The Almighty Ring

“How darb…”

Jiang Fei was annoyed. If he wanted to continue the Title Challenge Quest, he would need to obtain permission to use the totem. If he did farm Reputation points, he would be “enticing” all the female Yetis!

At this point, Jiang Fei had already garnered the likes of various beauty queens. Some of them were cold, some of them were cute, but none of them were fierce-looking ones! Would it not be funny to see a large grown Yeti with its face on its chest, strolling around the street, chasing after Jiang Fei?

To be honest, Jiang Fei wanted to drop the quest and be done with it. However, the quest was not a random quest that an NPC gives out! Giving up on the quest would not reset the request as it had a fixed path to its quest line.

“Argh. F*ck it. I’ll just ask the NPC. I swear I’ll give up if he wants me to farm Reputation points,” said Jiang Fei. He was completely fine by not doing the quest since it was not compulsory for players to complete it.

Jiang Fei stomped his way across the thick snow and made his way to where the elder Yeti was. Following closely behind him was a parade of Yetis.

“Oh… I see a Nephilim Explorer. What brings you here?” said the elder in the common tongue. Thank goodness for that since Jiang Fei did not need to learn the language.

“I would like to permission to use the Snow Totem,” said Jiang Fei.

“What?! You want to use the Snow Totem? Do you wish to summon the Yeti King?” the elder got up to his feet and knocks the ground furiously with his walking stick.

“Yes,” said Jiang Fei. He had no idea how he had angered the elder Yeti but if he decided to attack, Jiang Fei would kill him effortlessly.

“Why do you want to summon the Yeti King? Speak!” said the elder Yeti as he moved closer to Jiang Fei with his chest, where his eyes were.

“To challenge him to a fight!” said Jiang Fei straightforwardly.

“My ears had betrayed me there. Say it again!”

“I said I want to challenge him to a fight!” cried Jiang Fei louder. Jiang Fei was thrown. Did the Yetis truly respect their king? Were they going to attack him to defend their king?

“Huh! Hah! Guu!” the elder Yeti roared in the Yeti language. Four Advanced Elite Yeti behind him suddenly changed into Hostile status and charged towards Jiang Fei.

“What’s the meaning of this!” cried Jiang Fei. The situation was odd. The elder Yeti as well as many other Yetis, excluding the female ones, remain neutral as their name tags were still yellow. If the elder wanted Jiang Fei killed, he would have the all the available fighters to attack him.

“Huh! Hah! Hah! Hah!” the four Advanced Elite Yetis roared.

“Bella, stay back. I’ll handle this myself,” said Jiang Fei. The four attackers were merely Level 75 Advanced Elite, even though Jiang Fei’s level was lower than them, he was so much stronger than they were.

Lifesteal Demon Form!

Jiang Fei activated his form skill. Having only 10 minutes of cooldown time, the skill from the Crimson Reaper was best suited for this fight.

After changing into the Lifesteal Demon form, Jiang Fei had turned into a handsome vampire with long claws as his weapon. His attack speed was twice per second originally. After morphing, he gained a 50% increase in attack speed, allowing him to attack so fast that his clawing attacks had afterimage left behind! With additional attack buff as well as Lifesteal effect, Jiang Fei had subdued all four Yeti in less than 10 seconds.

“Ding! You have passed the test!”

Right after Jiang Fei had defeated the four Yetis, a system message popped up. The four Yetis that had attacked Jiang Fei did not die but limp away. Their name tags changed from red back to yellow, indicating that the fight was merely a test of skill.

“Ah… Respected Explorer, you seem to be powerful. Even so, I must ask you once more. Do you really wish to challenge the Yeti King?” said the elder Yeti after he sat down.

“Yes,” said Jiang Fei. Things got weird. He was there to challenge the Yeti King and by common sense, the Yeti should be attacking him. However, instead of being angry, the elder Yeti seems to be hopeful.

“That’s great news! Explorer, when do you wish to start the challenge? I will help you with the summoning ritual!”

‘Something must be wrong with the Yeti King. Why would his own subject help a stranger to defeat him? They had, in fact, became a guide for me!’ Jiang Fei thought to himself as he cocked his head. The elder Yeti’s response was completely out of his expectation. Jiang Fei had thought that the quest would require him to farm Reputation points! Thank goodness he had not given up so soon!

“I wish to start right away,” said Jiang Fei. Since the elder Yeti was so cooperative, Jiang Fei did not wish to delay the quest any longer.

“Alright. However, there is a material required for summoning the Yeti King. You would need to kill a Drake and harvest its meat. We do not have such thing here,” said the elder Yeti.

“Not to worry. I have come prepared,” said Jiang Fei as he took out the meat that he had obtained from Drake Fluer.

“So it seems. Good. Explorer, do you still wish to summon the Yeti King?” said the elder Yeti.

“Yes,” said Jiang Fei. He was already getting sick of answering the same question over again.

“Oh! Ha! Huuuuu!” the elder Yeti roared loudly. After that, all the Yetis that had heard the roar fled as fast as they could. Even the ones that were following Jiang Fei persistently. There were some brave ones had merely stood at the same place while others ran to a corner of the snow and some had even started digging a hole to bury themselves.

“Are you ready?” said the elder Yeti.

“Anytime,” said Jiang Fei.

The elder Yeti nodded at Jiang Fei’s determination and led him towards the Snow Totem was.

“I will start the summoning ritual now. You must kill the Yeti King! Good luck!” said the elder Yeti as he started the ritual by muttering words of an unknown language.

“I will,” said Jiang Fei as he watched the elder Yeti. He thought that the Yeti King must be someone evil, like a tyrant. How else would his own subjects betray him like that?

After several moments, the elder Yeti placed the piece of Drake’s meat on the bottom of the totem and started chanting even faster.

After a minute or two, Jiang Fei felt a sudden tremor on the ground. The totem shook for a moment and glowed brightly. With a bright flash of light, the meat disappeared from the ground.

In that instant, a portal opened up on the top of the totem pole.

“Who dares to disturb the Yeti King’s sleep!”

A voice roared come out from the portal. Obviously, someone was feeling grumpy for being forcefully woken up.
