Chapter 221: Misunderstanding?
Besides equipment, the boss also dropped a neck-breaking skill book.
Of course, it was assigned to Chuxue.
When bringing Kurei back, almost all the undead had been wiped out, and more people were cleaning the battlefield.
By the way, after defeating the Ice Spear Hunter Captain, his level jumped to 33, and even his rarity reached gold.
But the skill bar still only contained two skills—Heavy Strike and Unmatched Realm.
It was strange; logically, a gold-grade NPC or monster should have at least three skills, and considering their inherent traits, probably more.
But the panel doesn’t lie; Kurei is not some special profession that can hide information.
Moreover, when they previously killed the boss, the Ice Flow Shield did not dissipate.
How did that exaggerated number of 14,382 come out?
Was the attack power too high? Even after damage reduction, there was still that much; but thinking about it, it seemed implausible; with such damage, one could say it was diamond-grade.
The second possibility is a skill that ignores shields.
Excluding Heavy Strike, that leaves only Unmatched Realm.
But isn’t that a status buff?
Could it be… that using this move could change the skill set?
Thinking that way, the Heavenly Flow Burst he saw at the time made sense.
Although he was very curious, after he woke up, he claimed he just happened to do it and didn’t know what had happened.
…
“Everyone, through our collective efforts, this spirit army has been eradicated, and the ogre leader commanding this army has been slain by me.”
The soldiers below all showed expressions of awe; the strength of the Ice Spear Hunters was evident, and being able to take down their leader indicated that Kurei’s power was unfathomable.
“However… this has also cost us quite a bit of time, and the army of Qianyan City is still waiting for us. Now, I’ll give you half an hour to prepare; once the time is up, we set off immediately!”
Upon hearing this, many players breathed a sigh of relief, thinking they were going to have to toil through the night.
Now it seems, there’s still a chance to have dinner.
The players logged off one after another, those who needed to eat did so, and those who needed the restroom went as well, while the soldiers simply sat down to rest.
This battle was too exhausting for them.
Brother Shiu and the others also logged off to eat.
In the end, only Achen and Starry remained.
“Ahem… Kurei, I’ll be leaving for a bit.”
“No, Miss, you can’t leave my line of sight. If anything happens, I won’t be able to explain it to the general.” Kurei shook his head.
“…Is this your reason for fainting earlier?
After taking a few steps, he stubbornly followed her.
Damn! Is eating not allowed now?!
“Kurei.”
“Miss, what is it?”
“Do you have to follow me if my stomach’s upset?”
“Yes!” He replied decisively, then felt something was off and stammered, “No, that’s…”
“Don’t worry, I’ll be back before we set off.”
“…Alright.”
“It’s fine, she will protect me.” Juchan pointed at Starry.
It seemed Starry’s reputation and her strength against the boss had left a deep impression on him, Kurei nodded a little, “Miss, please be careful; there may still be remnants of the undead around. If you encounter any enemies, call me.”
“Mm.”
Walking behind a big tree, after confirming that no one could see this place, she logged off.
Taking off the helmet, her stomach immediately protested with a growl.
There was no way; after finishing the arena in the morning, rushing towards Yunshui City, then leading the troops out and fighting the undead, there was simply no time for lunch.
But it seemed she hadn’t heard Ziyu call for lunch either?
A bit strange.
Pushing the door open, Auntie’s room was still tightly shut.
Beep beep.
“Ziyu?”
“I’m here, brother, what’s up?” The voice quickly came out, and one could vaguely hear excitement.
Still playing?
“It’s almost 7 o’clock; have you eaten?”
“7… what!!!??? It’s 7 o’clock?” “… The sudden scream almost took Ziyu away.
If I’m not mistaken, “Did you not eat lunch?”
“…”
“Go eat now; you can’t go too long without food.”
“Wait, how about… brother, could you bring me a takeaway? I’m a bit busy right now.”
“…Sure, what do you want to eat?”
“Just like you!”
…
Arriving at the snack shop downstairs, casually ordered two ham sets; that’s quick, just a few minutes.
I don’t know what Ziyu is playing with; the charm of this game is understandable; just a few days ago, he was playing it tirelessly as well.
Only, I wonder what could take so long in the Beginner Village.
After finishing the hidden plot in the Beginner Village, there shouldn’t be any sprites hiding in the cave to the north of the village.
Forget it, once she gets out of the Beginner Village, she’ll know; she should also be close to level 10.
If there’s time, I can take her to catch up with the army in Yunshui City and let her gain experience as part of the party.
After stuffing himself, he placed the takeaway in the living room.
Logged back in.
As the surroundings changed, he reappeared behind the tree.
He hurried back.
“Miss, you’re back.”
“Mm, how long until we depart?”
“Soon, about 5 more minutes.”
…
About two minutes into the countdown, at least 80% of the players had returned; although they could delay for working or schooling, they would not easily be late for game events.
“Achen, what should we do next?” Brother Shiu asked.
“Let’s follow the NPC; there shouldn’t be any monsters left.” The task difficulty was only A grade; this wave of monsters was just about it.
“Understood.”
With no enemies obstructing them, and with the strength of all the earth soldiers enhanced, their marching speed was at least 50% faster than before.
Around 8 o’clock, they finally saw a dense crowd of human soldiers and players in the distance.
“Miss, we’ve arrived!”
“Yeah… I wonder how Aijue will feel when he sees that the earth soldiers have been mostly taken away by Kurei.”
As they spoke, at the end of the flat ground, a small dark spot was rapidly charging towards the Yunshui army.
As the distance closed, they gradually began to see the true face of that small dot.
A man with short light purple hair, holding a magic pattern great knife, gallantly rode in.
“It’s the leader of the Qianyan army.” Achen recognized this guy at a glance since he had seen him on the forum.
“Okay, I’ll go greet him.” Kurei said nervously, as he was just a lieutenant and had no confidence in facing a true general.
Achen didn’t say much; there were some things he had to face.
The distance between the two sides continued to close, and Kurei began waving from 50 meters away.
However, the opposing leader showed no signs of stopping, his horse continued to charge, and his body lowered, preparing his great knife behind him, forming a fighting posture.
The lieutenant’s expression froze; he didn’t understand what this meant.
“Wait! We are the Yunshui City army; sir, is there a misunderstanding!?”
“…No response, the man continued to gallop at high speed, his Demon-Slaying Knife carrying the momentum of destruction.
In a rush, Kurei raised the Poison Blade horizontally, and the terrifying impact of both him and the sword flew backward!
-3925
Kurei was violently smashed to the ground, blood gushing uncontrollably from his mouth.
What’s going on?! Isn’t this guy from our side?
Achen looked at this scene in disbelief.
