Chapter 267: Kills and Talent Spoils of War
Because of that technique, Ji Ye wasn’t slowed down even though he split some of his attention reading the information of the Ghostship captain. He lunged at the captain who had four arms and weapons in three of them.
While he stepped on the water and moved forward, Ji Ye pressed his hands forward too!
“Roar… Roar…”
Two streams of Dragon Aura were launched from Ji Ye’s fists. They raised the seawater down below and created two magnificent waterspouts.
It was Twin Dragons Emerging From Water, one of the moves in the Dragon-Subduing Strike!
“Haha!”
The captain of the Ghostship, whose eyes were different from other Four-Armed Snake Men, reacted very fast.
Two of his four hands crossed the dark red machetes they were holding, and the most wicked red light immediately surfaced on the weapons, constituting an illusionary skull of a demon that had sharp horns. It blocked Ji Ye’s Dragon-Subduing Strike!
“Roar!”
At the same time, the captain of the Ghostship’s third arm waved a shield that was half a meter in diameter with the skull of a dragon engraved to it. A red light of brutality beamed out of the dragon’s eyes, and it roared like a beast, with flames rising in its opened mouth.
“Roar!”
However, the roar of an eastern dragon dwarfed that of the dragon from the west.
A third water dragon appeared behind the captain of the Ghostship. It was greater than the previous two and was more than fifteen meters long.
Also, this water dragon was black and looked intimidating. After it emerged from the water, it opened its mouth and bit the captain of the Ghostship from his back.
Naturally, it was a Flood Dragon that the Jade Dragon Sword created with seawater under the boost of the Flood Dragon bloodline power!
With his ability in multitasking, Ji Ye could attack from the front and the rear at the same time.
The Ghostship captain had four arms, like the Forest Monsters did. It was a physical advantage of his race.
Also, unlike the Forest Monsters who couldn’t turn their arms back easily, those Four-Armed Snake Men could easily twist their arms by 180 degrees.
Pa!
The dragon shield that the Ghostship captain held in his third arm abandoned the attack on Ji Ye and blocked the black Flood Dragon that was trying to bite his back aggressively.
Boom!
In the next moment, the dragon fire that the shield breathed out collided with the seawater that weighed more than ten tons, filling the surface of the sea with mist as if a storm was coming!
The Ghostship captain that blocked the black Flood Dragon instantly had glittering red eyes.
Hum!
Following that, the dispersing soul power of the dead ghost crewmen all over the battlefield was concentrated on him crazily as if it was attracted to it.
After it was melted into his body, the Ghostship captain became more and more daunting.
He seemed to be rising from Extraordinary Rank-7 to Extraordinary Rank-8!
A breakthrough in the middle of a battle?
That wasn’t something that happened regularly.
The greater possibility was that the Ghostship captain was Extraordinary Rank-8 in the first place, except that his level dropped when Ji Ye’s Yellow Mallet hit him and destroyed half of his body. He was probably trying to heal his wounds by absorbing the soul power.
The black energy that was surging close under the attraction of the Ghostship captain drowned the battlefield. Ji Ye, as a human being, could not see a thing!
Whoosh!
Then, the Ghostship captain’s fourth hand, which seemed empty, soundlessly made a piercing movement in Ji Ye’s direction.
Clearly, his hand was not unarmed; it was just that the weapon was invisible.
Such a weapon was more difficult to defend against!
However, a certain place on Ji Ye’s chest flashed and blocked the invisible attack.
It was the Power of Dragon Valiance that he acquired from Zhao Yun!
The amount of the Power of Dragon Valiance mostly depended on mental power. Ji Ye had reached Extraordinary Rank-7 when he created illusions with Mirage Dragon Pearl earlier, and he had been training himself in the gales of the Eagle Men’s nests during the three days of seclusion.
So, the attack of the invisible weapon was simply blocked by the Power of Dragon Valiance.
Although his vision was limited, Ji Ye had already become adept at True Seer. More importantly, because of the collision between the dragon shield’s breath and the seawater, he was surrounded by mist and water vapors!
How could Ji Ye, who had the Flood Dragon bloodline, be ambushed in such an environment?
“Roar!”
After deflecting the Ghostship captain’s attack, Ji Ye suddenly joined the two dragon-shaped pillars of water and transmitted a stream of Dragon Aura into it.
After that, the Dragon-Subduing Strike became much more powerful than before.
“Roar!”
The illusionary demon was collapsed by the water dragons, and the Ghostship captain’s dark red machetes cracked too.
He had to turn the invisible weapon around to block Ji Ye’s fists, which had already reached his front!
Although the Ghostship captain managed to block Ji Ye’s hands with three weapons, a straight knife that was as black as the soul power around but looked more profound suddenly emerged between them!
The Ghostship captain had four weapons, one of which was a strange invisible weapon.
Apart from his fists and the Jade Dragon Sword, Ji Ye also had a unique hidden weapon.
It was the Soul Slasher that he acquired from the Battlefield of Providence!
Ji Ye, who was right next to the Ghostship captain, suddenly released one of his hands and suppressed the Ghostship captain’s three weapons with just one hand and an outburst of Dragon Aura!
His empty hand, on the other hand, grabbed the Soul Slasher!
“Roar!”
A red light flashed in the Ghostship captain’s eyes, and he uttered roars that could’ve made Extraordinary Rank-5 experts pass out. His third arm that was holding the dragon shield tried to block Ji Ye’s weapon!
However, it was impossible for him to do that.
It was because the water that made up the black dragon had turned into ice at some point, and the ice dragon had already bitten the shield.
Hum!
Therefore, the edge of the Soul Slasher fell on the Ghostship captain’s body unstoppably.
The Transcendent feature of this saber was to absorb the soul power around and burst it out in an attack.
There were hundreds of soul creatures on the battlefield, and the saber had already absorbed a tremendous amount of soul power.
The Ghostship captain even specifically attracted a lot of soul power back!
It was not hard to imagine how much soul power had been accumulated in the saber. Even though the Ghostship captain had risen to Extraordinary Rank-8, he was still cut into halves by Ji Ye easily.
After being cut apart, the Ghostship captain’s body, unlike the other soul creatures that had a green “core”, had a heart like a living person. Also, the heart was enshrouded by a parchment on which a small Ghostship was drawn. It was also why the light in his eyes was so different.
Squeak, squeak, squeak…
Waves were spreading out on the parchment, so all the Ghostship crewmen abandoned their opponents and tried to reinforce their captain.
Hum!
A great amount of soul power flowed into the Ghostship captain who had been cut into halves, hoping to revive him.
However, how could Ji Ye possibly give him the chance?
Whoosh!
The Yellow Mallet that was floating in the water flew back to Ji Ye and smashed the heart that the parchment covered.
Crack!
Red light surfaced on the parchment, trying to resist it, but it was useless in the face of the destructive Yellow Mallet.
Pew!
The beating red heart was squished, and the Ghostship captain, who was a Quasi-Boss, exploded along with it.
[“You have killed the captain of the Ghostship (Extraordinary Rank-8, Quasi-Boss). EXP received: 1,506. Honor received: 330. Rare Honor: 5!”]
Squeak, squeak, squeak…
The death of the Ghostship captain caused a chain reaction.
The reinforcing crewmen of the Ghostship all screamed in pain.
Then, they too exploded and disappeared as black mists!
The only survivors were the few Four-Armed Snake Men, who didn’t die after the Ghostship captain perished.
However, since all their companions were dead, it was impossible for them to resist the heroes and players from the Twin Dragon Island.
[“You have killed Three-Eyed Monkey (Extraordinary Rank-0 Elite) and received 20 EXP and 2 Honor!”]
[“You have killed the Twin-Horned Rhino…”]
[“You have killed a crewman of the Ghostship…”]
Hundreds of kill notifications popped up in Ji Ye’s head.
The only thing that was slightly wasteful was that, since they were all considered to have been killed by him, they didn’t drop any spoils of war, because his level was much higher than theirs.
However, the Ghostship was a ship of treasures in the first place, and the treasures it carried were all emitting colorful brilliance in the seawater.
It was needless to say that as the first Quasi-Boss Creature that Ji Ye killed in the settlement, the Ghostship captain dropped seven spoils of war after he died!
Apart from the four weapons that he was holding, there were also an “Extraordinary Rank-7 Quasi-Boss” Soul of Civilization and the parchment that covered his heart.
However, what surprised Ji Ye most was the new spoils of war.
[Talent: King’s Soul]
[Level: Extraordinary]
[Rarity: Superior]
[Description: Whoever has this talent will be able to control and order the souls whose levels are lower than themself.”]
[Note: It’s a rare artifact that can replace a talent or give someone a talent. Those who didn’t have a talent earlier won’t be able to upgrade their talent if it’s endowed by this treasure.]
