No Tara Under The Horizon
Chapter 15's
Fire Boost!
It was the first general skill of a Magic Knight to be unlocked at Level 10 which provided an additional 15% of fire damage at rank 1, and 25% at rank 2. It was a PK trump card in the early stages of the game!
Unable to defend himself in time, a sudden jolt of pain penetrated my shoulder. It felt like a viper had bitten me.
128!
The amount of damage was staggering, at least compared to my max HP.
I slid out of the range of my opponent's attack. Tightly holding onto my green sword, I directed my gaze at the other party. It was an undead skeletal player holding a spear. It was not a random player, but precisely Level 17 Gui Guzi, someone who could truly enter within the Top 10 of the Floating Ice City.
“Heh!”
With an evil laugh, Gui Guzi thrust her spear towards me, clearly wanting revenge.
Holy hooch!
The spear turned into a piercing cold light, like a furious dragon growling out of the sea. Even though it was a basic attack, the basics behind it were strong. This Gui Guzi is really skilled!
I retreated half a step with my left leg as my hand quickly took out a health potion, which I immediately downed. This allowed my shoulder to receive the least damage from this inevitable attack. At the same time, I blocked Gui Guzi's spear head using my sword hilt, and with a twist of my wrist sent out my own sword. “Go dr here!”
ding!
Sparks flew everywhere as Gui Guzi's spear was completely thrown. Shock appeared on his face as my green sword flowed into his chest like a cold ray of light.
Puchis!
Black blood splattered in the air as a massive amount of damage appeared above Gui Guzi—228's head!
I didn't bother to give him time to catch his breath and launch an attack, thrusting my longsword into his chest again and again. Then, I quickly changed positions, raised my right leg and kicked the handle of the spear. The heavy force dropped its weapon, its defense was stripped!
A chance!
Holy hooch!
My long sword slid down Gui Guzi's neck with a puncture and a sweep. I even activated an additional skill on my second attack. Slayer Slash wrapped my sword with a beam of light, cutting off Gui Guzi's neck.
“Person ..”
Gui Guzi's eyes widened. He could only watch as I destroyed it. As I sliced his neck with Slayer Slash, I growled, “It's your own fault you're dead. If you want revenge, come to me anytime!”
Plash…
Gui Guzi fell to her knees, dying with reluctant eyes. He is a Living Corpse Knight, a descendant of a Magic Knight, just like I am a subtype of a Warrior. His class gave him a ton of HP at the cost of a somewhat low attack power. After his initial attack failed, I actually took over the momentum and was able to easily kill him. Here, I can say with complete confidence.
I couldn't help but smile as I watched Gui Guzi's body gently slump to the ground. I sat on his back and downed another health herb to recover my HP.
By the time I finished, Gui Guzi's soul was already scattered.
ding!
System Notice: Player “Gui Guzi” has sent you a friend request. Do you accept?
A little surprised, I hit “Receive”, and Gui Guzi immediately appeared on my friend list. He was even my first friend in Heavenblessed.
Seconds later, Gui Guzi sent a message: “There are questions for you.”
“Ask,”I replied.
“Your PK resembles someone. Are you... Shadow Light Candles Martial God?” read another Gui Guzi message.
I'm dumbfounded. Shadow Candle Light? My way of PK is similar to the currently famous Candlelight Shadow?
After thinking about it for a while, I replied, “No.”
A few seconds later, Gui Guzi replied again. “Then it's good. Since you are not a Candlelight Shadow, then you are invincible. I will definitely kill you someday!”
Without saying a word, I closed the chat window. I stood up and looked at the night sky of this virtual world, with all the stars filling the darkness above. I can only laugh softly. “Is Candlelight Shadow that strong? If my delay does not exist, even if it is reduced to three tenths of a second, Candlelight Shadow will mean nothing!”
I sighed and wailed for a while. God fucking. I was also once the master of a generation, the king of games. I defeated Candlelight Shadow a few times in the past, the entire world was within my grasp, but now I was just a cripple with a delay of 0.7 seconds. Yes, facing Candlelight Shadow in this condition would mean death.
At this moment, another ding sounded.
System Notice: Player “Excellent Experts” has sent you a friend request. Do you accept?
I laughed away from myself. Thirteen finally left the village early.
After I hit accept, Du Thirteen immediately opened the voice chat. “Lu Chen, I'm here! Haha, there are only about three thousand people in Floating Ice City. I should rank pretty high, right?
“Betulkah? I've been here all day..” I poured cold water on him while laughing weakly.
Du Thirteen laughed again without getting angry. “I have received a gift search at the city gate. I need to kill the boss in the Frost Forest. Come help me if you have time, I can't form a party. ”
“Mn, give me your search location. I'll be there soon.”
“Do not..”
Du Thirteen hesitated, then spoke a few seconds later. “I am only Level 10, the masses here along the way almost killed me. Can you take me there?”
“Sure.”
I was even more speechless as I walked towards Floating Ice City.
Not long after, I saw Du Thirteen. This idiot was a Level 10 Warrior wearing a set of common grade equipment. He was at the entrance of the city, foolishly looking at the female players passing by, drooling on their white thighs. He looked like he could not wait to pounce on their feet and shouted, “I'm hungry sister, feed me, feed me [1] ..”
“Thirteen!”
I shouted from a distance. Du Thirteen quickly found me and ran to the edge of the forest. He drooled when he saw my equipment. “Dirt! You are so cool! Iron level swords with bonus stats, iron level chest guards, iron level boots, and iron level hand guards. Fuck...”
Du Thirteen's expression then turned into an expression that required a good beating. His face was still drooling, he asked, “Brother Chen, do you have any weapons, metal protectors or leather protectors that you do not use? You can throw it at me. ”
“No, we'll talk about it when I do.”
“OK!”
Du Thirteen poses as a younger brother in the game. He was well aware of his own abilities and he was actually a qualified subordinate. If his boss took a cigar, he was the type of person who was in a hurry to turn it on. If his boss looks unhappy, he will immediately pick up the bricks and yell at the man across the street, “Don't be arrogant, son. You think I won't clap for you ?! ”
We stormed into the forest together. Fortunately, the masses along the way were not very high in level. I easily dealt with monsters lower than Level 20 and Du Thirteen leech experience as he followed by my side.
The target of the quest was a Level 17 Wolfman. With the ability of the Thirteen, fighting him was clearly seeking death. However, it only took me ten seconds to complete it.
While he cut off his head, Du Thirteen praised me nonstop. “Lu Chen, you are very strong, very handsome, very sharp! My admiration for you flows like a river.”.
“I think it's better if you talk about your plans to level up,” cut me.
“Oh, I will go to the Forest Pig Forest in a moment to level up. There was a Level 11 Forest Pig there. If I have to kill monsters, faster to level up there.”
“Mn, then I will level up alone. Oh yes, have you learned your grade skill, the Level 10 Warrior skill, Heavy Slash?
“Ah? Expertise..?” Du Thirteen put on a confused expression. “What skills?”
“Fuck!” I almost vomited blood. I threw him 10 silver. “Find in Class Hall in the city. Go grind the levels after you learn them. Do not forget to buy some herbs as well. I'm going to level up now. ”
“Mn, alright!”
After taking my silver, Thirteen left with beaming faces.
I shook my head, and laughed softly. “No expectations..”.
I returned to the Frost Mound and killed some skeletons around the grave. Then, I absorbed their sparks to replenish my undead body.
Undead type monsters had 15% higher stats than the living ones. Their attack power and attack speed were extremely high but their experience and falling speed were also 15% higher than usual. It was a place where the risk was as high as the profit. In one night, I obtained 11 Little Magic Stones and made a decent amount from selling them.
Around 4 am, Du Thirteen sent me a message: “Too tired. I can't hold on, I'll go to sleep.”
Standing inside the Night Creatures camp, at Frost Mound, I saw my level—18. I finally reached Level 18 after an entire night of grinding. This was my first time getting onto the Floating Ice City ranking list. I happen to be 99th. There are too many crazy levelers here!
I haven't really started grinding hardcore yet. Instead, I have spent some time searching for information and maps. I don't want to stand out this time. If I wanted to rush into the Top 10, it wouldn't even be a problem for me. This was because the first place back was occupied by a Level 20 Wind Fantasy. I'm not too far from that.
After all, my equipment is too good, especially my Beside class weapons. I am sure that no more than three people in Floating Ice City have a chance against me in a duel.
After being very satisfied with myself, I went out to rest.
When I took off the helmet, the time was already 4:30, and the sky was slowly starting to light up.
I went to the bathroom and washed my face. Looking in the mirror, I saw my face smeared with a trace of fatigue. Forget it, I'll go to sleep after the shower!
I took off my shirt only to find scary purplish-red patches on my arms and back. Fuck those?!
I was stunned on the spot. With a feeling of coldness and drowning, despair and terror filled my mind as a thought formed—
Mortis livor!
This was livor mortis, something that could only happen to corpses!
Feed me is a phrase used by some players when they need healing.
