Chapter 67: Killing kanpolu
Each golden sword could kill dozens of creatures and even hundreds of nearby level 1 and level 2 creatures. The golden sword blades were like thousands of mosquitoes absorbing a glass of blood in just a few seconds.
Several attacks also came towards Lein, but were deflected directly by the countless swords around him. He was like a walking killing machine, with deadly attacks and very strong defenses.
"A very strong Player, it seems I've found an evenly matched duel opponent this time," not far from Lein's location, a star beast in the form of a kangaroo could be seen.
The kangaroo had a body that looked like clear crystal, and its large, muscular hands were incredibly thin at the ends, resembling the sharpest swords in the world. It stomped the ground forcefully and leaped high into the sky.
"Hey... I'm your opponent."
The kangaroo shouted loudly and landed right in front of Lein.
[Status]
Name: Kanpolu
Race: Crystal Kangaroo
Power Core: Star Beast
Rank: Solar Empowerment (Master)
"A Star Beast at the Solar Empowerment level? I'm curious how strong your body is."
Lein had noticed Kanpolu's arrival from the beginning, so he was prepared. The thousands of swords that had been scattered now converged and quickly aimed directly at Kanpolu.
"These little swords?"
Kanpolu's crystal body grew to a height of 20 meters. He saw the stream of thousands of swords coming at him without fear. His previously thin, sword-like hands now hardened and transformed into shield-like shapes.
"Come on..." shouted Kanpolu.
Some people around also watched the battle between Lein and Kanpolu. Whoever won would become a significant strength boost for one of the races.
"That player is terrifying, his aura surpasses the aura of the clan elders," said a Qi Foundation man to the elderly man beside him, a Qi Condensation cultivator.
"Yes, I think his talent is higher than the king's."
"Who do you think will win?"
Several discussions filled the air around the smaller battles near Lein and Kanpolu.
The time came. Lein's thousands of golden flying swords clashed with the large crystal shield in front of Kanpolu.
Tang... Ting...
The first few swords were deflected and fell. But because the number of swords coming was endless, small scratches began to form, and within seconds, they turned into cracks.
"What?" Kanpolu stared at the incoming swords in disbelief. He then felt a slight danger and tried to leap and retreat to catch his breath and devise a strategy.
Ugh...
His large body was suddenly blocked by an invisible force. After inspecting it, he found a transparent light barrier surrounding him. Around him, four giant golden blades formed the light barrier that trapped him. The light barrier seemed very strong and unbreakable.
"My body is weakening? What's happening?" Kanpolu felt something was wrong. He then attacked the light barrier with his powerful fists.
Boom... Boom...
"Very efficient for enemies who like to run and escape, hahaha," Lein laughed, watching Kanpolu's desperate attempts to break free from the prison he had created.
Skill 4: (Sword Heaven Prison) Summons a sword prison to trap enemies for 5 seconds. Reduces enemy attributes by 50%. Cooldown: 30 minutes.
Kanpolu kept attacking relentlessly. This time, his hands glowed, and each punch sent out powerful lightning strikes. But to his surprise, the lightning couldn't even leave a scratch on the light barrier.
Tang... Zap... Boom...
Like an impenetrable wall, every one of Kanpolu's attacks was absorbed without causing any damage.
Lein, observing from afar, didn't want to waste time. Since the duration of his Sky Sword Rain and Sword Heaven Prison skills was limited, he needed to act quickly.
Immediately, thousands of swords resumed their merciless assault on Kanpolu's body, stabbing his arms, thighs, chest, and other vital areas.
"Argh... No... Please, I surrender."
Kanpolu looked at Lein with horror this time. He humbled himself and discarded the ego he had shown earlier, begging for Lein's mercy. Never in his wildest dreams did he think he would be reduced to such a state, unable to retaliate against his opponent. He felt utterly humiliated.
Stab... Stab...
Lein didn't flinch. He continued directing the swords at Kanpolu.
"No..." Kanpolu screamed for the last time.
[Killed (Kanpolu - Solar Empowerment) exp 126,500 points, +1000 contribution]
Kanpolu's large body fell lifelessly, crashing into the ground nearby.
"Run..."
"Get away quickly."
Creatures on the Lowu race's side fled from where Lein stood. If a Tier-3 creature like Kanpolu could be killed within seconds, they, who were below Tier-3, stood no chance.
"So easy, hahaha," Lein said casually. He had killed a Tier-3 creature without using his golden talisman this time, proof that his power had significantly increased after advancing to Tier-3.
He then approached Kanpolu's body, searching for any storage rings or items he might have.
As Lein stood next to Kanpolu's body, the system displayed the option for extraction.
[Kanpolu's corpse can be extracted. Perform extraction?]
"Hmmm, very convenient," Lein said calmly and approved the extraction. By extracting, he could obtain body materials and items attached to the corpse.
In reality, there was a method to obtain materials from beast corpses or any bodies by manually skinning and dissecting them with the aid of spiritual energy. The difference with the system extraction was the greater quantity of materials. The downside, of course, was the more complicated process and the longer time required.
This method was used by several sects and clans to obtain materials from beast corpses.
[Performing extraction on Kanpolu's corpse - Solar Empowerment, obtained]
- Silver Storage Ring x1
- Crystal Skin x18
- High-grade Blood 12 Liters
- Crystal Bone x7
...
A series of extraction results appeared in the system notification.
"Whoa, high-grade items, making potions and advanced weapons will be much easier."
Lein saw several materials for alchemy and items useful for blacksmithing. He planned to collect and multiply them before giving them to the blacksmith and alchemist divisions in the city for further development.
"Why is it so quiet?" Lein said, seemingly unconcerned as he observed the now-empty surroundings.
