Chapter 171: Chapter 171, Accepting the First-stage Assignment_1
[1. Slay Demon King Beckley]
[2. Slay Demon King Antuvanette]
[3. Slay Demon King Onienes]
An Siqi looked at the three options. "The first Demon King is in the Dark Area of Sakura Alliance. You have already slain him once, so it should be the simplest for you."
"The third Demon King is in the Nordic European Union, a Dark Summoner and also a Dragon Knight, capable of flying in the skies, the hardest to deal with."
"The second Demon King, in our Dragon Zone Union, is a Dark Priest capable of casting powerful Magic."
"I suggest you pick the first one. Beckley is the one you’re most familiar with."
Faced with three choices, the first one was undoubtedly the best.
Jiang Chen’s rapid Level progression owed much to Beckley. Although not quite friends, they weren’t exactly enemies either. Oh well, might as well cut the guy some slack.
The third option, a Dragon Knight type Summoner capable of Flight, wouldn’t be so easy to kill. Jiang Chen found Dragon Knights especially troublesome—those capable of soaring through the sky.
And this Demon King was also a Summoner; he definitely wouldn’t engage in close combat with Jiang Chen.
As for the second Demon King, this one is interesting—a Dark Priest. Being a Support type, it probably didn’t have much Offensive Power. Angelina was also a Ritualist; maybe it would even drop Gold Equipment! Angelina could wear it after her First-stage advancement.
Jiang Chen chose the second option.
[Hell-level Difficulty: Slay the Demon King Antuvanette]
[Time: Unlimited]
[Location: Inside the Wild Boar Crevice of the Dragon Zone Union.]
[Mission: Cannot be abandoned, cannot be changed.]
Once the assignment was accepted, if not completed, one could never Level up again; one could only continue leveling up after completing the First-stage assignment.
Many chose very difficult missions for the sake of upgrading their Four Dimensions but couldn’t complete them and were therefore unable to reach the First-stage for life. Hell-level Missions were the best, offering 200 points in Attribute Four Dimensions.
[First-stage Assignment: Demon King Antuvanette 0/1]
"Now that you’ve taken on the First-stage assignment, as soon as it’s completed, you’ll immediately succeed in the class change," An Siqi said. "Come back to me afterward, and I’ll give you a First-stage Skill Book."
Jiang Chen smiled. "How about you give it to me now?"
An Siqi rolled her eyes at him. In your dreams.
Jiang Chen left with Angelina, looking back and smiling. "Divine Gods, if I ever reach the Third-stage, you can still call on me for help. I’m someone who cherishes old ties."
They walked out of the Swordsman Transformation Temple.
"Little Chen, where are we heading now?" Angelina asked.
"Of course, to the Ritualist Class-Change Temple," Jiang Chen replied. "Priests and Ritualists both change classes there. You should go for Hell-level Difficulty too; see which Demon King it is. If it’s the same one, we can save ourselves a lot of detours and team up to complete it."
Angelina nodded. "Yeah, that would be best. Let’s go together to slay Demon King Antuvanette."
Many temples stood tall in Spirit City.
Each occupation had a Divine Envoy whose task was to aid humans in class changes, upgrading their combat powers. They, like the other Divine Envoys, didn’t participate in Legions and didn’t take part in wars.
Of course, they were also immune to 99% of damage.
That was also why Divine Envoys were so respected.
With Set Attributes and immunity to damage, even Heroes would have to bow their heads; none could resist in the presence of a Divine Envoy.
The two quickly arrived at the Priest Transformation Temple.
At the entrance, Angelina submitted her materials. Soon, a young girl emerged from a room and stood behind a statue. Jiang Chen looked up at the towering statue.
The statue wore a smile, and Jiang Chen was stunned; it bore a striking resemblance to Angelina...
A thought suddenly popped into Jiang Chen’s mind: Could Angelina be a God?
Impossible.
The thought startled Jiang Chen, and he quickly dismissed it. If Angelina were a God, how could she be so weak, having no defensive power at all? Are Gods that weak? Maybe she’s the descendant of a God! After all, Angelina was unlike any other Priest, possessing two heaven-defying team blessings, Divine Blessing, and Grace of All-Gods...
Jiang Chen chuckled, feeling pretty pleased with himself. I have a connection to a God. As for that mother-in-law, please bear with me in the future... I’ll bring you some local specialties next time—potatoes, eggplants, salted duck eggs, cucumbers... Not only can you eat them, but they can also be useful!
Just then, the eyes on the God statue moved, looking at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen was startled. Fuck me. You couldn’t have guessed what I was thinking, right? Dear mother-in-law, cucumbers are for eating, very sweet...
Jiang Chen blinked and looked at the God statue again, only to find that it had always been like that; there was no change. My goodness, was it an illusion? It must be. How could a God statue come to life?
After accepting the mission, Angelina saw Jiang Chen staring at the statue, his expression changing wildly. Angelina turned back to the statue. "What’s the matter?"
"Nothing," Jiang Chen said. "Just felt like the statue was looking at me."
"Oh come on, you think you’re that handsome?"
"Am I not handsome?"
"Don’t blaspheme God. God will know."
"I’m not blaspheming. I am a Hero from the Alliance of All-Gods; I respect God a lot."
"Your face is changing too fast. You must be thinking something else."
"Little Na, haven’t you noticed? This God statue kind of looks like you."
Angelina stopped in her tracks, "Oh, so that’s what you were getting at... fantasizing about me?"
Jiang Chen rolled his eyes. Do I really need to do that? A hand is enough... no wait, a bird is enough...
"By the way, what’s your mission?"
Angelina shook her head, "Different from yours."
"Doesn’t matter. Which Demon King is it?"
"Beckley."
Friends offer sacrifices to the sky, their magical power is boundless...
"When will you complete the mission?" Angelina asked.
"Tomorrow, I suppose," Jiang Chen replied. "It’s already late today. I need to rest."
"Okay."
「Inside the hotel.」
Time for the ’little brother’ to report for duty...
「...」
Jiang Chen lay on the bed smoking, looking at the ceiling. He recalled Dean Zhang Wencheng’s expression when he saw Angelina. He had initially thought Zhang Wencheng was just taken by Angelina’s beauty, but now it seemed things were not that simple.
The tavern owner had also looked astonished when he saw Angelina.
Jiang Chen now understood why! It was because Angelina resembled the Ritualist God statue so much—about seventy percent similarity. Could it be a coincidence? Obviously not.
There are many people in the world who look alike, even identically. But Angelina was different, possessing two heaven-defying Skills that other Ritualists didn’t have, which indicated that she was inherently special. Perhaps she really could be a descendant of a God.
Angelina climbed out from under the covers, looked at Jiang Chen, who was lost in thought, and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"I’m thinking how much you resemble the God statue!"
"You really are a pervert."
Jiang Chen got annoyed. I’m a pervert just for saying that? Little lady, you’re getting bolder and bolder!
"In your mind, you’re probably thinking, ’The God statue looks a lot like me, and then you’d think of the woman beneath you as a God, treating me as one. You would feel a sense of satisfaction, a sense of conquest.’"
Damn... This girl’s analysis makes some sense. Who would have thought of that?
