Chapter 174: Chapter 174, Friend Makes Sacrifices to the Sky, Boundless Magical Power_1
Jiang Chen tried other skills as well. Whether it was Sword Array, Sword Qi Shatter, or Blade Storm, their speed, casting speed, and attack speed had all increased tenfold.
"Little Chen, your attack speed is so fast! I can’t even see the Sword Qi. Did you learn a new skill?"
"Of course."
"Great! This speed is as fast as a Sharpshooter’s Yuan energy bullets."
What did Three Hundred Sword Auras mean? They were like missiles tracking their enemies.
Jiang Chen equipped his new gear.
[Leilun Magnetic Sword (Gold Level)]
[Hundred Times Amplification in progress, amplification successful.]
[Wings: A pair of wings will appear on the body, allowing one to fly for a short period. Flight duration: 100 minutes. Cooldown time: 4.8 minutes.]
[Sword Pulling Slash: Sends out a curved Sword Qi forward, attacking enemies within 1,000 meters. Cooldown time: 6 seconds...]
[Armor: When equipped, boosts certain resistances... Attribute Resistance increased by 2,000 points, Abnormal Resistance increased by 2,000 points.]
An increase in Attribute Resistance essentially strengthened one’s constitution. For instance, when facing a Magician, the magic they cast was all attribute-based; the stronger the resistance, the less damage one received.
There were many kinds of Abnormal Resistance: poison, confusion, paralysis, weakness, bleeding... These were all considered abnormal states.
Jiang Chen stared at the resistances, stunned.
Damn.
Two thousand points of Attribute Resistance! What did that represent? It signified invincibility! Fire Attribute magic, Ice Attribute magic, or any other assorted nonsense—with such outrageous resistance, one simply wouldn’t take any damage.
Poison, confusion, paralysis, weakness—none of these would affect him anymore.
After equipping the Gold Equipment, Jiang Chen could fly for a hundred minutes at a time—practically unlimited flight.
Jiang Chen used the Flying Skill.
A pair of red wings appeared on Jiang Chen’s shoulders. Looking up at the sky, with a thought, he instantly soared into the air. Jiang Chen smiled.
Now I’m truly invincible.
Angelina looked up at Jiang Chen, her face full of envy.
If only I could fly too.
Jiang Chen flew down.
Angelina asked, "Is that the flight skill that comes with your equipment?"
"Yeah."
"That’s great! Too bad my equipment doesn’t have it."
"I’ve completed my First-stage assignment; now it’s time to help you. Let’s go to the Dark Zone of Sakura Alliance and kill Beckley."
"Isn’t he your friend?"
"Sacrifice a friend to the heavens, gain boundless power."
The two returned to the Dragon Zone Union and entered the Sakura Alliance through the Teleportation Array, walking brazenly down the streets.
The Heroes of Sakura Alliance obviously recognized Jiang Chen. They all couldn’t understand why he would dare to come to the Sakura Alliance at this time.
"Is that Jiang Chen, the Swordsman from Dragon Zone Union?"
"It’s him! That man sure is bold. He shamed our Sakura Alliance, and now he enters our territory so openly? Isn’t he afraid of being killed?"
"Damn it, what does this bastard think our Sakura Alliance is?"
"Let’s just team up and kill him."
"Forget it. The man is invincible. Remember, he’s the one who killed the Demon King. Never mind us; even a Second-stage Class would have a hard time killing him."
"Let’s go, let’s go."
Feeling the gazes around her, Angelina whispered, "Jiang Chen, maybe we should come back another time. I feel like they’re hostile towards us."
"It’s fine. We’re just here to complete a quest, not looking for trouble. Of course, if they’re looking for trouble, I won’t let them off."
After his First-stage advancement, Jiang Chen was no longer afraid of anyone.
Never mind a Hero; even if a Divine Envoy were to come, Jiang Chen would not fear them. Divine Envoys would also die.
Jiang Chen and Angelina headed towards the Dark Zone.
They coincidentally ran into Chiyoshima Hitomi, who had a gloomy expression. Jiang Chen chuckled, "The Divine Gods seem to have plenty of free time, to be seen wandering the streets."
"Jiang Chen, what do you mean by this?"
"I don’t understand a single word the Divine Gods are saying."
"You said that everyone in the Sakura Alliance is an idiot. Does that include Divine Envoys? Does it include me?"
"Er... You don’t count."
"This time, the higher-ups sent down a hundred powerhouses to join the Three Union Corps. Have you prepared your coffin yet?"
"Why start with such inauspicious words the moment we meet? I’m still looking forward to helping you with your Second-stage advancement," Jiang Chen sighed.
"There’s still one way: you completely leave our world. Then you won’t have to deal with any Legion battles."
Once a Legion battle commenced, if both sides agreed to it, they would enter a battlefield where only one side could survive. Of course, one could also avoid the Legion battle, for example, by fleeing this world.
In a world, teleportation was forced. No matter where you were, you’d be forcibly sent to the Legion battlefield. The only way to escape this forced teleportation was to enter a Different World.
If Jiang Chen were to flee, the Legion would automatically disband, and the World Will would judge him as having lost.
Flee? Jiang Chen would not flee.
Jiang Chen chuckled, "I think it would be more appropriate for you to say that to the Three Union Corps. All right, I need to go level up. Call me when you’re ready for your Second-stage advancement."
"I don’t understand, why are you helping me so much?"
Jiang Chen stopped in his tracks. "To free the entire world from Clan control, you are the most qualified candidate. I am helping you with that."
Chiyoshima Hitomi pondered.
Watching Jiang Chen’s retreating figure, Chiyoshima Hitomi mused, Perhaps only he can achieve it.
Break free from the control of the Ulysses Family?
You can never imagine how powerful the Ulysses Family truly is.
「Deep in the Dark Zone.」
Beckley looked at Jiang Chen and smiled, "My dear friend, what brings you to see me this time?"
"Beckley, I need a favor from you right now."
"Don’t worry, my friend, I will certainly satisfy you. Tell me, what do you need my help with?"
"I hope you’ll let me kill you."
Beckley was stunned.
Damn it...
Beckley was so angry he almost coughed up blood.
Swordsman, you inhuman bastard! Last time, I helped you increase your level, helped you kill the Divine Envoy of the Sakura Alliance, and now you want to turn around and kill me?
Beckley gripped his Scythe, his heart trembling.
One should never befriend a Hero! Heroes are despicable and shameless, especially this Swordsman before me—he’s the worst of them all!
Jiang Chen saw Beckley’s anger and chuckled, "Actually, I really don’t want to kill you, but there’s no other way. So, I’ll give you a chance: muster your grand army."
Beckley was furious. All that talk about mustering a grand army was nonsense! He knew Jiang Chen’s prowess; no one could get close to him. Even mustering a grand army would only serve to give him experience points.
And this bastard is still smiling?
Beckley also wanted to kill Jiang Chen, but his strength wouldn’t allow it; he simply couldn’t defeat Jiang Chen.
"This is fair, isn’t it?"
"Fair my ass!"
"Cursing isn’t nice, you know. This will absolutely be the last time I kill you. Next time, I definitely won’t make a move. I can promise you that."
"Promise my ass! Die!"
Enraged, Beckley stacked his buffs and swung his broad blade at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen casually swung his sword.
Blade Storm!
WHOOSH!
A flash of white light, and Beckley died instantly. The Demon King, slain with One Sword.
