Chapter 110: Chapter110-The Absurdly Overpowered Staff

Loki walked around the battlefield map and quickly approached them, his gaze sweeping back and forth over the two.

Only after confirming that both of them were still alive.

Did he immediately ask,

"How did the mission go?"

John casually pulled out a chair.

Then dropped straight into it.

"Completed."

Just one simple word.

Yet Loki visibly froze.

"All five?"

"Destroyed them all."

"..."

Loki stared at him.

Then asked again to make sure.

"All of them?"

John leaned back in the chair, too lazy to even lift his eyelids.

"Yeah."

Loki’s expression finally broke completely.

"Good!"

He slammed a fist against the edge of the battlefield map.

"Good!"

The fact that he said it twice.

Was enough to show how he felt.

When he had received intelligence earlier that the Dark Realm legions were retreating.

He hadn’t dared assume what had happened.

But now the answer was standing right in front of him.

All five large legion teleportation arrays had been destroyed.

If the Dark Realm wanted to organize another attack of the same scale anytime soon, simply rebuilding its cross-realm transportation network would take an enormous amount of time.

Dawnstar City had finally gained a genuine period of breathing room.

Loki couldn’t help pacing back and forth inside the tent.

"You two have made a tremendous contribution this time. With all five legion teleportation arrays destroyed, the Dark Realm’s next large-scale offensive will be significantly delayed."

"The rewards I promised you remain unchanged."

He looked at the two of them.

"The Dawnstar City Treasury will grant you early access. Each of you may enter and select one item. I’ll have someone deliver your access tokens later. You can head straight there when you’re ready."

Aya had still been debating whether she should copy John and find herself a chair to collapse into.

But the moment she heard that.

Her eyes lit up.

She got one too?

They had only just finished robbing the Night City Treasury.

And now they could come back and browse the Human Realm’s treasury too?

Was this mission’s treatment really that good?

System notifications appeared in front of both of them at the same time.

[Ding!]

[A-rank Hidden Quest "Behind Enemy Lines" completed!]

[Quest Objective: Destroy Large Legion Teleportation Arrays: 5/5!]

[Advance Team Members Surviving: 2!]

[You have obtained a large amount of EXP!]

[You have obtained a large amount of Military Merit!]

[You have obtained a Special Reward: Dawnstar City Treasury Selection Privilege ×1!]

A massive amount of EXP poured in.

John glanced at his EXP bar.

It had increased quite a bit.

But he was still some distance away from Lv46.

No level-up.

That was normal.

His level was getting higher and higher now.

The EXP from a single A-rank quest could no longer make him jump several levels at once like it had in the early game.

Besides, EXP had never been the most important reward here.

A free pick from the treasury.

That was far more practical.

And this time, he didn’t even have to steal anything.

He could take it openly.

"Alright."

John stood up.

"We’ll head out first."

Aya immediately followed.

The two had only just reached the entrance.

When Loki suddenly spoke.

"Endbringer."

John turned around.

Some of the excitement on Loki’s face had faded.

"There’s something else I’d like to discuss with you in private."

Aya immediately stopped.

Then instinctively looked at John.

Anything important enough for Dawnstar City’s Supreme Commander to ask for a private conversation.

Obviously wouldn’t be ordinary.

But John didn’t even think about it.

"I’m too tired today. We’ll talk another time."

With that.

He lifted the tent flap and walked straight out.

Aya: "..."

She looked at John, who had already left.

Then at Loki inside the tent.

For a moment, she had no idea whether she should leave or stay.

This was Loki.

Dawnstar City’s Supreme Commander.

A Lv60 Legionbreaker Tier BOSS.

Who knew how many people wanted to meet him but never even got the chance?

And Boss had just said he was tired.

Then left?

It was the first time Aya had ever seen someone reject Loki so naturally.

Their eyes met.

The atmosphere inside the tent became inexplicably awkward.

In the end, Loki waved a hand.

"Forget it."

"You should go rest too."

Aya immediately nodded.

"Got it!"

Then turned around and ran.

Loki remained alone beside the battlefield map.

Watching the tent flap sway.

He stood there in silence for a long time.

That brat...

Really doesn’t give me any face at all.

...

After leaving the camp.

John didn’t immediately head to the Dawnstar City Treasury.

There was simply too much piled up in his head right now.

The new traits from Lv41 to Lv45.

The kill notifications from the Night King Projection and Grey.

A huge pile of loot.

And the newly fused Void Staff.

He hadn’t had time to properly sort through any of it.

He found an empty elevated platform.

Sat down with his back against the city wall.

Then rested the Void Staff horizontally across his legs.

After fusing with the [Thorn Grimoire].

The staff’s appearance had changed dramatically.

Its overall color scheme was still black and gold.

But dark-red thorn patterns now covered much of the shaft.

Those patterns weren’t merely decorative carvings.

From time to time, faint red light could be seen slowly flowing through them.

At the center of the staff’s head.

A dark core rotated silently.

The surrounding space remained slightly distorted at all times.

Judging from appearance alone.

It was already on a completely different level from before.

John opened the weapon panel.

A massive amount of information instantly unfolded.

[Void Staff]

[Quality: SSS-rank]

[Type: All-Class Special Weapon]

[Current Fusion Cores: Irene’s Fire Crystal Staff, Darkstar Longbow, Thorn Grimoire]

[Weapon Trait: Compatible with multiple class systems, including melee, magic, and archery. All abilities from fused weapons can be used normally.]

[Quality Upgrade Effect: The weapon’s base Physical Attack, Spell Power, and attribute bonuses have been greatly increased.]

[All existing weapon skills, special effects, and traits have been fully retained!]

[Weapon-Exclusive Skills: Void Spear, Void Emissary, Void Black Hole]

John swept his gaze over the panel.

His attention quickly settled on the newly added [Void Emissary].

Four summon slots.

Massive attribute inheritance.

Its revival mechanic and independent combat capabilities were already clearly listed.

He didn’t bother studying the rest of the details again.

For something at this level.

Using it once in actual combat was enough to explain everything.

John casually scrolled down.

When he reached this point.

He still couldn’t help laughing.

This skill really was a little ridiculous.

Four summons with massively amplified attributes.

Capable of fighting independently.

With revival and damage-reflection mechanics on top of that.

He had barely obtained the skill.

And the Night King Projection had already helped him run a complete field test.

The result was simple.

Extremely useful.

Further down.

Was the trait list that had already become absurdly long.

[Current Divine-rank Traits: Reality Merge, Plunder, Heart of Void]

[Current Core SSS-rank Traits: Cleave, Overcharge, Lethal Damage, Projectile Amplification ×2, Unbound Projectiles ×2, Domain Expansion ×4, Projectile Split ×4, Full-Health Hunt, Apocalypse Execution, Combo, Chain Reaction, Relentless Onslaught...]

And the list continued for a long way after that.

John gently ran his palm across the dark-red thorn patterns on the staff.

The image of Rosaline holding her grimoire suddenly surfaced in his mind.

"Haha."

"If Rosaline knew..."

"She’d probably be heartbroken."
