One after another, I rammed against the hard cliff. I healed myself while drinking potions, and had almost completely recovered my health. Thankfully, I had Chi Youâs Body which increased my Health recovery by 200%. Plus, the Rulerâs Mantle [Cleansing Wind] also had a 2% heal recovery boosting effect. I somehow managed to hold up for 15 seconds!
Just as my health was about to hit the bottom, I cancelled my Dragonâs Hook. âShua!â I flew out, escaping Lin Hanâs grip!
âPeng!â
I flew right towards the cliff and then rolled forward. The sharp rocks slashed through my skin, making it extremely painful. I crashed into Frost, bringing her rolling down the cliff with me. âPu pu!â I coughed up blood onto Frostâ white mantle. When I finally stopped, I only had 400+ health left!
âHai haiâ¦â
I violently coughed as blood dripped down the side of my mouth. I felt extremely weak. To think that I would become this frail due to heavy wounds. I slumped down onto the ground, unable to exert any more energy.
Frost leaned against my chest and looked at all of the wounds on my body. Her tears continuously flowed down her cheek, washing away the blood and dirt. She cried, âIâm sorry⦠Iâm sorry⦠I shouldnât have let you join Dragon City. If I hadnât, you wouldnât have taken s\o many injuries, and you wouldnât have to go against such a terrifying enemyâ¦â
I couldnât help but chuckle and softly said, âWhat are you talking about? From the day that I joined Dragon City, I have never once regretted my actionsâ¦â
âButâ¦â
Tears rolled off of the beautiful face. Frost looked at me and softly whispered, âYou couldâve been like a regular adventurer and happily lived your days out in Ba Huang City gathering food and hunting for meat. With your strength and talent, you wouldâve become the most talented adventurer. There was no need for you to stand in this fearsome territory, no need for you to go against these savage Hybrid Demons and fear for your life every secondâ¦â
I looked at Frost and smiled, âBut, if I hadnât met you, then I wouldâve never been able to see what it truly meant to be strong, not to mention become as strong as I am now. Besides, I never was a patient guy, I wouldnât be able to peacefully stay as an average adventurer. I like sticking my nose into things, and rebelling. If I didnât have a strong teacher like you, then who would watch my backâ¦â
Frost grinned, and a tear rolled off her chin, âDonât say anymore, donât say it. We all might even die hereâ¦â
â¦â¦
At the bottom of the mountain. Su Ke raised his battle axe and supported Da Lin. He took a group of Dragon City Warriors and climbed up the mountain peak yelling, âFrost, weâve come backâ¦â
Frost leaned against me and looked at everyone. She then softly said, âI know. Hurry⦠hold off Hellâs Song⦠Lord Luo Lin⦠heâs close to Despair⦠Also, Su Ke, why have you brought Da Lin along with you? Heâs too frail!â
Su Keâs face was filled with determination, âAll of the Dragon City Warriors are my brothers. Weâve gone to battle together and we no longer see each other as strangers. Maybe today is Dragon Cityâs last battle. Either way, I cannot let Da Lin survive miserably at the bottom of the mountain. I brought him so that if he dies, then at least he dies with our brothersâ¦â
At that moment, the unconscious Da Lin suddenly raised a hand and âPa!â slapped Su Keâs face. We could hear it all the way from here, âYou motherf*cker, I guess I really have to thank you huhâ¦â
â¦â¦
Right at that moment, Luo Lin finally stood up. He reached out and grabbed the hilt of Despair. His entire body shook and a blood red aura enveloped his entire body. His veins looked as though they were about to explode as they popped out from his skin. Luo Lin gritted his teeth and let out an agonizing scream. His cape fluttered and suddenly the entire earth started to shake!
âShua!â
A ray of light surged into the sky from the weapon Despair and shock waves began to ripple throughout the area. Frost and I were embroiled into the chaos. I did all that I could to just keep my eyes open.
âKing Luo Lin got the Godly Weapon Despair! King Luo Lin got the Godly Weapon Despair!â Su Ke grabbed his battle axe and whooped.
All of the Dragon City Warriors started to chant, âLong Live Lord Luo Lin! Long Live Lord Luo Lin!â
â¦â¦
Lin Han arrogantly smiled and said, âYou dead bastard. Did you think that youâd be able to fight with Despair? The strength of that godly weapon is dependent on the person whoâs wielding it! For a man whoâs just a Sword God, just what makes you think you can control its power? Hahaha, let my Misfortune get a taste of Despair, how does that sound?â
The light began to diminish. Loo Lin raised Despair and quietly stood in the ruins. and slowly looked up, âAs you wish!â
âPa!â
Sparks flew and Luo Lin rushed at Lin Han. Gripping his sword in both hands, Luo Lin threw an energy slash!
Lin Han didnât say a word and raised his sickle with both hands and parried Luo Linâs attack!
âPeng!â
A loud boom sounded out and avalanches of rocks fell forward from the impact of the two godly weapons. The strength of the resulting shockwave was so strong that it collapsed some of the cliffs!
Lin Han retreated a dozen meters and halted before a notch in the cliff. He smiled, âLooks like itâs pretty strong. But if thatâs all youâve got, youâre still going to die!â
Lin Hanâs arm jolted and he finally looked as though he was getting serious. One after another, characters of hell began to appear in the air and revolve around his hand. They swirled in the air and then began to spiral around Misfortune. Lin Hanâs face became ruthless and he raised his sickle with both hands and laughed, âCome, why donât you have a taste of my âElegy of the Frozen Night!ââ
âHong!â
A crimson aura began to rise from the sickle. Lin Han seemed to have grown into a giant and the sickle hung in the air âShua shua shuaâ it flew out and dealt three attacks towards Luo Lin. Luo Lin had no other choice but to use Despair and parry the attack!
âKeng keng kengâ¦â
Sparks flew up in the light, and the entire mountain seemed like it was about to crumble. When the dust finally cleared, we could see that Lin Han was still standing in the air, while Luo Lin had collapsed into the rubble. Blood dripped from the corner of his mouth. After all, his enemyâs power was well above his. Even if Luo Lin obtained Despair, he still had no way of achieving victory.
Lin Han wryly smiled, âLuo Lin, did you see that? Even if you obtained a godly weapon, I can still easily crush you. In the end, trash like you doesnât deserve to use Despair. Come, give Despair to me. If you do so, I might consider leaving you with your body intact!â
Luo Lin gripped his long sword and said, âIn your dreams!â
âYouâre asking for it!â
Lin Han raised his arm and death energy began to gather at his palm. Suddenly, he threw an attack and âHong!â Luo Lin was enveloped into a whirlwind. The armor that covered his body ripped to pieces bit by bit. He was in so much pain that he agonizingly screamed. But, just as before, he did not let go of Despair. Determined, he held on, unwilling to give up this chance at victory. In reality, as long as Luo Lin dies, then every one of us here would die as well.
â¦â¦
Once the attack finished, Lin Han remained in the sky, and he smiled. Luo Lin knelt among the rocks, and the light from Despair had diminished. Lin Han coldly smiled, âDo you see that? The ultimate weapon has also become weak because its owner is a useless piece of sheet. Luo Lin, you useless thing, you were raised like a prince. Thereâs no way you can wield Despair. Give it to me, hahahaâ¦â
Luo Lin looked up, his eyes filled with determination, âNever!â
âYou pighead!â
Lin Han suddenly raised his sickle and the earth began to tremble. One after another, spirits of the dead began to leak from the earth and meld into the sickle. Looks like this was the ultimate attack from this Hellâs Song. Wan Er, Li Mu, Yan Zhao, Jian Feng Han and I looked at each other. All of us made our preparations, since we were most likely all going to die here!â
âWeâre screwedâ¦â Misty Clouds whispered with a clenched fist.
Han Bei Song gritted his teeth, âLooks like weâre all going to die at this rateâ¦â
Whoâs Blue pointed towards the west and said, âLook over there. Whatâs that dark cloud over there? It looks like itâs heading straight towards usâ¦â
Everyone looked over. Just as she had said, there was a dark cloud of flying animals flying towards us.
â¦â¦
âHuh?â
Lin Han furrowed his brows in confusion âI donât think I summoned anyone to battle. Why are those Sword Spirit Cavalrymen coming here? Unless⦠unless there was a new command from up there?â
A few seconds later, a great crowd of flying dragon riders came at us. All of them were mounted on black dragons which were covered in armor. The knights were also covered in an intricate black armor. They each carried a heavy sword and had cold eyesââ
Sword Spirit Dragon Riders, Level 7 Hybrid Demons. This was a high tier monster that had more power than we could ever imagine!
â¦â¦
Yan Zhao Warrior was stunned. He gritted his teeth. Even the sword in his hand trembled a little as he said, âF*cking hell⦠Even the Level 7 Hybrid Demons are here. Are they trying to bury us here? Motherf*cker, this isnât an SSS Tier Main Quest, this is a suicide mission. The people who designed this really are heartlessâ¦â
Jian Feng Han also looked dejected, âThis quest⦠itâs almost as though they never wanted us to succeed in the first placeâ¦ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Under the heals from Darling Duck, I quickly recovered and slowly stood up with the help of Frost. I looked at the group of Sword Spirit Cavalrymen in the distance. Frostâ eyes were filled with shock and she softly said, âThe legendary Sword Spirit Cavalrymen. To think that they were like this. These Dragon Riders are high tier warriors that guard the Sword Saints of the Hybrid Demon Territory. Theyâre the strongest and fastest troops on flying dragonsâ¦â
I said, âCan we defeat them?â
Frost softly shook her head, âThe history books recorded that any wise man would run as soon as they see the Sword Spirit Dragon Riders. Otherwise, theyâre doomed to die.â
I was speechless.
â¦â¦
Right at that moment, Sword Spirit Cavalryman with an insignia on his shoulder walked forward and respectfully said to Lin Han, âLord Hell Song, we have been commanded to invite you back and fight an enemy!â
âFight an enemy? Lin Han softly said, âWhat kind of an enemy would they require me?â
The Sword Spirit Cavalrymen lowered his voice, âItâs an enemy from the Southwest. Itâs the Dark Moon Elf!â
âDamnit!â
Lin Han raised a fist, âFor as long as I live, I will destroy those b*tches. Come, follow me!â
â¦â¦
As he finished talking, Lin Han looked back at Luo Lin and coldly smiled, âThis time you were lucky. But you remember, your life is mine and so is Despair. Just you wait. Once I fight back the Dark Moon Elves, that is the day that you will die. No matter where you are, I will come from your head!â
