Chapter 1846 – Broken Sword’s Power
As the aura of death saturated the mine, s.p.a.ce itself froze. The three Lava Hounds slid to a halt as they glared at the broken sword in s.h.i.+ Feng’s hand, wary. Pitch-black divine runes had appeared along the broken blade as the sword released plumes of dark smoke. The weapon felt cold and evil.
The Lava Hounds finally discerned the broken sword’s ident.i.ty, and fear flashed in their eyes. It was as if they had remembered something horrific from their past.
“Despicable heretic! You dare set foot in this sacred land!”
“Let the Almighty Fire G.o.d’s flames purify your soul!”
After s.h.i.+ Feng replaced the Abyssal Blade with the Evil G.o.d’s Inheritance, the broken sword seemed to trigger something in the three Lava Hounds. Suddenly, they began to grow larger as golden flames flared across their bodies.
Despite standing still, the solid rock beneath the Lava Hounds’ feet began to crack. s.p.a.ce tore around them as if it couldn’t withstand the golden flames’ power. It was as if the s.p.a.ce around them was no longer able to withstand the power of the golden flames.
s.h.i.+ Feng could also sense a threat of death from that golden fire. Moreover, s.h.i.+ Feng could tell that this death wouldn’t just end with a single lost level. He could feel a power akin to Soul Fire, although this was many times stronger. Burning and devouring his soul would be child’s play for this strange fire.
If these golden flames burned a player’s soul, the player’s account would likely be left permanently crippled…
Before s.h.i.+ Feng could think of a plan to get out of this troubling situation, the three Lava Hounds pounced as one.
At this point, s.h.i.+ Feng had no Skills that he could use to protect himself. In addition, the Lava Hounds’ Movement Speed had significantly increased. With no other options, s.h.i.+ Feng instinctively executed Sword’s...o...b..t.
Countless sword lights enveloped s.h.i.+ Feng, clas.h.i.+ng with the three gigantic, flaming beasts as they attacked.
Boom… Boom… Boom…
The resulting impacts tore the nearby rocky ground. The scattered sparks ignited anything they touched, transforming the area into a sea of fire.
The three Lava Hounds were thrown back, forming three large craters as they crashed into the ground. Damages of over -3,000 appeared above their heads.
In contrast, s.h.i.+ Feng remained standing in his original position, although the ground beneath him had been burned and melted. Now, he stood in a deep crater of his own that had a smooth, gla.s.sy surface.
What incredible power! So, this is a weapon that had once belonged to an Evil G.o.d? s.h.i.+ Feng was stunned as he looked at the injured Lava Hounds.
Truthfully, the broken sword he wielded was only Fragmented Legendary rank. Although the weapon provided a considerable boost to Strength and Attack Power, he hadn’t expected the boost to be this intense. After all, his Abyssal Blade was even stronger than ordinary Epic Weapons, but it had never been this powerful.
Meanwhile, the Lava Hounds before him nearly had enough Strength to rival High Mythic ranked monsters. Even after activating Twofold Berserk, he still hadn’t been a match for the Lava Hounds’ Strength, yet when he had used the Evil G.o.d’s Inheritance against these monsters, he felt as if he had hit a group of weak, powerless dogs. He hadn’t felt the intense impact that he had experienced during his prior clashes with these beasts.
Although he had seen weapons that could weaken an opponent’s power in the past, he had never seen one as strong as the Evil G.o.d’s Inheritance. The weapon had actually decimated Tier 4 Mythic monsters’ Strength to such a great extent.
That wasn’t all. When he had clashed with the Lava Hounds, he had felt his own Strength skyrocket. It was as if the broken sword had absorbed the monsters’ Strength, transferring it to him.
As s.h.i.+ Feng tried to get a better grasp on the Evil G.o.d’s Inheritance’s power, a Lava Hound stood up. This time, however, it did not charge at s.h.i.+ Feng. Instead, it howled with anger and formed a golden, threefold magic array in front of itself.
A moment later, a beam of fire shot out from the magic array, moving so fast that s.h.i.+ Feng couldn’t dodge in time.
This beam was the result of the Lava Hound’s Tier 4 Spell, Red Lotus Breath, the same Spell that had vaporized the Source Fire Ore earlier.
In response, s.h.i.+ Feng simply swung the Evil G.o.d’s Inheritance at the approaching beam of fire.
Boom!
The broken sword sliced the crimson beam in half, the flames disintegrating the stone wall behind s.h.i.+ Feng. s.h.i.+ Feng stumbled five steps back as a damage of over -10,000 appeared above his head.
Sure enough. s.h.i.+ Feng was indescribably shocked, glancing down at the Evil G.o.d’s Inheritance in his hand.
As he had guessed, the Evil G.o.d’s Inheritance could absorb an enemy’s power, converting it into his own. Moreover, he had received far more power from this attack than the last. Not only had he gained 20% more Strength, but his Fire Resistance had also increased by 30%.
This ability was simply frightening!
Due to this ability, his combat power had instantly soared. Moreover, he could sense that this still wasn’t the Evil G.o.d’s Inheritance’s limit. Although he couldn’t see the Evil G.o.d’s Inheritance’s exact Attributes, when he wielded the weapon, he felt that he hadn’t fully grasped the broken sword’s power. The broken sword could grant him even more boons depending on the strength of the attack he received.
However, the provided improvements were not without a flaw: their short duration. Each time it absorbed an attack’s power, the weapon’s wielder could only retain it for a short 10 seconds.
Even so, it was amazing.
s.h.i.+ Feng found it truly hard to imagine that the Evil G.o.d’s Inheritance was still incomplete and that he only exhibited 10% of its power after sacrificing his Attributes. If he could exhibit the weapon’s full power, the result would be unimaginable. Most likely, he’d be able to suppress the three Lava Hounds completely.
1 should be able to leave now. When he saw the other two beasts charge towards him, s.h.i.+ Feng licked his lips in excitement and ran to meet his enemies in battle.
Previously, the difference between their Basic Attributes had been too great. Even after using Twofold Berserk, he had been thoroughly suppressed. Now, however, his Strength had surpa.s.sed the Lava Hounds’ after he had weakened them and boosted his own with the Evil G.o.d’s Inheritance.
s.h.i.+ Feng relied on his superior Strength and technique to push the two Lava Hounds to the side. He then dashed for the mine’s entrance like a powerful gale. When the Lava Hounds caught up to s.h.i.+ Feng, he easily threw them back with an attack.
In less than five seconds, s.h.i.+ Feng burst from the mine and back into the canyon. Thousands of lava monsters then turned to look at the Swordsman.
“Big Sis Fire, the Guild Leader is out!” Flying Shadow said, breathing a sigh of relief when he saw s.h.i.+ Feng emerge from the mine. However, his excitement quickly faded, and a somber expression dominated his face.
Thousands of lava monsters surrounded s.h.i.+ Feng, including the three Mythic Lava Hounds that chased after him. Even a Tier
2 a.s.sa.s.sin like him or Fire Dance would have no hope of surviving such an encirclement, much less a Swordsman like s.h.i.+ Feng.
“I’ll attract the monsters’ attention. Ready a Defensive Magic Scroll and prepare to use it on the Guild Leader.” Fire Dance felt her scalp tingle as she watched the swarm of monsters close in on s.h.i.+ Feng, but she had to try to rescue her Guild Leader. She could feel how extraordinary the flames that enveloped the Lava Hounds were. If those flames claimed s.h.i.+ Feng’s life, he’d lose far more than a single level.
Just as Fire Dance was about to dash forward, s.h.i.+ Feng raised the Evil G.o.d’s Inheritance into the air.
Suddenly, the canyon’s Mana began to gather around the broken blade, and the sword gradually took on a mist-like state.
s.h.i.+ Feng swung the weapon lightly at the surrounding lava monsters.
The mist-like broken sword suddenly disappeared from s.h.i.+ Feng’s hand and transformed into five pitch-black sword lights that flew at the offending monsters, devouring everything in their path.
This move was the Evil G.o.d’s Inheritance’s only Skill after s.h.i.+ Feng had sacrificed a fraction of his Attributes.
G.o.dslayer!
With one attack, every Chieftain and Lord ranked lava monster nearby was incinerated, their ashes scattering in the wind. The surviving monsters were heavily injured and unable to make the slightest movement.
