I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 201: Chapter 201: Pet Contract

Translator: 549690339

A gigantic beast claw descended from the sky, pulverizing a large area in the center of the neighborhood. The small pavilion where Kalu Tutu resided, right under the palm of the claw, was ground to a fine powder;

Song Jian, transformed into a cloud of dark mist, was also suppressed underneath the claw. Wisps of black smoke gradually seeped out from the gaps between the beast’s claws;

After this blow, the beast’s claw slowly vanished. The swirling black clouds flashing with lightning overhead also gradually dissipated, and the sky returned to its bright blue. Only a massive paw print, over fifteen meters in diameter, remained on the ground;

Kalu Tutu looked like a broken rag doll with wounds cracking open all over its body. It lay on the brink of death in a pool of dark green blood;

Song Jian was utterly shaken. That blow, although mostly physical, had also carried a trace of spiritual attack, similar to his Eye of Mind skill. The beast had first locked onto Song Jian with its mind, then unleashed this earth-shaking blow;

Physical damage could be negated, but that trace of spiritual damage still inflicted Song Jian with over a hundred and eighty points of damage;

Kalu Tutu’s vitality points had now dwindled to less than a hundred. With its every bone broken, it couldn’t understand how the desperate finishing move it had deployed, had rebounded onto itself, while the enemy had barely been damaged;

Song Jian returned to his human form, his face turning pale. He couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of fresh blood while his mind was in tumult, and his head throbbed with pain. The image of the gigantic beast claw’s earth-shaking blow was deeply imprinted in Song Jian’s mind, as imposing as a massive mountain range in his consciousness.

“This is horrifying! This is nothing but a level fifteen Elite Boss. Yet, it could summon such a terrifying strike! And it was just a single giant claw. If the ancient beast were summoned in its entirety, the entire city might have vanished.” Song Jian revealed a horrified expression;

“How… how could this be…” Kalu Tutu looked up at the sky. It could feel its strength swiftly draining away from its body. It knew it was about to die;

Watching Song Jian gradually approaching it, a puzzled look appeared in Kalu Tutu’s eyes, “Human, how did you manage to do this?”

Song Jian remained silent, lifting his longsword to thrust towards Kalu Tutu’s head;

“Human, don’t kill me. Don’t you want to know about the Shaman profession…”

Thunk-

The longsword pierced straight into its brain, draining Kalu Tutu’s last bit of vitality. Kalu Tutu died in confusion, a transparent flame surfaced on its body;

A few items exploded out, one of them emitting bright silver light;

“A silver-quality item?” Song Jian’s face lit up with a pleasantly surprised smile. He reached out to grab the silver-quality item;

“Pet Contract (Silver): Consumable, Usage Effect: Apply to a beast class no higher than a Lord, turning it into a pet. The lower the beast’s HP, the higher the success rate of the contract. Once the contract is successful, the pet’s level resets to level one. Uses: o/i. Usage Requirement: 9 points of Charm. Can it be taken out of the game: No.”

“A Pet Contract Scroll?” Song Jian was taken aback, then a smile spread across his face. He had always been wondering whether or not to kill the Black Dragon Hatchling. The Dragon Clan passed down its powers through bloodline. As the hatchling leveled up, it would grow rapidly, learning vast inherited knowledge from its bloodline. If the hatchling ever surpassed Song Jian in power, it might very well turn against him;

Even now, Song Jian could sense some estrangement from the hatchling. It no longer felt as close to him as before and had become somewhat wary;

“Great! With this scroll, I can truly own a dragon pet. When that happens… hahaha!” Song Jian burst out laughing, hurriedly storing the scroll away in his inventory.

Aside from this silver-quality pet contract scroll, Kalu Tutu also dropped a blue quality totem pillar, and the rest were some materials like linen;

“Healing Totem Pillar (Blue) – Consumable, Use Effect: Restores Vitality Points of all teammates within a five-meter radius by (5+10*120 Spirit/second), duration of 15 minutes; Usage: 1/1; Defense: 50 points.”

“This is an item best used for dungeon raiding or on the battlefield. It would be a waste to use it during regular times.” Holding the palm-sized totem pillar, Song Jian pondered;

After collecting all the items, Song Jian was a bit uneasy. Although he had killed a level 15 elite boss, it was severely injured and its mental strength was almost exhausted with only a stroke of power left. He picked up a good bargain and wondered if Duan Jian would acknowledge his successful completion of the task.

Upon opening his task bar, as expected, the task was not shown as being completed, causing Song Jian’s heart to sink;

“Brother Song, what was that just now? Was that your skill? That beast claw was terrifying…” After seeing the boss getting killed, Lin Sheng quickly ran over. The beast claw was overwhelming and Lin Sheng was filled with fear;

“If I could perform that move, wouldn’t I wipe out anyone in my path? That was the boss’s final counterattack, the trump card…” Song Jian rolled his eyes as he spoke;

“Brother Song, you endured such a terrifying move, my admiration for you is like a mighty river…” Lin Sheng revealed a surprised expression as he looked at Song Jian in disbelief;

“Alright, alright, I have a task to hand in. You go and find your Thief Mentor.” With a wave of his hand, Song Jian took a few steps away before he hesitated and turned back to say to Lin Sheng, “Lin Sheng, 1 still think that man who guided the dungeon is not as simple as he seems. If in the future you really have the strength to enter a realistic difficulty dungeon, you must go and meet with him again.”

Lin Sheng thoughtfully nodded, saying: “I understand, Brother Song.”

Seeing Lin Sheng take the advice to heart, Song Jian turned around and dashed towards the Tianfeng Building;

These days, Song Jian has encountered many high-level NPCs. He can clearly feel their power and even distinguish some of their strengths from the aura they emitted;

When he initially entered the dungeon, the guide only showed to be at level thirty but the terrifying aura that Song Jian sensed from him was not less than Dragon Hunter or Duan Jian;

Upon returning to the Tianfeng Building, there were still five to six hours left until the task completion deadline. Reaching the rooftop, Duan Jian looked at Song Jian speechlessly: “You really… 1 don’t know what to say about you, but you are indeed lucky…”

An awkward smile surfaced on Song Jian’s face. If Kalu Tutu hadn’t been severely injured, Song Jian would have had to reveal his full strength to fight with it. The result turned out to be that Kalu Tutu was seriously injured. Not only did it lose a leg, its spirit points were almost depleted, only able to exert a weak final blow;

That final blow happened to be restrained by one of Song Jian’s skills. As a consequence, not only did it not eliminate Song Jian, it instead gave it a fall, leaving Song Jian’s prepared trump card unused;

Now thinking about it, even if Kalu Tutu wasn’t severely injured, with Song Jian’s current strength, even without using the Rocket Launcher and the Tusk Fang Stinger, after a hard fight, he could have slain it;

“Safety first, safety first, hehe-” Song Jian grinned while rubbing his hands together;

“Alright, 1’11 consider this a pass for you this time.” Duan Jian let out a sigh of resignation and muttered under his breath, “Just like that fat man, clearly having the strength to slay the boss, but still insists on finding loopholes to benefit.”
