Chapter 1609 Fortuitous Encounter



After the Divine Essence of Nature removed Fangorn's negative status of [Fear], the cowardly nature he was displaying earlier disappeared without a trace.

Soon, Fangorn's true nature of taking risks had returned and without hesitation, he said that they should stay back in World No. 1021.

"Haha…this is the Fangorn I know."

Seeing Fangorn become his normal self, Draco and others heaved a sigh of relief.

"So, is everyone ready for the fight?"

Ajax looked into the distance and asked with a slight smile on his face.

"Yes."

Draco and others nodded their heads as they used something to heal their injuries and stamina from the earlier.

Judging from the speed and the distance, it would take around five minutes for the Darkfire Wraiths to reach them. Therefore, they used that time to recover from their injuries.

"Let's collect as many Darkfire Crystals as possible and buy special legend-grade weapons after returning."

At the same time, Draco, as the leader of the squad tried to motivate his squad members for the fight.

With 10 Darkfire Crystals, whether they were low-level or mid-level or high-level, they could enter the Fire Chamber to undergo boody tempering by the Sentient Flame depending on the quality of the Darkfire Crystals.

If they could collect more Darkfire Crystals, they could sell the crystals to the Fire Chamber in exchange for weapons, pills or cultivation resources. So, Draco used that concept to increase the fire spirit of his squad members.

"Special Weapons? Excellent."

The two humanoid Wyvern brothers were the most excited ones because their attack power increased by a lot with the weapons.

Even though the weapons were relatively cheap in the Dragon Region compared to the Human Region, the Legend Grade Weapons were still costly for the newly ascended Emperor Realm Cultivators like Draco and others.

"What weapons do you guys use?"

When Ajax heard Draco's words, he thought of something and asked Draco and others.

"I am a swordsman and Fangorn uses short swords along with a dagger."

Draco replied to Ajax with a slight smile and continued, "As for them, they use huge battle axes."

"Even though our battle strength increases with weapons, they will be corroded in this world due to the evil energy in this world."

As though Draco thought of something, he informed Ajax, "That's the reason why we don't use weapons in this world. For us, weapons are very precious and we don't want to damage them."

"So, you have a reason for not using the weapons."

Finally, Ajax understood the reason why they were not using the weapons.

The reason why Ajax asked them about weapons was because he was curious about why they were not used and assumed that since they were treating this exploration as training, they don't want to rely on external strength.

However, his assumption was wrong as they were not using their weapons in order not to destroy them.

"How long does a weapon last in this world?"

Suddenly, he thought of something and asked Draco about it.

"If you use a low-level legend-grade weapon, it will last for at least one day before turning into dust whereas a mid-level legend-grade weapon would last for one whole month."

Since it was Ajax's first time entering the Dark Region, they knew he didn't have much knowledge about these things.I think you should take a look at

Hence, they were not annoyed with it and explained patiently.

"Since we only have low-level legend-grade weapons, we don't want to use them unless it is absolutely necessary."

"It looks like we can use them now and as long as we could collect ten low-level Darkfire Wraiths each, we could recover the cost for a new low-level legend-grade weapon."

"We want to collect 100 or even 1000 low-level Darkfire Crystals to buy mid-level or high-level legend-grade weapons."

"And if we could take care of all those Darkfire Wraiths, we could buy special legend-grade weapons ranging from 1500 - 5000 low-level Darkfire Crystals."

Draco, Fangorn, Wynd and Fyre everyone was excited from thinking about it; however, they knew that they still needed to kill those Darkfire Wraiths to achieve that feat.

Draco and others had already decided to use their weapons once they decided to stay back after learning that Ajax could take care of the High-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith.

Even though it was dangerous, it was also an opportunity for them to become powerful and rich.

With 10 mid-level Darkfire Crystals, they could undergo body tempering with the Stormfire in the mid-section of the Fire Chamber which makes their bloodline purer and stronger which in turn increases their cultivation speed and body strength.

By using the low-level Darkfire Crystals, they could exchange for the Special Legend Grade Weapons and other cultivation resources.

And having Ajax who could take care of a high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith in their current situation makes their dangerous situation into a fortuitous encounter.

….

Time continued to pass and the army of the Darkfire Wraiths were closing in on them.

"I think it's enough to recover. Let's fight."

Even though they were not recovered to the peak state, Draco felt it was enough as they don't have much time.

"Let's fight!"

Soon, Fangorn and the two humanoid Wyvern brothers also stood up and stretched their bodies a little.

'Brother Ajax, l will try my best not to activate the Return Token. If you sense they are in danger, please help them like before.'

As the leader of the squad, Draco didn't want anyone from his squad to die.

Hence, he silently requested Ajax's help to protect Fangorn and others from danger.

As for himself, Draco was not worried too much about it as he had his own secret trump cards to protect his life in danger and it was the same for Fangrom and the humanoid Wyvern brothers.

However, if things like earlier where Fangorn didn't have time to use them or he was so scared that he forgot to use them.

In that case, Draco really needed Ajax's help and asked for it.

'Sure.'

Ajax nodded his head and said to everyone, "You guys stay here and kill the Darkfire Wraiths I missed."

[Celestial Void Step]

As soon as he finished his words, Ajax disappeared from his place.
