【Hey, this is the System that furiously grinds your presence. Here are two of your Daily Quests, System Upgrade Great Rewards. Both of them are from the Righteous Faction. From now on, you must complete at least one Daily Quest every day. Otherwise, I will deduct your Fate Points. Completing both Daily Quests will give you additional Fate Points.】
【Daily Quest: As a Knight, you must challenge a Giant Dragon alone. You must challenge and kill an Evil Dragon that is at least an adult. What right does a young Dragon have to reward you, but considering that you only have the fighting prowess of around 500 cats, it is indeed difficult to challenge an Evil Dragon with the fighting prowess of 30,000 cats. You will be rewarded with 100 Fate Points. However, please note that it is' alone '. So, if you seek help from those hiding behind, 1000 Fate Points will be deducted.】
I directly ignore the malicious Quest to challenge the Evil Dragon alone. Even though I do need Fate Points to strengthen myself, I don't have the intention of seeking death. However, the other Daily Quest is even more confusing.
【Daily Quest: Every Epic Hero begins by helping a little girl find a lost cat. Find a girl, no, find a cat and return it to its owner. You will be rewarded with 3 Fate Points. If you don't complete both quests, 100 Fate Points will be deducted.】
"What a scam! To find a cat in the wilderness, and it just so happens to be a lost one, isn't this clearly deducting Fate Points? As expected, I was too naive to think that the scammer System has changed. "
But then, I remember that although the System is a scumbag, there isn't a quest that is impossible to complete. Or perhaps, my train of thought was wrong from the very start. This isn't a quest that you should use the normal way to complete.
"Perhaps, I can do it this way …"
Next, Kolos picks up a suspicious kitten that suddenly appeared. Un, it is indeed suspicious. Not mentioning how a kitten lives in the cruel wilderness of the Underground World, its attitude of ignoring the Beast Tamer's beast summoning ability and heading straight for the 'young lady' is suspicious no matter how I look at it.
Of course, Kolos, who was tickled by the cute kitten, immediately buys a bottle of milk from the Gnome and happily feeds it to the kitten.
"That damned Gnome bastard. This milk is too watery."
Alright then, ever since she turned into a cat, Harloys's complaints had never stopped. Things like "This is detrimental to the dignity of the Queen of Banshees", "You're clearly a man's soul, but why do you look so much like a woman? You're even using the fat on your chest to press me down. Your subordinates are indeed a bunch of perverts. You're the King of Perverts, no, the God of Perverts." Considering that she still had to put on an act later on, this complaint about milk being mixed with water should be dealt with the same way as any other complaint. I should just pretend that I didn't hear it.
Well, since he had the cat and the cat girl, the next step was naturally to lose the cat as required by the mission.
However, it is extremely illogical for a cat to go missing for no reason. Thus, when the righteous Holy Knight Rolande arrived, Beifeng.Herault, who is known as the Dragon of Extreme Evil, was just about to do something to the pitiful cat that was cowering in fear.
Alright then, when the enraged "owner of the lost property" heard the news and came over with his subordinates to beat up Beifeng, I cried crocodile tears of sympathy.
"Although you are innocent this time, who asked you to usually …" Thinking about his usual actions, the little bit of guilt I felt turned into anger. "Kolos, don't give me any face, beat it to death!!"
"It … It isn't innocent. Master, wuuuu, it is fortunate that you dared to arrive in time. Otherwise, my pure body would have been ruined."
Harloys's trembling in fear wasn't an act. Just now, when she was facing the almost Legend-ranked Beast Tamer alone, she was indeed helpless. Now that she found someone to rely on, she started sobbing.
In an instant, my expression turned terrible. Pure body? Putting aside the question of whether the experienced Harloys has such a thing, to be able to scare the Queen of Banshees to the point of crying, scaring the stubborn Queen of Banshees to the point of obediently calling her master, what did you do, Beifeng?
"You are too heartless, to be able to do such a thing at such a young age!" Considering the huge difference in their physiques, I was suddenly curious as to how he did it. However, after thinking about it a little, due to the disgust I felt, I couldn't connect the dots any further.
【Daily Quest: Every Epic-ranked Hero begins by helping a little girl find her lost cat. Reward: 3 Fate Points. I hope that you will continue to work hard.】
Alright, ignoring this daily beating of Beifeng, I brought Harloys along and silently left his tent filled with weird creatures.
"At least I don't have to be deducted anymore. Continue to work hard? Go to Dragonslayer? Isn't that courting death? "
But suddenly, thinking about the System's weird change in direction and its usual temperament, considering the weird way of completing this mission to find the cat, I had a new idea.
"Based on the System's personality, if I am unable to complete it, it would immediately give me a sky-high reward to disgust me. Is there really a way to complete it with these 100 Fate Points?"
After hesitating for a moment, I nodded my head.
"Since there is no loss even if I fail, then it is worth a try."
Thus, in the largest tent of the temporary camp, I found the old merchant, Carter, who was very familiar with this route.
"What? There is really an evil dragon's lair nearby? "
"Even though it is just a young Black Dragon, it is really a headache for it to ambush merchant convoys and steal their goods. However, we have a Legend-ranked Holy Knight in our group, so we don't have to worry about the crafty Black Dragon ambushing us. But last week, 2 merchant convoys were killed by it. Right, I heard that due to it affecting the movement of the merchant convoys, Sulfur Mountain City has organized a few attempts to exterminate it, but it managed to escape in advance. "
Alright, I roughly understood it. Thus, I raised my sword high up and raised my voice to make a vow.
"Those who do evil deserve to die. Alright, since there is an evil dragon, let me represent the Holy Light and justice to get rid of that evil Black Dragon. I will behead the evil dragon by myself! "
Alright, not only Carter in front of me, everyone in the surroundings looked at me in shock. Not only did they think that this was a death-seeking vow that was in line with the Holy Knight's style, it was also because I said it so loudly that half of the camp probably heard it.
Then, as expected, I felt the slowly revolving Power of Death in the clouds start to move again. Thus, I nodded my head in satisfaction.
Under the gazes of the crowd, "Ah, another chuunibyou Knight whose head has been washed white by the Holy Light. Farewell, I won't send you off", I left the camp alone.
The dragon's lair wasn't far. Following the traces left behind, I quickly found the way.
Who left the traces? Un, let's not pursue this matter.
"Meow, Roland, look at that Manticore. Its entire body is charred black. It seems to have been roasted by electricity. Are there any lightning-type magic beasts nearby?"
"Oh, there might be."
"Hey hey, you really intend to find trouble with the young Black Dragon? Just based on your current weak battle prowess, you will be killed in an instant. "
"Don't worry, I already have confidence."
Then, the scene of me stepping into the dragon's lair strengthened my confidence.
"Wah, these unlucky Ogres were obviously torn apart by brute force. Did they meet a Titan or a Behemoth?"
"They probably met the Bull Demon King."
"I think I know where your inexplicable confidence comes from."
"It's good that you know. Don't talk too much. We came to the Dragonslayer 'alone'."
As an emphasis on the word 'alone', there is no mistake in saying it many times.
"Pfft! That must be the Bull Demon King you were talking about. That foolish cow actually thought that a banana leaf would be able to cover him. That's weird, why is he naked? "
"Sigh, I'm getting more and more worried about the Supreme Court. Cough, Harloys, don't spout nonsense. What naked foolish cow? He is probably a kind-hearted pervert who just happened to pass by. "
"Yes, yes, we came alone. But, what do you think of them? "
Not far away from me, a group of Claw Terror Zombies were fighting with their own kind. The resurrected Zombies didn't have the biggest weakness of normal Zombies, which was slow movement. They were swift and unafraid of death. The brainless Zombies actually coordinated with each other, completely suppressing their own kind in terms of strength.
This is obviously the product of a master who specializes in summoning death. Looking at the outstanding formation of the Zombie Battle Formation, it is most likely a top-notch Death Knight.
"They are probably a group of kind-hearted passersby. Don't worry, they will leave very soon. "
"Zi zi zi." A bolt of lightning flashes past. Whatever Zombie Battle Formation, whatever Claw Terror reared by the Evil Dragon, they all disappear without a trace. The only thing left on the spot is a charred corpse.
"This?" Harloys doesn't know what to say anymore. This is obviously the Titan God's Lightning.
"It is probably a kind-hearted Ultraman who threw out a light wave. There are so many passersby today. Un, let's not bother about these kind-hearted passersby. Let's go to the Dragonslayer. "
"Alright, I won't be surprised when I see the tied up Black Dragon later."
"Don't worry, I won't be surprised either."
As expected, in the deepest part of the Dragon's Lair, I see that Evil Dragon. Although it isn't tied up, it is in a much worse state than being tied up.
This man-eating Evil Dragon's body is charred black. Its wings are torn apart and it falls to the side. Its four limbs are tightly bound by space-time magic and the Power of Death is corroding its entire body. It looks as though it was beaten up by a group of SemiGods. Even if I leave it alone, it will definitely die in no time.
I silently take out my sword and swing it down.
"For the Holy Light!"
"Dang!"
Alright, the Dragon's skin is too tough. This cheap sword is too weak and it actually isn't able to pierce through it.
It's fine, we can just do it a few more times.
"For Justice!"
"Dang!"
"For Honor!"
"Dang!"
"For …"
The scene in front of me is destined to be a protracted battle. Harloys is already starting to chase after her own tail out of boredom. If it wasn't for the fact that it is too hard for me to think of a new slogan, I really want to remind her that cats don't chase after their own tails, only dogs do.
"For Fate Points!"
Alright, after 30 plus slashes, I can't think of a new slogan anymore. That Evil Dragon's face is filled with resentment. That expression of wanting to cry but no tears seem to be saying, "Can you hurry up? This is torturing a Dragon, I am still waiting to collect my lunch box."
"For the dog raised by your second uncle's neighbor's daughter's boyfriend's teacher!"
Alright, I don't even know if it is this genius slogan that came into effect or if the Black Dragon finally succumbs to its injuries. Its neck crooked and it falls to the ground dead.
"Ha, ha, finally, finally, Dragonslayer succeeded!!"
This heavy panting isn't due to the exhaustion of swinging the sword, it is mainly due to the panting from shouting the slogan …
【Detected that only your Magic Pet Harloys was in the surroundings when the Host completed the Daily Quest. The Host has fulfilled the condition of 'Alone'. Congratulations to the Host for completing the Daily Quest 'As a Knight, You Must Challenge a Giant Dragon Alone'. The reward is 100 Fate Points. Today's Daily Quests are all completed, the reward is an additional 100 Fate Points. System Notice: To think that you would notice it. However, don't expect tomorrow's Daily Quest to be so simple.】
Alright, I don't want to say anything more. System, you need to top up your moral integrity!
…
On the field of the temporary camp, a battle between the Knight is going on.
The two ice-cold swords clashed against each other. Then, they split into two. What made everyone shocked was that the one who was at a disadvantage in the clash of swords wasn't the newbie Holy Knight who somehow managed to slay a dragon. Instead, it was the Justice Knight who was at the peak of Silver-rank.
"As expected, if we only look at Strength, even if there is a difference in rank, I won't lose to any Warrior below Gold-rank."
Although the main attribute of a Dark Elf Knight is Strength, I don't think that a Dark Elf who is born with weak Strength would be able to surpass my 20 points of Strength that surpasses mortals.
"Ha, looks like you aren't a normal gigolo. Your charging force isn't too bad. I wonder how your techniques are like. Don't look good but don't be so useless."
Even though she is at a complete disadvantage in the clash of swords, the 'Fierce Dog' Momo, whose hands are numb, still doesn't forget to tease me. That dirty joke of hers with a double meaning won the cheers of the crowd.
However, how can I fall for such a simple and obvious taunt? Since a Dark Elf who is born with weak Strength is foolish enough to compete with me in strength, how can I let go of this opportunity?
"Ha, the mad barking of a defeated dog?" With a loud roar, I press my hands down forcefully. The two swords intersect and I slash down forcefully. Under the difference in brute force, Momo is forced to kneel on one knee.
However, after going through countless combat training in Sulfur Mountain City, the other party isn't someone to be trifled with. She has already started chanting silently. I have to say, compared to the Priest and Holy Knight whose main attribute is Will, the Law class which focuses on Intelligence is more suitable for the Dark Elves who have higher Intelligence.
"Ah ha! Incantation of Law: Equality of Life! "
"Darn it! It's this shameless move again. "
The light of Order flashes and the situation turns around in an instant. The half-kneeling Momo jumps up in an instant. I am the one being suppressed instead.
【One of the effects of the God Equipment of the Original Codex, All Are Equal Before the Law: Demarcate a land within the law, lowering the rank and stats of everyone within to the same level as the user. For every 10 seconds, one Faith Point will be consumed.】
This is 【Incantation of Law: Equality of Life!】 This is the simplified version of the Original Codex of the God Equipment, 【All Are Equal Before the Law】. It is a famous shameless move.
This simplified version of the Incantation of Law is naturally far from the effects of the God Equipment. It can only lower a single stat of the opponent and the minimum time required to chant the incantation is 6 seconds. The duration of the incantation is only 10 seconds. However, if it is successfully cast, it is extremely disgusting.
My Strength instantly drops to 16 on my Stats Window. Now that our basic stats are the same, Momo has a 40 level advantage over me. It is a piece of cake for her to suppress me in a clash of swords.
"Should I say that I reap what I sow?"
At this moment, Momo's heavy sword strikes consecutively. 'Dang dang dang' sounds of swords clashing against one another. The situation turns around and I am forced to retreat from the attacks.
"Darn it, 6, 5, 4. I still have to endure for 3 seconds. Un?"
I grit my teeth and endure the attacks. I intend to endure through these 10 seconds. However, on the 7th second, the heavy sword suddenly lightens and I return to my normal state. At that moment, I think of the Race Talent that I just obtained.
"The effect of the Titan Body is actually effective against the State of Law! As expected of a Diamond-ranked Race Talent. "
【Titan Body (Diamond-ranked Race Talent): Your physical body contains the primal power of the Titan. Your skin is becoming more and more similar to Titan metal. All damage and negative effects are reduced by 30%. All damage is reduced by 5 points.】
This is the Race Talent that I awakened after my Stamina broke through the limit of 20 points. Although the description is simple, the effects are extremely useful.
【Exquisite Two-Handed Sword (Steel)】
【Attack Power: 0-8】
【System Notice: Two lousy swords that cost 10 gold coins. Do you still expect a System Notice? I am speechless. You have the nerve to use such a lousy sword. I feel embarrassed for you. Actually, I still have a few good swords here and they are very cheap. Of course, a little troublesome curse won't be a problem for you. Actually, I am still a little resentful that you haven't turned into a girl. Why don't you try the Lottery? If it's the Spring of the Drowned Woman, I have a lot of them here. It would be a pity to waste them.】
Alright, the fact that I have been scammed consecutively has made me realize the need to cherish my life and distance myself from the System. Let us ignore the strange resentment of this darned System.
Returning to the main topic, if I were to use this lousy sword to slash myself, without any additional Strength, even if I were to deal the highest damage, I would only be able to deal 2 points of damage. Furthermore, there is an 80% chance that I would be completely ignored. Even if my opponent has additional Strength, I am wearing the Knight's armour, which provides outstanding defense.
At this moment, under the effects of the Titan Body, the 10-second duration of the Law Incantation is forcefully reduced to 7 seconds. This is out of everyone's expectations. In a real battle, every second counts, not to mention a full 3 seconds of miscalculation.
Thus, taking advantage of the other party's opening, I forcefully knock and twist my sword, sending Momo's Mithril Two-Handed Sword flying into the sky. Then, while the opponent's attention is distracted by the flying sword, I suddenly increase my speed and slam into her.
The full-powered charge of a Holy Knight who has 20 points of Strength and is fully armored? That is equivalent to a miniature train. In an instant, Momo is sent flying. Even though she managed to stab her sword into the ground in time to adjust her balance and stand her ground, her head is already spinning.
A Silver-rank Knight who has lost her balance? She is just a large metal can as a stationary target.
Thus, I make use of this opportunity to use another Diamond-rank Race Talent. Since it awakened after my Strength reaches 20 points, it should be a powerful offensive ability.
"The Light of Order descends upon my sword. Take this, Sword of Order …"
However, before I can finish my words, I am suddenly pulled away by a huge force and my black iron sword is blocked.
"Enough, Momo. Don't look down on others. From the moment I was forced to use the Law Incantation, Rolande has already won. Come, according to our agreement, apologize to Rolande. "
Alright, in front of the Legend-rank Holy Knight Diana, a Bronze-rank Holy Knight like me isn't enough. I am stopped in an instant.
At this moment, I remember that Momo was the one who boasted shamelessly about how she could defeat me easily with just her swordsmanship. However, not only did she use the Law Incantation, she was even suppressed. According to our agreement, I should have won.
Even though I won this time, it actually revealed many of my flaws.
Even though I should have an overwhelming advantage in swordsmanship and battle experience, there are many times when my eyes and thoughts are able to react in time, but my physical body isn't able to react in time. This isn't a problem with the fusion of my physical body. Rather, it is due to the lack of training for my newborn physical body. I haven't gone through the training to carve swordsmanship techniques into my body as though they are instinctive. This is the reason why I act so arrogantly.
I smile and shake my head at Momo, who is reluctantly apologizing, indicating that I don't mind it. However, my thoughts are elsewhere.
"Looks like I have been slacking recently. I have forgotten what my foundation is. Let's start from swinging my sword ten thousand times a day and slowly recover."
However, what is surprising is that when I am swinging my sword alone in my tent in the middle of the night, an unfamiliar visitor suddenly interrupts my training plan.
Moon Knight Diana sneaks into my tent with an embarrassed blush on her face.
"This … Is this the legendary night raid? Father of the Kingdom of Heaven, the resurrection is too amazing. To think that I, Roland, would also have such a day. Ah, as expected of the legendary Dark Elves, to be so proactive. I am so lucky! "
But then, thinking about my little friend who is still in puberty, I almost cry tears of blood on the spot.
"How unfortunate!! Is there anything more unfortunate than this? "
However, the moment Diana opens her mouth, I know that I have jinxed it once again. The God of Misfortune is still on my side.
"Roland, no, Lich Roland, Lord Wumianzhe, long time no see."
