Chapter 156-1: The Shell of the President of the Direct Vision Association, the Mightiest Mage! (1)
“Three-Headed Lion… sorry about this!”
[You take out the Brass Whistle and blow it at your lips…]
[You cannot summon two types of creatures at the same time!]
[With a crisp whistle, you summon the fierce and burly Corrupted Three-Headed Lion.]
[The form of the Battle Angel – Valkyrie dissipates into the void…]
[The Corrupted Three-Headed Lion appears at your side. It bares its fangs viciously at the Grand Scholar behind you, then turns its six eyes toward the colossal shape faintly visible in the mist.]
[It then gives you a complicated look, its gaze deep and unreadable. Before you can issue a battle command, it suddenly charges at the Veiled Aberration Overlord…]
[Its form vanishes into the mist. Soon after, you hear its roars mixing with the behemoth’s deafening footsteps.]
[The massive, deformed figure in the mist begins to move, heading in a certain direction, you know it’s chasing after the fleeing Three-Headed Lion…]
“This little guy’s really got good instincts. Already learned to run on autopilot…”At this moment, Lin Xun actually felt a bit of sorrow for the Three-Headed Lion.
He quickly shook his head, clearing his mind of distractions.
Time was tight. He couldn’t waste a second. Finding the President of the Direct Vision Association was the top priority!
[You’re about to head to the ruins with the Knowledge-Seeking Direct Vision Association Grand Scholar, but unexpectedly, it sneers coldly and refuses to go with you to find the President.]
[It bluntly states that now, with your powerful doll no longer by your side, your strength alone is nowhere near enough to make it do your bidding.]
[It threatens you to immediately hand over the Beacon of the Brass Carriage and transfer command of the carriage to it, otherwise, don’t blame it for being ruthless!]
[Do you want to gift the Beacon of the Brass Carriage to it?]
Damn! This bastard turned on him faster than flipping a page.
Furious to the point of laughter, Lin Xun opened his inventory and clicked the item.
[You take out a scroll. The parchment seems to be made from the skin of some legendary creature. A terrifying thunderous power coils around the edges, as if once torn open, the wild lightning inside would annihilate everything!]
[The Knowledge-Seeking Direct Vision Association Grand Scholar freezes, its expression stiff. It hurriedly explains, like changing faces, that it was only joking just now, nothing serious! It’ll take you to the ruins to find the President right away!]
[As it speaks, afraid that you might strike it down in anger, it immediately bolts forward at full speed to lead the way.]
[Soon, you both arrive at the ruins of the association building. The Knowledge-Seeking Direct Vision Association Grand Scholar points ahead in shock and suspicion at the mound of broken rubble, piled like a small mountain.]
[It quickly explains to you that the President is underneath that pile. When it escaped earlier, there were still some gaps below the rubble, and one could crawl in and out by curling up.]
[Maybe the Veiled Aberration Overlord passed over the ruins just now and stomped the little mountain tighter, causing the gaps to seal shut.]
[It hurriedly advises that if you want to find the President now, you’ll have to move the rubble first. This is absolutely a massive undertaking, impossible to finish in a short time.]
[While the Veiled Aberration Overlord hasn’t returned yet, it’s better to head back to the carriage with it now, otherwise, when the time comes, you might not even be able to escape…]
[Do you want to retreat and return to the carriage for now?]
The Three-Headed Lion’s speed was far inferior to the behemoth.
Although the death log for the Three-Headed Lion hadn’t shown up yet, the time left for action was likely running out fast!
The situation before him was just as the Grand Scholar had described.
If he wanted to move the mountain of rubble to find the President, it would take at least ten days to half a month. It was impossible to do quickly.
But to just leave now with nothing accomplished, Lin Xun was not willing.
What if he left, and the behemoth found the President beneath the rubble and devoured him… then the President’s Shell would be gone for good.
His mind raced, and he quickly came up with a plan!
[You possess the Shell of the Corrupted Earth Giant!]
Quickly, you open the panel and activate the Shell Talent of the Earth Giant, enlarging your body to its maximum size!
[Your body swells as if in a gust of wind, and you soon become a colossal giant nearly thirty meters tall!]
[The mountain-like pile of rubble before you now seems like nothing more than a small mound.]
[You swing your now-enlarged Ancient Dragonfang Greatclub. With a thunderous boom, the rubble explodes in all directions!]
[In just a few swings, the small mound is flattened, revealing a faint point of light beneath.]
[You crouch your massive body and lower your head to look. It’s a Knowledge Barrier, within which lies a frail figure collapsed on the ground. Below its knees, both legs have vanished, the mangled flesh barely concealing the stark white of exposed bone.]
[Your summoned creature, Corrupted Three-Headed Lion, has died!]
Lin Xun rejoiced at seeing the President, but the death notice of the Three-Headed Lion instantly dampened his mood.
[The Knowledge-Seeking President of the Direct Vision Association sees the Grand Scholar who fled alone now returning with a giant he’s never seen before to save him. His expression is deeply conflicted.]
[With difficulty, he raises his hand and dispels the Knowledge Barrier, gesturing for you to quickly take him away from this place…]
Lin Xun knew time was running out. The behemoth could return at any moment.
Clenching his jaw, he shrank his size back to normal and equipped the Dancer’s Hidden Blade onto the Earth Giant.
[Your body shrinks, reverting to average human size in an instant.]
[You look at the President of the Direct Vision Association, collapsed and dragging two severed legs, and without a word, you step forward and lift him up.]
[The Knowledge-Seeking President of the Direct Vision Association gazes at you with gratitude. Then his two differently-colored monstrous eyes widen, his lips tremble, but he cannot speak a word.]
[The light in his eyes dims. His head droops lifelessly…]
[You draw the Hidden Blade from his chest and flick the stained blood off with a wave.]
[You have defeated the Knowledge-Seeking President of the Direct Vision Association. A massive amount of experience has been gained!]
[The power within the Shell begins to surge. The Shell level of Corrupted Earth Giant has increased. Current Shell Level: 43]
[You have obtained Fading Chunk Spirit Essence of Insight ×1]
[You have obtained Direct Vision Association President Badge (Item)]
[You have obtained Eyeball of the Abyss Pleasure Demon (Epic+ Item)]
[You have obtained Eyeball of the Ancient Crimson Dragon King (Epic+ Item)]
[You look at the disabled Shell of the President…]
[The Knowledge-Seeking President of the Direct Vision Association: a tall, slender elder, was the most powerful and influential figure in Sophia City. He commanded the city’s most powerful organization, the Direct Vision Association. Sadly, this once lofty figure has been reduced to a cripple. Cause of death: a piercing strike through the left chest. Compatibility: 113% (+45%)]
[Do you want to possess this Shell?]
Lin Xun took a deep breath and discarded the other stripped-down Grand Scholar Shell.
Then, without hesitation, he pressed ‘Yes’!
