Chapter 100: Blade Demon

“Ow ow…”

My head smacked onto the stone floor while my arm was being hugged by Lin Yixin . Her situation was even more miserable than mine, since she had smashed into a nearby stone pillar and was yelping in pain .

Swhoos.h.!.+

An electric light suddenly flashed on the ground below me!

Not good!

I sprang up and used all my energy to roll away with Lin Yixin in my embrace!

Crackle!

Lightning fell and the Fire Blade let out its dying throes . It had instantly died . My Dark Wasp had thankfully escaped that calamity because it had followed me .

Lin Yixin struggled to stand . With a bright red face, she said in an annoyed tone, “What’s going on?”

I pointed at the charred ground . “You almost got struck by lightning…”

“ . . . ”

I walked several steps forward before retrieving my Beast-faced Turmoil Helmet . My equipment had actually been forcibly sent flying by a monster . I wondered what sort of thing had that kind of strength .

Lin Yixin gazed up at the end of the steps and deeply breathed . “The second floor’s mobs seem really strong!”

“Did you see what it was?” I asked .

Lin Yixin’s lips moved, but she only gave a vague answer . “I don’t know how to describe it . It’s just really ugly, as ugly as a ghost . It was holding two sharp blades in its hands so it shouldn’t be too low-leveled!”

I nodded, then ran back up to the second floor with my sword and swiftly struck at the black figure in front of me!

Ice Ray!

Puchi!

My longsword that became a cone of ice tore through the black figure’s Defense . Blood splattered as a layer of frost condensed on my opponent’s body . At this time, my field of view had also cleared up . Due to my arrival, the area had lightened up and the thing before me was truly as Lin Yixin described, ugly . But it wasn’t your typical ugly!

A triangular head and two eyes br.i.m.m.i.n.g with cruelty . Skin akin to fish, clad in scale armor . Though its head wasn’t too large, it had a long neck and a stooped body with a back full of barbs . Grasped in each hand was a sharp blade glinting with cold metallic sheen . It seemed to be a valiant general carrying an army banner, but it was just that it was disastrously hideous .

I glanced at the little beauty behind me . Lin Yixin’s eyes were fraught with killing intent, shockingly beautiful . I looked to my front again . This monster was just so d.a.m.n ugly . The contrast between beauty and ugliness was huge . Love could turn people crazy!

Blade Demon

Level: 59

Attack: 250~480

Defense: 300

HP: 5700

Skills: Cleave, Brutality

Introduction: Guardian of the Ancient Thunder Temple’s second floor . Ever since they were tamed by the Thunder General, these strong Blade Demons have become emissaries of death, the nightmare of all adventurers .

……

Lin Yixin stuck her tongue out and grinned . “So strong . 480 Attack, no wonder your brain got knocked out…”

“f.u.c.k, whose brain got knocked out…”

I lifted my sword and jumped into fray . The Ghost Ice Soul was flooded by dense blood-red energy and abruptly smashed onto the Blade Demon’s head . A powerful strike, right after I used Pardon .

2219!

Lin Yixin was left speechless . She swung her Snow Shadow Sword, snowflakes following its wake, and hacked away a chunk of its remaining HP . My Dark Wasp charged forward and stung thrice, followed by the Fire Blade’s one attack, ending this Level 59 Blade Demon’s life . It collapsed to the floor with a wail, only having attacked once before its sudden demise .

I stepped on its corpse and used Death Plunder but came out empty-handed . “This Blade Demon’s Attack is really strong but its Defense is inferior to the first floor’s h.e.l.lhounds . It’s a gla.s.s cannon type of mob so I don’t think we should split up . Attacking together will help us minimize damage taken!”

Lin Yixin nodded . “Mn, okay!”

The Blade Demon had low Defense so it would basically die under one round of attacks from me and Lin Yixin . Luring another one over wouldn’t be an issue either, and the experience gained from it would be amazing . My experience bar rose by 1% after 2–3 Blade Demons, a satisfying leveling speed indeed .

After a while, Lin Yixin stopped, then sighed softly .

“What’s wrong?” I asked .

“I told Zi Chuanyu, Qingqing, and the rest to form a party and come here but I didn’t expect that they wouldn’t even be willing to stay at the first floor . They think that the lightning formation here is too complicated, and that leveling here is too hard if a moment of carelessness can spell their doom…”

“Haha, I guess so!”

Lin Yixin raised her head to look at me and then suddenly said, “It’s 1:30 pm already . We should be having lunch at this time . Always trying to dodge the lightning is a bit tiring . Let’s log off and continue after lunch?”

I nodded . “We’ve pretty much killed almost all the mobs on the second floor . Let’s kill two more and get me to Level 54 before we go . ”

“Mn, alright~”

In the blink of an eye, two Blade Demons fell to the ground, followed by a pillar of golden light . I actually reached Level 54 after killing these two!

Lin Yixin followed the second floor’s map to a corner and was searching around for a while before she suddenly said with a happy smile, “Lu Chen, over here!”

“What, found the boss?”

Lin Yixin pointed at a smooth spot on the stone floor . “No, look . There are no signs of this spot being hit by lightning at all . Mn, we can set up a tent and log off right here!”

I was stunned . “Dammit!”

“What?” Lin Yixin’s gaze shot over and smirked . “Don’t tell me you didn’t bring a tent?”

I nodded . “Right, I’ve always been sleeping inside graves so I’m not used to bringing along tents . ”

Lin Yixin was speechless . “You’ve always been sleeping inside graves? That’s pretty unique . Forget it, I have an extra single-use tent here with me . Take it!”

“How could I possibly do that?” I said bashfully as I took the tent .

“If you’re embarra.s.sed, give me 1 gold . ”

“Ah, today’s moon is so round…”

“ . . . ”

I put up the tent next to hers and logged off after I went inside .

……

The workshop’s living room was very quiet . There was a boxed meal on the table . Already cold sweet and sour spare ribs were inside . To be honest, I didn’t really like spare ribs and I liked eating sweet and sour things even less .

Right at this moment, my phone rang . It was Lin Yixin .

“h.e.l.lo? What’s up, party leader?” I asked with a smile .

Lin Yixin let out a giggle, then said grumpily, “Lunchtime is over so the dining hall’s closed . You got somewhere to eat in your area?”

“Yeah, Happy House…”

“Too expensive!”

“No problem . If you treat me, I won’t think that it’s too expensive . ”

“ . . . ”

After talking it over, we decided that she was asking me out, but I would be treating her . That was to repay a favor . Lin Yixin could grind in the Ancient Thunder Temple alone but she took me with her . My leveling speed soared when I went there, so I really owed her a good meal . After all, a meal only cost 100 or 200 yuan . At the rate I was leveling, if I got to Level 60 early and went through the third promotion, my gains would be much more substantial than that . I would maintain my level and gear advantage, and if a Gold or Dark Gold–grade item dropped, selling it would net me tens of thousands!

I went out and once I reached Happy House, I saw Lin Yixin’s beautiful figure appear on the campus woods’ small path in the distance . She was making her way here on foot instead of using that Benz . Seems like she was so broke she didn’t even have gas money .

I walked up and greeted her, “Beauty Yi, no parasol? Getting tanned wouldn’t be good…”

Lin Yixin smoothed her lips into a smile . “No need . I think I’m too pale, getting a little tan would be good . ”

My head was drenched in sweat .  This girl’s seriously arrogant!

“Eh? Why aren’t you using a parasol?” Lin Yixin looked at me with a smile .

I shook my head . “No need, today’s 36 degree suns.h.i.+ne feels great…”

“Oh, really?”

Lin Yixin smiled meaningfully, then said, “Let’s go . We need to finish eating fast so we can get to the third floor . There’s a boss there!”

“Mn . ” I walked with her on the little path off campus . “Actually, it'd be best if we had a priest to kill the third floor’s boss . It’ll be too dangerous otherwise . The second floor’s Blade Demons are already Level 59 so the third floor’s boss will definitely be over Level 60 . We’ll enter a world of pain if that is the case . ”

“Yeah, but a priest wouldn’t be too willing to come to the Ancient Thunder Temple . There’s no pattern to the lightning and they’d be scared of dying if they weren’t fast enough . I asked a few priests but none of them want to come . They also said…”

She suddenly stopped talking and angrily kicked a pebble on the floor .

“What else did they say?”

“They also said that unless I agree to eat with them, they won’t come…” A trace of killing intent leaked out from Lin Yixin as she tightened her fist . “What do those garbage think I am? So hateful…”

I laughed . It seems like Lin Yixin eating with me was already giving me a lot of face .

“Forget it, it’s fine if we don’t have a priest . A priest at the current stage of the game only heal for around 200 and we both have more than 1000 HP . We’d either get one-shot by the boss or kill the boss ourselves so a priest wouldn’t matter much . Never mind, never mind . ”

I comforted her and almost believed my own lies . But Lin Yixin felt good hearing that and shot me an extremely sweet smile .

… . . .

Happy House, first floor .

It was already 2 pm but there were still quite a few people here eating lunch .

Lin Yixin and I sat at a two-seat table and ordered a few dishes . The total was around 150 RMB, a tolerable range . I planned to use the workshop’s funds to pay this bill . Lin Yixin was still Snowy Cathaya’s guild leader so me treating her to a meal furthered our relations.h.i.+p . It could be considered public relations .

The dishes soon arrived . I ate like a mess while Lin Yixin remained aloof . When she saw my appalling table manners, she quietly uttered, “Slow down, my ba.s.s… I haven’t even gotten a good look at it before it was gone . Wuuwuu, Lu Chen you brute, let’s order a few more…”

When we were eating, a few people that looked like students were also having lunch, chattering on . The skinny guy of their group with bared arms said, “Did you guys hear that Dominating Heaven Blade took the Domination Clan to Frost Forest? I heard that a boss sp.a.w.ns there . ”

Another person answered, “Dominating Heaven Blade wants a Hero’s Token so bad he’s gone mad . He has killed five bosses over Level 50 in half a week but he’s so d.a.m.n unlucky that he hasn’t gotten the token still . ”

“Haha, heard that he’d also been killed by Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand in Silver Moon Valley during one of those nights . How amusing!”

A guy in a red s.h.i.+rt asked, “Have you guys decided yet? Do we join Snowy Cathaya or G.o.ds of Destruction? Or Mad Dragon…”

That skinny guy smirked . “Why think? Join Mad Dragon . As long as you join their main 200-unit core, you can earn at least 2000 RMB!”

“Haha, right, let’s join Mad Dragon!”

……

Lin Yixin and I looked at each other .  Mad Dragon’s so popular . I wonder what Roaming Dragon does in real life . Is his dad not Lu Gang but a money printing machine? d.a.m.n!
