Ye Shuangluo gripped “Mortal Kill” in one hand and slashed down hard with [Mortal Kill] in the other.
Crack!
The “Mortal Kill,” which had held firm in White Ghost Lord’s hand, broke with a sound.
After killing White Ghost Lord, Ye Shuangluo carefully examined the opponent’s equipment.
The silver armor was indeed impressive, comparable to his [Blood Demon Armor].
“Mortal Kill” was also quite good; he had to use the real one to slash more than ten times before breaking it.
As for the pendant around his neck, Ye Shuangluo observed it carefully and, after thorough verification and consideration, concluded that it was just a decoration.
To be honest, watching “himself” come up with such ideas was somewhat novel for Ye Shuangluo.
Of course, he definitely didn’t want to try it himself.
With the battle over, he finally had time to check the system notification that had just arrived.
[Congratulations on mastering the skill: Rage of Fire LV.1]
[Skill Type: Active Skill]
[Special Effect: Undying Heart Flame (Rage as fuel, body as furnace, unending rage, undying heart flame. Fire Element Resistance +20)]
[Skill Experience: 5/1000]
[Evaluation: It suits you well, and you probably understand why]
…
Rage as fuel, huh.
Ye Shuangluo pondered, suddenly activating [Asura Demon Eye].
His ink-black eyes were once again stained with blood, but this time, they weren’t consumed by battle intent as before.
So that’s how it is?
Ye Shuangluo deactivated [Asura Demon Eye]; the system had warned him before he learned it.
[Learning this skill may cause certain personality changes in the player, such as impulsiveness, irritability, brutality, and cruelty.]
Indeed, after mastering [Asura Demon Eye], his personality had become much more brutal and cruel than before.
Every time he activated it in battle, he wanted to chop all his enemies to pieces.
And once the battle dragged on, he would gradually become irritable.
Now, with Rage of Fire, he no longer needed to worry about the side effects of [Asura Demon Eye].
Ye Shuangluo closed the skill panel and eagerly opened the talent interface.
[Congratulations on achieving: Lone Hero]
[Reward Received: Battle Spirit Totem]
After claiming the reward, a stream of light suddenly rushed into his body, and he felt a burning sensation on his forehead.
Ye Shuangluo immediately conjured an ice mirror to look at his forehead.
Where it was once smooth, there was now a blue lotus tattoo.
He quickly opened the skill panel to check the reward he had just received.
[Battle Spirit Totem LV.1]
[Skill Type: Permanent Buff]
[Effect: The enemy’s fear is the Battle Spirit Totem’s favorite food. By continuously fighting and offering more fear, the Battle Spirit Totem will grant you formidable strength. Current buff: Life Unending, Battle Unceasing (Each of your attacks deals an additional 1% of your current Health Points as damage.)]
[Offering Value: 1/]
[Evaluation: The Battle Spirit Totem is a special talent that only the most outstanding newborns of a mysterious race can awaken. In that mysterious race, once the Battle Spirit Totem is awakened, they are thrown into various dangerous predicaments. Either die in these predicaments or overcome them, becoming fearless of death and enjoying battle.]
…
This was Ye Shuangluo’s first encounter with a permanent buff-type skill, and it seemed powerful, with a promising future.
High EQ: Promising future
Low EQ: Useless for now
Ye Shuangluo shook his head but suddenly heard the sound of kneeling all around him.
It turned out that the time for the Ghost Legion had ended, and the Wraith Soldiers disappeared by the hundreds and thousands.
In the end, only Ghost Legion Commander Xiao Shan remained in the present world.
Xiao Shan looked at him with a face full of reverence and said in the most respectful tone:
“I will temporarily take my leave, and I eagerly await our next meeting, Your Highness.”
Ye Shuangluo looked at the nearly hundred thousand Wraith Soldiers and fell into silence.
1/, who knows when they’ll be summoned again.
Finally, Xiao Shan looked coldly at Silver, who stood beside Ye Shuangluo.
“I hope that in my absence, you can protect His Highness.”
Silver, not holding back, retorted directly:
“You don’t need to say that; I will naturally defend His Highness’s honor and dignity with my life.”
“Hmph, I hope so.”
Xiao Shan’s body slowly faded, eventually turning into a cloud of black mist and disappearing.
Ye Shuangluo looked at Silver, who showed disdain, and curiously asked:
“You’re also a member of the Ghost Legion, and Xiao Shan is the commander. Is it really okay to talk to your superior like that?”
Facing Ye Shuangluo’s inquiry, Silver changed from his previous arrogance and respectfully replied:
“I am a member of His Highness’s personal guard, directly loyal to His Highness. As for Xiao Shan? Hmph.”
It seemed like he said nothing, yet everything was said.
Ye Shuangluo nodded, roughly understanding the situation.
He also recalled Silver into [Pluto] and was about to activate spatial teleportation to leave when White Ghost Lord’s corpse suddenly emitted a bright light.
Ye Shuangluo immediately stopped what he was doing and used the Wind Element to lift White Ghost Lord’s body.
A white orb of light fell from his body.
With a thought, Ye Shuangluo summoned a fierce wind, blocking others’ view with countless grains of sand.
[World Essence 14.7%]
[Item Description: This is a precious World Essence. With it, you can make a wish to the world. Wishes cannot exceed the world’s limits. The higher the difficulty of fulfilling the wish, the more World Essence is required.]
[Detected that a reserve player has obtained World Essence. Would you like to contribute it to the system?]
[Yes/No]
Ye Shuangluo held the “World Essence” in his palm; it had no weight or substance.
“Yes.”
Keeping this thing was useless to him, so he might as well contribute it to the system, hoping for some good rewards.
The “World Essence” in his hand flashed with streams of data, becoming smaller and smaller until it completely disappeared.
Ye Shuangluo stood there for five minutes, waiting, but no reward from the game system came.
So… was he just taken advantage of?
[Rage of Fire experience increased by 1, experience increased by 1, experience increased by 1]
…
“Roar!”
The Nine-Headed Evil Dragon let out an earth-shattering roar, its final cry.
It was the Nine-Headed Evil Dragon, naturally having nine heads, but now it was bare, with only one head left on its neck.
The other eight heads, representing gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, light, and darkness, had long been severed.
And the culprit of all this was the young man standing on its last head.
Ye Shuangluo controlled the “Wind Spirit Wings” to fly, circling the last head of the Nine-Headed Evil Dragon with his blade, successfully chopping it off.
[Congratulations on achieving the challenge: Cute Dragon, No Head]
[Reward Received: 5 Special Attribute Points]
Ye Shuangluo slowly landed on the ground; this was the fourth newly emerged cataclysmic monster.
[World-Class Quest: “Eternal Night Approaches” Progress +1]
[Current Progress: 4/5]
He slowly raised his head and declared righteously:
“I am irreconcilable with monsters. As long as I am here, no monster is to be feared. Please, in the upcoming ‘Ten Days’ election, cast your vote for me. I am candidate number 39, Ye Shuangluo. I assure you all, if I become one of the ‘Ten Days,’ I will not, like my predecessors, consider myself above others. I will continue to be active on the front lines.”
It must be said, Ye Shuangluo’s impassioned campaign speech was quite effective.
Especially coupled with his actions, as he had been fighting in the most severe disaster zones and against the most powerful monsters these past few days.
Countless people were willing to believe in him and vote for him.
As for whether he would act as he said if he became one of the Ten Days?
Certainly not; he was just making grand promises. Once he became one of the “Ten Days” and achieved the challenge, he planned to run away immediately.
(Speaking of which, where is the fifth cataclysmic monster?)
