Chapter 2103: Chapter 1176: The Old King’s Gift (Part 2)
The two Demon Beasts, the former nearly destroyed the entire Blue Cold Fortress, while the latter caused us significant trouble during the Battle of Galaxy City. No one knows what terrifying things the opponent might have researched.
But no matter what we have to face, we have no retreat.
“In Your Excellency’s eyes, I see the steadfastness akin to Divine Falling Steel. It seems you truly have made up your mind, which is the indispensable first step towards victory.”
The old king’s eyes showed a trace of appreciation, but then he shook his head helplessly and said, “Unfortunately, I cannot leave this Underground City, and both the castle’s Treasure Vault and the storage areas have become ’Dislocated Objects’, making it impossible to assist you further.”
“Your Majesty is too kind; this has already been a tremendous help to us.”
Leo Ray smiled faintly, gesturing for everyone to approach the Transfer Array, and said, “From here on out, leave it to us.”
After that, Leo Ray gave a few instructions to White, asking him to coordinate with the old king for the next transfer, while ensuring the Lords’ safety.
Upon receiving Leo Ray’s orders, the old General Grim did not dare show any negligence and immediately set about organizing.
When Leo Ray and others were ready for the transfer, the old king seemed to remember something, a spark in his aged eyes as he said, “Ah yes, I still have one last item with me, let me present it to you.”
With that, the old king turned his wrinkled hand over, revealing an ancient silver shield emblem that hovered before Leo Ray’s eyes.
The emblem was engraved with dense ancient runes, exuding a mysterious aura, and Leo Ray felt as if he had seen these special runes before.
At the moment the shield emblem manifested, Leo Ray was surprised to discover something.
The Rolanddel in his hand began to tremble slightly, as if resonating with something.
Looking at the longsword in his hand, then at the shield emblem, Leo Ray further realized.
It turned out that a row of similar runes was engraved on Rolanddel’s blade, no wonder it felt familiar all along.
“This is Aurendil’s Protection.”
The old king handed over the emblem with a smile and said, “Imagine you’ve sensed it as well; it’s one of the Holy Artifacts that complements Rolanddel. Only together can they unleash greater power.”
“I see, thank you very much for Your Majesty’s gift.”
Taking the emblem handed over by the aged king, Leo Ray casually opened the emblem’s Attribute Column.
[Name: Mottled Aurendil’s Protection]
[Grade: Tier 5 – Extraordinary (Silver)]
[Defense Strength: None]
[Additional Effect One: Aurendil’s Protection ’Resists one Tier 5 or lower fatal damage (Charging Time: 24 hours)’]
[Additional Effect Two: Holy Knight Synchronization ’Within a certain distance, elevates the grade of the other two Holy Artifacts “Rolanddel” and “Audos Matt” to match this emblem’]
[Note: From the Sun Era, one of the Three Sacred Artifacts of a lost empire, also known as the Holy Knight’s Emblem. After its original owner fell, the emblem’s whereabouts became unknown.
During the Silver Moon Era, the founding king of the Silver Fire Kingdom, the first Silver Fire King, rediscovered it and eventually gathered all Three Sacred Artifacts, becoming the symbol of the Royal Family of the Silver Fire Kingdom.
Until the Silver Fire Kingdom’s destruction, the last Silver Fire King Oliver carried this emblem personally.]
“The first additional effect is the same as the Star Protection, while the second enhances Rolanddel and another Holy Artifact to the same grade, but Rolanddel is already Tier 5.”
Considering this, Leo Ray quickly came to a realization.
There’s only one possibility that can explain the current situation, which is that the emblem, after enduring the ages, is no longer in its Peak State.
With a light touch of a finger, Leo Ray began the upgrade directly.
As expected, the prompting voice soon resonated in Leo Ray’s ears.
[Congratulations, your “Tier 5 Ornament: Mottled Aurendil’s Protection” has been upgraded to “Tier 6 Ornament: Aurendil’s Protection”!]
Listening to the familiar prompting voice, Leo Ray raised an eyebrow slightly and reopened the emblem’s Attribute Column.
[Name: Aurendil’s Protection]
[Grade: Tier 6 – Legend (Gold)]
[Defense Strength: None]
[Additional Effect One: Aurendil’s Protection ’Resists one Tier 6 or lower fatal damage (Charging Time: 12 hours)’]
[Additional Effect Two: Holy Knight Synchronization ’Within a certain distance, elevates the grade of the other two Holy Artifacts “Rolanddel” (activated) and “Audos Matt” to match this emblem’]
[Note: Same as above, abbreviated]
“The first additional effect can actually resist a Tier 6 damage? And the charging time is halved.”
A hint of delight flashed in Leo Ray’s eyes, nodding in satisfaction.
As for the second additional effect, the word activated was added after Rolanddel.
It undoubtedly means Rolanddel has reached Tier 6 level as well!
With joy, Leo Ray opened the longsword’s Attribute Column again.
[Name: Rolanddel]
[Grade: Tier 6 – Legend (Gold)]
[Attack Strength: Six Stars]
[Additional Effect One: Indestructible Blade ’Never wears out, this sword cannot be damaged under any conditions’]
[Additional Effect Two: Divine Blade ’Increases damage to dark attribute enemies by 200%’]
[Additional Effect Three: Elemental Blade ’Increases all attribute attack damage by 50%’]
[Note: Under the synchronization of “Aurendil’s Protection”, this sword has reached Tier 6 level and is truly in Peak State.]
“My goodness, not only has the Attack Strength increased, but it also gained an all-attribute damage boost? It seems in critical times, I can wield the sword in one hand and cast spells with the Magic Wand in the other.”
Leo Ray closed the Attribute Column, looking at the noticeably brighter sword blade, with joy written all over his face.
The old king opposite was full of surprise.
He had intended to explain the emblem’s weathered state, but a dazzling light flashed, and the emblem had restored to Peak State!
As for White and the other generals, they were left dumbfounded, looking bewitched.
After being momentarily blinded by the sudden brilliance, they only sensed two powerful energy waves emanating from the emblem and longsword in Leo Ray’s hands.
Subsequently, the two items, which were already invaluable, reached a height they’d never witnessed before!
“Your Excellency is truly extraordinary.”
After a brief stupor, the old king regained his composure, nodding to Leo Ray and saying, “With this, I’m much more at ease.”
“Your Majesty flatters me; it’s just a minor skill.”
Leo Ray smiled faintly in response, “Then I trouble Your Majesty to transfer us to the surface.”
“Understood, as long as you display Aurendil’s Protection in that city on the surface, I will transfer you to my presence, and as for the last Holy Artifact, Audos Matt, it is with my daughter Pelican Princess Faye. If you have the chance to find her, you may be able to gather them all.”
The old king’s eyes were filled with satisfaction as he nodded heavily to Leo Ray, “Although the adversaries you face are undoubtedly formidable, I still look forward to your triumphant return and hope to meet you again!”
With that, the old king waved his red cloak, and the group instantly vanished from the antique castle shrouded in darkness.
With a flash of weightlessness, when Leo Ray’s vision cleared again, he had returned to the gate of Brilliant City.
By then, the black night had arrived, stars blanketed the sky, and the night was completely dark.
Yet Leo Ray and his party were unsure if dawn would come the next day.
Seeing Leo Ray’s figure, the generals who had been eagerly waiting sprang up with excitement and rushed forward.
Leo Ray then succinctly described the series of events they encountered in the ancient Underground City.
“Lord, what should we do next?”
After listening to Leo Ray’s account, Giant Axe General Burt, besides being amazed, couldn’t help but immediately ask.
