled vaguely as he began to 'welcome' them, "Fellow players, it must have been tiring to travel a great distance just to arrive here. Come, have a rest in the castle."

Rest? F*ck you!

The Japan-Korea players were scolding and cursing him in within their hearts. This Territory Gateway should belong to the Japan-Korea server in the first place! And now, they are being treated like guests in their own Territory-was-to-be? Well, there is a limit to humiliating others!

Apparently, the first Tanker who spoke up was called 'Ode to the Grim Reaper', and he too, was a Guardian. He stood out from the party and said, "Our experts in Korea have been studying your ancestors, and we are very sure that your ancestors were refugees who fled from Korea many years ago! So you are not Chinese, you have the blood of our noble Korea flowing beneath your skin! Come back to our noble Korea! Only then, can you ensure the best possible paths for your future!"

The rage rushed up to Zhang Yang's head in an instant!

Zhang Yang went all 'Sparta' the moment he heard what the Ode to the Grim Reaper said. The ability of that fellow to talk nonsense with his eyes closed is truly amazing! Spectacular! They didn't even know his surname! It is amazing how they claimed to have 'discovered' Zhang Yang's heritage and all!

However, it made sense when the Koreans believe that the entire universe is created by them! To them, Zhang Yang would naturally be a Korean as well! What a joke!

When players first connect to the {{God's Miracle}}. the system will automatically spawn the players in one of the eight main cities based on the location that the players are at. No changes will be made after that. So, even if Zhang Yang travels over to America and signs in from there, the system will still recognize him as a player from China, a player from White Jade Castle.

However, players could apply to change their servers if they ever feel like it. But, they must undergo some annoying steps and pay a substantial sum of money.

Therefore, traitors from China, Korea, Japan, or America do exist in this game. Well, it mattered not, be it Zhang Yang's previous life or this life, there would always be high-Tiered players who lacked such morality, to the point that they would turn their backs against their own people, their own countries. They would just join other servers and go up against their own kin with a snap of their fingers.

Zhang Yang laughed out loud and said, "That's right. If you say so, I should be an esteemed Korean by now. My deeds should have spoken for themselves. So, you Korean youngsters should just call me supreme leader, or master would do!"

Chapter 516: An Easy Obliteration

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Zhan Yu!" Ode to the Grim Reaper was enraged. He raised up his sword and shield and pointed the sharp tip of the blade at Zhang Yang, "You dare to insult me?"

So, this imbecile claimed Zhang Yang's nationality to be Korean, but felt humiliated when Zhang Yang claimed himself to be their supreme leader? Now, who is the joke, now?

"What are we waiting for? Stop with the bullsh*t and get rid of him already!" one of the Spellcasters with the name of 'Ancient House Prince' said. It was pretty obvious that he was not very fond of Ode to the Grim Reaper. He pointed his staff at Zhang Yang, and started chanting for his spell.

A Japanese player, perhaps?

Zhang Yang revealed a sinister smile on his face and said, "Felice, let's go and kill that 'Shorty Japan'!"

Felice wouldn't understand the term 'Shorty Japan', but since Zhang Yang was pointing at the Ancient House Prince, she nodded immediately and leaped and transformed into her Dragonhawk Form. She flew into the air and began to chant the spell for her {Fire Missile} as she targeted the Spellcaster.

"Kill him!"

The battle erupted suddenly, thanks to Ancient House Prince. His action was like the trigger that ignited a barrel of explosives! The 20 players launched their assaults towards Zhang Yang, almost at the same instant!

Although a [Flying Mount] is convenient, it had a fatal weakness when it comes to battling players. The body mass of a [Flying Mount] is too large! It would make a fine target for the enemies to aim at! Zhang Yang had the {God of War Transformation} on hand, so he was confident of holding his own, here. He activated the {God of War's Shield} as a start, acquiring an additional 20% Passive Damage Immunity. Then, he jumped down from the back of Whitey Jr. and activated {Charge,} as he charged towards Ancient House Prince.

'-23,895!'

Zhang Yang swung his quarterstaff-hammer and landed a solid hit on the neck of the Ancient House Prince. It did not just take away two-fifths of the HP bar of the player, that strike had also broken the neck of Ancient House Prince to the point that it was crooked at a weird angle! The chanting was interrupted instantly!

With the strike, the Rage Points that Zhang Yang has was instantly boosted up to a total of 120 points! The Rage Bar was full! He laughed, as he proceeded to activate his {Destructive Smash} on the Spellcaster.

'-49,122!'

"Argh!" Ancient House Prince let out a miserable cry as he was sent straight to the Graveyard. Although those were two different strikes that Zhang Yang slammed at almost the same instant on the Ancient House Prince, there was no Global Cool Down for the two strikes, as one was merely a normal attack while the other was a Skill attack. Ancient House Prince was struck so swiftly that he did not even have time to activate his {Ice Barrier} or {Apparate}!

"Holy mother of god!"

After witnessing the terrifying damage that Zhang Yang had brought upon the Ancient House Prince, everyone on the scene was shocked to core. A few of them even rubbed their eyes as they could not believe the truth that they had just witnessed!

What the hell was that? Could a Guardian really do so much damage?

However, these were the top players in their region, after all. They managed to recover from the shock in an instant. The Spellcasters carried on with their chanting while the other players started moving around in a tactical formation. But, because they had locked on to the Serpent, so most of their attacks were launched at Whitey Jr. instead of Zhang Yang.

As Zhang Yang had instantly killed the player that Felice targeted, Felice was interrupted in the chanting of her {Fire Missile} and she decided to use {Pulverizing Flame} instead, torching up the place, creating a sea of flames beneath her.

However, players are not as dumb as the monsters in the game. They would not just stand there and let the flames scorch their asses. All of them immediately fled from that area as they ran like wild gooses! With them running around wildly, trying to avoid themselves from being burned alive, it gave Zhang Yang another opportunity to attack. Zhang Yang went on with a {Heroic Leap} and landed by the spot where the Healers were standing. He stunned all 5 Healers at once!

{Horizontal Sweep}!

'-47,120!'

'-48,902!'

'-95,032!'

'-49,902!'

4 damage values popped right on top of the 4 healers' heads, and one of them was a Critical Damage! That Critical Hit sent a Holy Knight straight to the Graveyard! Unfortunately, these Healers were standing quite far away from each other. Although Zhang Yang had managed to strike the 5 Healers with his {Heroic Leap}, his {Horizontal Strike} could not cover that much ground and he had only managed to hit 4 of them!

Well, it was still a productive outcome. The other 3 Healers were left with only a little amount of HP on them. They quickly retreated and started healing themselves up.

Meanwhile, there were no longer any available targets within the range attack of Felice's {Pulverizing Flame}. Naturally, Felice did not waste any more time in herding the players. She dove down from the sky in high speed. While she was at it, she transformed into her Humanoid Form before she reached the ground. She landed right beside Zhang Yang. As the 1-second Global Cool Down period was over, she immediately raised her lance and struck it straight towards a Priest.

'-17,880!'

With that strike, the Priest died on the spot! Felice was being very intimidating as she continued to activate her {Blazing Dragon's Spear} on another target. Another damage of '-18,067' popped up on top of one of the healers, and the third healer was killed as well!

Everything was happening so lightning fast! 4 players were already dead!

Ode to the Grim Reaper was feeling angry and shocked at the same time, and he informed one of his teammates, "Pika, go and restrict the Battle Companion!"

"Roger!" the Thief nodded and reached out with his hands as he made a gesture that suggested that he was pressing his palms against Felice, remotely. A stream of light gushed towards Felice and turned into a ball-shaped barrier the moment it reached Felice! Felice was suddenly caught in a barrier!

Felice let out a roar with rage as she attempted to break the barrier. However, everything that she did could not even give a scratch. She began to panic and started screaming for help, "Big brother! I'm stuck! Help!"

This Skill should be similar to the "Banishment" effect. Although it could restrict the movement of Felice for a short moment, but it would also make Felice immune to all damage at the same time! Zhang Yang comforted her as she looked genuinely terrified, "Don't worry, Felice. I can handle all these clowns by myself! It will be just like dancing with a bunch of clowns!"

'-2093!'

'-0!'

'-1025!'

'-5052!'

...

The attacks of Ode to the Grim Reaper and his party members had finally landed on Zhang Yang! But they could only inflict Zhang yang with approximately 5,000 damage, each. So they had only managed to damage Zhang Yang by approximately 10,000 to 20,000 damage. Well, dual-weapon wielders like Thief Class players could not even break through Zhang Yang's Defense to even damage him!

It cannot be helped because Zhang Yang currently had a total Defense of 2,400 points, 40% Damage Immunity, and also a total of 2,606 Damage Absorption! Zhang Yang is the only player to have an Inheritance at the current stage of the game. It also happened to be the strongest class, Class S! If he is unable to oppress these players who were at such a disadvantage, then Zhang Yang should be ashamed of himself!

Truth to be told, Zhang Yang did not really care about the damage he receives. He cared more about the Status Restriction Effects that are being used on him! However, ever since he has the [God of War Inheritance, his resistance against Status Restriction Effects has greatly increased. At least, none of the Status Restriction Effects that he had encountered so far would have any effect on him!

Well, such is the power of an [Inheritance, on players without [Inheritances]!

Furthermore, even if he really is affected by a Status Restriction Effect, Zhang Yang still has {Warrior's Will}, [Heart of the Death Knight] and [Mobility Potion] to free himself from the effect. That should be enough for him to unleash hell upon all his enemies!

'-45228!'

'-23982!'

The [Heaven Shaker] was just like the golden cudgel, the weapon that was used by the Monkey King who made a mess in the heavens! Every touch from it hurt, every strike from it killed!

At the current stage of the game, even players who are not Tankers would only have approximately 80,000 HP when they are mounted on a Yellow-Gold Tier [Mount]. Taking damage from Skills that inflict 200% Melee Attack of Damage such as {Frost Strike}, {Horizontal Strike} and {Destructive Smash} would cause any player to lose at least 40,000HP. If there are any Critical Hits among these attacks, the player would be instantly killed!

Furthermore, even if {Cripple Defense} is just a Skill that players use to decrease the Defense of their opponents, but even so, if it comes from Zhang Yang, it would deal upwards of 10,000 damage, which also meant that Zhang Yang could cause at least 50,000 damage to a player by using Skills that inflict 200% Melee Attack of Damage, such as {Frost Strike}, {Horizontal Strike} and {Destructive Smash}! The {Cripple Defense} would serve as a great boost in filling up his Rage Bar, giving him a higher capability of inflicting even more terrifying amount of damage!

"Stop him! Restrict his movement, or do something!" Under the tactical arrangement of Ode to the Grim Reaper, the four Tankers came from 4 different directions, trying to box Zhang Yang in attempting to stop him from making his way over to the remaining Healer and the DpS players. Although the attacks of Zhang Yang were oppressively powerful, but Tankers would always give him a headache, as they could sustain much more damage than players of other Classes!

Zhang Yang let out a loud laugh, and then he used the {Glare of the Death God} on Ode to the Grim Reaper.

With another wave of his hand, Zhang Yang summoned out [Devastator] onto the battlefield and commanded [Devastator] to attack Ode to the Grim Reaper as aggressively as possible. Well, on the other hand, Ode to the Grim Reaper was not really having good luck either. The first hit from the [Devastator] had actually triggered the special effect of the {Glare of the Death God]! Zhang Yang rushed in with a stomp on the ground as he activated his {Thunder Strike}, giving a fatal blow to Ode to the Grim Reaper, that instantly killed him!

There was no doubt that the equipment set of Ode to the Grim Reaper was the best among the other Tankers. However, to see Ode to the Grim Reaper being instantly killed by a mere Level 88 Silver-Tier Servant was just unaccountable! How could anyone stand being killed by such a low Tier Servant! Furthermore, because Ode to the Grim Reaper had died so swiftly, none of them were able to see the description of the negative effect that was inflicted upon him!

The more they did not understand the situation, the more they lost the will to battle, and the more they feared. The three Tankers could not help but to retreat, one step at a time. Their faces were indistinguishable from the faces of albinos!

Zhang Yang felt very satisfied with the current situation. He could already torture them so brutally without even activating his {God of War Transformation}! If he did activate his {God of War Transformation}, would he actually be able to kill all of them instantly?

When a player with an [Inheritance] engages a player without an [Inheritance, the advantage that the player with [Inheritance] has over the player without an [Inheritance] is really oppressive! Although Zhang Yang had not activated his {God of War Transformation}, he still had a 50% damage increment and 20 additional Damage Immunity, pulling him far ahead of players without an [Inheritance]!

Zhang Yang saw the opportunity, so he grabbed it! He charged out of the box formation as swiftly as he could. By swinging his [Heaven Shaker] around consecutively, Zhang Yang oppressively crushed the players of the Japan-Korea region, like a tiger among a herd of sheep! Although it was just him alone, he had crushed the opposition party to the point that they could not even fight back! It was a total wipeout!

The Thief that was still restricting Felice with his 'Spell' saw that Zhang Yang was charging at him aggressively, as if he was ready to bite off his nose. He was so terrified that he stopped using his Spell and activated his {Vanish}, entering Stealth Mode. He did not want to die so horribly!

Felice was finally freed from the 'restriction barrier' that had held her for quite a while. She rejoined the battle and worked together with Zhang Yang in order to taken down everyone else on the opposing side. The two of them were like god slayers! Anyone who stood in their way would only be slaughtered!

After killing eight of them, Zhang Yang only had about 30,000HP left. Without panicking, he activated his {Last Vigor} before activating his {Shield Wall}. His HP bar instantly recovered completely! But, why did Zhang Yang activate his {Last Vigor}? Because, this Skill gives a temporary boost of 30% on his Maximum HP amount, and {Shield Wall}, while under the Special Effect of the [Titan Wall, could recover his HP based on a fixed percentage. That would mean that, if he has a higher amount of Maximum HP, he would be able to recover more health!

After witnessing the HP bar that they taken so much effort to reduce beginning to fill it self up, the remaining 12 players of the Japan-Korea region considered giving up immediately. They actually thought that without the {Berserker's heal}, Zhang Yang would not be able to hold up his HP for long, as every player only has one HP bar! Furthermore, Zhang Yang was not some sort of God of War that is all powerful! So sooner or later, even Zhang Yang could be brought down to his knees!

However, they had never expected Zhang Yang to possess the powerful relic - [Titan Wall]! Zhang Yang could actually recover his HP bar, just by activating his {Shield Wall}!

Fortunately for them, they did not have to find out that Zhang Yang still had another trump card that could recover his HP back to the full state, in an instant! Or else, they could simply drop their weapons in surrender!

Another minute had passed. From 12, only 5 players remained! The 5 players looked at each other hopelessly. Then, they began to hop on to their [Mounts] and made their escapes. The 5 of them headed towards 5 different directions! They were trying not to give Zhang Yang the chance to catch them all in one draft!

Zhang Yang laughed as he mounted himself onto Whitey Jr.. The movement speed of a [Flying Mount] was extremely fast, and Zhang Yang caught up with 3 of the players with ease. He attempted to kill them one by one, however, two of them got away in the end.

Chapter 517: Aiding Fatty Han

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Nevertheless, Zhang Yang was pleased with the outcome of the battle. He had just crippled a party made up of Top Tier players, from a large region and more importantly, he had taken them out all by himself without any other party members around him! That itself was already an impressive achievement. It does not matter even if he fails to capture all of them.

Unfortunately, such days will not remain for long. When other players begin to acquire [Inheritances] for themselves, the advantage that Zhang Yang has right now would diminish, or even be gone! But, the [God of War Inheritance] is the best top-tier S-Class [Inheritance] in the game. Only 6 players would be able to obtain this Class. Ergo, Zhang Yang would still have some advantages over the other players. But, the advantages he holds shall not be as great as before.

The Chaos Realm had been quite merry for the passing days. The server would notify about some Territories being refreshed, and some Territories being conquered by players. In only less than a week, all eight Territory Gateways have acquired their own Barons.

Indubitably, because Zhang Yang had occupied the Territory Gateway in Winst Castle that should supposedly belong to the Japan-Korea region, the Japan-Korea region had taken a slap on their 'shorty' faces. It hurt them so much, having to travel all the way from the Teleportation point in the Ten Barren Seas to enter the Chaos Realm. Zhang Yang's handy work had greatly inconvenienced them, making them take up so much time just to travel to the Chaos Realm!

Furthermore, because Winst Castle is right in the middle of the only path that led deeper into the Chaos Realm, the players from Japan-Korea region are forced to grind only in one-fifth of the Grandu Ice Ridge map! Players with [Flying Mounts] could bypass the castle by flying over it. But the others without a [Flying Mount] would have to forcefully break through the Winst Castle in order to enter the Chaos Realm!

What makes them more depressed is that every time after they have returned to their main city, they will have to repeat the exact same process just to enter the wider part of the Chaos Realm. Zhang Yang's handy work simply gave them too much trouble!

When the number of players who reaches Level 100 increases, the Winst Castle would no longer be able to block the flow of the players from Japan-Korea region. As long as they come in a large group, they would have no problems at all in breaking through the Winst Castle. Although the Winst Castle would no longer be capable of holding the fort against the large group of Japan-Korea players, the place could still prevent smaller group of players. The situation was truly depressing and frustrating for the players of the Japan-Korea region. They would have to mobilize a large number of players every time they wanted to venture further into the Chaos Realm! If they do not do so, they would just be giving their enemies free kills!

Inconvenient! Very inconvenient!

However, without the [Territory Conquest Order, it would be pointless for them to level Winst Castle to the ground! The Baron of the Winst Castle would still be Zhang Yang. As long as he was willing to pay the repairing fees, he can just rebuild the castle as many time as he wants and continue keeping the players of the Japan-Korea region out!

In fact. he had been putting that strategy into practice! Every time after the army of Japan-Korea region leveled Winst Castle to the ground, Zhang Yang would rebuild Winst Castle by spending some money in order to collect the heads of the Japan-Korea players and get his revenge back!

He only loses a portion of his money by doing so, while wasting the time of the Japan-Korea players when they could have spent so much more time grinding up their levels! The most important thing in an online game is player's level. Without meeting the level requirement, a player will never be eligible to enter any higher leveled region, and they would also not be able to defeat high-level bosses, resulting in them not being able to acquire any high-level equipment!

With such an obstacle before them, the Japan-Korea region would definitely fall behind the rest of the game!

Currently, they were busting their asses, killing the bosses available in their area, over and over again in an attempt to acquire a [Territory Conquest Order]! They were determined to get back that which was supposed to be theirs, Winst Castle!

However, an item as rare as the [Territory Conquest Order] would only drop on the First Clear of a dungeon. All bosses located among the maps lower than Level 100 have been slain for so many times that anyone would have lost count by now! Hence, how was it possible for a [Territory Conquest Order] to still drop from the bosses, then?

Because of that, there was almost an in-fighting among the Japan-Korea players as they were arguing about the misuse of the [Territory Conquest Orders] that they had back then. Henceforth, they could only stare at Winst Castle until their eyes dry up!

Since it was no longer possible for them to obtain the [Territory Conquest Order] within their own region, the Japan-Korea players could put their hopes in the wider area of the Chaos Realm. After they managed to break through the Winst Castle, they would just have to search and slay bosses as much as they could just to attempt to get the order. Despite their efforts, a [Territory Conquest Order] would not drop so easily. It seems that they would have to keep on repeating this mundane task for a little while longer.

Well, the Japan-Korea region has become the laughing stock for the players all around the world as they are talked about in the official forums. While the players from other regions were enjoying the drama, the players from Japan-Korea region hated Zhang Yang so much that they would suck him dry and hang his meat and bones up, in front of their doorsteps! However, the players from the China region were respecting Zhang Yang more than they ever could for his handiwork. Teenagers of 16 to 17 years old viewed him as an idol.

Dungeons upwards of level 100 are designed for a much larger scale, in this case they would accommodate up to 50 players at a time. At the current stage of the game, most large-scale guilds have begun challenging those dungeons. They would get themselves familiar with the boss Skills and the attack patterns of the boss by clearing the Normal Mode and Hard Mode of the dungeons to familiarize themselves with the patterns of the boss.

In the past, the 'First Clear' achievements for the Hardcore Mode of dungeons had remained unique and individual to their respective regions. The eight big regions of the game would produce eight 'First Clears', for the same dungeon! Eight regions led to the possibility of eight 'First Clears'! However, only one party would be able to acquire the 'First Clear' of a dungeon after all players from all eight main regions have entered the Chaos Realm!

Therefore, the Level 100 dungeon - Dragon Throat Fortress was currently being targeted to be taken down at all costs, by all high profile guilds from all eight main regions! Whoever who manages to take down the Hardcore Mode of this dungeon first shall claim the first and only 'First Clear' in the Chaos Realm!

Securing the 'First Clear' of such a scale is what any guild would want. It is the highest form of glory that any guild would kill for!

This is really the defining moment to be number one, in the entire world! Which guild wouldn't want such a title bestowed upon themselves?

Therefore, even if they do not have enough members for it, they would still march into the dungeon to try on the boss! Although the Skills of the boss are clearly stated in the database, to read and come up with theories and to do it were two very different things. Seeing the others doing well is one thing, but when it is one's turn to engage, any form of unforeseen circumstance and errors might just pop right up in the face. Some things must be practiced to perfection in order to get a pass!

Although several more players have been flitting into the Chaos Realm along the passage of time, each guild would only be able to fork out a few representatives at the moment. In Lone Desert Smoke's case, they only had about 30 members capable of traveling into the Chaos Realm for the moment. Due to Mountain Mover's level being ineligible to enter the Chaos Realm, Zhang Yang could only allow Hundred Shots to lead the party over to the Dragon Throat Fortress dungeon to familiarize themselves with the attack pattern and Skills of the boss. Meanwhile, players who have not reached the required levels yet could only watch the video recordings of those who went to challenge the boss and failed badly. They could only learn from the mistakes that those players made through the videos.

The other guilds were also doing the same thing. In a nutshell, this is the first time that all guilds from all eight regions are fighting over this 'First Clear' title. The competition is even more intense than anyone could imagine. The discussions on the official forums were blazing up, as players from all eight regions were supporting the best guilds in their own regions, as they believed that their top guilds would be the ones who prevail. The servers of the official forums had crashed several times, because of the overflowing comments from the players from all eight regions. That just goes to show how intense the arguments on the forums were!

However, the total number of bosses in Dragon Throat Fortress has reached up to 15 bosses! The first 5 bosses were pushovers, giving out equipment to the players for free. However, the next 5 bosses were slightly harder. 50% of the parties could no longer progress any further into the dungeon. The final 5 bosses were the really challenging ones that are worthy of being called bosses in the Hard Mode of the dungeon. Basically, 90% of the parties could no longer progress any further as the bosses were too damn hard for them to take on! Some of them could not even catch their breaths!

The Normal Mode of the dungeon was simple enough, but the Hard Mode of the dungeon was a good 'entry examination' that separated the wheat from the chaff. Plus, none of the parties were complete yet. The Dungeon Expedition Force of the Lone Desert Smoke only managed to take down 11 bosses of the dungeon before the dungeon reset. The Dungeon Reset Time for a 50-player scale dungeon is 10 days (In-game Time), but truth to be told, the Dungeon Expedition Force of the Lone Desert Smoke only took two days to defeat 10 bosses. It took approximately 8 days for them to slay the 11th boss!

Furthermore, the final 5 bosses are expected to be increasing in difficulty, and that is just the Hard Mode of the dungeon! How hard would it really be when it comes to the Hardcore Mode of the dungeon then?

Naturally, the higher the difficulty, the better the rewards!

The bosses in Hard Mode would only drop Yellow-Gold Tier equipment, while the bosses in Hardcore Mode would have higher tendencies of dropping Violet-Platinum Tier equipment! So if the difficulty of the dungeon in Hardcore Mode does not meet a certain standard, then everyone will stand a chance of getting Violet-Platinum Tier equipment, and the entire game would be full of players with Violet-Platinum Tier equipment, totally defeating the purpose of equipment tiers!

Zhang Yang had thought about using his {God of War Transformation} to end the boss immediately. However, the cooldown period for the {God of War Transformation} is 3 days long! If he uses it to kill one boss at a time, then Zhang Yang could only kill 4 bosses before the dungeon resets. After the dungeon is being reset, Zhang Yang would have to repeat killing the bosses all over again!

Well, shortcuts are not meant for long-term solutions. Increasing the base skill and strength of the party is the best way to do it. After all, there are still countless of dungeons to be cleared in the future, and the bosses would only get even more difficult in the future. So, it would be impossible for Zhang Yang to always rely on his {God of War Transformation} skill.

According to the 'history' of Zhang Yang's previous life, it took more than 3 months (Real Time) to completely clear the dungeon, starting with the first boss in the Normal Mode of the Dragon Throat Fortress to the final boss Dragon Throat Orc Lord Basseula in the Hardcore Mode of the Dragon Throat Fortress. It was like hell broke loose, as people and monsters were roaring in misery and death!

Therefore, Zhang Yang had no need to worry about other parties snatching the 'First Clear' of the dungeon away. He could just focus on aiding his core players in acquiring their own [Inheritances]. By having [Inheritance, the power level of a player is totally different than before, for the better, of course!

"Little Yang, I've almost completed it all!" the panting sound of Fatty Han was heard loud and clear through the party channel, "Come and help me handle the final boss!"

"Alright, I'll be there in just a second!"

Zhang Yang agreed to help Fatty Han. He brought up his world map to check on the location of that fatty. Then he rode on Whitey Jr. and headed straight towards the location of Fatty Han. Fatty Han was currently in the Hidayat Wilderness map, at where the Antioch Forest was. It is a Level 120 - 150 Grinding Map. Therefore, there were no signs of any players on that map. Unless there are special quests requiring players to go to that map, players would only proceed in an orderly way. So, there is no way that they would suddenly come to a high leveled map to grind their levels.

When he arrived at the scene, Zhang Yang saw that fatty Han was hiding in the bushes by a manor. Fatty Han was acting extremely nervous, as he would look around very carefully like a stealthy criminal who had just committed a crime.

Zhang Yang could not help but to laugh as he landed the ground, "Fatty, why are you looking all shady over there? Is someone trying to poke your ass or what?"

"Oh my mother of god!" Fatty Han was instantly scared shitless as he jumped straight out from the bushes, "What the hell, little Yang! Don't scare me like this! And lower your voice down! The area before us is filled with Vampires, and they are all elite Tier! I almost died trying to fight them off!"

Zhang Yang came down from the back of Whitey Jr., "The boss that you need to slay is in there?"

"That's right. The description of the quest states that this is an S-Rank quest. So I immediately thought of you!" Fatty Han tapped on Zhang Yang's shoulder, "This should be a Mythical Tier boss, right?"

Zhang Yang shook his head, as the quest for the [Vampire Inheritance] is just a B-Rank quest. It's difficulty was just like the [King Kong Inheritance] that he had cleared in his previous life. So, the final boss of the quest should be the same Tier as the King Kong boss as well. This boss should be a Level 150 Ethereal boss.

Of course, there would still be some differences between the bosses, even though they are all in the same Tier. For example, the Ethereal Tier boss Black Dragon Anubask had an HP bar that was 10 times longer than the HP bar of a normal Ethereal Tier boss! If Felice had not gone crazy on the boss, Zhang Yang would not have completed his quest so soon, and it would have taken him a unimaginably long time to complete the quest!

"Let me summon the witch, little brat and the remaining of our party members over before we charge in!" Zhang Yang equipped his [Party Summon Order].

"Little Yang, oh my little Yang. You've 'tasted' that big breasted Snow already, have you?" Fatty Han suddenly interrupted Zhang Yang as he looked at Zhang Yang with a sleazy look.

Zhang Yang shrugged and said, "Why do you ask?"

"What the hell! Just look at her! That witch is always revealing her flirtatious face at you every single time she sees you. It's like she haven't write the words saying she had been ... 'moisturized' by someone! If you are saying that it wasn't you, then this 'someone' will be as good as dead!" Fatty Han looked at Zhang Yang with an ambiguous expression on his face.

"... er... we should start discussing the boss!" Zhang Yang was determined to ignore this annoying fatty and he activated the [Party Summon Order]. In less than 10 seconds, Sun Xin Yu, Han Ying Xue and the rest of his party members arrived.

He observed her intently, and it was as Fatty Han said, Han Ying Xue was indeed emitting her flirtatious aura all over the place, as every single gesture she made suggested something sexual. It's like she had been awoken to a new world of passion and love, and she was unconsciously letting it show! While Zhang Yang found it highly distracting, even Wei Yan Er and Daffodil Daydream would go blind if they had to watch her a little longer.

Zhang Yang would have never expected that the witch would actually bring in her her new awakening into the game. Worst of all, Fatty Han could see it as clear as day! Let's just hope that that fatty can keep his mouth shut!

"Brother Fatty! I'm really having a hard time imagining a fat bat flying in midair!" Endless Starlight started to tease Fatty Han about his body size.

"Haha! Little Starlight, there is no need to be envious of me! Rest assured, when I have obtained the [Vampire Inheritance, I shall help you get a C-Class [Inheritance]! At least you can also 'transform' yourself that way!" Fatty Han laughed out loud.

"Fine. Enough with the chatters! Let's hurry up and get things started. We'll get over with it sooner! Move out!" Zhang Yang waved his [Heaven Shaker] around and walked straight towards the manor.

"Who goes there? How dare you trespass into the private property of Count Ferra!" a middle-aged man in the manor shouted. This man was wearing a ceremonial robe of sorts, and looked like a noble aristocrat.

[Vampiric Familiar] (Elite, Spectre)

Level: 140

HP: 1,400,000

Defense: 2,440

Attack Power: 9,868 - 11,868

Skills:

[Blood Drain: Drains the blood of the target, inflicting 10,000 Shadow Damage to the target, while recovering the same amount of HP, based on the damage done to the target.

[Claw Skewer: Tears open the target with sharp claws, inflicting 100% Melee Attack of Physical Damage.

Note: The Vampiric Familiar that serves The Vampire Count Ferra, loyal to the master, brutal to the enemies.

"What the hell! This is an elite monster? The damage is already as high as a Yellow-Gold boss!" after reading the attributes of the monster, Endless Starlight let out a high pitched scream.

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "Well, you are in a higher leveled map now, of course the elites here would be much more powerful! If you ever get to the Level 300 map, the attacks of the elite monsters over there should be even more powerful than the attacks of a Holy Tier boss! The damage of this elite monster is not the main concern. The main thing, is that the monster's level is 30 levels higher than us, so there is a Level Gap Suppression!"

"However, the Level Gap Suppression function of the game is only annoying when it comes to boss battles. The elite monsters won't give us that much trouble, yet!" Zhang Yang activated his {Charge} and threw himself into the monster, followed by a powerful swing of his [Heaven Shaker] that bashed the monster in the head.

'-7,097!'

Huh? That damage is really low!

Under the boost of Wei Yan Er's {Strength Aura}, Zhang Yang's attack should have reached up to the range of 22,820 - 26,320. Even if the monster has 2,440 Defense, Zhang Yang's {Eagle Eye} could ignore 65% of the monster's Defense! So, he should be able to cause about 21,966 - 25,466 damage to the monster.

This is the doing of the Level Gap Suppression function! Zhang Yang's damage has greatly suffered because of it!

Chapter 518: The Vampire Count Ferra

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In 'God's Miracle', when it comes to the Level Gap Suppression' feature of the game, there is a 10% rate of players inflicting only 10% of the damage that they can cause to monsters. Then, there is a 20% rate for players to only inflict 20% of their initial damage. This follows with a 30% rate for players to only inflict 30% of their initial damage. Last but not least, there is a 40% rate for players to only inflict 50% of their initial damage.

In other words, players would never have the chance to inflict more than 50% of their normal damage when the Level Gap Suppression' function of the game is activated, due to the large gap between the level of players and the level of monsters. The strike that Zhang Yang landed on the monster was only 20% of his normal damage.

On the contrary, the Level Gap Suppression' function of the game would give the monster an advantage over the players. The monsters would have a 10% rate of causing damage 5 times higher than their normal damage, 20% rate of causing a damage 4 times higher than their normal damage, 30% rate of causing a damage 3 times higher of their normal damage, and a 40% rate of causing damage 2 times higher!

Therefore, it is not an easy task to fight way above their levels, especially when it comes to engaging a boss that has a higher level than you.

The situation was exactly like Zhang Yang's previous encounter with the Black Dragon, Anubask. Without Felice's explosive madness, even if Zhang Yang had brought 10,000 Level 100 players along with him, the boss would have 'eaten' them like an evening snack! There was not even the slightest chance of Zhang Yang slaying that boss!

To carry out an Excessive Level Challenge on bosses with a higher level than the players, especially on an insanely powerful boss like the Black Dragon Anubask, players must have enough number of [Forbidden Scrolls] at their disposal. Players must willing to use them like tissue papers, without having to care about the cost. As Zhang Yang had already obtained the {God of War Transformation}, he had finally acquired the strength that would make it possible for him to go up against the Black Dragon Anubask! However, the insanely long HP bar of the boss would still pose a question on whether Zhang Yang could put down the boss within two hours. The possibility of that lay within the efficiency of his damage output. Since the moment Zhang Yang's {God of War Trasnformation} period is over would be the moment where the boss instantly kills him!

Shoof!

The Vampiric Familiar swung one of his hands as blood began to ooze out of the Zhang Yang's chest. A red number popped right on top of Zhang Yang's head.

'-21,063!'

"My goodness! Are we battling an elite monster or a boss?" Endless Starlight let out a shocked scream.

"The Level Gap Suppression system is pretty awesome. The monster scored a triple damage!" Hundred Shots had certain understanding towards the data and statistics about the game, "If the monster can cause 5 times of it's average damage, then the damage on us would have been even greater!"

Han Ying Xue and Fantasy Sweetheart quickly activated their healing Skills on Zhang Yang to begin healing his HP bar back up. The HP bar of Zhang Yang was recovering swiftly.

Although there is a Level Gap Suppression on the party that causes the firepower of the party to reduce steeply, there is a saying - 'An elephant can be killed by a large number of mosquitoes'!. In less than 40 seconds, the Vampiric Familiar collapsed to the ground and died. Well, at least the monster dropped a couple of coins and a few pieces of [Spiritual Cloth].

"Killing one elite monster here is so tiring!" Daffodil Daydream complained as she looked at the countless Vampiric Familiars wandering around every corner of the manor.

"Let's do this!"

The party charged into the manor. Although the Level Gap Suppression was still in place, the monsters in the manor did not give the party much difficulty. After all, this party is possibly the best party in the entire world, at the current stage of the game. Even while their fire power is being restricted by the system, it only took them about 3 to 4 hours to slash all their way into the deepest area of the manor. The boss 'Vampire Count Ferra' that they were required to slay was located in a small garden.

[Vampire Count Ferra] (Ethereal, Spectre)

Level: 145

HP: 43,500,000

Defense: 9,410

Melee Attack: 53,216 - 61,216

Skills:

[Talon's Seduction: every time when hitting the target, 10% of damage dealt would be turned into HP points.

[Heal: The vampires have extraordinary healing abilities, heals 10,000 HP every 3 seconds.

[Vampiric Blood Drain: Transforms into little bats, each bat has 500,000 HP. The number of bats is based on the number of players engaged in the battle, multiplied by 2. Every player will receive the {Vampiric Blood Drain} from 2 little bats. Players will not receive any damage during the duration of this Skill. However, as long as one of the bats is still alive, the players will lose HP and die instantly on the moment when the duration of the Skill ends. Each player's death will contribute to 1% HP recovery of Ferra. The {Vampiric Blood Drain} will last for 30 seconds.

[Bat's Voyage: Transforms into a bat. Can fly in the air.

Note: The Vampire Count Ferra is said to be one of the oldest ancient Vampires. He is the progenitor of the Vampires' Strength!

After reading the description of {Vampiric Blood Drain}, everyone frowned intensely on the spot.

To empty out a total of 1,000,000 HP within 30 seconds, each of them must maintain their DPS at 33,000 damage! Putting the Level Gap Suppression aside, for now, even if they were battling monsters of equivalent levels at the moment, it would not be possible for them to reach such a high amount of DPS! Each of them could only reach 7,000 to 8,000, at most! Of course, everyone could also gather around and use their AoE Skills to clear the bats out, but the fact that each of the bats had a total of 500.000 HP would be quite the headache!

"Little Yang, why is this boss so insanely powerful?" Fatty Han was flabbergasted. Just as he was about to finish the final quest of his Inheritance Linking Quest, it had just only struck him that it is not possible for him to slay the final boss! Of course, he would feel frustrated and emotional!

This is an Ethereal boss, so it would not be an easy battle at all!

Zhang Yang shook his head and said, "This boss is Level 145. That means the developers had considered only letting players come and challenge this boss when they are at least Level 115. Players should get a whole set of Mythical Tier equipment first, before doing this! Under such consideration, it is only fair that each player only gets 30 seconds to empty out a total of 500,000 HP!"

After all, the game company had put this Level Suppression system in place to prevent players from going out of bounds. If players started getting too far ahead by themselves, the number of high level bosses would reduce very rapidly, and that would reduce the 'lifespan' of the game as well!

"So... are we still... doing this?" Fatty Han was asking, with a weak voice.

"Of course we are! Didn't you see that this is an Ethereal Tier boss? If we take him down, we can get another 'First Clear' title!' Zhang Yang laughed out loud, "So when the boss uses {Vampiric Blood Drain} later, we'll just gather around and use our AoE Skills at the same time. It would still be possible to clear out those bats within the time frame!"

"Let's try it out now!" Zhang Yang waved his [Heaven Shaker] around to loosen up his joints, and then he activated his {God of War Transformation} and activated his {God of War's Shield}. As two divine wings sprouted out of his back, Zhang Yang looked like a god that has just descended from the heavens. As he began to charge at the boss, he threw out his {Spear of Obliteration,} as usual.

'-44,520!'

After activating his {God of War Transformation}, Zhang Yang had a total of 575% additional damage. Theoretically, he should be able to cause approximately 90,000 damage to the boss. However, because of the Level Gap Suppression function of the game, Zhang Yang could only cause 50% of his initial damage. Although the amount of damage that he dealt was still terrifying, Zhang Yang was still unhappy about the significant weakening of his power!

"Hahaha! Live creatures setting foot in my territory! Are you those Dragon Slayers or the Master of Justice who are trying to become famous by killing me?" This Count looked noble and dignified. He was dressed in a pale, gold tux. He had that handsome, nobleman vibe to his appearance. His fingers were fine and dainty.

With a leap, the Count leaped midair and he transformed into a giant bat, gliding towards Zhang Yang. He reached out with his right hand. All of a sudden, all five of his fingernails shot out, like 5 blood-coated switchblades. It was a horrific scene!

"What a handsome boss!"

"Agreed! What a manly man!"

"If this man can ride on a white horse, then he can really be a Prince Charming!"

Han Ying Xue, Daffodil Daydream, and Fantasy Sweetheart instantly started gossiping as they began to talk about how handsome and attractive the boss was.

Wei Yan Er stared at the boss for a brief moment, and then she suddenly said, "I know why the boss does not have a white horse to ride! Because he has sucked the white horse dry! Hahaha!" After that, she began to laugh on. The little brat had a terrible sense of dry humor, and started rolling on the floor, laughing. But after seeing that no one was laughing with her, she stopped and frowned, and then she said, "What a bunch of boring people!"

'-104291!'

'10429!'

As the boss' claws raked through his flesh, Zhang Yang received a horrifying amount of damage, while the effect of {Talon's Seduction} kicked in and healed the boss by more than 10,000 HP!

"Oh my lord! Zhang Yang already has more than 10,000 Defense when he is transformed, and he also has a 40% Passive Damage Immunity! So if the damage of one hit from the boss is that high, wouldn't regular Zhang Yang be dead already?"Lost Dream could not help but to scream in shock.

Indeed, even after Zhang Yang activated his {Vitality Aura}, he would still only have a total amount of 118,720 HP. If Zhang Yang did not have the 20% additional Passive Damage Immunity that the {God of War's Shield} provided, even with a full bar of health, he would still be instantly killed by the boss! Furthermore, that particular strike had only been buffed up by 3 layers of the game's damage oppression system, due to their differences in levels. If the boss had been lucky enough to roll 4 layers, or even 5 layers of the Damage Oppression buff, the damage would have been even more ridiculous!

Right after he hooked the boss's aggro onto him, everyone began to channel their damage output on the boss as they activated their powerful skills on the boss.

With their current healing capabilities, Han Ying Xue and Fantasy Sweetheart need not worry about whether they would waste mana on unnecessary healing, such as overhealing someone beyond their maximum hit points. This was because the attack of the boss is so powerful, that one strike from the boss would already inflict more than 60,000 damage! The highest damage that the boss could deal would be about 180,000 damage! It would be impossible for the two of them to overheal anyone or anything! The two of them could let loose on their healings!

Fortunately, the Skill {Block} could negate one third of the boss's damage. The stronger the attack of the boss, the more damage that {Block} would protect the player from! This has largely increased Zhang Yang's survival capability in a battle.

Generally speaking, the normal attack of the boss could cause about 100,000 damage. So, by excluding the effect of {Block} once in every 6 seconds, the DpS of the boss would reach up to 30,000 damage. On the other hand, the healing capabilities of Han Ying Xue and Fantasy Sweetheart have been weakened by the Level Gap Suppression of the game. The HP that they could heal every second only reached up to about 10,000 HP.

In other words, Zhang Yang was losing roughly 23,000HP every passing second!

The {God of War Transformation} has raised the Maximum HP by 40 times! However, even though Zhang Yang has over 4,748,800 HP at the moment while constantly using [Level 10 Potions] to heal himself while the healers are healing him, it would still be not enough at all to keep up with the boss! Now, the best and most powerful Skill would be the special effect of the [Titan Chest Plate]! By activating the {Shield Wall}, he could gain back 10% of his HP for every second!

Although the effect had already been nerfed, Zhang Yang still had a 50% rate of recovery. Plus, the effect of the [Titan Wall] extended the duration of the {Shield Wall} by 5 seconds! So, he can recover a total of 75% HP over 150 seconds. That would already cover back the gap that Han Ying Xue and Fantasy Sweetheart could not heal!

Therefore, theoretically speaking, Zhang Yang should be able to hold his own the boss!

Obviously, that would only be true if the attacks of the boss stayed consistent at the rate of causing 3 times its initial damage. But, if the boss suddenly hits the jackpot and inflicts a damage 5 times harder than the boss initially does, the outcome would be totally different. Furthermore, Zhang Yang's {God of War Shield} would only last for 10 minutes. After that, he would lose 20% of his Passive Damage Immunity!

Of course, Zhang Yang still had the {Radiance of the God of War} which he could use once in every 30 minutes. He would barely be able to make up for the 20% Passive Damage Immunity that he loses, after the effect of the {God of War Shield} fades.

Chapter 519: A Fierce Battle with an Ethereal Boss

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhang Yang acted without hesitation as he threw the {Glare of the Death God} on the boss.

For every passing second, his mind only thought of whether the 2-hour 'transformation' duration was enough for him to make his plan work. The cooldown period for the {Glare of the Death God} was only 60 minutes. So, he can actually use the Skill twice two times while he is still in his 'transformed' form. Henceforth, he would use {Glare of the Death God} immediately! Well, who knows whether he could really time it right by then. If he can throw a third {Glare of the Death God} on the boss in between that one split second before the 2-hour long {God of War Trasnformation} Skill is over, while the boss only has 10% HP remaining on him, then Zhang Yang might stand a better chance at slaying the boss!

Zhang Yang was really lucky this time. The {Glare of the Death God} could not be resisted by the boss. A large dark skull appeared right on top of the boss's head in just an instant!

Although this was the first time many of them had witnessed this Skill, they had already heard from Zhang Yang himself about how powerful this Skill is. Within the 10-second period of time, everyone no longer tried to hit as hard as they could, instead, they were hitting as fast as they could, in order to increase the number of hits on the boss. The main reason was that everyone understood how the {Glare of the Death God} works. They just wanted to increase the rate of triggering the special effect of the Skill, by increasing their attack rate!

'-450,000!'

'-450,000!'

...

The eight DPS players with a bunch of [Pets, 4 powerful Battle Companions (The other two belonging to Lost Dream and Daffodil Daydream, however, the initial Tiers of their Battle Companions are only Yellow-Gold Tier), and 7 [Servants] were all trying hard to hit the boss as frequently as possible, without thinking about their damage output! Their attack rate was really off the charts, causing the special effect of {Glare of the Death God} to trigger consecutively! All 10 chances of triggering the special effect were used up within 5 seconds!

"You bastard! How is it possible that you know the Special Skill of the Hell's Lord!" Ferra let out a raging roar as he launched his assaults madly towards Zhang Yang with his 10 finger nails, looking like 'blades of hell'.

"Hahaha! I am the representative of the Hell's Lord in this realm. Little Vampire Ferra, surrender yourself and pledge your allegiance to me!" Zhang Yang laughed out loud as he swung his 'hammer' at the boss.

"Impossible! The Hell's Lord has already fallen! Human, give me the secret Skill of the Hell's Lord. Then, I shall consider turning you into one of my undead familiars, instead of turning you into a dried corpse!" the boss threatened Zhang Yang.

Fatty Han could not help but to feel shocked. After thinking about it, he said, "Little Yang, if only we could all get this Skill and take our turns to use it on a boss, they would all be dead in no time!"

Zhang Yang laughed and said, "I am guessing that this Skill only drops once in the entire game. If everyone could farm for this Skill and learn it, then all boss battles will become too easy!"

The moment when the {Glare of the Death God} ended, the damage output of the party went back to normal again. The boss had over 10,000 defense. Even if they used 5 layers of{Cripple Defense} on him, he would still have about 5,000 Defense. Furthermore, Zhang Yang and his party members had been weakened by the Level Gap Suppression function of the game, making the total damage output of the whole party so poor that it was painful to look at! Their total DpS was only about 10,000 damage. Furthermore, the boss also had two HP recovery Skills, {Talon's Seduction} and {Heal}, making the boss even more difficult to kill! The HP bar of the boss was reducing extremely gradually!

"Haha! You utterly useless beings, are no match for me!" Ferra let out a series of words that trembled as he extended his claws out even further. He slashed at the shield of Zhang Yang and sent Zhang Yang flying in the opposite direction. It was fortunate that Zhang Yang gains the ability to fly when he transforms himself into the form of the {God of War Transformation}. So, he instantly flew straight back up to the boss and continued to battle the boss.

The Level Gap Suppression function of the game is really extremely annoying!

Even though the {God of War Transformation} is a very powerful Skill, but Zhang Yang still felt that he was being oppressed by the boss! Back in his life, Zhang Yang had once taken out a Violet-Platinum boss, together with hundreds of its minions when he first transformed as a King Kong. It really felt awesome of him to feel so powerful for the first time!

However, standing before an Ethereal boss made him feel weak again, as if he was being 'shrunk' back to his previous power level!

Well, this is what happens to players when they do not heed the warnings and go on doing an Exceed Level Challenge! Players should be at least Level 115 before challenging Vampire Count Ferra. But, Zhang Yang and his party had insisted on challenging the boss now. Well, who are you kidding? Of course this boss battle is not going to be easy!

"Living beings, tremble before my shadows!" Ferra suddenly turned into a blur, and his body was transformed into 20 little bats, These bats then swarmed up towards the 10 players.

[Ferra's Incarnation] (Normal, Special Creature)

Level: 145

HP: 500,000

Defense: 0

Attack: 0

Skills:

[Blood Drain: Drains the blood of the target, will die after 30 seconds and recovers 1% health for Ferra.

These bats were basically unstoppable. All of them charged at everyone as they started to bite at their necks, faces, wrists and other spots that were not covered and protected by equipment.

Without the need to inform them, everyone stood together in one same spot and activated their AoE Skills.

{Horizontal Sweep}

'-98221!'

'-56860!'

'-37984!'

'-20304!'

...

The 20 little bats were receiving different amount of damages at same time. However, the amount of the damages were that were inflicted upon the bats differed greatly.

Zhang Yang let out a gentle humph. With a golden light gushing out of his entire body, Zhang Yang struck out with his {God Of War's Crushing Strike}!

'-28,970!'

'-28,970!'

...

He initially has about 1,000 points of Strength attribute. But after he switched up to the [Mysterious Metallic Greaves, he had acquired an additional of 1,201 Strength attribute. And after he added the power of 4 [Gemstones] onto his equipment, together with the 10% increment on his Strength that Wei Yan Er's {Strength Aura} provided, Zhang Yang's Strength attribute had reached up to a total of 2,897 points!

Unfortunately, the damage of {God of War's Crushing Strike} would not be affected by any additional damage effects that are added to the player. However, the Chaos Damage that is 10 times of the Strength Attributes would not be affected by Armor Defense and Magic Defense of the target, not even the Level Gap Suppression effect. The Skill will perform as it always would, without any loss of power!

Although Zhang Yang could only accumulate 1 point of 'God of War Energy Point' every 10 seconds, allowing the {God of War Crushing Strike} to be available for dispatching every 30 seconds, but Zhang Yang did not have any other Skills that would require the usage of the 'God of war Energy Point'. So, after battling the boss for another 5 minutes, he had succeeded in accumulating a total of 30 'God of War Energy Points'. That amount of Energy Points would be enough for Zhang Yang to activate the {God of war Crushing Strike} 10 times!

After the 1-second Global Cool Down Period, Zhang Yang activated another {God of War Crushing Strike} once again, and caused about 30,000 damage to all the bats within his Skill's attack range!

"Wow! What sorcery is this? A player can become so bloody powerful after using a 'Transformation' Skill!" Endless Starlight was looking at Zhang Yang in admiration, and then he said, "Boss, help me get the Class S Inheritance for Knights! I too, want to feel the rush of a 'Transformation' Skill!"

"Endless Starlight, you can stop thinking about the 'Transformation' part, you're already a pervert in transformation form! It's more practical that way!" Fatty Han laughed out loud.

Zhang Yang activated his {God of War Crushing Strike} 9 consecutive times, and after he was done with the skill, his {Horizontal Sweep} had also cooled down. So, he struck with his {Horizontal Sweep} and caused another wave of damage onto the bats! Unfortunately for Zhang Yang, now that he did not possess the special effect of his [Sword of Purging Devourer}, the damage values only popped out on top of the bats, once.

However, the impact of the {God of War Crushing Strike} was amazing! After 10 consecutive times of activation, the 'God of War Energy Points' of Zhang Yang was depleted. But at the same time, every monster around him was inflicted with about 300,000 damage! Meanwhile, Felice spat her flames from midair. After her 10-second {Pulverizing Flame}, she had also caused about 10,000 damage to every one of the bats. However, the {Pulverizing Flame} had a cool down period of 30 seconds. So, Felice could only attack one enemy at a time!

After about 15 seconds later, all the bats were left with only about 100,000 HP! However, the {God of War Crushing Strike} was not available at the moment. So the damage that Zhang Yang could deal to the bats had sharply reduced!

"Dummy, should we use our {Blizzard Sky} and {Luna's Dew}?" Han Ying Xue asked.

The paired skills {Blizzard Sky} and {Luna's Dew} did Chaos Damage, so they would not be affected by the Level Gap Suppression function of the game. They should be able to deal 5,000 damage for every second and inflict a total damage of 75,000 to each of the little bats in the remaining 15 seconds. With other party members supporting them with their attacks as well, they should be able to clear out the bats with ease!

Zhang Yang shook his head immediately. The boss battle was only beginning. Having no idea on how many time the boss might use his {Vampiric Blood Drain}, if they really used up their paired skills this early in the battle, then how are they going to survive the next round of such attacks? Their paired skills had a cool down period of 72 hours!

Everyone was trying their best at maximizing their damage output as they gulped down bottles of [Power Potions] whenever they could!

On the 20th second, Zhang Yang activated another {Horizontal Sweep} with his long, quarterstaff-like hammer, striking out the best AOE attack skill that he had. Instantly, another wave of damage values popped out on top of the bats, at the same time! A few of them were killed by the attack wave!

{Thunder Strike}!

In his transformed mode, even the {Thunder Strike} could reach up to 20,000 basic damage. But unfortunately, because of the Level Gap Suppression function of the game, the {Thunder Strike} could not reach the expected amount of damage. The bats only received about 10,000 damage, a small number of them was only inflicted with about 2,000 damage!

However, the remaining HP bar of the bats were already rather low. Under the aggressive assault of Zhang Yang's party, quite a number of them were falling off from the body of Zhang Yang's party members as they died.

25 seconds, 7 bats remaining!

26 seconds, 5 bats remaining!

27 seconds, 3 bats remaining!

28 seconds, 1 bat remaining!

On the 29th second, the last bat had finally fallen off the body of Endless Starlight!

After the 30th second, the bats that were on the ground suddenly came back to life as they flew up and reformed back into the middle-age gentleman. Ferra let out a deafening roar, and then he dashed towards Zhang Yang, aiming at his neck.

They had succeeded in surviving one of the deadly skills of the boss!

Everyone let out a breath of relief as their confidence increased! Zhang Yang currently had more than 4,000,000 amount of HP, giving him a much larger margin of error. The two healers could even close their eyes and simply focus on healing Zhang Yang without the need to worry about inefficient healing. They also need not worry about the fact that any slight delay of their healing skills might cause Zhang Yang to be instantly killed!

It was very hard to judge whether this battle was a tough one or an easy one. As long as they can kill all the bats within the time frame of 30 seconds, they should be able to empty out the total amount of 45,000,000 HP of the boss within two hours!

Well, killing the bats within the time frame is interrelated to emptying out the long HP bar of the boss! Because if any of the players cannot kill the bats within the time frame, they would die, and contribute in healing the HP of the boss back up! If that happens, Zhang Yang and his party member would not stand a chance at slaying the boss within the limited time period!

10 minutes, 20 minutes, 50 minutes!

The boss had already used his {Vampiric Blood Drain} for more than 10 times, but the party had managed to kill all the little bats within the time frame! They managed to do that all, thanks to the {God of War's Crushing Strike} that Zhang Yang has. The impact of the strikes really do pack a punch. The damage that the Skill can cause took up half of the total damage output of the party! Han Ying Xue and the rest of the party members saw the potential of having an [Inheritance, and were even more motivated to get their own Inheritances!

60 minutes!

The cool down period of the {Glare of the Death God} was finally over, Zhang Yang activated the Skill once more.

'Ineffective!'

But Zhang Yang was out of luck this time. The moment when the Skill was thrown onto the boss, a large word popped up right above the head of Count Ferra.

"Sun of the beach!"

"Bad luck I guess!"

"This is outrageous!"

Fatty Han and the others immediately complained the moment they saw the letters!

The boss still had 52% HP at that current moment!

Chapter 520: 'First Clear' of Ethereal Tier Boss

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Truth be told, out of the 48% HP that they had taken off, 10% of it was the additional 'bonus' provided by the {Glare of the Death God}. This would indirectly mean that Zhang Yang and his party members were only capable of reducing 38% of the boss's HP bar in an hour! Based on their current performance, the boss would still have 14% HP remained on him when Zhang Yang's {God of War Transformation} wears off!

By then, Zhang Yang should be able to use another {Glare of the Death God}. As long as it takes effect, they should still stand a chance at bringing the HP bar of the boss down to 4%.

Still, 4% of such an HP of such magnitude is still a ridiculously large sum. According to the current total DPS of Zhang Yang and his party members, they would still need to go all out for 6 minutes, before they could empty out that hypothetical 4%. Without the {God of War Transformation}, it begs the question of whether Zhang Yang and gang would even survive for 30 seconds. So a duration of 6 minutes is really a long time for them!

Furthermore, what happens if the {Glare of the Death God} does not work? What then?

Battling super powerful bosses are heavily luck-based ventures! For instance, if the second {Glare of the death God} manages to take effect, then the boss should only have 4% HP remaining on him when Zhang Yang's {God of War Transformation} fades away. The [Zombie Potions] should be able to take care of the remaining 4%!

If not, they would really be in big trouble!

Although they still had their super Skills {Dance of the Heaven and Earth}, 100,000 damage would only scratch the boss!

Going all out!

Zhang Yang and his gang did not have the luxury to even think about saving cost, or weighing the pros and cons of anything! They took all sorts of [Potions] like there was no tomorrow! Within the 2-hour time frame of the {God of War Transformation}, they continuously spammed the skills over again and again -- immediately right after the cool down period, they would just activate their Skills in an attempt to maximize their damage output as efficiently as possible! Every single one of them understood, that if they failed this time, they would have to wait for another 3 days before they can challenge this boss again!

-- without the support of the {God of War Transformation}, they would merely be insects cowering before the boss!

10 minutes before the {God of War Transformation} ended, the HP of the boss dropped down to the remaining 20%.

Under the effects of [Power Potions, everyone decided that it was the right moment to activate their super Skills. They chose the right timing to do so, and began to channel their damage towards the boss at the very last moment.

{Dance of the Heaven and Earth}!

'-14,000'

'-14,000'

...

Other than Fantasy Sweetheart, the other nine members in the party activated their {Dance of the Heaven and Earth}! Zhang Yang had also activated his {Chaotic Dance of Electric Current} to boost the damage output of the entire party! However, the damage that {Chaotic Dance of Electric Current} could deal had been greatly diminished, due to the Level Gap Suppression function of the game. {Dance of the Heaven and Earth} inflicts Chaos Damage while {Chaotic Dance of Electric Current} inflicts Nature damage. {Chaotic Dance of Electric Current} performed much poorer than {Dance of the Heaven and Earth} in this case!

10 seconds later, the boss had lost about 1,500,000 HP.

16% HP remaining!

Without having a second thought, Zhang Yang activated all of his remaining powerful Skills on the boss. Since his Rage Bar would always be filled to the brim, Zhang Yang had no worries about having not enough Rage Points to use.

'-401988!' {Killing Cleave}

'-94212!' {Horizontal Sweep}!

'-198422!' {Destructive Smash}!

'-48222!' {Frost Strike}!

Even though Zhang Yang had landed quite a number of Critical Attacks, his damage output was still affected by the Level Gap Suppression function of the game, making it impossible to reach his maximum damage output. But, his current damage was already pretty satisfying, especially his {Killing Cleave}! An attack that could reach up to a 400,000 damage could really leave people stunned with their jaws hanging wide open!

This is the power of an [Inheritance]!

Everyone was amazed by it! Fatty Han was anxious and worried at the same time. He was beginning to imagine the glory on him after he gets his [Inheritance]. But at the same time, he was worried that all of their efforts might go to waste if they fail to take down this super boss!

15%, 14%, 13%!

The {God of War Transformation} was nearing its end!

Without any hesitation, Zhang Yang activated {Shield Wall} the moment the {God of War Transformation} was over.

'-58,417!'

Zhang Yang frowned intensely. He had still received so much damage with his {Shield Wall} active! Without the {Shield Wall}, this strike would have definitely dealt over 200,000 damage! He would have been instantly killed!

After tanking the boss for another 14 seconds, the cooldown period for {Glare of the Death God} was finally over. Zhang Yang prayed deep down his heart as he threw another {Glare of the Death God} onto the boss! If this takes effect, they still had a chance of finishing this! Or else, they would have to die and come back again after 3 days!

Shoof! A shrouding dark skull began to form on top of the boss!

It was a success!

Everyone was cheering in joy, as they now stood a chance at bringing down the boss!

'-450000!'

'-450000!'

...

The HP bar of the boss started dropping rapidly, 1% at a time.

"You bastard! It's that skill again!" Ferra let out a raging roar into the sky. He was so furious that his very face itself started twisting up into a knot, "I shall exterminate you! Exterminate every one of you tiny little insects! To actually push me this far, you all must die!"

"Hey witch! Come! It's time to use our paired Skills!" Zhang Yang quickly shouted to Han Ying Xue.

Han Ying Xue nodded, and she directed her Flying Mount [Bumblebee] towards Zhang Yang. She jumped off her [Mount] and stood by Zhang Yang's side.

The two of the held their hands together as they activated their {Blizzard Sky} and {Luna's Dew}!

'Immune'! 'Immune'!

The word 'Immune' kept popping out on the top of Zhang Yang's head as the boss continuously raked at Zhang Yang with its claws. On the other side of things, the boss was receiving a steady stream of 5,000 Chaos Damage numbers!

30 seconds passed, and the bombardment of the {Blizzard Sky} and {Luna's Dew} finally stopped. The boss reached out with his claws and gave Zhang Yang two powerful slashes! The first hit caused 100,000 damage, while the second hit caused 240,000 damage, killing Zhang Yang in an instant!

However, a white holy light flashed across Zhang Yang's entire body, and he got back on his feet immediately -- {Rise Anew}!

However, without the support of the {God of War Transformation}, Zhang Yang was like a piece of wet paper standing right before the boss! The boss killed him again with another strike that caused 250,000 damage! Still, it was not over, and Zhang Yang got back to his feet for the second time -- the [Zombie Potion]!

Although the [Zombie Potion] allows players to continue fighting for the next 30 seconds after they die, players would no longer be able to retain the aggro of the boss. The boss immediately turned away, turning himself into a bat, and arrived right on Felice in just a blink of an eye. His claws penetrade all the way through her chest.

'-248,128!'

'24,812!'

Blood oozed out from the chest wound of Felice as she turned into a white ball of light and flew back into the Battle Companion Slot within Zhang Yang's inventory. At the same time, she dropped a level back to Level 103. She remained curled up in a fetal position as she lay quietly in the Battle Companion Slot. Zhang Yang would have to wait for another 10 minutes before he could summon Felice again.

"Haha! A bunch of weak imbeciles! I'm bored!" Ferra was finally beginning to display the power of an Ethereal boss! He started going on a killing spree as one after the other falls.

Wei Yan Er, Sun Xin Yu, Lost Dream... every single one of them did not stand a chance at all. They were instantly killed by the boss! Fortunately, all of them had already taken a [Zombie Potion] prior to the battle! So, they were able to continue fighting for another 30 seconds after dying. The best part about this 30-second extension was that they would all be invincible for 30 seconds!

At that moment, the boss only had 1% HP remaining! That was only a total of 260,000 HP!

250,000, 240,000... 190,000! The effect of the [Zombie Potion] faded, and Zhang Yang was the first to collapse onto the ground. This time, he lay on the ground for good!

180,000!

150,000!

140,000!

Wei Yan Er sunk to the ground dead.

130,000!

110,000!

90,000!

Sun Xin Yu collapsed!

"Damage output! Damage output! We can finish this!" the gang shouted encouragements to each other as they started the sprint to the finish!

70,000!

50,000!

30,000!

10,000!

8,272!

3,711!

One by one, they hit the ground in dramatic fashion, as one by one, their [Zombie Potion] effects faded! The only one left standing was Fantasy Sweetheart!

{Punishment Ray}!

'-2,311!'

"We are so close!"

"Go, go, Sweetheart!"

Fantasy Sweetheart swung her arms with all her might, trying her best to cast another {Punishment Ray}! That was literally the final thing she could do in that boss battle! Her own [Zombie Potion] ran out of time, and she too joined her comrades in death.

'-2,212!'

"Argh --" the boss let out a deafening roar to the skies as his slender body began to fall. As his body hit the ground heavily, the dust on the ground flew up.

"We did it! We really did it!"

Everyone was cheering through the party channel.

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

This kill has finally been recognized by the system! Thank god! Praise the lord!

Zhang Yang quickly entered the habitual 'Advertisement Slogan', and the Server started to repeat the announcement over again and again. In just a few seconds, Snow Seeker and Sky Shaman, followed by other players from other guilds began to congratulate Zhang Yang. At that moment, Zhang Yang could not even see anything in front of him, because the new messages kept on popping up right before his face.

"Haha! Everyone, quickly! We must get back to our dead bodies and resurrect ourselves first! Loot, don't forget the loot!" Zhang Yang laughed madly as he selected the option to release his soul. The, he began to sprint all the way back to his dead body!

While running back to his dead body, Zhang Yang could not help but to let out a sigh. He could not help but to think that, even though he already has the [God of War Inheritance, he had still struggled against such powerful bosses! If he had not come across the divinely powerful skill {Glare of the Death God}, it would have been impossible to slay the boss with just the 10 of them!

Well, it was very tiring indeed to do an Exceed Level Challenge in slaying a boss. Furthermore, this Vampire Count was not really that powerful. He did have the {Vampiric Blood Drain}, a rather considerable AoE attack. But, this Skill was rather unique, as it was basically a ticking time bomb! As long as players slay all the monsters within the given time frame, the party would not be harmed in any way, and they would also get a 30-second window to regroup!

The King Kong boss that Zhang Yang had slain in his previous life was even more annoying and harder to deal with. The boss would randomly shake the ground and throw rocks at the players without any sign of warning! If it is up for Zhang Yang to judge, he would say that the difficulty of this boss battle would be about as difficult as getting a Class C [Inheritance].

7 minutes later, all 10 of them had managed to resurrect themselves. All of them sat down and started taking some [Snacks] to recover. Meanwhile, Wei Yan Er was the first to go up to the boss to check on the loot.

Although this was a legitimate 'First Clear', the boss had been ridiculously stingy. Only a total of two equipment were found on the ground. One was a violet necklace, while the other one was a dark-gray leather helmet. Everyone was soon feeling depressed and disappointed.

Zhang Yang shook his head and said, "This is probably the system's way of telling us not to simply go through an Exceed Level Challenge! Still, it doesn't really matter if loot is measly. We can always get more of them in the future. The most important thing about 'First Clears' are the additional rewards like [Skill Books]!"

"Hehe, noob tank sure is sharp as always! You got me!" Wei Yan Er took out two [Skill Books] and said, "There are two of these [Skill Books] and three [Middle-Tier Aura Stones]!"

"Yan Er, stop being such a tease! Just show us their attributes already!"

Wei Yan Er giggled. After picking up all the coins, she picked up the dark-violet necklace and said, "Can you guess what Tier this equipment is? A Mythical, or an Ethereal?"

[Violet Coral Necklace] (Ethereal, Necklace)

Vitality: 1,089

Intelligence: 373

Spirit: 373

Equip: Increases damage and healing efficiency by 5.6%.

Equip: Increases Maximum HP by 2,000 points.

Equip: Increases Maximum MP by 740 points.

Equip: Absorbs 321 damage when struck.

{Unidentified}

Required Level: 140

Special: Reduces 20 levels of the Required Level.

"Wow! This is one awesome piece of equipment that we have here!" Fatty Han's eyes were popping out, "A Level 140 equipment that can be equipped when player reaches Level 120! You know how amazing that is? Furthermore, this equipment boosts both HP and MP, while also boosting damage and it even giving players the ability to absorb damage! This necklace has basically covered all aspects of combat!"

"Indeed!" Zhang Yang nodded. It would indeed be a major advantage if a Level 120 player can equip a Level 140 equipment. The player that equips this equipment would no doubt have the upper hand over other players of the same Level (Level 120)! This is one of the 'First Clear' rewards, so it makes sense that such a powerful equipment would be dropped. Well, for the moment, there is no other better equipment that boosts both the offense and defense of players!

Han Ying Xue, Daffodil Daydream, and Fantasy Sweetheart automatically rolled dices, as if it was a daily ritual. Ironically, they knew each other so well that there was no need for pleasantries anymore. By the end of it, Fantasy Sweetheart was the one who got lucky and she acquired the amazing necklace.

The next equipment was the dark-gray leather helmet.

[Blackhawk Leather Helmet] (Ethereal, Leather Armor)

Defense: 192

Vitality: 4,356

Strength: 645

Agility: 1,490

Equip: Increases Maximum HP by 8,700 points.

Equip: Increases damage and healing efficiency by 5.6%.

Equip: Absorbs 641 damage when being hit.

{Unidentified}

Required Level: 140

Special: Reduces 20 levels of the Required Level.

"What the hell! Is this a Leather Armor or a Heavy Armor!" Endless Starlight was so shocked that his voice had turned squeaky, "My Violet-Platinum Heavy Armor only gives me an additional 80 Defense! This piece of Leather Armor is too much! It actually adds 192 Defense! If my eyes aren't playing tricks with me, it also adds vitality points by more than 4,000 points! No, it's actually more than 4,000 HP!"

"This is an Ethereal Tier equipment, my friend!" Daffodil Daydream smiled, "Actually, it should give more than 6,000 vitality points after identification! One piece of such equipment would already provide about 60,000 HP... that amount is actually much higher than my current amount of HP!"

"That is why, people say that Levels and Equipment are keys to becoming successful in any online game!" Zhang Yang took the leather helmet over and said, "There are two Thief Classes and two Hunter Classes here, so, the four of you roll for it! Let's see who gets to keep this masterpiece! Forget the Ethereal Tier, the main point is that this equipment can be equipped, 20 levels earlier! That is more than just awesome already!"

Everyone had no reason to be polite to each other, as they had been party-mates since the beginning! So, the four of them rolled for it. By the end of it, Fatty Han was the one who struck the 'jackpot'! He had succeeded in acquiring the equipment!

However, it requires approximately 10 days or so just to level up once, after the Level 100 bracket. So, when Fatty Han reaches Level 120, it should be another 6 to 7 months in the future. Therefore, it would really be boring and frustrating to do an Exceed Level Challenge on higher level maps. They needed to pay for a bigger price, such as more effort needed to get things done, and they would also have to wait for a much longer time before they can equip any equipment they earn from doing so. After all, it is truly torturous to see a powerful piece of equipment lying quietly in your inventory, within your reach, but also out of your reach at the same time!

Chapter 521: The Vampire Inheritance

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

However, the last two [Skill Books] that the little brat picked up were much less capable of such torture.

Wei Yan Er took out the first [Skill Book] and pasted the name of the book onto the party channel. The Skill on the [Skill Book] is called {Vampiric Touch}. It is a Skill that was not limited to Classes. Everyone stands a chance to learn it.

Everyone rolled for it. The little brat was the one who got the [Skill Book]. After she learned the Skill and revealed the description for the Skill, Wei Yan Er posted the description of the Skill onto the party channel immediately.

[Vampiric Touch: Touches the target with the power of a Vampire! Lasts for 30 minutes. During the effective period, whenever the target receives any attack from the caster, 5% of the damage dealt by the caster would heal the caster's own party members (5 members at most). The caster can only place the spell on one target at a time. Furthermore, the healing effect of the {Vampiric Touch} would not generate additional aggro. Range: 30 meters. Cooldown: 60 seconds.

Zhang Yang could not help but laugh, and he said, "If only I knew the details about this skill, I would have learned it himself. Or maybe, Sun Xin Yu should have learned it. It's such a waste to give this to the little brat!"

Wei Yan Er was enraged and yelled at Zhang Yang, "Noob tank! I'm also a powerful DPS myself, you know it!"

Zhang Yang shook his head and said, "What power are you talking about? The power of your poor chest? I can't seem to see any power whatsoever!"

"You!" Wei Yan Er was so angry that she kept stomping the ground, "That's because I haven't hit puberty yet! My mum's chest was ginormous! Just like my aunt's! If you don't believe it, you can ask sister Snow! Humph! Humph! I have inherited excellent genes! You shall regret the day you underestimated me! I shall grow a pair of boobs that are larger than sister Snow's! Just wait and see!"

Everyone could only try their best not to laugh. Well, most of them were covering their mouths and faces, physically stopping themselves from laughing.

Zhang Yang looked at her and nodded, "Little brat, just forget about that unrealistic fantasy of yours and accept the truth!"

"Pui! You bastard!" Wei Yan Er decided to huff off the loot. Then, she picked the other [Skill Book] up and pasted the name of the book onto the party channel.

[Skill Book: Destroyer's Madness]

Use: Teaches you the {Destroyer's Madness}.

Required Class: None

Required Level: 100

'Huh? Another [Skill Book] that does not have any required Class?" Everyone was curious and confused a little at the same time. Ever since they had entered the Chaos Realm, they had come across numerous [Skill Books] that did not have Class Requirements. Does this mean that every [Skill Book] in the Chaos Realm could be learned by anyone, blurring the lines between the Classes in the game?

Zhang Yang shook his head and said, "Well, this Skill can support those with [Inheritances] below Class C. So, this Skill will only serve its purpose until you guys get your [Inheritances]. I suggest that you guys get a Class B [Inheritance] at the very least. So, concerning this Skill, since it wouldn't really matter much, let's roll and see who gets it."

"Silly Yu, what does this Skill do?" Han Ying Xue asked out of curiosity.

Zhang Yang smiled vaguely at her and said, "Whoever learns this, just post it up on our party channel later for everyone to see!"

The little brat got it again. The little brat was so full of herself that she threw a supercilious look at Zhang Yang. After learning the Skill, the little brat posted the description up on the party channel.

[Destroyer's Madness: Upon activating the Skill, additional 50% increase in Attack. Lasts for 2 hours. Cooldown: 72 hours. This skill shares the same Global Cool Down with 'Inheritance Transformation'.

"Only Class S, Class A, Class B and Class C have the 'Inheritance Transformation'. So this {Destroyer's Madness} here is designed to cover the disadvantages of the [Inheritance] Classes that are lower than Class C!" Zhang Yang explained.

Fatty Han had already acquired the quest items that he needed to complete his quest. Right after distributing the 3 pieces of [Middle-tier Aura Stones] among themselves, they tore their [Teleportation Scrolls] and traveled back to Morning Town. All of them agreed on one thing, that they will never repeat something as idiotic thing as performing an Exceed Level Challenge! It was suffering that they did not need in the first place!

Well, by doing an Exceed Level Challenge to kill a boss that is of much more higher level than you will earn the 'First Clear' title for the dungeon, or for slaying the boss. Other than that, you get nothing else. Firstly, you might not prevail. Even if you manage to slay the boss and get your hands on some pretty powerful equipment, you would still need to wait until your level is high enough to equip them! Finally, an Exceed Level Challenge is just too d*mn difficult! Zhang Yang and his party had only managed to slay the Vampire Count Ferra because they were lucky. According to the system of the game, when players engages a boss that has Level Gap Suppression over them, rate of Spell type Skills affecting the bosses would be as low as only 10%! However, out of three times, the effect of {Glare of the Death God} got triggered twice! Zhang Yang had been ridiculously lucky, back there! So, counting on such luck would not be reliable, either! As it is, nobody should be fighting above their weight class in this game!

However, the 'First Clear' for this boss had rewarded every single one of them with an additional Luck Attribute Point. Currently, Zhang Yang has accumulated up to a total of 23 Luck Attribute Points. No doubt, that amount was otherworldly.

Fatty Han did not get the [Vampire Inheritance] right away after slaying the boss. He still had some leftover quests to take care of before he can actually complete the entire Linking Quest. But they were all simple quests, so it wasn't really a big deal for him.

Endless Starlight, on the other hand, had witnessed how powerful a player becomes after obtaining a high-class [Inheritance]. He could uphold the 'oath' that he took previously, and begged Zhang Yang to aid him in getting a battle-type [Inheritance] for him. Well, according to Endless Starlight himself, he wasn't asking for much, he only wanted a Class B [Inheritance]!

Zhang Yang could not help but frown intensely. Fine, Class S [Inheritances] was definitely out of the picture, as there were only 6 of them in the entire game. Meanwhile, all Class A [Inheritances] was as well hidden as Class S [Inheritances, which would be very difficult to obtain. Even Zhang Yang had no idea on how to obtain any of the Class A [Inheritances]!

That would leave the Class B [Inheritance] as the last option then!

But truth to be told, in Zhang Yang's previous life, the most popular and prevalent [Inheritances] were the Class B [Inheritances]. But to assume that Class B [Inheritance] are easy to acquire, would be total bullsh*t! Although Class B [Inheritances] are not one-of-a-kind, each fragment of the [Inheritance] is unique. For example, if the first player acquires a piece of the fragment in Morning Town, Morning Town will never spawn a second fragment of the same piece!

In other words, other players cannot acquire the fragment from the same location, or the same quest, or the same monster. So, players cannot repeat the steps taken by the first player. Or else, everyone would be able to obtain the same [Inheritance, and Class B [Inheritances] would all become valueless!

As he gazed into the idiotic face of Endless Starlight, Zhang Yang started telling him the method of obtaining the [Kong Inheritance]. With Endless Starlight's current level of skills, Zhang Yang believed that Endless Starlight would still manage it without many problems -- of course, other than battling that terrifyingly powerful boss, the King Kong Lord!

Zhang Yang was also having doubts about himself. Even the with {God of War's Transformation}, because of the Level Gap Suppression function of the game, he would still be unable to defeat the boss! To acquire the [Kong Inheritance, it would be better for them to reach Level 120 first.

Initially, if Zhang Yang did not have the knowledge of his previous life, he might end up obtaining his first Fragment of an [Inheritance] three months later. With all the preliminary quests before the final quest that required players to battle the boss, players should be able to reach Level 110. By then, players should be able to remove the Level Gap Suppression function of the game.

After Zhang Yang took care of the Vampire Count Ferra, the remaining 'errand' quests of Fatty Han's [Inheritance] Linking Quest were not difficult at all. In just two days time, the fatty had stepped up the figurative podium, triumphantly declaring that he has officially obtained the [Vampire Inheritance]!

On the spot, he posted the series of Skills that he had acquired from his new [Vampire Inheritance]. All members of the gang, other than Zhang Yang were drooling at the Skills.

[Bloodthirst: Increases 40% damage dealt.

[Immortal Constitution: Transforms into an immortal subject, providing 5% additional Passive Damage Immunity. Recover 1% of HP in every 10 seconds. Lasts for 10 minutes. Cool down: 60 minutes.

[Vampire Transformation: Transforms into a Vampire. Increases initial Maximum HP by a multiplier of 20 times. Increases initial Defense by a multiplier of 3 times. There is a 70% rate to be immune to Magic Damage. Increases initial Attack by a multiplier of 3 times. When you are in the {Vampire Transformation} form, you will acquire 1 Vampire Energy Point every 10 seconds. Some of your Special Skills would require Vampire Energy Points to be used. The {Vampire Transformation} lasts for 2 hours. Cooldown: 72 hours.

[Bat Form: Disperses yourself into 10 little bats. These bats will then approach and stick themselves onto targets and begin draining their blood. Recovers 1% HP every second. These blood-sucking little bats can fly. However, they are very weak, and can easily be killed. Reintegrating yourself would allow you to recover additional HP depending on the amount of blood that the bats manage to drain. {Bat Form} requires Vampire Energy Points to operate, 1 Vampire Energy Point can prolong the duration by 1 second. The {Bat Form} will be over when the Vampire Energy Bar is depleted, or when all of the little bats have been killed. Cooldown: 30 minutes.

Currently, Fatty Han only had 4 [Vampire Inheritance] Skills. Of course, his [Inheritance] was no match for Zhang Yang's [God of War Inheritance, however, it was enough for Fatty Han to brag about! The wretched fatty went straight to the arena as he pulled Endless Starlight and Lost Dream along. He then tested out the transformation on the first opponent in the first match they got into, subjecting the poor soul through great! Well, at least he was having fun.

Zhang Yang could not help but laugh at that fatty. What a ridiculous joke! The {Vampire Transformation} can only be used once in every three days! This fatty had actually used it to show off in the arena during a duel! Zhang Yang was truly struck speechless.

But even without the {Vampire Transformation}, Fatty Han had attained another level in terms of DPS. With just the additional Skill {Bloodthirst}, Fatty Han's damage had gone way up -- and because the Vampire Count Ferra had a very high amount of Defense, the 40% increase in Fatty Han's attack wasn't exactly 40%! In other words, the damage output of Fatty Han would definitely be much higher on players, monsters, and other bosses, besides Vampire Count Ferra.

Therefore, Zhang Yang kicked Fatty Han straight over to the Dungeon Expedition Force of Lone Desert Smoke to explore the Dragon Throat Fortress together with Hundred Shots.

Dragon Throat Fortress was a Level 100 Dungeon, and only a few final bosses in the dungeon were Level 110. Without the Level Gap Suppression to suppress the damage output of players, even Fatty Han could saunter around like a boss. Him joining the Dungeon Expedition Force had solved the damage output shortage problem they were having. With Fatty Han leading the Dungeon Expedition Force, they managed to take out the 12th boss in the Hard Mode. Three days after, Fatty Han had engaged with the 13th boss in his {Vampire Transformation} form. To battle against this boss, players must have the extremely powerful equipment to survive the battle long enough to slay the boss! With his {Vampire Transformation} kicking in, the Dungeon Exploration party of the Lone Desert Smoke finally broke through the boss and went on to the 14th boss.

By that act, many of the young, pretty female players in the guild greatly admired Fatty Han. Many of them were blinking at him flirtatiously. Unfortunately, this fatty already has someone back in his place. He would even need to 'report' to her whenever he goes out. So, as he 'engaged' with a bunch of flirtatious girls in conversation, Fatty Han would only dare to 'cheat' in his mind, entertaining them with his own cheesy lines.

Without even knowing it, Summer break ended, and it was now time to go back to school!

Wei Yan Er was now a University Freshman. So, her first time entering the university was a huge affair. Zhang Yang purchased an MPV (Multi-Purpose-Vehicle) for her as a gift. The main purpose of the MPV was to allow Wei Yan Er to load and transport her items, such as her 'toys', her clothes, and of course, her perfumes. Even Sun Xin Yu took a day's leave just to send Wei Yan Er off to her campus.

Zhang Yang did not think of it as such a big deal. Wei Yan Er would not be far from home. It wasn't like she was leaving town to study in another state, or in some overseas country. The Zhou Su University was just in the city. It was just 20 kilometers away from where Zhang Yang lived. So there was no need for all the fuzz.

However, the little brat had immediately shot down his complaints, even to his shock, "You can't imagine having a thief living in your own house!" It cannot be helped, that the little brat did not trust the witch that goes by the name of Snow. She had been taking the little brat's items for her own use. Even before she had finished piling her grievances on Zhang Yang, they saw that very witch walking out from the little brat's room, with a lot of items in her hands as she made her way back to her room like a sneaky rodent!

...

So, Zhang Yang sent Wei Yan Er to the front gate of Zhou Su University. Because the new MPV that Zhang Yang had bought was only to allow Wei Yan Er to transport her stuff, Zhang Yang had not really invested much in it. The moment his low-end MPV entered the campus area, quite a number of people were laughing at them. Of course, Zhang Yang did not mind it at all. He had just graduated from this place about a year ago. He was more nostalgic than anything at that moment.

Chapter 522: Wei Yan Er goes to University!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Not only was Wei Yan Er a local in Zhou Su, she was also on the Board of Directors of her company. Her assets were worth hundreds of millions. The university knew this, and were treating her like royalty! They had already sent her all the necessary information. Her enrollment process was ready-made for her. Now, all she needed to do was to turn up in person at the location and move her things into the hostel.

So, when Zhang Yang drove the little brat over to the front of the hostel building, the area was already flooded with cars. Quite a number of people were busy unloading their luggage from their cars. These students should be Zhou Su locals or from the towns or cities beside Zhou Su. So, it made sense for them to drive there by themselves.

Wei Yan Er made a call, and almost immediately, the three pretty siblings, Zhao Bin, Zhao Yu and Zhao Xue ran out from the hostel towards Zhang Yang and Wei Yan Er. After all, these 3 sisters have met Wei Yan Er once and they appeared to instantly click. So, it made perfect sense for these three pretty girls to come out and welcome Wei Yan Er with open arms on her first day in university!

With the three of them taking care of the little brat, Zhang Yang felt so much more relieved. They got down from the MPV and unloaded Wei Yan Er's stuff.

The area wasn't just filled with the girls who occupied, or were bound to occupy the hostels, it was also filled parents, boyfriends, and even 'sugar-daddies'. The moment everyone in the area saw that another pretty lady coming out from the MPV, they were shocked!

Besides the flirtatious, buxom looks of Han Ying Xue, Sun Xin Yu was a cool beauty in her own right. Her face shared some of the softness that the three 'Zhao' sisters had. Some of the male creatures might have been 'triggered' into thinking about something 'evil'. Needless to say, several 'sugar-daddies' had walked up to them like bosses and acted as if they were the friendliest people on earth, as they attempted to invite the ladies for a 'tea session' with them in a nearby hotel. They also 'accidentally' revealed that they were quite rich, letting slip some sensitive topics such as 'Millionaire Assets' and 'Party Secretaries'.

Eventually, Wei Yan Er blew up and scolded the 'sugar-daddies', forcing them to retreat.

But would they give up so easily when they are so rich, or powerful? Some of them might even be rich and powerful at the same time! Also, Sun Xin Yu and Han Ying Xue happened to be the prettiest things they have ever laid eyes on, not to mention the fact that they had just been 'rejuvenated' with a touch of 'moisture' by Zhang Yang, making them look even more gorgeous and attractive than ever! Even a noble man would feel his heart rate rising! So, what about this bunch of dirty, lecherous, old goats? The answer was obvious!

Well, so much for Wei Yan Er's peaceful university life.

She had brought along so many items that two-thirds of the entire dorm was already occupied by her items! Even so, this mountain of things had already been filtered through, over and over again! Or else, 3 dorms would not even be enough to accommodate all of her items!

Fortunately, this little brat knew how to butter up others with her sweet tongue. She endured her 'pain' as she brought a lot of nice food and nice games to share with the other three of her roommates. As a result, they did not say a word about her overbearing presence.

To create a good bond between the little brat and her new roommates, Zhang Yang decided to treat the 3 girls to a meal in a nearby hotel after they were done with their packing.

Upon seeing Zhang Yang's ride, the three girls did not hide their disdain. They even looked down on Zhang Yang and the ladies who were with him. Things changed a little after they arrived at the hotel. The hotel seemed to be 'up to their standards', so girls began to ease up. Zhang Yang could not help but to let out a breath of sigh, disappointed with how materialistic people were nowadays.

The 11 of them stepped into the hotel. These 11 were made up of Zhang Yang and his 4 ladies, the three Zhao Sisters, and Wei Yan Er's three new roommates. Although Zhang Yang was filthy rich, he was no in a mood to spend his money like one. So, he simply ordered a few moderate dishes and wine. The expense was lower than 2,000 dollars. Though 2,000 dollars was not 'cheap' at all, they could not really get anything that matched their taste buds in this hotel.

So naturally, the three girls weren't happy about it. They would glance at Zhang Yang out of the corners of their eyes in disdain.

Zhang Yang was feeling confused. Weren't these college students supposed to simply accept anything that comes their way? It was not as if he was treating them to noodles by the roadside! A table of dishes that amounts up to 2,000 dollars is already the amount of salaries of a few people altogether for an entire month! Why would they be unhappy about this?

These three girls were Ma Yun Na, Zhang Yan Ni, and Li Yi Yue. Although they were not that pretty, they had youth on their side, with figures that had been well taken care of. With their make up on, they were 70% close to actual 'goddesses' among girls. However, without that thick make-up, that fact would have a hard time retaining itself.

After they ate for a short while, Ma Yun Na's phone went off. She did not walk away to take the call, but picked the phone up as if she owned the table, "Stepdad... hmm, I'm having my lunch... no, no. When did I ever have a boyfriend before? Don't you know that my heart is only yours to take? Well, I'm just having lunch with some dorm mates. Well, the food is mediocre, shabby... how could they possibly order food at your level! You're a big boss with assets worth tens of millions... ah, you're also around the hotel? Good, good. I'll be waiting for you to come over! Hmm, give me a kiss! Give me another kill!"

After she hung up her phone, Ma Yun Na said, "My stepdad is coming now! You guys are in luck today! My stepdad is a very generous person, and he is going to treat you all to a meal of high standard seafood meal!"

After witnessing how she 'stepdad'ed her way here and there on her phone, Zhang Yang and the ladies could already guess that this 'Stepdad' has already 'stepped' her flat! What a ruthless sugar-daddy!

However, to each person, his or her own way of getting by, so Zhang Yang did not get too hung up about such a trivial matter. Society nowadays laughs at the poor instead of the prostitutes. So instead of being angry at these girls for their questionable morals, Zhang Yang could only smile at them lightly.

-- Sun Xin Yu was wealthy as well. Zhang Yang only found out about it after knowing her for quite a while. Although her father is a powerful official, her mother is a CEO of a company in the market.The company was actually larger in scale compared to a weakened Silky Soft Holdings, back when it was struggling!

For them, a sugar-daddy, or as Ma Yun Na had put it, a 'step-dad', who was only worth tens of millions was a small fry to them. Zhang Yan and Sun Xin Yu only exchanged knowing smiles. It was not worth their time reciprocating to her show of wealth. But, Zhang Yan Ni and Li Yi Yue seemed to be very interested in Ma Yun Na's stepdad. They were clearly very eager to get into his pockets as well.

After about 10 minutes, someone knocked on the door, and Ma Yun Na opened the door. An elderly man who was in his sixties walked right in. Although this old man was well-dressed and adorned from head to toe in branded products, his large belly bulged out, killing off the look he was going for. He had a bald patch on the back of his head, and a stern, serious face. However, his lewd, perverted eyes gave his true heart away.

"Allow me to introduce to you guys, my stepdad. His surname is Chang, full name is Chang Yue Lai, so let's just call him Chang Yue. He is the boss of a large company, worth tens of millions!" Ma Yun Na twitted on like a bird talking about the owner of her cage, without a care for what others thought of her. She was declaring that this old man belonged to her and only her. It was like a warning to the other women and ladies that they shouldn't try anything 'funny' with her stepdad.

Chang Yue Lai swept his eyes across the room and his radar immediately picked up the three beautiful ladies, Han Ying Xue, Sun Xin Yu, and Wei Yan Er. His initially serious face immediately vanished, his heart unable to stop itself from jumping up! These 3 ladies were basically on a 'disastrous' level of pretty and attractive! Though Wei Yan Er was rather flat, that pure and innocent look of hers would always send wolves howling and drooling over themselves!

"Stepdad! Stepdad --" Ma Yun Na was a little bit unhappy about that, as she kept trying to pull and prod the old man back to this realm. After a few attempts, the old man finally came back to his senses.

"Haha, what a fine bunch of young people. It seems that this old man has arrived at an inappropriate time!" Chang Yue Lai tried to amuse them with his joke.

"That's not true! You're still young and strong! I know so!" Ma Yun Na threw a flirtatious wink at him. It sounded as if she was implying something.

Chang Yue Lai cracked a sleazy grin as his right hand moved around the curvy butt of Ma Yun Na. He urged Ma Yun Na to have a sit. After calling the waitress, they cleared the table out and switched the dishes with a new series of seafood dishes. From the looks of it, this meal should cost at least 10,000 to 20,000 dollars!

Ma Yun Na repeatedly praised the old man for his generosity, a proud look on her face. Meanwhile, Chang Yue Lai soaked in her praise and flattery like a round sponge, and even added his own spice to her statements, talking about how large his hypermarkets were, and how much they earned him. Although Han Ying Xue and her gang of ladies were not interested at all, Zhang Yan Ni and Li Yi Yue were doing all they could to appear interested, more eager than ever to be taken under him.

With so many high standard dishes, who else would still be interested in regular dishes? At first, Chang Yue Lai was casually chatting with Ma Yun Na, but after the seafood arrived on the table, he had switched his full attention towards Sun Xin Yu, Wei Yan Er and Han Ying Xue, trying to seduce them with money and power. Ma Yun Na could not help but to feel threatened. She was enviously enraged to the point that her legs quivered uncontrollably. At that point, the looks she threw at them were nothing but friendly!

Zhang Yang sighed dejectedly. His initial intentions were to help the little brat build a good relationship with her new roommates. However, he had made things worse now. Ma Yun Na would turn into an embittered enemy!

Chang Yue Lai was more of a conman than a businessman, but he had clearly been successful in his field. As he continued hammering hard on Zhang Yang's pride like a boss, Chang Yue Lai was also trying to win over Zhang Yang's ladies. He kept spouting promises to convince the ladies to enter the Entertainment Circle, and that they would definitely succeed in doing so, with their gorgeous looks! He claimed that he knew a few famous directors in that field. With some 'packaging' and 'training', the ladies would definitely do well in that line of work.

From his point of view, young girls nowadays only wanted money and fame. Based on these two factors, any girl would take off their pants for him! Well, it can't be helped, for in his case, evidence spoke up for itself. Such simple principles had never been wrong before. Just look at MaYun Na, she had given her body up to this old perverted man without sparing a thought! Only god knows how many more stepdaughters like Ma Yun Na had been 'slaughtered' by this old man already!

Annoyingly, however, these ladies that he was trying to 'buy' over at this moment did not seem to have any interest at all, instead, they were looking at him with disgusted faces! Wei Yan Er was practically fuming! She was just a step away from throwing a punch to the old man's face! Tsk! Well, when he gets his hands on her, it would be all the more delightful The sensation of pressing his old body against the naked, ripe body of such a youthful girl was irreplaceable!

If the girl becomes a 'stepdaughter' to him, the girl would be moaning and calling out for her 'daddy' again and again. That would surely satisfy that sick mind of his.

Ma Yun Na was only getting more and more frustrated as she read his face. She now hated Zhang Yang and Wei Yan Er even more than ever! If Wei Yan Er did not have to move in at such a time, if Zhang Yang did not treat them to a meal in this hotel, they wouldn't be in such a situation at all!

From her point of view, no woman will be able to resist the seduction of money and fame. She was certain that they would definitely become 'stepdaughters' of Chang Yue Lai after this meal! She would have to share the 'love' with them after that! Meanwhile, these ladies are so impeccably pretty and attractive! She was bound to be banished into the cold storage, sooner or later!

After Chang Yue Lai boasted about a little while, his phone suddenly rang. After seeing the number on his phone, Chang Yue Lai frowned for a brief moment as he picked up the call, "Director Lee, great to hear from you... yes... yes... Oh, you're sending your daughter to school now? ... ah... that's right, I'm on the 9th floor. Yes, it's the Penny Pavillion Lounge!"

After hanging up the phone, he reverted back to his serious face. But everyone had seen his unease when he spoke on the phone. This Director Lee had to be someone above him.

After a short while, another group of people entered the lounge, and one of them was actually someone Zhang Yang knew -- Gu Jun! He was the Deputy of the Police Department that Sun Xin Yu worked under! Gu Jun looks more dignified than ever, for he was about to become the secretary ... the secretary of the state party committee. Basically, he had managed to do it all, thanks to Sun Xin Yu's connections. He was close to becoming an important figure. He had been doing great in his line of work. Rumors have been spreading about the top position that he is about to secure. Things are going extremely well for him, so of course, he would be greatly pleased!

Chapter 523: Please, Save My Son!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Hey, Mr.Chang!" a middle-aged man in his mid-40s came right up and said, "Come, allow me to introduce! This is Deputy Chief Gu Jun Gu, and we are here to celebrate his impending promotion! This is Department Chief Mr.Liu of the District Publicity Division..."

Chang Yue Lai was delighted.

In order to do business nowadays, a businessman must have good connections with the ranking officers from up high! He would need as much support as possible from the officers if he ever wants to expand his business. Back in his day, Chang Yue Lai had managed to get in bed with a small Director of the Business Administration Department, shoving tens of thousands of 'gratitude' money over to the Director, causing his competitors to close down. After that, he monopolized the marketplace like a boss and earned a substantial sum of money.

Well, that was merely a very low ranking Director, not something that would match up to a Deputy! If he actually manages to get along with an actual Chief...

Chang Yue Lai's mind soared to the galaxies. He started fantasizing about the possibilities of him becoming far richer, earning assets worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and countless pretty women feeling him up. He quickly put on his best manners towards Gu Jun and the other officers. Chang Yue Lai looked like a totally different person as he tried to butter up the officers. Zhang Yang tore his eyes away from the scene. The word 'money' really is the root of all evil. It turned men into great actors and women into harlots!

Although Chang Yue Lai was making a great show of courtesy, Gu Jun did not have the interest or time for him. He simply exchanged some pleasantries with the man. In his current position, Gu Jun would not really be interested in entertaining this small time businessman. Furthermore, Gu Jun was about to ascend even higher up, to the same height with the secretary of the state party committee. With such a bright path ahead of him, of course, he would look at a higher place.

Zhang Yang let out a sigh, then he said, "Let's leave!"

His initial intention to bring Wei Yan Er and her new roommates closer together had failed terribly. The situation was escalated to Chang Yue Lai serving a bunch of officers right in the middle of their 'lunch session'! Furthermore, Zhang Yang did not want to be misunderstood by Gu Jun. The last thing he would want was to be mistaken as an acquaintance of the perverted Chang Yue Lai! He would not want to unintentionally help the old sly achieve his goals!

"Hey, you people! How can you be so rude !" Director Lee, who seemed to be a friend of Chang Yue Lai suddenly jumped up as he tried to butter Gu Jun up as much as he could. As he saw that Zhang Yang and the ladies did not show any necessary 'respect' to Gu Jun, he thought that it was a good opportunity to 'express' himself.

At first, Gu Jun did not realize that Zhang Yang and Sun Xin Yu were just beside him, but after hearing Director Lee shouting out, he turned his eyes over and saw Sun Xin Yu. That was the one moment that he felt a chill down his spine, and he almost fell face first on the ground!

She was the reason why he is where he is, today! He could not have made it this far without her!

Although he never actually found anything out about Sun Xin Yu, he did know that the Secretary of provincial Party Committee cared very much for this little policewoman, to the point where her breach of conduct, her wrongdoings would all be overlooked! Gu Jun understood that Sun Xin Yu had great power guarding her back, but she had not given him any chance of tackling her, so Gu Jun did not take any initiative to even try. He did not want to risk getting rejected, only to make things worse for himself.

Therefore, he would only cooperate with Sun Xin Yu in the police station without stepping out of boundaries.

Gu Jun quickly walked up to Zhang Yang and extended a warm hand over to Zhang Yang, "It's Mr.Zhang! Haha! When you became the CEO of the Silky Soft Holdings, I was outstation. Sorry for not being able to congratulate you personally! Please, forgive me!"

Well, this would be the definition of saving a person by twisted means!

Gu Jun is very well sophisticated in reading body languages. Of course, he could see the 'relationship' between Zhang Yang and Sun Xin Yu. To butter up to a girl like Sun Xin Yu would be very simple. All you have to do is to be nice to the man she likes. It would definitely be much more effective than praising her a hundred times or a thousand times over!

Well, Gu Jun was greeting him with so much warmth and sincerity that Zhang Yang had no reason to turn away from him. It would be rude if he does that. So he reached out to shake Gu Jun's hand, and smiled, "Deputy Chief, you shouldn't be so courteous towards ne! You're serving the people, while I am just an evil capitalist. How can I accept your good will! I'm not worthy at all!"

"What are you talking about! As you said, we are serving the people! Are you saying you are not one of the people I serve?" Gu Jun laughed out loud as he brought Zhang Yang over to have a seat with him. He ignored everyone else who had come along with him, especially the old businessman.

Chang Yue Lai, Director Lee and the others were very shocked to see what just happened. A powerful Deputy Chief of Police Department was treating Zhang Yang so politely! They could not help but wonder if Zhang Yang was related to some powerful officer from other provinces or districts.

Since that Gu Jun was so absorbed in entertaining Zhang Yang, the others could not help but to sit down together in silence. Even though they did not know who Zhang Yang really was, they did not dare to interrupt the very animated and lively Gu Jun. So, they sat down together and sipped on their wine glasses in silence.

As the place was a little cramped, they had another table brought in to make sure that everyone in the lounge was comfortable. After all, they were not spending their own money for this.

Zhang Yang could not reject the goodwill of Gu Jun, so he could only let the girls and the ladies sit at another table as he went on entertaining the bunch of 'booze addicts' with all the alcoholic drinks on the table. It was indeed a trial of 'alcohol' in this era!

As things had escalated to such an extent, Chang Yue Lai no longer had any room to shine. All he could do was to laugh along as they spoke. He did not even get the chance to pour them any drinks. However, at the end of it all, the bill would still fall into his hands!

Wei Yan Er and Han Ying Xue did not appreciate being 'scanned' by Chang Yue Lai's filthy eyes, so they opened their mouth like lions and began to order far more expensive dishes like bird's nest and shark's fin soup. A few bottles of Maotai1 and red wine cost so much that even a filthy rich old man like Chang Yue Lai would feel 'slaughtered.' He lost his breath for a moment when he saw the vengeful girls ordering their mouths off.

However, he did not dare to reveal his feelings about that matter. Although he was worth tens of millions, it would still be a simple task for these highly-ranked officers to 'take care' of him and his business. It would just be a matter of seconds! He had been 'collaborating' with Director Lee to get rid of all his competitors back in the day. That was how he managed to be so successful today!

If one Director Lee was already capable of such things, what would more powerful officers be like?!

Back on the other table, Ma Yun Na and the other two 'gold diggers' were stunned.

They finally found out that Zhang Yang was actually the real 'Buddha' among the saints! They looked at each other in shocked realization! That was why there were so many beautiful ladies around him! Well, Zhang Yang is rich. He could buy these ladies over, and he could even take in tens or hundreds more of such ladies, if he wanted to!

Unfortunate for them, Sun Xin Yu and the ladies were simply too pretty. Ma Yun Na and the two 'gold diggers' did not even have the courage to attempt seducing Zhang Yang, worried that he might simply turn his head away as if they were nothing! However, now that they were using their heads for once, Zhang Yang had treated them a meal to get Wei Yan Er closer to her soon-to-be dorm mates. He simply wanted her to have a happy experience. So the key to pleasing Zhang Yang would be Wei Yan Er!

The three of them suddenly changed their attitudes and began to be very polite and nice to Wei Yan Er.

Zhang Yang happened to see that, and sighed internally. However things had turned out to be, Zhang Yang had achieved his goal, nevertheless. At ease now, he turned to chat with Gu Jun. After all, he was also the second-highest ranked officer in the Police Department of the district. Being close to someone of that level would also be a good thing.

Finally, they had a good time in the lounge. The only person who did not share their sentiments was Chang Yue Lai. His heart ached deeply as he read the bill of this 'session'! If this bill was put on Gu Jun's tab, it wouldn't actually be any problem. But, he had been a listener for the entire night. He had to pay for his first-class seat. With no way of knowing if Gu Jun could even remember his name, he felt a piece of his heart being torn out, as his credit card parted from his hand! The money could possibly be spent for absolutely nothing!

After the ladies were back in the car, they couldn't stop going on about the facial expression of Chang Yue Lai the moment he saw the amount on the bill. They were all giggling over it. The three Zhao sisters were looking at Zhang Yang with glittering eyes, as they have never thought that Zhang Yang would be a CEO in real life. A CEO who also happened to be the best professional gamer ever to pop up in the decade.

Han Ying Xue sensed their gazes and pinched Zhang Yang in the waist, and said in a hushed voice, "You hoodlum, are you planning to have more than one wife? Maybe like the emperor with 72 wives?"

After sending Wei Yan Er back to her dorm, it was time for Zhang Yang and his 'remaining' ladies to travel back in their car. Wei Yan Er and Han Ying Xue were really reluctant to leave each other, as they were reduced to sobbing piles of mess. Zhang Yang frowned intensely at them, "Oh come on, the little brat is just 20 kilometers away from home, and that is just a 30- minute drive from home! Don't make it like it's the last time you two are seeing each other!"

Eventually, he had to wrestle the two ladies off each other, literally. Before Zhang Yang and the ladies had left the place, they already heard Wei Yan Er giggling at a joke the Zhao sisters said. The four of them were already laughing like lifelong best friends. Han Ying Xue was so furious at her lightning-fast change of heart.

Back home, now that the playful little brat was no longer in the house, the large house had actually turned quiet and cold. A big piece was missing in the house.

Zhang Yang logged back into the game. As he had been helping Fatty Han with his [Vampire Inheritance, Zhang Yang had not yet worked on getting the [ Zinc Alloy] and [Light of Miracle] to unseal the second seal of his [Sword of Purging Devourer]. Although he already has the [Heaven Shaker] and no longer had any urgent need of a much more powerful weapon for the moment, he was counting on the fact that he would inadvertently stumble upon new bosses as he searches around for the two quest items.

Players were beginning to congregate in the Chaos Realm. The level range gap for every map in the Chaos Realm was far larger than that of pre-Chaos Realm content. The system had been designed to encourage players by rewarding them with better 'initiatives'. The initial drops from bosses as they are slain for the first time and the next couple of times would have both the attributes of offense and defense and a 20 level reduction on Required Level. They would definitely be among the best equipment at the current stage of the game.

Well, such powerful equipment will not be dropping from the bosses each time they are slain. They would only drop from the first three kills on the bosses. In other words, if a player kills a boss for the fourth time, then the boss will no longer drop such equipment anymore.

Therefore, it would be best for players to more up maps and bosses in the Chaos Realm. The main priority would be to switch to a full set of Mythical Tier equipment.

Even though Zhang Yang had the advantage of his previous life's experience, he could not remember every single spawn point of every single boss in the Chaos Realm. So, he would have to locate them based on the descriptions and hints in quest journals. That would be the only way to do it.

After riding on Whitey Jr. for a while, Zhang Yang found himself at the Flatlands of the Man Eating Monster. According to the 'terrain' of the world map, this should one of the main maps of the Indian Region. The Territory Gateway of the Indian Region was somewhere in the map. As Zhang Yang traveled through the map, he could see quite a number of Indian players.

Although regions would be enemy factions by default, players wouldn't simply jump down from their 'planes' and kill players from other Regions. Of course, if an enemy player from another Region appeared in one of their grinding maps, they would understandably try to repel the 'invader'. How else would they be able to grind and hunt bosses in their own lands peacefully?

After flying for a while, Zhang Yang arrived at the Skeletal Spirit Mining Cave. The [Zinc Alloy] would be lying somewhere in the mining cave.

The area is actually the territory of the Harpy monsters. There were countless of these sexy, winged creatures roaming around the entire area. A Harpy has the upper body of humans, but their legs were those of eagles, ending in their deadly, sharp talons. They were well capable of flying.

Although these creatures could fly in the sky, they evidently loved setting up their nests in dark, creepy caves. In this particular game, the Harpies seemed to be limited solely to the female gender. Unlike Wei Yan Er, Zhang Yang did not waste unnecessary cognitive bandwidth on trivial matters like reproduction and survival of the race.

He patted Whitey Jr. and landed near the cave. Almost immediately, he spotted a green-named NPC close to the entrance of that cave.

[The Old Man Kadejah] (Normal, Humanoid Creature)

Level: 110

HP: 17,600

Note: A craftsman from Slurping Stallion Town, quick-witted and nimble-fingered.

It was a frail, plain-looking old man. He looked to be least 70 to 80 years old. He looked anxious and worried.

A quest should be available here.

Zhang Yang leaped off the back of Whitey Jr. and approached the old man together with Felice, "Hello, sir. Why are you here? There are many dangerous Harpies around this area. They are man-eaters, you shouldn't be here!"

"Young man, of course, I'm aware of that! But my son has been taken by these god d*mned birds. I, I must save him!" Kadejah steeled himself and gazed into the darkness of the cave. He rolled up his sleeves and got ready to charge in.

Zhang Yang quickly stopped the old man, "Sir, you will only get yourself killed if you charge in blindly like this! Let's put it this way. I am an Adventurer, so let me help get your son back. How does that sound?" He doesn't have a rat's *ss to give if this NPC dies, but before he gets himself killed, he should at least give him the freaking quest first!

Kadejah who was barely hanging on by a thread, quickly grabbed hold of Zhang Yang's hands and said, "Thank you so much, brave Adventurer, you have a good heart. You will definitely be blessed by the gods! Please bring my son back to me. Oh my! He's only 5 years old! He must be terrified now!"

Zhang Yang took a look at the old man, whose face was covered with wrinkles and white whiskers, and asked, "Sir, your son is... 5 years old?"

"Hey, warrior! Although I am really old, but I'm not so muddled that I've actually forgotten my son's age!" Kadejah was a little pissed. Well, that's not the point.

Zhang Yang could not stop admiring this old man. This old man must be really strong to actually 'produce' a 5 year-old boy at his age! He deserved a medal for that! Zhang Yang nodded and said, "Sir, rest assured that I am going to get your son back to you, in one piece!"

"Warrior, please be quick! These god d*mned birds might eat him alive! Oh, my poor boy --" Kadejah could not hold his feelings back any longer and he began to cry.

'Ding! The Old Man Kadejah has given you a quest: Please Save My Son, accept or decline?'

Accept.

[Please Save My Son!] (Difficulty: B-rank)

Description: Please save my son! I was taking my son up the hill to get some dry wood, but unexpectedly, we encountered a few Harpies and they took my son away! Warrior, please save him! My poor Chionocpi!

Completion: Save Chionocpi 0/1

Although the quest did not seem to have any relations with his search for the [Zinc Alloy, Zhang Yang was not bothered by it. Since he is already entering the cave, he might as well complete another quest at the same time while looking for the [Zinc Alloy, earning extra experience points, while killing two birds with one stone!

He walked into the cave with quick steps and threw a {Spear of Obliteration} at one of the Harpies that was the closest to him.

'-23,532!'

The Harpy let out a miserable screech and came straight down from the air, crashing into the ground, breaking i's neck. The Harpy died immediately after that. A Level 115 normal monster only had a total of 17,800 HP. Now that Zhang Yang was capable of dealing far more damage than before, one hit was enough to kill the Harpy!

"Big brother, you are getting more powerful!" Felice has always been so cute, and the way she looked at Zhang Yang with her dazzling eyes this time was no different. Well, that completely gratified Zhang Yang's ego.

"Hahaha!" Zhang Yang picked up the few [Inscribed Cloths] that the monster dropped, and ventured deeper in.

The cave was creepy and dark for some reason. Zhang Yang could not see the end of the cave on his map. When he brought up his world map, he realized that the endless turns and twisting passages of the cave could really mess one's mind up! Zhang Yang was too lazy to even remember the topography of the area. He bulldozed blindly on, turning away from dead ends, believing that he would eventually find the exit of the cave.

Zhang Yang only encountered normal Tier monsters all the way. The monsters were no match for Zhang Yang's new level of attack power. With just a simple swings from his [Heaven Shaker, he could already kill the monsters. But the cave was deep and extensive, Zhang Yang walked without any stopping for two hours before he finally saw two elite Tier Harpies guarding over a little boy.

Chapter 524: Level 4 Guild Upgrade Order

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Compared to the normal Tier Harpies, the elite Tier Harpies were large in size, and their wings were definitely far more vibrant. They held long spears, and by the way, the spearheads glinted in the light, the spears had to be extremely sharp! The wooden shafts of the spears were stained with dry blood, suggesting that they had been used to kill before, and that goes to show that the Harpies are bloodthirsty militants!

[Raging Harpy] (Elite, Humanoid)

Level: 110

HP: 1,100,000

Defense: 1,200

Melee Attack: 7,594 - 9,594

Skills:

[Screech of Despair: Makes enemies run in despair, the target will not be able to do anything for 5 seconds.

[Force Strike: Performs a powerful strike on the target, dealing 100% of Melee Damage with a 10% chance of triggering an additional attack.

Note: Loyal Servants to the Harpy Queen Yaniboque. They exist to fulfill the desire of the Harpy Queen. The entire Harpy race hunts for preys only to serve their Queen!

Although these Harpies were half-bird, half-human creatures, the human part of them were beautiful to look at. They had eyes, ears, nose, mouth, eyes brows and other features that a human would have! Even their boobs were fairly huge! They had nothing to cover their torsos except for crude, low-cut leather sash around their chests. Right between their legs, they wore metallic spats that ended right below their buttocks. Zhang Yang could see a few strands of golden hair protruding out from the bottom of those spats, and started wondering if those are bird feathers or a specific type of hair.

The only thing that was keeping this place from becoming a sacred ground for the 'Otakus' were the deadly talons that these creatures had!

Zhang Yang turned his attention to the little boy. He could not help but to give the name of the boy a double take.

[Chionocpi] (Normal, Puppet)

Level: 5

HP: 250

Note: He used to be a puppet. He was crafted by Kadejah with all his love and skill. Because he accidentally fell into 'Fountain of Life', he acquired a special but strange life force. Chionocpi is a fantastic child. His nose will extend whenever he lies.

Oh my freaking god!

At first, he thought that the Old Man Kadejah was still 'strong' at his age, but now, Zhang Yang saw the truth! Chionocpi, Pinocchio! He should have guessed it, earlier on!

The boy was huddled in a corner, shivering in cold and fear. A Treasure Chest lay right beside the boy. Zhang Yang eyed the Chest with greed -- it had been a long time since he last popped open a Treasure Chest!

Although there were two elite Tier monsters in the area, Zhang Yang had no fear. As the cave was rather narrow, he had brought Whitey along instead of Whitey Jr. He let out a cry and charged towards the monsters, together with Felice and Whitey. With a shoof, he flung a {Spear of Obliteration} straight at one of the elite Harpies.

"Rawgh --" the two Harpies immediately let out deafening screeches and came at Zhang Yang with their spears.

Qiang! Qiang!

Zhang Yang raised his shield over his head and blocked the attacks of the monsters from above him. Then, he moved his shield behind him and crouched down, ready to make a leap. With all his power focused on his glutes, thighs and his leg muscles, Zhang Yang shot to the air! He then reached out his left hand which was now free, and caught hold of one of the Harpies by the claw the moment it attempted to gain more height, having dove down to use its spear. With a mighty tug, he forcefully brought the Harpy to the ground!

Bam! That Harpy smashed into the ground with such force that the area was clouded up with dust. It had been dazed by the fall! Even though that was not a skill, but that ruthless slam had stunned the monster for almost one whole second!

The game had its share of realism. However, such maneuvers are not stated in the game manual, leaving players to discover them on their own! Furthermore, the effectiveness of such moves would be decided by the skills and controls of the players themselves, and the reactions of their victims-to-be!

A professional like Zhang Yang would have the sense to prevent their head from taking a hit. Even if he gets hit in the head, he could and would use his strong willpower to recover from that hit almost immediately. As it was not a Status Restriction Skill with a set duration of stun, players would be able to recover, based on their own willpower and the toughness of their bodies.

"Stupid bird! Where are you looking at!" Zhang Yang laughed out loud, swinging his [Heaven Shaker] straight at the head of the Harpy, even while he was still in the air!

"Rawgh --" the Harpy that fell on the ground got back up defiantly. It raised its spear up and directed it towards Zhang Yang's chest. The Harpy that was still in flight had also let out a screech of its own as it charged at Zhang Yang, trying to work in tandem with its downed friend.

"{Dragon's Spear Barrage}!" Felice let out a loud cry as she picked her lance up and shoved it straight at the still-flying Harpy. Her swift movements churned the air current so much that dust was trailing after the movements of the lance!

'-22458!'

Zhang Yang swung his [Heaven Shaker] hard at the Harpy before him and caused a terrifying amount of damage to the monster. At the same time, his rage bar was instantly filled! So, he went on and activated his three skills - {Horizontal Sweep}, {Destructive Smash}, and {Frost Strike} one after another, inflicting the monster with an additional 200% Melee damage!

'-47890!'

'-90566!'

'-48500!'

Very good! The {Destructive Smash} was a Critical Attack!

In just 10 seconds, the Harpy had lost more than 200,000 HP! Zhang Yang would have never imagined that he would do so much damage to anything, even with his {Inheritance}! Even if he activates his {Dance of the Heaven and Earth}, he would only cause about 150,000 damage!

A two-handed weapon really does so much better than a one-handed weapon when activating skills! The difference was tremendous!

Although he has lived two lives, Zhang Yang was still a newbie when it comes to using a two-handed weapon. So whenever he sees the super high damage values popping up on monsters after each attack, he was greatly content and pleased with himself. That sensation would be exactly like the sensation he felt as he stared into the lustful, lost, tender faces of Han Ying Xue and Sun Xin Yu. Back then he had satisfied them so much that they were close to losing their senses, and had even pushed the two of them to their climaxes! He would always feel proud of achieving such a feat.

Whenever he thought about Sun Xin Yu and Han Ying Xue, Zhang Yang could not help but to scratch his head, realizing how much trouble they gave him.

An unspoken battle of wills often occurred around Zhang Yang. The girls were not exactly allies, or comrades, but as the saying goes, If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. Whatever they were, they knew each other so well that words need not be spoken. They would just stare at Zhang Yang at the same time, or just stare at each other at the same time, silently wrestling each other for Zhang Yang. Or, they would simply go up against Zhang Yang at the same time, sandwiching Zhang Yang until his eyes roll up, as if he was out of oxygen.

In bed, it was another battlefield. Well, men are not women, after all. Men are considered to be a 'one-time' product. Although some men can still go for a few more rounds after the act, they are not machines. The two ladies would also be fighting in this battlefield, keeping count on each other! One of them would ask for two rounds, while the other would ask for three! Zhang Yang could no longer tell if his days are considered heavenly or hellish!

But, he could not help but to wonder, why would they still be quarreling after they had grudgingly accepted each other in bed with him, at the same time?

Recently, looking at them, Zhang Yang noticed that they have been 'moisturized' to the extent that their beauty, mannerisms, and everything had been amplified several times over! Their skins 'glittered,' as if there was a translucent barrier over them! Daffodil Daydream and Wei Yan Er could only admire them more than ever, without ever finding out their secret skincare product!

Well, there's a chinese proverb that goes, no amount of plowing would destroy the land, only the cattle who did the plowing themselves would suffer! Women will never tire, ever, unlike the finite stamina of men, when it comes to the affairs of the bedroom!

Huh? Zhang Yang could not help but laugh. How did he even end up thinking about all this!

The attack power of the elite Tier monsters still packed a solid amount of punch, but they should be able to actually land their attacks in order to prove it! Zhang Yang went all out with a flurry of strikes, swinging his [Heaven Shaker] around like a black dragon. The two monsters were hit in basically all directions, unable to even regain their balance. They could not even cause any damage to Zhang Yang, but could only repay him with more Rage points in an endless synergy!

In less than 2 minutes, the two Harpies fell to the ground, leaving some loot behind.

Felice knew that Zhang Yang was not fond of picking up 'cheap' items, so she ran forward and picked up the loot for Zhang Yang. It greatly pleased him! How nice would it be to have a girl doing that for him in real life?

Zhang Yang went up to the boy and said, "Chionocpi, don't be scared. Your father sent me here to get you home."

"I, I, I'm not afraid!" the little boy tried to act tough, but his nose suddenly grew by a few inches!

What a pitiful being, if this were to happen to someone in real life, Zhang Yang was certain that poor soul would have committed suicide! Human truly love to lie, be it for good or bad reasons, well, everyone should have lied at least once in their lives!

It is alright to lie sometimes, but to have a 'detector' that exposes you whenever you lie? That would just make you sad and pathetic!

Zhang Yang walked up to the Treasure Chest. He was glad to see that it was a Violet-Platinum Tier Treasure Chest, and it was not locked! As he was opening up the chest, he turned to the boy and said, "It is very normal to be afraid when you are in such a situation. Come on, I am sending you to your father right away!"

"Thank you, brother!" the nose of that little boy shrunk back to it's normal size the moment he spoke again. He nodded and said, "Brother, I promise that I will not wander around and make my father worry again! There won't be a next time!"

His nose suddenly extended out again.

Zhang Yang could only shake his head again and again, but when he heard the 'click', he turned his attention back to the Treasure Chest.

Treasure Chests and bosses are basically similar. Good equipment and items would come out of them only when they are being opened up for the first few times. After being opened up several times more, the same Treasure Chests of the map will no longer drop good equipment or items. Logically speaking, this location should still remain undiscovered for now. It should be the Chest's first uncovering.

Zhang Yang looked around in the chest and discovered that there are three things in it. One of the items was a heavy, black parchment of [Order, another was a crystal clear green [Gemstone, and the last one was an aquamarine-colored robe.

Could this be another [Territory Conquest Order]?

He quickly picked up the [Order] to examine it. However, it did not turn out to be a [Territory Conquest Order, but a [Level 4 Guild Upgrade Order]!

Now, that's a pleasant surprise! Well, it's also great news for Zhang Yang, as he had no use for a [Territory Conquest Order] now, anyway. Not long ago, he could have conquered as many Territory Gateways as he desired. All Territory Gateways across all eight Main Region in the Chaos Realm were all his to pick as he was the only one in the entire Chaos Realm. Because he did not want to create too many enemies for China Region, he had only taken down the Territory Gateway of the Japan-Korea Region.

A [Level 4 Guild Upgrade Order] would increase the maximum capacity of players' number in Lone Desert Smoke by up to a total of 40,000, providing every single member of Lone Desert Smoke with an additional 40% experience points! Normally, it would take up about 10 days just to level up once. But with an additional 40% experience points, a player would save about 3 to 4 days for each level!

After all, the Lone Desert Smoke were at the maximum capacity of their Level 3 experience bar. So, Zhang Yang used the [Level 4 Guild Upgrade Order] immediately. The next thing that happened was the sweet voice of the server's notification system. After Zhang Yang made some confirmation with the system, the Lone Desert Smoke Guild had officially been elevated up to Level 4!

The server announcement informed the players of Lone Desert Smoke, and as usual, for the next 3 days, every single member of Lone Desert Smoke would enjoy the additional experience points, along with a 50% discount on all equipment and weapon repairs!

Snow Seeker, Greensleeves Prince and other guildmasters started asking Zhang Yang about the where and how concerning the [Level 4 Guild Upgrade Order]. They were guildmasters who ran their own guilds afterall, so was completely understandable for them to be so interested. Unfortunately, no two openings of a Treasure Chest, even if it is the same Chest, would ever be the same. So there is no way of telling if the next person, or the person after the next will ever come across another [Level 4 Guild Upgrade Order] again. Treasure Chests would never be a reliable source of obtaining such rare items.

After convincing them about the unpredictable nature of Treasure Chests, they finally left him alone. Then, he continued to look at the remaining two items.

The green [Gemstone] was actually a [Level 4 Dexterity Gemstone, something that Zhang Yang had no personal need for. So, Zhang Yang placed it into his inventory, keeping in mind that he could just hand it over to Sun Xin Yu, Fatty Han or other members who relied on the Agility Attribute. The robe was a Violet-Platinum equipment. It could already be equipped upon reaching Level 100. Zhang Yang widened his eyes, not because of its power, but because he could see the monetary value of it!

Chapter 525: Land of Savages

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Clak clak clak!

A series of noisy footsteps was heard from afar, and a party of players had approached them. The party was consisted of multiple races of players, and were wearing different kinds of weird outfits. The group spotted Chionocpi and cried out "There!"

At the same time, they spotted Zhang Yang, but remained calm and neutral.

Zhang Yang examined each of their properties.

Savage Lord, Level 100, Guardian, Male Beastman, "Land of Savages", India Region.

King Kong Wrath, Level 100, Sacred Knight, Male Dwarf, "Land of Savages", India Region.

King King Arcane, Level 100, Assassin, Male Elf, "Land of Savages", India Region.

Hourglass Figure, Level 101, Sniper, Female Elf, "Land of Savages", India Region.

Bloodbath Apocalypse, Level 100, Pyromancer, "Land of Savages", India Region.

Woah, finally! The famous players of the India region! The core members of the S class Professional League battle team - "Steely Dangs Battle Team"! If Zhang Yang remembered it correctly, Hourglass Figure was the one who had obtained the S class Hunter's Inheritance, the Shadow Striker. That woman was also the young mistress of the Steely Dangs Group, in reality. Her background was no joke. Furthermore, the lady was a beauty and was once voted as the most beautiful girl in all of India. Inadvertently, such a woman would have had her hand requested in marriage many times over. The girl was uncannily similar to Snow Seeker of China, being both skillful in the game, while also being rich and capable of running businesses in real life.

Her most famous feat was when she defended India from being invaded by the European army. She had led a small team and had managed to hold the invaders back until reinforcements arrived. Her actions had protected the entire map of the Indian region from being taken over by any players from the European region. That feat was soon dubbed as the Ninth Miracle in the history of 'God's Miracle'!

It could not be helped. Men would definitely have her in their minds as they beat their meat about.

Even so, she was capable of such a feat due to her S class Inheritance. Right then, all 5 of them had not obtained any Inheritances yet. They were nothing but scraps to Zhang Yang.

"Chionocpi, let's go. We need to find your father." Zhang Yang ignored the Indians and lightheartedly spoke to the little boy.

"Alright!" the little boy cheered happily. He was nothing but a story plot character. He had no knowledge of the tension between players of different nations. In his heart, there was only one thought, and that was to meet his father.

"Hold!" said Savage Lord as he approached Zhang Yang. "Leave the NPC behind and we will spare your life."

"Guild master. This man has entered our region. Why are you being so courteous to him! Take his head and be done with it," said King Kong Arcane with a deep hatred in his voice. He then disappeared in a puff of smoke and headed towards Zhang Yang. If Savage Lord had given the order, King Kong Arcane would drop the man dead in the blink of an eye.

Even though Zhang Yang had hidden his character profile information, his character was marked with a red name tag, revealing that he was an enemy of their region. That sort of red color marked for players of a regional enemy would be even deeper, with a tinge of light violet and black.

Zhang Yang smirked, "Chaos Realm belongs to no one. Since when did you guys own any part of the land?! I found this NPC and killed the two monsters that were guarding him. Yet, you're here, trying to grab what I've rightfully won over. Can anyone tolerate such an act?"

After Zhang Yang had finished with his speech, four of the Indians were pissed off. Only one of them, Hourglass Figure had chuckled delightfully, as if she was being given a cool drink after a hot, boring day. She placed her hands on her graceful hips and cat-walked towards Zhang Yang. Her slender waist, coupled with her rich and voluptuous chest could truly be a wonder of India.

She flashed her white, even teeth and said, "You are…Zhan Yu, I presume?"

What!?

The other four Indians were shocked, or rather, highly envious of Zhang Yang. Still, they did not lower their guards. Even though Zhang Yang was only one man, they could not be overly relaxed when facing China's strongest player! As professional players, they had the utmost confidence of winning over their opponents, yet none of them would ever underestimate anything or anyone. It a mindset that true professionals would practice.

For Zhang Yang, however, he was greatly dismayed at Hourglass Figure's reaction. He had wanted to lay low and avoid attracting too much attention. But, like the sun in the sky, no matter where he goes, sunflowers would be staring at it.

Zhang Yang could not help but think of Fatty Han and his catchphrase back in his previous life. Zhang Yang smirked confidently and said, "Aye. That's me!"

"Hmph!" Bloodbath Apocalypse swung his magic staff and stabbed the ground. "He is a professional, so is he mocking us for being nobodies?! Our guild master was courteous enough to give you a chance to surrender. Now that you blatantly rejected it, no more talk! A bloodbath it shall be, then!"

Savage Lord lifted his hands and stopped Bloodbath Apocalypse from screaming any further. "Zhan Yu, this is the main battleground for players of the India region. I'll have you know that you have my respect and profound admiration. Hence, I do not wish to have to kill you now. We shall fight, but I hope that it will be in the battle arena, a few months from now in the World Championship final rounds. Until then…"

"That sounds extremely implausible. But I accept your invitation! We're done here, beat it!" said Zhang Yang arrogantly, as he flung his hands about as if he was chasing away flies.

His rude gesture was the limit. All four of the Indians were greatly offended and came at him. Hourglass Figure had taken a few steps back, one hand below her chin, its elbow resting on the other hand that was around her waist, her mouth parted in delight. In the field, only 3 of them were visible, as King Kong Arcane had entered stealth mode. Zhang Yang could not discern his location, but he was still able to predict where the Thief would come in from, judging by the positions of this teammates.

While facing players with no Inheritance, Zhang Yang was unstoppable!

Zhang Yang smiled widely and yelled, "Felice, let's dispose of these Indians!'

Felice did not know the meaning of Japanese, Korean, nor Indian, all she knew was that those three were Zhang Yang's enemy, which made them targets for her to kill! The cheerful little girl then turned serious. She morphed into her Dragonhawk form and shot into the sky to obtain air superiority, allowing her to target any player at will.

Those who would want to target Felice would have to be ranged attackers since it was impossible to ride mounts in a cave! Zhang Yang grinned and spun around with his Heaven's Shaker.

Splat!

Blood spewed out in the air from out of nowhere, and King Kong Arcane was knocked out of his stealth mode. His face was heavily bruised, and several of this teeth was on the ground.

"How did you find me!?" cried King Kong Arcane, dazed. The man had been in stealth for a good amount of time. He had been standing behind Zhang Yang all the time and had the other three of his comrades draw attention away from him. Technically, there was no way that Zhang Yang could trace his position.

"Lucky guess," said Zhang Yang, shrugging. He then lifted his hammer and struck King Kong Arcane with {Destructive Smash}.

{Blur}!

The hit from before had taken more than 20,000 HP from King Kong Arcane's HP bar. Knowing Zhang Yang strength, he had activated the anti-physical attack skill {Blur} to invoke a 50% chance of dodging an attack. King Kong Arcane had even leveled up the skill to max, which made him gaining 95% evasion rate!

Shush!

Zhang Yang's hammer went through him like air!

Zhang Yang scoffed and left King Kong Arcane alone, heading straight for Bloodbath Apocalypse. Inheritance in hand or not, magic class players were Zhang Yang's greatest threat. However, with the God of War Transformation skill, he would gain a 90% chance to nullify all magic attacks!

"Oh, please do keep looking down on us!" cried Savage Lord and he glided through the ground and rushed towards Zhang Yang with {Charge}.

Just when Savage Lord was 0.1 seconds from hitting Zhang Yang, Savage Lord saw a glimpse of Zhang Yang's grin. Before he knew it, a large bear's claw was 1mm away from his face.

{Wild Charge}!

Zhang Yang laughed loudly and rushed towards Bloodbath Apocalypse.

All 5 of the India region players were stunned by what they had just witnessed.

The skill had no casting time, or unique postures to telegraph the coming of the attack. The time span for players to react would be less than 0,1 seconds! Yet, Zhang Yang was still able to react within such a time span and had even managed to capture Savage Lord in the middle of his high speed {Charge}!

Everyone believed that either it was pure coincidence or …

Bloodbath Apocalypse was good. After all, he was a member of an S class battle team for the Professional League. Just when Zhang Yang had activated his skill, Bloodbath Apocalypse had {Apparated} already and teleported away towards the left. Just as he took a step, he saw that his movement speed had already been greatly reduced! It was then when he noticed that he was struck with the skill - {Thunder Strike}, a Guardian AoE attack skill that could induce a 5 seconds slowing effect!

Bloodbath Apocalypse was stumped. He had paid so much attention trying to run away from Zhang Yang and had not noticed when he applied the effect of {Thunder Strike} on him.

Zhang Yang glided towards Bloodbath Apocalypse.

"Bastard!" King Kong Arcane cried out, enraged. He was right behind Zhang Yang, tailing him closely, but was affected by the {Thunder Strike} attack and had been forced out of invisibility once again.

Pew!

Felice's {Fire Missile} shot out and headed towards King Kong Arcane.

Wham!

'-20,874!'

All the time, no one had paid any attention to the Battle Companion in the sky. Even though King Kong Arcane knew that Felice was targeting him when he was removed from stealth mode, he did not intend to use {Shadow Cloak} for regular Battle Companions weren't very powerful in the first place! The blast itself had given him the shock of his life!

What the actual f*ck!? How could a Guardian produce damage stronger than a Berserker and a Battle Companion possess magic attack far superior to a Pyromancer!? Just who are these people!

Since Bloodbath Apocalypse was inflicted with the slow effect, he knew that it would be impossible for him to escape from Zhang Yang. Infuriated, the man started to think back of the initial situation. They could have simply walked away and taken him by surprise at a later venture! Too late for that now. Bloodbath Apocalypse refused to run away, he activated {Heart of Flame}and consumed a bottle of {Power Potion} and started to chant the most powerful spell, the {Explosive Flame}.

10 meters wasn't far. A player could cover that distance by sprinting with all their might within a second. Zhang Yang let out a shout, flying across the ground, and struck him with a normal attack and a {Horizontal Sweep}.

'-22,439!'

'-47,882!'

"Umph!" Bloodbath Apocalypse fell with a grunt. His head was brutally bashed open, his brain juice was splattered all over the cave, leaving his skull empty, along with his lifeless body.

Zhang Yang was flabbergasted. He had not expected the hammer to have such a gory effect on his victims. The next second, he stomped the ground hard to push himself around and charge towards King Kong Wrath.

"Holy crap!" Savage Lord recovered from his stun and screamed in horror. He had not expected Bloodbath Apocalypse to be killed instantly without leaving a split-second reaction for him to use {Ice Barrier}. But then again, Zhang Yang had the Inheritance class' 50% attack boost passive and the weapon's 20% attack boost effect. Combined with the 3.8 seconds weapon attack interval, Zhang Yang's attack could rival that of a Mythical tier boss. For him to insta-kill a Spellcaster should not be a mystery!

Chapter 526: Slaughtering the Indians

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Savage Lord was enraged. Or he was trying to be. In truth, he was more confused than anything. There were five of them and one of Zhang Yang, yet he was already picking them off in the opening seconds of the battle! They did not even get the opportunity to use any life-saving skills!

"GRAH!" he bellowed, almost puking his guts out. All skills, including the ones that he had reserved for the boss, was unleashed. The man swung his axe and shot out a ray of silvery light. The light then morphed and formed itself into a white fiery bird that flew directly into Zhang Yang's chest.

Eh?

Zhang Yang narrowed his eyes and decided to only use {Last Vigor}. The skill would push his maximum HP to over 140,000. With the 20% passive damage reduction skill, it would take a damage value of over 180,000 to kill Zhang Yang instantly.

Zhang Yang maintained his pace and charged towards King Kong's Wrath.

'-5,394!'

As the bird seeped into Zhang Yang's body, he had taken that one tick of damage. Zhang Yang then hypothesized that the skill that Savage Lord had just used was similar to that of {Dance of Heaven and Earth}, a skill that could deal 10,000 fixed damage (depending on damage attribute) every second, for 10 seconds.

King Kong's Wrath rushed over to Savage Lord. As a good healer, one must rush over to the tank to heal instead of running amok all over the place.

{Heroic Leap}!

Zhang Yang leaped into the air like a god towards King Kong's Wrath.

{Heroic Leap}!

This time, Savage Lord took the opportunity to feed Zhang Yang his own medicine. Savage Lord had been stunned in the middle of his {Charge} animation. Even though it was the bear who had did it, it was still under the control of Zhang Yang. He wanted to stun Zhang Yang in the middle of his own skill as revenge.

Zhang Yang grinned evilly. Just then Savage Lord was about to crash into him, He timed the location and position perfectly and activated {Brutal Smash} to stun the poor fellow for 4 seconds.

Like a paper plane that had struck a wall, Savage Lord fell from the sky.

King Kong's Wrath panicked and quickly activated {Terror Shriek} the moment Zhang Yang landed at him.

"Good reaction!" Zhang Yang had to compliment the man's skills. Zhang Yang then countered the {Terror Shriek} effect with {Warrior's Will}. Sadly, his attack interval was as long as 3.8 seconds. He would need to wait for another 2 seconds or so to launch another strike. Hence, even though {Brutal Smash} was about to deal damage, it shared a 1 second global cooldown which required him to wait for 0.5 seconds before any skills could be activated.

Since there was nothing he could do at the moment, Zhang Yang just stood there and waited. However, instead of attacking as he normally would, Zhang Yang swung his shield into King Kong's Wrath's face, knocking him off his feet and sent him crashing into the ground, his face digging up a new drain in the ground. It only grew in length as he slid further along, his legs angled to the sky.

"ZHAN YU--!" Savage Lord screamed in agony. He then used {Warrior's Will} to dispel the stun effect on him and charged towards Zhang Yang. At the same time, he flicked his fingers and cast {Sacrifice} to protect King Kong's Wrath.

Wham!

Zhang Yang had whacked the poor fellow who had just gotten back up to his feet. Once he was on the ground again, Zhang Yang stepped on the player's back and laughed at Savage Lord, "No need to get so aggravated. Though I feel the need to tell you that I don't swing that way. I prefer good, old-fashioned pussies and boobies instead of d*cks and buttholes."

"Bastard!" Savage Lord lost it. With quick movements, the Guardian swung his hands and threw a beam of light at Zhang Yang. The {Spear of Obliteration} was weak. He was no Zhang Yang. His damage on Zhang Yang was only over 3,000 damage, since he was wielding a One-Handed Weapon.

'-5,394!'

The fiery bird skill was still damaging Zhang Yang which had drained him by only 5,394 HP per second. 10 of them would be over 54,000, and that could drain half of Zhang Yang's HP bar.

"Just die!" King Kong Arcane had revealed himself in front of Zhang Yang. He had activated {Shadow Cloak} which granted him immunity to Felice's attack and had dispelled the slow effect of {Thunder Strike}. The blades struck the air, followed by a burst of light from the middle of his palm, which King Kong Arcane directed it towards the center of Zhang Yang's chest.

Mm. Mm. Zhang Yang chuckled. He had forced the opponent to expend all of their ulti skills. With a wide malicious grin, Zhang Yang activated {Shield Wall}. After the 1 second global cooldown ended, Zhang Yang struck Savage Lord with {Frost Strike}.

'-36,450!'

Savage Lord was struck with a heavy damage and icy bricks started forming around him, which then grew upwards to encase his entire character in ice. Since the ice was slightly transparent, Zhang Yang could see the disgruntled expression on Savage Lord's face. He had already used {Warrior's Will} to dispel the {Heroic Leap} stun effect and could only sit there and wait until the frozen effect wears off over time.

Thud!

Zhang Yang lifted a leg and sent King Kong's Wrath flying away.

"GRAH!" The diminutive King Kong's Wrath was almost at the brink of madness. He had never known that PvP would involve such maneuvers where he could be treated like a sandbag by Zhang Yang. Even though the attack had not dealt a single damage, it had made him lose his temper, focus, and most importantly, his dignity.

{Sacred Protection}!

King Kong Wrath could not take it anymore and immediately entered an invincible state. No matter how much rage had clouded his senses, the responsibility of being a healer had never left his judgment. He did not blindly charge at Zhang Yang, but went towards Savage Lord to heal him.

Zhang Yang chuckled. Heal? Really? Right when healers had been so greatly depowered that their powers were as good as smacking a band-aid down the bleeding stump of a severed limb. Could his heal really keep up with the attack combination of Zhang Yang and Felice?!

That aside, be it buffed or nerf, Zhang Yang still had his {Destructive Smash} that reduced healing effectiveness by 75%. Even if he had not used the skill to debuff Savage Lord, it would take four more King Kong's Wrath to fully negate the HP loss dealt by Zhang Yang and Felice.

Wham! Bam!

As one, Zhang Yang and Felice moved on to Savage Lord who was still encased in ice. Even though he was a class that was meant to take damage head on, his long HP and Defense were completely useless, they were emptied out like a broken aquarium! However, Savage Lord responded accordingly. Even though he was restricted from moving, he could still activate {Shield Wall}. The skill's greatest advantage was that it could be used anytime, anywhere, and in any situation, except {Silence} and {Disarmed}.

All three Indian players were safe, but only temporarily. Their invincible protection would only last for 10 seconds. During that time, there was nothing that they could do but to cower and hope for some miracle to save them from being humiliated! The shame of calling themselves professional players, and yet, they could not even defeat a single player and his Battle Companion.

10 seconds passed on quickly and the protection skills had expired. Felice shot down from the sky in her human form and crashed down majestically to the earth, leaving a small crater. With lightning speed, she swung her lance downward and did a quick thrust. After activating Dragon's Spear Barrage, she sent out a normal attack that followed almost instantly!

'-17,822!'

'-27,168!'

King Kong's Wrath was horrified. His maximum HP was only as much as 50,000. The 40,000 over damage by Felice was so strong that it had left King Kong's Wrath with only more than 10,000 HP left. Since he could not use a mount to flee from the cave, there was no place for him to escape. One more pebble falling from the ceiling of the cave would kill him off. {Berserker's Heal} and {Sacred Heal} had already been removed from the game, and since he had already used {Sacred Protection}, there were no other skills left to protect himself. All he could do was to leave his fate in the hands of his teammates.

{Blind}!

King Kong Arcane grabbed a handful of sand and tossed them towards Zhang Yang's eyes, causing a momentary blindness and inflicted the {Confusion} debuff.

Zhang Yang immediately counter the debuff with [Heart of the Death Knight] accessory skill and aimed his hammer at King Kong's Wrath. With all the muscles tensing up in his forearm, Zhang Yang forcefully heaved down the hammer with the might of a God of War!

'-98,774!' {Destructive Smash}, Critical .

Pak!

King Kong's Wrath's head blew up, as if there was a bomb planted in his skull, splattering all his brain juice and other gory stuff around the cave and even on Zhang Yang's metallic armor.

Zhang Yang felt like throwing up. The scene was too brutal for any normal human to handle. No wonder Tang the monk had always expressed his disdain towards Sun Wukong. The old monkey would always use his magical pole to smash open the enemy to pieces. How would one feel safe with such a brutal creature that is capable of doing such an act, and actually guide him to the west?

"No!" cried Savage Lord and King Kong's Wrath in horror. They were India region S class Professional League Battle Team! If word got out that an entire battle team was "raped" by a single man in the wilderness, they would have no places to hide their faces.

Zhang Yang scoffed. With {Shield Wall} active, Zhang Yang's HP was constantly recovering. The best thing was that {Rearm} was ready to be used at anytime! He also had {Dance of Heaven and Earth} and {Chaotic Dance of Electric Current}! {Glare of the Death God} too! There were still many trump cards that he had not used! Yet the opponent already seemed to have their wills broken. What else could they use against him?

Heaven's Shaker was swung around, bashing his opponents like a sledgehammer smashing into bricks. At the same time, Zhang Yang had been using kicks, hooks, trips, shoves, sweeps, and many other "Supporting Attack" to torture both Savage Lord and King Kong's Arcane to the point that they could not even get into their stances!

Wham!

In less than 10 seconds after the second death, King Kong's Arcane had fallen. 15 seconds after that, Savage Lord had entered the spectral realm.

From the moment Zhang Yang had started the fight and until the last opponent was killed, the entire process had only taken a minute or more, even though so much had taken place in between those times. That was the ferocious power of Zhang Yang and Felice. Besides the split second {Wild Charge} to catch Savage Lord, the white bear had done nothing at all, it had been running up and down the field, trying to catch players as if they were floating butterflies, to no avail!

Claps*

From a corner of the cave, Hourglass Figure was leaning against the cave wall and clapped her hands slowly and gracefully. Her expression was unexpectedly calm and somewhat delighted. Perhaps, its fortunate that the four fallen Indians had already released their souls to be revived again, or else, they would be completely annoyed at her actions.

During the entire battle with the four men, Zhang Yang had always kept an eye out for the woman. Not once he had let her out of his sight. She was, after all, one of the top players in the world that had obtained the S class Inheritance, and was hailed as the best hunter in the world. Even though when Hundred Shots obtained the Dragon pet, she was still able to step above him in every way possible.

Even though she had not yet obtained the Shadow Striker Inheritance, Zhang Yang dared not to lower his guard around her. He had not activated the God of War Transformation and had his HP and Defense were at their natural values. It would be rather unfortunate if he were to receive a sneaky attack when his HP is low.

Still, all her actions were incomprehensible. She was just standing there, watching Zhang Yang slay all her teammates and had done nothing to stop it. What was she thinking then? Still, if she had joined in at the moment when Zhang Yang had made any careless mistakes, Zhang Yang could still turn the table around with {Dance of Heaven and Earth}, {Chaotic Dance of Electric Current}, and also {Glare of the Death God}. With so much power in hand, if he was still at disadvantage, he could activate the God of War Transformation at any time to butcher them all.

Before other 5 S class Inheritance makes their appearances, Zhang Yang would remain undefeatable.

"Hmm. Mm. Not bad. I expected no less from the man I've heard so much about. Well done, Zhan Yu." Hourglass Figure placed her one hand on her hip and cat walked towards him. She smiled seductively and said, "I'll give you a chance to join my guild. Think about it carefully."

Zhang Yang smiled and pointed at the dead bodies and said, "Let's say I accept, would you not be afraid of offending these guys?"

Hourglass Figure laughed with her rich voice and bent over. Her peaks bounced about wildly. Zhang Yang stared at the peaks rather boldly and compared them to Sun Xin Yu. Hourglass Figure does have a wonderful pair of boobs, perhaps she was on the same level as Sun Xin Yu. However, even Sun Xin Yu's toned abs could not match up to her waistline. They were indeed slender and made her boobs stand out even more prominently.

Hourglass Figure gestured at them casually and said, "They are just a bunch of nobodies with a major superiority complex. Zhan Yu, join the India region. Together, we can conquer the world! Or perhaps, conquer me~"

Zhang Yang could not hold in his laughter and said, "In that case, how about I invite you to join China? I don't mind having more partners in bed!"

Hourglass Figure widened her gaze and laughed loudly. "Zhan Yu, my dear. You, do know who I am, don't you? I'm about to own Steely Dangs Holdings! Right now, I own 7% of the total share of Steely Dangs, worth more than 7,800,000,000 USD. Are you sure that you want me to be your lover?"

Crap…he could never allow himself to lose his honor! What's more, he was technically representing China against India! How could he allow himself to lose! Even if it was in terms of financial fortune!

He quickly thought of a way to switch the topic and said, "Hmm. What do you want? Money or man?"

Hourglass Figure cocked her head and crossed her arm to lift her breasts higher up to Zhang Yang. "I know that you are wealthy. It's expected. However, I can offer you a good deal."

She then lifted her index finger.

"1 million?" said Zhang Yang disgruntledly.

"Tsk tsk tsk." She shook her head. "You're either being too humble or looking down on me," said the smexy indian chick. "100 million, in USD."

"!" Zhang Yang was thrown away. The women had balls bigger than he did! Even though 'God's Miracle' was already famous throughout the globe, but it was still one year away from reaching its peak! Yet, this woman would take 100 million right then to coax him over. Zhang Yang could not decide whether is she had such foresight or was just too lonely…

Still, Zhang Yang had already amassed more than 100 million worth of fortune himself. Zhang Yang felt that after that amount, anything more or less would be nothing but numbers. He would not be tempted by Hourglass Figure's offer.

Zhang Yang smirked and said, "I stand by what I said. I don't mind have Miss Hourglass Figure in my bed. Come to China and I'll welcome you with open arms."

Hourglass Figure widened her eyes. She was genuinely shocked by his response and shook her head. "What a shame." She turned around without saying anything else and disappeared from Zhang Yang's sight.

"Won't you want to have revenge for your fallen teammates?"

Hourglass Figure stopped midstride, angling her hips and turned her head around, "Right now, I'm not your opponent! That said, you are the first player to obtain an Inheritance, aren't you? You defeated those four idiots without the need to use the transformation skill. For now, I should at least find myself a stronger Inheritance, and come back for you when I do. I shall see you in the world championship Professional League!"

Hourglass Figure turned around after she was finished with her speech. In no time at all, she turned around a corner and disappeared.

Chapter 527: The Hidden Properties of a Battle Companion

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhang Yang did not stay to guard the dead bodies. Instead, he led Chionocpi out of the cave. The cave was too large and if he had no quest guiding assistants, he would never be able to search for the [Zinc Alloy] when he does not even know what it looked like.

As they walked on, Zhang Yang casually asked, "Chionocpi, did the harpies do anything do you?"

"N-No!" cried Chionocpi. His nose then grew longer. Nervous, Chionocpi quickly added, "There's this weird lady harpy that was always asking me to place my face in front of her. She would make me repeat and lie and then a truth in turn and then repeat it over and over again. I don't know what she wanted me to do, but she made my nose all sticky and wet! What a weird harpy, asking me to use my nose to poke her insides. She knows very well that my nose is made of wood, moisture isn't exactly good for it! She seemed to cry out each time it grew longer and shorter. How scary."

Zhang Yang stopped for a good moment and facepalmed hard. The developer who designed this quest must have been a dry f*ck…

That being said, he turned to Chionocpi and took note of his nose and limbs. If he too had such an ability, he could have already dominated Sun Xin Yu and Han Ying Xue! It's not that his magnum was lacking in any aspect. In fact, Zhang Yang could proudly say that he was superior to most men! It was the fact that the two girls were always at each other's throats, always demanding more and more from him, even as they shot death gazes at each other. When he was done with one, the other would want it, and the cycle would continue until Zhang Yang's golden sack was completely shriveled up!

If he had a single finger that could be controlled like Chionocpi's nose, he should have already pacified both women with ease.

As he sighed heavily, Zhang Yang and Chionocpi made their way of the cave. The old man Kadejah was waiting anxiously. When he saw the silhouette of Kadejah, the little boy was overjoyed and ran over to the old man with tears in his eyes. The old man bent down and embraced the boy with his arms. "Chionocpi, my boy!"

"Father!" cried Chionocpi as he hugged his father.

After the emotional reunion, Kadehaj lifted his head and thanked Zhang Yang. "Brave adventurer, I can't thank you enough for saving my son!"

'Ding! You have completed the quest: Please Save My Son! Obtained 1,000,000 Experience Points!'

Zhang Yang smiled and replied, "Chionocpi is a good kid. No one in their right mind would not get in between him and the mouth of a monster."

Kaedjah nodded his head and wiped away his tears. "Adventurer, I do not know whether this piece of news would be useful to you but, I've heard the ironsmith in the town had mentioned about a rare mineral that could be found in the cave. The mineral is expensive and can be sold for a large fortune. Rumors say that the harpies are fond of the mineral and had hidden it away in some chest. The key to the chest is with the harpy leader, the Harpy Queen Yaniboque. If you can defeat her and obtain the key to the chest, you could sell the minerals for a large sum of gold coins!"

…

Eh? No quest notification?

Zhang Yang stuttered a little and said, "I-I thank you for the news. Old man, if I do get rich, I will come back and have a drink with you!"

Kadejah smiled and chuckled, "Thank you. I bid you farewell, adventurer. We shall take our leave now."

As the man turned around, Kadejah looked down to Chionocpi and said, "You must listen to me, and never run around again!"

"Yes, father!" Chionocpi nodded his head, and his nose grew a little. What a prick!

Zhang Yang turned back to the cave and headed to the place where he had rescued Chionocpi in the first place. He wanted to take the opportunity to rush in, since the monsters that he had killed had yet to spawn. Even though the monsters were not difficult to kill, it would still be a little troublesome. Halfway through, Zhang Yang had bumped into the group of four Indians that he had killed not too long ago.

Their face turned pale, but they came at him anyway, thinking that he was as unprepared as they were.

Zhang Yang laughed at their stupidity. He had not used any strong skills when he had first defeated them. So, killing them now would not make any difference. In fact, it would only be easier, since he now knew how they fought. With Felice joining his attack, the two of them had sent the four Indians to their graves again. It was all too simple for him, since Zhang Yang had the S class Inheritance, while Felice was a Battle Companion equipped with a complete set of Mythical equipment. With the two of them, they could completely crush any players right there and then. Come four or five, even 40, or 400, no one would not stand a chance when Zhang Yang activates his God of War Transformation! It would be a walk in the park for him to kill both normal and professional players. The difference in power when he is in Transformation mode was like heaven and earth, with no gray areas in between the two!

Not long after the fight, Zhang Yang came to the place where he first found Chionocpi. The cave was huge, and the routes were as complex as a spider's web. He would usually walk with one hand against a wall at all times when in such caves. However, this cave had circular routes. If he had done so, he would be circling around endlessly.

Zhang Yang enlarged the minimap and found a large cavern that was even bigger than the entire cave! Though it was not clearly specified, bosses usually reside in a large area. Hence, it would be sensible for him to start there first.

After memorizing the pathway, he then proceeded to head in the general direction of the cave. Not long after, the monsters around had gained a tier, turning from normals to elites. Even though they could not cause Zhang Yang much trouble, it would still be time-consuming for him to kill them all. Besides, the four Indians might come back for his head anytime.

Zhang Yang then decided to use {Shadow of the Void} and {Burrow} to sneak past the monsters and moved deeper into the cave, unhindered. There was no way for Savage Lord and his mates to trace his pathway.

Even though the pathway to the boss' room was clear-cut and simple, the way to it was completely filled with monsters. When {Shadow of the Void} and {Burrow} expired, he had to start killing his way through. It was a good haul as he had gained many pieces of equipment. Despite being barely dressed, the harpies had dropped a total of over 50 Gray-Silver equipment and 13 Yellow-Gold equipment. Zhang Yang was on the verge of filling up his inventory.

"Little Yang! The official site had released information about the tiers of Battle Companions. Check out little Felice's grade. How many stars is she?" said Fatty Han through the voice comm just when Zhang Yang was starting to get annoyed at picking up equipment.

"Oh," said Zhang Yang as he nodded unconsciously. "What was it again?"

Fatty Han laughed and explained.

Battle Companions were unlike pets or mount. That had already been clearly established. It was true that there were Black-Steel, Yellow-Gold, or Violet-Platinums, but players had found out that Battle Companion had more than those grades. Felice was just too special to be even graded in the first place, but Han Ying Xue's Battle Companion Messick, and the little girl's Battle Companion "The Artist", Reina were too far apart in terms of their prowess. Messick's HP was at least seven times that of Reina!

Even though Battle Companions could equip armor or weapons to increase their strength, there was no way to tell if the Battle Companion they had was strong or weak, which left players greatly confused. Hence, when countless of players threw in an endless amount of inquiries to the officials, the developers had gotten sick of explaining and decided to release some information about the Battle Companions.

According to the officials of 'God's Miracle', they had intended to allow players to slowly discover the capabilities of the Battle Companion and find one that suits their own specific play style.

For tanks, they would wish to have DPS type Battle Companions, so that they could help kill monsters faster. That, or a Healer-type to allow oneself to last longer in battle. Inversely, DPS class players would want to have tanker Battle Companions since it would keep them from getting overwhelmed. Naturally, healing types would be effective as well. Supporters are always a welcome sight.

That being said, those categories would branch out into various subcategories under each class of Battle Companions. For example, under the tank class, there were single target or multiple target aggro control. For DPS type, there were magic attack and physical types, ranged, melee, AoE, single target, and many other branches. Theoretically, there was no strongest Battle Companion, only the best suited for each player.

Hence, the official had never released information about Battle Companions, until now, in hopes that they could prevent the game from being too linear where players would end up having the same "strongest" Battle Companions.

Zhang Yang had guessed correctly that each Battle Companion had an original grade which depended on their default equipment tier. For example, Felice would be a Mythical tier, according to her equipment. If he had not unlocked the seals on her, she would only gain levels without gaining tiers.

However, the equipment alone does not determine the prowess of a Battle Companion. If a player could farm or obtain the special equipment meant for their own Battle Companion, an originally Black-Steel tier Battle Companion could be upgraded to a Celestial superman! They could even kill a Battle Companion who started off as Holy tier!

Battle Companion had a specific growth rate which was a hidden attribute. It could be described in such a way. When a special equipment with 100 bonus Strength is worn by a Battle Companion, the effect of the Strength bonus could go down to 10 or even shoot up to 150, depending on the wearer.

For Strength type Battle Companions, equipping a Strength equipment would be beneficial for them. For Dexterity type or magic attack type, the amount of Strength they gain from the equipment would be minimal.

The system had even used a Star grading system to determine the growth rate of each attribute. The lowest was 1 star and the best was 15 stars. 1 star would only provide 10% bonus and 15 stars would be 150% attribute bonus. This was not limited to only equipment. It was the overall stat bonus. For example, when a [Vitality Magic Scroll] is used to provide 100 bonus Vitality, a 15-star Vitality Battle Companion would gain a 150 Vitality points boost, while a 1-star Vitality Battle Companion would only gain 10 Vitality points, even if the original effect was 100 points.

Normally, like players, a magic attack type Battle Companion would have higher stars for their Intelligence and Spirit attributes and lower stars for Strength and Dexterity. It would be as simple as equipping armors and weapons to see the changes. A tank type Battle Companion would have better Vitality star points, while physical attack type Battle Companions would have higher Strength and Dexterity stars.

"Little Yang! What are Felice's attribute star points?" asked Fatty Han excitedly. "My Napolita has 8 stars in Intelligence, 7 stars in Spirit, but her Vitality only has 6 stars."

Napolita was Fatty Han's Battle Companion that he had obtained just a few days ago. She was a busty, blonde chick. Hmm…the important factor was indeed her bust.

Zhang Yang wavered a little. "Didn't you say that 15 stars was the best? Are you already that satisfied with her?"

"F*ck! Where can you find a Battle Companion with 10 stars in any of their attributes? Just look at the official database! Anything with 7 stars is already pretty good!" said Fatty Han as he defended his big hooters. I mean, his busty Battle Companion.

"Hey! I asked you to check Felice's star count!"

Chapter 528: Attribute Growth Star Points

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhang Yang finished off the harpies around him and then opened the character window. Compared to when he first started the game, Zhang Yang now had three tabs of windows to browse through, two of them having been added over time. The first, being his own character profile, the second was the summoned pet and battle pet and the last one was the Battle Companion window, where he could look up Felice's stats.

As expected, beside the five basic attribute points, the attack and defense properties, there was a string of stars behind each of the five main attribute points, indicating the level of growth Felice had.

Vitality, 10 stars! Strength, 10 stars! Dexterity, 10 stars! Intelligence, 10 stars! Spirit, 10 stars!

They were all 10 stars! A perfect balance!

Zhang Yang was shocked. If he had not heard to Fatty Han saying that having more than 7 stars is considered strong enough, he would have considered Felice's growth rate to be average! As the saying goes, jack of all trades, master of none. In any online game, investing in all attribute points would be suicidal. Truthfully, if he could, Zhang Yang would wanted to have all her Spirit points to be cut in half and be invested in Strength and Intelligence so that they would be maxed at 15 Stars instead. That way, Felice's attack in her human form and her Dragonhawk form would be much higher.

"Little Yang! Come on, dude! Tell me! What's the star count for Felice's attribute? Don't hide it though. Even if Felice does not have much room to grow, I would laugh. You know? Grade or tiers, does not determine growth power! Haha!" Fatty Han laughed.

Zhang Yang cringed but quickly smirked. He then screen-shotted Felice's attribute properties and let Fatty Han feel the burn in his face. "Here, have a look. Don't feel too disappointed when my Felice beats the sh*t out of your busty dullard!"

"What's up with that!? 10 stars! All of them!?" cried Fatty Han disgruntledly.

It was no surprise that Felice had much greater power than the rest of the Battle Companions. She was, after all, the first Battle Companion in the game, and was the one who had unlocked the Battle Companion system. If she had been rubbish, it would have been highly irresponsible for the developers to do so for the first player to discover her.

Fatty Han was dissatisfied. He then proceeded to look for Hundred Shots and Endless Starlight to compare their Battle Companions. Perhaps, he was hoping that they had inferior Battle Companions so that he could stroke his ego. All 10 core members of Zhang Yang's team had obtained their own Battle Companions, ranging from Gray-Silver to Mythical. Everyone happily reported their Battle Companion status for a little comparison.

Among all of them, the best was unsurprisingly, Felice. Coming close to her was Sun Xin Yu's Battle Companion, Ankh the Assassin, and then Messick the mother*cking pervert.

Ankh was covered in a black tight suit and had hide behind a black veil that covered everything from head to shoulders. Despite leaving no skin exposed, everyone could easily determine that Ankh was a lady from the body outline of her tight suit. Truth be told, she was a carbon copy of Sun Xin Yu. Ankh's original tier was only Gray-Silver. Despite that, her attribute growth was strong. Vitality, 6 stars. Strength, 7 stars. Dexterity, 10 stars. Intelligence, 1 star. Spirit, 1 star.

Even though her Intelligence and Spirit points were the lowest, Ankh had made up for it with extremely high Dexterity. She was an Assassin class Battle Companion. Having 15 stars in Intelligence and Spirit would not do her any good. Ankh was a good example as to how tiers do not determine a Battle Companion's prowess.

Sun Xin Yu was a burst damage type of player. It was natural for her to pick a Battle Companion that suited her playstyle. Perhaps, one day when Sun Xin Yu has Ankh equipping a full set of Violet-Platinum weapon and armor, she would be able to stand together with Sun Xin Yu and deal an explosive amount of damage. That's what gamers refer to as nuking. A nuking playstyle focuses on a large amount damage dealt over a short period of time. Perhaps, even tank class player like One Sword Stroke would not survive after being bombarded by Sun Xin Yu and Ankh.

As for Messick, the cowardly, persistent, and perverted little bugger only had 5 stars for his Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, and Spirit. However, his Vitality was 12 stars! Even stronger than Felice!

Hmph. Such high Vitality befitting of a coward!

However, 10 Stars should not be Felice's full potential. She still had four seals that had yet to be broken. Zhang Yang believed that the breaking of the seals would definitely have a positive effect on Felice's strength. If every seal grants Felice an additional 1 star for her attribute growth, Felice would be a Battle Companion with 14 stars for all her attribute points!

It had been sometime when all 10 of them had gathered together. Naturally, jokes and teases were flying around. Out of the blue, Hundred Shots went silent and withdrew from the merry conversation. Zhang Yang noticed his odd behavior and observed him. Zhang Yang realized that Hundred Shots was actually having a conversation with someone else through the messenger. After a while, Hundred Shots nodded and quickly came back to the group. "Dragon Throat Fortress has been conquered!"

Zhang Yang was the first one to be surprised. "Hundred. Where did you heard the news from? If Dragon Throat Fortress was conquered, the system would have announced it!"

"Oh! Right! Give me a second," said Hundred Shots as he placed his hands on his ears for a second. He then laughed awkwardly and said, "Haha. My bad. Sorry for agitating everyone. Dragon Throat Fortress has been conquered. But it was only the Hard mode and not the Hardcore mode. It was taken down by a guild from Europe call "Mess Up Your Mama"!"(1)

Mess Up Your Mama?

Almost everyone cringed, while others twitched a little when they heard the rather bold and senseless name.

Zhang Yang remembered something and then explained the situation to them. "If I'm right. Mess Up Your Mama is a direct onomatopoeia of the Latin name Nihilum. It does mean anything, but the guild is undoubtedly strong. Leave them be for now, but don't let your guards down. They are strong, and we should watch our backs."

"Heh. Sounds like another bunch of proud mother*ckers." Fatty Han puffed. Lone Desert Smoke was not doing any better than the other guilds. They were still stuck at the last boss and could not finish it off. The problem was that the boss' attack power was too strong. At the same time, the demand of the dungeon for players' DPS was also too great. Fatty Han had the Vampire Inheritance transformation, but when it was on cooldown, there was nothing that the party could do, besides slowly grinding their way in.

Even though Nihilum had already taken down the Hard mode, that result would never earn the right to trigger a server announcement. Still, no one could deny that they had already displayed the potential to raid the Hardcore mode of the Dragon Throat Fortress. To unlock the Hardcore mode, one must first defeat Hard mode. Similarly, to unlock Hard mode, one must first defeat Normal mode.

"Hey dummy, shouldn't we join the exploration team as well?" asked Han Ying Xue. The exploration team consisted of 50 qualified members. However, it did not include top players like Zhang Yang, Sun Xin Yu, Wei Yan Er, Han Ying Xue and the other strong members. Only Hundred Shots, Endless Starlight, Fatty Han and Fantasy Sweetheart had joined the team.

Zhang Yang shook his head to deny Han Ying Xue's proposal. "Worry not about losing the First Clear Achievement. Hardcore mode is not that easy to defeat. In fact, we might still lose even if we join them now. I suggest we spend our time to search for the Inheritances instead. Hundred, Mountain Mover will be reaching to Level 100 soon. When he does, I need you to hand over the commander position to him. In the meantime, why not search for Inheritance for yourself?"

Hundred Shots was the man who had obtained the overwhelming dragon pet in Zhang Yang's previous life. Zhang Yang did not want him to preoccupy himself with any more dungeon activities that might directly affect the chances of him obtaining the Red Dragon pet. Even though he had only managed to obtain B or C class Inheritance, he was on par with an A class Inheritance player when he acquired the Red Dragon pet.

According to Zhang Yang's well thought out plan, Hundred Shots would obtain the Red Dragon pet while Fatty Han takes the Phoenix pet. With two mythical creatures pairing up, it would be a fearsome presence in the game. The means to obtain the Red Dragon was completely mysterious, on the other hand, the Phoenix pet was just a hidden class quest of a hunter. Still, there was a capture prerequisite, one had to be Level 120 before they could even try to take on the quest.

"Oh! Mess Up Your Mama was able to raid the Hard mode because two of their players had Inheritances," said Hundred Shots. "According to the local forums there, the two players' Inheritances were C class.

Zhang Yang smiled, "There's no need to worry. C class Inheritance is strong, but its prowess would only help them to defeat the first five boss of the Hardcore mode. The last few ones would be extremely difficult."

The stronger the Inheritance, the stronger the boss would be in the chain quest. For example, the black dragon that Zhang Yang had to face would have been completely impossible if Felice did not go crazy back then. Even if he had forced all of his guild members to reach Level 120 and kill the dragon together, they would still lose. They might stand a chance if Zhang Yang asked for the help from Crimson Rage and Sky High!

On the other hand, the Vampire Inheritance bosses were only possible due to Zhang Yang already possessing the God of War Inheritance. On the other hand, Inheritance Classes D and below would only cough out easy bosses. Players would only need to kill mini-boss like entities and run around the world.

"Zhang Yang, when are you going to help me get all the remaining pieces of the Inheritance Fragment?" Han Ying Xue asked impatiently. She had already gathered five pieces of Inheritance Fragments. The other five pieces should be in the hands of the Hell-family Priest. If both sides do not end this cowardly conflict, the Milkmaid Deity Inheritance would never surface.

"Relax. Don't rush into things. If you do, they will too! Just let them be. When they can't take it anymore, they will strike first, and that's where we'll be waiting for them!" said Zhang Yang. "Then again, even if you have all Inheritance Pieces, it would matter since an S class Inheritance quest boss would not be an easy target. I'm not even sure if we can defeat it yet!"

It was the truth. When they were fighting the Vampire Count Ferra, it had taken all they had to survive. The boss for the Milkmaid Deity quest should be on the same level as the Black Dragon King. Even if Zhang Yang and Fatty Han transformed, two hours might not be enough to defeat the boss!

At least, in the meantime, they should lay low and grind to Level 120 to remove the Level Gap Suppression to win! In the meantime, the group should be able to gather more Forbidden Scrolls to increase the chances of winning.

After the chatting session, everyone left to do their own business. Zhang Yang then moved on and found himself a large cave. It was at least the size of a basketballs stadium with a height reaching to 30 meters tall. Stalactites glowed, protruding from the ceiling of the cave, illuminating the interior with a white-warm light.

At the deeper section of the cave, there was a stalactite that housed a large bird's nest which measured at least the 5 times the size of a king-sized bed. Inside the nest, a large female harpy was sleeping happily. Around the area, there were many hard to see sticks that were arranged in a long row.

[Harpy Queen, Yaniboque] (Mythical, Humanoid)

Level: 125

HP: 37,500,000

Defense: 5,200

Melee Attack: 30,157 – 34,157

Skills:

[Death Shriek: Unleashes a devastating sound wave to deal 30,000 physical attack to all targets within 40 meters.

[Tackle: Flies in the sky and shoots down at breakneck speed to claw a target. Deals 100% melee physical damage. Damage will be doubled if either the Head, Neck, Chest, or Abdomen is struck with the skill.

[Tear: Tears a target apart with sharp claws. Deals 100% melee physical attack and reduces the healing rate of a target for 50%.

Note: The queen of Harpies, greedy, gluttonous, and has a lust for spherical-ended, pillar-shaped objects.

While the queen was sleeping, 20 elite tier Harpy guards stood guard around their queen.

Translator Note:

(1) Mess Up Your Mama – This one was rather hard to translate but the mandarin words were 黑你老母. According to the context itself, the pinyin of it (hei ni lao mu) sounds like Nihilum. Hence, when the Chinese read it out loud, it would sound something like hei ni lao mu. For the novel, we will use the official name Nihilum as the author had stated it in official context like a system announcement. But when the author uses 黑你老母 in conversation– we will retain its original meaning and use Mess Up Your Mama.

Chapter 529: The Harpy Queen

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Away with you! Instead, bring me back the little wooden puppet that would grow his nose when he lies!" The harpy queen drawled lazily.

"Yes! My queen!" Two elite guards knelt down and saluted.

Zhang Yang roared and paced over boldly. "No need to waste your time. Might I suggest you clean your neck a little so I that wouldn't stain my blade when I remove your head!"

"Insolent!" All 20 elite guards raised their spear and glared at Zhang Yang. They awaited for their queen's command to act.

"Hm?" The queen widened her eyes as she lazily crawled out of her nest. She spread open her glorified wings and hovered a few feet above the ground without the need to flap them. Judging from her completely naked upper body, all men would have slobbered over her, but their mood would be killed instantly when they lower their gazes to her lower half, which looked like eagle talons attached to the end of chicken drumsticks.

When Yaniboque spotted Zhang Yang, her expression turned incredibly lustful. "Hm. Hm. It's a little human warrior. Come here my dear, please me and I shall spare your pathetic life~"

Zhang Yang glanced around and saw that the sticks arranged in a row were completely gnawed off. Some of them were even broken. Fuh. No wonder she was A Mythical tier boss, perhaps she was graded that way due to her level of lust! Zhang Yang drew his hammer and hurled it in the air. "Bird lady! Perhaps you would want to have a taste of my Ru Yi bang's power!"

Who could have known that Yaniboque would look at the hammer's long and rough appearance and slobber around like a bitch in heat. She giggled happily and said, "No bad~ Mm~ The stick is long and rough~ But is it hard enough for me~~"

Zhang Yang could have tossed the hammer over to her and let her rub it against her huha. How could a boss behave such a way!? Which developer was responsible for this boss' development! Bring him out and give him a thousand years worth of torture. Zhang Yang was trying his best to anger the boss, yet she was greatly delighted, or perhaps, took it as an invitation?

What's done is done, might as well just attack and get it over with.

Zhang Yang activated the God of War Transformation. His character glowed with a golden radiance and illuminated the cave for a brief second.

"Ah hah! Wonderful! You are a Harpy as well!" cried the Harpy Queen in an orgasmic voice. "Come and please me! If you can, I will marry you and pleasure you every single day!"

Oh lord, have mercy on this lost soul…

Zhang Yang completely shut himself out from listening any longer. He activated the {Spear of Obliteration} and engulfed the hammer in his hands with a shroud of dark cloud. With great force, Zhang Yang hurled the hammer in his hands towards the queen. A splatter of blood spewed out of the nest, accompanied by a scream of pain.

"Urgh~~" cried the boss. With rage, she commanded, "Kill that man!"

All 20 elite guards spread their wings and zoomed towards Zhang Yang. In a neat formation, they surrounded him and thrust their spears at him.

Zhang Yang reached his hands out and called his hammer back to him. Once the hammer got to his hands, he struck down hard at one of the elite monsters. The monster had taken more than 80,000 damage, generating so much Rage points that it filled up his gauge to its maximum. The monster was sent down to the ground and had even formed a deep crater as it hit the earth. With quick movement, Zhang Yang flew around the cave and shot towards Yaniboque, casting {Destructive Smash} the moment when he was right above her.

'-380,004!'

Now that is what you would get when you are not under-level!

The queen took the damage and had her head slammed down forcefully. The damage was so high that any DPS class would be ashamed of themselves, wishing that they could just dig a hole and hide inside. Zhang Yang flung his arm out and cast {Glare of the Death God}. The skill failed and was only rewarded Zhang Yang with a large text - "Resist!"

Such a pity that the boss-killer skill had such a low success rate on a boss. The effect was like the {Frost Strike} and the Frozen effect. For players or any normal monsters, the success rate would always be 100%. But when the target is a boss, the success rate to freeze the boss would be so low that even an ant would not feel a thing if they had stepped on it.

That being said, Zhang Yang could kill a Mythical tier boss and would still have much time to spare in his God of War Transformation skill. Using {Glare of the Death God} would not make much difference. It's like adding salt into the sea. Go ahead and resist, the fight will last only for a few minutes, anyway.

"Bastard! Human! Despicable humans!" Right then, she had lost her lustful emotion towards the man, or perhaps, had only diverted her lust only to the hammer that Zhang Yang was wielding. The harpy queen spread out her wings forcefully and whipped out her talons to claw at Zhang Yang's chest.

{Tackle}!

Zhang Yang raised his shield immediately. A loud metal scratch was heard along with a deep mark on the Titan's Shield. The attack had immediately deducted 18 points of the Shield's Durability (1) and also knocked Zhang Yang backward by 4 to 5 meters. Immediately, Zhang Yang was surrounded and attacked by the group of elite monsters.

'-232!'

'-892!'

'-122!'

'-0!'

A series of pathetic attacks landed on Zhang Yang. With his 12,000 Defense points, almost all elite monster's attack would not make much damage, even if they do, the residual damage that manages to get pass through the Defense would still face a 20% damage deduction and 2,606 damage absorption! For them to even deal a few hundred damage meant that they had quite a respectable amount of attack power.

Zhang Yang's Vitality Aura had been leveled up to Level 6. The bonus Vitality was as high as 24%. His original 122,120 HP was multiplied by 40, granting him a godly 4,884,800 HP! A few hundred damage was nothing but tiny specks of thorns for him.

{Horizontal Sweep}!

Wham! Bam! Boom!

Instantly, a series of 160,000 damage burst out, some of them were even 330,000 damage! If only one of them was a Lucky strike, the damage would reach over 500,000! Such a damage could kill an elite monster in just two hits!

"Argh~~" Yaniboque cried in pain. Just then, her voice grew louder. It grew so loud to the point that the sound wave was visible to the naked eye!

{Death Shriek}!

'-11,794!'

'-29,120!'

'-28,200!'

Zhang Yang, Felice, and Whitey Jr. took damage. Naturally, the damage Zhang Yang taken was the lowest among the three. The poor flying serpent had only 34,960 HP. The attack had nearly killed the poor reptile! Felice on the other had was in her Dragonhawk form, having only 880 Defense, and the damage she took was the highest. However, it did not matter, since her HP was ridiculously long.

Zhang Yang tossed a bottle of potion and a [Bandage] to Felice and she automatically healed herself. The little girl could be said to be a player herself. However, she had no inventory and had to rely on Zhang Yang to physically give her items to heal herself. As for Whitey Jr, Zhang Yang had activated {Wild Recovery}, allowing it to slowly restore its HP, 5% at a time.

"None shall harm me and live to tell the tale! Die! Death be upon you for disobeying my wishes!" Yaniboque shot into the sky and suddenly zoomed in at Zhang Yang at a high speed. Zhang Yang could see her afterimage that was heading towards his head!

{Tackle}!

If the attack lands on him, it would cause double damage!

Zhang Yang raised his shield despite {Block} was still on cooldown. A loud "skrriiiing" was heard and a loud "pak!" came after. Yaniboque's talon had forcefully pierced through the shield and had clawed at Zhang Yang's head.

'-13,520!'

Unfortunately, the boss' attack had damaged the shield; however, the attack was somewhat weakened, since it had only cause normal damage to Zhang Yang.

D*mn! No wonder they say that the shield was a replica! Although the Titan's Shield was a Violet-Platinum tier equipment, it had failed to block the boss attack without being physically damaged. That attack alone had removed 120 points of Durability! F*CK!

Zhang Yang had started to be mindful of his shield and hesitated using his shield to block any more attacks. Once the Durability of the shield reaches 0, the item attributes will be rendered useless! The shield alone gives 1,344 Vitality points, with both the Vitality Aura and the God of War Transformation skill multiplying its effect, it provided Zhang Yang 666,620 HP. If the shield was broken, he would lose that much maximum HP.

Yaniboque's attacks came one after another without any pauses. Just 10 seconds later, the boss used {Death Shriek} again and dealt damage to everyone. The poor flying serpent had only managed to recover 50% of his HP, hence he was killed instantly. Felice, only other hand had managed to recover only 20,000 with the potion and [Bandage].

The AoE attack was starting to get annoying.

However so, it was meant to be that way. If it was not annoying, they wouldn't be fighting a high-leveled boss! Faced with such a boss with such a devastating AoE skill, players cannot win the boss by sheer numbers. They would need to send multiple batches of players to swap around.

Zhang Yang frowned a little and cried, "Felice, I need you to withdraw for now!"

"But…Big brother! Felice wants to help!" cried the little girl disgruntledly.

"Do not fret. Big brother can take on the harpies alone!"

"Ok!" cried Felice. She then left the boss' attack range and had accidentally kited one of the elite guards with her. The little girls then sent one {Fire Missile} at the monster, before morphing into her human form to attack with her lance.

The monster, despite being an elite tier, could not handle Felice's powerful attack. In only a few hits, Felice had killed the monster.

"ARGH--!" Yaniboque shrieked once more and blasted out echoes of sound waves.

30 seconds after Felice had withdrawn from battle, Zhang Yang God of War EP had gained 3 points. He then quickly activated {Crushing Strike}, sending beams of light bursting out of the earth and damaging all monsters around. Sadly, the attack will never be stronger than {Horizontal Sweep}. Still, EP was given to him for free, and since the only skill that he could spend them on was {God of Wart Crushing Strike}, might as well use it rather than leaving it to gather dust.

After a series of {Horizontal Sweep} and {Thunder Strike}, Zhang Yang had successfully killed all the elite monsters, leaving the boss alone with Zhang Yang. During the fight, Zhang Yang was finally done analyzing the boss' {Death Shriek}. At most, the boss would use the skill once every 8 seconds to 15 seconds.

Now able to time the attacks of the boss, Felice was able to join in the battle. Every time the skill was used, she would have to rush to the furthest range possible and fire three counts of {Fire Missile} before retreating from the battle to heal. Even though it was a waste of time which would diminish her overall DPS, it was better than being dead!

In truth, even though he was rather nervous, the entire boss fight was just a walk in the park. If he had fought the boss head on, he would have taken close to 7 to 8 minutes. His DPS was over 87,000, coupled with Felice's "weakened" DPS of over 12,000, the total DPS would be around 90,000. If he had a few hits that produced a critical or even a Lucky strike, the total time taken would have been shorter!

It was nothing but a cake walk!

All S class, A class, and B class Inheritance had been adjusted in a way where players can only obtain them once they reach Level 120. Hence, truly powerful bosses would only make their appearances after level 150. Right then, when Zhang Yang had not yet even reached Level 120 and had already obtained the God of War inheritance, he was like a US Special Force that had been sent to fight the Hans or the Mongols. No matter how strong the boss is, even if it was trained in the ultimate form of martial arts, it would not be able to stop Zhang Yang's simple Desert Eagle 50 AE bullets from blowing its head up.

Zhang Yang could not help but feel truly lucky. When he had just obtained Felice as his Battle Companion and took on the God of War Inheritance quest, Felice was able to destroy the Black Dragon with ease and had led to the early procurement of the S class Inheritance. Right then, from Zhang Yang's perspective, all bosses around his level were like weeds in a field.

Such a relaxed period should only last until Zhang Yang surpasses Level 150. The bosses in Level 150 maps have had their difficulty adjusted to take on players with at least C class Inheritances. A few of the bosses would even require a team of B class tanks and healer players to fight together. For Zhang Yang, a player with the S class God of War Inheritance, he could easily make an Ethereal tier boss grovel at his feet when he activates the Transformation!

…

Yaniboque shrieked, clawed, zoomed, and tackled Zhang Yang like a deranged woman. Although her attacks were not weak, Zhang Yang's overwhelming Defense had turned them into needle pricks. After damaging Zhang Yang by over 2,000,000 damage, she was defeated and had fallen down to the earth, leaving her blood all over the ground.

Zhang Yang headed over to the boss to quickly collect all the battle loots. The time remaining on the God of War transformation was still plenty enough for him to go for one round of grinding. The boss drops were rather fair; one Mythical tier Heavy Armor Greaves and two Violet-Platinum equipment, a ring and a dagger. There was one more skill book and an iron key which, according to its description, should be able to unlock Yaniboque's chest.

Zhang Yang took all the items and tossed them into his inventory before splitting up with Felice to search the room for a treasure chest.

As he searched around, he reviewed the items that he had just acquired.

[Marronda's Ring] (Violet-Platinum, Ring)

Vitality: 212

Intelligence: 137

Sprit: 137

Equip: Increases 270 maximum MP.

Equip: Increases 2.1% damage.

Equip: Increases 0.7 Critical rate.

{Unidentified}

Level Requirement: 120

Note: Marronda was a spirited adventurer Spellcaster. He was famous and renowned for venturing into places of great danger. Looks like his journey has ended. Let's hope that the great Spellcaster had not been tortured too greatly before he died.

Pass…As for the dagger, even though it had a Level 120 Level Requirement, it would be placed in the Little Merchandise Shop for sale, since it did not have a lowered Level Requirement special effect. That being said, a Level 120 Violet-Platinum would still fetch a few hundred thousand gold coins easily.

Lastly, the greaves. It was the only Mythical item that the boss had dropped. Since it was the boss's first kill, the best equipment should have a lowered Level Requirement special effect!

[Sky Soaring Greaves] (Mythical, Heavy Armor)

Defense: 160

Vitality: 889

Strength: 420

Dexterity: 420

Equip: Increases 1,700 maximum HP.

Equip: Increases 3.5 % healing rate and damage output.

Equip: Absorbs 358 damage on attack.

Use: Increases 50% movement speed for 15 seconds. Cooldown: 30 minutes.

{Unidentified}

Level Requirement: 120

Special: Lowers the Level Requirement by 20 Levels.

Hah…Finally! An item that he could use immediately!

Translator Note:

(1) Durability, the maximum durability points of that shield was never mentioned in the novel. It was not known to how much was the maximum durability points does each weapon has.

Chapter 530: The Messenger Man

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Last one, the skill book.

[Pet Skill Book: Shatterpoint Weakness]

Use: Teaches you pet the skill {Shatterpoint Weakness}.

Zhang Yang was dumbfounded. Yaniboque was a Level 125 boss, despite not being the strongest entity in the map. Even so, since it was her first kill, the skill should be of some caliber. The problem was, which pet should he put the skill on?

The Mythical Turtle was the highest tier among all, but its movement speed was too slow. The flying serpent on the other hand was a flying mount, and a magic attack type, and under certain conditions, it had more damage output than the white bear. However, since its mass and size were too large, not all maps, or fields could accommodate for it. On the other hand, the white bear was useful in tight spaces. However, the bear was of a physical attack type. Its attacks were greatly behind that of the flying serpent. In cases where the flying serpent could be sortied, Zhang Yang would have never thought of using the bear.

What a drag!

Might as well gets his hands on a Thunderhawk as soon as possible. It is Violet-Platinum, magic attack type flying mount that was much slimmer and smaller than the flying serpent. As it would be easily summoned in constricted spaces, it would solve the problem of who to teach the skill {Shatterpoint Weakness}.

After he had steeled his decision, Zhang Yang kept the skill book instead of using it. He had decided to use it on the Thunderhawk later on to save some Pet Skill Engravement Scroll.

After circling the cave for half an hour, Zhang Yang finally stumbled across the Harpy Queen's chest. He then used the iron key to unlock the hatch and open it. A bright metal that had been carved into a long, baton-like shape lay inside. Zhang Yang picked the baton up and examined the item description.

[Zinc Alloy] (Quest Item)

Item Description: A mineral alloy found in the Skeletal Spirit Mining Cave. Only one can be found in a thousand years. The Zinc Alloy is a malleable, pliable, and ductile metal. Best for a certain type of product.

Note: Yaniboque's most precious treasure. Especially important whenever she feels lonely. Feels rough, ribbed, thick, long…and slightly bent to perfectly fit in her…

Zhang Yang frowned and twitched a little with disgust as he picked up the "Zinc Alloy" out of the box and in his inventory. He could not help but to feel a little ticked off at Margery when she had asked him to collect the metal, could it be for her own purpose? After all, she was living inside the Pandemonium. Her only neighbor was a stone giant. It could not be helped if she gets lonely sometimes…

Right then, Zhang Yang still had over 1 hour as a God of War. Zhang Yang then proceeded to move on kiting as many monsters as he could. He was still at Level 105, at 47% experience. When he was done killing everyone and the transformation skill had ended, he had gained 6% experience points. If he could maintain God of War transformation, he could level up in one day (real time).

After emptying the entire mining cave, Zhang Yang moved out of the cave and found himself inside a dark cave. He hesitated a little and thought that he might had taken a wrong turn somewhere. Right before he wanted to turn back, he picked up a putrid smell coming from a section of the cave that was devoid of light. He braced himself and move inside, only to find mountains of corpses that had already undergone putrefaction. Some of them still had fresh blood still dripping from the stumps of their headless necks. The cave… was a graveyard.

Zhang Yang ventured around, hoping to find something interesting, besides dead bodies. After digging around for a little, he found out that all of the corpse here was male. It was a little odd to find only human men, due to the fact that there many other races besides humans. There were dwarfs, centaurs, elephants, and other animals.

"F-Friend..."

An inaudible voice came from a corner, like a whisper of the wind which made Zhang Yang jump a little. He then turned to the source of the voice and found a withered body of a man.

"F-Fret…not…I'm n-not *cough* d-dead yet!" The man was a human, wearing ragged clothing that resembled a magician robes. Even though he was not rotting, there was practically no flesh in his body. His body was literally skin on bones. Nothing in between. His face was sunk inwards, which made the outline of his skull stood out.

[Marronda] (Violet-Platinum, Humanoid)

Level: 120

HP: 1 / 12,000,000

Defense: 3,300

Skills: NIL

Marronda? The owner of the ring that Zhang Yang had just obtained? It's a miracle that the man was still alive. Pity that he had only 1 HP left, a state where if Zhang Yang had accidentally stepped on him, he would be delivered to heaven. However, since Marronda was a green-friendly NPC, killing him would not do any good.

Zhang Yang walked over to him and cried, "Hold on my friend. I shall take you to a Priest!"

"Don't waste your time. I have exhausted all of my life energy. I'm afraid that I can only last for a few minutes," said Marronda. His voice was brimming with energy and he could even talk properly without stuttering.

A quest, perhaps?

Zhang Yang pats the man's shoulder and asked, "How did you end up this way?"

"Sigh." Marronda sighed with despair. "I was an adventurer like you. It is a lifetime career. An endless adventure. My goal, was to enjoy the great land and its beauty. With my great looks, my elegant mannerisms, my noble status, and my adventurous spirit, wherever I went, ladies would be slobbering all over me. Pity that men do not share the joy of my presence. I had to leave a town in less than 2 weeks! There was this one time where I was having a happy conversation with a lady in her bed, when I was ambushed and had to leave the place!"

Zhang Yang cringed. Initially, he was empathetic towards Marronda, but when he had to mention about his unruly "adventure", Zhang Yang felt like stepping on his skull to crush him there and then.

"Sigh… I was doing so well…Until, I was caught by the harpies. It was then when I knew, that my happiness was morphed to my nightmare! Yaniboque, that crazy harpy, was a horny beast! No matter how many time I had laid with her, she was not satisfied! She had even threatened to kill me if I fail to take her to the peak of pleasure. To save my skin, I had to use a forbidden spell. The spell would grant me the power of Length, Girth, and Size, at the cost of my own life energy. In the end, when I finally subdued the female harpy, I was on the brink of death. Hence, here I am."

Forget Yaniboque, the entire mining cave must have been designed by a perverted designer with terrible taste! Zhang Yang nodded his head to his own thoughts.

"My friend, the reaper is but only a few steps away. I beg you, please take this magic letter and give it to Yanny of Galant Town. Tell her, that she is the only woman I love in my life!" The perverted bugger had taken out a white glass orb and shoved it in Zhang Yang's hands.

'Ding! Marronda has a quest for you: Message for Yanny. Will you accept it?'

No matter how lustful a person maybe, there will always be one person that he truly loves! Zhang Yang was not disappointed after all. Zhang Yang accepted the quest and the man's head slump over, breathing his last breath.

Zhang Yang sighed placed his hands over the man's eyes to shut his eyes lids. However, when he opened his quest log to read the quest description, Marronda had opened his eyes again!

Eh?! Could a person turn into a Spectre at such a speed?

Zhang Yang checked his properties and found that the man still had 1 HP and was a human.

Zhang Yang was furious and nudged the man's head. "You're not dead yet, why bother to close your eyes."

"I'm tired. Can't a man have his sleep?"

Zhang Yang could just slap the man with his metal gauntlet and kill him off instantly.

"Hold on, I have just remembered. I have one more magic letter. Please take this to Julie of Wumin Village. Tell her, I will never forget her beautiful eyes," said Marronda as he shove another magic glass orb to Zhang Yang.

'Ding! Marronda has a quest for you: Message for Julie. Will you accept it?'

…

"And this magic letter is for Milon of Heryu City. Tell her that I will not forget her fair legs!"

"This one is for Tinting of the Balon Island. Tell her I will not forget the taste of our first kiss!"

"This one is for Marianna of the Black Smoke Town. Tell her, I will always miss the feeling of stroking her long hair!'

…

The magic glass orbs in Zhang Yang's hands started to multiply. He had obtained so many more until he had over 20 orbs in his hands, which forced Zhang Yang to place them around him to take more from Marronda. The man was a pervert of mythical proportions. When he started to shove more orbs, he did not stop!

20…30…50…90!?

Thud! It was the 35th or 36th time when Marronda suddenly dozed off.

Zhang Yang shooked his head and said, "Bro, enough with your sleep. Come on, how many more women have you actually pissed off."

Marronda did not respond. Zhang Yang was stuned. He then checked the NPC's properties and found the man was already dead.

Well, sh*t. Even the reaper must be tired of waiting for so long and had just given up on waiting.

Zhang Yang felt like he had just taken a looooooong assignment. He opened his quest long and found there was as many as 90 messenger quests that he had to complete. However, there was one question that lingered in his mind when he had accepted the 30th orb in his hands. Should he just give up the quest? It was clear to anyone that a messenger quest was worth only a tiny speck of experience points and would not reward them with anything valuable.

Furthermore, the 90 messenger quests could never have a follow-up quest after. It would just be a complete waste of time.

Eh…wait a minute. Zhang Yang suddenly recalled in his past life, a player had stumbled upon a main story quest. When he was interviewed about it, the player revealed that the quest had started off with a long and draggy messenger quest.

For such a time-wasting quest, out of 100 players, perhaps 99 of them would automatically give it up. Even if there were players who would be interested in it, they might give up after delivering the 10th or the 20th letter!

The 90 letters were meant to be delivered to all corners of the Chaos Realm! Those that were bad with directions might take close to a month (real time) to complete the entire quest chain! What more, the return value of it was practically worthless! Only the unhinged would carry on through!

In that case, perhaps delivering all 90 letters would be of some worth since it could be related to a main story quest!

Zhang Yang then tore a [Teleportation Scroll] and returned to Morning Town, and then to White Jade Castle to have the [Sky Soaring Greaves] identified. After socketing a few [Gemstones, Zhang Yang returned to Morning Town and headed to a high-level map called Isaac Hills to hunt for a flying mount, the Violet Thunderhawk.

In truth, he had not wished to visit the Isaac Hills too early, since the monsters around there were of Level 150 and above. The highest-leveled monsters around the hills were Level 180. With such huge gap between him and the monsters' levels, it would be extremely tough for Zhang Yang to kill even a single normal tier monster.

When he had just entered the new map, monsters from as far as a hundred meters away had rushed over to him like sharks that had picked up the scent of blood. In a Level 150 map, normal monsters would have the same power of a Level 100 Violet-Platinum boss. Adding that to the immense level gap and monster count, Zhang Yang would be facing a tough challenge.

If the power curve of monsters as they increased in levels weren't steep enough, players would have already swarmed up the high-level maps and get themselves rare tiered battle mounts. If they are lucky, they might even haul in a Mythical or even a Holy tier battle mount which would be extremely powerful once they reach Level 100.

That aside, the map in Chaos Realms was huge. That was already established when Zhang Yang first entered the portal. Without a specific direction and objective, searching for a battle mount in such a place would be like searching for a golden dust on the beach. All the while, Zhang Yang knew that the Isaac Hills has battle mounts of Holy tiers, yet it was just a pipe dream. The safest plan was to just head on, find a Thunderhawk, subdue it and escape with a [Teleportation Scroll].

Chapter 531: Violet Thunderhawk

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After the greaves were Identified, the stats had been increased. Vitality, 1,270. Strength and Dexterity 601, and 2,500 max HP bonus. 5% damage boost and 512 damage absorption. However, the Gemstone that Zhang Yang had socketed in were Strength Gemstones to increase his attack instead of defense. Hence, the increment of his HP limit was not as drastic.

As of then, with the bonus of Vitality Aura, Zhang Yang's max HP was 134,520, 3,211 Strength, 24,547 – 28,147 melee attack, 2,480 Defense, and 2,886 damage absorption. Overall, his stats were equally balanced for attack and defense.

Along the route in search of the Violet Thunderhawk, Zhang Yang had been drawing in monsters unintentionally. In Level 130 or Level 140 maps, the monsters he faced pose no imminent threat to Zhang Yang. On the other hand, when Zhang Yang stepped into the Isaac Hills, his Rage gauge had started to charge up. He had been forced into a battle. Immediately, Zhang Yang turned his head around to search and after 2 seconds, he saw a black little dot in the sky that was heading towards him. It was a huge two headed vulture.

[Twin Head Corpse Eater] (Normal, Beast)

Level: 160

HP: 87,040

Defense: 4,260

Attack Power: 16,566 – 20,566

Skills: ???

What a ferocious beast! The twin headed vulture was still a few hundred meters away from him, yet Zhang Yang was already in its aggro range. In maps of high-level monsters, lower level players had not hopes of hiding at all!

That aside, the monster's stats were too strong for a normal tier monster. The stats alone could rival that of a player equipped with Violet-Platinum equipment. That being said, that was also the recommended gear for players to enter this map.

As mentioned before, the monster's difficulty increment was normal. In Level 180 maps, Holy tiered boss were considered to be the strong bosses whereas Ethereal tier boss were only mini-bosses. A small guild with a minimal number of strong players could defeat it. In accordance to that, a Mythical boss would be nothing but scrap then, only if they were of the same Level. Hence, a normal tier monster being as powerful as a player with a full set of Violet-Platinum gears was nothing to be surprised about.

The most important aspect was that Zhang Yang was only Level 105. Half of his gears were Violet-Platinum, and four of them was of Mythical tier. Generally speaking, Zhang Yang was already on par with the normal tier monster of that map. However, since the level gap was too great, Zhang Yang was at great disadvantage.

With a deafening shriek, the vulture zoomed through the air space and bit the flying serpent's neck. In his mounted state, attacking the serpent would mean attacking Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang raised his shield up and blocked an incoming claw attack.

PANG!

The metal plate vibrated violently and forcefully knocked Zhang Yang 7 to 8 meters back. Zhang Yang was fast. As he was reeling back, he hurled his hammer and managed to land a hit before breaking apart from the enemy.

'-12,442!'

Not bad. For such a large level gap, Zhang Yang could still deal more than 10,000 damage. It was due to the bonus 50% damage of the God of War Inheritance. Or else, his attack would have been reduced by 10% or even 30%.

"KAW!" The vulture took the hit and let out a high-pitched screech. In response to the attack, the vulture spewed out a cloud of black, putrid gas that made the flying serpent to feel nauseous. It had even wavered a little in the air, as if it was going to fall down!

'-39,342'

Zhang Yang took the damage, frowning suspiciously. It was too high to feel right and he quickly checked the battle log. The attack was a skill called [Putrid Breath] that deals 20,000 fixed Shadow damage. However, since the level gap suppression was in effect, the damage that was dealt to Zhang Yang had been tripled, hence, the staggering 40,000 damage.

Zhang Yang had expected the amplified damage, but what he had not expected was the instant cast time of the skill. If a skill could lock onto a target and could be cast instantly, the chance to dodge it is practically zero.

Zhang Yang started to feel a little scared. If a normal monster was already that strong, what of the elites or the boss?

Argh. When that happens, he will find a way to deal with it. Now that the monster is here and ready, might as well just get over with it. Zhang Yang counterattacked and won the fight after using {Shield Wall}. When the vulture died, the loot appeared in midair and plummeted to the ground. Zhang Yang had no intentions of flying down just a for a normal monster's drop and had Whitey Jr. fly higher, instead.

Unfortunately, the flying serpent was not able to fly too high. There was a certain limit to it which, highly depended on its tier. If the flying mount was a giant dragon, or a phoenix, it would be a whole new world for his flight experience. Higher tiered flying mounts could fly as long as they wanted to. The flying serpent was only a Yellow-Gold flying mount, hence, the distance of which it could fly, and the duration was greatly affected. As such, Zhang Yang was unable to dodge and avoid fighting all monsters that came after him. Occasionally, Zhang Yang would have to rely on {Shield Wall} to fight one normal tier monster.

{Shield Wall}. To fight a normal monster. Anyone would laugh at that!

Zhang Yang laughed at his own actions. Still, it would be suicidal for lower leveled players to enter this place. Zhang Yang knew the location of the Thunderhawk, that was why he had dared to enter this Level 180 map in the first place!

After killing his way forward, Zhang Yang had finally arrived at the forest that he remembered from his past life and found the sky scraping tree.

Zhang Yang was extremely fond of this place, which explained why he could remember it so clearly. Due to Zhang Yang's late participation in the game, Zhang Yang had only managed to catch himself Green-Copper tier or Gray-Silver tier mounts. It was unavoidable since higher tier mounts were only available in small amounts for players to haul. After mounts were tamed, they would never spawn again. Even if they do, the tiers would drop. It was similar to that of a boss' drop. Killing it multiple times would reduce the drop rate and the item grade.

For example, Zhang Yang's Gold Eared Bear King. When Zhang Yang first caught it, it was a Yellow-Gold tier, if a second Bear King appeared in the map, it would be a Gray-Silver tier. That was why it is hard to obtain a high tier mounts. Besides equipment, the second most important aspect of all online games would be a player's level. When you have the level advantage, you can be a few steps ahead of other players and obtain many perks such as the boss' first kill, or a dungeon's First Clear Achievements, and not to mention, the high tier mounts!

In his previous life, the information about the Thunderhawk mount being in his forest was known by many, besides Zhang Yang. Back then, Zhang Yang had to guard the place for more than a month to make sure he obtains the mount. Even though he had succeeded in obtaining the mount, it was an arduous experience that had left him exhausted. Things were so much easier now that Zhang Yang was alone! There was no one there to fight over the mount! Hence, the only threat that he would need to take care of was the parent of the baby Thunderhawk. King of the forest, the Mythical tier boss, King of the Violet Thunderhawk.

Even though Mythical tier boss was considered to be a scrapper in this map, Zhang Yang was barely on par with it! After setting and planning the battle strategy, Zhang Yang patted Felice's head and asked, "Are you ready, Felice?"

"Leave it to me, big brother! Felice will make sure that she does her job!" said Felice as she thumped her chest proudly like a knight pledging her loyalty. Zhang Yang was at ease, but he was a little worried that her super strength might ram her chest inwards and ruin her growth.

Zhang Yang's plan was to descend down with Felice and have her to lure the boss away. With her skill {Absolute Defense}, she could at least hold on for 2 minutes which would allow Zhang Yang to tame the baby hawk.

"Let's go!"

Zhang Yang pulled the reins of the flying serpent and shot down towards the sky scraping tree. Zhang Yang had been too high in the sky and could not properly identify the exact location of the nest. As he got closer to the ground, Zhang Yang could see the nest, along with a large, blue color giant hawk that rested in it. The feathers of the bird were radiating with the blue color of electricity!

[Violet Thunderhawk King] (Mythical, Beast)

Level: 170

HP: ???

Defense: ???

Attack Power: ???

Skills: ???

Due to the large level gap between them, Zhang Yang could only see the boss' level, whereas the other attributes were hidden away with three question marks. However, that information was not necessary, since he was not there to defeat it!

The boss noticed Zhang Yang's presence the moment when he could see the nest. The aggro range was almost the same as Zhang Yang's line of sight! The hawk spread its wings and shot into the sky. The sheer force of its lift-off tore fresh green leaves off the tree branches around!

Felice shot down in her human form and morphed into her Dragonhawk form while midair. When she was in the attack range, she immediately blasted off a {Fire Missile} and struck the boss with only 2,342 damage. The girl would then shot down to the ground and morphed back to her human form to activate the skill {Absolute Defense}.

While the boss was preoccupied with Felice, Zhang Yang was completely left at peace. The boss then closed its wings and descended to the ground to chase after Felice. Taking the chance, Zhang Yang flew to the nest and activated {Shadow of the Void} to leave the battle mode. Quickly, he dispelled the invisible effect and landed on the nest with the [Sealing Lease] in his hands. The reason he had entered the {Shadow of the Void} was because a player could not seal a monster during battle!

The tiny little bird, roughly the size of Zhang Yang's palm was just sitting right in the middle of the nest. The cute little bird could barely stand up, and the way it blinked its eyes lid was as cute as he remembered in his previous life. If Wei Yan Er was there, she would surely be competing with Zhang Yang for the bird.

With time quickly running out, Zhang Yang hastily used the lease on the Juvenile Violet Thunderhawk.

1%...2%...3%...45%...Pak! Failed.

One more.

1%...2%...22%...Pak.

ONE MORE!

Fortunately, the little bird was in the nest of a boss. Hence, with the boss' powerful influence around the area, there were no monsters around to disturb Zhang Yang in the middle of his sealing. Furthermore, Thunderhawks or hawks themselves were a species that are proud and non-sociable. Even during mating, they would only come upon each other for a moment, and part on to their own ways.

Hence, even if Zhang Yang was a 10,000 watt super light bulb, no monster would be able to pick up his aggro. As for the Thunderhawk boss itself, it could not even see that Zhang Yang was pillaging its nest and abducting its offspring since Felice was doing a wonderful job of kiting it away.

ONE MORE TIME!

1%...2%...3%...98%...100%!

Done!

Zhang Yang grinned happily. In his previous life, he had owned a Thunderhawk. In this life, he had managed to own one as well! The only difference was the timing of when he got it!

Zhang Yang quickly tore a [Teleportation Scroll] up. During the teleportation process, Zhang Yang unsummoned Felice back into his inventory and disappeared without a trace.

Shush!

Zhang Yang appeared in Morning Town, a big smile plastered on his face.

Chapter 532: Assault of the Japan-Korea Region

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhang Yang arrived safely at Morning Town with Felice in his inventory Battle Companion's space. Only then, did he summon out the newly obtained mount.

[Juvenile Violet Thunderhawk] (Mythical Flying Mount)

Level: 0

HP: 50

Defense: 0

Attack Power: 1 – 3

Skills: NIL

Zhang Yang was stunned. Was it not supposed to be only a Violet-Platinum tier? It took him only 1 second to realize that the same hawk he had obtained back then had probably been respawned many times over. Furthermore, if the parent was a Mythical tier boss, it should not be a mystery on why the offspring would also be a Mythical being!

Hmph. Lucky. A good haul.

Zhang Yang summoned the flying serpent alongside the hawk and brought it to grind as swiftly as he could to Level 100. The hawk could be as strong as Felice and would be a great help to him.

Even though there were plenty of players already entering Chaos Realm, they were greatly scattered around the place. The land of Chaos Realm was truly huge. Even though there were already more than a thousand players within it, but those numbers meant nothing when compared to the vastness of the land. With haste, Zhang Yang arrived at a safe zone that was completely devoid of people. He began his grinding there. Within an hour, Zhang Yang's super-powered attacks and the immense experience points of the monster in the Chaos Realm were enough to raise the hawk to Level 30. When the hawk reached the Level 30 threshold, the little hawk grew into a larger, handsome male hawk.

Zhang Yang did not stop there, he dedicated two whole days to get the hawk to level 100 and continued on until the handsome hawk reached Level 105, the limit of its level, since Zhang Yang himself was only Level 105.

Upon reaching Level 105, the hawk had grown even bigger. It was 2 meters tall and had iron-like talons that could break even the strongest of rocks. The feathers were naturally blue, with occasional streams of electrical impulses that flowed along the feather lines. Through the [Pet Skill Engravement Scroll, Zhang Yang had "cut and paste" the skill {Icy Built} and {Iron Built} from the bear, {Madness} from the Mythical Turtle, and {Bewitchment} from the flying serpent, all to the Thunderhawk. He had also let the hawk learn the skill {Shatterpoint Weakness} and two other skill books that he had already prepared, {Wild Recovery} and {Haste}. Through leveling, the hawk itself had gained three other skills on its own.

[Violet Thunderhawk] (Mythical Flying Mount)

Level: 105

HP: 177,380 (Vitality Aura in effect)

Defense: 4,480

Magic Attack: 9,629 – 11,629

Skills:

[Shared Life (Passive): Combines both HP of the master and the pet.

[Icy Built (Passive): Reduce Frost damage by 90%.

[Wild Recovery: Restores 5% HP by consuming 10 Focus points every second. Last for 10 seconds. Cooldown: 2 minutes.

[Iron Built (Passive): Increases 30% maximum HP.

[Haste: Increases movement speed by 100%. Lasts for 15 seconds. Cooldown: 10 minutes.

[Madness: Increases 50% attack speed. Grants 10% chance to restore 30% HP with every successful attack. Lasts for 10 seconds. Cooldown: 10 minutes.

[Bewitchment: Confuses the target, immobilizing it. Lasts for 15 seconds. The state of confusion will be dispelled when the target takes damage. Success rate will be lowered while targeting a boss. Casting time: 2 seconds. Range: 30 meters. Cost: 100 Focus points.

[Shatterpoint Weakness: Attempts to locate the target's weak points and causes all attack in the next 10 seconds to deal 50% additional damage. Cooldown: 10 minutes.

[Thunder Ball: Fires a ball of thunder to a target, dealing 200% Natural magic damage. Has 1% chance to paralyze the target, preventing the target from moving for 1 second. Focus: 20 Focus points. Casting time: 2 seconds. Range: 30 meters.

[Violet Thunder Slayer: Launches a Thunder Storm in an area of 10 x 10 meters. Deals 3,000 Natural damage to all target for 10 seconds. Cost: 100 Focus points. Cooldown: 30 seconds.

As expected of a Mythical tier battle pet. Even though it had only one single target skill, it was more than enough to deal 10,000 damage per second! Perhaps, it was on par with Felice in her Dragonhawk form. Besides that, the hawk had the skills {Madness} and {Shatterpoint Weakness} to start the fight. The Violet Thunderhawk was like a mobile, floating cannon. It was slow in reloading, but could deal powerful blasts that could kill any player in his own level range!

Now that his hawk had reached to the highest possible level, for now, it made things easier for Zhang Yang. He could now start to search the last ingredient, [Light of Miracle] to unlock the second seal. He could also fly to the Malevolent Tower of the Spectre Sacred Land and complete the main story quest that he had accepted when he was only Level 10. That, or the Catarina quest in the Spider Kingdom. Lastly, he would take a look at the 90 Messenger quests…

Just as Zhang Yang was deciding on which quest to complete first, Hundred Shots called.

"Zhang Yang. I had received grave news. A group of North American players has just found themselves a [Territory Conquest Order]. The Japan-Korea region players have bought it.

"Hm. That's weird. Aren't they hostile? How could they, I mean, players of two great regions be involved in such a transaction?" asked Endless Starlight.

"It's possible." Hundred Shots explained. "Through interbank transfer. After the money is transferred, one player from the North America region would allow players from the Japan-Korea region to kill him. Kill, revive, and repeat until the item is dropped upon death."

Huh! That was possible…

Zhang Yang could not help but to recall something. When players enter the Holy City in the Chaos Realm, there should be an Auction House that would allow transaction of items for a high 20% tax. The method was widely used since the system could prevent cheating in transactions, even though they had put up an expensive taxing system.

"How much did they spend?" Fatty Han asked.

" 5 million USD!"

"WOOOOAH!" cried Fatty Han. "How could a small piece of paper be so expensive."

Zhang Yang shook his head. "Under normal circumstances, the [Territory Conquest Order] could fetch up to 100,000 to 1 million. But since the japs and koks are eager to get back their territory, the North Americans had taken advantage of them!"

"Heh. It's not like the fatsos in America would stop at one. Look at what they did to Japan's Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Hehe! Perhaps even the japs are getting used to being bullied. Talk about S and M. Woooo~" said Lost Dream.

"Heh." Zhang Yang chuckled. "In that case, let's make a show for them to remember. We will make the japs and koks waste their 5 million dollars!'

"Mm. Let's give them hell."

Fatty Han got excited and roared, rousing up everyone else.

However, just when they thought that the Japan-Korea region player would attack, four days passed and there were still no signs of attack. Zhang Yang and everyone else thought that it was due to the fact that they had yet to decide on a specific guild to launch the attack. It was a national war. They've had their own land taken away by other nation. It made sense if they would prepare the strongest guild to launch a counterattack. Selections of the best guild would take a long time since they would be the guild that carries the flag of the nation. If the said guild emerges victorious, it would gain the highest honor and fame.

Hence, with such benefits at stake, there was surely be a catch to it as well. What if the selected guild loses the war? It was, after all, a matter of national war. If they fail to emerge victoriously, the guild would be deemed the worst of all. A waste of national talent that would be blacklisted! Their own countrymen might hunt them down!

As such, it made sense for the guild selection to take so long. However, it was just a matter of time before they create an ultimate strike force. If the number was small, the defense of the castle would be stronger. 1000 players could be killed with only two to three blasts of the magic cannons. As such, the longer they take to decide, the more players could join the attack since more and more players would be reaching Level 100. Since the guild was created just for the sole purpose of taking down Winst Castle, players who meet the requirement could temporarily join the guild and fight in the war. The selection of players should cover the entirety of Japan and Korea. To put in comparison, the defenders of Winst Castle would only be Lone Desert Smoke's own men. How could a single guild fight against the best players in Japan and Korea?

When they have gathered 10,000 to 20,000 players, Lone Desert Smoke might only have 1,000 or fewer Level 100 players. By then, the attack would be swift and decisive, a one-sided massacre! Again, it was a matter of time. Too early, and the attacking guild would not be able to gather enough players to attack. Too long, and Lone Desert Smoke would have gathered enough Level 100 players to attack. By then, Japan-Korea region player will lose the advantage of numbers since Lone Desert Smoke was the only Level 4 guild with a higher player capacity!

After a series of serious discussions, Zhang Yang had come up with an estimated timeframe. It was estimated that the Japan-Korea region will attack within the next 3 to 4 days. Since it was just a rough estimation, Zhang Yang had been laying low and did not hunt for bosses. He had purposely retained his God of War Transformation. Instead of grinding, Zhang Yang spent the next few days delivering the magic orbs. After the 23rd letter was sent, the system had sent the notification of the attack.

'Ding! Player Amaou Kuyoshi has used the Territorial Conquest Order on Winst Castle. The Territorial Conquest War will start tomorrow night at 7.00 PM sharp. The war will last for 3 hours. The war is limited to Lone Desert Smoke, the Defender, and Sakura no Nagare Mae, the attacker. During the war, all teleportation circles will not function. All players who die will be revived at their designated major city and cannot return to the war. Within 3 hours, if any of the Sakura no Nagare Mae guild member successfully attacks the Territorial Hall, victory will be theirs. The owner of Winst Castle will be Amaou Kuyoshi if the attackers win the war!'

Here it comes!

All guild members of Lone Desert Smoke were fired up when the notification had rang in. This was the first, authentic nation vs nation war! The main character of the war was Lone Desert Smoke! How could anyone remain calm!

Lo and behold, come another system notification that had silenced every member of Lone Desert Smoke.

'Ding! Player Hangugui Gugwang has used the Territorial Conquest Order on Morning Town. The Territorial Conquest War will start tomorrow night at 7.00 PM sharp. The war will last for 3 hours. The war is limited between Lone Desert Smoke, the Defender, and E.E, the attacker. During the war, all teleportation circles will not function. All players that who die with be revived at their designated major cities and cannot return to the war. Within 3 hours, if any of the E.E guild members successfully attack the Territorial Hall, victory will be theirs. The owner of Winst Castle will be Hangugui Gugwang if the attackers win the war!'

A second Territorial Conquest Order!

"Crap! Those K-pop guys really got themselves a second Territorial Conquest Order!" cried Fatty Han angrily.

"This is a problem…" Hundred Shots sighed heavily. "Right now, we are being cornered. Right now, we only have 1,876 Level 100 players on the guild that could enter Chaos Realm. On the other hand, I had obtain news that the Japan-Korea region have already amassed more than 60,000 members. We are being attack by 30,000 players on each sides!"

"Looks like they are attacking both Winst Castle and Morning Town at the same time! Since we have taken two lands, we'll lose both lands! The Japs and Koks want to take their revenge!"

Right then, the Japan-Korea region players had gained the advantage in numbers. If Lone Desert Smoke wishes to save both territories, they would only lose both.

Zhang Yang laughed. "There's no way we are going to lose Morning Town. For better or for worse, we could always ask for help from Crimson Rage and Sky High. Have them lend us all their Level 100 players. It's a matter of China's pride now. If we lose, the town will be taken by the Japs and Koks. I don't think that anyone from China, friendly or not, would willing to let that happen."

"Bloody hell, it's infuriating to think that the Winst Castle is going to be taken away by the Japanese!" cried the little girl.

If he manages to borrow manpower from the other guild, it would create a new problem in the future since they would want to piece of the cake. If it was a matter of national protection, it might still be a valid reason to have them lend their powers. But if Zhang Yang were to have them fight for Winst Castle, the borrowed manpower might not be on the same page with Lone Desert Smoke. After all, the ones guarding the castle would carry the name of Lone Desert Smoke. It would be Zhang Yang and the guild who gets the fame, while others remain completely unknown.

Under such circumstances, Zhang Yang could not even estimate the number of people he could bring to Winst Castle.

Lone Desert Smoke had a 40,000-player limit. If Zhang Yang wants to defend Morning Town, he would need to place 30,000 players in Morning Town. The remaining 10,000 players would be sent to defend the 30,000 men attacking force from the Japanese guild, Sakura no Nagare Mae. The odds are 1:3…no matter how, it would be tough for Zhang Yang to defend the castle…Was it too early to give up on Winst Castle…?

Chapter 533: The Empire Helps Back

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhang Yang had never planned to own Winst Castle forever, but he had never wanted to lose it so soon either! However still, the end must come. By hook or by crook, Zhang Yang would never allow the China Territory be lost! He would never allow the joke of the Japan-Korea region to be rebounded back at them!

Naturally, the first guildmasters he contacted were Snow Seeker, Sky Shaman, and Greensleeve Prince. In truth, there was no need for him to explain the situation. They had spies planted in Lone Desert Smoke. Luckily, all the guildmasters that he had contacted shared the same view as Zhang Yang. Without asking, they had all agreed to lend their members to Lone Desert Smoke. It was a gesture that any guild, friendly or otherwise would do, since it was a matter of national pride.

Not sooner after, Zhang Yang even received a private message from One Sword Stroke. Once Zhang Yang picked up the message, the first few lines were rather cross accusations on how One Sword Stroke believed that Zhang Yang was looking down on him. One Sword Stroke explained that he was not the kind of man who would still hold grudges and refuse to help his one nemesis to defend the nation. He was no traitor and would never allow the real enemy to strike their land without doing anything. Promptly, One Sword Stroke sent over 1,500 strong members to help Lone Desert Smoke.

The news spread out like wildfire. Forums had posts and topics about the war. Almost all Chinese players were enraged and invigorated. Even so, close to 90% of all players were still under-leveled, and since the manner of the war was between two guilds, even if they wanted to, they could not help out. They could only cheer their compatriots on.

During the preparation phase, Zhang Yang had even received supports from guilds that he had never heard of before. Even though the guilds were not big or strong, each guild would have a fair bit of Level 100 players. The guildmasters had kindly offered their help to Zhang Yang and offered all their eligible members to help out in the upcoming war.

As such, Hundred Shots and Daffodil Daydream were as busy as bees. First, they would need to arrange a large number of under-leveled players to temporarily leave the guild to make space for the incoming reinforcement. This process was exceptionally complicated since it involved more than 20,000 members. Once a member leaves the guild, the amassed guild Contribution points will be reset. Hence, the number must be jotted down in order to reimburse them when they return.

After a short period of time, Lone Desert Smoke was now an army of mercenaries. The guild consisted of 40,000 players from all corners of China. Naturally, there would be enemies among them, and minor arguments broke out. Some had even crossed swords and killed each other. Hundred Shots had treated the conflict as menial matter. Since the players who had entered were only on a temporary basis, Hundred Shots had only given some courteous words. It would be their choice to listen or not.

When it comes to defending Morning Town, everyone was fired up and willing to put their lives on the front lines. However, when it comes to defending Winst Castle, only a tiny fraction of them was willing to fight. A majority of the players had insisted on fighting in Morning Town. Their reason being that with 40,000 players, they could at least guarantee victory on one front.

So far, Lone Desert Smoke was the only Level 4 guild with a maximum capacity of 40,000 players. They would have the upper hand in defensive fights. If they fully focused on defense, it would be a 100% sure win rate. If they were to still lose the war, it would be better for the game if all 40,00 of them just deleted their accounts and went to sleep.

Zhang Yang sighed. The defenders were all volunteers, he had no say in the matter.

In the end, Zhang Yang decided. He would take care of Winst Castle alone!

With the God of War Transformation, Zhang Yang would have 12,400 Defense, 90% magic nullification rate, 20% permanent passive damage reduction, and 20% active damage reduction. There had to be fewer than 100 players who could hurt him much!

Even so, he still had 2,886 damage absorption skill! The only threat to him were players who had similar Transformation Inheritances. Besides that, his HP would be 5,380,800 and he had a means of restoring his health completely every 30 minutes. Defending for 2 hours would not be a problem, but the war will last for 3 hours. What could he do in the final hours?

Even though the God of War Transformation would give him a massive boost of attack, it was only 500%, not 5000%, and surely not 50000%. Players are not monsters and would not stand closely to each other to take the {Crushing Strike} like idiots. It would be a challenge for him to kill 30,000 players within 2 hours…

Perhaps, it is time to use the Forbidden Scroll?

[Forbidden Scroll: Scourging Doomsday] (Usable)

Use: Creates a 5km field from the center of the caster and deals 10% of maximum HP as damage to all targets within the field. Maximum damage dealt per target is 100,000. Lasts for 30 seconds.

Level Requirement: 100

Zhang Yang could kill 99% of all players with this scroll easily. With God of War Transformation, he could easily kill all players! SOLO!

It was settled then. Might as well be flashy for once and create a legend!

Even though the Forbidden Scroll was a rare item, it would be a worthless scrap of paper if it not used. Right then, Zhang Yang had the confidence of obtaining the second, the third, or even more Forbidden Scrolls! It would not be a waste to use it on the Japs and Koks!

Zhang Yang steeled his decision to defend Winst Castle alone, and surprise the world with his feat!

The first Forbidden Scroll could be said to be the same as a nuke. It's high time to let the world know that in 'God's Miracle', such a weapon of mass destruction exists! The best part was that no one knew about Zhang Yang having such a weapon. After the war, those who would want to launch an attack on Lone Desert Smoke would have to think thrice before doing so.

Hmm. The Japs had taken a nuke to their nation once before. This time, in the game, Zhang Yang will drop another nuke on them! Let them experience losing one more time!

Thud thud thud…

From afar, the sound of marching footsteps could be heard. An extremely large horse come to Zhang Yang. The rider pulled the reins right in front of Zhang Yang, almost trampling him.

The horse calmed down, and a knight came down. The knight's armor was big and bulky. It gave off a light greenish hue which reflected most of the light, making him look like a beacon of hope. The knight opened raised his helmet's visor and spoke boldly. "My name is Rockovich. I am here in the name of Queen Serena to expand Her Majesty's Empire. In accordance to Her Majesty's will, I am here to lead an expedition to open a pathway to the Chaos Realm!"

[Rockovich, The General of White Jade Empire] (Mythical, Humanoid)

Level: 120

HP: 100,000,000

Defense: 5,200

Melee Attack: 19,410 – 23,410

Skills: NIL.

After Serena had conquered all eight kingdoms in China's region, her had ascended to be the Queen of the Union, and had White Jade Kingdom become White Jade Empire. Zhang Yang had earlier known that the Queen would invade Chaos Realm, but he had not expected the army to arrive so quickly.

More importantly, why is this Rockovich here in Morning Town? And that HP. Surely he was not a random Mythical tier boss. Could he be an important character for a quest?

"General, why are you here?" asked Zhang Yang straightforwardly.

"As I said, opening a pathway to the Chaos Realm requires a land. The Queen had spoken highly of you and your deeds to the once King of White Jade. You have put your life on the line on more than one occasion! I will have 200,000 soldiers of the empire to rest and camp here for a few days before the Queen herself sets foot here!" said Rockovich boldly.

Zhang Yang widened his eyes. "You want to have your soldiers camp here?"

"Does it offend you? Would you assist the Empire no more?" said Rockovich, with a penance stare.

Felice was infuriated. The lance in her hand was ready to thrust out anytime to knock the man's helm off. Zhang Yang immediately held her shoulders and pulled her back calmly. He was not afraid of Rockovich. Perhaps…

"General. I am more than willing to help. But Morning Town is operating at peak capacity. I am afraid that I cannot provide enough room for your troops. It would be an inconvenience to the army itself. May I suggest that you occupy my other land? Winst Castle. Both lands have Teleportation Circles that are linked to each other."

Rockovich nodded his head. "Very well. Off to Winst Castle then."

Zhang Yang interjected quickly and said, "I'm glad to be of service. However so, General. Winst Castle has been under constant attack by the savages who live nearby the castle. It might be some danger for--"

"Danger? I am here to lead the army to a greater cause. Be it a berserking demon or the evil Spectre, I shall exterminate them easily. What of savages? They mean nothing to me!" said Rockovich proudly.

Hehehe! That's the right attitude! Just wait and see!

Zhang Yang was beside himself with happiness. Even though the Territorial Conquest War was between two guilds and other players may not interfere, it was not limited to NPCs! Zhang Yang had taken this chance to make use of the expedition army as his own troops that would not be kicked out of the war zone!

When the guild Sakura no Nagare Mae attacks, they would be surprised to see 200,000 NPC army occupying the castle! Zhang Yang could not wait to see the faces of the Japanese punks when that happens!

Such excitement!

Rockovich stood atop his horse, towering over everyone else, and commanded the army to use the Teleportation Point to travel to Winst Castle. Although the process of it could be seen by the players around, it was rather subtle and did not raise much attention. With haste, all 200,000 soldiers were teleported away. Everyone looked like hungry wolves that were forced to retract their claws and strike at the vital moment.

The news about him obtaining an NPC army was kept a secret among the Lone Desert Smoke higher administrators like Hundred Shots and Daffodil Daydream. China was a large country, there could be a chance that a traitor was already amongst them. It would be a waste if the enemy obtains news about the NPC army.

One day passed quickly and Lone Desert Smoke had gathered and prepared all of their 40,000 players. More accurately, there were only 39,999 of them in Morning Town. When E.E guild attacks, Zhang Yang would be in Winst Castle alone to welcome the players of Sakura no Nagare Mae!

E.E guild was the Korean's strongest guild while Sakura no Nagare Mae was Japan's. It was not revealed as to how the two nations decided on the attack formation. Zhang Yang only knew that the Korean guild only had professional Korean players while the Japanese guild had theirs.

Chapter 534: 1 vs 30,000 (1)

Translator:EndlessFantasy Translation

Editor:EndlessFantasy Translation

Naturally, Morning Town was filled with players of the highest capabilities. Sun Xin Yu, Han Ying Xue, Snow Seeker, and even One Sword Stroke himself was present. Additionally, Zhang Yang had even given Sun Xin Yu the Forbidden Scroll just in case. If they were to lose the Territory, Zhang Yang would be at loss for words.

Hence, there was nothing for him to worry about, while standing alone in the middle of Winst Castle!

7.00pm.

'Ding! The Territory Conquest War has started!'

As the notification rang, all non-Lone Desert Smoke players were teleported 10km away. On the other hand, players of E.E guild and Sakura no Nagare Mae were lined up neatly, 2km outside their target Territories.

Through the new battle UI, Zhang Yang could check out the forces of both army.

Morning Town: Attacker: E.E. Player Count: 30,000 Defender: Lone Desert Smoke. Player Count 39,999.

The guildmaster of E.E was extremely disappointed when he saw the differences in between the player counts.

Korea and Japan have fought among themselves for the right to choose their attack target. E.E was able to defeat all the other guilds in Korea but had unfortunately lost to Sakura no Nagare Mae. If he had been able to choose, he would want to attack Winst Castle instead of Morning Town, because that Territory was of the Japan-Korea territory. It was their pride. If they could win the war, their guilds would be award with the territory ownership, not to mention the honor and fame that comes from defeating the invaders.

Morning Town, on the other hands, was nothing but a small pile of chocolate sprinkles on top of a chocolate ice-cream. The honor of defeating Morning Town would never be on the same level of the honor of reclaiming Winst Castle. It could not be helped. Sakura no Nagare Mae was indeed stronger than E.E..

Hence, the only hope left for Hangugui Gugwang was for Zhang Yang to be stupid enough, or rather, greedy enough to protect both sides. He would need to divide 40,000 into two separate forces to defend both sides. In that case, with his 30,000 players in his guild, he could trample over 20,000 players with relative ease. However, the hope was crushed when he saw that the defending number of players was as high as 39,999. Even though he thought that Korean players were superior gamers, and were capable of fighting greater numbers, since the defenders had the terrain advantage, it might be too much to ask for.

"Tsk. Those Japs dogs have beaten us to it!" Hangugui Gugwang clicked his tongue in annoyance. There were 39,999 players here in Morning Town, that meant that there would be only 1 Lone Desert Smoke member there in the Winst Castle. Victory would be theirs even if they were to only bring 300 players!

"What a shameless bunch of Chinese swines!" cried Hangugui Gugwang as he displaced the blame on China. Hangugui Gugwang blamed Lone Desert Smoke for not daring to defend both territory, which had place Hangugui Gugwang in such a disadvantageous position.

With the war of nations looming, countless of players had already turned on their in-game recordings to record the scenery of the war. Right then, it would be too late for Hangugui Gugwang to retreat. With a gallant roar, Hangugui Gugwang laid down the attack order. Even if they had 39,999 players, what if they were truly cheap Chinese 'products'?

…

On the other side of the war zone, Amaou Kuyoshi was happy as f*ck!

Winst Castle: Attacker, Sakura no Nagare Mae. Player Count, 30,000 Defender: Lone Desert Smoke. Player Count, 1.

1…

Just one.

No one moved from their original spot as they laughed till their stomachs hurt. Just one man, trying to take on 30,000 players! Even when everyone had their guards heighten to its maximum, they could not help but relax instantly. It's 1 vs 30,000! How could they not win?! And why would they need to even put up a fight? If they would still need to take it seriously, it would be useless!

No one in the great empire of Japan is useless!

Amaou Kuyoshi laughed and said, "Fellow mates! The Chines swine have returned to their pig sty and cowered behind it! Hah! Shall we take the offering they have left for us? Hah! Remember to thank the Korean dogs for their unrelenting spirits!"

The mocking laughter continued on amongst the members of Sakura no Nagare Mae.

"Kill! Kill till your heart content!" cried Amaou Kuyoshi. He was a Sniper class player and wielded a longbow. With an intense glare, he cried out, "The NPCs inside the castle were meant to serve us, the citizens of the great empire of Japan, and yet they had betrayed their loyalty and served a Chinese swine! Such an act shan't go unpunished! Kill them all! Kill every NPC in the castle! The great empire of Japan has no need of these spineless weeds!"

"Kill!"

"ARGHH!"

All 30,000 players roared and charged into the castle doors like ants. There was only one defending player in the castle. There was no need to use the Trebuchets to destroy the magic cannons and the castle walls!

It was without a doubt, the easiest war anyone has ever fought. Or so they thought. If they had still lost the fight despite having only one defender, they would have to conduct sepukku to end their shame.

"Hmph. What a noisy bunch," said Zhang Yang as he covered his eyes. The roaring players were indeed greater than the roar of a single dragon. Zhang Yang watched as the attacking army approached the castle wall. With a sinister smile on his face, Zhang Yang walked to one of the magic cannons and loaded it with an Energy Crystal. Zhang Yang mounted the cannon and fired the first blast on the spot with the highest concentration of players.

WHAM!

A bright ray blasted off and created a large crater in the middle of the battlefield. At least more than 100 players had been vaporized by the attack. The magic cannon could deal a fixed amount of 200,000 Chaos Damage, and at that current stage, no player could take the hit without relying on skills.

Hell yeah!

Since he had the army in the castle as his trump card, he could use the cannons alone and the attackers would be held at bay. However, attacking is always much more enjoyable than defending! Plus, blasting those Japanese buggers up, up, and away is better than going into the field and killing them himself.

One blast costs 100,000 gold coins? So? Money is not a problem bro~

BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!

Zhang Yang did not hold back. In just one session of blasting, Zhang Yang had used up the Energy Crystals. Even the magic cannon was rendered useless after 10 shots. Zhang Yang shrugged and move on to the next cannon. After blasting till he was content, Zhang Yang moved on to the second cannon and blasted till it was rendered useless as well. Zhang Yang had a total of three cannons! No problem!

BAM! BAM! BAM!

The magic cannons blasted mercilessly. With each blast covering 30 x 30 meters and causing damage as high as 200,000 Chaos Damage, it was an unrivaled killing machine! After all 30 shots was fired, the Sakura no Nagare Mae guild had lost 1,821 players!

The japs were not stupid monsters. No one would be stupid enough to cluster together and die. After the first few initial shots, many of them had scattered all over the field. Zhang Yang had only managed to kill close to more than 10 persons per shot.

With a flying mount, 2km was nothing but a short distance that could be reached within the blink of an eye. A few of the players had flying mounts and had made it close to the castle wall! Zhang Yang grunted and mounted on the Thunderhawk. With a flash of blue light, the Thuderhawk soared to the sky at the speed of lightning!

D*mn!

As expected of a high tier flying mount! Not only was its battle prowess commendable, its flying speed was truly something to behold. Zhang Yang had shot to within 30 meters of a Spellcaster and before he could react, Zhang Yang shot a {Spear of Obliteration}.

'-27, 650!'

The player had taken the damage and before he could even gasp, the Thunderhawk had reached within the target's melee attack range. Zhang Yang raised his Heaven's Shaker and smashed the Spellcaster's head.

'-26,778!'

Two hits were all it took to reduce the Spellcaster's HP by half. Even though he could not examine the opponent's stats, he could judge its maximum HP and stats by accounting the damage he received and the percentage of HP its dropped. With quick calculations, Zhang Yang estimated that the Spellcaster's HP was at least 90,000.

After Zhang Yang had laid down the second hit, the Thunderhawk has activated {Shatterpoint Weakness} and {Madness}. Its original {Thunder Ball} 2 seconds casting time was shortened down to only 1.3 seconds, and its attack power was increased to 50%!

WHAM!

A ball of cracking electricity blasted off the beak of the hawk and hit the Spellcaster.

'-34,704!'

Just as Spellcaster was about to turn tails and run, Felice's {Fire Missile} appeared behind the {Thunder Ball} and dealt more than 20,000 damage, instantly removing his head from his shoulders.

"Now, that's what I'm talking about!" cried Zhang Yang with satisfaction. He led the hawk and rushed to a group of players. From the attack before, Zhang Yang's Rage gauge was already filled up. All he needs to do now is to vent all the Rage on them!

{Horizontal Sweep}! {Destructive Smash}! {Frost Strike}! {Force Strike}

Like a true God of War, Zhang Yang kept on swinging his hammer about, each swing drawing fresh splotches of blood. With the Thunderhawk and Felice together, Zhang Yang's presence was made even more frightening. Players that were on their flying mounts were limited to a few skills and could not simply escape Zhang Yang's death grip.

The players that were flying in the sky were all turned into punching bags and fell down to the ground, their corpses dismembered.

"It's Zhan Yu!"

During the war, Zhang Yang had publicly revealed his name tag. Since it was an all-out war with the Japanese, Zhang Yang wanted them to know the person that they were messing with. Players that were on the ground saw Zhang Yang shooting through the air at breakneck speed and felt a cold shiver through their spines. It was like seeing a reaper coming at you, with no hope of escaping. Even though they were disgruntled, none of them could deny that Zhang Yang was already several tiers ahead of everyone around. He was heads above shoulders when it comes to individual power.

"No fear! We, the citizens of the great empire of Japan, are the best people in the world! He is but nothing but a pig on a bird! Let him enjoy swinging that Inheritance about first, so be it! When we obtain our Inheritances, we shall be better than him!" cried Amaou Kuyoshi. "Thank the gods that he was not cowering behind the walls of Morning Town! Or we would not have had the chance to kill him! Brothers! Kill the man! The pig has come here to offer up his life!"

"Spellcaster! Hunters! Form a team of a hundred men and chase after Zhan Yu! The rest of you! Attack the castle walls! We will feast and bathe in their blood!" cried Amaou Kuyoshi like a demonic killer.

Chapter 535: 1 vs 30,000 (2)

Translator:EndlessFantasy Translation

Editor:EndlessFantasy Translation

Although regular [Mounts] were not as swift as [Flying Mounts, the gap wasn't much. The ground [Mounts] would arrive 10 seconds after the [Flying Mounts]. The army up ahead had already arrived at the front gates of the castle. They began to launch their assaults aggressively. The City Gate was not particularly tough, having a maximum HP of only 1,000,000! It was like a violent, powerful hurricane, threatening to tear the City Gate off its hinges!

A Territory Conquest is never about the kill count. As long as the attackers take down the City Hall of the Territory, victory would automatically be theirs!

So, it would not be worth their time to engage with Zhang Yang. Moreover, Zhang Yang had a [Flying Mount] that would allow him to move like lightning. It would almost be impossible to land a hit on him when he is buzzing about at that speed! Anyone could see that enemies would automatically achieve victory the moment they reach City Hall of this Territory. By then, Zhang Yang would be forced to surrender!

Zhang Yang had come all the way here, hoping to secure the Territory all on his own. Well, there is a saying about this. Attack the enemy's 'key point,' and they will come to you to defend it! So instead of wasting time trying to strike Zhang Yang down, why not force him to go to them?

Zhang Yang had not put much effort on reinforcing the Defenses of the Territory. The main City Gate is only Level 1, which only had a total of 1,000,000 HP, with 1,000 Defense and 1,000 Magic Defense. With an army full of different Classes, the City Gate would crumble within 20 seconds!

-- even then, 20 seconds is a lot. That was due to the City Gate being protected by a long, narrow arch, that made it possible for only 20 players to attack at the same time. Or else, the 1,000,000 HP would have been emptied out within seconds!

Although the City Gate had been breached, that was the least of Zhang Yang's worries. He only smiled confidently. Just when the enemies thought they had broken through the City Gate, Rockovich and his army moved out from the shadows and wreck them!

Zhang Yang had no direct control over Rockovich's actions. However, as long as Rockovich and his army are still camping in the Castle, they would treat Winst Castle as their base. Naturally, when a base is attacked, the leader of the army would rally his army around him and defend their base! It's simple common sense.

"Uncivilized savages! How dare you vandalize my base! Are you seeking for death?" As expected, a thunderous, heaven-shaking roar came right out from the entrance of the Territory. The enemy players who were in the first few rows were blasted away by an invisible, powerful concussive force! With that impact wave pushing all the players back from the ruined City Gate, Rockovich took one booming step, and another, until he stopped and stood in the middle of the entrance! Dressed in completely green, ornate armor and a Crimson Golden War Hammer in his hands, Rockovish stood there stoically, right in the middle of the Winst Castle archway!

"Bo... Boss!?"

The Japan Players dropped their jaws, as they were so shocked to see such a powerful being standing before them!

They had taken part in a few Territory Conquests before, but they have never encountered any boss level NPCs before. This was actually their first time seeing a boss level NPC standing right before them. So, why did a boss spawn in a Territory? A Mythical Tier too, at that! What the hell! 100,000,000 HP? Are you kidding me? The enemies felt as if they had fallen completely into Zhang Yang's hands!

They were even more furious that the boss had actually called them 'a bunch of uncivilized savages'?

Uncivilized savages your *ss! They are the great and powerful Empire of Japan, for god's sake! How could Rockovich call them 'Uncivilized'! They definitely have nothing to do with being 'Uncivilized'!

Instead of joining his comrades in their shock, Amaou Kuyoshi widened his eyes, sensing an opportunity. He began to shout into his guild channel, "Very good! Not only are the Chinese pigs giving us back our Territory Gateway, but they have also been generous enough to provide us a Mythical Tier boss! Haha! My little brothers and sisters! Time to slay the boss and get some powerful equipment! A boss with 100,000,000 HP is usually a Super Boss! The drops will be awesome!"

Indeed, Rockovich was only a Mythical Boss. He was not an Ethereal boss that would bring endless despair to all who dared show themselves before it! Furthermore, there was no Level Gap Suppression in effect, as the level of the boss was not too far from the level of the players here. Also, they had 30,000 players at their disposal now! Shouldn't they be more than enough to overwhelm the boss? Taking down a Super boss was all about numbers, right?

So, are they not enough for a super boss?

At his rational, logical words, every single player from Japan charged at Rockovich with renewed vigor! In the setting of 'God's Miracle', under the circumstances that players are not from the same party, any player who lands the last hit on the boss will gain an additional 50% experience points!

Although they are all under the same banner - 'Sakura no Nagare Mae', but they had actually been created from hundreds of different guilds. 'Sakura no Nagare Mae' was just a temporary guild, created solely for this battle. So, how would you expect them to be truly united? Therefore, many of them started to look for the opportunity and time to give the boss a final strike at 1% HP!

That should be about 50,000,000 experience points! Players would be required to kill more than 2,500 normal monsters just to get that amount of experience! If, by estimation, one minute is required to kill 2 regular monsters, they would still need 2,250 minutes, which was a total of 37 hours to get that much experience points. That would be almost two-days of in-game time!

Furthermore, once you leave a party, you would also get the chance to snatch the loot! Drops from a Mythical boss would certainly be impressive enough. However, for a super boss that has over 100,000,000 HP, each 'dropping' had to be a treasure for the ages!

With those thoughts poisoning their minds, every player from Japan had glowing red-eyes, like pent-up, horny old men who were in much need of a release. They all charged at the boss as if they had all turned insane!

"Humph! Mindless, uncivilized savages! How dare you raise a sword at mean! Let me show you despair!" Rockovich let out another thunderous roar as he raised up his left hand, and proclaimed, "Warriors of White Jade Empire! Leave nothing behind! Kill!"

"Rawgh!"

"Rawgh!"

"Rawgh!"

His roar was so much louder and more intimidating than the roars of 30,000 players. The entire Winst Castle trembled beneath the roars of Rockovich and his army. Winst Castle was like a gigantic foul beast, roaring upwards into the sky! The soldiers of the White Jade Kingdom began to march out from the entrance of Winst Castle, one echelon after another. There were Infantries, Knights, Hunters, Spellcasters, and also white-robed Priests! The Army had the perfect spread of various roles!

"Kill! We are more in numbers! Those are just small fries!" Amaou Kuyoshi was still clouded up in his delusional thoughts.

"All uncivilized savages are the same!" Rockovich stared the players down and began to move towards the enemy's front line. With an intimidating aura, he plunged into the enemy ranks and led his army into battle. The army of NPCs started to earning their keep!

However, the narrow entrance of Winst Castle did not do good to the NPC army as well. Because the players from Japan had swarm up on them by the entrance, the White Jade Empire troops could only squeeze themselves out slowly, like toothpaste from a tube! They had slowly force their way through. However, it was possible, thanks to Rockovich! Swing after swing, the hammer of Rockovich sent shockwaves all over the place, causing massive damage to the players from Japan. At the same time, the impact also sent them flying back, clearing some space, little by little, one wave after another, for the NPC army to emerge from the entrance!

Some of the brighter players began to react and adapt to the situation. A few Tankers took over the front line as they began to kite Rockovich away from the heated spot of the battle. They kited the boss about 1 Kilometer away from the entrance and began their assaults on the boss.

Many players had swarmed up to the boss, as the benefits of killing a boss were so lucrative. No one needed any reminder of that fact! As a result, the number of players attacking the Castle had been halved! Amaou Kuyoshi was furious to see that the players had actually been sidetracked. He berated them endlessly, pointing out their lack of foresight! They could easily hunt after other bosses in the future! It was just a Mythical Tier boss, after all. A few more levels later, and this boss would mean nothing.

Well, the Territory Gateway basically symbolized the dignity of the Japan-Korea Region. So, how long are they going to let the players from China slap their faces?

After hearing what Amaou Kuyoshi had to say, the players from Japan started to agree. After all, those who can join this battle were basically the best of the best among the Japan-Korea Region, and they understood that it was really not too difficult to farm for good equipment. As for their dignity... of course it would come first! They are the Great Empire of Japan after all! Honor and dignity will never be forgotten!

Under the 'teachings' of Amaou Kuyoshi, only about 200 players remained with the boss. A large number of the players had resumed their efforts in pushing against the large army of NPCs who guarded Winst Castle!

Inarguably, the Normal Tier NPC would not be able to do much against an army of well-equipped players! Although there were about 200,000 soldiers, they were just Normal Tier NPCs after all. Only the captains were Elite Tier NPCs.

Furthermore, the players from Japan had the ground advantage over the army. They had scattered into a curved formation that encircled the NPCs, allowing many more players to fight against a single NPC at a time. They managed to increase their efficiency in slaying the NPC one after another in the shortest time, minimizing the damage that they were receiving. The NPC army was truly in trouble!

If this goes on, the 200,000 soldiers would definitely be wiped out! It was only a matter of time!

However, that would only happen if Zhang Yang remained idle!

{God of War Transformation}!

Two large wings that radiated with angelic, bright light sprouted out from his back, and Zhang Yang was rejected off the Snake, as he was no longer permitted to be in a Mounted state. With a flick of his wings, he soared into the sky -- The {God of War Transformation} does not allow the player to be mounted to a pet.

Well, that was too bad. In his previous life, Zhang Yang was still able remain mounted on his pet even after activating his {King Kong Transformation}. Well, the developers were most likely trying to balance out the power of Class-S Inheritance. With 40 times the Maximum HP, a mounted player would be unkillable! After all, mounts added a tremendous amount of HP to players!

Shoof! Zhang Yang glided straight towards Ichiban Sake who was currently tanking against Rockovich!

Zhang Yang had observing from up above since the beginning, and he had noticed that this Ichiban Sake was also a Guardian. He had to be pretty capable, since he had managed to get a solid hold of Rockovich's attention. To gauge the capabilities of a Guardian, one would have to keep count of the rate of successful {Blocks}.

A skilled Guardian would never waste any opportunity of using the Skill {Block}! Ichiban Sake was one such Guardian. Furthermore, his movements and maneuvers indicated that he was just getting the hang of 'Supporting Attacks'. He seemed to have master it, and had the makings of a formidable foe in the future.

As the game aged, along with the Professional League Championships, many skillful players had been polished and born as they begin to show some promises in their performance. Like it goes with the mastery of anything, anyone can be a novice, or even an average Joe, but a master would take forever to form. Many would slow down greatly, or even be halted entirely as they approach the more advanced stages of the game. According to Zhang Yang's estimation, this Ichiban Sake should already be 70% as good as he was!

Of course, that 30% of Strength and skills would require about 2 to 3 years of catching up! Without any hardships, he would not be able to catch up to Zhang Yang's progress as well!

Zhang Yang did not turn to aid the NPC army, instead, he charged straight towards Ichiban Sake! The moment Rockovich has nothing kiting him, he would wreak havoc across the bulk of the player army. Additionally, Rockovich had a few AoE attacks up his sleeves, a typical trait of a boss!

Although Ichiban Sake was focused on tanking the boss, he had kept an eye out for surprise attacks! He quickly noticed Zhang Yang approaching him at a high speed! Well, some players had already acquired [Class C Inheritances, and the {Transformation} skill was no longer a stranger to his eyes. Therefore, when Ichiban Sake saw Zhang Yang flying without a mount, he figured it out -- Zhang Yang had activated a {Transformation} Skill!

He went pale white!

An [Inheritance] would really make a huge difference between players. The difference would be like heaven and hell! The power level of the player with an [Inheritance] would increase substantially!

Fortunately, Ichiban Sake did not know that Zhang Yang's [Inheritance] was a Class S. He would have turned even paler, if it was even possible!

"Musashi Ousama, Shuro Ousama, you guys take a bunch of men and stop Zhan Yu!" Ichiban Sake shouted.

Shoof! Shoof!

Two shadows appeared right in front of Ichiban Sake out of a sudden. One of the shadows was Musashi Ousama who previously engaged with Zhang Yang in the Realm of the Sacred Glory. The other one was Shuro Ousama, a Berserker who wore a black helmet, and held a gigantic axe in his hands.

"Ha!" the two of them let out their battle cries at the same time. A small tornado emerged from thin air right behind one of them, while a skeletal spectre appeared right behind the other. The phenomenon only lasted for about 1 second before the mini tornado and the skeletal Spectre vanished into thin air.

Oh! Those certainly were {Inheritance Transformations}!

However, Zhang Yang was confident that these players did not share his luck. They did not have Battle Companions like Felice who could actually boost her own power and slay a boss by herself! But they did have {Inheritance Transformations}. Zhang Yang took a wild guess and deduced that their [Inheritances] should only be Class C. They couldn't possibly be Class B, for bosses like Vampire Count Ferra were too powerful for them at the moment!

He recognized them as the [Tornado Inheritance] and the [Skeletal Spectre Inheritance]. Both of them should be Class C [Inheritances]. However, Zhang Yang had no idea at all about the details of the two {Inheritance Transformations}! Because the cool down for an {Inheritance Transformation} was 72 hours long, it was really rare to witness an {Inheritance Transformation} in action. Plus, the Professional League Championship prohibited the use of Skills that had cool down periods longer than 30 minutes, so it would be impossible to witness any {Inheritance Transformation} Skills in the arena!

However, sending two allies in an attempt Zhang Yang was futile gesture. It was like sending a mantis to stop a car!

Zhang Yang let out a cry and raised the [Heaven Shaker] high up, and swung the quarterstaff at Musashi Ousama.

'-98,226!'

After a solid strike from the [Heaven Shaker] that Zhang Yang wielded, the HP bar of Musashi Ousama was reduced by 10%!

Musashi Ousama was terrified by the amount of damage he received! What in the world is going on? He initially had a total of more than 60,000 HP, and once mounted atop his pet, he had even surpassed 100,000 HP! His Class C {Inheritance Transformation} boosted his HP amount further up to a total of 1,000,000 HP! That was the HP of a boss! But now, that amount of HP had been reduced by 10%, courtesy of a single hit from Zhang Yang! How is that fair?

A normal attack that reaches up to a total of 100,000 damage! What the f*ck! How much Attack does this bastard actually has on him?

Even though Musashi Ousama was wielding a two-handed weapon as well, a Class C [Inheritance] would only increase the Attack of the user by 100%, and the maximum damage caused wouldn't exceed 25,000 damage. So Musashi Ousama would have to hit 4 times in order to cause a total of 100,000 damage! That one hell of a difference truly rendered Musashi Ousama speechless for a moment!

But ... Zhang Yang was just one man. He couldn't possibly fight off all these players alone!

Musashi Ousama let out a roar and said, "Heal me now! Heal me!" and with his hammer raised up high, he struck Zhang Yang with all his might.

'-6,914!'

It was pathetic. Comparing to the normal attack of Zhang Yang, Musashi Ousama's normal attack was a joke! The difference had indirectly humiliated Musashi Ousama!

Are you kidding me?

Although that was just a normal attack, without any power up from any Skill, it was still a normal attack under the power of an active {Inheritance Transformation}! Why was that attack so ridiculously low? Although a total of about 7,000 damage was pretty good under normal circumstances, it was a joke compared to Zhang Yang's 5,000,000 HP. It had merely taken off 0.1% of his health bar!

"Arienai!" Musashi Ousama screamed. Fortunately for him, they had the advantages of numbers over Zhang Yang. Or else, he would have fled the scene, trying not to get himself killed! How could he possibly stand a chance against Zhang Yang!

Shuro Ousama also let out a raging roar of his own as he swung his giant axe at Zhang Yang. However, he only scored about 7,000 damage as well.

Zhang Yang laughed out loud as he began to retaliate, {Horizontal Sweep}!

'-192,234!'

'-189,988!'

Two terrifying damage values popped out on top of Musashi Ousama and Shuro Ousama as both of them lost a large chunk of their HP bars! They now truly knew despair! Even with their {Inheritance Transformation} Skills activated, they could not withstand the oppressive assaults of Zhang Yang!

Right behind the two of them were at least 10 healers chanting their Healing Skills as rapidly as possible.

Well, numbers do bring strength! With so many Healers healing their backs without having to worry about the shortage of MP, they actually managed to heal Musashi Ousama and Shuro Ousama back right up! Meanwhile, Amaou Kuyoshi was aware of the situation over there and had immediately sent more Healers to support Musashi Ousama and Shuro Ousama! Meanwhile, Spellcasters and Hunters were quickly arriving at the scene!

Chapter 536: 1 vs 30,000 (3)

With the increasing number of Healers arriving at the scene, the health bars of Musashi Ousama and Shuro Ousama were healed back to their full health states.

Musashi Ousama laughed madly as he said, "Zhan Yu, it doesn't matter how powerful you are! You are just one man! So, let us show you just how powerful we, the Great Empire of Japan really are!"

But players would always be players. They would always believe that they are the best!

Zhang Yang would definitely not act like a boss, where it's decision making choices would mainly be restricted by the aggro system of the game. So he would not only focus his attention on Musashi Ousama and Shuro Ousama! His main target remained. If he takes out that Tanker - Ichiban Sake, then he will be releasing Rockovich from the control of the players around him! Then, the Mythical Tier boss shall be able to unleash hell upon the players from Japan!

With one powerful flap of his wings, Zhang Yang flew into the sky like a dragon and in a flash, his golden wings glittered as he arrived right before Ichiban Sake. Everything happened so quickly, that none of the players could react to him.

"Abunai!" Musashi Ousama and Shuro Ousama shouted at the same time in fury.

Zhang Yang's normal attacks had reached up to a total of 100,000 damage, and his Skills would reach up to a total of 250,000 damage. No Tanker at the current stage of the game could actually tank against such terrifying damage! Only players with {Inheritance Transformations} would be able to stand up to other {Inheritance Transformations}.

Ichiban Sake reacted with impressive speed, already activating his {Shield Wall} to guard against the attacks of Zhang Yang that appeared to be as powerful as a hurricane!

But what would a {Shield Wall} do? Zhang Yang would still smash him up like a pinata!

Zhang Yang raised up his [Heaven Shaker] as the quarterstaff lit up in flames, {Destructive Smash}!

'-37,216!'

Bam!

Ichiban Sake lost his professional composure as he took the attack. To think that he would still receive such great damage from the attack, even though he had already activated his {Shield Wall}. Furthermore -- he brought up the battle log to take a look, only to find that it was not even a Critical Attack!

"Hold still! D*mn you, I'm your opponent!" Musashi Ousama pointed his finger at Zhang Yang, and a small scaled whirlwind suddenly formed around Zhang Yang, blowing him off his feet!

Zhang Yang was slightly worried, as the skill had completely immobilized him!

[Whirlwind: Summons a small scale Whirlwind to detain a target, the target will not be able to move at all. But, the target will not receive any damage or other Status Restriction Skills. Lasts for 10 seconds.

It was one of the 'Inheritance Skills' of Musashi Ousama!

{Warrior's Will}!

Zhang Yang instantly broke himself out of the Skill Effect and regained his mobility. Half a second before his Global Cool Down period was over, Zhang Yang raised his [Heaven Shaker] up high once again, ready to strike.

The Healers from the Sakura no Nagare Mae quickly threw their Healing Skills at Ichiban Sake as rapidly as they could! Although Ichiban Sake had already been affected by the {Destructive Smash} which reduced 75% healing effects on him, there were so many Healers that they were still able to restore his HP to full capacity in no time at all.

With so many Healers focused on the Tanker, as long as Ichiban Sake is not killed by a single hit, they would still be able to heal him up efficiently. It would just be like tanking against a powerful boss.

Zhang Yang sighed. Although his attack power is insanely powerful, he is still not powerful enough to instantly kill a {Shield Wall} empowered Guardian! Unless Zhang Yang can trigger both a {Lucky Strike} and a Critical Attack at the same time when he strikes, then Zhang Yang should be able to cause at least 200,000 damage to a Guardian with {Shield Wall} by activating powerful Skills such as {Horizontal Sweep} and {Destructive Smash}! Even if Ichiban Sake is mounted on his Pet to increase his Maximum HP, he would still fall within seconds!

Well, if the players from Japan knew about what he was having in his mind, they would definitely be humiliated! A life saving Skill is precisely called a life saving Skill because the Skill could save a player's life! If a player is instantly killed, even after using a life saving Skill, then what is the point of playing the game, then!

Zhang Yang let out an intimidating roar as he flapped his wings and flew back into the air. Then he faced the Healers and began to fly towards them -- the duration of {Shield Wall} on Ichiban Sake should still last for about 7 to 8 seconds more, so Zhang Yang decided to let him live for a little longer.

Musashi Ousama quickly raised his axe up and pointed at Zhang Yang as well, and he shouted, "Summon!"

Instantly, four white skeletons emerged from the surface of the ground and crawled up to their feet. These skeletons did not look like regular, slow-moving spectres. They were as agile as Spiderman himself! They began to move agilely across the battlefield as they approached Zhang Yang. Suddenly, they leaped towards Zhang Yang, aiming for all four limbs! They wanted to tear Zhang Yang apart, limb from limb!

They leaped into the air towards Zhang Yang at lightning speed! Zhang Yang assumed that the leaping must be these skeletons' Skill. The next split second, all four skeletons had grabbed hold of Zhang Yang, and with their might, they pulled Zhang Yang straight down to the ground.

Zhang Yang was shocked as he fixed his eyes upon these skeletons. These skeletons were all elite Tier, but each of them only had 200,000 HP! The skeletons had released Zhang Yang for the moment as they began to attack Zhang Yang with their white and bony hands.

Are they trying to get themselves killed?

Zhang Yang swung his [Heaven Shaker] across the four skeletons and caused about 90,000 damage on each of the skeletons. The powerful impact of the strike had knocked the skeletons back by 3 to 4 meters! He got out of the 'dangerous situation' and activated his {Charge} at one of the Priests near him.

{Force Strike}!

'-99,887!'

"Argh!" the Priest did not even last for one strike of Zhang Yang's [Heaven Shaker, and was turned to mush and jelly!

Zhang Yang humph as he stomped on the ground and activated his {Thunder Strike}! As the flashes of electrical damage surged across the Priests, and tens of them took about 20,000 damage, all affected by the 5-second speed reduction effect! They could not even flee from Zhang Yang!

"Kill him! Quickly, kill him!" At the same time, the army of ranged attackers, Spellcasters and Hunters, had finally arrived, though they were really late. More than 200 players were shooting their arrows and magic attacks at Zhang Yang.

'-0!'

'-0!'

'-0!'

Without the power up from [Inheritance, how could they possibly even cause any damage to Zhang Yang who had now been endowed with a ridiculously high Defense! Not only that, players without [Inheritances] would face a situation akin to the Level Gap Suppression when they go up against players with [Inheritances]! Their Status Restriction Skills would not do much to Zhang Yang! Although Zhang Yang was being struck by tons of Movement Speed Reduction effects and Movement Restriction effects, however, only one {Concussion Shot} had managed to affect on him! As soon as Zhang Yang took swig of [Mobility Potion, he regained his movement. He swung on with his weapon and caused massive panic among Healers as he started his version of Armageddon!

His normal attacks could reach up to a total amount of 90,000 damage. Even if players have greatly increased their Maximum HP with their [Mounts, but they would be required to be mounted atop a [Mount] that is at least a Yellow-Gold Tier in order to increase their Maximum HP up to more than 100,000 -- provided that the player is well-equipped in the first place. Well, they should at least have a few Level 100 Violet-Platinum equipment in order to achieve that amount of HP!

Therefore, every single blow coming from Zhang Yang brought instant death! Only a few players were able to withstand 2 hits or more! Even if there were, Felice and Violet Thunderhawk quickly ended them from above in the sky!

Bam! Bam! Bam!

None of the players who got hit by the [Heaven Shaker] still had their heads intact! Their heads had been smashed open, as blood spilled across the air, turning the air sour. It tasted of rust! Such horrible deaths! Zhang Yang was so addicted to killing that he did not even turn back to Ichiban Sake, even though his {Shield Wall} had long faded. He carried on slaughtering the players around him, one smash at a time! No one could match him, they could only delay the inevitable!

Zhang Yang had no qualms about killing these Japan players so indiscriminately. To him, it was like the slaughtering of chickens and dogs, or even pests! With the support of his {God of War Transformation}, other than some players who had [Inheritances] nobody could even cause a single point of damage!

As the God of War EP took some time to accumulate, Zhang Yang did not use them immediately. He intended to accumulate about 100 God of War EP before spamming his Skills all at once. By doing so, he would cause about 32,000 AoE damage to the players in every wave of his attack, and by activating each skill of his in every second, his enemies would not have the chance to heal back up at all!

{Horizontal Sweep}, {Blast Wave}, {Thunder Strike}!

These 3 AoE Skills were quickly becoming universal nightmares to the players from Japan, especially {Horizontal Sweep}! Without any Critical Damage, that attack alone could already reach up to about 200,000 damage. Without activating a life saving Skill, anyone within the attack range of that Skill would be dead the moment the Skill is activated!

How long would it take for a life saving Skill to cool down? How long would it take for {Horizontal Sweep} to cool down? Can the cool down period of these Skills really be compared, side-by-side?

In the eyes of the Japan players, Zhang Yang was now basically a boss with an invincibility buff as he was slaughtering them up without any sense of mercy. They could not hurt him at all! They could just run around like wild chickens, being pursued by a farmer's wife armed with a chopper!

Amaou Kuyoshi was so furious at witnessing such an absurd scene, and the only thing he could do was to send more players over to Zhang Yang's location. If all the Tankers die, then the DPS players and the Healers would be instantly wiped out by Rockovich!

"Slay the boss first! Focus on the boss now!" Amaou Kuyoshi shouted! The truth was clear, before his very eyes. No one could even actually break through Zhang Yang's Defense to cause damage to him, let alone empty out Zhang Yang's immense HP bar of 5,000,000 points!

After some quick deduction, it was obvious that they should focus on the boss first!

The Japan players had been separated into two sides. The side with fewer players was focused on bringing down the boss, while the side with the larger number of players was focused on the massive army of NPCs. Killing Zhang Yang or the boss was no longer their priorities. They had set their minds on taking down the City Hall of the Territory as their priority, it was why they were here in the first place.

Because the entrance of the Winst Castle had been blocked by hundreds of thousands of NPCs, the Japan players would have to kill the NPCs first to clear a path to the City hall. Meanwhile, Japan players with [Flying Mounts] were in the sky attempting, to fly over the entrance itself! It was obvious that they were beginning to aim at the most vulnerable spot of the castle! They were making their way into the City Hall!

Zhang Yang did not pursue them, because he had already arranged a massive NPC army near the City Hall, and he had also placed his 100 [Mechanical Servants] and 200 Castle Guards close by the City Hall. They should buy them enough time till the Territory Conquest ends.

Zhang Yang only sent Felice over to the City Hall to support the army, and as a pair of eyes and ears to keep him updated about the situation within the Castle. He could always fly to any location that needs him at the moment.

Rockovich had a total amount of 100,000,000 HP. Even though he was being heavily assaulted by the players, his HP bar still looked healthy! Furthermore, Zhang Yang had purposely picked on the Healers as his main targets. Because of that, the DPS players from Japan could not get enough support from the Healers as they took heavy damage from the boss' AoE attacks! They could only take their [Potions, or withdraw in order to use their [Bandages].

However, taking [Potions] and using [Bandages] required time and had cool down periods. The area and range attacks of the boss were struck out at them, one wave after another, forcing the DPS players to wait for those cool down periods! They could not even do a thing about their current situation!

Zhang Yang laughed out loud as he spread his wings and soared around the area. Meanwhile, Musashi Ousama and Shuro Ousama could only stare at him from the ground, witnessing him slaughtering up their guild members.

But they could not simply leave Zhang Yang be. The moment when Zhang Yang turns his attention over to Ichiban Sake, the poor tank would surely perish! When that happens, the boss will return to the entrance of the Castle and all hell would break loose! They knew all too well the consequences if a Super boss is left unchecked!

Of course, they could remain in their delusional worlds and fantasize about slaying Zhang Yang!

After slaughtering hundreds of Healers, Zhang Yang finally turned his attention towards Ichiban Sake. After all, Rockovich did not have the ability to heal himself, so he would eventually fall!

Shoof!

He flew towards Ichiban Sake and struck at the Guardian's head with his 'hammer'!

{Block}!

Ichiban Sake reacted like a true professional Tanker as he raised his shield up in between himself and Zhang Yang, just in the nick of time!

However, it would hardly make a difference. It barely even delayed the inevitable

What could one {Block} do? Zhang Yang still had at least 3 Skills lining up at the back of his list, ready to be dispatched, and each Skill would cause about 200,000 damage! How was Ichiban Sake going to survive that?

{Frost Strike}!

Zhang Yang thumped Ichiban Sake on the head again, with his [Heaven Shaker] like a roaring black dragon! The next thing that happened was a bunch of flesh and the splatter of blood oozing out of the stump that was once Ichiban Sake's neck, followed by the numerical value of '-412,246!'! That was a Critical Attack! The HP bar of Ichiban Sake was immediately emptied out!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Yaro!" Musashi Ousama and Shuro Ousama screaming in rage, as they had believed that they could have stopped Zhang Yang from killing Ichiban Sake. Their confidence level was hammered hard as they were proven wrong! The delay of Ichiban Sake's demise wasn't due to the fact that the two of them posed any threat to Zhang Yang in their transformed states, it was actually because Zhang Yang was not in the mood to kill him yet!

Just look at it. The guardian was wiped out so easily! Just a single strike had already sent him to his demise, without the need to throw another strike at him!

Meanwhile, as these two were doing their best trying to get at Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang had lost about 700,000 HP. Their damage output could already be considered to be extremely high, as 700,000 damage was already a decent value. However, that amount of damage meant little to the Maximum HP of Zhang Yang that reached up to 5,000,000 HP! Such a ratio would really push a person to the brink of madness, especially for players who were confident of their own skill and power to begin with!

As Rockovich had suddenly lost his main aggro target, he immediately switched his attention towards the DPS players and the Healers. The General swung his heavy hammer across the players before him and sent a bunch of players flying in the opposite direction as he roared, "You uncivilized savages! Is it really that fun to be hiding behind your Tankers while using your ranged attacks on me? Very well, let me show you what real fun is!"

He slightly bent his knees, and suddenly leaped into the air with his strong and powerful body, followed by a superhero landing among the army of DPS players and the Healers. Next moment, Rockovich was swinging his war hammer about, crushing all the players before him. The army of players descended into chaos, as none of them were able to hold their ground against the powerful boss! Every single blow created a shockwave effect. Therefore, players with insufficient strength could only be blown away by the shockwaves of Rockovich's hammer.

Furthermore, at the current stage of the game, who would actually have enough attribute points to boost their Strength to the level of a Mythical Tier boss?

Rockovich swung in hammer in a twirling arc, killing a large number of players around him!

-- with their Tankers gone, the boss was no longer being shepherded around like a cow, he was now a hungry wolf that had just been let into a herd of sheep. That's the end of the story. The players were being slaughtered by the boss like a bunch of harmless sheep!

Zhang Yang was laughing out loud as he joined in to support the boss. The two of them worked together, Rockovich and his terrifying hammer, and Zhang Yang with his [Heaven Shaker] that spun like a tornado in the middle of the battlefield! {Horizontal Sweep}, {Blast Wave}. {Thunder Strike} were struck out repeatedly as Zhang Yang caused massive casualties to the Japan army! Under the support of his {God of War Transformation}, Zhang Yang could already hit so much harder than the boss! His normal attack had already reached up to a total of 100,000 damage, and his Skills could already reach up to at least a total damage to 200,000 damage! Even an Ethereal Tier boss would respect that power.

Rockovich had a surprised look on his face as he said, "No wonder the Queen speaks highly of you! I wouldn't have believed that you are so powerful if I haven't just witnessed it with my own eyes! But from what I've seen, this strength is not your base level. It seems to be some sort of magical power that brings out the inner power within your core, and it's highly unstable!"

Zhang Yang laughed and said, "It's true, I can't keep this form for long, but it's enough to kill these 'uncivilized savages'!"

"Haha!" Rockovich laughed as well, and his eyes turned sharp and intimidating as he shouted, "You idiotic uncivilized savages! How dare you launch an assault on the great White Jade Empire! How dare you assault the expedition army of Queen Serena! I hereby declare that all you uncivilized savages must die!"

All Japanese players were so angry to hear Rockovich's words that their veins were beginning to pop! Being called 'uncivilized savages' while being unable to physically refute that statement surely made it seem as if they were admitting to that very fact!

The feeling was just great!

Looking at all the furious, disgusted face, Zhang Yang could not help but to laugh out loud. Then, he flapped his wings and began to swing his weapon around once again. All the non-Tanker Class players were instantly killed. Even if the players are Tanker Class, Zhang Yang would only have to activate his {Horizontal Sweep}, {Destructive Smash}, {Frost Strike}!

With Zhang Yang working together with Rockovich, the number of those Japanese players was reducing steeply! Meanwhile, the seemingly endless NPC army continued gushing out from the entrance of the Castle! What were their chances of breaching the walls now?

The current numbers on both sides -- Attacker: Sakura no Nagare Mae, number of players: 25,239; Defender: Lone Desert Smoke, number of players: 1!

This was just 10 minutes after the Territory Conquest had began, and Sakura no Nagare had already lost about 5,000 players! If they continue to lose their numbers at this rate, they might even be wiped out in an hour! There's no need to even wait until the end of the Territory Conquest! Amaou Kuyoshi was close to blowing up! He quickly sent another fresh party over to keep Rockovich occupied. Well, they could not just let the boss roam freely around their own army and cause havoc!

The fact did remain, however, that they were all helpless against Zhang Yang, the super killer!

Logically speaking, players were not bosses, they would basically get affected by all sorts of Skills! With about 100 players, if each of them takes turns using a Status Restriction Skill on a target, they could keep the target immobilized there, perpetually. The target would be their toy!

Unfortunately for them, players with [Inheritances] were an existence transcends all others, mostly due to their resistances against Status Restriction Skills -- quite a small number of players had managed to acquire an [Inheritance] for themselves in each of the regions. Although there were still no signs of Class S, Class A, and Class B [Inheritance] in other regions, there was already quite a number of players with Class C [Inheritances, which was enough for them to {Transform}. The professional players have encountered some of such players, so normally, players with [Inheritances] would have over 90% rate of resistance towards the Status Restriction Skills of the players without [Inheritances]!

When the players with [Inheritances] activate their {Inheritance Transformations}, they would almost have a 100% rate of resistance against the Status Restriction Skills of players without an [Inheritance]!

The total HP of Zhang Yang after he 'transformed' was just too high for the Japanese players to fathom! Plus, his Defense and Magic Defense were both terrifyingly high. There was no way for the Japanese players to even take him down via focus fire! Now that they realized they could not even use their Status Restriction Skills on Zhang Yang in an attempt to restrict his movement, they could only let Zhang Yang slay them at will, as Zhang Yang broke their heads open like fresh watermelons!

"Tsukaenai Obakadomo!" Amaou Kuyoshi could not longer keep his vulgar words back, he was really disappointed with Musashi Ousama and Shuro Ousama as they had failed to stop Zhang Yang. They were basically useless! They had claimed that things would become far easier, upon the activation of their [Inheritances, even going as far as to say that they would triumph over tens of thousands of enemies!

"Musashi Ousama, Shuro Ousama! Forget about Zhan Yu, and focus on making a break for the castle interior!" Amaou Kuyoshi made a crucial decision, based on the most logical sense.

Musashi Ousama and Shuro Ousama felt ashamed as the two of them had only managed to tail Zhang Yang's ass around like two idiots, even after they had activated their {Inheritance Transformations}. There was no better way to shame them both! The two of them quickly communicated with their pets and charged towards the entrance of the castle. They began to activate their 'Inheritance Skills' on the army of NPCs to unleash their anger and frustration.

Although the two of them had been led around by Zhang Yang like two idiots, they were still able to demonstrate the power of Class C {Transformations} to their compatriots.

Musashi Ousama activated the greatest skill in his arsenal - courtesy of his [Whirlwind Inheritance]. He transformed into a whirlwind, sending the NPCs around him flying in an insane turbulence! Every single NPC that went flying received about 20,000 damage. Their landings were not soft either. If they did not have any effects on them that slowed down their descents, they would have to receive another damage that could go up to 10,000 damage, from the fall alone!

Normal NPCs would be instantly killed after they get sucked into the {Whirlwind} that Musashi Ousama had just activated. Even the elite Tier NPCs were losing their will to fight after being sucked into the {Whirlwind}!

Meanwhile, Shuro Ousama had turned himself into a white skeleton that was about 7 meters tall. Every single NPCs that he killed while he was in his skeleton form had turned into a skeleton soldier. These skeleton soldiers turned around and supported him in attacking their former comrades! Well, that had the potential of becoming a really broken skill, depending on the duration of those skeletons.

Zhang Yang observed the battle from afar and the could not help but sigh. {Inheritance Transformations} really changes the game. Even C Class {Transformations} turned players into insanely powerful beings!

Of course, those 'forms' of Musashi Ousama and Shuro Ousama did not last long. Every type of {Inheritance Transformation} would gain 1 point of 'Energy Point' in every 10 seconds. The 'transformations' of Musashi Ousama and Shuro Ousama would definitely need 'Energy Points' to support them using their 'Inheritance Skills'. When their 'Energy Points' run out, their Skills would end as well. Furthermore, the cooldown period for their 'Inheritance Skills' were extremely long.

Those Skills were just like the {Vampiric Blood Drain} of the [Vampire Inheritance].

1 EP would be gained in every 10 seconds. The battle had raged on for tens of minutes, and Zhang Yang had already gained enough EP point to fully fill up his Energy Bar. Without wasting any time, Zhang Yang went out with the 100 EP on hand, ready to unleash hell upon the Japanese players!

With a powerful flap of his wings, Zhang Yang flew straight towards the entrance of Winst Castle and activated his first destructive Skill. Instantly, a stream of golden light surged outwards!

{God of War's Crushing Strike}!

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

Instantly, a tremor spread across the ground, as countless beams of golden light broke out from the surface of the ground. The light formed into the shapes of arrows as they began to hurtle further up the sky! Every single target within the attack range received a damage of '-32,110!'!

Zhang Yang huffed coldly as he waited for his 1-second Global Cool Down period to pass. After that, he raised his left hand and activated another {God of War's Crushing Strike}!

Again! And again!

The purpose of waiting for his EP bar to reach 100 EP was to allow him to spam his {God of War's Crushing Strike} 34 times in a row, without giving his targets any chance to recollect themselves! Furthermore, his {God of War's Crushing Strike} inflicts Chaos Damage that doesn't get affected by Defense or Magic Resistance. Any non-Tanker would have to return to their Main Cities after about 3 hits from Zhang Yang!

{Horizontal Sweep}! {Blast Wave}! {Thunder Strike}!

Zhang Yang did not only use {God of War's Crushing Strike}. He also activated his other Skills. His {Horizontal Sweep} reached up to about 200,000 damage without triggering a Critical Damage. So Zhang Yang did not see the reason why he should waste the availability of his other powerful Skills!

'-24,278!'

'22,876!'

'21,977!'

Under the oppressive assaults of the boss and Zhang Yang, the players from Sakura no Nagare Mae were being slaughtered!

This is really bad!

Quite a number of Japanese players were actually aware of their situation! They started feeling uneasy as they saw the endless swarm of NPCs gushing out from the entrance of the castle. Meanwhile, they had been informed that the Aerial Troops sent into the City Hall earlier on had all been annihilated. According to the rumors they heard, the Aerial Troops had been taken out by a large number of [Mechanical Servants, Castle Guards and a Dragonhawk!

Unable to march forwards as their Assault troop had been wiped out entirely, and having two insanely powerful beings cutting off their escape route, how should they proceed with the Territory Conquest then?

Did they even have the choice of retreating, now?

Even if there was a mountain of swords and a sea of flames before them, the Japanese players had no choice but to close their eyes and jump in! Or else, they would definitely be scolded and cursed upon by many other furious Japanese players, shoving red-hot sticks down their *sses. 30,000 players had failed to take down a Territory that is only defended by one player? That will definitely become the joke of the century!

The Japanese players had no choice but to charge towards their demise!

Bottles of [Potion] were taken, one after another, the moment they could take them. It was as if these Japanese players were on steroids and viagrasm having just gotten rid of their long-standing impotence, charging forward with their 'second brothers' in high spirits as they attempt to launch a last ditch attack! At such a moment, none of them would still want to save any money, their dignity were much more important! They would definitely be blamed for their defeat when they are back in their own countries!

Although only their spirits were boosted up, with that high spirit, the Japanese players managed to improve their strength and performance in pushing forward! They actually pushed the NPCs back, and were on the verge of breaching the entrance of the castle!

Zhang Yang let out a loud roar as he flew down from the sky. Then, he descended right before the entrance like a god descending from the heavens.

As Zhang Yang had been slaughtering up the Japanese players to such great effect, the Japanese players were intimidated for a moment when they saw Zhang Yang standing in front of the entrance! However, they only halted for a brief moment before they regained their senses and continued to push forward. "Kill!" These players shouted one while charging at Zhang Yang.

Chapter 538: Wrap Up

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The battle was totally a one-sided slaughter. Zhang Yang planted his feet in the middle of the castle entrance. Right before the front row of the Japanese players could clash into him, he swung his [Heaven Shaker] like the legendary warrior Zhang Fei,1 who stood in the middle of the Changban Bridge2! Every roar was lethal, and every strike was destructive! With only one man, Zhang Yang was holding against tens of thousands of Japanese players, leaving no one to pass him!

'19,820!'

'17,892!'

'15,922!'

The number of players from the Sakura no Nagare Mae had been reduced by half and they were only one hour into the battle! The casualty was increasing at an unacceptable rate!

While they were on the brink of despair, the Korean players were actually trying to acquire information concerning the Territory Conquest battle over at Winst Castle. Everyone knew that there were over 39,999 Lone Desert Smoke players at Morning Town. So, if Winst Castle was not an empty castle at the moment when the Territory Conquest occurs, then there should at least be one China player there!

Wouldn't an army of 30,000 basically walk their way to victory?

Why haven't the system informed them about the change of Barons for Winst Castle, then?

What have the 30,000 army of Japanese players been doing all this while? How could they be incapable of taking out a lone player in an empty Territory? Quite a number of players who were in between the Level 90 to 100 bracket were beginning to lose their patience and started cursing. They started saying things like - if they were of sufficient levels, they would ride over to the Territory Gateway and take it back themselves! Why would they even need a bunch of losers to help them take back their Territory Gateway?

Upon all the scoldings from those players, Amaou Kuyoshi could only endure the pain in his crotch silently. He dearly wished that he could simply summon those cynical Japanese players over to his location, so that everyone could witness the insanely powerful 'Transformation' of Zhang Yang!

Oh my god! How could one player be so powerful, to such an extent!

If Zhang Yang only had an extremely long HP bar, then they should still be able to take him. However, his attack power was also extremely high and powerful! Among the Japanese players, they also had players who could 'Transform' as well...but they were nothing compared to this. A 'Transformed' player could also be healed up by a few Healers supporting them from the rear, if and only if they were fighting monsters and bosses!

But this is not a boss, this is a god d*mned player! A player's behavior in the game is not powered by the Aggro system of the game! A player could choose who to kill without being restricted by the aggro system! Worst off, Zhang Yang was basically immune to any sort of Status Restriction Skills! With all these conditions favoring Zhang Yang, it really did bring about a sense of despair upon the Japanese players!

Amaou Kuyoshi made quick calculations in his mind. He believed that they would need about 20, no, 50 players with {Inheritance Transformation} Skills to be able to take Zhang Yang down!

However, they only had Musashi Ousama and Shuro Ousama, so where would he find so many players with {Inheritance Transformation} Skills? It was not because the Japanese players couldn't get any of the [Inheritance Fragments]. Some of the lucky ones had already obtained the Linking Quest for Class B [Inheritances, and some of them had even got the quests for Class A [Inheritances]. But all of them had been halted by the final bosses of their [Inheritance] quest. It seemed that they would not be able to magically gather 50 players that were capable of {Inheritance Transformation} in the short run.

' 14,322!'

'11,092!'

'7,834!'

...

As the battle raged on, the number of players continued to reduced steeply. Meanwhile, the number of players from Lone Desert Smoke continued to remain steadily at the single digit - '1'. All the Japanese players had their eyes glued to that number, as they gnashed their teeth together, and felt the shivers down their spines!

The murderous look on Zhang Yang's face was bound to be a nightmarish scene that would haunt all of the Japanese players for the rest of their days! What a terrifying monster!

After the tormenting battle had reached the 120th minute, the Japanese players suddenly got released from their suffering -- the duration of Zhang Yang's {God of War Transformation} Skill had finally come to an end!

Zhang Yang, however, did not lose himself in the lust of killing those Japanese players. He already had [Violet Thunderhawk] standing by on his side. The moment his {God of War Transformation} faded, Zhang Yang had hopped onto the [Violet Thunderhawk] immediately. The [Violet Thunderhawk] flapped its frosty-blue wings and rose into the air, 50 meters from the ground! There, Zhang Yang had gotten himself out from the attack range of all the players, regardless of their Classes.

The Japanese players had not be able to recover their senses, as they could not react to Zhang Yang's actions as well. They were still wondering on why Zhang Yang had suddenly stopped killing, as if he had turned soft on them! But the more experienced Japanese players quickly realized the situation, and they started to shout, "His {Inheritance Transformation} has faded!"

"Hahaha! It is time for us to strike back!"

"There's still time. 1 hour for us to take down the Territory's City Hall!"

The Japanese players who had tasted despair for the past 2 hours suddenly saw a glimpse of hope, a glimpse of light! All of them began to cry in excitement! Before that, Zhang Yang had his stupidly insane {God of War Transformation} activated, so none of them could do anything to him! But even now that the {God of War Transformation} Skill had faded away, nothing much had changed! Just because their equipment were decent, it did not guarantee them victory over the mighty Zhang Yang! Even with those powerful equipment, they could not shorten the power level difference between themselves and Zhang Yang by much!

At that moment, the remnants of their Aerial forces had soared atop their [Flying Mounts, heading towards Zhang Yang. About 9 players with 9 different type of [Flying Mounts] charged towards Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang did not falter as he activated his {Dance of the Heaven and Earth} at one of the Spellcasters! At the same instant, he activated his {Chaotic Dance of Electric Current} on a Hunter. Upon the activation of those two Skills, he flew towards another Priest! With his [Heaven Shaker] raised up high, poised to strike, Zhang Yang merciless tore into the Priest.

The movement speed of the [Violet Thunderhawk] was extremely fast! The Priest did not have any time to react at all. His dilating pupils reflected the looming silhouette of Zhang Yang approaching at lightning speed! The moment he realized Zhang Yang was already in front of him was the moment when the [Heaven Shaker] crunched into his neck.

'-27,882!'

At the same time, the {Dance of the Heaven and Earth} and {Chaotic Dance of Electric Current} had started to take effect, causing a series of '10,000' damage to the Spellcaster and the Hunter. As they were all 50 meters above from the ground, the Healers on the ground could not reach them, as they were too far away. Also, the only Healer that was capable of flight was currently being given a beating of his life. The Spellcaster and the Hunter struggled to go back down, within the range of the other healers. As Zhang Yang's Skills were still active, there was no reason for them to stay in the sky, or dream on that the Healers on the ground would grow wings and soar into the sky!

Buzz!

The [Violet-Thunderhawk] spat out a ball of lightning. Bright, white electricity surged through the Priest's body as he was winced and then fell still. That was actually the 'Paralytic' effect of the {Lightning Ball}!

Zhang Yang laughed out loud as he continued to beat the Priest up with his {Destructive Smash}!

'-54,332!'

After three devastating hits from Zhang Yang, the Priest let out a cry and fell from the sky.

Zhang Yang did not stop there, and turned his attention towards the remaining 6 Japanese players.

Nine elite players without [Inheritances] were absolutely no match to Zhang Yang. Without much of a fuzz, Zhang Yang sent them crashing down to the ground, their voices of misery echoing through the field. Only one Spellcaster had managed to flee back to the ground! However, he did not last long either.

Zhang Yang laughed out loud as he directed [Violet-Thunderhawk] to circle around the sky like a dragon. He would randomly lunge down to attack some players with one or two hits, and then get back up to the sky to circle around!

Meanwhile, without any firepower left in the sky, the Japan army could only stare at Zhang Yang, while he picked them off one after another like a bird of prey picking on a herd of trapped mice.

Well, if they couldn't do anything against Zhang Yang, then they should just focus on taking down the castle, and take down the City Hall. That was their only chance now! However, the Japanese players finally realized that they had just lost another 4,578 players on their side!

So only about 4,000 players had survived the onslaught of Zhang Yang!

Meanwhile, tens of thousands of NPCs remained at the entrance of the Winst Castle, and Rockovich was still alive and well! Although Rockovich had already lost two thirds of his HP bar, taking into context his 100,000,000 HP, a third of that amount was still a lot! Rockovich still had over 30,000,000 HP! That amount of HP would definitely be enough to curbstomp the Japanese army!

Looking from another perspective, 4,000 players should still be able to take down the boss. However, even though Zhang Yang could no longer pose a great threat to them, but the NPC army had become their worst problem. They outnumbered them by over 2 to 1!

More and more soldiers of White Jade Kingdom gushed out from the entrance of Winst Castle, pushing the players of Japan army back, one step after another. By the end of it, the NPC army formed a circle formation and completely surrounded the Japanese army before they started getting busy!

NPCs behaved very differently compared to groups of players, they worked together in perfect tandem, focusing on one player at a time. Especially the Ranged soldiers, 10 Hunters and 1 Spellcaster would focus their fire power on the same target. Even a player with extremely good equipment would die in misery!

Meanwhile, the Priests of the NPC army started to shine. Earlier on they had been all trapped within the castle interiors, it was finally their turn to squeeze themselves through the entrance of the castle and start healing up the soldiers on the front lines. Although they could not heal those soldiers who were instantly killed, Rockovich still had an abundance of HP left, so they started healing the boss back up. Hundreds of Priest cast healing Skills on the boss, swiftly healing him up!

What the f*ck! What could the Japan army do with this?

After all, this army of NPCs was no ordinary army, it was the Expedition Army of the White Jade Empire! Of course they would be an extremely powerful force!

The formation of the Japanese army had finally crumbled. Under the suppression of the NPC army, they had finally given up on every last bit of hope. Their remaining numbers continued dropping, from 3,000 to 2,000, from 2,000 to 1,000... falling from 4 digits to 3 digits, then from 3 digits to 2 digits, then lastly, down to 1 digit!

When the final player, Amaou Kuyoshi was stuck down by the [Violet Thunderhawk] with a

{Thunder Ball}, the system declared that the Territory Conquest had ended in advance. The duration of the Territory Conquest was 2 hours 38 minutes 56 seconds!

'Ding! Congratulations to Lone Desert Smoke, for having succeeded in annihilating the entirety of Sakura no Nagare Mae. You have claimed victory over the Territory Conquest in advance!'

The members of Lone Desert Smoke received the same notification at the same time.

Huh? What just happened?

The China players who were still engaged with the E.E Guild in guild almost popped their eyes out of their skulls!

After all, there was a total of 39,999 Lone Desert Smoke members stationed in Morning Town. Only Zhang Yang alone was defending Winst Castle. The system made no such mistake!

It only meant that Zhang Yang had annihilated all of Sakura no Nagare Mae and had even claimed victory in the Territory Conquest, in advance!

It did seemed to be a little over exaggerated!

Meanwhile, when the Korean players had also received news about the lost of Sakura no Nagare Mae, instantly, their assaults became even more aggressive and precise! It was now or never! The army that was supposed to take down Winst Castle had failed! That was definitely an impossible outcome! However, a loss is a loss, there's no denying it!

All the Korean players began to go mad. Although they could not claim back the Territory Gateway that was supposedly theirs, they were very determined to take down the Territory Gateway that belonged to China Region! There was no need to think about the rightful owners of the Territory Gateways! Just take it down, and think about the rest after!

Wei Yan Er rolled her eyes as she suddenly looked at Sun Xin Yu and said, "Sister Sun, let's just use that [Forbidden Scroll] and get this over with!"

Sun Xin Yu said, "We've won!"

She meant that the Lone Desert Smoke had already secured a sure victory over this battle, so it was not necessary to waste a precious [Forbidden Scroll] over nothing.

The little brat quickly added, "That noob tank single handedly took out the entire army of the 'Shorty Japan' even before the Territory Conquest ended, are we seriously going to battle for 3 hours, with all 40,000 of our men? When we see that noob tank later, he is going to laugh at us with that nasty face of his! More importantly, he's going to make fun of me.. I mean us!"

Sun Xin Yu was also a person who loved winning. As she was listening to Wei Yan Er's reasoning, the look on her face changed a little as her conviction on not using that scroll started wavering. She revealed a murderous look on her face, as her eyes gleamed in uncertainty.

Meanwhile, Han Ying Xue added wood to the fire, "Humph! What a boring person you are! Are you seriously worried that you might get scolded by Zhang Yang after you use it? What a coward!"

"Do you want a punch in the face? You big-titted b*tch!" Sun Xin Yu shot a cold glare as she reached into her inventory and took out the [Forbidden Scroll].

Well, praise the lord, as Zhang Yang had given the [Forbidden Scroll] to Sun Xin Yu, for he knew she was a calculated professional, with a steel, ice heart of precision. She was mature enough to not be controlled by her emotions. But what he had not seen was the chemical reaction between these two ladies. That would really stir up disaster with unimaginably terrible consequences!

Sun Xin Yu had firmly decided to use the [Forbidden Scroll]. Without any delay, she tore the [Forbidden Scroll] into half, and there goes the first [Forbidden Scroll] of the game, sinking into the depths of past history!

The sky began to rumble!

The [Forbidden Scroll] had been activated! The entire sky instantly began 'boiling' in dark clouds, as the clouds shrouded every inch of the sky within their visible range. Within the fast moving dark clouds, there was also the continuous crackling of blazing white, electrical charges.

'Ding! Player Frost Night has used the [Forbidden Scroll: Scourging Doomsday]!'

With Sun Xin Yu as the center point, every player within the range of 5 Kilometers from her received the same system notification! As the center point was in the middle of the town entrance, that had covered every single player involved in the Territory Conquest.

A for... forbidden scroll? What the heck is that?

No one had any idea on what a [Forbidden Scroll] was. Naturally, they wouldn't know the power of one either! But, the name spoke wonders for itself. Imaginations began to run wild. After all, the scroll contained word 'Forbidden', so the power of this 'magic' should be terrifying, to say the least. If that was not the case, the system would not have even bothered announcing it!

However, as far as their imaginations went, no one would ever imagine that the range of this 'Scourging Doomsday' would reach out as far as 5 Kilometers! The impact of the strikes from the 'Scourging Doomsday' was even more powerful, to the point that people would piss their pants as they remained within its effective range!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As the dark clouds rolled in the sky, massive thunder bolts hurtled straight down from the sky and countless burning meteor rocks came crashing down! It was the apocalypse, Armageddon, Ragnarok, whatever you wish to call it!

All of the Korean players began to receive damage in every passing second! The 'Scourging Doomsday' would reduce 10% of the target's HP in every second, but the maximum damage would not exceed 100,000 damage! Other than the Korean players who at least had Class B [Inheritances, none of the Korean players would ever have 1,000,000 HP. Therefore, everyone, other than the Class B [Inheritance] holders started to lose 10% of their health in every passing second. Furthermore, 'Scourging Doomsday' is 30 seconds long!

As the Healer Classes still lacked the power to heal 10% of a powerful player's HP, the situation was akin to a huge, leaking vessel!

From the 11th second, many of the Korean players started to die. On the 15th second of the 'Scourging Doomsday', the death toll had reached up to tens of thousands! The current death toll was beginning to catch up with the total death toll from the first two hours of the battle -- at first, when the Korean players saw that there was almost 40,000 players in Morning Town, they already knew that there was no hope in taking over the Territory Gateway. So, they simply decided to aimlessly wave their weapons around to pass time. However, when they received the news that Sakura no Nagare Mae had failed in their conquest, they started to get serious and charged towards the entrance of Morning Town!

On the 20th second, the total death toll for the Korean players had reached up to total of 20,000! On the 25th second, the last bunch of players who had activated their life saving Skills started dying, one after another!

The insane electrical surges continued to strike, and the meteors continued to fall on the ground, however, there were no more players alive to take anymore of that!

The Korean players had been wiped out!

'Ding! Congratulation to Lone Desert Smoke, for succeeded in annihilating the entirety of the E.E Guild. You have claimed victory over the Territory Conquest in advance!'

The second system notification was sounded not long after the first, but the other players that Lone Desert Smoke had 'borrowed' from their ally guilds dropped their jaws as they stared at the aftershock of the 'Scouring Doomsday'.

Oh my god!

Chapter 539: The War's Post Mortem

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Japan-Korea Region had launched their assaults on the two Territories of Lone Desert Smoke at the same time, however, the two massive armies were soundly annihilated like ants!

The news had spread across the official forums like wildfire. At first, many players could not treat it seriously, believing them to simply be rumors, however, after knowing that the two Territories of the China Region still belonged to Lone Desert Smoke, solid evidence to that fact, they could no longer deny the truth! Therefore, everyone began to wonder how did Lone Desert Smoke pull that off!

After all, guarding the Territory to defend their rights overruling the Territory in a Territory Conquest, and annihilating the enemies to claim victory in a Territory Conquest were two different things!

Furthermore, the news had stated that Lone Desert Smoke had over 39,999 players stationed in Morning Town, so victory via annihilation would be feasible. But the details about the Territory Conquest over the Winst Castle is a little bit absurd! One man against 30,000 and that one man had managed to wipe them out?

Holy mother of the cow as the goosebumps comes! Are you sure you're reading the text right?

Is there anything else that could really be even more absurd than this? One man wiping out an army of 30,000? Did that one player lug a [Magic Cannon, with unlimited ammo?

But after Zhang Yang released the footage of the entire Territory Conquest over Winst Castle, questions and doubts on the forums were cleared out as the players began to shut up!

Everyone could not help but to feel sorry for the players from the Japan-Korea Region as they were really unfortunate to have clashed head-on with the Expedition Army of White Jade Kingdom, along with a very powerful boss!

Of course, the players were even more shocked to see Zhang Yang's {God of War Transformation}!

To see Zhang Yang going all out without the need to heal as he toyed with the 30,000 to the point that they could not do a thing! This was no longer insane, this was ludicrous, this was insanity itself going insane!

So proud! So mighty! So dominating!

Who wouldn't want to be so outstanding in a game? Who wouldn't want to be the center of the attention like that?

All of a sudden, the search for the [Inheritance] had become a hot topic for the players. Every one of them started to imagine themselves 'transforming' like how Zhang Yang did. They would imagine slaying all their enemies from all directions like almighty beings! Of course, those who had certain knowledge of the game knew that Zhang Yang had managed to become the center of the attention because he was the first to get a high Class [Inheritance]. So when more and more players acquire [Inheritances, Zhang Yang would no longer be the invincible monsters that everyone had pictured him to be!

However, the players were not willing to open their eyes to common sense. They were only willing to see the mighty and undefeated side of Zhang Yang without thinking logically. In other words, those players who were not interested in getting any [Inheritance] back then were now searching for the [Inheritance Fragments] all over the place, like madmen. They did not even need the Official website to announce anything about [Inheritances]!

Other than that, some players had uploaded the footage showing the power of the [Forbidden Scroll: Scourging Doomsday, and all players lost their voices again for another 3 minutes!

Annihilated an army of 30,000 players in merely 30 seconds? That was something is even more full of ridiculous bullsh*t than the {Inheritance Transformation} Skill!

In the coming days, two words would be mentioned very frequently. 'Inheritance' and 'Forbidden'.

Of course, the Japan-Korea Region had become the butt of the joke for the other 7 Main Regions in the game. The two armies had suffered devastating defeats, leaving them with broken halberds, buried in the sand. Ever since their defeat, the 60,000 who took part were heavily condemned by their own countrymen! The guildmasters for the E.E Guild and the Sakura no Nagare Mae, the names 'Hangugui Gugwang' and 'Amaou Kuyoshi' had become synonyms for the term, 'disgrace'!

Those players that were 'borrowed' from other guilds had left the two guilds and returned to their initial guilds with shame and anger, while the players who originally belonged to the two guilds went back to their own Region in disdain! Now, these two guilds were facing fates far worse than anyone could anticipate, as these two guilds were actually super powerful guilds in Zhang Yang's previous life! Now, the two guilds might fall apart and get disbanded sooner than anyone could think! Zhang Yang was no longer spreading his butterfly wings like a hurricane, instead, he was spreading them like a storm cloud, a force of nature that cannot be tamed!

After witnessing the powerful aftershock of the [Forbidden Scroll, everyone feared of its existence, an existence that could bring about devastating effects like a nuclear warhead! Not only was the range of this 'bad boy' ridiculously vast, but it could also bring about the substantial amount of damage to enemies within its range. Unless the players had {Inheritance Transformations} that boosted their HP up to the millions, nothing stood a chance.

Hundred Shots and Daffodil Daydream quickly regrouped their original guild members. Meanwhile, the high Tier players who were' borrowed' from other guilds saw that the warehouse of Lone Desert Smoke was full of powerful and rare items and equipment! So many of them were not willing to leave the guild -- Zhang Yang had limited the access to the guild's warehouse to only his own guild members, however, only the high-ranking members of the guild could deposit and withdraw items to and from the warehouse. All those Level 110, Level 120 Violet-Platinum equipment that Zhang Yang and his party had acquired from previous battles lay gracefully among the slots of the warehouse. It was an act to inspire his guild members to work hard and earn them as rewards and prizes.

Zhang Yang attempted to feign ignorance about these additional 'visitors', as high Tier players were a form of 'wealth' that is hard to come by in the game. Meanwhile, the guild had recently been upgraded to level 4 Guild not too long ago, and there was a new wave recruitment going on as well. There was no need to worry about a shortage of space. Of course, Lone Desert Smoke paid more attention to the attitudes of the players when recruiting new members. If the players do not have firm resolutions, it did not matter if they are high leveled or high Tiered, their performances would definitely be below average.

After the battles, Zhang Yang and the Lone Desert Smoke had become even more prestigious than before! The players in the China Region were worshiping Zhang Yang, while the players from Japan-Korea Region hated him to their cores. Even players from other Regions now knew that the China Region had a super powerful player and a super powerful guild!

Zhang Yang did not blame Sun Xin Yu for using the [Forbidden Scroll]. He had actually planned to use it as a deliberate show of strength, making a statement to the world that Lone Desert Smoke had a 'Nuclear Warhead' in possession. After all, they did not need the other guilds and players coming at them with trouble in mind, slowing down their progress in the game! With such a 'warning' sign on their doorstep, Lone Desert Smoke could prevent a lot of unnecessary problems from other guilds!

Even though the Lone Desert Smoke was already on track to a decisive victory in Morning Town, they had still used one [Forbidden Scroll] on their enemies. So what did that mean? To be able to use one Scroll so generously, they had to have several more in possession!

Quite a number of players started to come down with paranoia, and that was exactly the effect that Zhang Yang wanted. He's no battle maniac, it would be tiring to battle players day after day.

Of course, Fatty Han felt an ache in his heart as soon as he found out that they had used a [Forbidden Scroll]. After the triggering of [Forbidden Scroll] over the Territory Conquest on Morning Town, the price of the [Forbidden Scrolls] had rocketed out of orbit! That meant that the convenient use of a [Forbidden Scroll] by Sun Xin Yu had cost them at least tens of millions of dollars, like throwing a chest full of gold bars to the bottom of a river! Of course, that fatty was so greatly disturbed to the point that he could not eat well for the next couple of days! He actually lost a couple of pounds!

There, the Territory Conquests were finally over for now. After all, [Territory Conquest Orders] were not easy to come by. Meanwhile, players from the Japan-Korea Region had also found out that they would have no other way of restricting Zhang Yang at all, when he is in his {God of War Transformation} unless they had an army of Class B [Inheritance] owners! Otherwise, charging into a battle head-on with Zhang Yang would never end well!

Furthermore, they had to find a way to divide the forces of Lone Desert Smoke if they even want to claim victory over any of their Territories. Or else, they shouldn't even attempt any single conquest!

So, the top guilds from all eight Main Regions had turned their attention back on acquiring the 'First Clear' for the Hardcore Mode of the Dragon Throat Fortress. Ever since Mess Up Your Mama had cleared the Hard Mode of the dungeon, the other top Tier Guilds were beginning to share their progress, joining the 'front line' with the other pioneers!

Currently, Mess Up Your Mama had scored 5/15 bosses, securing the first place in clearing the dungeon. The following guilds had also cleared up to 4/15 or 3/15 bosses at that stage, as well. The first 5 bosses of the Dragon Throat Fortress were easier to slay, but the 6th boss is the line of demarcation for the difficulty of the dungeon. That was the boss that got Mess Up Your Mama stuck, and it was already days after they cleared the 5th boss. There were no signs of the battle log concerning the 6th boss for two months!

Zhang Yang was not worried at all. He knew that the Hardcore Mode of the Dragon Throat Fortress was extremely difficult. The following 5 bosses should be able to keep the other guilds from progressing for at least a month. The last 5 bosses would definitely stop the guilds in their tracks for at least two months!

The priority now was to head out into the open world and slay some open world bosses and gather some powerful equipment to increase the guild's Strength. Only then would the guild be powerful enough to push through the bosses and clear the Hardcore Mode of the Dragon Throat Fortress!

Now that Zhang Yang had obtained the [Zinc Alloy] and the [Magical Fruit of Ying and Yang, he no longer had reason to hold back on locating the final quest item for his quest, the [Light of Miracle]. As it had started off as such a difficult quest, Zhang Yang would definitely stumble across some high Tiered bosses, and he might even get the chance to pick up some fine and powerful booty while he is at it. So basically, Zhang Yang would be killing two birds with one stone again, a situation that he would always welcome at any time of the day!

Zhang Yang hopped onto him [Violet Thunderhawk] as he began to zip across the sky like a lightning bolt. In just a brief moment, Zhang Yang had arrived at the Siccory Mountains, where he began to head on over to the Radiant Canyon in search of the [Light of Miracle].

When comparing the [Violet Thunderhawk] to the [Snow-Scale Wind Serpent, this Mythical Tier Thunderhawk could really travel swiftly, and it had far more stamina than Whitey Jr.. It did not show any signs of tiredness or fatigue, even after carrying Zhang Yang across the sky for a long time. If this was Whitey Jr. that was carrying Zhang Yang over such a distance, it would have been using its cute, large glittering eyes to beg for sympathy.

The Radiant Canyon was a magical, fantastic place where the night would never fall upon the canyon. Even after sunset, the rocks and stones in the canyon would release blinding light, as if they had recharged themselves throughout the entire day, unleashing the light that they have 'collected' into the surroundings.

However, Radiant Canyon was steep and treacherous. There were many spiky rocks across the path and it wasn't easy at all for a [Flying Mount] to roam freely. They could only fly across the canyon from a height, tens of meters off the ground. Flying higher than that would risk crashing into the spiky rocks all around the place! Fortunately for Zhang Yang, there weren't many monsters in the area. So, it wouldn't be an issue to fly low in that area, as Zhang Yang did not have to worry about a bunch of monsters chasing after their tails.

After flying for a distance in the Radiant Canyon, Zhang Yang decided to land by the road that had forked off into three different directions, as he had spotted a Red-Skinned Orc who was struggling to crawl away. That Orc had three arrows buried deep in its back, and he had most probably been crawling in the same direction for quite a while, as there was a long trail of blood behind him.

[Aldo] (Normal, Humanoid Creature)

Level: 115

HP: 86/17,800

The HP bar of the Orc was slowly depleting. Judging by the rate of the HP reduction, it would probably only take about 1 minute or so before the HP touches zero.

There was a yellow exclamation mark on the top of the Orc. This was a quest-giving NPC. Furthermore, Zhang Yang would not risk missing out a quest in the middle of such a place, as there was a decent chance that this quest might have something to do with the [Light of Miracle] that Zhang Yang is looking for.

"Human --" Aldo raised his head up when he sensed the presence of Zhang Yang. His dying eyes started to lose focus as he tried his best to speak in a trembling voice, "Help... me... with this! Take this message... to our Red-Skinned Chieftain Roger Kluge. Hellscream!"

'Ding! Aldo has a quest for you: A message to Roger Kluge. Hellscream. Will you accept it?'

Accept!

"Argh!" Aldo let out a long sigh, as if he had been relieved of a heavy burden, and went limp.

[A message to Roger Kluge. Hellscream] (Difficulty: D-rank)

Description: You have stumbled across a dying Red-Skinned Orc. As a compassionate Adventurer, you agreed to aid him in completing his errand, right before he died. You will need to deliver this message to Roger Kluge. Hellscream. It was most likely that the Orc had been crawling in his intended direction.

Completion: Pass the message to Roger Kluge. Hellscream 0/1

Zhang Yang quickly hopped back onto his [Violet Thunderhawk]. Then, he followed the road down the direction where the Orc had been crawling.

After flying for about 20 minutes, Zhang Yang arrived at a large campsite. The design and styling of the buildings within the campsite looked very Orcish. Every single one of the houses had spiky spears on top of them. Those spears would make good self-defense weapons, if the need ever comes.

By the entrance of the campsite, there was a platoon of Level 120 Elite Tier Orc soldiers. The moment they saw Zhang Yang descended from the sky, they charged towards Zhang Yang and surrounded him. Then one Orc came up to him and said, "Human, identify yourself at once!"

Chapter 540: A Conflict of Interests

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"I'm an Adventurer from the White Jade Castle, and my name is Zhan Yu!" Zhang Yang hopped off the Thunderhawk and gestured courteously, "I came across an Orc by the name of Aldo. Even at death's door, he was beseeching for me to pass this message to your Orc Chieftain Roger Kluge. Hellscream!"

"Aldo... is dead?"

"Sod this! How dare those bloody goblins to spill the blood of our kin! To arms! Show these litter critters the meaning of death! Kill them all!"

The Red-Skinned Orcs started to roar in rage. The ultimate act of evil had been committed to one of their kind! They would not let this pass!

The leader calmed the Orcs down and said, "Human, follow me!"

Zhang Yang followed the Orc into the campsite. He saw that the Orcs here were all red-skinned. All sorts of Orcs were there, male and female, young and old. They all looked at Zhang Yang, especially the Orcs children as if they were laying eyes upon an alien visitor for the first time. All of them were curious to see Zhang Yang's arrival.

After walking continuously for more than 10 minutes, the Orc finally led Zhang Yang to the front of a large building. After a series of security checks, Zhang Yang finally met the Chieftain of the campsite.

[Roger Kluge. Hellscream] (Mythical, Humanoid)

Level: 125

HP: 37.500,000

Defense: 5,200

Melee Attack: 33,207 - 39,207

Skills:

[Wind Walk: Enters an invisible state and increases movement speed by 100%. Increases the damage of the next Skill by 200%. The effect would only last for 1 minute, or it would fade if the user does any additional actions other than moving around.

[Storm Blades: Swing your weapon around and inflict every single target within your melee attack range with the Attack of your weapon!

[Jumping Slash: Melee Attack will have a 20% rate of triggering a Critical Attack.

Note: The Chieftain of the Red-Skinned Orcs, he is as wise as he is brave!

As Chieftain of the Red-Skinned Orcs, he was also red in color. The difference was that he was in a much deeper tone, that you would have thought that he had dipped himself in a pool of blood. Although he was middle-aged, this Chieftain did not look like his age. He had an intimidating aura around him, even though he appeared to be calm for the moment. A long sword was slung over his back. Although he was not particularly large, nor did his muscles ripple, but he gave the impression that he could just tug that sword from its scabbard and turn his enemies into mincemeat, all in a single motion!

"Human, the message, please!" Roger Kluge spoke in a deep rumble that was clouded with sorrow.

Zhang Yang took the out 'Message' from his inventory and passed it over to Roger Kluge, then he said, "My respected Chieftain, what sort of enemies are you up against? I have friends that are Orcs as well. Although they are not of your clan, I am willing to provide aid in such regards!"

A hint of surprise and respect came across the noble Orc's face for a brief moment. He nodded at Zhang Yang in acknowledgment and began to read the 'Message' as he unfurled the scroll. The more he read, the more intense his expression grew, and the more his fists clenched and quivered. Zhang Yang could see that the Chieftain was on the verge of popping a vein!

The old Orc sat down in his chair and gathered his thoughts for a moment before he started speaking again, "Close to our territory, there is a mining cave. You can mine for some sort of ore they call the [Light of Miracle]. These ores are extremely fantastic and unique. They contain powerful magic, and can be used as the power source for magic staffs! This canyon is named The 'Radiant Canyon' because there is no difference here during day and night. Every single rock and stone in this place produces the 'light of miracle'. After all, the normal rocks and stones in the normal mountains and valleys do not have the [Light of Miracle, so they are not suitable for us!"

Therefore, it appeared that this [Light of Miracle] was a type of mining ore. If Zhang Yang had known this before getting himself into all these troubles, he would have gone to mine the item himself!

At least, that was what Zhang Yang told himself. Of course, he also knew that the system would never make things so convenient, or any other player in the entire game would have been able to acquire quest items without the need of going through any quests, or even slaying bosses! Also, only players in the mining profession would be able to mine ores! So, if he doesn't complete this quest, then he will be unable to mine for the [Light of Miracle] even if he really stumbles across it. He could only stare at them.

Roger Kluge continued to talk, "Mining the [Light of Miracle] requires a very specific type of Magic Equipment. We don't have enough finances to go around purchasing those equipment yet. Therefore, we have been sending men to guard the entrance of the mining cave all this while. Also, we've been able to gather some of those loose pieces of [Light of Miracles] lying around the cave"

Then, why was there a dead orc, now?

Roger Kluge did not intend to tantalize Zhang Yang at all. As such he quickly spoke, "However, just beyond the land of Radiant Canyon, there is also another tribe of Orcs. They are the Blue-Skinned Orcs, and they have been ambushing my people at the mining cave, even as we speak! Although they are much larger in number and much stronger than us, they are not capable of wiping us out yet. If we really were to engage them, we would suffer great losses, and so will they! When they are weakened, other Orcs from different tribes will surely try to take their place as the most powerful tribe! It would be all over for them!"

Bam! The old Orc slapped the surface of the table hard, as teapots and cups jumped up for a split second before returning to the surface of the table, and said, "Those Blue-Skinned Orcs know that very well! Therefore, they did not attack us directly. Instead, they decided to coerce a bunch of goblins into snatching the mining cave of the [Light of Miracle] from us! Pui! The campsite of these goblins are very close to the mining cave. However, all Orcs know very well that the mining cave belongs to us, the Red-Skinned Orcs! If those filthy, weak little creatures did not have the support of the Blue-Skinned Orcs, they would not have had the guts to do such a thing!"

Zhang Yang finally got his chance to say something, so he asked, "Why would the Blue-Skinned Orcs be doing this? Aren't they afraid to go head-to-head against your tribe? Although goblins are known to be a filthy greedy tribe, everyone knows that the goblins have almost 0 power in battle. Even if Blue-Skinned Orcs really form an alliance with the Goblins, their battle power will not even change by a bit! The outcome would be the same!"

Roger Kluge shook his head, then he said, "Human, you have no idea how Orc 'Politics' works!" He then let out a breath of sigh as he continued to explain, "The number of Orc tribes that dare to ambush the mining cave is extremely low. Well, most of the Orc tribes come up with excuses so that they do not have to send their troops and join the Blue-Skinned Orcs in their ambush! Meanwhile, although we Red-Skinned Orcs are a little weaker than the Blue-Skinned Orc, but among all the Orcs, we are good enough to rank fifth! No other tribe will have an easy time taking us out! At worst, both sides will suffer heavy losses, and lose their respective standings! However, with the Goblins at the front line, they would have a reason to form an alliance to go up against us!"

The situation was pretty complicated!

Zhang Yang frowned as he had never been good in any form of politics, and he said, "My respected Chieftain, what do you plan to do, then?"

Roger Kluge began to drum his fingers on the surface of the table as he continued to speak, "I have sent a messenger over to the campsite of the Goblins to express our rage and to once again reiterate, strongly, to everyone else that the Miracle Mining Cave belongs to us, the Red-Skinned Orcs. The goblins should know that if they are playing with fire, they will get burned!"

What a familiar line!

"But Aldo is dead!" Zhang Yang said.

"That's right, Aldo is dead!" Roger Kluge suddenly had a murderous look in his eyes, "So those goblins must believe that the Blue-Skinned Orcs are supporting them now! Do they believe that we will not lay a hand on them? Human, since that you are willing to aid us, then I gratefully accept! I shall give you a quest! Get over to the Miracle Mining Cave and wipe all the goblins trespassing the area. That should teach them a lesson!"

'Ding! Roger Kluge has given you a quest, Teach the Goblins a Lesson, accept or decline?'

Accept.

Zhang Yang walked out of the tent. Then, he summoned the Thunderhawk out. At the speed of light, Zhang Yang lunged into the sky and began his journey over to the quest location. Of course, he had that greedy thought of even getting his hands on a [Light of Miracle] the moment he lands there. If that is the case, he would be able to fly back to hand in the previous quest and get over with it.

Less than ten minutes after soaring through the sky, Zhang Yang arrived at the entrance of the mining cave.

This location could be easily marked and recognized, as there was a large number of goblins all around the entrance of the mining cave. The goblins had no hair at all in the middle of their heads, and they were even shorter than the dwarfs. They were also much smaller in size. These goblins were just a bunch of little creatures, as skinny as twigs. Their arms and legs were so thin that they looked very fragile! Judging from their appearance and the appearance of the Orcs, they were just like a bunch of 'looney-toon' creatures with only 5 Attack power!

At the other side of the mining cave, there were over 100 Red-Skinned Orcs standing off against them. The two sides were staring at each other as if they were about to clash! Although the goblins were not exactly outnumbered, if these two troops really clash into each other, the Orcs would crush those goblins like crispy crackers within 5 minutes!

Well, it seems that this Roger Kluge is really a patient Chieftain!

Zhang Yang could not help but to shake his head over and over again. He understood that a Chieftain had many things to take into consideration before making a move. No matter which side he decides to slaughter, there will be consequences. So, he cannot act according to his own will. The quest only required Zhang Yang to slay 24 goblins, however, Roger Kluge did mention that the more goblins Zhang Yang slays, the happier Roger Kluge would be.

Let's make us a happy Chieftan. Zhang Yang decided to wipe out ever goblin in sight!

He patted on Thunderhawk as they charged towards the goblins' side. He picked his first target.

[Philpines Goblin]

Level: 115

HP: 1,150,000

Defense: 1,200

Melee Attack: 7,623 - 9,623

Skills:

[Goblin Mortar Strike: Mortars crafted from the technology of the Goblins, inflicts 20,000 Fire damage to targets. Instant activation. Range: 30 meters.

[Goblin Defibrillator: Attempts to revive one of their fallen comrades.

[Goblin Pulse Rifle: Launches a shot at the target, inflicting 20,000 Nature Damage, and stuns the target for 10 seconds. Casting time: 1 second. Range: 30 meters.

Note: Philpines Goblins had inherited all attributes of the goblins. They prefer the soft way rather than the hard way. They greed for gold. However, they will not stay and fight to their deaths when they face danger, instead, they will just run away like cowards! Because they are naturally born weak in combat, they have invented a type of 'Supporting Attack' called 'Technology' to support them in battle.

They prefer the soft way rather than the hard way, they say? Hehe, then let's show they how hard this [Heaven Shaker] hits!

Zhang Yang let out a shout as he threw his {Spear of Obliteration} over to one of the Philpines Goblins

'-27,822!'

The shadow of a spear stabbed straight through the body of the goblin and red blood spilled from the greenish body of the monster to all over the place as it shrieked in pain. It jumped 3 meters high, as if something had seared its buttocks. After that, the goblin quickly raised up its spear and charged at Zhang Yang.

"You filthy human! How dare to show your disrespect by attacking a Goblin of the great Philpines!" This goblin was charging towards Zhang Yang. The money-minded Goblin snarled, "You must compensate me for this! Hand over at least 100 gold pieces, and I shall consider not killing you!"

Pak! Pak!

Felice and the Thunderhawk completed their casting almost at the same time as they shot out their attacks.

"Argh! Another two! Human! You are not going to get away with just 100 gold pieces!"

Chapter 541: Slow-acting poison

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhang Yang laughed out loud, seeing how the Goblin was still rambling on about compensatory fees, even though he was about to die a most gruesome death. He was truly worthy of being a Goblin!

This goblin halted all of a sudden as it took out a mini-sized red mortar and directed it at Zhang Yang. Only god knows how the goblin had produced it out of thin air! The goblin fumbled around with the fuse at the bottom, while covering a ear with its free hand.

A series of sparkles ignited at the bottom of the mortar and boom! The mortar fired a blazing hot missile straight from its muzzle, a stream of burning light trailing behind it like a shooting star!

It may have seemed to be a long, slow process, what it had all unfolded within one-tenth of a second! Judging from the speed and the way it handled the weapon, the goblin had to be extremely proficient at handling that odd-looking weapon!

Zhang Yang only managed to turn his head before the fire missile hit him. The fire missile sent a shower of sparks over his entire body and Zhang Yang received '13,114' damage.

"Hahaha! Human, are you scared? Tremble before the 'Technology' of the goblins!" The little green goblin was pleased with itself. With a wave of its left hand, the red mortar vanished. It raised its spear up and charged towards Zhang Yang. After a few small, pathetic strides with its tiny feet, the goblin finally reached Zhang Yang and stabbed its spear at Zhang Yang's neck.

Chiang!

Zhang Yang immediately raised his shield to block the strike, and a series of sparks flew out between the tip of the spear and the surface of the shield. Zhang Yang blocked the goblin's attack, and then swung his [Heaven Shaker] towards the goblin and started turning it into mincemeat.

Unfortunately, in the game, despite having a battle power of 5 according to how the Orcs described them, along with their flavor text, when engaged in battle with players, Goblins would just as powerful as Orcs! They would have almost had similar stats, compared to normal Level 115 elite Tier monsters. However, a mere level 115 elite Tier monster cannot do anything much to defend itself against the mighty swings of Zhang Yang.

The goblin launched a few more fire missiles at Zhang Yang, and it also tried to stun Zhang Yang with its {Goblin Pulse Rifle}. However, although the {Goblin Mortar Strike} could not be interrupted as it can be instantly activated, the {Goblin Pulse Rifle} had a 1-second chanting time, so it could be easily interrupted by a professional player in many ways!

{Crash Magic} can be used to instantly cancel the {Goblin Pulse Rifle}. The stun effect of the {Blast Wave}, {Brutal Smash}, and {Heroic Leap} can also interrupt the chanting of a Skill. Unless it is a boss that is naturally designed to be immune to interruptions, it would just be a lame joke for any other normal Tier or elite Tier monsters to try to chant a Skill before Zhang Yang.

When the goblin's HP bar was down to about 10% left, the goblin was no longer showing any signs of arrogance on its face. Instead, it turned tail and fled in the opposite direction like a coward!

However, the 4-second stun effect of the {Blast Wave} was enough for Zhang Yang, Felice and Thunderhawk to deal at least 100,000 damage to the goblin and send it to its afterlife with ease.

Carrying on to the next target.

Zhang Yang threw another {Spear of Obliteration} at a second Goblin. This goblin had a {Goblin Defibrillator}, a Skill that is similar to some Skills of a Priest, or Knights that can actually resurrect a player. Thanks to game logic, even if the dead Goblin has had its heart ripped out or its skull smashed in, a simple shock would get them back to full fighting condition. Literally!

Even more annoying was the fact that killing those resurrected goblins will not reward the players with a single drop of experience points, or a single loot. What kind of logic is that!

Usually, players will suffer the same fate as Zhang Yang did right now because they would have no idea at all that killing the goblins in a group would give the goblins an opportunity to resurrect their fallen fellow goblins. Kill one group of goblins, and another group rises back from the dead. That is truly annoying!

Half an hour later, Zhang Yang had finally taken care of most of the goblins by the entrance of the mining cave. All that remained were the two elite Tier monsters standing by a tent that had been set up temporarily. However, Zhang Yang believed that these two elite monsters were just 'guards'. There should be another powerful goblin inside the tent.

Since these 'guards' are already elite Tier, then the goblin resting inside that tent must be a boss. The only question is, what Tier would this boss be?

If it is a Mythical boss, then Zhang Yang would not be able to slay the boss all by himself. But if it is just a Violet-Platinum Tier boss, then Zhang Yang can still depend on his {Shadow of the Void} to disengage from the battle and let Felice tank against the boss while activating her {Absolute Defense}, and he also can depend on using his ultimate god-slaying Skill, {Glare of the Death God}! He would still stand a chance at slaying the boss all by himself!

First, to identify the Tier of the boss. If it is a Mythical Tier boss, Zhang Yang would just hop on the Thunderhawk and fly away as swiftly as possible from the battlefield. He already fulfilled the criteria for completing the quest, there would be no reason for him to risk dying for nothing! But if it is a Violet-Platinum Tier boss, Zhang Yang would just take the boss down. After all, a 'free' boss is not to be missed!

He began by hurling his [Spear of Obliteration} at one of the monsters as usual. The goblin on the left was struck by the {Spear of Obliteration}. The two goblins have shared aggro vision, so both of them began to let out some weird roars and charged towards Zhang Yang.

"You bunch of filthy shorties! Can't you just give me a rest already?" right after an annoyed grumble, a large and tall Blue-Skinned Orc came out of from the tent. Two large and sharp teeth bulged out from the folds of the Orc's lower lip, making it look very fierce and intimidating.

[Bermuly. Meryl Lynch] (Yellow-Gold, Humanoid Creature)

Level: 120

HP: 3,600,000

Defense: 2,120

Melee Attack: 9,222 - 13,222

Skills:

[Wind Walk: Enters an invisible state. movement speed increased by 100%. Increases the damage of the next Skill by 200%. The effect will only last for 1 minute, or it will fade if the user does any other actions besides moving around.

[Storm Blades: Swing your weapon around and attacks everything within melee range!

[Jumping Slash: Melee Attack will have a 20% rate of triggering Critical Attacks.

Note: Blue-Skinned Orcs are one of the largest factions of the Orcs. They have the most influential power in Radiant Canyon. The Blue-Skinned Orcs love to intervene in the affairs of others. But because they have an extremely high battle power, no other Orcs dare to stand up and challenge them.

What the f*ck! That was a Yellow-Gold boss!

Zhang Yang was extremely disappointed. Violet-Platinum equipment currently flood the market. It would already be a miracle for a Yellow-Gold Tier equipment to sell at anything above 1,000 gold! Although the drop rate for Yellow-Gold equipment wasn't really that high, players can basically farm for an endless amount of Yellow-Gold equipment from dungeons!

The Normal Mode of the Dragon Throat Fortress would drop Level 100 - 110 Gray-Silver equipment, the Hard Mode of the Dragon Throat Fortress would drop Level 100 - 110 Yellow-Gold equipment, and the Hardcore Mode of the Dragon Throat Fortress would drop Level 100 - 110 Violet-Platinum equipment! As there are too many bosses in the Dragon Throat Fortress, along with the relatively easy first 5 bosses of the Dungeon in Normal Mode and Hard Mode, it is really so much easier for the players to farm for Yellow-Gold Tier equipment. Therefore, the level 100 Yellow-Gold equipment are definitely becoming the average standard for all players.

Of course, as the Hardcore Mode of that dungeon is insanely difficult for players at the current stage of the game, it would still be impossible for them to clear the Hardcore Mode to farm for Violet-Platinum equipment! Therefore, only the Violet-Platinum Tier equipment can be sold at good prices for now. Unless those Level Yellow-God equipment are extremely rare necklaces, accessories, rings that cannot be found from boss drops, players would just dismantle the Yellow-Gold equipment into a bunch of [Runestones]!

The moment when Bermuly. Meryl Lynch took notice of Zhang Yang, he revealed a tired, bothered face. Bermuly. Meryl Lynch tugged the battle sword that hung over his back out and muttered, "I could have never expected a human to intervene in the affairs of the Orcs. Looks like you've run out of reasons to live!"

Shoof!

He did not even give Zhang Yang the chance to explain himself as he swung his battle sword and charged at Zhang Yang. Of course, it would actually be normal for the boss to charge right at players upon sight. Unless there is a drama mode going on, that's what bosses are for.

A Yellow-Gold boss can only show off their long amount of HP! Other than that, they are basically child's play to high Tiered players! Their normal attacks alone were already half of Zhang Yang's. The gap would only widen when Zhang Yang's Skills are activated. The boss was only called a boss at this point, due to their HP. It was the only thing worth mentioning.

The {Inheritance Transformation} can make a player so powerful as the Skill itself can boost the HP of a player by game-breaking amounts! For instant, a Class S [Inheritance] only boosts a player's Attack by a multiplication of 5, but it can boost a player's Maximum HP up by 40 times! It would turn a player into a boss! That would create a real pain in the *ss for the players who haven't acquired [Inheritances]!

Zhang Yang met the boss without any sense of fear. With the shield in his hand swinging out, Zhang Yang bashed the boss with a solid hit and pushed the boss backward!

Zhang Yang could not help but felt shocked himself. Initially, the Titan Armor Set that he was wearing should logically was not on par with the Strength of a Level 120 Yellow-Gold boss. However, after he rolled in a few pieces of Mythical Tier equipment to replace some of his Titan Armor Set pieces, Zhang Yang's Strength had actually increased up to the point that he could now suppress a Yellow-God boss! He was not even aware of this fact himself!

This would make things really easy now. Having the advantage in his Strength, he could now fully unleash the potential of his 'Supporting Attacks', suppressing the boss to the point that the boss could not do anything at all!

As he was engaging the boss, Zhang Yang did not forget to turn around and smack the two goblins around as well. With his shield in his hand, he kept the boss and the two goblins occupied with bashes, slams, shoves, sweeps of the legs, and kicks. The two goblins could not do a thing, crying out loud miserably while being 'toyed' around by Zhang Yang. Meanwhile, the attack combination of Zhang Yang, Felice, and Thunderhawk was so powerful that it took them less than a minute to bring the HP bar of the boss down to 50%!

"My lord Bermuly. Meryl Lynch, I think we should scram now!" Although Zhang Yang's assaults were well focused on the boss, the two goblins were also receiving damage from the AoE attack of Zhang Yang. Even though they only lost a small amount of HP, goblins are creatures that feared death. So when they saw the powerful Orc being beaten down, they began to raise the notion of retreat.

The Blue-Skinned Orc let out a cry of rage as he began to swing his sword more swiftly than ever and hacked at Zhang Yang's shield in vain, "I am an Orc! I am not a filthy little goblin that can't face death in the face! There will always be the Orc who falls in battle, never an Orc who runs from the battle!"

After that, Bermuly. Meryl Lynch became an Orc who fell in battle! Within two minutes, the combination attacks of Zhang Yang, Felice and Thunderhawk had emptied out Bermuly. Meryl Lynch's HP bar. The boss let out a miserable cry and collapsed to the ground. Upon his death, the boss dropped quite a few pieces of equipment that glittered gold. However, Zhang Yang showed no interest at all.

The moment when the boss died, the two goblins quickly turned around and ran away. Zhang Yang hopped onto Thunderhawk and began to pursue one of the goblins. After making quick work of it, Zhang Yang rode Thunderhawk and flew around the map, finding the second Goblin hiding among the trees. He slaughtered it as well. Not a single Goblin was left alive in the cave.

Zhang Yang was not willing to give up on the hope that he still had a chance of stumbling upon the [Light of Miracle] that he needs for his quest. He wandered about the mining cave, trying to see if there were any. But Zhang Yang had no idea at all on how a [Light of Miracle] looks like, so how would he know one if it was dangling right in front of it? So, after he went for a spin in the mining cave, he had no choice but to return to the campsite of the Red-Skinned Orcs, empty-handed to report back to Roger Kluge. Hellscream.

"That's quite a surprise you gave me back there, human!" Roger Kluge looked at Zhang Yang with surprise, then he said, "I have just received news from the guards that I stationed in the mining cave. They informed me that you actually took out every single one of the goblins! Hahaha! Although those are just some weak goblins, you have convinced me of your sincerity!"

'Ding! You have completed a quest: Teach the Goblins a Lesson, acquired 1,000,000 experience points. You have slain a total of 82 goblins and 1 Orc Captain. Your Relationship with Roger Kluge has grown stronger by an additional 1,020 points!'

So it's another 'relationship'! Am I getting into a homosexual one this time?

Zhang Yang laughed a little, then he said, "I believe that the brave Red-Skinned Orcs can also accomplish it without any problem!"

"Hahaha!" Roger Kluge laughed heartily, and continued to speak, "Your bravery reminds me of my younger self! Very well! I was not going to give you another quest if you did a half-*ss job about it. But, you have proved me wrong! So now, I truly believe that you will definitely be able to complete this upcoming quest!"

If players only killed about 20 goblins just to fulfill the criteria of the quest and reported back to Roger Kluge, then they would only be completing the basic criteria of the quest. By then, Roger Kluge would not have even bothered mentioning anything else, other than rewarding the players and sending them on their way. Only by killing more goblins, would Roger Kluge be impressed enough to continue giving them quests.

Zhang yang nodded and asked, "Chieftain, what more good can I do for your fellow Orcs?"

"Hmm... I need you to enter the goblin's campsite and take out their second-in-command, Guitteny. That is the worm who tipped the balance that the Blue-Skinned Orcs had with us! If he is dead, then the goblins should go silent for a bit!" Roger Kluge raised a hand up to stop Zhang Yang from speaking up, and then he continued to explain, "Rest assured, I'm not going to send you in to die! Take these, I am entrusting you my ultimate Magic Scrolls. They would allow you to use a magic called, 'Wind Walk'. You can use these to enter into the heart of the goblin campsite without being spotted and plant the poison into Guitteny's 'Honey Pot'!"

'Ding! Roger Kluge. Hellscream has a quest for yout: Poison em up! Will you accept it?'

Accept.

'Ding! You have acquired an item: [Magic Scroll: Wind Walk] X 2!'

'Ding! You have acquired an item: [Colorless and odorless Poison] X 1!'

'Ding! You have acquired an item: [Indication Map on Goblins' Campsite] X 1!'

Zhang Yang realized that a bottle, two [Magic Scroll: Wind Walk, and one Map appeared in his inventory. The bottle would be the poison that he would be using to complete the quest, so there was nothing special about it. Then, he took out the [Magic Scroll: Wind Walk] to examine them.

[Magic Scroll: Wind Walk: You will acquire the Wind Walk effect, entering an invisible state. Movement speed increases by 100%. The damage of your next Skill will increase by 200%. The effect will only last for 10 minutes, or it will fade away if the user does any actions other then moving around. Cooldown: 10 minutes

Note: Roger Kluge. Hellscream made this himself.

Zhang Yang could not help but to palpitate with excitement, thinking that if he had unlimited [Magic Scrolls: Wind Walk] for himself, it would be like obtaining a new skill permanently. A new skill that would turn him into an invisible Guardian who holds the destructive power of a Berserker and the elusiveness of a Thief. Unfortunately, the quest only rewarded Zhang Yang with two pieces of [Magic Scroll: Wind Walk]. Zhang Yang surmised that one was for him to infiltrate the goblin's campsite, and the other is for him to escape from any possible difficult situation.

Under the normal circumstance, players must use up both of the [Magic Scroll: Wind Walk] in order to successfully 'plant' the poison deep in the campsite. However, there are also players with specific Classes that can complete the quest without using the [Magic Scroll: Wind Walk] that they acquire from the NPC -- for instance, Thieves. They can probably enter their Stealth Mode and infiltrate the enemy's campsite and 'plant' the poison at the right spot, then get out of the campsite without being spotted. By doing so, they will be able to earn two extra [Magic Scroll: Wind Walk] for their own usage!

Although Zhang Yang did not have the Skill {Stealth}, he had something similar -- {Burrow} and {Shadow of the Void}!

Very well, here's a chance to earn two [Magic Scroll: Wind Walk] after all. It would be very handy for players to use them and assassinate their enemies! {Invisibility} and {Stealth} are two different things. {Stealth} would only be effective at a certain distance from the enemy. Get close enough, and they would no longer be in {Stealth}. But things are different for {Invisibility}. There is not specific way to reveal the caster as of now. Even if the caster is standing 1 inch right before the player, making funny faces like a mime, nobody will ever know!

Following the directions of the quest, Zhang Yang rode Thunderhawk and traveled over to the campsite of the goblins.

These creatures try really hard to make up for their poor physical traits via the research and usage of 'Technology'. Their buildings clearly showed that. Each of the buildings was built with metallic materials in the shapes of cogs. The cogs are constantly spinning, making some really annoying mechanical sounds that made people wonder, how could the goblins ever get a peaceful night's sleep!

Chapter 543: Heavily Fortified Goblin Campsite

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

This mechanical city was a little smaller than the campsite of the Orcs, but they made up for that by sheer height. The buildings here are at least five-stories to eight-stories tall, made by layers after layers of gears and cogs. To locate for a specific monster in such a complex place was not exactly like looking for a needle in a haystack, but it would be a tall order, nonetheless!

Fortunately for Zhang Yang, he was provided with a map. He quickly took the map out to take a look at it. He saw a skull drawn on the left upper corner of the map. That must be where the target is.

Zhang Yang activated {Burrow} and began to move northeast. As his movement speed is halved when {Burrow} is activated, Zhang Yang made so progress. It took quite a while for him to reach beneath the building where his 'target' was.

It made sense for this quest to provide every player with [Magic Scroll: Wind Walk]. The goblins are afraid to die, and the ones who carry ranks would be even more afraid to die! There were many elite Tier goblin guards in every corner of the building, and Zhang Yang could not simply use his {Burrow} to get to the top floor of the building. He was left with two choices: One, use the [Magic Scroll: Wind Walk] to get to the top floor; Two, kill everything and charge straight to the top floor.

Zhang Yang was really determined to keep his [Magic Scroll: Wind Walk] for his own use in the future, so he had made up his mind to slaughter everything in his way to open up a way to the top floor of the building.

After observing the whereabouts of the goblins in the area, Zhang Yang began to sneak out from his hiding spot towards the entrance of the building. He used the blind spots of the goblins to avoid detection. Then he summoned Felice and Thunderhawk out. However, the size of this building is built according to the size of the goblins. Zhang Yang had to bend over his back in order to move around in the building, meanwhile, Thunderhawk had to hunker down just to be able to move forward. It was extremely inconvenient for them.

Under such circumstances, it would also be difficult for Zhang Yang to wield his weapon around freely, or even use his 'Supporting Attacks' for the moment.

Therefore, Zhang Yang was being extremely cautious. If he ever encounters 3 of the goblins at the same time, he might not be able to handle the situation, and he might even be forced to activate his {Radiance of the God of War}! Also, the {Radiance of the God of War} was not the same as the {Berserker's Heal} which only had a 2-minute cooldown. The {Radiance of the God of War} can only be used again after 30 minutes, turning it into a very high Tier life saving Skill, instead of a regular Skill that can be used throughout an entire battle!

With his {Spear of Obliteration}, Zhang Yang attracted one goblin over and engaged it in battle. But this goblin is a Hunter type monster. It raised its firearm and aimed the muzzle straight at Zhang Yang. Without even taking a step, it started firing away.

Zhang Yang quickly dodged and hid behind a pillar, forcing the monster to come over to him.

If the enemy was a player, of course, the player would not be 'tricked' so easily. Even if the player would no longer be able to see its target, the player would still go around the pillar, maintaining a large distance. As a Hunter, the most important thing in a battle is maintaining their distance. Instead, this little green goblin let our a weird cry as it charged at Zhang Yang.

"Intruder! There is an intruder in the premises!" battling against an enemy all alone is not the style of the goblin. So the goblin was shouting out loud to alert its other little green friends.

For players, the only way to get the aggro of a monster is to enter the aggro range of the monster. It wouldn't actually matter how loud the player shouts, the monsters will not be able to hear the player and would completely ignore them. However, monsters shouting at each other was another matter. If anyone of the monsters shouts, the others that are nearby will be able to pick up the 'signal' and get attracted over to the monster that is shouting.

Instantly, 7 other goblins came towards Zhang Yang, brandishing their firearms. Fortunately, these monsters did not shout out, or else, it would start a domino effect of more and more Goblins being alerted! Things would definitely be out of hands for Zhang Yang!

Such cowards!

The first goblin to shout had now earned Zhang Yang's intense ire. But things had already escalated to such an extent, so Zhang Yang could only choose on whether to activate his {Shadow of the Void} to escape, or to stay and fight!

He took up his shield and tightened his grip on the shield strap. The terrain of this area was very suitable for Zhang Yang to block out the monsters with obstacles, causing the Hunter goblins to come near him and engage him in melee combat. Well, the Melee Attack of the Hunter goblins are far weaker than their Ranged Attacks, after all. So Zhang Yang had no reason to worry about getting slaughtered up by these 8 goblins.

Although it was really easy to use the terrain of the area to lure the Hunter type monsters to him, moving around with his back bent over was another problem. Zhang Yang was soon surrounded by the 8 goblins and they began to pummel him. As he sustained the assaults from the goblins, fortunately, Felice and Thunderhawk were there to share his burden. The two of them took on one goblin each, decreasing his workload.

Zhang Yang has {Shield Wall} which can recover 75% HP, Felice has {Absolute Defense}, while Thunderhawk has {Wild Recovery} and {Madness} to heal themselves up. They actually managed to hold their ground against these 8 elite Tier goblins! 6 minutes later, the 8 goblins all lay dead on the ground. Although the goblins have {Goblin Defibrillator} to revive themselves once, the resurrected goblins would only come back with 20% HP. So, it wouldn't be a problem for Zhang Yang to slay them once again.

After clearing out that wave of goblins, Zhang Yang realized that he had cleared out all the guards of this floor.

Following down the narrow path, Zhang Yang felt like a little doggy crawling through a the flap in doors meant for dogs. That really had Zhang Yang cursing and making himself a promise that he would never set foot in the campsite of the goblins again!

On the second floor, there were another 8 elite Tier goblins scouting around. Zhang Yang repeated what he did on the first floor and he began to use the narrow entrance of the stairwells to get out of their line of fire. The surrounding space was really narrow for Zhang Yang, but was rather large and comfortable for the skinny and short goblins. Four of them could actually attack Zhang Yang at the same time.

Despite that, it was enough for Zhang Yang and Thunderhawk to block the goblins as Felice transformed into her Dragonhawk Form and attack them behind their safety line. As Felice's {Absolute Defense} had a cooldown period of 12 hours, she was now limited to her flying, mobile cannon form.

They took out the goblins with ease and it was a brief battle. After that, they went on to the third floor, the fourth floor to repeat the same process. Half an hour later, Zhang Yang arrived at the top floor of the building.

Compared to the floors below, the seventh floor was far more spacious and adorned with a grand decor. There are quite an abundance of silk and satin used in decorating the floor. Every single furniture on the floor was highly stylized. However, the clanking between the machines would be the only reason for this place to be unsuitable for a boss Tier monster to live in. Excluding the goblins, of course. This place was more like a factory than a room.

Well, goblins are basically the bumpkins in {{God's Miracle}}, so they would still look like a bunch of side characters even though they were wearing high-class robes.

However, Zhang Yang did not see any signs of a boss on that floor.

He thought about it and it clicked. 'Poison em up!' was basically a quest that requires players to complete it in stealth. Even players are using the [Magic Scroll: Wind Walk, would be forced out of stealth when they begin to poison the targeted 'Pot of Honey'. If the boss is there to witness the players doing it, would the boss be stupid enough to still chug the entire thing down to its stomach?

Furthermore, Goblins are infamous for their cowardice. Therefore, the game developer decided to make things simpler by removing the boss from the scene.

Zhang Yang located the 'Pot of Honey' almost immediately. It was a quest objective, anyway. Any player who has accepted the quest will be able to see that 'Pot of Honey' flashing about like a beacon. He took out the bottle of poison from his inventory and poured the liquid in.

The moment Zhang Yang placed the 'Pot of Honey' down, he heard footsteps. Zhang Yang quickly activated his {Shadow of the Void} and entered the dimension of the void. Then, he quickly ran downstairs. 20 seconds later, Zhang Yang got out of the void as his {Shadow of the Void} faded away. He revealed himself on the fifth floor. Then he began to walk carefully towards the stairs leading down to the lower floor. Turning his head over to the side, he saw a goblin with the name - 'Guitteny' sitting in a chair like a boss. There were also 12 elite Tier goblins standing behind it. On top of the table right before Guitteny, there was a cup and the 'Pot of Honey'. Zhang Yang recognized that pot immediately. That was the pot that he had just poisoned. Looks like the boss isn't far from death now.

Guitteny is a Level 125 Mythical Tier boss and had a small troop of elite Tier goblins by his side. So Zhang Yang would not be able to solo the boss without his {God of War Transformation}. However, the quest did not need him to kill the boss. All Zhang Yang needed to do was to poison the honey, let the boss take the honey and drop dead!

"Argh! Cough! Cough! Cough!" Guitteny suddenly grabbed its own neck as it began to tense up a little. It's eyes were almost popped as it was pointing its finger at the goblin soldiers. However, Guitteny could not even pronounce a word. After writhing about, Guitteny collapsed onto the ground and died.

Those goblins were looking at each other as it was happening. The moment they realized that their boss was dead, they suddenly screamed as they made their way out of the door.

Without any hesitation, Zhang Yang activated his {Rearm} to reset the cooldown period for {Shadow of the Void}, and then he reentered the void again before making his way out of the campsite to make sure that he does not stumble across some goblins! However, after he entered the void, Zhang Yang did not leave the scene immediately. He wanted to check on any loot that the boss might have dropped. But, the game system was not that generous. So, the boss did not drop anything.

Beggars can't be choosers!

After shaking his head, Zhang Yang went down to the ground floor and activated {Burrow}. Then, he made his way out of the goblin's campsite and broke out of the ground once he was outside the campsite. Zhang Yang summoned his Thunderhawk, and they left immediately.

Zhang Yang met up with the Chieftan back at the campsite of the Red-Skinned Orcs.

"Warrior, are you sure that you are a pure-blooded human?" Roger Kluge could no longer conceal his surprise beneath his calm facial expression anymore as he pointed his finger at Zhang Yang and said, "Only the great Orcs of our species can breed out such excellent warriors! Are you sure that your father is not one of the great Orcs like us?"

What the hell, man!

Zhang Yang rolled his eyes at the Chieftain, but he knew that this elder Orc was actually praising him in his own Orcish way. Still, those word were a little hard to accept!

Roger Kluge then talked about lots of unrelated things before he finally went to the main point, "So, my brave human. The death of Guitteny should have shaken up the entire tribe of the goblins, serving as a warning to them. They should now be reminded that we are not to be trifled with. I have just received news from the goblins that they are giving up on taking over the Miracle Mining Cave. They will honor and respect our proprietorship over the Miracle Mining Cave! However, the Blue-Skinned Orcs will not just stand by aside and let us mine as we please. They will never give us any chance to grow stronger than them and take over the top!"

He let out a sigh before he continued, "Those bastards have put a large number of Blood Spider's eggs inside the mining cave, and now the eggs are hatching! They are wreaking havoc in the mining cave as we speak! I have sent warriors over to destroy the Blood Spider's nest. So my brave human, are you willing to aid us any further on this?"

'Ding! Roger Kluge has a quest for you: Exterminate the Blood Spiders. Will you accept it?'

"Very well indeed!" Roger Kluge was nodding with relief, and then he turned his head back to Zhang Yang and said, "Hehe, I am very certain now. Your ancestor must be an Orc!"

Zhang Yang, "..."

Description: Roger Kluge wants you to go over to the Miracle Mining Cave, slay 20 Blood Spiders, and slay the leader of the Blood Spider, the Blood Spider King to eliminate all threats in the cave!

Chapter 544: The Appearance of the First Player with a Class A Inheritance

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The objective of the quest would be very obvious. Zhang Yang did not say anything unnecessary. Immediately, he hopped onto the back of Thunderhawk and once again headed over to the Miracle Mining Cave.

After flying about for a brief while, Zhang Yang arrived back at the entrance of the mining cave. The Goblin-Orc standoff was no longer there. Instead, there was a small-scale defense facility built by the entrance of the mining cave. There was a row of Orcs, most probably about 20 elite Tier Orcs, standing behind a wooden wall that had spikes all over it. Meanwhile, there were also giant spiders, with scarlet red linings on their backs, coming straight out from the mining cave, one after another, and they would attack the Orcs right outside the cave.

Zhang Yang could not help but frown. It was just about half a day of in-game time after everything that he has gone through. Well, let's see. First, Zhang Yang wiped out a troop of goblins by the entrance of the mining cave, then he went on over to the goblin campsite to poison their leader, and then he went back to see the Chieftain to accept this quest before getting here. How the hell did it get to this! Didn't the Chieftain told Zhang Yang that those were just freshly hatched eggs? Well, these are no ordinary baby spiders then, these are more like gigantic spider monsters!

Zhang Yang hopped off from the back of Thunderhawk and stopped by the wooden wall. When the Orcs caught sight of Zhang Yang's presence, looks of admiration and respect were expressed on their faces. Everyone was saying, "Hey, human! Great job on the goblin's campsite!"

"That's really brave of you! You're already on par with me!"

"Human, are you sure your father, or your grandfather, or your great grandfather does not have the blood of the great Orcs?"

What the hell! Here it goes again! Zhang Yang could not accept the 'praise' that these Orcs had for him! He quickly said, "So how's the situation down there in the mines?"

"Worse than the gas that my grandma has!" an Orc spat and said, "The Blue-Skinned Orcs are really bad eggs. They actually planted a massive number of Blood Spider's eggs within the Miracle Mining Cave! The worse part about this is that these Blood Spiders will grow and breed rapidly as long as they consume enough fresh blood. Now, the Miracle Mining cave has become the lair of the Blood Spiders! Talk about taking back the mines, we can barely hold ourselves against the hordes of Blood Spiders from getting out by the entrance of the mining cave!"

"Curse those foul Blue-Skinned Orcs! I say that their ancestors must have been f*cked by some cunning fox! That's why their descendants are so cunning! They are a disgrace to the Orcs!"

No wonder this quest is ranked as an A-rank quest. The Blood Spider King must be located in the deepest part of the mining cave. Players would have to battle against countless waves of Blood Spiders before reaching the boss. Furthermore, the narrow space of the mining cave provided little space for the party members to spread out into formations. At most, only 10 to 30 players may be able to form a front row capable of facing the boss at any single instance. The lack of space for maneuvering and the small numbers would make fighting the boss all the more perilous.

Zhang Yang nodded, then he walked into the mining cave with bold, large steps as the Orcs gazed at his back with admiring looks on their faces. Their sense of recognizing Zhang Yang as one of their own had grown stronger than ever, believing that he has the blood of a noble Orc surging through his veins!

The second Zhang Yang set foot in the mining cave, a spider with the size of a calf lurked out of the corner of the cave and came up to Zhang Yang. The entire body of the spider was black, from the tips of its fangs to the end of its eight legs. Blood red stripes lined its back, similar to how blood vessels run along the skin of a living being. The fearsome combination of red and black was a mixture of disgust and horror.

The legs of the spiders were no less deadly than an actual spears. If their legs were straightened out, they would be facing the Thunderhawk at eye-level. Such was the magnitude of their height.

[Starving Blood Spider] (Elite, Beast)

Level: 125

HP: 1,250,000

Defense: 1,300

Magic Attack: 5,082 - 6,082

Skills:

[Spider Venom Spit: Spits spider venom at the target, causing 150% Magic Attack of Nature Damage to the target. Instant activation. Cooldown: 2 seconds. Range: 30 meters.

[Web Entanglement: Entangles the target with sticky spider webs, causing the target to be entangled on the spot, lasts for 10 seconds.

Note: Brutal, bloodthirsty creatures. As long as they feed on enough fresh blood, they can grow swiftly. They are merciless and cold-blooded. They have sworn to purge their enemies and prey.

The moment the Blood Spider detected the presence of Zhang Yang, it began to blink it's large eyes and raised its body slightly above the ground. A projectile in the form of greenish venom was fired out from the spot below its belly button at Zhang Yang without any sign of warning.

'-4,297!'

A red numerical value popped right on top of Zhang Yang. Although the amount of damage he received was not much, however, Zhang Yang found himself completely drenched in the vile liquid, putting him in an awkward predicament. If Fatty Han had ever seen Zhang Yang in such a state, he would definitely be laughing at Zhang Yang for being 'sprayed' on!

Zhang Yang could not help but to let out a sigh. It would seem that the monsters in the mining cave are equipped with venomous projectile types of attacks! So, Zhang Yang is destined to be 'facialised' until he hits his climax!

{Charge}!

Zhang Yang clashed into the Blood Spider with the impact of a lightning bolt. Raising his [Heaven Shaker] high into the air, Zhang Yang gave a good smash to the spider's head. Felice and Thunderhawk were not just bystanders, they were also casting their own skills.

"Zhang Yang, I've just received news that the Europe Region has slain a Level 150 Ethereal boss!" just when Zhang Yang was sunk in the satisfaction of whacking the Blood Spider up, he received an unexpected message from Hundred Shots in the form of a voice message.

"Hmm?" Zhang Yang could not help but to frown slightly. For players at the current stage of the game, Ethereal Tier bosses are beings that exist on a whole different level. They commanded so much respect and fear, beyond anything else in the realm, that it would be unfathomable to even think about challenging them. Zhang Yang would be able to hold his own against the boss, thanks to his [God of War Transformation, but that would raise the question to another problem. Would his durability be matched by the total DpS of the others? Would there be enough players and enough firepower to slay the boss within the 2 hours that he could buy them?

The other question that must not be ignored lay within the level of the players at the current stage of the game. Level 150 Ethereal Tier bosses are usually located within Level 120 - 150 maps. The players at the current stage of the game were beginning to pop through the level cap of Level 100. If these players travel over to those high-level maps, they will definitely become homing signals that invite monsters from all over the map to come and whack their *sses!

Under such circumstances, it would proved too troublesome to to bring a large number of players over to the location of this boss. It was not impossible, but a great amount of money and time would be burnt over such efforts. Meanwhile, the gateway to the Chaos Realm had just been unlocked not too long ago, and the race to the 'First Clear' for the Hardcore Mode of the Dragon Throat Fortress had turned into a raging inferno. So, who would spare their precious time in battling a boss that had nothing to do with them at the moment?

After all, there wouldn't be the slightest benefit gained from slaying an Ethereal Tier boss at the time like this. Furthermore, even if the reduction of 20 Levels were accounted for, players will also have to wait until they hit Level 130 before they can actually put on the equipment that they acquire from the drops upon killing the Ethereal Tier boss! Such act will not assist in the progression of acquiring the 'First Clear' of a dungeon in any way!

"The Europe Region had mobilized every single player above Level 100 to the boss battle! A total amount of 70,000 players were involved. Rumor has it that they had used two [Forbidden Scrolls] as well! They spent a full day just to get the job done!" Hundred Shots was very eager to report the details he found to Zhang Yang.

Two [Forbidden Scrolls]?

Zhang Yang felt a jolt in his heart. So who exactly was the one who so generously spent two [Forbidden Scrolls] and 'hired' all the Europe players who have exceeded Level 100 to slay a 'valueless' boss! Furthermore, the glory of acquiring the 'First Clear' for an Ethereal boss had been claimed Lone Desert Smoke awhile ago, so why were they still so eager to do it?

"Are they trying to acquire some sort of [Inheritance] Class?" Zhang Yang asked out of his own convenience. There aren't many idiots in this world. So there is but one possibility that lay within that reason.

"Well, rumor also said that they were aiming for a Class A [Inheritance, an [Inheritance] by the name of [Blood Angel Inheritance]!" Hundred Shots sighed as he continued to speak, "Two [Forbidden Scrolls] were used! And they used those scrolls just to take on a boss! Two of them were called the [Forbidden Scroll: Absolute Lethargy]! It can reduce the Attack of the boss by 70%, and the effects last for as long as 10 hours! Without these two scrolls, I believe they wouldn't have stand a chance against the boss, even if they keep on running back to their corpses!"

"That being said, a player with [Blood Angel Inheritance] was born?" Zhang Yang took a deep breath after his mind crossed that thought. Although he has a Class S [God of War Inheritance, Zhang Yang would never have dare to underestimate any player who possesses an {Inheritance Transformation} Skill -- the reason is simple, Zhang Yang cannot just 'transform' whenever he wants to. For instance, his {God of War Transformation} was currently under a cooldown period. Even if one player with Class A [Inheritance, or Class B [Inheritance, or even a Class C [Inheritance] pops up, Zhang Yang might be obliterated!

"That's right! Nothing has been calm ever since we entered the Chaos Realm! And now, the tide has changed, players without [Inheritances] wouldn't stand a chance against players with [Inheritances]!" Hundred Shots shook his head as he sighed.

What he didn't know is that he will be the powerful Hunter that would dominate all others thanks to the Red Dragon pet. Any player with a Class A [Inheritance] would have to activate their {Inheritance Transformation}in order to be equal to his Strength. However, heaven's secrets must not be divulged, so Zhang Yang had to keep his mouth shut. Furthermore, the 'destiny' that lay before Hundred Shots might have greatly deviated, thanks to Zhang Yang's intervention. It remains a question if Hundred Shot would still be the one possessing that Red Dragon pet.

Right after passing the message to Zhang Yang, Hundred Shots ended the conversation with him. As a personal request from Zhang Yang, Hundred Shots had also stepped down as the commander on the front lines, especially in clearing the Hardcore Mode of the Dragon Throat Fortress. He started to avoid training with his regular party - an attempt to allow most of history to repeat its course - the course that he remembered and knew from his past life. This is to prevent Hundred Shots from being taken off track, denying him the opportunity to rise to the Hundred Shots that he remembered. By avoiding contact with him for that period of time, Hundred Shots should be able to take the same path that he had taken from before - without Zhang Yang's intervention getting in the way.

Zhang Yang went back to slaughtering up the Blood Spiders that came at him as he took them out with his [Heaven Shaker, one swing after another. Of course, Zhang Yang was entirely drenched in the venom liquid from head to toe! If he was a little shorter in height, he wouldn't be needing any makeup to disguise himself as a goblin!

Having smashed spiders mechanically for half a day, Zhang Yang was no longer keeping count. However, judging by the fact that as a level 105 player, his experience bar was now filled up to 86%, so he had to have smashed more than a hundred of them by now. Zhang Yang would probably be crossing on to the starting line of Level 106, in another 3 days of in-game time. Leveling up seems to be so difficult these days!

Just when he was sighing on, Zhang Yang caught a glimpse of an elongated shadow beneath his footsteps. The shadow began to extend into a long shadow on the wall.

He quickly turned his head around, towards the direction where the shadow came from. On both sides of the wall in the mining cave, there was a scourging torch on the walls by each section of the path. These torches were not too far away from each other, and yet not near to each other as well. With the fainting light that came from the torches nearby, Zhang Yang could vaguely see the true form of the 'thing' that lurked behind his back -- it was not a monster, but a foreign babe with blonde hair and a super hot body!

Of course, even an African player can set up their avatar in the game as a Snow White Princess. However, Zhang Yang could recognize her as a player from Europe Region, because she had an obvious annotation saying - 'Europe Region' on the top of her head!

Dusk Phoenix!

It was that little hot 'chilli' again!

Dusk Phoenix was wearing a set of leather armor that wrapped around her body tightly, exposing her sexy hot body figure completely, especially the two round and prideful 'peaks' right on her chest! That curvy body really did a splendid job of demonstrating the unique bodies that European and American women would have. With that kind of waist curvature that boomed out with a set of 'outstanding' buttocks, this woman really would harden specific parts of men by simply standing before them!

Zhang Yang could not help but to wonder. Previously, questions were raised in his mind on how Dusk Phoenix could locate him as he almost got ambushed by her. How did she actually track him down? And now, she had once again tracked him all the way down to a hidden mining cave, and located his exact location! Zhang Yang was very positive that either this woman had a way with the system, or she must have some sort of previous 'treasure' that can reveal the tracks and whereabouts of a specific player!

But one must be wondering, why would this woman reveal herself out in the open, like this? Shouldn't she be covering her tracks a little more vigilantly?

"Zhan Yu --" the moment Dusk Phoenix laid eyes upon Zhang Yang's face, she flashed her teeth viciously, and her eyes turned murderous all of a sudden.

"Hey!" Zhang Yang waved at her cheerfully as he greeted her. However, his gesture only enraged Dusk Phoenix more than ever, "So you can't get me off your mind? I'm sorry, I already have someone else in my heart! Although I would like to make my country proud by dating a foreign girl, I would like to avoid being cursed upon by the others. All I can say is, it is already too late for us to give it a try!"

Chapter 545: The Return of Dusk Phoenix

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After listening to a bunch of crap that he threw at her, Dusk Phoenix's face turned ash-white. As she was overwhelmed with shame and vexation, she shouted out loud at Zhang Yang, "Shut up!"

Zhang Yang laughed out loud, and suddenly got back to the main topic, "Out of boredom, perhaps you're just here to admire my beauty as I killed monsters?"

"You --" Dusk Phoenix was on the verge of popping her vein. Ridiculing her and blaming her for being bored right after that? Dusk Phoenix was completely pissed off! This sexy girl could not stand feeling so vulnerable before Zhang Yang. Her image of being noble and elegant would be shattered by Zhang Yang every time they happened to bump into each other! She truly felt like murdering Zhang Yang every time she looked at that goofy smile on Zhang Yang's face!

She took a deep breath in an attempt to cool herself down, and reverted back to her cool, deadly poker face, "Zhan Yu, I am going to make you squeal like a pig today, and make your face end up like one as well!" She smiled confidently as she continued to speak, "I have already switched on the recording function of the game! Your defeat shall be shown to the public, let them gaze upon your pathetic face when I step on your dead body! Let them see that the world's number one Tanker is just a pig who snorts way too much!"

It seemed as if she was extremely sure of her victory!

Zhang Yang suddenly frowned and said, "So, you are the player from Europe Region that did the quest for the Class A [Inheritance]."

Dusk Phoenix was a little shocked, but she did not deny it. "That's right! I have just recently acquired the [Blood Angel Inheritance]! So I can 'transform' myself into a 'Blood Angel'! As for you, correct me if I'm wrong, it hasn't been two days yet ever since that battle at Winst Castle. So I am sure that your {Inheritance Transformation} Skill is still under cooldown! Zhan Yu, you have been bullying me over and over again! Today will be the day things turn around!"

Oh my... what a violent girl.

Felice came forward and said, "Despicable! If you're really as good as you claim yourself to be, fight my big brother on equal grounds then!"

Dusk Phoenix did not waste her breath further as she immediately activated her {Blood Angel Transformation}. In just an instant, her body began to radiate with the colour of blood as a pair of wings spread open into the surroundings. Each of her wings were about 3 meters long. However, they seemed to be ghostly and intangible as they went right through the walls!

As her wings fluttered, her sexy hot body began to float into the air!

Zhang Yang narrowed his eyebrows a little, sensing danger!

Class C [Inheritances] like the ones that Musashi Ousama and Shuro Ousama have acquired do not provide players the ability to fly in the air. Even the Class B [Vampire Inheritance] that Fatty Han has acquired does not provide Fatty Han the ability to fly freely when he 'transforms'! In order for Fatty Han to fly, he must first activate his {Bat's Voyage} while he's in his 'transformed' form! Even then, he would only gain the ability to fly for a brief moment!

Furthermore, it drains the Energy Bar for his [Inheritance]! Also, the Skill itself had a very long cooldown!

However, Zhang Yang could fly freely in the air without any restrictions. Although he still has the disadvantage of not being able to mount onto any [Mount, he could fly freely in the air at no cost whatsoever.

Zhang Yang had actually believed that the ability to fly freely in the air was an exclusive function that only players who have Class S [Inheritances] would enjoy. Apparently, his idea was proven wrong by Dusk Phoenix. It seems that there are also some Class A [Inheritance] that provides players the flying ability! Zhang Yang was looking at it with his own eyes. As Dusk Phoenix had just entered her 'transformation' form, she should start with 0 EP value. Since that she can flying around without the need to consume any EP, it is pretty obvious that this is a special effect that she gets when she activates her {Blood Angel Transformation}!

As they were currently indoors, the outcome of this battle between Zhang Yang and Dusk Phoenix would depend on their speed! However, Dusk Phoenix was now about 10 times faster than Zhang Yang!

Dusk Phoenix would not pass on this opportunity, as she had been defeated and humiliated badly by Zhang Yang in their previous encounter. She would definitely take her sweet revenge on Zhang Yang this time, as she now had the advantage over Zhang Yang! It was going to be sweet, and she wouldn't mind it turning cold. Since the duration of her {Blood Angel Transformation} would last for 2 hours, Dusk Phoenix had plenty of time to play around with Zhang Yang!

"Zhan Yu, look closely at my attributes now!" She did it as a means of intimidating Zhang Yang as she posted her attributes onto the chat without a second thought!

[Player: Dusk Phoenix]

Level: 102

HP: 1,878,920

Defense: 1,008

Attack: Primary: 27,580 - 35,580 (Attack Interval: 2.8 seconds, DPS: 11,280), Secondary: 24,196 - 32,196 (Attack Interval: 2.5 seconds, DPS: 11,280)

Although her Attack was still no match to Zhang Yang when he activates his {God of War Transformation}, that amount of damage would be enough for her get her job done! Furthermore, Thief Class players use one-handed weapons, so it would be very normal for them not to have a high damage output. However, by adding in the damage of her secondary weapon into her total damage output, the DPS of Dusk Phoenix was nearing the amount of DPS that Zhang Yang had when he was in his {God of War Transformation} mode!

However, Zhang Yang was currently equipped with a Level 120 Mythical Tier weapon. With some quick calculations, Dusk Phoenix should only be holding two Yellow-Gold Tier weapons in each of her hands. That being said, she still had so much room for improvement in terms of her damage output when she gets her hands on higher Tiered weapons and equipment! So this was what the players are fuzzing about, the so-called 'bug' of Thief Classes!

Of course, because the attack speed of one-handed weapons are faster, they would be more easily affected by Defense, causing less effective damage on targets. However, that disadvantage could be made up for if players use Skills like {Eagle Eye}. If this woman is capable of rallying all the high Tiered players from the Europe Region to her cause, and could casually spend two [Forbidden Scrolls] without batting an eye, getting a [Skillbook: Eagle Eye] would be as easy as breathing for her!

But Class A [Inheritances] are one Class lower than Class S [Inheritances] after all. So it made perfect for a small gap between the functionality and practicality of Class A [Inheritance] and Class S [Inheritance]. Merely a 30 times multiplication for the Maximum HP, without the ability to hold a shield in hand, due to her class limitation really did reduce the intimidation that Dusk Phoenix attempted to wrought upon Zhang Yang. Without a shield that augments her with more vitality points, the total amount of HP that Dusk Phoenix did not really terrify Zhang Yang, not yet!

But the Dusk Phoenix that was standing before Zhang Yang was out of his hands!

However, Zhang Yang did not abandon hope, showing no sign of faltering at all!

-- {Glare of the Death God}!

As long as the Skill is not 'ineffective,' and it's effects begin to take place, the total HP of Dusk Phoenix would be pulled straight down to 1 point even if she has over 10,000,000 HP! In other words, when the effect of this Skill kicks in, all Zhang Yang would need to do is to give her a gentle tap in order to send her straight down to her demise.

The key to winning this battle would lie on whether Zhang Yang is able to land his attack on the agile Thief. And when he does, can he keep it up and survive long enough for him to trigger the effect of the {Glare of the Death God}? After all, there is only a 10% chance of triggering the special effects of the Skill. It would take about 10 hits. Even with Felice and Thunderhawk, and even with the summoning of his [Servant, it would still take about 3 to 4 seconds to land 10 hits on the Thief!

Furthermore, a player is not like a monster in the game. If she realizes that something is up, Dusk Phoenix can just disengage herself from the battle with her {Vanish}. Well, the special effect of the {Glare of the Death God} would only last for 5 seconds. All she needs to do is to wait it out and re-engage into battle to continue her 'crusade' -- after all, every {Inheritance Transformation} can last for 2 hours!

Hence, Zhang Yang only has one shot at this!

He looked at Dusk Phoenix, grinning sheepishly as he asked, "I have been wondering, how did you find me?"

"You wanna know?" The Phoenix held her hands against her fair chin with pride as she humphed lightly, then she said, "I ain't telling you, go ahead and bask in that frustration of never knowing!"

Zhang Yang laughed out loud at her, and suddenly lunged forward and activated {Charge} to engage himself in battle with Dusk Phoenix. He picked a suitable time to activate his {Glare of the Death God,} and it worked wondrously. A smokey shroud of a skull, dark and spooky, seeped into the black Phoenix's body. That skull then came to the top of her head and loomed over her. The scene was a little terrifying.

Zhang Yang then raised his hand and summoned [Devastator]. The servant descended from the sky and filled the entire passage. It even broke the ceiling of the cave and left a hole there! Felice and Thunderhawk went all out with their AoE attacks at the same instant -- what they were attempting to do is to trigger the special effect of the {Glare of the Death God}. So, they only focused on increasing the rate of their assaults, instead of the damage output. Both of them were spamming their skills as soon as they were able to. The {Pulverizing Flame} and the {Purple Storm Guillotine} were flashing across the battlefield for every single second. Those skills were actually being activated at every second, twice the frequency of a normal attack. Each normal attack took place every two seconds. This meant that the skills were being triggered at every second.

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

Dusk Phoenix had already received numerous attacks before she could even read the 'Negative Effect' that was cast upon her. At first, she simply smiled coldly as if nothing mattered. She was still calm, as the damage to her HP bar was still at minimal, and there was nothing for her to worry about. However, when she read the description of the {Glare of the Death God}, her face changed in an instant!

The moment that she realized she was in great danger was the moment when Felice's {Pulverizing Flame} triggered the special effect of the Skill!

In one split second, that smokey skull on top of Dusk Phoenix began to descend upon her with its dark mouth opened wide. It devoured her through it's dark and bottomless mouth! After the stream of dark light flashed through her body, Dusk Phoenix was left with only 1 point of HP!

"Argh --" the little black Phoenix was mad and terrified at the same time as she had not expected Zhang Yang to have such an ultimate trick hidden up his sleeves!

Zhang Yang laughed out loud and swung his [Heaven Shaker] at the black Phoenix's head without any sense of mercy. After all, that was not a time to have a tender heart for the fairer sex!

"You bastard!" Dusk Phoenix let out a scream. With a shoof, her body flashed with the color of blood and her HP bar suddenly recovered back to its full state! However, she was also added with an additional 'Negative Effect' -- Blood Angel's Requiem.

[Blood Angel's Requiem: Ignites the Strength of the Blood Angel, instantly recover 100% HP. However, the caster will be affected by a weakening effect where Attack is reduced by 30%, and the total amount of HP is reduced by 30%. Lasts for 2 minutes.

Her skill was like of Zhang Yang's {Radiance of the God of War}! However, the difference in between the capability of a Class S [Inheritance] and the capability of a Class A became obvious in that situation! There would be no 2-minute 'Weaken Effects' upon activating the {Radiance of God of War}!

Zhang Yang let out a long sigh.

Although her Attack had been reduced by 30% and her total amount of HP had dropped below the million mark, Dusk Phoenix was still too powerful for Zhang Yang to stand toe-to-toe! Everything that he had managed to do so far has only achieved in diminishing the power of her Classs A [Inheritance] down to the power of a Class B [Inheritance]

A wise man does not fight when the odds are against him. It's time to run!

Zhang Yang activated {Burrow] on the spot, without any hesitation. He burrowed himself straight into the solid ground and disappeared from sight.

"Argh!" Although the black Phoenix went charging towards him, she was still one step late from landing her sword on him. So she could only swing her sword across the thin air as she missed. The black Phoenix roared into the sky with rage! It was supposed to be her day to take her sweet revenge on Zhang Yang! However, she had failed to kill Zhang Yang, even after activating her {Blood Angel Transformation}. To make matters worse, she had this on live recording, and she had actually fallen short of her claim on Zhang Yang's life!

The cunning man had almost defeated her, and got away with it scot-free!

As she was enraged, Dusk Phoenix took a small transparent crystal ball out of her inventory. With a single thought from the black Phoenix, the small crystal ball began to emanate in all directions. A hologram of a map was projected out of crystal ball and displayed two blinking dots on it. One of them was a green blinking dot that stayed stationary, while the other one was a red blinking dot that was moving towards a certain direction.

If Zhang Yang could see what was going on, he would have found out about how Dusk Phoenix had been tracking him down!

"You bastard! You're not getting away!" the black Phoenix tightened her lips as she spoke, "There's still about two hours left, and I'm going to find you, and I'm going to give you a life lesson that you'll never forget!"

...

Zhang Yang was in a total hurry. He only managed to keep Felice back in his Battle Companion Slot. However, it would require a brief period of time to chat a spell in order to summon or unsummon a pet mount. Hence, Zhang Yang had to leave Thunderhawk behind for the lady Phoenix to slaughter up like a fat goose.

Fortunately for Zhang Yang, Thunderhawk was a [pet mount]. So, no matter how many 'torturous ordeals' it gets put through, or how many times it gets abandoned cruelly to a horrifying death, it would never be displeased, unlike a sentient Battle Companion. If Zhang Yang had abandoned a battle companion in such a manner, it might even turn on him in anger!

It seems that the future was full of risks!

His thoughts were still lingering on the risks that he is going to face in the future as he tunneled the ground. After all, the {Inheritance Transformation} Skill, when used at an opportune moment, would have a terrorizing effect over the players. It was just like what Zhang Yang had just gone through, without being able to use his {God of War Transformation}. Unless he can reserve his {Inheritance Transformation} Skill for an indefinite time, he would definitely have a really tough time engaging any player with an [Inheritance] that is at least Class B, or above!

Fortunately, there weren't really many players with a Class C [Inheritance] yet so far. Most of those players were using their {Inheritance Transformation} on bosses, instead of killing players like black Phoenix over there. Well, only very few players would actually do this.

After tunneling beneath the ground for about 5 to 6 minutes, Zhang Yang had finally broke through the layers of rock and arrived at the lowest floor of the mining cave. The place seemed like a typical corner of a cave. However, Zhang Yang was ambushed by one of those Blood Spider the moment he resurfaced from the rocks. He quickly summoned Felice and the two of them combined their strength to take out the spider. They took the spider out in a brief moment, without any unforeseen circumstances.

Zhang Yang did not continue his quest on slaying the Blood Spiders. After all, he was still being 'hunted'. He still had not gotten any idea to how Dusk Phoenix had managed to locate him so easily. If there is a second time around, there will surely be a third time and even a fourth time around!

The {Blood Angel Transformation} would last for 2 hours. Zhang Yang can only try to avoid detection at all costs for now.

Although Zhang Yang was not willing to admit it, the truth is always painful! The current him was no match to Dusk Phoenix at all! Zhang Yang could not help but to sigh at the fact that he had managed to take on tens of thousands of high Tier players while he was in his {God of War Transformation} form, and now, he could not even take on Dusk Phoenix while she is in her {Blood Angel Transformation} form, without his {God of War Transformation} form. That is the way the game should be after all. If one player can defeat another player with Class A [Inheritance] that has already 'transformed', the game would surely be deemed unfair -- of course, that has to exclude the usage of special Skills that depend on luck, such as (Glare of the Death God}.

No matter what the circumstances are, Zhang Yang would never flee from a battle willingly. The terrain and design of the mining cave was quite complicated. There was a complex network of roads that connected to each other in the mining cave. Furthermore, Zhang Yang deeply believed that the 'secret item' that black Phoenix had in her possession would run out of juice, sooner or later. In other words, she would not be able to track him so precisely in time to come!

As long as Zhang Yang could keep this up for another 2 hours, he would be able to change the tide of the battle the other way around. By then, it would be him who would pursue the black phoenix.

So there it began. Zhang Yang and Dusk Phoenix were both tied down in a game of 'Hide and Seek'. Zhang Yang still had the {Shadow of the Void} ready at hand. He could use the Skill twice if he ever activates his {Rearm}. Furthermore, he also had two [Magic Scrolls: Wind Walk] unused. That being said, he still had many means of escape up his sleeves, giving Dusk Phoenix a really hard time in tracking him down!

After half an hour of pursuit, Dusk Phoenix had finally caught up with Zhang Yang's pace. However, her face and the rest of her body was completely drenched in greenish vile liquid, putting her in an awkward predicament, just like it did to Zhang Yang! Evidently, she had been 'sprayed' on quite 'violently' by some Blood Spiders as she was making her way over here. Zhang Yang could not help but laughed out loud as he could already see her 'glorious' appearance from a far distance. After seeing Zhang Yang gloating at what she had been through, the little black Phoenix was so pissed off at him that she was trembling with anger.

The moment she tried to slash at Zhang Yang's throat, Zhang Yang activated his {Shadow of the Void} and sent himself into the void dimension. Then, he took advantage of the complex network of roads in the mining cave and disappeared, beyond her reach.

As expected, the 'Secret Item' that Dusk Phoenix had been using to track Zhang Yang could not be used indefinitely. The moment she lost track of Zhang Yang again, she took out the item again and attempted to activate once more. However, there were no signs of any blinking dots or indicators on the hologram map this time. The black Phoenix got so mad to the point that she screamed and stomped on the ground repeatedly.

Half an hour later ... one hour later... one and a half hour later...

Dusk Phoenix was indeed worthy of being a Thief. Her patience was admirable. There were a few times when her blade had almost sliced Zhang Yang's throat open. However, Zhang Yang had painfully forced himself to use one [Magic Scroll: Wind Walk] to escape on one occasion!

The moment 2 hours had passed, the two large, blood-red wings faded and vanished into thin air. That was the moment Zhang Yang had been waiting for. That was the moment the {Blood Angel Transformation} finally expired!

Chapter 546: The Blood Spider Queen

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Dusk Phoenix was frustrated beyond words. The moment her {Blood Angel Transformation} faded, she screamed into the sky at a deafening pitch, and then she took out a [Teleportation Scroll] and tore it apart without any hesitation. In just a while, her body radiated in a bright white light as she teleported away from the scene.

Honestly speaking, this black Phoenix walked on the path of an Assassin. She could have stayed and waited for the right moment to ambush Zhang Yang. Even though Zhang Yang was capable of doing so, it would be an extremely difficult task to detect a Thief in 'Stealth Mode'. If she times it right, she could take him out. She could have gotten the job done by using her {Ambush} on him when the right time comes!

However, her previous encounter with Zhang Yang had left her with an irrational, paranoid fear. Without the support of her {Blood Angel Transformation}, she was no longer willing to take on Zhang Yang.

The moment after she left, Zhang Yang popped himself out of a corner. It was such a pity that he did not come out a little earlier. Zhang Yang could not help but to shake his head at his own hesitation.

Just a few minutes ago, Zhang Yang was still the mouse that was trying to outrun a furious, flying cat. The moment when her {Blood Angel Transformation} expired, the tables had been turned almost immediately! Unfortunately for Zhang Yang, the black Phoenix was quick to remove herself from the mining cave, leaving no chance for Zhang Yang to retaliate!

All things considered, Zhang Yang had managed to survive the onslaughts of a Class A {Inheritance Transformation} for 2 hours. What's more, the moment the Inheritance wore off, the player had immediately retreated, having depended on its power, wholly. Well, he was lucky enough for the place to be a cave, with many places for him to hide. If they had been battling in an open ground, or a desert, it would have been wiser for Zhang Yang to use {Burrow} to gain distance from Dusk Phoenix and just escape by using a [Teleportation Scroll]!

Actually, Zhang Yang was not all too bothered about killing her in return. What he wanted to know was, how does she keep finding him!

Without the knowledge of how the black Phoenix had managed to track him again and again, made Zhang Yang slightly paranoid. It was like, someone watching him all the time like a creepy stalker. He had this feeling that if he ever lets his guard down for a split second, he would be taken out in a flash, just like that!

There was indeed a very real threat going on here!

With Dusk Phoenix's Class A {Blood Angel Transformation} possibly looming around at every corner of his journey, Zhang Yang would need to keep his own {God Of War Transformation} in reserve as a countermeasure, should she come at him full-on. If he does not do so, he would be forced to flee for his life every single time! However, saving the {God of War Transformation} solely for her would severely limit his performance in other activities.

If Dusk Phoenix ever chooses not to appear for an entire month, would he have to withhold his own 'Transformation' for the same duration? Was it worth it?

Not knowing when your enemy may strike, while realizing that every step you take is a perilous one, was not a pleasant sensation at all.

Since the situation was not amendable at the moment, Zhang Yang decided to focus on his current quest.

After calming himself down, Zhang Yang continued to move deeper into the mining cave. He slaughtered up hundreds of Blood Spiders along his way before he finally arrived at the deepest area of the mining cave. Finally, he lay his eyes upon the legendary boss!

This Blood Spider was the size of two bungalows. It was gigantic! Its eight, spearlike legs flashed and gleamed in the light. Countless bristles that stood out from its body like sharp blades sent chills down the spines of everyone who gazed upon it.

[Blood Spider Queen]

Level: 125

HP: 37,500,000

Defense: 5,200

Melee Attack: 30,157 - 34,157

Skills:

[Virulent Venom Blood: Projects venom to all targets within range, causes 30,000 Nature damage to every target and reduces the Movement Speed of the target by 50%. Lasts for 15 seconds. Instant Activation. Range: 40 meters

[Armor Piercing Skewer: Gives target a fatal strike with it's sharp legs, causing 100% Melee Attack, Piercing Damage. The target will be afflicted with [Bleed] and receive a total of 40% Attack in the form of Bleeding Damage for 15 seconds. This effect can stack by up to 5 layers. Range: Melee range.

[Spawn: Lays a row of Spider Eggs on the ground. A bunch of little spiders will spawn every 30 seconds. The number of the spiders spawned is equal to the number of players engaged in battle X 2.

[Berserk (Passive): Attack will increase by 10% for every 10 minutes in battle.

Note: This is the Blood Spider Queen. It has an unimaginably strong capability to breed. A wise warrior would rather face 100 hungry wolves than being an enemy to a Blood Spider that is undergoing its nesting season.

Upon seeing that this was a Mythical Tier boss, ZHang Yang no longer had the slightest intention of battling the boss solo. This boss seemed to be proficient in both melee and range. It was so massive that kiting seemed completely implausible!

Zhang Yang equipped his [Party Summon Order] and activated it. He summoned Sun Xi Yu, Han Ying Xue and the rest of his party of 10 over to his current location.

"Little Yang! You're my savior! You really are!" Fatty Han was crying in tears when he arrived, "Xiao Wei did not seem like a clumsy girl at all! But after guiding her for 3 days in the game, I'm going mad! I'm very grateful that you pulled me here! Or my *ss would be 'flowerishly' ravaged by arrows!"

Lost Dream was shocked to hear it as he spoke in a weird pitch, "Did you find yourself a girl, or a dominatrix...for you know...some recreational..hmm?"

"Haiyah!" Fatty Han let out an exasperated sigh again before he continued to speak, "Well, Xiao Wei became a Hunter just like I did. But the tragic thing about it, is that she doesn't even know how to choose a target! She had already penetrated my *ss multiple times, more like a hundred times in just three days! If her level was not that low, I might have been killed many times over already!"

"Noob tank, looks like you have found yourself a big boss!" Wei Yan Er looked at the boss with gleaming eyes. Tightening her grip on the handle of her battle axe, she asked, "You must drop a Mythical Tier Axe for me, or I'm gonna bite you and shred you into pieces!"

There were as many as eight entry-level maps in the Chaos Realm. Although maps like Tibanya Wasteland were the more basic of maps with a level gap ranging from 100 to 130, it was already far larger than anything the players had ever encountered, pre-Chaos Realms! Many high leveled Mythical Tiered bosses roamed all over the maps, but without any lead from any quests whatsoever, it would still be like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Therefore, everyone was excited to see a Mythical Tier boss standing right in front of their eyes!

According to the rules of the Chaos Realms, every epic equipment dropped from a boss would have a Special Effect that reduces the Required levels of equipping by 20 levels. If a boss happens to be level 125 and drops a level 120 equipment, players would already be able to equip them when they reach level 100. That would grant players an early headstart!

That was also one of the many reasons Zhang Yang had gathered all of his core members of Lone Desert Smoke and set them on the task of clearing the Hardcore Mode of the Dragon Throat Fortress, as he focused on finding and slaying Open-World bosses at the same time! After equipping a set of Level 120 Mythical Tier equipment, players could really make up for most of the difficulties, oppressing a Level 110 Violet-Platinum boss with high level equipment.

"Everyone! Stay in position! We're about to cut open this boss!" Zhang Yang shouted out loud to his party members.

"There must be an Axe! Give me an Axe!" Wei Yan Er was repeatedly wishing for an axe.

Zhang Yang could not help but to laugh at her. Then, he began to charge towards the boss.

{Spear of Obliteration}!

'-28992!'

With the little brat's {Strength Aura} that added 12% Strength to everyone within its effective range, Zhang Yang had gained quite a boost. His normal attacks could almost cause up to 30,000 damage! His {Spear of Obliteration} went straight through the Defense of the boss and caused a substantial amount of damage to it!

Zhang Yang no longer need to keep count on how much aggro each of his Skills could score for him. His damage output topped over every single one of his party members at the moment. His current damage output was even higher than the sum of both Wei Yan Er and Sun Xin Yu's damage output! He definitely had the aggro that a tank would need!

"I hate you! Noob tank! How could you snatch the Class S [Inheritance] from me! It was supposed to be mine!" Wei Yan Er could not help herself anymore as she began to wail. Every single Class S [Inheritance] was unique, and only one person could have it. So, the little brat no longer stood a chance to acquire the [God of War Inheritance]!

"Haha! Now, now. Calm down. The Class A [Inheritances] are actually more powerful than you think. The power they can give can actually be almost as powerful as the Class S [Inheritance]. You know, almost!" Zhang Yang quickly tried to calm the little brat. Well, you would never know what kind of frightening things Wei Yan Er would actually do when she goes crazy!

"Chi! Ji ji ji!" The Blood Spider Queen stuck up its butt all of a sudden. Then it began to shoot 23 poison projectiles of venom towards the gang. This was a boss after all. The venom spatted out was very different from those of the elite Tier Blood Spiders. It wasn't green in color, instead, it was the color of blood! The goo-ish venom was sprayed onto the gang as it caused 30,000 basic damage to each of them. The venom had also reduced the movement speed of the gang, Felice and that annoying whiner of a Battle Companion.

This was the boss's {Virulent Venom Blood}!

The boss was already going all out from the beginning!

Han Ying Xue and Fantasy Sweetheart quickly took up their staffs and began getting to work. However, their healing targets were not just the 10 of them, there was also everyone's Battle Companions and the Pets of Zhang Yang, Fatty Han and Hundred Shots! So, they had to focus on healing a total of 23 targets! The stress was tremendous!

Fortunately, the Battle Companions of Endless Starlight and Lost Dream belonged to the Healer category. They could heal themselves up and give some healing support to everyone as well. Their support had also lifted some weight off the shoulders of the two Healers. Furthermore, the Healers had decisively given up on some of the not-so-effective Battle Companions in the battle. The Hunters could also heal up their own pets. Therefore, after some adjustment over the chaotic situation, the Healers finally healed up the HP of the entire party.

Just when the two ladies thought they could take a step back and catch their breaths, the boss stuck up its butt again! It's the 23 projectiles of dark-red goo-ish venom, once again! Everyone suffered a high value of damage, and their HP bars were reduced sharply, again!

Zhang Yang quickly said, "Everyone with ranged attacks, get 40 meters away from the boss! We shall take turns to attack! Into formation!"

It was impossible for the two ladies to be focused on healing Zhang Yang and the rest of the party, Zhang Yang knew that he had to lighten the load for the Healers. Zhang Yang had arranged the party to be split into smaller groups in order for the Healing to be manageable.

The attacks of the Blood Spider Queen were terrifying and violent. Its normal attacks could cause up to 32,000 damage! Fortunately for Zhang Yang, he was no longer the Zhang Yang of old. With his {God of War Shield} adding 20% Passive Damage Immunity, the attack of the boss could only cause about 15,000 damage on Zhang Yang. Practically speaking, the normal attacks of the boss could only cause about 5,000 damage to Zhang Yang per second, thanks to the regular usage of his [Block]!

However, this gigantic spider had a wide array of skills! Its {Virulent Venom Blood} was basically activated once every 10 seconds. Although the boss did not really use its {Armor Piercing Skewer} that often, but the gang could not risk underestimating the amount of damage that particular Skill was capable of! After all, that one Skill could deal about 8,000 damage in every passing second!

If Zhang Yang was the only one that Han Ying Xue and Fantasy Sweetheart needed to heal, the two ladies would definitely prevail in their role, even after the healing efficiency of Healers had been nerfed by the developers. Their equipment was powerful enough, and their special Skills allowed them to heal more efficiently and effectively. However, the boss did not just focus it's attacks on Zhang Yang. The {Virulent Venom Blood} of the boss was an AoE Skill. Every time the boss activates that Skill, everyone within the Skill's effective range would suffer. The two ladies had their heads scourged as they were busy maintaining the HP bars of the party members. They were the most exhausted of all players in the party!

"Wah! I'm going to remove my Class and retrain another one! I don't want to be a Healer anymore!" Han Ying Xue was flustered.

Zhang Yang laughed out loud at her and said, "It would be such a shame for you to quit as a Healer! Look the 'capacity' of your udders!"

"Bus Tart!" Han Ying Xue rolled her eyes at Zhang Yang. She mouthed something in silence, glaring at Zhang Yang. Only Zhang Yang saw what she 'said', "You're not getting any sleep tonight!"

Pak pak pak!

The moment the HP bar of the boss was reduced down to 20%, the Blood Spider Queen turned its back on Zhang Yang and went on to produce a long row of white, egg-like objects across the ground. Each of those objects were about half the size of a regular human! The eggs twitched about, as if they were alive.

Chapter 547: Abominating Guillotine Axe

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

There were at least a thousand of these white spider eggs being spawned. These eggs had occupied almost half of the cave, leaving almost no room to step on, in that area. The place became disgustingly white, and most people would feel chills up their spines. The scene before Zhang Yang and the gang was really creepy!

As Endless Starlight was not required to channel Damage Output or tank the boss as a secondary Tanker, he was chilling at a spot that was more than 40 meters away from the boss. After seeing so many eggs, he could not help himself but to exclaim in great fear, "What the f*ck! This boss is such a strong breeder!"

"Well, she deserves to be awarded with the title 'Mother Heroine(1)'!" Daffodil Daydream giggled.

Wei Yan Er could not understand the meaning of it, as she began to widen her eyes and blink them for awhile, then she asked, "Why so?"

"Once upon a time in a certain country, too many people died from serving their country against a war. Therefore, the government decided to encourage women to bear more children. If a woman can bear at least 10 children, the government will award the mother with a silver medal and also the title of 'Mother Heroine'!" Daffodil Daydream tried to explain it to the little brat.

"Women are not pigs! It's not right for women to bear so many children in one life!" Fantasy Sweetheart was definitely not on the same page with the term 'Mother Heroine'.

"I would only bear one! At most!" Han Ying Xue showed one of her fingers, "Rumor says that it is extremely painful when women are giving birth to a child. If I have to bear that kind of pain, once is more than enough!"

Zhang Yang laughed out loud and he said, "If every woman is only willing to give birth to one child, then humans would be extinct sooner than you would know!"

That was the simplest maths of all time. If two becomes one, the numbers would be halved every time.

"But, even if 'Mother Heroine' can give birth to 10 children, she would be just a pile of junk, dealing only 5 damage, when she is compared to this boss!"

"Hehe, this boss is undoubtedly the best breeder in the entire game!"

Just as the gang was happily talking on a ridiculous topic, 20 white spider eggs suddenly burst open! Small little Blood Spiders were crawling out from each of the spider eggs. They were only about the size of a human fist. However, the spiders were still too huge too be considered normal!

[Newborn Blood Spider] (Normal, Beast)

Level: 120

HP: 19,200

Defense: 100

Melee Attack: 5,570 - 6,570

Skills:

[Web Bind: Traps the legs of the target with extremely sticky spider webs, the target will not be able to move at all. Last for 15 seconds.

Note: They are newborn spiders! They need to feed! "Tasty flesh and blood, where are you!"

The moment when these spiders appeared, they began to scatter into the surroundings, moving around with their eight legs irregularly fast! After a brief moment, they had set their targets upon Han Ying Xue!

When these baby spiders first spawned, they would have no aggro targets. As no one was causing any damage to any of them, these spiders did not have any 'sense' of purpose on whom to attack first. Furthermore, there were no Tankers attempting to get their aggro either. Therefore, Han Ying Xue and Fantasy Sweetheart both became their targets, as the two ladies were very focused in healing. Han Ying Xue became their primary target, as she was healing at the rate greater then any healer in the battlefield at the moment.

Without the need for Zhang Yang to shout out, Endless Starlight had already stood between Han Ying Xue and the hordes of baby spiders. He quickly cast his {Devotion} right before the spiders could reach him. Upon the activation of the Skill, bright golden light was shed upon the ground 10-meter across the surroundings. The golden light radiated faintly on the ground.

When the baby spiders stepped right into the effective range of the {Devotion}, every single one of them began to receive damage in every passing second. With that happening, their aggro were switched straight onto Endless Starlight. The spiders turned their fangs towards him and began to leap at him.

If normal Tiered monsters had the advantage in their numbers, they could be quite troublesome for DPS players and Healers to deal with. However, if they ever encounter a Tanker with extremely good equipment, then everything would be omitted! These baby spiders could only deal more than a hundred of damage on Endless Starlight. However, as they were small in size, they could all attack Endless Starlight at the same time. Be it small, overtime, it would be of a fatal cause.

The gang members who were taking their turns resting at the sidelines, and the idle Battle Companions immediately came forward and launched their assaults on the 20 baby spiders, They tried to keep the spiders rounded up so that they could exterminate the spiders more efficiently. The boss's Skill description had stated it out clearly, that a new bunch of baby spiders would be spawned every 30 seconds. If they do could not exterminate them as soon as possible, their number would stack up indefinitely! When their number reaches a certain amount, the situation would become uncontrollable, causing the entire party to be wiped up in an instant.

These baby spiders had less than 20,000HP. In under 20 seconds, the baby spiders were wiped out after they were boxed in by the gang. However, the boss was enraged, and it began to stab its sharp legs at Zhang Yang repeatedly! The stabbings left marks of large holes all over the surface of Zhang Yang's shield, causing the shield to look like a crippled umbrella, riddled with a thousand wounds. The durability of Zhang Yang's shield was reduced steeply right after that series of attacks!

Zhang Yang had no choice but to endure it. He shook his head again and again as he recalled his proud moment of acquiring this [Titan Wall] from the lucky draw, back in Shang Hai. But now, Violet-Platinum Tier equipment were on the brink of being phased out by Mythical Tier equipment. It made perfect sense for this Level 80 Violet-Platinum [Titan Wall] to falter in the face of a Level 120 Mythical Boss!

Zhang Yang was swinging his [Heaven Shaker] at the boss, whacking it as hard as possible while he shouted at his gang, "Everyone, quickly! The boss is gaining an additional 10% boost on it's Attack power once in every 10 minutes! I can still hold the boss here, but the AoE Skill {Virulent Venom Blood} is still an undeniable threat to all of us!"

"Alright!"

Everyone adjusted their tactics a little. Sun Xin Yu, Lost Dream, Wei Yan Er and Daffodil Daydream were in charge of channeling the damage output on the boss, while Hundred Shots and Fatty Han were in charge on wiping out all the baby spiders that spawn throughout the boss battle. It's not because Hunters could not do real damage to the boss, they were arranged in such a formation because the Hunters were ranged attackers. They could just stay 60 meters away from the boss while killing the baby spiders without having to worry about the {Virulent Venom Blood}. That would really lighten the load on the two Healers.

Among all Battle Companions, Zhang Yang's Felice, Sun Xin Yu's Ankh the Assassin, and Wei Yan Er's The Artist, Reina had the most powerful DPS. Therefore, they were assigned to attack the boss. Meanwhile, Messick the whiner was 'coaching' the baby spiders with Endless Starlight.

Well, no doubt that this annoying whiner was really a pain in the *ss. Even the monsters did not seem to like him. All he did was to say something unpleasant at the monsters, and half of the baby spiders would leap towards him in a frenzy! Messick was more than capable of getting the monsters' aggro over to himself!

At the moment, Zhang Yang and the 4 powerful DPS players were being supported by three powerful Battle Companions and his Thunderhawk. Their total DPS had reached up to 85,000 damage! Even though the Blood Spider King had over 37,500,000 HP, it would only take about 8 minutes for that kind of DPS to empty out that amount of HP.

The party could perform so efficiently, mainly because of Zhang Yang. After all, he was swinging about a Level 120 Mythical Tier weapon, and he also possessed the [God of War Inheritance] that provided him with an additional 50% increment in his Attacks. His DPS alone had already reached up to a total of 27,000 damage!

With about 10,000 damage in each passing second coming from Felice and Thunderhawk, Zhang Yang could channel out about 47,000 damage in every second! His DPS was actually much higher than the DPS of all the others combined!

Fatty Han could not help it but to feel shocked, then he said, "In any case, I'm also a player with a Class B [Inheritance]. Why is the difference between the power level of me and little Yang so much?"

"Well, try switching to a Level 120 Mythical Tier ranged weapon, and switch all your pets and your battle companion to Mythical Tiers as well. By then, you should be able to reach 10% of my full power!" Zhang Yang laughed out loud.

"F*ck off! I'm a real DPS as well, okay!" Fatty Han was unwilling to admit the fact. If his {Vampire Transformation} was no longer under its cooldown period, Fatty Han would have tried to take on the boss all alone -- of course, even then, against a Mythical Tier boss, a Class B Inheritance might waver. Furthermore, Fatty Han was not a Tanker. Even after activating his {Inheritance Transformation} Skill, his Maximum HP and Defense would not be as ridiculously high as Zhang Yang's {God of War Form}.

The gang was used to working together. Zhang Yang was holding the boss back while Endless Starlight was holding against the monsters in the surroundings. Two Healers were supporting them as much as they were able to. Meanwhile, the DPS players were not willing to give in to Zhang Yang's damage output, so they were also trying their very best to raise their maximum damage output!

However, upon acquiring the [God of War Inheritance, Zhang Yang could equip a two-handed weapon. He was now an anomaly. He was basically a Tanker and a DPS player at the same time! Meanwhile, with the additional boost of his Attack power because of the [Inheritance, Zhang Yang was now an ultimate source of DPS!

After bringing down the HP bar of the boss down to 12%, Zhang Yang activated his {Glare of the Death God} on the boss. However, it was a tragic attempt, as if failed to take effect.

Fatty Han was patting his chest in relief, realizing how lucky they had been when they were fighting the Vampire boss back then. If the rate of 'Resist' on that boss was as high as it is on this boss, Fatty Han would have needed to wait until the other gang members reached Level 120 before they could challenge Vampire Count Ferra. He would have to wait until then to get his [Vampire Inheritance].

Or, they could just do what the players from Europe Region did. They could just send tens of thousands of players and use a few [Forbidden Scrolls] to slay the boss.

Well, it did not matter if the special effect of the {Glare of the Death God} did not trigger. Activating the {Glare of the Death God} would be like adding icing onto a cake, after all. At their current rate of DPS, they could just take the boss out in within a minute.

"Chi! Ji ji ji --" When the last drop of the boss's HP bar was taken out, the gigantic Blood Spider King instantly turned upside down, with its belly on the top, facing the sky, its legs curled up. A number of loot dropped beside the dead body of the gigantic spider. Wei Yan Er cheered as she ran straight towards the loot to take a look at them.

The following session was, of course, the happiest moment for them all. Everyone followed the little brat closer to the loot to take a closer look. Therefore, it did not really matter if the boss resisted the Skill, or not.

The boss dropped a total of 4 pieces of equipment. One was an axe that flashed so brilliantly that it would send chills up people's spines when they laid eyes on it. The other one was a dark piece of leather armor. There was also a gray colored necklace and an old-school shield. Other than that, the boss had also dropped two [Middle-tier Aura Stones]!

"Haha! My prayers have been answered! There really is an axe among the loots!" Wei Yan Er picked up the axe with excitement.

Special: Reduce 20 Levels from the Required Level.

Zhang Yang teased the little brat on purpose as he said, "Yo. This is really not bad at all! I can use two-handed weapons as well now, this weapon really suits me!"

"No way! You cannot go back on your own words! I even let you have the [Heaven Shaker] last time! How can you be so shameless! Snatching a child's toy! You are such a mean, despicable, shameless bastard!" Wei Yan Er grabbed on to the axe as she held it in her arms as tightly as possible. She seemed to be worried that Zhang Yang might take it from her by force.

Zhang Yang could not help himself but to frown. He should have well prepared the moment when he decided to pull the little brat's leg. As the little girl's laughing standard was really low, and she was also extremely naive, this little brat would actually take jokes seriously!
