There was a proverb that went like this: "When you meet a bear in the forest, you don't need to run faster than the bear, you just need to run faster than your companions."
The same applied to the battle between Sheyan and Legolas. Sheyan did not need to kill Legolas, he only needed to outlast him in the battle. Legolas, who was already exhausted from his eagerness to fight, would certainly not fight a protracted battle as Sheyan wished.
Therefore, the whole process of the battle was within Sheyan's expectations. But he did not expect Legolas to make such a desperate counterattack and use a divine artifact as his trump card! Fortunately, Sheyan's tyrannical innate ability won the battle in the end.
Because of this, Sheyan sneered and remained indifferent to Gandalf's "back door", as if he was at a loss of what to do. However, Zi could be seen from afar, her eyes were closed as she floated in the air.
With her as the core, several fierce rays of light shone out from her back. The rays looked very dangerous at first glance, like molten steel, scorching and scorching red. However, the rays of light penetrated at least several contestants and storyline characters, but they appeared to be unharmed, as if nothing had happened.
The only explanation was that the rays of light came from Zi, but they did not come from this world! The ghost that was moving Legolas' body, the Black Arrow and the Lothlorien Bow that floated in the air for no reason, suddenly let out a shrill scream! Then, they turned into smoke and disappeared into the wind!
The backup plan that Gandalf and the Maia had set up was to use creatures from other planes to take away the spoils of war and recoup the last bit of their losses. However, Zi already had the ability to interfere with space-time transmissions. She could even nullify items with the power of space-time, let alone now that she had obtained a legendary equipment. She was like a tiger that had grown wings.
As Zi coldly retracted her magic dagger, the surroundings of the White Tower began to shake violently, as if space itself was fluctuating violently. A terrible sound could be heard, which was very similar to the sound of a knife slashing across the surface of glass, but magnified by a hundred times. It made one want to cover one's ears to prevent their soul from being tortured by the terrible sound.
In the end, the Maia could only send their will here, and not their power. Strong gusts of wind swept past, as if they were roaring in anger.
Immediately after, the upper level of the White Tower burned with terrifying flames that did not belong to the human world. The pure white stone was burned into red magma! Without a doubt, none of the remaining people above would survive, but their souls would be taken away by the enraged Naya and brought to the Blessed Land of the Elves, the Holy Land of Amen. There, the World Tree would protect their souls and reconstruct their bodies.
(Note: The Valar were ancient gods. After they defeated the Dark Lord, Morgoth, they went to a higher plane. However, their power was greatly hindered by the plane barrier. That was why Sauron, Morgoth's little brother, was able to dominate the Middle Earth. The Valar, who had already left, could only watch from the higher planes and could not interfere directly. They could only send their underlings, Maiar like Gandalf, to carry out their will.)
The dark side contestants were not at all surprised by this outcome, because the Mouth of Sauron had already warned them of the possible consequences of this. Now, they began to rush forward. First, they wanted to completely destroy the base of the White Tower, then clean up the remaining survivors near the White Tower, so as to achieve the final victory.
At that moment, Sheyan suddenly closed his eyes. He had obviously received some kind of notification about the spoils of war. Next, a black light flashed on Legolas' body. The powerful Black Arrow darted left and right in the air like a trapped beast, as if it was unwilling to accept the arrangement of fate. In the end, it was helplessly bound by an invisible force and delivered to Sheyan!
To be honest, this situation was too much of a coincidence. After Sheyan killed Legolas, Legolas' most valuable item dropped from his body. After all, in most of the previous adventures, it was not uncommon for high-grade storyline characters to only drop inferior items. But when combined with the deeper meaning behind this battle, it did not feel strange at all.
This was a battle between multiple Realms. This was a battle where the Realms used their own laws to the limit!
Both sides who participated in the battle gained great benefits from the loot, not just for Sheyan, but for almost everyone. Whether it was the human alliance or the dark side, it was very difficult for them to not drop anything after killing someone. If Sheyan had not obtained a big loot when he killed Aragorn earlier, Legolas would have dropped a big loot as well. It was precisely because of this that those who participated in a Realms war and survived must have fully absorbed the nutrients of others. They would often show signs of being reborn.
No matter how reluctant the divine artifact, the Black Arrow, was, in the end, unable to escape from Sheyan's clutches. It was caught in Sheyan's hand. A series of notifications immediately popped up.
[You have successfully looted the low-grade divine artifact, Black Arrow, also known as the Dragon Slaying Arrow, Smaug's Doom.]
[The divine artifact is shrouded in a layer of fog. You have not been acknowledged by the artifact's soul, so you cannot obtain its detailed attributes.]
[This is a strange and powerful weapon. It has the noble bloodline of a powerful weapon used by the ancient god, Vala. Forcefully using it will cause severe damage to the user.]
[Basic Equipment Requirements (can only exert 50% of its maximum power):???]
[Advanced Equipment Requirements (can only exert 70% of its maximum power):???]
[Comprehensive Equipment Requirements (can exert its maximum power):???]
???? [Equipment Requirements (can exert the maximum power of this weapon):???]
[Origin: omitted (please refer to the previous paragraph for details)]
[This weapon can be used in two ways, melee or ranged. Melee users can hold the tail of the arrow and use it as a handgun, while ranged users can use it as a projectile. Under normal circumstances, the power of a melee weapon is weaker than that of a ranged weapon.]
[The Power of the Ancients: The divine power of the ancient Vala still remains in this weapon. The blood of the enemy may stimulate and trigger this powerful divine power. When attacking the enemy, there is a chance to obtain a special effect of + 15 to all attributes (in melee state) or a special effect of reducing all attributes of the enemy by 15 points (in ranged state).]
[The Power of the Ancients can be stacked three times for 30 minutes.]
***
[Dragon's End: The miserable screams of the evil dragon Smaug hover on the Black Arrow will directly affect the opponent. When your opponent is not a dragon, their defence will be reduced by 20%. When your opponent is a dragon, their attack power will be increased by 50% due to anger.]
[This effect can only be obtained after you meet the advanced equipment requirements.]
***
[Weakness Capture: After you enter the combat state, the soul of the Black Arrow will begin to analyze and capture the enemy's weakness at any time and place. The effect will also be improved over time.]
[After you enter the combat state for 30 seconds, the first improvement will be obtained. Your critical hit damage will be increased from 2 times the default critical hit damage to 2.5 times. After you enter the combat state for 90 seconds, the second improvement will be obtained. Your critical hit damage will be increased by 3 times. After you enter the combat state for 4 minutes, the fourth improvement will be obtained. Your critical hit damage will be increased by 3.5 times. After you enter the combat state for 10 minutes, the fifth improvement will be obtained. Your critical hit damage will be increased by 4 times! After you enter the combat state for half an hour, the final improvement will be obtained. Your critical hit damage will be increased by 5 times!]
[Hint: The Black Arrow must be equipped to obtain this improvement effect. It cannot be stored in your personal storage.] [This effect can only be obtained after you have 100% mastery over the weapon.]
***
[Valar's Wrath (Active Ability)]
[Mobilize the divine power of the Ancient Valar to launch an astonishing two-shot combo. The first arrow will be the main body of the Black Arrow. Enemies hit by the arrow will suffer a lot of damage and be silenced. All passive and active abilities will be temporarily disabled and stunned for 3 seconds.]
[The second arrow will be the soul of the Black Arrow. It will deal 5 times the damage of the first arrow. If the enemy's remaining HP is determined to be less than 20%, the enemy will be killed instantly.]
[Cooldown: 24 hours. The silencing effect will last for 24 hours or be removed by the wielder of the Black Arrow.]
[Hint: The Black Arrow must be in a ranged attack state to obtain this improvement effect. It cannot be stored in your personal storage.] [This effect can only be obtained after you have 100% mastery over the weapon.]
***
[Warning: Because the soul of the Black Arrow is still in a hostile state, you are currently unable to obtain the right to use this equipment. You only have the ownership of this equipment. You must fight the soul of the Black Arrow and conquer it before you can sign a soul contract with it and use it.]
[Hint: You must gather all relevant materials before you can activate the teleportation array to battle the soul of the Black Arrow. You can only choose to face the soul of the Black Arrow alone. If you fail the challenge, your life may be in danger.]
Skimming through this detailed information, Sheyan finally understood. Although the disparity between a dark gold grade and a legendary grade equipment was huge, it was still not as huge as the disparity between a legendary grade and a divine artifact! There was a saying that divine equipment could only be owned by the virtuous. According to the rules of the Nightmare Realm, once a divine equipment reached the level of a divine equipment, there would be a two-way choice. That is, the user would choose the strongest equipment, but the strongest equipment would also choose its owner at the same time!
This was the greatest difference between a divine artifact and a legendary grade equipment.
After gripping the Black Arrow in his hand, Sheyan felt as though he was gripping the tail of a blazing serpent! Boiling hot, scorching hot, and brimming with an unyielding strength. Everyone had the feeling of grabbing a fresh fish before. The Black Arrow was struggling like that, but ten times more stubbornly.
However, when G-spot quietly transformed and covered the Black Arrow with its shiny silver metal tentacles, the Black Arrow suddenly stopped twisting. As if it was an illusion, the weapon suddenly shrank by one-tenth. Then, G-spot's silver tentacles emitted a puff of smoke and immediately retracted back into the Black Arrow.
Both sides immediately quieted down, but judging from the way they were holding each other, it was clear that there would be plenty of time for that. G-spot, as a top legendary grade equipment, was still unable to devour the divine artifact, but the divine artifact was also afraid of this terrifying metallic lifeform that could assimilate everything. G-spot only needed to be a little bit stronger to be able to cruelly devour the divine artifact as food.
The remaining White Tower could no longer hold on under the fierce pounding of several fierce Trolls. With a loud creak, it collapsed! Amidst a cloud of smoke and dust, the iconic building of Minas Tirith, the largest city on the continent, finally collapsed.
In this instance, several contestants were cheering and jumping for joy. Many contestants even knelt down, covering their faces with their hands as tears flowed out from the gaps between their fingers.
The sun finally tore through the dark clouds and shone down. The Orcs and Trolls took refuge in the shade, but it was meaningless now. Standing on the top of the city, Sheyan looked down at the devastated Pelennor Fields, the ruins and black smoke in the city. He suddenly felt a sense of achievement built on the bones of a general.
He was still a 26-year-old young man after all. Although he had matured mentally, he could not help but feel desolate.
Looking at the sunlight in the distance and the smoke from Mount Mordor that was faintly discernible in the clouds, Sheyan received a belated notification.
[The Golden Main Mission: Destroy the Kingdom has been successfully completed.]
[You have successfully destroyed the White Tower and wiped out the entire human alliance. The members of the Fellowship of the Ring have been reduced by at least 50%.]
[Mission Completion Evaluation: Basically Excellent (Don't be surprised. Although you did a good job, the excessive casualties of the dark side army is the ultimate negative factor affecting this rating.)]
[Mission Description: When you destroyed the White Tower, you also wiped out all the people guarding it. You did a good job.]
[Hint: Your party level is not high enough, so your status as the leader of a Silver Party cannot affect the outcome of the reward.]
[Your achievement points have increased by 40 + 3 points (Legend Level bonus + 3)]
[You have received 300,000 utility points.]
[You have received 70 Potential Points.]
[You have successfully completed the Golden Main Mission! Party level + 1!]
"Common Reward A: All your attributes will receive an additional 15 + 3 points (Legend Level bonus)."
[Description: This bonus will be directly added to the attribute points. There is no need to distribute it.]
[Common Reward B: Interstellar Journey Certificate (One-time consumable item)]
[Description: After using this item, contestants (including Growth Hunters) will not be able to attack you during your stay in this world. At the same time, you will not be able to attack other contestants.]
[Common Reward C: Letter of Exemption (This item can exempt you from the penalty for missions of difficulty B rank and below 3 times, and 1 time for missions of difficulty A rank and below 1 time. Unable to exempt you from the penalty for missions of higher difficulty.]
[Description: After using this item, you will be exempted from the penalty for mission failure. Of course, you will not be able to do so. You must obtain the mission reward. Please use this item before the penalty is imposed.]
***
[Common Reward D: Sauron's Horn.]
[Description: When you blow it, the powerful Dark Lord will use his divine power to send his subordinates through the distant space-time tunnel to fight for you. You will obtain the combined strength of a small party (11 people), including one Uruk-hai, five Orc arsonists, four Orc warriors, and one Orc shaman. They will receive the protection of Sauron's divine power and will not die in battle. They will return to the Lord of the Rings world after entering a state of near death or 24 hours later.]
[Details: Whenever you blow Sauron's Horn, you must inject dark energy into it. There are two ways to inject dark energy into it: slaughter 200 souls, or return to the realm to recharge.]
Looking at this series of notifications, all the contestants exclaimed in amazement. Such a generous reward was beyond their expectations. What followed next was the main event that made everyone's blood boil with excitement.
[Based on your contribution in this battle, you will receive a varying amount of golden utility points. Use them to purchase the following special rewards of the Golden Main Mission!] [After leaving this world, regardless of whether you have remaining golden utility points, they will disappear. Golden utility points can be exchanged. Your remaining contribution points will be exchanged for golden utility points according to a certain ratio.]
[Contestant No. 1018, your performance in this battle is worth 133 golden utility points. Do you wish to exchange your remaining contribution points?]
[Yes!]
[Contestant No. 1018, you currently have 194 golden utility points. Please choose the equipment or items you like from the following special rewards of the Golden Main Mission.] [Please choose carefully, because most of the equipment or items that appear here will only appear in the rewards of the Golden Main Mission.] [Due to the large amount of data transferred from the database, please wait patiently for the data to be entered ….]
[The preparation time for the data entry is 17 minutes and 31 seconds. Please wait patiently. You can sit down and have a drink, bandage your wounds or relax. This is a completely safe area.]
Party Ace had also spontaneously gathered around Sheyan, taking the initiative to put together the golden utility points that would become invalid once they expired. Party Ace was now a whole. Aziz, who was originally arrogant and unruly, had also quickly integrated into the team after experiencing blood, fire, death and life, as if he had always been a member of the team.
Of course, the contestants were as noisy as a wet market at this time. Everyone wanted to get more golden utility points. After all, the equipment and items that appeared could only be obtained after completing the Golden Main Storyline Mission. The equipment and items that appeared were at least supra grade (dark gold equipment had the strength to contend with some legendary equipment). (To be continued.
