Volume 1 Chapter 77: Killing the Zephyr Bird

"Xiao Hui, go retrieve Soaring Cloud!"

Of course he can't take the risk of being killed by the Zephyr Bird to personally go pick up the thrown out Soaring Cloud, but he has Xiao Hui. Under his mental command Xiao Hui ran straight towards Soaring Cloud's position. Regardless if it's on land or in the water Xiao Hui is always as fast like a grey shadow. Moments later it had already sucked Soaring Cloud in its mouth and brought it back. Xiao Hui's body size is very small, its four limbs added together aren't even as long as Soaring Cloud. But the suction of its mouth is very strong. Even the corpses of a large pile of creatures can be sucked into its mouth and devoured in a short period of time, not to mention a light weapon.

Holding Soaring Cloud in his hand again, Ling Chen stuck to the wall, quietly waiting for his skills to cooldown. And now… The appearance of the Sagittarius...o...b..has made him no longer have any thoughts of logging out again.

After 60 seconds Moon Shadow's cooldown time reset. Ling Chen swiftly charge out from the cave and then attracted over the Zephyr Bird. He raised his right arm again using Lunar Scourge's Moon Shadow to freeze the Zephyr Bird's body a couple meters in front of him, and then rushed forward continuously slashing down ten Full Power Strikes.

-428, -420, -842, -419, -425, -430, -419, -418, -838, -422.

Without Soul Sacrifice his attack ability evidently cannot compare to his ultimate state. But the stacked attack strength of dual weapons adding that the Zephyr Bird's defense is very low, ten Full Powered Strikes also eliminated over 5000 of the Zephyr Bird's HP. After ten attacks Ling Chen lifted his legs and ran. The Zephyr Bird that had recovered its freedom could only once again miss its attack, releasing an angered bird cry but unable to do anything.

A ma.s.sive body will indeed give people a sort of pressure on one's aura and vision, but sometimes it is definitely not a good thing.

Another 60 seconds, Moon Shadow's cooldown time once again refreshed, he repeated the process, rushing out of the cave and drawing over the Zephyr Bird… And then another ten Full Power Strikes taking away around 5000 of its HP, afterwards beating a hasty retreat.

It's a good thing that the Zephyr Bird is just a low-intelligence bird. If it was a human with mature intelligence then they would definitely be fuming with anger… But then again, if the Zephyr Bird had high enough intelligence then it also wouldn't be so easily controlled by Ling Chen in the palm of his hand.

200 seconds pa.s.sed by, Soul Sacrifice's cooldown time also refreshed. The following round of attacks will be attacks under his ultimate state. He rushed out of the cave, staring at the approaching Zephyr Bird… Before the Zephyr Bird's approach brought a sense of danger. Now watching it flying over Ling Chen felt like it was in a rush to come die.

"Moon Shadow!" In the light of Lunar Scourge the Zephyr Bird was completely frozen.

"Fire of Rage!"

"Soul Sacrifice!"

Ling Chen rushed forward, his gaze first stopping on its HP for an instant and then afterwards was a flurry of wild attacks.

The Zephyr Bird's HP — 153 802/180 000! In these 200 seconds, it recovered 20 000 HP. But in these 200 seconds, the damage Ling Chen dealt towards it was over 45 000! Its HP recovery speed simply could not compare to its rate of loss.

-2360, -4722, -2338, -4782, -2339, -2380, -2369, -2459… The last attack, Shooting Soaring Cloud!

-4792!

An incomparable storm of attacks, the Zephyr Bird's HP dropped another 30 thousand over points… Its health bar was instantly cleared by a whole ⅓.

After attacking Ling Chen returned into the cave at the first moment. In a bit Xiao Hui retrieved the thrown out Soaring Cloud… Afterwards, were the same repeated actions. When Moon Shadow's cooldown time refreshes, he will rush out of the cave and draw over the Zephyr Bird following with a rain of Full Power Strikes. After two rounds of attacks is the extreme attack under his Soul Sacrifice state. The last attack is the currently most lethal Shooting Soaring Cloud. Just like that looping over again and again. The entire process was easy and relaxing, there was practically no danger to speak of.

One Sagittarius...o...b..made the initially hopeless battle turn into being controlled by Ling Chen. The originally undefeatable Celestial Beast is also not that scary anymore, instead being played in the palm of his hand… This is the strength of Mysterious G.o.d orbs.

But, a Celestial Beast is after all still a Celestial Beast. Even if it's this kind of shameless attack style, eliminating it still isn't something that can be done in a short period of time. In this repeated  loop, the Zephyr Bird's HP slowly dropped… Finally, at the 18th round, following Ling Chen's fourth round of Full Power Strikes, the Zephyr Bird's HP dropped below 19 000.

18 652/180 000!

Yet at this time Ling Chen who could originally continue attacking stopped attacking and prematurely returned within the cave, glancing at Soul Sacrifice that still had just exactly 60 seconds left to cooldown… The Zephyr Bird still has an unactivated wind destruction skill "Nightmare Whirlwind". This destruction skill can induce the chaos of the wind element in a large area around the surroundings… Including the s.p.a.ce that he is in. If he lets the Zephyr Bird activate this skill then even if he hides in the cave he will still be affected, thus falling one step short of success.

And this ultimate skill's triggering condition is when its HP is below 10%. So when the Zephyr Bird's HP just barely reached 10% he stopped attacking, waiting the the next round to finish it in one go.

60 seconds pa.s.sed by very quickly, Moon Shadow's and Soul Sacrifice's cooldown times refreshed at the same time. Ling Chen rushed out of the cave, his gaze locking onto the Zephyr Bird at the first instant and also locking onto its current health value…

25 252/ 180 000!

The remaining HP was entirely enough for him to clear it under his ultimate attack state.

Focusing his gaze on the Zephyr Bird Ling Chen lifted up Sand Blade and Soaring Cloud… Come down, and then, everything can end!

As if hearing the calling in his heart, the Zephyr Bird still mechanically charged over after seeing Ling Chen appear even though every time it flew down it would be frozen and then suffer a round of violent attacks. This is the difference between low-intelligence creatures and high-intelligence creatures. This is also the primary reason why creatures of the same level are always stronger than humans, but humans are always able to beat them. (TL: I don't think this has anything to do with intelligence anymore, this bird just has no survival instinct.)

Lunar Scourge's strange light flashed up and once again instantly froze the Zephyr Bird's body. Ling Chen lifted up Sand Blade and Soaring Cloud, charging over in a straight line….

-4718, -2356, -4720, –2348, –2395, -4782, -2339, -2380…

The scene, froze on the spear in Ling Chen's hand. That instant that he used the same movement to cut into the Zephyr Bird's body. This is the fourth round of Ling Chen's Full Power Strikes. And before him, the Zephyr Bird's health bar had already become empty, being completely emptied by Ling Chen's attacks…

The Zephyr Bird's shadow disappeared, it's body also regained freedom, but it was already unable to move again. The instant that Moon Shadow's effect vanished, it spread its wings releasing its last cry of sorrow. The green glow on its body dissipated and its body also weakly fell forward in the scattered wind element, dropping in the front of Ling Chen.

"Ding… You have successfully killed LV15 Celestial BOSS 'Revived Zephyr Bird', Fame+1500, SP+1500."

"Ding… Congratulations you have levelled up, now LV11, gained 5 AP."

This powerful Celestial beast that forced Ling Chen into desperate situations numerous times, that even made Ling Chen decide to give up finally died. The colossal experience of a Celestial beast made Ling Chen gain a level even under the effect of "Heaven's Jealousy". His experience rose all the way to 40% of LV11. The experience given by Celestial Beasts is huge. At the early stage of the game single-handedly killing a Celestial beast can directly increase one level or even more. But, how many people are there in the world who can actually solo a Celestial BOSS at the early stage of the game? Even if it's Ling Chen, if it weren't for the protection of the Celestial Aqua Scale, the protection of the chasm water… Along with the mountain cave and Sagittarius...o...b..that later appeared as if it were fate. Don't mention defeating the Zephyr Bird, he probably would have already died under its claws.

The stuffiness built up in his chest all rushed out as if having found an outlet of release. Ling Cheng watched the Zephyr Bird fall over, his vision appeared a moment of haziness… Entering the game for a short few days another Celestial Beast that player's are unable to beat fell at his hands, all of this was really a bit too dream-like.

Encountering the Zephyr Bird, what he bore was incomparably huge pressure and one after another dangerous walks around the edges of death. But now he has killed it… He admits that him being able to kill the Zephyr Bird is absolutely not because his strength was stronger than its, but more like the protection of fate. If not for the sudden appearance of the Sagittarius...o...b..he would have already chosen to log out right now. If not for Xiao Hui, there would not have been the appearance of the Sagittarius...o...b.. And if not for the guardian of the Hall of Heroic Souls giving him a "Spirit Shield Orb", Xiao Hui would also not have been born. If not for him finding the mountain wall cave, he would have already died in the water of the chasm, everything afterwards would not have happened… But then again, being able to use all kinds of items and abilities he possessed and even the surrounding environment to the greatest degree, the most appropriately, in and of itself is a powerful ability.

"Xiao Hui, this is all your credit!" Ling Chen patted Xiao Hui's head, praising him from the bottom of his heart. Today is the first day of birth for Xiao Hui. Right now it has only been not even an hour's time since Xiao Hui was born. And this small period of time made Ling Chen clearly understand how powerful of a partner he'd gained. Even though it does not have any attack ability, but the help that it provides Ling Chen is even greater than that of 10 attack type pets.

The Zephyr Bird was soloed by Ling Chen at a difference of an entire 5 levels. Without any doubt when it died it was accompanied by an extremely flamboyant big explosion. Gold coins, potions and all kinds of items littered the ground. Ling Chen moved forward, picking up all of his rewards and then excitedly taking inventory item after item… Is there anything more exciting than checking the rewards dropped by a defeated Celestial boss? Eliminating this powerful opponent after nearly dying… What kind of big rewards will there be?

Volume 1 Prologue

China city suburbs, noon.

This is a normal street in what could not be a more regular civilian area, the burning sun baking the ground along with the countless pedestrians,, causing the pa.s.sing-by pedestrians to occasionally complain about or curse at the uncomfortable weather. The area couldn't be considered calm, but it wouldn't be as lively and flourishing as the center of the city.

At the side of the street, a still body lay on the ground. The intense sun like fire, yet he wore a body of black body wrap, under the intense sun you didn't need to think to know that the pure black face cloth was incredibly hot. Not to mention the ground was already baked to the point that people don't even dare to touch it. Black clothes such as his, the ground the way it is, just the thought of how they feel sticking to the skin can induce fear. Yet this person, has already been lying there for one day and one night.

"Why is this person still here?"

"Probably dead already."

The gaze of pedestrians only stopped on him for a brief moment before quickly leaving. The majority of people living here belonged to the lower cast of society, rushing about busily every day for their livelihood. In this society where human nature is cold, kindness for them is a cheap thing. At the same time, in this era, a person how has collapsed on the street must not be helped, this unwittingly had already become a cold consensus.

"Quick mom, look, there's a person? Is he sick?" A little boy with his hand held by his mom points his finger at the man on the ground and says.

"Don't get close to him, do not forget what mama said before, people who have collapsed on the ground, a lot of them is because they have contracted 'Isrock' and thus been abandoned, you must never get close or else you will get infected. Come, let's get a bit further away."

"Ahh!" the little boy gave a cry, his face revealing a scared look, taking his mother's hand on his own and running towards a further area, even afraid to just give the man another look.

Even a boy that is just six, seven years old knows the dreadfulness of "Isrock".

"Isrock", is a terminal illness that can cause the human body's immune system and life force to slowly deteriorate. The only way way to contract the disease is from another "Isrock" carrier. Its nature is similar to "AIDS" that was once common in the 20th and 21st centuries, but is a lot more scarier than "AIDS". At the moment, after contracting Isrock the world's longest survivor only lived for five years.

After entering the 30th century, humans suffered from Mother Nature's revenge. To fight for the increasingly limited resources, terrible battles constantly erupted, the smokes of war rose from all corners of the world. By the nuclear and magnetic pollution left behind after the battles, the "Isrock" disease was born. After people with naturally weak immune systems live in these polluted environments for a long time, it is easy for their bodies to develop the "Isrock" virus. The appearance of the "Isrock" virus also meant that this life was nearing its end.

Even more terrifying is the contagiousness of the "Isrock: virus. It can spread through any bodily fluid…including blood, saliva, even sweat…therefore, whenever a person contracts the "Isrock" virus, their family can only choose to mercilessly abandon them. Because no amount of money or effort is enough to save their life, keeping them on the other hand could cause even more people to become infected…

"Isrock" is like a horrifying demon causing people to avoid it only afraid that they are too slow. While it, has been considered Heaven's punishment towards humanity's cruel battles. Because without the nuclear and magnetic pollution left behind by the battles, the "Isrock" virus would not have been born. Thus, under the criticism and cries of the world's citizens, the "Hundred Year Armistice Convention" known by the whole world was signed by each country. And the battleground to solve international disputes, under the terms of the "Convention", moved towards the second world that humans had already become deeply dependent upon, the virtual reality game world.

Using the win or loss of battles in the game world to settle issues, this method was approved and accepted by the majority of people in the world. After the "Hundred Year Armistice Convention" was signed, the advances in virtual world games had also reached an unprecedented pinnacle. Each country would also pour in large amounts of financial resources and painstaking effort on the topic of training the gaming world's top players.

After the "Hundred Year Armistice Convention", following the decrease in nuclear and magnetic pollution, carriers of "Isrock" became less, but the horrifying shadow it left humanity would never dissipate.

And so, this black clothed man lying on the side of the road, who people naturally a.s.sumed was one of the poor abandoned people who had the "Isrock" virus, not a single person dared to get close.

Until…

"Big brother! Big Brother, hurry and wake up, you'll get a horrible burn lying on the ground like that. Big brother…""

In front of the man, there was little girl wearing a light yellow dress, she only looked about ten, with a pair of eyes as beautiful as the stars and a young face as intricate as a clay doll. Any who saw her would subconsciously stop, wondering in amazement if they were looking at an angel who accidentally appeared on earth.

The little girl held a cold drink of which small portion had been drank in one hand, her other hand throwing away her parasol, lightly shaking the non-moving male, her star like eyes filled with worry and anxiety, calling out with a soft, tender voice.

Maybe it's because the man was only lightly knocked out, or maybe he was never unconscious to begin with, under the call of the girls not too loud voice, the man's body slightly moved a bit, and slowly, incredibly difficultly lifted his head up, revealing a pale man's face, this is a teenager who looks no older than 16,17 years of age, messy hair, lips completely cracked, more so his entire face was scary pale. He opened his eyes slightly, clouded eyes meeting a pair of pure, crystal like eyes.

Such pretty…eyes…

"Thank goodness thank goodness, you're finally awake!" the girl gave a sigh of relief, and then happily laughed. The teenage male looked at her pure, flawless smile through his hazy eyesight, startled for a moment. Before today, he had experienced too much cold stares and indifference, and had long ago become accustomed to it, he found it a little hard to believe that on this world there still existed such a pair of pure, clean eyes.

"Big brother, are you sick?" Can you stand up? It's very hot lying on the ground like that…ah, no problem, my dad and mom are about to be here. They'll help big brother, oh right, my dad is a doctor here, he'll definitely make big brother better again." The little girl held up her parasol, covering her upper body, using a soft, pleasant voice asking and comforting him.

The man moved his chapped lips, his throat as if burned by fire. He tried for a long time, but only managed to say one word…

"…Water…"

"Water…" The girl blinked her eyes and then placed the slightly drunken cold drink at his lips: "I don't have water… will this do? It's very cooling, and very sweet."

The little girl carefully placed the straw in his mouth, the teen used all his energy, taking a long drink, instantly, a ma.s.s of cold liquid like a clear spring filled his mouth. After it slowly flowed down his throat, flowing into what seemed as a dead body. At that moment, he finally felt the existence of his own body, his vision also became clearer. He tightly bit the straw that brought him back from the line of death. His eyes, staring at the girl who was at the same time looking at him, not willing to leave.

"Is it tasty? If it tastes good then drink the rest of it hehe, if you want to drink more, I can have papa and mama buy it again later." Seeing him trying hard to suck the straw, the girl's thin brows arched into two crescent moons, revealing a super kawaii to the max smile. This smile was also heavily imprinted in his heart… he knew, this life, it would be impossible to forget this moment, and especially this girl.

Uniform footsteps came from behind, the girl turned around immediately, proceeding to wave her hands and started shouting: "Papa, Mama, I'm here, there's a big brother here who's collapsed."

The one who came are a husband and wife not yet in their middle ages, regular clothes highlighting that their family was not wealthy. When they saw the girl and the man lying on the ground beside her, both of them had the living daylights scarred out of them.

"Ruo Ruo (若若）, hurry up and get away from him!" The girl's mother ran towards her terrified, hastily carrying the girl to the side. With a soft cry, the cold drink in the girl's hand slipped, cooling liquid splashing across the ground.

"Nn…Mama, why did you carry me aside, big brother is thirsty, he really wants to drink water…mama, papa, can you guys save him please? Papa, you're a great doctor, you'll definitely save him right? "The girl struggled slightly in her mother's embrace, her eyes revealing her worry as she looked at the teenage boy,

"Don't worry, he does not have 'Isrock'."

The girl's father is a doctor, usually he interacts with a lot of "Isrock" patients, after looking at the teen a couple times, and he knew that he did not contract Isrock. Only after listening to his words did the mother feel relieved. She crouched down, showing an apologetic smile towards the teen: "Child, sorry, at the time I was too worried about Ruo Ruo (若若) which is why… what's your name? Why are you here?"

The teen's lips moved, after a while, he difficultly let out a voice: "My…name…"

What is my name right now… I don't know.

Because. I already decided to forget my past name… I really wish I can forget forever.
