Chapter 638: Purgatory Thunder Beas (1/2)
I hurriedly said, ”Thunder single-handedly brought about the destruction of the Roland Empire! Do you not even bear a shred of resentment toward him? In present times, Thunder has the power to cover the heavens with a single hand and he still rampages about unchecked in the three realms. Mengchuan, if you still consider yourself a man, then accept this resurrection that the Wind Singer is offering you. Fight on! For the dignity of the human race! For your fallen comrades and loved ones!”
”You’re right…”
A flicker of life appeared in Mengchuan’s cloudy eyes. ”Young warrior, you are like a bright lamp shining in this eternal night. You have my thanks!”
I chuckled. ”Your comrades would definitely want to see you pull yourself together. Since Dada has fused with my Sky Obsidian Greedy Wolf, then you have also become my friend! Come with me! We will go to the Violet Empire and look for Xinran. She definitely knows of a way to resurrect you.”
”Alright, let’s do it!”
……
It was time to wrap everything up now that I had finished all of the quests that Mengchuan had given me.
I sheathed the Cyan Netherworld Sword before crouching down and carefully picking up Mengchuan’s corpse. I was deathly afraid of dropping any of his bones by accident, so I used the Soul Suppressing Cloak to wrap up his remains. After that, I summoned my clone and the Phantom Wolf King to protect him as we left the ruined capital and started to sprint toward the Violet Empire.
It was at this moment that I heard a beep. It was a message from Beiming Xue: ”Big bro, I’m tired. I’m gonna go to bed first. What time will you be sleeping?”
I replied, ”In about an hour? Go to sleep first, Beiming. I have two nice surprises for you once you wake up, heh heh…”
”Oh? Oh?! What nice surprises?!” Beiming Xue exclaimed excitedly.
I paused for a moment and then shared the screenshots of the 6-star Outstanding bow, the Dragonbone String, and the Bone Eroding Arrow skill. The first was a super long-range weapon, the divine weapon ranked sixth in the entire server! The second was a skill that would greatly lower an enemy’s Defense, something that would be invaluable when fighting against metal-armor players and bosses!
”Oh? Well, that’s fine too, I guess. Just busy yourself with something, I’ll be done soon enough.”
”Alright! Be careful, big bro! I’ll just set up a stall in Sky City and wait for you!”
”Gotcha.”
I turned off the chat window. Both the Dragonbone String and Bone Eroding Arrow were treasures that money couldn’t buy. My Luck was pretty darn good. I managed to get both of them from this excursion to the Roland Empire’s ruins.
Of course, killing Mad Warrior Buffett, a Level 170 Heaven Rank boss, could be considered a miracle in and of itself. However, we had paid a heavy price as well. Our three-man party of Famous Generals had died twice while fighting this boss, so it could be said that we had used these lives to buy our victory. Then again, if it was another party with less firepower and healing, even a thousand lives wouldn’t be enough against that insane boss.
Even my attack power wasn’t enough to truly cut through the Defense of this Level 170 Heaven Rank boss, so there would be very few people in the China server who would be able to hurt him. Furthermore, He Yi’s Royal Road had boosted all of our stats by 50%, and this made my HP and Defense extremely high too.
I could well imagine Mad Dragon’s main force trying to kill the Mad Warrior. Losers like Iron Pardon and Roaming Dragon would be one-shot by Buffett’s flurry attack and Coldmoon Rose might not even be able to break through his Defense. Even if they brought a hundred thousand players with them, most of them would likely be nothing more than fodder.
Heavenblessed’s system allowed bosses to rise in level and rank, just like players. The more players they killed, the stronger a boss would become. That was why bosses like Thunder and Coldblade would only grow stronger and stronger. In fact, there was a distinct possibility that they would eventually be practically impossible to kill.
……
A man, a shadow, and a little wolf darted through the forest at lightning speed as they sprinted toward the Violet Empire. After running for a full 45 minutes, we finally entered the Violet Empire’s territory. We went straight to the palace and I didn’t disturb the Shadow Dancer Xue Wei this time. I personally went to the altar and selected the teleportation formation. Just as expected, one of the destinations I could choose was the God Domain. Xinran had already opened the door for me.
Whoosh!
Teleporting to the God Domain was free. When I clicked on the button, a dazzling light blinded me and I appeared in the gloomy and mysterious God Domain. I raised my head and saw a tiny dot slowly grow bigger as it dashed down from the sky filled with blood-red clouds. It was that ugly and sinister-looking Winged Silver Dragon. A tiny beauty clad in dark red armor was sitting on the back of the ugly dragon. Her long hair danced in the wind as she beamed at me. She shouted, ”Big brother, did you finish all the quests in the ruins of the Roland Empire?”
”Yes.”
I nodded my head and looked toward Mengchuan’s remains. I continued, ”I brought Mengchuan’s corpse here, but the energy of his soul is very weak. Xinran, can we begin the resurrection ritual right away?”
”Yeah.” Xinran hopped off Akachi’s back and ran toward me. She grabbed onto my arm and said, ”Big brother, hold on tightly to Mengchuan. I’ll bring you the magic formation I prepared to resurrect him.”
”Okay…”
A wild and fierce power tugged against my arm as Xinran leapt into the air while holding on to my arm. Ah, she was really fast! Akachi’s voice rang out from below us. ”Oh, my adorable master, wait for your most loyal slave. My wings are simply too heavy, so there’s no way that I’ll ever be able to catch up to you as you streak across the sky like a comet…”
