Global Lord: Start with Divine Favor-Chapter 632 - 47 Epic-level Troop: Heavy Armored Crimson Dragon Rider_2
The Altar of Faith of the Goddess was placed here, and Lin Rui took a deep breath, turning to everyone and said, "Then we should set out, march to battle, and prepare to face the threat of strong enemies!"
The soldiers were all rested, their momentum like a rainbow, they shouted in unison with raised arms, and neatly turned to march out.
Lin Rui was about to board the Dark Angel when suddenly a voice came from behind.
"Hey!"
Lin Rui turned his head to look, and saw Rose showing a hesitant expression.
"My name is Lin Rui, you can call me by my name."
"I know!" Rose glared at him angrily: "This, is for you!"
Seeing Rose extend her hand with an item, Lin Rui’s eyes instantly filled with surprise: "This is?"
"[Imperial Military Decree]!"
Indeed, the item in Rose’s hand was the [Legendary One-Time Artifact: Imperial Military Decree] that Lin Rui had studied before! With its shining golden appearance, Lin Rui could not mistake it.
After all, he had weighed his options for a long time before finally deciding to temporarily give up on the [Imperial Military Decree], choosing the [Frost Heart Phoenix] and [Legendary Artifact: Devouring Jaw] instead.
Lin Rui asked in surprise, "I remember I could only choose two items, right? How did you bring this out?"
"You worry too much. Do you want it or not?" Rose glared angrily.
Lin Rui said in astonishment, "Little girl, you didn’t go stealing treasures from your national treasury for me, did you? It’s not worth it!"
"You’re driving me mad!" Rose really wanted to punch Lin Rui, her face flushed, and said, "I used my authority to exchange for it! As the Guard Captain, I have the right to take one item from the treasury each year, but I don’t need it, so I haven’t taken anything for many years. Didn’t you say we’re friends? This is for you!"
Facing Yalanna’s teasing gaze, Rose angrily said, "Don’t...don’t overthink! I just don’t want you to die early before completing a mission for our Imperial Court. It doesn’t matter if you die, but our Empress’s great ambition must be achieved!"
Lin Rui tutted, "You elves and your aloof style are really not likable. Clearly good intentions, yet you say it so unpleasantly. But I appreciate your kindness."
Only when Lin Rui took the Imperial Military Decree from her hand did Rose let out a heavy snort: "Remember reciprocity, bring me a gift when you return."
She didn’t really want a gift; the key was for him to return safely.
She had been in the Imperial Court for so long, without many friends, everyone respected her as the Guard Captain, but to avoid suspicion, no one dared to get close to her, so she hardly had any romance or even friendship.
This annoying human, despite always mocking her intelligence, was indeed someone who treated her equally as a friend.
Longevity species and short-lived species can be friends even if they can’t love each other; meeting in the forest each time, bickering, and sparring are a form of joy.
"Alright, alright." Lin Rui waved his hand, women were always so concerned about gifts.
After bidding farewell to Rose, Lin Rui handed the [Legendary Artifact: Devouring Jaw] to Audrey and said, "Fuse the Blood Dragon Knight and Ghost Dragon together."
Audrey immediately took it happily; she’d long wanted to cultivate a batch of Dragon Knights.
To heal using the Devouring Jaw, costing 1 point of Soul Value, was entirely insignificant to Audrey. Her Skeleton Stripping had a low probability of harvesting 1 point of Soul Value, and though the chance was very low, backed by the high Luck Level of the Golden Pansy Domain, she only needed to fight a few more wars to quickly restore the lost points.
However, the cost of 100,000 Spiritual Energy Value was very troublesome; using it once consumed 100,000 spiritual energy. If it weren’t for her ability to increase spiritual energy by killing monsters of high talent, she really couldn’t supply such an amount.
After using it once, it would take a long time to recover the spiritual energy to full.
She could only use it once for now, pulling the souls of the Blood Dragon Knight and Ghost Dragon out and then blending them together.
With their souls merging, their bodies seemed as one, and their combat power fully integrated.
As she successfully completed an experiment, Lin Rui immediately received a system notification.
[Ding, territory soldier type fusion successful, gained Epic-level Soldier Type: Heavy Armored Crimson Dragon Rider]
After the crimson mist dissipated, Lin Rui and Audrey were both quite shocked by the drastically changed demeanor of the heavy-armored soldier.
The Heavy Armored Crimson Dragon Rider presented a scene of dark red, once frail Ghost Dragon transformed under the Vampire’s ability into a red giant dragon with imposing horns and scales, massive and majestic, filled with muscular strength, its wings stretching to cover the sky. The Vampire Knight, clad in thick scarlet battle armor, tall and slender, appeared as a heavily armored warrior, without a hint of vampire frailty or delicacy.
The knight gripped a four-meter long halberd in his right hand while clutching the dragon’s spine tightly with his left, seamlessly connected to the giant dragon. His eyes emanated an eerie blood-red light. His dark wings unfurled from behind, like the Descent of Death in the night.
Audrey lowered her head and whispered to Lin Rui, "Father, it’s not looking good. Not only did it elevate to Epic-level soldier type, but also increased by a tier, directly reaching Super-Tier."
"So?"
Audrey spoke hesitantly, "It means there might be a slight possibility of it going out of control."
Lin Rui calmly waved his hand, "If it dares lose control, I’ll show it why flowers are so red today!"
If I can’t deal with the Elf Imperial Court, can’t I deal with a little Dragon Rider?
Fortunately, having built up a lot of tension in the Elf Imperial Court, if it loses control, no need for anyone else to act, Lin Rui would personally step in and give it a lesson!
Perhaps sensing Lin Rui’s malicious intent, or maybe due to respect for Audrey as a hero, this Heavy Armored Crimson Dragon Rider quickly calmed down after its aura reached an extreme, with the giant dragon lowering its body in submission to Audrey.
Looking at its attributes, Audrey excitedly said, "My lord, with my infusion of 100,000 spiritual energy, this Ghost Dragon and Blood Dragon Knight have integrated into one body and also became my summoned creature."
That was indeed good news, meaning if the Crimson Dragon Rider died in battle, it could still be resurrected.
However, it was natural since the undead were maintained by souls, with their souls merged as one unit.
Lin Rui also checked the Crimson Dragon Rider’s panel.
This time it gained two traits, one from merging, a powerful trait, and the other from ascending to Super-Tier, a Super-Tier trait, both extremely powerful.
[Blood Frenzy: Legendary Trait]: The Crimson Dragon Rider’s blood energy is rampant; whenever its Life Value drops below 30%, it stimulates wildness within, entering a frenzy state. In frenzy state, attack speed increases by 30%, attack power by 20%, and all attacks cause an additional 5% life stealing effect.
[Azure Flame Calamity: Super-Tier Trait]: The Crimson Dragon Rider releases pallid red flames, enveloping enemies in a sea of fire. Upon using skills, a fire realm lasting 4 seconds is generated, dealing extra flame damage around (80% of Crimson Dragon Rider’s attack power per second), making it immune to spiritual damage and increasing physical defense by 100%.
Super-Tier Trait Azure Flame Calamity grants the Crimson Dragon Rider partial immunity to spiritual damage, though not permanently like the Holy Grail Knight, but with 4-second immunity traits upon skill release, already quite formidable, and crucially, its flame realm boosts physical defense and output.
Actually, if used properly, the effect could be even stronger than the Holy Grail Knight’s. In short engagement, the Crimson Knight is much stronger. Of course, dragging the timeline longer, with the Holy Grail Knight staying active indefinitely, the battle power never diminishes.
