Chapter 103: Chapter 86 Unexpected Joy_1


    The Fear Beast is a creature that resembles, but isn’t, a dragon. It looks quite like a dragon, with wings, legs, and a lizard-like body and tail, but it’s not part of the Dragon Race. The Fear Beast is more like an entity reanimated from a mashup of various animal corpses using Necromancy Spells.


    Indeed, though it’s not a dragon, it possesses formidable Strength. Apanied by a furious roar, the Fear Beast descended from the skies, charging at Duanmu Huai and the Metal Secret Dragon beneath him. Its ws struck the Metal Secret Dragon forcefully, causing the creature to tremble violently, yet surprisingly, did not seem to injure it at all.


    Meanwhile, Duanmu Huai raised his Thunder Warhammer.


    At this moment,[Winning With Few Against Many]+[Wrath]+[Psychic Combat]were all activated!


    [Winning With Few Against Many: When surrounded, +60% melee damage]


    [Wrath: Each kill confers 1% Crit Chance and Strength bonus,sting 5 seconds (+150% Crit Chance and Attack Damage)]


    [Psychic Combat: Every 1 point of Subspace Heat increases weapon Attack Damage by 1% (+60% weapon Attack Damage)]


    “Aaaargh!!!”


    Duanmu Huai, roaring furiously, brought down his hammer towards the Fear Beast’s head. In an instant, 270% Attack Damage burst forth!!


    “Bang!!”


    Following the thunderous impact of the Thunder Hammer on the Fear Beast’s head, the undead creature’s cranium exploded like a balloon the next moment. Moreover, its grotesque, massive body started to swell almost simultaneously!


    [Thunder Warhammer: +15% chance of causing enemies to explode upon their death, inflicting area damage equal to 50% of their Life Value (stackable)]


    “Boom!!!!!”


    Although the life value of the Fear Beast is unknown, the resultant explosion swept across the surroundings. The gusts, mixed with the Fear Beast’s putrid blood and splintered remains, rapidly dispersed, instantly knocking out all the Skeleton Soldiers and Army of Zombies in the vicinity.


    Manfred, the Vampire Count, had not expected his cherished Fear Beast to be eliminated in a blink. It shocked him. Without knowing what methods the opponent used, Manfred had already made a decision at this moment.


    That was…… to run!!


    As a Vampire Count, Manfred had quite a wealth of experience in these situations. He wasn’t some idiot who’d lost his mind. Seeing things taking a turn for the worse, running away was the best choice. Therefore, Manfred didn’t hesitate, transforming into a swarm of bats in an instant, and swiftly took to the air.


    Trying to escape?!


    Duanmu Huai came back to his senses and noticed Manfred’s attempt to escape. Despite the explosion of the Fear Beast wiping out the Undead Army in the vicinity and causing Duanmu Huai to react a bitte, by the time he noticed the bald Vampire Count trying to flee, thetter had already changed into a swarm of bats and was soaring into the night sky.


    Of course, Duanmu Huai was not going to let the assant go!


    “Aaargh!!”


    With a thought from Duanmu Huai, the folding wings at both sides of the Metal Secret Dragon were spread wide open immediately. Following a vigorous p, the Metal Secret Dragon leapt high into the air, heading towards the bat swarm. At the same time, Duanmu Huai once again raised his hammer, swinging hard!


    Soul me!


    Hot white mes erupted from Duanmu Huai’s body, following the path along his hammer, cloaking the oing bat swarm like a methrower would. Shortly after, white mes surged forth like a tide, washing over most of the swarm of bats.


    “Aaaaargh!!!”


    Apanied by a shrill scream, arge number of bats turned into ck charcoal under the burning of the Soul me. Still, a handful of bats managed to escape Duanmu Huai’s attack range, desperately disappearing into the distant night.


    “Damn.”


    Watching them escape, Duanmu Huai was somewhat annoyed. However, his psychic attack ability was not outstanding—it really needed the assistance of mages.


    Unfortunately, in Modheim, Duanmu Huai had not found any clues rted to the Magic Kingdom of Manaria. Now, all he could do was to hope for some gains in Aldorf.


    If he couldn’t find any clues again, Duanmu Huai really didn’t know what to do.


    However, just as Duanmu Huai returned to the ground, suddenly, the system reacted again.


    [Holy Artifact signal detected, locked on]


    “A Holy Artifact?”


    Seeing the system prompt, Duanmu Huai was somewhat surprised. He didn’t remember seeing any Holy Artifacts just now. Where did thise from?


    Following the system’s prompt, Duanmu Huai did a search and finally found on the ground not far away, a dull, green sword that at first nce didn’t appear to be anything good. If it were not for the system’s prompt pinpointing the location, Duanmu Huai probably would not have been able to find this sword.


    “What is this?”


    Duanmu Huai picked up the short sword on the ground with curiosity. Soon, a system prompt appeared before his eyes.


    [You have acquired the Holy Artifact “de of the Fallen”]


    “de of the Fallen?”


    Looking at the system information in front of him, Duanmu Huai scratched his head, but still put the short sword away. If Duanmu Huai hadn’t guessed wrong, this Holy Artifact probably belonged to that bald man just now, but he was in such a hurry to escape that he ended up dropping it and Duanmu Huai picked it up.


    In fact, Duanmu Huai’s guess was spot on. This de of the Fallen was also one of the divine artifacts that Manfred tried to use to resurrect the Necromancer Nagash, and it had a very special origin—Nagash once cooperated with the Ratmen, using necromancy spells to summon an undead army to mine Dimension Stones to trade with the Ratmen. Butter, the Ratmen noticed Nagash’s ambitious n to turn the whole world into a realm of death.


    Of course, the Ratmen were not pleased with this. Although they were not the best creatures, they were still living beings. They didn’t want to see this world be a ce of death, so they used the Dimension Stones to forge this de of the Fallen and persuaded one of Nagash’s subordinates to kill Nagash with this de while Nagash was weak from using arge summoning spell, tearing Nagash into pieces.


    So in a way, the Ratmen even saved the world once.


    But no matter what, since this thing was now in Duanmu Huai’s hands, it would never be used to resurrect some unlucky necromancer again. Duanmu Huai had decided to find a time to return to the space stationter, break it down into construction points, and then build the Void Barrack… It was time to let the savages of this world taste the justice named firepower.


    When Duanmu Huai returned to the convoy, the fighting had ended. Since the mastermind had fled, the undead army that had lost its necromancy boost naturally vanished into thin air. Fortunately, due to Duanmu Huai’s quick actions, not many soldiers who were guarding the convoy were injured, and people like Ogis were also safe and sound.


    Except for Feiya, who disobeyed orders and ran out to die three times before finally settling down.


    If Duanmu Huai didn’tck a suitable card, he really wanted to pull her back into his hand.


    Anyway, after this, everyone took a brief rest and then set out again.


    Finally, they arrived at Rick Territory — the heart of the empire and the location of the royal city.


    Aldorf was just around the corner.
