Echellyn's Shock Collar
The carriage was not spacious.
But Edwina's reaction was incredibly fast!
Just as Roger charged forward with the Flicker Dagger.
He received a vicious "Staff Strike" to the stomach! The pain stimulated his nerves.
But with 100% robust support.
Roger's operations were unaffected.
He released the dagger.
He suddenly lunged at the other party.
In the blink of an eye.
Three waves of energy containing Ice Element erupted from the "Vampire Witch" and spread outwards in concentric circles! Unfortunately...
Any resistance spell is just a waste of time.
The next second.
Roger delivered a vicious Knee Strike strike to Edwina's stomach.
The latter's body involuntarily leaned forward, and then he began to breathe heavily and rapidly.
However, Edwina's tenacity far exceeded Roger's expectations!
Despite taking a Knee Strike head-on, she still maintained remarkable mobility.
She grabbed the leather collar around her neck.
Dense electric sparks emerged rapidly and intensely.
In an instant.
A terrifying white light instantly annihilated everything.
The entire carriage was destroyed by the intense Lightning Element! Outside the carriage, the Carriage Driver and the horse were reduced to charred remains in the blink of an eye.
The carriage itself shattered into pieces! In the white light.
A defensive shield slowly disappeared.
Edwina calmly tore open a scroll.
But at this very moment...
An incredibly thick arm suddenly emerged from the clusters of lightning and grabbed her by the neck!
Edwina's eyeballs immediately bulged to their maximum.
The next moment.
The rough hand twisted it gently.
They actually ripped Edwina's head off her neck!
"You killed the 'Vampire Witch' Ai Zhuo Lin (vampire/ Extraordinary Mage /elite)"
"You have gained 65 XP points and 177 Xia Yin Value points."
"Failed to claim the Extermination Order reward..."
You have obtained 8 Strength Shard.
"Wow, it healed me to full capacity right away."
He was also the patriarch of the Wither Cult.
Compared to the Curse Priest who was killed after going through countless hardships.
This young female mage showed Roger exceptional care and concern.
Although Roger was caught off guard by the initial "Staff Strike".
But she quickly expressed her apology.
In that last round of lightning storm.
Roger's health points lost due to "Staff Strike" were completely restored by "Spell Absorption".
There's even a surplus!
That feeling was so incredibly pleasant.
The only profession that can be described is the mage.
She has the potential to become Roger's darling.
Inside the train carriage after the fierce battle.
Roger loosened his right hand somewhat awkwardly, and Edwina's headless corpse slid down with it.
Looking at that arm, which was three times thicker.
Roger's eyes lit up with satisfaction.
The "Qilin Arm" is extremely effective in actual combat.
Aside from some inconsistencies.
Roger couldn't find any fault with it.
And a new notification appeared on the data panel at just the right time.
"Having achieved a virgin kill using the ' Qilin Arm,' you've reached a new milestone— Beat it Till it Turns to Ash."
"Beat it Till it Turns to Ash: Your dominant hand seems to have a bright future."
"Corresponding title: Lopsided Popeye (Your dominant hand strength +10% / Your non-dominant hand strength -10%)"
"It's not good to be good to specialize in only one subject."
Roger muttered something.
They began scavenging for spoils from the remains of the carriage.
It has to be said.
These cult members are all extremely poor.
Even Extraordinary Mage exudes a sense of shabbyness.
After one round.
The most useful item Roger could find was that leather collar.
"Edwina's Electric Shock Collar (Accessory/Extraordinary)"
Rating: SS+
"Attributes: Intelligence +1 / Charisma +1"
"Special effect: When worn, you will attract extra attention from certain groups of people."
Enchantment 1: Resist Ice Waves
"Resist Ice Waves (6th Ring Spell): Three ever-expanding waves of air instantly appear centered on the wearer, and have a certain amount of Ice Element effect."
The person hit will be pushed away and suffer damage and crowd control effects equivalent to ' Ice Ring Spell '.
"Restriction: Once per day"
Enchantment 2: Improved Lightning Storm
"Improved Lightning Storm (6th Rank Spell): Summons a lightning storm filled with extremely high concentrations of Lightning Element, centered on the wearer."
At the same time, a protective shield will be generated on the wearer's body to protect them from accidental damage from lightning storms.
"Limit: 3 times per day"
Theoretically speaking.
This is a rare find.
The problem is that Roger's neck is too thick for it to wear.
Moreover, he has an instinctive resistance to this thing.
We can only keep it for now.
We will use it as needed in the future.
besides.
Roger discovers that this "Vampire Witch" seems to have a particular fondness for fruits and vegetables.
Because he found a whole bunch of related items—
"Edwina's Pumpkin Lantern".
"Edwina's Eggplant Staff".
"Edwina's Cucumber Scroll".
"Edwina's Guillotine".
In short, there was a dazzling array of choices.
This gave Roger, a 28-year-old reclusive Hidden Hero, a truly eye-opening experience.
But with his firm will, he did not indulge in these trivial matters.
They simply stuffed them silently into the Tinder Pouch.
Then he charged menacingly toward Little Thorn Valley.
He had confirmed through the Echo Orb left behind by Edwina that she was the only powerful being in Little Thorn Valley.
The remaining Withered Cultist are all villains waiting for the Holy Sacrifice Ritual.
Do not kill now.
When will we wait any longer?
A moment later.
Outside Little Thorn Valley.
Gunshots rang out.
After a rapid-fire round.
Near the main gate.
Eight members of the Withered Cultist had their heads blown off.
The remaining people rushed over as if they had gone mad!
Animal bloodstains still remained at the corners of their mouths.
There wasn't a trace of reason in his eyes.
In the woods.
A crossbow bolt flew out quickly.
What followed was a massive, all-encompassing net!
In the blink of an eye.
This group of reckless cult members were caught in the trap.
Under the paralysis of Lightning Element.
They were temporarily incapacitated.
Roger strolled by.
He skillfully threw the grenade.
Three minutes later.
There isn't a single living cultist to be seen outside Little Thorn Valley!
And inside the valley, there are village-like buildings.
The Withered Cultist noticed the unusual activity.
However, they were different from their companions outside who had completely lost their minds.
Facing the approaching hunting party.
They chose to close the wooden door and activate the alarm!
On the towers on both sides.
Soon, one after another, men in yellow clothes appeared, each carrying a stone in their arms.
Several archers were also hidden in the shadows, waiting for their chance to strike.
Upon seeing this.
Roger simply waved his hand lightly.
In the woods.
A total of six small catapults were pushed out by the Quasi-Horned Demon of the Combat Group!
All the catapults were filled with a dark red stone.
These stones have been soaked in "Dragon Fat Fire" and are standard flammable materials.
Just a tiny spark is enough to ignite a raging fire!
"Put!"
Roger decisively gave the order.
The next second.
Under the fearful gaze of the Withered Cultist.
The burning stones began to fall from the sky like meteorites!
At the beginning.
The Quasi-Horned Demon seemed a bit clumsy, and their stones weren't hitting the mark very accurately.
But very quickly.
They then grasped the essence of projection.
In the midst of the whistling.
Stones the size of carts landed precisely on the wooden buildings of the Wither Cult.
They smashed out one terrible crater after another!
Amid the wailing of the Withered Cultist.
Little Thorn Valley is beginning to fall—
The tower was the first to be breached.
Secondly, there's the main entrance.
And then.
No further action is required.
The raging fire had become unstoppable in Little Thorn Valley! Many men in yellow robes rushed out of the gate.
He attempted to fight Roger to the death.
But what awaited them was a "death package" consisting of Dragon-Catching Ballista, fishing nets, and hand grenades.
These cultists do not possess the "Holy Sacrifice Fruit".
In terms of attributes, they are at most a little stronger than ordinary people.
Under Roger's war-level hunting strategy, death was the only outcome! Amidst the crackling of grenades.
The Withered Cultist kept falling to the ground.
And not far from these corpses.
It was precisely those animal carcasses that they had once eaten and dismembered.
Blood and flames intertwined to create the most solemn symphony of death.
Within this narrow valley.
The music never stops.
Four hours later.
The smoke dissipated.
Roger walked through the ruins of Little Thorn Valley, skillfully collecting loot.
As it stands now.
Little Thorn Valley is just an ordinary outpost.
Roger didn't find any valuable clues.
There isn't even a statue of the Withered King!
"It seems the Wither Cult's headquarters are located at another coordinate."
"The people on the farm weren't lying, but they really didn't understand that the cultists here and the people who attacked them weren't the same group."
Roger thought with some regret.
However, the trip was still quite fruitful.
After eliminating more than 300 cult members who were entrenched in the area.
He now possesses 293 "Strength Shard".
This number far exceeded Roger's estimate.
This made him even more excited for the upcoming hunt!
The sky was getting dark.
Roger took a few Copper Coin and stuffed them into his pocket.
It was at this moment.
A sudden sense of foreboding arose in his heart!...
"Sixth Sense: You sense the killing intent emanating from the Extraordinary Assassin."
In that instant.
Roger felt a chill run down his spine.
Without a sound.
A cold dagger pierced out from the "Shadow Realm".
A direct hit to Roger's back! At the critical moment.
Roger's body began to grow at a visible rate!
"Second Form: Thunder Dragon".
A crackling sound rang out.
The sharp dagger pierced Roger's flesh through the gaps in the scales!
On the data panel.
Lines of combat data flashed by rapidly.
"Notification: You have taken physical damage from the ' Mad Fang Dagger '."
Warning: You have been poisoned by an unknown supernatural toxin.
"Immune to All Poisons: Your toxin resistance has taken effect; unknown extraordinary toxins cannot harm you."
With a soft "poof".
Roger, now in his half-dragon form, let out a loud, foul-smelling fart that echoed throughout the canyon.
The extraordinary toxins were easily neutralized.
He turned around abruptly.
The assassin swiftly blended into the Shadow Realm! But Roger was faster—
Even from the moment the assassination attempt occurred.
The Hunter's Mark was already on her!
That's right.
She was a petite yet extraordinary female assassin! Though it was only a fleeting glimpse.
The other party was masked and dressed in Night Clothes.
But the pair of enormous objects in front of the assassin were simply too exaggerated.
But under True Sight.
Every detail is clearly visible.
"Trying to escape?"
Roger strode headlong into the depths of the canyon!
Entering the Shadow Realm does not guarantee absolute safety.
Even the Extraordinary Assassin can only temporarily use the power of the Shadow Realm to conceal themselves.
They still need to return to the Prime Material Plane from time to time.
And after the Ultimate Hunter is activated.
Roger can find every spot she's in the Prime Material Plane! He will never let her go!...
Fifteen seconds later.
Deep in the canyon.
"Boom!"
Roger pierced through layers of rock with his tail, forcing the assassin who was trying to hide underground to come out!
The latter seemed surprised that Roger would be able to find her.
After using a Smoke Bomb -like item.
She retreated back into the Shadow Realm, somewhat disheveled.
But the tip of Roger's tail.
It was already stained with a trace of blood! "Let's see where you can hide now!"
Roger was burning with anger.
Someone must have interfered with his senses just now.
If it weren't for his extremely quick reaction...
It might just be that I'm about to enter a Near-Death State.
He absolutely had to catch that female assassin! But the Extraordinary Assassin was indeed quite skilled.
Despite being marked as a hunter by Roger early on.
She continued to use her advantage in the Shadow Realm to outmaneuver Roger.
Time passed by, second by second.
Suddenly.
The female assassin, who had reappeared from the Shadow Realm, changed her escape route—
This time, she had four suction cups on her hands and feet.
But then she jumped off the cliff.
He climbed to the top with lightning speed! Roger deactivated his Second Form.
The Ladder Cloud Steps Full Firepower in an attempt to catch up.
But the speed at which she climbed was insane!
Almost in the blink of an eye, we were almost at the top of the cliff.
The distance between the two sides was visibly increased.
Roger's heart sank.
He tried to close the distance by Uproot from Dry Land.
But the female assassin had already easily placed her hand on the edge of the cliff.
"We can't catch up for now."
Roger thought to himself.
However, at this time...
He suddenly saw a clump of dark plants on the edge of the cliff.
Suddenly a thin, long needle appeared!
The next second.
It stabbed violently into the female assassin's thigh! She stumbled.
Suddenly, he lost all strength in his limbs and fell downwards.
Roger then delivered a Knee Strike strike to the back of her head!
"Alert: The Extraordinary Assassin has fallen into a deep coma."
In an instant.
Roger grabbed the female assassin and rushed up the rocky slope two steps.
Taking this opportunity.
He was able to glimpse the view from the top of the cliff—
It was pitch black there.
There wasn't even a place to stand!
Hint: You have discovered a large number of Rampaging Thorn.
Roger's expression shifted slightly.
The next moment.
All that remained was unbridled joy.
