Chapter 76: The Grand Princess of Doma Kingdom, Alice!
Looking at the wind wolf leg bone that was as tall as a person covered in blood, Li Yi’s expression did not change at all.
He had seen a lot of huge items in his previous life, so he was not fazed at all. He took a few steps forward and put it into his backpack.
[System Notification: You have obtained the mission item, wind wolf leg bone!]
“Next is the sudden mission…”
Li Yi said in a low voice. He opened the system map and found that the mark was very close to this place. Without hesitation, after confirming the right direction, he carried Deaths Descent and walked quickly.
…
Ten minutes later, Li Yi looked at the map and arrived at his destination.
“Let’s take a look around.”
Li Yi put away the map and began to examine this area carefully. After a while, this small area was almost fully inspected by Li Yi.
“There’s nothing. Could they be in the next area?”
Li Yi muttered and opened the system map to plan the route of the next area. Since Divine Revelation gave a sudden mission, something must have happened.
After planning the route, Li Yi rushed over according to the system’s directions. The second region was also the last region to be explored.
The vegetation here was much more luscious compared to the previous region. If there really were spies from other countries, hiding here would be the best option.
Li Yi came to the vicinity of the second region.
“Huh?” Li Yi smelled something as soon as he stepped into this region, “This is… The smell of blood?!”
Li Yi was slightly shocked. He knew that he had found the right place. He carefully checked his surroundings and found that there were bloodstains on a bush that had not dried up yet.
The bloodstains went in one direction.
Seeing this, Li Yi hurried to follow the bloodstains.
…
“Ah!”
A scream came from the front.
Li Yi quickened his pace and pushed aside the bush in front of him that blocked his view.
He saw a beautiful woman with golden curly hair, clutching her injured right shoulder that was bleeding. After running, she fell to the ground.
In front of her were five soldiers holding long swords and wearing armor. Their faces were ferocious.
The saliva of these soldiers dripped from the corners of their mouths. Their eyes were bloodshot and full of violent intent. Their bodies were even emitting a strange aura.
Li Yi looked at the five soldiers and was slightly stunned. He did not know why he felt that the aura on their bodies was very familiar, but he could not remember where he had seen it before.
Then, he looked at the beautiful woman who was being chased. When he saw her name clearly, his heart could not help but be shocked.
[NPC Doma Kingdom’s Eldest Princess — Alice]
When Li Yi was still shocked by the name, the five ferocious-looking soldiers made their move. They did not say anything, but one could tell that they were only filled with killing intent.
The longsword in their hands mercilessly aimed at Alice’s head and chopped it off.
“Starlight’s Blessing!”
Dazzling starlight twined around Li Yi’s feet, and his entire body turned into an afterimage.
Alice looked at the longsword that was getting closer and closer to her. A hint of unwillingness flashed across her beautiful eyes, and then she closed her eyes as if she had accepted her fate.
Clang!
However, in the next moment, it was not as she had expected. Her head did now fly into the sky. Instead, the sound of metal clashing rang in her ears.
“I made it.”
Li Yi’s death blow landed and bounced off the five soldiers. After attacking from different angles, he heaved a sigh of relief.
A princess had almost died in the territory of the Ghana Empire, and she had almost died right under the nose of this Heavy Armored Dragon Knight.
He simply did not dare to imagine the consequences were he to have encountered that possibility.
Alice’s beautiful eyes trembled slightly as she carefully opened her eyes.
A tall figure, like a savior, held a greatsword in front of her and blocked her way. After feeling a slight joy in her heart, she was suddenly shocked.
“A Heavy Armored Dragon Knight?!”
Alice’s mouth opened slightly as she stared in disbelief at the figure blocking her way. After Li Yi became a Heavy Armored Dragon Knight, he would exude a special aura on his body. This aura could let the NPCs know his identity.
“There’s something wrong with these people…”
Li Yi’s eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the five soldiers not far away who were holding a longsword and stared at him with murderous intent.
The violent aura on their bodies was too dense and abnormal. The five soldiers did not attack immediately. Instead, they pulled some distance away from Li Yi. It made it seem that the five were a little afraid of him.
This small action was naturally noticed by Li Yi. He took this opportunity to check the five men’s panel.
[Level 26 Infected Soldier (elite)]
[HP: 13,000]
[Physical Attack: 300]
[Physical Defense: 100]
[Magic Defense: 100]
“Infected soldiers…”
Li Yi looked at the name and could not help but frown. He had some questions in his heart.
The five soldiers’ scarlet eyes flashed with a hint of madness. They raised their swords and charged at Li Yi.
Li Yi narrowed his eyes and a golden black aura exuded from Deaths Descent. As soon as the aura appeared, the ruthless soldiers retreated crazily as if they had met their natural enemy. There was an unconcealable fear in their eyes.
“Sigh, as expected.”
Li Yi sighed. The question in his heart had been confirmed.
He took a step forward and charged towards the five. Then, Deaths Descent descended upon the closest man and sliced through his body.
The blade sliced through the air. The sound of wind whistling could be heard as the attack covered the surrounding area.
The soldier’s scarlet eyes were filled with fear. They suddenly had no fighting spirit and turned around to escape. Unfortunately, it was too late.
“-14,031! Suppressive Hit!”
The blade slashed across the soldier’s throat. The damage value floated above his head and his HP was instantly emptied.
The soldier clutched his throat and knelt on the ground. His odd-smelling blood dyed the ground red.
Without using any skills, he killed them with a single slash. Li Yi did not find this strange because the magic weapon in his hand was firmly restraining these people from their fullest potential.
Not only that, but there was also the golden aura from the Heavy Armored Dragon Knight token, which similarly restrained them.
The former was the restraint of a superior, while the latter was the restraint of attributes.
“A magic weapon…”
Lucy looked at Deaths Descent in Li Yi’s hand and whispered to herself.
Li Yi turned around but did not stop to talk. He then rushed towards the soldier on the left.
A flash of struggle flashed in the eyes of the other soldiers, and then their bodies suddenly exploded. In an instant, the fear in their eyes disappeared, leaving only endless madness.
They grinned hideously, brandishing their longswords as they charged at Li Yi without any regard for their lives.
“They’ve completely destroyed their wills to live…”
Li Yi glanced at them with pity. He sighed inwardly as he slashed at them feverously with Deaths Descent in his hand.
The wills of this group of people had already been completely devoured by the demonic aura. At this moment, they could only be called puppets, puppets controlled by demons.
The only thing Li Yi could do now was to help them end their pain as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, he could not use Raging Blood Roar because Alive was behind him. Without forming a team, once he uses this skill…
All the monsters, NPCs, and players in the affected area would be attacked.
In an instant, the soldiers arrived in front of Li Yi. The four of them held longswords in their hands and attacked Li Yi’s vital points at a very tricky angle.
Facing this head-on attack full of killing intent, Li Yi’s expression did not change. He took a few steps back, bent his body slightly, held his weapon tightly with both hands, and suddenly raised it towards the sky!
Clang!!!
“-7321! Block!”
“-6931! Block!”
“-8312! Block!”
“-7011! Block!”
The majestic and huge force sent the four of them flying. Their arms went numb, and their longswords fell to the ground with difficulty.
Li Yi seized the opportunity and rushed forward. Then, Deaths Descent drew a black and golden light, and the four of them had their throats cut open. With that, blood gushed out like a waterfall.
“-12,398! Critical Hit!”
“-16,731! Suppressive Attack!”
“-14,331! Suppressive Attack!”
“-14,568! Suppressive Attack!”
The four soldiers lost their lives, and a look of relief flashed across their eyes.
“…”
Li Yi looked at the five corpses lying on the ground and could not help but fall silent. In the end, he shook his head, turned around, and walked towards Alice, who had a blank look on her face. Then, he stretched out his hand and said softly,
“Your Highness, Princess of the Doma Kingdom, Are you alright?”
Alice only came back to her senses at this time. She held Li Yi’s hand and stood up. Then, she covered her bleeding arm, shook her head, and said, “I’m fine.”
“Thank you very much, Heavy Armored Dragon Knight.”
Alice was not surprised that Li Yi could recognize her identity. In her opinion, it was normal for a Heavy Armored Dragon Knight to recognize the royal family from another country.
After thanking her, Alice’s expression became anxious.
“Heavy Armored Dragon Knight, please bring me to Emperor City to meet the officials there. I have something very important to discuss with the Ghana Empire!”
Li Yi was stunned for a moment before a cold mechanical voice sounded.
[System Notification: Sudden Mission — Patrol, completed!]
[Second Round of Mission: Amidst the chaos, please bring Alice to meet the higher-up officials of the Ghana Empire.]
