Chapter 1959: Chapter 1959: The Second Treasure Chest
“Even at a time like this, you don’t forget to recruit people. You’re becoming more like a guild master.”
Upon entering the portal, the two found themselves in a dim corridor. Since there was no immediate danger, Ya Ji spoke.
Li Yao shook his head: “I was just saying it casually. The main realm is not necessarily easy or difficult; it depends on their circumstances. We currently lack population, so any additional strength is good. Although this realm is about to collapse, it has some strong unique elite occupations. If they take root in our place, new professions will emerge. Of course, it doesn’t matter if they don’t come; after all, it’s just a token of goodwill, no reason to make enemies.”
Ya Ji nodded: “These people are too frightening, you could even say it’s been planned over millennia. This Pyramid Tomb is too terrifying. I don’t know how many powerful figures have died, well, it’s the Ashes of this world suppressing their Creator God, truly terrifying.”
“Indeed there were remarkable talents with such planning, not confined to a single generation, and they succeeded. Amon, as the world’s Creator God, is extraordinary. To restrain her, these people are both admirable and formidable.” Li Yao sighed.
The two soon arrived at a hall. The hall was not large, but a sense of decay permeated it.
“This place is strange, isn’t this level supposed to imprison the ancient divine body created by Amon? Why is it so quiet? There’s neither the supposed body nor any danger.” Ya Ji frowned.
Li Yao activated the lantern, and as the soul lights flickered, their vision expanded, while Ya Ji ignited the lamps on the walls.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Lamps ignited automatically, the hall suddenly lit up, soon it became as bright as daytime.
“Better be careful, my dark touch is agitated. The corrosive power of the Void here is extremely dense.” Li Yao also frowned slightly, unable to understand the situation.
Ya Ji nodded and said: “Look up, the murals above should be similar to what Dance King narrated.”
“These paintings must be many years later than this Underground Palace.” Li Yao shared his archeological departure scene.
They seemed to be watching an epic movie, the scene beginning with the victory of three races. The God’s clan occupied the western mountains to build this Holy City. The Grand Witch ruled over other developing humans, establishing human civilization and occupying the endless plains, while Dwarfs continued living in caves and the underground world.
Bonfires spread, bright light dazzled.
Amon’s miracles appeared continuously. With Amon’s strength growing over time, faithful followers from all races traveled from afar to the Holy City, bringing materials Amon required.
The first generation Salary King started very cooperative but uncovered Amon’s conspiracy as they delved deeper.
However, Amon’s faith had entrenched deeply, not something he could shake. He quietly plotted and shared his findings with the Grand Witch and Great Craftsman.
But they had time, since they were creating a divine body, something not accomplished overnight.
After enduring and planning for two generations of Salary Kings, the Great Craftsman finally revealed his fangs, constructing this massive project, burned himself to seal and completed most of the divine body.
And with countless years of struggle, everything shaped into today’s scale.
Especially the last generation of Salary King, willing to sacrifice the Sacred Teaching and himself, burned himself to seal the entire Holy City deep in the world.
Now as time and space start to swirl and the world approaches destruction, Amon has found an opportunity to pull the Holy City out of the seal, re-emerging, plotting this unprecedented sacrificial ritual after long preparation.
“A body can still be created, and it’s an ancient god’s body, it sounds too much.” Ya Ji shook her head speechlessly.
“It’s not that simple, you cannot create something from nothing. They possess remnants of an ancient god’s body.” Li Yao took a deep breath: “Like the trolls of Zandalari, they also created an ancient god, equally terrifying but based on remnants of an ancient god’s body. During the ancient battle in the main realm, the ancient gods paid an unimaginable price. But it may not be related to the body touching darkness, rather other ancient gods’ bodies, just not sure whose.”
“Can your dark touch subdue it?” Ya Ji’s eyes lit up.
“Not so easily, if it were, my dark touch would have been invincible long ago. But maybe there is some function, at least it won’t repel me excessively.” Li Yao gazed at the ground: “The ground is full of runes, should be sealed beneath our feet. We are still safe, meaning Amon’s will is not here, and the dark touch causes them confusion. This is, after all, a body, should only have instincts.”
“Then us?” Both were not demolition experts; after inspection, there was only this hall and besides it a treasure chest not inferior to what a bishop discovered.
“I have a rough idea, let’s open this treasure chest first, then quickly return to the surface, and you just enjoy the show then.”
Li Yao said as he began opening the treasure chest. Opening this chest took quite some time, but fortunately, there was no disturbance, and it went smoothly.
The chest opened, this time containing only three items: a light group, something akin to glass shards, and a dark purple crystal shield.
“Indeed, luck finally smiled upon us.” Li Yao took a deep breath and said.
Purple Ling Shield, is an oddly shaped shield, like crystal. It’s an epic dark gold item, absolutely the top shield for current players, almost a graduation shield for tank occupations.
Due to its shape and material, it can immune a significant portion of physical attacks, which is not all; crucially, it can offset a considerable part of force, which is critically important.
Whether a tank can hold steady is often crucial, and this feature makes it an excellent shield.
Moreover, this shield can reflect magic, and it’s group reflection, turning magic with light effects into dozens of beams; although damage decreases, the number of reflections compensates, making total damage probably exceed the original magic’s.
Imagine, whether handling group monsters or PvP; an enemy’s magic assault transforms into dozens of spells. In dense spell situations, it’s simply magnificent, practical whether battling or attracting monsters. If you don’t get the graduation divine shield, this shield can be used permanently; even with a graduation shield, it’s very useful in many situations.
“This shield is so suitable for guarding that person, but according to the rule between the two, the shield is certainly for the fruit to use first. Probably the guardian will be envious for quite some time.”
Ya Ji directly posted the shield to the core member’s channel; guess the tank in the core team will have green eyes once the message passes…
