"[ Grant ] Skill triggered. Do you wish to activate Frank Lampard's Leo Star Attribute and Grant him the Leo Cloth?"
Three seconds ago, that long-lost, mysterious, and cold voice reappeared in Sun Fei 'Sun Fei mind, and the meaning it conveyed shocked him greatly.
Because Sun Fei had preconceived notions, he had long ago concluded that this mysterious, cold voice was related to the Diablo World, and might even be the voice of the Diablo World's 'system'. However, the sudden mention of 'star attribute' and ' Leo Cloth ' instantly overturned Sun Fei's previous view. Perhaps this voice was indeed related to the Diablo World, but it was not subordinate to the Diablo World. The relationship between the two was more accurately described as 'superior'—the mysterious, cold voice was superior to the Diablo World.
However, at that moment, Sun Fei didn't think much of it; instead, he subconsciously made the answer in his mind—
"Yes!"
Then what happened was exactly what just happened—
Designed by Sun Fei and crafted by the female armored warrior Charsi using [ Demon Remains ] and covered with [ Black Iron Essence ], the black Leo, composed of ninety-six different parts, inexplicably released a dazzling light, floated into the air, and automatically 'wore' onto Lampard's body.
[ Grant ] divine skills?
This is one of the three divine skills that Sun Fei obtained after becoming the supreme leader of the [ Rogue Encampment ].
Sun Fei immediately thought of a possibility. After completing all the quests in the first act of the Diablo World map [ Rogue Encampment ], the rewards he received did indeed include a reminder to upgrade the three major skills: [Learn], [ Grant ], and [ Summon ]. Now it seemed that the so-called upgrade effect far exceeded Sun Fei's expectations. Before the upgrade, Sun Fei could use the [ Grant ] skill to Grant Drogba's Taurus Helmet Grant Pierce's Holy Sword Excalibur. After the upgrade, he could unlock Lampard's 'Star Attribute' and Grant him with the entire Leo Cloth. This explained everything.
boom--!
Lampard, feeling the powerful sensation brought by the Cloth, gently clenched his fist.
The air was slightly moving, as if nothing had happened.
However, Sun Fei and the [ Heng and Ha Generals ] quickly and incredibly discovered that, in the instant Lampard lightly swung his fist, a smooth, huge fist imprint about one meter in diameter appeared on a black fortress twenty meters away from the tower in front of his fist. The cut of the fist imprint was perfectly clean, without even a single crack around it, as if the fist imprint had always existed, rather than being created by an attack.
Then came a low, rumbling sound as if the air was being compressed and exploded.
What incredible punching speed!
Is this the power amplification effect brought about by this Leo Cloth?
Despite having witnessed countless miracles in Sun Fei, Drogba, Pierce, and Warden Oleg Torres were still momentarily stunned into a state of mental blankness. They simply couldn't believe that Lampard's strength had more than doubled after donning this miraculous Cloth. Even more astonishingly, a faint yet powerful force began to envelop him—not a fluctuation of Dou Qi, nor a magical elemental field. This power was profound, serene, ancient, and boundless, as if... as if it were the feeling evoked by the countless stars in the sky.
Sun Fei quickly recovered from his shock.
He realized that the three divine skills he had acquired—[ Summon ], [Learning], and [ Grant ]—were definitely not simple. He stroked his chin, then suddenly drew the longsword that was slung across Torres's waist with lightning speed. With a flick of his wrist, several sword beams shot towards Lampard's arms, chest, waist, thighs, and knees—a ruthless attack.
Lampard, however, stood still without moving.
Even Drogba and the others showed no surprise, because they completely trusted their King.
Clang clang clang clang--!
Mars flew across the pitch-black night sky, dazzling and brilliant.
Clang--!
The longsword in Sun Fei's hand withstood the enormous recoil and finally broke into four pieces, falling to the ground.
"I've used all my strength!" Sun Fei said with a smile.
Despite the immense force of the sword's strike causing even the highly skilled Lampard to stagger back five or six steps, the area where the sword Leo Cloth remained completely unmarked, proving its indestructibility. The sturdiness of the ' Demon Remains ' certainly did not disappoint Sun Fei. Moreover, it was clear that the Cloth's preservation function went beyond simply blocking physical damage; under such a violent impact, it had absorbed sixty to seventy percent of the shockwave, and Lampard showed no sign of strain.
Torres and his three companions had completely lost the ability to think.
The amazing Cloth!
The incredible Cloth!
However, something even more amazing soon happened--
Suddenly, Lampard's arms trembled, and behind him, a faint image of a roaring, angry lion composed of ninety-six stars appeared, incredibly lifelike and mesmerizing. Then, these ninety-six pieces of the Cloth, symbolizing the ninety-six stars, shimmered with dazzling light, detached from Lampard's body and automatically reassembled into the black steel lion he had seen earlier. Immediately afterward, the black iron box, engraved with Golden Lion on all four sides and a king holding a scepter, flew up automatically, encasing the steel lion within. Upon closing, it emitted a burst of black light, ultimately transforming into a ball of black light and disappearing into Lampard's body.
"This... this is Dou Weapon? Frank, you've advanced to the Moon Class expert?"
Seeing this, Torres realized something and couldn't help but cry out in surprise, and the other three were also moved.
In the Azeroth Continent, Star-Rank Warrior and Star Class Mages are merely the foundation. Only after advancing to the Moon Class are they considered to have truly entered the path of cultivation. This is because the cultivation methods of Moon Class are completely different from those of Star-Rank Warrior. After reaching the Nine-Star Class Peak, the amount of Dou Qi and magical power that a human body can contain has reached its limit. It is no longer possible to increase power through storing Dou Qi. Human ancestors developed many other methods, and for warriors, choosing a high-quality weapon that resonates with their soul as their natal Dou Weapon is a very common choice. Moon Class warriors can store their Dou Weapon within their bodies, just as Lampard just stored the Leo Cloth within his body. This is why Torres and the others mistakenly thought the Cloth was Dou Weapon and believed that Lampard had instantly broken through to the terrifying level of Moon Class.
"No, it's just..." Lampard shook his head, "A very strange state, I can't quite put my finger on it."
Sun Fei smiled and changed the subject, "Each constellation's corresponding Cloth is unique, and the materials chosen are extremely precious. Only heroes who have rendered great service to my Kingdom of Chambord can receive their own Cloth. Frank has devoted himself to protecting the King of Chambord for the past three or four years, preventing the royal power from falling into the hands of ambitious villains like Bazel. He also helped me defeat the Black Armor Army and the Nine Kingdoms Allied Army. His merits are outstanding, so I bestowed the Leo Cloth upon Frank. Do you have any objections?"
"Your Majesty's rewards and punishments are fair!" The handsome blond boy Torres, couldn't hide his envy, but it was definitely not jealousy. His eyes burned with fierce fighting spirit. "Sooner or later, I will also perform great deeds for Chambord and obtain my own Cloth!"
"I wholeheartedly agree to Lord Lampard being granted the Holy Cloth." Drogba scratched the back of his head and chuckled.
Pierce and Oleg naturally had no objections. Pierce's life had been snatched from the jaws of death by Sun Fei, while Oleg was once considered by many to be an accomplice of the schemer Bazel. If Sun Fei hadn't used his personal prestige to protect him, his fate would probably not have been much better than that of the military judge Conca. Moreover, these people owed their current strength and status to Sun Fei, and were also bound by the [ Hulk Potion ]. Even if the assassin asked them to die for Sun Fei, they wouldn't hesitate in the slightest, let alone for something like this.
"However, you gentlemen have rendered many merits since following me. Paul, you risked your life to protect Chambord City by shielding it from the enemy's sword and overturning the siege ladders. Didier, facing the formidable array of thousands of elite Black Army soldiers, you joined me in the charge, killing over a hundred enemies and sustaining several wounds. You also distinguished yourselves in the Nine Kingdoms Allied Army War. Today's battle was courageous, with countless enemies killed. You two are worthy of the Cloth reward!"
As Sun Fei spoke, he flipped his hand and took out two iron boxes containing the Cloth from his storage ring.
The iron box opened, revealing on both sides a lifelike and imposing black metal bull and a strong goat with two horns striding forward. Similar to the Leo Cloth previously bestowed upon Lampard, the Taurus Cloth is composed of 125 different parts because the Taurus constellation contains 125 stars, while the Capricorn Cloth constellation contains 50 stars. Each part represents a star of its respective constellation and contains different stellar power.
As Sun Fei responded to the mysterious, cold voice in his mind, he activated the [ Grant ] divine skill, Grant Drogba and Pierce star attributes. The Taurus Cloth and Capricorn Cloth found their respective masters, flew towards the two of them, and attached themselves to them amidst the starlight and flames.
Instantly, the Heng and Ha Generals felt the same powerful and blood-connected feeling that Lampard had experienced before. At the same time, an ancient, profound, ancient, and vast stellar power began to emanate from them. Although it was not obvious, it was definitely there.
"As for the two of you, you have also rendered meritorious service and are entitled to a reward, but not a complete one." Sun Fei shifted his gaze to Torres and Oleg, and gave them corresponding rewards. Torres received the Bow of God, a component of the Sagittarius Cloth, while Oleg received the breastplate and gauntlets of the Cancer Cloth.
The next day.
After the expeditionary force cooked their meal, they prepared to set off amidst the rising smoke.
Led by Lampard and the Heng and Ha Generals ], the miners will return to Chambord City. After obtaining the Cloth of the three constellations, the three's strength has increased terrifyingly, and protecting the miners back home should not be a problem. Meanwhile, Sun Fei and the others will protect the princess and her entourage as they continue towards the capital. They agree to meet six days later on the grasslands outside the capital city, before sunset.
One update today.
Two updates tomorrow.
Because it's Saturday, I have to spend time with my 'boss'.
Thank you to the new friends for joining us.
