Chapter 318 Body of Thunder Endowment
At the Magic Conference of the southern region.
It was over for the professionals of the City of Dawn.
But it was not the end of the world.
After Irene removed the conference's barrier, Scarbrow explained Andros' transformation. He stated that Andros had already died by the time he entered the conference grounds.
The fake warrior was the Viscount of Darkness in disguise.
He also stated that he had investigated the Viscount of Darkness, who wanted to transform into a dark creature after being the champion of the Magic Conference. The professionals of the southern region would be ashamed that they were inferior to the dark creatures.
Scarbrow reassured that the Viscount of Darkness was under their control, and no mishaps would occur.
He added that the organizers wanted to make use of the Viscount of Darkness to test the geniuses in the first Magic Conference…
The Lord of Dawn, William Blackleaf, did not disappoint. He made the Viscount of Darkness reveal himself, finally defeating the dark creature.
After some distortion of facts, Andros no longer appeared as a traitorous messenger of the Dark World. He became a victim of the incident, and the Palace of Darkness was exonerated.
The Lord of Dawn, William Blackleaf, became the hero of the Advanced professionals in the southern region.
It was him, who had shattered the soul of the powerful Viscount of Darkness, and forced him to immediately escape to the Dark World.
Scarbrow gave his explanations from morning until nightfall.
He spoke hundreds of thousands of words that were comparable to a novella. With his brainwashing techniques, for the entire day, he tried and managed to convince everyone that white was black and vice versa.
Only then, were the befuddled contestants allowed to leave.
Scarbrow clearly stated the three main points.
The Viscount of Darkness was powerful, but he was under their grasp. So, the situation had nothing to do with the Palace of Darkness.
The Lord of Dawn was even more powerful since he had defeated the Viscount of Darkness.
Although, the prince had used powers above his limit, so he was unable to continue fighting. But due to the prowess he exhibited, he was entitled to the rewards of a champion.
Scarbrow clearly indicated that the Palace of Darkness had nothing to do with the Dark World.
He shifted the main focus to the defeat of the Viscount of Darkness by William.
When the professionals of the City of Dawn returned to their hut, they kept very quiet. Burned Cinder looked at William. They thought that William had reaped a lot of benefits, but he also had to bear with some losses.
William had formed a deep-rooted enmity with the Viscount of Darkness.
Hence, the City of Dawn would have to fight against the hordes of dark creatures.
Everyone had to fight the dark creatures sooner and later. They were not afraid of the war.
They were just fearful of being targeted by the powerful Dark World.
"Scarbrow has a problem. He was blowing the trumpet of Prince William as though he were attracting attention to his left hand…"
Diablo rolled his eyes and, intently looked at William's shimmering left hand.
Tsk, tsk!
"Yes, that sly old fox is eyeing William's left hand."
"Cut the crap," William said.
He hesitated before continuing. "Haven't you heard? My left hand is the Left Hand of God. Speak your mind."
"Gosh, is that a God's left hand?"
"Yes!"
"Oh my God! Are you a reincarnation of a God?"
William took out a bottle of fruit wine and tasted a sip. He shook his head. "Not really!"
"Could it be the Hand of Thunder God?"
"Yes!"
"What the f**k? That was the left hand of a main God." Alec inhaled a gust of cool air.
"Let me touch it and feel the aura of a God." Burned Cinder wanted to be a God. He immediately held William's left hand and started touching it.
"It's very smooth. There is no difference between it and the hands of the prostitutes," Burned Cinder said as he caressed the hand.
The quiet William snapped his finger.
"Ah…"
Blinding rays of lightning flashed.
Burned Cinder convulsed for a long time before he spat out green smoke. "I was wrong. It's a different feeling."
Diablo and Alec got close to William so that they could also touch the God's left hand.
Diablo was shameless. He took William's left hand and rubbed it all over his body in a bid to have the aura of the God.
A punch was thrown!
Crack!
A strong current burst out.
Bang!
Diablo shot up into the sky like a shot from a cannon, screaming in pain…
After three to five seconds passed, he descended from the sky, and a large pit appeared on the ground.
Alec swallowed hard and silently sat by the side. He decided not to touch William's prohibited hand.
Annie did not ask any questions. She already knew about William's Left Hand of the Thunder God. He had told her that the Left Hand of the Thunder God possessed special powers, but the side effects of using it were devastating.
She was observing if anything was missing from William…
The little princess examined him carefully and secretly said to herself. "It's strange. I didn't find any traces of side effects."
Her eyes widened as she imagined the worst…
That would be horrible.
But Annie was too embarrassed to ask…
After all, the little fairy was still very shy.
William noticed that his companions were quiet. He sighed and said, "We can't fight anymore. We'll return home tomorrow. When the rewards are given out, the top four power centers will send them over."
"Aren't you going to fight for the championship? With the help of the healing properties of the Life Potion, it shouldn't be a problem for you," Burned Cinder asked as he was combing his electrified hair.
"It was a forbidden use of the powers. Don't you understand? I have become blind." William pointed at his normal-looking eyes.
Diablo did not believe his lord. He waved his hand in front of him.
Bang!
A punch was thrown.
Diablo was sent flying back.
After some time, Diablo caressed his stomach as he came over. His face looked horrible as he exclaimed, "You lied!"
"I'm really blind. But I'm a soul mage, so I can use Soul Perception. Normal movements are no problem for me.
"But during a fight, I'm easily injured when using Soul Perception. My fighting range is also drastically reduced.
"Once the enemy goes outside a hundred meters from me, I can only rely on my sixth sense. There is no way to determine his location," William explained.
Everyone finally understood why William had given up his goal of obtaining the title of Champion.
The little princess looked very sad.
William snapped his fingers and comforted Annie, "But don't worry, I have found a replacement."
"What is it?" Annie doubtfully asked.
"Eyes of the Thunder God."
Everyone gaped in astonishment. They did not know what to say.
They wanted to ask William why his standards were so high.
Blind eyes were not incurable.
William was a prince, after all.
He could look for a powerful mage like Moses and make use of a bad professional whose eyes could be taken out. Transplanting the eyes would be a possible solution.
It was not a big deal to transplant a pair of eyes in the magical world…
Was William going to look for the body parts of the Gods for replacements?
"Heh! You don't understand. People are different." William stroked his chin. He recalled that the eyes of the Thunder God's statue were very impressive.
The eyes had been very intimidating towards William and Burned Cinder. They had caused the duo to pass out for 30 seconds. Burned Cinder had passed out for an even longer time, as his Mental Strength was not strong.
William was sure that those things were the Eyes of Thunder God.
He did not know why had the body of the Thunder God become individual segments…
Perhaps, it was to prevent the God from reviving. It could be due to other unknown reasons too.
William decided not to think about other matters.
He wanted to claim the rewards of the S+ mission.
William slowly placed his right hand on Annie's thigh…
He wanted to borrow some luck.
Whether it was successful or not, he had to try…
He was fortunate.
Perhaps, because of his blindness, but the compassionate princess took pity on him and did not slap his hand.
Heck, no wonder the blind fortune-tellers could always obtain sexual favors and money…
[In the first southern region Magic Conference, you are ranked fourth among the Advanced professionals.]
[Mission Difficulty: S+]
[Mission Completion: 80%]
[Mission Evaluation…]
[Mission has been successfully evaluated]
[Mission Reward: 800,000 experience points]
[Mission Reward: Endowment Upgrade Card x1]
[Mission Reward: Equipment Upgrade Card x1 (Advanced → Grandmaster)]
[Mission Reward: Endowment 'Torso of Thunder']
[Unclaimed Mission Reward: ??? (Please obtain the reward from the organizers)]
"Gosh, are the rewards of S+ missions so powerful?" William released his grasp of the princess' thigh. He did not know whether it was Annie's luck or the nature of the reward.
He bypassed the Endowment Upgrade Card to focus his attention on the 'Torso of Thunder'.
What kind of endowments did he currently have?
[Handsome], [Advanced Health Points], [Advanced Magic Power], [Fury of Thunder], [Power of Thunder], [Beginner's Levitation], [Saint Spirit's Protection], and [Man of Steel].
The Fury of Thunder and the Power of Thunder were all thunder endowments.
But the Torso of Thunder was very impressive.
That was the awesome endowment that thunder element professionals should possess.
Although the Torso of Thunder and the Thunder equipment set's Thunder Body were similar, the former was an endowment, while the latter was a special skill of the equipment. Both were different and could not be compared.
[Torso of Thunder: Your thunder attack will increase by 1000 while your thunder defense will increase by 1000. Your thunder affinity will increase by 30%]
It was not a big deal to have 1000 points added for thunder attack and defense.
But the 30% increment of the thunder affinity was crucial.
The endowment affinity in the Gods' game had to be properly understood.
It meant that William's thunder damage, defense, attributes, and all thunder-related skills were increased by 30%.
It was awesome!
Even though it was not as impressive as the endowments of the reincarnation of Thunder God, William was on the path of the Thunder God.
Ahem!
The situation right now was that William was walking on a single-lane bridge with the reincarnation of Thunder God. It remained to be seen who would be pushed off to drown in the sea of thunder.
"By the way, there is also an Endowment Upgrade Card. The Torso of Thunder can be upgraded to 'Body of Thunder'!" William mischievously laughed as he activated the card.
Gosh!
It is brilliant.
The endowment can be upgraded.
Oh my god!
It is awesome, Bro.
