MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter

Chapter 823: 823

In the ancient times, the Temple of a Thousand Gods had not yet fully transformed the old gods, and the elements and the old gods were sealed as well. A mighty race known as the elemental dragons lived in the vast world.

These creatures were powerful but essentially lacked intelligence, acting only on the instincts of wild beasts.

They were the predators of the heavens and the earth, and their king was called Galakrond.

This enormous elemental dragon was incomprehensibly huge, with a body spanning tens of thousands of miles, making any other elemental dragon seem utterly insignificant in comparison.

And as he preyed, he grew even more enormous, such that the other creatures of the world were too small to satisfy his appetite.

He even began to prey upon his fellow elemental dragons, and due to the corruption of the old gods, he had lost his sanity.

At that time, the five great Dragon Kings joined forces to wage a cataclysmic battle against Galakrond, the Father of All Dragons.

The duration of the battle is unknown, and although the five great Dragon Kings were intelligent and mighty, they were only stronger than the other elemental dragons by so much, and their power paled in comparison to that of Galakrond.

Because of this conflict, the entire race of elemental dragons suffered greatly, and the five Dragon Kings were left with numerous scars.

It was then that the Titans from the Temple of a Thousand Gods descended a second time, witnessing the great battle. They each bestowed a fraction of their power upon several of the Dragon Kings.

Only then, in combination with the Dragon Kings, were they able to slay the Father of All Dragons, who was many times larger and stronger than the Titans themselves.

In the Dragon Bone Wilderness, the spine of Galakrond stretched across the entire map, and even the Dragon Sleep Temple was constructed with dragon bones to suppress the unyielding spirit of Galakrond.

Today, Galakrond’s dragon bones still stand in the Dragon Bone Wilderness, enduring without faltering even after a hundred thousand years have passed.

It wasn’t that no mighty beings had ever coveted the dragon bones, but their sheer size and durability exceeded that of any metal or alloy in this world. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have remained unaltered despite centuries of weathering.

That the Queen’s bow was crafted from Galakrond’s bones is utterly incomprehensible.

Following the name, detailed information about this bow then appeared on the screen.

In the past, the Queen, who was once the Ranger General, was killed by a Demon Artifact while defending the high elves’ capital city, eventually transforming into the most powerful banshee.

At that time, she had lost her senses and was controlled by the Demon Artifact and the Lich King, becoming the Banshee Queen, commanding all slain banshees.

Latterly, the Banshee Queen’s sanity was restored after the Demon Artifact inflicted heavy damage, and the Death Knight wielding Frostmourne was recalled by the Lich King. The Death Knight merged with the Lich King but was utterly immobile, forced to hide and recover from his injuries.

But the Undead Legion could not be without a strong leader, and as one of the mightiest at the time, the Banshee Queen caught the Lich King’s eye.

The Lich King strengthened and refined the Banshee Queen’s corpse before returning it to her, allowing the Queen’s soul transformed into a banshee to regain control of her body.

As a result, the Banshee Queen not only possessed the invincible magic abilities of the Banshee Queen but also her unmatched archery skills from her past.

To match her abilities and make her one of the strongest leaders of the Undead, the Lich King mobilized all resources of the Undead Legion, spending a year to split a small fragment of Galakrond’s bone, then expending countless materials alongside sinews from the progeny of the Blue Dragon King to forge the incredibly powerful Bow of Galakrond.

It was with this bow that the Banshee Queen solidified her position in the Undead Legion, which is why she could summon countless undead to follow her in rebellion against the Legion.

It wasn’t just that the Lich King was injured; more importantly, it was the Queen’s might that mattered.

But part of the Queen’s soul was completely severed and sealed within the Demon Artifact, and she was not in her complete state. Otherwise, the Queen would have been even more formidable.

Li Yao took a deep breath. As someone reborn, from these simple pieces of information, Li Yao understood much more.

Firstly, the Queen’s strength was not as it seemed on the surface, as part of her spirit was sealed. It was for this reason that the Queen couldn’t achieve demigod status, unless the Demon Artifact was destroyed.

Secondly, even in this state of crisis, the Queen had not shown her full strength. Everyone had been deceived by the Queen, assuming that once she reclaimed her body, the banshee’s magical abilities had vanished. However, the introduction to the bow made it clear to him that it certainly wasn’t the case. The Queen was clearly hiding her true capabilities.

The Queen herself was skilled in both magic and combat, and with this incredibly powerful Artifact Bow, even the Chieftain would not be a match for her—far from it—even though he wielded the Hammer of Destruction.

Even more crucially, Li Yao knew that he had finally gained the Queen’s full recognition and become her successor.

Li Yao believed that there probably weren’t more than three people who knew this secret, and it was possible that aside from the Queen, he was the only one aware of it.

Li Yao didn’t look at the attributes of the bow, but instead turned to the Queen, whose eyes flashed with an unexplainable glow.

Clearly, the Queen had understood everything, and Li Yao nodded slightly, turning his attention to the bow’s attributes.

Although he could see only part of the attributes, Li Yao still took a deep breath of cool air. To be honest, Li Yao had seen divine artifacts in his previous life; he had even seen Artifact Bows. After his failure to achieve Divine Enthronement in his last life, he had obtained an Artifact Bow as well, but truth be told, its attributes were definitely far inferior to this one.

At the same time, through the bow’s attributes Li Yao also confirmed his speculation that the Queen indeed practiced both magic and martial arts.

Intelligence and Spirit are characteristics only found on magic instruments or equipment meant for magic classes. It could be said that the Queen was only displaying half, or perhaps even less than half of her strength; after all, this wasn’t as simple as numeric addition.

Li Yao had an even greater speculation: Could it be that his future self as a Dark Ranger would also pursue dual cultivation of magic and martial arts? Thinking of this, his heart was ablaze with excitement.

He couldn’t help but think of the drawing of the Thousand Mechanisms Bow. He had to find superior materials to craft a supreme bow.

Speaking of time, all these thoughts had passed through Li Yao’s mind in just a few breaths since he had received the bow.

Finally, the guilds had organized their formations. They did not want Li Yao to gain too much limelight, so they brazenly launched an attack when the Queen gave Li Yao the bow and arrows.

Players who had formed up were already surrounding the newly reconstituted Blood Shadow.

And many players had already surrounded Li Yao, claiming to protect him, but in reality, they were preventing him from having a chance to attack…

ps: The storyline in this chapter is an important turning point…
