If one were to ask what was the best material to forge an armor in the real world, the answer would undoubtedly be black gold. Its strength, toughness and energy absorption were all in one go. It was the best material among all.
However, using black gold to forge a full body armor, even for those Voidwalkers who were as rich as a country back then, it was still an illusory and illusory thing. That was because the production of black gold was too low. Its raw material, black gold ore, could only be found in the deepest part of the earth. It was often accompanied by lava lakes and extremely troublesome creatures such as the Sand King, the Crypt Weaver, the Nyx Beetle and so on.
Even though everyone knew that the black gold was more valuable than those precious gems and gems, there was no way to increase the production of the ore. As a result, this extremely precious material had always been in a state where there was a demand but no supply. It was already very rare to be able to collect a part of it to forge the key parts of an armor. Even the Voidwalkers did not dare to think about using this kind of black gold to forge a whole body armor.
But this black guy in front of them seemed to have done it. Baiyi could not believe it so he continued to attack the non-important parts of the opponent's body. Basically, there were some shallow white scratches all over his body but they still did not cause any substantial damage to him.
This guy's whole body is actually made of black gold!!! It's like a walking gold mine!!!
The shock in his heart made Baiyi quickly take a few steps back, temporarily putting some distance between him and his opponent. Pretending that he was recovering his strength, he asked the Voidwalkers in his mind, How much do you think this guy is worth?
If we calculate it according to the price of goods back then, it should be around 600,000 gold coins right? But money is not the main point. The main point is, where did you find so much black gold? The Apprentice, the youngest Voidwalker, provided the information.
600,000 gold coins? Alright, I've been tossed around for half a day today and I only managed to get 1600 gold coins... What kind of concept is 600,000 gold coins? Baiyi, who had never been rich before, asked again.
"It's enough for us to open 20 well-equipped and well-staffed alchemy workshops and that includes the cost of the raw materials," The Alchemist roughly explained.
"Two well-equipped, well-trained and logistical legions. Basically, this is enough to destroy a small country," The Thane added.
"The head of a king, or a super magic scroll, such as Soul Banishment," the Assassin added.
Alright, now that the three of them had given Baiyi some additional information, the black thing was no longer a walking mountain of gold in Baiyi's eyes. Instead, it had turned into a complex amalgamation of twenty workshops, forty thousand soldiers, and a crown. One of Baiyi's hands, which was hidden under his cloak, began to glow with a dark green light. It was the unique color of the Lich's Soul Magic.
This guy realized that the other side was too valuable, and for a moment, he actually had the evil thought of killing him and robbing him? He really wanted to mutter, "This treasure is fated with me!" and then go up and extract the soul of the other party. Although the other party didn't show any malice after fighting with him for a long time, a piece of Legendary armor that was comparable to the Enigma, Fortitude, and Chain of Honor was too tempting!
"Calm down, my student." The Archmage quickly advised, "It's very difficult to get rid of this kind of hot stuff. It's also very inconvenient for you to wear it. More importantly, this guy is not easy to deal with."
Phew... Alright, my teacher does have a point. Baiyi forcefully suppressed the malice that was gushing out of his heart.
Then, the Archmage added, "So, we just need to kidnap his practitioner. A person who can prepare such an armor for their own Soul Armature must be very rich. Let's just start with her."
So, this is the direction that you're correcting? You're not that much stronger than me, are you? Or should I say that you're even worse than me? We're master and disciple after all, aren't we from the Righteous Faction? Don't you think it's a good idea to get greedy at the sight of money?
"What are you thinking about? I used to rob the wealth of my neighbors all the time. Otherwise, how could my country be so prosperous? "The Archmage asked curiously.
What he said makes a lot of sense, Baiyi thought to himself. His gaze shifted from the walking golden mountain to the beautiful swordswoman.
However, at that moment, the walking Jinshan seemed to have sensed Baiyi's thoughts. Reaching out, he flicked away the dust on the surface of his armor and stood in front of the swordswoman again. "As long as I'm here, don't even think about touching Undine. Although you're indeed very strong, far stronger than I expected, but … I haven't used my full strength yet!"
Having said that, the runes on his armor suddenly lit up. At the same time, an overwhelming pressure gushed out from his body. With a speed and strength that was even more exaggerated than before, he pounced towards Baiyi. Almost in an instant, he was already in front of Baiyi. The black sword in his hand was also wrapped in a layer of green Chi Prowess. With a slash that was enough to tear the air apart, the sword slashed heavily towards Baiyi.
This guy actually enchanted his armor with a buff spell? I thought those runes were just for decoration! Baiyi thought. He did not expect his opponent to have another trick up his sleeves. The black gold was just too hard. It was almost impossible to engrave a magic formation on it. At the same time, due to its amazing energy absorption characteristics, enchantment was also impossible.
Then, the only explanation was that the runes were drawn with the blood of powerful magical creatures like the legendary white dragon … The blood of those creatures was a luxury that was not much cheaper than the black gold. The key point was that once the runes that were drawn with gold coins were used, they would lose their effectiveness and they would have to spend more money to draw them again …
That was why this guy activated the runes for a moment of pride. It was as if he was throwing money at Baiyi. For a moment, he felt like he was fighting against a gold vault. Isn't this guy a little too rich? The difference in equipment between the two of them, even if he included the 1000 gold coins that Baiyi had hidden in his stomach, was still too big. The battle between the two of them even gave Baiyi a sense of deja vu of a rich tycoon trampling on a poor player.
Fortunately, this was not a game where you would become stronger just by topping up money. In the face of the black Soul Armature's majestic attack, Baiyi did not choose to rely on his speed to dodge it. Instead, he immediately released a super short-distance teleportation spell to increase the distance between him and his opponent by a few meters. Without any hesitation, he continued to retreat.
Because the black Soul Armature had poured all of his Chi Prowess into that attack, even if the attack missed, the Chi Prowess in the long sword would explode in an instant, forming a dense Chi Blade that completely enveloped and covered the entire space. It was impossible for him to dodge it with just his speed alone.
Everything was just as he had expected. At that moment, the place where he was standing earlier was completely covered by the green Chi Blade, leaving not even the slightest gap. The dense Chi Blade seemed to have formed into a green flower, blooming with deadly and enchanting beauty. Because of the wind pressure caused by the high-speed movement, it was as if a tornado had appeared out of thin air, blowing away all the broken walls and tiles in the surroundings.
That was one of the signature skills of a Legendary Level Sword Saint, Blade Storm. It was a super powerful ultimate skill that was comprehended by the Swordsman during a deathmatch in the arena. Later on, it gradually became one of the signature skills of the Swordsman. After thousands of years of optimization and improvement, whether it was in terms of power or visual effect, it had become a lot stronger.
After the Blade Storm, the place where the two of them were standing previously had been completely cleared. The ground was also plowed by the Chi Blade and there was no longer any trace of its original appearance. It was as if the two of them had moved to a new battlefield.
The black Soul Armature slowly retracted the long sword in his hand. Looking at the black figure that was slowly emerging from the smoke and dust caused by the Blade Storm, he shrugged helplessly and asked, "Is this the Level 5 Teleportation Spell? How many more surprises do you want to bring me? You have the strength of at least a Master Level Warrior and a Master Level Sorcerer at the same time, but you're only at the Intermediate level? "
After saying that, he twisted his neck as if he was exercising his non-existent neck joint and continued, "There are too many mysteries about you. I can't wait to solve them. So please allow me to be a little shameless … Undine, haven't you seen enough?"
Undine's face suddenly showed an embarrassed and angry expression, expressing the helplessness and anger in her heart. Even so, her beauty did not diminish at all. In fact, it even added a little more charm to her. She was still so beautiful even when she was angry. If she did not have the status and strength she had today, she would probably be the type of person that perverts and hooligans liked to tease the most.
She really did not want to pay attention to her Soul Armature. When this guy started fighting, he had completely forgotten his real purpose. This should have been a pleasant business negotiation, right? How did it turn into this situation?
On one side, it was her partner that she had been with day and night, and on the other side, it was her partner that had gone from being pleasantly surprised to being shocked to becoming a target of recruitment. Just like that, the two stinky men had pushed the Butterfly Saint of Swords, Undine, into a particularly awkward situation.
However, what else could she do if she did not help her partner? Since he had even used a deadly killing move like the Blade Storm, it was destined that one of them must fall before they could start talking. Therefore, Undine had no choice but to reluctantly walk to her Soul Armature and take out two emerald long swords from the space pocket hidden on her waist.
