Chapter 437: Chapter 244: Dragon Blood Blade, Legendary Grade Dragon Sword Masamune_1
[You have encountered the ’Fire Worshiping Heartless People Ninja Master’!]
[The ’Fire Worshiping Heartless People Ninja Master’ looks at you, hidden under the ’Dark Night Enchantress Cloak’, his gaze seems to penetrate the cloak’s segregation.]
[It seems like he discovered something, his eyes widened in anger, about to scold, but he can’t help a violent cough.]
[You know in your heart that this is because your master is so wrought with anger, it triggered a relapse of his old disease.]
[After a while, he stopped coughing. You explain to your master that, indeed, you have been defending the dojo at Tisi Island. However, upon getting the news that your senior sister needed help, you became restless day and night, could not eat or drink, and just wanted to rush to the Wuzhi Shrine to rescue your senior sister with your master...]
[Upon hearing your words, the ’Ninja Master’ without any expressions, asked if that’s why you quietly went to the back mountain and took the ’Golden Roc Fierce Bird Claw’?]
Lin Xun’s ninja shell is still equipped with this weapon, he has no idea how the Ninja Master managed to see through the segregation of the cloak.
[He didn’t wait for your answer and continued slowly, he knows you have always admired Purple Leaf, but why would he rather drag his sick body to the rescue, and yet, refuses to bring along his most loyal student?]
[The ’Golden Roc Fierce Bird Claw’ was his handiest weapon when he was young, but why he always hid it in the back mountain and refused to pass it on to you?]
[You understand that you are not strong enough, and have not been able to pass the Top Ninja assessment. Your ninja skills have yet to be perfected, using a dangerous weapon like the ’Golden Roc Fierce Bird Claw’ is at a disadvantage compared to using a sleeve sword and ordinary ninja knife.]
[With your current strength, going to rescue your ’senior sister’ would only hinder your master.]
[The elderly and hoarse voice filled with anger, since you understand, why do you still come here? Have you forgotten, the most important thing for a ninja, is to ’endure’?]
[Although your ninja master’s scolding is uncompromising, you understand the temperament of your master. He simply wants you to go back to Tisi Island and not throw your life away here. His care and protection are all hidden within his stern words.]
[What should you do now?]
[1. Call out boldly, ’Old man, explode those gold coins!’ Kill the Ninja Master on the spot, loot his equipment, and seize his shell all at once.]
[2. Respond weakly, ’Okay, master, I will go back to guard home’ and leave the inn obediently, returning to Tisi Island Ninja dojo.]
[3. Smile proudly, ’Master, we have not see each other only for three days, yet you will have to admire me anew.’ You are no longer that vulnerable medium ninja.]
Lin Xun had a smirk on his face.
The reward for the hidden plot line has not yet been received, so choosing the first or second choice is clearly not a good idea.
As for the third option, how to demonstrate strength with the medium ninja shell?
If Lin Xun switched shells in front of his Ninja Master, he might directly encounter a sudden end, and possibly even a bad end or dead end.
"I should have changed to the chairman’s shell to face Ninja Master, so maybe there will be other storyline triggers."
The Ninja Master’s sudden appearance didn’t give him any time to prepare. It’s now unrealistic to consider switching other shells.
Lin Xun scratched his head, deep in thought.
Suddenly, his eyes gleam, and he decisively chooses the third option.
[With a serious look and stern face, you tell your master that you are not the weak person you used to be, and you are now quite confident that you can rescue your ’senior sister’.]
[The ’Ninja Master’ looks at you suspiciously, thinking you are still clinging to the vain hope of rescuing Moon City Purple Leaf.]
[Apostle, please display your powerful strength to dispel your master’s doubts...]
Lin Xun smiled slightly, opened his inventory, and clicked on an item.
[You pull out the ’Refined Copper Sand Hammer’ and ring it slowly...]
[The ’Combat Angel - Valkyrie’ wearing armor and carrying a longbow, steps out of the void]
[She takes down her golden longbow from behind, pulls out an arrow, resting it on the bow, vaguely targeting ’the Ninja Master’.]
[Ninja Master, with a shocked face, asked you, how did you manage to receive such a powerful Shikigami?]
[You signaled Valkyrie to lower her guard and not to attack. You tell your master, on your way to ’Wuzhi Shrine’, you luckily met a ’foreign mage’. Both of you hit it off immediately, regretting not having met earlier.]
[This foreign mage sees you as a close friend, your relationship is so good that it is only a bit short of sleeping toe-to-toe each night.]
[The generous foreign mage presented to you, the Magical Artifact required to summon the Shikigami for self-defense not expecting anything in return. Although you wanted to reciprocate, you didn’t have anything worth offering.]
[Nevertheless, with this powerful Shikigami’s help, rescuing your senior sister will not be a problem.]
[You are full of confidence, caught unawares by the ’Ninja Master’ slowly shaking his head, explaining to you, the power within the ’Wuzhi Shrine’ is not to be underestimated.]
[This Shikigami you have acquired is indeed strong, but compared to the hidden power in the ’Wuzhi Shrine’, it is like a witch meeting a warlock.]
[In recent days, he has been exploring the power of the Divine Domain near the shrine’s gate, and found that its power far surpasses that of larger ones.]
[The priests in the shrine, as long as they stay in it, will receive a terrifying increase in their strength. To save Purple Leaf, even he sees only thirty percent chance of success.]
[With your Shikigami now, the probability is at most forty percent... If this Shikigami could act independently and not be under your control, perhaps the chances could be increased to fifty percent.]
"...So basically, I’m just holding you back?"
The Ninja Master clearly wanted the Valkyrie to join him in the rescue mission, and didn’t want Lin Xun, a mere Medium Ninja, to get in the way.
How could this be, although the Valkyrie can act independently from her master, a fifty percent chance is still too risky.
If the rescue failed, the Valkyrie could revive, but where could one find another power-packed character like the Ninja Master?
[The ’Ninja Master’ suddenly thought of something and asked you hurriedly. Since the Shikigami that he had casually given you was so powerful, then your ’Foreign Magician’ must be equally strong.]
[If you could get your good friend to help, he would definitely be able to rescue Moon City Purple Leaf.]
"Well, if my Foreign Magician friend were to fight the Valkyrie, it would be hard to say who would win"
[The ’Ninja Master’ saw your hesitation and thought that you were worried about how to repay him, too embarrassed to ask for help.]
[He laughed it off and promised that if your good friend would lend a helping hand, he would gift his ’Dragon Sword Masamune’ as a token of gratitude. How about that?]
[Upon saying this, the Master unsheathed his sword, which filled your vision with a flash of bright sword light accompanied by an echoing dragon roar.]
[Dragon Sword Masamune (Legendary Grade Weapon): A strange Ninja katana said to have slain a real dragon in legends. It has the look of a Tachi with a blade longer than usual and a slightly straighter curvature.]
[At the end of the sword handle is embedded a mysterious gem called the ’Dragon’s Jade’, which elevates the quality of this weapon a notch higher.]
[Using this weapon, your attacking power in stealth mode (invisibility) would increase dramatically.]
[Weapon Effect - Dragon Blood Blade: This weapon possesses the ability to break blades and pierce armour of lower-tier equipment (weapons, armour). It has a high chance of damaging the opponent’s equipment. The greater the difference in quality, the higher the chance of destruction.]
"Damn! Impressive. Is this the legendary ’one hit explosion’?"
Lin Xun couldn’t help but think about the explosion settings in various video games.
Not only is the weapon effect geared towards armour, but it also has similar destructive effects on other weapons.
In both PvP and PvE, it’s an absolute magical artifact.
This Legendary Grade Weapon was obviously a reward one can only get after rescuing the ’Big Sister’.
It shows that the journey to the ’Wuzhi Shrine’ will be extremely challenging.
[Still looking troubled, you explain to the master that it’s not that you’re too embarrassed to ask for help, and for Big Sister you could even sacrifice your life, so what’s a little shame?]
[It’s just that your friend ’Foreign Magician’ is currently visiting the Yin Yang Master’s headquarters at the invitation of the Yiye Palace and is exchanging magic knowledge between the two countries.]
[To be more precise, he has been detained by the deputy head of the Yiye Palace, his personal freedom has been restricted.]
[The ’Foreign Magician’ came to Sakura fall all alone and is now being held captive by Yiye Palace.]
[On the one hand, it’s not appropriate to resist, taking into account the relations between the two countries. On the other hand, he is trapped and incapable of escaping, unable to fight off a wolf pack with his two fists.]
[Therefore, to ask for his help, we would first need to kill the Debuty Head of Yiye Palace and rescue him...]
[The ’Ninja Master’ chuckled coldly. Those Yin Yang Masters, who borrowed power from outside, were really weak without their Shikigami. With them, he could overthrow Yiye Palace overnight.]
[However, it’s really daring of the Debuty Head of Yiye Palace to imprison my favourite student’s friend. Such a bunch of losers, they have no idea how to spell death!]
Lin Xun stroked his chin.
The Ninja Master was not boasting.
A top-level assassin fighting against a squishy summoner, perhaps easier than fighting against a Mage.
Now, it’s a two birds with one stone situation. Not only can we defeat the Debuty Head, but we can also unite with the Ninja Master to rescue the Big Sister. It’s perfect!
[You asked the Master if there’s enough time to go to Yiye Palace, taking into account that Big Sister is still on the mountain and according to what you’ve heard, the ’Wuzhi Shrine’ is going to hold the ’Nesting Festival’ tomorrow...]
[The ’Ninja Master’ reassured you to calm down. Moon City Purple Leaf is the third shrine maiden, and before the third day of the sacrificial ceremony, not only will ’Wuzhi Shrine’ not harm her in the least, they would actually protect her.]
[What we need to pay attention to is what Purple Leaf mentioned in her letter... The issue of offering herself as wife to the ’Demon God’ is quite strange, and I’m afraid ’Wuzhi Shrine’ is not as simple as we thought.]
[You nodded, indicating that you wanted to go with the Master to rescue your friend. Surprisingly, the Master decisively refused.]
[The ’Ninja Master’s’ words brook no arguments. He would go to Yiye Palace on his own, and you should stay here.]
[You should quietly wait here for him to bring back your good friend. Your presence would only make it difficult for him to act freely.]
[After saying that, the ’Ninja Master’ quietly turned around and his figure vanished.]
[Only you and a young woman in a coma were left in the guest room.]
[What is your next move?]
Isn’t it obvious?
Of course, rush back to the ’Yiye Palace’.
Switch to the Mage’s shell and join the Ninja Master in the battle against the Debuty Head!
