43: Chapter 43: Choose the Divine Weapon Reward – The God-Slaying Spear!

Although thousands of Ice Horn Ants were still killed by the False God Gluttony King Grotto in the end, the remaining Ice Horn Ants successfully crawled onto it and easily killed it instantly!!!

"Hahaha, Big Boss, I knew you could do it! The biggest threat to the Beast World has finally been resolved!"

Seeing the False God Gluttony King Grotto dead, with foul-smelling black pus flowing all over the ground, Carlos finally dispelled his fear, speaking out heartily and laughing joyfully.

"This is still thanks to your help. Without your Divine Artifact suppressing the BOSS's False God power, I wouldn't have been able to kill the BOSS so easily!" Lu Chen said with sincere gratitude.

If not for Carlos's god-slaying spear, he estimated he would have been forced into a desperate situation by the BOSS.

"Not at all! If it weren't for Big Boss's legendary Night Curtain Bomb item, I wouldn't have dared to act rashly. After all, the god-slaying spear can only exert its effect when within a hundred meters of the BOSS!" Carlos was also honest.

In short, being able to kill the BOSS was their combined credit; neither could do it without the other!

"Carlos, I'm quite curious, besides your NPC identity, what other identities do you have? That shot just now, you were a bit cool, like a brave warrior!" Lu Chen voiced the question in his heart.

This Carlos's identity was quite mysterious, which could be guessed from his various performances along the way.

Whether it was the Beast Gods Ancient Hall's guardian, the BOSS Xi He'er, or the final BOSS, the False God Gluttony King Grotto, they all knew Carlos!

"Actually... I am the previous holder of the beast god medal." As he spoke, Carlos took out a rusty, ancient medal.

"What!!!" Lu Chen was stunned!

But suddenly!

Carlos returned to his unreliable state, put away the medal, and laughed: "Big Boss, I lied to you! I picked this medal up!"

"..." Lu Chen's forehead was covered in black lines, but then he also laughed heartily.

[Ding, congratulations on perfectly completing the fourth stage mission. Mission settlement begins!]

[Ding, congratulations on receiving a perfect score of 100!]

[Ding, because you perfectly completed this advancement mission, you will receive three choices of the highest rewards!]

Hearing the prompt, Lu Chen smiled slightly; it was three reward choices again.

[Reward ①: Obtain the Beast Contract Power BUFF, Life x5, Defense x5!]

[Reward ②: Obtain the legendary mount, the Storm Eagle, with the attached skill 'Sky Resonance'!]

[Reward ③: Obtain the damaged Divine Artifact, the god-slaying spear. This Divine Artifact can be used by any profession, but after choosing this Divine Artifact, you cannot receive the legendary equipment reward!]

Lu Chen's eyes went wide.

It was just because these three rewards were all too tempting.

Especially seeing the third reward, which was actually the Divine Artifact Carlos used. Even if it was damaged, it was enough to drive people crazy!

Because Divine Artifacts are unique!

Lu Chen really wanted to say: "Only children make choices, I want them all!"

But rules are rules. Even if Lu Chen wanted all three rewards, he could only bear the pain of giving up and choose one!

In the end, Lu Chen gritted his teeth and chose the damaged Divine Artifact [god-slaying spear]!

Because the BUFF reward could be obtained later, and the mount reward too, but a Divine Artifact is once in a blue moon. If he missed it, he probably wouldn't encounter it again in the future.

As for choosing the [god-slaying spear] and not being able to get the legendary equipment reward, it was irrelevant, because what Lu Chen lacked the least was legendary equipment!

[Ding, you have selected the third reward, which will be issued together with the fixed rewards!]

[Fixed Rewards: Prestige +600,000, Gold +600,000, All Attributes +600, Tier 2 Experience Orb x1, beast god medal x1!]

The experience orb could continue to be used to upgrade Beast Taming skills.

Eh?

beast god medal?

After Lu Chen received the reward, he took it out to look; it was an ancient medal, the same as the one Carlos had.

[Name: beast god medal]

[Rank: None]

[Effect: Can activate the Heroic Aura. Within 3 minutes, one's own skills and equipment effects have no cooldown. Cooldown: 24 hours!]

Hiss!!!

Lu Chen's pupils suddenly contracted and then dilated, his face full of ecstasy. This medal could actually make equipment effects have no cooldown!

Doesn't that mean, he could rely on this beast god medal to resurrect infinitely within 3 minutes? The time wasn't long, but it was already Heaven-Defying!

This was truly a big, unexpected surprise!

Medals are similar to titles; you can only choose one to use.

After equipping the medal, Lu Chen looked at the [god-slaying spear]!

[This is a fragment of the meteor that pierced through Ragnarok; the tip of the spear still retains the bloodstains of a mysterious god's right eye.]

[When the blood of gods recasts the spear body, the Eternal Spear will once again tear through the cracks of darkness.]

...

One word:

Awesome!

This is what the status of a Divine Artifact should be!

Even if it was damaged, this list of bonuses was enough to crush legendary equipment!

The only drawback was that this Divine Artifact couldn't be repaired through normal methods; it could only be repaired autonomously by absorbing the blood of gods.

This made Lu Chen have to consider how to obtain the blood of gods in the future.

Equipping the [god-slaying spear], Lu Chen opened his post-advancement attribute panel:

[Name: Lu Chen]

Just by changing one Divine Artifact, the attack power was already comparable to a World Lord BOSS in a normal state!

Before reaching Tier 5, the god-slaying spear could be used as the primary weapon.

Advancement rewards completed.

A teleportation vortex appeared in front of Lu Chen.

Lu Chen bid farewell to Carlos: "Actually, being able to meet a brave Your Excellency is the greatest harvest of this advancement mission!"

"Big Boss, stop fooling me. Your eyes were fixed on the Divine Artifact just now!" Carlos said leisurely.

"Hahaha, that wasn't it. It was my first time seeing a Divine Artifact, so I took a few extra looks. In any case, I, Lu Chen, have made a friend in you, NPC!"

Lu Chen patted Carlos on the shoulder, which moved Carlos greatly.

"Next time there's a chance, we shall fight side by side again!"

"It's a deal!"

After speaking, Carlos seemed to remember something and quickly said: "Big Boss, according to my years of experience living in the Beast World, the ultimate Profound Truth of a Beast Tamer is to believe in your partner, even if this partner only helps by getting in the way!"

This time, Lu Chen did not interrupt Him, but unconditionally believed in Carlos's words: "Received!"

As the teleportation vortex disappeared, Lu Chen returned to the real world.

And Carlos pondered for a while, finally appearing to have made some major decision.

He was seen bravely walking towards the chained stone pillar. As his ancient methods moved, four rune chains instantly pierced through Carlos's body, causing Carlos to let out a painful roar.

In an instant.

Divine light flared!

When the divine light faded, Carlos had transformed into a huge statue of a god!

[Chi! Gods Game, start!]
