Chapter 43 Holy Light Magic Ball
(Chapter 43 has been revised)
As he spoke, Xiao Yan extended his right hand, palm facing upward. The magical energy in the air fluctuated violently, and countless tiny points of light rapidly converged, eventually solidifying into a fist-sized magical sphere radiating pure, holy white light. Inside the sphere, liquid holy light seemed to flow and rotate slowly, and at its core, a blazing white light core, like a miniature sun, emitted a warm and powerful aura, subtly repelling and purifying the surrounding dark energy.
Lin Tian held his breath, his gaze completely drawn to the magic ball radiating divine power. Xiao Yan handed him the ball.
Lin Tian stretched out his hands, as if holding a rare treasure, and carefully accepted it.
[Acquired Equipment: Holy Light Orb (Off-hand Equipment)]
[Rank: S]
【Effect:
Holy Light Judgment: Increases all spell damage dealt to abyssal and undead creatures by 30%!
Magic Coordination: Reduces the cooldown of all active skills by 30%!
Mana Affinity: Reduces the mana cost of all active skills by 30%!
"Hiss—!" The moment Lin Tian saw the equipment's attributes, even though he had scavenged a set of top-tier B-grade gear in the newbie village and witnessed the terrifying power of the S-rank Fireball spell, he couldn't help but gasp, and his heart started pounding uncontrollably!
30% increased damage against Abyssal Undead! This is practically the bane of mission objectives! 30% cooldown reduction! This means his burst damage frequency and control chain will experience a qualitative leap! 30% reduced mana cost!
Combined with his terrifying mana pool of 15550 points and the insane mana sustain provided by [Starfall] which automatically restores 5% of his mana per second (777.5 mana points per second)...
This is a divine artifact tailor-made for his current mission, allowing him to transform into a perpetual motion machine of magical artillery!
"Is there anything else you need? If not, get lost! Don't disturb my sleep!" Xiao Yan waved his hand at Lin Tian and said.
He then sat back in the chair and lay down halfway.
"Haha, that's all. Then I won't bother you anymore." With that, Lin Tian walked out of the room and closed the door behind him.
......
The ancient, heavy wooden doors of the professional hall closed silently behind him, and Lin Tian took a deep breath.
He then unfolded the map, pale gold lines outlining the city of Luoxia and its vast surrounding territory. His gaze swept across the northern border of the map like a hawk's, following the winding path northward, until finally, a mark radiating an ominous dark red aura firmly fixed his gaze.
Abyss Fortress
According to the map, this is a place several hundred kilometers away from Luoxia City.
Even driving stealthily at full speed, it would take two hours to get there.
"Looks like I'll need to find a mount sometime. Summoned beasts don't offer any movement speed bonus; they're not even as fast as me!"
Reality was staring him in the face; complaining was pointless. Lin Tian put away the map, his figure blurring as if disappearing into the shadows of sunlight, and activated [Stealth]!
Lin Tian then arrived at a pharmacy.
Stepping into the store, the shelves were filled with a dazzling array of potion bottles, each shimmering with a different magical glow—far superior to the inferior goods he had acquired in his newbie village.
I spent a few gold coins to replace all the low-level potions I had bought from the general store in the newbie village.
After resting, I activated stealth mode and followed the map's guidance, heading at full speed towards the [Abyss Fortress].
......
The majestic North Gate of Luoxia City was right before our eyes. Two squads of heavily armed guards stood like statues on either side of the gate, their sharp eyes scanning the flow of people coming and going.
Just then, an extremely sudden, high-speed airflow, as if compressed to its limit, swept across the city gate passageway!
"Huh?" The guard on the left suddenly jolted, his eyes widening beneath his helmet. "That's strange! Did a gust of evil wind just 'whoosh' past? It gave my neck a chill!"
"Bullshit! Where did that wind come from?" Guard B scoffed, nudging his companion with his elbow. "I think you were 'practicing' too hard with your wife last night, your legs are weak and your eyes are blurry, are you hallucinating from standing guard?"
"What nonsense are you spouting! I'm wide awake! There was definitely something just now..." Guard A retorted, his neck stiff, before he could finish speaking.
Go for it! Go for it!
Two sharp, precise taps landed on the foreheads of the two guards, with considerable force.
"Ouch!" ×2
The two immediately covered their heads and grimaced.
"Shut up, both of you! We're on guard duty, what kind of talk is this, grinning like that!" The captain of the guards withdrew his hand, glaring at them and shouting, his stern face filled with exasperation. "If you make another sound, you two will be patrolling the city walls tonight!"
Lin Tian, who had already passed through the city gates smoothly like a ghost and run far away, sensed this little incident behind him and couldn't help but smile mischievously.
Leaving the protective sphere of Sunset City, the wide, flat official road beneath our feet gradually gave way to the rugged wilderness. Wandering monsters began to appear in our field of vision; their forms were ferocious, and even the lowest level was marked with a scarlet indicator of [Lv.10]. These roaming monsters acted like moving warning lines, exuding an aura of danger.
Lin Tian continued forward without pausing for a moment.
Lin Tian's stealth skill is of grade A, meaning that anti-stealth skills of grade A or lower cannot detect him.
He skillfully maneuvered and darted around the edge of the monster's perception range, precisely avoiding any unnecessary entanglements.
The desolate landscape receded rapidly, the open plains gradually swallowed by the deep, dense ancient forest. The air grew cold and damp, the light dimmed, and the level of the monsters roaming around quietly increased to [Lv.20].
Along the way, he even caught a glimpse of several exceptionally large elite monsters, their bodies shrouded in crimson aura, and some even suspected to be bosses, lurking deep in the forest, radiating a chilling pressure.
If I weren't in such a hurry to get to the Abyss Fortress, I would have killed the BOSS first no matter what.
The density of the towering ancient trees began to decrease, and the dark forest receded like a tide. Suddenly, a clearing appeared before us, with a rugged and steep valley stretching out like a wound cracked in the earth.
The valley was filled with an even colder atmosphere, and the air seemed to be filled with a strange smell of sulfur and rust.
The creatures roaming here are already at level [Lv.30]! Their appearances are even more twisted and terrifying, and just sensing the ferocious aura they exude from afar is enough to make ordinary players tremble with fear.
Lin Tian's expression grew increasingly focused, and his stealthy movements became even more elusive. He clung tightly to the rugged cliffs of the valley, compressing his presence to the extreme, like the most seasoned scout, silently traversing the edge of death.
Finally, after passing through the oppressive, enormous valley, we walked for a while along a path strewn with gravel and withered thorns.
