Chapter 68 - 68 Rich Spoils of War! Ektor, the Headless Horseman Who Escaped!
Although he did not obtain the monster’s blood as he wished after killing the King-tier Boss this time, just the Full of Vigor alone made this trip worthwhile.
Shopkeeper Jin of the Holy Light Village had offered 10,000 Bobo coins to buy this skill book!
“What a good start! Looks like I’m in luck!”
Lin Bei smiled and put away Full of Vigor. He looked at the few pieces of equipment on the ground.
Baglas only dropped a total of four pieces of equipment, but these four were all Obsidian-grade equipment!
Ice Pure Mirror: Level 45, Obsidian Level, Unidentified.
Frozen Shield: Level 45, Obsidian Level, Unidentified.
Blood Breaking Spear: Level 45, Obsidian Level, Unidentified.
Ice Spirit Staff: Level 45, Obsidian Level, Unidentified.
Four unidentified equipment, and they were Level 45. Lin Bei lost interest after taking a look.
He was only Level 25 now. These equipment were 20 levels higher than him. It was not something he could equip now.
Frenzied Potion: Advanced Alchemy Potion. After using it, you will enter a Combat Frenzy state. Damage received will be reduced by 50%, damage dealt increased by 50%. Duration: 30 seconds.
Lin Bei did not hesitate and used the Frenzied Potion to obtain a permanent Combat Frenzy state.
As for the two innate abilities, the Body of Holy Light and the Body of Judgment, that he had activated when he killed the Boss, he had canceled them.
This was because these two abilities looked too high-profile. Once they were activated, Lin Bei would be enveloped by countless golden holy light and blood-colored energy. It was a little ostentatious.
Fortunately, these two talents were his and could be activated at any time. He did not need the Unlimited Buff to lengthen them. Otherwise, it would not be long before he would make the headlines and be discussed by everyone.
The talent of Infinite Buff was very powerful. As long as it was a Buff that benefited him, it could become permanent. Even if he died midway, the Buff would not lose its effect. Moreover, he could activate and deactivate the Buff effect at will.
However, Lin Bei would not do this easily. At most, he would operate it when fighting other players to avoid arousing suspicion. Under other circumstances, he would not do this.
For example, the high-level Buffs he had obtained for free previously. Once he turned them off, these Buffs would all be gone. To him, it was a huge loss!
This was an act of breaking one’s arm.
Therefore, other than Buffs that originated from him like the Body of Holy Light and the Body of Judgment, he would not consider closing the Buffs.
And even if he chose to turn off the Body of Holy Light and the Body of Judgment at the last minute, it was only because the special effects of these two talents were too eye-catching. The kind that was giving him a headache.
“I should keep the two Limit Breaking Skills for now and make plans in the future.”
Lin Bei put away the two Limit Breaking Crystals and was not in a hurry to use them. Instead, he looked at the King’s Insignia. This thing was the reward for the first kill of the King-tier Boss. There was only a limited number of them.
Lin Bei glanced at his attribute bar. Currently, he had a total of three profession talents and three profession-specific skills to upgrade. Among them, War Awakening had already been upgraded to Lv.2. If he wanted to continue upgrading, he needed a higher-level Emperor’s Insignia, so he ignored it.
Therefore, he had to make a choice among the remaining two talents and three exclusive skills.
“Forget it, what’s there to choose? In any case, there are still nine King-tier Bosses behind. If they’re all First Kills, there will be a lot of King’s Insignias. It’s enough to raise these talents and skills to Lv.2. I can just add any right now.”
Lin Bei glanced at the thick list of missions in his backpack and grinned.
You have used the King’s Insignia! The Body of Judgment level has increased to Lv.2!
Body of Judgment: Lv.2. Additional 200% Judgment damage per attack.
“As expected of a Level-SSS hidden profession talent! It only increased by one level, but the buff has doubled! It’s indeed powerful!”
Lin Bei’s eyes lit up and he smiled brightly.
Of course, this additional Judgment Damage was not Critical Hit Damage. It did not enjoy the bonus of Critical Hit Damage. Otherwise, this 100% increase would definitely be terrifying!
For example, before the critical hit settlement, Lin Bei had dealt 1 million damage. Then, after triggering the Level 2 Body of Judgment, he could cause an additional 2 million points of Judgment damage to the target, not the high damage after the critical hit settlement.
“According to this increase, doesn’t that mean that after Level 5, I can directly add 500% Judgment Damage? Damn, this is too fierce!”
Lin Bei could not help but sigh.
Unfortunately, the skills after his profession advanced were not enhanced by the Holy Light Contract. He could only rely on the proof of strength to increase their levels. Otherwise, with “Skill Level +Lv.4”, he would directly soar!
“This Level 2 Territory Crystal is not bad either! Although it’s bound to the Frost Valley area, it’s still a Level 2 Territory after all. Be it the territory area or territory functions, it’s much stronger than a Level 1 Territory Crystal! Keep it as a backup! We’ll decide in detail when we establish the territory in the future.”
Putting away the Level 2 Territory Crystal, Lin Bei looked up at the depths of the cave and a blue light flashed.
“Could it be a Dungeon Crystal?”
Lin Bei’s heart skipped a beat. He went forward to investigate and indeed found a Dungeon Crystal.
Instance Dungeon Crystal: Frost Valley Instance Dungeon (Lv.30 to Lv.40). After using it, you can open the Frost Valley Instance Dungeon and obtain the authority of the Instance Dungeon.
“Good stuff!”
Lin Bei put away the Instance Dungeon Crystal and did not activate it immediately. Other than him, there were probably not many people in the entire server who could clear this Instance Dungeon, so there was no need to activate it.
This way, the Level 30 to 40 Instance Dungeon that the Azure Plume Guild needed was found.
In addition to the previous Instance Dungeon, there seemed to be only the Level 20 to 30 Instance Dungeon left for the current Azure Plume Guild.
“I’ll complete the bounty mission first. If I’m lucky, I might be able to get a few more Instance Dungeon Crystals midway. If I really don’t get them, I know a few ways to obtain Level 20 to 30 Instance Dungeon Crystals. It won’t be too late to get them when the time comes!”
Lin Bei quickly made the decision. Then, he continued to search the cave. When there was nothing good, he left.
“Next target, the Headless Horseman of the Misty Mountains, Ektor.”
Lin Bei confirmed his next target and immediately flew into the air. He turned into a stream of light and quickly disappeared into the horizon.
Currently, he was covered in Speed Buffs and his speed was ridiculously fast. Ordinary Level 80 players, unless they had top-notch equipment, would not be able to catch up to him.
After flying for more than ten minutes, Lin Bei arrived at the Misty Mountain Range.
After landing, he did not stop and went straight into the mountain range.
This Boss’s bounty notice clearly gave the coordinates, so there was no need to search. He could just go straight up.
“However, I have to end the battle quickly this time! Otherwise, if I delay for too long, who knows if he will be possessed by a Blood Demon or something disgusting. At that time, it will be a huge loss if I can’t collect the monster’s blood.”
Lin Bei warned himself in his heart. The moment he discovered the Boss, he immediately activated the Body of Holy Light and the Body of Judgment. Discipline Spells bombarded the target desperately. In just a few seconds, he took away a third of the Health Points of the Headless Horseman Ektor, who was resting by the bonfire!
“Men! Enemy attack!”
The Headless Horseman rolled and crawled. He mounted his horse and shouted as he fled into the depths of the Misty Mountains.
Damn, isn’t this too f*cking terrifying?
All of a sudden, I almost lost my life!
Which expert had nothing better to do and came to find trouble with me?
Ektor did not have time to think and rode away.
Who cares who he is? With my Undead Warhorse, it won’t be so easy to catch up to me!
I can’t beat you, but can’t I outrun you?
The Headless Horseman Ektor rode his horse and ran wildly. He did not even turn around to look at the person who attacked.
What a joke. Can’t you see that the other party beat him up in a single move?
How dare he turn back?
Was he tired of living?!
Just run!
On the other side, Lin Bei was also dumbfounded.
The corners of his mouth twitched as he watched the Headless Horseman gallop towards the mountain range.
Hey, you’re a King-tier Boss after all. No matter what, you should try resisting!
Aren’t you embarrassed to run away just like that?!
