s.h.i.+ro: 21 tomorrow/sat, sry&h.e.l.lip; this chapter took me the whole day (with various distractions)
To the Undead Race, the graveyard’s Corpse Pond was a sumptuous feast equivalent to a high cla.s.s entertainment.
I stood at the corner of the Corpse Pond, reaching out my hand. With a glow, I activated my [Summon Undead] ability. In an instant, a small, shrivelled skeleton crawled out of the Corpse Pond. It stopped at my side, trembling with fear, looking ready to submit to my orders and be a perfect subordinate.
[Monster Slave] (Beginner)
Level: 5
Attack: 15-50
Defense: 20
Health: 150
Special Characteristics: Will disappear if its master logged off.
&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;
Little skeleton bowed respectfully to me, but I, unfortunately, could only see the see the word “Trash” on its forehead. With a defense of 20, attack of 50 and health of 150, could it even survive a punch?
I shook my head helplessly. At this moment, suddenly, the Undead Knight Cyan Rain discovered us, his enemies. Raising his sword, he charged forward, roaring loudly, “Lowly undead, go back to h.e.l.l!”
Su Lun also shouted loudly as he charged forward with his sword!
“Clang!”
Through the sounds of metal clanging with each other, the two powerful BOSS and NPC met in the middle. It looked like Su Lun, the great swordmaster, had the upperhand. He pushed Cyan Rain far back with just an attack from his sword!
Cyan Rain roared angrily as he slided around ten metres back. Just as he was preparing to charge forward once again, a flash of bronze light appeared from his back!
“Pu!”
“217！”
I unleashed a [Death Blade] heavily down on him. Cyan Rain froze for a second, as his health decreased by a significant amount. This was a boss monster, I wouldn’t want to miss out an opportunity to get valuable experience and drops!
“Are you seeking death?!”
Cyan Rain turned his sword around, sharp and fast like the wind!
“Cha!”
His sword broke my defense. Blood spurting out, a high damage number appeared on top of my head – 321!
What a b.a.s.t.a.r.d! He almost killed me with one attack!
At this moment, my monster slave, the little skeleton, charged forward. It increased its worth in my eyes as it defended me against the BOSS’s next attack. In just a moment, it was chopped to eight pieces of bones.
I hurriedly drank a health potion, while Su Lun charged forward once again, engaging Cyan Rain in a death match. The two bosses fought against each other. In the end, Su Lun gained the advantage, depleting Cyan Rain’s health to a critical point. And at this moment, my health had went back full. I charged forward once again!
A thread of blood glowed upon my blade, as my [Undead Strength] concentrated on it. Unfortunately [Undead Strength] could only work with living organisms. It did not have any effect on a monster of the Undead Race like Cyan Rain.
Cha!”
Another sword slashed, shaving off 200 points from the BOSS’s health. This time I had learnt my lesson. I immediately retreated and let Master Su Lun blocked his attack. When the BOSS missed, I attacked him once again. Raising my sword, [Death Blade] once again penetrated Cyan Rain’ face.
“Ao&h.e.l.lip;”
Wailing a miserable cry, Cyan Rain collapsed to the ground and died!
I quickly charged forward with a speed much faster than Su Lun. Sweeping my gaze across, I immediately shoved all of the spoils of war into my inventory.
There were three Large Magic Stone of quality 97, 98, 94 respectively. They were of high quality, so they must be able to fetch a high price.
Furthermore, this Undead Leader had also dropped two piece of equipment. One was a sword that glowed a blood-red colour, and the other was a cyan coloured cloak. The latter made me extremely happy, because a cloak provided an option for the wearer to cover his or her face. As long as I wanted it, I could cover my face from others, preventing them from finding out that I was a skeleton.
Both of my hands were trembling, excited beyond words as I opened my equipment inventory. i checked out the blood-red coloured sword first. When the sword’s item window appeared in front of me, I was so happy that I thought I was going insane!
[Weeping Fireblade] (Bronze-tier equipment)
Attack:25-40
Strength: +8
Required Level: 25
&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;
Bronze-tiered equipment, it was actually a bronze-tiered equipment! Hahaha, I am going to be big!
What a powerful weapon, it had 40 attack damage! It also added 8 points to strength. This must be one of the most deadly weapons in the current stage of the game. My current Green Forest Blade only had an attack point of 18, it was equivalent to a vegetable knife when compared to the Weeping Fireblade. However, even Green Forest Blade had caused people’s jealousy, if others knew that I had this Weeping Fireblade in my hands, wouldn’t there be chaos?
Feeling excited, I put back the Weeping Fireblade into my inventory. Its required level was 25, but I was only level 22 after killing the BOSS. I still need three more levels. I will work hard to gain three levels in two days to equip the Weeping Fireblade and increase my power by multiple folds!
Still feeling ecstatic, I checked out the item properties of the cloak. In the next moment, I did a somersault once again-
[Cyan Fire Cloak] (Bronze-tier equipment)
Defense: 22
Stamina: +7
Additional Attribute: Increases the wearer’s evasion by 0.5%.
Required level: 25
&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;
d.a.m.n! It was another bronze-tiered equipment. This time, I really did strike it rich! Its defense reached a frightening 22 points; furthermore, it adds 7 points to stamina, and also had a special additional attribute, increasing 0.5% evasion rate! Although it wasn’t that high, it was still an additional attribute. These two equipments would really make anyone dance with joy!
Constraining my excitement with all my might, I kept the two equipments back into my inventory. Then I spoke to Su Lun to complete the quest!
“Ding~!”
System Announcement: Congratulations, you have finished the quest [Undead Knight – Cyan Rain]. You have received 4000 experience points and 100 fame!
&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;
“Shua!”
A golden light glowed again as I rose another level. I had reached level 23, only two levels left before I could equip the bronze-tiered equipments. Next, I opened the Floating Ice City Player Ranking Board once again-
