133 Awakened Will
Although Lin Shuang was extremely happy to see the members of the Deicide Guild gradually awaken their will to resist, his expression was still gloomy. He took out an Orange-grade magic staff from his backpack and handed it to the male mage. He also showed the attributes of the magic staff to everyone.
[Awakened Will]
[Level Requirement: 20]
[Grade: Orange]
[Health: 5,000]
[Defense: 10,000]
[Agility: 9,900]
[Attack: 6,000]
[Additional attributes:]
[Absolute Defense: As long as one has sufficient mana, as long as one’s level is not more than 30 levels above the holder, they will not be able to break through it. Moreover, the holder can move at will and counterattack in the protective shield.]
[Spatial Shift: It can mark three spatial nodes and change them freely. The holder can freely teleport between the marked points, ignoring all kinds of magic barriers, spatial magic arrays, sealing magic arrays, and other tools with all kinds of confinement effects.]
[Introduction: In an ancient magical country, the staff of the leader of the revolutionaries was not only a magic staff that had followed the revolutionaries for their entire lives, but it was also a symbol of awakening the will of the commoners to resist.]
[The divine artifact would choose its master. Although it was like a withered tree now, it was only a divine artifact. If one wanted to use it, they had to have the will to resist the oppressor. Otherwise, it would forever be a withered tree trunk. It was like how the commoners didn’t dare to make a sound when they were pressed to death by the nobles. Even when the flames burned to ashes, they still didn’t reveal any power.]
“You’ve seen the attributes of this magic staff. If you’re still a man and don’t want to be bullied by these bastards, pick it up! Tell it what you think and let it know the unwillingness and anger in your heart. Let it shine again as it should! Then take this magic staff and kill this bastard in front of you. Make him pay for his actions!
“But if you don’t dare, then pretend that I didn’t say anything. This magic staff is still yours. However, it’s not a symbol of your resistance. Instead, it’s a fire stick. Let it rot in the ground and turn to ashes, following its master! And you will be expelled from the Deicide Guild forever. Although we won’t chase after you, you can’t appear in front of our Deicide Guild again.”
After saying that, Lin Shuang did not say anything else. He only raised his magic staff in front of the male mage and waited for his decision.
The male mage looked at the magic staff in front of him and recalled the scenes just now, as well as the pressure of reality and life after he stepped into society as an adult. Although there was not only a self-deprecating expression on his face, a light of will called resistance was quietly born in the male mage’s eyes.
After reaching out to take the magic array that was like a withered tree from Lin Shuang’s hand, the male mage muttered. “Am I already so weak? When I was young, I always thought that I was the best in the world. Helping my classmates, friends, and so on. After an accident and provoking a powerful person, my girlfriend became depressed and my friends lost their jobs. I wasn’t as frivolous as I was back then. I won’t be as hot-blooded as when I was young. I’ve been oppressed by reality, life, and the baptism of society. So I’ve long become a coward?”
Although the male mage’s voice was very soft at first, as he asked himself from the bottom of his heart, his voice became louder.
Lin Shuang, who was closest to the male mage, had heard all his mutterings clearly from the beginning. He did not expect that the person he casually chose would have such an experience. Just now, Lin Shuang’s sixth sense had been reminding him to hand the Awakened Will to the male mage in front of him. The two would match very well.
He originally did not care about the hint from his sixth sense. He did not like to rely on his intuition to act. That way, the probability of making mistakes would be very high. However, just as he was about to take out a magic staff from his backpack and give it to the male mage, his hand involuntarily reached for the magic staff.
Could this be the reason why his talent and top-notch luck led him to choose him? Although Lin Shuang had countless doubts in his heart, he did not show them. Instead, he stared at the magic staff that was gradually emitting a faint golden light.
“Is this still the same me? Is this still the same Chen Feng who can fight for justice and punish evil? No, this is not the Chen Feng from my memories! I am now a Chen Feng who has been ground down by reality, society, and power. I have become a coward!”
Although Chen Feng was mocking himself, the light emitted by the awakened will magic staff did not extinguish. Instead, it became even more dazzling.
The staff that looked like a dead tree also began to revive and gradually stretched out. It gradually expanded from a dry branch less than 30 centimeters long to a magic scepter more than a meter long.
“Guild Master, thank you so much. If not for your words, I wouldn’t have realized that I had changed from the high-spirited young man in the past to this complete coward.
“Although I’ve become extremely tactful now and have been polished into a coward by reality, life, and power, had the rules become that cowards must be at the mercy of others and be bullied?
“We just have the mentality of getting by. We don’t think there’s a need to provoke those arrogant idiots for a small matter. But just as you said just now, once the small matters are stacked together, it will be a huge matter!
“For commoners like us, after we were bullied, we retreated again and again to prevent those arrogant idiots from provoking us again. But we also have a bottom line. We also know what face is. We know what it means to be equal!”
As he spoke, Chen Feng appeared. Under the terrified gaze of the member of the Dragon God Guild, he slowly walked up to him and looked at him coldly. “It’s not that we don’t want to resist. We just feel that there’s no point in trading our lives for the lives of you scum. But in a situation where we’re retreating again and again, it’s a little too much for you to still be so aggressive!”
Looking at Chen Feng’s cold expression, as if he was looking at a corpse, the member of the Dragon God Guild was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground. He kept wiping the tiles with his sleeve. “Brother, I was wrong just now. I apologize. I went too far just now. I’ll wipe off this floor tile now.”
Chen Feng looked at the Dragon God Guild member who feared the strong and bullied the weak.When he saw that he was weak, he trampled him with all his might. When he saw that he was strong, he became a pug.
A look of disgust flashed across his face.
