Mystra's Way of Showing Hospitality!
"Hint: You have killed 16 berserkers."
"You have obtained 20 Constitution Shard"
Note: Every 1000 Constitution Shard can be exchanged for 1 Attribute Points from 'Strength, Constitution, or Root Bone '.
"You killed 5 resurrected individuals."
"You have obtained 8 Empathy Shard"
Note: Every 1000 Empathy Shard can be exchanged for 1 Attribute Points from 'Charisma', 'Perception', or 'Agility'.
"You have gained 1500 Honor Points"
In the center of the barracks.
Roger calmly examined the prompts on the data panel.
I have a general idea in mind.
Under the alternating influence of "Ascension Mission" and "Campaign Mode".
The Black Blood Legion's three standard units have become a significant asset to Roger's path to becoming Nonagon Warrior.
Natural talent.
physique.
Sympathy.
The three newly emerging attribute fragments may be a unified reference for the corresponding attributes after they have reached the highest level.
Considering this might be the last chance to massively farm Attribute Points before the upgrade.
Roger would never let any member of the Black Blood Soldier escape! Even...
He'd even started considering how to lure the remaining Black Blood Soldier stationed in the Southern Continent up here!...
"Besieging a point and attacking reinforcements is not out of the question."
"However, in that case, I can't appear too strong. Otherwise, given the decisiveness shown by the Salvation Society's leadership, they would never commit too many troops in a pointless waste..."
Thinking this way.
The Elite Squad finally arrived late.
"Where are you, you villain? Take this!"
"Huh? This corpse is still wriggling. Is it playing dead? Watch my invincible iron fist!"
"Don't be so alarmed. I think I've figured it out. The Sect Master won't leave any survivors for us..."
Faced with a field of corpses.
The Martial Artist reacted differently.
Some are pretending to outwit and outmaneuver non-existent enemies;
Some used the enemy's feigned death as an excuse to frantically whip the corpse; others resigned themselves to their fate listlessly.
Seeing this scene.
Roger couldn't help but chuckle.
These guys seem to have really been holding back for too long.
Their reactions were, of course, just an act for him to see.
It's not appropriate for everyone to openly complain that the Sect Master.
Each of them could only feign madness in an attempt to awaken any possible compassion in Roger.
It has to be said.
They succeeded.
Roger didn't actually intend to kill all the enemies by himself.
That would completely defeat the purpose of leading a group to explore new areas.
The reason for 'getting a head start' before.
It was simply because he suddenly felt an urge to find out what attributes the regular units of the Black Blood Soldier could provide.
Now, in this case...
Everything is settled.
Naturally, there's no need to be as 'despicable' as before.
not to mention.
Roger's men are currently affiliated with a "UFO" unit.
In Campaign Mode.
They were assigned to be Roger's subordinates.
The enemies they killed.
Roger's excess attribute benefits are still being fully utilized.
Only Honor Points and XP will be slightly less.
"A little less is fine."
"We promised to train them, we can't just starve them without giving them a single meal..."
Thinking about this...
Roger's face broke into a bright smile.
Just then, Ji Qiu also came over.
He very tactfully reminded her:
"Sect Master, could you leave a few for us..."
"That's really unnecessary."
Roger said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, everyone...
He couldn't help but feel dejected.
Life seems to have turned gray and white.
"The rest are all yours!"
Roger pointed confidently to the barracks on the platform behind him and said.
"What?"
"Really?!"
"Could it be another feint?"
Upon hearing this...
The Elite Squad members instantly came back to life! The Martial Artist who had been feigning madness jumped up like carp leaping out of the water!
Looking at their excited expressions.
Roger chuckled lightly, "Don't worry, if I said I'd leave it to you, I definitely will."
When have I ever lied to anyone?
"Just now..."
A Martial Artist's mouth was shut up by Ji Qiu's White Tiger slap.
"But!"
Roger then changed the subject.
He solemnly instructed:
"You must pay attention to your own safety and not be greedy for quick success or act rashly, understand?"
Inside the barracks.
Everyone excitedly agreed.
Roger was about to lead them forward.
It was at this moment.
He suddenly noticed that several Martial Artist had expressions on their faces that seemed to say something but couldn't.
Roger then asked, "Speak your mind."
Those people looked at each other in bewilderment.
One of them mustered up the courage to say:
"Perhaps Vice Sect Master Ji shouldn't make a move?"
Ji Qiu's expression turned cold.
The white tiger suddenly darted in front of the audacious Martial Artist.
A slap could come at any moment.
However, this statement was met with enthusiastic responses from the public. "Yes, yes!"
"The Vice Sect Master's recent actions also show signs of becoming like those of the Sect Master!"
"He's an advanced Martial Artist now, surely he doesn't have to compete with us for training resources?"
Ji Qiu looked aggrieved:
"This is also my first time being so high up..."
As he spoke.
He Mi Mi ordered his white tiger to shut those people up.
However, the next moment.
Roger effortlessly pinned down Ji Qiu's White Tiger with his Floating Cloud Palm.
And he earnestly advised, "Autumn..."
"As elders, we should indeed let the younger generation do more work."
"Blindly protecting someone won't get you any training results. Don't you understand such a simple truth?"
Upon hearing this...
Ji Qiu was dumbfounded.
Is the Sect Master really not talking about himself?
The expressions on everyone's faces were somewhat complicated.
But no one dared to utter a sound.
Given Roger's reputation within the Clear Spring Sect.
Feigning madness and stupidity is already the limit that these Martial Artist can go on.
He didn't utter a single bad word about the Sect Master.
That's something I absolutely wouldn't dare to do.
"You may go!"
Roger looked like he had everything under control:
Don't look at me like that!
"A promise is a promise. I said I wouldn't take it from you, and I won't... Don't believe me?"
"Come on, come on!"
"Ji Qiu, let's play chess right here."
"So that these little guys won't be suspicious of us..."
As he spoke.
Roger pulled Ji Qiu to a comfortable spot in the tent to sit down. Ji Qiu was flattered and said, "Sect Master, you can play chess too?"
Roger nodded:
"Certainly."
Ji Qiu slapped his forehead. "I misspoke..."
"The Sect Master great learning and knowledge, of course he can play Go, a game inherited from the Tallen Era..."
Roger glanced at him.
As he turned back, having the Red Moon Ghost King carve a chessboard on the ground, he casually remarked:
"Of course, it's Gomoku (Five in a Row)."
"You don't even know how to play Connect Four?"
Ji Qiu fell silent.
As they were talking.
The Ghost King, exuding murderous intent, carved a rather large chessboard on the ground.
"I'll go first."
Roger finished saying that.
But then there was a loud crack.
The chess piece is placed.
But Ji Qiu was dumbfounded once again.
Because he couldn't see the chess pieces at all.
at the same time.
He also sensed an extremely terrifying power!
"Sect Master..."
"Do you always use the Gui Water Yin Lightning method when playing chess?"
He asked, forcing himself to be brave.
Roger looked at him kindly. "Yes, yes."
Don't you understand the rules of Gomoku? No problem, I can explain it to you more clearly—
Once my five Yin Thunder Chains are in a line, I win; you can also use something similar as pieces, and you win if you get five in a line; also...
My Gui Water Yin Lightning is a bit unstable.
Be a little more careful when you go down...
Upon hearing this...
Ji Qiu's forehead was covered in beads of sweat.
Although he was Martial Artist Ascension-grade.
But where would he be so wealthy as to use a tool of the level of Gui Water Yin Lightning for playing chess? For now, he could only randomly pick a black tool.
He got up in a panic.
The members of the Elite Squad witnessed this scene.
On the contrary, some of them were reluctant to leave.
They wanted to stand by and watch.
Upon seeing this.
Roger's face immediately hardened. "Are you going or not? If you don't go, I'm going to get physical!"
Upon hearing this, everyone...
That's how they rediscovered their goal.
They are now each displaying their abilities.
Work in small teams.
They covered each other as they made their way towards the next platform!
"These guys..."
Watching their cautious departing figures.
Roger couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, "They're so worried I'll steal their enemy."
Ji Qiu, sweating profusely, replied:
No.
"Everyone has great respect for the Sect Master..."
Roger nodded thoughtfully.
His gaze swept quickly across the platform in front of him—
These platforms are independent of each other.
But they can also support each other.
According to the data section, these platforms are actually 'boats' belonging to the Astral White Whale.
Because there were too many sampans.
The number of Black Blood Soldier units stationed on each sampan was not very large.
As long as you don't cause too much of a commotion.
The Elite Squad outnumbered the enemy.
In the early stages, we can definitely achieve good results.
As for what follows—
We'll see how things go from here.
Despite the urge to play.
But Roger held back.
It was agreed that this was for the underlings to practice on.
He can't steal the monster's kill!
Lost in thought.
The most agile Martial Artist have already reached the edge of the next sampan.
There.
About 30 members of the Black Blood Soldier were resting in the camp.
The sneak attack was about to succeed.
Who knew that at this very moment...
A strong sense of unease surged through Roger's heart! In an instant.
A notification like this flashed across the data panel.
"Fellowship Recruitment: The ' Injured Wolf ' from the Void of the Shadow Realm has responded to your recruitment."
But you need to show them absolute dominance in the Slaughter Domain! In the next 3 minutes.
Please personally kill as many enemies as possible (killing by servants or subordinates does not count).
The more enemies you kill.
The number of clans recruited this time is also greater.
"Ah, this..."
In a daze.
Roger's gaze pierced through the uneven chessboard.
He saw a pair of indifferent yet crazed eyes!
Beneath those eyes.
It has a long, large gray tail.
That was a magical creature from the Shadow Realm—
' The Injured Wolf!' Roger stared at it intently for a moment.
It was also spying on Roger!
"Hint: After the countdown ends, please begin your killing spree... Countdown begins, 10, 9, 8..."
"Why did they suddenly appear at this time!"
Roger was in turmoil! "Family Recruitment (Slaughter Domain)" is a random feat Roger gains after his Slaughter Authority Rank reaches 0.4! However, this feat does not take effect immediately.
Roger chose to recruit after that.
There was no movement for a long time.
I didn't expect it to suddenly appear now.
Under such circumstances.
Where can he find enough enemies to start his killing spree?
The countdown is about to end.
Roger's gaze began to focus on the platform not far away! Because his movements were too obvious.
Even Ji Qiu, who was concentrating intently, noticed it! He looked at Roger hesitantly:
"Sect Master..."
"Your expression doesn't seem right."
Roger's face stiffened, and he chuckled awkwardly, "Qiu..."
"I have a friend."
"He's itching to get his hands dirty."
Ji Qiu stared at Roger in utter shock.
The latter suddenly changed.
Its form transformed into a cloaked man draped in jet black.
Immediately afterwards.
The cloaked man transformed into a sky full of crows and flew away! Before Ji Qiu could even react...
The Red Moon Ghost King, standing nearby, huffed and puffed as he walked over.
He took Roger's place and gave Ji Qiu a wink.
He was signaled to continue playing chess.
"Notification: You have activated ' Second Form: Raven Saint '"
"You have consumed one bottle of ' Titan Concoction,' breaking the shackles within you. The Raven Saint can now use the power of 'Qi'..."
Current Form: Feast of Crows
Above the Sky.
Beneath the beluga whale.
A flock of ridiculously large crows suddenly flew wildly over the heads of the Martial Artist.
To their utter astonishment.
The crows swept across the Black Blood Soldier's camp like a death storm—
Swish! Swish! Swish! After three entries and exits.
A thick aura of death began to emanate from the barracks.
Taking advantage of the raven storm, they hurriedly moved to the next platform.
The Elite Squad members rushed into the camp.
They only did a cursory inspection.
His expression changed to surprise and sorrow!
The Black Blood Soldier, which was just moments ago so vivid and lifelike.
They had now turned into peaceful corpses lying on the ground.
"What is that thing?!"
Someone asked in surprise.
Some people looked back thoughtfully.
However, it is within sight.
The Sect Master and Vice Sect Master Ji seemed to still be engrossed in playing chess.
The former does not appear to have any intention of interfering in this matter.
With the blessing of "Titan Concoction".
The size of the Raven has increased by about 100%.
But most importantly, the "Refining Poison into Evil" specialty was activated.
All the Dark Ravens had a layer of something similar to "Myriad Poison Qi" flowing across their bodies.
This made the spread of A'Bao Poison Evil even more unstoppable!
The Raven Saint was originally in his Second Form, which was almost invincible under the upgraded state.
The members of the Black Blood Soldier were not bad either.
However, they are in a state of being ambushed.
Secondly, their numbers were completely suppressed by the Dark Raven Storm.
Therefore, the only option left was to await execution! In just 3 minutes...
The Raven Storm swept back and forth between "Transit Station 3" and "Sky-Air Corridor" like a giant broom.
The Elite Squad members, who were always late, didn't even get to taste the exhaust fumes.
They were dismayed to discover that not a single member of the Black Blood Soldier remained alive in their field of vision!
Something's not right!
Among Martial Artist, there are also wise ones. "These crows did not attack us."
"Furthermore, the method of swarming like locusts, leaving no survivors, is just too much like the Sect Master's style!"
Everyone immediately came to their senses.
After quickly clearing out the spoils from the camp, one by one...
They all rushed towards the platform where Roger was.
"Notification: In the past 3 minutes, you have successfully killed 916 members of the Black Blood Soldier. Your killing skills have been recognized by the ' Injured Wolf ' clan and have reached the level of 'Reverence'."
"Familia Recruitment: You have acquired 9 Familias (Injured Wolf)"
"Injured Wolf (LV99/Elite): A shadowy creature without a physical form, invisible to the naked eye. The Injured Wolf possesses abilities such as 'reconnaissance', 'patrol', 'combat', and 'substitute'."
"Reconnaissance: The Injured Wolf possesses over 600 points in reconnaissance skill and a full set of stealth modules. It can spy on and monitor the enemy's every move through the Shadow Realm."
"Patrol: The Injured Wolf is good at patrolling specific territories and serves as a preventative alarm."
"Combat: The Injured Wolf cannot directly attack enemies, but it can attack the enemy's shadow."
Each time the shadow is injured by the ' Injured Wolf ', the enemy's Defense Value decreases by 10%.
This effect can accumulate up to 80%.
"Substitute Death: Every member of your clan is prepared to die in your place. When your death index is 8 or below, you can designate a Injured Wolf to die in your place."
Then your original body will be resurrected in the Shadow Realm.
"That's really good..."
Roger looked with delight at the nine loyal wolf cubs that had appeared at his feet.
After carefully reviewing the attributes.
A thought struck him, and he pointed to the distant "Sky-Air Corridor" and gave the order to "reconnoiter"!
The nine Injured Wolf immediately vanished from their spot.
Immediately afterwards.
Roger's field of vision was suddenly filled with small screens! These small screens were similar to surveillance cameras.
Roger can switch screens at any time.
at the same time.
A large amount of reconnaissance information was fed back from the wolf pack's field of vision.
Hint: You have discovered 10,000+ ' Astral Goblin '
"You've discovered the 'Knight of Light's' secret chamber."
"You've discovered the trap of the 'gate of death'"
Very soon.
Roger then obtained almost all the information about the vicinity of the Sky-Air Corridor!
Roger was thrilled by this level of reconnaissance efficiency.
They are also full of confidence in the actions to come.
There are these shadow creatures that can grant full map vision.
His confidence in sweeping away the Astral White Whale grew even stronger.
Apart from the nine ' Injured Wolf '.
Roger's recent sweep also allowed him to acquire 362 Talent Shards, 244 Empathy Shard, and 610 Constitution Shard.
If the nearby Skiff District hadn't been completely looted.
He really couldn't resist continuing to clean.
But then I thought about it again.
He then transformed into Lone Ranger and returned to Roger's side.
Beside the 'chess game' at this moment.
The leader of the Elite Squad is reporting on the 'abnormality' that has just occurred.
"... We were just about to make a move."
Who knew a flock of strange crows would come from the west!
Those crows were ruthless; they killed them all in one go!
The man said.
He secretly glanced at Roger and Ji Qiu with suspicion.
Roger smiled without saying a word.
Ji Qiu rebuked him with a stern face:
"Isn't it normal for a flock of crows to fly by in the sky?"
"What kind of look is that?"
"You won't suspect that I've secretly cultivated the Raven Dharma Form, will you? The Four Symbols Style doesn't use that method!"
"As for the Sect Master, he's been playing chess with me the whole time, haven't you all seen that?"
Everyone looked at him with disbelief.
Enraged, Ji Qiu slapped his thigh repeatedly on the spot. "I, Ji Qiu, have always been upright and honest..."
"How could I possibly break my promise? I swear to God today that Lord Roger and I did not steal from your enemies!"
These words were spoken.
The crowd was slightly moved.
They all showed apologetic expressions.
Ji Qiu waved wearily:
"First, let's thoroughly clean up the battlefield."
"Since such strange crows have appeared here, there may be other dangers."
"We must not be careless."
Everyone obeyed the order and retreated.
At present.
The platforms below the Sky-Air Corridor were soon filled with the busy figures of the Elite Squad members.
Until everyone left.
Ji Qiu looked at ' Roger ' with sweat pouring down his face.
The latter flew into the Crimson Moon Blade in a flash.
His original spot was taken by a cloaked man.
"Well done."
Roger, in his Lone Ranger mode, praised her earnestly.
Ji Qiu forced a smile, "Then could you please remove this Formless Sword from my neck?"
Roger snapped his fingers.
The Formless Sword returned to his palm without a sound.
"Sorry, I almost forgot."
Roger rubbed his hands together, looking apologetic. "This is my first time threatening someone, I'm not very skilled."
Ji Qiu was utterly speechless.
These days of close interaction.
Gradually.
He discovered that the Sect Master was completely different from what he had imagined! For example, these words.
Is this something a human being could say?
Therefore, Ji Qiu's aggrieved little eyes were full of distrust.
Upon seeing this.
Roger said seriously:
"I'm not kidding you, I rarely threaten people."
"Usually, when I encounter someone who needs to be threatened, I just cut them down with one blow."
Ji Qiu:
"..."
The two people over here are talking.
Suddenly.
Roger sensed something and glanced in the direction of the "Checkpoint".
A tall figure appeared outside the Checkpoint.
In the blink of an eye.
Roger only saw a pair of sinister eyes!
"Get out of the way!"
He roared at Ji Qiu.
at the same time.
Roger himself also lunged forward on the spot.
They dodged the most intense burst of that instant-cast spell! Boom! Boom! Boom! A skull pattern appeared on the ground near the chessboard.
Immediately afterwards.
Three scorching waves of air rose up one after another!
Between the air currents.
And a devilish claw shot into the sky.
It seemed they wanted to tear their target to shreds!
A terrifying Tai Bo suddenly erupted on the platform.
It instantly attracted everyone's attention!...
"11th Ring Spell: Ekron's Grasping Hand!"...
"Notification: You have been ambushed by ' Archmage Monroe ', and your health has decreased by 54%..."
After the chaos.
Roger stood up silently.
Ji Qiu is in much better condition than him.
Firstly, Roger was the primary target of this attack.
Secondly, the foundation of Martial Artist Ascension-grade is already there.
Even this kind of magic is known for its lethality.
It did not have a particularly serious impact on Ji Qiu.
Roger, on the contrary, looked weak.
This filled Ji Qiu with shock and anger.
"Hahaha..."
A nervous laugh came from above them, "It's just a little test."
"And this is also a small response to your undeclared war."
"Listen, you despicable Martial Artist, the Astral White Whale is now our Salvation Society's territory. Your acts of offense will surely bring you death..."
"But now I've decided to give you a chance."
"Kneel down and beg for mercy!"
"I'll just... never mind... Your eyes betrayed your intentions. I guess you're determined to keep going until you hit a brick wall?"
"Then... die!"
After saying the last sentence.
The somewhat neurotic eccentric suddenly raised the staff in his hand!
In complete darkness.
The wine-red light on the staff shone as brightly as a blood moon.
Suddenly.
Above the Sky-Air Corridor.
An evil force is rampaging.
Accompanied by the strange man's rapid chanting of incantations.
One by one, dark figures emerged from the "sewers" of the corridor!
The figures of those dark figures looked very deformed.
Their limbs were unusually long, their chests and bellies bulged, and they moved like zombies, yet they possessed a ferocious, savage nature!
"Insight: You have discovered that Archmage Monroe used ' Greater Demon Domination '."
"Monster Domination: Monroe summons a massive army of Astral Goblin..."
"Prepare for battle!"
They watched as the goblin army, like a flood, surged down the slide down the corridor.
Ji Qiu roared hoarsely.
Roger, on the other hand, remained unfazed and blended into the crowd.
Very soon.
The Elite Squad members organized a series of defensive lines in the Skiff District.
Used to fight against that astonishingly large army of monsters!
Seeing this scene.
A strange light flashed in the strange man's eyes.
However, a few seconds later.
He scoffed.
The figure gradually disappeared behind the gate.
The Belly of the End.
Pool of Destruction.
"How are you? Do you need any help?"
A dry, guttural voice came from above.
Monroe was all too familiar with that annoying voice.
That was the voice of Sword Saint Othello.
"No need."
Monroe said proudly:
"The Martial Artist of the Northern Continent have disappointed me. Perhaps I shouldn't have believed Vilan's boasts..."
"He actually told me that the sect leader of the Clear Spring Sect is Spell Resistance?"
"Heh... it's because his level is too low!"
The withered voice asked coldly, "Vilan has never been known for its rank."
"However, his insight is rarely wrong..."
Othello impatiently interrupted Monroe:
"55%!"
"His Magic Resistance is 55%! I just tested it! There's no mistake! It's just that Vilan is too weak, and the expedition used a degraded version of the projection..."
"But we're colleagues after all, I'll help him get revenge this time."
Monroe confidently gave his assurance.
Upon hearing this...
Othello's tone also sounded much more reassuring:
"That's good."
"Things are going very smoothly on our end as well."
"The Holy Sword has been found."
"It's very weak right now, probably only at the peak of the transcendent level. It would be a waste of its potential for Johnny and me to capture it together..."
Their voices gradually faded into the darkness.
And below the Sky-Air Corridor.
Roger, hidden among the crowd, quietly opened the data panel.
"It's time to show those Quinanites what Mystra's hospitality is all about..."
Thinking this way.
The data column suddenly changed.
"Resistance Mastery: Your Magic Resistance has been adjusted to 100%!"
Almost at the same time.
"The Belly of the End: The Shattered Dungeon"
A deep voice slowly sounded in Vera and Qin's ears:
"It's time to let those Quinanites experience the hospitality of Mystra."
"Hehehe..."
"Those two idiots probably really think that all I have is superhuman strength!"
Are you all ready?
