Chapter 446: Chapter 248: Legendary Grade Shell, Rejuvenation_1
[With the death of the ’Fire Worshiping Yiye Palace’s Master’, the giant protective barrier that enveloped the palace gradually dissipated.]
[Under the silvery moonlight, the palace buildings, due to fierce battles, had turned into nothing but ruins. At the end of the ruins where the city gate stood, fires were alight, and voices echoed, indicating the approach of a large number of troops...]
[The enormous body of the ’Shipwreck Mage’ shrunk in size, and using the ’Art of Transformation’, it took the form of a frail, old man.]
[However, the old man’s body was riddled with injuries, his garments soaked in fresh blood.]
[The ’Shipwreck Mage’ seemed to want to say something to you, but its frail figure gradually became transparent and disappeared.]
[You knew it was because the summoning time limit had reached its end and the ’Shipwreck Mage’, having expended its energy, had to return to the Dragon Pond Temple.]
[The ’Ninja Master’, aided by the ’Valkyrie’, kept coughing, blood from his mouth had already spilled over his clothing.]
[Leaning on the Dragon Sword, he attempted to lead you away but collapsed unconscious.]
[Ninjas are inherently extreme, favoring strong attacks over weak defenses. The ’Ninja Master’ had taken fatal hits from the Shikigami for the ’Shipwreck Mage’, which had left him severely wounded, with old injuries flaring up.]
[Throughout the previous fierce battle, the ’Ninja Master’ had forced himself to hold on. But now, as the fight was over, he could no longer hold on and fell into unconsciousness...]
Lin Xun was aware that the battle in the palace was far too intense, and the massive ’Guardian of the Ten Directions’ Absolute Realm had been very noticeable.
Even though it was late at night, the city defense troop were neither blind nor deaf. Their late arrival into the palace was most likely due to the barrier.
Lin Xun recalled the Valkyrie and decisively selected the possession option, taking control of the palace lord’s shell!
[You have possessed the shell of the ’Fire Worshiping Yiye Palace’s Master’!]
[Do you want to immediately flee with the ’Ninja Master’, or would you stay here?]
Of course, he had to choose the former.
Now that he had the identity of the Yiye Palace’s Master, he might be able to rely on it to stay unscathed, but the ’Ninja Master’, being the instigator of the battle, would most likely be arrested by the city defense troop.
If they wanted to avoid conflict, it would be wiser to leave first.
[You have possessed the ’Fire Worshiping Carefree Medium Ninja’!]
[You carry the ’Ninja Master’ on your back, and under the cover of darkness, you flee towards the outskirts of the palace...]
[...]
The escape didn’t go as smoothly as Lin Xun had hoped for.
The city walls outside the palace had been surrounded by the city defense troop. It was so tightly guarded that not a drop of water could leak out.
Lin Xun scurried to several spots around the city wall before finding a small gap.
As he was carrying another person, he couldn’t use his ninja’s invisibility for escape, and was nearly discovered by the patrolling warriors.
Luckily, even though the Medium Ninja’s power was weak, he hadn’t lost his special ninja skills.
All along the way, hiding and seeking, using the shadows to disguise his figure, he was only able to reach the foot of Wuzhi Shrine by midnight.
Carrying the unconscious ’Ninja Master’, he successfully scaled the walls and eaves to enter the guest room of the roadside inn, ’Turtle Maru House’.
As soon as he climbed in through the window, he saw an unconscious woman lying in the room.
Lin Xun twitched his mouth, and threw this unexpected young wife back into the neighboring room...
After settling down the unconscious ’Ninja Master’, he finally had time to check on his spoils of war.
Without a doubt, the greatest gain from this Yiye Palace battle was the shell of the palace lord. He couldn’t wait to open the panel of the shell to check its characteristics.
[Shell — Fire Worshiping Yiye Palace’s Master]
[Real Name: Ping Xuanyi]
[Compatibility: 126% (+55%). With compatibility exceeding the critical point, the quality of the shell has improved!]
[Shell Quality: Legendary Grade]
[Shell Level: 65]
[Shell Equipment: Yiye Palace’s Master’s Hunting Robe (Epic Grade Armour): A magnificent hunting robe tailored from brocade with golden diagonal floral patterns. Only the most prestigious master in the palace is permitted to wear it. Donning this attire will greatly enhance the strength of your ’banishment formation’ skills.]
[Shell Equipment: Yiye Palace’s Master’s Ebony Hat (Epic Grade Armour): A tall, pointed hat made from black moonlight gauze material. The hat is wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, embroidered with Yin Yang patterns. Wearing this hat will greatly enhance your ’Onmyoji Talisman’ skills.]
[Shell Skill: ’Onmyoji Talisman · United Strength’ (Epic Grade Skill): Using this skill will slightly enhance the shikigami’s strength.]
[Shell Skill: ’Onmyoji Talisman · Condensed Mire Nirvana’ (Epic + Grade Skill): Usage of this skill results in a large increase in the strength of the shikigami, at the cost of depleting its life force.]
[Shell Skill: ’Onmyoji Talisman · Worldly Fire’ (Epic Grade Skill): Using this skill, you can cast a small ball of pitch-black infernal fire, severely damaging your enemies.]
[Shell Skill: ’Sealing Formation · Guardian of the Ten Directions’ Absolute Realm’ (Legendary Grade Skill): Using this skill, you will create an immovable golden seal to protect a specified target. Until the seal is broken, it can defend against all damage aimed at the specified target.]
[Shell Skill: ’Yin Yang Technique - Imperial Evil Suppression’ (Legendary Grade Skill): While using this skill, you can fuse with the restrained ’monster’ or freed ’evil spirit’, and make it your Shikigami. Current order slots 0/5]
[The effectiveness of the ’Onmyoji Talisman’, ’Sealing Formation’, and ’Yin Yang Technique’ are all affected by the weight of ’Inferno’; the heavier it is, the more powerful the skills.]
Lin Xun took his time to look through, checking each equipment and skill offered by the palace lord’s shell.
The legendary-grade shell not only had an impressive level 65, but it also came with two pieces of equipment and five skills, the worst of which were of epic grade; it even possessed two legendary-grade skills.]
