Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

1418 Dagger of Sin

“The strength of the soul in the bottle is still two tiers lower than that of the experts of the Holy Court’s holy realm. However, you’ve already done very well.”

Gu Luo looked at Fang Heng, his eyes full of admiration.

It was hard to imagine that a Holy Paladin who had gone through the holy realm trial could be sealed without any soul sharpening.

Today, Fang Heng had already surprised him twice in a row.

Fang Heng’s heart sank when he heard that.

Still two tiers away?

This was troublesome.

It took him a lot of effort to seal Qin Hu back then.

It would only be more difficult to seal high-tier holy realm experts.

“Don’t worry.”

Gu Luo saw the worried look on Fang Heng’s face and explained, “I didn’t make it clear to you before. I originally thought that you would complete the talent advancement trial after you advanced to high-tier necromancy. I didn’t expect you to progress so fast.”

“In short, after the sharpening of your soul, the comprehensive strength of your soul will be greatly improved. At that time, your ability to control the soul bottle will be greatly improved. Sealing the experts of the Holy Court at the holy realm level won’t be a great burden to you.”

Fang Heng heaved a sigh of relief and nodded, “I see. Thank you for your explanation, Teacher.”

“Yes. It’s very difficult to improve one’s talent.” Gu Luo continued, “However, it still requires some experience. At this stage, the preparations for completing the talent mission are not sufficient.”

“Although the soul you submitted is only a quarter, its soul strength is not low. I promised you before that I would give you a reward after you advanced to the intermediate necromancy. I’ll give you both rewards together.”

Gu Luo sat on the chair and clapped his hands.

Two shadows appeared behind Gu Luo and condensed into two necromancy attendants.

One of the necromancy attendants brought a wooden box to Fang Heng.

“This dagger was left behind by my teacher. I can lend it to you temporarily. I believe it will bring you some convenience in advancing to high-tier necromancy.”

“Ka…!”

The wooden box in front of the necromancy attendant opened.

[Item: Inherited dagger of sin (rental).]

Tier: Legendary

Status: Rental (In this state, the player cannot own the item. Damage to the item will cause the renter’s favorability to decrease greatly.)

Description: A dagger that was once used by one of the seven undead Emperors. The dagger contains countless powerful souls that have been obliterated. The souls have dissipated, but their combat skills will forever remain in the dagger.

Additional skill: Soul burning (Passive effect, unable to be deactivated).

Skill description: Consumes the player’s soul energy. Each attack will be accompanied by an additional attack, causing additional soul damage to the target (Soul attacks will cause a large amount of additional damage to spiritual creatures).

Additional skill: Evil spirit possession (Passive effect, cannot be deactivated).

Skill description: Obtain the remnant memories of the soul sealed in the dagger of sin. Allows the player to possess the combat power of the soul. During use, the user will continuously consume soul energy and cause continuous damage to the user.

Additional skill: Eternal soul (Passive effect, cannot be deactivated).

Skill description: Killing enemies with the dagger of sin will trigger the eternal soul effect, completely destroying the enemy’s soul and absorbing it, restoring part of the player’s soul energy (ineffective against machinery, elements, and other units).

Fang Heng held the dagger and immediately felt a cold aura flow into his body, quickly spreading throughout his entire body.

“Phew!!”

A thin layer of blue flames immediately ignited on the dagger.

Gu Luo reminded, “You can train and improve your soul tenacity and soul bearing while using this dagger. However, it will also constantly devour your energy. I suggest you don’t force yourself.”

“Alright, Teacher.”

Fang Heng listened to Gu Luo and tried to wave the dagger a few times.

The dagger did not look sharp, and one could even see the rust on the blade. However, the layer of dark blue flames on it gave off an extremely dangerous feeling.

“Take it slow. The sharpening of the soul can’t be completed in a day. With the power of the dagger, it shouldn’t be a problem for your soul to increase its tenacity and endurance to S-Level.”

Gu Luo continued to look at Fang Heng and said, “I can lend it to you for three days. Also, the soul you gave me is not bad either. I can extend the rental period by three days. Of course, if you can provide me with more souls of the Holy Court experts or the dust of evil thoughts, I can extend the usage period for you.”

[Hint: The player has triggered a mission that can be submitted repeatedly-renting the dagger.]

“Alright, Teacher.”

Fang Heng put away the dagger and put it in his backpack.

After they finished talking about cultivation, seeing that Fang Heng had not left, Gu Luo could not help but ask, “Any more questions?”

“Yes, Teacher. In fact, I encountered some trouble in the barbarian realm.”

Fang Heng nodded and told him about the trouble he had encountered in the Holy Court and the battle with the sacred tree.

After he finished, Gu Luo lowered his head and fell into deep thought. His eyes were filled with doubt.

That was strange. It would cost a lot to downgrade from the high tier to a low tier. Moreover, the Holy Court had brought a powerful holy artifact.

Why would the Holy Court focus on an ordinary intermediate game world?

Perhaps Fang Heng was hiding something.

Fang Heng waited for a few minutes. Seeing that Gu Luo was still thinking with his head lowered, he could not help but ask in a low voice, “Teacher Gu Luo, I’m worried that the Holy Court might continue to attack me. Is there any way to stop the Holy Court?”

When Gu Luo raised his head again, the doubt in his eyes had completely disappeared.

This was good news.

There must be something important that made the Holy Court spend so much effort to enter the barbarian realm. It would be great if he could give them some trouble.

Gu Luo’s confusion turned into a smile, “I don’t know much about the sacred tree, so I can’t give you any hints. However, Fang Heng, this isn’t a bad thing for you. Instead, it’s an opportunity, isn’t it?”

Fang Heng was stunned.

Opportunity?

“An unawakened reincarnated Saintess of the holy realm. Her tier has already reached the strength of a judge of the holy realm. After obtaining her soul, your talent guidance mission can be successfully completed.”

Fang Heng’s heart skipped a beat.

Saintess!

Viona!

Her level was actually so high?

This meant that he had found the mission target!

Previously, he was still troubled by the lack of clues about the talent guidance mission. He did not expect to find a breakthrough so quickly.

It was obtained without any effort!

Fang Heng asked a little excitedly, “Teacher, what should I do?”

Gu Luo shook his head and replied, “I can answer your questions and give you some hints when you encounter difficulties, but you still have to rely on your own strength to deal with the Holy Court. Go, my advice to you is not to be obsessed with the present. Time is the best gift death can give its believers. Our chance is far more than this.”
