Demonic Artifact Unsealed, Famous Sword Born

"Brother Feng, can we really beat this Kobold leader?" Looking at the Kobold leader, Heizi lacked any confidence. Setting aside its terrifying HP, the giant axe strapped to its back was enough to make anyone shudder; if that axe landed a single blow, one would surely be smashed into a pulp on the spot.

"I don't know." Shi Feng shook his head. Plans could never keep up with changes, and there was no terrain in the entire mine to exploit. To kill the Kobold, they had no choice but to fight head-on.

The Kobold leader was arguably the strongest monster he had encountered at this stage.

If he had enough time to reach level 5 and equip a full set of Bronze gear, he would have an eighty percent chance of killing the Kobold leader. However, the time given to him by the Master Blacksmith Jack was running out. To finish the battle within twenty minutes, only a level 5 elite squad would have a chance.

Yet there were only two of them, and their gear was poor; killing the Kobold in twenty minutes was simply impossible.

But the consequences of failing the quest were severe. This hidden quest was a one-time opportunity; if he failed, he would never be able to accept it again.

Still, giving up the quest was something Shi Feng was even less willing to do.

"I have no choice but to give it a shot." Shi Feng reluctantly took out the magic weapon, Abyssal Walker.

In his previous life, the number of magic weapons Shi Feng had seen with his own eyes could be counted on one hand. Anyone who witnessed the power of a magic weapon would be conquered by it, and those capable of wielding one were even rarer.

Crimson War God had once risen to fame in a guild war involving over a hundred thousand people, forging the glorious War God Empire. At the time, Crimson War God held the blood-red magic weapon, Red Demon Great Axe, and charged into a battalion of thousands of warriors, slaughtering in all directions. Not a single person could block his great axe, and he forced the enemy guild to flee in a pathetic state—truly a case of one man holding the pass, ten thousand unable to open it.

Then there was the Mad Knight, Arrow Chasing Wind, who held the magic weapon Demon Roar. With just one man and one bow, he guarded a city; thousands of players couldn't even get within 100 yards of the city, and he even killed the Lion Guild leader, Zhuo Bufan, with a single arrow from over 100 yards away.

Everyone who mastered a magic weapon was a top-tier expert renowned throughout God's Domain, commanding awe and fear.

System: Do you wish to bind the magic weapon Abyssal Walker?

Shi Feng took a sharp breath and chose to bind it. As for the backlash effects of the magic weapon, he didn't care anymore. Since those people could master magic weapons, how could he, a reincarnator, lose to those "noobs" who hadn't even grown into their potential yet?

The moment the binding was complete, Shi Feng clearly felt all the strength being drained from his body. His level plummeted again and again, instantly dropping to level 0. A moment later, a surge of power flowed through his entire body, feeling even stronger than his physique at level 3.

After checking the attributes of Abyssal Walker, Shi Feng was even more astonished.

Abyssal Walker was a famous sword hand-crafted by the master artisan Osiris using the fangs of the Black Dragon King. It was one of the thirty-six famous swords of God's Domain, ranked thirty-first. However, this sword was cursed by the Black Dragon King; besides bringing the wielder astonishing power, it would backlash against them periodically. If the wielder could not suppress the backlash, they would suffer the Black Dragon King's curse, permanently reducing all attributes by 50%. It cannot be dropped or traded.

Seeing such attributes and so many attached skills, it was practically an artifact. Yet there were thirty-five other famous swords, and Abyssal Walker was only at the bottom of the rankings; it was hard to imagine what the number one famous sword would be like.

"Brother Feng, don't scare me, how did you become level 0?" Heizi, standing to the side, was shocked as he looked at Shi Feng. Dealing with the Kobold leader was already troublesome enough; now that Shi Feng had dropped to level 0, how were they supposed to fight?

"Don't worry. You use your smoke bombs to clear the other mobs first; I'll handle the Kobold leader." Shi Feng pulled up his attribute panel and poured all 6 free attribute points into Agility, bringing it to exactly 20 points. He activated Agile Swiftness; he couldn't wait to test his sword on the Kobold leader.

Character: Ye Feng (Human) Affiliated Kingdom: Star-Moon Title: One Against A Thousand Class: Swordsman Level: 0 HP: 460/460 Attack Power: 72 Defense: 4 Attack Speed: 10 Movement Speed: 8 Attributes: Strength 24, Agility 22, Stamina 22, Intelligence 13, Spirit 13.

System: Strength reached 20 points, unlocking hidden basic skill: Bare-Handed Stone Crushing. Can destroy junk weapons with bare hands. System: Stamina reached 20 points, unlocking hidden basic skill: Robust Physique. Can perform extraordinary actions for extended periods.

The unlocking of the Strength and Stamina hidden skills allowed Shi Feng to unleash the full potential of this body; he was no longer a "three-second hero."

Although he was level 0, his attack power and attributes far exceeded what he had at level 3. His HP was that of a tank, not inferior to a level 5 Shield Warrior, not to mention he had a pile of high-level skills. He could absolutely go toe-to-toe with the Kobold leader.

Just as Shi Feng was adjusting to his body, Heizi cleared out all the surrounding Kobolds, leaving only the Kobold leader.

"Once I draw aggro, you go all out with your damage," Shi Feng instructed, then took a step forward and charged at the Kobold leader.

Wind Chasing Sword!

In the blink of an eye, Shi Feng arrived in front of the Kobold leader. Before the creature could react, two black flashes slashed across its neck. Fresh blood splattered instantly, and the Kobold leader let out a miserable shriek as two terrifying damage numbers popped up over its head.

-63, -128.

The Kobold chieftain reacted, just raising its giant axe, when another sword gleam swept across its unarmored flesh.

Slash!

Another 105 points of damage popped up; the power of a level 4 Slash was truly astonishing.

By the time the giant axe fell, a large crater appeared on the ground, but Shi Feng had already retreated, once again unleashing a level 4 Wind Thunder Flash.

Three violent bolts of lightning pierced through the Kobold chieftain's massive body, dealing -84, -101, and -123 damage respectively.

In just a single exchange, Shi Feng had whittled away over 600 of the Kobold chieftain's HP. Even Shi Feng himself was shocked by the terrifying power of the famous sword, Abyssal Walker.

Meanwhile, Heizi, standing in the distance, was completely stunned.
