CHAPTER 121: CHAPTER 121, DUET, GOLD LEVEL EQUIPMENT_1

Demon King Elliot turned back to look at the palace.

Flustered and enraged, he cursed, Damn it, what Phantom Class is this person?

"Demon King Elliot, where are you going? Why leave without saying a word? Isn’t that a bit disrespectful?"

A dark shadow appeared in front of Demon King Elliot.

Upon hearing this, Demon King Elliot’s expression changed dramatically. Damn it, how did this person get here? Could he also use Teleport? That’s a Skill of the Magician class.

Demon King Elliot himself was a Mage, specifically a Dark Summoner. His greatest offensive power lay in his Summoned Beings. He possessed few truly formidable Magic spells of his own.

Once warriors got close, he found it very difficult to withstand their attacks.

Seeing Jiang Chen’s faint smile, he asked in confusion, "What class are you?"

"Swordsman."

"Swordsman? I’ve never heard of such a class. How about becoming my subordinate and joining our side? You’ll grow even stronger."

Jiang Chen was completely unfazed by Demon King Elliot’s temptation.

Join the dark side? That’s nonsense!

At least in Jiang Chen’s view, Demon King Elliot wasn’t that strong; he relied solely on his Summoned Beings.

Without saying another word, Jiang Chen’s Sword Qi surged forward to strike.

WHOOSH.

Demon King Elliot used Teleport again, disappearing in an instant. The moment Demon King Elliot vanished, Jiang Chen also disappeared, following closely behind.

Demon King Elliot, looking at the figure ahead, was in disbelief.

How is he here again?

Demon King Elliot’s face darkened. "Do you really think it’s that easy to take my heart?"

Jiang Chen’s Sword Qi struck swiftly, fiercely attacking Demon King Elliot, as countless streams of Sword Qi pierced the Demon King’s body.

Yet Demon King Elliot remained smiling.

Demon King Elliot laughed heartily. "Do you really think it’s that simple to kill me? Do you think the Demon King only has Summoned Beings?"

"I am an invincible being."

With a thought, Jiang Chen attacked, sending Three Hundred Sword Auras through Demon King Elliot’s body. Demon King Elliot still stood before Jiang Chen, completely unharmed.

What’s going on? Something isn’t right. Why can’t the Sword Qi damage Demon King Elliot?

No. If Demon King Elliot were truly an invincible existence, why would he flee? He could have boldly killed them all; there was no need to run. Fleeing implied only one thing: he was afraid.

This must be some invincibility Skill. Once it ended, the Sword Qi would be able to hit. Invincibility Skills should have a time limit. Once that time passed, Demon King Elliot would undoubtedly die.

With this in mind, Jiang Chen continued his assault.

"Kid, I told you it’s useless. Stop wasting your effort," Demon King Elliot said.

"No, you’re afraid. I can feel your heartbeat accelerating. This must be due to some item you possess that grants you immunity to attacks for a few seconds."

"Once the Skill’s effect wears off, your invincibility will end, and then you will surely die."

"Indeed, your heartbeat is accelerating. It’s clear my guess is right."

"Demon King Elliot, you can’t escape."

Demon King Elliot appeared calm on the surface, but inwardly he was panicking.

It wasn’t an item, but a Skill.

...

Black Phoenix looked down at the Titan Warrior on the ground, its body covered in countless wounds.

She was utterly baffled. What happened? Why did the perfectly fine Titan Warrior suddenly have wounds? These wounds are clearly fresh. Could this be a Skill? Damage Transfer.

An idea struck Black Phoenix. She brandished her twin swords, hacking wildly at the Titan Warrior on the ground.

Ruo Li was puzzled and asked, "Black Phoenix, what are you doing?"

"Demon King Elliot is a Dark Summoner. They have a Skill called Damage Transfer, which allows them to transfer the damage they receive to their Summoned Beings."

"Evidently, Demon King Elliot has transferred the damage to the Titan Warrior. The wounds that had suddenly appeared just moments ago were the result of Jiang Chen’s attacks."

Black Phoenix hacked away at the Titan Warrior in a frenzy.

Having lost a leg, the Titan Warrior could only lie on the ground, defenseless against Black Phoenix’s attacks.

Demon King Elliot looked towards the palace, his face turning ashen.

Damn it. They discovered my secret!

Just then, Jiang Chen launched several Sword Qi Attacks at Demon King Elliot, and a gush of black blood spewed from the Demon King’s mouth.

Jiang Chen smiled. "Invincibility time is up."

WHOOSH.

A stream of Sword Qi pierced Demon King Elliot’s throat, and he fell to the ground, dead.

Two glowing objects appeared on the ground: a Magic Wand and a Robe.

Jiang Chen laughed. Two pieces of Gold Level Equipment! This boss was a real jackpot. I’ve struck it rich! The only pity was that they were Magician’s equipment, not a Swordsman’s.

Huh... What’s this? A book?

Jiang Chen picked it up and looked at the book.

When Jiang Chen held it, no system prompts appeared.

What could this be? If it were a Skill Book, there would be a prompt indicating if I could learn it. No prompt means it’s not a Skill Book.

Four characters were written on it: [The Art of Body Protection].

Hmm... What is this thing?

Jiang Chen flipped it open. It was densely packed with characters he didn’t recognize—all sorts of strange symbols, like garbled code.

Demon King Elliot kept this book, so it must be something valuable. I’ll store it in my inventory for now.

Black Phoenix and the other two approached and looked at the corpse of Demon King Elliot.

Without hesitation, Black Phoenix cut open Demon King Elliot’s chest, took out his heart, carefully placed it in a wooden box, and then stored it in her inventory.

The First-stage Assignment was finally complete.

Ruo Li asked, "Jiang Chen, did any equipment drop?"

"Nope."

"Who are you kidding? That was Demon King Elliot! There must be some equipment. Take it out and let’s see. It’s not like I’m going to take it from you."

"Really, nothing."

"Stingy."

Black Phoenix stood up and said, "Thank you, Jiang Chen. My First-stage Assignment is complete. I owe you a favor. If you ever need anything, I’ll be ready to repay you."

"It was a small thing."

"Without you, I wouldn’t have completed my First-stage Assignment so easily."

Ruo Li said, "Jiang Chen, when it’s my turn for the First-stage Assignment, I’ll need your help too. You can’t refuse me."

Jiang Chen smiled. "Alright. Just call me when it’s your turn for the First-stage Assignment."

"It’s a deal then."

"Let’s go. It’s time to head back."

「Inside the tavern.」

The four of them sat together and chatted. Jiang Chen was eager to know more about The Fallen.
