Earth's Best Gamer Chapter 471 - Fusion: Transcendent Rank-2, Nightmare Halberd

Chapter 471: Fusion: Transcendent Rank-2, Nightmare Halberd

“Put the dragon whale into our settlement!”

Ji Ye told those on the Mirage Dragon Wars.h.i.+p to take over the evolving dragon whale and keep an eye on it.

He had finished testing the Thousand-Year Ice Dragon Sword and went back to the gra.s.sland on the sh.o.r.e.

“How did it go?”

“I can use it in actual battle now…”

Li Guang, who was wearing the Night King Light Armor, nodded at Ji Ye.

Next to him was Husky, who had reached Extraordinary Rank-8. On its back was a teenager, who was the 15-year-old genius that partic.i.p.ated in the live Dragon City interview and had won over a hundred international awards.

In his hand was a fist-sized gray ball, which was none other than the condensed Dense Fog that Ji Ye had made with the Taichi Dragons. It could control the unicorns.

The genius teenager wasn’t specially invited here. It just so happened that he was one of the fourth-batch players.

Because he was born with the ability to mult.i.task, after arriving at Dragon City, he had been getting special training. Right now, he had reached Extraordinary Rank-5 and was still rising.

“Attack!”

In front of the two of them was a formation consisting of 20 unicorns and 20 riders, who all held long-range weapons such as bows and guns that were made of Radiant Gold and wore the armor made of Buddha Gold. On their waists were a pair of machetes and a bottle of Holy Water that they gathered from the unicorns’ region.

They were the newly-built Unicorn Battalion. The two Commanders were Qin Yueyu and Hu Sanniang, and all members were female.

The members were limited to females only because that was the request of some female players.

Most of the combative members of Dragon City were men, especially the special forces, where 90% of the members were male players. Although they wouldn’t actually die in the Land of Inheritance, men still seemed to be better at enduring pain and attacks in battle.

However, Dragon City had over 10,000 members now, and a lot of female players weren’t afraid of fighting in battles.

After Dragon City obtained the unicorns, they discussed forming a new Sky Troop. Qin Yueyu and Hu Sanniang then made the suggestion.

Ji Ye agreed after discussing with other management personnel.

The twenty female players of the Unicorn Battalion were all Extraordinary Rank-5 and above and had been well-trained. In terms of their combat capability, they were as good as their male peers.

If Ji Ye remembered correctly, in western legend, unicorns were mounts of females.

Some even said that the healing power of unicorns represented a holy power and that only virgins would gain their recognition.

“Hey, stop squirming!”

Several female players snapped at the fretty unicorns they were riding.

It had nothing to do with being a virgin or not.

Maybe the real unicorns really were neat freaks that couldn’t bear anyone but virgins.

But these unicorns had their souls devoured by the Dense Fog, and they would no longer choose their masters.

Because of the lack of souls, that genius teenager alone couldn’t keep an eye on all of them in battles. Under Ninth Uncle’s suggestion, they used the Soul Transfer Talisman and temporarily filled the unicorns with the souls of some low-ranking male players.

These men would work with the teenager in controlling the unicorns so that these Extraordinary creatures could exert all their power.

They were all men because female players didn’t like the idea of being ridden by another woman.

As for men…

The position didn’t bother them at all.

“Master Ji!”

Apart from the all-female Unicorn Battalion, another new Sky Troop had been formed. It was called the Nightmare Battalion and consisted of 20 Nightmare Horses. They resembled the unicorns, but the single horn on each of their heads was black, and their eyes had flames in them. Even their hooves were red.

[Nightmare Horse]

[Level: Extraordinary Rank-5]

[Rarity: Elite]

[Description: They were the unicorns tempted by the Power of Nightmare and fell to the dark side. They have an extraordinary power of darkness and fire.]

The Power of Nightmare!

Obviously, the power came from the Nightmare Horn they found after they destroyed a section of the Dense Fog.

In the past few days, apart from the Gatling Bodhisattva and the Thousand-Year Ice Dragon Sword, Ji Ye had fused another Transcendent object.

It was the Nightmare Horn that was already Perfect but had been “damaged”.

His original plan was to see if he could repair it.

However, when he used his talent to fuse the Nightmare Horn, something strange happened.

Just like when he fused the Buddha Shadow Radiant Gold, his mind was pulled into a foggy s.p.a.ce.

“Hoooo!”

In this place was a Nightmare. It looked dim, weak, and had faint Transcendent energy about it. It was covered by wounds and was struggling violently as the gray fog surrounding it kept trying to infiltrate its body.

The Nightmare whimpered, and some dim red flame came out of its body, forcing the gray fog out.

But the flames disappeared almost immediately and were devoured by new gray fog.

It neighed.

When Ji Ye’s mind appeared in this s.p.a.ce, the badly wounded Transcendent Nightmare King seemed to find some new hope.

A dark red flame appeared on its four hooves, and it forced its way through the fog, charging at Ji Ye and trying to lead the fog to him.

“Huh?”

Realizing its intention, Ji Ye raised his eyebrows.

“Roar!”

The next second, a dragon roared.

A straight, heavy black saber emerged.

After coming out of Ji Ye’s body, it turned into a 30m-long black Dragon Soul, charging at the Nightmare.

Pew!

With one slash, it not only cut that weakened Nightmare in half but also split open the entire foggy s.p.a.ce.

[“You’ve killed the Nightmare King (Transcendent Rank-1, Quasi-Commander). EXP gained: 10,498. Honor gained: 807. Rare Honor: 30!”]

Ji Ye then received the information in his head.

He even obtained a Transcendent-level Quasi-Commander Soul of Civilization.

After leaving the Dense Fog s.p.a.ce, Ji Ye opened his eyes, looked at the Nightmare Horn in his hand, and murmured, “Interesting…”

He gave it some more thought and activated Fusion again.

But it wasn’t a simple Fusion this time. He tried to combine the damaged Nightmare Horn with the Retribution Fire Trident he took out of the Void Ring.

Pop! Crackle!

Silver light glowed on the two Transcendent treasures, and he could faintly hear something burning in the Nightmare Horn.

Some gray fog even rose out of it, but the Fusion silver light pressed it back in and turned it into the material of this Fusion.

The resplendent silver light didn’t fade until a few hours later.

Dark red flames rose out of the black trident. Its appearance didn’t change much, but its attributes had changed greatly.

[Nightmare Retribution Fire Halberd]

[Level: Transcendent Rank-2]

[Rarity: Perfect (Rare)]

[Description: It was fused by combining the soul and horn of a Transcendent Nightmare, the Retribution Fire Trident, and an unknown power. It had four abilities, including “Degeneration”, summoning the Nightmare, dominating dreams, and starting the fire of retribution.]

Another Transcendent Rank-2 weapon.

Needless to say, this weapon was as powerful as the Hundred Dragon Soul Saber and even exceeded the former one in some aspects.

After all, it was a Perfect one, just like the Eye Painting Brush.

When using its first ability on the unicorns, it could turn the unicorns into Nightmares. Although the levels wouldn’t change much, their attributes would turn from thunder and light to fire and darkness.

The second ability was that the Nightmare Retribution Fire Halberd could summon a semi-tangible Nightmare King in battles.

In comparison, the third ability was the real Transcendent one. With it, he could invade other people’s dreams and discover their subconscious world.

After activating that ability, Ji Ye had visited the dreams of the members of Dragon City, and he had found a lot of secrets.

“Jie, you’re remarkable!”

“Jie, you’ve made our school proud!”

“Brother Jie, I don’t know what I was thinking, trying to take your girlfriend away. Here’s a million, please forgive a petty figure like me.”

“Jie, the director wants to see you in person to talk about a joint project…”

For instance, some new players dreamed about going back to Earth, and everyone he knew was trying to fawn over him.

“Zhou Yu is mine. Yan Qing is mine. Hua Rong, Zhao Yun, they’re all mine… Mine…”

That was from a female player’s dream.

In it, she was surrounded by the silver-armored Zhao Yun, the handsome Hua Rong, the elegant Zhou Yu, and Yan Qing, who was covered by tattoos. They were all posing around her.

Ji Ye himself was as good-looking as those heroes and was the master of the city.

Therefore, he had appeared in some players’ dreams as well.

For instance, a seemingly unapproachable female player had dreamed about falling in love with Ji Ye, the “emperor”, at first sight and entered his “palace”. There, she competed with her imaginary rivals in love but failed. She was thrown into a deserted palace and stayed there for ten years, feeling sorry for herself.

“Your Majesty!”

She looked pleasantly surprised when she saw him, and her eyes were filled with desire.

Ji Ye had to run out of that dream to get away from her.

He didn’t try to make use of that opportunity. After all, Nightmare was a well-known being on Earth. Using it unwisely would create serious problems.

“Hoooo!”

It just so happened that the dream he entered next belonged to a monster in the surrounding area of Dragon City. It looked like a honey badger and was mounting its female partner. Ji Ye’s arrival made it jump.

It then bared its teeth and growled at the uninvited guest.

However, before it could get close, the Nightmare Ji Ye was riding kicked out a ball of retribution fire and burned it to ash.

Meanwhile, in the real world, the Extraordinary Rank-5 badger-like creature also collapsed, although it didn’t seem to be injured at all.

It could even move around after the Hundred Dragon Soul Saber filled it with a soul.

That scene looked a little familiar.

“I think I know how the Dense Fog could annihilate the unicorns that had the ability to fly and heal.”

Ji Ye looked a little grim.

“Master Ji, the gray fog suddenly became restless. One of the areas seemed to be on fire.”

After Ji Ye completed the Fusion and left the vault, he immediately received that information via SkyNet from the people stationed outside the Dense Fog.

“Did the Dense Fog try to move closer?”

“No. It actually moved further away and seemed to become a little dimmer.”

“I see. Remain where you are and keep your eyes open.”

Ji Ye then increased the number of people guarding the Dense Fog to 1,000 and had Li Chunfeng and Zhu Wu guard the area. Both men had nearly reached the Transcendent level.

“You’ll all drink the Sweet Dew Uplifting Tonic concocted by Commander An. No one is allowed to sleep while you’re stationed here!”

He gave them strict orders.

When the others weren’t looking, he gave that Transcendent Soul of Civilization to Su Nongying and left her with some instructions.

After that, he went to a newly built secret underground military base below the Land of Radiation.

“Master Ji!”

“Is it ready?”

Ji Ye nodded at some researchers in protective clothing. A few heavy metal boxes lay next to them, all with the radiation symbol.

“Yes. Thanks to your blueprint of the Pure Sensation Depleted Uranium Bomb, we figured out a way to reduce its size. Otherwise, we would have difficulty in meeting the requirement.”

Elder He’s eyes were bloodshot red, and he looked tired.

With the help of the Sweet Dew and Stone Milk, he was in his 50s or 60s now. His health wouldn’t be an issue.

“This time, I’ll show the aliens what the Transcendent power from Earth looks like!” a player who studied nuclear engineering in college said excitedly.

“That’s right. It’s about time we introduce nuclear power to the alien races!”

Ji Ye smiled as well.
