Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game
Chapter 589 - 301: Slaughter Feast, Absolute Luck_2
In combination with his innate gift, he could even conceal his flashing red aura, the ’Intruder Shadow’, making it an invaluable PvP stealth skill.
[As ’Apostle No.23’s’ body is vanishing, the streets gradually return to calm.]
[Passersby hurry on their way, seemingly indifferent to the recent bloodshed.]
[Looking back, you see that the eruption at the city gate has ended, the bodies of several ’soldiers’ have disappeared as well.]
Lin Xun frowns in inward frustration.
The bonus of this Chapter is indeed stingy; there are no additional rewards. Even killing monsters can’t claim shells, aside from one given for free at the beginning.
[You remain hidden, attempting to locate the ’merchant’s’ whereabouts, but the ’merchant’ might have changed appearance, you can’t find the previous one despite your meticulous search.]
[Do you wish to delve deeper into the town, or stay where you are?]
Not lacking courage whatsoever, Lin Xun chooses not only to stay put, but also to reveal the shell of the ’Ninja Master’ in full view by dispelling the invisibility.
Keep in mind that unless the other Apostles have a skill to dispel invisibility, they wouldn’t be able to perceive the ’Ninja Master’ when hidden.
If they can’t even see the shell, they certainly can’t see the ’Intruder Shadow’.
"Fishing at the city gate, huh?"
"Let’s see if you can swallow... my bait!"
[You dissolve your invisibility, exposing your shell on the street. Your appearance, donning a straw hat and tight ninja suit, draws attention.]
[Suddenly, you sense an unfamiliar aura rushing towards you.]
[You swiftly draw the ’Dragon Sword Masamune’ from your waist and turn to block!]
[A clanging sound echoes, as the concealed cyan short sword clashes with the famous Sakura Fall’s sharp weapon...]
[In the astonished gaze of ’Apostle No.16’, the cyan dagger breaks with a snap!]
[The darkness of Inferno vanishes in an instant, and a stunningly beautiful sword light flashes by, resembling falling cherry blossom petals...]
[A head rockets into the sky, blood spurting like a fountain from the severed neck!]
[By the time the head lands, you land on your feet, exhale, slowly sheath one’s sword, the Apostle’s shell behind you dissipates into nothingness.]
[You defeated ’Apostle No.16’!]
[Due to your high invasion authority, you can plunder one piece of loot from this Apostle.]
[Please choose the item you wish to plunder...]
The special skill of the ’Dragon Sword Masamune’ activated during combat, achieving the blade-breaking effect, instantly damaging the opposing Apostle’s weapon.
Lin Xun chose to extract from the equipment category, not knowing whether it’s luck or misfortune, he actually drew the broken cyan dagger.
With an inherent toxic damage component, even though the Epic+ level dagger weapon is damaged, it can be repaired for free by the ’Weapon Master’ after purchasing necessary materials in the library, which can then be sold at a good price.
"The level five Apostles are too weak, it’s not even worth using the Destiny Altering Artifact to draw loot..."
This isn’t Lin Xun being pretentious, using the ’Sakura Fall Yaskawa Curved Jade’ consumes the Luck Value from the item.
With a slow rate of Luck Value recovery, if it is wasted on weaker Apostles, there will be insufficient Luck Value to draw equipment from stronger ones among the candidates, resulting in much regret.
[’Apostle No.16’ has been killed!]
[Since ’Apostle No.16’ possessed ’Slaughter Feast’, you have inherited this Apostle’s associated buff.]
[You gained the buff ’Slaughter Feast’!]
[’Slaughter Feast’: This buff will increase all of your attributes by 20%, the buff state will last till the end of the bonus Chapter!]
[This buff can be continuously stacked without any limit!]
"All attributes are increased by twenty percent, and it can be infinitely stacked!"
Lin Xun’s eyes widen in astonishment.
He finds this buff insanely overpowered. In contrast to the benefits from Sacred objects that may only fill half or none at all, the enhancement of ’Slaughter Feast’ is remarkably intense.
After stacking ’Slaughter Feast’ a few times, the overall strength of one’s shell can be multiplied by several times!
No wonder this buff only takes effect in this Chapter. If the ’Slaughter Feast’ could be brought out of the bonus Chapter, it could completely destroy the balance of the game.
The fishing behavior of ’Apostle No.16’ gave Lin Xun an idea.
Since the current bonus Chapter is in ’Slaughter Mode’ without much additional awards, might as well do some fishing to take advantage of the stackable ’Slaughter Feast’.
[A group of ’Guardian Knights’ rush from the far end of the street; amidst them, a black-robed priest stands out.]
[The priest’s black robe boasts a silver crescent emblem on the chest, the mark of the ’Bright New Moon’.]
[You floatingly turn around, and before the knights and priest notice you, you use your hiding technique and disappear from sight.]
[The Guardian Knights, headed by the black-robed priest, go straight to the city gate to stand guard, it seems that the previous disturbance attracted the attention of the ’White Moon Church’.]
Lin Xun still remembered when he first entered the world of the Blood Sun, the game gave him a shell that was either a ’Guardian Knight’ or a ’Priest’.
Both had pretty low battle prowess, only slightly better than the average ’Lost Blood Sun Cultist’.
[’Saint Lance’, also known as Moonlight Town, unlike the capital, is not under the control of the sun faction.]
[All churches in the kingdom are the ’Church of Divine Light’, only the capital and Saint Lance adopted the names of the sun and moon for their churches...]
