Chapter 94 -96 Battle Between the Giant and the Beast_1
[You have possessed the ‘Earth Giant’s Shell.’]
[You have taken control of this unfamiliar shell, the memories within the shell have disintegrated with the soul.]
Lin Xun urgently opens the shell panel, feeling somewhat hopeful for the Earth Giant’s shell.
[Shell – Earth Giant]
[True Name: Unknown]
[Affinity: 141% (+45%) Exceeding the critical point, the quality of the shell is improved!]
[Shell Quality: Ordinary+ Level]
[Shell Level: 1]
[Shell Equipment: None]
[Shell Skill: Blessing of Mother Earth (Epic+ Level): As the favored child of Mother Earth, as long as your body touches the ground, you will receive the great blessing power, significantly enhancing the shell’s strength and defense power. Furthermore, all intricate terrains will pose no hindrance to you, even if you are atop quicksand, you can tread as if on flat ground.]
Looking at the attributes in the shell panel, Lin Xun falls into a prolonged silence.
The Giant Beast chieftain really drained this shell to the last bit.
The shell quality is at an ordinary level, and it only gets promoted to ordinary+ level with an affinity over a hundred.
The shell level is only level one, he knows that the Earth Giant’s quality and level must be more than this, it’s probably due to being completely drained.
The only thing worthy of praise is the Earth Giant’s skill, achieving a staggering epic+ level.
Inferred from this, the Earth Giant’s initial shell quality is at least an epic level, perhaps even a legendary level.
“It’s too weak, it needs to be enhanced.”
Lin Xun opens up the item bar, clicking on ‘Essence of the Giant’s Bloodline’ without hesitation.
The purpose of this item is to enhance the quality of a giant’s shell.
[Do you wish to use ‘Essence of the Giant’s Bloodline’ on the ‘Earth Giant’s’ shell?]
[You have used the ‘Essence of the Giant’s Bloodline’…]
[The bloodline of the Earth Giant reverts to self, the power of the bloodline is gradually awakened!]
[You clench your fists tightly, let out a low growl, the bloodline power within the shell starts to revive, your body continually expands and heightens…]
[The quality of the ‘Earth Giant’s’ shell has increased to Excellent Level!]
[The quality of the ‘Earth Giant’s’ shell has increased to Excellent+ Level!]
[The quality of the ‘Earth Giant’s’ shell has increased to Rare Level!]
[Like a small hill, you step out of the crystal coffin…]
[As your feet touch the ground, you receive the ‘Blessing of Mother Earth’, your body is again augmented, your figure embodies endless power!]
[You can’t help but let out a heaven-shaking roar!]
Lin Xun opens the shell panel to look, the shell quality has been upgraded to the rare level, but minus the additional bonus from affinity, it’s actually only at the Excellent+ Level.
He frowns, such an upgrade can be considered as leaps and bounds for ordinary shells. But for the Earth Giant that is originally at epic or legendary level, it’s still too weak.
“According to the unwritten rule of the game that the bigger the risk, the bigger the reward, the quality of the Earth Giant’s shell should be far more than this.”
“Which means, there might be a way to enhance the shell quality!”
Lin Xun instantly thinks of the Giant Beast chieftain.
The blood mist around the Airchaeftain BOSS might have been brought by consuming the giant’s bloodline. If he eliminates this chieftain BOSS, perhaps he will burst open an item that can enhance the Earth Giant’s bloodline.
Based on Lin Xun’s understanding of the game, the probability of dropping such an item is not 100%, but at least 80% or 90%.
But, how should he eliminate the Giant Beast chieftain?
The remaining shells are far from being a match for the chieftain BOSS.
The Earth Giant might be able to put up a fight upon using the ‘Giant Beast Pill’, but the level of the Earth Giant is only level one, sending it up might be equivalent to sending it to its death.
His eyes fall on another item in the item bar, and his eyes lighten up.
[‘Profane Life Fruit’ (Epic Level Item):…After using this item, the profane power will deeply invade the shell, not only enhancing the shell’s level (the lower the shell level, the more it gets enhanced) but also allows the shell to recall its true name. This item can only be used on shells of epic level or lower.]
Using this item not only allows the level of Earth Giant’s shell to increase, it also unlocks the true name, hitting two birds with one stone.
Just in case, Lin Xun searches the tomb again, and after confirming that there are no true name items of the giant here, he resolutely clicks to use it.
[Do you wish to use the ‘Profane’s Life Fruit’ on the ‘Earth Giant’s’ shell?]
[You have used ‘Profane’s Life Fruit’, the profane power within the fruit invades the shell…]
[Your eyes gradually gain a deep red color, the ‘Earth Giant’ transforms into the ‘Fallen Earth Giant’.]
[The level of the ‘Fallen Earth Giant’s’ shell has increased to level 20!]
[You have unlocked the true name of the ‘Fallen Earth Giant’ – ‘Morton’!]
[You can manifest this shell in reality!]
jumping straight from level one to level twenty can be regarded as a direct leap.
But to go against the Giant Beast chieftain BOSS, it’s still far from enough.
Lin Xun can only place his hopes on the last Giant Beast Pill, hoping that after using this tool, it can enhance the strength of the Earth Giant, thereby defeating the Giant Beast chieftain.
He exits the tomb, preparing for a deathmatch with the primary BOSS.
As soon as he exits the tomb entrance, unexpected text pops up.
[You are being watched by an unknown existence, your connection with the ‘Profane Blood Sun’ deepens!]
[Your body mutates into twisted organs, comprehending a new skill – Bloody Pine Cone.]
[Bloody Pine Cone (Epic+ Level): The gift borne from surrendering to the Profane Blood Sun. Under the Blood Sun’s glow, devout followers gain a temporary level +10 boost.]
Lin Xun stared wide-eyed, completely taken aback by the unexpected assist he received from the ‘Profane Blood Sun’.
Could this be the added benefit of allowing his Shell to be tainted by the Blood Sun?
After briefly pondering, he remembered how he had previously used the Shell of a Blood Sun follower. Upon touching the Blood Sun sculpture, he also gained this skill. At that time, the Bloody Pine Cone was Excellent Level, and the temporary level boost was five levels.
It seemed that the Earth Giant’s fall greatly delighted the Profane Blood Sun, rewarding him with an Epic+ skill without a second thought.
However, Lin Xun also had another suspicion. Could it be that the ‘Profane Blood Sun’ had been keeping an eye on him, favoring him and trying to poach him from the enemy camp by granting him a powerful skill?
Lin Xun quashed the thoughts sprouting in his mind and opened the Shell panel.
[Shell – ‘Fallen Earth Giant’]
[True Name: Morton]
[Compatibility: 141% (+45%) Surpassed critical compatibility point, Shell quality improved!]
[Shell Quality: Rare Level]
[Shell Level: 30 (+10↑)]
[Shell Equipment: None]
[Shell Skill: Blessing of Mother Earth (Epic+ Level)…]
[Shell Skill: Bloody Pine Cone (Epic+ Level)…]
Seeing every other attribute completely filled, except for Shell Equipment, Lin Xun casually slotted the ‘Thunder Dragon Staff Spear’ into the Giant’s equipment column.
[As a colossal being, holding a weapon that is the size of a toothpick…]
[You have become weaker!]
Lin Xun twitched the corner of his mouth, speechless.
Imagining the scene of an Earth Giant sized as a small mountain, holding a needle-sized weapon and fighting an enemy was indeed somewhat discordant.
He replaced the needle-sized weapon with ‘The Giant Beast Chieftain’s Scepter’.
[You have equipped ‘The Giant Beast Chieftain’s Scepter’.]
[You have become stronger!]
Upon returning to the fork in the path at the giant log gate, he found that the Giant Beast Chieftain was not there.
[The ‘Fallen Giant Beast Chieftain’ who was initially searching for you here has vanished. Judging from the large footprint left on the ground, you deduce it has returned to the ‘Chieftain’s Palace’.]
[Do you wish to proceed to the ‘Giant Beast Chieftain’s Palace’?]
Lin Xun, ready to use the ‘Giant Beast Pills’ at any moment, clicked ‘Yes’.
[You begin your journey towards the path ahead and soon come across an awe-inspiring palace.]
[You take a step onto the high stone steps, arriving at the palace entrance…]
[The palace doors are wide open, a massive figure can be seen deep inside, nestled on the throne, seemingly in slumber.]
[Do you wish to enter the ‘Giant Beast Chieftain’s Palace’?]
Lin Xun sneered, only a fool would go in.
After entering, he would no longer be illuminated by the Blood Sun, and his temporary level +10 boost would also vanish.
He opened his Shell roster and clicked on the Yellow Bishop.
[You have possessed the Shell of the ‘Fallen Bishop of the White Moon Church’.]
[You raise the ‘Thunder Dragon Staff Spear’, muttering the incantation…]
[A flash of red light…]
[A deafening roar of rage echoes from the depths of the hall!]
Now is the time! 𝔫𝖔𝔳𝔭𝔲𝔟.𝖈𝔬𝔪
Lin Xun quickly switches back to the Giant Shell, opens his item list, and uses the ‘Giant Beast Pill’.
[You have used the Giant Beast Pill!]
[The miraculous power of the pill spreads throughout your Shell. The ‘Fallen Earth Giant’s’ eyes turn blood red, veins bulging from his body, and muscles erupting across his physique.]
[The ‘Fallen Earth Giant’ grows even larger, and your view rises proportionally…]
[In an instant, you have become almost twenty meters tall, resembling a mountain.]
[Power surges within your Shell as you roar involuntarily. While far from your peak, you possess some of your former grandeur.]
[In response to your roar, the ‘Fallen Giant Beast Chieftain’ emerges. The ground shakes as its eyes glow red; it bolts out of the palace doors and charges at you…]
[You grasp ‘The Giant Beast Chieftain’s Scepter’ in your hand, preparing to fight to the death…]
[With a loud thump, the ‘Fallen Giant Beast Chieftain’ falls to his knees, sliding on the ground before you and leaving two deep trenches in between the flying debris.]
[It crawls on the ground, repeatedly kowtowing, even going so far to hold and kiss your enormous foot.]
[Oh noble-blooded Apostle, how will you proceed?]
Lin Xun is dumbstruck. What kind of plot twist is this?
Seeing the phrase ‘noble-blooded’, he snaps out of his shock.
In the Blood Sun world, it seems that superior bloodlines can greatly overpower their descendants.
Like the ‘Giant Dragon Orb’ he previously obtained; it managed to subdue a powerful Subspecies Sea Dragon boss, making it only able to take hits without retaliating.
And the awakened Earth Giant’s bloodline forced the Giant Beast Chieftain into becoming a sycophant.
Though all his deductions seemed reasonable, he couldn’t shake off the feeling that something was off.
