Chapter 399: Chapter 228: Slaying Asura, Invitation from Yiye Palace_3
[The remaining few warriors have fled, and soon met their end under the monsters’ feet due to the ’guidance’ of the Valkyrie.]
[Seeing that the warriors have been wiped out, the Valkyrie flaps her wings, planning to fly toward the remaining Yin Yang Masters...]
[Your spell chant is complete...]
[Brilliant stars once again engulf ’Fugang City’, swallowing the monstrous figure of the beast!]
[When the starlight fades, a headless giant body thunders to the ground!]
[You have defeated the ’Extreme Evil Asura’, and your experience points have massively increased!]
[The power inside the ’Shell’ begins to boil, ’Direct View Association Chairman Seekers’ Shell’ level rises, current Shell level: 60]
[You have obtained ’Asura’s Special Spirituality’ *1]
[You have obtained ’Complete Forging Crystal Block’ *1]
[You have obtained ’Asura’s Prayer Bead’ (Material)]
[You have obtained ’Extreme Evil Core’ (Special Item)]
[You have obtained ’Phantasmal Sumeru Mustard Seed’ (Legendary Grade Item)]
[You look at the monstrous headless body...]
[The shell of ’Extreme Evil Asura’: A terrifying monster created by a trace of ’Malice’ aura leaked by a powerful god. The original body is a fusion of a martially proficient ’Shishan Society’ Chief and a devoted ’Shishan Society’ God Master. Limited by the strength of two human shells, Asura could not display all the might of the divine ’Malice’. It died from head blasting caused by some powerful magic.]
Lin Xun took a deep breath.
Finally, he has taken down this BOSS.
It was only with the numerous warriors and Yin Yang Masters acting as meat shields and damage dealers that they managed to defeat the BOSS in front of them.
He had held back during the fight.
If things hadn’t gone according to plan, and the dog-eat-dog tactic did not succeed, he could’ve played his last card.
That is, to summon the monster form of the ’Ship Wreck Mage’, and unite with their own big shots to push the BOSS.
But if the ’Ship Wreck Mage’ accidentally dies during the battle, it would be like losing one strong member of the faction. He might even miss some pledge tasks and subplot events.
So unless absolutely necessary, Lin Xun would not summon this powerful helper.
As usual, it was now time to check the spoils of battle.
However, although the BOSS was defeated, the plot event had not yet ended...
[The crowd surrounds you, not concerned about your many eyes, because you were the one who defeated the giant monster, and saved their lives.]
[The crowd kneels down, worshiping you. They are guessing that you are an immortal sent by the ’Ancient Heavenly Warden’ to save them from the calamity...]
[A few Yin Yang Masters squeeze into the crowd, led by the one holding the purification wand.]
[He is covered in dust, and staggers slightly, obviously wounded.]
[You have found the ’High-ranking Fire Worshiping Yin Yang Master’!]
[He pushes the crowd aside, strides to your front, his eyes flickering as he asks who you are and why you look so... why you can cast magic he has never seen before, and why you suddenly appeared to help fight the monster?]
[You smile slightly, claiming to be a traveler from a far-off land. You figured out through star divination that Sakura Fall would face a catastrophe today, and if ignored, it might cause widespread calamity.]
[Although you also worship the ’Ancient Heavenly Warden’, your foreign doctrine is different from Sakura Fall. It emphasizes compassion and saving the world, so you crossed thousands of miles to come to Sakura Fall to eliminate the monster.]
[As for the magic phenomenon, it’s only natural that magic is different in a foreign country.]
[The high-ranking Yin Yang Master of Yiye Palace heard that you traveled thousands of miles and crossed vast oceans, just to come to Sakura Fall to save the people, and was momentarily filled with respect.]
[He bowed deeply to you, declaring loudly that he is a Yin Yang Master from ’Yiye Palace’ and a local mage of Sakura Fall. He was deeply touched by your noble deed and sincerely invites you to visit ’Yiye Palace’ in neighboring Thousand Hui City.]
[Would you like to follow the ’Fire Worshiping high-ranking Yin Yang Master’ to the ’Yiye Palace’ in ’Thousand Hui City’?]
"Interesting, is this an invitation to step into the enemy’s headquarters?"
[Noticing the hesitation on your face, he feared you’d refuse, quickly explained that the magic you use as a foreign mage was unheard of and greatly different from the local arts of Sakura Fall. Wouldn’t it be nice to visit ’Yiye Palace,’ exchange ideas, learn from each other’s strengths and weaknesses?]
"No wonder this Yin Yang Master, who previously didn’t care about the life or death of ordinary people, suddenly talks about being moved by righteousness and wants to invite me to ’Yiye Palace’. They’re interested in the leader’s skills."
Lin Xun was about to press ’yes’ after a short consideration, but the game text showed something unexpected...
[A heavily wounded warrior clumsily makes his way into the crowd. Pale-faced, he coughs up blood, saying the foreign mage should rather follow him to meet the general than go to Yiye Palace...]
[As he spoke, he seemed unable to support himself due to his injuries and fell to the ground.]
[You have encountered a ’Fire Worshiping Chief Warrior’!]
"... Now I understand what they mean by a new monk recites the scriptures well."
As a ’Remnant of Evil’, he suddenly became a desirable asset.
[Seeing this, the Yin Yang Master smiles lightly, summons a warhorse, and carefully places the injured Chief Warrior on it.]
[He pulls out a charm, forms hand seals, and speaks an incantation. With a surge of magical power, he forces the surrounding crowd to disperse.]
[The Yin Yang Master adjusts his black hat, continuing to persuade you that, as a foreign mage, you should consider his words as you walk. After all, even if you want to see the general at the shogunate, you have to pass through ’Thousand Hui City.’]
[Moreover, the Chief Warrior is seriously injured. If he is not treated in time, I am afraid he will be in danger. There are no major shrines in Fugang, so you need to go to ’Thousand Hui City’ for treatment.]
[After contemplating for a long time, you slowly nod.]
[The Yin Yang Master leaves a few people to investigate the origin of the monster, and to handle the aftermath. He then brings another horse for you to ride along.]
[Everyone in the group is a Yin Yang Master. The only warrior in the team is the severely injured ’Chief Warrior’.]
[You ride the warhorse, and proceed on your journey.]
[In no time at all, the group leaves Fugang City and enters the wilderness.]
[The ’Fire Worshiping high-ranking Yin Yang Master’ looks around and, seeing no one else around, forms seals and mutters incantations.]
[A yellow charm burns to ashes, a ball of black Inferno materializes out of thin air.]
[You change your expression, ready to raise your magic staff and put up the ’Knowledge Grating’ to protect yourself. But you see the Inferno’s attack isn’t aimed at you.]
[The Inferno engulfs the barely alive ’Chief Warrior.’ Amid his screams, both man and horse are burned to ashes.]
[The ’Fire Worshiping high-ranking Yin Yang Master’ gives a light laugh and announces loudly. The Chief Warrior, under the general’s banner, was severely injured in a battle with a monster. He was escorting him to ’Thousand Hui City’ for treatment, but unfortunately, the Chief Warrior’s injuries were too severe, and he tragically died en route.]
[He looks at you again, and confidently says, "Foreign mage, now nobody dares to stop your way to ’Yiye Palace’. You don’t need to hesitate any more.]
[Please rest assured, he dares to swear to the ’Ancient Heavenly Warden,’ that ’Yiye Palace’ will treat you with utmost hospitality.]
Lin Xun narrows his eyes.
It seems the local forces in Sakura fall are not monolithic.
He was once chased by the enemy of Yiye Palace and is now a most honored guest. It’s interesting if you think about it.
[You sigh deeply, pretending to pray for the dead ’Chief Warrior’, then continue on your way.]
[Your destination is the mega city surrounding the Sakura Fall capital - ’Thousand Hui City’!]
