Chapter 83: Chapter 83: Contacting Toby, Acquiring Another Artifact



John possessed the spatial awareness talent, but his current strength was too weak to break through stable spatial barriers. He could only shatter weak points in the fabric of space.

If the Secret Area where Toby planned to build the city was a stable one, John wouldn't be able to break through it.

Especially since he didn't even know the Secret Area's exact location.

Then he remembered the world announcement Toby had made three days ago.

The Mike White Family had publicly extended an invitation to him-perhaps this could be his way in.

Acting on his idea, John opened his friend list and sent a friend request to Toby.

Almost immediately, his request was accepted, and a private message followed. Toby: "Godslayer?!"

John glanced at Toby's message. The guy was clearly shocked as well.

He replied briefly.

Godslayer: "I'm interested in your offer. Maybe we should talk."

In Green Moon.

Toby's excitement was palpable when he saw John's message. But then his expression darkened, and a sly smile crept across his face.

The bait he had thrown out two days ago had finally caught its prey.

As for why John had waited two days to respond, Toby didn't think too much of it-perhaps John hadn't been online or had just made up his mind.

He quickly replied.

Toby: "Green Moon, face-to-face."

He closed the chat, feeling a wave of relief.

"So, Godslayer, I thought you were stronger than this. In the end, you're just another ordinary person!" Toby sneered, his expression brimming with confidence.

"Someone, come!" he called out toward the door.Fiind updated novels at novelhall.com

A subordinate hurried in, bowing respectfully. "My lord, what are your orders?"

Toby replied calmly, "Inform the Green Moon city lord that the city-building plans are temporarily postponed. Follow the previous plan and wait for my instructions."

The subordinate looked at Toby with some confusion but didn't dare ask any questions. He simply nodded, bowed again, and left the room.

The room fell silent once more.

Toby felt an overwhelming sense of satisfaction, the stress of the past few days melting away.

He leaned back on the sofa, crossed his legs, and swirled the unknown liquid in his glass, muttering to himself, "Godslayer, the Elemental Secret Area will be your grave."

He downed the liquid in one gulp.

...

Back in the Dark Forest, John used the path through the Beast Clan's Secret Area to re-enter it.

Boom...

Loud explosions and the sound of curses and fighting echoed through the area.

"Bastard, leave the Dragon Fang behind!" It was the voice of Ice Phoenix.

John didn't know what was happening, but he quickly headed toward the sounds of battle.

Ahead, snow and flames filled the air, creating a scene of fire and ice.

Clashing in a chaotic display.

Ice Phoenix and Fire Phoenix, two powerful mythical beasts, were teaming up to attack a massive dragon.

The dragon was covered in purple scales, with two horns on its head and wings on its back, exuding an immense aura of power.

"Avis?" John looked at the purple dragon in disbelief.

Avis had undergone a complete transformation. Gone was the lizard-like form of a Western dragon; now, Avis resembled an Eastern dragon with wings on its back.

"Master, help!" Avis, noticing John, called out in desperation. Under the combined assault of Ice Phoenix and Fire Phoenix, he was completely overpowered and frantically sought John's help.

"Stop!" John hurriedly commanded Ice Phoenix and Fire Phoenix to cease their attack, then asked angrily, "Why are you attacking Avis?"

Ice Phoenix and Fire Phoenix halted their assault, and Avis quickly took the opportunity to hide behind John's massive frame, breathing a sigh of relief.

Although he had successfully evolved to a legendary grade, his strength was only at the fourth tier, making him no match for Ice Phoenix and Fire Phoenix.

"Hmph!" Fire Phoenix snorted, flames dancing around her as she struggled to contain her anger, refusing to even look at John.

Ice Phoenix, with a cold expression, pointed at Avis and angrily said, "You'd better control your pet! This guy stole our Dragon Fang."

Dragon Fang? A dragon's tooth?

John was puzzled.

John let out a sigh of relief, then patted Avis and asked curiously, "Avis, what kind of artifact

is it? Let me take a look." Avis opened his mouth and spat out a short dagger, which floated into John's hand.

The short dagger was pure white, curved, and about a meter in length-elegant yet menacing.

[Dragon Fang: Low-Grade Artifact]

[Requirements: Assassin class, Strength 1000+, Agility 500+]

[Physical Damage: +1000, Strength: +1000, Agility: +200, Spirit: +100]

[Additional Attributes: Critical Hit +10, Attack Speed +10, Luck +2]

[Special Effect: Bloodthirst; Absorbs 5% of the damage dealt by normal attacks and skills as

health, restoring your own HP.]

[Attached Skill: Dragon's Might]

[Dragon's Might: Auxiliary skill that boosts all stats by 20% and increases physical damage

by 50% for 10 minutes. Cooldown: 1 day. No resource cost.]

[Description: A powerful artifact forged from the Dragon Fang of a fallen Tenth-Tier Holy

Dragon, imbued with the dragon's overwhelming power.]

What a powerful weapon! John examined the dagger's stats, impressed by the three hidden attributes.

And the special attack effect it provided.

The Assassin class, which focuses on high attack and agility, typically suffers from low health

and defense, but the Bloodthirst effect would greatly enhance the survival capability of any Assassin wielding this weapon.

The Dragon's Might skill be also an excellent auxiliary ability.

However, since John already possessed the Sword of Divinity and Demons, the Dragon Fang felt a

bit redundant.

"I'll save this for Sini," he thought.

The dagger would be far more effective in Sini's hands, where it could truly shine. Artifacts that weren't equipped wouldn't appear on the rankings, so the weapon leaderboard

remained unchanged.

"Avis, you did well," John said as he stored the dagger away, patting Avis appreciatively.

"Hehe, Master, it was nothing," Avis replied happily, then added, "Master, the Beast Clan has plenty of treasures. If I hadn't accidentally revealed myself, I could've stolen their most valuable treasures."

The Beast Clan's most treasured artifact was said to be prepared for the prophesied savior, an

item rumored to hold immense power capable of helping its bearer ascend to godhood. John was intrigued and said, "We might get another chance in the future."

Avis nodded, his massive form streaking through the sky as he asked, "Master, are we heading

back to Flame City?" "No, we're going to Jade City," John decided. He wanted to see what Toby was planning.

Although Flame City was the closest, its teleportation array had been shut down.

Flame City's establishment had angered many, and Ritchie, concerned about potential disruptions from players and the Dark Humans, had ordered the city's teleportation array to be closed.

Only military personnel and members of the Blues Family were allowed into Flame City, with

all other players being strictly vetted.

John had recently destroyed Silverleaf City on the outskirts of the Dark Forest, so the nearest

city was Jade City, a Level 1 city.

With Avis having broken through to the legendary grade, his flight speed had more than

doubled.

It took them less than two hours to reach Jade City.

Jade City was bustling with activity, full of players and lively chatter.

Not wanting to cause a stir, John recalled Avis before entering the city.

As soon as he stepped into Jade City, he felt an overwhelming sense of hostility-not from the

players, but from the city guards.

It was clear that he was now on the Dark Humans' wanted list.

The guards in this Level 1 city were only Level 30, with second-tier strength.

John couldn't be bothered to deal with them and made his way directly to the teleportation

point, heading for Green Moon.
