Chapter 869: Why?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When Aersith’s Nihilistic Territory was fully unleashed, it was capable of overwhelming everything inferior to her.
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut was weaker than her. Hence, her body disappeared into nothingness instantly. A Holy Light Talisman could not be used, and she was forced to resurrect in a temple.
Even Li Yi, who held a completed Sacramental Stone, could only begrudgingly to choose temple resurrect if he was hit with Aersith’s Nihilistic Territory.
Without a physical body, even a completed Sacramental Stone would not allow resurrection.
“Poor her...”
Li Yi’s figure emerged from the darkness.
It was not easy to travel to the Demon God Castle, plus Li Yi held Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut in high regard, so he never planned on killing her. Aersith’s attack was completely unintentional.
“She’s strong. If I didn’t kill her, it’s possible...” Aersith gazed at her palms, “I’d be killed by her.”
True Fist of Raging Overlord and True Overlord Arrow were both class ultimate skills. The difference between the two was that True Overlord Arrow was an area of effect attack, which meant that upon activation it would affect all enemies within a 90 degrees angle, while True Fist of Raging Overlord was a one-hit wonder to single targets.
Damage-wise, True Fist of Raging Overlord dealt higher than True Overlord Arrow but in terms of overall damage, True Overlord Arrow took home the crown.
“Let’s go, let’s enter.”
Li Yi waved at Aersith, gesturing her to move towards the Demon God Halls.
“I may be your mercenary but as the Second Demon God, how can I kill a fellow demon?”
Aersith shook her head and stood still, disobeying Li Yi’s orders.
Li Yi was gobsmacked.
She would not attack a fellow demon? So Aersith could not lay a hand on the Demonic Tribe?”
“Genghis is the source of energy of my tribe. If it dies, the power of my tribe will weaken so I have to stop you.”
Alright, not only was Aersith unhelpful, she whipped out her flute and blocked the entrance to the Demon God Halls. This way, Li Yi would not be able to enter.
“You asked me to break the seals in the Four Major Elemental Shrines but only gave me five days. What if I can’t break the seals in time? What if the Demonic Tribe launches an attack early?”
“That...” Aersith had no words.
“Genghis possesses the ability to resurrect without limit. Even if I kill it, it won’t be long before it revives again. It’s the same deal with your tribe so there’s no need for you to stop me.”
“That...” Aersith was lost in Li Yi’s words. Although she was an intelligent NPC, compared to a real human, her IQ was still lacking.
After much consideration, Aersith moved aside and nodded, “Okay, do as you will.”
Given an inch, Li Yi took a mile, “I can’t kill Genghis by myself. I need your help.”
“No!” Aersith was resolute. If she as the Second Demon God were to kill the First Demon God and word got out, that would make her a true traitor to the demons.
“Fine then, you go in there and weaken its strength. Leave the rest to me.”
“That...
“Okay...”
Agreeing, Aersith walked into the Demon God Halls and it did not take long before she came out again.
“I have sealed its ability to summon demons. This will minimize the fatality count of my people...”
Li Yi gave Aersith a thumbs up and walked into the Demon God Halls.
Li Yi was at Level 199 and almost at Territory Rank 14. Although this was not enough to deal with Genghis, he should be able to succeed by fully unleashing his Territory and teleporting near it.
Li Yi was able to take down Genghis without Aersith’s help and had only wanted her to help to test her powers.
Aersith’s Demonic Seal could prevent a target from using a single skill and she had used it to impede Genghis’ ability to summon demons.
Li Yi spent around twenty minutes to butcher Genghis and end the battle.
However, he did not have any luck as Genghis did not drop anything. He came up empty...
Then came the System Notification.
[Due to First Demon God Genghis’ death, all demons have entered Weak status.]
Players were jumping with joy as they flocked to Foreignland.
Aersith questioned him with a sour expression, “Custodian of Blademaster Aragon, did you lie to me again?”
“You’ll know soon enough whether I’m lying or not, Your Holiness. You can return for a rest now.”
Li Yi waved his arm while Aersith hesitated for a bit before her body turned into a radiant light and flew into his backpack.
As the strongest mercenary in the Traitors’ Alliance, she had the authority to terminate her employment with Li Yi at any time.
Li Yi returned to Starting Point City and took delight in reading the comments in the World Channel before going offline to hit the sack.
With Genghis dead again, players were running rampant in Foreignland.
Outside Foreignland in some temple, Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut stood, clenching her fists as she read the comments in the World Channel.
She had remained in the temple for over an hour. She did not leave because there was an issue that weighed heavily in her mind.
Why could Dark Wing do it, but she could not?
Why was it that he succeeded, but she did not?
Why was he always in the lead while she lagged behind?
Did she put in less effort than he did?
Or perhaps...
She was less talented than he was.
“Why!”
With golden energy raging all over Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut, she smashed the ground with her fist.
“Thump!”
The temple broke into pieces, falling into ruin.
System Notification: [Player, Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut has destroyed the glorious temple. As punishment by the gods, STR attribute is reduced by 5 points.]
The glorious temple that enabled resurrection was a miracle left behind by the Ruler of Gods throughout the Pantheon Continent. Any act of destruction was punishable.
“Why!”
Ignoring the warning and punishment, Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut continued to smash her fist into the ground.
“Thump! Thump! Thump!”
It was only after the glorious temple had completely collapsed and disappeared that Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut stopped. By then, her STR attribute was cut by 30 points.
30 STR, translated to damage dealt was over 2,000 points.
Attribute points and equipment were equally important but currently, Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut did not care at all.
She was proud, unyielding and had never learned to back down. Before joining Pantheon, she strived against the freak, The Mountain, and was never far behind.
However, against Li Yi... She always had the impression she was lagging far behind him. She made efforts to level up, raise her Territory, and collect the Demon God Equipment Set yet the distance between her and Li Yi still felt large.
After she was done venting, Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut clenched her fists as she muttered to herself, “Could it be that Dark Wing’s the legendary GM?”
“It’s actually not hard if you wish to surpass him.”
A voice was heard from the sky, spurring Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut to raise her head to look. A stateless individual, Drifting Snow descended from the sky on a blue Pegasus, landing in front of her.
