Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 686 - 342 Shadowdancer, Test Subject_2
[Are you ready to travel to ’Zhongsi City’, currently experiencing ’White Fleece Snow Season’, with ’Nightmare Yuri’?]
Lin Xun narrowed his eyes and pressed ’Yes’.
[...]
During his journey on the carriage, he opened the item column to check the rewards Flandre had given him.
[’Shadowdancer’s Blending Liquid’ (Epic+ level item): The bottle contains a blending liquid used for the Feathering upgrade, inside of which float tiny ovule-like objects.]
[By using this item, you have a certain chance of entering the feathering process of the ’Shadowdancer’!]
[’Belatu Mansion’s Wax Seal’ (Special item): The shiny gold wax seal is a tool of signed documents and a symbol of the highest power of the manor.]
[By possessing this item, you will be able to command all guards and servants within the castle to serve you.]
[By using this item, you can harness the remnants of the demigod power left by ’Belatu’ within the manor’s region, temporarily granting yourself mythical-grade power!]
[This effect can only be used once, after which the remnants of the demigod power will be depleted!]
The first reward ’Shadowdancer’s Blending Liquid’ was undoubtedly given by Flandre for him to inherit Nightmare Yuri’s power and appearance.
The second reward, ’Belatu Mansion’s Wax Seal’, was for him to inherit Nightmare Yuri’s rights and status.
The wax seal used to be in Nightmare Yuri’s possession. Even if it had the power to control demigod power, it wouldn’t dare to defy Flandre.
This showed that Flandre’s power was indeed boundless.
Lin Xun got two items in exchange for a single Legend+ level equipment, and he wasn’t sure if it was a loss or gain.
[...]
[The vibrations have subsided, the abdominal flaps on both sides open...]
[A blizzard instantly penetrates inwards, bringing with it a bone-chilling coldness.]
[The ’Nightmare Yuri’ beside you slumps onto the seat, his eyes filled with despair.]
[You pick up ’Nightmare Yuri’ and throw him into the snowstorm.]
[You possess the shell of ’Star Lord Canis of Desire’!]
[You form a sword art, the ’Rotating Stars Immortal Sword’ morphs into a piercing rays of sword-light, penetrating through ’Nightmare Yuri’, who hasn’t yet hit the ground.]
[You have defeated ’Nightmare Yuri, the Feathered Shadowdancer’, your experience points have greatly increased!]
[You have obtained ’Unfathomable Faint Spirituality’*1]
[You look at the twisted body lying in the snow...]
[’Nightmare Yuri’s Shell’: A loyal servant appointed by Flandre to manage and rebuild Zhongsi City. Because of momentary greed, he tried to secretly seek the grace of the Wet Nurse without telling his master. He was sold out by the steward and suffered a severe punishment. Compatibility: 78%(+55%)]
The compatibility with the Nightmare Yuri’s shell was insufficient. Lin Xun could only let the parasites go on stage.
First, he shed the ’Jailor’s’ shell, then he infected the Nightmare Yuri’s shell.
[...]
[The shell of ’Feathered Shadowdancer Nightmare Yuri’ is still active since it died not too long ago; do you want to parasitize?]
[The special skill ’Perfect Parasite’ is triggered!]
[You merge into this massive dead body, connecting to all the neural nodes within...]
[...]
[Parasitism successful; you now have perfect control of this vessel!]
[Your shell, ’The Feathered Fully Adaptive Parasite’, will temporarily switch to ’The Feathered Shadowdancer Nightmare Yuri’!]
Lin Xun opened his shell panel to check its attributes.
[Shell——’Feathered Shadowdancer Nightmare Yuri’]
[Real Name: Yuri Glenn]
[Compatibility: 137% (23%)]
[Shell quality: Legendary grade]
[Shell level: 70]
[Shell equipment: Nightfall Dagger (Epic+ level Weapon): .... The short dagger with sharp blade and hollow body. Each attack can draw some blood from the enemy, causing additional damage.]
[Shell equipment: Shadowdancer’s Exoskeleton Mask (Epic level equipment): ... Wearing this equipment will automatically generate a shell that wraps around the whole body when entering battle status. The streamlined shell can greatly enhance agility and mobility!]
[Shell skill: Bloodthirsty Stinging (Legend level skill): By using this skill, you will inflict enormous damage on the enemy. The damage value will be fully converted into your HP, and it may cause ’Weak’, ’Disease’, ’Bleed’ and other negative statuses on enemies.]
[Shell skill: Phantom Waltz (Epic+ level skill): By possessing this skill, you will leave a phantom clone to mislead the enemy during evasion. There’s a chance that enemy attacks will strike the phantom clone without causing damage to you.]
The panel attributes of Nightmare Yuri are extremely powerful.
If Lin Xun did not have a compatibility bonus to enhance the shell quality, using either the Ninja Master or Star Lord Canis to duel with this BOSS would undoubtedly end in death.
However, Nightmare Yuri only burst out with a thirty thousand spirituality and didn’t drop anything else, which didn’t quite match his strength as a BOSS.
After a short pause, he understood the reason.
It must have been because the main damage that led to Nightmare Yuri’s death was from Flandre, and he only made a small cut on the final blow. That’s why the quality of the reward dropped.
"If something like this happens in the future, could I try to heal the enemy’s HP to full before trying to kill them..."
"Would the dropped rewards be better in that case?"
"Tch, I’ve never tried to heal an enemy before, I wonder if it’s possible..."
Having obtained the shell of ’Nightmare Yuri’, the ’Shadowdancer’s Blending Liquid’ in his item column seemed to have no use anymore.
As Lin Xun stared at the item, something came to mind.
His parasitic ability was bestowed upon him by Flandre!
If the Flandres from the two places were the same person, then why did the Flandre in the castle give him the blending liquid when he knew he could parasitize Nightmare Yuri?/p>
