Chapter 1441: Headshot

"Yiyi, grab the equipment!" I shouted from afar. Using Purple Dragon left me in the Exhausted state, so I had executed it a safe distance away from the boss. Therefore, I had to leave it to Lin Yixin to pick up the loot.

Lin Yixin flew back and forth a couple of times until the rain of loot was all in her bag. Then, she descended on the rampart together with everyone. Now that the boss was dead, our section of the wall was much safer than before. At the very least, we didn’t need to fear being incinerated by a dragon breath anymore. Sauna baths are great, but 500-degree-Celsius sauna baths are a different story…

……

Thud!

After I landed on the ground and sent a nearby Lizardman flying, I asked, "What did the boss drop, Yiyi? Did it drop a Ghost Armament or one of the Twelve Divine Armaments?"

Lin Yixin glanced inside her bag and shook her head. "Unfortunately, no…"

She then shared the black dragon’s equipment drops with everyone—

Black Dragon Chain Armor (Sacred Armament, Outstanding★★★★★★★): 17,000 Defense, 15,500 Magic Resist. Increases user's Defense by 70%. Level Requirement: 235.

Chord of the Dark Dragon’s Blade (Ancient Immortal-grade, Outstanding★★★★★★★): 11,500~15,200 Attack. Increases user's Attack by 190%. Level Requirement: 235.

Dragonheart Barrier (Ancient Immortal-grade, Outstanding★★★★★★★): 27500 Defense, 25,000 Magic Resist. Increases user's Defense by 120%, Parry Chance: 72%. Dragon Wick, instantly increases user’s current Defense by 50% for 60 seconds. Level Requirement: 235.

Cold Blood Necklace (Middle Immortal-grade, Outstanding★★★★★★): Provides no stats. Shoot chains that have a 27% chance of petrifying a target for 15 seconds. Level Requirement: 235.

……

After ten minutes of negotiation, we decided that the Black Dragon Chain Armor would go to Purple Marquis, the Chord of Dark Dragon’s Blade would go to Nangong Lexi, the Dragonheart Barrier would go to our Heaven’s Rain, and the Cold Blood Necklace would go to Blazing Hot Lip’s Eyes Like Water. Although the Cold Blood Necklace was—equipment grade wise—the lousiest of all the equipment drops, its effect was probably the best of them all. It didn’t provide any stats at all, but the user could simply switch their equipment to the Cold Blood Necklace when they wished to petrify a target, then back to their original equipment afterward. It wasn’t the easiest maneuver to pull in the heat of battle, true, but it was child’s play to someone like Eyes Like Water.

The magic stones, skill book and more were fully distributed as well. Black Dragon Vitas dropped a Rank 8 Encourage that increased Attack by a base of 25% and up to a maximum of 150%. It was a godlike skill book for tacticians. These days, many stratagems completely outperformed Famous General Skills because they had a much higher cap. In fact, tacticians had become the kings of large-scale buffing a while ago. Non-tacticians could at most quintuple the base effect before they were cut off by a hard cap, while tacticians could go even further.

I handed the Rank 8 Encourage skill book to a tactician from Blazing Hot Lips.

Lin Yixin shot me a strange look. "You’re strangely generous today. That’s a Rank 8 Encourage skill book with a cap of 150%, you know? It can turn a normal tactician to a top-tier one instantly."

I shrugged. "So what? It’s only 150%. My Martial God is still 50% better. Of course, if it was a Rank 9 Encourage that increases Attack by up to 250%, I wouldn’t give it to Momo even if she dropped to her knees and called me big bro. That would just be stupid..."

The corners of Lin Yixin’s mouth twitched. "I see... So that’s what you want Momo to do, is it?"

I shuddered when I realized my slip of the tongue.

However, the person in question responded calmly, "To be fair, forget dropping to my knees, I would even s*ck your c*ck if it was a Rank 9 Encourage…" [1]

For a moment, no one could say a single word. Then, Eyes Like Water erupted, "Where the heck is your shame, boss? You can’t seriously think that a Rank 9 Encourage is worth that much?"

Stranger of Three Lifetimes blinked innocently at her sister. "But, but! What does my dignity matter if sacrifice will improve our guild?"

Eyes Like Water sighed while wiping away the soot on her shoulders. "Just admit that you’re in love with Lu Chen already. It would’ve been less embarrassing than that load of bullshit you just spouted…"

Stranger of Three Lifetimes retorted, "Come on, you really think I would love that boy?"

Eyes Like Water exploded again, "Why are you doing this? You could’ve just said ‘fall in love’ like a normal person, but no, you just had to say it in a way that can be misinterpreted as a sexual inneundo… the shame…"

Stranger of Three Lifetimes: "..."

Me: "..."

……

After the idle conversation was over, we refreshed our buffs, healed back to full health, and went back to cutting down the seemingly endless horde of Lizardmen. Ultimately, killing mobs was the best way to gather contribution points. Bosses offered massive amount of contribution points, but only one person could obtain them. It wasn’t a bad thing that Black Dragon Vitas’ contribution points went to Lin Yixin though. It didn’t look likely before, but now she had a chance at surpassing Breeze and Rain and becoming the runner-up of this event. The higher one’s ranking, the better the equipment they would get, so this was a win-win for all of us!

Meanwhile, a massive aerial battle was taking place in the sky. A skyful of griffin riders were attacking the remaining six dragons with everything they had. "Kill! Kill these sacred dragons! They are scumbags who gave up their own racial pride and honor! Kill them all and take revenge for all of their victims!"

Pu pu pu…

Their lightning spears penetrated deep into the dragons’ bodies, but the creatures possessed incredible vitality. A silver dragon roared in fury, unleashed a jet of icy breath, and turned at least a hundred griffin riders into ice. When they hit the ground, they shattered into a million icy bits and didn’t leave even a drop of blood behind.

That wasn’t all. The silver dragon shredded many griffin riders with its tooth and claw, spilling blood, bones and guts everywhere. The Sovereign Rank boss was killing the Griffin Legion at an extraordinary rate.

On the wall, an invisible Farewell Song asked his guild leader, "The NPC just stole the boss we fought for an entire hour and lost seventy to eighty thousand men to. Are you going to give up, Warsky?"

Warsky let out a chuckle. "You know that’s not my style. When the silver dragon’s HP falls to 5%, we’ll swarm it and hit it with everything we got. Plus, the Griffin Legion may not necessarily be able to defeat the silver dragon…"

Laughing At The Heavens said, "The guild leader is wise!"

……

A similar scene was happening in other areas as well. The NPC griffin riders and dragon knights were fighting the six Sacred Dragons with everything they had, but the battle wasn’t going in their favor. They were bleeding troops so quickly that their armies would probably be annihilated first before the six Sacred Dragons went down.

Rustle rustle…

Karinshan was watching the battle happening in front of her when suddenly, she clasped the hilt of her sword and slowly dropped to one knee. She then cupped a handful of soil and ice before whispering to herself, "It took 10,000 years, but we humans have finally returned to this land. I can sense your spiritual energy growing, you who slumber beneath the snow. Are you awakening once more to protect those you love?"

It was at this moment Ziyan asked for directions, "Your Majesty, our aerial units won’t last until the remaining six Sacred Dragons are dead. What should we do?"

Karinshan narrowed her eyes before replying, "The Sacred Dragons are too powerful. One of them may have been killed, but the other six are still fairly healthy and powerful. Moreover, I can sense a tremendous amount of death energy coming from depths of Sainthelm Ruins. It is powerful enough to terrify even me."

Ziyan sighed. "You didn’t answer my question…"

Karinshan: "..."

……

A short distance away where Sophie’s army resided, Xinran was floating in midair and shooting Sophie a smile, "How many strikes will it take you to kill a Sacred Dragon?"

Snow Minstrel declared confidently, "With my Purgatory Cross Slash, I can dismember it completely in 5 strikes at most! What about you? You’ve trained in Heaven Domain for a very long time, and I’m very curious to know how sharp your Dragonbone Spear has become…"

Xinran continued to smile. "You will know the answer to that very soon. You handle the red, blue and ice dragons, and I’ll handle the silver[2], fire, and gold dragons. Let’s see who can end the legend of the Seven Sacred Dragons[3] first, shall we?"

"Very well!"

Sophie answered, but she was already flying across the sky like a lightning bolt.

Swhoosh!

Xinran abruptly vanished from her spot as well.

……

In the sky, the silver dragon roared while savaging and devouring the griffin riders, "The pride of the dragon race is not something you ants can imagine! Die, you ignorant humans!"

Buzz!

It was at this moment a beautiful woman who was shrouded in bloody energy appeared above it. Xinran smiled at the boss and said, "Silver Dragon Pais, I have come to end your life. Be a good boy and die, will you?"

Sneering, the dragon elder taunted her in the draconic tongue, "Where are you from, humble girl? I was born to this land tens of thousands of years ago! Do you really think a child like you can kill me?"

Xinran didn’t bother wasting her breath on the dragon elder. She simply pulled her arm backward, infused her Dragonbone Spear with divine energy and said with a giggle, "Here I come then!"

Swhoosh!

The silver dragon roared when the Dragonbone Spear sailed toward him, "Come forth! Ice Dragon Armor!"

A thick layer of ice instantly appeared around its head. It looked like a perfect defense against Xinran’s spear throw, but…

Suddenly, the Dragonbone Spear became much larger and powerful than before. It was only then the silver dragon realized its mistake and shouted, "What the? How do you possess this—"

BANG!

The Dragonbone Spear pierced the silver dragon’s head and made it rain like a blood bag. Actually, I would like to amend that. The spear throw had exploded the dragon’s entire head into smithereens and caused its headless body to fall lifelessly toward the ground. Who would’ve thought that the Sacred Dragon was incapable of withstanding even a single hit from Xinran?

……

On the wall, Warsky punched a nearby brick and uttered through gritted teeth, "My 5%! God dammit, silver dragon! Are you made of paper or what? Headshot kills aren’t supposed to happen in a game like this!"

October Rain said nonchalantly, "That NPC girl is Xinran and Lu Chen’s greatest helper in the game. If you ever plan to curry favor with a woman, make sure to learn from the gigolo master himself, Lu Chen…"

……

A sudden sneeze took control of me for a moment. Goddammit, who’s the bastard slandering me behind my back?

1. T/N: in the raws it used the Chinese version of a censor "beep", but I did this instead because it didn’t seem to fit the English sentence very well. ☜

2. E/N: Silver dragon was freezing everyone at Warsky Alliance’s side, but now there’s silver AND ice dragons? ☜

3. E/N: Seven? Lin Yixin ended THAT legend. You can end the legend of Six Sacred Dragons, but you can’t really do it “first”. Both of you need to finish for it to happen. Maybe compete who can end the legend of Three Random Sacred Dragons? ☜
