Chapter 103: Chapter 26: New Entry [Dragon Knight]! So, Where Do I Get a Giant Dragon?
"The Demon Eye of Annihilation?" Su Xuan stared at the description of the Demon Eye he had just acquired, a look of disbelief on his face.
It was at this moment that he began to understand how the Night Witch had been able to evade the Witch Church’s pursuit while doing as she pleased in the Star Kingdom.
The synergy between the Demon Eye of Domination and the Demon Eye of Annihilation was simply overpowered!
"Mr. Su Xuan~ Are you all right?" Ivsha asked with concern.
Alice and the other members also watched him intently, terrified that something might have happened to their President.
"Don’t worry, I’m fine." Su Xuan waved his hand to reassure everyone. He slowly stood up, walked into the washroom, and cleaned the blood from the corner of his eye.
In the mirror, Su Xuan noticed his left eye seemed to be shining with a brilliant light, but it vanished in an instant.
’It seems the Demon Eye hasn’t caused any other changes to my body...’
Su Xuan’s expression soured slightly. This was likely why he couldn’t resonate with the night.
However, the Demon Eye’s effect had already activated, granting him a passive counter-ability.
It was just like when he had met Princess Vivian before; the Night Witch’s Original Magic Power had nullified the princess’s Demon Eye and caused her to suffer a backlash.
Now, Su Xuan had made that power his own and could control it at will.
’Feels pretty good!’
The corners of Su Xuan’s mouth curled up slightly. He found that he was adapting to this change better than he’d expected!
When he walked out of the washroom, Ivsha and the others were still waiting outside, looking unsettled.
"Relax, I’m really okay!"
Su Xuan said quickly, doing his best to calm his Guild members’ nerves.
"As long as you’re okay~"
Only after Su Xuan’s third reassurance did Ivsha and the others heave a sigh of relief, their faces breaking into relieved smiles.
Just then, Rosaline returned to the Guild.
She noticed everyone gathered around Su Xuan and asked quizzically, "Did something happen?"
"It’s nothing!" Su Xuan shook his head, then said, "You’re back just in time. We’re about to head out for a quest. Everyone’s going this time."
"As you command, Mr. Su Xuan (President)!"
...
A dark wind swept past. The surrounding environment was gloomy and terrifying, causing Su Xuan to frown slightly.
He looked around. Bizarrely shaped black trees were everywhere, and the soil underfoot reeked of a foul stench, making him wonder how a Witch could possibly live in a place like this!
Directly in front of him stood a small, quiet cottage shaped like a pumpkin.
"So this is the Witch’s House?"
Su Xuan muttered to himself, then prepared to lead Ivsha and the others into the cottage.
But before that, he had Rosaline scout ahead to check for any hidden dangers. After all, one had to be cautious when dealing with a Witch’s House.
"There’s a fluctuation of Magic Power here." The moment Rosaline stepped into the cottage, she felt a surge of Magic Power and immediately drew the Oath Sword from her waist.
At that exact moment, several illusory figures appeared around the Witch’s House.
A sharp laugh echoed along with them.
"AHAHAHAHA~ What are these little bugs~? Daring to cause trouble on my turf? You’re courting death!"
The illusory figures attacked Rosaline in unison as black Magic Power churned in the air.
"Fallen Moon!"
Without a moment’s hesitation, Rosaline’s sword tip erupted with a Sword Aura as clear and cold as moonlight.
In a single instant, the figures were pierced by the moonlight-sharp Sword Qi and dissolved into nothingness.
However, the sharp laughter immediately rang out again.
"Heh, I didn’t expect this little bug to have some strength. But this is just the beginning!"
As the voice faded, the black mist instantly transformed into a massive, ten-meter-long black panther, which lunged at Rosaline with the force of a thunderbolt.
[Demon Shadow Leopard (Elite)]
Level: 35 (0/14000)
Race: Witch’s Creation
Power: 448 / Agility: 420 / Magic Power: 300 / Physique: 525
Growth Value: 8 (All Attributes increase by 8 points with each Level up)
Skills: (Expand)
’Is that a Level 35 Demon?’
Su Xuan’s gaze sharpened. He hadn’t expected the Witch’s House to be guarded by a Level 35 Witch’s Creation.
"Ivsha, Alice, Fuli, Flora, keep your distance and attack with Remote Magic!" Su Xuan decisively issued commands to his Guild members.
"Understood!"
Ivsha and the others quickly moved into combat positions and began to gather their Magic Power.
Their Attributes weren’t high enough to face the Demon Shadow Leopard head-on; only Rosaline could fight it directly.
"ROAR!"
The Demon Shadow Leopard let out a deafening roar and lunged at them like a bolt of lightning.
"I’ll stop it!"
Rosaline stepped forward, her longsword unhesitatingly blocking the Demon Shadow Leopard’s fierce attack.
Although her All Attributes were lower than the Demon Shadow Leopard’s, the buffs from [Crystal Structure] and [White Rose and Oath Knight] allowed her to face it head-on, and even gain a slight advantage.
Besides, this was a righteous team battle!
"Don’t move!"
Alice acted decisively, summoning strands of Ice Silk Snow Thread that bound the Demon Shadow Leopard’s limbs like a spiderweb.
"ROAR!"
The Demon Shadow Leopard roared in fury, trying to break free, but the silken Ice Silk Snow Thread was as hard as steel!
Meanwhile, Ivsha and the Elf Sisters began to chant their Magic.
The phantom of a Holy Nun appeared above the Demon Shadow Leopard, surrounded by a ball of scorching Flame and dozens of Water Arrows formed from the Water Element.
"Fall!"
With the command, the three types of Magic slammed violently into the Demon Shadow Leopard.
Instantly!
A terrifying fluctuation of Magic rippled through the area!
The holy power, the Flame, and the Water Element tore the Demon Shadow Leopard’s body apart at the same time.
But as a Demon woven from immense Dark Magic, the Demon Shadow Leopard began to gradually repair its tattered body, relying on that same Dark Magic.
Seeing the Demon Shadow Leopard’s body about to reform, Rosaline swung her sword and unleashed ’Fallen Moon’.
In that instant, brilliant moonlight rained down like a torrential storm, completely piercing through the Demon Shadow Leopard’s coalescing form...
Under the combined assault of Rosaline and the others, the Demon Shadow Leopard was finally defeated, and the Dark Magic surrounding the Witch’s House dissipated with the wind.
As President, Su Xuan had witnessed the entire thrilling battle, and he gave his Guild members a perfect score!
Rosaline’s performance, in particular, was practically a bug in the system!
Her trait that let her ignore Elemental Magic allowed her to move like a fish in water during the battle. She could completely disregard the area-of-effect from her Guild members’ magic, acting as the main tank while dishing out maximum damage!
Ivsha and the other members’ Magic Attacks also proved crucial at key moments. Alice, in particular, used her Ice Silk Snow Thread to briefly control the Demon, buying the team precious time to attack.
It was safe to say that every single member of the Guild was an indispensable part of this victory.
’The six of us are just too awesome!’
Ahem~
After dealing with the Demon outside the Witch’s House, Su Xuan entered the cottage without ceremony and swept up all the treasures inside. He obtained the following items:
[Night Witch’s Letter (Quest Item)]
[Witch’s Hat (Rare): This is a Witch’s hat! Increases Magic Power by 5%.]
[Witch Gemstone (Rare): This gemstone contains pure Magic Power and is a rare material for crafting a High-Level Magic Staff.]
"Is that all?"
After looting the cottage, Su Xuan still felt it wasn’t quite enough.
However, the Night Witch’s letter seemed to be the cottage’s lifeblood. As soon as Su Xuan took it, the once-sturdy pumpkin cottage began to lose its vitality, decaying and collapsing.
Finally, it melted into a pool of mud, blending in with the gloomy surroundings.
"We should go."
Not wanting to spend another second there, Su Xuan quickly activated a Teleportation Array and returned to the Guild.
He was about to turn in the special quest, but before submitting it, he opened the envelope to read the letter’s contents.
[AHAHAHA! I HAVE CREATED LIFE!]
"..."
Su Xuan couldn’t help but frown. Every word of the letter was filled with madness and distortion. ’Are all Witches like this?’
*scared kitten face*
"Submit!"
[Special Quest: Betrayal from the Night! (Complete)]
[You have received one free trait reroll.]
[Congratulations on completing the special quest!]
[You have obtained an Adventurer Recruitment Scroll (Green).]
[Your Player Rating has increased to E+!]
[You have obtained a random Player Trait!]
Wait? Suddenly, Su Xuan noticed something wasn’t right.
He suddenly remembered that he couldn’t reroll his Player Traits, but this time he had received a *random* Player Trait...
’If I get an overpowered trait, wouldn’t that mean...!’
Just as Su Xuan was pondering this, a brightly shining trait suddenly appeared before his eyes.
[Dragon Knight]
"Oh? This looks like a promising trait!"
A look of delight appeared on Su Xuan’s face as he saw the random trait he’d received.
Just from the name alone, the Dragon Knight trait seemed incredibly powerful!
[Dragon Knight: Taming Probability for Giant Dragons +20%. Special Attack against Giant Dragons +100%. Provides a 50% combat power boost to a tamed Giant Dragon. (So you wanna be a Dragon Knight, huh?)]
"..."
"Huh?"
Su Xuan frowned slightly. He couldn’t shake the feeling that this trait was a little... unprofessional...
Besides, now that he had the [Dragon Knight] trait, where exactly was he supposed to pick up his Giant Dragon?
’A Giant Dragon... The Land of the Fallen?’
Oh well~
He was still satisfied with the trait!
’Time to recruit a new Adventurer!’
As he thought, Su Xuan took out the Recruitment Scroll he had just obtained, ready to welcome a new Adventurer.
Just as he was about to recruit a new member, the portrait of the Saintess stored in his inventory suddenly began to glow with a dazzling light.
At the same time, a mysterious option appeared in his vision.
[Consume one Recruitment Scroll to grant the [Saintess] trait two Authorities? This will also add an extra personality.]
"Add... a personality?"
"???"
[Currently available Authorities: Chastity, Diligence, Charity, Humility, Fortitude, Temperance, Justice, Pride, Envy, Wrath, Sloth, Greed, Gluttony, Lust...]
[Warning! The choice of Authorities will directly affect the creation of the personality. Please consider your choice carefully!]
