A Bountiful Harvest and Story Weapons

The viewers in front of their screens watched the brutal, bloody scene in shock. By the end, the Dawn Divine Sword had long since ceased to exist, leaving only a mass of bright red mosaic inside the dragon's jaws.

In the lounge, the streamer and staff were silent. Wang Ziheng stood there in stunned disbelief, staring at the mutilated Black Dragon on the screen and the blood trickling from the corner of its mouth, unsure how to feel.

"Young Master, should we shut down the stream first?" the supervisor suddenly asked quietly from the side.

Since the Midnight Arcane God had gone offline, nearly everyone watching this battle of the century had gathered in Mo Fei's stream.

The cruel and bloody footage was being broadcast from a first-person perspective.

Although it had been mosaicked, it was still somewhat too gory.

Wang Ziheng froze when he heard that. Looking at the scene on the screen, he suddenly seemed to realize something. "Don't turn it off. This is perfect."

But in the game, everything was far from over...

[World Announcement: In Sky Era 1437, the human hero Dawn Divine Sword fell in battle against Black Dragon Lord Mephisto, dying in the Dark Dragon Nest. This event has been recorded in the Sky Annals.

With all heroes and adventurers who had set out to slay the evil dragon dead, the "Ballad of the Dragon-Slaying Heroes" campaign has come to an end. Black Dragon Lord Mephisto once again defeated the heroes who came to challenge him. His infamy became known throughout the world, and the shadows of fear and death completely enveloped the entire Torrentkeep Kingdom and the surrounding lands...]

[System Notification: Since you have become a World Boss, you have obtained 1 Template Evolution Point. Please choose the direction of your template evolution.]

The successive system notifications gradually brought Mo Fei back to his senses.

The blood-red haze before his eyes slowly faded. He felt as if he had just awakened from a terrifying nightmare. He had watched the entire process of himself brutally killing the Dawn Divine Sword, every word he had said and every action he had taken vividly clear.

It seemed to have been his own doing, yet at the same time, it felt as though he had been possessed by a ghost. It did not feel like something done by his own hand.

He looked at his dragon claws and felt the surging power within him, but a wave of lingering fear rose in his heart. What the hell had happened?

For a period of time, he had truly regarded himself as a Black Dragon, a monster struggling desperately for survival in the face of death. He stood there blankly, replaying what had just happened.

Was it the effect of Death Berserk?

He was not sure. If it really had been caused by Death Berserk, why had there been no such change at the beginning...

The viewers in front of their screens stared curiously at the Black Dragon Lord, who stood there dumbfounded. What's wrong with him? Why isn't he talking? Before long, however, everyone came up with their own theories.

[Dragon Bro is probably studying what he got this time.]

[Definitely. Dragon Bro made a killing this round. Two Gold-tier heroes—how much good stuff must they have dropped?]

[I bet Dragon Bro is about to rank up. The first World Boss among players—awesome.]

[Holy shit, Dragon Bro was way too savage just now. It was like watching Animal Planet.]

[Dawn Divine Sword was too miserable. He was clearly about to win...]

[Something feels off. Why did this boss fight feel so strange? I can't put my finger on it, but that boss battle just now felt weird.]

Mo Fei finally snapped out of it. He knew this was not the time to stand around spacing out. There were still plenty of things waiting for him to do.

The first was collecting the loot. Although he had suffered considerable losses this time, nearly all the monster servants in the entire instance had been killed, and all four of his monster leader subordinates had been wiped out.

The resources he had accumulated over the past few months had practically been swept away. While he could regain them through Infamy, the loss was still substantial and would take a great deal of time to make up for.

But the gains were equally impressive. There were over a dozen Purple items among the drops, along with dozens of Blue items. This adventurer team truly deserved to be called a top-tier team bold enough to challenge a story campaign. Every piece of equipment they had was excellent, and even the lesser dropped items could sell for tens of thousands.

But the truly good stuff had come from the two heroes.

There were even two story equipment items among them.

[Dragon-Slaying Greatsword (Greatsword/Legendary)

(Story Weapon: One of a Kind)

Attack Power: 100–200.

Equipment Requirement: Strength 50.

Durability: 785/1000.

Weapon Effect 1: Dragon-Slaying. Deals 50% additional damage to dragon-type monsters.

Weapon Effect 2: Execution. Has a higher chance of landing a Critical Strike when attacking Large or Huge targets.

Weapon Effect 3: Unyielding Iron. Can be used as a shield to block enemy attacks.

Weapon Effect 4: Fortification. Weapon durability increased by 500%, making it harder to damage.

Weapon Effect 5: Armor Break. Ignores 500 points of the target's armor when attacking.

Item Description: A weapon forged by the legendary dwarven blacksmith Firebeard · Savagehammer. Because it was too heavy for ordinary people to wield, it ultimately became a collector's item until it was acquired by the Legendary Hero Soladin the Great. Legend had it that during the founding of the Arathor Empire, Soladin the Great used this sword to slay multiple dragons. Thus, it came to be known as the Dragon-Slaying Greatsword.]

No wonder it had been so powerful. A Legendary weapon with five effects, and a story item at that... Mo Fei felt a surge of relief. Fortunately, it had not hit any vital spot.

[Flame Lord's Scepter (Two-Handed Staff/Epic)

(Story Weapon: One of a Kind)

Attack Power: 55–95.

Spell Power: +45.

Equipment Requirements: Strength 14, Intelligence 30.

Durability: 195/200.

Weapon Effect 1: Flame Demon's Power. Increases the power of your fire skills by 50%.

Weapon Effect 2: Surging Fire. Increases your mana recovery speed by 50%. When your mana falls below 10%, mana recovery is doubled.

Weapon Effect 3: Summon Elemental Servant. Randomly summons a fire elemental servant from the Fire Elemental Plane to serve you. Has a low chance to summon a greater elemental and an extremely low chance to summon an elemental elder. Cooldown: 60 minutes.

Item Description: A powerful staff forged using the elemental core of a Flame Demon Lord. It contains the Flame Demon Lord's terrifying power of fire. It was said that Flame Demons were Fire Elementals who had fallen after worshipping the Flame Evil God. Their evil nature altered their outward forms, causing them to be mistaken for a type of demon.]

This weapon was slightly weaker than the Dragon-Slaying Greatsword, but it was still incredibly powerful. For spellcasting classes in particular, it was undoubtedly a top-tier treasure.

Besides that, there was no shortage of other fine equipment: the Midnight Arcane God's robe, various magical accessories, magic scrolls, and potions from his inventory.

Dawn Divine Sword had dropped the Barbarian King's Battleaxe and the Giant-Smasher Hammer. On top of that, the guy had even dropped a Royal Guard Greatsword, a Golden War Halberd, and more than a dozen top-tier potions. It seemed Dawn Divine Sword had truly spared no expense in preparing for this story campaign. But now they all belonged to Mo Fei. Although these weapons were not story weapons, they were still Epic Tier Purple items. Selling them for tens of thousands would not be a problem.

His orb had been a top-tier item too, but unfortunately, it had exploded.

That was the benefit of a story campaign. Losing meant being stripped clean, but winning meant soaring straight to the heavens.

Although the profit from this equipment was enormous, it did not mean much to Mo Fei beyond giving him more money. After all, Dragonkind could not equip gear. At most, these items could be sold or used to improve his drop pool.

His greatest gain was still the increase in his boss rank.
