Chapter 524: 490, The Third Magic Contract Chapter 524: 490, The Third Magic Contract This discovery made Charles even more certain that the Zimrman standing before him was not human but rather It!
He had killed three Ice Undead Knights and was rushing back when he noticed Zimrman still battling with an Interdiate Rank high-section Ice Undead Knight.
The two were at least three ranks apart, but Zimrman was holding his own without showing any sign of weakness.
Once Charles entered the fray, he imdiately threw his two-handed battle axe, severing the legs of the Interdiate Rank high-section Ice Undead Knight.
Zimrman delivered the final blow with his sword, slaying the stubborn foe.
The slain Ice Undead Knight turned into a cold mist and dissipated, leaving behind only a two-handed greatsword surrounded by an aura of cold air, clearly no ordinary item.
In the Underground City of the City of Desolation, it was rare for monsters to drop Transcendent Weapons, but Zimrman grabbed the two-handed greatsword, imdiately praising it with “excellent” and swinging it once before asking, “Do you want to use it?”
Charles shook his head and said, “I’m not proficient with this kind of greatsword.”
Zimrman didn’t insist and replaced his own side sword with it.
...
Indeed, Charles wasn’t skilful in using two-handed greatswords or the broadswords that were popular in the New Continent; he was more adept with rapiers.
But if he had to, it wouldn’t be impossible for him; still, with his two-handed battle axe, there was no need for him to contend over this weapon with Zimrman.
Besides, he didn’t care much for one Transcendent Weapon.
Charles casually tried to disperse the cold mist left by the Ice Undead Knight after its death, but then he discovered a scroll, which he picked up curiously.
As he opened it, his heart skipped a beat.
It was a Magic Contract Scroll.
He had obtained two previously, one used on the Golden Goat Herolf and the other on Silverback Gorilla Quedero, providing him with two Sacred Level twenty-second level strongn.
That a Magic Contract Scroll could appear in this underground city was truly surprising.
Charles ntioned indifferently, “A magic scroll, do you want it?”
Zimrman had just acquired an ice-elent two-handed greatsword, so he waved it off, “It’s yours.”
Without showing his excitent, Charles pocketed the Magic Contract Scroll, musing, “Who is the right person to use this on?”
“Midaphis?
Once I get back to Fars, he’s probably already gone cold!
Mosleyd as well, and Antonio might have already had him killed.”
“Hmm, Zimrman is not quite right; things could go wrong.”
Charles had not yet found a subject for the Mirror Spectre; therefore, he also had no suitable candidate for this third Magic Contract Scroll.
However, he wasn’t in a rush to subdue new subordinates, as he already had quite a few at the Sacred level.
Moreover, he could now attract Sacred levels to his cause purely through his personal leadership charisma, like Vigo, like Agon, as well as several nobles from the Black Phoenix faction, without needing little tricks like the Magic Contract Scroll.
Charles gestured to Zimrman indicating they should continue their assault.
Zimrman reciprocated with a gesture of his own, ensuring he was ready to proceed.
They moved several hundred paces further before hearing an overwhelmingly loud noise; Charles shifted back to his human form, which allowed him to subtly use the Quickness Technique and sneak ahead.
It wasn’t long until he ca upon a monster den comprising roughly a few hundred monsters with green skin and short stature, though several chiefs were tall and each holding a magic wand embellished with a flag, clearly taking on the role of Shaman Wizards.
Charles quietly retreated and said to Zimrman, “There are too many monsters, we simply can’t beat them.”
The two of them, one having just advanced to the Seventh Rank and the other only capable of using the Second Level of Bloodthirsty Fighting Spirit, were indeed having a tough ti facing hundreds of monsters.
Zimrman whispered, “Let’s find sowhere to rest first.”
Charles nodded, and the two of them moved away from the monster’s den to find a place to rest.
After Charles practiced for a while, he made an excuse to leave and soon returned to the monster’s den.
Charles weighed the Two-Handed Battle Axe in his hands, spat on the ground, activated Bloody Glory, and turned into a whirlwind that entered the midst of the monsters.
Charles, posing as Qian Nan, of course did not dare to act rashly, but the real Charles was fearless.
The dozen or so monsters in front were smashed into minced at by the axe’s glow before they even had a chance to blink.
A green-skinned Shaman Wizard raised its hand to launch a Fireball, but Charles klen didn’t even spare it an extra glance.
With his Two-Handed Battle Axe, he swatted away the Fireball and casually split the monster leader in half with an axe.
It didn’t take much effort for Charles to kill the few hundred monsters; within the ti it takes half an incense stick to burn, he had wiped them out completely, reaping more than ten Divine Fragnts and a weapon similar to a long spear before casually departing.
He returned to the resting place and called out with a hint of excitent, “I just went to take a leak and encountered a monster.
I killed it and actually got this Short Spear!”
This weapon, similar to a long spear, was much shorter than a Knight’s Spear, and Charles wasn’t used to it at all.
If it weren’t for the fact that it was an Extraordinary Weapon, he wouldn’t have bothered taking it back.
Zimrman glanced at the Short Spear and his eyes lit up slightly as he said, “If you don’t need it, give it to .”
As expected, Charles gave Zimrman the Short Spear.
This was a Second Level Extraordinary Weapon with the built-in properties of Swiftness Spell and Sharpness, which really suited Zimrman’s combat style.
Because they were inconvenient to carry, Knight’s Spears weren’t popular in the New Continent, but these Short Spears about the height of a person were very popular, and he had a very decent Short Spear Technique.
Charles didn’t feel anything special about giving away a Second Level Extraordinary Weapon casually.
He had also given away Legendary Warships without hesitation!
The Sacred Level Dragon Slaying Stick, he had also handed over to Antonio without a second thought.
But Zimrman obviously felt a bit differently.
Charles said he didn’t want the Divine Fragnts, so he really didn’t take a single one, and even when he went out alone to kill monsters, he would bring back one or two Divine Fragnts for Zimrman.
If he encountered a suitable weapon, he wouldn’t keep it to himself, he would ask him first…
He caressed the Short Spear with a beaming smile, apparently lost in thought.
Initially, Charles hadn’t felt anything special, but as ti went on, he started to feel increasingly uneasy.
He quickly urged, “Let’s go hunt monsters again.”
“Once we get stronger, we’ll co back and wipe out this nest of monsters.”
Zimrman agreed and shouldered the Short Spear, holding the Ice Greatsword in both hands as he followed Charles’s steps.
After more than a dozen battles, Charles finally took another step forward; Bloodthirsty Fighting Spirit advanced to the Fourth Level, awakening a new Special Ability—Thick Skin!
As the na suggests, Thick Skin was an ability that made Bearn even tougher and more resistant, an defensive-oriented ability.
While Thick Skin was very useful for ordinary Bearn, for Charles, who relied on his superb Martial Techniques and was rarely injured, the increase in combat capability was not substantial.
