Chapter 93 - Sword of the King and Shadow Strike
Chapter 93: Sword of the King and Shadow Strike
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
[Sword of the King ]
[Quality: legendary]
[Attack: 700]
[Weight: 1.5 kg]
[Usage level: 25]
[Special effect: King’s Leader]
[King’s Leader (god-tier passive enhancement): increases all attributes of all members of the party by 100%.]
After seeing the attributes of this weapon, Mike felt lucky for not being the first to surrender.
He almost lost such a powerful weapon for a lousy skill book?
That was too stupid!
The quality of this weapon and the Sword of Meredith were both golden legendary quality weapons.
Although the Sword of Meredith looked more invincible, it was actually due to Mike’s SSS-grade talent.
If it was anyone else, it would have been the Sword of the King that was stronger.
The original effect of this weapon would have increased all attributes by 10%.
Regardless, just this skill alone was already very powerful.
After all, this was a skill that improved all attributes.
It was a powerful skill that would increase attack power, HP, mana, defense, movement speed, and all other attributes.
Without this skill, this weapon’s stats would at most reach purple excellent quality.
Mike had decided to equip this weapon in his right hand for future battles.
His left hand would be the main attacker, and he would equip the Sword of Meredith to deal damage.
His right hand would be the secondary attacker, and he would equip the Sword of the King as a buff.
After he made up his mind, Mike looked at the king.
Obviously, since the king had given him such a powerful weapon and the position as the Commander of the Adventurer Legion, the king must have something to tell him.
He took the initiative to whisper, “I’ll look for you in the palace later.”
Hearing this, the king nodded slightly.
After all, this was not a convenient place to talk.
He casually praised Mike and Sky Splitting Sword before returning to the VIP seats.
After all, there was still a battle between the third and fourth place.
He was responsible for giving out the rewards.
Meanwhile, Mike brought Sky Splitting Sword out of the arena.
Along the way, Sky Splitting Sword felt a little uneasy.
If God Slayer wanted him to hand over the 10,000 federation coins, he would not dare to refuse.
After all, if he did not hand over the money, the other party would make it impossible for him to survive in Second World.
However, if he handed over the money, his following days would be very difficult.
At the very least, his legs would be broken by his father.
Thinking of this, a hint of despair appeared on Sky Splitting Sword’s face.
It was only a two-minute journey, but he found it excruciatingly long.
Finally, the two of them came to a corner with no one around.
Sky Splitting Sword was thinking about ways to ask God Slayer to let him off.
However, what Mike said made him slightly stunned.
“What’s the effect in the skill book you just obtained?”
Sky Splitting Sword was stunned for a moment, then quickly took out the skill book from his backpack and checked it. Then, he sent the skill book’s attributes to Mike via private message.
[Shadow Strike]
[Quality: outstanding]
[Occupation: Unlimited]
[Active skill]
[Mana cost: 200]
[Cooldown: 60 seconds]
[After using the skill, the damage of the following attack will be increased by 50%. There will be no attack movements, and there will be no way to block it.]
Looking at the skill’s introduction, Mike’s eyes lit up.
As expected of an outstanding quality skill book. This skill was way too powerful!
He wondered what would happen if he used Law to change it into a passive skill.
This was a special skill that could only be learned through a skill book.
It was impossible to learn this skill from any class instructor.
In other words, if he missed this skill, he would practically never be able to encounter it again.
Mike thought for a moment and took the initiative to speak,
“You should still remember that you owe me 10,000 federation coins before, right?”
Hearing Mike’s question, Sky Splitting Sword trembled and finally nodded.
This kind of thing could not be avoided.
Admitting was the only option.
Seeing that Sky Splitting Sword did not run away, Mike nodded with satisfaction and said,
“I’ll give you two choices now.
“1. Pay the money immediately and we’ll forget about this matter.
“2. Give me this skill book and I won’t pursue the matter of the money.
“You choose.”
After saying that, Mike fell silent.
Meanwhile, Sky Splitting Sword revealed a pained expression.
He could also see that this skill book was very powerful.
He really could not bear to hand over this skill book.
However…
He was even more reluctant to hand over the money.
That was 10,000 federation coins!
In comparison, no matter how powerful this skill book was, it was definitely not worth 10,000 federation coins.
Even if it was sold to rich people, it could only be sold for 5,000 federation coins at most.
If Mike or Super Rich heard this, they would definitely laugh out loud.
He had overly underestimated rich people.
If Super Rich saw this skill book, he would not even bat an eye if he was asked to spend 20,000 federation coins.
Otherwise, why would he spend so much money on a bunch of green equipment?
Of course, green equipment itself was valuable.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that green equipment could not be bought even if one had the money.
After all, it was very difficult to produce good equipment in the early stages. Even if it was green equipment, everyone would only keep it for themselves.
Who would be willing to sell it?
Therefore, the price of Mike’s equipment was indeed high, but it was not a loss for Super Rich.
As for this skill book…
Currently, it was only worth about 5,000 federation coins on the market.
However, rich people would be willing to spend more money to get it.
If he used this book to pay off his debts…
Sky Splitting Sword could either view it as a profit or a loss.
In the end, Sky Splitting Sword finally made a decision.
“If I give this skill book to you, then everything that happened before will be written off, right?”
He hesitated for a moment and asked.
Mike smiled and nodded.
“In fact, I’m actually very rich. I still have more than a million federation coins in my account.”
The meaning behind his words was very simple.
‘If I didn’t meet you today, I wouldn’t have bothered to ask you for this money.’
‘As long as you’re willing to hand over the skill book, I’ll treat it as spending money to buy your skill. Anyway, I don’t care about this little bit of money.’
Sky Splitting Sword understood what Mike meant.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and sent a trade request to Mike.
Seeing the skill book on the trade panel, Mike smiled and agreed to trade.
He did not choose to learn the skill immediately. Instead, he directly left this place and headed to the palace.
With Mike’s status as the Commander of the Adventurer Legion among the humans and his Human Affinity skill, he naturally would not be stopped anywhere.
He arrived at the meeting room with ease.
The king had not returned yet, and there was no one in the meeting room.
Mike took out a strange black book, Law.
“Change Shadow Strike into a passive skill!”
