VRMMO: The Unrivaled

Chapter 762: The Oath

Translator: alyschu

I nearly broke into tears. To think that I would become a Divine General at the last possible moment! The heavens were definitely watching over me today!

A new icon appeared in my skill list. According to the latest data, Great Earth Transformation costs 1 Divine Energy Point per minute to maintain, and a player started with max divine energy, or 200 Divine Energy Points, right off the bat.

Divine Energy Point: Points needed to create divine energy. Kill 100 units to gain 1 Divine Energy Point. historical

Great Earth Transformation: Create a totem of the Great Earth and transform. Hidden Attack, HP and Defense greatly increased, all resistances increased by 100%.

......

Nice! Great Earth Transformation increased all my resistances by 100%, meaning that I was now a lot more resistant toward arrows, magic and even stuns.

However, what concerned me the most right now was the Divine General Skill. I glanced at the corner of the skill window and saw a golden icon. I received a system notification when I attempted to trigger it—

Ding~!

System Notice: Good day, player! This is the first time you trigger the Ancient Seal. Please enter two characters to confirm the contents of the seal!

"Huh?!"

I was confused to say the least, but there was no time to figure out exactly what it meant, so I immediately typed in the words "Sword" and "Soul”. The reason I chose these two words were very simple. One, a human cannot call themselves a human without a Soul. Two, a Sword is necessary to defend this Soul. Finally, it was a reflection of the name of our guild, Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls.

Ding~!

System Notice: The contents of the seal have been confirmed. You may use the skill now!

......

I sucked in a deep breath and killed the dozen assassins attempting to sneak up on me with Burning Blade Slash. Then, I activated Greath Earth Transformation!

BOOM BOOM BOOM...

Three cyan dragons immediately burst out of the ground and transformed into swords. They spun around me slowly almost as if they were defending me from harm. Besides that, a layer of cyan flames appeared on my armor, and swirls of energy appeared around my sword every time I swung it. I didn’t realize that Great Earth Transformation would look this awesome because I initially thought that the visual effects were identical across the board. As it turned out, male and female players didn’t share the same Great Earth Transformation visual effects. Lin Yixin was surrounded by indigo lotus petals, while I was surrounded by cyan swords.

"Who cares if he transforms or not! He can be killed all the same!" someone shouted from the crowd, and immediately after, a ton of skills such as Dragon’s Roar and Shock Arrow came flying my way. However, most of the attacks only caused ripples to appear on the cyan swords, and the damage I took was reduced by 70% at least! It was amazing!

Now then, it’s time to test out the Ancient Seal!

After I activated the skill, a golden seal with the word "Sword" immediately appeared in my palm. Under my conscious control, the seal abruptly flew into the clouds in a rush before coming back down a lot bigger than before! Before the enemy could react, it imprinted on the ground and dealt AoE damage to all players within 20x20 yards!

Boom!

Golden light filled everyone’s vision as the word "Sword" was physically etched onto the ground. It almost looked like the light was bursting out of the ground. Countless jaws hit the floor as the players hit by the skill dropped to the ground and suffered unbelievable amounts of damage—

138278!

136273!

163676!

......

My own jaw was on the floor, to be honest. I never expected the Ancient Seal to be this powerful!

I also noticed that using Ancient Seal reduced my Divine Energy by 1 point. Obviously, this meant that the skill couldn’t be used infinitely... but in a war like this where enemies were everywhere, and every 100 kills restored 1 Divine Energy Point? It might as well be!

I swung my sword to the side and cut an archer and his bow in half. At the same time, I summoned another golden seal—this time it was the word "Soul"—and cleared out another patch of the battlefield. Next, I quickly identified the locations of the enemy’s archer and mage parties and dished out 5 seals in a row. Screams immediately filled the air, and countless bodies exploded into potions and equipment as my seals hit them. The Ancient Seal was unbelievably powerful!

I used 7 seals in a row and consumed 7 Divine Energy Points. However, I also recouped 6 Divine Energy Points after all the people I killed. Technically speaking, I could use it infinitely as long as the enemies were packed tightly!

......

"Fuck... this is so OP..." said Xu Yang after sucking in a deep breath.

High Fighting Spirits gulped. "God damn, the vice leader is almost invincible at this point, isn’t he? This Ancient Seal is literally godlike..."

Beiming Xue smiled. "Mn, mn! Big bro is the best forever!"

Chaos Moon said, "Now that Blade of Kings is dead, Vienna’s Sorrow is probably going to join the battle soon, isn’t he?"

He Yi murmured, "Do your best..."

Luo River God of the Capital let out an optimistic chuckle. "Alright, I guess there is a bit of hope after all. Who would’ve thought that Lu Chen would be this OP?"

......

A while later, I silently stared at Vienna's Sorrow from a distance while standing atop a sea of corpses.

"Hmph!"

Vienna’s Sorrow snorted and said indifferently, "There’s nothing to be afraid of. He’s just a Divine General who learned Great Earth Transformation, that’s all. Did you see how low his level is? The bigger the level gap, the greater the level penalty is. Eventually, even resistances will be ignored. Once he falls below Level 130, he’ll be as weak as a child, no matter his status or transformation!"

Vienna’s Sorrow then ordered, "Now, keep up the attack! Also, all catapults, aim at Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand and crush him with your rocks!"

The remaining 6000+ Bloodthirsty Beast Cavalrymen and the mages, priests and archers behind them advanced toward me in formation again. This time, a large group of assassins stealthed over and attempted to stun me with their daggers.

Boom boom boom!

I easily one-shot them all with War Crush. However, I was also struck by the rain of rocks falling out of the sky. It hurts despite the power of Great Earth Transformation!

My HP dropped rapidly once more, proving that neither Great Earth Transformation nor Divine General was a status of invincibility.

I charged forward and cleared out a path with three seals and Burning Blade Slash. Originally, my plan was to take out the enemy catapults, but when I got about a hundred yards in I was surprised to find that nearly a thousand catapults had been set up in various corners. It would take forever to break them all one by one.

Left with no choice, I charged back to the Life Barrier and defended it with my life. I was only one person, and there was only so much I could do. I had no choice but to fight under the seemingly unending bombardment.

"Charge!"

Vienna’s Sorrow commanded a troop of Bloodthirsty Beast Cavalry to attack, but most of them were killed before they even got close to me. Great Earth Transformation boosted my hidden attack power, Resurrection Art increased my Attack by 100%, and Martial God, by 200%. Even the simplest attack could deal 50k damage or more. I was lethal to say the least.

Swhoosh!

Another Ancient Soul Seal rushed into the clouds and crashed atop a troop of cavalry, killing nearly a hundred of them in an instant. They had exactly one chance to survive the Ancient Seal. It was game over if their HP wasn’t high enough!

It took me less than twenty minutes to kill 6000+ Bloodthirsty Beast Cavalrymen. Forget Vienna’s Sorrow, even I was shocked by my own DPS. Like a god of slaughter, I paid no heed to the attacks thrown my way and killed everything that came my way. During this time, I died three times and had to activate Resurrection Art twice, dropping my level to 148. This meant that I no longer met the equipment requirement anymore. Of course, as long as I didn’t take off the equipment myself, they would still remain functional. There was no need to take them off while repairing them either. All it took was one tap, and everything would be as good as new. One-key repair banzai...

......

My perception of time was growing slower and slower. As my level dropped lower and lower, a fatal flaw started appearing in my battle strategy. My attack power had dropped considerably when I fell to Level 131, but that was nothing compared to the drastic reduction of my resistances. The enemy’s Charges were growing more and more effective on me.

Bang!

A Shock Arrow stunned me once more. A couple of laughing magic knights immediately ran up to me and hit me with 7 Barrier Breaks!

Thud thud thud thud...

It absolutely didn’t feel good to be skewered. After I came back to life, a dozen or so Dragon’s Roar struck me next and forced me to lose another level. My Attack boost was sitting at 400% at this point.

I raised my arm and launched Thousand Ice Slash!

Boom!

The icy storm dealt a ridiculous 200k+ damage to each unit struck, but the problem was that 50% of its hits missed their target! I could no longer hit some of my opponents because there was at least a 20-level gap between us!

......

Vienna’s Sorrow sneered as he continued to look at me from afar. "Give it up, Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand. There’s no way you can hold on for another hour. Don’t tell me you’re still not satisfied with the amount of people you dragged into your grave? It’s time to admit that the Northern Alliance isn’t a power you can resist, and that Dawn City will be ours one way or another!"

I clenched my sword and growled, "Dream on! I won’t let you set one foot into Dawn City’s palace even if I drop to Level 1!"

"Stubborn fool!" Vienna’s Sorrow’s face grew angry.

I had taken out all 10000 of the Bloodthirsty Beast Cavalry, so the Northern Alliance sent another group of elite cavalry to engage me. I continued blocking in front of the entrance and fought with all my might.

......

Resurrection Art triggered repeatedly, and my level fell below 100 in just the blink of an eye. At this point, my attacks couldn’t hit my opponents even 25% of the time. What was the point of having high Attack if you couldn’t hit your enemies?

My Divine Energy Point had also fallen below 40, but there was still an entire hour to endure. Anxiety scorched against the walls of my heart.

Chiang!

A Level 156 berserker warrior riding a black warhorse hit my armor with his axe. He then laughed savagely at me and said, "Drop to your knees, king of China!"

Boom!

The level penalty was too great. The Armored Ice Qilin Horse lost control of its forelimbs, and I actually dropped to my knees.

"Fuck..." A nameless fury burned in my heart, but a dozen of arrows hit my chest just as I rose back to my feet. The Armored Ice Qilin Horse finally lost all of its mount tenacity and vanished, and I took another killing blow to the chest only to rise once more like a zombie.

......

"FUCK THIS SHIT!"

Suddenly, a crying Gui Guzi drew his spear and shouted, "Boss Broken Halberd! I... I don’t care anymore! I’m going to save him no matter what the cost!"

Gui Guzi charged out of the Life Barrier, and a thunderbolt fell from the sky. Gui Guzi lost 30 levels because of it!
