IUD-Chapter 415 Spoils of War

Previous ChapterNext Chapter


The next day, in the early morning.

When Fang Li woke up again from his slumber, the day had already begun to brighten.

This time precisely coincided with the moment Fang Li usually got up.

“Even though I am heavily wounded, does my biological clock still function within this body?” Fang Li couldn’t help but chuckle.

The throbbing pain from both arms persisted.

The shoulder injury continued to affect him.

However, compared to waking up last night, the pain had considerably diminished.

“Although I don’t know if it can compare to Flame Haze, the recovery ability of Genestellar is not weak.”

In addition to Fang Li’s high VIT (Endurance), his resistance and recovery abilities were quite formidable. Injuries that would confine an ordinary person to bed for over half a year only had a mild impact on Fang Li’s movements.

So, Fang Li slowly propped up his body and instinctively looked towards the bedside.

There, the girl who had been sleeping there last night was no longer present.

In her place was a pure white activation body and a crescent-like dagger.

“Did you pick them up for me?”

Fang Li smiled wryly before he extended his hand which tinged with pain, to pick up both the Bo Xie and the Moonlight Dagger.

“Clang…”

The blade of the crescent-like dagger emitted a chilly arc of light.

“Hum…”

A slight vibration echoed through the pure white activation body, caused solely by the sharpness of the weapon itself.

The latter transmitted a sense of will to Fang Li.

It was the will of the Bo Xie itself.

Fang Li wasn’t experiencing this will from the Bo Xie for the first time.

For example, during the initial compatibility rating test with the Bo Xie, Fang Li sensed the will of the Bo Xie.

Later on, there were several occasions when the Bo Xie conveyed its will to Fang Li.

However, it wasn’t a form of communication; rather, it was merely expressing its own dissatisfaction.

Fang Li knew why the Bo Xie was dissatisfied.

“It is still as obsessed with cleanliness as before…”

This dissatisfaction was directed at Bo Xie’s own level of cleanliness.

Whenever the Bo Xie got unnecessarily filthy, it seemed unable to tolerate it and constantly demanded Fang Li to clean it.

Otherwise, Fang Li wouldn’t be able to use it.

Yesterday, during the battle with Sydonay, due to a momentary lapse, Fang Li fell victim to Sydonay’s ambush, causing both the Bo Xie and the Moonlight Dagger to slip from his hands and fall to the ground.

Presumably, at that moment, the Bo Xie collected quite a bit of dust and powder, right?

“I’m still heavily injured now. If possible, I really hope you could be a bit lenient with me.”

Sighing, Fang Li directly took a handkerchief from the bedside and began wiping Bo Xie’s body.

Under these circumstances, the trembling Urm Manadyte on Bo Xie’s activation body gradually calmed down, emitting a gentle glow.

As Fang Li wiped the Bo Xie’s activation body, he recalled the events from yesterday.

“Setting aside Sydonay’s matter, at least, you helped me deal with Friagne.”

Thanks to this, Fang Li not only defeated the Crimson World Crimson Lord, Friagne, who ranked in the top five in the modern era but also gained numerous Treasure Tools from Friagne’s remains.

That battle was a success.

However, the subsequent battle with Sydonay was deemed a failure.

“But, I cannot blame you; it’s my own fault.”

After all, being ambushed by Sydonay, resulting in both weapons slipping away was Fang Li’s lapse in self-control, so it was unrelated to Bo Xie.

If not for that, relying on Bo Xie’s ability and the sharpness of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, Fang Li had a complete chance to kill Sydonay in a scenario where he wasn’t fighting at full strength.

“However, Sydonay is not easy to deal with…”

The ancient Crimson Lord, upon realizing that Fang Li’s attacks prevented his wounds from healing, immediately became cautious. Using proactive attacks to divert attention, his objective was to target Fang Li’s arms, preventing him from launching further attacks and thereby posing a threat to himself.

So, the outcome might not have been solely due to Fang Li’s carelessness.

“Let’s settle this score next time.”

Uttering these words, Fang Li placed the cleaned Bo Xie and Moonlight Dagger aside and began extracting the spoils obtained from Friagne’s remains.

Instantly, various Treasure Tools appeared before Fang Li.

Fang Li immediately used the Main God’s Dimension’s exploration function to examine the effects of each Treasure Tool.

1. Regular Sharp: A Dungeon World special item resembling a poker card Treasure Tool. It can be used as a straightforward firepower tool with formidable power, valued at 10,000 Exchange Points.

2. Bubble Loot: A Dungeon World special item resembling a coin Treasure Tool. When thrown, the afterimage can transform into a chain that can destroy Fifth-Ranked Weapons, and restrain Fourth Ranked Weapons, but it is ineffective against Third Ranked Weapons. Weapons below the third rank and other Treasure Tools cannot damage this Treasure Tool, valued at 15,000 Exchange Points.

3. Dance Party: A Dungeon World special item resembling a handbell Treasure Tool. It can control Torches set up as traps, break them down into Power of Existence, and utilize them, valued at 18,000 Exchange Points.

4. Azure: A Dungeon World special item resembling a ring Treasure Tool. It has a flame-warding effect, rendering flame attacks ineffective against the holder. When the barrier is deployed, it can defend against all flame attacks below the third rank, valued at 20,000 Exchange Points.

5. Trigger Happy: A Dungeon World special item resembling a pistol Treasure Tool. It has no limit on the number of bullets and is specifically used to deal with Flame Haze. When hit, the Crimson Lord within the body of the Flame Haze is awakened and forced to manifest. The Flame Haze, serving as the vessel self-destructs, is valued at 20,000 Exchange Points.

These were the Treasure Tools Fang Li gained from Friagne’s remains.

Looking at these Treasure Tools, Fang Li couldn’t help but smirk, offering Friagne such an evaluation.

“What a foolish guy.”

Indeed.

Azure could immunize against flame attacks, nearly making the holder invincible against Flame Haze, who primarily used flame attacks. Trigger Happy, once it hits, could make any Flame Haze instantly perish, and the Crimson World Crimson Lord forced to manifest would be compelled to return to the Crimson World due to insufficient Power of Existence, leaving the holder with the ability to execute a one-hit-kill against any Flame Haze.

With these two Treasure Tools, Friagne could have had almost zero chance of defeat when facing Flame Haze.

However, Friagne chose to target Fang Li, a human, for the sake of Reiji Maigo (Midnight Lost Child), rendering his ace in the hole completely useless. The result was his death in such a miserable state.

“Consider yourself unlucky.”

With that, Fang Li collected all these Treasure Tools.

Then, Fang Li stood up, put on his clothes, and walked out of the room.
