Chapter 141 – Kingdom of Darkness
“This divine item only has one function?” Fatty asked dubiously.
“That’s all that remains of it. It already works; what more do you want?” The appraiser rolled his eyes.
Fatty shared the Spatial Spoon’s information with Purple Bell, and the latter was quick to respond, “A divine item! Congrats, Big Brother Fatty!” Her voice was delighted. She was truly happy for Fatty.
“Hehe, just part of it…” He had been about to suggest paying Purple Bell compensation, but he swallowed the words upon hearing her chipper tone. Such an idea felt disrespectful toward her. However, secretly, Fatty vowed to make a powerful piece of equipment to repay Purple Bell in the future.
Closing the communicator, Fatty fiddled with the Spatial Spoon. The key-shaped tool displayed a silver white color after being appraised, which looked ordinary and lacked the majestic air of a divine item. As he gripped the item, he felt spatial waves fluctuate around his body.
After a short consideration, Fatty activated the Spatial Spoon’s function. The Spoon emitted a silver light. Just like what had happened on the seventh floor of Ma.s.s Graves, a s.p.a.ce portal gradually opened before Fatty; but, the Phantom had opened a black s.p.a.ce then, whereas Fatty’s was white.
“So this is a private s.p.a.ce coordinate?” Once Fatty stepped inside, the entrance behind him slowly closed. The s.p.a.ce was no larger than a pa.s.sageway about ten meters long, two meters wide, and three meters high. Those who stood inside the corridor could see out, but those outside couldn’t see in. As he walked along the pa.s.sageway, Fatty felt a cotton-soft feeling beneath his feet.
Exiting, he found he’d traveled nearly a dozen meters away from where the portal first opened. Fatty nodded in approval. While this item had only one function, it was still a superb skill for short-distance teleportation. The private s.p.a.ce now made it possible to pa.s.s through impenetrable obstacles, and the rogue was inclined to try his new skill on the Black Tortoise City wall. Yet, looking at the 20-30m thick wall, Fatty immediately gave up the idea.
The battle at Ma.s.s Graves had finally reached its climax by the time Fatty returned. Lei Ting was covered in wound upon wound. The h.e.l.lfire Stallion under him was so utterly exhausted that the fire it fumed was weaker and weaker.
However, the Black Tortoise City party wasn’t faring too well either: Jijilu still appeared to be okay since, as a mage, he only cast long-ranged attacks. As for the melee NPCs, Drucker had been the first to retreat with heavy injuries due to being the weakest among them; but, the rest also bore wounds. The four Yao beasts had sustained the brunt of most of the attacks because of their ma.s.sive forms. If their health had not matched their size, they would have been squashed by Lei Ting long ago.
“The Corps Captain lives up to his reputation.” In the sky, Libya wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and raised his dragon spear up high. He tapped his foot on the pterosaur’s back and charged once again toward Lei Ting.
Roaring, the gigantic deepwater crocodile, the giant boa, and the huge turtle surrounded the Undead Marshal and also continued to attack him. Wielding a magic staff that was over a meter in length and engraved with refined patterns, Jijilu chanted, and the fist-sized magic stone atop the staff glowed with a brilliant light.
“Hah!” Facing the simultaneous attacks, Lei Ting let out a loud cry and threw the Demon Slayer Sword into the sky. With a whoosh, the Demon Slayer transformed into a black beam that pierced the pterosaur’s body. The flying creature trembled all over, and a burst of black miasma gushed from its wound. In an instant, the pterosaur was completely enveloped.
No longer holding the Demon Slayer Sword, Lei Ting maneuvered his hands before his chest in a series of constantly changing gestures. At the same time, he screamed, “Thunder of the Ninth Heaven!”
Resounding thunder split the air as countless lightning bolts gathered to form a colossal dragon of electricity. The lightning dragon was far bigger than the three beasts on the ground; it was over several hundred meters in length, and the head was the size of a small hill.
The dragon’s body flashed with sparks, and it let out a long screech as it coalesced into being. Then, in one fell swoop, the creature swallowed Libya along with his pterosaur.
“Master Libya!” people on the ground shouted in fright. One after another, they spurred their steeds to attack Lei Ting.
