121: Mythical-grade equipment - a little more

Boom!

All of Little Silly Crow's attributes were inherited.

Xu Le's spirit attribute reached 20,110 points.

Coming along with them were all of Little Silly Crow's skills.

The power flooding his body, even after many times, was still somewhat intoxicating.

Looking at Little Silly Crow nearby, under the sky-covering fire attacks, its health bar had less than 1/10th remaining.

Even with only five Magic Fire Puppets left, under the overwhelming area-of-effect skills, no other contracted beasts could hold out except for Nine Phoenix and the divine statue.

Xu Le recalled Little Silly Crow into the Contract Space.

He immediately cast the "Fear Nightmare" skill.

Magic Fire Puppets were merely puppets; they knew no fear, so their attributes couldn't be weakened.

Xu Le didn't mind and cast the "Lucky Curse" skill on the Puppet on the far right.

Black light flew over; sensing danger, that Magic Fire Puppet immediately cast Repelling Fire Ring.

Red firelight flashed, but the black light didn't stop, floating directly into its body, instantly stripping away its Advanced Luck.

Next, he prepared to use the Soul Sacrifice skill; with his spirit attribute as high as twenty thousand, he could deal over 200,000 damage, easily insta-killing the Magic Fire Puppet.

But just as he was about to release the skill, he chose to play it safe.

Since even the Reapers Scythe couldn't kill it in one hit, he reasonably suspected the opponent possessed a mythic-grade equipment that granted immunity to death once.

He decided to beat the opponent down to low health first.

Rushing forward, the targeted Magic Fire Puppet immediately cast the "Stone Fire Spark" skill, its speed instantly increasing.

However, its speed was still far inferior to Xu Le's; in its haste to escape, it accidentally stepped into a pit Nine Phoenix had burned earlier.

Losing its footing, it fell straight into the pit.

A Level 99 Magic Fire Puppet certainly wouldn't be that careless, nor would its balance be that poor.

But Puppets had no luck to speak of; after its "Advanced Luck" was deducted, it became "Advanced Bad Luck."

With bad luck looming over it, anything could happen except for good things.

The other Magic Fire Puppets hurriedly ran over, shielding it in the center.

This good?

Xu Le was so excited he almost flew; he immediately cast the Earth Spike skill, knocking all five Puppets into the air.

He even wondered if bad luck was contagious; otherwise, how could the other four Puppets happen to gather together, not only letting him maximize the Earth Spike damage...

...but also perfectly land the damage from Light of Punishment.

Six beams of black light converged; each could deal damage equal to twice his spirit, totaling twelve times.

With a wave of Xu Le's staff, the six beams of black light merged and surged toward the five Magic Fire Puppets.

The front two Puppets twisted their bodies rapidly, barely avoiding two shockwaves, while the three behind them didn't react at all.

Especially the Magic Fire Puppet in the middle; it had no room to resist and was hit directly by the six shockwaves.

Its health bar emptied in a flash, yet it remained standing.

In that white health bar, there was a faint trace of red.

Xu Le was prepared and immediately cast the Soul Sacrifice skill.

A red altar appeared, and the Magic Fire Puppet was fixed in the center.

The disappearance of its previous companions made it realize the horror of this skill; it struggled with all its might, but it was useless.

Forget moving or using skills, it couldn't even blink.

Its entire Soul was suppressed by the altar; it could only watch helplessly as the altar approached, with no room for resistance, easily being sacrificed.

Nine grey items appeared in Xu Le's hand as he harvested nine more of the Magic Fire Puppet's Memory Fragments.

With the previous nine, that made 18 memory fragments; he refused to believe he couldn't give Nine Phoenix a few more fire-type skills.

Speaking of which, sacrificing to himself, a strange feeling flashed through Xu Le's heart.

Boom boom boom boom!

The remaining four Magic Fire Puppets' attributes were weakened by another 20% because they had lost another companion.

Combined with the "Faith Punishment" skill they suffered earlier, they were almost all at low health.

Especially the two Magic Fire Puppets in the back, casting skills as if they cost nothing.

Earth Fire Flowing Slurry!

Raise Fire to Burn the Heavens!

Flame Burst!

...The entire space was dominated by fire elements; at a glance, one could only see an endless sea of fire.

The four surviving Magic Fire Puppets used this to rapidly restore their health.

"It's useless!"

"Death is your destination!"

Xu Le waved his staff, and a tornado swirled up.

The four Magic Fire Puppets scattered to flee; Xu Le cast "Spiritual Interrogation."

One of the Magic Fire Puppets faltered; it was instantly overtaken by the tornado and strangled into a rain of fire.

Wuwuwu... the remaining Magic Fire Puppets seemed to understand their end was near, making sounds like a crying infant.

But now their attributes had plummeted, and the gap between them and Xu Le's spirit attribute was growing wider.

Xu Le aimed at a Puppet in the back right and threw a Mental Shock; its health bar emptied immediately.

Only the two Magic Fire Puppets in front remained, barely boosting each other's attributes by 20%.

Just as Xu Le thought victory was in his grasp, the two Magic Fire Puppets suddenly embraced and merged into one.

Boom!

Black flames surged violently, and the ashes in the surrounding air were drawn in, serving as nutrients for its growth.

An ominous premonition rose in Xu Le's heart; he chanted an incantation, mana surged, and a terrifying bolt of lightning shot out.

Chain Lightning!

But the black magic fire didn't lose even a single drop of health.

Except for the divine statue, Xu Le had never seen a situation where even forced damage couldn't be dealt.

Divine Eye activated.

The enemy's information before him had changed.

[Item] Sacrificial Magic Fire

[Grade] legendary grade

[Item Details] After a large-scale sacrifice, lighting the magic fire has a chance to attract the attention of the Fire God.

"Holy crap!"

"Doesn't the God Descent Cult believe in the Serpent Mother?"

"Who the hell came up with this thing?"

"How do I stop it?"

Xu Le felt a chill in his heart; the Sacrificial Magic Fire had ignited automatically, and the Fire God could take notice here at any moment—heaven knows what would happen.

At the very least, he didn't dare to face a god head-on yet.

He was about to turn and leave when he heard a "clink," and a blood-red ring fell out from the blazing magic fire.

"It wasn't burned?"

"It's at least a legendary grade treasure."

"Pick it up!"

Xu Le immediately rushed forward and snatched it into his hand.

[Accessory] a little more (Ring)

[Quality] mythic-grade

[Requirements] None

[Equipment Trait] Can forcibly increase one's own or a companion's health by one point.

Looking at the equipment trait alone, it was absolute trash among trash; who cared about a single drop of health?

But from its usage, even a Divine-Grade skill like Reapers Scythe couldn't insta-kill the opponent; it was evident how precious that one drop of health was—it was practically an extra half-life.

Run, run, run, run, run!

Xu Le flapped his wings to fly out, suddenly feeling a terrifying pressure as a pair of curious eyes pierced through endless space and fell upon him.

He looked up, seeing nothing but the murky sky.

But his subconscious felt a pair of eyes watching him.

Crackle!

The flames of the Sacrificial Magic Fire were about to go out when they suddenly exploded, and a speck of fiery red dust drifted out.
