Chapter 115: Capturing Guardian Beast part-1

*Ding. You discovered the resting place of Archmage Solomon, one of the ten demigods of the world. You discover 1000 fame.

"Archmage Solomon? I remember his name from the Great Wall. If I remember correctly, he's the mage who put barriers around beginner villages, regions, and kingdoms. Is it perhaps a super-powerful legacy?" mumbled 'One' and proceed further.

Meanwhile, at Llyne kingdom, Wil finally reached the Ruins of Marten in level-150 zone while killing every winged mob that's obstructing his way.

He entered the empty ruins and went directly to the Armory.

Looking at the weapons and equipment on the walls, Wil nodded with a smile, "Good. It seems no one else found this place or they have run away after experiencing the effect. I'm the only one who can take these either way."

Wil then took out the light stone fragment and touched one of the epic grade swords.

Walfie's sword

Grade: Epic

Level: 160

*Ding. You purified an epic grade corrupted-equipment. You receive 100 fame as a reward.

"Now, this is new. I didn't know that I can even receive fame for purifying equipment.

If that's the case, why I haven't received any fame after purifying the gold coins? Maybe, it's because they are currency?" Looking around, Wil mumbled, "I can't count on legendary grade but there are sure a lot of epic grade items here.

With a huge boost in fame, I might get closer to become Marquis. Let's purify every equipment here. Here we go…"

*Ding. You purified a gold grade heavy armor. You receive 10 fame as a reward.

*Ding. You purified a gold grade dagger. You receive 10 fame as a reward.

*Ding. You purified a silver grade spear.

"Eh? No fame? I see. Silver grade and below won't give me anything, huh…"

.

.

*Ding. You partially purified a legendary grade Bracers.

Lynn's Bracers (Bound)

Hp: 3256882

"Oh, it's a bound one, huh…"

As he picked up the legendary grade Bracers, Wil nodded in satisfaction, "I can touch them. Good. Too bad that they can't be used.

Wait a second…

Bound? Can't be used?"

As something clicked inside his mind, Wil laughed out, "Hahaha... Let's just collect everything for now. I can use these to scam my enemies and even earn hundreds... No, even buy it for thousands of gold."

Wil continued to grin as he started placing them into inventory one by one.

After clearing out the armory, he spoke, "I summon the Fire Pegasus."

*Neigh*

A black horse with fiery wings and tail appeared before him.

As he takes his seat, Wil whispered, "Let's go, Pegasus."

The horse neighed once again before flapping its wings and started flying in a low altitude so as to not touch the ceiling at an extreme speed. As the wind hit Wil's face, he immediately equipped Sauron's crown as he suddenly felt the need to protect his eyes and ears while moving at a speed of Mach 1.7 that already surpasses the limit of a player.

Within a blink of an eye, as the Fire Pegasus reached the tomb, Wil took a long breath and whispered himself, "so that what it felt like to ride a war aircraft. It felt like a bit of teleportation but I bet long distances will feel f*****g damn cool…"

Looking around, he quickly found the sword and threw it into the inventory after purifying it partially.

After his business is finished at Ruins of Marten, Wil started flying towards the tallest peak of the level-200 zone. Ignoring the dungeon cave and the way from it to reach the top, Wil took the shortest path with flying higher and higher.

As he landed on the highest point in the entire kingdom, Wil found a cave and walked in its direction.

But, before even take another step, he heard a roar coming from the cave.

Upon hearing it, Wil's immediately summoned Golem before taking the bow in his hands and aimed calmly towards the cave.

While he pulled the string and conjured an Ice arrow, suddenly, a black creature exit the cave, flying towards him with its wings spread far wide.

Leon

Species: Winged Lion

Status: Corrupted, Mutated

Grade: Legendary

Level: 200

Hp: 780 million

Description: Used to be the guardian beast of the Kingdom and the personal mount of Acke Llyne, the first King of Llyne Kingdom. After being corrupted by demonic energy, Winged Lion was imprisoned by its master at the top of the mountain.

*Ding. You discovered the guardian beast of the Kingdom. You received 500 fame as a reward.

*Ding. You received a quest.

Description: Defeat the corrupted guardian beast of the Kingdom and return the former glory of the Llyne Kingdom.

Reward: 10 million Exp, 200 gold, 1000 fame, Level-200 legendary grade equipment box.

"What a petty reward. If it was before the tournament, I would have killed it but now… those rewards are useless to me.

But, then again, killing it would probably raise my level to 200… Nah, I can just go to the dungeons to level up."

Meanwhile, the black winged-lion spew out a fireball, which brought Wil to his senses and he dodged to the left, and then, released the Ice arrow.

Unlike the other beasts that always go head to head towards his arrows, Leon behaved differently.

Instead of tackling, it rotated its body in the air, dodging the arrow, and this time, it spews out a fireball towards the golem that tried to punch. "Golem, dodge to the right…" But, before it followed the order, the fireball already hit it because of short distance between them.

"-23,037,562"

As a critical hit was landed, the Golem's health was downed to 70% in one hit.

Without a trace of surprise on his face even after seeing such high damage, Wil used "Heal" on the Golem and healed 10 million hp at once. Because of no Cooldown, he used it twice in a row and healed the Golem back to full health, although it was once again attacked by Leon with a fireball.

"-23,037,562"

It was only after then; Wil's face became serious and went into a quick analysis mode, "looks that that fireball attack has 1 to 2 seconds Cooldown or maybe, no Cooldown. Coming to the stats, since it was mutated, that means all of its stats will be increased by 50%, just not hp. 

If that's the case, with my low crt rate, it's impossible to hit critical damage. But then again, it's a demon, right now. So, my damage will be 50% more. Hmm, the required mana is…"

Wil raised his hands towards the winged lion that seemed to be focus on Golem and mumbled, "Heavenly push..."

Meanwhile, Leon quickly changed its target after realizing the magic energy getting absorbed into Wil at a rapid rate that even it cannot calculate.

Its wings glowed and straightened like metal as it dashed towards Wil but before it even dashed one meter, Wil finished with, "240 mana."

"525,756,253"

Instantly, Leon's health was completely downed to 32% as it crashed on to the ground 100 meters away while Wil cursed out, "F*** I miscalculated. Looks like it also has a f*****g 50% decrease damage buff that canceled my 50% increase damage advantage over the demon race.

There's still 250 million of health and I can only use it again after 8 minutes, which is a bit too long to drag this battle. Let's just… freeze it."

Meanwhile, the winged lion stood up again and shook its head; it focused its attention onto Wil. As it spread its wings and dashed towards him, Wil stood at the same place and is ready to use 'Absolute Freeze' and trap it in Ice.

The distance between them decreased to 90m… 70m… 50m… Suddenly, he saw it roared once again, although this time, it was a lot powerful than before.

*Roarrrr*

Listening to it, the Golem suddenly kneeled and Wil received a notification. 

*Ding. Golem is affected by the Roar of the King. All skills will be locked for 30 minutes.

*Ding. You are affected by Roar of the King. All of your skills will be locked for 30 minutes.

"What…" Wil stepped back in a shock and saw not only all of his skills locked, even the buff from the golem disappeared as if it never existed.

30m… 20m… 10m…

The distance between them decreased further as Leon continued to dash towards him after spewing out a fireball.

"I summon, Felix," roared Wil.

Having no other choice, Wil summoned Felix on the spot.

*wow*

As Felix barked in happiness that it got summoned to the material world again, Wil shouted, "Be careful. Incoming atta…"

"-13,589,122"

The Fireball hit it right on its face before Wil finished its sentence and Felix turned its head towards Leon that almost about to bite its neck.

Instantly, the claws erupted from its toes and it jumped towards Leon and scratched its face while landing on the ground safely.

"5,500,718"

Meanwhile, Wil, who jumped to the side to dodge the attack, stared at Felix in a surprise, "that was a perfect counterattack. Is it really who wasn't even able to land a single hit on the Emberstone golem, just a while ago? Or it's just a fluke?"

Unfortunately, the happiness was short-lived as Wil received two notifications.

*Ding. Leon lost its left eye. Its pride is hurt deeply and going to mutate.

"Eh? Second mutation?"
