Chapter 77: Sword

The power of the Conqueror King was unquestionable. Even in the battle against White Night, it could not be called his defeat; it could only be said that the Goth army failed against nature—the freezing weather that turned water into ice stopped the Goth Knight Order, causing them to crash and burn on the polar ice plains.

Therefore, Dean never doubted the power of the Conqueror King.

Tap, tap, tap…

Dean stepped onto the stairs one step at a time, finally standing in front of the Gold Throne, looking at the Corpse of the Conqueror King before him—when standing in front of the Conqueror King, Dean once again felt the Conqueror King’s burly size. Even sitting there, it was equivalent to his standing height.

And the pressure that already existed became even more obvious at this moment.

Dean had to grit his teeth and support his body firmly to avoid being crushed to the ground by the aura remaining on this Corpse—and this was just the remnant of a Corpse. If he were alive…

Rumors said that the Conqueror King had the Bloodline of a Giant Dragon or a giant, and was a mixed-blood Descendant of these legendary creatures.

At first, Dean did not believe it too much.

However, when standing in front of the other party, facing that burly figure and the majesty possessed by the remaining aura, Dean somewhat believed it—

“Whether it is a Giant Dragon or the Descendant of a giant… from the moment he became an enemy, I had no way back!”

Muttering in a low voice, Dean’s palm grasped the [Demon Blood Dagger], which had already started beating crazily, and stabbed it towards the Conqueror King’s Corpse just like that.

It was merely an ordinary brocade robe, and after hundreds of years, it had long since rotted away.

The moment the [Demon Blood Dagger] touched it, it turned into flying ash, allowing the [Demon Blood Dagger] to easily pass through this layer of obstruction and stab into the Conqueror King’s chest.

Squeak, squeak…

A sound like metal cutting against metal rang out from the friction between the [Demon Blood Dagger] and the other party’s Corpse.

That resistance surprised Dean.

He now felt completely as if he was not facing a body of flesh and blood, but a Steel Body—and a extremely solid kind of steel at that.

After all, as a quite special Magic Weapon, the [Demon Blood Dagger] was definitely far beyond ordinary metal. Ordinary Longswords would only end up being split in two in front of it.

However, when facing the Conqueror King’s Corpse, the [Demon Blood Dagger] encountered resistance.

Such physical Strength shocked Dean—

“Even a Gold-rank Knight probably couldn’t achieve this!”

Dean thought to himself.

As a former Gold-rank Expert, because of various ‘shortcuts’, Dean could only be considered half a Gold-rank Expert, not a true Gold-rank Expert; however, this did not hinder Dean’s knowledge of true Gold-rank Experts—after all, he had assassinated more than one Gold-rank Expert.

Therefore, Dean had quite an understanding of Gold-rank Experts.

Although the bodies of those Gold-rank Experts were powerful, enough to be unharmed by ordinary swords, that was just ordinary swords. When facing a Magic Weapon, if they didn’t dodge, the ones who would die would be these Gold-rank Experts, not the opponents holding the Magic Weapons.

Precisely because of this, Dean was able to succeed in assassinations repeatedly.

Of course, the price paid was also extremely heavy.

Most of the people who followed him had died in these several assassinations.

After all, a perfect assassination not only required an Assassin, but also a perfect layout, and supporting roles were indispensable—and while an Assassin could strike and retreat, those supporting roles could not completely get away unscathed.

Thinking of his followers dying tragically at the hands of that Fendel Goth Prince, hatred appeared in Dean’s heart once again.

“Blood waters the Soul, life cleanses the Sword in my hand, I will surely cleave through thorns and sharp edges!”

The oath in his heart appeared once again, causing Dean to shout loudly. He suddenly poured all his Strength into his body and stabbed the [Demon Blood Dagger] into the other party’s chest.

Squeak, squeak, squeak…

Amidst such friction sounds, the [Demon Blood Dagger] stabbed all the way through.

Hum!

A buzzing sound appeared on the [Demon Blood Dagger], more active than any previous time, as if a bear after hibernation saw a plump salmon.

An extremely rich smell of sulfur spewed out from the [Demon Blood Dagger] wantonly, as if trying to drag the surroundings into the sulfur river of Hell.

Hiss, hiss, hiss!

Such melting sounds rang out from inside the Conqueror King’s Corpse—making Dean think of the saliva secreted by some kind of man-eating flower.

This feeling was definitely not pleasant, but Dean did not have the thought of letting go of the [Demon Blood Dagger]. He just held the [Demon Blood Dagger], forcibly enduring the strangeness in his heart, and quietly waited for the end of [Flesh Absorption].

And this [Flesh Absorption] took longer than any previous one.

A full ten minutes passed before the [Demon Blood Dagger] stopped buzzing.

The moment it stopped, a power that had never existed before, incomparably clear, was transmitted into Dean’s body with the [Demon Blood Dagger] as the medium—

[Constitution +0.5]

An attribute increase far beyond Dean’s imagination appeared on the character panel.

“1% of the strongest power, then the Conqueror King’s Constitution is… 50?!”

Dean came to such data with great surprise—Dean’s surprise was unavoidable. After all, a Gold-rank existence only had an attribute reaching 20.

Although Dean had already guessed after reaching the Gold-rank himself that there were other existences above Gold, he didn’t expect them to appear directly in front of him like this.

It was really a bit caught off guard.

However, Dean adjusted his mindset very quickly.

After all, he had experienced even more bizarre things; so, for some things he was prepared for, exceeding expectations was not something to be surprised about.

The Conqueror King’s Corpse still sat there upright.

Obviously, even the [Demon Blood Dagger] could not completely melt this Corpse that was far above the Gold-rank—Dean checked this Corpse.

It didn’t look like flying ash like others after being devoured by the [Demon Blood Dagger], nor was it just the so-called ‘shell’ left.

The bones and muscles inside still existed, but they could no longer arouse the interest of the [Demon Blood Dagger].

Or perhaps… the remaining things were not what the [Demon Blood Dagger] could absorb.

Such a discovery surprised Dean, but he was relieved immediately.

Although the [Demon Blood Dagger] was magical and powerful, it still had its own limitations—perhaps when facing existences at the Gold-rank or below the Gold-rank, it was invincible.

However, when facing existences above Gold, its effect would inevitably be weakened.

“Above Gold…”

Dean muttered silently. After a moment, his gaze once again looked at the Conqueror King—to be precise, at the Greatsword supporting the Conqueror King’s hands.

A blade a full seven feet long, and a width wider than an adult’s palm, plus the hilt.

Such a Greatsword, except for a burly person like the Conqueror King who could use it, for the rest, holding it would be purely a decoration—this was not an exaggeration. That Goth Prince, apart from using this Longsword to obtain the Goth Throne, never took it out again, but stored it in the Treasury.

Obviously, the other party didn’t not want to use it, but had no way to use it.

Dean’s hands grasped the hilt of that Greatsword and took it out from under the Conqueror King’s hands—in fact, this was not easy. Apart from the weight of the Greatsword itself, the Strength of the Conqueror King’s hands still existed, even if he had long become a Corpse.

[Dragon Head Greatsword]

[Type: Extended Greatsword]

[Weight: 115kg]

[Length: Blade length 7.1 feet, Blade width 8 inches]

[Special Effects: 1, Intimidation; 2, Slashing; 3, Dragon Roar]

[Intimidation: This Greatsword that devoured countless lives has its own deterrence for any creature; Effect: The opponent needs to undergo a mental judgment (Will related—self Will (-0-0.1-0.2) – 2.0 > 0); if failed once, the opponent falls into panic, and Strength decreases by 30%; if failed three times, the opponent falls into a stupor or coma.]

[Slashing: Possessing unimaginable sharpness, it is invincible when facing targets; Effect: The opponent’s colliding weapons and Armor need to undergo a judgment of Strength and durability (Both related—Opponent Strength + Durability > Self Strength + 3 Durability (Judgment—when opponent weapon/Armor durability is ultimately less than, it will be cut off)] (Note: Every 1 durability is equivalent to a Steel Armor)

[Dragon Roar: When casting this Longsword, the Blood and Soul of a violent Giant Dragon were integrated. Although not all, it also destined this Longsword to be extraordinary; Effect: After three frontal attacks with the opponent (one true meaningful contact between each other counts as one), a Dragon Roar will burst out—within a 5X5 range, except for the swordsman, all will receive the Baptism of Dragon Breath Flame] (Note: Range 1X1 is one yard X one yard)

[Description: This is the Sword of the Goth King, a Longsword specially forged after he killed a Red Dragon; using it requires not only a strong body, if one wants to truly unleash the power of this legendary Greatsword, special skills are also needed.]

[Note: If you want to pick up this Greatsword and use it freely, you need at least 5 Strength, and a trace of Giant Dragon Bloodline—this is the minimum standard, although, when using it, you will still consume your Stamina significantly.]

Hiss!

Even though Dean was mentally prepared, he couldn’t help but gasp after seeing the information of the Conqueror King’s Sword.
