Ji Qiu's White Tiger
"The Ascension Road: The requirements for Heaven Path Ascension are as follows—"
1. Main position: Geda 0.49 (Kills/Completed)...
2. At least one attribute must reach 25 (Strength/Completed)...
3. Smelting Pillar Item (0/3) (The Sea Stabilizing Divine Needle is being smelted)...
4. Ascension Ritual (Incomplete/Can be replaced by Ascension Mission)
"I see."
"It's less of a replacement..."
"It's more accurate to say that the Ascension Mission is a ritual of killing!"
After checking the relevant information about the Ascension Road.
Roger decisively chose to confirm! A moment later.
A somewhat familiar two-choice screen appeared before his eyes!...
"Ascension Mission (Elite Grade)"
Briefly: Annihilate the ' Black Blood Legion ' and kill at least one of the ' Three Great Leaders '.
Note: The Black Blood Legion is the original First Legion of the Salvation Army.
It landed in Mystra 30 years ago.
Under the transformation of 'Dominator' Vilan, they were gradually turned into a non-human army inspired by Evil Curse.
The Three Great Leaders of the Black Blood Legion are all core high-ranking members of the Salvation Society.
They are respectively ' Archmage Monroe ', ' Sword Saint Othello ', and ' Fallen Divine Art Master Johnny '.
"Rewards: Upgrade to a higher class/domain and authority/3 additional free Attribute Points"
"Ascension Mission (Heavenly Fate Grade)"
Briefly: Annihilate the ' Black Blood Legion ', including the ' Three Great Leaders ', and save or eliminate the ' Last Celestial God Apostle '.
Note: The ' Last Celestial God Apostle ' is the ruler of the Celestial God's Palace; specific details are unknown...
"Rewards: Upgrade to a higher class/domain and authority/an additional 10 free Attribute Points / Second Ascension opportunity at Level 100"
"What?"
"Can a grade be upgraded twice?"
Roger was stunned.
With his extensive knowledge and experience.
I've never encountered an Ascended who possesses two primary positions simultaneously! "Wait!"
"If two-digit characters are possible..."
"Then three-digit or five-digit characters wouldn't be out of the question, would they?"
Roger's heart skipped a beat.
The gene in his bones that makes him feel uncomfortable if he doesn't max out his character starts to stir.
Anyway.
Let's take on the "Heavenly Fate Grade" mission first!
After dealing with the "killing" incident.
Roger could also play around with "forging".
in addition.
Maybe "ocean" and "highly poisonous" are not bad either.
For others...
This might be seen as trying to do too much at once and ending up with nothing to eat.
But for Roger...
He wants it all!
After accepting the mission.
Roger was not careless.
Instead, they used the Qi Divination Technique to observe the "Blackblood Legion Camp" from a distance.
They repeatedly used divination to gather information about the First Legion.
Not long after.
A series of ethereal images flashed before my eyes like Lanterns.
It was located amidst towering mountains.
Among the mountains, which rise and fall in a staggered pattern.
The orderly camps took root like nails.
A long line of prison vans carrying expressionless Prison Wagon was brought in from the pass on the plain below the mountain.
The Prison Wagon were mostly filled with humans.
But there are also lives of other races.
It includes men, women, young and old.
Their only common trait was that their eyes were lifeless.
His whole body exuded an aura like that of a rotting corpse.
Roger noticed.
Pale purple marks occasionally flashed on their foreheads.
That's the mark of the Evil Curse School! Under the command of Evil Curse apprentices.
These prisoners were continuously sent to the colossal mill in the center of the mountains.
The Prison Wagon would come out from the other end of the mill.
But the people inside couldn't get out.
Below the mill, a dark red drainage ditch connects to the outside world.
In the drainage ditch.
It was all dark blood and rotting flesh! A faint ethereal light flickered across the earth.
Under the influence of mysterious forces.
The flesh and blood of the living transported from this enormous mill flowed into a lake in the mountains through drainage ditches.
Despite absorbing so much blood.
The lake still reflected an eerie blue-green glow.
The camps Roger first saw were mostly set up next to the lake in the mountains.
The lake water is eerie.
Beneath the surface, turbulent undercurrents surge.
It seems there is a water monster that chooses to devour people.
every day.
At least 1,000 Salvation Army soldiers would be driven into the mountain lake.
Of those, less than half survive.
These people became exceptionally large under the influence of the spells of the Evil Curse School.
Their strength has increased many times over! Even more terrifying is...
They must drink blood daily to maintain the strength of their bodies.
To ensure a stable blood supply.
These people are utterly wicked.
Roger saw it.
They ravaged the southern continent like locusts.
The land where war raged.
All that remained were white bones, as white as frost!
Countless people have been displaced.
Even more innocent people have died tragically.
And all of this is thanks to the Black Blood Legion and their creator, Vilan!...
"That bastard Vilan..."
"Not very high rank, but doing these shady things is like an old sow wearing a bra!"
"The Salvation Society probably only accepted him because they valued his ability to create monsters!"
Calm your mind.
Roger's expression turned serious.
Without a doubt.
Over the past thirty years.
The Salvation Army from Quenan has carried out unbridled invasion and slaughter in the Southern Continent of Mystra!
Even the prisoners of war were not spared.
This shows the dire situation in the Southern Continent!
It is not difficult to see from this.
Icadore wasn't entirely deceiving Roger back then.
The waters of the Southern Continent are indeed very deep.
Not everyone can seize this opportunity! Through years of conquest, the Black Blood Legion has turned the Southern Continent into a desolate wasteland.
But now.
Their target was actually the Astral White Whale!
"The Salvation Society must have discovered something here..."
Roger was thinking this.
Suddenly, there was a new activity on the data panel.
"Hint: You have uncovered the evil deeds of the ' Black Blood Legion ' through 'divination'."
"Your title 'Exorcist' is now active..."
Should the regular units of the ' Black Blood Legion ' be defined as monsters?
"Exorcist: Definition successful!"
You can now accumulate the Sin Mark attribute by killing Blackblood Legion Regular Units;
You will deal double damage to Blackblood Legion Regular Units.
"It's a pity, it only works on regular units."
After seeing what just happened.
Roger wished he could just label that old dog Vilan as a monster!
It's a pity that the fellow didn't seem to come to this Above the Sky.
Otherwise, Roger would have to risk depleting his entire pot of cards to kill that Evil Curse sorcerer who had harmed millions! He took a moment to calm himself down.
Not long after.
The Martial Artist who had ridden the first cable cars also followed.
I saw the scattered tents on the platform ahead.
They all looked surprised.
Roger gestured for them to be quiet.
Then he led everyone back to the vicinity of transfer station number 3.
He absolutely must destroy the "Black Blood Legion"!
But through divination, Roger discovered that the main force of this legion had reached twenty to thirty thousand men.
Half of them went up into the Above the Sky.
However, the number of the Black Blood Legion members on these platforms is not large.
This means their main force should be inside the "Astral White Whale"! Roger must find out the location of the Black Blood Legion's main force.
Only then can an attack be launched.
Otherwise, it would be bad to alert the enemy.
After all, he wasn't alone this time.
As the leader of a pioneering group.
He has to be responsible for every single one of his subordinates!
Next to the transfer station.
Roger had Ji Qiu activate the "White Tiger Avatar," which grants invisibility to the entire group.
Then he frantically began divining about the "Astral White Whale".
He whispered the information he had received.
at the same time.
The cable car was also working non-stop.
The Black Blood Legion members near these platforms were clearly careless.
With their inattentive attitude.
Naturally, they couldn't detect the Elite Squad members who had arrived in the Above the Sky by cable car in batch after batch!
And in this process.
Roger's divination and perception also yielded results.
At the very least.
He gained a basic understanding of the enormous thing above him! (See the data panel.)
"Exploration: Through 'divination' and 'perception,' you have initially illuminated the entire map of ' Above the Sky '... Insufficient exploration to provide additional XP!"
"Map: Astral White Whale (Four Major Regions), the maps of all four regions are sorted from bottom to top as follows—"
1. Underbelly of the White Whale: bottom layer, Sky-Air Corridor, Checkpoint, whale skin
"2. The Belly of the End: Pool of Destruction, Forest of Idols (Forbidden Area), Black Grassland, Shattered Dungeon"
"3. Ascending Cavity: Wolf Spirit Town, Wanderer's Stone Steps, Secluded Chamber, Secluded Paradise"
4. The Supreme Palace: Dawn Fields, Judgment Hall, Celestial Palace, Command Room
Under the divination that spares no expense in maintaining one's luck.
Roger had a complete view of the four regions.
This round of observations was of great significance to him.
first.
He confirmed the main force positions of the "Black Blood Legion".
These newly Mystra are now half in the "Checkpoint" on the first floor.
The other half is in the "Pool of Destruction" on the second floor.
The former's terrain is somewhat similar to the high-speed rail ticket checkpoint in my previous life.
It's just that it's much larger in scale.
There are a total of six floors.
It can be described as magnificent and grand.
This part of the Black Blood Soldier is fighting some squid monsters whose bodies are glowing brightly.
The latter, however, is a lake as black as ink.
The lake was formed from the sediment of oil from the belly of a beluga whale.
It exudes an aura of utter destruction.
Roger didn't find any monsters there.
But compared to their colleagues who are fighting on the first floor.
The Black Blood Soldier on this level seems to be struggling even more.
Roger noticed.
Of the three leaders, only one was in charge near the "Pool of Destruction".
The remaining two likely ventured deeper into the beluga whale.
Unfortunately, Roger failed to discover it.
Secondly.
Roger has located Jean and Vera!
It's not that his divination is miraculous.
It stems from a feeling of connection to the "Frostwinter Gargoyle"!
They should be receiving Griffith's training in the "Shattered Dungeon" on the second level right now.
Roger wasn't too worried that they would run into the other two leaders of the Black Blood Soldier.
Griffith's "Pig's Holy Sword" was definitely not a joke; he went to great lengths to lure them up here.
With this Immortal-grade holy sword.
Roger was more worried that the guy might chop up his mission target!...
third.
Roger has essentially confirmed the position of "the Last Celestial God Apostle".
It's not in the "Secluded Chamber" on the second floor.
It's in one of the four maps on the first floor!
Because Roger was unable to divination obtain any information beyond the names from only these five maps! Besides that...
He also sensed a very strong sense of danger.
In the darkness.
It seems someone stopped him from spying.
Although the cards haven't been revealed yet.
But it's probably already a case of "protesting too much."
at last.
Roger found the exact location of the switch to the "World Sea Barrier".
That's the "Wanderer's Stone Steps" on the third floor! This map connects directly to the "Command Room" on the first floor.
In terms of danger.
It should be second only to the five maps that Roger couldn't see!
"Annihilate the Black Blood Soldier and complete the entire map!"
That concludes the discussion.
Roger clarified his goal.
It also helped me to sort out my thoughts.
Meanwhile, the Elite Squad 300 people successfully reunited with Roger thanks to the tireless transport by the cable car.
After a brief tactical deployment.
Roger led the group toward the nearest platform.
"Hint: You have arrived at sampan number 16 on the lower platform."
"You have discovered ' Black Blood Legion: Evil Mage '*39"
"You have discovered ' Black Blood Legion: Berserker'*60"
"You have discovered ' Black Blood Legion: Resurrectors'*27"
"Your intention to initiate a war has been detected. Do you wish to activate the Beginner Campaign Mode?"
"Beginner Campaign Mode is now available!"
Current faction: Clear Spring Sect (cannot be selected)
"Note: All units belonging to the ' Black Blood Legion ' will become your enemies in this campaign. Killing these enemies will not only grant you double the rewards but also a large number of Honor Points."
"Tip: You can now use Honor Points to exchange for items in the Beginner Campaign Shop (New items loaded)"
Campaign Mode with Ascension Mission!
White whale monsters superimposed with the Black Blood Legion!
Roger couldn't tell how many times happier he was! He just kept browsing through the lines of information.
Occasionally, I'll tap "confirm"!...
"Campaign Shop: This refresh includes (Pet: Mischievous Sprite)"
"Pet (Mischievous Spirit): When you have a mischievous spirit by your side, it will spare no effort to cause trouble for you, but at the same time, if you can eliminate these troubles, you will gain very considerable excess benefits!
Note 1: The initial bonus for the Mischievous Sprite is 30%;
Each additional 24 hours of survival increases the chance by 10%;
It can be accumulated up to 300%.
Note 2: The bonuses provided by the Mischievous Spirit include quantifiable, high-frequency attribute benefits such as XP, Xia Yin Value, Honor Points, rank fragments, and Sin Mark.
Note 3: The Mischievous Sprite is very fragile and has a hard time surviving. Please do your best to protect it in the melee.
Note 4: The lifespan of a Mischievous Sprite is around 4000 hours.
Cherish the moments it spends with you.
Because it could come to the end of its life at any time.
Mischievous creatures that die of old age will have the opportunity to evolve into even more magical pets.
Please explore the details yourself...
Price: 50,000 Honor Points
"A pet that likes to cause trouble?"
Roger's eyes gradually began to light up.
Since we're already here...
What's there to be afraid of causing trouble with this pet?
Roger is the one! But first...
He needs to accumulate an initial Honor Points.
to this end.
Roger focused his gaze on the Black Blood Soldier camp ahead!
"The White Tiger in Ji Qiu is quite impressive..."
Without a sound or a sound.
The 300 elites had already reached the vicinity of the Black Blood Soldier's barracks.
The patrol officers were completely unaware of this.
This clearly demonstrates just how powerful the group invisibility ability provided by the white tiger is! "Well done!"
Roger nodded approvingly at Ji Qiu.
Then he whispered to the crowd:
"I'll count to 3, 2, 1..."
"Then you go!"
"3..."
The words fell.
Roger's figure had already disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Not good!"
"The Sect Master at it again!"
Ji Qiu slapped his thigh.
We will follow up immediately.
The others belatedly followed suit.
But when they stormed into the barracks with great momentum...
Only corpses remained on the ground.
"Hint: You have killed 9 Evil Mage"
"You have obtained Talent Shards *12"
Note: Every 1000 Talent Shards can be exchanged for 1 Attribute Points from 'Intelligence, Comprehension, or Soul Quality'.
