The Knight from the Fairytales

Chapter 79: Claiming Rewards

The night was deep, yet the moonlight was bright. How wondrous this world was. Darkness did not exist, because the bright night light could illuminate everything clearly, just like during the Mid-Autumn Festival—the moon was not only full but also radiant.

Except for some specific areas where moonlight could not penetrate.

At this moment, the Prince, facing the moonlight, had one hand on his stomach. Directly ahead was the toilet. He was currently assessing and comforting himself.

For some reason, after dinner—to be more precise, just as he was about to fall asleep, feeling a bit drowsy—his stomach suddenly started hurting.

By the time he ran to the toilet, his stomach had calmed down again. Seeing nothing serious, he had just returned to his room and lain down when his stomach started rumbling again. This cycle repeated several times. The Prince now only felt he must have contracted some illness.

Or perhaps someone had cursed him. So, the Prince not only had to guard against his own stomach but also summoned some physicians and wizards.

The mixed treatments from both sides left the Prince feeling utterly tormented.

The physician stated that the Prince had a condition of accumulated blood. As long as the problematic stagnant blood in his body was drained, he would be fine. So, he suggested bloodletting therapy. Then, he went ahead and stuck a needle into the Prince's stomach.

After the blood had mostly flowed out, if it still hurt, there was only one final move left: take a steel needle and a hammer and drive it down from the top of his head.

"Hammer a nail into my head? That nail is almost as long as my arm! What era is this? Still using such ancient therapies? I shouldn't have believed you. You must be trying to get revenge on me, you quack! Guards, guards! Get him out of here!"The old wizard indicated that to save the Prince, they needed to get serious. So, he brewed a bowl of medicine using the Five Poisons.

"Your Highness, I suspect there might be something in your stomach. But it's fine. Just drink this;

it will definitely poison it to death."

The Prince looked at the offered medicinal soup. The tail of one of the Five Poisons, a scorpion, was still floating on top. Just as he was about to drink it, he suddenly reacted.

"If I drink this, the thing in my stomach might be gone, but what about me?"

"Ah, that's just a side effect."

"A side effect? Good, very good. Then I'll chop you up first!"

After this ordeal, the Prince felt utterly drained. What followed was rage. He drove both quacks out the door and had them meticulously chopped into mincemeat.

But then his stomach started hurting again. The Prince had no choice but to take off his shirt. "This is just a trial! I am destined to become the most evil person. How can I fall here? Tomorrow is the critical moment of the plan. No matter what, I cannot fall. I still have ideals to fulfill!"

The next morning.

Elsa handled a large piece of bread, took out a knife to cut two slices, then spread the honey gifted by nature on them. Beihai felt this stuff was sickeningly sweet.

Just as they were eating breakfast, a cloud of blue smoke billowed in, and then Aladdin's Lamp made a dazzling entrance.

The moment this blue genie appeared, he couldn't contain his excitement. "Haven't seen you for a day, did you miss me? I've perfectly completed the mission, even exceeded it. You have no idea how much that Prince is hated. Not even one doctor was willing to treat him;

instead, they all tried to harm him secretly. Unfortunately, he saw through it."

As he spoke, he unceremoniously grabbed bread from the table and started eating, not treating himself as an outsider at all, showing zero sense of boundaries.

"Hey, by the way, when are we taking action?"

Aladdin's Lamp was naturally excited. Its first mission was finally about to be completed. It was finally no longer a useless old thing.

"Let's act quickly. That Prince is very weak now. I stirred him up so much he can't even stand steady on his legs. Honestly, when I came back, I even thought about picking him up and shaking him. Unfortunately, his reaction was a bit too strong, so I didn't manage it."

Seeing Aladdin so excited, still looking like he was on a high, it seemed he had really messed with that Prince badly yesterday.

"Don't worry. From what you say, the other side will definitely need to recover some mobility before coming out. So, let's finish this breakfast first."

Just as Beihai thought, the Prince, whose legs could barely stand straight, only reappeared in the Heroes' line of sight after resting for most of the day.

And when he appeared, he led troops with him. The cruel Prince's reputation could spread, naturally with the help of his bunch of soldiers.

Those warriors who came to challenge him were in for a rough time. After all, their ranks were uneven, even lacking discipline. If you equated each of them to a Prince, then no one could command anyone. Not to mention the mix of good and bad among them. With just one cavalry charge, the Heroes' formation was shattered.

The cruel Prince was determined to vent all the grievances he suffered last night. Now, those Heroes were in for it.

After assessing the enemy's combat power, Beihai made a decision. He was going to claim his rewards.

For so long, apart from some Attribute Points, the most important things were the rare special abilities. To be precise, he coveted them.

After all, no matter how powerful his martial arts were, the key point was they lacked special effects.

He opened his System panel, thinking of adding a few points to Strength first. But looking at that fully maxed-out 9999 attribute board...

Beihai proceeded to claim all the mission rewards. Soon, pleasant sounds came through.

"Congratulations on obtaining Invincible Golden Body. After use, your entire body turns golden. Any form of attack will pass right through your body. Cooldown is four seconds. Golden light duration is five seconds."

"Congratulations on obtaining Paladin's Domain. After use, it restores injuries, status, and magic power for friendly forces and allies. Fallen heroic spirits can also be revived. Extra note: If you wish, the enemy side also enjoys the domain effects. Domain duration is ten seconds. Restoration cooldown time is five seconds."

Two more skills were added to his arsenal. And as long as his hand speed was fast enough, he could have unlimited firepower. The only pity was that while these things had special effects, the first one, Invincible Golden Body, had somewhat lackluster effects.

The latter definitely had effects, but they were unfortunately healing effects. Anyone who didn't know might think he was dabbling as a priest. However, that final extra note... wasn't this openly telling him to torment the other side?

After obtaining abilities, being able to resist using them would truly make one a saint.

Watching the Prince wreak havoc, charging in and out seven times, Beihai directly activated the Healing Domain. Soon, within his line of sight, all injured Heroes got up from the ground.

Some were also frantically feeling their chests, seemingly unable to figure out what was going on.
