Chapter 33: Defeating Black Blade, Boss-Level Bounty
Villains die from talking too much, and monsters die from being too smart.
Soul Master: Black Blade was definitely an intelligent monster. From his few words, Su Mu had already found his weakness.
Su Mu said, “Black Blade, the Scarlet King has already completed the research on the equipment. The weapon I’m using is in the hands of everyone in the Scarlet King’s territory. Your plan has already failed.”
Upon hearing this, Black Blade’s body began to flicker with terrifying black flames. Even the long blade in his hand trembled.
“Impossible! Humans cannot represent the Scarlet King! Your weapon is just an accident!”
Su Mu knew that mere words would have little effect on Black Blade. Therefore, he resolutely pulled out the Scarlet Spirit Orb.
The Scarlet Spirit Orb glowed with a crimson light, which looked especially ominous in Black Blade’s eyes.
“Scarlet Spirit Orb! Human, is what you say true?”
Black Blade’s mind became chaotic. The human in front of him holding the Scarlet Spirit Orb must be recognized by the Scarlet Clan. If such undead-restraining weapons were in the hands of every member of the Scarlet Clan, their plan would undoubtedly fail!
While Black Blade was lost in these chaotic thoughts, Su Mu had already aimed the Anti-Evil Crossbow at Black Blade’s body. Holding several arrows in his hand, Su Mu manually activated the crossbow’s rapid-fire mode.
The skeletal lizard that Black Blade was using as a shield was instantly killed, and the arrows followed one after another, shooting toward Black Blade. This time, Black Blade had no chance to block or dodge. The arrows imbued with the Anti-Evil effect shot through Black Blade’s body, and the purifying flames began to burn him.
“Ahhhh! Human, you are not the Scarlet King! The Scarlet King does not sneak up on you!”
After being hit by the arrows, Black Blade let out a panicked cry. He waved his hands, seemingly trying to extinguish the purifying flames that had begun to burn on his body. But the flames continued to follow Black Blade, moving to his hands. An undead trying to extinguish purifying flames only makes things worse.
However, Black Blade was no ordinary monster. When he realized that he couldn’t extinguish the purifying flames, he swung his long blade and cut off all the burning bones from his body. The shattered, burning bones fell to the ground, and Black Blade escaped further incineration.
“The Scarlet Clan does not ambush,” Black Blade growled.
“But I do,” Su Mu replied.
The arrows from his crossbow fired in quick succession. Even though Black Blade summoned skeleton shields to block them, several arrows still hit their targets. As for the summoned skeletons, they were all pierced by the evil-breaking arrows.
“Despicable human. If I can no longer target the Scarlet King, then let us perish together!”
Seeing the purifying flames burning on his body, Black Blade realized that there was no escaping his fate of destruction. With one last swing of the black blade, a cloud of black mist appeared behind Su Mu. The sneaky black blade aimed to slice Su Mu in two.
“I’ve been waiting for this move. Glass Bracer, activate.”
A glass shield surrounded Su Mu perfectly, protecting his entire body. The sneaky black blade shattered upon hitting the glass shield, and both the blade and the shield disappeared.
Thanks to the protection of the glass shield, Su Mu continued to attack Black Blade with arrows even as the threat loomed.
As the purifying black smoke burned away its last bit of will, the level 15 elite monster, Black Blade, finally met its end at Su Mu’s hands.
[Ding! Congratulations to the survivor for defeating the elite monster.].
[Soul Master: Black Blade has granted 2,500 experience.].
The experience points of this elite monster were a full thousand more than that of the Scarlet Pig King boss. Su Mu thought it might be worth going back to the Scarlet Pig King for another round.
However, since it was an elite monster, it dropped fewer items—only three in total. But upon closer inspection, Su Mu discovered that each of these items was extremely valuable, with one exceeding the other in value!
[Weapon: Soul Master Black Blade].
[Quality: Rare].
[Level: 1].
[Special Effects: Sneak Attack Black Blade, Necromancer Control (Single Target)].
[Sub-Attribute: Not filled].
[Description: The weapon used by Soul Master Black Blade has less necrotic energy after purification and is more suitable for human use.].
The weapon dropped was directly of rare quality. This was undoubtedly the most valuable weapon Su Mu had obtained, aside from the map from the special chest. If a sub-property could be added to it, even if it’s only of silver quality, it would be on par with the current Anti-Evil Crossbow in terms of level.
“Just what I need for melee combat. You’ll be fine.”
Su Mu temporarily put it aside and looked at the other drops.
[Black Blade Mantle].
[Quality: Excellent].
[Level: 1].
[Special Effect: Reduces the hostility of undead creatures.].
[Description: Soul Master Black Blade’s clothing, originally imbued with negative energy, is now purified and more suitable for human use.].
This was a pretty good piece of equipment as well.
Su Mu then turned to the last piece of loot.
