Chapter 85: One Against Many (1/2)
Swhoosh!
The return scroll’s magic power flew me back to the city.
Tons of players that had already gotten up early in the morning were pouring into the city. Once they bought enough pots and consumables, they stood in the city plaza, yelling for party to level up or farm equipment.
I went straight to the warehouse manager and withdrew the Ghost Ice Soul.
An intimidating chill immediately entered my palm the moment I held it in my hand. I felt refreshed, it really was a divine weapon!
Ghost Ice Soul (Gold-grade)
Attack: 115~150
Strength: +25
Stamina: +20
Passive: Increases user’s ice attacks by 7%
Level Requirement: 50
……
I swapped the Weeping Fire Blade with the Ghost Ice Soul and my stats instantly shot up!
ID: Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand
Class: Undead Swordsman (Bronze Swordsman)
Level: 50
HP: 1280
Attack: 311~505
Defense: 238
Magic Resist: 120
Reputation: 2840
Luck: 0
……
My attack soared and broke through the 500 mark in one go. This Attack was enough to exterminate any metal armor player in one strike! My HP had also risen to 1280 and was not much lower than full HP build magic knights’!
Energy Amplification’s results were now visible. My original 0 Magic Resist soared to 120 now. Faced with magic attacks, I could mitigate their damage by quite a bit!
I swung my Ghost Ice Soul and saw a layer of dense icy air around the edges of the sword that gave it a terrifying sheen. This really was a rarely seen good weapon!
I was happy. With the Ghost Ice Soul, I should be unrivaled in Floating Ice City, right? Even if my opponent was the Level 53 Lin Yixin, she might not necessarily be my match.
I looked into my inventory, two Iron-grade items that had dropped from Violet Undead Knights inside. I should quickly sell them and head to sleep!
When I arrived at the auction house, the Level 40 magic knight next to me was currently checking out shields to buy. He muttered, “Fuck, a big place like Floating Ice City doesn’t even have a slightly better shield? Do they have no shame putting up a Level 17 Steel-grade shield for sale? This Floating Ice City barely has anything good!”
I swept my gaze over. It was a middle-aged player that seemed to have come from another tier 2 city, evident from his disdain for Floating Ice City.
At this time, a warrior named Dominating Martial King chuckled, approached the man and said, “Who said that Floating Ice City doesn’t have good shields? Brother, what do you think about this shield?”
“How is it?” the magic knight said with interest.
Dominating Martial King opened his palm and the image of a very familiar shield floated up—
Elemental Barrier (Dark Steel–grade)
Defense: 72
Stamina: +9
Passive: Increases user’s Defense by 1%
Level Requirement: 35
……
I was shocked and a sudden thought came to mind. Wasn’t this the Elemental Barrier I sold to He Yi? How… how could there be another shield that looked the same? Could… could there be two exact same shields?
I hid my ID and walked up. “Bro, is this shield strong?”
“Yeah. What, even a warrior like you wants it?” Dominating Martial King said with a laugh.
“No, I’m just curious. A strong shield like this should’ve at least dropped from a Level 50 boss, right? Do you have the shield on you?”
Dominating Martial King laughed. “What Level 50 boss? This dropped from a little leveling party. Heard it was a pretty magic knight who dropped it. I don’t have it on me. If you guys want it, I can call my brother to bring it over right now!”
“Oh?” I suppressed my anger and asked with a smile, “This shield isn’t in Floating Ice City? Where’d it drop? I also want one, haha!”
Dominating Martial King laughter became even more brilliant. “Forget it, you’ll die if you go there alone. I heard that party had a really strong warrior and a priest. They’re being camped right now, think it dropped during some PvP in Silver Moon Valley. It’s hilarious though. A small party of three actually dared to challenge our Domination Clan. Aren’t they just tired of living?”
“Silver Moon Valley?” I asked.
“Yes.”
I nodded, then turned around with my sword and began to leave. Dominating Martial King hurriedly shouted, “Hey, bro, you don’t want the shield anymore?”
“Nah, I’ll farm one myself!”
“Hahaha, you idiot. Where the hell could you farm a Dark Steel–grade shield like this alone?”
