The Death List Novel - Chapter 531
Chapter 531 Grouping
“Young Master, be careful!” Frank lifted the heavy Skull Shatterer and crashed into Kieran like a heavy tank.
At this moment, Frank was dressed in steel armor and wore a horned helmet that resembled that of a medieval heavily armored knight. A cold gaze flickered through the cracks of the helmet’s cross. The cold light on the axe blades of his hands swept towards Qin Lun like a waterfall.
Qin Lun’s eyes lit up. The hunchbacked servant who had experienced six mission worlds displayed a completely new temperament. Now, he no longer had the originally obedient and self-distrustful performance. He had completely become a qualified Apostle.
“Very good!” Qin Lun laughed loudly as he lightly tapped his feet and activated the Spirit Sparkling Skill of the Indian Feather Boots. He stood there dragging a series of afterimages away from Frank.
“Tiger Roar Attack!” Seeing this, Frank’s eyes lit up and his head sank. The speed of the collision accelerated, and the horn of the helmet flashed with a dazzling light.
“Charge combination skill?” Qin Lun was even more pleasantly surprised. Tiger Roar Attack was a skill that belonged to the [Xia Na Fish Scale Armor]. However, the floating light on the horned helmet was clearly another type of Dou Qi skill.
The quest world was indeed the most tempered adventure. After the hunchbacked servant, who was originally calm and composed, had washed away all the luxury, he finally revealed his own fighting ability.
Qin Lun smiled and stretched out his palm as he looked at Frank, who was charging towards him like a bull.
‘”Kakaka ~” Countless tiny thorns pierced through the cratered stone slab of the training ground, twisting into a wall of thorns to block Frank’s path. Looking closely, Qin Lun’s calf was filled with countless long and thin thorns that grew like blood vessels, plunging deep into the ground.
This was not Qin Lun’s wood magic skill, but a skill change that he had created using the Sacred Thorn Crown in his body.
“Bang!” As the shattered branches flew about, Frank’s massive body smashed into the Thorn Wall like a tank, reappearing in Kieran’s field of vision. However, after such a stop, his collision skill lost its momentum and had to pause.
Qin Lun shook his head. The defensive wall created by the Sacred Thorn Crown obviously couldn’t satisfy him. The thorns on his calves quickly decayed and fell off. His palm, which stretched out horizontally in front of him, twisted and deformed, rapidly expanding into a wave of thorn tentacles that waved across the sky and wrapped around Frank.
Frank was in trouble. Although these thorns could be cut off by the double-edged broadaxe, the number was too large and too dense. Soon, he was tied up.
Qin Lun glanced at the death list and frowned slightly. He seemed to have trapped Frank effortlessly, but he was still unsatisfied with the result. Catalyzing so many Saint Thorns consumed too much energy. One had to know that Frank hadn’t changed his profession yet, and he was already a Tier 2 Apostle. Compared to his energy consumption, this kind of combat efficiency was too low.
“Hu!” A giant eagle phantom appeared behind Qin Lun. The giant eagle raised its head high and flapped its wings. A loud bird cry sounded in the air. He jumped into the air like a rocket and dived towards Frank, who was trapped in thorns.
Frank’s pupils behind the horned helmet contracted. He shouted loudly, struggling to break free from the thorns on his upper body. He clumped his body together and blocked the broad axe like a shield in front of him.
‘”Ding ding ding ~” The evil dagger in Qin Lun’s right hand turned into an afterimage, and the crisp sound of stabbing resounded like a rain hitting a banana. In less than a few seconds, the collision between the dagger and the axe had reached dozens of times.
Among the numerous stabs, a few of them appeared to be completely different from other attacks. The Evil Dagger’s ability to ignore defense was activated. A few streaks of black light pierced through the surface of the axe and Frank’s Xana Fish Scale Armor, leaving a few shallow bloody holes in his chest.
“Alright, let’s stop here!” Qin Lun landed on the ground and the thorns that trapped Frank retracted back into his body. His expression was very happy.
His battle with Frank was only to test the newly acquired equipment. The Evil Dagger had been raised to the Ten Thousand Human Slash. The newly emerged ability to ignore defense had finally made this slaughter artifact truly valuable. Although wanting to trigger 100% Ignorance Defense would consume a lot of souls, compared to the heaven-defying Ignorance Defense, it was still worth it.
After coming out of the training ground, Qin Lun paid more than a hundred more points in fees. After Cyberlas and Thorns ravaged the training ground, the training ground was basically abandoned. However, the waiters who served Apostle at the training ground were no longer surprised. Compared to the cost of over a hundred broken crystals, using machines to level the training ground and supplement some stone slabs was simply a profitable business.
“You guys go home first. I’ll go take a look at the auction house!” Looking at the Devil’s horn Auction House not far from the training ground, Qin Lun suddenly wanted to take a look.
For Apostle, the Devil’s horn Auction House has been removed from its daily venues, which are mostly half-plane trading floors. The city’s official auction house actually serves most unemployed Apostle. After all, more than two-thirds of Devil’s horn’s 20,000 plus people are unemployed Apostle.
…
‘”Eh …” What Qin Lun didn’t expect was that he would actually see an unexpected piece of equipment when he wandered around the official auction house on a whim.
“Hexagonal Prism Shield!” Looking at the small shield on the projector that looked like a glass crystal mirror, Qin Lun was somewhat surprised.
However, he soon discovered that this shield should not be the Dark Gold equipment he had previously obtained. Although its equipment skills were identical, its appearance was different. It should be the Apostle equipment that the starry sky had reconstructed.
“I don’t need this anymore, but I can still give it to Frank!” Qin Lun rubbed his chin and quickly contacted the seller of the equipment.
The hexagonal prism shield possessed three self-contained skills: mirror reflection, illumination, and shield defense. It had certain defensive abilities against both physical and magical attacks. The illumination laser also had certain counter-attack abilities. It was a very good dark gold equipment.
“You want to buy a shield?” A mask Apostle quickly appeared on the other end of the projector.
“That’s right. How many broken crystals do you plan to sell?” Qin Lun was curious as to why the other party didn’t go to the half-plane trading floor. However, he wasn’t stupid enough to ask this question. He already had some guesses in his heart.
“100,000 broken crystals, or an attack-type dark gold equipment!” Apostle looked a little hesitant, but he quickly offered a price.
“Don’t you specify a type of offensive equipment?” Qin Lun couldn’t help but smile.
His speculation was absolutely correct. The Apostle in front of him was definitely a rookie, just like he was back then. He didn’t know if this hexagonal prism shield belonged to him or to his companion. Judging from the current situation in Devil’s horn, the latter is estimated to be the majority.
In fact, given the current chaotic situation in Devil’s horn, selling this equipment for 100,000 broken crystals was not very high.
However, there weren’t many broken crystals left in Qin Lun’s body. After repairing the Earth Dragon Lizard’s leather armor and sacrificial gloves, Kelly had to take 50,000 away. He had spent more than a hundred thousand to purchase the Soul Remnant Items, and now he still had around 170,000 broken crystals left. After buying this shield, he didn’t have much liquidity left.
Moreover, Kelly had reminded him to store as many broken crystals as possible in the near future. Devil’s horn has now lost a large number of Apostle. In another half month or so, there will be a lot of good quality and cheap Apostle equipment on the market. At that time, there were not enough broken crystals to buy. Now, of course, it can be saved a little bit.
“I don’t have that many broken crystals right now. However, I can trade them for items. Take a look at the items here. What kind of items do you need?” Qin Lun blinked his eyes and a mysterious smile appeared on his face. He remembered the scene when he sold the hexagonal prism shield.
When he walked out of the auction house, Qin Lun had already completed the transaction. He used the two Intermediate Training Scrolls and the Sabak Ring on his body, plus 20,000 broken crystals, to buy this hexagonal prism shield.
On the surface, it seemed to be a deal of similar value, but Sabak’s ring … Qin Lun couldn’t help but shake his head and burst into laughter. He didn’t feel any guilt about deceiving the rookies. This was the path of maturity that every preparatory Apostle would experience.
Back then, he had suffered many losses before he slowly grasped the true value of Apostle’s items. This deal not only allowed him to obtain a new hexagonal prism shield, but also stirred up some emotions.
After returning to the villa, Qin Lun handed the hexagonal prism shield to Frank along with the Pim particles that Hawkeye Clint had obtained.
“Frank, how long before you’re rejected by the starry sky!”
“Young Master, we still have about 10 days before we enter the mission world!” Frank replied without hesitation. He had now formed an interim team with Didi and Schiff, and their mission time had been adjusted together.
“Disband the temporary guild. Follow me in your next mission world!” Qin Lun nodded slightly and pondered for a while before speaking.
“Then Didi and Schiff” Frank suddenly raised his head, a trace of surprise appearing on his face, but soon he was filled with worry.
“They have also experienced two or three mission worlds. They must at least be independent. Their fate must be on their own.” Qin Lun said indifferently, “Besides, there will be other servants carrying out missions with them this time. Don’t worry too much!”
After meeting Kelly, Qin Lun had another discussion with the other murderers. According to the requirements of the Lost Team, the five of them would once again be divided into three groups and enter three elite teams at the middle and lower levels.
Firework Rand and his disciple Hansen were in the same group, Shepherd Hill and Clown Grant were in the same group, and Qin Lun, who was the strongest, was in the same group alone. Among their servants, Apostle, Frank was with Qin Lun. Lily, Silva, Intergula, Didi and Schiff will form an independent team, led by Intergula.
Although Frank had only experienced six mission worlds, his body was originally Apostle who had inherited the bloodline of an undead. His foundation was very good, and he could now change professions. Qin Lun specially brought him along because he hoped that he could meet the requirements for a new profession in the next mission world.
It had to be said that Intergula’s queen stats were incredibly powerful, In the short span of ten days, not to mention Didi and Schiff, even Lily and Silva had been subdued by the HELLSING family, who had just entered the fragmentary starry sky from the Divine Comedy World. They had willingly accepted the orders of Intergullah, causing the murderers to be amazed.
