Death’s Dagger, a powerful legendary weapon! (5800)

Chapter 489: death gods dagger, a Powerful Legendary Weapon! (5800)

Cao Xing was full of doubts, seemingly unaware of what had happened or why these people reacted so strongly.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem with one hundred thousand?"

The officer shook his head and said, "Before this, the Otherworld Lord with the most Honor Points we had ever encountered barely reached seven thousand."

"We all thought no one would ever be able to exchange for that Legendary weapon."

"Yet the power of the Kingdom Holy Sword recorded that someone's Honor Points exceeded one hundred thousand!"

"The King even sent people to search for who this person was, but there has been no clue."

"Never did we expect that person to be you!"

Cao Xing was slightly stunned.

It seemed he hadn't expected such a connection.

He smiled and said, "I see. Can I exchange for items now?"

The quartermaster said, "Of course you can."

"However, since you have too many Honor Points, it requires someone of a higher rank to handle the exchange for you. I will have the General come to see you."

After speaking, he turned around, preparing to leave.

At that moment, a powerful aura instantly descended and arrived beside them at an extremely fast speed.

"No need, I am already here."

As the words fell, a strong man wearing white battle armor and nearly 1.9 meters tall appeared before them.

Cao Xing instantly narrowed his eyes.

Because he had seen this person before.

It was none other than General Koro, who had participated in the first battle at Lake Doron City previously.

A glance swept over!

Level 68, Dominator-class creature!

Very strong.

No wonder he was able to go toe-to-toe with the Otherworld Dominator back then:

At this moment, General Koro asked, "Are you that Otherworld Lord who gathered one hundred thousand Honor Points?"

Cao Xing nodded, "It is me."

A look of admiration appeared in Koro's eyes.

"Very good! I didn't expect that among the weak Survivor lords, there would still be a powerful existence like you!"

"With a full one hundred thousand Honor Points, you must have caused extremely severe losses to the Church of Light."

"I wonder, how did you obtain so many Honor Points?"

Cao Xing shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I just destroyed many of their strongholds."

He did not mention that he had participated in the Lake Doron City battle.

Hearing Cao Xing's simple reply, Koro didn't ask further, his eyes still carrying a look of appreciation.

Especially when he saw Sarah and Assam behind Cao Xing, the look of admiration on his face grew even stronger.

"Not bad, you look quite young, yet the aura on you has reached Master-level strength."

"And these two by your side even make me feel that I am no match for them."

"What a remarkable lord!"

"I wonder if you have any interest in joining our kingdom's army?"

As a general of the Ice Crystal Kingdom, Koro had always been fighting against the Church of Light.

As could be seen from the last time at Lake Doron City, he could be said to utterly despise this faction.

And the Honor Points on Cao Xing also indicated that he was definitely a mortal enemy of the Church of Light.

Therefore, Koro thought of pulling Cao Xing into the army.

However, Cao Xing shook his head and said, "No, I don't have any thoughts of joining the army for now."

Hearing this, the general also smiled and nodded, not forcing the issue further.

"It's fine if you don't join. Let's talk about business first now."

"I wonder what you want to exchange these Honor Points for?"

Cao Xing pondered for a moment, then said, "I remember that besides killing enemies to gain Honor Points—"

"The masks on the members of the Church of Light can also be exchanged for Honor Points, right?"

Koro nodded slightly, "What do you mean?"

Cao Xing didn't speak, instead directly taking out the tens of thousands of masks from his backpack.

"Clatter—"

Tens of thousands of masks piled up on the ground looked quite spectacular.

Among them, the majority belonged to ordinary members of the Church of Light, along with quite a few black-robed priests, and even white-robed priests.

At this moment, the officer and General Koro both stared at this huge pile of masks on the ground, somewhat shocked by the number of masks.

However, thinking of the Honor Points on him, they understood.

"It seems… you really wiped out quite a few members of the Church of Light—"

"With so many masks, even the Church of Light would take several years to develop this many members."

"Yet they all ended up falling into your hands. Even I have never killed this many cultists."

Koro sighed endlessly.

However, what they didn't know was…

Most of these masks on the ground were traded by Cao Xing through the trading market.

He didn't explain much either, but instead said, "Please help me see how many Honor Points these masks can be exchanged for."

The quartermaster nearby hurriedly said, "I will immediately send people over to count them, please wait a moment."

Under his command, two soldiers quickly walked over and began classifying the masks according to their types.

A few minutes later, the two soldiers said,

"They have been counted. These masks add up to thirty-five thousand Honor Points."

"Counting the Honor Points recorded by the Kingdom Holy Sword, you have a total of 144,162 Honor Points."

Upon getting this number, expressions of shock appeared on the faces of General Koro and the officer nearby.

It seemed they didn't expect that one hundred thousand Honor Points wasn't his limit; now it had directly reached one hundred forty-something thousand.

A smile appeared on the corner of Cao Xing's mouth.

It was about what he expected.

With so many Honor Points, he could exchange for quite a few rewards.

Thus, he said directly,

"Since that's the case, I want that death gods dagger, plus four Neros Cannons and four Destroyer Siege Crossbows."

"General, what do you think?"

Hearing this, General Koro said directly, "Alright, no problem."

Cao Xing was slightly stunned, seemingly not expecting them to agree so readily.

He had thought there would be some twists and turns.

After all, that was a Legendary weapon!

He had even prepared himself for these guys to obstruct him in every possible way and be unwilling to give him the dagger.

But thinking about it, it was normal.

After all, this was a promise personally made by the King using the power of the Kingdom Holy Sword.

If it were violated, the entire Ice Crystal Kingdom, including nearby neighboring countries, would mock them.

In comparison, a Legendary equipment piece wasn't that important.

General Koro said, "Wait a moment, I will go fetch the death gods dagger for you."

The other officer from the quartermaster department also said, "I'll have people bring over the Neros Cannons and Destroyer Siege Crossbows for you."

After speaking, the two of them left at an extremely fast speed.

Meanwhile, Cao Xing took Sarah and Assam and continued to wait here.

Not long after, he saw the sound of machinery being dragged coming from the courtyard next door.

Four or five soldiers together pushed out a huge cannon about four or five meters long, with a muzzle diameter reaching sixty to seventy centimeters!

Behind them, several more soldiers pushed massive siege crossbows.

Soon.

A total of more than thirty soldiers together placed the four Neros Cannons and four Destroyer Siege Crossbows into the courtyard.

That officer walked up to Cao Xing again, smiling as he said, "Lord Cao Xing, all the items you wanted are right here. Please check them."

A smile also appeared on Cao Xing's face.

Then he glanced at the attributes of these big guys.

Previously, those [Destroyer Siege Crossbows] had already been checked.

What Cao Xing wanted to check now were the attributes of the other Neros Cannons.

[Neros Cannon (Orange)]

[Quality: Epic]

[Attack Power: 81,867 ~ 92,317]

[Attached Effect: Firepower Coverage (After the shell lands, it deals 158% explosion damage to enemies at the center, 88% blast damage to enemies within a 300-meter radius, and applies a layer of "Ashen" effect to the enemies)]

(Burn: Takes a fixed 8,156 points of burning damage per second, lasting for 60 seconds, stackable up to 5 layers–)

[Maximum Range: 15 kilometers]

[Attack Interval: 7.2 seconds/time]

[Durability: 57,633 / 80,000 (Each attack will consume 1,000 durability points; materials can be used for repairs)]

Seeing the attributes of this cannon, Cao Xing's heart instantly startled.

"Good fellow! Over 80,000 attack power, and an explosion range of up to 300 meters, this is a bit terrifying!"

"If there were one or two hundred of these, even if those Tier 6 or 7 boss-class powerhouses came to attack, a large area of them would die in one go!"

Of course, this idea was extremely difficult to achieve.

For an Epic-quality cannon like this, one didn't even need to think to know its manufacturing cost must be extremely expensive.

Building just one would bankrupt someone!

Moreover, Cao Xing didn't even have the blueprint, making it even more impossible.

The officer nearby said, "Lord, to use the Neros Cannon, you also need specialized shells."

"You have made an outstanding contribution to our Ice Crystal Kingdom, so I can gift you 100 of them."

"They are packed right in those boxes."

Cao Xing glanced at the large boxes beside him, cupped his hands, and said, "Thank you very much!"

The officer smiled and shook his head, "You're welcome."

"However, if you want to use the Neros Cannon long-term, you must master the manufacturing method of these shells yourself."

"One hundred shells won't last very long."

"If you need it, I can sell you a blueprint for 2,000 Honor Points."

Cao Xing's heart stirred slightly.

Then, he took out three masks of red-robed bishops and five masks of white-robed priests from his backpack.

"These should be enough, right?"

These masks were originally prepared by Cao Xing for himself to keep.

Now that he took them out, he only had one red-robed and one white-robed mask left.

Seeing the masks in his hand, the quartermaster's smile became even more brilliant.

He hurriedly said, "Enough, enough."

It seemed that to them, this kind of mask was something extremely precious.

After speaking, the quartermaster put away the masks in Cao Xing's hand and handed him a blueprint.

[Obtained: Neros Cannon Shell Manufacturing Blueprint]

After getting the blueprint into his hands—

Cao Xing walked over again and put all four cannons and four Destroyer Siege Crossbows into his backpack.

In his heart… he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The first harvest after arriving at the Eternal Frost Main City was finally safely in hand.

If we just bring these cannons back, we can increase our territory's strength quite a bit.

Even when challenging the eighth wave of monster sieges, he would have even greater certainty.

Meanwhile.

A formidable figure was rushing over at an extremely fast speed; it was precisely Kro.

Within a few flashes, he arrived by Cao Xing's side.

Then, he directly took out a box forged from black refined iron from his bosom.

"This Chosen Lord, this is the death gods dagger you wanted, Tadeus."

After speaking, in front of everyone, Kro opened the box.

In an instant, an aura of extreme lethality instantly spread outward!

The surrounding soldiers all felt streaks of blood appear on their skin.

Even Cao Xing felt waves of stinging pain.

Looking into the box.

A dagger with a bizarre shape and a pitch-black, ink-like body lay quietly inside.

The blade of the dagger was slender and narrow, yet looking at it brought a sense of illusory distortion, as if it had been eroded by the power of darkness.

The blade flickered with a dim light, as if it could swallow all light, making people dare not look directly at it.

At the tip of the dagger, there was also a faint blood-red light, like the gaze of a death god, making one shudder with cold!

Just the aura unconsciously emitted by this dagger made people feel unbearable!

Sarah beside him was completely unable to take her eyes off it anymore!

Cao Xing exclaimed admiringly: "As expected of a Legendary dagger, this kind of power is strong enough!"

Kro nodded and said: "Tadeus is a powerful weapon, and it is also known as the Dagger of Slaughter."

"The former user of this dagger slaughtered an army of hundreds of thousands overnight."

"In the eyes of the world, this is an evil weapon."

"However, we need to understand that weapons themselves do not distinguish between good and evil. What truly determines their nature is the person who uses them."

"A sword might become a tool of slaughter in the hands of a villain, while in the hands of a hero, it can guard justice and protect the country as a sharp weapon. Tadeus is no exception."

Cao Xing glanced at General Kro, seemingly not expecting him to have such insights.

Previously in the Lake Doron City battle, this general had been miserably tricked by the Church of Light, almost resulting in total annihilation.

However, being able to become a general, he certainly had his extraordinary aspects.

Cao Xing nodded solemnly, then stored it into his backpack.

[Acquired: death gods dagger – Tadeus (Legendary)]

In his eyes, an expression of excitement could no longer be contained!

At this point, his greatest goal for this trip to Eternal Frost Main City could be considered completed!

Although he couldn't wait to check the stats of this Legendary dagger.

But right now, he still had one matter to discuss with the General Kro before him.

Cao Xing said: "General Kro, besides exchanging honor points, there is another matter I need to trouble you with."

"Please speak." The general appeared very straightforward.

Cao Xing replied: "You know, I am an Otherworld Lord."

"And in my territory, a large teleportation array has already been built."

"I want to obtain the teleportation array permissions of Eternal Frost Main City, you see—"

This was also one of his other objectives.

This Kro seemed quite easy to talk to, so Cao Xing thought about seeing if he could directly obtain the permissions through this relationship.

Hearing this request, General Kro gave Cao Xing a deep look.

"I didn't expect that you would build a structure like a large teleportation array so quickly."

"Ordinary people, naturally, cannot obtain the teleportation array permissions of our Eternal Frost Main City."

"However, as a lord who possesses one hundred thousand honor points and took away the death gods dagger, I can go apply to His Majesty the King for you."

Hearing this, an expression of pleasant surprise appeared in Cao Xing's eyes once again!

"That's fantastic, many thanks, General Kro!"

Before he could finish speaking, General Kro shook his head and said: "However, don't get happy too early."

"Whether or not you can be granted permissions still requires the consent of His Majesty the King."

"Moreover, His Majesty the King is not in the palace recently and will probably return in a few days."

"Before that, you will need to wait first."

Cao Xing's heart stirred.

He had previously heard that the king of the Ice Crystal Kingdom was already advanced in years.

Unexpectedly, this old king had actually left the main city.

Of course, he didn't ask much more, but directly replied.

"Alright, no problem."

"I'll be staying at the Helenda Tavern. If there is any news, please trouble General Kro to send someone to notify me."

The general nodded slightly.

Just as Cao Xing was about to leave directly, he suddenly remembered something.

"Right, General Kro, if you have time whenever, you can come to the tavern to find me. I'd like to discuss something with you."

Kro's eyes held some doubt.

But he also knew that the Otherworld Lord before him was no ordinary person.

"What matter?"

Cao Xing leaned close to him, then said in a low voice: "Regarding—the matter of Taside—"

Hearing this, General Kro's expression shifted slightly.

He seemed to understand something and replied solemnly: "Alright, I will visit you tonight."

Cao Xing nodded slightly, then took Assam and Sarah, who was in the shadows, and left the palace.

After they left, Kro and that quartermaster stood in place, gazing at the backs of the two.

After a moment, the quartermaster asked in a low voice: "General Kro——what did this Otherworld Lord say to you?"

He seemed extremely curious.

And Kro glanced at him indifferently, then shook his head and said: "Nothing, don't ask what shouldn't be asked."

The expression of the quartermaster instantly turned serious, and he respectfully took half a step back.

Kro's figure flashed, and he also directly vanished from the spot.

On the way back to the tavern, Cao Xing wore a smile on his face.

This trip to the palace was unexpectedly smooth.

Not only did he successfully exchange all honor points, but he also established a connection with General Kro.

Things would be very convenient from here on.

Just as mentioned before.

Because Cao Xing and the Ice Crystal Kingdom both shared a common enemy, the Church of Light.

If they could cooperate later to deal with this faction together, the probability of uprooting them entirely would be even greater.

Soon, Cao Xing and the others returned to the tavern.

He first had Assam return to his room.

Then he brought Sarah and entered his own room.

Amidst the somewhat excited gazes of the two, Cao Xing impatiently took out the pitch-black, ink-like dagger.

"Hum—"

The instant the dagger appeared, a palpitation-inducing fluctuation could be felt.

The surrounding light also distorted with its appearance.

Looking at the stats.

[death gods dagger – Tadeus]

[Quality: Legendary]

[Equipment Level: Level 70]

[Attack Power: 7864 ~ 7931]

[Soul Points: 0 (Every time an enemy is slain, 1 soul point will be harvested, up to a limit of 1000)]

[Attached Special Effect ①: Agility + 2500, Strength + 1800, Hit Rate + 35%]

[Attached Special Effect ②: Power of Soul Devouring (When attacks hit an enemy, they can instantly strike the enemy's soul, causing them to fall into a weakened state, reducing attack speed by 30%, movement speed by 30%, and hit rate by 30%)]

[Attached Special Effect ③: Dark Blink (Consumes 100 ~ 500 soul points, moves 1000 ~ 5000 meters toward a forward area, cooldown time: 1 minute)]

[Attached Special Effect ④: Death is Here (Legendary-level special effect, when soul points accumulate to 1000, all soul points can be consumed to enter "Death Posture", duration 10 minutes, cooldown time: 1 day)]

(Death Posture: All subsequent attacks add a 5% instant death effect (2% for Hero-level units, 1% for Legendary units), and each time an enemy is killed, their soul will be harvested, increasing critical strike damage by 1% up to a limit of 100%, and the critical strike damage bonus disappears after Death Posture ends.)

(Instant Death: Instantly slays the enemy, ignoring all health and armor.)

(Equipment Description: Shadows like ghosts, blades like frost, soul devouring silently, night shadows move——.)

"Hiss—" After reading this Legendary dagger's long equipment introduction, Cao Xing suddenly drew in a sharp breath.

He exclaimed admiringly: "Isn't this a bit too overpowered?"

"It's fine if it can teleport over ultra-long distances, but it also comes with instant death and 100% critical damage bonus effects!"

"Holy shit! Combined with my "Eternal Power", wouldn't Sarah be able to stay in "Death Posture" infinitely and then crazily harvest enemies?"

Too terrifying!

Among these, the most overpowered one was naturally that "Instant Death" effect.

Although the probability wasn't high, that was Instant Death!

An instant slaying effect!

It would even take effect on Legendary creatures.

If they could find some means to control Legendary creatures for a long time and let Sarah go up and hack wildly.

There was even a probability of directly finishing off a Legendary creature.

Taking a few deep breaths, he calmed the excitement in his heart.

"Right on time, Sarah's level has reached Level 70, so we can equip it on her."

Thinking of this.

Cao Xing looked at the Dark Elf beside him.

And her gaze had also been staring at that death gods dagger for a long time.

"Sarah, catch!"

Cao Xing tossed it directly over.

The death gods dagger made no sound as it sliced through the air,

Sarah steadily caught it. Even as composed as she was, an expression of excitement appeared in her eyes at this moment.

She said with emotion: "This weapon contains a death-like power; it truly is a powerful dagger."

"I never expected that one day I would actually be able to wield a Legendary-level weapon."

"Many thanks, Lord!"

Cao Xing smiled and said: "It's nothing, bind it now."

Sarah nodded solemnly, and then proceeded with the binding.

[Your territory member Sarah Blade Dance bound the Legendary weapon — death gods dagger, title: star picker has upgraded, Luck + 10…]
