hapter 140 – Spatial Spoon (1/2)
How strong was a celestial boss? No one knew. However, when the players witnessed Brave Rider Drucker – a knight of the seventh class enhancement, and Grand Magus Jijilu – a mage of the eighth class enhancement getting beaten by Lei Ting with little to no chance of fighting back; they immediately understood the strength of a celestial boss.
Lei Ting held the reigns of the Hellfire Stallion. Grasping the Demon Slayer Sword and cloaked in drifting black-and-gold mist, he dominated the entire stage. Several bosses followed closely behind as they advanced firmly.
“The former Captain truly lives up to his reputation,” urging his horse back a few steps, Drucker wiped off the trail of blood on the corner of his lips and voiced his praise.
“Throughout the entire history of Black Tortoise City, aside from the former City Lord, Lin De, Lei Ting was the one given the highest hopes of transcending mortal boundaries and attaining a new realm of power. When the Phantasm Ghost King arrived with his forces, Lord Lin De had to stay behind to watch over Black Tortoise City. Only Lei Ting could be deployed with the army. Relying solely on his power, he stopped the Phantasm Ghost King for one day and one night as well as injured him, gaining time for War God Lin Yu and Saint Magus Aura to seal the Ghost King,” Jijilu stated expressionlessly. “Even if Captain Lei Ting has been dead for many years, even if he was tempted to depravity by the Phantasm Ghost King, and lured out by the City Lord with only one-tenth the strength of his peak state, he’s still not someone we can stop.”
“Then what should we do now?” Drucker gazed at Lei Ting, his eyes brimming with unconcealable veneration.
“We wait for the City Lord’s plans to come to fruition,” Jijilu replied weakly.
“He was once the Marshal, after all,” Fatty nodded slightly after he heard about Lei Ting’s past. Although he’s corrupted, his power is still there, and it isn’t something Drucker’s party can easily handle. But this has nothing to do with me anyway. I only need to stand aside and watch the show.
“Come, Bell, look what the Phantom Messenger dropped.”
Fatty and Purple Bell went to hide in a corner. Once there, Fatty displayed the Phantom Messenger’s drops. Putting aside the useless items that he didn’t bother to take out, there were only two useful pieces of equipment.
One of them was a golden-trimmed black cloak that seemed to reveal traces of deep red from within its blackness.
Cloak of Umbra
Violet Equipment
Level Requirement: 35
Defense: 28
DEX +15
Active Skill – Shadow: Transform into an umbra and hide within another person’s shadow without being detected. While transformed, the user can only move alongside the shadow and cannot attack. The user is revealed when attacked. Duration Limit: None. Cooldown: 600 seconds.
No wonder the six major guilds couldn’t trace the Phantom Messenger with so many members. That brat was actually hiding in their shadows. This Violet Equipment is equipable at level 35, so it is much more precious than the one that requires the user to be at least level 50. The level requirement also shows that the Phantom Messenger’s level wasn’t very high, that’s why Lord Fatty could easily kill it with my sudden attack.
The other item was a key-shaped object. Fatty cast Appraisal, but it only displayed the name “Spatial Spoon” and nothing else.
“Two great equipment. Which one do you want?” Fatty held one in each hand and let Purple Bell choose.
“Whichever one is fine,” Purple Bell smiled sweetly.
“This Cloak of Umbra can hide your trace, and it’s a good item for PK. Moreover, it’s usable at level 35, so the practical worth is very high. On the other hand, this Spatial Spoon can’t be appraised even with my Appraisal, so it’s definitely a piece of superior equipment. Its value shouldn’t be lower than this cloak.”
Fatty was a bit conflicted. While it was okay just randomly to give Purple Bell one of the drops, he didn’t want her to lose out. Therefore, Fatty kept hesitating and couldn’t make a choice.
“I’ll take the cloak,” Purple Bell received the cloak. “Big Brother Fatty has Stealth, so this cloak isn’t much use to you, but it’s just right for me. If that Spatial Spoon is better than this cloak, then congratulations. If it isn’t though, then don’t come crying later. Alright, Big Brother Fatty?”
Purple Bell acted easy-going about the entire situation. Fatty understood that Purple Bell was thinking for him as well, so he nodded, “I’ll have it appraised once I return to the city. If it’s suitable for you, then you can use it. If not, I’ll keep it.”
Boom! While they were splitting the drops in the corner, a battle once again broke out. Drucker and Jijilu were forced to constantly retreat from Lei Ting’s attack. The situation was looking dire.
“Too formidable!”
The players who wanted to approach halted their steps and gasped in shock. Initially, they planned to find a chance to kill Lei Ting for the Guild Establishment Token. Yet, when they saw how casual Lei Ting acted as he beat two powerful NPCs into a sorry state, all of the players present gave up on that idea.
“How come the City Lord hasn’t sent backup?” Drucker grew anxious. The two of them might be forced to throw their lives away right here if help didn’t come.
“Die.” Lei Ting curtly spat out a word as his sword went for Drucker’s neck. Just when Drucker was about to face being beheaded…
Hooooo!
A windstorm raged as a massive figure struck down from the sky and onto Lei Ting.
Puff!
Lei Ting directly thrust out his sword. The figure immediately let out a shocking scream and sprung back into the sky, spurting out a stream of blood.
“Pterosaur.”
The identity of this gigantic monster was clear to Fatty. It was indeed the pterosaur who tried to fight for the Dragon Revolution Herb but was then tamed by Lin Xi in the end.
A knight was sitting on the pterosaur’s back. This knight was dressed in dark-colored metal armor, his hand holding an over two-meter long dragon spear. He was currently trying to control the pterosaur.
“It’s Master Libya. He’s finally ranked up to Dragon Rider,” Drucker went wild with joy.
After the pterosaur made its entrance, the earth rumbled, and in the direction of Black Tortoise City, three massive Yao beasts were approaching side by side.
The three Yaos included a hundred-meter long deepwater crocodile, a green boa as huge as a dinosaur, and a turtle the size of a small mountain. These three, with the addition of the flying pterosaur, were the four Yaos that Lin Xi had collected.
