Chapter 1122: The Desperate Escape
Chapter 1122: The Desperate Escape
"Master Walnuts, you..." Duke Lantius could hardly believe his eyes.
He had only invited Walnuts to contain Morningstar, with no other expectations.
But now, Walnuts had actually unleashed her ultimate move—the Life Seal! The effects of the Life Seal were incredibly powerful, capable of reverting Morningstar, the Star Realm Kitten, back to her kitten stage, or even to an unhatched Starlight Egg.
However, the cost of this move was extraordinarily high.
First, Walnuts needed to spend at least ten years gathering the necessary spell components, which were enough to bankrupt a seventh-tier Legendary powerhouse.
Second, she needed materials from the Star Realm Kitten clan as a spell medium, such as the claws and fur of a Star Realm Kitten.
Finally, Walnuts had to sacrifice 99% of her own power to successfully cast the Life Seal. This dropped her strength directly from the seventh tier to the fifth, almost a mutual destruction!
Why did Walnuts do this?
In the sky, Antonio, Shuhe, Tulayan, and Xifan all stopped their actions, looking at Walnuts in shock.
Walnuts, however, remained calm, giving a light laugh and waving at everyone. "Hehe, I won't explain too much! We'll meet again if fate allows it!"
With that, Walnuts used the Earth Escape technique to burrow into the ground and vanish.
The big shots exchanged glances, momentarily at a loss for words.
Su Yu had some suspicions about Walnuts' actions. She must have done this for the eighth expansion pack, Star Realm War.
But Su Yu had already died in the seventh expansion pack, Void Invasion, and only had some speculative information about the eighth expansion pack. He wasn't sure if his guess was correct.
But now wasn't the time to think about these things.
Morningstar was falling from a height of over 400 meters, and with her was the Empress, Aliaja, who was on her back.
Falling from that height, Su Yu wasn't sure if Morningstar would turn into a "cat pancake," but Aliaja would definitely turn into "Aliaja sauce."
So, Su Yu immediately switched to the Druid class and cast the sixth-tier spell, Dragon Transformation, transforming into a blue and white storm dragon.
Storm dragons were the fastest flying dragons. With his wings spread, Su Yu quickly flew toward the falling Morningstar and Aliaja.
Duke Lantius and Antonio did not sit idly by when they saw Su Yu's actions.
Duke Lantius used Charge, rushing directly toward Su Yu.
"Space Bind!" Antonio's control spell started to form, with Su Yu as the target.
"Persistent, aren't they!" Su Yu grumbled.
But he wasn't without a solution.
Su Yu quickly switched to the Assassin class and used the Misdirection skill.
Misdirection allowed a spell to be deflected to a designated target.
Under the effect of Misdirection, Antonio's Space Bind was deflected.
A silver-white light of binding shot from Antonio's hand but directly encircled Duke Lantius, who was already close to Su Yu, trapping him mid-air.
"Goodbye, everyone!"
Su Yu smiled, transforming back into the storm dragon and flying toward Empress Aliaja and Morningstar.
With Duke Lantius trapped and Antonio again restrained by Shuhe, no one could stop Su Yu.
Su Yu arrived just in time at the location where Aliaja and Morningstar were falling, using the Ascension Cloud spell to reduce their descent speed. He then gently caught them on his broad dragon back.
Of course, before catching Aliaja and Morningstar, Su Yu timely closed the first-person view.
After all, it’s not every day that players get to experience such intimate contact with the princess and the morning star.
Princess Aijie was lying on Su Yu’s back, still a bit shaken. However, seeing that Su Yu had saved her, a deep sense of gratitude welled up inside her.
“Kexing, thank you so much for saving me,” the princess said, her voice filled with gratitude.
“Ding, [Princess Aijie]’s affection towards you has increased by 10, reaching the level of ‘Friendly.’”
“Ding, you have gained 10 points of global reputation.”
“It’s my duty, Your Highness,” Su Yu replied, turning his head to look at her. “But you need to hold on tight. I’m going to take you and Morning Star away from here.”
“Okay,” Aijie said, her eyes welling with tears as she glanced at the heavily wounded and unconscious Morning Star in her arms. She quickly sat up and grabbed onto the scales on Su Yu’s neck.
Without hesitation, Su Yu used his magic to keep Aijie securely on his back and flew as fast as he could toward the horizon.
It wasn’t long before they were out of the battle zone.
...
“Ding! Congratulations on completing the scenario battle [Desperate Escape]. The battle is now being rated.”
“The rating for this scenario battle is ‘SSS.’”
“Rating rewards: All experience points and Psychic Coins earned during the battle are increased by 50%. You will also receive one random blue rare-quality item and one random green excellent-quality item suitable for your level and class.”
“Thank you for your enthusiastic participation. The scenario battle [Desperate Escape] is now officially over!”
Upon receiving the system notification, the players on the princess’s side felt a sense of lingering excitement.
“Is it over already?” someone exclaimed.
It seemed as though the battle had nothing to do with them; Kexing had completed it almost single-handedly with the help of a [Sixth-Rank Temporary Experience Scroll].
However, riding on Kexing’s coattails was truly exhilarating!
In total, 6,111 players on the duke’s side were eliminated during the battle, with Kexing responsible for about 80-90% of those kills.
After the battle, each player on the princess’s side received a whopping 20,867 experience points! Most players were only around levels 13 or 14, and the experience needed to level up from 13 to 14 was just 16,000 points.
This meant that the 20,000+ experience points were enough for every player to level up, and they also received a blue rare-quality item and a green excellent-quality item. The rewards were much more generous than expected!
The player group on the princess’s side erupted in cheers:
“My God! A blue item as a reward?! I never thought my first blue item would come from this!”
“I did the math, and we each get 20,000+ experience points!”
“20,000+?! No more talking, Kexing is awesome!”
“Kexing is the best!”
“I hereby announce the official formation of the ‘Kexing Fan Club.’ Who wants to join?”
“Me, me, me!”
“Count me in!”
...
Snow Leopard looked at the excited and cheering players around him, feeling a sense of admiration. “No wonder Old Master Zhang is a legend. It’s true that following a seasoned veteran in the game is the way to go!”
Snow Leopard had always been a formidable individual, but even he felt a bit humbled in the presence of Old Master Zhang, a living fossil who had lived for centuries.
“Do you guys think how Old Master manages to be so good at the game?” Range Is Truth, standing nearby, asked, “Usually, these old-timers… cough, old masters, should be quite set in their ways, right?”
“Who knows?” Snow Leopard replied, his gaze following the direction where Su Yu had disappeared into the sky. “Maybe this is what they mean by ‘In times of chaos, heroes rise.’”
