Volume 5: Protracted War Chapter 103: Fighting Game (1)
Perhaps he noticed that I had been paying attention to his right hand glove, so Yigfil generously stretched it out and held it in front of me. "If I am not mistaken, you are the Ah Dai who got the artifact 'Touch of Death'. Lord Death's gloves are naturally a pair. You got the left hand glove, and I got the right hand glove, called 'Control of Death'. I have performed many great deeds, and Lord Death gave it to me."
As he spoke, Yigfeier couldn't help but stretch out his left hand and gently stroked the smooth "Death Control", obviously cherishing it very much. My heart immediately sank and felt cold - it's over, it seems there is no hope. Yigfeier cherishes "Death Control" so much, and it was given to him by the old man himself, so it is definitely impossible to transfer it. We are so close yet so far away, we have no chance to meet. It is obviously a pair of gloves, but we each wear one. Is this damn old man, or this damn system, worried that the power of the artifact gloves will be too great after they are put together, so he deliberately separated "Death Touch" and "Death Control"?
After a long sigh, he finally turned his gaze away from the "Death Control". Since it was no longer available, there was no point for me to linger on it any longer. After all, only a few players possessed the artifact until now. I already had one, and there was also a "Dead Scepter" that was sealed. Sooner or later, I would have to use it. In comparison, I was extremely lucky. "Tianxia" was not mine, and it was impossible for everything to go smoothly and all the good things to belong to me alone.
After calming down his somewhat lost mood, he tried his best to draw his attention back to the main matter of promotion. He straightened his expression and bowed respectfully to Yigfeier, "Respected Saint Mage Yigfeier, hello, I'm very happy to meet you. I am the magician A'dai, and this time I'm here to be promoted to the seventh-level magician profession." Respecting the elderly and loving the young are the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation. Etiquette cannot be abolished. I dare not neglect these "power holders" who are related to my future.
"Yes," Igfell nodded with a smile, "Very good, Ah Dai, I have often heard of your name. You are a rare talent among our necromancers, with outstanding achievements and remarkable feats. You are the backbone of the fight against the Church of Light. After you were promoted to the sixth-level profession and ranked first with the highest honor of the Knight of Light, you have become the first necromancer to be promoted this time. I hope you can keep up the good work and forge ahead bravely, and don't let us down."
"I will do my best to contribute my efforts to fight against the Church of Light." Faced with the praise and encouragement from the "leader", I naturally had to express my " feelings" as soon as possible, hoping that in order to "fight against the great cause of light", I would not be given too abnormal promotion tasks. "I wonder what tasks I need to complete to advance to the seventh level of the profession?"
Yigfell took out a task scroll, opened it and read it carefully for a while, then said: "Because you are the first of the two dark professions, and also the second player in the whole world to apply for promotion to the seventh-level profession, you are eligible to complete a special additional task. This is a random promotion task that is temporarily triggered by a certain condition set by the system. It is a bit difficult, but once you can complete it, you will get unexpected rewards..."
The first place in the dark profession was within my expectation, but the second place in the whole world was a little beyond my expectation . So, there was already a player who applied for promotion before me, and the most likely one was the highest honor. But since he had taken on the promotion task of the seventh-level profession, why didn't he rush to complete it, and kept chasing me and plotting against me? Could it be that the promotion task of him, the "world's number one expert", was to kill me, the "world's number one necromancer" of the enemy camp? Additional nature, meeting specific conditions, temporary triggering, randomness, the "special" words that Yigfeier uttered next made me tremble with fear, and I suddenly had an extremely bad premonition in my heart.
"So what is the content of this promotion mission..." The more I listened, the more scared I became. I couldn't help but interrupt Yigfil and asked directly.
Igfil stared at me without blinking, which made me feel uneasy. After a long while, he slowly said, "You must kill the Supreme Honor alone without the help of any other players."
As expected, my head suddenly exploded with a buzzing sound. He wanted to kill me, and I had to kill him. The duel was not because we were tied for the first place last time, and the system was jealous of us, so it set up such a "sinister" promotion task for the seventh-level professional promotion this time, so that we two could fight each other. Such a promotion task is too difficult. Players are not like NPCs. There are no rules to follow. Even if you can't win, you can escape. "The World" is so big that as long as one party wants to hide, it is impossible to find it. Even if we are arranged to fight each other, both aiming to kill the opponent, but once the situation is unfavorable, I believe no one will be stupid enough to fight to the death and accept defeat. At least if I am determined to escape, the Supreme Honor alone will definitely not be able to stop me, and it is clearly required that no external force should be used. It can be said that this is an impossible promotion task.
"Are there any additional requirements for the promotion mission?" After the initial shock, I regained some composure. Since the system has set up this mission that is likely to be a battle between me and Supreme Honor, even if it has increased the difficulty for us because of the previous simultaneous promotion incident, it cannot be without restrictions. If we are allowed to keep wasting time and energy without being able to determine the winner, wouldn't both of us suffer losses and we can only sit and watch other players surpass us one by one and advance ahead of us?
"Because the nature of this promotion task is quite special, it must meet many conditions to be triggered, so there are also many restrictions. First of all, the promotion task has a certain time limit and will not be carried out indefinitely. In fact, this is a task set to compete for the first person to be promoted to the seventh-level profession. In other words, this promotion task is only valid before the first seventh-level professional appears. If other players complete the promotion task before you and are promoted to the seventh-level profession, this task will automatically become invalid. Even if you have killed the Supreme Honor, it will no longer have any effect. The system will reassign you a promotion task, but it will be executed according to the normal promotion procedure, and there will be no extra gains like this task promised."
