Blood-Boiling Combination Skill
Just imagine it.
You are a chosen one, a slightly more talented worker than the average person. You joined a large company with decent benefits and the boss is very charismatic, whom you admire.
One day, you finally gain the appreciation of the big boss and are assigned to a delivery task that is almost guaranteed to succeed. The opportunity to stand out and become a manager is right in front of you.
But you ruined everything by trying to satisfy your petty curiosity!
The goods are gone, the boss's appreciation is gone, and my life is about to end!
Losing your life isn't important; what matters is the thought of that highly respected boss you admire showing disappointment upon learning of the mission's failure.
Wow, I don't want to think about that! I don't want to think about it!
I'd rather be dead!
This is Jiede's current mindset.
He was heartbroken and insane; he didn't even notice when Lightning Whirlwind Chop about to strike his face.
The weapons are gone, gone, gone.
"What the hell are you spacing out for?!"
Sipa's roar suddenly changed from a human voice to a deep, hoarse sound, and the fluorite on the rock wall suddenly cast large shadows, as if a giant beast had appeared in this clearing.
A giant beast? Where did this giant beast come from, jumping out of Poké Ball?
"What's that sound?" The adventurers present were about to turn around when they heard the sound, but they were suddenly attacked from Backstab, unable to dodge. As their bodies stiffened, they were finished off by the Exiled Soldiers around them.
The Exiled Knight's twin swords Heavy Chop, the sound of flesh tearing echoing across the open ground. The massive amount of blood loss gave the Exiled Knight a Lunar New Year limited edition skin!
But the blood wasn't Jiede's; it came from a gigantic creature.
It was a green giant, three or four meters tall, with an octopus head.
He crouched down and hugged Jiede tightly, forming a protective shield, while he took the brunt of the powerful blow, his back almost being cleaved in two.
If the scars on his back are Warrior's shame, then this injury should be so shameful that he would commit seppuku at any moment. But these scars were left to protect his comrades, so whether they are shameful or not is a matter for serious debate.
"Cough—" Sipa's voice came from under the octopus. He pushed Jiede away, and several tentacles attacked the Exiled Knight at the same time.
The Exiled Knight, of course, wouldn't sit idly by and wait to die; he put on a thrilling battle between the Twin-Sword Shrimp and the Tentacle Monster.
Jiede was shoved and snapped out of his daze. Looking at Sipa's mutated body, he exclaimed, "How did you transform here!"
"Nonsense! How am I supposed to save you if I don't transform?" Sipa roared. "Now that you're awake, stop standing there like an idiot and come help! Look at the trouble you've caused! Let's hurry back and find some weapons!"
That's right, since the weapons are lost, let's hurry back and find them!
He snapped out of his daze and turned to look at the exit of the open space behind him. Unfortunately, once the battle began, the area would be shrouded in an impenetrable fog, making it impossible for anyone to enter or leave. The only way out was to defeat the leader of the place.
Without the Teleportation Crystal and weapons, the upcoming battle would truly be a fight to the death, so he could not hesitate for a moment. He immediately took off the necklace hidden inside his clothes, and hanging on it was undoubtedly a round Fallen Devil Egg!
Clenching the Fallen Devil Egg, his body immediately mutated and grew larger, appearing somewhat more normal Sipa, except for the appearance of Minotaur covered in fish scales.
Isn't this just a simple case of using Fallen Devil Egg to become half-human, half-demon? Just like the humans who were transformed into demons by Doslai Bo and the Frog Head before.
No, the Fallen Devil Egg used by these two Light Eagle Legion mercenaries are different from those provided by the demons. They look the same, but their auras after transformation are completely different.
They were more like demons, violent and ferocious, yet they retained a certain degree of rationality, completely lacking the demonic aura of the demon race.
What they used was something that looked similar on the outside but was completely different on the inside!
"Then."
Jiede tossed a bottle of bright red potion to Sipa, who bit it and crushed it. His injuries healed at a visible speed, and his body became stronger.
That's Blood Therapy Potion!
"Go, Sipa!" Jiede stomped his feet, making the ground rumble, and charged at the Exiled Knight with a savage ramming. Sipa also unleashed several sticky tentacles.
Let's go! This is our Blood-Boiling Combination Skill!
Just before crashing into the Exiled Knight, Jiede looked at Sipa, who, despite having an octopus head, still showed trust in his companion and the burning passion to unleash Combined Attack Technique.
Both sides laughed. In that instant, they suddenly realized that losing their weapons wasn't such a big deal. At least they didn't need to act like they were going to die. They could search for them after defeating the enemy in front of them. Even if they couldn't find them...
"Jiede, my dear family, it's easy for you to complete the mission with your abilities, but if there's even a one in ten thousand chance that you will fail, don't be discouraged. The most important thing is that you and Sipa return to my side alive."
The commander's gentle and kind voice suddenly rang in Jiede's mind, which filled him with confidence, and he fixed his gaze on the Exiled Knight.
It was at this moment that he suddenly noticed something different.
Has the Exiled Knight's body become a little transparent? He was clearly a real person wearing heavy armor before, but now he seems like a spirit.
A powerful melody rang out, and the Exiled Knight transformed into the number one expert in Sol City!
"Snort!"
The Exiled Knight jumped up, grabbed the two men's heads, and slammed them together violently!
"Weapons? What an amazing concept. It feels so much like the comics I used to read."
Gong Qiying examined the precious pearl in front of him. This pearl was the true form of the weapon "Windwalker," while the armlet was merely a convenient accessory for carrying it.
"It's just that sacrifices sound a bit evil. It's not surprising that weapons derived from demon king Divine Artifact have such requirements, but it's strange to put them on the shoulders of Brave."
He shook his head, then hugged the Gengar, which was sticking out its tongue, and rubbed it hard for a while. Both of them laughed with satisfaction.
The next second, Gong Qiying suddenly appeared behind Gengar, then ran around the room, stirring up a strong wind in the Lord's room.
Jiede's sacrifice has filled this weapon with energy, and even Gong Qiying can use it at will. He even has a feeling that after turning into the wind, he can activate this weapon and create a hurricane that sweeps across half of Bede City!
He suddenly fell silent.
"It doesn't feel as good as Steel Dragon."
The thought of how incredibly powerful the monsters in his own dungeon calmed his newly aroused excitement.
He knew this wasn't the weapon at its full power; after all, it was a gold-quality weapon in this world, and it was definitely more than that.
"How many years of unknown history does this world have? How many weapons like these exist?"
Jiede, armed with weapons, can already easily defeat most of the monsters in the dungeon. What about stronger people? What if this weapon became more widely available?
"Stop, or I'll be fighting against thin air."
Gong Qiying thought of the two people from earlier. The reason he knew about the weapon settings was because the two of them had been chatting the whole way.
Thanks to Jiede's nagging, he now knows the details of the weapon's design and that the two of them are going to give the weapon to a certain person, who will then engage in a battle with the Sword Saint Gapar.
I see. No wonder Jia Paer left. But you stayed in the Zane Dungeon for so long and then stood him up for almost a month. Is that really okay?
Gong Qiying initially thought that the Sword Saint was going to have a sword duel in the style of Ancient Dragon, but when he saw Jiede and Sipa transform with the Fallen Devil Egg in hand, he thought that it must be those idle demons causing trouble.
But why would the demons openly invite the Sword Saint to a duel? That seems very strange.
Moreover, Jiede and Sipa's transformation gave him a feeling different from the demons he had seen before, so he wanted to capture the two of them alive first and then use some means to extract information. Therefore, he ordered the Exiled Knight to reduce their efforts to capture them alive.
After all, if he didn't give the order, these two men would be killed by the Exiled Knight.
But Sipa did something unexpected: he threw his Teleportation Crystal to Jiede and then suddenly self-destructed!
It exploded in a second, giving no one time to react!
The explosion affected the entire battlefield of the Exiled Knight, even engulfing Jiede, who was killed in the blast.
Now that he has obtained the Teleportation Crystal, he should be teleported to the Resurrection Room after his death, with his companions sacrificing themselves to protect him. That should be fine, right?
"."
Gong Qiying looked at the remaining half of Jiede's corpse on the ground and the unactivated Teleportation Crystal, and muttered to himself:
"This is a huge problem."
For some reason, the Teleportation Crystal did not recognize Jiede after his transformation as the teleportation target!
Why is it that the Teleportation Crystal works on Da Er's giant wolf and the Beastmaster's battle pets, but it doesn't work on Jiede?
Whatever the strange reasons behind it, he failed to capture the two men, but he still gained a considerable amount of experience.
Having acquired the weapon was one thing, but after learning that Jia Paer was going to have a final battle with an unknown character, he felt that he shouldn't remain inactive.
No matter how you look at it, Jiede and his group's transformations are quite bizarre, suggesting they're not a good organization, and might even be connected to the Demon Clan, that troublemaking honey badger.
The old swordsman was an acquaintance of Sion's, and had contributed nearly five figures' worth of Spirit Power to Sion over the years; he was a high-quality customer.
Objectively speaking, the dungeon should remain neutral, but subjectively, Gong Qiying doesn't want Jia Paer to die; if he's going to die, he wants him to die in the dungeon.
"Thinking about it carefully, the Sword Saint's level has just skyrocketed, and he also has the Stars Linked Sword. I can't imagine how strong anyone could be to defeat him. I guess his opponent didn't expect him to become so much stronger in just one month."
"So I don't need to give him the supermodel Wheelchair Weapons. Hmm, just give him a life-saving item."
"Also, Geralt's body should be thrown outside and deliberately found by people. Since this weapon is intended for use by the Sword Saint's opponent, the Sword Saint should know about sacrifices. Throwing it out will serve as a reminder to him."
The next day, someone discovered unidentified bloodstains in a secluded grove outside Bede City. Following the trail of blood, Geralt and the bodies of another adventurer were found.
At the same time, Jia Paer, who had entered the Zane Dungeon to say goodbye to the Undead Legion before leaving, killed a Treasure Chest Monster and picked up a potion from it.
