Chapter 548: Breaking the Second Seal

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Without a doubt, the axe was Wei Yan Er's. She finally had a weapon befitting of her strength. The axe was just as powerful as Zhang Yang's weapon. When a Warrior equips an axe, the character's class passive skill Axe Mastery would provide an additional 5% Critical rate and damage. Even though it was not as strong as the God of War Inheritance 50% damage boost, Wei Yan Er was now strong enough to act as Lone Desert Smoke's top Berserker, one who would not be dwarfed by Zhang Yang.

The little girl had stopped picking up loot as she was too far gone in her own world with the axe. Han Ying Xue sighed and went over to take over the role. Firstly, she picked up a grayish white necklace. Expecting it to be made of pearl, the witch examined the necklace closer and sulked in disgust after discovering it was made of tiny skulls. The woman did not have such a heavy metal taste.

[Skeletal Necklace] (Violet-Platinum, Necklace)

Vitality: 212

Strength: 137

Dexterity: 137

Equip: Increases healing rate and damage by 2.1%

Equip: Increases 420 Maximum HP.

Use: Induces a crippling fear to a target, causing the target to run amok! Target will be disarmed. Lasts for 8 seconds. Instant cast. Cooldown: 1 Hour.

{Unidentified}

Level Requirement: 120

Note: Made from the bones of an unborn child. A curse necklaces.

"Urgh…This is bad…" said Zhang Yang after he examined the necklace. "Tell you what though, we should put this in the guild storage and let the newbies drool over it."

The flavor text aside, it was a rather strong necklace. The last effect could force an opponent to stop attacking instantly. It would be extremely useful for PvP fights. After the Japan-Korea Region war, a portion of "borrowed" players had quietly remained in the guild.

Besides having friends in the game, players would want to join a strong guild! However, what defines a strong guild? Generally, players would judge a guild by their capabilities in raiding bosses, which in extension, grants them access to strong equipment! Hence, Zhang Yang had placed many of the strong equipment in the guild storage to let the newbies drool over them. In a way, it would encourage the guild members to farm for more contribution points. The points can be used to level up the guild and allow them to exchange points for equipment! No transactions in the guild involved gold coins. The guild members were all accustomed to using guild contribution points in order to obtain equipment and potions. Since there were no gold coin transactions in the guild, most competition between the guild members were of a friendly nature. It would be of great advantage to increase the overall guild morale and the bonds between the members.

Han Ying Xue proceeded to pick up another equipment. She lifted a black shirt and examined it. Zhang Yang sighed and said, "Why could you not pick the shield first? Why must you raise my hopes high and crush them?!"

The witch smirked and dropped the shirt to pick up the shield. "I want to leave the best for last. You know, to give you a sense of excitement! Teehee~"

The shield was a triangular shaped kite shield with an edge as sharp as a blade. It would be a weapon strong enough to rival a hammer! The entire shield had a green surface and a had the emblazoned figure of a dwarven warrior wielding a hammer and a shield on it.

[Vera's Edged Shield] (Mythical, Shield)

Defense: 3,024

Vitality: 2,963

Equip: Absorbs 1,075 damage on attack.

Equip: Increases 6,000 Maximum HP.

Use: Toss the shield at a target to slice it apart. Reduce 1,000 Defense points from a target. Lasts for 1 minute. Instant cast. Range: 30 meters. Cooldown: 10 minutes.

{Unidentified}

Level Requirement: 120

Special: Level Requirement lowered by 20 Levels.

Note: Crafted by the great dwarven smith, Vera Copperhammer

By its stats alone, the shield had to be one of the best Level 120 Mythical tier equipment around. The active skill of the skill was rather strong, even though 1,000 Defense was not much. It was almost the same as {Cripple Defense}. Any lower, and it would be useless since it reduced defense by a fixed value.

"Woah," cried Endless Starlight as he drooled over the shield. However, since Zhang Yang was present and had done most of the work, Endless Starlight was smart enough to keep his wants to himself.

Zhang Yang knew that and purposely chose to give the shield to Endless Starlight instead. He then tossed the shield to him and said, "Starlight, I have many Mythical tier equipment for myself. Perhaps it's time for you to get some as well."

"Thank you, sir! Thank you very much!" cried Endless Starlight with tears in his eyes.

The guy was the main tank in the exploration party of the Dragon Throat Fortress. While Zhang Yang could not spend time raiding dungeons, he would need to give a pass on some great loot to ensure that Endless Starlight gets stronger in order to defeat the Hardcore mode of the dungeon. He was already an overwhelmingly powerful tank, but had the usual shortcomings in terms of offense. This shield would help him slightly.

"Hah! Not bad! Boy! Endless Starlight has become a strong tank with the shield!" said Fatty Han.

It was true. Endless Starlight's shield was only a Level 100 Violet-Platinum tier with only 1,680 Vitality points. On the other hand, the new Edged Shield had boosted his Vitality points to over 4,200 points. The shield had given him more than 8,000 over HP, bringing his maximum HP to over 30,000 HP. This would turn him into a more complete tank, increasing all his attributes.

Now, Endless Starlight had joined Wei Yan Er in the corner, indulging in their own world.

Han Ying Xue picked up the last item and examined it.

[Black Bull's Chest Plate] (Violet-Platinum, Leather Armor, Battle Companion Only)

Defense: 48

Vitality: 1,210

Strength: 346

Dexterity: 783

Level Requirement: 120

It was an equipment specially for Battle Companions. Since Felice's armors were all Mythical tier, Zhang Yang was the first one to select Pass. On the other hand, Messick – Han Ying Xue's Battle Companion had already started off as Violet-Platinum tier. When he reaches Level 120, all his equipment would automatically be upgraded to Level 120 as well. Hence, there was no need for him to take the chest plate. Then again, the big pervert is a tank. Giving him leather armor wouldn't be the wisest of choices.

In the end, the leather armor was taken by Sun Xin Yu. Even though Ankh had an extremely strong Dexterity growth rate, she was a Gray-Silver tier and required the help of stronger tiered equipment. Still, it was a little too early, since the equipment could only be equipped at Level 120. On the other hand, the officials had released information about the Dragon Throat Fortress.

Starting from the 6th to the 10th boss, there would be Battle Companion equipment drops. Coincidentally, the Hardcore mode of that dungeon would drop Level 100 Violet-Platinum equipment. Hence, it was considered to be a haven for Battle Companion equipment farmers.

After distributing the last two [Amateur Aura Stones] there was no more loot on the ground. The [Aura Stones] were given to Sun Xin Yu and Han Ying Xue, and both of them immediately used the stones to upgrade their Aura level to Level 6. Han Ying Xue could provide an 18% extra healing rate, and the other Aura increased the Critical rate of the party by 6%.

Once the quest was dealt with, everyone left the place, leaving Zhang Yang alone to run out of the cave by himself. Zhang Yang leaped on the Thunderhawk and flew out of the Red Skinned Orc Camp and submitted the quest to acquire the Light of Miracle. With the Light of Miracle in hand, Zhang Yang could finally complete the seal breaking quest.

Zhang Yang came to Roger Kluge. Hellscream and confronted the old orc. The orc had once again praised Zhang Yang for having orcs blood flowing in his bloodstream for being strong and brave.

Sadly, the quest's rewards limited him to pick only one out of the four. Naturally, Zhang Yang picked the Light of Miracle instead of the other three rewards. The three rewards were Level 100 Violet-Platinum Cloth, Leather, and Heavy Metal armor. At the current stage of the game, those armors would still fetch up a good price on the market.

Zhang Yang had not yet built a Teleportation point in Morning town, hence, he used the Territory Baron's teleportation skill to return to Tukula Fortress and headed to Pandemonium dungeon.

At his current strength, challenging the Hardcore mode of the Pandemonium was a walk in the park. With haste, Zhang Yang defeated the stone giant and talked to Margery the NPC.

"Young man! You have kept me waiting!" cried Margery with a disgruntled look. "Hmph. Adventurers in this generations sure take it easy! Adventurers back in my day would have taken10 days to gather all three materials!"

'Ding! You have completed the quest: Breaking the Second Seal. Obtained 10,000,000 Experience Points!'

After complaining on and on, eventually, Margery took the sword from him with a huff. She then placed the sword on a table and started to chant random gibberish. No sooner later, the sword glowed with an intense radiance which took 4 to 5 minutes to slowly fade away.

[Sword of Purging Devourer, The Ancient Mystery] (Mythical, One-Handed Sword)

Weapon Attack: 4,438 – 5,238

Attack Interval: 2.8 seconds.

DPS: 1,728

{Level 4 Socket 1}

{Level 4 Socket 2}

Equip: Increases 20% damage.

Equip: Increases 5% Critical rate.

Equip: Grants a 3% chance to repeat the same attack to continue to attack the target.

Special: Consumes another weapon's special effect.

Special: Level Requirement lowered by 20 levels.

Level Requirement: 120

Note: The second seals has been broken.

Bound

3%? 3% attack echo effect (1)?

Zhang Yang eyes widened with great interest. Before the second seal was undone, the sword had only a 2% chance of repeating the same attack! Perhaps…could it...after unsealing more seals, the special effect on the weapon will be strengthened!?

Zhang Yang took out a Two-Handed Weapon which he had already prepared for this occasion from a while back. Even though the weapon was a Yellow-Gold tier, it had a special effect of inflicting a stun effect on a target for 10 seconds. The sword's equipment consuming effect targets the equipment's special effect, and not the equipment tier.

'You have activated the Sword of Purging Devourer special effect. Please choose the weapon to be consumed. Be advised, the weapon that will be consumed must belong to you. The weapon will be destroyed.'

Zhang Yang held up the Yellow-Gold Two-Handed Hammer and selected it to be consumed.

' You have chosen Octagonal Stone Hammer as your weapon to be consumed. The Sword of Purging Devourer will obtain the special effect: Grant a chance to stun a target for 10 seconds on attack. Be advised, the Octagonal Stone Hammer will be destroyed in the process. The weapon of choice is a Two-Handed Weapon. During the process of consumption, the Sword of Purging Devourer will have 20% chance of becoming a Two-Handed Sword. Will you proceed?'

Hell yea!

Zhang Yang was happy. Even though 20% was low, there was still a possibility that it could be stronger! Furthermore, even though the sword does not morph into a Two-Handed Sword, he still had the Heaven's Shaker as his backup plan. That was the reason why he had not chosen the Heaven Shaker as a sacrifice for the sword.

Proceed!

Shrring!

A bright light radiated out of the sword. The Octagonal Stone Hammer started to crumble into fine particles, and the Sword of Purging Devourer started growing in length. Eventually, the sword's blade and the hilt had grown to a point where it couldn't possibly be a One-Handed Sword!

[Sword of Purging Devourer] (Mythical, Two-Handed Sword)

Weapon Attack: 7,400 – 9,672

Attack Interval: 3.8 seconds.

DPS: 2,246

{Level 4 Socket 1}

{Level 4 Socket 2}

Equip: Increases 20% damage.

Equip: Increases 5% Critical rate.

Equip: Grants a 3% chance to repeat the same attack and continue to attack the target.

Equip: Grants a fixed chance to stun a target for 10 seconds on attack. Success rate will be lowered on a boss monster.

Level Requirement: 120

Special: Level Requirement lowered by 20 Levels.

Note: Second Seal has been broken.

Bound

Honestly, Zhang Yang thought that using a Two-Handed Hammer and a Two-Handed Sword would not make a difference since both weapon types could not activate the Axe Mastery. However, the Sword of Purging Devourer was much stronger due to its effect. Repeating the same attack over and over in a mass monster killing session would be OP as f*ck! What would it be when Zhang Yang activates his God of War Transformation skill…?

"There's one more seal," said Margery. "The last seal has a strong power embedded in it. I would need stronger materials to unseal it. Warrior, do you want to proceed?"

'Ding! Margery has a quest for you: Breaking the Third Seal. Will you accept it?'

Accept!

Zhang Yang returned to White Jade Castle after the quest and socketed [Level 4 Strength Gemstones] into the sword. He then asked Han Ying Xue for Rune Stones and gave the sword a Vampiric Lifesteal effect. After having his sword upgraded in all possible ways, Zhang Yang left the castle to complete the messenger quest.

He had already sent out 23 letters in total and still have 67 more to go to trigger the Legendary tier Main Story Quest. In his previous life, he had joined the game a little too late. When the Legendary Quest was already in progress, he was still grinding in the Level 20 maps. It's understandable for him to not know anything about it.

In this life, he will be the one triggering the Legendary tier Main Story Quest!

However, every single time when he tries to dive into the 'zone' and focus on something, he was bound to be distracted! This time, Wei Yan Er had returned to his villa and had brought along Zhao Bin, Zhao Yu, and Zhao Xue.

The situation was as follows, the University of Zhou Su had a rule whereby all students must be able to swim within the four years of their tertiary studies. Failure to do so would result in failing the course. It was opposed by many but was eventually accepted. After all, learning to swim was a lifelong skill. Being able to swim was a skill that would save one's own life. It could actually be quite enjoyable! However, when the university made it compulsory for students to do so, it becomes rather unenjoyable.

The Zhao sisters were all rocks who would sink into the water. Wei Yan Er was no better. In fact, she would only dare to enter the pool with a floater nearby. Hence, all four of them had decided to spend the summer learning how to swim! Even though there were many public swimming pools, the girls dared not enter such places there the hygiene was questionable. Especially when new swimmers would surely be gulping more water down than swimming!

Eventually, after some slight persuasion, everyone managed to obtain permission to use the swimming pool in Zhang Yang's villa.

Chapter 549: The Bliss in the Pool

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The four floating driftwoods had no instructors with them, hence, Zhang Yang was unfortunately dragged to the pool and was forced to teach them how to swim.

The pool was situated indoors. Even though there was air conditioning inside the complex, it would never be the same as breathing the natural air of summer.

Han Ying Xue and Daffodil Daydream were distracted by the noises that the little girls made and decided to join the fray and have some fun in the water. After everyone had gotten into their swimsuits, Zhang Yang felt a great sense of bliss in the pool.

Han Ying Xue had the most smexy, bootylicious body among all the girls. In fact, she was the only one who could pull off the string bikini look. She came to the pool, wearing only thin, skimpy pieces of latex that revealed close to 95% of her skin. Two tiny patches of material covered her pointy peaks, while the straps that were supposed support the melons had completely failed at their job. When she moved, her redonculous melons jiggled up and down, left and right, making Zhang Yang's blood pump up to a dangerous level. While her top was completely "defenseless", her bottom half was much worse. Her thong was so small that only her important bush was covered, while the rest of her butt was exposed for the world to witness. Gazing at her back alone, Zhang Yang would have thought that she was completely naked, the strings were barely visible. If he wanted to, he could plunge his hands into her cleavage and bury himself in her lushness. She had the longest, fairest pair of legs around, that matched her supple arse. Zhang Yang was not alone, being lost in a dreamy land, in fact, the other five girls present in the pool were unable to avert their admiring gazes away from her body.

In contrast to that, Daffodil Daydream seemed rather ordinary. Even though she had the perfect curves on her body at all the right places, she was overshadowed by the presence of Han Ying Xue. She had C-cup sized busts, which was considered to be rare enough among Asians. While her front lost greatly to Han Ying Xue, the one factor that made her rather attractive was her arse. She had smooth and bouncy buns that were shaped in the outline of a nice peach. Han Ying Xue loved to teased the girl so much that she would occasionally smack her bum lightly, making them bounce like jello. Zhang Yang could not help but start imagining himself taking her from behind. The sensation and the image of her buns shaking as he penetrates her from behind was extremely lewd.

What a "torture"!

Zhang Yang averted his gaze away from the two matured ladies and landed on the triplets. All of them were too similar to each other. Like carbon copies, it was extremely hard for him to differentiate one from another. Since they had yet to fully mature into full-fledged women, they had bodies that radiated with youth. Still, they were curvy and rather slim. Their lumps were filled with the right amount of joy and had yet to succumb to the harsh effects of gravity. All three of them shared the same look. Thrice the delight!

Five ladies in swimsuits, splashing about in a pool, was truly a scene that every man would want to wake up to.

On the other hand, Wei Yan Er was just sad to even look at. She was completely extinguished by the presence of all the other jewels. Bust? Zero. Buns? Zero. The only redeeming factor she had was her beautiful, young face. Zhang Yang sighed when he noticed that her chest seemed to have a bulge in them, and poked at them with his fingers.

"HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" The little girl shouted, covering her chest.

Zhang Yang laughed. "What are you shouting at? Worry not, I will never fall for your skeletal looks. Now, tell me honestly, did you stuff something in that swimsuit? I believed you did because that bulge has never been there before."

Wei Yan Er lowered her head and sulked disgruntledly. She then slipped her hands in and pulled out two pieces of sponge. Immediately after that, her chest flattened and Wei Yan Er returned to being a flat piece of wood.

Han Ying Xue had been holding back for the sake of Wei Yan Er. After watching her remove the makeshift "pads", she laughed on and on. Wei Yan Er was so furious that she lunged at Han Ying Xue grabbing hold of her badonkers, tugging them into the water. She had tugged with such force that the rest of Hang Yin Xue followed down, including her head. Han Ying Xue was not a swimmer, and so, when her head was submerged underwater, she struggled frantically while crying for help.

The pool was only 1 meter and 20 centimeters deep. Anyone could stand upright easily. However, if one is a poor swimmer, it would be a natural response for them to panic.

Zhang Yang rushed over quickly. Before he could lift her up, she had already grabbed onto the nearest and most prominent thing to her, which was his dong. The b*tch…could she not grab something that matters so much to him!? At least grab it with more care! You use it too, mind you!

Zhang Yang then wrenched her out of the water and princess-carried her above the water surface.

Huffing and puffing as she tried to catch her breath, the woman then glared angrily at the little girl and screamed at her. "You stupid little girl! You could have drowned me!"

"HAAHAH!" The little girl laughed away as she floated away with the floaters around her arms, and played with the Zhao sisters.

Now that Wei Yan Er had left Han Ying Xue, Zhang Yang could help but to feast his eyes upon Han Ying Xue's chest. As the water waves flowed over and off her body, her chest floated about accordingly. The sight of it, and the sensation of Han Ying Xue's graceful hands still gripping onto his flag pole, started sending blood rushing to a certain place!

Han Ying Xue was beginning to relax in his arms, but her expression changed when she felt the thing in her hand getting hard and stiff. At first, when she was drowning, she had genuinely grabbed onto Zhang Yang Jr by accident. She had been in bed, entwined, conjoined with Zhang Yang for many nights now, she would not have made a careless mistake like that intentionally.

The little minx just loved teasing Zhang Yang, and thus, when she realized that she had flipped a switch, she did not let it go but smirked at Zhang Yang. She pulled Zhang Yang closer to her and whispered, "Does it feel good?"

Zhang Yang kept quiet and bashfully nodded.

Han Ying Xue then let his dong go free. Before Zhang Yang was left hanging, she whispered again, "Let's go to the other side!"

It was a good idea since they were only 3 to 4 meters away from Wei Yan Er and the triplets. Since the water was crystal clear, the young girls might catch the couple's funny business.

Zhang Yang cleared his throat and faked a loud cough. "There's too many people here. I'll tell you how to swim underwater!"

When Han Ying Xue heart underwater, she twitched a little and with a gloomy face, she scoffed. "What do you mean by underwater?"

"Ah. Haha. Nothing."

Zhang Yang helped Han Ying Xue doggy paddle over to the other end of the pool. It was a good distance between them, hence Zhang Yang thought that it was safe to do their little thing.

Zhang Yang stood up, covering Han Ying Xue with his back and caressing her breast up and around, sloshing the water around those mountains. His fingers slipped under her swimsuit and started to flick and pinch at her nipples.

Undaunted, Han Ying Xue immediately retaliated, her fingers slipping beneath Zhang Yang's trunks to lightly caressed the gearstick. After a short time, the little rod turned into a long, solid pole, ready to pierce the high heavens.

Zhang Yang then turned Han Ying Xue around and planted a kiss on her lips. That after, he whispered something to her which made Han Ying Xue rolled her eyes and shook her head. Zhang Yang became slightly sadden and made a sulky face. He then tried his best to persuade her again and again, and finally managed to get her to nod her head with glowing red cheeks.

She then caressed Zhang Yang face and sucked in a deep breath before going underwater.

After a short, awkward moment of waiting, Zhang Yang then felt Han Ying Xue's warm hands pulling down his trunks. His stiff rod was then covered with a warm and moist sensation. The space around his little rod became tighter by the moment and he could feel a powerful suction around his shaft. Zhang Yang thrust his head backward at the surge of pleasure that rushed to his brain. The guilty pleasure of it was multiplied when he could hear the chitter-chatter of Wei Yan Er and the triplets behind him.

Han Ying Xue might have a hidden talent in holding her breath. She was underwater for close to 2 minutes before resurfacing. She was panting heavily, her chest heaving up and down, which made Zhang Yang craved for more. Zhang Yang kissed her again and asked for it one more time. After another session of teasing and persuading, Han Ying Xue let out a loud sigh before she went underwater again. The similar sensation of warmth enveloped him again.

Just when he was about to unload, Zhang Yang heard the sound of water splashing about behind him. Zhang Yang quickly tried his best to conceal his front and craned his neck over his shoulder. He saw Zhao Bin swimming over, with a floater below her chest. Fear basically paralyzed him! They were going to be caught!

Shush Shush! The sound of the water splashes grew louder as Zhao Bin got closer to him.

URGH!

Zhang Yang shot a powerful blast of load in intense pleasure.

"Owph!" Han Ying Xue shot out of the water with a loud splash. Just as she was about to open her mouth, she quickly swallowed a mouthful when she saw that Zhao Bin was just behind Zhang Yang. She glared at him angrily. Her cheeks were raging red with a slight hue of bashful pink.

"Brother Yang, Sister Snow, what are you guys doing?" Zhao Bin hovered over the water with the air of her floating ring. It seemed that Zhang Yang and Han Ying Xue were safe.

"Oh! I'm teaching the snow witch how to swim underwater!" said Zhang Yang casually.

Han Ying Xue's coincidentally ragged panting what sold off his lie.

"Hm. Okay then," said Zhao Bin as she paddled her way back to rejoin Wei Yan Er. Zhang Yang's eyes were sharp enough to notice a faint line of bashful pink in her cheeks.

Just after Zhao Bin left, a small patch of white foam floated upwards and dispersed.

Zhang Yang then sighed heavily and put up a fake annoyed tone. "Dear sister, you have just conducted an act that has killed many innocent lives!" (1)

Han Ying Xue was greatly aggravated. She then curled her fist up and punched Zhang Yang's chest as hard as she could. In the end, she retracted her fair, gentle hand in pain. Zhang Yang, on the other hand, was not affected by it. "It's your fault! Who in the right mind you want a blow--ARGH! You made me swallow that disgusting sludge!"

Zhang Yang laughed it off but silently, he blamed himself for not able to endure longer. He was with two world-class hotties, but was still unable to last longer than a dynamite bomb! A single touch and kaboom--!

"Noob--tank! Come--and--teach--us--swimming--!" cried the little girl as loudly as she could.

"Scram!" cried Han Ying Xue as she shoved Zhang Yang away. She covered her mouth and ran back into the villa. Perhaps…she was going to wash her mouth.

Zhang Yang laughed and swam back to the chirpy little girls. First, he taught them how to exhale underwater, how to properly thread the water with their hands, and the most important one, how to float on water without the need of a floater. Naturally, all of the teachings required Zhang Yang's physical touch. Zhang Yang was fine with little girl since she was like a little sister to him. Besides, Wei Yan Er flat board body was extremely hard to appreciate.

On the other hand, the Zhao triplets had given Zhang Yang a hard time. Their youthful, young bodies had the potential to grow to be like Han Ying Xue's. Even though Zhang Yang had just unloaded, he could feel his little Zhang Yang Jr. getting ready for round 2.

Zhang Yang sighed heavily. He was a good man. He would never touch a woman with any ill intent. Well, in the case of Han Ying Xue, she asked for it. However, when instructing someone to swim, it is inevitable that he would accidentally touch their bodies. Touching their supple butts to correct their position was still somewhat forgivable, but Zhang Yang felt extremely guilty when his hands accidentally grazed their still growing chests. This went both ways, even the three girls would occasionally lose their sight in training and could not help but to fall for Zhang Yang.

…

After spending close to 2 hours in the pool, everyone played a little before getting out of the pool. Everyone was tired and ordered take out to be delivered to Zhang Yang villa. After dinner, the four university students were exhausted and were dragged along by Wei Yan Er to stay for the night. The villa had many rooms anyway, even if Wei Yan Er drags along a few more friends over, it would not be much trouble for the villa. That is, if she manages to give a valid excuse to Zhang Yang.

Chapter 550: A Malicious Invite

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After dinner, Han Ying Xue sneaked into Zhang Yang's room and they spent the entire evening banging each other up. At some point, his bed started creaking and loosening up. It had had enough of their madness.

For a few days now, Sun Xin Yu had been extremely busy with a big case at work. She had not been able to come back to the villa and had been resting in the office or in her car. Occasionally, she would log in for a while and disappear without anyone noticing. It was a chance for Han Ying Xue to dominate Zhang Yang alone.

After a good bam-bam in the ham session, both lovers were soaked in each other's sweat. They continued on snuggling and cuddling for a bit. Thanks to the lubricating, lewd, dirty sweat, Han Ying Xue managed to entice Zhang Yang for one last shag by smothering him with her shining, oiled up breasts. After that, they put their gaming helmets on and got to work.

Although the Korean players are said to be extremely good at gaming, the Europeans shared a similar sentiment as well. The guild, Nihilum had been actively training and had managed to take down the 6th boss, making it 6 out of 15 bosses in their progress. The speed was rather fast, which made everyone think that they might gain the chance of taking the boss's First Clear Achievement.

Due to their insane progress, Fatty Han got anxious and had call for a group gathering to enter the dungeon to overthrown the Europeans. Ever since Endless Starlight had obtained the new shield, his survivability had been upgraded. Combined with Fatty Han's Vampire Inheritance, and the experience of them honing their skills at the 5th boss of the dungeon for several days, it was a matter of time before they were able to proceed. Perhaps, the only aspect that they were lacking on would be the hardware.

With Endless Starlight performing his role perfectly as a tank, the party managed to take down the 5th boss of the dungeon after several times being completely wiped. Although the 6th boss was much greater than the 5th boss, the party had managed to rely on Fatty Han Vampire Inheritance Transformation to forcefully make it through the 6th boss. They had managed to pull the gap between China and Europe.

In one day, Lone Desert Smoke had managed to kill two of the Hardcore dungeon bosses and made those commentators that had doubted their skills eat their own words. Still, they had good reason to doubt Lone Desert Smoke, since they had not been performing any better at Normal mode or Hard mode. Even though they had managed to kill two bosses in one day, their ranks were only pushed up from the 20th to the 10th place. Since Lone Desert Smoke had not made much of a show battling the first four bosses of the Hardcore mode of the Dragon Throat Fortress, hence, their average rank had been going up and down, highest being at 29th rank and the lowest being at the 84th rank!

That was why there was the saying that had started spreading in the forums. No one was better at killing bosses than European players. Although China players were creative and highly adaptive, they lacked the innovation to create their own battle strategies. Previously, they were able to defeat boss thanks to imitating the Europeans, taking their strategy and making it their own. Now that the game was on a global stage, Chinese players were unable to silently copy their strategy without being noticed.

Being bombarded with such an accusation, players of China were greatly provoked. However, results and actions speak louder than words. All of China's top guilds were performing poorly. Not only was Lone Desert Smoke not performing at their best, other guilds such as Crimson Rage, Imperial Sky, Sunset Amber, and the others were only able to match Lone Desert Smoke.

Due to their unsightly performance, the topic of "Chinese players being weak" got heated up.

Zhang Yang had been through this dungeon before, and he knew the means and methods to get pass through. However, he chose to remain quiet. He wanted to let Hundred Shots and Mountain Mover discover the strategy themselves. After all, Zhang Yang had only experienced the game till level 179. Beyond that, he could not help anyone out anymore. It was best that he starts letting them be on their own for the time being. Because of that, Lone Desert Smoke exploration party had always been in two phases, a raiding phase, and a conditioning phase.

Zhang Yang had gathered all the main party members like Sun Xin Yu and Han Ying Xue to hunt for their own Inheritance fragments. On the side note, they had been hunting for Open-World bosses to gather strong equipment, in hopes of increasing the exploration party's prowess. Still, it was not progressing as fast as he hoped.

Imperial Sky, and Crimson Rage were doing roughly about the same thing as Lone Desert Smoke. Ever since they had experienced the toughness of the Dragon Throat Fortress Hardcore mode, they had not been able to proceed further if they had only depended on the drops of the first few easier bosses in the dungeon. As a result, the guilds have been hunting for equipment from Open-World bosses.

Faced with such a difficulty, all of China's top guild and players were in a rather stagnant phase.

While Fatty Han and Endless Starlight were progressing rapidly in the aspect of their own character development, they had fought valiantly to refute that statement. In an instant, the forum got heated up and rowdy with commentators as they tried to compare both Lone Desert Smoke's and Nihilum's strength. However, Fatty Han and Endless Starlight were not on the same page as the forum commenters. What the commenters were focusing on were the strengths of the guilds in raiding dungeons.

As such, Zhang Yang had no reason to get himself involved. Depending solely on his Inheritance Transformation skill was not the "authentic" way to raid a dungeon, even though it was extremely efficient. If the transformation skill was only activated to kill the final boss, it would be highly useful at obtaining the First Clear Achievement. On the other hand, if the Transformation skill was used to raid the entire dungeon, it would not be enough, unless the guild had many players with Inheritance Transformation skill. There was just not enough time.

Zhang Yang shrugged at the mess around him and proceeded to complete his messenger quest. The quest itself was a draggy long quest and would definitely waste a player's time. Especially since it was too boring! By the time Zhang Yang had delivered the 54th letter, Zhang Yang felt like he could just smash all the orbs in his inventory. As such, he felt a great admiration for the previous players in his previous life to actually finish the quest since there was no way that that particular player would know that it would trigger the Legendary Main Story quest. Yet, he had done it all, and completed it! Such endurance!

"Hey dummy? The Hell Priest guy just messaged me, inviting us to a battle in the Hovering Amphitheatre. The winner will walk away with all 10 of the Milkmaid Deity Inheritance Fragments. Should I accept the challenge?" Han Ying Xue asked Zhang Yang, through the in-game communicator.

All 8 regions of the game were natural enemies. Hence, there was no method for a private message, nor the ability to befriend them. However, it was possible to contact a player of a different region via the standard mail service, in which, gold coins must be used.

"Hovering Amphitheatre?!" cried Zhang Yang in shock. It seems like the Hell family had lost their patience. It was weird that they had not dared to hunt Han Ying Xue for it, but had chosen to deal with her via the Hovering Amphitheatre.

Hovering Amphitheatre is a PvP matching arena where only two players could participate at a time. Hence, it was considered to be safe, since no one could barge in and interrupt the fight. Furthermore, the Hovering Amphitheatre battle had a betting function whereby players can place bets. It was not limited to just equipment, but other items such as potions and equipment. The battle would be fair and just since the system would be sort of a host and would ensure that the winner walks away with the prize without any additional trouble.

However…how could the opponent be that straightforward?

Fights in the Hovering Amphitheatre were not the same as Battle Arenas (Team PvP). All skills and item were not limited, unlike the Battle Arena where skills and item with 30 minutes or higher cooldown will be greyed out. Lone Desert Smoke had revealed the item [Forbidden Scroll] to the world once, could the Hell family truly believe that they did not have a second piece?

It was unlikely…but how could they ensure victory via a Forbidden Scroll?

If it was Zhang Yang, he would use a [Forbidden Scroll] to counter their [Forbidden Scroll, sending them both to their deaths. Still, it was a huge risk, for even if one side dies a millisecond earlier, they would be the loser. On the other hand, the Inheritance Transformation skill. Even though the [Forbidden Scroll] was overwhelmingly strong, it was not a one-shot skill type but a DoT type skill. The Inheritance Transformation skill was much stronger as one could kill the opponent in a shorter duration than the [Forbidden Scroll]. Once the opponent is killed, the loser would be removed from the Hovering Amphitheatre.

Zhang Yang felt a little guilty, but the Milkmaid Deity Inheritance was an S class Inheritance. There was no way that he would let such a godly haul be snatched away from his hands!

Zhang Yang went into a stupor and thought about it with all his might. He was sure that the opponent had some trick up their sleeves. As such, he should too! They were not stupid, if they suddenly notice the opponent had changed their challenger, they could cancel the fight before it begins…

Perhaps…Hmm…

Zhang Yang widened his eyes at a sudden brilliant idea.

[Guising Potion: Consume to change your appearance to a being within 10 meters away from the user. Has a 50% chance of failure and morphs the user into a disgusting being. Guising potion lasts for 5 minutes. Cooldown: 30 seconds.

Zhang Yang would take the potion and made sure that Han Ying Xue be next to him during the consumption of the potion. If the potion fails, then she should find an excuse to delay for 30 seconds until he gains Han Ying Xue's appearance.

Once the disguise is implanted, Zhang Yang's name tag will change to that of Han Ying Xue's. He would then send out the challenge and enter the battle. Even if the opponent sees through his disguise after the match starts, it would be too late for them to do anything but to die under Zhang Yang's blade. After winning, they should disappear with the haul.

Yeah.

Even though Zhang Yang dislikes cheating, an S class Inheritance was too important to let go of.

Zhang Yang collected his thoughts and nodded his head. "Yea. Tell them we accept."

"Oh. Okay then," said Han Ying Xue as she hung up and went to reply them via the mailing system. After a while, she called Zhang Yang again, "They want us to gather at Anthylor Holy City. The fight will be held there 3 days from now. Hey dummy, where is this Anthylor Holy City?"

"Sigh…It's time for you to stop doing breast exercises. They're huge enough already! It's time for you to read more about the game!" said Zhang Yang casually.

"Dummy! It's all your fault then! You grab and rub them raw all the time! What's going to happen if they start sagging!" Han Ying Xue puffed with anger.

"Hehehe." Zhang Yang laughed. Both of them were lying down on his bed in reality. He then moved his hands up and grabbed her soft, supple tits. His other hand came around and grabbed them both, teasing them relentlessly. "Research states that a woman's breast will only grow bigger when they are touched by a man! Worry not about your jugs, I will personally take care of them!"

The moment Zhang Yang touched Han Ying Xue's perky points, her legs grew weak and she started rubbing her knees against each other. "Stupid! Not now! Stop teasing me, or….I might want to do it again…" Han Ying Xue let out a soft moan before crying out again, "Where is this Anthylor Holy City…Hmmm…."

Zhang Yang froze. Sun Xin Yu the ice queen was not at home, it was a good opportunity to give his magnum a well-deserved rest. It would be troublesome if the witch starts doing it again. Zhang Yang quickly removed his hands from Han Ying Xue's puffy cushions and slightly lowered his hands to her waist.

"The Anthylor Holy City is located in the Chaos Realm. It's situated at the center of the entire map. Like a major city, all PvP in the area is blocked. Players from all over the world could trade and place items in the auction house there. It's like the central hub for all players all over the world."

"But, isn't the Hovering Amphitheater accessible from any city? Why must we go to that bla bla Holy City for?" said Han Ying Xue intrigued.

Zhang Yang had a sudden glint in his eyes. He had only been 80% confident that the opponent would pull a trick, but now that Han Ying Xue had asked about it, he was 100% sure of it!

Chapter 551: Disguise vs Disguise

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

There is always a draw back for disguising as someone else, that is, the fake can never perform as well as the real deal.

Hence, when a player sends out an invitation for a fight, the system will still reveal the opponent's profile information. However, a player could choose to hide their profile as a choice. It was to protect one's dignity if they happen to be defeated. In this case where both sides had no choice to hide their profile information, who in their right mind would choose to accept a Hovering Amphitheater challenge? The penalty for losing would be the deduction of levels and the Inheritance fragments!

However, when a player walks to you and reveals their profile information and name tag, even if they had registered the invitation with a hidden profile, players would take it for real and accept the fight.

Sigh.. the things people would do to cheat and lie…

Zhang Yang had called for Han Ying Xue and explained the situation to her. The witch started fuming in anger. On one hand, she was cursing the people on the other side, on the other hand, she had also scolded Zhang Yang for catching them for their act. Birds of a feather flocked together. Only a cheater can catch a cheater. That was her reasoning, which left Zhang Yang a little troubled.

"Please, I'm just being observant! Unlike you! All breast and no brain."

Han Ying Xue raised her chest high and grabbed Zhang Yang's ball sack. "Say it again. I dare you. Who's all breast no brain?"

When men have their balls grabbed like that, they would have to surrender. Zhang Yang caved in, while his real hand caressed her fair legs and slid smoothly into her moist nether region. "Alright, you win! You're the most beautiful woman, the smartest, the best woman any man could have!"

"Hmph! Pussy!" Han Ying Xue scoffed. "Well, now that you have explained what they are going to do, how do we deal with them? I can't fight a player with the Inheritance Transformation skill.

There was no doubt about that. Zhang Yang did not have any more [Forbidden Scroll: Scourging Doomsday] either for Han Ying Xue to carry. She would be killed even if the player has a Class C Inheritance.

Sigh…such a graceful woman… Zhang Yang was truly distracted by the sensation of her thighs and her waistline. While his hands were still caressing her body in real life, Zhang Yang said, "Are you daft? If they could use some trick, we could do the same! Tell you what though, when the time comes, I'll be the one challenging them! So, let them send a player with Inheritance, we will do the same!"

"But, do you know how to make a Guising Potion in the first place?"

"Haha! Well, not yet. There's always the auction house! Even if the auction house does not have the item, we can still buy it. Fret not, these days, as long as we have the money, there's nothing in the world that I cannot buy. It's not like it's a rare equipment."

Zhang Yang spent the rest of his time completing the messenger quest and getting Daffodil Daydream to search for the recipe in the main city. Without taking much time, Daffodil Daydream called back and told Zhang Yang that there was no recipe for the [Guising Potion] in the auction house. However, there was a player that was selling on the streets and had insisted on selling it for 10,000 gold coins.

Zhang Yang did not hesitate to fork out the money since it was crucial for the plan of robbing the S class Inheritance. However, when Daffodil Daydream wanted to pay the money, the player had promptly increased the price to 30,000 gold coins.

Zhang Yang matched his pace and immediately gave Daffodil Daydream the permission to pay 30,000 gold coins. Be it 10,000, 30,000, or even 30,000,000, Zhang Yang would pay the money. However, what of business ethics? How could a seller suddenly increase the price by such an amount? Zhang Yang was not greatly offended by it and had Daffodil Daydream pay the money. When he obtained the recipe, Zhang Yang had a few Assassins follow the seller around for a kill-on-sight order. He would keep the seller hunted down for a few days, and let the greedy f*cker know that Lone Desert Smoke is not to be messed with.

After 3 days, Zhang Yang managed to send out 72 messages. The day of reckoning arrived, and he brought Han Ying Xue to Anthylor Holy City.

The place was a safe ground. There were no monsters around and no PvP battles. However, even though the city was safe, the route to the city was filled with many monsters with Level as high as Level 190!

Even though they were mostly normal tiered, they were considered to be as strong as an Ethereal tiered monster from Zhang Yang's current perspective. Luckily, Han Ying Xue was around to heal him, enabling him to kill one monster within 10 minutes of struggling. Both of them took close to 10 hours before they finally arrived at the legendary holy city.

Anthylor Holy City is a miracle city that floated 300 meters above the ground. The city was built on a hill with a flat top. Each structure in the city was built with a different sense of architecture. Somewhere big and flat, while the others were narrow and tall. It could be said that it was built to accommodate various races.

The two of them flew to the city and could see many different kinds of beings around. There were centaurs, minotaurs, gnomes, jinn and many more races that were never seen before. Even though the segregation of races in the pre-Chaos Realm lands was prominent, there were none in this holy city. In fact, everyone was having a good time with each other. Even a vicious Alligator Beastman could have fun playing with a little Lamb Beastman. One was drooling, while the other was having a good time being tossed around in the air.

To have such a peace in this land, only a powerful entity could have achieved it. Zhang Yang knew about the place, and naturally, he knew that the owner of the holy city was a powerful Celestial tier boss, the true Spellcaster, named Charles the Sun Chaser.

Charles the Sun Chaser was a powerful entity with a rich background. His father was an Elf Spellcaster while his mother was a Human Priest. The union of races was greatly objected by the Elven race of his father. Right after Charles was born into the world, a group of Assassins were sent to assassinate his parents. Charles was spared, and had dived into the world of the Arcane and had managed to be the first being in history to use two racial magic powers. After coming of age, he tracked down the group of assassins that had killed his parents. After removing them from the surface of the earth, he had built the Holy City of Anthylor in the Chaos Realms.

Anyone with logical thinking would be able to imagine just how powerful Charles's magic was, to be able to create such a gigantic floating city. With such a powerful Celestial tier boss residing in the center of the city, no one had dared to cause any trouble. Not even Spectres nor Demons dared step into the area. Anthylor quickly became one of the most peaceful and holy places in Chaos Realm.

Zhang Yang had taken his slow sweet time to explain the lore of the city as he walked through the city streets. As per the city law, players were not allowed to travel in the city with a flying mount. Any lawbreakers will be promptly be expelled.

The two of them walked and came to the auction house. The streets were brimming with many NPCs but there were no traces of any players nearby. Han Ying Xue then sent a message to notify their opponent of their arrival. Not long after, the opponent had sent a message back and told Han Ying Xue that they would take another 10 minutes.

Zhang Yang and Han Ying Xue exchanged a look. Both of them knew that the opponent had already arrived, but were trying to buy more time to get the disguise they want via the [Guising Potion].

"Well then, shall we start?" said Han Ying Xue. She then passed all five Milkmaid Deity Inheritance Fragments to Zhang Yang. The two of them then found a quiet corner to start using the [Guising Potion] as well.

Zhang Yang had crafted the [Guising Potion] himself, so he had managed to craft out a Transmuted version of it, lengthening the Disguise duration. Every one tier of Transmutation would provide an extra minute to the Disguise duration. During the three day period, Zhang Yang had crafted a whole pile of potions and among them, he had many bottles of Transmuted tier 10 potions which would increase the potion's duration to 15 minutes.

Still, Zhang Yang was not as lucky. He had taken a total of three bottles and only then managed to proc the disguise successfully. With a flash of bright light, he turned from an overly large chicken to an old duck and finally turned into a beautiful female priest with a huge rack. His name tag then morphed and turned into Han Ying Xue's.

Zhang Yang then reached out and rubbed his boobs. With a wide smile on his face, he said, "Woah! This is so real. I can assure you that my boobs and yours have no difference."

"…"

Zhang Yang walked over the auction house. He had made sure to sway his hips seductively with each step make a convincing Han Ying Xue. On the other hand, Han Ying Xue had hidden her profile information and had changed into a different set of equipment that concealed her identity well.

"Little Snow?"

After waiting for 7 to 8 minutes around the auction house, a man named Hell Priest came forth to Zhang Yang.

Hell Priest, Level 103, Human Male, Priest, Paragon.

Little Snow, Level 101, Human Female, Priest, Lone Desert Smoke.

Zhang Yang flashed "his own" name tag at the man. When both of them were satisfied, the man spoke, "There are no words left to exchange. Let's just get down to it."

The man hid his name tag, and his character was immediately highlighted with an enemy's red outline. He then sent an invite to a Hovering Amphitheater class A challenge. The penalty for losing would be Level -3! At that point in time, it would take roughly 10 days to gain a level. The losing party would have to grind for another long month to regain the lost levels!

Zhang Yang accepted the challenge. He opened the wager window and placed all five of the Milkmaid Deity Inheritance Fragments inside. This action can never be faked. After the opponent had placed their items, the system then locked and "confiscated" the items, and waited for both parties to accept the challenge.

Shush! When both of them had confirmed their selection, they were teleported into the battle field with a 5 minute countdown to the fight.

"Hahaha!"

When the battle had been locked in, no one could leave or enter the battlefield. Even if Zhang Yang chooses to leave now, he would be forfeiting the battle and would have to accept defeat and have his level reduce by 3. Since the opponent felt that he had trapped Zhang Yang, he had let out a laugh and had dispelled his [Guising Potion] effect to reveal his true self.

Dusk Phoenix, Level 102, Elf Female, Bandit, Paragon.

Grah! It's Dusk Phoenix again.

It would make sense since the opponent had taken into account the dangers of the [Forbidden Scroll]. Only A class Inheritance transformation skill would give a player a safe range of HP to take the damage, so Dusk Phoenix had been sent to take down Han Ying Xue.

Zhang Yang smirked to himself and quickly pretended to be surprised. "Y-Y-You cheated!"

"So what?!" Dusk Phoenix snarled through her teeth. "Blame your guild master for this. That perverted, wretched man must pay for it. In fact, all that is dear to him shall pay as well! His guild members included! Haha! I want to see his face the moment he loses an S class Inheritance!"

Sigh…Really…Women can never be offended. Zhang Yang remembered that he had smacked her butt a few times, and even then, he had used his shield, and not his own hands! Was it worth going so far to hurt him?

Zhang Yang remembered when she had hunted him in the cave for almost two hours back then. It was one of the worst experience for him. This time around, it should be his turn to hunt her down like a dog! He smiled confidently and said, "Are you sure that you can defeat me?"

"Hmph. The only trump card you have should be the [Forbidden Scroll]! I've researched it! [Scourging Doomsday] can only deal 10% worth of HP per second! The upper limit is 100,000! What that you don't know about me is that I have an A class Inheritance! After Transforming, I will have 1,880,000 HP! Even then I have a full recovery HP skill! At most, you can deal 300,000 HP worth of damage, and I will kill you with my remaining HP!" said Dusk Phoenix, proudly and confidently.

"Oh woah. I can never calculate like that. Your calculus must be top of the class!"

"You--" Dusk Phoenix felt that something was off. The graceful woman in front of her certainly did not seem like a rascal. Dusk Phoenix sucked in a deep breath and adjusted her collar. She pulled down her collar that seemed to be too tight that it was strangling her. Her skin was so fair, unlike those of Asian girls.

"Don't provoke me. I will not fall for it!"

Zhang Yang truly believed that the woman had to be of an upper class. The way she moved the tone of her voice all hinted towards that direction. Those of which, Zhang Yang thought to be pretentious and rather snobbish.

5 minutes was about to reach its end, and a large digital clock appeared in the middle of the battlefield.

10 seconds…

Dusk Phoenix immediately activated the Blood Angel Inheritance Transformation skill. A pair of red wings sprouted out of her back, enabling her to hover above the ground with a few flaps of her wings. Her wide wings had eclipsed the sunlight behind her and cast a long dark shadow over the field.

7 seconds…

"Dorky, let me give you a piece of advice. Before you know the opponent's trump card, do not allow yourself to think that victory is already in your hands." Zhang Yang smiled lightly.

D-D-D-D-Dorky!?

Dusk Phoenix was aggravated. If she could have started the fight then, she would have already zoomed to his neck and sliced Zhang Yang's head off.

4 seconds…3…2…1…!

The horn of war was blown, and Zhang Yang activated his own God of War Transformation. A rainbow, radiant light blasted off everywhere and a pair of magnificent wings burst out from Zhang Yang back. The wings Zhang Yang had were far bigger, wider, and more beautiful than Dusk Phoenix's.

I-im—im—imposible!

Dusk Phoenix was flabbergasted. How could her opponent have a transformation skill as well?! It was impossible! If her opponent had a transformation skill, "she" should have an Inheritance already! Why would "she" fight for more Inheritance Fragments in the first place?! Perhaps, "she" too had taken a bottle of [Guising Potion] and had wanted to fight in the real Little Snow' stead.

It would not make sense then…to make sure that the opponent was the real deal, she had even camped at the rendezvous. For the whole time she had been watching, she had not seen the "woman" taking any potions! If she had, the Disguise effect should have already worn off! The worst part of it all was that Little Snow had been alone for more than 5 minutes! The potion would only work if the person you are imitating is within 10 meters away from you!

Could it be, that Little Snow is fighting for the Inheritance, even though she already possessed an Inheritance, all for the purpose of obtaining an S class Inheritance!?

…

Dusk Phoenix was not an Alchemist, hence, she was not all too familiar with Transmuted potions. Thus, at that sudden appearance of Zhang Yang wings, she had instantly forgotten about Transmuted potions and thought of another reasoning behind the battle. To be just like her, to able to fly after activating the Inheritance Transformation skill, "Little Snow" must have an A class Inheritance!

Dusk Phoenix collected her senses and became serious. An A class Inheritance and the possibility of [Forbidden Scroll] being used might be the end of her. However, it would not make sense for "her" to even have a [Forbidden Scroll] in the first place! She could have already used the scroll to win the battle and obtain an S class Inheritance! Why would she choose to obtain an A class Inheritance just to fight Dusk Phoenix!?

Class A Inheritance vs another Class A Inheritance…

Hmmm. It should be a good fight then.

Dusk Phoenix smirked as she thought about it.

Chapter 552: One Sided Victory

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Two players, two Transformation. One fight. One winner!

Dusk Phoenix did not dare let her guard down in the face of a player with an Inheritance. She sensed that she would need to fight "her" as if she was fighting a stronger foe. With a cloud of smoke, she disappeared midair.

Zhang Yang's eyes widen when he saw that Dusk Phoenix had entered stealth mode in mid-flight.

Zhang Yang closed his eyes and calmed himself down. By the time a player can see an invisible attack, it would be too late to do anything by then. Instead of the eyes, it would be more efficient to rely on the other senses of touch and hearing. Players can sense and hear the distorted airspace, and could determine the location of the Thief and attack at that very spot to force her out of the stealth mode.

Fu.

Zhang Yang could hear a faint and inaudible sound of breathing coming somewhere from his left. He shut his eyes still and properly pinpointed her position before swinging his sword towards his left.

"Argh—" With a grunt of pain, Dusk Phoenix's character reappeared in the battlefield with a large wound in her chest. The blow had torn through her clothing, but they quickly mended itself back. She gazed back to Zhang Yang with horror and surprised, not believing that "she" could detect her position, even while in stealth mode. The worst part of it all was when she noticed the sword in "her" hands.

Dusk Phoenix frowned and bellowed, "Y-You're not Little Snow! What are you!"

A Priest could only wield a staff. They cannot equip a sword or another weapon. That is, unless the player obtains the Inheritance called the "The Frost Swordsman". Any class would be able to equip a sword as their primary weapons. However, it did not make sense for a Priest, a magic class to rely on a physical weapon to attack. Without a proper equipment setup, even if one had unlimited Intelligence, the sword would not do any damage at all. Dusk Phoenix knew that Little Snow's character was a Priest, hence, it would not make sense for her to equip a sword.

Furthermore, the damage she had just inflicted on her, had penetrated all her Defense and had dealt 10 damage. It should have been 0!

Zhang Yang smiled widely until his teeth were exposed. "Ducky Phoenix, you have been infatuated with me for so long, yet you could not sense the real me beneath this appearance?"

Zhang Yang then removed the Disguise effect.

"YOU!" Dusk Phoenix cried with the anger and frustration of a thousand men. Old vengeance rose anew and her face was dyed in a vermillion color of carnal shame. She did something with her right hand, and a beautiful female elf appeared by her side. She wore a white ceremonial gown which made her look like a Priestess. She must be Dusk Phoenix's Battle Companion.

"Zhan Yu! I WILL KILL YOU!" cried the deranged woman as she zoomed towards Zhang Yang and planted her swords into Zhang Yang's chest. Zhang Yang laughed at the sight of her coming at him and countered her attack with a flick of his shield. His shield deflected one sword and he used his other hand to parry the other sword with his Sword of Purging Devourer.

Ping ping bang bang!

Two players and one Battle Companion flung at each other in the air. Dusk Phoenix's Battle Companion was a healer type and had started healing Dusk Phoenix since her summoning. Fortunately, Zhang Yang was able to inflict {Destructive Smash} on her and reduced her healing rate. Still, even with her healing going on, she could never nullify the devastating attack power of Zhang Yang's immense God of War Inheritance!

Zhang Yang thought about it and realized that since Dusk Phoenix had used her Battle Companion, Zhang Yang felt that he had no need to hide Felice anymore. He had his identity exposed already anyway. The little girl might just be a little girl, but her attack power rivals even Zhang Yang!

If Zhang Yang had not been sly enough to debunk the opponent's trickery, Han Ying Xue might have just blindly entered the battle and get herself killed by Dusk Phoenix. Not only would she lose the precious Inheritance, she would have had 3 Levels deducted from and be expelled from the Chaos Realm as a result.

Zhang Yang could not allow that to happen, as the consequences would jeopardize his guild's progress. In fact, Zhang Yang wanted to teach her a lesson. A lesson so hard and brutal that whenever Dusk Phoenix hears his name, she would start having nightmares!

Zhang Yang kept his shield on his back and spread out his wings. He shot to Dusk Phoenix and punched her forcefully in her chest. Right then, his Strength was as high as 3,211. It was more than enough to overpower Dusk Phoenix since she was a class that primarily focused on Dexterity.

WHAM! CRACK!

Dusk Phoenix was sent down to earth like a meteor, leaving behind a small crater. No one, at the current stage of the game, could fight Zhang Yang in aerial combat!

The blonde woman could be said to rival that of Sun Xin Yu's agility. With a quick tumble, she hopped away from Zhang Yang's incoming "meteor punch" and got herself to safety by jumping back 4 to 5 meters.

Zhang Yang had always thought that a woman would always protect her dignity, even in the game. When Dusk Phoenix had managed to evade Zhang Yang super punch, she felt like her dignity had been tarnished. With great anger, the woman let out a battle cry and lunged at Zhang Yang.

She knew that she could not put up a fight with Zhang Yang in the air, hence, she opted for grounded combat. It was, after all, her method of fighting for the past year. She barely had a few days worth of aerial combat experience.

"You swine! You have no honor! Gangster! Hooligan! You are no gentleman! I will kill you for it!" she cried.

Zhang Yang laughed at her pitiful retort and moved to her at an alarming speed. Even though he could not avoid taking a slash or two from Dusk Phoenix, they were merely normal attacks which would not harm him much. With the strength of the world, Zhang Yang directed a straight corkscrew punch directly in Dusk Phoenix's chest.

A loud thump was heard, along with the slow-motion sight where Dusk Phoenix's chest was blown inwards, followed with a quick haymaker, resulting in Dusk Phoenix being blown away, as if she was rammed by a train. That did not matter since it did no "real" damage. However, after the corkscrew punch, the second punch was not necessary. It was landed just to make her boobs bounce around.

Dusk Phoenix realized that and was fuming with steam, coming out from her cheeks.

"S—Shameless bastard!"

Punishing someone would mean nothing if it wasn't harsh enough! Even if losing an A class Hovering Amphitheater challenge ends up with a deduction of 3 Levels, it was just an amount of experience points that can be farmed again. Flesh wounds will heal, but mental scar does not heal as easily. That was what Zhang Yang was aiming for, he wanted to mentally scar her so badly that she would not dare to even mention his name for the rest of his life! Well, nothing that drastic. He only wanted her to leave him alone.

Zhang Yang smirked at Dusk Phoenix and glided through her wide open legs and landed a punch at her butt. The butt of the European woman was so supple and bouncy that his punches did nothing but sent them jiggling like crazy!

Dusk Phoenix was enraged and ashamed. She quickly opened up the system command menu and reported Zhang Yang's misdemeanor. However, the system rejected the report, saying that a battle was still in place and cannot be interfered with. In fact, there was a wager in place, hence a "harassment report" will not register. If a female player feels like she was being physically harassed, she can forfeit the match and make a report.

Remember that Dusk Phoenix was a prideful woman, just like a certain someone, hence, there was no chance that she would forfeit the battle, just because the player happens to punch her tits and *ss. She gritted her teeth and continued the fight.

Unfortunately for Dusk Phoenix, Zhang Yang was a player who had reached the Grand Master level of Supporting Attacks. She may jump around, turn invisible, and would still take a point blank range of his super punch. Still, she could still turn the tables around, since her attack power was strong enough to drain his HP away.

There were two problems with her attacks. Even though she was powerful, Zhang Yang had over 5,000,000 HP and could restore his HP with {Shield Wall}!

Zhang Yang healing rate was 75% HP, 4,035,600 HP every 150 seconds. Dusk Phoenix must push her DPS to at least 26,904 to properly kill Zhang Yang. But it was impossible! Zhang Yang's own devastating DPS was only over 26,000! Furthermore, Dusk Phoenix's Battle Companion was a Healer-type that could not help increasing her DPS. She could only widen her eyes in despair as Zhang Yang would restore his HP every 2 and a half minutes.

It's a torture! A mental torture that Zhang Yang wanted!

Zhang Yang moved around like the wind and continuously smacked Dusk Phoenix's chest and *ss. Every time he touched them, she would twitch and wince with rage, and would not fail to retaliate with a wild attack. From her perspective, Zhang Yang was worst than any perverted man on earth!

Since both sides had the ability to restore their HP, the battle was dragged on until it was close to 1 hour.

Dusk Phoenix had her chest and *ss "caressed" for a uncountable amount of times. Even though it was still a game, the sensation of his fingers making contact with her sensitive areas felt like it was real!

In the beginning, she felt ashamed and angry. After that, it was numbing. Finally, after a few rounds of touching, she started to feel a little weird. The kind of sensation that made her body hot, as if something inside her was begging for release. It made her face flush with a red hue that was even deeper than vermilion! She could have just moaned out loud on the spot!

"What is going on with me!" Dusk Phoenix cried to herself. She had never felt such a feeling in her life!

Zhang Yang saw the opponent face was turning red, but he only thought that she was flustered with rage and not…the other thing. He continued on to smack and slam his opponent without giving it a second thought.

"Argh~~" She tried to cover her orgasmic moans with loud cry of angers. Her voice cracked. She was afraid of the feeling. To make thing worse, she had attained that feeling in the hands of a man that she hated!

"My god…" Dusk Phoenix muttered under her breath. For 21 years, she had been brought up, trained and cultivated by the highest of nobility. For 21 years, she had never been touched by a man! For so long, she was proud that she had never been sullied by any man the world and gained the sanctity and pride of purity. Yet, all of that was destroyed, simply by a game battle with a hooligan!

Her pride had refused to let her lose the fight. Therefore, she chose to endure the humiliating shame of punishment, or pleasure or was it both? All she could do was to shove those conflicted emotions down and focus on the shame and revenge. Still, there was an intense conflict in her heart that made her feel like killing herself in shame!

As Dusk Phoenix was battling on with the complex feeling swarming in her heart, Zhang Yang started to grow impatient and resorted to using his sword to strike his foe. With haste, Zhang Yang hacked away at her HP. Dusk Phoenix on the other had lost the will to continue on. She had even forgotten to use the recovery skill "Blood Angel Requiem" and was killed by Zhang Yang.

Shush!

Dusk Phoenix realized that she was defeated and lost the fire in her eyes. With dead, unfocused eyes, her body disappeared from the arena, and out of Chaos Realm. Having lost 3 Levels, her level had been deducted to Level 99. Zhang Yang puffed a relieved sigh. It would be an easy job for her to reach Level 100 with her Class A Inheritance.

'Ding! You have won the battle!'

'Ding! You have obtained an item: Milkmaid Deity Inheritance Fragment (4)!'

'Ding! You have obtained an item: Milkmaid Deity Inheritance Fragment (6)!'

'Ding!...'

Zhang Yang's inventory had gained 5 pieces of Inheritance Fragment immediately. He then took out all ten pieces of the fragments and they glowed with radiant light. When the light faded, a long mirky white staff appeared in his hands.

[Milkmaid Deity Inheritance Keepsake] (Quest Item)

Use: Initiates the Milkmaid Deity Inheritance quest.

Class Requirement: Priest.

Level Requirement: 100

"Hey dummy! Did you win?" Han Ying Xue bounced on the balls of her feet when she saw Zhang Yang walking towards her. She had been waiting on the streets of Anthylor for more than 1 hour.

"Yeah. Here. This is for you." Zhang Yang dropped the staff in Han Ying Xue's fair hands that matched the staff's color.

"Awesome! This maiden—ops. This lady will have an S class Inheritance!" cried Han Ying Xue.

Chapter 553: A Tiny Debt

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After initiating the S class Inheritance quest, Han Ying Xue laughed her head off as she went off to complete it. She had the big pervert Battle Companion with her as her tank, and she herself could heal at an outstanding rate. Han Ying Xue now had the ability to fight any boss below Violet-Platinum Tier all by herself, as long as the boss fight does not have a time-based mechanism.

That being said, if she is patient enough, she could fight alone. In fact, she had always been calling for Zhang Yang to help her do the rough work. It was somewhat like working for his wife. According to Han Ying Xue, she would rather do something fun with him instead of wasting time killing monsters alone.

No matter what class of Inheritance quest it may be, the first few initial quests should involve running around to talk to a few NPCs first. Hence, Zhang Yang was free to do his messenger quest while Han Ying Xue did her menial errands.

When it was close to morning, Zhang Yang was awoken by the little girl's rude knocks on his door. She wanted him to drive her and the Zhao triplets back to the campus.

Zhang Yang sighed but eventually agreed. Wei Yan Er was almost his sister-in-law. And according to her own reasoning, a sister-in-law is half of a responsibility that he has to bare. Zhang Yang took a nice, long bath on purpose, making the girl impatient, and drove them back to school with the MPV.

Before they made to leave the villa, all triplets were all addressing Zhang Yang sweetly, calling him, "Brother Zhang". Although Zhang Yang could not recognize it, Zhao Bin had a slight blush as she stared into his eyes with a sort of admiration. She would also slip past him to evade his gaze, which left him a little weirded out.

Zhang Yang drove them all to the university and dropped them off at the university entrance. Since Zhang Yang had not yet had his breakfast, Zhang Yang parked his car on the side and planned to have a meal in the university's canteen. Along the route, he spotted Yu Li who was carrying a small leather purse, walking towards the same direction.

"Huh? Zhang Yang?" Yu Li was surprised to see him in such a place. She smiled happily when she thought that he had purposely come all the way to the campus just to see her. However, when she noticed that Wei Yan Er and the triplets were with him, she sulked immediately.

"Eh?! Brother Zhang, you know Miss Yu?" asked Zhao Bin. She was a little afraid.

"Well…Yes. I do. She was my homeroom teacher when I was still a student in the campus." Said Zhang Yang as he waved at Yu Li while greeting her with a warm smile. "Good morning Teacher Yu!"

"Teacher? What is she teaching?" said Wei Yan Er with a frown on her forehead. Although she was a busybody in nature, there were a few aspects of life that she was rather sharp at noticing. She had picked up something from the way Yu Li had called out to Zhang Yang and how Zhang Yang had greeted her back.

"Software Engineering," said Zhao Bin. The triplets had chosen different courses to study, and Zhao Bin was the only one who had selected Computer Engineering as her course. Hence, she was the only person there, besides Zhang Yang who knew her.

Yu Li paced quickly and when she saw Zhao Bin, she nodded her head and politely asked, "My, my. Good morning, girl. Little Bin, how did you come to know Zhang Yang?"

"Ehrm. Well. Brother Yang is our friend. Yes! Just a normal friend!" Zhao Bin explained frantically. Along her sisters, Zhao Bin was the only who was rather innocent. After enrolling for more than a year, she had not engaged in any relationships with any man and was afraid that Yu Li might have misunderstood something.

Zhang Yang patted the little girl's head and said, "Time for class then, little girls. The first period is about to start!"

"Psst!" Wei Yan Er gestured for Zhang Yang to lower himself for her to whisper. "Noobie tank. You better keep yourself clean! You must not betray my cousin sister or Sister Sun!"

Zhang Yang raised an eyebrow.

"I noticed that this Teacher Yu has a big bust and a nice butt. Hmph. I'm telling you. She's not a good person!"

Zhang Yang shook his head. How could the little brat judge a person based on the size of their boobs and butts?

Zhang Yang pressed his knuckles against the little girl's head hard and patted her back. "Off you go!"

Although the little girl never enjoyed having anyone rub or do anything to her head, she was extremely comfortable with Zhang Yang doing so. It was like a family thing for her. Wei Yan Er then walked away from Zhang Yang and joined the girls for class.

cough*

"I must say. You're doing a splendid job at raising so many little sisters when you're not with me," said Yu Li with a little trace of disdain and sadness.

Zhang Yang burst out with laughter, which made Yu Li slightly annoyed. "What about it? Jealous?"

"Please. I'm not in the place to be jealous of anyone. I have not forgotten my place. I am but your lover. Not your wife, nor your girlfriend. I am someone that you can use anytime you want. It is not of my concern to be bothered with whom you sleep with," said Yu Li with a monotone voice as she turned around with a saddened sulk on her face.

Ever since Zhang Yang had been breaking beds with Han Ying Xue and Sun Xin Yu, Zhang Yang had never once been left alone by the two vixens. During the daytime, he was "allowed" to go to the office. Although there were 6 super bootylicious babes in his office, ready to do his bidding, Zhang Yang was not at all affected. Even little Zhang Yang Jr. would refuse to stick its head out for a peek. Clearly, his standards had been elevated to another level. That, or little Zhang Yang was just too exhausted from pacifying the two-universe classed vixens at home.

With that going on with his life, Zhang Yang had no more energy to meet Yu Li. Still, Yu Li had been left with a dry spell for only a short two weeks!

Zhang Yang felt that a man was rather different compared to a woman in terms of sex. Women would only do it with a partner that they like. On the other hand, there were many men who would willingly have sex with any women. The only question was if the female partner could make them rise to the occasion.

Yu Li had the body of a mature woman, and since Zhang Yang had given her the experience of love not long ago, she had started to feel a little lonely when Zhang Yang had left her "un-entertained" for two whole weeks.

Zhang Yang did no need to ask, as he already knew that she was dying to be filled up by him. Hence, he held her hands and pulled her close to his face. "Get in the car."

Yu Li could feel the heat rising up to her heart, but she refused to make it easy for Zhang Yang. "What for?"

"A man can do many things when he is not hungry. I need to have a meal first before I can repay the debt I owe you!"

"Poppy talk!" said Yu Li as she rolled her eyes. In the end, she sat in the co-driver's seat.

Zhang Yang quickly got to his driver's seat and glanced at Yu Li. She was wearing a short-sleeved blouse that was completely covering her chest. It seemed that she had been reserving herself. However, the one thing that she failed to cover was her long slender legs. Compared to anyone else, Yu Li might be the one woman with the fairest and sexiest legs. Seeing her legs alone was more than enough to satisfy his hunger.

The little girl had made things harder for Zhang Yang. When she was sitting in the co-driver's seat, she had made the seat position so low that when Yu Li had sat down on the seat, her legs were lifted upwards. Her pencil skirt was pulled backwards. Perhaps a little too far back that Zhang Yang could see the dark, forbidden region between Yu Li's magnificent thighs.

The dragon was awoken and Zhang Yang turned off the car's engine.

Yu Li caught his burning gaze and was happy and frustrated at the same time. Her body craved for the touch of the man that she loved, but to push Percy into the puss in the car would be a little too shameful. Plus, it was morning! There were many people, students, or even her own colleagues who will walk through the parking lot!

"Why did you turn off the engine for? Go on, didn't you say that you were hungry?" said Yu Li.

"That's right. I'm hungry, so I'll devour you." Zhang Yang pulled her head closer to his and planted a hot passionate kiss on her lips. His left hand traced the lining of her neck and shoulders, his right hand crept beneath her skirt, "digging" through the bushes and into her cave.

Yu Li already had an amazing body before Zhang Yang was with her. That was one of the reasons, or rather, the main reason why there were too many horny male students in the university had beat their meat to her pictures. Now that Zhang Yang had plucked her fruit, her body had become more beautiful. Her perky curves had became curvier, not to mention so much bigger that Zhang Yang's wide hands had trouble cupping them whole.

Zhang Yang continued to play wrestling with her tongue until he saw that her twin peaks were standing out for him, reading to be teased.

After a while, Yu Li opened her eyes and came back to her senses, just when Zhang Yang was about to bury his face in between those protected mountains.

"Are you mad!?" said Yu Li as she pulled herself away from Zhang Yang's embrace.

"What?" said Zhang Yang.

"Do you want to be on the 8 o'clock news?"

Yu Li saw the sadden disappointment in Zhang Yang eyes, as if a little kid had had his favorite toy confiscated. She felt a sharp pain in her chest. Although she could not deny that she wanted him inside her right there and then, it was too much of a risk to bear. She would still, like any other woman, prefer a safer atmosphere to make love in.

Zhang Yang cried out. "It should be fine! My car windows are heavily tinted glass. No one can see through the windows!" said Zhang Yang as he removed his fingers from the system of caverns and bushes. There was a coat of glittering liquid in his fingers. "Teacher. It's not good to lie. You want me to explore your cavern more, don't you!"

"Erhm…Well. I do. But not here."

Yu Li caved in. When she heard Zhang Yang uttered the word "Teacher" she felt a sudden rush of carnal need for him. She felt the need of a man, no, not just any man. She wanted Zhang Yang to dominate her. The only thing that mattered was that he was hers.

Zhang Yang retracted his hands and looked as if he was about to cry. Yu Li then grabbed his hands and sucked on his fingers. Her tongue slithered around his thick, rough finger. After she had tasted her own fountain of youth, she removed his fingers from her mouth with a soft pop. "My office. Let's go."

Zhang Yang's eyes widened with a glint of joy. He then started the car and drove like the drivers of Initial D to the I.T department. The two of them entered the faculty and met a number of lecturers along the way. Many of them did not recognize Zhang Yang and some of them had already forgotten that they had once taught him. Some of them had even asked Yu Li if Zhang Yang was her boyfriend. Their voices were clearly disgruntled.

Yu Li was a flower. Perhaps, the most beautiful flower in the entire faculty. She could be one of the top girls in the entire campus! It was not clear as to how many male teachers or students were in love with her. However, Yu Li had been guarding her heart closely. She never again fell for the temptation of money or promotion. In fact, she had been reserving herself for quite some time after Zhang Yang had rescued her. Hence, none of the male lecturers had a chance to taste her forbidden fruit.

They say that fruits that were not allowed to be plucked, tasted better. In the campus, when Yu Li walked across the pathway, many male lecturers had been giving her flowers and some had even proposed a relationship out of wedlock! They had been barging into her office, even though they had no business with her.

Hence, Yu Li was rather popular among the male lecturers, but was rather scorned by the female community. They had been calling her a sly fox behind her back. When Zhang Yang was still a student, he had been hearing such things. However, he had not dared to do anything about it. But now that he was taking care of Yu Li in this lifetime, Zhang Yang "retaliated". He had publicly "announced" that Yu Li belonged to him by placing his hands over her hips. He even did a princess carry for her, carrying her up in his arms from the stairways to her office door.

"Sigh…What if others had recognized you as one of my students. I can't bear to live with that shame!" said Yu Li as her face was as pink as a ripe peach.

"What's wrong with that? As I recall, teacher-student relationships are all too common!" said Zhang Yang as he gently placed Yu Li on her office chair. He locked the door behind him and planted his face in between her thighs.

Originally, Yu Li was in no position to own an office room. However, due to few malicious acts of a few maverick male officers in the department, and a bunch of support from the male lectures, the department had agreed to assign Yu Li to her own private office instead of a small cubicle, despite many silent protests from the female lecturers.

The surprising feature of the room was that the noise cancellation of the room was too good to be true. When the windows and door was shut, there was absolutely no noise that could leak through, even if there was a gun fight right outside the hallway! The room was set up that way to allow the maverick male lecturer to have their alone time with Yu Li. However, Yu Li had been reserving herself to a point where no men could even come close to touch her hands! She was one of the prime example of women practicing the older traditional days. However, Zhang Yang had been able to tear that barrier down and Yu Li had been loyal to only Zhang Yang alone. She would never allow other man besides him to touch her. From her own perspective, it was a professional courtesy. She was, after all, Zhang Yang's "property".

"Hmm~ You bad boy. Are you going to molest a teacher?" said Yu Li as she gazed at Zhang Yang with her seductive eyes. The buttons on her blouse had been unhooked, which made her protected mountains burst out, revealing her sinful, black laced undergarment that was slightly transparent, allowing Zhang Yang to see the different tones of colors at the tips of her mountains.

"Teacher. Do you want me to molest you?" Zhang Yang laughed.

Yu Li groaned with pleasure when Zhang Yang buried his head and used his tongue to roughly caress the bell above the temple. As she moaned and groaned, she held his head up and pulled him closer to her face. "You have been waiting for so long. I think it's time to let the dragon loose."

When she pulled Zhang Yang closer to her, her hands had been rubbing hard against his groins. She could feel the great pressure of it that was pushing against the fabric of his jeans.

She had been waiting for 10 days and had amassed a dry spell so long that Zhang Yang would need to summon the rain from the high heavens to quench her thirst for him.

Without waiting any longer, Zhang Yang unzipped his jeans and introduced the hidden dragon to the crouching tiger. Yu Li gazed at Zhang Yang with unfocused eyes.

Neither of them could wait no longer. Zhang Yang pulled her undergarment aside and Yu Li swallowed the dragon whole.

The echoes of their delightful moans were only limited to inside her office, following close with the start of their journey to pleasure town.

Chapter 554: The Pirate's Treasure Map

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

They say, that being a firefighter takes a real man to the test of his limits. Only with a steel mind and a strong body could they last against the fiery flames.

Zhang Yang sat in a spare chair in Yu Li's office, tired and panting like a mad dog. His first crush had the face that read fatigue, but she still had some energy left to her. There were sparkles on her face that made her even more attractive than before.

Sigh…both of them were the same breed of human, so why was he the only one panting for air?

Zhang Yang was so tired that he could barely lift his legs, yet Yu Li was still radiating with beauty!

"Hah. Why are you so tired?" asked Yu Li after she came back to her sense after being in trance. She got up to her feet and gently patted Zhang Yang little dragon. "Did you have a little too much nectar?"

"Hehehe!" Zhang Yang pulled Yu Li into his embrace and made her sit on his lap. "You should stay with me!"

Yu Li eyes widened at his proposal. Her breath started to speed up as she stared at Zhang Yang with disbelief. Her clothes were in a mess and her undergarments were somewhere in the corner of her office. As she caressed his face, she asked, "Are you being serious?" Tears started to leak out of her beautiful eyes.

Zhang Yang cocked his head. He felt it funny that Yu Li thought it was weird. Since he was already in a relationship with Sun Xin Yu and Han Ying Xue, having one more mouth to feed would not be a problem. That aside, he had gotten his relationships straightened up. He would not pretend to like someone, make love to them, and disappear into the night. He will take in Yu Li as well to break even with her.

That being said, Yu Li was the first person that he had fallen for in this lifetime. Even though he was infatuated with her for four years, the extinguished love for her had been rekindled. No wonder there was an old philosophy stating that feelings develop like tree rings, the longer they have been together, the stronger their relationship would be.

Even though Yu Li had always treated herself as Zhang Yang's lover and not a real girlfriend, Zhang Yang had never shared the same sentiment. She had never been able to find a stance which she could be proud of. However, if Zhang Yang allowed her to move in with him, it meant that he saw her as someone special.

Women always wanted a position or a status to be proud of. Men however, would shed blood for it.

A tree grows with nothing but it's bark to protect it, and asks for nothing more. Anyone can do anything that they like, as long as they wanted. That was why Zhang Yang would not go back on his words, even if he wanted to escape, for he might cause her to feel broken on the inside.

"Of course, I'm being serious." Zhang Yang pulled her closer and gently traced the side of her jaw. Both of them snickered with happiness and Zhang Yang laughed, "Come, give old daddy one more shot!"

"One more? Sure!" Yu Li's voice crack as she was already crying, but her cries turned into tears of joy. She punched Zhang Yang firm chest and gracefully slid her hands onto his crotch. "Let's go. One more!"

Zhang Yang was joking initially and did not know that Yu Li was being serious about putting Percy into the playpen again. If he had known earlier that Yu Li was still in the mood for more, he would rather take a beating to the face than ask for it!

As they were banging each other brains out, he thought of how to deal with Han Ying Xue and Sun Xin Yu. Perhaps, Han Ying Xue might verbally allow it, but she might sneak into his room in the middle of the night to snip his junk of and become a modern world's eunuch. As for Sun Xin Yu, she might just come up to him directly and blow his brains out with a shotgun.

Still, even if he had manages to make do with both women's anger, what about bedtime? The next time he does it, he might have to break 3 legs to entertain them all! 2 females are more than enough to break his spirit, adding one more to that equation might straight up break his spine.

Sigh… Hugh Hefner please help me…

Zhang Yang sighed heavily at the thought of satisfying three ladies in one night. But, no matter what, he would never try to reject any one of them!

Tok Tok Tok.

Just after Zhang Yang unleashed his load into Yu Li, a gentle knock was heard on the door.

Zhang Yang cocked his head and asked Yu Li. "Didn't you say that you're free for the morning?"

"That's right. I don't have any classes or appointment until the evening. Perhaps its something important," said Yu Li as she got off the now limp dragon. She quickly slid back into her laced thongs and tidied herself up. She ignored her bra and buttoned up her blouse. Just then, she noticed love marks all over her breasts. Her nipples perked up again at the thought of him slobbering all over her.

Zhang Yang on the other hand only needed to pull his pants back up, zip it, and he was good to go. Perhaps, he might need to dry his slightly wet pants. Zhang Yang laughed at his own drenched pants while Yu Li started bashfully stared at it. It was her doing when she had squirted all over him when Zhang Yang delivered her to heaven.

"Look here! Haha! There's someone outside waiting for you! Imagine what would they think if they saw me like this! I might be the one getting into trouble! I mean, I peed myself! Haha!"

The two of them quickly tidied the place up and made sure that it does not look like they had just banged each other brains out. On the other hand, Yu Li's radiant complexion was still there, no matter how hard Yu Li tried to hide it. She then waltzed to the door and opened it. It was Zhao Bin, the young, taller little girl who was on the verge of becoming a beautiful maiden. Yu Li was able to recognize her via her clothing since all triplets wore different sets of clothing.

"Miss Yu. We are about to host a barbeque party in the countryside to celebrate the starting of a new semester. Would you like to join us?" Zhao Bin. "Woah! Miss Yu! Your complexion is radiating with beauty! What kind of makeup did you use? Its effects are most invigorating!"

Zhang Yang chuckled quietly at her comment. "It's called being filled up with love my dear. Love brings life joy and that joy is being expressed out via her complexion!" said Zhang Yang to himself. Luckily, Yu Li office was huge enough to allow Zhang Yang to hide behind a cupboard, and out of the line of sight. After the two of them chatted for a little bit, Zhao Bin left and Zhang Yang came out to give Yu Li one last kiss before he went to the office in Silky Soft Holdings.

After he bade Yu Li goodbye, Zhang Yang left the campus and went to his office after a good shower. There, he joked around with the secretaries, locked the doors, and logged into 'God's Miracle' to continue the messenger quest.

As time passed, more and more players had entered the Chaos Realm. When Zhang Yang logged into the game, he noticed many players in Morning Town. Even the daily Teleportation fees had made Zhang Yang a rich man! Since China only had one territory in the Chaos Realm, Morning Town would be the only place to teleport to from the Ten Barren Sea to the Chaos Realm! It was a never-ending golden goose that would continue to lay many more golden eggs for Zhang Yang!

On the other hand, the Japan-Korea region players were having a tough time, since their own shortcut, Winst Castle had fallen into Zhang Yang's hands. Their own way to travel to the Chaos Realm was the Ten Barren Sea, which would take them close to 7 to 8 hours of swimming. The guild that was responsible to take back the territory, Sakura no Nagare Mae had become the clown of the year. Every day, countless of complaints would be thrown to them. Eventually, the guild members had to hide their name tag when they left town.

Before the war, Sakura no Nagare Mae was once the target for players of Japan to achieve. The guild was ranked 3rd in the entire country and many of them would be willing to spend their life savings just to enter. After the war, the guild had plummeted in the rankings and had become a laughing stock. Amao Kuyoshi, the guild leader had lowered the requirement of joining the guild, day by day. However, after the week, there were many players leaving and no players entering. Disbandment would only be a matter of time for him.

…

Han Ying Xue had come to a roadblock concerning her Inheritance quest, where she was required to kill a Level 150 Ethereal tier boss. The team was gathered to defeat the boss was but overwhelmed by it. Both Zhang Yang and Fatty Han had both used their Transformation skills, however, their attack had been suppressed greatly due to the immense level gap. Furthermore, even though Han Ying Xue and Fantasy Sweetheart were present to heal Zhang Yang, even they could not keep up with the overpowering boss. Zhang Yang had even tried to spam {Shield Wall} with every chance that he got, but had still failed to defeat the boss. The team only lasted for 3 to 4 minutes before perishing.

The boss was, after all, an S class Inheritance quest boss. Unless they could use a [Forbidden Scroll] that could greatly reduce the boss' attack, they might have to sortie the entire guild. Even so, it would still be a challenge since the boss' AoE attack was too strong. Hence, Han Ying Xue had to put her quest on hold.

It could not be helped. The S class Inheritances are just too difficult to obtain. Since the Inheritance was strong, the quest set to be completed would be proportionally difficult. It was to give a chance for players to choose lower classed Inheritance instead.

Right then, the most common and popular class of Inheritances was the C class.

Even B class Inheritance quests required players to defeat an Ethereal tier boss. Ethereal tiered bosses were already tough, to begin with and due to the immense level gap between players and the quest, defeating it required players to be at least 10 to 30 level above the level gap. On the contrary, C class Inheritances only required players to defeat a Level 130 Mythical boss. Since the requirement for players to enter the Chaos Realm was at Level 100, players had already gained enough power and level to defeat the boss with just a small party. That explained the popularity of a C class Inheritance.

On the other hand, C class Inheritances were the lowest of the classes that had the Transformation skill. It allowed players to still enjoy the heroic sensation of being able to take on 10 players or even 100 players at a time. Hence, many players that were too impatient to grind their ways to a higher level, and had focused on obtaining the C class Inheritance instead.

Even though the fragments were unable to be put up on the auction house, players could still sell them off via normal transactions. Right then, one piece of a C class Inheritance was worth roughly a million each. Zhang Yang was astonished at the fact that players were willing to burn a hole in their pockets just for the sake of an Inheritance Fragment.

Zhang Yang had been busy delivering messages and had neglected his grinding session. 10 days after he had procured the Milkmaid Inheritance Keepsake for Han Ying Xue, he had only managed to reach Level 106. Before that, he was at 80% of Level 105. In 10 days, he had only managed to accumulate 20% worth of experience points, which was truly slow.

Wei Yan Er had been taking the triplets to the villa's swimming pool on every alternate day of the week. Unfortunately, Zhang Yang had to become their instructor. There were many weird moments where he had accidentally touched places where he should not be touching, Zhao Bin would be gazing, not glaring, not looking, but gazing into Zhang Yang's eyes with her unfocused eyes.

Yu Li had chosen to postpone moving in with Zhang Yang. She was unable to leave her mother alone. Thus, she had professed to Zhang Yang that his intention alone was more than enough to please her heart for him. However still, she had called Zhang Yang many times in a week to help her ease her itch that only he could scratch.

…

After a few days, Zhang Yang had finally delivered the last magic orb letter. The delivery of the letters required no particular order. Zhang Yang only needed to look at the world map and plot his way into a complete circle to ease his journey. The last letter was addressed to an island called Diggea Island, located among the Islands of Camarro. The island had 3 of Marronda's lovers, which was the lowest number in a map. Hence, Zhang Yang had made it his last stop.

After crossing the ocean and several islands, Zhang Yang descended down to the island, outside a village. The village was located at the edge of the island. The people in the village were mostly fishermen, most of their houses had fishing nets being washed and hung up to dry. Zhang Yang asked around, delivered more letters and finally came to his final stop. The house in front of him was made of clay and there was a 40 year old, beautiful lady who was hanging her laundry outside. Her name was Waniaya, and she was the last NPC Zhang Yang had to deliver Marronda's letter to.

"Excuse me, Miss Waniaya!" cried Zhang Yang.

Waniaya stopped and turned around gracefully, saying, "How may I help you, a man from a distant land?"

Zhang Yang smiled and walked closer to her and passed her the magic orb letter. "Miss. I am here as a request from Marronda."

"Ah! That hooligan. He still remembers me?" Waniaya puffed angrily but there was a trace of jubilance in her eyes. After she held the orb in her hands, tears started to flow and tainted her fair face.

"*sob, that idiot. He said that he wanted to travel across the world, to search for treasures and discover the mysteries of the land. *sob*. In the end, he that dream killed him!" Waniaya cried in sorrow.

'Ding! You have completed the quest: Message for Waniaya . Obtained 10,000 Experience Points!'

Ah. What a drag. The experience points for running around, far and wide was only 10,000 experience points? It was far lesser than the experience points gained from killing a single normal tier monster! The player that had completed the quest in Zhang Yang past life must have been a lunatic!

Zhang Yang consoled the woman and said, "Madam, let those who have passed be free. I'm sure that Marronda would not want to see you like this."

Since the NPC had not promptly given him any subsequent quests, Zhang Yang had to do something to trigger the quest. He had to, or else the 90 letters would be for naught!

Waniaya nodded and wiped away her tears with her sleeves. "Young warrior. I'm sure you've had to travel everywhere to deliver that idiot's letters?"

"Hm? Letters?" asked Zhang Yang. How did the woman know about his quest?

"That pervert idiot must have thought that I was daft. I know that I am not his only "true love"," said Waniaya. "No matter. The man is dead now. Makes no sense for me to be angry now."

Zhang Yang laughed at her comment and said, "That's true. He is dead."

Waniaya eyes widened and she turned to Zhang Yang with a glint in her eyes. "Warrior. Do you know what I did for a living when I was younger?"

"Hmm? What is it?"

"When I was twenty years younger, I was a pirate. A captain at that. I had set sail to venture the ocean. Back then, there was none had not heard of the pirate "Poison Widow" and would be trembling with fear! Until one day, I met that idiot and made him my slave. In return, he had enslaved my soul. I had fallen in love with him and we had traveled the seas for a month. However, he had to leave me. Speaking of things like dreams and ambitions. It was painful for me, but I had to let him go."

Waniaya was mournful. Perhaps she had regretted the day she had agreed to let Marronda go. If she had not, perhaps, he would still be alive!

She paused for a while. "To have him back, I sneaked into the strongest pirate crew of my time, into the lair of Ditch, Leader of the Blackbeard Pirates and stole a map that led to his treasure chest. However, I was found. A search and kill order was placed on my head. Eventually, I had to bury the "Poison Widow" and hide here in this village. I wrote a letter to the man and told him about the treasure, hoping that one day he would come back to me to search the treasure together. However, I have been waiting for so long and never saw a trace of his shadow."

Treasure Map!? That is the one! It should be the link to trigger the Legendary Main story quest!

From out of nowhere, Waniaya took out a piece of goatskin paper parchment and said, "Now that he is dead, I have no reason to keep this with me. Warrior. I give this to you. However, I must tell you this. This map is only half of the complete map. Ditch has the other half. Back then, he only had this half of the map. Now, I heard news that he had just found the other half. Warrior. Ditch is currently still searching throughout the world for this other half. If you want to have the complete map, you must go to his lair and steal the other half from him!"

'Ding! Waniaya has a quest for you: The Pirate's Treasure Map. Will you accept it? '

Hell yeah! It was a possibility of triggering a Legendary Main Story quest!

Chapter 555: Baroque Island

Translator:EndlessFantasy Translation

Editor:EndlessFantasy Translation

[The Pirate's Treasure Map] (Difficulty Level: S)

Description: You have acquired half of a treasure map. The other half of the map is in the hands of Ditch, Leader of the Blackbeard Pirates. Complete the map and you may have a chance of owning the treasure chest that belonged to the legendary Pirate King Roger. Be advised, Ditch is not an easy foe to deal with. Numerous residents of the Camarro Islands have heard the name and would advise you to leave. Consider your options carefully and react accordingly.

Completion: Obtained the Complete Pirate's Treasure Map 0/1

Zhang Yang frowned at the description of the quest log. They had left out a crucial detail for him to proceed on with the quest. The location of the pirate's lair. Luckily, Zhang Yang had not yet left Waniaya's side. He could simply ask her about it.

"The Blackbeard Pirates lair is located on the Baroque Island. I must warn you. The island is completed surrounded by reefs. You might lose your sheep if you're not too careful there." Waniaya started talking about the location of Ditch's lair. "That's the reason why the Blackbeard Pirates have always been able to conduct their activities without being caught or toppled over. There were many merchants who frequented the pass. Rich ones at that too, and they had hired mercenaries to take down the Blackbeard Pirates, but none had ever succeeded."

Zhang Yang nodded his head. Reefs or cliffs matters not to a player since they had flying mounts to fly directly to the island. Even if they have to rely on boats and ships, the could give it a try. If they fail and die, they could just revive on the spot and will probably appear directly on the island.

Zhang Yang bade farewell to Waniaya and summoned his Thunderhawk. The blue bird zoomed over the beautiful emerald sea and reached its destination. The island was more like a mainland. Zhang Yang was high in the sky and could not see an end to the island. The one thing that did not seem to match the image of a pirate's island was the beautiful forest that grew wildly, on and on. It was more like a holiday beach where people can put down a long chair and enjoy basking in the sun.

Zhang Yang glanced at his world map to estimate his general location and was surprised to see that the island was not on the map. It was so odd that Zhang Yang could not help but to do a little experiment. He asked Han Ying Xue to put on the Lover's Charm and use it to teleport to him. Right then, Han Ying Xue was unable to see the location of the island where she was teleporting to. After Zhang Yang had Han Ying Xue join his party, the map was revealed to her.

"Like magic!" cried Han Ying Xue.

The island was probably made to only allow players who had accepted the quest to locate. That, or other random players who had no relations to the quest would be seeing the endless sea and not an island.

After having her fun, Han Ying Xue groaned and said that she wanted to grind a little more with Wei Yan Er. She teleported away, leaving Zhang Yang to do his own business. Zhang Yang flew up to the sky, towards the center of the island. Just as he flew over a sea of trees, a cloud of dark bits shot out from the ground, towards him. By the time he noticed that the dark bits were arrows, he had taken several shots and had the Thunderhawk perform a U-turn in the air. Only when he left the forest, did the attacks stop. Each of the arrows had dealt 1,000 damage to him. He found it weird, and circled around for another pass, but when he got closer, the arrow attacks came again.

Zhang Yang took a good look at the arrows and found that they were long, wooden needles that look like the gigantic spikes of a cactus. They were not real arrows. Zhang Yang then descended down on land tried to walk on foot. Weirdly enough, the arrows did not rain down on him.

Zhang Yang then came to realize that it was a system that prevented players from flying in the air. They would have to get to their targets by foot!

Even though each arrow could deal only 1,000 damage, he would still receive a few million damage if he had stayed airborne for a few more seconds. Zhang Yang would still die within a few seconds, even if he had used the God of War Transformation. He had also tried using {Shield Wall} to block it, but still receive the same amount of damage. It seemed like the "arrows" had completely disregarded all form of defensive skills.

After walking for a few kilometers, Zhang Yang found the source of the projectiles. It came from the sky scrapping trees. Zhang Yang had not seen such species of floras before. They had many stick-like tendrils that were growing in large numbers on the branches. They were a few feet long and were only as thick as chopsticks. It was these trees that had attacked Zhang Yang from before. The problem came next when Zhang Yang found that there was not one, not two, but countless of those trees growing on the entire island itself, turning the entire island into a strictly, no-fly-zone.

If he has to walk on land, he will walk on land.

The no-fly-zone was not really absolute. It had a few blind spots. Zhang Yang could give minute instructions for the Thunderhawk to hover a few meters above the ground. Any higher than the trees themselves, and they would "throw" their chopsticks at him, turning him into a pincushion before Zhang Yang can even use {Shield Wall}.

Those sky-scraping trees were grown to be a form of natural aerial defense. Since the trees were so densely packed, there was no chance for him to dodge and roll in the air. If Zhang Yang chops the trees down first, he could remove them from sight and fly. However, who knows if the giant trees were capable of melee combat as well.

Zhang Yang went around the forest and circled the island by its borders, where the sea met the beach. He found a small, derelict harbor where a small boat was parked in. On the side, there was two unoccupied wooden hut.

There was a small walkway that led towards the forest behind the huts. Just as Zhang Yang had was about to walk down the pathway, Han Ying Xue and Wei Yan Er had roared in the chat, asking him to "pull" them over to his side. Their reason? To help him in his quest.

Verbally, they did say that they were here to help. However, Zhang Yang easily saw through them. These two girls were hot-headed brats who easily get bored. Perhaps, Han Ying Xue had told Wei Yan Er about the magic island and the latter had coaxed her into coming to the island.

Then again, Zhang Yang could use the company of the girls. Especially when these two exceled at making some noise to kill off boredom. He then summoned them over to the island with the [Party Summon Order]. Zhang Yang explained the situation of the island and they rode their mounts and ran or flew close to ground level.

The forest was too quiet to be normal. The trio had traveled or a long time and did not find any monsters. There were no annoying bug noises, or the sound of tree leaves rustling against the wind. They only saw tall trees among more tall trees. The deafening silence had turned the forest extremely eerie.

"Sigh…When am I going to get my S class Inheritance?!" cried Han Ying Xue. She had obtained the Keepsake, done the quest, but was now stuck at a powerful boss. It was so near, yet so far away.

"Sister…are you mocking me?! I had it worse, okay?" Wei Yan Er puffed her cheek. "The S class Inheritance has been stolen by a noobie tank! Now, I can't even get hold of a A class Inheritance!"

Zhang Yang pretended not to hear, but he was listening to their conversation. It was best to keep quiet and lay low. If he agitates Wei Yan Er, the little girl would surely bug him till kingdom comes. If he continues acting dumb, she would forget all about it like a goldfish. However, Zhang Yang replied to Han Ying Xue's worries. "Don't think about taking on the boss before any one of us reaches Level 120. We should at least stand a chance now, if we have a few Forbidden Scrolls that could either reduce the boss' attack, or increase our party damage."

"Level 120?! That's like half a year from now! Ahhhh!" Han Ying Xue let out a frustrated cry, followed by a sulky face.

The trio continued on further, chatting along the way and found themselves out of the thick greens and into a spacious flatland. The grass that they were stepping on was soft and short. There were herds of wild horses, and cows that were grazing on the grass peacefully. However, there will still a few of the "shooter" trees peppered sparsely around the field. They would still get shot if they were fly in the sky. Even though the trees were far less numerous now, the ammo capacity of each tree exceeded 10,000. A single tree would bring them all down.

The three moved on. Wei Yan Er even purposely rode closer to the herds, scaring them away, causing a mild stampede.

"RAWR!"

From the corner of the field, there was a pride of lionesses coming out of the edge of the forest and growling. All of them charged towards Zhang Yang and the two girls, ready to maul and devour.

[Baroque Lioness] (Elite, Beast)

Level: 122

HP: 1,220,000

Defense: 1,300

Melee Attack: 8,364 – 10,064

Skill:

[Maul: Mauls the target and grants a chance to tear away a part of target's Defense. Deals 150% melee physical attack.

[Suffocate: Bites a target's throat, suffocating the target. Channeling required for 10 seconds. Immediate death will be inflicted once the channeling is completed. 50,000 damage or higher will enable the caster to be interrupted.

[Cry: When in danger, the lioness will cry for help and summons a stronger Lion to rescue.

Note: Baroque Grassland's strongest beast. That is…if there were no earth worm dragons, two headed hydra hawks, and the berserking elephant.

Wei Yan Er had acquired a new weapon, she had been unsatisfied about the normal tier monsters who had fallen beneath her overpowered axe. Now that there was a pride of elite tier lionesses waiting for her, the little girl got fired up. She rushed over to the pride and swung her axe to deal over 18,000 damage with just a normal attack. Her Rage gauge was filled up instantly.

{Tornado Cleave}!

Shush! She twisted and turned in the air, swinging her axe around like a mini tornado and dealt more than 30,000 damage to all 10 lionesses.

The little girl got even more excited. She completely ignored Zhang Yang and swung her axe around as if it weighed as much as a wooden stick.

"RAWR!" All the lioness took only Wei Yan Er's damage and focused all their aggro on her. One by one, they did not wait for their turns and leaped at the little girl to maul her.

What a stupid little girl…

Zhang Yang sighed and zoomed towards her, leading his Thunderhawk which was flying only a few feet above the ground. With a quick flap of its wide blue wings, all 10 lionesses had taken 3,000 damage from an electric attack.

Since Zhang Yang was mounting the hawk, all of its attacks would generate aggro on Zhang Yang. However, the little girl attacks were too strong to begin with. Sending out a {Thunder blade} right after her {Tornado Cleave}, dealing a total of over 60,000 damage in the span of 4 seconds. Her aggro generation rate was too fast for even the Thunderhawk's {Violet Thunder Slayer} to keep up with.

Zhang Yang quickly cast {Sacrifice} on the little girl and took all the damage that the lionesses had dealt to her. Thanks to all that damage taken, he had no need to work on filling up his Rage gauge any further.

{Horizontal Sweep}!

'-52,446!'

'-59,232!'

'-105,422!'

'-55,676!'

…

After one blast, came another blast as the sword's echoing effect was triggered. All the lionesses took over 50,000 damage while some were critical strikes, dealing over 100,000 damage.

After the sword had stopped blasting about, all the lioness had diverted their attack towards Zhang Yang instead.

Shush Shush Shush!

Wei Yan Er was not done. The {Thunder Blade} skill lasts for 6 seconds in total. Each second, the skill would deal one attack equivalent to the weapon's attack power. When {Thunder Blade} ended, were a few of the lioness turned back to the little girl.

Zhang Yang remained calm. When {Sacrifice} ended, Zhang Yang casually fired out his {Blast Wave} and stunned all the monsters that were targeting Wei Yan Er. The sword's effect procced again and dealt a total of 6,000 damage .

Zhang Yang did not stop there. He had to keep track of the aggro on all the monsters to make sure that they were attacking him, and not the little girl. He then used all of his and the Thunderhawk's AoE attack skills to take over the aggro.

"What a party pooper!" When Wei Yan Er had spun around enough, she noticed that she no longer retained any aggro on any of the monsters. She shrugged and sulked at Zhang Yang's best efforts at trying to protect her.

Chapter 556: Lion's Pride

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

RAWR!

Three lionesses leaped at Zhang Yang and pinned him down to the ground. The one closer to his face opened its large mouth and sank its fangs into his throat. The pounce attack was fast and strong. Zhang Yang had been too busy dealing with the other lioness and had not paid attention to the ones behind his back.

Those three lionesses were not light, obviously. However, Zhang Yang had remained standing, carrying their weight.

It was the monster's certain kill skill. {Suffocate}!

If he does not do anything, the skill will deal the instant Death effect on after 10 seconds. It cannot be stopped with any Defense, or any amount of HP!

Zhang Yang grunted. He could feel the fangs in his throats digging its way further into his voice box. Zhang Yang bashed his shield against the lioness' head but the lioness would not budge. On the hand, Zhang Yang only made the lioness to sink its fangs deeper into his throat. The skill description had explained that only attacks dealing 50,000 damage or higher could interrupt the skill. Any supporting attacks would not be effective.

50,000 damage? Not a problem. One {Horizontal Sweep} could easily fix the problem. There was still 3 seconds to {Horizontal Sweep's} cooldown, hence, Zhang Yang ran around attacking other lionesses while waiting for the cooldown to finish. Although it was painful for Zhang Yang, Han Ying Xue and Wei Yan Er could not help but to laugh at his funny appearance.

"Dummy! The lion's coat does suit you! You might even start a trend if you start wearing this in real life!"

"Noob tank! You're looking like you're actually having fun with the lionesses!" cried Wei Yan Er as she rolled on the floor, laughing.

"Witch…I'll smack your butt red when I'm done with this!" said Zhang Yang. The cooldown was completed just in time and Zhang Yang activated the skill and dealt more than 50,000 to all three lionesses that were "hanging" onto Zhang Yang.

"Auughh!" The lionesses groaned and finally released Zhang Yang. Their golden fur was tainted with splashes of red.

"HMPH!" Zhang Yang grunted as four more lionesses leaped on him. Luckily, only four that could bite his throat at one time. If one more leaped at him, it might have to find some other place to sink its fangs in. There was a limit to how long and thick his neck was anyway.

"Hahahahahaha!" Wei Yan Er dropped to the floor and laughed again.

What a useless team mate!

Zhan Yang sighed. He had just used {Horizontal Sweep} and the cool down was 10 seconds. It was just the same as {Suffocate}'s channeling time.

Fortunately, even without {Horizontal Sweep}, he could still inflict a high damage attack. The little girl may be useless in this instance, but the Thunderhawk and Felice would not stand by and let their master die.

However, as per the rules of the game, his throat had been bitten, hence, he could not even speak. However, it did not matter, since he could mentally command the Thunderhawk to attack the lionesses. On the other hand, Battle Companions would have to listen to a master's verbal command to communicate. Since he could not speak, he could not command Felice to save him.

Unlike the little girl, Felice was more proactive. The 10 seconds of the lionesses' {Suffocate}, was enough for the both the Thunderhawk and Felice to deal more than 200,000 damage. Technically, it should have already breach the threshold of the required damage to break the channeling 4 times. However, their attacks were divided into multiple hits instead of one strong hit. Luckily, Zhang Yang was still able to land a few strong hits himself, killing them off before they could finish their certain kill skill channeling.

"Well, I'll say, this place is not suitable for solo grinding!" Han Ying Xue sighed.

It takes 50,000 damage in an instance, per monster to interrupt the channeling of {Suffocate}. Zhang Yang had the ability to deal that much damage to free himself from the grasp of death, due to this God of War Inheritance, and a Mythical tier battle mount and Battle Companion. On the other hand, the lionesses always came in packs. If a random team of 5 players had encountered a pride of 10 lionesses, there would be 90% chance that they would die. After all, to pull all 10 elite monsters together, and tank powerful barrages of attacks, would require tanks of a certain caliber. Sadly, there were too few of them in the game at the moment.

If the tank is not sufficiently equipped, it would take at least 3 or 4 tanks in a group to tank the lionesses.

Now that they had one problem solved, the battle with the remaining lionesses were much easier. Zhang Yang started to use supporting attacks to smack down the incoming lionesses before they could sink their fangs into his throat. All normal attacks were nullified and only skills struck him, which barely did any damage.

Han Ying Xue was rather relaxed during the fight. She felt that Zhang Yang had finally started to treat her like a real wife and would not want her to be in too much trouble.

The fight continued and when one of the lionesses was damaged till it was left with only 20% HP, it ran a distance away from them and let out a deafening cry that reached the end of the field.

As if it was made of lightning, two, much more imposing, larger lions had dashed out from the forest to rescue their harem. The lions stood in front of the females and growled fiercely at Zhang Yang and the two ladies.

[Baroque Lion King] (Yellow-Gold, Beast)

Level: 125

HP: 3,750,000

Defense: 2,120

Melee Attack: 9,257 – 13,257

Skills:

[Maul: Mauls the target and grants a chance to tear away at a target's Defense. Deals 150% melee physical attack.

[Suffocate: Bites a target's throat, suffocating the target. Channeling required for 10 seconds. Immediate death will be inflicted once the channeling is completed. 100,000 damage or higher interrupt the caster.

Note: Every pride of lions would have 1 to 3 male lions. Even though the Lion King will not join in the hunt, it has the power to protect those to seek to harm the pride.

The male lions were huge; measuring close to 2 meters tall and 6 to 7 meters long. The wild, golden manes caught the wind that blew across the field, waving about.

Wei Yan Er's eyes widened with a certain glint and cried, "Woah! I've always wanted to rear one of them!"

"Little girl, you can't even take care of yourself, yet you wish to take care of a pet? I bet that it will die after one night with you!" Zhang Yang snickered.

"Hmph! Stupid! Idiot! Wei Yan Er stomped her feet, just like a little girl. If only she was 13 or 15 years old, her behavior would be acceptable. But she was 18! 18 years old! A university student at that!

"*ahem* Am I the only one here that is normal?" Han Ying Xue shouted at the top of her lungs. Zhang Yang was rather shocked at her sudden cry and turned to her. "That's two bosses right there! God! How are we going to beat them where they can just summon out random bosses?!"

Zhang Yang eyes widened and he laughed. "You freaked me out…Don't worry about the boss. It's just a Yellow-Gold boss. Treat it as an elite tier monster!"

"Easier said than done!" Han Ying Xue pouted her lips in protest.

Zhang Yang had reason to say that the Yellow-Gold boss were almost the same as the elite lionesses. The skills they had were about the same, while the Yellow-Gold boss had stronger attacks, higher {Maul} skill damage, and 100,000 damage to interrupt the boss' {Suffocate}.

100,000 damage may be high, but it was proportionate to the Level 100 map Yellow-Gold boss prowess. Any Yellow-Gold boss above Level 60 maps was just a decorative ornament. As for a normal, average team, it may prove to be a challenge, but for Zhang Yang, Wei Yan Er, and Han Ying Xue, the bosses were here to give free equipment!

Zhang Yang sudden had a thought. In his previous life, Zhang Yang had never heard of the name Baroque Islands. Technically, if there were random Yellow-Gold boss appearing so frequency, this place would be a treasure cove! There had to be more prides of lionesses in the flatlands. Every pride would have a few Yellow-Gold boss Lion Kings guarding the pride! More prides, more Lion Kings. More Lion Kings, more equipment!

If Yellow-God bosses were spawning like regular monsters, Violet-Platinum bosses should not be too far ahead! Zhang Yang had not yet proven the theory to be true, but if it was the case, the island would be a treasure island! Even though the island was huge, and the number of bosses fitting to complement its vastness, why had no guild ever occupied the island in his previous life? Such a lucrative money-making island should have been famous!

No matter how hard he thought about it, he had never heard of the island name itself!

So be it, once the quest is completed, the truth should be revealed.

"RAAWRRR!" the lions roared and charged at Zhang Yang. It bared its fangs out at Zhang Yang, ready to mangle him from limb to limb. Each of its fangs were so long and sharp that they looked like Sun Xin Yu's daggers.

Zhang Yang planted his feet deep into the ground and forcefully knocked the lions away with his shield, via supporting attacks. His original Strength value could rival that of a Level 125 Yellow-Gold boss. Paired with Wei Yan Er's Strength Aura, it granted a bonus to Zhang Yang Strength, giving Zhang Yang the ability to bash the beasts away.

"Rawr!" The lions got back to their feet and leaped towards Zhang Yang again. The other remaining lionesses joined in together and attacked Zhang Yang as a pride.

Shush!

Zhang Yang casted {Horizontal Sweep} and dealt a wave of 50,000 damage to every monster there. The sword procced its skill and blasted another wave of {Horizontal Sweep}, almost sending all the lionesses to their last 20% HP.

The little girl cried in excitement and activated her skill {Indiscriminate} and {Tornado Cleave} after. With a swift blow, all monsters that had 20% HP or lower were instantly struck by Wei Yan Er's attack, taking more than 60,000 damage critical hits.

Wan Yan Er sighed disgruntledly and said, "Sigh. My critical hit is still weaker than the noobie tank's {Horizontal Sweep}! How sad!"

Zhang Yang shook his head. "Little girl, {Horizontal Sweep} is a 200% weapon attack skill. A Level 10 {Tornado Cleave} will only deliver 170% weapon attack. Then again, I have 50% extra damage boost from the God of War Inheritance. That is why my {Horizontal Sweep} is much stronger than your {Tornado Cleave}."

"Hmph. I see. In that case, I will get an A class Inheritance for myself, and get a strong skill that would deal AoE by 200% or 300% weapon attack! Haha! I will dominate the field then! Noobie tank! You've had your time, it's my turn!" said Wei Yan Er proudly.

"Haha. It's best for you to keep that in your heart. Aren't you scared of me slacking off? If you hit too hard, I won't be able to hold on to their aggros."

"Haha! You may slack, but my cousin sister has told me. If you dare to bully me, she will turn you into a dried up corpse!"

Zhang Yang frowned. Did that b*tch just teach her little cousin sister how to threaten him!?

Chapter 557: Mountain Rat

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Two Yellow-Gold tier joined the pride but it did not help to ensure their survivability.

After some time, Wei Yan Er and Han Ying Xue completely forgot about their Battle Companions. The little girl had genuinely forgotten about her Battle Companion, while Han Ying Xue was annoyed at the big pervert's dirty talk. That being said, Messick's attack was rather low, and since Zhang Yang was here to tank the monsters, she had no reason to summon Messick out to the field. She would only be giving a chance for the big pervert to make a move on her.

After 4 minutes, the party of three surrounded the dead bodies of the lion and lionesses. It's a shame that beast monsters do not have the tendency of dropping coins. Instead, they had dropped many ETC type items such as their fangs, mane, leather, and other useless items that would end up being sold to an NPC merchant. Still, the money obtained from selling them would be equivalent to that of gold drops.

However, ETC items were not equal to their value in gold. They take up inventory space, and that alone makes them far less desirable. If players were to grind for a long period of time, they might have to eventually pass up on them!

Zhang Yang did not have the slightest interest in picking up items that were worth several silver coins. On the other hand, the two money mongers were furious since there was no "real" money dropping from the lions. Luckily, the two Yellow-Gold bosses were kind enough to not drop any Gray-Silver equipment but 5 Yellow-Gold tier equipment. Selling them for 500 gold coins apiece should not be much problem.

Even though Zhang Yang had surmised that the island could be a potential treasure cove, the money generation rate was still lower than the Little Merchandize Shop and the Mining Cave. Still, free stuff was up for grabs, why would he not take it then!

The party continued to move forwards and came across another pride of lionesses after just 10 minutes. This time, the pride of lionesses had only summoned one boss. Zhang Yang suddenly thought up of a funny joke and he messaged Han Ying Xue privately. "Hey, the male lion is quite a stud, don't you think? He, alone was able to "handle" so many female lionesses and is still standing strong! I wish I could be like him!"

Han Ying Xue playfully glared at him. "Perhaps you think that two of us are not enough for you. Are you planning to expand your den? Hmph. Those Zhao triplets could work. I'd say, if you just point your fingers at them, they would surely be following you like they're the mice and you're the Pied Piper!"

Zhang Yang merely laughed, but he knew that deep down, the woman was furious. It would be best for him to leave it as a casual joke. He also knew that the woman was jealous of them, since they had been coming to the pool on every alternate day and Zhang Yang would go on serving as their swimming instructor.

The three of them moved up the field, killed many more lions and finally came out of the flatlands. A few hundred meters away were waves of hills and mountains. The mountains were not too high. At most, the tallest one should be around 200 meters tall. The mountains, however, were filled with the "shooter trees", which covered them from base to peak. It was impossible for Zhang Yang and the two ladies to use their flying mounts.

As they walked on, Wei Yan Er turned and look behind. She laughed, "I think we did something good for the horsies and cows. They can now safely graze the field!"

"Heh. Elite monsters will respawn in 5 hours time. I think, we may have only provided them with a short period of peace before they run around again!" said Zhang Yang as a matter-of-factly.

"Nyeh. You don't know how to be romantic, noobie tank!" said Wei Yan Er as she forcefully smacked his back.

The three of them moved up to the first hill. After just the first few steps, they came across an entity that had a grayish appearance. It was surprisingly as large as a fully grown German Shepard. It had a full coat of short fur, four short limbs, and a long tail that was a thick as its head. From a distance, the critter looked like it was a long black snake.

The critter moved so swiftly that Zhang Yang only managed to catch its shadow. Before he could turn his head and track its movements, Han Ying Xue screamed as the critter had already stabbed her fair legs with its long white teeth.

"F*ck you!" Zhang Yang lunged at the critter and bashed the critter with his shield. He stood to protect Han Ying Xue and said, "F*ck off, you! Don't you know, only I can use my mouth at that region!" Zhang Yang turned back and grinned.

Han Ying Xue was panting and slapped Zhang Yang's shoulder. "Hmph! Pervert!" Han Ying Xue rolled her eyes.

"Chi Chi!" The critter squeaked and came back at them. Now, everyone had a clear glimpse of it.

[Baloque Giant Rat] (Elite, Beast)

Level: 105

HP: 1,050,000

Defense: 1,100

Melee Attack: 6,881 – 7,841

Skills:

[Fang Bite: Bites a target's legs and deals 150% melee physical attack. Target will be immobilized for 10 seconds.

Note: The Baloque Giant Rats are famous for their long sharp teeth. There's nothing that they can't chew off!"

"RAAAA!!!" Han Ying Xue screamed and jumped into Zhang Yang's embrace. Zhang Yang frantically corrected his balance, laughing.

Wei Yan Er was surprisingly calm. Intrigued, the little girl glared at the giant rat and asked, "Hmph…such a big rat. It's quite rare to see one that big. Hey, if we rear one at home, would any cat dare to eat it?"

"Chi!" the giant rat squeaked. Like a giant boar, the rat sprinted towards Zhang Yang and bared its long sharp teeth, preparing to bite Zhang Yang.

From the looks of it, the rat was aiming at his crotch. Zhang Yang frowned at the thought of having his magnum getting bitten. It was different compared when Han Ying Xue did it back then. That was a love bite, a pleasant pain, as if he was between both ecstasy and pain. However, if the rat bites it, he might have to prepare giving up on "Happy Father's Day."

Zhang Yang immediately pulled his leg back and soccer kicked the rat. The poor rodent was sent flying off into the sky.

"Stupid perverted rat! Prepare to meet your maker!" Zhang Yang ran to the area where the rat was projected to fall, and slashed the rat in midair, like a baseball.

Han Ying Xue laughed and teased, "Hey dummy. The rat could be a female! Didn't you want to make a harem? Think about it. You can take the rat home, and teach her how to swim. Perhaps, one day, the rat will bear you many children. Didn't you watch ? There are so many beautiful Rat Spirits around!"

Zhang Yang was at a loss for words.

After Zhang Yang had attacked the rat, Wei Yan Er leaped in and joined the attack. With the combined forces of two battle mounts and two Battle Companions, the rat was killed quickly. The party moved on and encountered more similar rats. Whenever one appeared, Han Ying Xue will never fail to scream and jump into Zhang Yang's arms.

After crossing the mountains with little to no danger, they reached the peak. The top of the mountain had been flattened. So flat that it seemed like someone or something had chopped the top triangular head of the mountain off. The flat area of the peak was wide and large, and unmistakably white, like a huge stage.

At an edge of the flat peak, there was a rat that was as big as an elephant. Unlike its smaller brethren, this colossus rat was rather grand and beautiful. It's fur was silky smooth and had a little glint of violet platinum luster. It was not as disgusting like its smaller brethren, but far more ferocious and grand.

[Baloque Giant Rat King] (Violet-Platinum, Beast)

Level: 109

HP: 10,900,000

Defense: 2,820

Melee Attack: 13,410 – 17,410

Skills:

[Fang Bite: Bites a target's legs and deals 150% melee physical attack. Target will be immobilized for 10 seconds.

[Hide: The Giant Rat King will dig underground and hide underground when its HP reached 10%. Will restore HP. Channeling: 1 second. Can be interrupted.

Note: The King of all of Baloque Giant Rats. Its sharp teeth can bite through even the toughest of steel.

Zhang Yang had a happy glint in his eyes and he cried out happily. "Looks like we've hit the jackpot!"

"What are you talking about? It's just a Violet-Platinum boss. It's not a Mythical tier anyway." Wei Yan Er asked.

"Hehehe. Stupid little girl." Zhang Yang pat and rubbed Wei Yan Er head. "Pay attention to the boss' level. It's only Level 109! That means, the equipment it drops will be Level 100. The kind of which we can immediately equip! Don't keep thinking about Mythical bosses. How many Mythical boss can you find nowdays?"

For Zhang Yang and those around his level, Level 100 Mythical tier equipment were far more precious compared to Level 110, or Level 120 Violet-Platinum equipment. Level 100 equipment could be equipped right away and the rest would have to wait until they reach the appropriate level requirement. By the time they reach Level 110, or Level 120, they would already be targeting Mythical tier equipment! Hence, the significant factor about the giant rat was not its level, but the level of the equipment that it would drop!

"Huh." Wei Yan Er crossed her arms and nodded. "So, what you are saying is that a Mythical tier boss would drop equipment. However, unless the equipment they drop has a special effect that lowers the equipment Level requirement, it would make no sense to fight the boss then. Correct?"

"Haha! That's a way to put it. Since when has the little girl became so smart?"

Wei Yan Er scoffed and spotted something. "Hey! Hey! Hey! Look! Look!" The little girl pointed at something beside of the boss.

Zhang Yang and Han Ying Xue focused their sight at where Wei Yan Er was pointing at and saw a tiny, palm size rat that scampering around. The little rat had a violet-platinum fur coat. From that distance, anyone could mistake it for a violet colored ferret. It was undoubtedly cute.

[Juvenile Gold Biter Rat] (Violet-Platinum Mount)

Level: 0

HP: 50

"That's a Violet-Platinum mount!" all of them cried out at the same time. Zhang Yang laughed and said, "Hohoho. It's a good mount right there. That's probably the strongest mount so far. Sadly, it's just a regular mount and not a flying mount!"

Han Ying Xue shook her head and said, "I think its strong. Most of our battles are still occurring on the ground. There aren't many aerial battles nowadays. Besides, a flying mount is only good for traveling!"

Technically, almost 99% of all battles took place on the ground. In PvE fights, there would hardly be any difference for flying mount or regular mounts. The importance of a mount was its attack power. During PvP however, a flying mount user would have the aerial dominance over the other user. If they are about to be killed, they could jump on their flying mount to buy some time. In which, in a similar situation, a player with no flying mount would have to face their defeat.

Zhang Yang laughed and pushed Han Ying Xue lightly. "Go and catch it, then!"

Han Ying Xue squeaked a little and shook her head rapidly. No matter how small or cute the little critter was, Han Ying Xue could never accept it. For her, it would always be an annoying, disgusting rat! That being said, Han Ying Xue was a healer. She had no need to be at the front lines to attack. Having this battle mount would not do any good for her.

However, if the little critter is of a magic attack type, Han Ying Xue might still able to attack from the rear. However, based on the stats of the giant rat king, the little rat there would probably be a physical attack type.

Wei Yan Er already had a Violet-Platinum Flying Mount, the White Tiger. Zhang Yang had the Mythical tier Thunderhawk. Both of them had no need for the mount. Zhang Yang then called Hundred Shots and the rest of his friends over, "Hey guys, I have here, a Violet-Platinum regular mount. Anyone interested in taking it?"

"WOAH! Boss, I want! I'm interested!"

"Little Yang. Let me have it! Endless, you f*ck off!"

"I'm interested. I want to upgrade my mount!"

Everyone flooded up the party channel and contested for it. Even though there were many mounts in the Chaos Realm, they were mostly Gray-Silver, and Yellow-Gold. Violet-Platinum tier mounts were still a rare hunt.

As the party chat were heading nowhere, Zhang Yang decided to make things easier for them. "The mount is suitable for melee attack types. Hunters should not join in, since it would effect your own character's balance. When you're still fighting, the pet dies, and vice-versa. Let the melee classes have it."

Since Hunters have [Beast Taming] skill, they could use their battle mount as a pet to attack, just like Zhang Yang and his Thunderhawk. On the other hand, it made Hunter's lose their advantage of gaining the HP boost. It was fairly important to have high HP when facing a strong boss with powerful AoE skills. Besides that, separating both Hunter and their pets will split the target in two, increasing the load for the healers.

Secondly, if a battle mount is used as a pet to attack, the hunter's original pet will be ignored, causing the Hunter to lose its primary attack power.

Hence, Hunters should only aim for ranged attack type battle mounts. In that case, the hunter could mount his battle pet and in the same time, use the class-specific pet to attack. That way, it would fully utilize the Hunter's special class advantage.

Fatty Han obediently listened to Zhang Yang and withdrew from the raffle draw. Hundred Shots was in luck. Just a few days back, he had caught himself a Violet-Platinum Windy Wolf mount. It was a magic attack type and could cast wind blades that strike from a distance. Its attack power was on par with Wei Yan Er's Winged Tiger. Hence, Hundred Shots withdrew from the raffle draw as well.

Eventually, only Endless Starlight, Lost Dream, and Mountain Mover rolled for the mount. The winner was Mountain Mover, but Zhang Yang did not immediately summon him over. After all, Zhang Yang would have to defeat the boss first before capturing the little critter.

"Let's go!" Zhang Yang did not need to make any preparations. It was just a Violet-Platinum boss. If he still had [Berserker's Heal] he would not even need come up with any game plan. The boss had only two skills. The first was an attacking type and the second was a healing skill that could be interrupted! It's nothing but a walk in the park.

"CHI!" The Rat King squeaked so loudly that Zhang Yang's ear drums rang long after.

Despite being as large as an elephant, the rat's movement speed was as fast as lightning. With a quick scurry, the rat had rushed towards Zhang Yang! He did not even have any spare second to activate {Charge}!

Both the rat and the Guardian started duking it out. The little girl waited for a bit and entered the battle with her axe raised high in the air to strike down on the rat from the sky.

Zhang Yang, Felice, and Thunderhawk produced an explosive DPS that went over 40,000. The little girl had equipped her new axe and had upgraded her DPS limit to over 60,000! Just 3 minutes into the battle, the party had hacked away the Rat King's HP below 10%. With a quick cast of {Crash Magic}, the Rat King's digging animation was interrupted. Zhang Yang delivered a barrage of attacks and finished the poor King off.

Chapter 558: The 12 Chinese Zodiacs

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The loot that was dropped by the boss was worth looking forward to. There should be some Level 100 Violet-Platinum Tier equipment to pick up. These equipment should be able to provide his party members some quick, short-termed power-ups, as they would be able to instantly equip these equipment without having to wait.

Wei Yan Er was as impatient as ever, as were her hands. Even before the corpse of the boss had touched the ground, she had already picked up every single piece of loot, including the coins of course, from the ground. This little brat then grinned like a money grubber.

The boss dropped a total of 4 equipment. One was a pair of pale-greenish leather pants, another was a pair of gray-silver cloth armor gloves, the other one was a long bow made from animal bones, and the last one was an earthly yellow heavy armor helmet.

Right before Wei Yan Er was about to display the equipment, one piece after another, Zhang Yang, however, said, "Little brat, just ignore those Yellow-Gold equipment already and stop wasting time!"

"Tsk!" Wei Yan Er pursed her lips as she wanted to start by posing the links to the Yellow-Gold equipment just to tantalize Zhang Yang and Han Ying Xue. Since that Zhang Yang had said it out loud to skip the Yellow-Gold equipment, it would have been pointless for her to do that anymore.

So, the leather pants and the cloth armor gloves were shoved straight into Zhang Yang's inventory without being inspected by any of them at all. What a tragic fate these two equipment had.

The three of them began to turn their attention towards the long bow.

[Regrudge, Ancient Skeletal Bow] (Violet-Platinum, Bow) (1)

Ranged Attack: 1,582 - 2,182

Attack Interval: 3.6 seconds

DPS: 672

Equip: Adds 7% damage.

Equip: Adds 0.7% Critical Rate

Equip: When you hit a target, there is a chance of increasing your Attack Speed by 10%. Lasts for 10 seconds. The effect cannot stack.

{Unidentified}

Required Level: 100

Note: According to legend, Regrudge was a strange beast in the ancient time. It was powerful and always thirsty for blood. The beast was then slain by a brave Beastman warrior. A Dwarf craftsman extracted the toughest part, it's spine, from the corpse and made it into a long bow.

Zhang Yang kept the bow in his inventory. Hundred Shots and Fatty Han would have to settle it among themselves on who gets to keep it. Then, he turned his attention towards the final piece of equipment on the ground, the dirt-yellowish helmet.

[Cobalt Helmet] (Violet-Platinum, Heavy Armor)

Defense: 80

Vitality: 706

Strength: 202

Agility: 100

Equip: Increases your Maximum HP by 1,400 points.

Equip: Decreases received damage by 196 points.

{Unidentified}

Required Level: 100

While Mythical Tier equipment added both Offense and Defense, this Violet-Platinum Tier equipment only added Defensive attributes. After all, there would always be a difference between equipment of two different Tiers. So one must not be asking for too much from them!

Zhang Yang took the helmet and shoved it into his inventory, not bothering to be gentle with it. As the equipment had not been identified yet, its attributes were still no match to the attributes of his [Titan Helmet].

After picking up every single piece of the loot from the ground, Zhang Yang summoned Mountain Mover over to his position. The strategist was already holding his [Sealing Leash] up the moment he arrived. Then, he began the process of capturing the [Mount] for himself.

However, his luck was not that good. It took him nine attempts to capture the baby mouse. He had thought that he was about to fail in capturing that [Mount, which caused him to panic for a little back there.

Mountain Mover knew his own capability. He knew that the elite battle style of this small party did not suit his personal battle style at all. So he went back to Morning Town after he acquired the [Mount]. Then he went off to start training his new [Mount].

The three of them proceeded forward. They went up and down various mountains and hills of various heights.

Zhang Yang and the ladies had been encountering countless mice-like monsters in the previous mountain area. Meanwhile, this new mountain area they just set foot on were full of buffaloes in almost every corner of the place. The buffaloes were dark green in color. Each of them was equipped with only one Skill called {Eyes of the Death God}. Although this name sounded like the name of the Skill {Glare of the Death God}, it could only cause 10,000 Shadow Damage. It was far from the {Glare of the Death God}.

As they killed their way through the mountain area, they finally stumbled across a wild Buffalo King. There was a small calf right beside the Buffalo King. More importantly, it was a Violet-Platinum Tier [Mount].

The three of them exchanged happy, shocked looks.

Although it was really easy to capture [Mount] after entering the Chaos Realm, most of the [Mounts] were limited to the Tier of Yellow-Gold, Gray-Silver or even to Tiers as low as Green-Copper and Black-Steel. But, it was really a shock for them to come across so many Violet-Platinum Tier [Mounts] in a single day. How amazing is that?

Zhang Yang had come up with a deduction, based on the remaining mountains ahead of them. He said, "There are still 10 more mountains to climb. The first mountain was a mountain littered with mice. The second mountain was crawling with buffaloes. Are you seeing what I'm seeing here? 12 mountains, the first two being mice and buffaloes. Isn't this based on the 12 Chinese Zodiacs? Are we going to see tigers, rabbits, dragons, and snakes, and other members of the 12 zodiacs? I can't help but feel that each mountain would provide us with a Violet-Platinum [Mount, along with their guardian Violet-Platinum Bosses!"

If everything that Zhang Yang said was true, then they had really struck jackpot this time!

Having a possibility to acquire at least 12 pieces of Violet-Platinum equipment and 12 Violet-Platinum Tier {Pet Mounts] was undoubtedly going to be a great 'power-up' to his guild.

"That's great! I'm planning to catch myself a dragon pet! I will be wicked awesome!" Wei Yan Er began to drift in her own imagination.

The only way to find out if Zhang Yang's deduction struck true was to proceed forward.

It only took a few minutes for Zhang Yang and the ladies to take down a Violet-Platinum Tier boss. Unfortunately, the boss did not drop any Heavy Armor this time. It only dropped a piece of Violet-Platinum Tier Cloth Armor that went to Han Ying Xue. The equipment was a pair of boots. Meanwhile, the Violet-Platinum Tier [Mount] on this mountain was captured and brought away by Lost Dream.

The small party went on to the next mountain. The third mountain was full of ferocious tigers. It was as Zhang Yang suspected! There was a Tiger King and a Tiger King Cub right at the top of the mountain! That Tiger King Cub was the [Mount].

Meanwhile, the fourth mountain was full of Mashimaro-like creatures...

However, the 'dragon' mountain that Wei Yan Er had been looking forward to so earnestly turned out to be a major disappointment. There were no signs of ancient dragons, the kind found in Ancient Chinese folklore and mythology, nor any Western-styled winged lizards. Instead, the mountain was full of Raptors!

Those were dinosaurs! They were not to be trifled with!

Wei Yan Er fell into a bottomless pit of despair. She lumbered about like a zombie for a period of time before she returned to her place among the living. When light returned to her eyes however, the little brat unleashed hellfire and fury upon every Raptor that was in her field of vision.

The next mountain was the snake mountain. As expected, the whole mountain was full of snakes. The following mountains contained horses, goats, monkey, chickens, dog, and pigs.

Zhang Yang had assigned all 10 members of his party to a Violet-Platinum Tier [Mount]. Other core players like Galileo and 10-party-Killer of Lone Desert Smoke also got to step up in the mount upgrade spree. They got to switch their [Mounts] out for better ones!

The only unfortunate thing about this was that all of the [Mounts] they had acquired were all ground-types. None of them were capable of flying in the air. Even though the chickens had wings, they were nevertheless categorized as ground-type [Mounts]. They could only flap their wings about.

Well, one should not be too greedy after being handed such wonderful 'freebies'. By acquiring these Violet-Platinum Tier [Mounts, the overall strength of Lone Desert Smoke had been exponentially increased! Although these [Mounts] were flightless...[Flying Mounts] carried a whole new meaning to the term 'rare'. This was completely acceptable. It would not have made sense if the game handed over 10 powerful [Flying Mounts] to the gang out of the blue.

Furthermore, this was just a Level 100 beginner's map. Most of the Chaos Realm still remained unexplored. So players would still stand a chance of stumbling across some [Flying Mounts] in the future.

Before Zhang Yan and gang had even gotten to the Treasure, they had already encountered so many other surprises. They were not even at the pirate's lair yet. At this point, the party did not know what to expect from the treasure chest and were painfully curious.

Daffodil Daydream did not leave the scene after acquiring her Flatline 'Chicken'. This 'Chickobo' turned out to be a Magic-type [Mount]. The two of them made a great pair.

As [Pet Mounts] had been extremely rare in the previous stages of the game, players would simply capture any [Mount] they come across, without taking a look at the Tier or Attributes. Having a [Mount] of any kind was already sufficient for players to earn the bragging rights. In a crowded city or Territory, these players would already be the center of attraction. With a slightly flashier Mount, they would even draw the attention of the opposite sex and start new love stories.

Due to the exceeding rarity of [Mounts] back then, Han Ying Xue was already fortunate enough to own a Melee-Type [Red Gold Crab].

Truth to be told, although the Tier of [Red Gold Crab] was not that low, Han Ying Xue rarely sent the crab into battles. The main reason that Han Ying Xue always stayed behind at a safe distance, healing the other party members. So, what good would the Melee-type [Red Gold Crab] do to her, when it won't be approaching any monsters? The only 'function' it did was to raise Han Ying Xue's Maximum HP after she was mounted on it.

Under those kinds of circumstances, many players actually had [Mounts] that were not 'compatible' with their styles in combat. Because of the exceeding rarity of [Mounts] back in the day, the players had no choice but to take whatever they were given.

Han Ying Xue had also switched her ground-type [Mount] to a 'horse'. It was a Magic-type [Mount] named [Flaming Scarlet Tempest].

Currently, the horse was still young and small. Han Ying Xue simply could not see the potential of its growth just yet. But they could get some clues on that aspect by looking at the attack pattern of the boss they had encountered when procuring it.

The two ladies had summoned their new [Mounts] for them to get experience points. After they cleared out all 12 mountains of the '12 Zodiacs', Han Ying Xue's [Flaming Scarlet Tempest] had reached the level of 78. Meanwhile, Daffodil Daydream's [Chickobo] had also reached the level of 55. Both [Mounts] were capable of 'mounting' already, and they had also acquired some extra Skills while they were leveling up.

Regrettably, for Zhang Yang, his luck was not that good. Upon killing the 12 bosses, they had picked up a total of 17 Violet-Platinum equipment. However, only the first boss dropped a helmet that he could really use. Although there were also 3 other Heavy Armor equipment, the attributes on one of them was more inclined to Offense. So, Wei Yan Er would a more suitable owner. The remaining two Heavy Armor equipment were more onto Defense, however, the attributes were more concentrated on Intelligence. In that case, it would be more suitable for Endless Starlight to have them.

Since Endless Starlight was the main Tanker in clearing the Hardcore Mode of the Dragon Throat Fortress, Zhang Yang decided to give the two 'defensive' equipment to him. His intention was to increase the efficiency of his guild in clearing the dungeon.

For that, Endless Starlight was touched to the point that he had tears streaming down his face. He had even expressed that he would give his body to Zhang Yang first if he ever loses his mind and changed his sex. That really gave Zhang Yang the creeps as goosebumps began to spread across his skin!

After walking through the mountains of the '12 Zodiacs', Zhang Yang and the three ladies had arrived at a lake. This lake was a great, inland lake. However, it wasn't so vast that Zhang Yang and the ladies could not see the other end of it. They could also see very clearly that there was a fortress built right in the middle of the lake!

This fortress had probably occupied about 10% of the surface area of the entire lake. The fortress was built with woods of great buoyancy. There were iron lock hooks holding the woods all together tightly. It went up and down with the waves.

"Haha! This place looks more like a water-bed!" Wei Yan Er blinked her eyes repeatedly, "Sis, I want a water-bed!"

Zhang Yang suddenly had an idea and he said, "Alright! Let's have one water-bed in each of the rooms back home!"

Well, he was thinking that he might get really 'pumped' if he rams Han Ying Xue and Sun Xin Yu on the water-bed, bouncing them all up and down.

Han Ying Xue glanced at Zhang Yang. Her face was telling Zhang Yang that she too, was looking forward to it. She seemed to have read Zhang Yang's mind correctly.

"Huh? Why would you suddenly be so generous?" Wei Yan Er was suspecting Zhang Yang instead. She thought that Zhang Yang was just messing around with her.

"How could you suspect my sincerity! I've always been generous!" Zhang Yang looked far into the distance as he began to look for a way in, then he said, "This is most probably the lair of that Blackbeard Ditch. He is indeed worthy to be called a pirate. He even built his lair on water!"

"So, how are we going over to the fortress?"

"We shall fly over! It's an entire lake beneath us, so there shouldn't be any more of those monstrous trees we saw before!"

TL Note: No translation error there for that severely underwhelming Level 100 bow. 672 DPS? Fufufu…

Chapter 559: The Pirate's Old Lair

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The four of them summoned out their own [Mounts]. However, right before they could fly into the air, they were greeted with countless of arrows from the direction of the fortress. One brief moment later, the four of them were left with hundreds of holes on them. Their HP bars were reducing so rapidly that they were terrified to see it with their own eyes!

Zhang Yang quickly activated his {Vanguard's Aggression} and his [Heart of the Death knight] at the same time as he started to panic, then he quickly said, "Retreat!"

Shoof shoof shoof!

Arrow continued to rain upon them endlessly, one wave after another. There were so many arrows flying through the sky at the same time that they looked like a swam of locusts that blotted out the sun!

Under the supporting protection of {Vanguard's Aggression}, the damage that the 3 ladies received had been reduced by 10%. However, they were still loosing their HP at an insanely fast rate. Fortunately for them, they were already ambushed the moment they left the ground. So, it did not take long for them to return back on ground.

It was actually unnecessary for them to get back on the ground. As long as they do not fly too high up in the sky, they would not be shot at. The situation was actually similar to the trees.

"So, those trees grow underwater too?" Wei Yan Er was amazed.

"There should be."

"How can there be such 'trees' under the water?" Wei Yan Er was very eager to dig deeper into the logical explanation on this topic.

Zhang Yang frowned. That was because they were in a game after all. It wouldn't be weird, even if there was a bunch of cabbages growing nicely in the clouds! After deciding to ignore the little brat, Zhang Yang summoned out his [Mythical Turtle]. It had been quite a while since he last brought the Turtle out for fresh air. Water area environments was where the Mythical Turtle could unleash it's full potential -- most of the [Flying Mounts] were not able to go under water.

Han Ying Xue summoned her [Red Gold Cab] as well. Each of the [Mounts] were assigned to carry two persons as they began to 'sail' across the lake over to the fortress.

It was natural for Wei Yan Er and Han Ying Xue to be on the same 'boat,' as they were siblings after all. Meanwhile, Zhang Yang took Daffodil Daydream on his 'ride'. The little lady felt safe and sound as she was leaned on the back of Zhang Yang when they were on the way over to the fortress. She blushed all the way through.

Considering that all [Mounts] can only provide their owners the ability to breath underwater, The [Red Gold Crab] and the [Mythical Turtle] had to travel above the surface of the water. That way, Wei Yan Er and Daffodil Daydream wouldn't drown.

The four of them were able to see everything that was happening beneath them, as the water of the lake was crystal clear.

As expected, there were countless 'Spiky Treants' all over the lake floor. Their branches were as bristly as ever, and they seemed completely at home in the water.

"I didn't know there is such trees that is amphibious!" Wei Yan Er widened her eyes a little as she spoke, "Let's plant some of these trees in our swimming pool!"

Zhang Yang laughed out loud and said, "Then, you better watch out! Those spikes will surely poke right through your butt!"

"You jerk..." Wei Yan Er muttered in low voice.

Although the lake was vast, the entire journey across the lake to the fortress was just about 4 to 5 kilometers. It only took a few minutes for them to approach the fortress as [Mythical Turtle] and [Red Gold Crab] were both agile swimmers.

Maybe the pirates had been overconfident about their elusiveness. The base was barely fortified. After looking around carefully, Zhang Yang could only see a few pirates with dark clothing and wretched faces. They were sitting casually at the high tower. It seemed that they were supposed to watch out for any sign of intruders outside of their fortress.

However, players and monsters would only engage into battles based on the mechanism of the aggro system that the system had provided all along. So, as long as players could stay out of the aggro range of the monsters, they could avoid the battles with the monsters. Therefore, the four of them were basically clueless of their presence as they snuck around the guards stationed on the outpost towers. It was considered as a successful stealthy infiltration.

"The leader of these pirates must be living in the largest house of all. That means..." Zhang Yang hopped over onto the 'deck' and took a look around the surroundings. Then he pointed at a very large wooden house that was not far from them. "That should be the one."

"Let's get moving!" Wei Yan Er was excited as she began to whirl her axe around. Other than those weird and unexplained phenomenons, this little brat would only be interest in coins and battles. Since she could fulfill her own lust for battle and also earn some coins along the way, Wei Yan Er would always be very happy slaying monsters to level up.

"Who goes there?" one of the pirates who looked like an Orc suddenly popped out from a wooden house. Well, he was an Orc indeed! Although his mouth had uttered an inquiry, his hands were not as courteous. He swung his black giant axe mercilessly across at Zhang Yang without any signs of warning.

Ding!

The giant axe was deflected away as Zhang Yang raised his shield and blocked the attack. He could not help but to wonder, why did the monster target him at first sight, even when he was not the closest to it? Was it because his face was so ugly that the monster could not stand the sight of it, and had to attack him to vent out the discomfort?

"It doesn't matter what you do, you're as good as dead!" The Orc revealed a row of filthy yellowish teeth as he smiled. Only god knows how long has it been since he last brushed his teeth! That foul stench from his mouth could really 'knock' people out!

The monster pointed at Zhang Yang before he diverted his attention over to the 3 ladies. His eyes were rolling around randomly and he said, "What a shame. I have no interest in you ugly people. But you girls should be worth at least a couple hundred coins!"

Ugly?

"You're the one who is ugly! You ugly horse... Orc!" Han Ying Xue and the other two ladies were enraged by his words. They pointed their fingers at the Orc in rage. Their rage were fueled well enough for them to begin the battle.

[Blackbeard's Crew] (Elite, Humanoid)

Level: 115

HP: 1,150,000

Defense: 1,200

Attack: 7,623 - 9,623

Skills:

[A Nibble of Death: Heavily strikes a target, causing 150% Melee Attack of Physical Damage to the target.

[Pirate's Madness: A pirate is filled with the spirit to take on an adventure! A pirate would be willing to burn up his own life span in exchange for incredible power! Upon activation of this Skill, the pirate would lose 10,000 HP in every second. However, all targets within the range of 3-meter radius from the pirate will receive the same amount of Shadow Damage. Lasts for 10 seconds.

Note: They are the crews of Blackbeard Ditch after all. They fear no death. Every single one of their hands are tainted with blood!

"Just die! Human!" the Orc pirate let out an intimidating shout. Then, he began to raise his large axe up high in the air before he swung it straight at Zhang Yang.

Bam!

Though Zhang Yang's {Block} was still under the cooldown period, that did not stop him from using his 'Supporting Attacks'. With a heavy slam right in the pirate's face, Zhang Yang knocked the Orc off a few steps back. The two fangs that jutted out from his lips broke off from the impact.

"You filthy human! How dare you!" The Orc screamed in rage as his entire body turned bloody red. He was loosing 10,000 HP in every passing second. However, every time when he lost his HP, a bright red light would radiate out about 3-meter radius across the surroundings.

Zhang Yang and Wei Yan Er were instantly hit by the radiance as both of them received damage. Zhang Yang received an amount of '-5,114' damage while Wei Yan Er received an amount of '-9,822' damage. The little brat did not receive a full amount of damage from the radiance because she had one Mythical Tier equipment that could absorb damage.

That was the {Pirate's Madness}!

Indeed, that pirate looked like he was tormented in madness. So this was a powerful Skill that would cause destruction to both sides at the cost of sacrificing one's own HP. Furthermore, the HP bar of the monster was long enough for it to use this Skill. A players would not last as long.

The fire power of the small party was already powerful enough as it was. They became even more powerful after Daafodil Daydream joined in. They put down the pirate with ease. The pirate had dropped a few coins and a few [Inscribed Cloths]. Other than that, the dead pirate also dropped a piece of Yellow-Gold equipment.

"Stinky pirate! You must be blind! I'm a pretty lady! Not some ugly human!" Wei Yan Er still wasn't willing to let it go as she continued to mutter at the dead pirate's body. She still wanted to correct the pirate, even though he was dead. She wanted to prove she was a pretty lady who could stun people with her looks.

"Stop wasting your life and keep moving!" Han Ying Xue kicked the little brat in the butt and ran off.

Although the fortress seemed a poorly attended, there were monsters lurking around the houses. They would ambush the players from concealed, hidden corners. Therefore, Zhang Yang and the ladies had no choice but to endure the annoyance of being ambushed by pirate after pirate.

Some wooden houses only had one pirate lurking in them. Well, some had two, or even three filthy pirates in the houses, ready to ambush any players who came by the houses.

The weird part about this was that if the house only had one pirate in it, the pirate would look neat in terms of clothing when he came out to block the players. However, if there were at least 2 to 3 pirates in the house, they would look messy, as if they just got out of their bed. Some of them did not even had clothes on them! They were stark naked, and their butt folds were as visible as day! Fortunately, the game had placed mosaic boxes over the filthy 'vital' parts of the pirates.

Wei Yan Er could not understand this, so she asked, "Do these pirates love to sleep in the buff? They're just like cousin sis!"

Han Ying Xue was instantly enraged at the little brat for mentioning it out, so she humped, "How could you compare these filthy monsters with me, a pretty and elegant lady?"

Zhang Yang laughed out loud as he spoke suggestively, "Well, we interrupted them at the wrong time. We've committed a crime for intruding upon their 'fun' time!"

Han Ying Xue and Daffodil Daydream spat at him for making such a lame joke. Meanwhile, the little brat blinked with her large eyes as adorably as ever in her cluelessness.

After clearing out the path and proceeding forward for another one and a half hour, the four of them finally arrived at the largest wooden house in the entire lair of the pirates. The place really looked like a house that belonged to someone important. There were already 4 elite Tier guards standing at the front of the entrance.

Zhang Yang could already unleash the potential of his 'Supporting Attacks,' because his equipment had reach the standard. There as no reason at all to be afraid of the 4 elite Tier monsters. So the four of them charged straight up to engage. Zhang Yang's [Sword of Devourer] managed to cause about 30,000 damage to one of the monsters right in front of him. His rage bar went through the roof right after that strike. Without any hesitation, he immediately activated his {Horizontal Sweep}.

Four yellow numerical values popped up on top of the 4 elite Tier monsters. Unfortunately, there were too few targets in range. So, the special effect of the replicated Skill on the [Sword of Purging Devourer] was not triggered.

"Kill him!" the four pirates were struck by surprise. So they were enraged as they began to shout out loud. They swung their swords and axes towards Zhang Yang the moment they detected Zhang Yang's presence.

"In your dreams!" Zhang Yang stomped the ground and activated his {Thunder Strike}. Electricity flickered across the 4 pirates as they received Movement Speed reduction effects. Zhang Yang became their primary target as he began to lead them around like a herd of cows.

Wei Yan Er swung her axe towards the monsters as she launched her swift and fierce assaults. After she had switched her old axe with a new one, her damage output had increased drastically. It was almost twice of her previous damage output! After all, weapons brought the most change on players' Attack power.

The 4 pirates were taken out, one after another, neat and quick. Zhang Yang and the ladies gained quite a substantial amount of experience points from killing these monsters. The two [Mounts] that had not yet reached Level 100 were leveling up continuously. One of them had reached level 89 while the other had reached Level 75.

The four of them entered the house. All they saw before them was a grand, ornately furnished living room. The place gave people the feeling that the room was vast and spacious.

The ladies were dismounted automatically at they were in an indoor environment. Only Thunderhawk was still flapping its wings about idly. The wind the wings stirred up had blown Han Ying Xue and Daffodil Daydream's skirts up, revealing their panties!

"The pet is as perverted as it's owner! You perverted hawk!" Han Ying Xue muttered.

Daffodil Daydream was holding her skirt down with both of her hands as she was blushing in shame.

What the hell! How did that become Zhang Yang's fault, then? That was just wrong!

They had to proceed without the 3 [Mounts] that they had brought along. There were no signs of any monsters in the house. Zhang Yang and the ladies began to split up so that they could cover more ground in searching the house for the other half of the Treasure Map.

However, Zhang Yang was the only one who had accepted the related quest. So, only he would be able to recognize the unique appearance of the other half of the Treasure Map. The other half of the Treasure Map would only look like a normal piece of parchment in the eyes of Han Ying Xue and the other two ladies. They did not accept the quest, after all. However, Zhang Yang would see it as a piece of Treasure Map that glowed dimly.

That was the system's setting. Quest items would all radiate in a dim light so to serve as a beacon so that players would be able to spot them more easily. If players could still miss out on them, then there wouldn't be anything left to say.

After just a brief moment, Zhang Yang found the other half of the Treasure Map in a sealed drawer.

However, this was a S-rank quest. So the question was, will they be able to obtain the other half of the Treasure Map so easily?

Chapter 560: Snowman Snow

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

However, the two pieces of the Treasure Map were right inside Zhang Yang's inventory.

He took out the two pieces of Treasure Map and pieced them together. They produced a sudden, blinding flash of light, seamlessly forming into one complete Treasure Map without any indication that it was once in pieces.

"Hahaha!" suddenly, the gang heard a long laugh. A shadow appeared out of nowhere and forcefully relieved Zhang Yang of his Treasure Map. Zhang Yang was struck by a fist. He received a blow so great that his HP dropped all the way down to 1!

The shadow vanished and reappeared at a spot 10 meters away from Zhang Yang. It took the form of a tall, imposing hulk of a man. This man was clad in a thick set of clothing. His jacket had been left undone, leaving his large belly exposed. His thickset, beefy face and broad cheeks were half-covered by a thick, long beard. He looked a little like the legendary warrior, Zhang Fei.

That man now held the Treasure Map in his hands!

Looking at the name and title above his head, this was the leader of the pirates, Blackbeard Ditch!

What the hell! This quest was not as simple as expected! The boss had come over to snatch the Treasure Map away from Zhang Yang himself!

"I have waited for more than 10 years, and a new thief finally presents himself!" Ditch was laughing out loud, "I knew it. Since you stole the first half of the Treasure Map, you will surely be back for the other half! So I had been expecting you!"

[Blackbeard Ditch's Illusion] (Summon)

Level: 130

This was actually not the real boss, it was just an illusion of Ditch.

"You thieves! I shall allow you pathetic fools to live a little longer. After I take the ancient Treasure for myself, I shall have my own sweet time with you all!" the illusion of Ditch strode out of the house, calling over his shoulder. Then, the illusion went flying into the sky with a shoof.

"Argh! That fat bastard!" Wei Yan Er was so mad that she began to shout. She was a money grubber, after all. Of course, she would be very fond of treasures and treasure coves. Of course, she would burst into rage knowing that the only lead to her favorite treasures had been taken by the boss, right in front of her eyes!

'Ding! The objective for your quest: The Pirate's Treasure Map has changed! You must reclaim the Treasure Map back from Blackbeard Ditch! Stop him from getting the ancient Treasure and becoming an unstoppable dark force!'

Zhang Yang suddenly received a system notification.

Initially, the quest had required him to steal the map, and now, the quest wanted him to snatch the Treasure Map from the hands of Blackbeard Ditch himself!

Zhang Yang quickly brought up his quest list to take a good look at the quest description. The description had changed slightly. The description of the quest now clearly stated that there was a secret passage in a corner somewhere nearby them. Blackbeard Ditch had been going through the secret passage in and out, to resupply.

Without further ado, Zhang Yang hustled the ladies to move their *sses immediately. They followed the description of the quest and arrived at the west side of the lake. After climbing over some huge rocks, they found themselves standing at where a river branched itself out into two smaller rivers.

Apparently, the rocks were just an illusion. Magic had formed them, capable of deceiving the untrained eye.

A huge pirate ship was parked in the smaller branch of the river. The moment Zhang Yang and the 3 ladies arrived, the pirate ship began to drift slowly along the current. The two water-type [Mounts] had to swim with all their might just to catch up, where they snuck onboard from the back.

"Intruders!" one elite Tier pirate spotted the four of them sneaking about and immediately attacked. The pirate swung his cutlass about while charging at them. The pirates are a merciless folk. They did not discriminate by gender. The first target this pirate went for was Daffodil Daydream.

Zhang Yang quickly ran between the two of them. He raised his shield and deflected the blow.

After a flurry of attacks, the pirate buckled beneath the heavy firepower of Zhang Yang's small party. The huge amount of experience points gained gave the two new [Mounts] a level each.

Cutting their way through the deck, the four of them eventually found a cabin door. They broke it down and entered the cabin.

However, the interior of the cabin was considered as an indoor environment. So, other than Thunderhawk, all [Mounts] were automatically banished into their respective owners' inventory.

"Hehe, I think I smell the scent of a woman!"

"Me too! I smelled it too!"

Four greenish fireballs hovered around the dark corner of the cabin. There were two skeletal pirates oogling at the 3 ladies. The ignited green flames within their eye sockets flickering with excitement. One of them began to speak, "Ah, I knew it, women! I smell leaking blood, the type of bleeding that only women are capable of!"

Leaking? Woman?

Zhang Yang instantly understood. He could not help but frown. These 'hardcore' game designers sometimes go way overboard.

"You dirty swines!" Han Ying Xue and Daffodil Daydream had also understood what the skeletal pirate talked about. Women would bleed for a few days, every month. The only one who did not understand the meaning of that was Wei Yan Er. Without wasting any time or breath, she charged up to the two skeletal pirates and swung her axe at them.

Zhang Yang quickly followed, charging over, while swinging his [Sword of Purging Devourer] at the two skeletal pirates. After a flurry of attacks, he finally managed to grab hold of their aggro.

"These Spectral monsters really do have sensitive noses! They should just go and play the role of blood-sucking zombies!" Zhang Yang laughed out loud. Han Ying Xue owned her body as much as he did, of course, Zhang Yang was aware of how it was 'inconvenient' for her at the moment. It was most probably the best time for him to replenish his 'ammunition' in these few days. On the other hand, he would be deprived of her body for the same period of time. He had mixed feelings about the whole situation.

"Fresh blood! Delicious fresh blood!" the two Spectral monsters were screaming as if they were confirming what Zhang Yang had just said. Their screams were accompanied by the clinks and clanks of blade meeting blade. They fought back and forth, up and down the cabin, stirring up a small hurricane within the room. The entire cabin was shaking violently, barely containing the turbulent battle.

After a brief moment, the two Spectral monsters fell to the blades of Zhang Yang's small party. The four of them continued to proceed forward. There were all sorts of pirates who appeared soon after to block their way. The pirate ship was like a hodgepodge of pirates from different races.

About 2 hours later, they finally cleared their path and reached the end of the first floor. It was as they suspected. There was a boss standing guard the entrance to the second floor of the deck.

This boss was a tall, middle-aged man, with a small trilby that seemed to have worn out its use. The man was sloppy and unkempt, not giving a mind about his appearance.

Zhang Yang and the ladies would have thought that this man was a fisherman if they hadn't seen the name and title stated on top of the man's head.

['Snowman' Snow] (Violet-Platinum, Humanoid)

Level: 130

HP: 13,000,000

Defense: 3,540

Melee Attack: 17,739 - 21,739 (Determined as Physical Attack, but causes Frost Damage)

Skills:

[Blizzard Storm: Summons a storm of blizzard to attack the enemies. Causes 10,000 Frost Damage to all enemies within the effective range of the Skill. Lasts for 10 seconds.

[Snowman Transformation: Transforms into a snowman. Increases 50% Frost Damage dealt. Immune to all Frost Damage and Frost Attacks. Reduces 50% Physical Damage received. However, increases Fire Damage received by an additional 100%.

Note: One of the three generals under Blackbeard Ditch. The user of 'Snowy Snow' Devil Fruit. Has the power to control snow and frost.

After reading the description of the Skill {Snowman Transformation}, Zhang Yang could not help but to widen his eyes a little. Then he said, "This boss might drop a Fragment of the [Snowman Inheritance]."

[Inheritance] was the most sought out thing in the entire game, thanks to Zhang Yang's 'demonstration' of it.

Wei Yan Er and Daffodil Daydream instantly perked up, as neither had activated any linking quest for any [Inheritances]. The little brat quickly asked, "What Class?"

"Class B."

"Humph! I don't want to even consider a low Class [Inheritance]!" Wei Yan Er immediately sighed discontentedly as she shook her head again and again.

"I'm a Pyromancer, after all. I'm afraid that this [Snowman Inheritance] is not suitable for me, at all." Daffodil Daydream had a more down-to-earth character. Unlike the little brat, she would consider things based on a more practical point of view before making any decisions.

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "This [Snowman Inheritance] caters more for Physical-types. When you activate the {Inheritance Transformation} for this [Inheritance, you will basically have the similar ability that the boss has when it activates its {Snowman Transformation}. But, you will have more HP and a higher Attack power after you 'transform'. Honestly speaking, it would really suitable for little brat!"

"No! Don't even think about telling me what to get for my [Inheritance]!" Wei Yan Er shook her head as if it was one of those handheld whirling drums(1), "I'm not such a cheapskate! I won't go for a mere Class B [Inheritance] just because I can't get a Class S [Inheritance]!"

"Our little brat is such an aspiring youngster. Such lofty ideals and dreams! Haha!" Zhang Yang laughed

Wei Yan Er was happy for a brief instant. However, the next things that Zhang Yang brought up immediately angered her again, "Unfortunately, she just can't seem to get the chest she wants, and she also can't seem to get the butt she wants either! Would any man really have an eye for her?"

The little brat was unpredictable. She actually said, "If no one wants me, then I will rely on you!"

Tsk! Is that her way of hitting on someone?!

"Alright, alright, let's go to the boss then!" Han Ying Xue quickly said. Naturally, she wouldn't want the little brat to throw herself onto Zhang Yang. She could still argue or fight with Sun Xin Yu till the bitter end. However, to fight for a man's favor with this little brat wasn't something she was prepared for. Prevention would be better than cure.

"Just like how we always do it, heal me accordingly and we should be fine. There's not much to discuss about. Also, remember to dodge the {Blizzard Storm}. Let's do this!" Zhang Yang swung his [Sword of Purging Devourer] as he charged at the boss.

"Are you the thieves that Captain was talking about?" Snow swung his fist at Zhang Yang's blade. His fist was beginning to freeze up with frost as he was at it. It was like an armor coating over his entire fist.

Boom!

'-25399!'

'-12822!'

The moment the fist clashed with the blade, sparks flew. Zhang Yang and the boss received damage at the same instant. However, the damage that Zhang Yang caused upon the boss was two times higher than the boss's damage value.

"Not bad, I can't believe that you're actually this capable!" Snow retracted his fist. His hand was covered with frosty air. Apparently, he was shocked, "It seems that I should fight you more seriously!"

Chiang chiang chiang!

The boss started to cover his body up with snow. In no time at all, he looked like a walking snowman.

{Snowman Transformation}!

Well, that's really unfair! This was supposed to be the ultimate Skill of the boss. How could the boss use it at such an early stage of the boss battle? Zhang Yang had no idea how long this Skill would last. If this Skill could last for 2 hours, as long as a player's {Inheritance Transformation} Skill, then it would become impossible to defeat the boss!

Zhang Yang and Wei Yan Er swiftly casted 5 layers of {Cripple Defense} onto the boss. However, the boss had already obtained a 50% reduction on all Physical Attacks thanks to his {Snowman Transformation}. Even Zhang Yang got far stronger all of a sudden, his normal attacks would only cause 12,000 to 15,000 damage.

When one door shuts, another opens. It was fortunate for Daffodil Daydream to tag along after she had acquired her [Mount]. She was a Pyromancer, after all. Knowing that she could double her damage dealt on the boss, Daffodil Daydream cast her fire balls over and over again in excitement. Each of her attacks could cause about 28,000 damage!

Daffodil Daydream was not the only one enjoying her double damage. Felice was also experiencing the same thing!

Initially, Felice could already cause up to 20,000 damage with her {Fire Missile}. After her Attack was doubled, she could deal about 40,000 damage. So basically, her DPS had already exceeded 20,000!

Zhang Yang could usually rely on his damage output in getting hold of the aggro of his target. However, he now had to use his {Provoke}-like Skills to prevent the boss from going after Felice instead.

"Ice age!" the boss suddenly let out a thunderous roar. The next moment, the entire cabin had been transformed into a land of ice and snow. The floor was suddenly buried in snow. Countless, sharp, spikes of ice started raining down the entire area. The hail of icicles was intense and unrelenting! One could only escape this only if they knew how to walk through a rain shower without getting hit by a drop.

"Retreat! Retreat at once!" Zhang Yang said in a hurry.

While the boss was under his {Snowman Transformation}, there was a 50% increase on the Critical Rate of every single Frost Skill that he had. So, this {Blizzard Storm} could basically cause about 15,000 damage every time it hits a target. Even though the equipment on the ladies were already considered to be very powerful, they would still have to drop by the Graveyard if they ever get hit by 4 to 5 of those spikes.

Although Zhang Yang had shouted to the ladies to retreat, he did not move a muscle at all. The {Blizzard Storm} would be channeled with the boss as the central anchor. If Zhang Yang retreats with the ladies, the boss would follow, along with the {Blizzard Storm}. That could possibly wipe the party out.

Fortunately this {Blizzard Storm} was only going to last for 10 seconds. After 10 seconds, the phenomenon faded without a trace. Han Ying Xue and the two other ladies rejoined the battle. Meanwhile, Felice had stayed and fought against the boss. She took the full brunt of the impact. However, thanks to her 5,000 Magic Defense, she only lost about 100,000 HP. That would still leave her with half of her HP bar untouched.

As the battle continued, although Snow was behaving like an authentic Mythical Tier boss while he was in his {Snowman Transformation} form, he could not make up for his disadvantage over his total amount of HP. About 3 minutes later, the boss let out a miserable scream and collapsed onto the ground. The party earned massive amount of experience points and quite the number of loot.

The four of them did not feel excited at all. It was really no big deal for them. Furthermore, the boss was only a Level 130 boss. The equipment that the boss dropped were basically Level 130 Violet-Platinum Tier equipment, without the Special that reduces 20 levels from the Requirements. The equipment were like tasteless, bland chicken to them, and they did not even spare anything a glance. Zhang Yang shoved everything into his inventory.

However, the boss had also gave them a pleasant surprise -- a fragment of the [Snowman Inheritance]!

This was one of the Class B [Inheritances]. There were a total of 6 pieces of fragments for this [Inheritance]. In order to activate the linking quest for the [Snowman Inheritance, one would have to gather all 6 pieces of the fragments to form a complete piece. Since that the little brat was not interested with it at all, Zhang Yang had placed the fragment in his inventory. He could just give it out to any of his core members in the guild as a reward for achieving something for the guild.

Any player that had the {Inheritance Transformation} Skill on them would be the most valuable asset to every guild. It did not matter if it was in Zhang Yang's previous life or this current life. Even if players only had Class C [Inheritance] on them, they could still easily get recruited into a guild by simply posting 'Class C [Inheritance] Player in need of a guild'. Some top guilds would even politely request for such players to join them. The richer guilds would even pay the players with fixed salaries!

When a thing is rare, it becomes precious. After all, a player with an {Inheritance Transformation} were so rare and valuable to a guild!

This piece of [Snowman Inheritance] fragment could not be bought or found in any forms of shops. So Zhang Yang decided to keep it for the elite players as a token of incentive. He wanted to make sure that the person who would be receiving this should be a member that had a strong sense of belonging in the guild. Furthermore, that player should also be quite skillful. After all, Zhang Yang would be giving out a Class B [Inheritance]. He just wanted to make sure he had given it to the correct member. Even in his previous life, a guild could laugh heartily if they could really gather 10 players with a Class B [Inheritance]!

"Haih! If this is a Class A [Inheritance, perhaps I would have forced myself to take it!" Wei Yan Er shrugged as she spoke.

Zhang Yang laughed and said, "Actually, you still have a chance to get a Class S [Inheritance]!"

"Really? How?"

"Delete your account, restart the game as a Spellcaster, a Knight, a Hunter, or a Thief!"

Chapter 561: Crimson Flame of the 'Blazing Flame'

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After taking out 'Snowman' Snow, the four of them arrived at the second floor of the cabin.

As the special note of the first boss had stated that Snow was just one of the three generals serving under Blackbeard Ditch, Zhang Yang and the ladies knew that they would still have to defeat two more general bosses before they could actually face Blackbeard Ditch himself!

The monsters on the second floor of the cabin were also similar to the monsters on the first floor of the deck. Other than the pirates of different races and species, there was also a new type of monster: Pirate's Parrot.

[Pirate's Parrot] (Elite, Beast)

Level: 125

HP: 1,250,000

Defense: 1,300

Attack: 7,381 - 11,381

Skills:

[Dive: Charges down from the sky, causing 150% Physical Damage to the target. Causes the target to fall. The target will be able to get back to their feet after 1 second.

[Parrot's Infection: Infects the target with a virus, reduces target's damage dealt by 10%. There is a 10% rate of causing the target to have a fever once every 3 seconds. The target will descend into a chaotic state and cannot attack. Lasts for 15 seconds.

Note: Parrots are the symbol of pirates, how can a pirate ship be a real pirate ship without a parrot on it?

The irritating thing about these parrots was that they would come in a pack of 3 or 4. Because they were small, they could attack one target at the same time. Furthermore, these parrots certainly belong to the Agility-Type classification. Their movements were extremely agile. Zhang Yang could not keep up with their speed, and was not even able to use his Supporting Attacks.

Fortunately, Zhang Yang and the ladies were powerful enough to take it all. Zhang Yang could still endure the assaults from 3 to 4 monsters at the same time. Zhang Yang and the ladies proceeded forward without much of a problem, although the parrots greatly hindered them. It took them more than 3 hours to arrive at the end of the floor. Finally, they came face to face with the second boss, Crimson Flame!

Surprisingly, this pirate looked like well-dressed, muscular, middle-age man with a high collar around his neck. He looked more like a cocky general instead of an atrocious pirate!

[Crimson Flame of the 'Blazing Flame'] (Violet-Platinum, Humanoid)

Level: 130

HP: 13,000,000

Defense: 3,540

Attack: 17,739 - 21,739 (Determined as Physical Attack, but cause Fire Damage)

Skills:

[Parrot Summoning: According to rumors, before Crimson Flame was a pirate, he used to be a parrot seller. He has an amazing ability of communicating with parrots. Summons parrots based on the number of players on his aggro list.

[Roaring Flame Transformation: Transforms into 'Blazing Flame'. Increases 20% Fire Damage dealt. Immune to all Fire Damage and Status Restriction Skills received. Reduces 50% Physical Damage received. However, increases Frost Damage received by an additional 100%.

[Blazing Drift: When Crimson Flame enters its {Blazing Flame Transformation} form, his body will be flowing with blazing lava. All enemies that touch him will receive 10,000 Fire Damage.

Note: One of the three generals under Blackbeard Ditch. The user of 'Blazing Flame' Devil Fruit. Has the power to control fire.

Zhang Yang was surprised and happy at the same time, after taking note of the {Roaring Flame Transformation} Skill on the boss description. He knew that there was a very high chance that the boss would drop a fragment of the [Roaring Flame Inheritance] upon defeat!

Did they come across King Solomon's mine or something?

Back in the mountains of '12 Zodiacs', it was still reasonable to get few pieces of Yellow-Gold equipment that were dropped by earlier bosses like the Tiger King. It was simply because there were 12 bosses back there. However, they also got a few pieces of Violet-Platinum Tier equipment and one Violet-Platinum Tier [Mount] for every boss they slew! That alone was already more than enough for them to come to the island!

Now, this boss was even more generous. He even dropped a fragment for a Class B [Inheritance].

A Class B [Inheritance]! Any guild would like to have their hands on [Inheritances] of such Class. They had actually stumbled across 2 Class B [Inheritance] in a row, like freebies! What kind of luck would that be?

Well, this was definitely a treasure trove!

Even if the quest actually ends here, Zhang Yang was already contented. After all, he and his little party of ladies had already gained more than enough for the trip.

If the system is so generous, as if the girl that you adored for N years suddenly accepted your 'mating call', would you still pretend to be a decent guy? Of course you would just take the shot!

Zhang Yang let out a battle cry and charged towards the boss.

"Snow... that imbecile..." the boss humphed coldly as blazing flames started igniting across his entire body. It seemed that he was already transformed into his {Roaring Flame Transformation} form. Just like the first contact with the previous boss Snow, Zhang Yang swung his [Sword of Purging Devourer] while Crimson Flame swung his fist. It seemed that this boss was as brave as the last boss, Snow. They were both powerful warriors who did not fear meeting their enemies head-on. Things were a little different for Crimson Flame. Instead of being covered with frost, the blazing flames on his body instantly formed a barrier that looked like a forcefield around his fist.

Boom!

The fist and the blade clashed with each other. Zhang Yang was sent a few steps back by the impact of that punch. Crimson Flame charged in and threw another flaming fist at Zhang Yang, not even giving him a moment to catch his breath!

The great battle started off. Wei Yan Er, Han Ying Xue and Daffodil Daydream were already in their positions.

However, Daffodil Daydream felt out of place. She was able to cause double damage to Snow in the previous boss battle. But now, she could only stare at the boss, throwing ineffective fire attacks at Crimson Flame. All she could do in order to help was to summon out her Battle Companion to provide some support on their damage output. Meanwhile, she could only stand at a corner and make sure that she was still alive by the end of the battle.

On the other hand, although all Fire Attacks that Felice had on her were ineffective against the boss, the little lady could still transform into her humanoid form. She could still attack the boss effectively with her normal attacks. Although her damage output had been heavily affected, it was way better than Daffodil Daydream who could not do a single damage to the boss.

Pak! Pak! Pak!

The boiling lava on the body of the boss was dripping all over the floor, forming a sea of lava beneath his legs. Those flames that sprouted off the magma could cause 10,000 Nature Damage to whoever who touches them. Although 10,000 damage wasn't that much, receiving 10,000 damage every second could still be terrifying. Even Zhang Yang wouldn't dare to stand still and let the flames burn him for nothing. So he moved around agilely while kiting the boss along.

Fortunately, the lava required some time before it could turn the ground into a sea of blazing flames that started scorching players. Zhang Yang only needed to move to another spot once every 10 seconds. However, they could not afford to prolong the battle. Eventually, the entire floor available to them would be up in flames.

Daffodil Daydream was basically 'riding shotgun' for this battle while Zhang Yang, Wei Yan Er and Felice were all sharing the wheel to poor effect. Nothing was being carried out efficiently in the battle. The only one that could still promise a full effect from its Basic Attack was Thunderhawk.

A brief moment later, the boss suddenly let out a roar, "My little birdies, come and meet your guests!"

Shoof! Four elite Tier Parrots puffed out of thin air. They dive bombed Han Ying Xue.

It could not be helped. After all, the monsters had been spawned right in the middle of the battle, without any sign of warning. Without a Tanker and other DPS players blocking off the parrots, their first target would naturally be the Healer, Han Ying Xue.

However, the words of the boss struck the four of them with the impact of a thunderbolt. So great was the impact that foam started leaking out of their mouths. They almost fell to the ground in epileptic fits, almost drowning in their own foam, right before the boss, there and then.

Zhang Yang quickly activated his {Charge} and clashed into one of the Parrots. The moment he came into contact with the Parrot, he stomped his feet heavily onto the ground and activated his {Thunder Strike}. That instantly reduced the movement speed of all four Parrots. 3 seconds later, Zhang Yang's {Horizontal Sweep} was ready to be dispatched. He activated {Horizontal Sweep} and swiped his [Sword of Purging Devourer] at the four Parrots. Instantly, all of the parrots received more than 50,000 damage and they immediately turned to Zhang Yang.

Daffodil Daydream finally found her use for the battle. Felice had also transformed into her Dragonhawk form and started to attack the parrots with her AoE attacks. Everyone turned to eliminate the parrots. They all understood. If they do not kill the monsters as swiftly as possible, they would only be wasting Han Ying Xue's efforts. The risk of being overwhelmed by a second wave of Parrots also grew, the longer they leave them be. If the second wave of Parrots ever gets summoned and reinforces the first wave, it would be the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

Fortunately, these parrots were not immune to Fire Attacks. They did not have the ability to reduce Physical Attacks by 50% as well. After the four of them focused their full firepower on the Parrots, the Parrots were taken down, leaving nothing but scattered feathers all across the floor.

It was really frustrating to see the boss' Fire Damage Immunity and also the ability to reduce Physical Damage by 50%. It was a huge dampener to the firepower of the entire party. However, as a Violet-Platinum Tier boss, the Attack Power of Crimson Flame was not particularly high. The HP bar of the boss was reduced down to 50% before lava had even covered half of the ground.

But, the {Roaring Flame Transformation} of the boss was truly visually awe-inspiring.

Zhang Yang and Wei Yan Er could feel that they were plunging their weapons into a pile of lava. It was soft, and there was hardly any sensation of their hard weapons hitting other hard surfaces. It was just like a kid slapping away at a pile of mud! Every time a blade slid across the boss, the body of the boss would break like how a plastic bag would. Lava would ooze out of the cut and drip onto the floor. Every single drop of the lava was boiling hot!

Wei Yan Er seemed to be a little interested in the boss, "Interesting, this boss is like a lava man!"

"The boss would probably be dropping a piece of a fragment for the [Roaring Flame Inheritance]. So you better think it through carefully. Or else you will regret it after I hand it over to other members of our guild!"

"Tsk! I'm not a child anymore! Why would I be crying over that kind of trivial matter?" Wei Yan Er frowned a little while she looked at Zhang Yang. Still, her expression did betray a hint of uncertainty.

Zhang Yang did not specifically demand for Sun Xin Yu, Han Ying Xue and the other gang members to get a Class S [Inheritance] or a Class A [Inheritance]. There was only a total of 6 Class S [Inheritance] in the entire server. So it would be wise not to waste time on that. Meanwhile, although Class A [Inheritances] were not as unique as Class S [Inheritances, you would stand a better chance coming across a dancing panda in a bamboo forest.

In his past life, only Imperial Sky, Crimson Rage and The Radiance had players with Class A [Inheritance] in their guilds. Furthermore, Imperial Sky had two players with Class A [Inheritance, making them indisputably the Number One guild in the entire game!

Unfortunately, Sun Xin Yu had always been a loner. Although she was the only Thief with a Class S [Inheritance, she had never joined any guilds. Otherwise, Imperial Sky's position could have been challenged!

All that considered, it would already be enough for Zhang Yang's party members to get at least a Class B [Inheritance]. Getting a Class A [Inheritance] would require luck. Insisting on getting a Class A [Inheritance] would only make one miserable. After all, everyone had witnessed the power that high Class [Inheritances] could offer. No one would be generous enough to sell a fragment of Class A [Inheritance]!

After a flurry of attacks from Zhang Yang and his small party, the boss managed to pave two thirds of the floor in the cabin with lava. That was the moment the last hit struck and the four of them took down Crimson Flame. The boss dropped a few Violet-Platinum Tier equipment and a few Yellow-Gold Tier equipment. The Violet-Platinum Tier equipment did not have any reductions in their Required Levels, as this boss was not a Top Tier boss. Zhang Yang shoved everything into his inventory. As predicted, the fragment for the [Roaring Flame Inheritance] appeared on the ground!

It was a Class B [Inheritance]!

Even Han Ying Xue was a little shocked, then she said, "Well, this place sure is a place full of surprises and treasures! We have gotten two invaluable fragments of [Inheritances]! I wonder what other treasure awaits us further ahead!"

Getting a fragment of an [Inheritance] was as good as getting a full set of it. The fragments would resonate and call out to each other. It would only be a matter of time before players can get the full set. Two fragments of two different [Inheritance]? Zhang Yang still couldn't believe that they were greeted with such generous gifts upon killing the first two bosses.

Zhang Yang nodded absent-mindedly, more confused than ever. He had never heard of an island with such a name in his previous life!

Chapter 562: 'Light-Speed' Light

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Only one person would reject such great gifts.

Zhang Yang shoved the [Inheritance] fragment into his inventory with joy. The only disadvantage was that this fragment must be carried along with him. He could not put it in his bank or the warehouse of his guild. That would take up one precious slot in his inventory for a period of time.

If One Sword Stroke and his other fellow 'friends' ever knew about this 'ordeal', they would definitely give Zhang Yang a good beating! Who would be unhappy about having part of their inventory taken up by treasures?

"Sigh... what a stingy boss... just like noob tank over there. He didn't drop anything good for me. No good equipment, and not even a single [Skill Book]. Stingy!" Wei Yan Er was scolding the dead boss and ostensibly criticizing Zhang Yang, with her hands planted on her waist. Zhang Yang was annoyed to hear that coming from the little brat and ground his teeth together.

The four of them then proceeded through stairs as they made their way to the third floor of the cabin. They just had to defeat one more general before facing the final boss - Blackbeard Ditch. Since his generals were all Violet-Platinum Tier, Blackbeard Ditch had to at least be a Mythical Tier boss!

The third floor of the cabin was basically identical to the previous floor. Other than a bunch of filthy pirate monsters, there was still a bunch of Parrots. The four of them slashed their way through the floor. The little brat was getting addicted to slashing up the monsters. She even leaped into the air, her eyes cold and glowing evil red.

Zhang Yang nervously sent a private message to Han Ying Xue. He said, "Little brat is turning into a total maniac. I'm worried for her future husband."

"Hey hey hey! Don't you dare have any ideas!" Han Ying Xue hissed. She was acting like a hen trying to protect its chick. "If you dare to do anything on Yan Er, I shall 'snip''snip' you!"

Zhang Yang could feel a chill running up his spine. He liked the little brat, but as a younger sister figure, not the romantic kind of love! Furthermore, the little brat was a little slow and immature. Only god knows when she would grow up. So, why the rush then?

"Rest assured, even if I become a 100 year-old hoodlum, and even if little brat is the last female on earth, I will never have any ideas on her!" Zhang Yang swore as earnestly as he could, "Happy now?"

"Humph! Only an idiot would really feel more relieved after hearing those cliché lines! I better stop the little brat from coming home so frequently!"

"...why do I have a feeling that you're not telling me everything. It's like you have something else in mind...or someone else? Oh, haha! You must be jealous of the Zhao Sisters! Wait, you don't want the little brat bringing them to our home, right? What the hell! Why take such a roundabout fashion there? You could have just told me straight! You really took me for a ride there!"

As they were having their 'sweet' talk, the party rushed forwards like a hot knife cutting through butter. They had no fears or worries of crossing swords with Elite Tier monsters. Their power turned tons of monsters into tons of experience points. Each of their experience bars were rising up at an unrealistic rate.

More than two hours later, they stood before the third boss.

Unlike the previous two bosses, this boss was called 'Light'. He had a tall and slender body, so slender that he could pass off as a skeleton in the dark. He wore pale-yellowish clothes. More importantly, he stood on the ground like a bamboo pole. He looked like he was in his mid 30s, with two small whiskers above his mouth. Wearing a pair of brown-tint glasses, he looked wretched.

['Light-Speed' Light] (Mythical, Humanoid)

Level: 130

HP: 39,000,000

Defense: 5,560

Attack: 31,653 - 37,653 (Determined as Physical Attack, but causes Fire Damage)

Skills:

[Motion of Lightning: Moves to another place in an extremely short period of time. That is enough for him to avoid most attacks!

[Light and Shadow Transformation: Transforms into 'Light and Shadow'. Increases 50% Nature Damage dealt. Immune to all Nature Damage and Nature-based Skills received. Reduces 50% Physical Damage received.

[Ray of Fatality: Fires a deadly beam and causes 40,000 Nature Damage to the target. With the target as the central point, fires countless beams into the surrounding, causing 40,000 Nature Damage to all targets within the range of 20-meter radius.

Note: One of the three generals under Blackbeard Ditch. The user of 'Shadow and Light' Devil Fruit. Has the power to control light.

A Mythical Tier boss!

A Mythical Tier boss before the final boss? Furthermore, this boss would also probably drop a fragment for the [Light and Shadow Inheritance]. However, Zhang Yang could not remember from his previous life on whether this [Inheritance] was Class A or Class B.

But there was one thing he was very sure of. When the core players of the guild get their hands on these high Class [Inheritance, Lone Desert Smoke could really lay the first brick to becoming the real and powerful Number One guild in the China Region, or even Number One in the entire world!

When it really goes down to that, Zhang Yang could launch a direct assault on any large Region that irks him! With a large number of players activating their {Inheritance Transformation} Skills at the same time, they could really level down an entire empire within days! They could just lay waste to that particular Region and interrupt them in their leveling progress!

"Silly Yu, that's a Mythical boss!" Han Ying Xue prodded Zhang Yang's back with her fingers as she spoke softly.

"Stop acting cute! It doesn't suit your style!" Zhang Yang smiled, "Should we summon Fantasy Sweetheart and the others over, or should I just activate my {God of War Transformation} Skill for this guy?"

"Just activate your {God of War Transformation}. This boss can release AoE attacks like how electricity spreads. If we clump the area up with more people it'll be harder dodging them." Han Ying Xue said.

Zhang Yang gave it some thought. His {God of War Transformation} could last for 2 hours. After killing the boss, they would still have to clear the monsters on the fourth floor. If the number of the monsters are as many as it was on the third floor, then they should be able to push on much quicker under the support of his {God of War Transformation}. The 'Transformation' should still last for another 30 minutes when they reached the final boss - Blackbeard Ditch.

That should suffice!

Zhang Yang summoned Whitey out from his inventory. Although this Yellow-Gold Tier [Mount] could only provide very limited support in contrast to the powerful party, the boss had immunity against all Nature-based damage. Thunderhawk would be helpless against the boss. Zhang Yang would have to use Whitey in that battle. So he nodded and said, "I'm starting the battle."

Upon activating his {God of War Transformation}, streams of light, in 7 different colors began to radiate from the back of Zhang Yang, as a pair of magnificent wings sprouted out of his back. He levitated into the air grandly. Han Ying Xue and Daffodil Daydream were completely mesmerized by the Zhang Yang's appearance.

Only Wei Yan Er was criticizing Zhang Yang that his wings were not real, as she continued to blame Zhang Yang for betraying her and snatching away her [Inheritance].

Shoof!

Thanks to his {God of War Transformation}, Zhang Yang's movement speed had exceeded the speed of many [Flying Mounts]. In just a blink of an eye, he had arrived behind the boss. Swinging his [Sword of Purging Devourer, he drew first blood.

"What a daring devil you are. You actually dare to defy me and use your weapon against me!" Light was speaking at such a slow pace that people would feel anxious listening to him. However, his movement speed was actually faster than the movement speed of Zhang Yang. In a flash, he had moved at a spot, 10 meters away from Zhang Yang.

That should be the {Motion of Lightning} of the boss. It did not bring shame to the word - 'Lightning'.

Light raised up his index finger as light started to gather around the tip of his index finger. The light formed into a chicken-egg-sized light ball. With a phew, the ball of light went straight at Zhang Yang!

{Spear of Obliteration}!

Zhang Yang immediately raised his right arm. He then threw out the sword from his hand, which later formed into the shape of a spear and went right through the middle of Light's chest. He did not flinch in the face of the oncoming laser.

Obviously, the {Motion of Lightning} of the boss also had a cooldown period. If that was not the case, no one would stand a chance against this boss. When that strike from the {Spear of Obliteration} landed on the chest of Light, blood oozed out from the stab wound and it caused 108,922 damage to Light. Although Light attempted to dodge the attack, he failed to do so, as he could not use his {Motion of Lightning} at that particular moment.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yang had already raised his shield and held it up in front of him. With his {Block} activated, 'Clang!', the beam of light was deflected away and pierced a hole the size of a fist in a wall. There, the beam vanished.

"You imbecile!" Light had taken a hit which he had not expected it. He finally started to turn serious. A beam of light flashed across the eyes behind the pair of brown glasses. A golden light flashed across the body of the boss, and turned the body translucent!

The boss had activated his {Light and Shadow Transformation}!

Every boss in this place was ferocious and deadly! Unlike the bosses they had encountered before in other maps, they would already activate their ultimate Skills the moment the battle begins. The other bosses would only activate their ultimate Skills, such as {Berserk} when their remaining HP drops to 20% or 10%. With these bosses using their powerful Skills the moment the battle begins, players would surely struggle against them!

But, who should be afraid now?

Zhang Yang had a Class S {God of War Transformation} Skill!

With a wave of his hand, he threw the {Glare of the Death God} straight at the boss. This time, the god had eyes for Zhang Yang. The {Glare of the Death God} was finally not resisted by the boss!

"What is this!" Light let out an angry roar as he realized that there was a wretched-looking dark skull forming at the top of his head.

Zhang Yang and the ladies began to unleash hellfire upon the boss. Because the boss was affected by the {Glare of the Death God}, they were only focused on hitting the boss as many times as possible, regardless of the damage.

'- 390,000!'

'- 390,000!'

...

The three DPS players, two Battle Companion, and one [Mount] surrounded the boss as they launched their assaults at the boss as aggressively as possible. Although the rate of triggering the special effect of the {Glare of the Death God} was as low as 10%, they still managed to trigger it several times in a row! Light was receiving a series of damage that reached up to 390,000 damage! Furthermore, these damage were directly inflicted upon the boss. It would still be futile even if the boss activates his {Light and Shadow Transformation}.

That felt way too good!

"Now this is what we called a 'Boss-Killer' Skill!" Daffodil Daydream praised.

Zhang Yang, sighed, saying, "It would have been great if the rate of resisting the Skill would be more kind."

"When things are already so good, you should stop asking for more! Theoretically speaking, if you can last for 10 hours against the assaults of a boss, even if the boss is a Celestial Tier, they would still be taken out by this {Glare of the Death God}. If their rate of resisting is not high, then what is the point of bosses and tiers, then?" Han Ying Xue was surprisingly rational.

"You bastards!" Light let out a thunderous shout that shook the sky in rage. The battle had just begun not long ago, and the boss had already been dealt heavy damage. He was very mad and pointed at them with his index finger. A blinding beam of light shot from the tip of his finger. It went right through the body of Wen Yan Er.

-- {Ray of Fatality}!

Instantly, the little brat received 40,000 damage from that strike. Then, countless beams of lights shot out from her body.

Even though Zhang Yang could fly, he could not outrun the Skill. He was struck by one of the beams and received 40,000 damage, just like Wei Yan Er. But, with his {God of War Shield} activated, his Passive Damage Immunity had reached 40%. Together with the other of Damage Absorption abilities of his equipment, Zhang Yang only received a total of 21,114 damage.

That 20,000 damage was a mere fraction of his 5,380,000 HP.

Han Ying Xue, Daffodil Daydream and Felice were attacking from the rear, using most of their ranged attacks. They were not caught up in the spread attack of the {Ray of Fatality}. However, Whitey, Wei Yan Er and the other battle companions could not avoid their fate. Without the {Iron Build} to boost its Maximum HP, Whitey only had over 36,200 HP, even when with the blessing of {Vitality Aura}. It was instantly killed!

The Battle Companion of Wei Yan Er was only a Yellow-Gold Tier. Without having any Violet-Platinum equipment on, Reina's HP was even lesser than the total HP of Whitey. She was also instantly killed.

However, they could not contribute much in providing more damage output to the firepower of the party in the first place. That was not their main purpose anyway. They were there to trigger the special effect of the {Glare of the Death God}. It did not matter if they were sacrificed while trying to accomplish the main goal!

Chapter 563: Blackbeard Ditch

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Since Zhang Yang had activated his {God of War Transformation} Skill, he basically did not require Han Ying Xue to heal him at all. The 'Transformation' Skill boosted him with an additional 75% HP. He also got to use his {Shield Wall} once, every two and a half minutes. Those circumstances should be enough to keep him alive well enough until they slay the boss!

Unfortunately, the [Titan Chest Plate] was only a Level 80 Violet-Platinum Tier equipment. The special effect of the piece had begun to deteriorate after he reached Level 100. When he is able to reach Level 110, the special effect should get deteriorated even more because of its attributes that are based on percentage ratio. After all, this [Titan Chest Plate] was merely a knockoff instead of a Godly equipment.

Still, the boss was not easy to deal with. The {Light and Shadow Transformation} provided the boss the special attributes to reduce any Physical Damage that he receives by 50%. Since Zhang Yang and Wei Yan Er mostly relied on Physical attacks, they were having a difficult time in bringing down the HP bar of the boss. The {Motion of Lightning} was even more irritating. This Skill was basically similar to the Skill {Block}. It could allow the boss to dodge against any form of attacks -- other than Skills that state otherwise, for instance, the Skill {Killing Cleave}.

Furthermore, the cooldown period for the {Motion of Lightning} was extremely short. The boss could actually use it once every 10 seconds!

Sometimes, when the boss was lucky enough, he could dodge 3 to 4 attacks at the same time with the {Motion of Lightning}, giving the party a hard time!

Fortunately, Zhang Yang was also insanely powerful in his {God of War Form}. The boss was no threat to him. So it is only a matter of time before they bring down the boss.

"You imbeciles never stand a chance against me!"

"I am invincible!"

"Allow me to crush your skulls with my might!"

The HP bar of the boss reduced rapidly as he constantly roared. In less than 20 minutes, he was close to dying.

"Haha! A super boss should drop something nice!" Wei Yan Er could no longer hold her greed back. She actually went up to the boss and tried to dig around his pockets!

Zhang Yang could not help but to wonder, would this little brat still probe her husband's ever single pocket for money, every single day after she gets married?

Zhang Yang's imagination started going wild. He suddenly had an urge to use a time-travelling device to take a peek on how the little brat would do in the future, 10 years from now.

"No! No! This is impossible!" Light was struggling for his life. His rate of activating the {Motion of Lightning} increased by a notch. He could use it once every 5 seconds now! Most of the super Skills that Zhang Yang and his ladies cast missed their target.

Zhang Yang let out an angered cry and activated his {Indiscriminate}. With a full Rage bar ready for use, he activated his {Killing Cleave} in an attempt to end the boss once and for all!

'-422,986!'

{Killing Cleave} was unblockable and undodgeable! The {Indiscriminate} ensured that every single hit that landed on a target with HP bar lower than 20% would surely be a Critical Strike for 10 seconds!

Unfortunately, the boss had that one special attribute to reduce any Physical Damage received by 50%. Although it was a Critical hit, the {Killing Cleave} only caused half of its potential damage. The Critical Hit was completely nullified!

Still, that damage was no small amount. A damage of 420,000 would be more than 1% of his HP bar! He only had about 2% HP left, and this strike had almost ended him! Now, Light only had about 1% HP left!

{Dance of the Heaven and Earth}!

The little brat could not stand letting Zhang Yang triumph over the boss all by himself. So she activated her super Skill to end the battle.

Upon entering the Chaos Realm, there was a tremendous increase in the amount of HP for both players and bosses. An amount of 100,000 damage was once a great deal, but it no longer had such power in the Chaos Realm. The Basic Damage of Zhang Yang's {Indiscriminate} alone could already reach up to 400,000 damage, without it being a Critical Hit!

With a swift {Killing Cleave} from the little brat, the last drop of HP was taken out. He let out a miserable cry and collapsed onto the floor of the cabin. The loot burst out of his body like a ruptured water balloon.

Zhang Yang did not waste any single second. He quickly said, "Little brat will stay behind and pick the stuff up. The rest of us will head on! We can take a look at the loot while on the move!"

He had already set the Item Distribution mode to All-Pick.

Of course, Wei Yan Er had no beef with that, and she made her way to the items and picked them up with joy.

The party then charged on to the fourth floor of the cabin. Since Zhang Yang had already activated his {God of War Transformation}, the party did not have to hold anything back. Instead, they charged forward with everything that they had in attempt to blitz through the floor. Zhang Yang lured a large number of pirates into one spot and activated his Skills repeatedly. Upon activating {God of War's Crushing Strike}, {Horizontal Strike}, {Thunder Strike}, and the triggering of the special effect of his {Sword of the Purging Devourer, Zhang Yang was hitting the monsters as hard as a tsunami! In just a brief moment, the pirates were all wiped out, and the party gained a substantial amount of experience points.

Wei Yan Er had also begun to post the attributes of the loots one by one. She said, "The boss had dropped a total of 2 Mythical Tier equipment, 3 Violet-Platinum Tier equipment, two [Skill Books, and a piece of a fragment for an [Inheritance]. So which one do you guys want to start with?"

Zhang Yang was swinging his sword about as he spoke, "Forget about the Violet-Platinum Tier equipment. We cannot afford to wait until we're all Level 130 just to equip them. Let's look at the Mythical Tier equipment first. We will move on to the [Skill Books] after that. Since that the [Inheritance] is just a Class B, I'll assume that none of you would want it. So let's just forget about it too!"

"You really are hard to please!" Wei Yan Er shrugged and said, "Well, I'm an easy going person after all. Fine, fine I'll please you."

She looked into her inventory and moved her hand around. Then, she took out a piece of equipment and posted its attributes. It was a cute pair of pink panties. However, this panties would not be visible if the player equipping it is also equipped with a Chest Plate or a Robe.

[The Flowery Panties of Light's First Love] (Mythical, Cloth Armor)

Defense: 32

Vitality: 1,926

Intelligence: 905

Spirit: 393

Equip: Increases Maximum HP by 3,800 points.

Equip: Increases Maximum MP by 1,800 points

Equip: Increases both Damage and Healing Efficiency by 3.5%.

{Unidentified}

Required Level: 130

Special: Reduces 20 levels of the Required Level.

Note: There's nothing that Light can't steal.

The attributes of this equipment were top Tier. It even had additional Maximum HP, additional Maximum MP, and also large increase in Damage! This equipment also reduced 20 levels from its Required Level. Based on its attributes alone, this panties was almost perfect in all aspects!

However, the name of this equipment was also one strong reason that Han Ying Xue and Daffodil Daydream were frowning hard upon seeing it!

"Cousin sis, Daffodil! Which one of you will take this?" Wei Yan Er asked.

The two ladies hesitated for a moment. It was powerful, and based on that alone, there was no reason to decline it. However, the name alone was repulsive enough! Well, this was a second-hand good after all. Furthermore, it had been stolen and stowed away by a wretched middle-aged man for god-knows how long. Only god knows what he would have done with it, or if he had worn it himself!

Zhang Yang laughed at the two ladies and he said, "You two just toss for it. Whoever loses, take the equipment!"

The two ladies nodded. After tossing for it, Daffodil got a smaller roll. She was forced to keep the panties.

If other players were to see how the two ladies were pushing away such a great pair of panties, they would definitely be frowning hard! The name was the only issue there! They could have just ignored that aspect! It was a Level 130 Mythical Tier equipment after all. The best part about it was that players could already equip it when they reach Level 110! It should be one of the most powerful equipment for players around Level 110!

Wei Yan Er moved on to the second equipment and post its attributes up. Then, she suddenly said, "This is mine, noob tank! Don't you dare snatch it from me!"

[Light Beam Protector's Greaves] (Mythical, Heavy Armor)

Defense: 160

Vitality: 2,012

Strength: 931

Agility: 340

Equip: Increases Maximum HP by 4,000 points.

Equip: Increases both Damage and Healing Efficiency by 3.5%

Equip: Absorbs 384 Damage when struck.

{Unidentified}

Required Level: 130

Special: Reduce 20 levels from the Required Level.

A high Tier equipment that boosts Attack and Defense at the same time! Even though one could not see whether this equipment was more to Offense or Defense, it would still be a powerful piece!

The trousers Zhang Yang had was also a Mythical Tier equipment, along with a Level 120 Mythical Tier Greaves. Although the Greaves was 10 levels lower than the [Light Beam Protector's Greaves, the difference between the attributes of these two equipment were not really that much. Therefore, he did not intend to fight the little brat. He only nodded and agreed to let the little brat have it.

Wei Yan Er gave a sweet smile at Zhang Yang and said, "That's more like it! I shall put more good words about you to Cousin sis, so that she will be more gentle with you!"

"Of course, it's necessary!" Zhang Yang laughed out loud.

Han Ying Xue stared at the little brat incredulously, and she said, "Am I not gentle?"

"We haven't even taken a look at the [Skill Books] yet!" Wei Yan Er switched the topic by waving a book with a red hard cover about. She threw it over to Zhang Yang, "Now this is yours, noob tank!"

[Skill Book: Superior Thunder Strike]

Use: Teaches you the {Strengthened Thunder Strike}.

Required: {Thunder Strike}

Required Level: 100

Thunder Strike was basically an exclusive Skill that only Guardians had. Since Wei Yan Er couldn't learn the Skill for her own usage, she generously gave it to Zhang Yang without hesitation.

Zhang Yang immediately took the [Skill Book] and held it against his body. He had not heard of this Skill before. So, he learned it to find out what the Skill could do.

[Superior Thunder Strike (Passive): Strengthens your {Thunder Strike}, increasing your Movement Speed Reduction rate up to 90%. Duration is extended for another 10 seconds. However, the target will regain 10% movement speed every second. Within the period of time, the target has a 1% chance to experience a "Torn Hamstring" effect. When the target does so, the target will not be able to move at all for 5 seconds.

Awesome! This Skill should be useful!

This Skill only acted as a strengthening factor to his {Thunder Strike}. Zhang Yang did not have to spend additional rage points and wait for Global Cooldown among Skills. Upon learning this passive Skill, he would still be using his {Thunder Strike} as per usual, however, it would have more powerful effects on his targets. That would make him even more powerful!

"So what's the other [Skill Book, then?" Han Ying Xue was looking at the little brat, her eyes glittering.

"Hmm... unfortunately, this one is not yours as well... cousin sis." Wei Yan Er shook her head and took the other [Skill Book] out from her inventory. Then she said, "This one is for sister Daffodil!"

After receiving the [Skill Book] from the little brat, Daffodil Daydream tapped it on her and learned the Skill. That was also an 'Enhancement-type' [Skill Book]. After she had learned the Skill, she posted it onto the party channel.

[Superior Explosive Flame: When your {Explosive Flame} causes damage, you will gain an additional effect. Increases your next chanting speed by 50%. Lasts for 3 seconds.

{Explosive Flame} has a 10-second cooldown period. So, the user could increase their next chanting speed for their next spell by 50%, every 10 seconds. Although it wasn't really some sort of super powerful Skill, Pyromancers and Spellcasters used this Skill quite often. Furthermore, it was like a free enhancement to a user of {Explosive Flame}. Why would players with the Skill wouldn't want it then?

Although Light was a Mythical Tier boss, the [Inheritance] he dropped upon his death was merely a Class B [Inheritance]. However, Zhang Yang and the two ladies were amazed by it. Only Wei Yan Er was feeling discontented as she continued to complain. She really wanted a Class A [Inheritance, after all.

The moment they were done distributing the loots, the party was almost done clearing up the monsters on the fourth floor. Soon after, the four of them finally arrived right in front of the final boss, Blackbeard Ditch.

This heavily-bearded man was scratching his ears and cheeks in anxiety. At the same time, he was tossing and turning the Treasure Map around, gazing at it intently. He would put it on the table for a while, and then toss it into the air just to see what would happen. It seemed that he had not discovered the secrets that were hidden in the map, as he looked annoyed and anxious at the same time.

[Ditch, Leader of the Blackbeard Pirates] (Mythical, Humanoid)

Level: 130

HP: 130,000,000

Defense: 5,560

Attack: 40,204 - 52,204 (Determined as Physical Attack, but cause Shadow Damage)

Skills:

[Blastoff: Quakes the ground, causes 50,000 Physical Damage to all targets within the range of 40 meters radius.

[Darkness Transformation: Transforms into the form of Darkness. Increases 50% Shadow Damage. Immune to all Shadow Damage and Shadow Skills. Reduces 50% Physical Damage received.

[Devouring Darkness: Devours all targets within the range of 40 meters radius and digests them. Players must kill the Blackbeard Ditch's Illusion that spawns before then, in 30 seconds. If they succeed, they can escape the Darkness, causing 100,000 Damage to Ditch. If the players fail, they will die immediately, healing Ditch by 1% of his maximum HP.

[Dark Arrow: Randomly attacks a target in range, causing 40,000 Shadow Damage to the target. Range: 3 - 40 meters.

Note: This is the Captain of the Blackbeard Pirates, the man that sails fearlessly across the boundless seas, unanimously agreed upon the sole holder of the adjective - 'Brutal'! Ditch is the user of the Dark-dark Fruit, he has the special power to control Darkness.

"100 million HP!" The four of them glared intensely.

Because the boss had the Skill {Devouring Darkness}, he had a chance to recover 1% of his HP every time one player falls to his {Devouring Darkness}. It was a total amount of 1,300,000 HP that the boss could heal! So, how difficult would Blackbeard Ditch's Illusions be, then? If the game has made it too powerful, then the boss would be invincible!

At that moment, the {God of War Transformation} of Zhang Yang would expire in 36 minutes.

Thanks to the {God of War Transformation}, the total amount of DPS Zhang Yang could reach was about 100,000 damage. However, because the boss had the ability to reduce 50% on the Physical Damage that he receives when he is in his {Darkness Transformation} form, Zhang Yang could only deal about 50,000 damage in every second. It would still require about 43 minutes to empty out the total amount of 130,000,000 HP that the boss had on him.

But, they still had a shot at killing the boss within 36 minutes. That being said, Zhang Yang's [Glare of the Death God] would have to be successfully activated. Furthermore, upon entering the critical stage of the battle, Zhang Yang's Attack would dramatically increase when the HP of the boss drops below 20%. The rest of it would depend on the other party members. None of them knew exactly how dangerous and powerful the {Devouring Darkness} was!

Furthermore, if the rate of activating {Blastoff} was too high, then Han Ying Xue would have trouble healing up everyone. Only Zhang Yang would not require her attention. He had his {Shield Wall} to heal himself.

Zhang Yang gave some thoughts about it, then he said, "When you are hit by the boss's {Blastoff}, just retreat immediately. Don't go back to hit the boss before your HP is healed back to full. If the cooldown of this {Blastoff} is brief, just stay away until we figure it out."

{Blastoff} could cause 50,000 Damage. Even though Zhang Yang had an abundance of HP, he could not sustain more than a few strikes from that Skill, if he was not in his {God of War Transformation}.

To kill a super boss, one must summon a large number of players to do it!

Chapter 564: Ferocious Battle with Blackbeard

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Furthermore, all players that are joining the boss battle should be up to a certain standard. At the very least, they should be able to kill the illusion of the boss within the 30-second time frame. If they fail to kill the illusion, they would only end up aiding the boss by healing the boss 1% again and again, if they were to die one after another. That being said, 100 players getting killed by {Devouring Darkness} would already heal the boss completely! By then, it would be better to give up on the boss battle rather than torment oneself.

The three ladies seemed to have understood the danger of the Skill. They nodded to express their acknowledgment.

Zhang Yang took a deep breath. With a flap in his wings, he flew up into the air like a god and dove down towards the boss. In the blink of an eye, Zhang Yang had arrived before the boss and started with his assaults. With a shoof, he activated his {Charge} and swung his [Sword of Purging Devourer] at the boss.

'- 98,772!'

Right after the blow, Zhang Yang's Rage Bar went over its regular capacity!

'- 222,408!'

Unfortunately, the {Frost Strike} did not cause any Frost Effects on the boss -- If the Skill could cause a Frost Effect on the boss, Zhang Yang could delay the boss from entering his {Darkness Transformation} form for 10 seconds, at the very least. That would have given Zhang Yang more time to cause a great deal of damage to the boss, theoretically.

"Huh?" Ditch was a little astounded. A strange dark light flashed across the eyes of the boss as he threw a powerful punch towards Zhang Yang, pushing Zhang Yang a few steps back. "It's you! If you have made it here, that means, Light and Snow are dead? Humph! What a bunch of useless imbeciles!"

Suddenly, the entire body of the boss quivered as he set his eyes upon the Treasure Map that he was holding in his hand. He could not help but to shout in shock, "I see! I got it! The Treasures is hidden beneath this island, all along!"

Ditch laughed boisterously as he rolled the Treasure Map up and pushed it into one of his sleeves. He glared at them murderously and said, "You f*cking boy, I'm going to get the Treasure. I have no time to deal with you. Just die and save me the trouble already!"

The air began to rumble.

The boss was suddenly shrouded in a barrier of darkness, as streams of dark energy surged and circled around his body. All of the sudden the dark energy flew up into the sky, piercing through the floors of the previous four levels. If one were to look up, layers after layers of holes could be seen. However, the light would never reach the floor of this battle. The dark energy was a rampaging, violent concentration of abyss incarnate. It was like a black hole, drawing in everything, including light. The sunlight from outside would be completely dissipated before even touching the ground.

Dark shrouds were beginning to gush out into the surroundings, engulfing the entire cabin into darkness. The dark energy filled up the floor of the cabin up to the knee levels of Zhang Yang and the ladies.

{Darkness Transformation}!

Zhang Yang charged up to the boss and activated his {Destructive Smash}. However, his sword felt like it had been stuck into a pile of mud. The cut only managed to cause a small part of the dark shroud to disperse. It seemed like the body of the boss had transformed into a dark shroud. Spooky!

'-102,242!'

With the boss's ability to reduce 50% of all Physical Damage that he would receive, Zhang Yang could only deal about 100,000 damage to the boss with his {Destructive Smash}.

{Glare of the Death God}!

With an uneasy sense in his chest, Zhang yang threw his best boss-killer Skill onto Ditch!

A dark skull began to form on top of the boss's head. The skull revealed a wretched smile, looking extremely spooky as well.

"What the hell is this?" Ditch was very surprised by what he saw. His 'instinct' told him that this skull was extremely dangerous!

The super boss on every map would have their own 'Personalities'. It was the developer's idea to implement such a system, to bring the characters of the bosses to life. The way the bosses talk and react should all be compatible to the standard of being a 'person'. Therefore, this boss could also show fear, excitement, anxiousness and other complex 'emotions'. So, it would not be possible for Ditch to act like a player who realized that he was being casted with a Skill. However, the boss would still be capable of receiving 'secret notifications' from the system to know that the {Glare of the Death God} would pose a deadly threat to him!

After witnessing that the {Glare of the Death God} had taken effect, Han Ying Xue and the other ladies cheered. Without wasting any of their precious time, they began to launch their assaults at the boss as rapidly as they could. They were trying to maximizing the chance of triggering the special effect of the Skill before time ran out.

'-1,300,000!'

'-1,300,000!'

Numerous damage values popped up on top of the boss, forcing him to act in a hurry. Ditch swung his fist, shrouded by dark energy, straight towards Zhang Yang.

A Level 130 Mythical Tier boss was so much stronger than Zhang Yang. The impact from every single punch from the boss trembled across Zhang Yang's entire body, making Zhang Yang stagger back each time he was struck by the fist. His left hand that was holding the shield rang with numbness. He could barely hold the shield up with his arm, right after the series of punches!

Within 7 seconds, the special effect of the {Glare of the Death God} had already been triggered for as many as 10 times. The HP of the boss had already dropped by 10%! Ditch roared in rage as he crossed his clenched fists together, before spreading his arms wide, double backhanding the areas beside him. His fists collided into the empty spaces to his left and right.

Bam! Bam! Crack!

The very air right in front of Zhang Yang and the ladies suddenly began to crack, like how a mirror would crack. Then, the cracked space shattered into pieces. The pieces shot out at the four of them like sharp blades!

{Blastoff}!

The four of them received a basic damage of 40,000 Physical Damage. Other than Zhang Yang, the 3 ladies only had about 60,000 to 70,000 HP. They were only left with approximately 40% HP remaining. It had put them in perilous positions. The ladies were so shocked that they kept backing up until they were more than 40 meters away from the boss. They could not afford to be struck by the boss's {Blastoff} or {Dark Arrow}. If they did, they would be instantly killed!

Han Ying Xue quickly healed herself up. Meanwhile, Wei Yan Er and Daffodil Daydream were using their own [Bandages] in an attempt to heal themselves up as quickly as possible. They wanted to reengage into battle to channel their damage output on the boss.

However, right after Han Ying Xue healed up the three of them back to their full health, the boss did it again. He spread his arms wide, and once again backhanded the empty spaces to his left and right, just like before! The space within 40-meter range from the boss was shattered completely!

"It was just 11 seconds after he used that Skill!" Zhang Yang said. So that was the time interval when the boss would use his {Blastoff}.

"Hahaha! What a bunch of weaklings! Just for me!" Ditch let out a good laugh as he revealed his teeth, some of which were blackened. The stench of booze came right out from his mouth. With his fists colliding into the empty spaces around him once more, Ditch had shattered the entire cabin to ruins with his {Blastoff}. He actually turned the 'Indoor Environment' straight into an 'Outdoor Environment'!

As time passed by, he kept repeating what he did to activate his {Blastoff}. The space around him continued to shatter. The scene was grand and spectacular!

After 3 consecutive {Blastoffs}, Felice and Thunderhawk had to retreat. They only had about 180,000 HP on them. Three {Blastoffs} in a row was enough to send them outside Death's doorstep.

"There is no way we can pull this off!" Wei Yan Er was hanging her head dispiritedly. She was a Melee-type player. She would require 4 seconds in order to get in range in order for her to whack the boss. Then she would require 4 seconds to get out of the effective range of the {Blastoff}. Meanwhile, the boss had already activated {Blastoff} for 3 times. First, it took 11 seconds for the boss to strike out with {Blastoff} again, and the second time, it only took the boss 9 seconds before he activated his third {Blastoff}!

Within the shortest period of cooldown, Wei Yan Er was only be able to run up to the boss and hit the boss for 1 second before she needed to start running away from the boss. There was more running than hitting!

"Tremble before me! Tremble before the despair of Darkness that is brought upon you!" The boss continued to laugh. He would just throw his punches at Zhang Yang and activate his {Blasoff} once a short while to cause havoc to the surroundings. The battle was ferocious at that point, that no words could properly describe it.

If Zhang Yang had not activated his {God of War Transformation}, if he did not have the knockoff version of heavenly powerful [Titan Chest Plate] with him, he wouldn't have stood a chance against the continuous assaults from the boss. Unless he calls upon the best Healers from his guild to take turn and heal him, Zhang Yang had to activate his {God of War Transformation} in order to survive the onslaught of the boss.

Wei Yan Er could almost do nothing to the boss at that stage. Meanwhile, Daffodil Daydream, Felice and Thunderhawk could still continue channeling their damage output on the boss. The furthest range attack for Ranged players and NPCs was 30 meters. If they needed to be 40 meters away from the boss to be safe from the impact of {Blastwave}, all they needed to do was to run 10 meters away in order to get out of the danger zone. Running over the distance of 10 meters would only require 2 seconds. So they would still have enough time for 3 spells before running off to wait out for the {Blastoff} to end.

However, the boss was not consistent. Sometimes, it only took 8 seconds for him to strike again. But sometimes, he would waited up to 15 seconds before activating {Blastoff}. If any of them were careless enough to get hit by a {Blastoff} in the face, followed by a {Dark Arrow}, they would be as good as dead.

As long as they were still alive, they could still deal some serious damage to the boss over time.

"I will eat you all!" Ditch suddenly let out a roar as he began to merge himself into the dark shrouds around him. Then he devoured Zhang Yang and Daffodil Daydream who had coincidentally went up to the boss to deal some damage.

All Han Ying Xue and Wei Yan Er could see was a pitch black shroud covering the space in the cabin. They could not see Zhang Yang and Daffodil Daydream, nor could they see any signs of the boss! Felice and Thunderhawk were left idle by the side.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yang found a shadow standing in the middle of the sea of darkness. The shadow looked similar to the appearance of the boss.

[Blackbeard Ditch's Illusion] (Summon)

Level: 130

HP: 300,000

Defense: 0

Attack: 10,000 (Determined as Physical Attack, but causes Shadow Damage)

Skills: None

Zhang Yang could not afford to waste any of the 30-second time frame. With a flap of his wings, Zhang Yang charged forward as he began to swing his [Sword of Purging Devourer] at the illusion. He gave the illusion a good normal swing from his sword, closely followed by his {Horizontal Sweep}, causing two large numbers of damage to the illusion.

'-95,221!'

'-197,234!'

Zhang Yang had almost killed the illusion instantly after the two strikes.

His DPS could theoretically reach up to a total of 96,000 damage upon activating his {God of War Transformation}. It would only take a brief instant for him to slay a monster with only 300,000 HP.

With another strike from his sword, Zhang Yang caused another high value of damage to the monsters. A yellow colour value of '-92,243!' popped right on top of the monster. The monster then opened up his arm and vanished into thin air. Right after that, Zhang Yang was instantly teleported out from the temporary dimension he was in and reappeared at the position where he last stood before being devoured.

There was no sign of the boss.

Zhang Yang understood it. Unless the 30 seconds were up, or all of the illusions were destroyed, the boss would not reappear back in the cabin.

"Haha, noob tank! Why didn't you get digested by the gastric juice of the boss?" Wei Yan Er laughed.

"I'll have you know that my body is superhuman! The boss knew he would suffer indigestion the moment he couldn't chew my hard flesh up, so he made the wise choice! He spat me out right away!" Zhang Yang was laughing while he tried to troll the little brat.

The time frame of 30 seconds was about to come to an end. Daffodil Daydream had finally reappeared back in the cabin. She had lost about 20,000 HP as she was battling the boss's illusion. It wasn't bad at all for her. It meant that she only got hit twice by the illusion while she was killing it. Judging from her DPS that had was only up to 10,000 damage, her performance was nothing short of a miracle!

She could not kill monsters with one or two hits like how Zhang Yang did. While she was in that solitary space, she could not get any healing support. Daffodil Daydream had to move around agilely while using her Status Restriction Skills to maintain a certain distance between the monster and herself. Under those sort of circumstances, she could still maximize her damage output. That required serious skill. She was indeed worthy of being one of the top 10 Spellcasters in China, during Zhang Yang's previous life!

The moment Daffodil Daydream reappeared, the boss had also reappeared close by her. Because two of his illusions were slain, Ditch had lost over 200,000 HP. However, this amount of HP that he lost was totally insignificant compared to his full bar of 130,000,000 HP!

By the standards of Zhang Yang, Wei Yan Er and Daffodil Daydream, they were able to kill each of the Blackbeard Ditch's Illusion that was spawn before each of them within 30 seconds. However, if Han Ying Xue were to be devoured by the Skill, she would definitely be dead. As she was also aware of that, she had maintained a gap of more than 40 meters away from the boss throughout the entire battle.

Under the oppressively powerful {God of War Transformation}, the HP bar of the boss was reducing swiftly! Victory was at the tip of their fingers!

Chapter 565: Darkness Inheritance

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

7 minutes before the {God of War Transformation} duration ran out, the HP bar of the boss had finally been reduced down to 10%!

Although the assaults of Daffodil Daydream, Felice, and Thunderhawk could not stay consistent, as they had to stop their assaults and run away from the boss, the three of them were still able to provide a certain standard of damage output at the boss. Furthermore, they were attacking with their Magic-type attacks, so their damage dealt on the boss were not weakened by the {Darkness Transformation} of the boss. They could still deliver half of their firepower even though they were required to move around constantly.

The DPS of these 3 Magic-type attackers had exceeded 10,000 damage. Even though they could not perform at full capacity, they could still deal a total amount of 15,000 damage in every passing second. That amount of damage should not be underestimated!

"You god damn f*ck! Why aren't you dead yet! Why are you still alive!" Ditch began to lose his patience as he started roaring in rage. After multiple attempts of bringing Zhang Yang to the brink of death, Zhang Yang would still somehow get back to full health! At the same time, Zhang Yang would also use some mysterious sort of method to reduce the boss's attack as well! The boss could not fathom that as he began to question how Zhang Yang could pull off such annoying stunts!

Of course, these were all possible because of Zhang Yang's {Shield Wall}! As the special effect of the [Titan Chest Plate] actively kicks up, Zhang Yang could recover 5% of his HP every single second!

"This is the difference between a man and a god! Ditch! You're just a man, and I'm a god! Bow before me and worship me!" Zhang Yang laughed out loud. The moment his {Shield Wall} was ready, he immediately activated it without any hesitation. The three transparent shields appeared and went around him, shielding him from all forms of attacks.

"This again!" The boss could only shout in rage helplessly. At first, he thought that he was way more powerful than Zhang Yang. He thought that he could have taken out Zhang Yang with ease. However, now that Zhang Yang had activated his {Shield Wall} repeatedly, the boss was totally helpless against him. He could only watch Zhang Yang heal himself back to full health each time he was about to die.

"Surrender your will to me, Blackbeard. Be a Battle Companion to one of my followers and I shall let you live!" Zhang Yang struck a price for the boss. The patch for the Battle Companion had stated clearly that any AI type NPCs that has certain intelligence of their own could potentially become a Battle Companion. That also included all powerful bosses in the game.

Ditch was a Mythical Tier boss after all. Even though his HP bar and Attack would not be as powerful as they were when he was still the boss, but a Mythical Tier would always triumph over others who were lower in Tier. Furthermore, the boss also had his powerful Skill - {Darkness Transformation}!

Since Zhang Yang already had Felice as his Battle Companion, he wouldn't have any need of recruiting Blackbeard as his Battle Companion. His other party members, however, might need to switch to a better Tier Battle Companion. The Battle Companions that they had were only Violet-Platinum Tier at best. Some of them even have Battle companions who were just Gray-Silver Tier. Having Ditch as a Battle Companion would definitely boost one's power level!

"Hahaha! You must be joking! I'm the man who is going to become the Pirate King! I shall serve under no one!" Ditch gave out a manic laughter as he smashed both of his fists into the empty spaces beside him. The rate of activating {Blastoff} had just increased again.

Daffodil Daydream and the others could no longer channel their damage output on the boss. Now, Zhang Yang was the only one who could kill the boss!

"Your answer is clear enough. Then, you die!"

Zhang Yang let out a thunderous battle cry as he activated his {Indiscriminate}. With his Rage Gauge full, he activated his {Killing Cleave}.

'-563,391!'

A very high value of damage appeared right on top of the boss. Zhang Yang widened his eyes a little, as he was shocked to see that amount of damage he caused on the boss. That was a hit, under the circumstances where all Physical Damage received by the boss had been reduced by 50%! The amount of damage would not be so high even if it was a Critical Hit! He quickly brought up the battle logs to have a look at the records. As expected, his {Killing Cleave} had triggered the Lucky Strike! Furthermore, his {Indiscriminate} had ensured that his {Killing Cleave} would deal a Critical Damage to the boss, causing Zhang Yang to deal 6 times of the initial amount of damage he was supposed to deal!

The sensation could not be described with words anymore!

Reducing over more than 500,000 HP with one hit was a little heavy on the boss, even though Ditch had a very long HP bar. Ditch was struck so hard that he was forced to take a few steps back. His eyes were murderous. He then let out a thunderous roar as he began to direct his fists that were shrouded in dark energy, straight towards Zhang Yang.

It was merely an attempt to delay the inevitable!

Felice had also reacted. She let out a cute roar as she transformed into her Humanoid form. Then, she charged up to boss, stabbing her lance at the boss repeatedly, trying to aid Zhang Yang.

-- she activated her {Absolute Defense} that made her practically invincible for two minutes.

Although the little lady was obedient, however, should Zhang Yang be in any form of danger, she would definitely step out of line to protect him. Zhang Yang could not do anything about it. After all, a Battle Companion had equal rights as a player, having their very own decision-making powers.

It was a fortunate thing that Felice would charge up and aid him in bringing down the boss. Unlike that super whiner Messick, he would have run away the moment he sensed any danger! He was a totally hopeless, unreliable Battle Companion!

"This... this is just outrageous!" Ditch's eyes were beginning to turn red. Well, he had already gotten his hands on the Treasure Map, and he had also found out the whereabouts of the Treasure. But, here he was being beaten up by a bunch of unknowns to the point that he could not do anything in return!

With Felice joining in, the HP bar of the boss reduced even more rapidly. The {Blazing Dragon's Spear} of that little lady could cause Fire Damage, which dealt a full amount of damage on the boss without being affected by the Physical Damage Reduction attribute. It would be unwise to underestimate the damage she's capable of dealing on the boss!

7%!

5%!

3%!

"No! No!" Blackbeard was finally panicking! He swung his two fists in an even faster manner, as if he was beating a drum. Bam! Bam! Bam! He continued to shatter the air around the area, pummelling Zhang Yang!

It was a futile, last 'ditch'!

2%!

1%!

0%!

"Argh!" Ditch let out his final scream. The dark shrouds flew back into the boss, and the surroundings were restored back to normal. Zhang Yang and the ladies could see the wreckage of the cabin once again. It really made them feel as if they had been marooned on an island for quite some time.

"Time to reveal what's in that pile of loots!" Wei Yan Er went up to the dead boss with joy. She had been bored to death, watching the battle from the sidelines. She was definitely in a mood to look at the loots now.

"We should get a total of 4 Class B [Inheritances, including the drop from this boss!" Daffodil Daydream spoke excitedly. After all, 4 Class B [Inheritance] would really improve the power level of the core players of Lone Desert Smoke.

"Haha! You were wrong!" Wei Yan Er corrected Daffodil as she picked up the loots.

"Hmm... the boss didn't drop any fragment of a Class B [Inheritance] at all?" Daffodil Daydream was crestfallen.

However, when Zhang Yang looked at the joyful face of the little brat, he knew that something was not quite right. It suddenly clicked to him, and he said, "The boss did drop a fragment for an [Inheritance]! However, it was not a fragment of a Class B [Inheritance]!"

"How can you such a smart monkey, noob tank?" Wei Yan Er curled up her lips into a smile.

"Could it be Class A [Inheritance] then?" Even Han Ying Xue was shocked to hear it.

Ditch was the final boss after all. It would make perfect sense that he would drop the fragment of a superior Class of [Inheritance].

"You're right! It's a Class A [Inheritance] fragment!" Wei Yan Er began to giggle. She revealed a dark piece of a metal fragment in her palm. It was a head of a sculpture. It seemed that the sculpture had been broken into a few pieces and this was the head of the sculpture.

[Darkness Inheritance Fragment Piece (1)] (Inheritance Class: A)]

Description: N/A

"It is really a Class A Inheritance!"

Wei Yan Er was so happy that her eyes had been squeezed into a single, horizontal line by her smile, and then she said, "Haha, this [Inheritance] is mine!"

"Alright, alright, it's yours!"

The other three of them were fine with it. Zhang Yang and Han Ying Xue had already gotten their own Class S [Inheritance]. Furthermore, this [Darkness Inheritance] was not suitable for a Spellcaster. So Daffodil Daydream did not dream about having it at all. Also, the Class S [Inheritance] for the Spellcaster Class had yet to be revealed. Daffodil Daydream still stood a chance at acquiring the Class S [Inheritance] for herself.

So currently, Lone Desert Smoke already had 2 players with Class S [Inheritances, 1 player with Class A [Inheritance, and 4 players with Class B [Inheritances]! With more time, Endless Starlight should be able to enter the Level 130 Map. Then he should be able to activate the linking quest for the Class B [King Kong Inheritance]. Of course, there was also Sun Xin Yu's Class S [Shadow Dancer Inheritance]! When everyone could finally get their hands on their own [Inheritances, Zhang Yang's party would be unstoppable!

Zhang Yang was excited and eagerly looking forward to seeing this dream come to fruition.

Upon knowing that the little brat had acquired a fragment of a Class A [Inheritance, Fatty Han and the others congratulated the little brat. Lost Dream, Hundred Shots, and Galileo began to beg Zhang Yang the moment when they discovered that there were still 3 more Class B [Inheritance] on Zhang Yang. They wanted to decide on and acquire an [Inheritance] for themselves as soon as possible.

Recently, Fatty Han had been on a mad rampage. With his powerful Class B [Inheritance, he was more powerful than Lost Dream, Hundred Shots and the others, even if he does not activate his {Vampire Transformation}! He could even tank against a boss when he transforms! Everyone was admiring that fatty. So, they had decided not to wait for Class A [Inheritances] to appear anymore. They believed that the 10% different in the Attack between Class A and Class B [Inheritances] would make little difference.

Lost Dream, Hundred Shots, and Galileo were basically the core members of Lone Desert Smoke. So Zhang Yang did not reject their requests, naturally. He informed them that he would pass the fragments to them once he reaches the Territory.

"Don't get overly excited just yet. We should carry on with the rest of our loot!" Zhang Yang rubbed Wei Yan Er's head as she giggled about the [Inheritance] fragment in her arms. It was actually pretty scary to see the little girl hugging a head in her arms...

Wei Yan Er was not happy with Zhang Yang rubbing her head, so she gave Zhang Yang a fierce stare all of a sudden. She slapped Zhang Yang's hand away and said, "You bus tart! Can't you just let me be happy for a moment? Don't spoil my mood, please!"

The little brat then threw all the loot onto the ground altogether. There was a total of 3 equipment and 1 [Skill Book]. Among the 3 pieces of equipment, one was a dark-green shield. Although the craftsmanship of the shield looked simple and plain, the shield radiated with some sort of powerful aura. The other two equipment was a staff that coral-red in color and a robe that was aqua-blue in color.

Zhang Yang picked up the shield. He was looking forward to see how powerful it was.

[The Guewitt's Shield] (Mythical, Shield)

Defense: 3,276

Vitality: 3,210

Equip: Increases Maximum HP by 6,400 points.

Equip: Absorbs 1,150 damage when being hit.

Equip: When you use {Block} successfully, you will automatically use {Shield Bash} on your target without consuming any Rage Points. It does not trigger the Global Shared Cooldown period.

{Unidentified}

Required Level: 130

Special: Reduces 20 levels on the Required Level.

Note: This is the shield that was once used by the legendary hero, Guewitt. However, tens of years ago, the Nth generation of Guewitt was robbed and killed by Blackbeard Ditch. So this shield had been in the possession of Blackbeard Ditch ever since.

"This shield really boosts a great deal of HP!" Daffodil Daydream praised it profusely, "Futhermore, the special effect seems very promising! It lets you automatically use a free {Shield Bash}!"

Well, that was true!

Ever since the developers had patched the game, players have had trouble in handling the Global Shared Cooldown system. Zhang Yang had to abandon some of his weaker Skills that only could attack a target at a time. With this shield, his {Shield Bash} no longer required him to wait out for any Global Shared Cooldown. That being said, he could now shove in another Skill without having to waste any of his Rage Points while blocking regularly.

With his current Basic Attack, Zhang Yang could already deal approximately 10,000 damage in a single hit, even when he could only cast one layer of {Cripple Defense} on the target. He could even reach up to about 50,000 damage in a single hit when he activates his {God of War Transformation} Skill!

Unfortunately, he would be required to reach Level 110 before he can equip the shield. Zhang Yang was currently at Level 106. He would still need to grind another 4 levels to reach the Required Level!

His focus for the coming days should be on leveling himself up. He shouldn't sway from his conviction on this. He should only think about other matters after he reaches Level 110!

Chapter 566: Ancient Creatures

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Along with the [Cobalt Helmet, Zhang Yang had finally gotten two pieces of equipment out of this quest. It was better than nothing.

The next item would be the coral-red staff.

[Coral Staff] (Mythical, Staff)

Magic Attack: 4,711 - 5.511

Equip: Increases both Damage and Healing Efficiency by 14%.

Equip: When you have succeeded in releasing a spell, there is a certain rate that the target would be stuck by corals. The target will not be able to move at all. Lasts for 5 seconds.

{Unidentified}

Required Level: 130

Special: Reduces 20 levels from the Required Level.

Although Daffodil Daydream was amazed to see it, she said, "Sister Snow, I already have the [Epicormic Branch of the Tree of Life]. You should have the staff instead!"

Her staff was also a Mythical Tier equipment. Although her staff was only Level 110, it wouldn't be too far behind than the [Coral Staff].

Han Ying Xue did not act like the hypocrite she sometimes was. She simply took the staff and shoved it into her inventory. She couldn't equip it just yet, as she had not met the Required Level to equip it, just like Zhang Yang.

The final piece of the equipment did not have the Special attribute that reduces the Required Level. As it was a Level 130 Violet-Platinum Tier equipment, it could only be shelved in The Little Merchandise Shop. They would already be able to equip a Mythical Tier equipment by the time they reach Level 130.

Zhang Yang took up the [Skill Book] as that was one of the items worth looking at.

[Skill Book: Superior Indiscriminate]

Use: Teaches you the Skill: Superior Indiscriminate.

Required: Indiscriminate.

Required Level: 100

"Huh? Another 'Enhancement-type' [Skill Book]?" Zhang Yang spoke out loud in surprise as he patted the little brat who was still floating on cloud nine with her [Inheritance] fragment, "Little brat, come back from your wild dream and look at this. Or else I'm using it for myself!"

Wei Yan Er finally snapped out of her wild dream and snatched the [Skill Book] away! Then, she quickly tapped it against herself and learned the Skill. She did it so swiftly as if she had believed every word Zhang Yang said. After that, only did she take a good look at the description of the Skill.

[Superior Indiscriminate: Increases the effect's duration of your {Indiscriminate} by 5 seconds.

The initial duration of the {Indiscriminate} was 10 seconds long. That being said, any physical attack from the players would surely be a Critical Strike. After the duration of the Skill becomes 15 seconds long, that would be a 50% enhancement to the Skill, even though it was just merely a 5-second extension!

"Wow, this is really a good place. There were so many [Mounts]. So much equipment, so many [Inheritances, and so many [Skill Books]! This is a land full of treasure!" Han Ying Xue could not hold in her money-grubbing face anymore as she continued to say, "We should just conquer this map and never share it with others!"

Zhang Yang only shook his head and said nothing. He had not heard of this place in his previous life. There had to be a significant change in the storyline of the quest that he had accepted earlier on. Or else, why would such a place be hidden from a bunch of hungry guilds that would devour its 'treasure' for their own benefits? It appeared that Zhang Yang might have picked up a unique quest, after all.

Zhang Yang picked up the Treasure Map from the dead body of the boss. Because he was the only one who had accepted the quest, the little brat and the other two ladies could not pick the quest item up.

'Ding! You have acquired an item: The Pirate's Treasure Map!'

'Ding! You have slain Blackbeard Ditch and reclaimed the Treasure Map!'

'Ding! You have completed a quest: The Pirate's Treasure Map, acquired 5,000,000 experience points!'

'Ding! You have automatically accepted a quest: Access to the Treasure!'

[Access to the Treasure!] (Difficulty: D-rank)

Description: You have reacquired the Treasure map! After a close study on it, you have discovered that the location of the Treasure is located in Baroque Island itself! Warrior, it's time to harvest the fruits of your victory! Move forward and claim the endless wealth that you have been promised!

Zhang Yang gently touched the Treasure Map. The Treasure Map then emitted out countless beautiful colorful lights and formed a hologram of the entire Baroque Island! Right at a corner of the map, a large red dot was blinking. It had to be indicating the exact location of the treasure!

A curved pathway leading to the treasure appeared on the Treasure Map. The four of them followed the map and arrived at the location in no time at all. Almost immediately, they found an entrance to a secret tunnel beneath a huge rock.

"I wonder what the treasures would be!" Wei Yan Er was pumped up with excitement, "I'm not that greedy, just give me tens of thousands of gold coins! That should be enough!"

"Yan Er, you have a big goal in life..." Han Ying Xue began to 'educate' the little brat with a life lesson, "How would tens of thousands of dollars ever be enough! You must at least ask for millions of dollars!"

The eyes of the two money grubbers flashed with gold and money as they were looking forward to see what the treasures would be.

Zhang Yang could not help but frown. Everything that these two would ever think was just money, and nothing else.

If the difficulty of this quest was D-rank, should they assume that this quest would be extremely easy then? The four of them took their time. About half an hour later, they arrived at the front of a cave after running through a series of twists and turns.

"So, where is the treasure?" Wei Yan Er blinked while staring into the cave. The cave wasn't really that big. A huge, black stone tablet right in the middle of the cave. The black stone tablet was enshrouded with strange dark light. The surroundings were totally empty.

Zhang Yang also felt strange about it, then he said, "Could they be underneath the huge stone tablet?

"Lift it up, then!" Wei Yan Er was definitely a violent girl. Right after she said that out, she immediately ran up to the stone tablet and put her hands on the solid stone tablet, carrying out her own suggestion.

"Stop!" the illusion of a Stone Giant was suddenly projected out of the stone tablet. It was shouting at Wei Yan Er with a furious face.

"Aiyah! Who are you to tell me what to do? Why would I stop if you say so?" Wei Yan Er frowned, as she could not lift the stone tablet at all. She grabbed her axe and swung it straight at the stone tablet.

Kuang!

A loud crash resounded across the entire area. Although the stone table seemed to have been very solid, it couldn't really take much of a hit, after all! After a series of sparks burst into the surrounding, the stone tablet was cleaved into half by the little brat and her axe.

"You --" the Stone Giant looked at the little brat. He could not even speak anymore.

"Humph! You stinky stone monster! What can you do to me?" Wei Yan Er pushed up her chest as if she was trying her best to push her pair of boobs 'higher' up.

Suddenly, the cave began to rumble.

The entire island began to tremble along with it. Countless rocks fell from the ceiling of the cave, crashing down upon Zhang Yang and the 3 ladies.

"Where's the treasure?" Wei Yan Er moved the scattered pieces of the rocks on the ground to look beneath that black stone tablet. She did not find any treasure chest or other loots beneath the piles of broken stone and bricks. Instead, she discovered countless of mystical patterns. Being players who had already played the game for quite a long time, they immediately recognized that those patterns were actually part of a large magic circle. They were standing on top of the magic circle all along, ever since they stepped into the cave!

From above their heads, dust and broken stones began to fall upon them. Meanwhile, Wei Yan Er and Han Ying Xue were dejected. They had longed for treasure and yet, they did not manage to get what they wanted, at all.

"Sigh..!" the Stone Giant was no longer angry. It sighed in resignation, and said, "It seems that no one will be able to escape what that is to come!"

"Mr. Stone Giant, what is this all about?" Zhang Yang stepped forward and asked the Stone Giant, "Isn't this a sacred place where Pirate King Roger buried his treasures?"

"Pirate King Roger? Buried treasures here?" The Stone Giant stared at him incredulously, then he shook his head and said, "What kind of nonsense is that? How did you even come across such an absurd rumor! My fellow Adventurers, you cannot be more wrong than this. It wasn't a bunch of treasure that was buried beneath that stone tablet. Demons were!"

The Stone Giant continued to explain, "Many years ago, so many years that I have lost count of it! We were following Captain Roger to sail across the seas, across the entire world! We conquered one region after another. When we came across this region, we also discovered this mysterious island. Captain Roger had also studied the terrain of the island very closely. That was how he stumbled across this hidden place. It was then when we realized that the seal was about to be broken! A large army of Ancient Creatures appeared, and we fought many battles and lost many of our brothers! By the end of it, we managed to annihilate the army of the Ancient Creatures! Captain Roger had given up 30 years of his life to stabilize the seal! Ever since then, the Ancient Creatures had remained in their own realm."

"So what was the deal with that Treasure Map then?" Zhang Yang took out the Treasure Map that led them to this location.

"This map contains the foul scents of those Ancient Creatures!" The Stone Giant was shaken up pretty badly. Then he said, "I finally understand! It must be one of their schemes! The foul Ancient Creatures that were sealed away must have created this map with their dark magic! Although they were sealed, they could still depend on the power that passes through the seal! They used the emotion "greed" in people in order to destroy the magic circle of the seal and release them!

Wei Yan Er quickly turned her head to another direction and she began to whistle and pretend as if nothing had happened.

Boom!

As they were talking, the entire island was shaking more and more violently. It wasn't just the falling dust and rocks anymore. The ground was beginning to crack, and the cracks began to expand further into the surroundings. Dark-red, boiling lava started oozing out of the cracks.

"No time to lose! These Ancient Creatures are about to break the seal! Go, go as quickly as possible! Bring the news to every corner of the earth! These Ancient Creatures cannot be brought down by just a few of you! You will need an army to fight off such foul and evil army of creatures!" The Stone Giant was panicking as he continued to say, "I shall create a temporary portal. Just go!"

The moment it finished talking, the Stone Giant began to chant a spell. A small portal appeared right before Zhang Yang and the ladies.

"Quickly! Go! Get out of here!" The Stone Giant urged.

Boom!

A loud explosive sound was heard. The next thing that Zhang Yang and the ladies saw was a gigantic cockroach appearing right in front of them all! Followed by a second one, a third one!

[Zergert Cockroach King] (Violet-Platinum, Beast)

Level: 125

HP: 12,500,000

Defense: 3,300

Melee Attack: 17,739 - 21,739

Skills: N/A

If it was just one or two of these Zergert Cockroach Kings, Zhang Yang would have stayed behind to slay them all without any fear. However, more foul cockroaches were sprouting out at every passing second!

Who would dare to stay back and fight?

"Let's get out of here!" Zhang Yang quickly shouted.

The three ladies could not afford to delay any further. They quickly ran towards the portal. After they went through the portal, the ladies arrived at the Teleportation Circle in White Jade Castle.

Zhang Yang looked at the Stone Giant and he said, "Mr. Stone Giant, how about you?"

"I was long dead!" Stone Giant revealed a slight grin as if he was content having a stranger like Zhang Yang actually caring about him. "I'm just a residue of my soul that was bound to the seal. My purpose was to warn anyone who set foot into the cave. But... it doesn't matter anymore. Don't blame the little girl for all this. Even if she did not act recklessly, the seal that Captain Roger put upon the stone tablet was going to fade anyway. It would only hold for another few years. Well, it's not really a bad thing that the seal has been broken. By breaking the seal, at least you know what's coming now! Warrior, if you have the courage and the power, just get back here and destroy the magic circle on this soil. You can do it after the magic seal has totally faded!"

'Ding! You have completed a quest: Access to the Treasure! Acquired 100,000 experience points!'

'Ding! The Stone Giant has a quest for you: Preventing Future Trouble, will you accept it?'

Accept!

"Leave at once! My power is fading! I cannot hold the portal for much longer!" The Stone Giant roared.

At the same instant, one of the Zergert Cockroach King had sensed the presence of Zhang Yang. It immediately let out a screech and swung one of its thorny legs towards Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang quickly went through the portal right before the leg hit him. Right after he went through the portal, he arrived at the White Jade Castle as well. The portal behind him immediately collapsed and disappeared.

'Server Announcement: Large-Scale Legendary Quest: The Invasion of the Ancient Creatures has been activated! Countless Ancient Creatures will appear on Baroque Island, among the Camarro Islands. They will arrive at 7 pm, 3 days from today. These monsters shall depart from the island and launch their assaults on the entire world!'

'Server Announcement: All players can participate in the Legendary Quest, contributed in stopping the invasion of the evil Ancient Creatures. During the battle, players can get [Insect Shell] of the Tiers, Violet-Platinum, Yellow-Gold, and Gray-Silver. Players can exchange these [Insect Shell] over to the Event Merchant in all Main Cities for equipment. The best Tier of the equipment will be Violet-Platinum!'

'Server Announcement: These Ancient Creatures will probably be divided into 8 different forces when they are attacking the Main Cities. They will arrive at the Main Cities of each Region through portals! If the monsters manage to annihilate 3 or more Main Cities in each large Region, all players from that Region will receive a penalty of -1 level for the next Main City (starting from the 4th Main City) that falls! On the other hand, if the players can defend 3 or more Main Cities in each large Region from falling, all players from that Region will receive a reward of 1 level! Additionally, if players can stop the monsters by the portals in Ten Barren Seas, all players of that Region will receive a reward of 4 level!'

At that moment, the server was echoing the announcement repeatedly. It notified everyone about the upcoming Large-Scale Legendary Quest!

"Zhan Yu, was it you who did it?" before Zhang Yang could even catch his own breath, he received a private message from Snow Seeker.

"What do you mean was I the one who did it? I have been a clean and good man! I would never go to the club!" Zhang Yang attempted to make fun of Snow Seeker. Crimson Rage has always been really weird. Snow Seeker's fellow members of her guild were all bad girls. As the leader of the 'bad girls', Snow Seeker was surprisingly decent and upright. Zhang Yang would only fear the seduction that those 'Bad girls' like Perfumed Water, but he was very fond of making fun of Snow Seeker.

Snow Seeker was stunned for a moment, then only she realized that her wordings had a little ambiguity in them. She shrugged off his tease. Then she said, "I meant the Server Announcement about the Legendary Quest! Don't tell me you have nothing to do with it!"

"... It really had nothing to do with me! It was Yan Er that little brat that did something to trigger it!" Zhang Yang laughed. The moment when Zhang Yang and the ladies discovered the location of the 'treasure' had triggered the Legendary Quest. The only thing that would change was how the Legendary Quest would be triggered.

"You guys are real troublemakers!" Snow Seeker let out a sigh, then she said, "Let's discuss on how to stop the invasion of the Ancient Creatures, then!"

Zhang Yang nodded. Of course, he knew that one guild would not be capable of completing such a large-scale quest all alone! The only way of getting through this would be to combine the power of players from all of China!

So, Zhang Yang said, "Let's join up with Greensleeves Prince, One Sword Stroke, and the other guildmasters. We can't complete this Legendary Quest with only our guilds! We need every possible help that we can get!"

Chapter 567: The Legendary Quest

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Ancient Creatures would drop different Tier of [Insect Shells] upon their deaths. Those [Insect Shells] could be exchanged for equipment of ranging up to the Tier of Violet-Platinum. Although the amount of [Insect Shells] required for a particular equipment from the Event Merchant still remained unknown, it would always be best to collect as many [Insect Shells] as possible. It would be even better if the players could collect better Tiered [Insect Shells]!

The eight armies of the Ancient Creatures had departed from the Baroque Island. They were going to reach the Territories of the eight Main Regions through their portals within the Chaos Realm. That was mainly because the best places to lay siege on were the Territory Gateways of the eight Main Regions in the Chaos Realm!

More importantly, the Territory Gateways were all strategic locations that could really serve as a defensive line between the Chaos Realm and the outside realm of the game. Therefore, the Ancient Creatures would not be able to invade any further, as long as the defensive line of the Territory Gateways were not broken.

Meanwhile, as the Baron of Morning Town, Zhang Yang would have the main control over everything in the Territory on behalf of Lone Desert Smoke. He could just remove anyone or any guild that he was not fond of, from the Territory. After all, players that were incapable of defending against the hordes of Ancient Creature. They would perish instantly if they were to face the large army of the Ancient Creatures head on!

That could really remove a lot of unwanted troublemakers!

Furthermore, if they could fend off the Ancient Creatures by the walls of the Morning Town, all players would be able to receive 4 levels reward when the war is finally over. Although the reward might seem to be a little bit less interesting for the players who were still below Level 50, the reward was really appealing for those high-level players! It was an extremely rare occasion where they had a chance of receiving such great rewards!

Ever since players had reached Level 80, they would be required to grind for about 10 days before they could level up again. In such circumstances, 4 levels rewards could aid these players by saving up to 40 days of grindings!

On the contrary, if the players could not fend off the invasion of the Ancient Creatures from breaching the walls and lay siege upon the main lands of their respective Main Regions, players would be receiving a penalty of -1 level for every Main City that falls if more than 3 Main Cities in their Main Region lands were to fall. That being said, players would experience a total of -5 levels, if all of their Main Cities in their Region lands were to fall! If one were to look at the difference between the results of being successful in defending the Main Cities and the results of being a failed attempt to defend the Main Cities, it would be a gap of 9-levels!

Furthermore, not only one or two players would be affected. Every single one of the players in the entire Region would be affected!

9 levels would mean 90 days, a total of 3 months of training and grinding! No Region could afford to suffer such a fate, as they were currently locked in a tight competition in claiming the top position in the Chaos Realm. To fall behind by 3 months, the guild would not be able to grab any resources at that point!

Zhang Yang and Snow Seeker invited Greensleeves Prince, Sword of Light, One Sword Stroke and other guildmasters from Top Tier guilds to join into a temporarily created party. Then, they began to discuss on how to handle the large-scale battle that was to come in 3 days.

Apparently, if they could just defend against the Ancient Creatures within the interior of the Territory by using the walls, houses and other buildings as their 'funnels', then they would be able to minimize the number of casualties while maximizing the benefits that they would earn! Therefore, the guildmasters tried their best to play the 'card of friendship' with Zhang Yang, trying to win his trust over, so that they could gain a good position for their own guilds.

Just like the old saying, everyone for himself, and the devil take the hindmost. Of course, Zhang Yang would look out for his own guild first. Currently, the Lone Desert Smoke already had over 3000 members who had managed to reach Level 100. After positioning them at the best strategic spots, Zhang Yang moved his attention towards his most trusted Allied guild, the Crimson Rage. After arranging the members of Crimson Rage into the best positions left for them, Zhang Yang then moved his attention towards the Sky High, Radiance, Sunset Amber and the rest of the guilds.

The other guildmasters could not make any changes to Zhang Yang's arrangement. After all, the Morning Town belonged to Zhang Yang.

Fortunately for them, the number of players who had entered the Chaos Realm was not really that high yet. Although Morning Town was not a big town, the place could still take in about ten or twenty thousand players. That was almost the amount of all the players in China Region who had reached Level 100.

Of course, that number was merely 10% of the number of players in all of China Region! Most of the players could only head for Ten Barren Seas through the portals and prepare for the assault! However, they would not have any form of tenable defensive positions. They were bound to suffer greatly.

Players with even lower levels could only stay at the Main City as the last defensive line of the city. However, players who were Level 70 or below would only be wasting their time by doing so, as the monsters from the Chaos Realm should all be at least Level 100 or above. The Level 70 players would be restricted by the Level Gap Suppression function of the game and they should not be able to deal much damage to the monsters of Level 100 and above. They should be working hard on gaining additional levels instead.

Even though Lone Desert Smoke, Imperial Sky, Crimson Rage and other top Tier guilds represented the most powerful forces in the entire China Region, but their numbers were far lesser than the total number of players in the entire China Region. Therefore, after they were done discussing, the guildmasters went to the forums as one. They posted with the purpose of gathering as many top Tier players by the portal of Ten Barren Seas, so that they could to act together as one in defending against the army of Ancient Creatures! They attempted to recruit more muscle to stop any monsters from attacking the Main City. Everyone was striving to get the 4 levels reward.

After all, the outcome of this war would affect every single player in an entire Region! Therefore, the post was being jacked up with tens of thousands of comments. The administrators of the official forum were forced to lock down the original post and repost it as a new post.

It wasn't just the China Region. The other 7 main Regions were also gathering their best players at the same moment!

The outcome of this war would become a decisive factor for every single Region!

It all came down to how they would handle the battle against the hordes of Ancient Creatures. It would determine the very standings of the different Regions.

The most unlucky Region was naturally, the Japan-Korean Region. As their Territory Gateway had already been conquered by Zhang Yang, they had no tenable defensive positions, whatsoever! They could only crouch behind at the portal of Ten Barren Seas. It was a ridiculously sad case for them, as they had already lost their 'first line of defense' even before the hordes had arrived!

Every guild had ceased their attempts at clearing the Hardcore Mode of the Dragon Throat Fortress, as they were getting ready to face the hordes in a legendary battle that had yet to happen before in history! Players with [Inheritances] had reserved their {Inheritance Transformations} so that they could transform in 3 days time. Meanwhile, the system had given players 3 days to get ready, ensuring players with [Inheritances] could grab the opportunity to go all out and unleash their full potential.

Since Wei Yan Er, Hundred Shots, Lost Dream, and Galileo had already acquired their very first pieces of their [Inheritance] fragments, the four of them had begun their search for the remaining pieces of their [Inheritance] fragments elsewhere. However, 3 days did not seem to be enough for them to collect all the fragments of their [Inheritances]. They would also have to complete the quests for the [Inheritances] in order to acquire the [Inheritance].

Therefore, the four of them stood no chance at all at showing off their [Inheritances] in three days.

Zhang Yang took his [Cobalt Helmet] and [The Guewitt's Shield] over to the Identifying Shop to be identified. Even though he could equip the helmet, he had not reach the Required Level for the shield just yet. He must first reach Level 110 in order to equip it. However, it would be impossible for him to reach Level 110 in 3 days.

Zhang Yang had another secret weapon. He still had the expedition army of White Jade Empire that currently stood guard at the Winst Castle. So, he decided to move the troops back to Morning Town. After all, that large army belonged to the China Region. So there was no reason for them to look after the Territory Gateway of the Japan-Korea Region for them.

Rockovich was truly cooperative. After Zhang Yang told him everything that was happening, he immediately mobilized his entire army to Morning Town via the Teleportation Circle. Rockovich had also informed Zhang Yang that he had reported the situation back to Queen Serena. Queen Serena might send more troops over to support the defense at Morning Town!

Anything that should be done or could be done had already been done. All they could do now was to wait!

3 days of the in-game time was just 1 day in real life. Although players could feel that the time was ticking by really slowly, in reality, one day could pass in the blink of an eye.

'Server Announcement: The Ancient Creatures have begun their invasion of the world!'

Right after the Server made the announcement, countless monsters emerged from Baroque Island. The hordes of monsters were divided into eight different forces as informed earlier on by the System, as they started to advance towards the eight Territory Gateways.

The Camarro Islands were the Territory Gateway of the North America Region. The players of the North America Region were the first to encounter the assaults of the Ancient Creatures Army. However, it did not take long before the other Regions like Europe Region, South America Region, and Australia Region began to face the terrifyingly massive army of the monsters at their own doorsteps.

When it came to Winst Castle, the monsters went straight through it straight without facing any form of resistance, the other seven Territory Gateways were already engaged in a fierce battle with the Ancient Creatures!

Zhang Yang stood on the castle wall of his own Territory while observing the battle. The Defense of Morning Town had been leveled up to Level 4 at the moment. The Defense and the Magic Defense of both the City Gate and the City Walls were as high as 8,000 points. The HP bar for each of them had reached up to 100,000,000 HP! If the opposition side of the siege did not bring along some catapults in their attempt to bring down the Defense of Morning Town, it would is a total nightmare for them. The opposition side would be wasting all 3 hours just bringing down the City Gate!

However, Zhang Yang's confidence was shaken up a little when he saw the massive horde of Ancient Creatures that covered every inch of the entire land, outside the walls of his territory.

Upon entering the 10-kilometer mark from the Territory walls, these Zergert Beasts started to slow down. They began to enter a disciplined formation while marching towards the Morning Town. Looking at the number of the monsters marching towards them, anyone would feel a chill up their spines.

"What a massive horde we are looking at!" Greensleeves Prince said softly as he gazed

at the far side of the battlefield. His eyes were filled with hope and expectancy instead of fear. After all, this was just a game, not a real scenario. The larger the number of the monsters they face, the more rewarding it would be for them!

Of course, it would also be natural for the battle to be even more difficult!

"We have no room for optimism!" One Sword Stroke was looking worried. The number of the monsters seemed to be a little too much for them to handle. Even if there were over 200,000 NPC army standing by in the Territory waiting to support them in battle, their numbers would still be not enough compared to the massive army of the Ancient Creatures.

"Wu --" the strange sound of a clarion was projected over a brief moment. The monster hordes began to charge in increasing speed. The appearance of these monsters was beginning to become clear to the players.

These creatures were totally different from those giant cockroaches that Zhang Yang saw three days back in the cave. The massive army of monsters before them were beast monsters, they were humanoid in shape, and were about 2 meters tall. In fact, instead of beasts, they looked more like wild dogs that could stand humans! Their mouths dangled open to reveal their rows of sharp teeth that were as long as half a foot! The sides of their mouths drooled. With their two claws in front of their bodies, everyone could see the reflection of the moonlight on their sharp claws. Anyone would feel a chill up their spines upon taking in the sight of those claws.

[Zergert Beast] (Elite, Beast)

Level: 105

HP: 100,000

Defense: 1,100

Melee Attack: 6,884 - 8,864

Note: The lower ranked members of the Zergert Race. Of course, the low ranking would only be by Zergert Race standards alone. Beware of their claws. Those claws can easily slice through and crush rocks!

Although these were all Level 105 elite Tier monsters, their HP bars were not as abundant as they had expected. 100,000 HP was no longer a high amount of HP to most of the players at the current stage of the game. After all, the expedition on the Dragon Throat Fortress had been going on for many days. Many guilds had also managed to clear the first 3 to 4 bosses in the Hardcore Mode. Most of them also possessed at least a Level 100 Violet-Platinum Tier equipment.

But the number of monsters... was a little daunting!

"It seems like we're going to have a hell of a time ahead of us!" everyone whispered to themselves.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Upon entering the 1-kilometer mark from the Territory walls, the Zergert Beasts started to accelerate! It was like countless kangaroos leaping and charging towards the Territory at an incredibly fast speed! Their ability to leap was astounding! They could leap over a hundred meters! The Zergert Beast Army was so densely packed that the entire land was covered in dark shadows! They instantly touched down directly in front of the Territory walls!

The battle has commenced!

Chapter 568: Sword of Purging Devourer, a Shock to the World

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhang Yang operated the Magic Cannon himself. Beams of blinding lights blasted from the cannon barrel and smashed in the midst of the clumped up, massive army of the Ancient Creatures. Every single one of the Zergert Beast that stood in the range of the beam were vaporized! There was nothing left of them!

This Magic Cannon is indeed a powerful weapon for sweeping up a large horde of monsters!

Unfortunately, this Magic Cannon could only fire a maximum of 10 shots in a day. It did not matter if they were in a Territory Conquest or otherwise, the limit of shots would still be 10. Upon leveling up the Territory's Defense to Level 4, Zhang Yang could finally place 4 Magic Cannons on the walls of Morning Town. That being said, they only had a total of 40 shots from the Magic Cannons per day.

Although the number of shots was still far from enough to take care of the Zergert Beast army, Zhang Yang consoled himself by saying that if he were to fire off 40 shots a day, he would definitely die of exhausting! So, by comparing himself to the 4 Magic Cannon, they would perform to their utmost best till the end of their days!

"Let me do it! Let me do it!" Wei Yan Er could not resist the urge of playing with the Magic Cannon anymore. She quickly asked Zhang Yang to hand over the controls to her.

Zhang Yang laughed and said, "What sort of 'cannon' are you playing with?"

Wei Yan Er did not get the hidden meaning that Zhang Yang tried to imply. She had already taken over the Magic Cannon in excitement. She aimed the muzzle of the cannon at the closely packed monsters and let out a series of blasts! In just an instant, countless Zergert Beasts were taken out by the repeated blasts from the Magic Cannon! They were basically reduced to dust by a single blow!

The little brat was truly enjoying the moment. She let off the remaining 35 shots from the Magic Cannons out without any consideration. As she couldn't get enough of the fun yet, the little brat complained, "What a useless bunch of Magic Cannons! They could only fire so few shots?"

Han Ying Xue giggled as she gazed at Zhang Yang. She seemed to be thinking of something else.

After being 'tormented' by blasts of magic beams, about tens of thousands of the Zergert Beast were blasted into pieces! Unfortunately, the number of monsters the little brat took out was merely an insignificant number when compared to the total number of monsters that were about to invade their Territory! Other than that, the monsters that were killed by the Magic Cannon blasts did not drop any loots at all. In other words, although it was really fun to kill the monsters with the super powerful blasts of the Magic Cannon, there was nothing to be gained.

"Kill!"

The monsters had reached the walls of the Territory. These creatures that looked like wild dogs had incredible leaping ability! With just a single leap, they could already cover half the height of the wall! If they could assist each other in jumping into higher heights, then they would have jumped over the walls of the Territory!

However, players were already stationed on the walls. They started to fire away the moment the monsters arrived at the wall. There were Tankers stationed right on the front lines of the wall. Just in case any of the monsters really did jump onto the wall, these Tankers would be able to push the monsters back off the wall with their shields. Other than that, there were also other Melee-type Classes like Thief and Berserker supporting them!

Meanwhile, the Range-type Classes were lining up from the rear as they unleashed their AoE attacks upon the monsters right below the walls. They did not have to worry if their attacks would hit or not because the monsters were so closely packed together! Any AoE attacks that they simply release would hit not only one, but a whole bunch of the monsters!

The battle had temporarily turned into a stalemate. However, these Zergert Beasts were not merely an army or morons who would just attempt making their way through the walls by jumping over them. Many Zergert Beasts had diverted their attention to breaking down the City Walls and the City Gate with their sharp teeth and sharp claws. They were attempting to bite their way through into the Territory Gateway!

Although the Defensive HP and the Magic Defense of a Level 4 Castle Defense were decent, they would not be able to hold long against tens of thousands of crazy 'wild dogs' biting and gnawing at them. The HP bars of the City Gate and the City Walls were reducing so rapidly that it pained Zhang Yang very much!

After all, that gate and walls would require a substantial amount of money to rebuild later! The cost of repairing them would depend on the amount of damage they sustain. The more damage taken, the more money he would have to spend to repair them.

If these walls and the gate were to be completely destroyed, Zhang Yang would need to reconstruct everything from the scratch! Reconstructing and repairing were two very different things. The money involved would be completely different! If repairing a 99% damaged City wall requires 1,000,000 gold coins, reconstructing a new City Wall would require 2,000,000 gold coins!

Furthermore, repairing any Defensive Facilities would be forbidden during a battle. It could only be done after a battle. Even if Zhang Yang was willing to take out a million gold coins at the spot, he would still not be able to repair the damage done to the Defensive Facilities of his Territory. That was just the way the game is designed.

"Sigh! If only that [Forbidden Scroll] had not been used for some meaningless purpose!" Han Ying Xue suddenly brought it up.

Zhang Yang and the others immediately turned their eyes over to Wei Yan Er. They looked at her, until she felt uneasy and a self-conscious. Then, she acted innocently and said, "Why are you guys looking at me like that? It was Sister Sun who used that [Forbidden Scroll: Scourging Doomsday]! Not me!"

"Without your 'encouragement', would that icy queen really do it?" Zhang Yang pointed his finger at her.

"How could you make an accusation based on that kind of assumption?!" Wei Yan Er curled her upper lip in a show of skepticism as she continued to say, "If you are out to condemn someone, do your research first! I'm not talking to you anymore!"

"Guildmaster Zhan Yu! The City Wall is about to collapse!" Snow Seeker came up to Zhang Yang from not far away, with a worried face. No one had ever thought that the monsters would be so numerous! They first thought that they had the advantage over the terrain. They had believed that they could have held the monsters outside of the wall for a longer period of time. But, they were wrong! No one had ever thought that the City Walls would be collapsing so soon!

"That's about right! Be prepared to charge with all your might!" Zhang Yang raised the sword in his hand high up in the sky. The only way of securing the chance of picking up the [Insect Shells] that are dropped from the monsters would be by getting within Melee-range as they die. As no one would know how many players would be attacking the same monster at the same time, that would mean that many players would have the chance to pick up the loot dropped by the same monster that they are attacking. It would definitely become a chaotic scene when it comes down to picking up the loots! Therefore, players who were within the melee-range of the monsters that dropped the loots would stand higher chances of picking them up!

80%, 60%, 30% ...

The remaining HP bar of the City Wall was reducing with every passing second. However, when the remaining HP of the City Wall was reduced down to 10%, a hole opened up in the walls, enough for the monsters to pass right through!

"Kill! Kill them all! Leave none of them alive!" Players had already rushed up to the hole, their weapons drawn. The moment they saw the monsters charging in through the hole, they leaped into battle and gave their all. The clanging sounds of weapons were filling up the quiet streets of the Territory as swords and claws met. Blood started flooding the ground, and miserable screams were heard over and over again. The sound of them murdering each other quaked across the heavens.

Zhang Yang hopped on Thunderhawk and said, "It's time for us to get going too!"

Among Zhang Yang's party of 10, only Sun Xin Yu was absent. Her place had been taken up by Galileo for the moment. The party went off into the skies as they dived towards the horde of monsters on the ground.

Upon receiving the news that the wall had been breached, Rockovich could no longer sit on his *ss. He commanded the 200,000 White Jade Empire troops to join the chaotic battle by the wall. Although most of the soldiers in the army of NPC were just Normal Tier soldiers, they were doing fine as a backup army. They became the perfect human shields for the players. It was much better than having no backup from the NPCs.

Rockovich was truly a Mythical Tier boss. His attacks could already reach up to half the Attacks of Zhang Yang whenever he activates his {God of War Transformation}. Every single hit from Rockovich produced shockwaves that spread across the area. Every single smash with his hammer would cause massive damage to the monsters and sent the monsters flying tens of meters away.

"Let's go! We shall follow our 'boss' and push forward!" Zhang Yang laughed out loud as he patted Thunderhawk and flew close to Rockovich. He picked on the monsters that had already been struck by the Shockwave Effects of the boss and killed them all. Feeding off Rockovish's leftovers with one or two hits was enjoyable.

{Horizontal Sweep} may be classified as an AoE-type attack, but it was limited, in the sense that its attacks would only go through one layer of enemies. Even if a large number of enemies was within its range, its attacks would only strike the ones directly before Zhang Yang, and not go on striking anything else behind them. Be it 10 or 100 monsters within the range, there would hardly be any difference. The attacks would never reach anything beyond the first row. However, {Blast Wave} worked differently. It would strike any and all things within its stipulated range!

With the monsters being very closely packed together at the moment, Zhang Yang struck out with his {Blast Wave} instead of {Horizontal Sweep}. Instantly, a sea of numerical values popped across the heads of the closely packed monsters again and again. The amount of damage dealt on each of the monsters was more than 5,000 damage! Furthermore, the replicated ability of the [Sword of Purging Devourer] was triggered without any care in the world. Instantly, a series of damage befell upon the monsters like a 'domino effect,' as the damage values popped above their heads repeatedly.

Although the basic damage of the {Blast Wave} was merely above 5,000 damage, the Special Effect on the [Sword of Purging Devourer] was still kicking in like a boss! The Special Effect was triggered repeatedly without any pause, until all the monsters within the range of {Blast Wave} was cleared out completely!

All members of his party could clearly see the damage dealt on the monsters every time the Special Effect of the sword triggered. They also could see how all the monsters died with their own eyes. Meanwhile, the other players around could only see the HP bars of the monsters being emptied out the moment Zhang Yang swung his sword. From their perspective, Zhang Yang had taken out all the monsters single-handedly in mere seconds, like they were nothing!

What kind of sorcery was that!

Everyone could not help but look over at Zhang Yang. They were looking at him with admiration and dread!

-- this man was a one-man army. He was killing the monsters at a rate that was even more ferocious than the Boss!

Zhang Yang shrugged. It was only the Special Effect of his [Sword of Purging Devourer]. That Special Effect had once been on a Level 60 Yellow-Gold weapon. It wouldn't do much for the other players even if he shared the attributes for the [Dark Enigmatic Sword] to the public. If a Level 100 player went on to equip a Level 60 Yellow-Gold weapon, the player would be severely underpowered, and there was no chance of the Special Effect showing up in their hands!

When a player is below Level 80, there would be a 2% rate of triggering the sword's Special Effect. However, when the player exceeds Level 80, the rate of triggering the sword's Special Effect would drop to 1%. When the player reaches Level 90, the rate would go as low as 0.5%! The rate would become 0.25% when the player reaches Level 100!

Furthermore, other players would not have an Ancient weapon like the [Sword of Purging Devourer] to 'devour' the Special Effect of other weapons. The sword could even be upgraded further up in Tier as the seals on the sword are unsealed!

Therefore, other players would only be envious of him.

However ... destruction always pursues the great! After today's battle, someone would be complaining to the officials that Zhang Yang was like a Bug in the game, out of spite. If the Special Effect of the [Sword of Purging Devourer] was to be nerfed, then Zhang Yang would suffer a great loss!

"Hahaha! That weapon of noob tank is sure powerful!" Wei Yan Er quickly patted her [Winged Tiger] and flew out to pick up as many [Insect Shells] as she could. Although the elite Tier monsters only dropped Gray-Silver Tier [Insect Shells, they could be exchanged for quite a number of Gray-Silver Tier equipment. They could always sell the equipment for money.

"Such a shame, that the weapon is bound to noob tank. Or else, I would have borrowed it to have fun with the monsters!" Wei Yan Er sighed as she said.

"If I ever lent it to you, it would most probably be like taking advantage of an incident to take Jingzhou, without returning it! I would never get it back, ever!" Zhang Yang blurted out.

"Humph! You better stop discrediting my reputation!" The little brat growled at Zhang Yang. The gang could only chuckle.

Under the violent assaults from Rockovich and Zhang Yang, every single one of the monsters that got through the wall were annihilated. The monsters also dropped numerous loot on the ground, including a countless amount of [Insect Shells]! Everyone enjoyed the substantial amount of experience points as they stared at their rapidly rising experience bars.

Zhang Yang could not help but sigh. As usual, online games were all about having high levels!

This spot had become a holy land for players to level up. Judging by the rate of monsters coming and dying, most of the players would probably level up once after just one day! However, such excitement and joy of leveling up would only be understood by the high-leveled players. Back in his previous life, Zhang Yang was still at Level 20, wandering about, while the top players activated the first Legendary Quest!

Of course, they did not have an insanely powerful player like Zhang Yang back then. Furthermore, Zhang Yang had activated the first Legendary Quest much earlier compared to the timeline of his previous life, because of his 'foresight'. Therefore, the number of players who had reach Level 100 and above were so much lesser than it was in his previous life!

Although that might make defending the Territory much harder, there would be fewer players to divide the experience points equally. Everyone was hooked on the fact that they were earning more experience points than they ever could in such short amount of time. They were all hoping that this battle would last until they were 20 Levels higher than the monsters. By then, any more than 20 levels, it would be pointless, as they would no longer earn any experience points.

"Boss!" Wei Yan Er's sharp eyes and nose detected the presence of a boss from a distance, like a treasure hunter.

Chapter 569: Frenzied Attacks

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It was not just a boss, it was a large group of bosses!

Unless it was a Legendary Quest, it would be very hard to imagine dozens of bosses charging at you in such manner!

There was a total of 13 Zergert Beasts with wings on their backs, hovering in the sky. These Zergert Beasts were a few times larger than the normal sized Zergert Beasts. Their skins were traced with golden, runic lines. Their fangs looked extremely terrifying.

[Zergert Beast King] (Yellow-Gold, Beast)

Level: 108

HP: 3,240,000

Defense: 1,800

Skills:

[Mangle: Mauls the target with their sharp teeth, causing 150% Physical Damage to the target.

[Rushing Pounce: Lunges towards a target from afar and pins the target down to the ground. Stuns the target for 5 seconds. Range: 3 - 20 meters.

"Here comes the Yellow-Gold equipment!" Zhang Yang smiled gently as he hopped on to Thunderhawk and flew towards the bosses.

However, Zhang Yang was not the only one who had such thoughts. Mellow Venom from Crimson Rage, One Sword Stroke from Imperial Sky, Sword of Light from Radiance and other top Tier Tankers of China had flown into the sky to engage the bosses on their [Flying Mounts]. They were merely Yellow-Gold Tier bosses after all. It was a free gift given by the system! Anyone would want to fight for it!

Zhang Yang struck one of the Zergert Beast King with his {Spear of Obliteration} while his Thunderhawk shot a blast of {Thunder Ball} at another Zegert Beast King. Felice, on the other hand, threw her {Fire Missile} straight at the third Zergert Beast King!

The Attack of Zhang Yang, Felice and Thunderhawk altogether were extremely powerful. The three bosses immediately followed Zhang Yang, Felice, and Thunderhawk.

"Guildmaster Zhan Yu, please spare a monster for us!" Mellow Venom had a wide grin on her pretty face. Other than Zhang Yang, everyone was only able to get one boss to follow them. Some even came back with nothing! Although they were envious of Zhang Yang for getting three bosses to follow him, this was Zhang Yang's Territory, literally! Who would dare to defy him?

However, the bad girls from Crimson Rage had been a bad influence on Mellow Venom ever since Zhang Yang last saw her. She was used to be honest and decent, but now she was just as rotten as them! Mellow Venom threw a {Provoke} on one of the bosses as she attempted to snatch that boss from Zhang Yang.

Unexpectedly, the boss actually fell for that woman's {Provoke}! It immediately turned its *ss around and charged towards Mellow Venom!

What the hell! A sexy wink can actually secure the aggro of a Yellow-Gold boss?

Zhang Yang reacted promptly as he countered Mellow Venom's attempt at stealing his boss by throwing his own {Provoke} at it. Immediately, the boss turned back to him!

"Guildmaster Zhan Yu! How can you hog it all!" Mellow Venom bit her sexy lip as she spoke. She sounded a little grumpy. Because the cooldown for {Provoke} was 10 seconds long, she couldn't do anything within that period of time. She could only bring back the boss that she lured earlier on back to the large Crimson Rage unit that awaited her.

Zhang Yang did not bother about the piteous eyes that Mellow Venom threw at him at all. He knew that she was trying to make him feel guilty for trying to snatch the boss back from her. She hoped that if any new bosses appeared again, he would be too embarrassed to snatch the bosses from her again. However, Zhang Yang was a totally different type of man compared Fatty Han and Endless Starlight. He was basically immune to any form of seduction from a woman!

Endless Starlight had also managed to get a boss to follow him back. Along with that boss, Lone Desert Smoke had managed to secure the aggro of 4 bosses in total! It was like smacking the other players from other guilds right in their faces, saying that they were noobs! However, they couldn't say anything about it, because Zhang Yang was the owner of the Territory. Zhang Yang had absolute control over everyone in the Territory. Anyone who gets on Zhang Yang's nerves would risk being listed as a blacklisted person, never to use the Teleportation Circle of Morning Town ever again! That would be extremely troublesome for any player, losing access to the only Teleportation Circle in the Chaos Realm!

Witnessing Zhang Yang and his guild taking on the 4 bosses, other than Crimson Rage trying to steal a boss from Zhang Yang once, no one would dare pluck at the whiskers of a sleeping tiger.

The four Yellow-Gold bosses were considered a bonus for Lone Desert Smoke. With ease, the bosses were brought down, one after another. However, the bosses did not drop any loot, other than a few pieces of golden [Insect Shell]!

"Wu wu wu... why didn't these bosses drop anything valuable for us! These bastards! They're actually stingier than the noob tank!" Wei Yan Er complained grumpily.

Although they took out the bosses with ease, there were still some casualties. After all, the monsters were like a suffocating tidal wave. Fortunately, the dead players could just run all the way back here to resurrect themselves. As long as they did not die more than 10 times, the durability of their equipment should not hit 0 just yet. They should be able to fight the battle that is yet to come.

However, the City Wall of the Territory was soon completely destroyed by the horde of monsters as they began to gush into the interior area of the Territory! There was no way of repairing the destroyed City Wall. So Zhang Yang would have to reconstruct the facility from scratch all over again.

The number of player casualties began to rise tremendously as they were starting to lose their ground. There is an old saying, a large number of ants could kill an elephant! Furthermore, these were not ants! These were a large horde of elite Tier monsters! Their attributes were not far behind the regular players' attributes! Fortunately, the players still had their backs covered by the large army of NPCs, providing them some time to regain their breaths before reengaging into battle. Rockovich was really ferocious and violent. He went all out with his hammer as he continuously smashed it against the ground, creating endless shockwaves across the horde of monsters charging at him. The monsters were pushed back by the shockwaves, unable to even get close to Rockovich!

More and more freeloaders positioned themselves beside him, finishing off the monsters gleefully. It was their chance to earn even more experience points.

Players would need to hunt all over the lands and mountains for the monsters in order to grind their levels. In other words, they would be wasting half of the time just running around, looking for monsters and bosses. However, in this battle, they only had to sit back and wait, while monsters came up to them! Furthermore, the amount of experience points earned from killing an elite Tier monster was so much more than the amount of experience points earned from killing a normal Tier monster. That was why this battle was the best possible moment for the players to grind their levels.

The monsters had the edge in numbers. The players had the luxury of resurrecting themselves an unlimited number of times.

Once every three hours, there would be a new wave of Yellow-Gold bosses spawning among the horde of the monsters. The number of bosses in each spawn differed. The numbers ranged from 10 to 20. Every time they appeared, a contest of snatching the bosses would occur among the players. Whoever who acts fast would have the loot from killing the bosses.

Although Morning Town stood right in the middle of the path which led to the portal of the China Region, there were simply too many monsters to handle. The moment the City Wall collapsed, the monsters gushed in continuously, like huge tidal waves. The defenders were unable to grab hold of each monster's aggro. A number of monsters managed to pass through as if the players never even existed in the first place. The leaks were sporadic and inconsistent. At times, only 3 to 4 monsters got past the defensive line of the players.

After all, the system had programmed the monsters to go through the portal that connects the Chaos Realm and the China Region so that they could conquer the eight Main Cities of the eight main Regions. Therefore, the monsters would go straight through the portal if their aggro is not attracted by any of the players on the battlefield.

Zhang Yang and the others could not possibly stop every single monster from getting past their defense line. It was humanly impossible for them to achieve that.

On the other side of the portal, there was a massive amount of players standing by at the Ten Barren Seas. Although those players were only Level 80 to Level 99, they definitely had the advantage in numbers. Furthermore, the Level Gap Suppression Gap function of the game would not be in effect. In other words, tens of millions of players could actually drown the monsters if each of them spat once on the monster!

One day had passed. Everyone was hungry and tired. They had lost count of the number of monsters that they have slain. However, these so-called Ancient Creatures have been in the dark, sealed up for eons. They have spent the entire time in a massive orgy, reproducing their kind and stacking up their numbers. Although millions of them had already fallen, the waves kept coming relentlessly. It was as if they came from an unlimited supply!

Zhang Yang let the Han Ying Xue and Wei Yan Er take turns in going offline for their break and having some food. No one could predict how long the battle would last. It would definitely affect the performance of the players in battle if one was to starve.

'Server Announcement: The first wave of the Ancient Creatures Invasion is about to come to an end. However, their leaders are greatly displeased. They have decided to send a stronger and vengeful wave of Ancient Creatures in the next wave!'

Upon the announcement, the monsters stopped coming. Half an hour later, only piles of dead monsters were seen all over the Morning Town. The dead bodies were so closely packed that the entire land had turned dark! The Skin Flayers were very happy during the entire time of that moment. As they were too stressful in fighting off the monsters, they could not find any chance of cutting the skins from the dead monsters. So now, they took their sweet time as they harvested their goods from the ancient corpses with their little knives.

"That was just the first wave? Are you kidding me?" Zhang Yang tensed up, his face dead serious. Although players could repeatedly move back to their dead bodies and resurrect themselves as many times as they wanted to, players would only start off with 20% HP and 20% MP. They would be very vulnerable.

That was merely the first wave of the monsters. If they did not have Rockovich as the center pillar of their defensive line which held off most of the monsters, the players would have drowned in the massive wave of monsters!

Meanwhile, the system had stated clearly that the second wave of the monsters would be even more powerful! Inversely, the army of NPCs had sustained great losses, so they wouldn't be able to provide any effective support for the players in the upcoming wave.

It was fortunate enough that Rockovich was still mighty and powerful. Although he had taken up so much damage that he had only 24% HP left when the first wave ended, he was different compared to normal NPCs. The moment he disengaged from battle, his HP began to recover on its own rapidly. In just a minute, Rockovich had recovered back to his full health state.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

Suddenly, everyone could hear the deafening sound of wings, buzzing at a high frequency, coming from the sky. Every single player in Morning Town raised their heads up as they gazed into the distant sky, where the sound was coming from.

What they saw were dark clouds moving towards Morning Town.

About 10 Kilometers away from where the players were standing, there were countless Insect-type monsters buzzing their wings, flying towards Morning Town! These monsters were deep-red in color, with six legs and a pair of wings on their backs. They looked similar to cockroaches, but their heads were many times larger than the heads of a cockroach! Each of them was about 4 to 5 meters long!

As the monsters were about to descend from the sky into Morning Town, the entire sky was blacked out by their shadow. Darkness fell upon the players!

[Zergert Cockroach] (Elite, Beast)

Level: 115

HP: 300,000

Defense: 1,200

Melee Attack: 7,623 - 9,623

Skills:

[Earth Dig: When the Zergert Cockroaches are heavily wounded, they will burrow into the ground and cause their enemies to lose track of them. They can recover their HP during battle.

Note: Zergert Cockroaches are the soldiers of the Zergert Race. They are ferocious and brutal. They love to kill but also know how to protect themselves.

"What the hell! These monsters can fly in the sky, fight on the ground, and they can even go underground and hide! These monsters are more like some sort of flying amphibian that can survive in the sky, on the ground and even underground!" Fatty Han wheezed.

However, other than the aerial army, there was also a massive army of the same Zergert Beasts from wave one on the ground. Their number was so massive that they looked like a land of darkness! In other words, players would be facing the army on the ground like how they did in the first wave of the monsters, along with a sky-full of other enemies!

This was not a one-plus-one situation we are talking about here! For example, during a battle between two players slaughtering each other up, player A could just slaughter up player B when the HP bar of player B is left with 20%. However, if player B suddenly had help from player C, and the two of them are equally strong, then player A would never be able to take out player B, even if player A went all out, trying to take their enemy down together with them!

That is the how the change in quantity affects the quality of the troops!

"Gururu...!" the Ancient Creatures were making some strange sounds. Instantly, the massive aerial army in the sky began to dive towards Morning Town, as they began to launch a uniformed assault towards the players on the ground.

"Kill one, you earn back the cost! Kill two, you earn more!" Fatty Han shouted out like a hoodlum as he drew the string on his bow, aiming at the Zergert Cockroach horde in the sky. He repeatedly released his arrows towards the horde in an attempt to get the aggro of the monsters. The Zergert Cockroaches came at Fatty Han the moment they made contact with his arrows.

Endless Starlight quickly went in between Fatty Han and the horde and kited the monsters that were coming for Fatty Han. Then he said, "Brother fatty, please cut down on the number of monsters you shoot! My tiny little limbs cannot kite too many monsters!"

"Haiyah! Monsters of this standard, little Yang could tank against hundreds of them! How can you be such trash!" Fatty Han waved his hand flippantly.

Not only was Endless Starlight silent upon hearing it, even Zhang Yang frowned hard when he overheard it. He could kite a few dozen elite Tier monsters, but hundreds of elite Tier monsters? Hmm... Zhang Yang might have to activate his {God of War Transformation} in order to do so!

The battle raged on.

Because there were forces coming from the sky, the defense line of the players began to collapse. They were divided into many 'fragments', surrounded by the Zergert Beasts. Furthermore, the cockroaches were also bombarding them from the sky. Several players were sent to the graveyard with each volley.

The massive army of the monsters began to cover both the land and the sky. They were basically unstoppable! No player could hold their ground against the horde any much longer!

"This is outrageous! It's just too difficult!"

Everyone sighed as they could no longer see any hope of winning the battle.

Yes, why would the battle be so difficult? Zhang Yang thought about it. After pondering over it, he finally understood!

When the first Legendary Quest was triggered back in his previous life, it would be 10 more months from now! By then, there would be many more capable players. The players should also have acquired better Tier equipment by then!

Upon activating the Legendary Quest by 10 months earlier, the number of players eligible for entering Chaos Realm was minimal. There were only about 100,000 players from China Region who were capable of entering the Chaos Realm at this point. Furthermore, the equipment levels and Tiers of several players had yet to be updated to the standards of the map. Only a few players had managed to acquire some Violet-Platinum Tier equipment which they had earned by taking down the first five bosses in the Hardcore Mode of the Dragon Throat Fortress.

Under those circumstances, it would be natural for the monsters to triumph over the players. Zhang Yang and all other players had managed to pull through because they had Rockovich and his army of 200,000. Without that additional support, the players might have already been overwhelmed.

"Little Yang, should we be using our {Inheritance Transformations} now?" Fatty Han asked Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang thought about it, then he shook his head, "The duration of our {Inheritance Transformation} Skills is only 2 hours, no more, no less! That wouldn't be enough for us at all! Furthermore, even if we transform, that would only increase our individual power levels. It would still not be enough to take on so many monsters..."

"Then what should we do?"

"There are too few of us! Everyone, fall back to the castle for now! We shall take the terrain and buildings to our advantage to avoid the assaults of the monsters in the sky. We shall focus only on the monsters on the ground. Let's leave the monsters in the sky to the players guarding back at the Ten Barren Seas!" Zhang Yang informed.

Hundred Shots gave a command and all members of Lone Desert Smoke began to move into the buildings all across Morning Town to avoid the cockroaches in the sky, preventing their backs from being scratched by the monsters. The players from other guilds had also realized that and they began to follow suit as well.

The cockroaches in the sky did not dive down to stop the players. Instead, they continued to fly for the portal that led to the Ten Barren Seas. Their numbers were so abundant that they looked like dark clouds blotting out the sun. However, there would be tens of millions of players waiting for their arrival!

As the total number of monsters was still the same as the total number of monsters in the first wave, half of the army was basically flying over the Morning Town, leaving the other half down on the ground. In other words, the number of monsters Zhang Yang and all players had to face was only half of the number of monsters that they had to battle in the first wave of the horde. Therefore, the pressure on Morning Town was reduced tremendously, and the players were able to fend the army off without much trouble!

Chapter 570: All Out Attack

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Some 10 hours later, Sun Xin Yu finally joined in. When she had logged off at the Territorial Hall Teleportation Points. It was the place that Zhang Yang and the guild had been protecting with their lives. So, when she logged into the game, she was not attacked by any monsters. She would have been shredded into pieces if she were to appear on the streets!

'Server Announcement: Edo Castle (Japan-Korea Region) has been overwhelmed by the Ancient Creatures!'

The server announcement popped out, 38 hours into the battle.

The first major city had fallen.

Zhang Yang and his teammates shared a look and smirked.

The main reason why the main city of the Japan-Korea Region had fallen was due to their lack of, or rather the total absence of their primary defense line, Winst Castle. Due to the fact, there were no fortified defenses whatsoever in the Japan-Korea region, the cockroaches were able to waltz into the mainland. The first wave was still bearable, as only foot soldiers marched in the first wave. However, the second waves had those flying cockroaches joining in. Due to the enemy dominating both the sky and the land, the perfectly guarded Ten Barren Sea was breached. The Ancient Creatures were able to directly swarm their City.

"Hehe, Zhang Yang. I think the Japan-Korea players are cursing your name to the high heavens by now," said Lost Dream happily.

"Noob tank. People say, "When all fingers are pointed at you, even if it is for nothing, you are a dead man." I think you should go to the temple and get yourself a lucky charm from the head monk!" said the little girl. Zhang Yang had expected it since the little girl had never been "nice" to him.

"We might need to try harder on our end too. The creatures are too strong," said Zhang Yang as he activated a {Blast Wave} and stunned more than 10 creatures. The sword procced its effect and struck them again.

"Sigh…When will this battle end?!"

"Hey. Think about it this way. The longer we fight, the more experience points we get. We won't have to look for EXP, EXP comes to you!"

"Plus! There's a ton of Gray-Silver Insect Shells!"

The experience points gained from this battle were tremendous. After one whole day and night of fighting, Zhang Yang had gained enough experience points to reach Level 107, while the others had already gain whole new levels. The main reason that Zhang Yang was able to gain such an amount of experience points was due to his sword. The sword's passive effect was so strong that it could clear waves of monsters with a {Horizontal Sweep}!

Zhang Yang sighed heavily. "You know, I have a bad premonition that the Sword of Purging Devourer will be nerfed after this battle!"

"It should have been nerfed much earlier!" the little girl snorted. "All you have to do is to cast {Horizontal Sweep} and you could kill a wave of monsters in a few seconds. I would have taken several minutes to do the same! It's too unfair! Hmph!"

Zhang Yang grinned sheepishly. He realized that his sword had indeed given him a massive advantage compared to anyone else in the game. The Echo effect of the Sword of Purging Devourer would produce a power that rivals that of a nuke when paired with the {Blast Wave} AoE attack.

"Hehe. Might as well use it till I'm satisfied before the system nerfs it."

Hundred Shots and Fatty Han were in charge of kiting the monsters around. Their job was to lure monsters to the entrance of the hall to allow Zhang Yang and Endless Starlight, the two door guardians to block them, while the attackers kill them all with AoE skills. The strategy was by far the best and most effective method to ensure minimal death and a high kill rate.

'Server Announcement: Andong Castle (Japan-Korea Region) has been overwhelmed by the Ancient Creatures!'

…

'Server Announcement: Gelma Castle (India Region) has been overwhelmed by the Ancient Creatures!'

As the battle went on, many other major cities of other region were overwhelmed by the Ancient Creatures. While Japan-Korea region had lost two of their major cities, other regions had only lost, at most, one. On the other hand, Europe, North America, and China had not lost any cities for now.

At China's end, Lone Desert Smoke had stationed many of their own members in the Ten Barren Sea to help Zhang Yang relay news about the situation back there. So far, players had the advantage in numbers. Since they were not being held back by their Levels, the troops were able to defeat them without a hitch. That being said, players dying was a hindrance as well. The graveyard was located rather far away, hence, the time taken to run back to their bodies took a while, allowing the monsters to gain a temporary advantage. If prolonged, or if the number of monsters rose, both the player's side and the monster's side would be evenly matched. The moment the players fail to stem the flow of monsters, they would be overwhelmed.

'Server Announcement: Takeshi Castle (Japan-Korea Region) has been overwhelmed by the Ancient Creatures!'

The little kid Galileo started cracking up, "Japan-Korea have just lost another major city! Right now, they should be struggling to keep the last one up. If they lose another one, all of them will lose a level as well! Imagine the pressure and stress! Even I would pull all my hair off my head!"

Everyone humored him and laughed along.

The main purpose of a Territory or a major city was not to reduce the forces of the Ancient Creature. It was to divide the incoming force into several smaller groups to share the burden and reduce the total attack force. When a force of several 100,000 is divided equally, the resulting smaller groups would be easier to defeat. As they say, United we stand, divided we fall. Divide and Conquer. That's what this battle was all about.

Even though the system had not made it a contest, region players competed against each other in an unspoken manner. The first one to crumble would be the one to face the greatest shame.

The fire of war was lit up, and like wildfire, it continued on raging. After 10 hours, the number of monsters that were invading had started to show signs of letting up. It was the ending of the second wave. However, right then, a loud battle cry was heard coming from the front line. It was the final burst of battle cry, which led to the fall of Rockovich, the great general. Unfortunately, he had fallen to the monsters.

The general had a simple principle. Defending Morning Town was as good as defending White Jade Empire itself. Even with his last breath, the NPC had taken a step back. He had shown the utmost bravery any soldier could ever have. However, despite having 100,000,000 HP, the poor general was unable to face the attack from both the air and the ground.

The brave general's death was not in vain. He had tanked several of the monsters for innumerable players to finish off. Without him, the DPSers would have already been overwhelmed, and their death rate would have been much higher!

"Your death shall be remembered, and your deeds shall be passed on. Rest in peace. General Rockovich, for you, are the bravest general of the White Jade Empire." Fatty Han saluted the man as he gazed into the distance.

Roughly half an hour later, the second wave of monsters was wiped out. Several minutes later, reports came in from Ten Barren Sea stating that all of the monsters had been successfully killed.

And so, the damage suffered by all regions were as such: Japan-Korea Region: 3, India Region: 2, Africa Region: 2, Australia Region: 1, South America Region: 1, North America Region: 0, Europe Region: 0, China Region: 0.

'Server Announcement: The Ancient Creatures will start their final attack!'

After the system notification had ranged for several minutes, the earth rumbled as tiny pebbles on the ground started to dance around. The sound of a stampede could be heard from afar. As the creatures got closer, the earth trembled wildly like an earthquake.

Here it comes…

Players with flying mounts had jumped on their mounts to zoom into the sky. Their jaws dropped at the sight that greeted them.

800 huge elephants, as measuring roughly the size of a mountain were making their way to the fortress. Imagine an entity the size of a mountain, galloping on their megatonne feet towards you. Multiply that by 800. That was the fear the players were experiencing. Several seconds later, all the players, even the ones on the ground could see the incoming giants as clear as day.

A single of them would already be a huge problem to deal with. However, 800 though…

Each of them was at least 1km tall. That sort of size would hardly require any explanation as to how powerful they might be. With 800 of them were stampeding towards you, earthquakes would be the least of your problems.

[Zergert Mammoth] (Violet-Platinum, Beast)

Level: 125

HP: 50,000,000

Defense: 3,300

Melee Attack: 15,246 – 21,236

Skills:

[Earthquake: Shakes the ground and deals 30,000 physical damage to all targets within 40 meters. Causes the targets to fall and unable to engage in any action for 5 seconds.

[Stomp: Tramples a target, deals 150% melee physical attack to the target and all nearby targets.

[Thick Hide: Increases 100% Defense for 30 seconds.

Note: The mammoth is the strongest infantry of the Zergert. Massive power and brute force are enough to trample their enemies.

800 Violet-Platinum boss… The players were either lucky or extremely unlucky…

Without a doubt, even Zhang Yang would be killed, even with the God of War Transformation.

The boss was not alone. Being shadowed by the massive mammoth, there were countless of leaping Zergert Beasts on the ground and swarms of Zergert Cockroach in the sky. If Rockovich was revived back to full health, he wouldn't be able to stand for any longer either…

The earth rumbled as the sky was blown away by the cries of the creatures. The sky was completely separated into two sides; the light of players, and the darkness of the Zergert. No wonder the battle had been classified as a Legendary Quest.

As the mammoths approached, a new boss appeared behind them.

The best way to describe them would be: octopuses. Giant, slimy, octopuses. They were walking on eight-tentacle like legs, each of them measuring close to a few hundred meters in diameter! Their appearances were outstanding enough, but since they had been eclipsed by the giant mammoths, players could only see them once they got much closer to the base. The number of those monsters was much lesser than the mammoths, roughly 80 of them. They were much stronger, however.

[Zergert Cthulhu] (Mythical, Beast)

Note: Cthulhu are the brains of the Zergerts. All of the Zergerts are controlled by the Cthulhu.

…

Oh lord. 800 Violet-Platinum tier bosses and 80 Mythical tier bosses. The stress and pressure was enough to send weaker soldiers frothing in their mouths.

How would they fight?

Zhang Yang almost folded his face into two with a frown. For the lack of a better plan, Zhang Yang had no choice to give up Morning town.

"Everyone! We are retreating! Retreat to Ten Barren Seas! Move! Now!" Zhang Yang cried. He had switched his chat mode to "Shout" mode to relay the message to everyone around him.

"Aye aye."

The little girl had quickly acknowledged the threat and followed Zhang Yang's command.

Every player rode their mounts and flew to the teleportation point. Those without flying mounts had used their scrolls to teleport to White Jade Castle. It would be useless for them to run on their regular mounts. By the time they were only 30% to the teleportation point, the monsters would have caught up to them and turned them into mincemeat.

…

Everyone had evacuated the town and within a few minutes, the stampede arrived. Within seconds, the town was completely flattened to the ground, with no buildings left standing. Luckily, the town was already damaged, to begin with. It matters not if the town was destroyed or not.

The problem now was, how does Zhang Yang plan to fight such a massive force?
