NOVEL NEXT Chapter 95: Ancient God's Favored
Roar~
The Bone Dragon skimmed low, Baiyi's figure vanished as he watched some scattered, live-streaming players from the high sky, a look of contemplation in his eyes.
The Bone Dragon began to slow down, suspending Baiyi in mid-air, overlooking an elder with an Angel Mask.
The elder's mask was slashed open, his face split from shoulder to waist, lying on the ground hardly breathing, blood soaking the earth. Baiyi could even see his internal organs healing with extreme slowness, aided by magic power.
He probably didn't anticipate Diane's presence, or rather, Diane grew up in the Capital City, never really had a chance to fight, if any fight, it's just sparring among young masters and misses.
What use could a Silver Lower-Rank Mage be? This was likely ignorance of the combat technique of wealth.
Baiyi scrutinized the head of the Black Night Rose in Dongwu City.
The Black Night Rose is indeed powerful, being able to spread the Night Sacrifice Ceremony means there is at least a Golden Guardian.
But their number of Golds is far fewer than the Federation's, so having two Golds in a branch is enough to show their emphasis on Dongwu City.
"Hehehe..."
A low, elderly chuckle rang from the somewhat shattered mouth, the Angel with only one remaining eyeball gazing at Baiyi, whispering: "You... you think you have won?"
"Did I not?"
Baiyi, atop the dragon, locked gaze with the Angel, whose mask his spiritual power gently removed.
This was an unfamiliar face, not one of the city's wealthy merchants or certain officials.
At Golden Middle Tier, one held significant power in the Federation, either as a city lord or a guest of the Legislator Clan, even creating a family or a faction was plausible.
Members of Black Night Rose weren't fully integrated into the Federation, some remained hidden in true darkness, directing the course of this vast organization, and this elder was clearly one of them.
"Marvel... Marvel arrives early, They will come early too, a New Era I won't see, New Era..."
A hushed murmur echoed, his aged gaze slowly dissipating, uttering his last life reflection.
[You used Alchemy Poison to kill Level 67 Mage: Night Angel, Experience Value +100,000, due to large level gap, received double experience value, Experience Value +200,000.
Skipping Level Bonus: Obtain skill points +10, free attribute points +15, optional ordinary specialization +1
Extra Experience Value +150,000.]
[You have leveled up, current Level 45.]
Baiyi pondered, he wouldn't casually approach any dying powerful figure, solving them with poison was the right choice, a last counterattack? Villains talk too much leading to death? That's nonexistent.
When Baiyi spoke to someone near death, they might have already been afflicted by dozens of types of poison.
But Baiyi was more interested in a term the elder mage just mentioned, New Era? What New Era?
Is it the New Era of Ancient God's descent? Or the New Era changing the Federation?
The Black Night Rose's goal was clearly to seize control of the Dawn Federation, if it was about Ancient Gods, controlling wasn't necessary, and Ancient Gods' comeback was the Old Era.
This was from pre-epoch times when there was no order, tribes fought tribes, Ancient Gods fought Ancient Gods, chaos was rampant.
That was definitively not the so-called New Era...
Without further obsession, he didn't need to know what New Era meant, as long as he keeps growing, he doesn't need to worry, destroying any obstacles would suffice.
Spiritual Power surged, collecting the elder mage's two Space Rings and a broken Wooden Magic Staff.
Checked the Soul Lantern in the coat's inner lining, a thumb-sized lantern now had a Deep Blue crystal inside, the round crystal completely pure, achieving Soul Crystal quality.
[Soul Collection: 65%]
Satisfied, Baiyi tucked the item away again, but it seemed something was wrong with the Black Night Rose person's soul, the Soul Lantern had only extracted a small portion of the soul earlier.
Turning back to look, Diane's spell fluctuations grew stronger, the dragon's lament faintly emanated; simplifying various matters this way, it nonetheless relied on this lady.
Baiyi felt he should consider developing more combat techniques, currently, he had only one burst type.
Mainly, Spiritual Power suppression, followed by Energy Gun, then Alchemy Poison, Bomb bombardment, finishing with Dark Side melee.
If near the city, Dark Side wasn't required, straight up Missile bombardment would suffice.
This technique wasn't weak, could even instantly kill at Golden Lower Tier, but having only one was monotonous, cumbersome when unable to reveal Dark Side in front of players.
How can an Alchemist possess only one combat technique?
Cogitating on matters, Baiyi rode the Mechanical Giant Dragon toward Diane.
Suddenly, an overwhelming sense of crisis surged, Baiyi's heart tightened, malice flashing in his eyes, and a Golden Level Defense Scroll abruptly appeared in his hand.
Looking toward the crisis' source, there was a hill, spring's arrival covered it with lush grass and flowers, looking vibrant and lively.
On the hill, a young boy smiled at him. As their gazes met, the boy lightly nodded, like greeting him.
Baiyi gazed expressionlessly, no longer hiding the malice in his eyes, his figure atop the dragon gradually blurred.
In the scarlet mist, Baiyi's body continually transformed.
Buzz~
A buzzing sound surged, a tentacle exploded from Baiyi's face, as terrifying spiritual power clashed with curse power in an instant, his body manifested signs of decay.
