Chapter 1090: A Very Rewarding Failure (1/2)

Previously, as Garland had rushed over quickly in order to kill Jiang Fei, he was struck by lightning not that far away from him. After Jiang Fei took a big step forward, Garland was already within the Dragon Bane’s range!

“Go to hell!” Jiang Fei pulled the Dragon Bane’s trigger. The Dragon’s Bane’s attacks were all sure-hit. So, without Jiang Fei having to aim properly, the attack had automatically flown toward Garland!

-369,184,000!

As the effect of Jiang Fei’s Ruthless Barrage had disappeared a long time ago, he only had more than three million basic Attack Power. So, even with the Dragon’s Bane that increased his Attack Power by a hundred times, he only dealt more than three-hundred million damage.

Even so, this amount of damage was enough to kill Garland who was already extremely low on Health Points!

Jiang Fei knew that Garland’s Health bar was basically empty. He was only living on a tiny amount of Health Points. He was still alive not because the thunder was not strong enough, but because his Primordial Gear forcibly disallowed his Health Points to fall to zero!

However, this tiny bit of Health Points maintained by the Primordial Gear did not save Garland’s life. Instead, it fulfilled Jiang Fei’s wish!

“Ding! You have eliminated the Son of the Earth, Garland. Obtained 10,800,000,000 Experience Points! Obtained 10,000 gold coins!

“Ding! You have eliminated a High Celestial Ancient God. God Eater Signet +3!”

“Ding! You have eliminated the Son of the Earth. Your reputation with Therazane the Stonemother has reached the Level of Eternal Hatred!”

Several system prompts appeared. However, before Jiang Fei could read them, he was struck to the ground by lightning!

“Ding!”

Jiang Fei’s Undying Aegis had been triggered. His Celestial’s Kapla was already at the strongest Level. Since ancient times, the rule has been that it would only keep increasing in Level and would never decrease. So, even though Garland was dead, this thunder would not return to its previous Level of strength when it was testing Jiang Fei.

“F*ck!” Jiang Fei cursed and immediately activated his Shadow Barrier.

Invincibility skills such as Divine Shield were ineffective against the lightning strikes. Only the Holy Grade Shadow Armor could provide Jiang Fei with three chances to block the attacks.

“I gotta hurry up and clean the battlefield!” Jiang Fei clearly knew what he was supposed to do. Before he even climbed the Altar, he knew that there was no hope of a successful ascension. His ascension to an Intermediate Celestial was bound to fail. The only difference was how profitable this failure could be!

Originally, Jiang Fei thought this failure would only allow him to complete his Quest, at best. However, Jiang Fei never imagined that the Son of the Earth would actually rush forward and get himself killed!

Seeing that the thunderclouds in the sky had begun to prepare for its next attack again, Jiang Fei did not dare to waste any time. He immediately ran to Garland’s body and opened it.

Swoosh!

A golden dragon ascended into the sky. This was a special effect that accompanied only Celestial Equipments.

“As expected. Awesome!” Jiang Fei was ecstatic. As Holy Grade items would surely drop upon death, Jiang Fei guessed that the Primordial Gear in Garland’s hands would also drop upon his death. Even though he expected it, he was still surprised when he saw the Primordial Gear for real!
