Chapter 33: Chapter 26: Killing the Five Dragon Generals

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Profound… Blue Sky!”

Dark Knight Leon saw Hero Kanan jump six to seven meters high in the air. His whole body rotated 360 degrees in the air like a spinning top. He suddenly smashed toward the head of Dark Knight Leon with a blue trajectory that struck.

Dark Knight Leon didn’t expect Kanan would cooperate with Zhang Yun. He didn’t have time to release his skills, so he could only raise his spear to block Kanan’s “Blue Sky” skill.

‘Bang!’

Along with a loud noise, the sword of Kanan chopped off Dark Knight Leon from his horse as he descended from the sky. He fell to the ground, and the spear in his hand flew a few meters away with a massive force. The weapon ended up embedded in a crack that constantly emitted lava and hot air.

“Damn it…”

Before Leon could finish his words, Kanan triggered the “Double Slash” skill. He continued to wave the red sword in his hand. At a high-frequency speed hard to catch by the naked eye, he left a blue afterimage on the spot and slashed at Dark Knight Leon’s head.

‘Bang! Bang!’

A vital point!

It was a critical hit!

However, Dark Knight Leon had a class with severely high physical defense and wore a fine heavy armor helmet hand-made by a famous volcano craftsman.

The actual damage he suffered was not much. It was like an ordinary person suddenly hit in the head by a wine bottle.

If it were a fragile class with extremely-low physical resistance, it would be like a vast billboard that fell from a three or four-story building. At best, the professional would have a concussion and faint, and at worst, the person would die on the spot.

And if the target was an ordinary mortal…

If a heavy truck ran over a watermelon at high speed, what would happen to the watermelon would be the same as what would happen to a real ordinary mortal. Even the gods could not save him.

It was the difference between professionals and ordinary mortals.

The difference between heaven and earth!

“Kanan…”

Dark Knight Leon gritted his teeth. His eyes were filled with ferocity.

Leon rolled back and reached out with his right hand. The spear that was stuck up in the ground turned into a black stream of light and disappeared. Then, it regathered in his right hand.

He specialized in martial arts.

It was an energy weapon that a chosen one formed.

It was different from the hand-forged weapons.

It differed from the class-specific weapons produced in the dungeon’s secret realms.

Their nature was the same as the Shadow Soldiers. Although they could not appear out of thin air a few hundred meters away, they could instantly return to the wielder’s side as long as they heard their master’s call, no matter where they were.

“Today, you guys… All of you will die here!”

As he said that, Dark Knight Leon raised the Dark Cursed Spear in his hand. And with his class skill, he ruthlessly attacked Kanan.

Not to be outdone, Kanan also raised the red sword in his hand and accurately and quickly made a few moves. He and Dark Knight Leon were like two wild wolves that fought and tangled with each other.

The combat level of the two far exceeded those of Shadow Soldiers. The Shadow Soldiers were only at the second level. On the other hand, the residual power of Kanan’s and Leon’s skills was intensely soul-crushing.

The Shadow Soldiers needed instructions, so they could only follow Zhang Yun’s orders and attack the heavy-armored knights who were lesser robust than them.

With the advantage of numbers and sudden attacks, the heavy-armored knights could not hold on for long before the opponent knocked off their horses. Then, several black shadows pierced through their abdomen, and they fell to the ground.

In the end, the heavy-armored knights were converted into new Level-2 Shadow Soldiers.

At the same time, Zhang Yun hid in the safest corner. He silently watched everything in front of him. His mind pondered quickly.

As expected…

“Personally interfering is just as I thought. It allowed my consciousness to enter Brother Shadow’s body. And the power of both sides would fuse. Not only could I personally command Brother Shadow to make the ‘more correct choice’, but I could also use the ‘Priest’ skills that I had brought with me. More importantly… I can also summon a Shadow Hero that I have already contracted on this plane as a shadow clone.”

The shadow clone of Fjolm did not have her memories and consciousness. She could not realize this world was her original home. And she could not comprehend that the two people in front of her were the Five Dragon Generals of the Prongia Empire.

The clone was akin to an ordinary Shadow Soldier.

However, Fjolm’s shadow doppelganger still retained the combat experience and awareness that her main body had.

“Even without my command, she could instantly judge the current situation and automatically choose the best response. She wouldn’t just stand there like a fool, not knowing what to do.”

This was much better than those ‘stupid donkey’ Shadow Soldiers who could only move once after being whipped.

There was more.

“If Fjolm and I break through the limit of the fifth level together, and I enter the simulation by personally interfering, it will also produce a dimension-lowering effect. Like an immortal that descended to the mortal world…”

While he pondered, the Shadow Soldiers had already annihilated the group of heavy-armored knights.

They surrounded the two members of the Five Dragon Generals who fought with each other. They did not act rashly but waited for Zhang Yun’s next order.

Zhang Yun instructed.

“Come back! Protect me! Fjolm… It’s your turn!”

With that, a black hexagram rose from the ground in front. Then a black shadow with an unclear face emerged. One could only vaguely see her graceful body and long black hair that danced in the wind as the shadow doppelganger condensed into Fjolm.

Zhang Yun subconsciously asked, “Can you tell who the enemy is?”

Fjolm was speechless.

She stretched out her right hand and summoned a long spear made of black shadows. Then, she held the spear with one hand. She rushed toward Dark Knight Leon and hit him on the back with a spear that released ice.

“Okay. It seemed that the shadow doppelgangers were the same as the Shadow Soldiers. As long as they are not far away, they can read my mind and follow my orders to fight. It wasn’t like the real Fjolm. The clone did not have any mind-reading ability.”

There was more.

The death of the shadow clone would only prevent Zhang Yun from using the ‘Personal Interference’ Option on his current round. It did not mean that Fjolm’s main body would also die permanently, nor did it mean that the ‘Personal Interference’ Option in the future could not summon her again.

This was much more useful than the Shadow Soldiers, which could be considered one-time consumables.

Zhang Yun could also command the shadow doppelgangers without worry.

To do anything…

After Zhang Yun figured out the nature of the shadow doppelganger, he hid behind the layers of protection of the Shadow Soldiers and began to watch the show with peace of mind. He waited for Hero Kanan and Fjolm to finish off Dark Knight Leon.

Anyway, if Kanan, in perfect condition, and Fjolm, with her amazing control, could still not beat Leon, Zhang Yun felt no need to continue this simulation round.

The earlier he died, the earlier he reincarnated. Zhang Yun would return to attack after he broke through the limit of the fifth level.

Wouldn’t that be wonderful?

Fortunately, things developed as Zhang Yun had expected. Dark Knight Leon was fighting against the Hero Kanan alone. He could still rely on his class to gain the upper hand.

However, with the addition of Fjolm who can freeze enemies and reduce their speed…

Leon was on the losing side.

With their teamwork, Fjolm only suffered a light injury, so she hid. Meanwhile, Kanan only paid the price of being shot in the abdomen three times. And then he cut down Dark Knight Leon.

Leon lay on the ground, covered in blood, and emitted a lot of heat. His face maintained that crazy and arrogant smile. And he weakly left his last words.

“Hehehehe… Kanan… I know you don’t believe me… I came to kill you under the order of the Flame Emperor… He just can’t bear to do it himself…”

Leon continued, “The 32 children of the Maple Leaf Clan are also necessary sacrifices for the sacrificial ceremony. No one can replace those children… So… Even if you kill me… The Flame Emperor will not let you off either… Enjoy it… The time that you guys can still breathe… Hehe… Hehehehe… Hahahaha…”

[System Notice: After killing the hero soul ‘Leon’, the favorability between you and the other party will enormously decrease, and this will continue until every subsequent simulation!]

[System Notice: After helping the hero soul ‘Kanan’, the favorability between you and the other party will increase slightly. And this will continue for every subsequent simulation!]
