359 You’re There? Here’s An Uppercut! (I)
Now that he had figured out the advantages and disadvantages of the Divine Scepter, the few handsome Fallens in front of him were no longer of any value.
Lin Ye started to go all out.
They attacked crazily.
Not only did these pretty Fallen not have any shield-breaking skills, but they also didn’t know what a nullifying shield could do. They were still foolishly using dispel skills on Lin Ye.
Low-quality invincibility skills could be dispelled by high-quality dispel skills.
‘Well… Technically they’re not wrong.’
‘The problem is that their judgment had been wrong from the beginning.’
Invincibility skill and nullification shield were two completely different things. The higher the quality of the former, the harder it was to deal with. The latter, no matter what quality it was, as long as the details were unknown, would be more troublesome than the former.
[Prompt: You have killed Fallen??? Absorbed the opponent’s remnant soul, raising the quality of the Divine Scepter. The current quality is Silver…]
After getting rid of these vengeful creatures, the Divine Scepter was upgraded to Silver grade, but no new abilities appeared.
It was probably the same as his Hidden Moon, who needed to be upgraded to Gold to obtain the first additional ability and then upgraded to Platinum to obtain the second additional ability.
However, it could also be like Bright Mirror Water, which he had upgraded up to Platinum. But there was no second new ability yet…
“Do these new abilities appear without a pattern?”
“Forget it,” he said.
‘It’s a great deal to have a new ability, but it’s not a loss if I don’t get one. The increase in all attributes is quite good. It’s a waste not to have it.’
After thinking it through, Lin Ye summoned Stryde and rode on its back again. He flew to the nearby demon wave teleportation gates and prepared to upgrade the godly right scepter to gold.
But he didn’t know.
At this moment, there was a large group of black insects inside the bodies of the Fallen that had died a tragic death. They were madly gnawing on the organs and flesh from the inside out, from top to bottom. They had eaten the few people that had once been humans, turning them into empty shells. Then, they slowly crawled out of a few holes.
Immediately after, these densely packed black insects gathered together and turned into a Black Ant that was as tall as an adult man. It stood up strangely, stretched out a hand, and gently licked the blood stains on it.
It looked at where Lin Ye flew to and mumbled, “Beautiful… Taste…”
“Food… Item…”
After saying that, the giant Black Ant flapped its wings and dashed forward like an arrow, disappearing into the tall city buildings.
Geman in a black hunter’s uniform walked out from the shadows of the alley.
“Hm?”
“Was that a level 55 ancient gold Black Ant? ”
Where did those Abyssal Demons find the egg of that thing?”
“Interesting.”
“Can Lin Ye beat this thing?”
On the other side, a few witches sent by the mayfly witch Yggdrasil were hiding behind the windows of the surrounding buildings and looking at Geman nervously.
They wanted to help Lin Ye kill this dangerous Black Ant.
But Geman’s intention wasn’t clear.
If they rashly went to help Lin Ye and disturbed this “master’s” mood, then they, who weren’t even level 100 yet, would be instantly killed by this man.
“You don’t need to worry,”
The Ancient Golden Black Ant’s ability doesn’t include shield break. Lin Ye has nullified shield protection. Even if he can’t beat the Ancient Golden Black Ant, he can escape unscathed.
“Of course, it’s not a problem if you guys want to help.”
“I’ll hold back my anger.”
The man chuckled.
The witches were speechless.
‘Why don’t you just tell us not to interfere!’
Seeing how Geman acted on his own initiative, his original plan of protecting Lin Ye suddenly changed into the idea of watching Lin Ye fight the Ancient Golden Black Ant.
The few weak witch girls could only let him do as he pleased.
She couldn’t fight him, and Lady Yggdrasil’s order was to protect Lin Ye as much as possible without provoking the Church of Healing.
They had no choice.
On the other side, Lin Ye didn’t notice that a “creature from an advanced civilization” that had broken the 50-point limit was tracking him. He randomly choose a lucky dark wave teleportation gate and worked with the army Professionals stationed there to farm for remnant soul experience points.
After a few rounds, the Divine Scepter, which was still of low quality, had a breakthrough, but it had not yet reached the crucial gold grade, so it had not unlocked any new abilities.
‘It seems like… The number of remnant souls has nothing to do with the weapon’s level.’
‘It’s related to the grade of the creature you kill.’
‘Even if your level is very low, as long as your aptitude is high enough, you will be able to obtain a very high number of remnant souls. On the contrary, if your aptitude is low, even if you reach level 50, you will still be able to obtain a few remnant souls.’
‘Including when you feed equipment and skills, the level of those things doesn’t affect the amount of experience gained. Only their quality will affect it…’
‘It’s equivalent to saying…’
‘I’ve been killing a bunch of level 40 to 50 silver-tier mana tide creatures here for half a day.’
‘Isn’t it more efficient to summon the army of Knights of Loyes to climb the ladder?’
‘Absolutely! Does that make me a great aggrieved species?’
As he was thinking, the voice of the commander backstage suddenly came from the communicator held by the military Professionals who were fighting bravely.
“Attention, soldiers of the 3rd Legion. The evacuation of the citizens has been completed. Immediately use the wall barrier scroll to temporarily seal the teleportation gate of the dark wave. Then, retreat to the city walls of the central city or the nearby underground shelters. If you encounter any trapped people on the way, please do your best to rescue them!”
