Chapter 55 - The Legendary Strongest Race
In the game overview of 《Yalance》, it was stated that there were nine great races and nine lil’ shous that could be conquered. In the end, one could smoothly realise their 10P feast.
However, among these nine great races, there was a race whose fame could not be compared with the other races.
Although this race was the most powerful race in Yalance, it was only in the past.
They had a huge physique and all parts of their body were treasures. In regards to their abilities, they had fifty percent absolute defence against magical and physical attacks. Not only did they have a high affinity for magic, but they also had remarkably powerful physical attacks due to their enormous physique as well as their skins that were as hard as iron.
This race which had almost no weakness had been reduced to the point of near extinction.
When Suo Fei was playing the game, he only encountered one dragon. It was said that in the whole of Yalance, it was the only one that remained.
It was a jadeite green dragon with an enormous body that was more than seventy metres high. His figure was graceful and beautiful. Its pair of huge jadeite green eyes were as gentle and warm as water. However, he was seriously injured and was unable to fly. He spent hundreds of years alone several hundreds of metres underground. Until… Suo Fei found him.
His name was Hull, Suo Fei’s lil’ shou from the Dragon race.
Dragons had no human form. From ancient times until now, they had never transformed into their human form. Suo Fei could vaguely remember that it seemed that Dragons’ energy was so strong that the humans’ delicate physique was unable to bear the Dragons’ rampaging power.
Capturing the Dragon race’s lil’ shou seemed to be simple. One only needed to find something that could transform him, turn him into his human form, heal his injuries and rescue him out of the abyss.
However, the thing that could transform him was extremely precious. It was an artifact of the Trolls. The trolls were huge in size so they relied on this artifact to transform their bodies according to their wishes. It wasn’t easy to obtain this artifact. Suo Fei had almost wiped out the whole Troll race for it to land in his hands.
Therefore, although there was only one task issued to capture the Dragons’ lil’ shou, this task was extremely troublesome and time-consuming.
In fact, Suo Fei really wanted to rescue Hull, regardless whether he’s a shou or not. Suo Fei felt sad when he recalled Hull staying inside the abyss by himself, bruised and unable to see the light of day. It’s unbearable to be lonely.
However, Suo Fei didn’t have the capability of doing so at this point in time. Not to mention that he simply had no way of entering the abyss. Even if he received the help of Samael and the little cub, he still was unable to obtain the artifact from the Trolls. He was incapable of even rescuing Hull.
In fact, he only needed to borrow the Trolls’ artifact. The tragedy was that the King of Trolls, Balnor, abhorred him to death. When he was playing the game, Suo Fei felt that Balnor was making trouble without reason and that the game had made false charges against the players, causing them to gain a powerful enemy.
However, after the Aryan incident, Suo Fei became aware that Balnor hated him for seizing his lil’ shou. Now, Samael did not take Aryan away, but even more terribly, they directly took away his life.
The past cannot be changed. Suo Fei could only lament that he’s unable to load the game files.
Suo Fei shook his head and directed his line of sight towards the red dragon in front of him. He didn’t expect that he would come across a living dragon that was healthy and full of vitality in this place. It turned out that Hull still had a compatriot.
Due to the prior forceful opening of the doors, the scene inside the four doors had been revealed.
Suo Fei took a rough glance and felt that it was too disastrous
Apart from the heavily panting Abel who was propped up using his word, Lancelot, Harris and Manzy had been rendered unconscious. He was unsure if they’re dead or alive.
It seemed that they failed to pass the trial and underwent punishment.
Although Abel was standing, he was in an extremely miserable state. There was a huge wound from his shoulder to his hips. Blood was flowing out, his face was pallid. He had not lost consciousness but he was already struggling to keep himself awake.
Nevertheless, he still had the energy to be foul-mouthed, “F**k, that damn demon could actually use black magic!”
A thought struck Suo Fei after hearing his words. His head was up in the clouds as he earnestly pondered when something else caught his attention.
Abel had succeeded whereas the other three had failed. As a result, their enemies revealed themselves at this moment.
Suo Fei swept a glance and was surprised. There was a human, a celestial, and an elf. What surprised Suo Fei the most was that a human archmage actually left Lancelot in such a tragic state! It’s too inconceivable.
In addition, the elf was unusually strange. He didn’t hold a staff or a bow and arrow. Instead, he had a dagger. Looking at the magnificent dagger, it could be seen that its value was considerably high. Is this elf an S-tier assassin?
The celestial was even more outrageous. He was holding a shield on his left hand and a greatsword on his right. This posture, is it a Berserker? No, it’s a Paladin!
At this moment, the vague thought in his mind became clear.
In Yalance, the shortcomings of each race were obvious. The magic affinity of the Demons and Beastkins were practically nil. At the same time, the Celestials had exceedingly low physical strength. The elves had high agility but their explosive strength was low. The humans were good in building relationships but were extremely weak.
But now, they had encountered an S-tier wood-class mage beastkin, a primeval demon that could summon beasts, a paladin celestial, an S-tier assassin elf, and a human archmage who could defeat a celestial!
Moreover, according to what he had heard from Abel, he had come across a demon that used black magic!
Strengthening their weaknesses in such a manner, this was practically slapping the face of Yalance’s setting. If this was in the game, it would have brought about earth-shattering changes.
However, an even more shocking scene appeared. The elf and the celestials vanished out of thin air, disappearing in exactly the same way as the demon and beastkin they had previously gotten rid of.
What’s going on? Why did they vanish after seeing them?
The red dragon seemed very excited to see them. His big wings were fluttering and his enormous body was twisting and turning. Then, he chatted in dialect with Samael.
Why is it chatting in dialect? Because he started talking using the Dragons’ language. Suo Fei knew that the two were communicating. As for what they were talking about, he completely had no idea.
The red dragon seemed to be only interested in Samael. He talked a lot and Samael also responded a few times. Suo Fei could not guess what they were talking about judging by their expressions alone, but the red dragon definitely spoke a lot.
He couldn’t understand them but Suo Fei had no worries. Afterall, Samael would still share it to him afterwards,
What he needed to do was to see the conditions of those who had lost consciousness and one who was about to lose consciousness.
Suo Fei thought about it and went to Abel first. He wasn’t being biased or anything. It was because the other three were unconscious while Abel was still awake. Being awake meant that at least, he’s still alive. By increasing his energy, Suo Fei could increase his chances of survival.
Suo Fei approached him but Abel didn’t have any response. In fact, his consciousness had drifted away. He was merely straining himself to hold onto his remaining consciousness. If he hadn’t been in a perilous situation, he would have passed out long ago.
Suo Fei didn’t dare to delay any longer. He raised his hand and Healing Light descended onto Abel’s body. The blood flowing out from the huge wound on Abel’s back flowed at a much slower rate.
However, it didn’t stop. Suo Fei frowned. He dared not reveal his unusual ability, but the healing spell was truly insufficient.
Unfortunately, because of his ability, he never thought of preparing a bandage that could stop bleeding. With just the Healing Light alone to stop the bleeding, his MP would definitely be used up.
After thinking about it, he had no other choice but to ask Abel, “Do you have a bandage on you? I’ll help you treat your wound.”
Abel nodded, his voice weak, “Interspatial bag is at my waist. Have bandages inside.”
Suo Fei knew that Abel couldn’t move, so he took the interspatial bag from his waist. He didn’t open it without permission but gave it to Abel. The interspatial bag was something very private for the people in Yalance. Even in such special circumstances, it would still be disrespectful to open it without the owner’s permission.
Abel’s vigilance had abated due to Suo Fei’s actions. He tremblingly reached out his hand and took out all the bandages in his interspatial bag.
There were a lot of bandages and their quality was high since they were made by renowned masters. After all, Abel was the Demon Prince so his life-saving things certainly must be of the highest quality.
Suo Fei had a lot of potions in his interspatial bag. Previously, he had drunk some buff potions, but he still had a lot of potions that could disinfect, stop bleeding, and cure wounds.
Suo Fei first cleaned up the blood that had oozed out as well as the dirt that had entered through the tears of his clothes. Then, he took out three potions and was just about to apply it onto Abel when he paused. In front of Abel, he didn’t use his appraisal technique but instead used the material appraiser that he had bought from Benesse City on the potions. It identified them as a disinfectant, a hemostatic potion as well as a healing potion.
Abel didn’t look at the appraiser but instead profoundly stared at him. Then, he closed his eyes and softly said, “Elf, I believe you.”
Given the situation, you have no choice but to believe me even if you don’t. Suo Fei’s mouth inwardly twitched. He paid no heed to his words, applying the potions one after another. He reassessed his condition and found that although the results were not obvious, it was still better than nothing.
After applying the potions, Abel seemed unable to support himself any longer and fainted.
Suo Fei thought, Everyone has lost consciousness apart from the unfamiliar dragon. Perhaps he could stealthily use his ability?
The thought had just flashed in his mind when Samael, who had been talking with the red dragon, suddenly looked over and said, “Not allowed.”
Suo Fei paused and finally abandoned the thought. It’s true that he’s too selfish. It’s true that he thinks that people are too sinister. His ability was truly somewhat heaven-defying in Yalance. People could fight to the death just to obtain an artifact, let alone such an ability that could essentially grant someone eternal life.
Suo Fei also comforted himself that he had done everything he could. He applied the potions and wrapped the bandage. Abel’s wound had already stopped bleeding. Its recovery was slightly slow but it was no longer life-threatening.
With a sigh of relief, Suo Fei stopped thinking about it and went to check on Harris’ condition. Harris’ clothes had been torn to pieces, but there were no obvious wounds on his body. Suo Fei leaned in near his nose and found that he’s still breathing. Suo Fei was unsure if he had exhausted his powers or what, but at least, he was still alive. He let out another sigh of relief.
He was just about to walk towards Lancelot, but suddenly paused.
A figure appeared out of nowhere. He was garbed in a black robe with only a rim of black and shiny fur on its collar. Suo Fei gnashed his teeth in anger upon seeing his clothing.
The figure gradually became clearer, then there was another figure followed by another… Suo Fei’s eyes constricted. More than forty people appeared out of nowhere!
One of them had long silver hair and crimson red eyes. Who is this, if not Grantlyn Evans?
Suo Fei narrowed his eyes. Are they the oriole behind the mantis stalking the cicada?
The author has something to say: Cough cough, the people in black who only had had brief appearances until now are finally saying hello to everyone.
