Virtual World: Conquering the World

Chapter 106: Frozen Heart



While I was immersed in their loving story, Ronin turned to look at me and I was shocked.  This is bad, he wants to pull me in!

As expected, Ronin said, "Young warrior, are you willing to agree to my request?"

"Ding~!"

System notification: Do you wish to accept the quest [Sharing Life]?

…...

I hesitated a bit and after confirming that this mission wouldn't harm me, I clicked accept.

"Ding~!"

System notification: You have accepted the quest [Sharing Life]! (Current difficulty: 0)

Quest details: Kill Great Priest Ronin and using his blood as an intermediary, reform Princess Linda's body, while also sharing Ronin's remaining life with Princess Linda!

…...

My jaw dropped, this quest's difficulty was actually zero?

Great Priest Ronin went to an empty spot and raised his white jade staff, as a six starred magic array appeared under our feet.  With Ronin in the center, the magic array exploded with light and tore through the clouds, letting all those near and far see it!

I guess that all the Chinese players in Sunset City should be able to see this light soaring into the sky.

After the array was released, Great Priest Ronin stood in the middle and said in a determined voice, "Decades ago, I traveled to the peak of the continent and found the divine expert, God Class Ming Lan.  She gave me a secret technique to share my life with others.  If I could choose, I would live with Linda, even if it was for a day….."

On the side, the five magicians were all shocked as they quickly said, "Master!  How could you……"

Ronin revealed a faint smile and raised his staff, pushing the magicians away.

Princess Linda's smile was like a blooming flower and although she was crying, it seemed like she was happy.

When Ronin took Linda, he said to me in a deep voice, "Young warrior, please kill me within ten minutes.  My blood will be molded into a body using the secret technique.  Don't be afraid, I definitely won't die……"

I was stunned before saying, "You won't die even cut up to pieces?"

Ronin couldn't help smiling.  He pointed at his heart and said, "Use your sharp blade to pierce my heart!"

I hesitated a bit, but Linda said with a smile, "Do it!  I believe Ronin, he is the most outstanding magician on the continent!"

I was speechless.  I came forward and with a glow of the Bloodthirsty Spear, I used the Sweeping Away Thousand Soldiers on Ronin's chest, creating two damage figures.

"876!"

"854!"

I was a bit surprised!  Ronin's defenses were so strong, he really was the great priest!

With Ronin and Linda's consent, I kept using skills and attacking without stop.  Ronin closed his eyes as he held Linda's small hands, just silently accepting it all.

Mages were weak to begin with and in less than five minutes, Ronin's HP finally reached the bottom!

"Puchi!"

With tiny ice debris, the Ice Wind Thorn stabbed right into Ronin's chest and created a large splash of blood!

At the same time, I felt a powerful force as I was completely blown away!

"Putong!"

I landed on my butt over ten meters away.  When I stood up while rubbing my waist, I found that Ronin's body inside the magic array was changing!  He looked up at the sky and instantly, his body was torn into shreds and he scattered into light starting from his head!

As the light dance, the magic array trembled and like it would shake the earth, it seemed like it was changing all of Sunset City!

As the light scattered, it gathered again.  With wisps of spiritual energy, in the blink of an eye, Princess Linda's body was reformed by Ronin, gradually gaining the colour of blood.  Beside her, a second body was being reformed, it was actually Great Priest Ronin!

But Ronin was much younger after reforming his body, as his beard had disappeared and he became a middle aged man who was in his forties!

Ten minutes later, the light scattered and Ronin and Linda appeared in front of me holding hands.  The five magicians were stunned as they muttered, "Too amazing, there's actually such a secret technique!"

"Ding~!"

System notification: Congratulations, you have completed the quest [Sharing Life].  You have received 50000 experience, 50 silver coins, and 10 prestige.

…...

Seeing this quest reward, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.  This really was a quest with zero difficulty!

But Ronin and Linda came in front of me.  Linda was holding Ronin's hand as she said with a faint smile, "Young warrior, it's thanks to you that we could be together again.  Although I don't know how long this will last, I'm already satisfied.  To show my gratitude, please accept this……"

"Ding~!"

System notification: You have received the quest reward [Frozen Heart]!

…...

I was a bit surprised.  Could it be the real quest reward was coming?  Although this quest wasn't difficult, it was quite arduous and scared me half to death, so the reward shouldn't be bad, right?

Quickly opening the package, I was disappointed to find that it wasn't any frozen heart.  Could it be that I would learn a skill?

Opening up my skills list, as expected, I found a passive skill.

[Frozen Heart]: Increases resistance towards Ice Magic by 50%, increases the power of one's Ice Skills by 25%!

…...

I was shocked!

Just two short lines, but it filled me with wild joy.  One was 50% and one was 25%, what did this mean?

First, when I had my speed decreased by an enemy's attack, the effect would go from 50% speed decrease to 25% speed decrease!  Second, my ice skills would become stronger, for example the Ice Wind Thorn which would be 25% stronger!

Although it was a passive skill and it couldn't be leveled, this Frozen Heart skill for a player skilled in PKing as me, it was like rain that fell after three days of a drought!

At this time, Ronin and Princess Caroline were already heading back to Sunset City and the magicians were following them.  I was looking at my Dark Set and after thinking about it, I decided to change equipment first!

I crushed a City Return Scroll and with a beam of light, I appeared in Sunset City.

When I came to the appraisal shop, I threw my Dark Set onto the table.

The old appraiser looked at it and said, "A total of five gold coins!"

I revealed a faint smile.  As expected, although these Bronze Equipment were high level, they were still very cheap!

So I quickly handed over five gold coins and with a black light came over this Dark Set.  The black light that came from this Dark Set, it would definitely look good wearing them!

I reached out to take the equipment and their stats jumped out.

[Dark Helmet] (Bronze Equipment - Armour)

Defense: 55

Strength: +9

Vitality: +6

Additional: Increases the user's attack power by 5.

Required level: 30

Set stats: Increases the user's health regeneration by 5 per second.

[Dark Armour] (Bronze Equipment - Armour)

Defense: 72

Strength: +12

Vitality: +8

Additional: Increases the user's attack power by 5.

Required level: 30

[Dark Leg Armour] (Bronze Equipment - Armour)

Defense: 60

Strength: +10

Required level: 30

[Dark Bracers] (Bronze Equipment - Armour)

Required level: 30

[Dark Boots] (Bronze Equipment - Armour)

Defense: 55

Strength: +9

Vitality: +6

Additional: Increases the user's attack power by 5.

Required level: 30

…...

It had to be said, the power of a Bronze Set was limited, all the additional stats could be considered normal.  Of course, this was already stronger than my Dark Iron Set, so I quickly changed them one by one.  In an instant, I was covered in dark glowing armour and looked much more handsome.  Adding in the black cape on my back and the dark red spear in my hand, I looked like a killing god!

Of course, I knew that my stats couldn't compare to a level 40 player like Fated Madman.  I would need at least a set of Silver Equipment to reach my level 50 standard from before!

But although the Dark Set had low levels, it increased by defense quite a bit.  I went from 370 defense to 490 defense, turning into a sheet of iron.  If I were to equip Silver Equipment that were all level 40 or up, my defense would be over 700!  I could definitely cut down a bunch of archers alone!

After stocking up on potions, I looked at my level.  I was at level 33 with 24% experience and it was now 7:45 at night, so I would reach level 35 before 2 am!  Otherwise, my clock would always be different from the other girls and it didn't seem right.

After organizing everything, I went to level again.

At the peak time at night, the Hero Memorial Park had many more players.  The Corrupted Skeletons were being killed by players as soon as they spawned, so I couldn't join in at all.  So, I could only pick a deeper position to level.

Passing several ash gray mountains, there were less and less players.  There were only a few player parties leveling and there was another kind of undead in front of me.  It was a skeleton that was pale white and it had an iron spear in its hand.  Moreover, whenever it attacked, it was like the skeleton was shouting, "I am a skeleton, who dares fight to the death with me?"  Then it turned red and was covered in killing intent!

[Skeleton Demon] (Enhanced Monster)

Level: 46

Attack: 360-480

Defense: 180

HP: 8000

Additional skill: Bloody Roar, increases the Skeleton Demon's move speed and attack speed by 25%.

…...

I was a bit surprised.  So it was like this, it was no wonder several parties could only pull in a single monster, so these skeleton warriors had such amazing skills.

"Pa!"

I shot out an armour piercing arrow and a "1204" appeared above the Skeleton Demon's head.  This was considered not bad, it had broken most of the armour!

"Roar, roar!"

The Skeleton Demon angrily roared as it wielded its spear and it was covered in a blood red glow as it was already charging at me!

I quickly toko out the Bloodthirsty Spear and it was covered in a blue glow.  The ice danced as the Ice Wind Thorn stabbed right into the Skeleton Demon's chest!

"1471!"

This high 1400 damage made me happy.  The Dragon Whisperer Job was a close range combat Job, so it was quite strong when it came to dueling!

I released a Sweeping Away Thousand Soldiers and with two slashes, the spear created a mark on the Skeleton Demon, while also dealing close to 2000 damage!

With this, at first contact, the Skeleton Demon had lost half its HP, which was enough to prove that my attack power far surpassed my level.  After all, I was only level 33 and this Skeleton Demon was 13 levels higher, as well as being an Enhanced Monster.

That Skeleton Demon attacked and the spear hit my armour, but each hit only dealt around two hundred damage.  With each attack, I just needed to use a potion and it wasn't hard to resist.

"Hua la!"

With another Ice Wind Thorn and another Sweeping Away Thousand Soldiers from me, the Skeleton Demon turned into a pile of bones and dropped two gold coins!

I laughed as I picked up the gold coins and then turned to my experience bar.  I was surprised to find that the Skeleton Demon gave good experience, increasing by bar by 1%!

So I quickly made up my mind.  I would kill these Skeleton Demons tonight and I should be able to reach level 38!

Fighting the Skeleton Demons alone surprised the players nearby, but looking at my equipment, they understood.  Although the stats of the Dark Set and the Bloodthirsty Spear weren't that high, they looked quite good.  Adding in the fact that I hid my level and name, everyone thought that I wasn an expert.

When I was killing monsters, I heard a sound and a system notification: Your friend Purple Rhyme has logged on!

Before I could even react, Purple Rhyme directly called me.

When I connected, the sound of Purple Rhyme's concerned voice came from the other side.

"Bookworm, are you alright?"

I replied with a laugh, "I'm quite good, aren't I already level 33?"

Purple Rhyme laughed, "Un, then I'm assured.  I was worried that you wouldn't be able to think it through!  I wanted to find you in real life, but something happened at the company that I had to take care of, I only logged on now~~"

I laughed, "Find me in real life?  Ha, ha, that's good, beauty Rhyme must also be a beauty in real life!"

Purple Rhyme gave a chuckle, "Could it be that you're not afraid I've raised my appearance by 25% and I look like a dinosaur in real life?"

I was stunned, "That is true.  It's better not to meet and maintain the beauty online!"

Purple Rhyme laughed as she scolded, "This fellow!"

I suddenly remembered the Gold Grade Mercy Plume in my warehouse that could increase healing by 25%.  I wanted to ask Purple Rhyme if she wanted it or if she could give it to someone else, since Purple Rhyme was a key member of Sword Flame.  Sword Flame was now under us, so it was right to give her this piece of equipment.

But Purple Rhyme was only level 43.  It was better to wait until she was level 45!
