Chapter 422 – Demon Experts (1/2)
Sun God Emperor Fahklud smiled at the peak of his rage. “Good, very good. They all say the young generation will surpass the old. Today, I shall see if your strength is as tough as your mouth.”
Except for experts from his own generation, a veteran Divine expert who had coalesced his divinity and nation like Fahklud took no one seriously, let alone Fatty, a rogue who had just reached the Celestial rank.
With a wave of Fahklud’s hand, a sun slowly rose, emitting golden rays that blinded everyone present. Whether one was a mage or not, an existence like the Sun God Emperor who had reached the God realm would be basically well-versed in both martial and magic skills. This move of Fahklud caused an abrupt change as the magic elements in the vicinity agglomerated with strong and fast momentum, fully demonstrating the power of a Divine expert.
Fatty laughed. Facing a sky full of golden rays, he made no effort to defend and only stretched out his arms, like a hug, and charged at Fahklud.
A five-color screen appeared around Fatty. Looking closely, one would see four clear colors on this screen, along with a very faint golden light that didn’t look as pure nor as bright as the other four.
Upon contact, these thousands of rays that easily pierced through the hall were unable to damage the thin screen in any way but seemed to add energy to it instead. The screen shook slightly before suddenly becoming very bright.
“Legend has it that the five elements of the East reinforce and neutralize each other, and can turn almost any attack into nothingness. I shall verify this for myself today.”
Fahklud strode forth like a tiger. Behind him, golden rays bloomed into swords, spears, shields and various weapons, blotting out space as they shot towards Fatty.
Exhaling a long breath, Fatty looked serious as he sent out the Elemental Skill Book to hover in front. As early as when I had first seen Fahklud, Fatty had already used Underworld Eye on him to see a dazzling codex floating in his body.
This codex was sharp and incisive, unendingly giving out countless light beams. These lights were so intimidating it was as if they would tear people apart upon just one look.
This was the last of the five mystery codices that Fatty needed, also the one which Sun God Emperor Fahklud had used to become a god – the Metal Mystery Codex.
Nine magic attributes, five-element magic. While their names were different, they were basically still of the same origin. Under the system of nine magic attributes, the Metal Mystery Codex was also known as the Divine Codex of Light, which represented pure power.
And the place where the Metal Mystery Codex was most likely stored should be in Fahklud’s nation.
Fatty softly flicked his fingers as if plucking zither strings. With each flick, the Elemental Skill Book shone a little and a spell would fly out to block Fahklud's attack. Although Fahklud's power was far higher than that of Fatty, it wasn’t so easy to beat the latter, who was supported by the Elemental Skill Book.
Upon the sight of the Elemental Skill Book, the eyes of everyone in the hall glowed with greed. A single mystery codex was only equivalent to a Divine artifact, not that valuable to the likes of them, but the Elemental Skill Book who had refined all in one wasn’t so simple as ‘one plus one equals two,’ otherwise, it wouldn’t be called a Legendary artifact.
Feeling of the greedy eyes around, Fahklud laughed loudly. His body flashed and a golden light appeared from thin air and circled the hall. Then, both he and Fatty disappeared together.
“Sly fox.”
“Bastard, he wants the whole cake to himself.”
The rest were slightly disappointed, but no one dared to chase all the way into Fahklud’s nation where their strength would be suppressed by 30%, which was as good as a calamity. However, they still hoped that the heir of the Elementalist would not be killed so easily, best if he would escape with serious injuries and fall into their own hands so that even Fahklud couldn’t reason against it despite being the landlord here.
Seeing their reaction, SaintPetertheGreat inwardly sneered. This was the so-called ‘the man might be innocent, but the fact that he carries a treasure makes him guilty.’ Countless people coveted Fatty's two Divine artifacts, only that the average person didn’t have the ability to take it, not to mention that these two pieces of equipment were exclusive and undroppable without unusual methods, so not many players ever thought of robbing them.
In a stretch of desert, Fatty stood lazily. Above his head hung a wheel-sized golden sun, inside which a palm-sized book was slowly turning pages.
Fahklud appeared not far in front with a smug expression on his face.
“If you had been determined to go, I would have had no reason to keep you, but it’s you who sought death and initiated this. Quickly hand over the Elemental Sword Diagram and Skill Book, and I will spare you from death, or else, humph!”
Fatty was indifferent, He looked up at the sun in the sky, the Elemental Skill Book before him slightly shook, seeming to have sensed the existence of the Metal Mystery Codex.
Fatty’s indifference irritated Fahklud. He snorted. “Foolish human. I'll kill you first and then take your belongings.”
Although the Elemental Skill Book and Sword Diagram were the undroppable exclusive equipment of the Elementalist, Fahklud was an old Divine expert and might just have the means to force them to drop. Fatty was also extremely cautious in his heart. Taking a deep breath, he swung his arms, and the Elemental Sword Diagram suddenly appeared and enveloped Fahklud.
“Elemental Sword Diagram, huh? I might have cared if it was in Wu Junxiao’s hands, but you? Humph! Out of the way!”
Fahklud shouted. The golden sun hanging in the sky suddenly burst with thousands of beams and broke into the Elemental Sword Formation, shattering the river of spinning light swords inside to pieces.
“See that? While you have two Divine artifacts, I can defeat you with only a Metal Mystery Codex. I will give you one last chance, hand over the artifacts.”
