Demigod Genie
Soren didn't waste too much time.
After sending the blueprint for a new round of construction to the Overseas Islands, he continued preparing to complete the chain of quests involving the Four Elemental Crystals. Now he is getting closer and closer to the Legendary Domain, and it is estimated that he can advance to the Legendary after completing these quests. At that time, he may be able to try to fuse the Divine Rank Shard obtained from the quests. A sealed Divine Rank Shard, said to come from a fallen Evil God, is still somewhat dangerous, and requires a very high level of willpower to resist the residual power on the Divine Rank.
Therefore, Soren was also hesitant about whether or not to give the Divine Rank Shard to Vivian to absorb.
The Divine Will is a very troublesome thing!
Vivian is still too young; her willpower can never compare to that of Soren has experienced so much.
It spread slowly over time.
The plan to defeat the Southern Island Nation's navy was also brewing, and Soren finally obtained new Legendary Degree, and even got two at once.
"Battle of the Mist [Legendary Combat]: In early March of the Crescent Era 1676, you single-handedly ambush the combined forces of the Southern Island Nation and the Viking Pirate in the waters near Arendelle. In this battle, you severely damaged the enemy and repelled the Southern Island Nation's navy. The legend of the Ghost Ship gradually spread throughout the Land of Ice and Snow. The outcome of this battle is still unfolding, and there are faint rumors circulating that you are the Guardian of Arendelle. [Legendary Degree +2]"
"Battle of the Darktide [Large-Scale Battle]: In mid-March of 1676, during the Crescent Era, you led a pirate army in a surprise attack on the retreating forces of the Southern Island Nation near the Darktide Strait. In this battle, you severely damaged the Southern Island Nation's navy and brought the West Coast under your control. With this victory, your reputation among pirates grew, and some even proposed to draft a <Pirate Codex> in your name to represent the Pirate King. [Legendary Degree +3]"
The two Legendary Degree were calculated separately.
Perhaps because the two battles were different, Soren gained 5 Legendary Degree this time.
As your Legendary Degree increases, your personal reputation will also rise. More and more people will know about you. Generally, an adventurer will only have around ten Legendary Degree points, which is enough to make you quite famous within a certain area. Around twenty Legendary Degree, your fame will spread to surrounding areas, and many people within an entire kingdom may have heard of your legend, such as when Soren first became the Pirate King. When someone's Legendary Degree exceeds 30 points, the scope of their fame will expand rapidly. You could say their fame has spread across half the continent.
50 points of Legendary Degree is a watershed moment.
If you want to climb higher, you either need to do something that makes you a household name, or you need to find a way to spread your fame beyond mainland China.
For example, Soren is very famous among pirates and has been heard of in various kingdoms.
However, the Underdark is unaware of this person!
As for the other the Abyss, Baator Hell, Elysium, Grey Domain, and so on, no one in these Plane knows who Soren is.
Land of Ice and Snow.
Soren returned to this frigid land, but this time he was not heading towards Arendelle. Instead, he headed towards the endless Snow Mountains.
This is the territory of the Ice Troll.
Although Soren was already capable of challenging these creatures with astonishing Regeneration abilities, he had no intention of using them to raise his professional rank.
These monsters are difficult to kill; their Regeneration abilities are too abnormal. More importantly, the Troll here possess Spell-like Ability. Perhaps due to living in extremely cold regions, these Ice Troll have developed Spell- like mutations. They are creatures that can potentially cause unexpected defeats. Furthermore, there is a certain chance of encountering Troll Witch Doctor, a type of Spellcaster similar to Shaman, against whom Rogue are inherently at a disadvantage. Troll are monsters whose heads can grow back after being cut off, and a stab to the heart is completely harmless. This doesn't fit Soren's fighting style.
As they traveled along the cold, Snow Mountains, Soren gradually entered a valley nestled among the mountains.
The surrounding area was steep, icy slopes. As the number of creatures entering the area decreased dramatically, some formidable Elemental Life appeared.
--Ice Elemental!
"Ice Elemental [Elemental Life] (Tier 4)."
"Challenge Rating 10, CR 15, possesses Spell-like Ability."
"Highest attribute: 22 points. Lowest attribute: 10 points. Total attribute value: 90-100 points."
Special Feat: Elemental Armor, Ice Lance, Elemental Life Traits, Cold Trait.
"Challenge difficulty: a."
All Elemental Life belong to the supernatural.
They are mostly around the fourth rank, making them difficult enemies for ordinary people to deal with. Even the pirate Boss under Soren's command have a hard time dealing with them.
Ice Elemental are icy bodies about two meters tall, and like Earth Elemental, they are only a blurry humanoid shape. Their bodies are light blue and made entirely of very hard ice. They have virtually no fatal weaknesses, and any injury can be gradually repaired by simply refreezing water. Therefore, defeating them requires a swift and decisive attack.
As we entered this territory of Ice Elemental.
The Legendary Scimitar, Icetail, began to emit a cold light. When the surrounding temperature approached zero degrees Celsius, Icetail would automatically produce strange streams of light and extinguish nearby flames, reducing the Cold Damage Soren received. This level of combat posed little challenge to Soren, who easily defeated the Ice Elemental and gradually ventured deeper into the altar's perimeter.
The real highlight is the giant Elemental Life that appears after the Elemental Crystal are taken away.
The last one was a Legendary Earth Giant; who knows what will appear this time, since even Soren doesn't fully understand it.
The altar looks very similar to the one I saw last time.
Soren approached cautiously, then searched around the altar and quickly found the Elemental Crystal).
Rumble!
As soon as he took out the Elemental Crystal, the ice beneath his feet began to shatter, and then an enormous arm suddenly emerged from beneath the altar.
The ground was cracked in all directions in a spiderweb pattern, and it was only the size of an arm, yet it was already as tall as Soren.
Rumble!
A colossal body appeared, a creature whose upper body was made of ice and whose lower body was spiral-shaped like a whirlpool of water.
--"Ice Genie!" [Demigod]
Oops!
Soren's expression changed slightly, and he vanished into the shadows in an instant before fleeing out of the valley.
All the Elemental Genie are Demigod- level beings, much more powerful than the Elemental Elder. Some can even grant mortals' wishes, much like the magic lamps in legends.
Such an enemy is not one he can easily deal with!
But just as Soren was fleeing towards the edge of the valley, the Ice Genie that burst from the ground suddenly exclaimed, "Finally free!"
"Mortal! Did you release Kalonagus?"
