Armipotent

Chapter 162 - Flash Step

Dadada! Dadada!

The Flame Castle and the military combined group were facing a big pack of Dire Wolf. The soldiers shoot the wolves with their guns, rained down with their bullets.

A few wolves fell, but many still rushed toward them with their violent gazes.

”We canʼt hold on any longer, these are our last bullets!” The captain yelled to the side, where the Flame Castle people hid behind the trees. Lin Duan who became the leader of the team sent an okay signal to the captain.

At the range, he signaled his subordinates to ambush the wolves. They came out of the bushes and started their assault against the wolves. Most of them were stage-1 and stage-2, they faced the wolves fairly well despite being outnumbered.

Lin Duan dashed behind the trees, his responsibility was to kill the biggest wolf, the stage-3 Dire Wolf. He swiftly and sneakily moved behind the trees. When he was near the stage-3 Dire Wolf, he leaped with the silver spear in his hand. Holding the spear with his two hands, he wanted to end the wolf with one strike to the head.

Alas, the stage-3 Dire Wolfʼs instinct ticked it at the last moment. The wolf avoided the spear but with a cost of its right foreleg, a deep cut line formed into the ankle before the wolf managed to make some distance from Lin Duan.

”Tsk, should use [Enhanced Strength]…” Lin Duan muttered in regret for not using Warriorʼs only skill. He could tear the leg down; it would be easier for him to kill the stage-3 wolf with only three limbs.

The stage-3 Dire Wolf knew it was in danger, it immediately howled to call the other wolves. Hearing the howl, the stage-2 wolves turned back, rushing toward Lin Duan.

”This fine too, it will reduce the casualty…” he muttered while rotating the silver spear in his hand as he turned toward the incoming three stage-2 Dire Wolves.

The three Dire Wolves lunged toward him head-on. Speed and agile movement was the biggest advantage of the Dire Wolf, but Lin Duan had studied everything about them in the last three days. He took the side step, dodging the three wolves. He lowered his body then he lunged forward while thrusting the spear to the neck.

[Enhanced Strength]

Spurt!

Blood spurted to his face and chest from the small gap around the spear. The spear pierced through the neck and went forward, passed through the neck before it stabbed another wolf on the other side. Lin Duan pinned the two wolves down and twisted the spear for the last move.

The two wolves whimpered before their eyes lost the light of life. He pulled the spear and jumped to the third wolf, he stabbed the spear to the head and twisted the spear for the final touch.

”Third died, where are the others?” Lin Duan turned around after he pulled the spear, ready for another battle. This time it was five wolves, but again, two more wolves posed no threat to the elite soldier of the Flame Castle.

Five minutes later, the situation changed, the wolves number dwindled into five while a hundred men surrounded them. Lin Duan yelled loudly, ”Charge!” They overwhelmed the five wolves with the number while Lin Duan took down the limping stage-3 Dire Wolf.

[You have leveled up!]

[You gained 2 attribute points!]

[You can allocate the attribute point by opening the status screen!]

A notification rang in Lin Duanʼs head when he ended the life of stage-3 Dire Wolf. His hard work was not a waste, he leveled up, and he was Level 42 now. He opened his status screen and allocated two Attribute Points into Strength and Agility.

Looking at the increasing attribute, a smile formed on his lips while nodding his head. But soon, his smile froze when another notification rang, his face paled.

[The Tang Empire has slain the Guardian of the Clarity Forest!]

[You have completed the Individual Objective]

[Congratulations! You have gained +20 Skill Points]

[The Flame Castle has gained a consolation reward for surviving in the third portal for participating!]

[The Flame Castle acquired one Level 8 Treasure Chest!]

[Good luck and work hard for the next portal ^.^]

[The third Portal has been cleared!]

[You will be teleported out in ten minutes]

Lin Duanʼs face turned blue, especially when he saw the happy emoji. But he could not say anything, those people from the Empire of Tang were monsters. He had encountered the Beast King, the Dire Wolf King. The encounter cost them fifteen lives, fifteen soldiers became the food of the Beast King before it stopped chasing them.

However, those monsters managed to kill the Guardian of the Clarity Forest which was the big boss.

ʼJust how!?ʼ Lin Duan screamed inside but he calmed down soon, ʼWe have to avoid conflict against them, at least until the Survival Game is over,ʼ taking a deep breath, Lin Duan walked over the Treasure Chest that spawned not far from him.

Under his subordinatesʼ gaze, he opened the consolation reward that released blinding light. A few moments later, he saw a scroll inside the chest. He took the scroll and read the information that popped on top of the scroll.

———

[Class Change Scroll]

[Advanced Class: Spearman]

———

Looking at the information, a wide grin formed on his face. The time for him to shine had come.

*** ***

Talent Reroll Scroll, a useless scroll for him but might be useful for his subordinates. He tossed the scroll to the air and caught it again.

—You can give the scroll Summoner Girl, she needs to change her talent that suits her class.

Zaneos advised Tang Shaoyang who was weighing how important the Talent Reroll Scroll was. He shook his head as he did not agree with The Demon Swordsmanʼs idea, ʼShe has a chance to get a new talent with a million Game Coins. We donʼt how rare the scroll is, so better save it for the rainy day,ʼ

If Li Na did not get talent that suited her after a million coins spent, he could let her have the scroll. However, if he could get more Talent Reroll Scroll in the next portal, he could consider giving her one to reroll her talent.

—That will do as well. Letʼs open the next chest!

There was an eagerness in Zaneosʼ voice. It seemed he loved gacha as the chest could be considered a gamble as you would get random things from it. The difference from gamble was you got nothing to lose from opening the chest. Karan did not have an interest in such a thing, the thing he loved was battle.

Tang Shaoyang saved the scroll into the inventory but he soon realized his inventory slots were full. Five different Beast Kingʼs dead bodies, The Winged Lionʼs carcasses, his battle-ax, Crystal Inventory Bag, Change Class Scroll, and his reserve weapon, Soul Reaper.

He had twenty Crystal Inventory Bags, so he without hesitation pressed [Upgrade].

—————————

Upgrade Inventory Bag Lv2

Requirement: 2x Crystal Inventory Bags + 100,000 Game Coins

Yes/No?

—————————

He pressed yes, and in that instant, his inventory increased by ten slots. After that, he stored the scroll and walked toward the first Level 7 Treasure Chest.

Tang Shaoyang opened the chest under his subordinateʼs curious gaze. It was another scroll inside the chest. He picked the scroll.

———

[Skill Scroll]

Advanced Skill: Fire Spear

———

He was quite delighted to get the skill scroll, but [Fire Spear]?

—Itʼs a skill for Mage Class, none of your subordinates is a mage, but a few of them with [Mana Mastery] could use the skill. The skill is throwing fire spear, quite a common skill in my previous world. So a 2nd tier spell is considered an advanced skill…

At the end of Zaneosʼ explanation, he could hear a small murmur, ʼThrowing a fire spear, so itʼs an offensive then…ʼ

—Whatʼs wrong with that? Offensive skill is also good

ʼIf itʼs a defensive skill, I can give the skill to Li Na. She relies on her summon, but when her summon is away, she is defenseless,ʼ Tang Shaoyang shared his thoughts.

—Fair point, save the skill for later then. I donʼt recommend you to learn the skill as it will drain your mana faster

Tang Shaoyang saved the scroll to the inventory as he opened the next one. As the blinding light dispersed, yet another scroll was found inside the chest. He picked the scroll and it was a Skill Scroll again.
