Heroes' Prison

Chapter 934 - 882: Equipment Duplication?

At this moment, the enemy troops were utterly shaken by Sharp Sword’s Barbarian God.

None of them had anticipated that Sharp Sword’s Barbarian God would possess such Divine Power, sending Dante, Fuchan Fenrao, and T.N.T flying away with a single clash.

Although this partly stemmed from Dante and the others underestimating the Barbarian God and failing to defend themselves against its sudden appearance, its incredible might was undeniable regardless of circumstance.

The remaining top-notch Heavenly Domain experts in the invading army quickly reacted, scattering in all directions to evade Sharp Sword’s Barbarian God, swinging their weapons and launching attacks to test its limits.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!" The attacks from all sides were mere probing strikes, causing minor damage. When they landed on the Barbarian God, its body shook slightly, but there were no visible fatal wounds. Instead, the strikes roused its feral fury. Roaring loudly, it lunged at the Pope, its six muscular arms whirling ferociously.

The Pope, a formidable expert, was unexpectedly locked in battle by the Barbarian God.

On the other side, Sharp Sword’s figure flickered and transformed into a black blur, darting straight toward Dante.

At this point, Dante was completely stunned. He hadn’t even figured out what was happening when his chest took a heavy punch, sending him flying uncontrollably. While airborne, a sudden sharp pain erupted in his abdomen. Lowering his head to look, he saw a longsword piercing through his body—a sword he recognized immediately as Sharp Sword’s own weapon!

Sharp Sword’s strike carried a decisive killing intent, releasing an incredibly powerful single-target skill with tremendous Attack Power!

Dante didn’t even have the chance to dodge and suffered severe damage, causing his Health Points to plummet!

However, he was shielded by the Green Light cast by Ganges, which mitigated much of the damage, keeping him from dying outright.

Without hesitation, Dante activated Blink, instantly disappearing from his position and flashing far away.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" Sharp Sword swung his longsword three times, firing three streams of Rainbow Sword Qi that roared toward Dante in the distance!

Dante quickly dodged, his body moving at lightning speed, swift as a bolt. Two streams of Sword Qi grazed his skin, their Vigor cutting sharply. But ultimately, he failed to evade the last stream, which struck him ruthlessly, dropping his Health Points to below 10%!

"Thud!" At that moment, blood suddenly spurted uncontrollably from Dante’s chest, and a dagger tip emerged from it!

Dragon Spike’s shadowy figure materialized behind him!

With this strike, Dante’s remaining 10% Health Points instantly hit zero!

The entire field stared dumbfounded at the scene!

Everything had happened so quickly—from the Barbarian God sending Dante flying, to Sharp Sword’s ambush, to Dragon Spike’s sneak attack—all of it took place in a flash, too fast for anyone to fully process!

"Whoosh!" Dante’s body suddenly accelerated, blurring into a black shadow as he escaped into the distance at a speed nearly invisible to the naked eye!

Despite consecutive blows, Dante still managed to escape!

Out of the world’s ten billion players, only twenty or thirty are Super-First Masters. Each of them is nearly impossible to kill under normal circumstances. While Dante may not compare to the Pope or Mage Emperor, as a Super-First Master, killing him was like piercing the heavens!

"What a pity!" Countless players from the Hero Legion sighed in frustration, watching Dante’s retreating figure. Sharp Sword and Dragon Spike’s coordinated assault had caught their enemy off guard. Now that Dante was far gone and the other top-notch experts in the enemy army had regrouped, finishing Dante off was next to impossible.

"It’s such a shame! Big Brother, if you were up there fighting, you could’ve finished him with a Blood Strike, delivering the final blow." Xiao Chunzi said regretfully, clutching Huang Yi’s hand.

Just as her words fell, Dante, who was furiously fleeing, suddenly erupted with a stream of blood from his chest and plummeted from the skies, becoming nothing but a lifeless corpse in moments.

"This... what’s going on here?" Everyone exchanged bewildered glances. Dante had clearly escaped—why had he suddenly dropped dead?

It couldn’t have been Dragon Spike’s sneak attack, as Dragon Spike hadn’t activated Invisibility after his earlier strike and stood visibly nearby.

Huang Yi’s gaze locked intensely onto Dante’s corpse. The scene of Dante’s death was eerily familiar—the inexplicable burst of blood from his chest with no visible attacker. This particular manner of death could only be caused by the Attached Skill of his Bloodstained War Halberd: Blood Strike, a skill that delivers damage regardless of distance.

But Huang Yi hadn’t made a move!

Someone else had cast Blood Strike!

Almost instantly, Huang Yi thought of someone and instinctively looked up at Sharp Sword outside the Heavenly Curtain Barrier.

Sharp Sword, in turn, glanced downward at Huang Yi, the corner of his lips curling into a mysterious smile.

At that moment, a vast, resonant voice rang out across the heavens—

"[Continental Notice]: [Sword Emperor] has slain [Dante]."

This Continental Notice finally confirmed the killer—it was Sharp Sword!

It was clear now that Sharp Sword had used the Blood Strike skill to kill Dante!

"Can he really duplicate equipment?" Huang Yi’s mind roiled with astonishment. When recruiting Sharp Sword, Sharp Sword’s first condition had been for Huang Yi to reveal the exact acquisition details of all his equipment. At the time, Huang Yi suspected Sharp Sword might have a way to replicate gear, but dismissed it as unthinkable.

Now, it seemed the suspicion might be true!

Blood Strike was a unique skill on the Epic Equipment Bloodstained War Halberd, impossible to obtain from any other source. Yet Sharp Sword had undeniably used it, suggesting he could replicate equipment and possessed his own Bloodstained War Halberd!

Nonetheless, Huang Yi remained puzzled. Sharp Sword had wielded a longsword throughout, without ever switching weapons. To activate Blood Strike, one would typically need to equip the Bloodstained War Halberd, but Sharp Sword hadn’t done so.

"Sharp Sword harbors too many secrets!" Huang Yi thought with a heavy heart as his gaze fixed firmly on the figure in the sky, feeling an immense pressure.

At least for now, Sharp Sword stood on his side. The stronger Sharp Sword was, the better it was for Huang Yi.

And so, Dante died, his life taken within seconds, devoid of clear explanation, all at Sharp Sword’s hands.

The invading army was shocked, but their fury erupted like Thunder shortly afterward.

Four newly arrived Soldiers of Annihilation finally made their move!

Aries raised a Priest’s Staff, gently waved it, and released a plume of gray-black mist toward the five top-notch Heavenly Domain experts of the Hero Legion!

Taurus and Gemini, both melee fighters, surged forward—one wielding a Knight’s Lance and the other a longsword—transforming into twin phantoms that charged straight at Sharp Sword.

Meanwhile, Cancer brandished a massive black bow, firing two black arrows with a sharp whistle, targeting Gentleman and Yang Yuheng.

The other top-notch experts also unleashed their skills, mounting a coordinated assault against the Hero Legion’s Heavenly Domain players!

"Boom!" Sharp Sword swung his longsword, single-handedly holding off Ronald, Taurus, and Gemini, without faltering in the slightest. His strength was astonishing, a stark contrast to his earlier performance, revealing his true prowess.

But the invading army had an overwhelming advantage in numbers. The remaining eight enemies swarmed toward Dao Feng, Yang Yuheng, and Gentleman, including two exceptionally powerful Soldiers of Annihilation.

Overwhelmed by such numbers, the Hero Legion appeared completely defenseless, a scenario akin to an avalanche crushing eggs!

"Dao Feng, it’s time for you to reveal your true strength!" Sharp Sword shouted to Dao Feng amidst the chaos.
