When Sheyan regained consciousness, he felt numbness all over his body. It was as if every nerve in his body had been destroyed. He tried to sit up, but found that his limbs no longer belonged to him.
He did not panic. He closed his eyes and silently sensed his body. He suddenly found that the roots of the 'Stairway of the Sun' had extended to the main blood vessels and nerves in his body. Sensing that his body had regained consciousness, the roots retracted back. Instantly, his brain regained control of his body.
At the same time, Sheyan received a notification from the nightmare imprint:
[The creature in your body, the 'Stairway of the Sun', has absorbed most of the Dark Breath that entered your body.]
[The creature in your body, the 'Stairway of the Sun', will enter a dormant state for an estimated duration of 24 hours. During this time, your 'Pestilence Monarch' ability will be locked.]
[A small portion of the Dark Breath still remains in your body, so all your attributes will be temporarily reduced by 20%. This negative status effect will last until it is removed.]
"Oh! How unlucky! " Sheyan grumbled as he tried to prop himself up with difficulty. He did not expect the Dark Breath to be so insidious. The negative status effect was actually half permanent on his body. He might even have to pay the realm to remove it after he returned. This was not good news.
His surroundings were still pitch-black. It seemed like there was still some time before daybreak. Beside him was a bonfire. The heat from the flames was projected onto his skin, giving him an indescribable sense of comfort. It could very well relieve the numbness he was feeling.
Seven or eight meters away, Melody was sitting cross-legged under a large tree with her eyes closed. Her body seemed to be connected to the forest behind her by countless invisible strings. It seemed that the nearby forest was gently moving along with her breathing. Countless specks of green light flew from afar and flew into her body like fireflies, then slowly drifted away.
"Boss, you're awake?" Franklin noticed the situation here and hurriedly walked over. He looked at Sheyan's expression and said.
Sheyan made a shushing gesture and waved his hand in the direction of Melody. Obviously, he did not want to disturb her training.
"Where's the Nazgûl?"
Franklin said in a low voice.
"They've been scattered. Our initial plan of attack was wrong. The Nazgûl doesn't care about the injuries on their bodies. Even the power of nature can only suppress them, not destroy them. The source of their power comes from the Power of the Nine Rings that they wear! Therefore, their only weakness is the ring they wear. "
Sheyan abruptly recalled this matter. The origin of the strife in the Lord of the Rings world, was during the second age. Under the guidance of the Dark Lord Sauron, the Noldor Elves' outstanding craftsman, Kelem Brimble, forged the Three Great Elven Rings, Seven Great Dwarven Rings and Nine Great Human Rings.
In addition, Sauron had secretly forged the One Ring with supreme power. This One Ring could make the holder invisible and immortal, but the most terrifying thing was that this One Ring could control the remaining nineteen rings and had the power to enslave the world.
The Nine Great Human Rings were the most deeply controlled by the One Ring. Those who were obsessed with power would become terrifying Nazgûls after their deaths. Therefore, the Nazgûls' weak points were not the heart, brain or other areas of the human race, but the fingers of the Nine Rings worn by the Nazgûls!
No wonder Melody's last arrow was aimed at the palm of Nazgûl Daull, triggering the power of nature in his body and completely defeating him. In fact, even Sauron, the Dark Lord, lost miserably because the finger that wore the One Ring was cut off. With this in mind, Sheyan asked Franklin.
"What happened to Nazgûl Daull in the end?"
Franklin shrugged and said,
"Unfortunately, Miss Melody's Ring of Air, Vilya, is not strong enough to imprison the One Ring worn by Dau'er. Therefore, the One Ring has been recalled by the One Ring. Dau'er's soul imprint in the ring will allow him to revive after a period of time. However, during this period, Dau'er's power will be equally distributed to the rest of the Ringwraiths. In other words, the rest of the Nazgûls will become stronger during this period. "
"In other words, there are no keys, treasure chests or spoils of war?"
Sheyan sighed and said, "That's right.
Franklin replied.
"Reef and I received an additional 500 Destiny Points. Apart from that, we also received a high-grade title, 'Conqueror of Darkness'. The requirement is to defeat nine Nazgûls. The reward for the title is one out of three. Lastly, we also received an unknown item, a fragment of the armour of the Nazgûl Daull. "
At first, Sheyan found it a little strange that the Fate Points of the Dark Lord's faction would rise after he killed the Dark Lord's men. Now that he thought about it, it was probably because the Dark Lord's people were all eccentric, unpredictable, and temperamental, so they took the initiative to attack him. Sheyan's action could only be considered as a legitimate defense. Otherwise, it would be too unfair to those who chose to side with the Dark Lord.
When he checked the notification, he immediately found the description of the title, 'Conqueror of Darkness'.
[Conqueror of Darkness (19)]
When you defeat all the Nazgûls, you will receive this powerful title. The reward for the title is one of the following three options:
[A: You will receive the mount of the Nazgûl, the 'Nightmare Beast'. This is a very fast mount with a lvl 3 'Aura of Fear'. It will be of great use whether you are on the battlefield with thousands of men and horses, or when you need to retreat or pursue the enemy. After the Nightmare Beast dies, it will automatically revive after a period of time.]
[B: You are very famous in the Underworld. You can pay a certain price to randomly summon one of the three dark creatures: a Vampire, a Dark Knight or a Lich. The rank of the dark creature is rank 3 + the difficulty of the current world.]
[C: All your attacks will carry the dark attribute, causing an additional 10% of your attack power to the enemy.]
Sheyan noticed that the description stated that as long as he participated in the battle against the Nazgûls, he would be considered to have completed the title. This meant that he could use the power of storyline characters to complete the title. The difficulty of completing the title was not as difficult as he imagined.
He then received the fragment of the Nazgûl's armour. The description given by the realm was: This is proof that you participated in the battle against the Nazgûl. From the looks of it, this thing should be similar to the 'Elven Illusion Bone Crystal' he obtained after killing Lord Elrond.
At this moment, Melody had stopped her training. She walked over and asked gently.
"How do you feel now?"
Sheyan smiled bitterly.
"Not bad. The Nazgûl's breath of darkness won't kill me, but my strength is inevitably affected."
Melody fetched a flask from the bonfire nearby and poured a bowl of bubbling medicine into it. The medicine looked very peculiar. It was dark green in color and very viscous. Even after it was poured into the bowl, it kept bubbling. Every time a bubble popped, a strange sound would be heard, as if someone was clapping their hands.
"Drink it."
Sheyan was stunned. To be honest, he didn't want to drink it, but looking at Melody's clear eyes, he couldn't bring himself to refuse. He could only close his eyes and drink it in one gulp. However, he realized that the taste was not as bad as he had imagined. He felt an indescribable warmth slowly spread from his throat to the bottom of his stomach, and then spread to his limbs and bones. It was as if a warm hand was slowly stroking his pain.
After drinking the bowl of medicine, the debuff on Sheyan's body was reduced to 10%. Melody sighed regretfully and said.
"It seems that to remove the debuff of the Nazgûl, we will need the King's Herb. Fortunately, the Shire isn't too far away. Hopefully, we can obtain it there."
"If we want to go to the Shire, we will need Goots' help." Sheyan coughed twice and said.
Melody nodded.
"Goots suffered a huge loss this time. We have to think of a way to compensate him. Let the Gimli tribe provide him with goods at cost price."
She then looked at the kettle used to brew the medicine. This was something Sheyan exchanged from the realm. Naturally, its craftsmanship was far superior to that of the Lord of the Rings world. Melody couldn't help but sigh.
"I've never seen such a delicate kettle before. Is this a product of your world?"
Sheyan hugged her and smiled.
"Yes, in my world, almost everyone can afford to use this kettle."
Melody's clear eyes revealed a look of anticipation.
"What a wonderful and powerful craftsmanship. I'm looking forward to your world more and more."
Sheyan smiled and said.
"Don't worry, I have a feeling that day will come soon. However, our lives are completely different from the Elves'. You might find it refreshing when you first go there, but after living there for a long time, you will feel that the leisurely life of the Elves is much better. "
At this moment, Goots groaned and woke up. He gulped down a few mouthfuls of water and asked.
"Am I still alive? Where are the Nazgûls? "
"We chased them away." Sheyan casually said, "Mr. Goots, I'm really sorry for killing your people...."
Goots closed his eyes and sighed.
"I understand your difficulties. In fact, I have to thank you for saving my life. They were killed by the vile Nazgûl, may God bless their souls. This damned place seems to be filled with danger. I suggest we hurry on with our journey. Perhaps before the sun sets, we can taste the Hobbit's unique garlic smoked sausages." If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at qidian.com.
