Chapter 401 – Set up a Formation, Kill the Monsters (2/2)
The Elemental Sword Diagram instantly activated and trapped the incoming Prue Beasts. With a point of Fatty’s finger, the Elemental Sword split and flew into five positions in the diagram, and a crimson sword of fire ripped through the air, viciously slashing a Prue Beast.
The vomit-like creature trembled all over. Thick black liquid spurted out from its body and spilled all over the ground as though spewing blood. A 7 to 8-meter-long slash appeared almost across its entire body, with traces of flame burning along the mark.
Fatty was satisfied to see that the slash took nearly one-tenth of the monster’s health. After all, the diagram was a Divine artifact now, he would doubt its authenticity if it couldn’t do this much. Since Fatty was willing to go to length, plus having sufficient energy support, the Elemental Sword Formation attacks began to grow fiercer and all five swords were deployed. To deal with this kind of monster, violence worked best.
Sword lights roared through the air in all directions and assaulted the monsters smartly. After a flame attack, without waiting for the power of the hot flame to disappear, another sword with an extremely cold breath hacked down on the Prue Beasts. The double effect of ice and fire “pleased” the monsters to the extreme, making them shiver all over.
The Prue Beasts only had one means of attack: to use their ugly tentacles to shoot black mucus, which could be considered a long-range attack. However, Fatty's long-range was much farther than them, so the pitiful monsters could only be beaten without being able to retaliate.
Ten minutes later, several Prue Beasts fell amidst miserable screams and dropped some items.
Trying to suppress his nausea from looking at the disgusting corpses, Fatty picked up the drops. They were all equipment with ice properties. Fatty couldn't use them, but there were people they’d be suitable for so he swept them all into his inventory.
After collecting the equipment, Fatty threw Harvest and a fist-sized white stone appeared in his hand with a ding. The white stone revealed its true face after several Appraisals.
Ice Soul Stone
Special material
Contains ice power and can be used to forge equipment or placed in magic formations to provide ice energy.
A stone that provided ice energy was, in essence, the same as a magic stone, but magic stones provided pure magic that could be used in formations of any attribute, while Ice Soul Stones could only be used in ice-attribute ones.
Using this kind of stone to forge or inlay into weapons and armor was a good choice. In general, ice and thunder were the players' favorite attributes since they could temporarily freeze or paralyze the enemy correspondingly.
Pocketing the Ice Soul Stone, Fatty tossed Harvest at every Prue Beast’s corpse, and sure enough, every one of them gave an Ice Soul Stone.
“This isn’t too shabby, huh?” Fatty was very satisfied, at least this yielded a decent harvest.
Fatty folded the Elemental Sword Diagram, letting the corpses inside fall on the ground. At this time, some Prue Beasts were already back from their hunt. Spotting their kin’s corpses, they shrieked and pounced on Fatty.
Fatty found it not very cost-effective to handle only a few Prue Beasts in one use of the diagram, so he simply packed up and brought these Prue Beast on a stroll around the ice floe.
This ice floe was super large with many Prue Beasts living on it, not to mention that there were Prue Beasts returning every moment. After wandering for less than 30 minutes, Fatty gathered a dense group of at least a hundred Prue Beasts behind him.
“If so, this mission is quite easy.” Fatty stopped, turned around, and sent out the Elemental Sword Diagram. The formation took in the whole group of Prue Beasts and the elemental swords started chopping like crazy.
Just as Fatty was having a great time slaying Prue Beasts, on the other side of the ocean, some players were gathering in a splendid hall in an argument.
“We must take revenge!” A player with a full face of messy beard smacked the table, his face flushed as if he had been greatly wronged.
“Of course this revenge must be taken, but we should see if it’s possible first. If we die due to not being strong enough, what’s the point? He can kill a Divine expert, force the Fire Phoenix to hand over the Fire Mystery Codex and even follow him. We can’t afford to provoke such a person,” said a relatively staid player who sat with a cup of coffee in one hand.
“He is doing a mission at the Sea of Ice. Once he completes it, he will become the first Saint in the entire server. We cannot sit still and watch him succeed.” A curvy female player wearing exposing clothes frowned.
“Now is our best chance. He’s away on a mission, and there aren’t many players in Sky City, only a few NPCs. If we take this opportunity to attack, not only can we kill him back to level zero, but also claim Sky City. You must have seen the power of that fortress. If there were no Sky City, how could he, a guildless player, dare to extort us?” a player wearing holy armor and glowing with a white holy light proposed.
