Realm of Myths and Legends

Chapter 637 - Deadly Curiosity

The surge of energy from Tigran’s transformation forced Izroth to withdraw.

When he viewed the new information displayed by the system, Izroth almost did not believe his own eyes.

NPC Name: Centurion Juggernaut of Tempest, Tigran(Legendary)

NPC Level: ???

NPC HP: ??? (100%)

That explained why a single attack from the first cerulean dragon he conjured was nearly on par with the ruler of the Hollow Soul Grove! Tigran was among one of the strongest existences in RML below the firmament—a legendary being!

Izroth’s expression became serious as he observed Tigran. With his current strength, Izroth understood that he was practically no match for someone in the legendary realm.

It was no wonder his attacks weren’t working! Against someone in the legendary realm, his Sword of The Storm might as well be an ordinary kitchen knife!

Even if Izroth used every skill in his arsenal, at most, he might be able to wound someone of Tigran’s caliber, and that was being overly optimistic.

But, Tigran’s sudden power boost caused Izroth to frown inwardly.

’It doesn’t add up.’

The inner workings of Tempest were a bit different from Amaharpe; however, Tigran’s rank was a Centurion, which was the approximate equivalent of an Amaharpe Commander.

The problem was that in terms of overall fighting strength, Amaharpe was a step above Tempest.

If someone like Aurie, who was in line to become a General in the War Brigade at any given time, held the rank of Commander, it meant that her strength should be at the level of or maybe even higher than a low-ranking Amaharpe General.

In other words, Aurie was virtually at the peak strength of a Commander—perhaps only excluding the Commander of the General Support Unit, Seraphina.

Nevertheless, if Amaharpe, who was a step above Tempest in terms of war power, could afford to have someone of Aurie’s ability remain a Commander, how could Tempest bear to have a legendary being like Tigran walk around with the rank of a mere Centurion?

Better yet, would someone in the legendary realm be willing to lower themselves to such an extent? The answer was clear.

Whatever the case, there were too many mysteries surrounding Tigran.

Bang!

The metal tail at Tigran’s back slammed into the ground behind him, leaving a deep scar where it struck.

The armor was not the sole thing to undergo a radical change.

The large broadsword in Tigran’s hands turned pitch-black with red carvings of ancient symbols formed on its surface.

"You should have escaped when you had the chance. Now that you’ve seen this form of mine don’t even dream of leaving this place." Tigran brandished his broadsword before lifting it into the air with one arm.

Swoosh!

Tigran swung the broadsword downward. The weapon did not even make contact with the ground before several fissures started to appear on the earth. These fissures were a direct result of the pressure produced by Tigran’s attack; however, they were just a mere prelude for what was to come.

The instant Tigran’s sword collided with the ground, a massive shockwave filled with a rush of condensed energy was sent outward in the shape of a tidal wave-like arc.

Izroth’s World Quelling Ripple was stopped dead in its tracks and disrupted by the sudden influx of energy. In a flash, the World Quelling Ripple’s neutralizing effects had been destroyed and wiped clean!

But, Tigran’s attack still had an excess of momentum and continued onward in Izroth’s direction.

Izroth watched as the wave of overwhelming and destructive energy rushed at him.

’I anticipated that he would be troublesome to deal with head-on, but I have to admit that even I did not foresee this level of difficulty. Is my only option to retreat?’

Izroth was no fool. The obvious answer was to retreat from the outpost and join up with Meng Jiang or One Shot Brick’s group after shaking off Tigran’s inevitable pursuit. After all, his main target, Vault, was nowhere to be found in this outpost.

Tigran’s presence at this outpost was an anomaly—a fact Izroth learned while briefly listening in on Tigran’s conversation with the soldier.

From their conversation, Izroth discovered that the true head of the outpost was a Guard Commander by the name of Vasso. Speaking simply, Tigran was just a visitor who happened to be in the right place at the right time to run into Izroth during his assault.

While Izroth did not know Tigran’s exact circ.u.mstances for visiting this particular outpost, he could only blame his poor luck. Or rather, perhaps his luck was too good, and he pulled the highest card in the deck out of the three outposts?

Regardless, the members of Sacred Beasts were fortunate. If one of their groups had launched an all-out assault against this outpost, they would have undoubtedly been wiped out by Tigran.

’...Retreat, is it? I suppose that does make the most sense given the circ.u.mstances. But-’

A carefree smile appeared on Izroth’s face as he activated his Warpath Blade: Gale Zone Guard, causing a thin stream of wind to envelope him from head to toe.

’I’ve always been curious...’

Izroth held out his left arm as an object began to materialize in his hand. What appeared was a spear that emitted a wild and ferocious aura. Its shaft was golden bronze, and the spearhead located at the tip was slightly split apart—like two black fangs mirroring one another. Located just under the spearhead was a mane that resembled that of a lion’s, except it was dr.a.p.ed around the spear like a decorative shawl.

The moment this spear fell into Izroth’s left hand, it was as if an intense heatwave had abruptly emerged on the battlefield.

At the same time, Izroth’s feet became coated in a burning inferno, melting the ground he stood on. This was the spear he received after defeating the Scorching Earth Liger in the Hollow Soul Grove, the Scorched Inferno’s Fang.

’...At just what I can obtain by taking down someone in the legendary realm. In the end, I won’t know until I try.’

Weapon Name: Scorched Inferno’s Fang

Weapon Rank: Rare

Weapon Level: 55

Requirements: 1,000 Attack, Warrior-Type Class(2nd Advancement or higher)

Attack Damage: 1,350

Agility: 210

Earthly Inferno(Passive) - An earth-scorching inferno coats the user’s feet. Anywhere the user stands or steps leaves behind an «Inferno Print» for 1 minute that deals 50% of the user’s attack as mixed damage per second to enemies who come into contact with it. There is also a small chance to inflict affected targets with a «Burn» status effect.

«Eruption» - Causes an eruption to occur at all «Inferno Print» locations, dealing 475% of the user’s attack as mixed damage to all targets within three meters of an «Inferno Print» and stunning them for 4 seconds. Targets also have a chance to be inflicted with a «Burn» status effect. Targets can be affected and damaged by multiple «Inferno Print»’s eruptions.

Cooldown: 25 minutes

Thanks to his Battle Fundamental Mastery passive, Izroth could ignore the warrior-type class required to equip the Scorched Inferno’s Fang. However, what truly stood out was that the Sword of The Storm was still within his right hand. This meant that he was somehow wielding both weapons at once!

Though this was no miracle. It was due to a skill Izroth acquired during the Great Sea Palace raid after successfully mining a piece of Arisia Crystal of all things—Dual Wielding.

Skill Name: Dual Wielding

Skill Mastery: 12.98%

Skill Rank: Unique*

Requirements: ???(Hidden)

Passive: The user of this skill has met the requirements for dual wielding and will gain the following benefit(s):

-The user can wield two one-handed weapons simultaneously. If the one-handed weapons are a different type, skills for the secondary weapon deal 35% less damage. (MAX Off-Hand Weapon Stat Gain: 27.75%)

-While wielding more than one weapon, the user gains +25% Attack Speed.

-While wielding more than one weapon, the user’s weapon-based attacks can be «Linked» [5 Time(s)] every [30 second(s)]. This effect is affected by the user’s attack speed and skill mastery.

-???[Requires 40% Skill Mastery]

-???[Requires 80% Skill Mastery]

-???[Requires 100% Skill Mastery]

Special Note: The skill mastery to Dual Wielding cannot be increased using skill points. Skill mastery can only be increased through repeated use of Dual Wielding.

Dual Wielding was a skill that all melee physical damage dealers dreamed of acquiring, but it remained out of their reach.

If players learned that Izroth obtained such a unique skill just by casually mining one time, they would not be able to accept it!
