Chapter 315 You Only Taste Real Despair When You Have 1 Luck Point!

Burned Cinder was up against Delosis.

It was a battle between flame users.

As an outstanding young man from the City of Dawn, Burned Cinder tried his best in the battle against Delosis.

It was a pity that this tough man only persisted for 13 minutes before admitting defeat.

If he hadn’t, he would have been beaten up by this guy, who was a reincarnation of a God.

It didn’t matter whether Delosis had recalled the memories of his previous life or not. In front of Delosis’s absolute endowment, Burned Cinder couldn’t inflict any harm, even though his flame ability was exceptional.

Although his attacks were fierce, Delosis was not weak either.

Burned Cinder wasn’t able to inflict any damage with his attribute. Rather, it was him, who had almost been roasted alive.

Currently, out of the five people from the City of Dawn participating in the competition, only William remained.

The lucky thing was that Brooke West, the fifth seed contestant belonging to the Mercenary Guild, was no match for William, at all.

Eight contestants including William, Sardin Peak, Delosis, and Andros, entered the finals.

After looking at the list of the match arrangements, everyone from the City of Dawn fell silent.

William was up against Andros.

Secondly, Sardin was up against Delosis once again.

“How can we fight against him?” Burned Cinder and Diablo had battled against Andros before, and only they knew how strong he was.

William shrugged. “If not? I can’t possibly run away?”

“My Lord, it’s better you admit defeat now. You already made it to the top eight anyway…” Alec sighed.

As for Annie?

She never persuaded her man to back down, nor would she actively ask him to face a crisis head-on.

Regardless of whoever William’s blade pointed at, she only needed to support him from behind.

The prince glanced at the others and lightly sighed. He looked at his mission dashboard.

The Magic Conference was considered as a mission.

If one was able to come in first in a Magic Conference, he would receive rewards equivalent to that of an S+ rank mission.

However, that only applied to Magic Conferences for players.

Magic Conferences for players were organized by NPCs, and NPCs were not allowed to participate in them.

Currently, William was participating in a Magic Conference meant for NPCs.

Ever since he had become a part of the top eight line-up in the southern region Magic Conference, the difficulty of his mission had already become S+.

The mainframe had calculated this based on his level, not taking into account his Legendary bloodline.

If he managed to make it to the top four, the difficulty level of the mission would either remain as S+ or would get changed to SS.

If he came in first in the southern region Magic Conference, the reward and difficulty level of the mission would definitely be SS grade.

However, if he chose to accept the rewards in advance, it meant that all the mission rewards he had accumulated until now would be gone.

There were two types of rewards for the Magic Conference mission.

One was given by the organizer, and the other was awarded by the mainframe.

An example would be that for every S-rank storyline mission, both NPC factions and the mainframe gave rewards.

However, if William were to collect his rewards in advance now, the difficulty of the mission would be recalculated.

This was a points-based system. The more opponents one defeated, the more points one received. With that, the difficulty of the mission would increase too.

If William collected his S+ mission reward now, this meant that the system would be reset.

Even if he really managed to clinch the top position in the Magic Conference, the points that he would have acquired by then could only be exchanged for A+ mission reward.

An A+ mission reward was a far cry from an SS mission reward.

After all, no player had managed to make it to the top ten in an NPC Magic Conference in his previous life. No one knew how the rewards would be like for a mission of this difficulty level.

“What should I do? Collect the reward now? Or give it a try?” William mulled over this for quite some time. He was extremely distressed.

Suddenly, the referee announced that it was time for him to go into the arena.

He finally came to a decision.

He would collect the reward now.

It could not be helped.

The trump card that Moses had left for him was specifically targeted at Delosis’s fire attribute. It would have no effect on Andros.

However, just before he was about to collect the reward, he found a rag doll in the corner of his space ring

William’s eyes instantly widened.

It was a Cursed Doll!

It was the only tool he had received from the Darkness Invasion mission.

[Effect: If you toss the Cursed Doll at the enemy, a horrifying doll will appear in his arms. The doll will use a small knife to stab at his chest.

At the same time, his Luck points will become 10% of yours. He will lose 100-1000 health points every three seconds, lasting for a duration of three hours.]

[Quality: Legendary!!!]

How much was 10% of William’s Luck points?

Wow! This was a touching story for William, and a sad story for the spectators…

The spectators looked at William, who was laughing like an idiot. They thought that he went crazy.

The handsome and cool Prince William gave a confident smile and pointed at Andros. “You’ll lose for sure.”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, not knowing where William’s confidence came from.

The Viscount of Darkness glanced at William in surprise and gave him a wide grin. “You’re dead for sure.” A creepy smile decorated his face.

Both of them stepped into the arena at the same time, staring at each other in the eyes.

William looked at Andros.

At this moment, he finally recalled where he had seen the look in his eyes and that smile.

Wasn’t it the signature smile of the Viscount of Darkness?

This was the look he gave when toying with professionals. It was all too familiar…

Countless players had made this expression of his into several memes.

For a moment, William really wanted to ask Roland to subdue this guy.

However, considering how alert the Viscount of Darkness was, as well as the impressive identity of the guy he was possessing, Roland was probably also unable to do anything against him.

Andros was the seeded contestant from the Palace of Darkness.

If Roland tried to attack him, the messenger from the Palace of Darkness would definitely interfere.

Frankly speaking, the Palace of Darkness messenger probably knew very well that Andros was being controlled. However, he certainly wouldn’t reveal the truth, nor would he listen to William’s explanation which lacked credible proof.

That would be too embarrassing, and it might result in several force centers becoming hostile to the Palace of Darkness.

“What weaknesses does the Viscount of Darkness have…” William pondered.

Hm!

Did having high Luck points count as a weakness?

The Viscount of Darkness had the blessing of both the God of Darkness and Lady Bad Luck.

It caused his Luck points to become insanely high.

This was why he had never been caught, and he could freely roam the Legendary continent.

However, the Cursed Doll was a Legendary tool.

It would be enough to torment him.

Andros saw that William was thinking about his strategy and seemed to have seen through his disguise. He didn’t want to drag this battle.

The referee gave the signal for the battle to commence.

Both Andros and William launched their most powerful attack.

At the start, they had already chosen to go all out to kill the other party.

That was right.

They wanted to get rid of each other’s registration tokens, which would release a so-called protective shield. One wanted to capture the other party’s soul, while the other wanted to destroy his opponent’s soul.

Andros’s body made crunching sounds, as blood seeped out from his body surface.

He was over-exerting whatever potential this body had left, in order to draw out his best combat power.

At this moment, black battle energy enveloped his body, making him look like a Demon God. He drew his sword and charged towards William, a series of explosion sounds trailing behind him.

The prince activated his Power of the Saint Spirit. All of his attributes became boosted by 23%.

He activated the Legendary Thunder Body endowment in his Rune Thunder equipment set. His thunder attribute attack power was boosted by 20%, and his thunder resistance was boosted by 30%. Each of his attacks would inflict 1,000 Thunder damage.

The moment William saw Andros dashing towards him, he activated the Dawn Assault to turn into a fast and fierce Thunder Dragon.

Both of them collided into each other.

To the spectators, they looked like two long lines, one blue and one black.

Wherever they passed by, the air literally sizzled.

Boom!

With a deafening sound, the explosion that they caused from colliding into each other had destroyed the arena’s magical barrier. An enormous pit appeared below their feet.

Their weapons clashed, and sounds of metal clanking ensued.

It was only now that everyone noticed that William was using a long black sword.

Everyone gasped in surprise. The sword gave them the chills.

The Viscount of Darkness winked. He couldn’t help but ask, “The Sword of Hegni, huh! Why do you possess such a weapon? Are you not scared of being cursed?”

“None of your business.” William grinned. Moses had already lifted the curse on this sword.

Well, regardless of whether the curse was lifted or not, it didn’t matter to William…

He only had 1 Luck point anyway.

It was just that the sword emitted a sense of despair that was leftover from the curse, which daunted people.

However, when William swung his sword again, the Viscount of Darkness deliberately chose not to use the previous sword he wielded in the battle…

He was aware of the effects that the Sword of Hegni brought about. It had the effect of destroying equipment. The fierce collision earlier on actually managed to make his weapon crack.

The Viscount of Darkness silently cursed William. He was possessing another body with his soul now, so he couldn’t use his own weapon. Otherwise, he could have definitely annihilated William with ease.

He would just have to use his combat skills to defeat William.

He slashed downwards with his sword.

Woosh!

A dark sword energy attack was formed. From the side, it looked like a slender willow branch. The intensity of the sword energy made it look like a solid substance.

William held up his Sacred Shield with his left hand!

Boom!

The Sacred Shield dissipated into nothing.

The powerful sword energy attack was still moving forward.

But, a terrifying thing happened.

William nonchalantly raised his left hand. He pinched the sword energy between his fingers.

Crack!

Bang!

The sword energy exploded into scattered magic particles, lingering in the air.

While the Viscount of Darkness was surprised, William launched a series of nine sword energy attacks.

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!

The Viscount of Darkness blocked five of the sword energy attacks before realizing that these attacks didn’t inflict much damage. After that, he didn’t even bother blocking them. He merely used his battle energy shield as an obstruction.

In reality, William also knew that his consecutive Battle Energy Cuts weren’t powerful at all. Even a kick would inflict much more damage!

However, this attack was very useful in obstructing his opponent’s sight.

The Viscount of Darkness didn’t notice that a rag doll was mingled with the ninth sword energy attack.

As the Cursed Doll landed on him, his expression drastically changed.

He could sense that his blessing from Lady Bad Luck had been temporarily removed.

Most importantly, he sensed that his superb Luck points had hit rock bottom…

It wasn’t even rock bottom, but more of a deep abyss that had no end…

No!

It wasn’t a deep abyss.

It was the most terrifying Hell that was filled with despair!

Who was the Viscount of Darkness?

He was a lucky man, who had killed millions of dark creatures…

Regardless of whether his combat power was strong or not, he was an exceptionally lucky guy.

He didn’t expect the enemy to deal him such a blow.

He instantly sensed that his strongest endowment had been weakened to the maximum.

Meanwhile, a horrifying doll appeared at his chest. It was using a small knife to furiously stab at his chest.

While stabbing at his chest, the doll was also laughing like a maniac…

The Viscount of Darkness wanted to grab the horrifying doll, but he missed…

Of course, he wasn’t scared of a rag doll. He just felt very depressed.

William grinned. “You have been instilling terror in others all your life, but have you tasted real despair yourself before?”

Upon seeing William speak confidently, the Viscount of Darkness didn’t want to reply, neither did he dare to.

He didn’t have a good feeling about this.

William laughed in his heart. “This is how Orcs fight. They would drag the enemy down to the same level as themselves and use their rich experience to defeat the enemy.”

“Damn it! I swear that I will kill you today!”
