“Chirp-?”
Surprise filled Duo Lai’s big eyes, but they quickly narrowed into crescents. It hopped forward, its wide-open mouth seeming like a black hole, slurping all the surrounding flames that were still burning fiercely to prevent the fire from spreading further.
Next time I must learn some water spraying ability.
In this trial secret realm, the wild monsters were very strong and high level, but the number of them was relatively small and they were scattered throughout the realm.
Duo Lai just now fought without ‘concealing its movements’ or ‘probing the surroundings in advance’ and these other mistakes, but in the end it didn’t make any major blunders. It didn’t trigger attacks from the other monsters and even… skipped the steps of hiding and probing. Considering the results, its way seemed more efficient.
The clear and simple-minded Duo Lai certainly couldn’t come up with such sophisticated tactics. It only buzzed like a little bee, flying over the forest.
Suddenly, Duo Lai, serving as the ‘bait’, was attached by a wild monster.
A burly and fierce gargoyle with scarlet light gleaming from its eyes, it flew up from a hill not far away. It spat out numerous energy bullets and flapped its wings to stir up a violent wind, turning into a gray shadow and charging toward Duo Lai.
Bang,bang, bang—!
Silver wings spread out in mid-air, blocking the speeding energy bullets.
Duo Lai was indignant. “Damn monster, you’re not following the art of war!”
But clearly, you’re the one exposing yourself without probing. In this case, wouldn’t you be wiped out if you ran into a powerful wild monster?
Lord Shepherd was too tired to say anything and eventually didn’t send any prompts.
After dozens of rounds, the ‘breakthrough’ General Duo Lai cut down the elite gargoyle in mid-air.
The energy obtained from it allowed it to rise by half a level.
Then, Duo Lai started to feast, devouring the burnt and unpalatable ‘Leihuo Roasted ■ Gargoyle’, reluctantly nibbling a few dozen gold coins as well.
After a moment,
Duo Lai’s energy began to surge again, and this time, it rose three levels. The upgrade seemed to have replenished most of the energy it had expended in this battle.
“Hooray-1”
“Keep chirping!”
Without any strategy or plan, not cautious at all, Duo Lai continued to zoom over the forest.
F Duo Lai vanquished the wild monster ‘Hurricane War Falcon’. J
FDuo Lai vanquished the wild monsters ‘Shadow Wolves x3’.J
FDuo Lai vanquished the wild monster ‘War Golem’. J
The wild monsters Duo Lai encountered on its way were getting stronger and stronger, from ordinary giant wolves to war golems whose levels were not inferior and whose combat power was even a few times stronger than that of the Earth Rock Dragon.
Some powerful monsters could utterly blow the initial version of Duo Lai to pieces with just one punch.
However, Duo Lai now, having killed twenty or thirty such monsters, was high leveled, emitting a dreadful energy pressure that even it itself could not entirely suppress.
It marched foolishly, scattering chaotically, feasting, and crushing all on its way.
The whole forest was in uproar, and Duo Lai gradually approached the canyon where the Magma Dragon was located.
At this moment,
A slightly glowing place in the forest caught Duo Lai’s attention.
In the face of Mu Yuan’s helpless and resigned gaze, it flew down and approached this unusual area.
There was no ambush from monsters nor any trap. All it found was an ordinary little wooden house and an elf standing in front of it, dressed like a ranger, with a quiver on his back and a bow in his hand.
“Chirp-?”
“Brave one, are you here to slay the evil dragon? I am willing to give you a helping hand, but…”
FPrompt:You have found a hero projection. Are you willing to hire the hero ‘Wood Elf – Phantom Ranger – Rigor’ for 1000 gold coins?]
FPrompt: This projection has 30% of the combat power of the hero Rigor’s final battle in the trial and will be balanced according to the initial level of the trialists.J
FPrompt: You can only hire one hero projection to assist in battle.]
It seemed to be the projection of a previous trialist.
Indeed, Duo Lai found three other ‘assisting heroes’ that it could hire nearby.
Human Race Holy Light Master Sacrifice ■ Julia;
Death Knight ■ Black Iron;
Split Punch Grand Martial Artist – Surprised Thunder;
“This makes sense.” Mu Yuan nodded slightly, indicating that he had expected this.
He had been wondering how a regular trialist, even with extra strength gained from killing wild monsters and recruiting hundreds of elites, could defeat the final BOSS.
The combat power that the Magma Dragon displayed was too powerful.
Hence the ‘assisting heroes’ appeared.
However, if a trialist did not probe in advance and only discovered these potential recruiting locations right before the final battle, but had no gold left in his pocket… he would be put in an awkward situation.
Duo Lai only had a few dozen gold coins left, not nearly enough to hire the expensive assisting heroes.
Furthermore,
“They even want gold coins, this is outrageous!”
Duo Lai was infuriated. Were they asking for gold coins? No, they were asking for his life!
It snorted and left the assisting heroes behind, flying away with a swoosh!
What comforted Mu Yuan a bit was that Duo Lai didn’t rush to challenge the final BOSS.
There was still time. Dusk had not yet arrived.
Duo Lai weaved around the canyon, propelling quickly through the hills and woods on the wind. Wherever it went, thunderbolts and flames burst forth, filling the air with deafening booms.
After more than a dozen battles, it had finally eaten and drunk its fill… and gathered enough strength.
Its hair fluttered wildly, its ends aflame as if burning, and arcs of electric energy danced along it.
A radiant energy that could not be restrained flowed around it, accompanied by red, blue, and green elemental particles, which whirled around it in a never-ending dance.
Its eyes too, changed color, rings of irises radiated outward, intertwining red, blue, green and grey, creating an image that was both holy and indifferent to the world.
However,
The next moment, it wiped the corner of its mouth, instantly erasing its previous divine posture.
“I wonder what a Magma Dragon tastes like.”
“In any case, it’s time for the final battle.”
Duo Lai shot up into sky and landing before the canyon. It seemed to ascend invisible steps, one by one, to the highest point.
Standing at the top of the sky dome, overlooking the vast expanse of land.
Then,
It lifted its hand, and fiery elemental particles from all around rushed toward it. From the palm of its hand emerged an endless light and heat. Its radiant orange hue dispersed the clouds in the sky, and it looked as if it were holding a sun in the palm of its hand!
Duly weighing the sun in its hands, it hurled it down fiercely.
The increasingly dazzling endless light burst forth, leaving the entire landscape bathed in a blinding white. Amidst a roaring thunder, the shock waves spread out like a tsunami, tearing apart the surrounding rocks of the canyon like paper.
With just one hit,
Duo Lai had altered the terrain, the canyon now formed a sinkhole, filled with flowing lava.
A few seconds later, a large Magma Dragon with a vicious face and charred, partially damaged body, emerged from the lava lake, roaring up at the sky.
“Right, Magma Dragons have high resistance to fire.”
Duo Lai knew this. It wasn’t dumb.
It had just let its guard down and forgotten about it.
From high above, Duo Lai watched the scene, its eyes turning a pure blue, like a lake filled with the water of thunderbolts, reflective of destruction and indifference.
“In my name, invoke thunder.”
The voice echoed and resounded.
Despite Duo Lai’s voice being on the childlike side, it was filled with authority at that moment.
Boom-
Thunder echoed in the clear sky!
The clear sky that was just evaporated by endless heat and devoid of any clouds, suddenly saw a rush of rising vapor. Gathering rapidly around Duo Lai, the vapor was quickly spreading in all directions.
The dark clouds covered the sky!
The shadows engulfed the land!
Dazzling blue-purple thunderbolts surged among the dark clouds like dancing thunder snakes, casting a blue and purple glow on the Magma Dragon standing in the lava lake.
Its face turned color.
Is this even possible?
If the Magma Dragon possesses sufficient intelligence, it would surely call out this absurdity.
This, it can’t handle!
At Duo Lai’s command, endless thunderbolts transformed into hundreds of roaring Thunder Dragons, crashing from the sky and colliding with the lava lake, creating an even more violent wave of destruction.
Aurora streaked across the sky.
BOOM !
FDing!]
FReminder: Your troop ‘Duo Lai’ has passed the Hero’s Trial…]
Mu Yuan stared at the quickly disappearing Magma Dragon and observed a moment of silence for it – exactly 0.3 seconds.
“Magma Dragon’s Combat Power is beyond normal, unless the Trialist has exceptional talent. Otherwise, they can only gather hundreds of Elites, invite heroes to help fight before they could even have a chance defeating the Boss. But…”
Compared to the Magma Dragon, the Duo Lai in this trial was a real superpowered creature.
It was a result of the collision between its inherent Devouring Talent and special laws of nature, creating an invincible existence.
In the face of this invincible power, no strategy was needed. General Duo Lai alone could flatten everything.
FTrial summary: ® During this trial, the quasi-hero ‘Duo Lai’ has killed 66 wild monsters, and the map exploration rate exceeded 66°/o; @ Quasi-hero ‘Duo Lai’ did not lose any troops during the trial; ® Quasi-hero ‘Duo Lai’ has increased its strength by #@ ¥%a in the trial process…. ® In the final battle, quasi-hero ‘Duo Lai’ took 16.3 seconds to kill the BOSS Magma Dragon; ® No Lord’s hints were used during this trial; ® Quasi-hero ‘Duo Lai’ did not hire any assisting heroes; ®…j
FComprehensive calculation in progress…]
FReminder: The Hero Trial assessment for this round is perfect.]
FReminder: Because quasi-hero ‘Duo Lai’ achieved a perfect evaluation during the trial, it can leave a hero’s projection in the ‘Dragon Slaying Battle’ trial. The projection will appear randomly in the future trials, and if it helps the Trialist to defeat the BOSS and receives an invitation, the assisting hero can receive a certain reward.]
FReminder: Do you want to keep the hero’s projection?]
FReminder: You can make minor adjustments to the projection’s appearance.]
Mu Yuan:
Duo Lai’s trial process was far from perfect, but Duo Lai’s trial result…
It killed the BOSS in a blink of an eye. If this wasn’t perfection, what else could be called perfect?
“If the superpowered Duo Lai appears as a helpful hero, wildly slaughtering the BOSS, that scene…wow!”
It’s a pity, however, that such a scene is unlikely to be seen in the short term.
The trial space shattered like a mirage, and the initiation of the rule’s blessing began to descend.
In the final moment, all Mu Yuan heard was Duo Lai’s anxious outcry.
“Wait, I haven’t eaten my Magma Dragon yet !”
And then it was kicked out of the space..
