Chapter 160: Chapter 133: New and Old Grudges, So It Was You

Although he couldn’t help but grumble, Yu Zhun had actually expected this outcome. Even though it felt a bit like belittling himself, if even he could afford a Life Substitution Stone, how could the descendants of Gods not have one?

Moreover, when that guy named Mith was fighting him, he still had the mind to spit out harsh words even at death’s door. If he were truly about to die, he wouldn’t have acted like that.

Of course, his opponent’s "death" wasn’t entirely without a price. Yu Zhun reached out and gladly accepted the dropped Equipment and items. Just a cursory glance was enough to almost make him laugh out loud. As expected, not only did the other party have a full set of Legendary Equipment, but all five pieces were enhanced to +25. Enhancements above +20 required the Three Divine Talismans, which could only be exchanged using Divine Demon Medals. Calculating it this way, the cost of his opponent’s Enhancements was likely even higher than the Legendary Equipment itself.

This trip into the Giant Demon Valley was absolutely worth it.

As these thoughts crossed his mind, Yu Zhun’s gaze subconsciously fell on Tagel, who stood nearby with a dark expression and a dangerous aura. If it hadn’t been for this guy interfering in his fight with Mith, his Blood Lock probably wouldn’t have been forced out. According to Sheila’s earlier description, this was also the guy who had blocked her arrows. To be able to deflect arrows fired by Sheila from that distance, his tankiness was truly ridiculous.

However, in front of him, tankiness meant nothing at all. Since he was so eager to rush to his doom, they could die together!

"You don’t need to be so worked up," Yu Zhun said, deftly spinning the dagger in his hand as he strode toward Tagel. "As you can see, Mith isn’t dead. However, you are going to die."

CLANG—

At that moment, the toll of a bell striking from the void echoed out.

[Doomsday’s Thorn Yu Zhun has tolled the Funeral Bell for you!]

A blood-red dagger instantly materialized above Tagel’s head, and the ringing of the Funeral Bell snapped him out of his shock over the sudden turn of events.

Tagel’s first reaction was relief. Since Mith wasn’t dead, the situation shouldn’t be too severe. But immediately after, he thought of the Equipment Mith had dropped. If these incredibly valuable pieces of Equipment fell into his hands...

A glint of deep Greed flashed through Tagel’s eyes.

Although he was about to face the opponent who had killed the much stronger Mith, Tagel didn’t feel too nervous. He hadn’t witnessed the earlier stages of their battle. But in the final moments, he had seen Mith—who had used an Equipment effect to fully restore his health after his Blood Lock ended—get instantly killed by Yu Zhun with a single strike.

Such high damage would be enough to trigger his own talent. Furthermore, during the fight with Mith, this Assassin named Yu Zhun had already exhausted his Blood Lock ability. Such one-time, life-saving trump cards were incredibly precious. With that gone, the opponent posed even less of a threat to him.

"Bring it on!" Tagel roared. With unwavering confidence surging in his eyes, he charged at Yu Zhun and swung his Long Sword down in a heavy slash.

CLASH—

Two daggers thrust out simultaneously, easily parrying the heavy, forceful strike. Taking advantage of the momentum, Yu Zhun twisted his body, aiming his blade straight at Tagel’s chest.

Yet, in this fleeting window of opportunity, Tagel froze in place like a statue. His gaze was dead-set on one of the daggers in Yu Zhun’s hands.

After reaching the First Turn, Red Equipment wasn’t exactly a dime a dozen, but it was accessible to many qualified players. Plus, in Yu Zhun’s plans, the Falcon’s Fury Song Dagger was only a temporary weapon. Therefore, he hadn’t used a Plain Potion to mask its appearance.

Looking at its familiar design, Tagel recognized the weapon’s former owner. Scenes from the past surfaced in his memory.

Epic weapons were generally obtained from Dungeons, and weapons produced in Dungeons were rarely unique. For example, the Epic Priest weapons dropped in the Red Moon Tide Dungeon were all copies of the Red Moon Crimson Book. Under normal circumstances, it was impossible to confirm a person’s identity based solely on a weapon.

However, some weapons were exceptions. Belorn’s weapon had been obtained by Tagel and Belorn together. It came from a Demon Beast in the wilderness of the Divine Revelation World. Due to special circumstances, the beast had undergone abnormal Demonization, gaining a certain amount of the Power of Origin. After being slain, it dropped an Epic weapon.

It was safe to say that this weapon was completely unique. And the person currently holding it... was the one who had killed Belorn.

Tagel’s eyes instantly turned bloodshot. Monstrous fury allowed him to unleash combat power far beyond his usual limits. Instead of being struck by Yu Zhun’s blade, he fiercely swung his sword, knocking Yu Zhun back before charging furiously at him.

"It’s you! You’re the one who killed Belorn! I’m going to kill you!!!"

Hearing the familiar name, Yu Zhun, who had just steadied himself, was momentarily taken aback. Belorn? Wasn’t that the guy he had killed in the Nether Abyss?

This guy...

Yu Zhun’s gaze subconsciously shifted to the space above the other party’s head.

[Server 23993]

[Tagel, Lv 37]

The corners of Yu Zhun’s mouth twitched involuntarily. When he killed Mith just now, this guy hadn’t been nearly this angry. It seemed that he and Belorn were truly very close.

"In that case, you can go keep him company," Yu Zhun said casually. With a stomp of his foot, he deployed his Assassin Domain once again, enveloping Tagel within it.

"The one who’s going to die is you!" Tagel let out a furious roar. His silver-white Equipment turned pitch-black in an instant, adding an aura of murderous intent and chilling gloom to him.

Not all equipment sets provided a comprehensive boost to stats as their set effect; some set effects were far more specialized.
