Chapter 394: A Deal with Sylvanas
Chapter 394: A Deal with Sylvanas
"Trouble!" Su Yu's expression tightened.
Queen of the Banshees, Sylvanas is a unique and formidable presence. In addition to her mastery of shadow-based archery and martial arts, she excels at controlling the souls of living beings, including players.
If a player's soul falls under her control, it's not a simple matter of respawning after half an hour. Instead, they are trapped and tormented for an extended period, ranging from several days to several months, until rescued by another player or through a complex quest.
Su Yu had no intention of letting his soul be toyed with by this dark queen.
He quickly reverted to his human form and used Blink repeatedly to move as far away from her as possible.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In just 0.1 seconds, Su Yu had teleported 500 meters away.
"Ha, little one, where do you think you're running?" Sylvanas transformed into a black beam of light and pursued him.
The black mist surrounding her continually rose, and within it, the agonized cries of undead souls echoed, creating a terrifying atmosphere.
The moment Sylvanas appeared, the high-ranking Golden Flower faction members in the sky ceased their attacks and retreated.
They did not come to Su Yu's aid.
It would be foolish to do so. Originally, this battle involved only three Holy Domains and eight Fifth Ranks on each side, with no Seventh Rank Legends present. Who knew Sylvanas would suddenly appear and tip the balance!
No one dared to continue fighting and could only retreat.
However, they were deeply grateful to Su Yu in their hearts. By drawing Sylvanas' full attention, he ensured their safety.
Sylvanas ignored the retreating Golden Flower faction members and focused solely on chasing Su Yu.
Su Yu's previous self-destruction, which killed Granthek and sent shockwaves around the world, had left many nobles, especially his enemies, on edge. If he wasn't dealt with, they would not be able to sleep or eat in peace!
But Su Yu was an interdimensional adventurer, nearly invincible in their world. Only a few powerful souls like Sylvanas had the means to keep him imprisoned for an extended period.
So when she encountered Su Yu alone today, she immediately prioritized capturing him.
Whizz!
Sylvanas raised her bow, and another black beam of light, her signature skill—Ebon Arrow—raced toward Su Yu.
Ebon Arrow is not only incredibly powerful, inflicting over a dozen debuffs, but it also has the ability to automatically track the enemy within a small range. She had also predicted the landing point of Su Yu's Blink to ensure a 100% hit rate.
However, Su Yu showed no intention of stopping or dodging.
"Ice Shield!"
A shield of blue ice crystals instantly formed around him.
Clang!
Ebon Arrow struck the Ice Shield, which emitted a brilliant blue light, effortlessly absorbing the impact without a scratch.
The reason Ice Shield could easily withstand the Ebon Arrow was due to its powerful feature—Physical Barrier.
Physical Barrier: Immune to the first physical damage you receive. Note: The damage must not exceed 10 times the maximum shield value.
Sylvanas' Ebon Arrow, though powerful, could not exceed 10 times the Ice Shield's value, and was easily intercepted.
Moreover, the force of the arrow propelled Su Yu forward, allowing him to teleport several dozen meters more.
As Su Yu moved farther away, Sylvanas showed no signs of agitation.
The average flight speed of a Legendary Warrior is about six times that of a Saint. As long as Su Yu doesn't have enough mana to keep teleporting, he will eventually become her prey!
Moreover, Sylvanas's range isn't just 800 meters.
She raised her bow and aimed at Su Yu, arrows raining down and sealing off every escape route.
Sylvanas's archery skills were incredibly precise. Su Yu narrowly avoided being hit several times, and he had to use survival skills like the "Ice Barrier" and "Zhonya's Hourglass" to stay alive. However, these survival skills slowed down his escape.
...
After several minutes of chase, Su Yu and the Queen of the Banshees found themselves in an uninhabited mountain range about ten kilometers east of Seaside City.
Now, the distance between them was down to about 500 meters, and due to frequent use of "Flash," Su Yu's mana had dropped to the 30% warning line.
With no other choice, he stopped on a hill, sitting on an exposed rock and panting heavily.
"Done running?" Sylvanas smirked, slowing down in the sky and slowly approaching him.
"Can't run anymore," Su Yu wiped the sweat from his brow and sized up Sylvanas.
Actually, Su Yu wasn't too worried. He still had a trump card up his sleeve—the accessory "Secret Thorn."
"Secret Thorn" could summon the Legendary Warrior, Cecilia Nightblade, for two minutes, which would be more than enough time for him to escape.
However, Su Yu didn't want to use it lightly, as it would be destroyed after a single use, and he wasn't ready to part with it yet.
As Sylvanas drew closer, Su Yu calmly asked, "Why are you chasing me? I don't have any cough syrup."
"What 'cough syrup'?" Sylvanas furrowed her brow, not understanding what Su Yu meant.
But she was used to the nonsense spouted by interdimensional adventurers and didn't take it too seriously.
Sylvanas knew the truth that "villains die because they talk too much." When she was within 20 meters of Su Yu, the black mist in her hand transformed into four "Dark Mana Drakes," which surged toward Su Yu's head.
Su Yu, however, remained unperturbed and answered with a calm demeanor, "The 'cough syrup' I'm referring to is a large number of living souls. Interested?"
"Interesting." The four "Dark Mana Drakes" froze in mid-air, no longer advancing toward Su Yu's head.
"You know what I need?" Sylvanas's crimson eyes locked onto him, a faint aura of authority permeating the air, making it hard for Su Yu to breathe.
"Of course. We can make a deal. I can ensure you get ten times more living souls than you would by attacking the Golden Gorse Empire. I promise," Su Yu said with confidence.
The word "ten times" made the Queen of the Banshees hesitate.
There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. If Su Yu could provide her with what she needed, then...
She retracted the four "Dark Mana Drakes" and fired four arrows into the sky.
The arrows scattered like celestial flowers, transforming into four purplish-black chains that formed a pyramid, completely sealing off the space around them and eliminating any chance of Su Yu escaping.
"Alright, what deal do you want to make? Speak now," the Queen of the Banshees put her bow back and folded her arms, slowly approaching Su Yu.
