Chapter 99: Chapter99-Time to Move: The Teleportation Arrays

[Lv38 Unique Divine-rank Talent "Supreme Evolution" triggered!]

[You have obtained the SSS-rank Trait — Projectile Split!]

John’s eyes lit up slightly.

Another one!

The Void Staff already had three [Projectile Split] traits.

Now it became—

[Projectile Split ×4!]

Which meant.

From now on, a single projectile skill.

Would start with sixteen projectiles!

And if [Combo] triggered on top of that.

Thirty-two!

The corner of John’s mouth slowly curled upward.

Continue.

[Lv39 Unique Divine-rank Talent "Supreme Evolution" triggered!]

[You have obtained the SSS-rank Trait — Domain Expansion!]

"Another one?"

John couldn’t help laughing.

The first three [Domain Expansion] traits.

Had already doubled his skill range three times in succession.

500 meters.

Became 4,000 meters.

And now the fourth one had arrived.

[Domain Expansion ×4!]

Double it again!

500 meters.

8,000 meters!

John looked at [Icefire Flame Array].

And suddenly felt.

Those five teleportation arrays in Night City...

Weren’t they standing a little too close together?

With all three new traits handled.

John finally dumped all fifteen Free Attribute Points from leveling into Strength.

[Strength +15!]

[Voidwalker Class Trait triggered!]

[Constitution, Agility, and Wisdom increased simultaneously!]

All four core attributes reached 1,923 at the same time.

Then.

John equipped the [Armor-Eroding Ring] he had just obtained.

[Wisdom +200!]

The next second.

[Voidwalker Class Trait triggered!]

All four core attributes synchronized once again!

[Current Strength: 2,123!]

[Current Constitution: 2,123!]

[Current Agility: 2,123!]

[Current Wisdom: 2,123!]

John flexed his fingers.

Lv39.

All four core attributes at 2,123.

Beautiful.

Finally.

There were still several special items left.

The first.

Was a transparent crystal vial only about the size of his thumb.

Inside was a single drop of pale green liquid.

Even the slightest movement.

Released an extraordinarily intense aura of life.

[Droplet of the Fountain of Life]

[Quality: SSS]

[Type: Single-Use Special Potion]

[Effect: Grants the "Life Spring" state after use!]

[While this state is active, you may revive on the spot an unlimited number of times after death!]

[Revival will not cause any EXP loss!]

[Duration varies according to the user’s level!]

[Current Duration: 3 minutes!]

John stared at the description.

And fell silent for two seconds.

"This thing..."

"SSS-rank seems a little low, doesn’t it?"

Unlimited revivals for three minutes.

No EXP loss upon death.

If he ever encountered an enemy he absolutely had to fight to the death.

He could simply drink this.

Die.

Get back up.

And keep fighting.

As long as he ground the enemy down within those three minutes.

Who cared how many times he died in between?

John carefully put it away.

A trump card.

An absolute trump card.

The second item.

[Mount Evolution Card]

[Quality: SSS]

[Effect: Raises the quality of one mount by one rank!]

[Maximum quality: Golden Divine-rank!]

[Single-Use Item!]

It was almost identical to the Pet Evolution Card from before.

Except the target had changed from pets to mounts.

John immediately thought of the egg still sitting in the incubator.

Leviathan.

It was already SS-rank to begin with.

What would it become after another evolution?

"I’ll check next time I log in."

The egg hadn’t hatched yet anyway.

No rush.

He continued downward.

Before long.

Two other scrolls caught his attention.

The first was completely pitch-black.

Once unfurled.

It revealed ten entire layers of interlocking sealing magic arrays.

[Forbidden · Tenfold Sealing Array]

[Quality: SSS]

[Type: Single-Use Forbidden Art Scroll]

[Effect: Completely seals a designated 2,000-meter area!]

[While the array remains active, passage between the inside and outside of the area is impossible!]

[All teleportation and spatial movement effects are disabled!]

[Units that die within the array will be forcibly revived on the spot and suffer double death penalties!]

[Duration: 10 minutes!]

John raised an eyebrow.

Block the exits.

Disable teleportation.

Even if someone died, they’d revive right there and remain trapped.

And their death penalty was doubled on top of that.

If this thing were used to trap players...

It was more than a little vicious.

"Not bad."

He put it away.

The second scroll was the exact opposite.

Its entire surface was silver-white.

And covered in countless humanoid afterimages.

[Forbidden · Phantom Step]

[Quality: SSS]

[Type: Single-Use Forbidden Art Scroll]

[Effect: Immediately summons 100 Phantom Step illusions upon use!]

[The illusions cannot attack proactively!]

[Each illusion has a 50% Evasion Rate!]

[After use, increases the Movement Speed of all allied units within 100 meters by 800%!]

[Duration: 5 seconds!]

John’s eyes lit up.

Another god-tier escape card.

Or rather.

A god-tier charge card.

Five seconds.

Eight times the movement speed!

Then add a hundred clones with 50% Evasion Rate to scramble everyone’s vision.

As long as space itself wasn’t sealed.

Who could possibly catch them?

"All good stuff."

The more John looked, the more satisfied he became.

Sure enough.

Raiding quests were the proper way to get rich.

This trip to Night City.

Had been absolutely worth it.

He quickly skimmed through the remaining high-grade equipment, materials, and scrolls.

None of them were low in value.

But compared with what he’d already seen.

There was no need to inspect every single one right now.

He could sort through them later when he had time.

John closed the Void Arsenal.

And let out a long breath.

Fun was over.

Next.

It was time to get down to business.

He raised a hand and opened the quest panel.

[Hidden Quest: Behind Enemy Lines]

[Time Remaining: 01:26:47]

The smile on John’s face instantly disappeared.

Less than an hour and a half.

Time was already getting tight.

The five legion teleportation arrays were still untouched.

And they also had to return to the temporary portal before the eight-hour limit expired.

They couldn’t delay any longer.

John stood up.

And looked at Rosaline.

"I’ve already given you what you wanted."

"Don’t screw up with Grey."

Rosaline was leaning back in her chair, examining the staff she had just recovered.

At his words, she smiled softly.

"Relax."

"When you make your move, he won’t be standing guard beside the teleportation arrays."

"Good."

John nodded.

Then turned to leave.

But after looking around.

Aya was nowhere to be seen.

Then he looked more carefully.

In the corner.

The white-haired girl was crouching with her back to everyone.

One arm hugged several golden scrolls.

While her other hand was still drawing circles on the floor.

She was muttering something under her breath.

John walked over.

And grabbed the back of her collar.

"Time to go."

"Huh?"

Aya was lifted straight off the floor.

"Boss, I can walk by myself!"

"We’re out of time."

"Then put me down first!"

"Once we’re outside."

"Big Sister Rosaline, save me!"

Rosaline lifted her black tea.

And casually looked away.

"Didn’t see anything."

Aya: "???"

The next second.

John was already striding out the door with her dangling from his hand.

Their destination.

The center of Night City.

The five legion teleportation arrays!
