Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 228: Banned
The newly introduced ten-level holy pet setting actually benefits those neutral professional players the most, allowing the top masters among them to compete with the top powerhouses of the dark and light professions who can summon ten-level undead minions and eight-winged holy angels. Although the newly released announcement does not make clear restrictions, it stipulates that dark and light professional players must sign a "pet contract" with a magic beast that matches their own attributes in order to exert their full strength. If they subdue a magic beast of other attributes, they can only exert two-thirds of the magic pet's strength at most, which indirectly makes dark and light professional players dare not subdue magic beasts with incompatible attributes as pets. Unlike those neutral professions, who can choose magic beasts of any attribute except dark and light as pets, even those magicians can subdue magic beasts of the same attribute to enhance the attack ability of the main attribute, and can also subdue magic beasts of other attributes to have an additional attribute attack, so as to avoid encountering professions that are incompatible and being completely powerless to fight back. "Tianxia" has set up sixteen kinds of holy beasts with eight attributes, two each of which are dark and light attributes. It is either this or that, and there is almost no room for choice. The remaining twelve kinds of holy beasts are all available for free selection by neutral professional players. Some can fly, some are good at running, some are strong in magic, and some are strong in body. According to the characteristics of the profession and their respective preferences, they have great substitutability and there is no need to stick to one tree. In comparison, it will be easier to obtain a united tenth-level holy magic pet .
The two major professions of light are better. The two holy beasts of light are the ground-walking white tiger and the flying holy dragon of light. They are very suitable as mounts for the Knight of Light or the protective pets of the priest of light. The two major dark professions are more disadvantaged, and there is less room for choice. The humanoid demon cannot be the mount of the magic knight. The bloodthirsty devil emperor can transform into two forms and has the ability to fight on land and in the air. It is suitable as the mount of the magic knight, but it is not refined. The ability of land and air combat is definitely weaker than that of the white tiger and the holy dragon of light. Although we, the necromancers, have an opportunity to find suitable undead creatures in the "dead space" to subdue them as pets, it seems cheap, but in fact, the breeding and hatching of undead creatures are too irregular compared to the magic beasts in the human world. Unless you are very lucky, it often takes more time and effort, and it is more difficult to obtain undead pets. Especially those level 10 undead, the number itself is very rare, not to mention their breeding and hatching. To find a suitable one to be subdued as a level 10 pet, not only does it require strong strength and backing, but it also requires super good luck. Therefore, most of the undead wizards may not have the opportunity to sign a "pet contract" with the level 10 undead in the "dead space". They still have to choose the dark magic beasts in the human world as the pets of the ninth-level profession. They are relatively easy to obtain, but they cannot be brought into the "dead space", which means that they have lost a great help. The growth rate will naturally be slower , which has an impact on the development of our undead wizards. For the ultimate battle between light and darkness, the light camp can be said to be doing its best to suppress the dark camp. There is no absolute fairness in the world. The dominant power of game design is now in the hands of several large companies in Western developed countries. It is good enough for the disadvantaged party to strive for a rough balance.
Fortunately, I don't have any worries about this. I have already subdued the lower-level 10th-level Letediva and got involved with the Hell Dragon clan. According to the relevant information learned from it, the Hell Dragon will transform into an egg when it successfully challenges and advances to a higher level, which is equivalent to an evolution. As long as I can overthrow Hades' rule, control the "Hell Volcano" and the Hell Dragon clan, and gain the power to freely enter and exit the deep space of the "Hell Magma Pool", I can subdue and help a level 10 middle-level Hell Dragon challenge a level 10 upper-level Hell Dragon. After the success, I will sign a "pet contract" while it evolves. At least one level 10 upper-level Hell Dragon pet is guaranteed. Although the strength will be slightly weaker than the same-level magic beasts after being summoned to the human world, it is much safer than the level 10 holy magic pet that cannot fully control the level, and the growth rate will be faster.
Of course, whether it is for me or other professional players, signing a new level 10 pet is only a dream at this stage, and it is not possible for the time being. On the one hand, it is not so easy to obtain level 10 monster eggs or holy beast eggs. Time, place, people and luck are all indispensable. It is not like killing monsters and treasures, where you can just choose one at random. It takes a while for the magic eggs to hatch. More importantly, the announcement issued by the system is only equivalent to a development plan. Alchemists need to reach the corresponding level and complete specific tasks before they can master the method of strengthening the "level 9 pet scroll". In addition, they need a lot of relatively rare raw materials, which are not easy to gather. It is estimated that it may not be possible to successfully refine the "level 9 strengthening pet scroll" in at least two or three months. Therefore, even if you have been promoted to the ninth level profession, unless you are willing to subdue a level 9 monster as a pet, you still need to wait patiently for a while, and you still have to use the original level 7 pet for the time being.
I was the first to be promoted to the ninth level of the profession. I was excited, but I also attracted a lot of complaints from players. The chance of dropping items when challenging the holy beasts was immediately reduced, and the strength of those treasure hunting teams has not been enhanced for the time being. It is less likely to drop high-level holy artifacts or even artifact-level equipment than before. In fact, if I were not worried about the Supreme Honor and Fearless Warriors, who are also super strong players in "Tianxia", I would not necessarily adjust my development plan and rush to strive for promotion. It is said that professional players are arranged around them, as well as some players with backgrounds such as Long Xing Tianxia and Desert Eagle, to help them earn qualifications, so that they will not be affected in their own development when they take on leadership positions in their forces and need to be distracted by management. Although I killed a lot of bright players and had "extra money" to make, I was delayed for some time due to various circumstances. I may not be ahead of the Supreme Honor and Fearless Warriors , which should be the focus of support, so I have to grab this honor first. We, a few players with super strength or deep background, can be said to be the first echelon in "Tianxia" and are the fastest growing. The other top players were a little worse than him. Even Afeng, the newly promoted "No. 1 Knight in the World", would need at least two or three months to accumulate 100% of the seniority points and advance to the ninth level of the Paladin profession at a normal development speed. In the later stage of development, after more than three years, even if they were all top players, their different professions and different development focuses had already widened the gap in terms of efficiency and speed in earning seniority points.
There is no hope for the new pet for the time being. Even if I am lucky enough to find a level 10 undead that is evolving, I can't do anything about it. At least I have to wait until the alchemist develops the "level 9 enhanced pet scroll". The current development focus is to expand my power in the "Dead Soul Space". I participated in the siege of Almaidi before, and most of my white bone dragons were killed or wounded. The main battle corps is seriously insufficient, and the strength has been greatly affected. Now I have been promoted to the ninth level of the Undead Holy Mage profession, and it is just right to update the main battle corps. I began to go deep into the "Dragon Bone Mountain" and wantonly subdue the ninth-level upper-level black bone dragons. At the same time, I can also take the opportunity to practice the newly learned "puppetry" magic diligently. I feel that it can play an important role in many aspects, such as the "Underworld Dragon Challenge", the challenge between Khufu and Let'diva for a better "magma cave entrance", the promotion challenge within the Hell Dragon clan, Khufu's challenge to compete for the Pharaoh and defeat other great pharaohs, etc. I will use "puppetry" on the side to contain them, which should enable my subordinates to play a more effective role.
Gonzalez and other alien volcanic undeads who had been silent for a long time due to their lack of strength and inability to pass the "Dragon Challenge" and who had obtained the qualification to soak in the edge area of the "Hell Magma Pool" also saw hope again because of the "Puppetry". The first one to be pushed out was Had. The most special thing about the volcanic undead is that they can evolve to a higher form and level, which is something that the purebred giant magicians on the Lost Continent do not have. I have always hoped that Had can continue to evolve, preferably to become an upper-level eight-armed giant magician of level 10. The ultra-long-range "Torch Stone Bomb" is a sharp weapon for attack, and can play an important role in many cases. The one who went into battle was only a lower-level 10th-level Hell Dragon, and he dared not kill it. In addition, the "Sacrifice" magic shared 80% of the damage for Had. I can continue to use "Puppetry" to contain the Hell Dragon, delay its attack, and strive for time to make up for Had's "Sacrifice". It should be possible to delay it for six hours, so that it can enter the central area of the "Hell Magma Pool" to soak and accelerate its growth and evolution. As for the Flame Bone Demon Kekexili, who I also have high hopes for, it has taken a piece of "Ten Thousand Years Fire Crystal" and is about to evolve into the ultimate form of Flame Demon. At that time, it will automatically obtain the qualification to enter the deep space of the "Hell Magma Pool" where the Hell Dragon Clan lives to practice, and I don't need to take care of it too much.
In addition to the main focus on subduing the black bone dragon, we also strengthened the search for the tenth-level undead, but their number is small and they are proficient in various techniques of hiding. The superficial exploration of a group of undead subordinates alone is really not very effective. I need to take care of too many things. Unless I have a purpose and focus on searching a certain area, it is impossible for me to lead the team to wander aimlessly in the vast area of the Lost Continent. I can't do anything for the time being, so I can only deal with it this way. It's a pity that I have the ability to subdue the tenth-level undead, but I can't find a target to subdue. I can only focus on urging Wuji and another undead ghost phoenix to be more diligent and try my best to find the same kind; take the opportunity to subdue the black bone dragon in "Dragon Bone Mountain" to explore more mountains in the core area to see if there are tenth-level black dragon kings; at the same time, we must not relax the exploration of the area around the giant magician's holy land "Karamayi", hoping to subdue more giant magician populations, preferably encountering a few tenth-level eight-armed giant magicians. As for the Hell Dragon clan that lives in the "Hell Volcano", Light D'Ivoire itself is still a little weak. Even with my help, it may be able to defeat the Hell Dragon that is stronger than it by challenging for the right to use the "Magma Cave Entrance", but it is still a little beyond its ability to defeat it completely and sign a "Soul Contract". This can only succeed and not fail. It would be best to take a break for a while, and by the way, let me practice the "puppetry" magic to a higher level of proficiency, then the chances of success should be greater.
I have been busy taming the Black Bone Dragon for more than ten days. The process is boring. I repeat the pattern of siege, defeat, and taming over and over again. It is easy to tame it without any challenge. Soon I have gathered hundreds of Black Bone Dragon's followers. I feel a little tired, so I plan to go to the Western Continent to relax, kill a few light players to earn some merits, and quickly cultivate the level of "Gate of the Underworld" in case of emergency. At the same time, I can also test the effect of "Puppetry" in actual combat to see how much value it can play on players, their summoned pets, and the descending angels.
I was reluctant to summon the few level 10 undeads to delay their respective tasks, so I prepared to use the black bone dragon as the main force of the battle. It is said that even the highest honor has not yet been promoted to the ninth level of the Light Paladin. Against those light players who are still only level 8, my strength can be said to be even stronger. Riding Taotao, I crossed the "Gate of Time and Space" and entered the Western Continent. I kept running along the desolate land, preparing to start the killing operation after going deep inland. Mainly for my "Thousand Miles Riding Alone" action, almost all the light players are already familiar with it. As long as they see an undead wizard dare to summon undead subordinates openly wandering around the Western Continent, they don't need to approach to distinguish their appearance, and they can basically identify it as me. Gathering to hunt is just a waste of effort. It is difficult to successfully kill me. There is no money to be made. Few people will take the initiative to trouble me. I am also wise not to trouble such a large team with such a large scale and many people. The area near the "Gate of Time and Space" is where the players of the Light focus on guarding. Some of them log off when they see me, or there are too many people to take advantage of me with just two or three "Summon the Undead". Therefore, I have to go deep behind enemy lines, where there are more opportunities, and it can also make the Church of Light nervous, making it more difficult to guard against them.
I randomly chose a place and prepared to start the action openly. I used "Blood Transformation" and cast "Summoning the Undead" to summon seven black bone dragons at once, then activated "Touch of Death" to absorb the spiritual power of one of them, and started to attack openly, looking for those light players to prepare for the attack. Guerrilla warfare, killing one is a profit, which not only increases qualifications and merits, but also increases merits, which is much better than simply killing monsters. A small group of more than a dozen passing players nearby became my attack targets, and I was able to experience my strength after being promoted to the ninth level of the Undead Holy Mage. Among them are not only light players, but also several neutral professions. Usually I will attack the light players first. Once the neutral professional players take the initiative to declare war on me, I don't need to be polite anymore, I will attack with all my strength and kill them all.
The operation went smoothly. It was probably because I hadn't come to harass them for more than ten days, so those Light players had let down their guard. I summoned three batches of twenty-one black bone dragons to attack two teams, killing a total of more than a dozen level eight players. The rest escaped and went offline. They were too cunning and refused to fight me. They sent a few death squad members to rush forward and fight with me, covering other teammates to go offline to avoid being killed too many times by me, so that the benefits obtained from each operation could not satisfy me. If it weren't for earning some merits and maintaining and expanding my "brand effect", the qualifications I got would really not be as good as simply killing monsters.
Seeing that there were no more players nearby, he was about to lead his black bone dragon to move to other areas when he suddenly noticed a dazzling golden light hundreds of meters away, covering an area of ten meters in radius. After a while, the golden light dimmed, and ten people appeared out of thin air. No, to be more precise, it should be ten NPCs, ten bright NPCs.
I couldn't help but take a breath. Judging from their attire, there should be a level 10 cardinal and a level 10 Knight of Light. In addition, each of them has two cardinals and two Knights of Light as followers. It's really a big show. No need to ask, they must be coming for me. They can suddenly appear beside me, they must have used a divine artifact with long-distance fixed-point teleportation function. At the moment they appeared, the nearest black bone dragon seemed to see the cardinal put away a prop that looked like a globe flashing with colorful divine light. Thinking of the information provided by the insider, the one who came should be the cardinal Sampras who holds the light artifact "fixed-point teleporter". No longer assigning those level 8 patrols to arrest me, and suddenly giving me such a high treatment, is it because I have been promoted to the ninth level profession and can already alarm the tenth level NPC to deal with me?
"I am Cardinal Sampras of the Church of Light, and the one next to me is Knight Hanover of Light. You are covered in blood, black and purple, and you have probably killed thousands of people. I think you must be the undead wizard Ah Dai, who is known as the 'Devil King Dai'. You have invaded the sphere of influence of our Church of Light many times before, and killed and maimed our followers of Light. You are extremely evil, but you are confident of your strength and have never thought of repenting. Now you have been promoted to the ninth level of the Undead Holy Mage profession. According to the relevant rules, we can punish you. From today on, as long as you dare to enter the territory of the Western Continent and harm our followers of Light, you will be hunted down by us. We will never allow you to act recklessly and rampantly in the Western Continent as you did before."
