Heroes' Prison

Chapter 635 - 610 A very despicable method

"Whoosh!" The legendary belt suddenly burst into intense flames, scorching the cross blade.

The cross blade gradually turned red-hot, and the rust on its surface instantly melted away, revealing its original bronze appearance. The curvature of the blade was just right, and it faintly shimmered with a cold light, looking razor-sharp.

Finally, the legendary belt burned away completely, and its power was completely absorbed by the cross blade, restoring its might.

Huang Yi took out the previously acquired Bloodstained War Halberd, which had a slot just below the spearhead that was about the same width as the cross blade.

He pressed the cross blade firmly into the slot!

"Click!" Instantly, the cross blade was embedded, firmly combining with the long spear to become one. The power of the equipment also fused together.

Now, this weapon finally looked like a true war halberd. After assembling four parts, it was only one step away from its original form!

Huang Yi excitedly checked the attributes of this brand-new war halberd—

Item Description: I have control over a nation, yet I have no home. — Emperor Somerett

After collecting the four components, the attribute arrangement of the Bloodstained War Halberd underwent some subtle changes, with some additional attributes streamlined and others combined.

The biggest highlight is the appearance of a new additional attribute—All Attributes of Contract Partners +10%, which amounts to a 10% increase in dozens of various attributes.

This enhancement is terrifying, as it would make all his Contract Partners, whether they be the Barbarian God, Blood God, Little Dragon... any and all became 10% stronger in all attributes, becoming even more formidable.

His talent in the area of Contract Partners had always been strong. His Beast King Race also had a talent in this regard, improving the All Attributes of Contract Partners by 10%!

Additionally, his Nefalem’s Bloodline talent at level 90 was also related to Contract Partners, which could increase their Attack Power, Attack Speed, Health Points, and Defense Points by 30%, with attacks carrying an additional 30% Darkness-based damage, and the Experience Points required for the Contract Partners to level up reduced by 80%.

Such talents are generally found in Hunters, and other professions rarely have talents that improve Contract Partners. Now, Huang Yi, who was not a Hunter player, was similarly enjoying considerable bonuses in this area. His Contract Partners were already very powerful, such as the Demonic God Clone, based on the divine beings of the Demon Realm and uniquely owned by him in the entire world. With these improvements, they would become even more terrifying.

Huang Yi gripped the brand-new war halberd tightly, feeling the powerful war intent within it, as if it yearned to immediately join the battlefield and wield this halberd to slaughter exuberantly. With just a single sweep, the halberd could likely sever the heads of a large group of people. It was truly a massive killing weapon.

Now, this war halberd could be considered the strongest piece of legendary equipment he had ever seen, far surpassing other legendary tiers, and even stronger than the Semi-Epic, Thunder Left Hand. It was just one component away from reaching the epic equipment tier, teetering on the brink of ascending to an entirely new stage.

At that moment, Huang Yi noticed the item description of the halberd—"I controlled a nation, yet had no home." From this, it was apparent that Emperor Somerett must have led a tragic life, probably wandering alone through the empty opulent sleeping quarters on such deep nights, indifferent to the numerous beautiful palace maidens. When power is magnified to its extreme, life becomes empty, to the point where even a small home cannot be established.

"Nation!" Huang Yi murmured as he saw these words. He had long desired to establish a nation, just like Dragon Spike did.

If the greatest advantage of religion lies in the spiritual realm, in collecting the power of faith, then the greatest benefit of a nation is in terms of land area. The territory of a nation is vastly larger than that of guild territories. It’s a real national domain, with countless cities within its boundaries all under the jurisdiction of the nation, where every city lord has to pay taxes and the king is the supreme ruler of the territory, owning all its splendid landscapes.

The reason Dragon Spike was known as the Dragon Emperor was that he was the sovereign of the Dragon Nation. At present, the size of Dragon Nation was roughly equivalent to two Germanys in the real world, making it the largest power in the eastern region of Hero’s Continent.

To create a nation, one would need the Imperial Jade Seal, an item that only emperor-level bosses could drop, and Huang Yi just happened to have one. It belonged to the Sand Thief King, trapped at the Golden Holy Dragon’s treasure spot.

The Sand Thief King, a Holy Domain Warrior over level 170, although injured and significantly weakened, was not yet on his last breath. Huang Yi would still face some difficulty confronting him. Moreover, as the treasure spot of the Golden Holy Dragon was a special area, places like relics, treasure spots, and lairs of the mighty are unique and considered private domains. Such places cannot be claimed with subsidiary battle flags, so Huang Yi could not rely on a Territory Guardian’s help to attack the Sand Thief King and had to confront it himself.

Now, having reached level 146, the gap between him and the Sand Thief King was no longer insurmountable, and the time to slay the king was nearly ripe.

Huang Yi decided to set off immediately to strike down the Sand Thief King. However, he was currently afflicted with the Slaughter Curse, which decreased all his attributes by 50% unless he killed a hundred players a day to temporarily restore his full attributes.

He resolved to first kill a hundred players to briefly regain his strength. He needed to ensure that while killing players, he wouldn’t increase his sin value. Therefore, he had to use a rather sly method.

Subsequently, Huang Yi rose to his feet and left the Blue Rose Garden, headed for the City of Roses’ Teleportation Circle. After a few transfers, he arrived near the Demonic Beast City at the Demonic Beast Mountain Range.

Recently, he had set out from this place in search of the Dragon Tomb, and he had also met two friends, Ghost Shadow and Ghost Speech. Now back here again, he felt an overwhelming sense of the unpredictability of life.

At this time, he had already changed his name to Big Baddie, a second identity that was usable in both his incarnation and original form. He didn’t conceal his information; anyone who checked would immediately know his name was Big Baddie.

He glanced at his friends list and saw that Ghost Speech was online, so he immediately sent him a message, "Buddy, do me a favor and spread the word to the sub-branches of Hall of Famous Generals under Guo Jia, Sword Tide Guild under Listening to the Rain and Comprehending the Sword Sound, and the Fierce Tiger Gang under Soul Destroyer. Tell them Big Baddie is near the West City Gate, holding the ultimate treasure obtained from the relics of the Blood Empire. Whoever kills me will get to loot it."

It didn’t take long for Ghost Speech to reply to the message, "Bro, you’re back in Warcraft City? I can send the message for you right now, but are you sure it’s okay to reveal your location like this? Once they gang up on you, unless you have the ability to withstand group attacks like the God of Slaughter, no matter how strong you are, you’re as good as dead!"

"No worries, just go ahead and spread the word. The more people that come, the better. I’m worried that if some of them die, they won’t dare to send more people after me," Huang Yi replied with a slight smile.

His strategy was to bait others into attacking him. As long as someone else attacked first, he would be in a legitimate state of self-defense, which allowed him to kill without gaining any Sin Value.

Last time, in the ruins of the Blood Empire, he’d managed to nab the ultimate treasure right under the noses of several powers, leading them to chase after him. But he had easily escaped from the underground palace, and the pursuit had fizzled out. Now that he had reemerged with the treasure in hand, there would surely be those unable to resist the temptation and would come after him.

Before long, Huang Yi arrived at the West City Gate of Warcraft City, where there was a bustling crowd. He walked around conspicuously, even activating the brilliant effects of the Legendary Cloak, which shimmered and dazzled like a beacon in the night. While outsiders couldn’t see the detailed information of his equipment, the magnificent effect of the cloak alone signified it was Legendary Equipment, which was bound to attract those with ill intentions to attack and rob him.

Soon enough, Huang Yi felt the various gazes from the crowd; envy, jealousy, greed – all sorts of looks were fixated on his cloak.

"Huh? This guy’s name is Big Baddie! Isn’t this the same guy that was hunted by several forces in the ruins of the Blood Empire? How does he dare to appear here now, and so blatantly showing off the effect of Legendary Equipment? He’s courting death!"

"Yes! If he were an expert like Listening to the Rain and Comprehending the Sword Sound, A Lifetime in a Day, Soul Destroyer, or Guo Jia, then naturally there’s no need to hide equipment effects; others wouldn’t dare to try to rob him. But flaunting his Legendary Equipment, as someone so unknown, isn’t that just asking for trouble?"

The crowd buzzed with conversation, looking at Huang Yi as if he were a fool.

Some even quietly encircled Huang Yi, seemingly planning to kill him and loot his equipment.
