Chapter 16: Angel of Blood, Demonized Lord
As time passed, the first wave of demonized lizard warriors was wiped out. Lin Kong gained 2000 experience points. Despite being classified as ordinary rank monsters, the attributes of these demonized lizard warriors were almost equivalent to elite monsters of the same level and quality. Lin Kong glanced at his experience bar.
Experience: 1916/3890
"Just need to kill another 50 Lizard Warriors to level up," he mused.
Lin Kong picked up the nine treasure chests that had been dropped. These treasure chests typically didn't contain valuable items, and even if they did, they were usually geared toward warriors, not archers. Setting them aside, he retrieved the B-tier reward chest.
[Items you get: plane coins x1000, B-rank medal +1, Gale Bracers.]
Now, Lin Kong had three B-rank medals, allowing him to take three B-tier items out of this world. The treasure chest also contained a B-tier equipment.
[Gale Bracers]
Quality: B
Level: 5
Bonus: Defense+8, Strength+5, Constitution+5, Agility+4
Special effect: Attack speed +5%
Occupation: Archer
Lin Kong equipped the bracers immediately. As he finished, the second wave of demonized lizard warriors arrived.
"Perfect timing," he muttered, ready to test his new gear.
Holding the Bloodfang Longbow, he pulled the bowstring, and blue light quickly condensed into arrows.
Frost Shot! Precision Shot!
Arrows flew in rapid succession, each one doubling due to the "Multiple Arrow Shadows" effect.
-396! -396! -243! ...
Each hit emptied the monster's HP.
[Ding! You kill the demonized lizard warrior and gain: 40 experience points.]
Every attack not only reduced physical defense but also slowed the enemy and inflicted an additional 30 points of ice damage. Despite their high magical defense, Lin Kong's consistent attacks wore them down.
"Stop the human!" a voice shouted among the lizard warriors. Unfazed, Lin Kong continued his assault.
Deep in the burrow, a blood pool lay at the center, where the demonized lizardman lord stood, greedily absorbing the blood. A black eyeball on the ground emitted a demonic aura—the source of their demonization.
A lizard warrior rushed in, exclaiming, "Lord, a powerful human has invaded the burrow. We cannot stop him!"
The lizardman lord opened his black and red eyes, saying coldly, "Use your lives to stop him! Once I complete my evolution, I can resurrect you and grant you eternal life."
"Yes, Lord!" The lizard warrior hurried out.
"Foolish human," the lizardman lord sneered, "once my evolution is complete, it will be your end."
[You reach level 8 and gain 1 free attribute point.]
After killing the second wave of monsters, Lin Kong leveled up. He looked up to see more demonized lizard warriors rushing towards him from the depths of the burrow.
"It seems the lizardman lord's evolution is nearly complete," Lin Kong smiled, his Divine Wall now stacked with over 2000+ damage reduction points. These C-rank monsters couldn't harm him at all.
In a few minutes, Lin Kong shot and killed nearly 200 C-rank monsters, gaining a significant amount of experience points.
[You reach level 9 and gain 1 free attribute point.]
Lin Kong added his points in a 2:1 ratio for strength and agility.
Physical Attack: 190
He calmly walked deeper into the burrow. A blood pool came into view, and above it, the lizardman lord hovered mid-air, with a pair of demonic wings sprouting from its back.
Lin Kong examined its attributes.
[Lizardman Lord · Lord · Demonized]
Level: 5
Rank: B
HP: 220,000
Attack: 1400
Skills: Dark Burst, Dark Ripple, Rend, Demon Resurrection, Low Magic Resist
The lord's attributes were about 50% higher than an average B-rank lord. The lizardman lord's face twisted into a cruel smile.
"Human, welcome to your death!" it bellowed, launching itself at Lin Kong. Sunlight streamed through a gap, evaporating the thin blood mist in the pool.
"You think you can fly?" Lin Kong smirked, activating his SSS-level skill.
Radiant Blood God!
Endless blood enveloped Lin Kong, transforming him into a 9-meter-tall blood angel.
[Hint: You enter the blood angel state for 30 seconds, attribute +300%, HP x500%...]
His health surged to nearly 100,000, and his physical attack reached 694. He felt a surge of immense power.
"Which demon god do you serve?" the lizardman lord's eyes filled with fear.
Lin Kong laughed. "The demon I serve is called Evernight."
"Eternal Night Demon God?!" the lizardman lord's face became even more solemn.
Seeing the cautious look of his enemy, Lin Kong wanted to laugh. There might be a demon called Evernight, but the "Evernight" he referred to was himself.
"Kill!" Lin Kong launched his attack. The Bloodfang Longbow and arrows, strengthened by blood, expanded rapidly. He attacked with a longbow.
Frost Shot! Precision Shot! General Attack!
Under the ultimate Windfury bonus, his attack speed increased by 300%, reaching 29.4/s. Lin Kong's right hand moved so fast it left a blood-red afterimage.
Thwack, thwack, thwack!
Dense arrows shot at the lizardman lord.
-1258! -1258! -329!
The lizardman lord's HP dropped rapidly.
"Don't think your demon god's power will let you slaughter me easily," the lizardman lord growled, counterattacking with dark magic.
Boom!
Majestic energy surged towards Lin Kong. He stood still, mid-air, resisting the damage.
-3037!
Before transforming, he could withstand two attacks at most. In his blood angel state, he could resist over 30. Lin Kong fought head-on with the boss.
Storms of arrows bombarded the lizardman lord.
-448! +159! -448! +159!
With the lizardman lord's physical defense reduced by 300 points, Lin Kong's arrow damage exceeded 400. Each hit drained 159 HP, restoring 4611 HP per second. Lin Kong's health bar fluctuated between low and full.
The lizardman lord tried to recover, but it was futile against Lin Kong's relentless attack. Lin Kong had the absolute advantage, thanks to the numerous rewards from [Death Gift].
Fighting felt like cheating. Lin Kong couldn't help but revel in the ease. "The feeling of being overpowered is so intoxicating," he thought.
