Summon Dragon Soul
No...
This is so cool! Between the two of us, who's the main character here??
Seeing Alice transform into a young girl in an instant, I finally became convinced that she was indeed the girl depicted in the journal.
She's just more mature now, at the peak of her womanhood.
I'm too embarrassed to call her Grandma Alice anymore.
"You brat, you must be one of those legendary players, right?" Alice suddenly blurted out.
"Yes, a kind player." I didn't hide anything.
She smiled faintly and said nothing.
I couldn't help but ask, "Alice, how did you manage to reverse aging?"
"I?"
She turned to look at me, her eyes gleaming with a deep blue light. "I only told you I was a Subspace Witch, but did I say I was an ordinary Subspace Witch?"
This...
I was dumbfounded.
I initially thought she wasn't just an ordinary Psionicist, but a cool Subspace Witch, far more powerful than ordinary Psionicist. Turns out she's not even an ordinary Subspace Witch after all! What kind of wish-fulfillment novel heroine script is this?
"Can an ordinary Subspace Witch live forever?" I asked.
"Not exactly."
Alice smiled slightly, "But after gaining insight into the mysteries of the warp, psionic energy reconstructs life. Generally speaking, a Subspace Witch can live for more than three hundred years, and I... might live even longer."
"Then you must be really good, right?" I asked.
"Well enough."
"Then a logical flaw appears: why would someone as powerful as you be imprisoned in a dungeon by a servant of a subspace Chaos Demon God for sixty years? You should know that servant wasn't actually that strong; even a second-rate like me could defeat him."
"Heh, second-rate stuff..."
Alice turned around, her eyes fixed on me for several seconds before she chuckled, "You little rascal, you've got a pretty good idea of your own position."
That's a bit hurtful, Grandma Alice!
"You should know that I was only fourteen years old when I was targeted by the Chaos Demon God. At that time, my spiritual power had not yet fully developed. Although I have been imprisoned for so many years, I have been unable to release any spiritual power, but the power deep within my body has been increasing day by day."
"Understood."
I nodded, no longer having any doubts.
"Ding Han, you're a player from the Crimson Dragon Country, right?" she suddenly asked.
"Hmm, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, we won't only meet once."
Alice smiled meaningfully, "From the moment you appeared in Dragon Bone Wilderness, our fates have been intertwined, so we will meet again."
I took a deep breath. "So, should I call you Queen Alice next time?"
She chuckled, her answer seemingly unrelated to the question, "You brat, you'd better grow up well and not fall from grace, promise me!"
Wait, why are you suddenly getting sentimental?
I nodded emphatically. "Yes, I will!"
Let's go.
Follow Alice out of the cave.
She walked barefoot forward, climbing all the way to the summit of the mountain, gazing into the distance at the dragon skeleton lying in the wilderness.
"After sixty years, I can finally see the world with my own eyes."
She closed her eyes, spread her arms, and basked in the evening breeze.
Just then, a Japanese voice suddenly came from below, and then we saw a group of Japanese Server players staring at Alice and me in disbelief.
"It's Shadow Chaser! He's finally appeared!"
"That bastard! We've been looking for him for ages!!"
"Follow me and tear this bastard to pieces! Avenge Sanshang- kun and Urata-kun!"
"Who's that girl next to me? She doesn't seem to be a player!"
"Don't touch that woman, she's mine!"
A playful smile appeared on the faces of the group of people; these Japanese Server players seemed to have suddenly transformed into Silver Demon Rogues.
"Buzz~~~"
I jerked my arm, Power Sword reactivated, ready for battle!
"Um?"
Alice looked down at the group of Japanese Server players below the mountain and frowned, saying, "You brat, are those your enemies?"
"That's right."
"Don't move, I'll take care of them for you."
"Real?"
"Yes, I'll let you see the true power of the warp, something those mere Psionicist can't even begin to fathom."
As she spoke, Alice pointed down the mountain, and instantly her body burst forth with blue light. Then, lightning flashed in the night sky, and deep blue Thunder Snake rolled in the darkness, illuminating the entire world.
"What the hell?!"
Before a group of Japanese Server players could react, thousands of psionic lightning bolts rained down from the sky.
Beautiful, area-of-effect attack...
The coverage area was approximately 10,000 x 10,000 yards, completely covering everything in the surrounding area, and it also generated two shields to protect me and her.
The next second, indiscriminate attacks rained down from the sky!
It could tear a player's body apart in almost a second. A group of Japanese Server players turned pale and were killed one by one!
"Don't resurrect, go straight back to town!"
Someone shouted from within the star map.
"A bunch of Boiling Thing, what a disappointment!" I added fuel to the fire.
As a result, before the Japanese Server players could even retaliate, they were forced to teleport away.
That's awesome! Now that's what you call a blitzkrieg!
From summoning the psionic lightning to clearing the area, it only takes 4-5 seconds, and the lightning is still raging. Even if you activate invincibility, it's useless; you'll still die!
I took a deep breath. "Is this power beyond that of the Subspace Witch?"
"The psionic energy of the warp is incredibly powerful; this is only a fraction of its power."
Alice turned to me and said softly, "Ding Han, the world we live in, our home planet, is unstable. Too many forces are eyeing and coveting everything. Regardless of whether you are a player or not, I hope you can grow up quickly. This world needs people like you."
And what about you?
"I will transform into a ray of light to illuminate this world."
Her statement was so brilliant that I had no answer to it.
"I'm leaving now. Good luck."
Bathed in psionic light, Alice's pure face appeared like that of a fairy. She smiled gently and said, "We'll meet again."
As she spoke, psionic lightning intertwined, Alice transformed into a streak of lightning, soaring through the sky and vanishing instantly!
Good heavens, warp teleportation?!
I was dumbfounded.
This mere SS-rank mission... actually brought out such a powerful figure?
Based on the power Alice has displayed, I would call her the Archmage of humanity in the Star Abyss.
Compared to her, all the Psionicist and Star Speaker I'd met before seemed utterly weak.
Just then, a bell rang in my ear, signaling that the mission was finally complete.
[Congratulations! You have completed the Main Quest "Alice's Cage!" (SS-rank)! Rewards: 60 million character experience, 2 Charm Value, and additional rewards: "Power Sword Storm" (SS-rank Skill Tome) and "Dragon Crystal Gauntlet" (quality: Cataclysm Tier, S8, Gold)!]
'Oh my god...'
I stared in disbelief at the reward.
This is clearly overkill! What SS-rank mission rewards you with not only an SS-rank Power Sword Storm manual but also a Gold Equipment?
Exceeding the standard, completely exceeding the standard!
I'll skip the Power Sword Storm; they're all the same. My gaze fell directly on the Dragon Crystal Gauntlet. They were deep red with a golden sheen on the surface, exquisitely crafted, delicate and beautiful. My eyes lingered on them briefly, and their attributes shone through—
[Dragon Crystal Gauntlet] (Quality: Cataclysm Tier, S8, Gold)
Grade: Rank 6
Defense: 1180
Strength: +70
Agility: +67
Spirit: +65
Blessing: Damage Reduction +5%
Specialty: Attack damage +20%

Blessing: Rock-II, increases defense by 800 points.
Blessing: Resilience, increases own health by 10,000 points.
Burst Skill: [Summon Dragon Soul], summons a dragon soul condensed from the chaotic power of subspace to aid in battle, lasting 120 seconds, with a 24-hour cooldown, consuming 100 points of Essence Points.
Biography: Gauntlets crafted from warp technology, containing the Dragon Power.
Strength required: 1100
Required Agility: 600
As expected of equipment given by Grandma Alice, it's really powerful!
This is an extremely perfect bracer, with perfect Damage Reduction, damage increase, attack, and armor attributes. Although the latter two are not at their maximum values, it does not affect the overall effect.
Because this bracer actually comes with a Burst Skill that Summon Dragon Soul!
Although the Dragon Soul can only be maintained for 120 seconds and consumes 100 Essence Points at once, once it can be summoned, it will be a force to be reckoned with.
This thing is great. Even if the equipment is upgraded in the future, we should keep it as a backup. After all, who would complain about Summon Dragon Soul!
I equipped it immediately and was instantly satisfied.
This trip was definitely worthwhile, it was a fantastic deal!
Half of the rewards come from missions, and the other half from players; both are important.
Early morning.
The Dragon Bone Wilderness was quiet.
The 100+ noisy Japanese Server players who were previously chattering were all silenced after Alice wiped them out with a single psionic lightning attack.
I have also completed my exploration of the core area of Dragon Bone Wilderness.
To put it another way, they've skimmed off all the profits they could and it's time to leave.
Even if I come back, I'll have to wait a while until new quests reappear here.
"Drop!"
A message came from Elizabeth: "Ding Han, the Japanese Server is in an uproar. They're saying you found an NPC and wiped out over 100 of them in one go. They're saying that's cheating. What exactly happened?"
"It's a long story; she was a very formidable grandmother."
I coughed and then looked at the two Power Sword Storm in my storage space.
One copy was given to Ruolin, and the other one was left over.
Give Gun Like a Dragon," that's fine, but he doesn't really need another book like that. After all, Gun Like a Dragon" so powerful isn't his own fighting skills, but his ability to lead a team, which is called "command value."
So, an idea popped into my head.
This book can be used as leverage to win over Elizabeth. Elizabeth and the Gilded Rose Guild behind her are both targets we should strive to win over. Of course, if she has already studied it, then disregard what I said.
"Silly White, have you learned Power Sword Storm yet?" I asked.
"No, you hit it?"
"Hmm, the quest dropped a book."
"..."
Elizabeth sent a pleading kitten emoji. "Can you sell it to me?"
