Chapter 206: The Armor’s Life
The golden armor provided Wei Huo with two ways to enter the fourth level. One was to find the portal, and the golden armor was very familiar with this place. It could take him directly to the portal. The other was to kill his way up. Although Legendary-level creatures were strong, they could be used to train oneself.
Wei Huo flew into the sky.
The golden armor thought about it for a moment before flying into the sky and following Wei Huo. As it flew, it said, “I’ll go with you. When we get out of Kunlun, introduce me to a missy!”
Wei Huo could not be bothered. Why are you thinking about girls when you’re male armor? Can a missy even wear you?
Wei Huo flew into the sky and three giant Golden Eagles flew over from afar. Each of them was as big as a small mountain. They were three Epic-ranked giant eagles. Wei Huo did not even look at them. He took out his broken bronze sword and slashed. Unparalleled Sword Qi flew out and split the three Golden Eagles into two.
Wei Huo put the soul gem in his pocket and prepared to continue flying. However, a humanoid demon gradually descended from the sky. It had a pair of golden wings and an eagle’s head. The rest of its body was no different from a human’s.
The half-demon gradually descended and spread its wings, emitting a golden light.
The eagle demon spread its wings and a golden light appeared. It charged toward Wei Huo at an extremely fast speed. Wei Huo barely had time to block it with the broken bronze sword. However, the light was so extremely powerful that it knocked Wei Huo down from the sky.
The golden armor said, “You have to be careful. This Golden Eagle is an early-stage Legendary creature. It possesses a disposable Dharma treasure. The Dharma treasure carries a rule called ‘Speed of Light Cannot Be Surpassed’. No matter how fast you are, you can’t dodge its attack!”
Wei Huo scrunched his brows. He had not put on the peach tree battle armor, as he wanted to use it to train. This was a rare opportunity. The other party was not a Legendary creature that had been strengthened by the system. It was just like the rocs. It had lived for thousands of years and was a real Legendary creature. Its strength could thus not be underestimated.
Wei Huo flew into the sky again. The golden eagle spread its wings again and three golden lights descended from the sky. Wei Huo lifted his broken bronze sword but only blocked one golden light. The other two golden lights penetrated his body.
Blood splattered everywhere, and Wei Huo’s expression turned serious.
The demon’s attack speed was too fast. It was approaching the speed of light and could therefore not be dodged.
The golden armor said, “I suggest that you put on your one-use nomological armor. No matter how strong a Legendary creature is, it can’t be a match for a nomological creation, even if it is a one-use nomological creation.”
Wei Huo did not listen. Instead, he took out his Cold Light Sword and prepared to attack the Golden Eagle.
The golden armor, which was a little surprised, asked, “What material did you use to forge this sword? Why have I never seen it before? Besides, the material at the tip of the sword is obviously of a higher level. It doesn’t seem like a product of this planet!”
Wei Huo said, “You seem to know a lot about refining materials.”
The golden armor did not hide anything. It had decided to leave Kunlun Mountain with Wei Huo. It had stayed in the Mystic Realm for too long.
The golden armor said, “A long time ago, I was just ordinary Kunlun guard armor. This armor was manufactured in batches. I still remember the armor forgers in the workshops hitting me repeatedly. At the time, I did not feel anything special because I did not have any intelligence. However, now that I have intelligence, I feel that my life has been really tough!”
The golden armor sank into its memories. “My life as an armor was not all smooth sailing. From the mining of ores to the smelting of metal and the forging toward the end, I was repeatedly hammered and quenched until I was worn by a Kunlun warrior.”
Wei Huo listened quietly. The Golden Eagle in the sky had no intention of attacking either.
The golden armor was filled with emotions. “Initially, my plan was to become a sword or a spear. However, I had no choice. Weak me could not resist and could only accept this silently. I did not have a sharp sword blade, nor was I as thick as a shield. I could not drink the enemy’s blood like a spear either. I was reluctantly built. However, this was only the beginning of some difficult times.”
The third level seemed to have quietened down. This was a result of a Legendary-level existence’s reflections. It was lamenting its life as a set of armor. It regretted not becoming a sword or a spear, but there was nothing it could do. It had no say about its future.
The golden armor lifted its head. Although it only had an upper body, it still had a helmet. The helmet looked at the sky like someone really looking at the sky.
“When I was being hammered repeatedly, my companion told me that after I survived this ordeal and completely took shape, I would be able to find a good master upon leaving the forging factory. Our masters would wear us to battle and we could accomplish meritorious achievements. If we were to sacrifice ourselves, it would be a supreme honor. If we were lucky enough to survive, we could be placed in the ancestral hall and hung on armor racks. Then, we would be passed down for centuries to be worshiped by future generations. However, when we really left and graduated, I realized that life outside was harder than life in the forging factory.”
The golden armor was very unconvinced. “My master was a drunkard and a gambler. Although he was a Kunlun Warrior, he didn’t look like a warrior at all. To him, life was just a waste. He got by every day, waiting for the day when war broke out. He was killed without any suspense. I thought I would be buried in the soil and eventually rot. I didn’t expect the enemy to pick me up and put me on like a Kunlun Warrior before sneaking into Kunlun Mountain.”
At this point, the golden armor’s tone was filled with helplessness and sorrow. “I spent the second half of my life fighting against my comrades. I once saw my comrades being cut in half. My long-lost swords and spears tore my body apart coldly. They attacked me coolly and mercilessly. The sets of armor that were forged with me cursed me for being a traitor. However, they did not know that I had no choice.”
The golden armor was already choking with tears when it said this. Its life had been full of ups and downs, but it had been controlled for its entirety. It had no freedom.
Wei Huo was emotional. Although he could not see the golden armor’s expression, its words were filled with emotion.
Every Epic creature had its own story. Every Legendary creature had firmly chosen its own path.
The golden armor’s life was not inferior to anyone’s. It was no wonder it had become Legendary.
The golden armor’s story had yet to end, but at that moment, the eagle demon slowly interrupted it. “You’ve told this story many times, but no matter how many times you tell it, I will not let you leave this place. Give up!”
The golden armor’s tone suddenly changed. “Let me go? How naive. I have a ferocious person who destroyed half of the Peach Blossom Array with me. As long as I follow him, it will be easy for me to leave this place. Do I even need you to let me go? Formidable guy! Attack and f*ck up this birdman!”
The golden armor’s tone was filled with deep resentment. It seemed like it was holding a deep grudge against the Golden Eagle.
Wei Huo did not say anything. Instead, he took out his Cold Light Sword. He held the broken bronze sword in his left hand and the Cold Light Sword in his right hand. He then charged toward the Golden Eagle.
The golden armor was confused. It then shouted, “Wear your peach tree armor! The enemy’s attack is 100% accurate. Your armor is 100% reflective. It will definitely beat the hell out of it.”
