Chapter 464: Burning Blade Slash (1/2)
Slightly surprised, I opened my bag in a hurry and found a simple skill book surrounded by red flames lying in a corner. When I brought it out and checked its description, I was stunned by what I saw—
Burning Blade Slash: Gather your qi and launch an AoE attack at the enemy in front 3 times in quick succession. The first strike deals 100% of the user’s basic attack, with each consecutive hit gaining 35% additional attack power. Level Requirement 115. Class Requirement: Warrior
……
Holy shit! It’s a triple-hit skill!
The first strike dealt 100% damage, and each consecutive strike gained an additional 35% attack power. This meant that the final strike would deal a whopping 170% damage! How powerful was that?
Moreover, it was clearly stated in the description that the skill was an AoE attack. It was out of this world!
Swhoosh!
The skill book vanished from my palm and transformed into the image of a red blade inside my skill window.
I grinned. Let’s test out your power, shall we?
I put strength into my arms and activated Burning Blade Slash. An intimidating and fiery red energy immediately shrouded the blade of the Heaven-stealing Sword. When I swung my sword, it left three burning scars in front of me and swept the area in front of me, distorting the air. Hmm, the area of effect was basically a wide curve, and it could hit six or seven enemies at most. That being said, it was still incredibly good in PvE and even more so in PvP. I doubted that there were many people who could withstand this skill with Martial God active.
I was happy that I had finally gotten a multi-hit skill. Candlelight Shadow’s Blazing Purgatory Slash had played a huge factor in his tournament victories, and Li Chengfeng’s Dragonbone Flurry, Purple Marquis’s Chaos Universe, Gui Guzi’s Death Combo, Farewell Song’s Blade Vortex and Little Piglet’s Ice Ray Flurry were all multi-hit skills as well. It was what made them exceptionally great duelists compared to other players. Now that I had Burning Blade Slash, I was like a tiger with a pair of wings attached to it!
……
I happily pocketed the reward while checking my experience bar. As expected of an SS Rank quest, after killing the Earth Lizard Dragon and obtaining the experience reward from the quest, my experience had jumped to Level 119, 67%. A bit more and I would officially enter Level 120. Ah, if only I could have the luck to collect a main quest every day!
Of course, I would be lucky to find an S Rank quest every day, let alone a main quest. I could literally count the number of times I received a main quest on one hand...
Chiang!
Tia stabbed her dragon spear against a rock and rose to her feet shakily. Clinging onto the green dragon’s neck for support, she smiled at me and said, ”I will be returning to Floating Ice City to debrief Princess Karinshan, so this is goodbye, dearest warrior. I pray that we will meet again some time.”
I answered, ”We will.”
Tia nodded and smiled meaningfully. ”Indeed, we will. You are an adventurer of Sky City after all. I look forward to the day we meet again, warrior! Farewell!”
The green dragon roared and flapped its wounded wings. After Tia leaped onto its back, it abruptly pushed off the ground and flew into the sky. It only took the blink of an eye for it to vanish completely from my sight.
I looked in the direction they disappeared to with envy. Dragon Knights are so cool, dammit. I wonder when I could ride a giant dragon of my own? However, most giant dragons are of the holy alignment. Would they really submit to an undead like me?
Actually, that was a stupid question. If they refused to submit to me, I would beat them up until they did!
……
I crushed a return scroll and returned to Sky City. It was already too late to turn in the quest for the bounty reward or reorganize because Beiming Xue had come online just to urge me. ”Big bro, what are you doing? You’re 10 minutes late already…”
”Beiming, come to the eastern square now!”
”Oh?”
A few seconds later, after Beiming Xue appeared at the eastern square as promised, I passed her the Cold Silver Wristguards and smiled. ”Here. It took a bit of time, but the rewards are well worth it!”
”Wow!” Beiming Xue’s eyes were covered in stars in an instant. ”Did you really manage to kill that dragon, big bro?”
”Yep! It’s just a bigger wall lizard! Easy peasy!”
”But you looked like you were going to die when you fought it earlier…”
”It’s not good to scrutinize the past, Beiming…”
The girl stifled a giggle before clinging to my arm. ”Now come on, we really need to log off and head out. It’s already 9 pm, and you’re not planning to stay out tonight, do you?”
”Absolutely not. Come on!”
”Mn.”
……
I hastily logged out of the game and took off the gaming helmet. Then, I put on a slightly better shirt than normal; a Jack&Jones brand shirt. I am a millionaire, so I shouldn’t look too much like a beggar before Beiming Xue’s student friends. For now, my Balenos and Semirs must stay in the closet...
When I walked out of the door, I was surprised to find He Yi and Murong Mingyue drinking tea and chatting in the living room.
