"Crusader?" Karsha stood there, feeling like an idiot. For so reason, the na Crusader sounded all too familiar. Although he had heard the word countless tis back on Earth, the way Thundercoil said it made it feel sohow lifelike, like a na with a presence. However, no matter how much he knew, he couldn't co up with an explanation at the mont.
But that wasn't all. Karsha knew he had not only killed the Ninth Overlord but had also discovered sothing frightening about his Dark Prince Hell Art Technique. First, he discovered that when the sword descended, there was no dodging it. The Dark Prince Might, as described, acted like an invincible force that restricted the target from running when the sword ca down.
The only option was to defend, which beca a disadvantage for those with weaker defenses.
Second, he realized that although his attack power had been multiplied by 700% thanks to his mastery of the technique, currently at an A rating, and his sword qi and Golden Aura were coating the swords, the snake was still able to hold back his sword. This ant that even though he had surpassed the snake in attack power, his ntal strength was still lacking.
The swords were moved using ntal and soul strength. After his rebirth on the red planet, Karsha's soul was stronger than ever, but his ntal strength still needed improvent.
He had to invest 100,000 MP to fuel the attack, and that was as high as he could go. Although he didn't show it, using the 100,000 MP felt like his head was being ground under a at grinder. He needed to improve his ntal strength. But now wasn't the ti to dwell on that; he had yet to see the spoils of this quick and decisive battle.
Karsha quickly moved toward the colossal body of the snake, picked up the core, and removed the venom sacs before climbing onto the snake's head. The entire area crackled with electricity, but Karsha didn't care. He just sat on the snake's head and started reviewing his gains.
As usual, he received so more points, managing to add 1000 points to his attributes, the sa amount he had received after killing Nedin. He saw the ssages but didn't focus too much on the points gained. His attention was on the gain from the unknown emperor.
Like always, there was the Destiny Key and the Mutant Core, which he still didn't know what to do with. But aside from those two, there was a third item that left Karsha shocked. The gift this ti was beyond anything he could have ever asked for.
[Scarlet Lightning Bone Wings]
- Description: A bone wing from a Primordial beast called the Scarlet Lightning Phoenix. Within the bones is the lightning extracted from the core of this powerful beast. Fusing with this wing will grant you the ability to fly, and depending on your Agility, your speed can be multiplied many tis.
- Abilities: The wing contains a complex movent and martial technique that, when mastered, will make you an Overlord in the air. However, using the wing will require 10,000 MP every second.
- Requirents:
- High Affinity for the Lightning Elent
- 20,000 Agility
- 20,000 Strength
- 200,000 MP
"This is so good stuff. With this, I'll be able to fight both on land and in the air," Karsha said, his smile widening as he read the ssages. The Bone Wing was indeed an incredible item, sothing anyone would kill for. The power it promised was imnse, though one term in the description puzzled him.
"System, what is a Primordial Beast?" Karsha asked quickly.
"Wait, what? You're saying the bone wing I have now is from a beast that's many tis stronger than even a World Boss?" Karsha exclaid, feeling a mix of excitent and apprehension.
He already knew he hadn't faced a true monster yet, only hearing about World Bosses from June. A World Boss was a being that could threaten the entire Central Continent, if not the whole world of Quinox.
Now, possessing a wing from a Primordial Beast ant one thing: if discovered, everyone would co after him, trying to kill him and take it. For a mont, Karsha's heart trembled. He might be strong, perhaps the strongest on this island, but once he returned to the outside world, there would be monsters more powerful than him.
Everyone would be after him. If one of these wings appeared in an auction right now, there would be a bidding war that could escalate into a full-blown conflict if caution wasn't taken. Karsha understood this but didn't care. He wanted to be strong, so strong that killing those way stronger than him would be no problem.
He was a Grandmaster stage cultivator, but as it stood now, he could squash Grandmasters and Semi-Saints like bugs. Even Saints wouldn't have it easy against him, and that was just using his physical strength without any techniques.
"Too bad I didn't et the requirents. I'm still lacking when it cos to the elents." His affinity for the Lightning elent was low, so he couldn't use the wings just yet. His agility, strength, and mana were no problem; it was his lightning affinity that was the issue.
"System, do you have anything that can help increase my affinity?" Karsha asked, determined not to give up easily. The allure of fusing with the wing was too much to ignore. He had to at least try; after all, he had a system and eight days left.
Karsha could sense the frustration in the system's words. It was clear that he hadn't thoroughly reviewed his gains after killing the ninth Overlord, and he had also overlooked the details of Nedin's Avatar. Had he checked, he would have found out that Nedin's Avatar had the capability to upgrade and beco a Mystical Avatar.
Currently, it was Emperor grade, but by fulfilling certain requirents, it could upgrade, just like the new Avatar he had received from Thundercoil.
Karsha quickly turned back to the ssages, and true to its word, sothing was indeed sitting in his inventory.
[Lightning Water]
-- Description: A vial of water fetched from the heart of a dying lightning star. When consud, the person will be granted imnse lightning force and control of the storm.
"System, where did you get sothing like this?" Karsha asked, unable to hide his joy. His joking side quickly took over, though the system remained quiet. It was still a Version 2.0 system with limited interaction capabilities.
Karsha retrieved the water from his inventory. Despite being sealed inside a bottle, it crackled with electricity in his hand. He looked at it with a small smile. To him, it was just ordinary water that would help him gain power, but to experienced cultivators, this small vial was a treasure worth going to war for.
The system was indeed spoiling Karsha rotten. He had received the strongest form of treasure for awakening the eight strongest elents in existence, and now it had given him a gift that far surpassed his previous treasures.
Inside the bottle was water from a dying star. Stars, like humans, exist and grow over ti, and just like humans, they also die. For water to co from one ant that this star had lived for hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of years, making the water extrely powerful. This water was produced only after a star had lived for many years.
The vial Karsha held contained just enough for a single consumption, but that was all he needed at the mont. He didn't yet fully grasp the value of what he possessed. Even within the legacy of the Divine Alchemist, he hadn't encountered such rare treasures.
Once Karsha receives the mories containing these items, he'll truly understand the value of what the system has given him.
He quickly absorbed the core and then consud the saint-grade blood from the snake before turning to the water. The water danced in the bottle when he shook it. After calming himself, Karsha opened it and, in one gulp, poured and swallowed the water.
Lightning danced in his eyes for a mont before, like a bomb, a huge burst of electricity blasted out of his body. Blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, but Karsha remained seated.
Boom!
Another blast ca from his body, accompanied by another mouthful of blood. Karsha continued to endure, gritting his blood-soaked teeth. The pain was visible in his eyes, but he wasn't one to give up easily. The process was bound to be dangerous, and he had prepared for it.
Twenty minutes passed, and within those twenty minutes, five energy blasts erupted from Karsha's body, each ti accompanied by a mouthful of blood. Internally, Karsha was doing much worse. The lightning was fusing with every cell in his body, and the process was anything but painless.
Perhaps it would have been simpler if Karsha had only awakened Yin lightning or Yang lightning. However, in Karsha's case, he had awakened both, so he was enduring double the pain. The white lightning was doing its thing along with the dark lightning, and Karsha had to endure all this pain because if he passed out, his cells would be destroyed, and his foundation would be shattered.
After about two hours, the process ended, and then the last phase started: ridian infusion. That's where the real pain began.
