The Ring That Defies The Heavens Chapter 1004 - Immediate Need For Energy

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Being a strong a.s.sa.s.sin, Evil Laughter knew that when Jiang Fei was preparing for a strong skill, he was completely open for attack. That ]was the best moment to strike!

With the Cauldron of Agility's effect, Evil Laughter left nothing but a blur in the air when he moved at his fastest speed. No one could see him move across the battlefield! Evil Laughter skipped using Stealth since that skill had a reduced movement speed effect. On the other hand, he knew that Jiang Fei might have prepared to counter stealth players.

The initial distance between Jiang Fei and Evil Laughter was more than 1,500 meters. However, with 10,000 Agility points, the man literally ran 1,500 meters in one second. All the Freezing Traps that were laid out by the Hunters of Empyreal Dragon were all avoided. None of them were triggered.

Equal Grounds!

Both Evil Laughter and Jiang Fei's Health Points were reduced down to 1.

"You should be more careful!" said Evil Laughter before flashing behind Jiang Fei to strike.

Ding!

Immune!

With a loud chime, Evil Laughter's attack was stopped by the Shadow Barrier. Jiang Fei had already deployed the barrier as soon as Sharaz left the place.

"It's a trap!" Evil Laughter grunted.

Evil Laughter noticed all the Freezing Traps when he was running towards Jiang Fei. However, he did not think much about them since there was a possibility that the traps were left by the boss. As long as he could dodge all of them, he would be able to kill Jiang Fei unnoticed. However, when his dagger was blocked by a shadow blanket, he knew that he had fallen into a trap. When Jiang Fei was fighting the boss, he had noticed that Jiang Fei was taking damage from the boss. In fact, when the boss left, Jiang Fei was seen "channeling" a skill. He should be vulnerable!

"Time to split," said Evil Laughter, leaving behind another taunting message before running away.

However, before he could move, he had realized his entire body got extremely heavy. So heavy that he was only able to run at normal speed when he was supposed to be running at 1,000 meters per second.

When Jiang Fei had sent off Sharaz, he immediately signaled all the magicians that were hiding to start moving in. Their trigger point was to immediately cast Slow on anyone that was seen appearing beside Jiang Fei!

Evil Laughter tried to run faster but his legs felt like they were running in heavy mud. His entire body felt so heavy that it was getting harder and harder to even move! Even so, his movement speed was still faster than an ordinary Thief player with Haste. That did not mean that Jiang Fei could not chase after him!

"Heh! Thanks for the heads up. I'll remember all the lessons that you gave me!" said Jiang Fei with smile!

Jiang Fei pointed his hands at Evil Laughter and closed his fist. The Blade Dragon swooped in at breakneck speed and went straight through Evil Laughter's body!

Evade!

Evade!

Evade!

-1!

Evil Laughter activated his own ultimate, life-saving skill that grants him 100% Evasive chance for the next 10 attacks. He had genuinely thought that it would be enough to survive. Unfortunately, the Blade Dragon consists of 128 swords! He might evade 10 of them but there were still 118 swords coming right through him!

"You cheater…" said Evil Laughter as his body hit the ground.

Be it Jiang Fei or Evil Laughter, when either one of them hunted or was hunted, the two of them were always alone. Both of them would always be able to escape unscathed. Especially Evil Laughter, since his movement speed was too quick for Jiang Fei to react. Jiang Fei would always survive because of his many death preventing skills.

This time, Jiang Fei was not alone. Even though all of the Freezing Traps that the Hunters had laid out were ineffective, Jiang Fei still had magicians to back him up! Even though the Slow effect did not last long, it was just enough for Jiang Fei to chase after him and end the fight once and for all!

Beside the Cauldron of Agility and all of his equipment, two more items dropped out of Evil Laughter's body.

It was obvious then, the Cauldron of Luck on Jiang Fei worked extremely well when it came to "robbing" a player's fortune. Besides the sure-drop Cauldron of Agility and all of his equipment, Evil Laughter had also lost two most valuable items in his inventory. It was a skill book and a cup.

"Hah! We are finally done," said Jiang Fei before heading to collect his loot.

Cauldron of Agility (Special Equipment, Holy)

Agility: +10,000

Note: Special Equipment, effect will still be active even if stored in a player's inventory.

Jiang Fei snickered like a little boy as if he got an ice-cream from his dad.

Paladin's Chalice (Special Item, Ancient)

Use: Reduce you and a target's Health Point's down to 1. Effect lasts for 30 seconds.

Note: Paladin's Chalice can only be used on players.

This item was the key for Evil Laughter to kill Jiang Fei. With that, he would be able to negate Jiang Fei's superior health points and defense. Unfortunately, the chalice's effect can only be used on other players. It would be the most powerful item in the entire game if the item could be used on bosses and NPC. So far, Jiang Fei had no use for it since his attack was sufficient enough to kill any other player. There was no need for him to depend on the chalice to defeat other players.

Forbidden Spell: Scorching Lotus

Use: Teaches you the Forbidden Spell: Scorching Lotus.

Requirement: Level 90 Pyromancer.

"Woah! How did that brat get this?!" Jiang Fei gasped. The chalice was useless but he would never surrender it to anyone else. The item was useless for him but it was extremely useful for others to use it against him. On the other hand, the Forbidden Spell skill book was so strong that no one in the game could use it. He would have to wait for some time before anyone in Empyreal could use it.

Ding! Congratulations to player Verdure Glider for collecting all nine Treasured Cauldron!

Ding! All Nine Treasured Cauldron has been collected! The War of the Heavens will start shortly. Server will shut down in 5 minutes for an immediate patch and server upgrade! Please log out during this time to prevent any item or progression lost. Server downtime will take 3 days!

While Jiang Fei was examining his loot, the system notifications popped up and were repeated many times.

"Heh. it's about time!" said Jiang Fei before logging out voluntarily.

It was in the middle of the night when Jiang Fei logged out. Still feeling sluggish and tired, Jiang Fei laid back down and continued to sleep.

When Jiang Fei woke up the next day, he got busy immediately. The first thing he did was to call Shroder in America to inform him that he would be coming to America to discuss about Uranium. 0542 was in need of an immediate source of energy. The best and fastest way to get them was to negotiate with the Americans.

When asked about it, Jiang Fei was told that the Mutant Brotherhood required some time to think about it. It was only normal since the Americans had placed an embargo, preventing any radioactive materials from entering China's soil.

After the recent battle, America was enlightened to the fact that China no longer feared any nuclear threats. They did not even need them to launch a devastating attack! Hence, an embargo would no longer be effective in preventing China from becoming stronger. Since Jiang Fei had personally asked for them, and even offering him Energy Potions to trade with, the Mutants would have no reason to deny the man of his Uranium.
