Chapter 410: Nightstar—Black Hole

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Majestic Hero had unleashed his killer move that boasted absolute power, binding two Liches with a single stroke to make the perfect opening for Black G.o.d to infiltrate. For Qin Ruo"s part, he was profoundly intimidated by the ultrmagnetic field Majestic Hero created, staying motionless for a long time—such a move was never heard before, but from the steps made to control the elements alone, it must have been a secret technique Majestic Hero himself created.

Elementalism could actually create such a frightening magical technique?!

Qin Ruo could not help flus.h.i.+ng in embarra.s.sment…

Following his advancement to Tier 5, especially after defeating Chameleon and Ron in direct battle, his heart had been full of invisible confidence. He believed that though himself had yet to compare to Tier 5 Supreme Champions, he must be close, and could simply catch up with a few days of skill training and stand toe-to-toe with the Supreme Champions!

Now, it appears that the very idea was clearly laughable! Not only did Majestic Hero"s single skill form a ma.s.sive magnetic field and alter his surroundings, but it also directly affected the Liches that were within their own defensive barriers.

Moreover, even if the barriers were protecting them from any harm, it did not keep them immune from their surroundings! Amidst the profound pulling force, they were akin to little rafts in ma.s.sive tidal waves and had completely lost all power to control themselves. Their flight technique was useless as they were entirely dragged to the source of the pull…

Qin Ruo could well imagine that—if not for their party alliance—should Majestic Hero have unleashed that skill upon himself, he would lose his ability to attack like the Lich, and could only await the Pigasus"s Radiant Judgement!

If that was the case for Majestic Hero, then what about Black G.o.d? Was his ability inferior to Majestic Hero?

If not, what about Scarlet Bauhinia, Netherclaw and the ten other veteran Tier 5 Supreme Champions? Who was the strong or weak when compared to Majestic Hero?

For that split second, Qin Ruo was distracted. It was fortunate that he had held the "Lich" down to an 8-second stun, or that moment of absent-mindedness would have unimaginable consequences.

Boom!

A small door had suddenly been carved into the layer of flat wall guarded by the three Liches! With a small opening tunneled inside the hall that only had two pa.s.sageways previously, Black G.o.d swiftly withdrew his hand that had injected magical power into the wall, and, with a spread of his wings, soared weightlessly into the secret sealed room Darius had spoken of!

"Hurry!" Majestic Hero suddenly cried out urgently. "I"m using too much mana and can"t recover at once—I can only last another 4 seconds! Hurry!"

Then, as he quickly downed a bottle into his own mouth, he turned toward his other party member. "Qin Ruo, take care of yourself!"

"4 seconds?"

Qin Ruo quickly realized that the secret spell Majestic Hero created was a spell that took a heavy toll, perhaps far beyond Twelve Frostramparts too!

A moment of inspiration struck him then.

Spreading his Angelic Wings, Qin Ruo determinedly deactivated the dozen of Frostramparts he had already condensed and swiftly accelerated toward Majestic Hero.

At the same time, Poochie, which had been awaiting orders to attack on the ground headb.u.t.ted the still-stunned Lich toward the direction of Majestic Hero"s vortex.

Quickly noticing Qin Ruo"s unusual move through Elemental Perception, Majestic Hero was startled.

"Qin Ruo!" He cried, unsure what Qin Ruo was up to, although his teammate"s actions would undoubtedly wreak havoc to his plan.

Originally, he had imagined that he could still use the Pigasus"s enchanted bind on one of the two Liches when they simultaneously attacked right after the Black Hole dissipated. Now, however, with one more Lich added to his worries, Majestic Hero was not even sure that he could fully retreat!

Still, he could tell that Qin Ruo was abruptly acting like that in the lead-up to something—and just as he thought, in the instant Qin Ruo got close, he hurriedly drew out a black bottle with a celestial dazzle and stuffed it into Majestic Hero"s hand.

"Quick, drink!" He said urgently.

"Advanced MP Potion?!"

Majestic Hero"s eyes twinkled and did not pause to down it instantly—though he did not know what attribute that potion had, it must be effective given Qin Ruo"s confidence. And as soon as the potion trickled down his throat, Majestic Hero felt that, even as the Black Hole spell wildly drained his mana, his withering spirit suddenly regained renewed vigor.

Instant spirit restore!

Not only did Majestic Hero regain peak performance immediately, he effectively reduced his MP drain from 100 points per second down to 40…

"How long does it last?" Qin Ruo asked, flapping his wings and stopping in front of Majestic Hero. He was naturally aware of what kind of apparent mana recovery effect that the MP Potion made from Grade 3 Nightstar herbs could produce.

Majestic Hero made an OK hand gesture with a relaxed expression and smiled.

"Fifteen seconds! Whew, success! That Black G.o.d rascal will have an easy time now…"

"Right… this potion of yours," he suddenly asked Qin Ruo, "Grade 3?"

Having not to worry about Lich attacks in fifteen seconds, Qin Ruo, too, relaxed and sighed in relief. "Harvested near the Underworld"s dimensional portal," he replied, nodding. "Grade 3 herbs, Nightstar."

"You"re really generous."

Majestic Hero smiled bitterly, shaking his head and feeling only respect toward Qin Ruo"s lavishness. "Of all the Grade 3 potions I"ve consumed, you"re… the most generous."

"I"ve never had it before." Qin Ruo shrugged, having no opportunity to drink the nine bottles of Nightstar MP Potion brewed by Black Market Trader even now.

Majestic Hero was left even more speechless.

Das.h.i.+ng into the secret room, Black G.o.d used every limb to swiftly activate every contraption Darius mentioned and used less than four seconds to procure the Golden Key, before das.h.i.+ng out of the room as if fleeing for his life!

However, once he flew out, the violent battle and threatening scenario he imagined was not present. Instead, all three Liches had actually been thrown together and bound by Majestic Hero"s Black Hole in a deadly grip…

Through it all, the two provocateurs were flapping their wings and chatting away idly amidst the enraged howls of the three Tier 6 Boss, their contented appearance almost throwing Black G.o.d off his sense of direction and crash into the ceiling.

"d.a.m.n!

"What is happening?"

Black G.o.d was very much astonished and bewildered.

"Why are you still standing there stupidly if you"re already pit here?" Majestic Hero mocked as Black G.o.d flew toward them with a rather blank expression. "Don"t you have to run?"

"Oh!"

Black G.o.d b.u.mbled in response as he regained focus, his gaze remaining perplexed as he streaked past the pair.

Swis.h.!.+

One of the Lich"s barrier was torn apart by Poochie, just as the last Lich"s barrier was breached by the Pigasus"s Light magic.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Shadow Clone!

Poochie did not let up—as its cooldown pa.s.sed, it cast the same spell and stunned the Lich for another eight seconds.

At the same time, Qin Ruo"s wings flapped forward as he quickly left the boundary of the Black Hole.

Poochie a.s.saulted once more! This time, it directly knocked another Lich to the edge of the Black Hole, before viciously stunning it for two seconds and sending it flying out of the Black Hole, away from Majestic Hero!

The Pigasus acted at the same time as well. A sacred beam descended from on high, cras.h.i.+ng down on the body of the last Lich!

Great Hero"s target hit, Psystrike effect activated.

Lich"s is disoriented, effect lasts for 3 seconds!

The system notified, and Majestic Hero quickly pulled back and deactivated Black Hole, his Angelic Wings flapping in haste…

When the three Liches regained consciousness from their respective debuffs, the trio had already flown off hundreds of meters away, approaching the promenade zone of the underground maze!

"Sly insects!"

"Rawr!!!"

The three Liches howled bellowed in outrage, quaking the entire hall!

It was a pity that the Liches duty was to guard the pa.s.sage to the underground city and was unable to independently leave the nearby area of the entrance. They could only hence watch helplessly as the trio flew into the promenade, carrying that mysterious object from the sealed room away from sight.

On the way back to Eternity Peak, Black G.o.d handed the Golden Key to Qin Ruo.

The pair indicated that their main purpose of working together and infiltrate the underground city was mainly for the divinity mission at the latter half—they thought nothing of one mere Legendary equipment, and Qin Ruo"s had contributed the most by using a bottle of Grade 3 Mana Potion in the course of the mission. Last but not least, amongst the trio only Qin Ruo did not have a full-set of Legendary equipment, and therefore, in the spirit of helping the younger generation, it was best for Qin Ruo to accept the mission since it was no loss for them.

Qin Ruo certainly did not act pretentiously. While the price of a Legendary equipment held considerable to Majestic Hero and Black G.o.d, they would not value it too much.

Thus, before the Eye of Hades patrolled once more, Qin Ruo"s trio took the Golden Key to Darius.

"That"s right, this is it."

Both his hands shaking, Darius took the Golden Key handed to him by Qin Ruo, his old eyes welling in tears as he mumbled unintelligibly. "I… I"ve thought I would never have the chance to see it in this life again…"

"Hades!"

Darius suddenly cried out in the barrier, bellowing madly and hysterically as he pointed at the direction of the Eye of Hades right in front of Qin Ruo"s trio.

"Can you see this! The day the ten Golden Keys are gathered, the descendants of the Buried City would give you your just deserts! Your claws and your teeth will be utterly devastated by their flames of rage!!!"

"Just you wait!!!"

The more he raged, the more roused Darius became, his voice unfurling across every direction from the pinnacle of Eternity peak.

Qin Ruo"s trio looked on quietly, infected by Darius"s expressions and actions, their minds immeasurably somber.

It was after a while when Darius finally remembered to thank the person who obtained the Golden Key.

"Qin Ruo, this is the reward for your quest this time."

Both Majestic Hero and Black G.o.d grinned together after Qin Ruo accepted it.

"Boots… just the thing. Go change."

"This is good. It"s only your weapon and cloak that aren"t Legendary now. By the way, what"s the attribute?"

Qin Ruo said nothing. He smiled stupidly as he showed off the equipment attribute.

Seconds later, Black G.o.d turned toward Majestic Hero somberly. "I"m regretting this…"

Ignoring him, Majestic Hero nodded indifferently.

"The attribute fits you well."
