Chapter 1454: Frost Blade’s Panic
After receiving the token, Wang Yu analysed it. The token was entirely red, with a life-like Phoenix engraved on it.
Phoenix Order: Precious Tool, uses the spirit of the Phoenix to summon the Flame Sovereign Nifis under any circumstances.
In actuality, giving away this token showed that Nephis was taking responsibility for signing the Entourage Contract with Wang Yu.
After all, by taking up one of Wang Yu’s entourage slots, it would mean that Nephis had become one of his underlings. Even if Nephis was a God-grade BOSS with overwhelming power and had no care for her master, the rules of the game couldn’t be broken. Even if she did not listen to the calls of her master, she would be unable to defy against the order of the token.
Of course, Wang Yu was a martial arts practitioner himself and had an abnormal thirst for battle. He was already dissatisfied with the number of battles that he got to fight himself, thus he naturally wouldn’t bother about finding a good entourage to replace him in battle. The reason why he was so reluctant was because he did not like the feeling of getting forced by others to do something.
At this moment, upon seeing the token in his hands, their transaction had turned into that of a deal instead. At this point, Wang Yu nodded in satisfaction and said, “En, I’ll accept it then! Let’s sign the contract!”
As he was speaking, Wang Yu handed a contract over to Nephis. After glancing at it for a brief moment, Nephis proceeded to sign on it, turning into Wang Yu’s entourage.
God of Death’s Left Hand, who had been watching the entire scene play out in front of him, was stunned speechless…
“This… such a scenario is even possible?”
God of Death’s Left Hand never would have thought that a player could extort items from a BOSS… F*ck, it was no wonder that the players from Quan Zhen Sect were all so filthy rich…
Fearless patted God of Death’s Left Hand’s shoulder and said in an elderly tone, “Young man, you have to start learning the ropes! You have a long road ahead of you.”
“Heng!” Nephis coldly snorted and glared at Fearless, before waving her hand and sending the few of them out of the dungeon and into the God of Flames Mines.
Upon seeing their comrades coming out of the dungeon safely, the other Quan Zhen Sect and Kingdom of Hell members that had died previously ran over excitedly to surround them.
However, when everyone saw Nephis together with them, they were instantly stunned speechless. They uttered in shock and fear, “This… what’s going on?”
“There’s no need to be afraid!” Fearless waved his hand and explained, “She is now Old Bull’s entourage, she wouldn’t hurt anyone…”
However, before Fearless could finish his sentence, Nephis raised her finger and pointed it at him. Shortly after, a sharp ray of light penetrated Fearless’ head, instantly killing him on the spot.
“Oh, sh*t!”
Upon seeing this, everyone immediately scattered in all directions away from Nephis.
Wang Yu angrily glared at Nephis and asked, “What are you doing?”
“That’s none of your business!”
Nephis returned Wang Yu’s glare, before opening up a tear in space and disappearing right into it under everyone’s gazes.
“…”
Everyone was scared sh*tless by Nephis’ ruthlessness. Even though she had already vanished from the place, none of them dared to get closer.
“F*ck, that b*tch killed me!!” Fearless began angrily cursing in the team chat.
It couldn’t be helped, even though Fearless knew some resurrection magic, Nephis’ action had caught him completely off guard, resulting in him resurrecting back in the city… He had finally managed to level up to LV 55 and was able to learn new abilities, but the previous death had taken away 10% of his EXP bar, resulting in him dropping back down to LV 54.
“You deserved it! Who asked you to be so cocky!” Ming Du and Boson both revealed a look of disdain at the same time.
…
Everyone’s harvests from the dungeon this time round were plentiful. After clearing the dungeon, they followed Wang Yu back to the bar in Yamatai City to turn in the quest.
The difficulty of the quest was proportionate to the reward handed out upon its completion. The quest this time round was many times harder than an ordinary S-ranked quest. Thus, the reward given would naturally be extraordinary.
After Wang Yu turned in the quest, all of the members in the team received a huge amount of EXP and Fame. Additionally, everyone received a skill book as well, allowing those members that did not obtain anything from the dungeon previously to leave with a reward.
Seems like the boss of this bar had put in a lot of capital for the reward.
“What skill did you get?” After receiving the reward, Ming Du went over to Boson and asked.
“Rising Uppercut Slash, you?” Boson asked.
“Not telling you…” Ming Du replied conceitedly, before getting punched to the ground with a fist from Boson.
…
Wang Yu also received a skill book called [Martial God Mighty Kick].
[Martial God Mighty Kick]: Upon activation, let out a mighty roar and forcefully stomp on the ground, causing all enemies within range to be knocked down or stunned. Additionally, pull all enemies towards the player, before unleashing an overbearing low kick to all enemies. At the same time, the player enters into the Super Armour state, unable to be moved or crowd controlled. MP cost 10%, CD duration 60s.
From its description, [Martial God Mighty Kick] appeared to be on the same level as [Shadow Chain Kick]. Even though the might of the former was slightly lacking compared to the latter, and there was even a period of immobility, it possessed a decent crowd control functionality and was considered a decent damage ability. If combined together with [Shadow Chain Kick], the player would likely be able to dish out a hundred points of damage in a split second.
“Young man!” Just when Wang Yu was admiring his new-found skill, the boss of the bar suddenly shouted at him with a smile, “Do you know of the Heart of Flames?”
“Oh?” Wang Yu was slightly startled upon hearing this. He asked in response, “Do you still have another quest to give to me?”
“No… no, I don’t!” The boss replied, “However, if you have the Heart of Flames, I am willing to exchange it with you for another skill.”
“Oh…” Wang Yu replied with a nod before disregarding the boss of the bar.
In actual fact, the Heart of Flames was in Wang Yu’s possession. However, seeing the expression that the boss of the bar revealed, the Heart of Flames must be an extremely precious treasure. After all, it was looted from Nephis, thus the rank of it must be extraordinary. How could such a precious item be worth a skill book? Wang Yu was no longer the amateur and naive rookie player that he was when he had just started the game.
“If you have it, you definitely have to exchange it with me!” Seeing that Wang Yu wasn’t willing to bother with him, the boss of the bar thought that the Heart of Flames wasn’t in his hands, and thus he began to harass the other players.
After clearing the dungeon, Kingdom of Hell and Quan Zhen Sect had finally ended their short-term cooperation. All in all, it could be considered a pleasant experience.
After saying their goodbyes, just when the players from Kingdom of Hell were about to depart, a system announcement suddenly rang out in the skies above them. <System Notification: Under the leadership of Player Boundless Ocean, Kyushu Squad fought their way through and cleared the pathway through the Ethel mountain range that has been blocked for over a thousand years, connecting the Brave Continent and the Common Era Continent. The valor of their deed shall be etched in history.>
“???”
Upon seeing the system notification, Frost Blade asked in shock, “What does this mean?”
“Do you not understand what it says?” Vainglory twitched his lips and said, “It just means that they have opened the passageway between the Europe region and China region, that’s nothing to be proud of. After all, we are the ones that opened the shipping route first.”
“Does that mean that the European players are able to enter our China region now?” Frost Blade asked once more.
“Obviously?” Vainglory replied speechlessly, “Frost, what’s wrong with you today, have you turned stupid?”
“No… it’s nothing!” Frost Blade frantically replied, “Have fun continuing playing the game guys, I have something to do so I’ll be offline for the next few days.”
After finishing his sentence, Frost Blade hurriedly logged off from the game.
“Is there something wrong with that kid?” Ming Du frowned and asked, “Why did he seem like he was in such a hurry to leave?”
“You wouldn’t understand even if I told you!” Spring Halo replied in a know-it-all tone and said, “Frost is a businessman. Naturally, he would have gone to understand the prices of the items in the European region. Do you think that he is a good-for-nothing trash like you?”
