NOVEL NEXT Chapter 30
Chapter 30: Light Flow Sword
Fuck, Dragon Soul actually died that easily. He was still the boss of Flame Sword!
I looked over at Ling Yue and saw that she was also looking at me. We both had a trace of fear and shock in our eyes. The Skeleton King’s attack was too strong and we had no way of defending against it!
Purple Rhyme was not far away from me and she was being surrounded by Undead Knights. She gave a bitter smile to me and said, “Bookworm, I’ll be going back to the city first!”
Purple Rhyme turned into white light as she flew off to the city. She was very calm as she died!
Ghost Fire lost himself in his rage and went all out to attack the Skeleton King.
I immediately loudly shouted, “Ghost Fire, go back to the city right now!”
Ghost Fire said in a surprised voice, “I can’t. How could I just abandon you guys?”
I loudly shouted, “Stop talking, do you want to drop the Perishing Set? Go back to the city right now and wait for us, I’ll block them for you!”
Ghost Fire was suddenly scared and did not say anything else. He immediately drew back from the fight and pulled out a city return scroll. I quickly stepped forward and attracted the aggro of the Undead Knights, then I rushed towards the Skeleton King.
After a few seconds Ghost Fire successfully used the city return scroll and was sent back.
Then I started to attack the Skeleton King. Whether we would succeed would depend on these next few seconds!
Ling Yue understood my intentions and coordinated with me. She continued to shoot out fireballs at the Skeleton King’s chest, but it seemed like his HP was inexhaustible. He actually did not fall!
Finally, a crowd of Undead Knights surrounded Ling Yue and her flame qi shield was destroyed with a few attacks. The attack power of these Undead Knights were no joke.
Seeing Ling Yue turning into white light and being sent back to the city, I felt a bit of pain in my heart, but I forced it down.
I quickly dodged the Undead Knights chasing after me, while shooting out an armour piercing arrow at the Skeleton King. But the Skeleton King also rushed over with his steed and he swung his whistling sword at me!
I was very clear on the situation, my defense was worse than Dragon Soul and he was instantly killed. I would definitely be shattered to pieces the moment the sword landed!
So, I closed my eyes and shot out a final armour piercing arrow!
“Peng!”
The moment milky white light clashed with the Skeleton King’s armour, it suddenly stopped moving. Then its body fell onto mine, bringing a heavy pressure with it!
“Ding!”
System Notification: Congratulations, you have killed the Gold Level Boss Ten Thousand Year Old Skeleton King. You have received 400000 experience and 2000 prestige!
A golden light quickly fell and I reached level 33, but I was instantly surrounded by the Undead Knights. A sword glow shot out and my increased HP instantly turned empty!
I was startled, but I immediately looked at the stuff the Skeleton King dropped. There was a skill book and a sword which I quickly put into my inventory as I fell down. As for the gold coins, I could only take a single handful. Who would have thought once I grabbed that handful, my whole body would fill with pain and light would appear in front of my eyes.
“Ding!”
System Notifications: You have been killed by the Undead Knights and you have lost one level!
“Ding!”
System Notification: Since you can’t complete the quest while being dead, the quest has failed!
Fuck, I actually failed it. Did this quest have a time delay? Moreover, I returned back to level 32…...
Familiar faces appeared in my surroundings. Ling Yue, Dragon Soul, and the others were all waiting at the resurrection point.
Dragon Soul said, “It seems like you were killed as well.”
Heavenly Punisher said, “That’s definitely right. Returning to the city would send him to the square, not here…..”
Far off in the distance, Ghost Fire was running over from the square.
By my side, Ling Yue and Purple Rhyme were excitedly standing there. Ling Yue gave low laugh and said, “So what happened in the end?”
I said, “Look at my level!”
Ling Yue was a little surprised, but she quickly recovered. She smiled and said, “You’ve killed the Skeleton King!”
“Smart!”
Everyone had lost a level and I was already at level 32. So for me to stay at level 32, that could only mean that I gained a level before dying!
After finding out that I killed the Skeleton King, Dragon Soul and the others all revealed happy expressions. When I mentioned the drops, Dragon Soul shook his head and said, “One cannot be too greedy, Ghost Fire has already obtained the Perishing Set and Bookworm, you’re the one that killed the Skeleton King. This sounds bad, but we really didn’t help that much. Even if the Skeleton King dropped Divine Equipment, we still would not want it!”
After he finished speaking, Dragon Soul smiled and said, “Now I’ll log off and get some dinner. Brother Bookworm, I’ll see you later!”
Heavenly Punisher and Ghost Fire went to appraise their equipment and Purple Rhyme logged out to go eat dinner.
I also went to appraise my equipment and Ling Yue followed me as she said, “I’ll go and see an eye opener!”
When we arrived at the appraisal shop, Ghost Fire was already wearing the sparkling Perishing Set and walking away. Heavenly Punisher happily followed behind him and sometimes he would often point at Ghost Fire for bystanders as he said, “This is my brother, isn’t he broken?”
I took out the two items from my inventory and found out that the skill book did not need to be appraised.
[Thousand Blade Arrow]: Deals a certain amount of damage to all surrounding enemies.
Requirement: Level 30 Archer Job.
I was overjoyed, it really was something that was really sought after. I had unexpectedly gained an archer aoe attack skill book!
Reading the details of the skill book, Ling Yue also happily smiled and said, “Bookworm, you have to always accompany me while leveling!”
I smiled and said, “I’d be glad to!”
Then I looked at the sword the Skeleton King dropped.
[Light Flow Sword] (Gold Equipment)
Attack: 140-185
Strength: +15
Vitality: +10
Required level: 30
(Unidentified)
Gold Equipment! It was actually a Gold Equipment!
Ling Yue and I just stood there in a daze without saying anything for quite a while!
Seeing the light stream on the sword, the layer of light slowly rippling across the blade itself. The flow of light on the sword was very elegant, in general, it seemed very beautiful.
After a while, Ling Yue swung my arm around and said, “Bookworm, are you still getting it appraised?”
I said, “Of course!”
When I placed the Light Flow Sword on the table, the appraiser immediately revealed a shocked expression. He quickly ran to the back while calling out, “Master! Master! There’s a piece of equipment for you to appraise!”
After a few minutes, an old appraiser walked out. His name was clearly showing his title: Royal Palace Appraisal Master!
At old appraiser looked at the Light Flow Sword and couldn’t help becoming excited. He gently caressed the sword hilt and said in a trembling voice, “I never thought I would be able to see a treasure like this in my lifetime!”
After that, the old appraiser mechanically said, “It costs 100 gold coins to appraise this!”
“What? 100 gold coins?” I was shocked.
The old appraiser gave a serious nod, “Do you want to appraise it?”
I only had 56 gold coins on me, I didn’t have enough!
Ling Yue saw that I was in a difficult position, so she gave a faint smile and took out 100 gold coins to give to the appraiser. Then she said, “I’ll help him pay for it!”
After the appraiser received the money, he immediately placed his hand on the Light Flow Sword. I only saw a light shine out and the Light Flow Sword’s golden glow completely covered the entire appraiser shop!
Taking back the Light Flow Sword, I immediately excitedly looked the sword’s stats.
[Light Flow Sword] (Gold Equipment)
Attack: 185-270
Strength: +24
Vitality: +20
Agility: +15
Additional effect: Increases the user’s skill attack power of 20%.
Required level: 30
Seeing the stats of the Light Flow Sword, Ling Yue and I stood there stunned.
“This…...This is too…...Too abnormal, right……” Ling Yue said in a shocked tone.
I was also stunned. Holding the Light Flow Sword in my hand, I felt a majestic energy flowing into my body. It was a pity that I was just a little archer that had no way of using swords.
Ling Yue pursed her lips into a smile and asked, “What are you planning to do with this sword? Are you going to give it to Dragon Soul?”
I said, “You think I’m that generous of a person? If I give away a Gold Equipment, people will wonder if I’ve been kicked in the head……”
Ling Yue revealed a faint smiled and said, “Who knows? Perhaps it’s because Dragon Soul doesn’t have enough charm! Since you don’t plan on giving it to him, then just save it for now. After half a month when the majority of players reach level 30, this sword will reveal its true value!”
I nodded and said, “Alright, if I sell this sword, I also have to give you a share. I’ll give you 10% of the income…..”
“Good fellow, you really are generous!”
“Of course.”
