Chapter 854: Shocking the Entire Hall
Chapter 854: Shocking the Entire Hall
"Do you want the Whirlcloud Core?" Yasade's figure solidified, his demeanor calm and composed.
The Whirlcloud Core was no ordinary item. It was the most crucial element in the entire Whirlcloud City, without a doubt.
The city's ability to float in the sky was entirely dependent on the eight massive, seventh-tier legendary Whirlcloud Cores embedded in the city's base.
The Whirlcloud Core not only granted the city the power to float permanently but also served as the primary energy source for the city's operations.
The elemental beings within Whirlcloud City existed solely to power the Whirlcloud Core and produce new ones to replace the old.
And now, Su Yu was asking for one of these cores...
...
"Adventurer," Yasade said in a calm tone, "Since you know about the Whirlcloud Core, you must understand its significance to our entire city, right?"
"Of course, I do," Su Yu nodded with a smile.
Yasade looked at Su Yu in silence for about seven or eight seconds before slowly saying, "I can give you a Whirlcloud Core..."
Before he could finish, the other elementals in the hall immediately panicked.
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely out of the question!"
"Your Majesty, the Whirlcloud Core is the lifeblood of our race. How can we give it to someone else?"
"Your Majesty, we cannot set this precedent! The consequences would be dire!"
"Your Majesty..."
"Enough!" The Whirlcloud King waved his massive wind-elemental arm, signaling his subordinates to be silent. "I understand the importance of the Whirlcloud Core better than any of you. But think about it—what if we lose this war? Do you think the Sand King will spare us and not take the Whirlcloud Cores?"
The elementals in the hall fell silent at their king's words.
He was right.
If the Sand King conquered their city, he wouldn't leave a single Whirlcloud Core behind.
Gegen, the Golem Elemental, hunched over, looking dejected. He spoke in a low, solemn voice, "While that's true, the Whirlcloud Core is still too important."
Gegen looked at Su Yu, "Adventurer, can you forgo the Whirlcloud Core? In return, I can leave with you and become your elemental servant, bound to you for life. My strength is considerable."
Gegen demonstrated his power to Su Yu, showing that he was at the peak of the sixth tier, a formidable force.
But Su Yu couldn't help but smirk.
What good are you to me?
Can you help me break through my current realm?
Su Yu shifted his gaze from the Golem Elemental to the Whirlcloud King, his expression serious. "Your Majesty Yasade, I need the Whirlcloud Core to prepare for breaking through to the Divine Realm. I am willing to make a contribution that matches the value of the Whirlcloud Core."
Yasade asked, "Are you planning to become a Divine Mage specialized in the Spatial Domain?"
"Exactly."
Yasade finally understood the reason behind Su Yu's visit. If Su Yu was dedicated to the Spatial Domain, the Whirlcloud Core was indeed a priceless treasure, making his request entirely reasonable.
"However, Adventurer," the Whirlcloud King looked at Su Yu, his tone serious. "The Whirlcloud Core is of immense value. You must make a significant contribution throughout the war for us to consider giving it to you. If you only show up to collect the reward without putting in the effort, we would rather see our city fall and our race perish than hand it over to you!"
As soon as Yasade finished speaking, a system notification sounded in Su Yu's ear.
"Ding, congratulations! You have triggered a Legendary Hidden Quest: The Defense of Whirlcloud City."
"Quest Description: The Sand Kingdom's long-planned attack on Whirlcloud City is underway. The city's twelve most important wind channels have already been lost, and the city is in grave danger.
”
Mission Requirements: Assist the Elemental Army of Whirlwind City in repelling the invaders from Quicksand Kingdom, reclaim the 12 lost wind channels, and earn at least 300,000 contribution points.
Contribution Points Progress: (0/300,000)
Mission Reward: [Whirlwind Core (Legendary)].
...
Su Yu quickly scanned the mission details.
"300,000 contribution points" sounded like a lot, and he wasn't sure how much effort it would take to earn them.
However, Su Yu didn't take the mission requirements seriously at all.
He closed the mission panel and calmly smiled at King Yashad of Whirlwind City: "Your Majesty, does the number of contribution points increase the more high-ranking enemies I kill?"
"Of course," Yashad replied, giving him a strange look.
Isn't that obvious?
Su Yu continued to smile. "What if I kill the [King of Quicksand]? How many points would I get?"
At Su Yu's words, King Yashad's massive form shook slightly.
The other elements in the hall couldn't contain their shock either. Some even fell to the ground.
Gergen, a Giant Rock Elemental, was one of those who fell. He quickly got up, fuming. "Adventurer, don't joke around! That's not funny at all!"
King Yashad also spoke with a tone of exasperation. "Let's not even talk about whether you have the strength to kill the [King of Quicksand]. If you really can do it, I'll give you 600,000 points, and you can take two [Whirlwind Cores] right now!"
"That's what you said," Su Yu said without a trace of emotion.
"That's exactly what I said. I always keep my word," Yashad affirmed.
If the [King of Quicksand] were to die, the thousands of elite Quicksand soldiers under his control would perish with him. The entire Quicksand Kingdom would crumble, and there would be no more talk of invading Whirlwind City!
At that moment, Su Yu heard another mission update in his ear.
"Ding, your Legendary Hidden Mission [Defense of Whirlwind City] has been updated. New addition: If you kill the [King of Quicksand], the mission reward will be doubled to [Whirlwind Core (Legendary)] x2."
...
Seeing the updated mission, Su Yu nodded in satisfaction.
The reward was even greater than he had expected! He had thought he would only get one [Whirlwind Core], but now he could get two!
He wasn't about to pass up this opportunity.
Su Yu reached into his necklace and pulled out an object, holding it high above his head. "This is the elemental core of the [King of Quicksand]. Not long ago, it died at my hands!"
The object in Su Yu's hand was about the size of a barrel, resembling a cylindrical form made of loosely packed sand.
The surface of the cylinder was constantly shifting, and it contained immense Earth energy.
Seeing the object in Su Yu's hand, King Yashad and the other elementals were completely stunned! No, "stunned" might be too mild; they were utterly shocked!
The sight of the core sent waves of shock through their minds. It really did look like the core of the [King of Quicksand]!
Not just the aura and appearance, but from every angle, it seemed genuine.
No way!
The [King of Quicksand], a peak Seventh-Rank power with countless strong subordinates, couldn't have really died at Su Yu's hands!
All the elementals stared at the core in Su Yu's hand, time seeming to freeze.
