Chapter 76 - 76 The Secret of the Lionheart Blade

76 The Secret of the Lionheart Blade

The two of them ran at full speed and soon arrived at an abandoned house on Rat Street.

No matter how prosperous the city was, there would always be slums and dark evil.

Rat Street was the place of chaos in Rose City.

After Ning Shi met up with the Undying Trump Troop, he directly gave the order.

“Maku Gu, protect Lady Lena. Check your weapons and equipment, and prepare for battle!”

With that, Ning Shi turned to the clean room and sat down, taking out the Lionheart Blade from his backpack.

The Lionheart Blade sensed danger and kept shaking in Ning Shi’s hand. The blade made an ear-piercing sound, trying to break free from Ning Shi’s hand and escape.

After struggling for a while, it found that it couldn’t break free from Ning Shi’s restraint, so Lionheart Blade begged for mercy.

“Ning Shi, I can recognize you as my master, and you will gain great power. Don’t put me in the unknown space anymore, please!

The Lionheart Blade felt extreme danger in the system backpack, and it didn’t want to be put in there again.

Ning Shi was expressionless and asked directly, “What abilities do you have? You’d better tell me everything. Otherwise, I’ll have to sacrifice you to the big boss behind me!

If he didn’t return the Lionheart to the game system, Ning Shi would lose 35 Physique points.

He might consider it.

“I’m the origin weapon that shoulders the mission of the world. After I recognize you as my master, you’ll automatically become the Son of Heaven and have the destiny to unify the human world.

“As long as it’s about the unification of the human race, you’ll receive the help of heaven’s will. Everything will go smoothly and you’ll be successful!”

A mocking smile flashed across the corner of Ning Shi’s mouth. “Your ability doesn’t seem very good. Alesia was your master, but I killed him before he could complete his mission.

Ning Shi’s words of ridicule were to suppress Lionheart Blade’s pride, but he still acknowledged Lionheart Blade’s ability in his heart.

If it wasn’t for the help of the game system, Ning Shi might have been contracted as a bloodline servant by Lionheart Blade at the very beginning, and Alesia wouldn’t have died.

The Lionheart Blade glowed with red and green light. It was silent for a while before it continued.

“The existence behind you has interfered with the power of fate… Other than granting you the destiny of the chosen one, I have three other great abilities.

“The first is bloodline absorption. I can absorb power from the bloodlines of the people or magical beasts that I have killed and feed it back to the host. This power can strengthen the host’s physique and also help the host increase the speed of the bloodline’s advancement.

“The second is bloodline servants. I can forcibly take in intelligent creatures as my bloodline servants. The success rate of the contract depends on the Spiritual Power of the host and the target.

“After becoming my bloodline servant, my life and death are in the hands of the host. I can also send and receive information for my servants and help the host gather information.”

Ning Shi interrupted Lionheart Blade and asked, “Alesia is your host. After he dies, what will happen to the bloodline servants you’ve contracted?”

“They’ll go through a test of the bloodline curse. Those who pass the test will regain their freedom and free will. Those who fail will die with Alesia.

“Alesia and I had previously made a contract with more than a dozen high levels, including three generals. The Ole Empire had also accepted a few nobles and generals as bloodline servants.

“These arrangements were all in preparation for the unification of the Moen Continent. With Alesia’s death, everything has vanished.”

Lionheart Blade’s words reminded Ning Shi that he had not made good use of the function of recruiting servants.

It seemed like a waste to simply use it to form an Undying Trump Troop.

He should be like Alesia, quietly subduing the leaders of the major forces to help him expand his forces.

Seeing that Ning Shi was silent, Lionheart Blade continued, “My third ability is called the origin armband. I can attach myself to the host as an armband. After activating the armband ability, the host’s defense will decrease, but the host’s physique will be greatly enhanced.

“The stronger one’s physique, the greater the increase! After Alesia activated the armband’s function, his physical fitness increased by more than three times!”

“Other than the four great abilities, I’m an indestructible treasure blade. Compared to my sharpness and durability, the long blade in your hand is just a pile of scrap metal.

Lionheart Blade began to feel proud after it revealed its abilities. Ning Shi had to admit that Lionheart Blade was indeed very powerful. Every ability of his was coveted by many.

But Ning Shi wouldn’t let it be. He said angrily, “It was the scrap metal in my hand that killed your host!”

Lionheart Blade immediately shut up.

After understanding the Lionheart Blade’s ability, Ning Shi no longer hesitated. He was ready to complete the mandatory task and retrieve the Lionheart Blade back to the game system.

Sensing the danger, the Lionheart Blade’s body turned red, emitting a great amount of heat and blade. Ning Shi almost couldn’t hold it.

“Don’t destroy me! I have another ability!”

“As an origin weapon, I’m an origin treasure born from the power of the world, so I can see the trajectory of fate,” Lionheart Blade said quickly.

“I can see the future and help you make the right choice now!

“As long as you promise not to destroy me, I will tell you the path of fate!”

As a native of Saturn, Ning Shi was a complete atheist who believed in the words of his leader, “Man can conquer heaven.”

He did not believe in fate at all.

Even for the predictions in Centuries, he only thought that it was a deduction of natural phenomena, just like the prediction of the weather forecast.

As for a person’s fate, there might be a ridiculous side to it, but it would always be in one’s own hands.

Ning Shi opened the recycling system, put the Lionheart Blade in, and was about to click the recycling button.

Lionheart Blade went completely mad and roared loudly.

“You can’t destroy me! If you destroy me, His Majesty Joerger will not let you off, and neither will this world’s origin treasure! Without me, humanity will never be able to rise again. You will be the sinner of all humanity!”

An origin treasure? Ning Shi was a little curious. He wanted to take the Lionheart Blade down and interrogate it.

The system sent him a notification.

[ After retrieving the Lionheart Blade, all the secrets it knows will be transmitted to the player’s consciousness. ]

After getting this prompt, Ning Shi directly pressed the recall button.

The Lionheart Blade was quickly annihilated and disappeared without a trace.

[ Lionheart Blade has been successfully retrieved. Mandatory mission completed. Reward: Experience points required to level up has been reduced by a quarter of the current experience points. ]

He took a look at his experience. It was originally Level 15 (37,580,000/40,960,000). He still needed 3,380,000 to level up, so it had now become Level 15 (0/845,000).

He was only 845,000 experience points away from leveling up again. Moreover, the experience points required to reach Level 17 had dropped from 81,920,000 to 20,480,000.

Ning Shi was just about to study the matter of leveling up experience again when a huge stream of consciousness was stuffed into his head.

Ning Shi gave a muffled groan and only felt a burst of swelling pain in his head. After about a few minutes, a memory appeared in his mind.

It was all the secrets contained in the Lionheart Blade’s consciousness.

Ning Shi read it carefully and finally understood the background of the game world.
