Chapter 1264: Cyan Dragon Shield
Translator: alyschu
"Fuck!"
An ashen-faced Warsky swore out loud. "How is it that Lu Chen gets the prize every single time? I lost a level but never even got to touch the Dragonslaying Sword! This is so unfair!"
Farewell Song bent down slightly and slipped into stealth mode. He said, "If we donât try to steal the Dragonslaying Sword from Lu Chen now, we may lose the chance forever. And if Lu Chen has the Dragonslaying Sword, Ancient Sword Dreaming Soulsâ status may truly become unshakeable. How much longer must we wait before we finally surpass them?"
Laughing At The Heavens agreed. "Yes, I agree with Farewell Song here. Itâs not like anyone is fighting for justice this time. Weâre all just gunning for the Dragonslaying Sword and the power that comes with it."
However, October Rain blocked their way and said, "Stop inconveniencing me already, you fools. This is one of the worst timing possible to seize the Dragonslaying Sword. Lu Chen has a stealth skill, and heâs protected by Lin Yixin, He Yi and Beiming Xue right now. Not only is it highly unlikely that weâll succeed, weâll be criticized for acting like bandits. Warsky, have you already forgotten your original aspiration already? You wanted to dominate China via virtue, not power, remember?"
Warsky hummed for a moment before nodding. "Yes, Little Rain is correct. Warsky Alliance is a guild of benevolence, not tyrannyâŠ"
âŠâŠ
Beside Warsky, Song of Cloud and Water bit her lips like she wanted to say something.
Song of Ice and Fire walked up to her, gave her sleeve a tug before whispering beside her ears, "Are you really not going to reconsider your decision, guild leader? Soul Battle Robes was a great guild that once ruled a corner of the world, and we have our own territory now. There was never any need to attach ourselves to Warsky Alliance. I couldâve ignored this if that âsenior brother Warskyâ of yours was a formidable character, but seriously, even you can see heâs not all that impressive, canât you? Just give me, God Bone and Ringwraith the order, and weâll attempt to steal the Dragonslaying Sword from Lu Chen. If we succeed, weâll be able to declare our independence and found our dynasty immediately!"
Song of Cloud and Water blinked once. "ButâŠ"
"No buts, guild leader. Your brother, Seven-Star Lamp, was a man who could go toe-to-toe with the likes of Frivolous Scholar. We may no longer be what we used to be, but that is no reason to act like cowards forever!"
God Bone nodded in agreement. "Yeah. We joined Heavenblessed because Brother Seven told us to, and because we wanted to help you conquer the world. We didnât join this game to be Warskyâs lackeys. If you still canât understand this, you will never be able to unite Soul Battle Robesâ hearts, miss."
Song of Cloud and Water thought for a moment longer before finally nodding. "Alright. Weâll do as you say!"
"Good!"
âŠâŠ
The skilled are often bold, and both Song of Ice and Fire and God Bone were very skilled. The moment they started walking toward me, I knew that they were aiming for the Dragonslaying Sword.
I smirked.
Swhoosh!
I raised my arm and canceled my Fusion Armor. Then, I jumped onto my dragonâs back and flew over their heads like I was crossing an arch bridge, giving them no chance to attack me at all. After I reached my destination, I descended to the ground and activated Fusion Armor once more.
Rustle rustleâŠ
Xue Wei made her way toward me while I walked toward her. Pleasant surprise spread across her face when she saw the Dragonslaying Sword in my left hand. "You⊠you actually brought us the Dragonslaying Sword? This is perfect, perfect! HeheâŠ"
I shot the Dragonslaying Sword a glance before passing it to Xue Wei. The weapon possessed the same Attack as my Chill of the Nine Provinces, but it couldnât be equipped by players because it was marked as a quest item. Therefore, Iâd lose nothing by giving it to Xue Wei. "This is the item you requested, Xue Wei. Now, about that rewardâŠ"
Xue Wei nodded smilingly as she accepted the weapon. "Thank you for freeing this sword from Mingyuâs evil enslavement and bringing it to the humans and all good undead. You may now receive the reward you and your friends deserveâŠ"

There was also a system announcement. I shouldâve known that an SSS Rank main quest would trigger oneâ

In the distance, Warsky and Candlelight Shadow exchanged a somewhat helpless look with each other. Warsky complained, "Seriously? Are we cameos in Lu Chenâs movie again?"
Candlelight Shadow didnât say anything, but his narrowed eyes said it all: You at least got one of the Twelve Divine Armaments, the Immortal Blade. I still havenât gotten sh*t!
I checked my bag. The system was a miser, but not even it could be stingy with the reward of an SSS Rank main quest. The gold reward alone was 150k, so the equipment reward it had given me was bound to be amazing as well!
A long, indigo-colored shield was sitting snugly at a corner of my bag. Cyan dragons floated across its surface, and vague draconic roars could be heard from time to time. I knew immediately that it was probably better than even my Dragon God Shield. The Dragon God Shield was an amazing piece of equipment, but it was Level 175 only. It was about time I replaced it. I brought up the Cyan Dragon Shieldâs stats screen and wasnât disappointed by it in the slightestâ

Introduction: In ancient times, many ancient divine dragons had fought each other to become the Dragon God. At first, the five-headed golden dragon was clearly stronger than all its competitors. However, a rainbow cloud suddenly appeared in the sky, and a giant dragon covered in cyan scales descended from above. So tough were its scales that the golden dragon was unable to wound it even after being allowed to use its dragon breath ten times without retaliation. That was the beginning of a legend of the cyan dragon that would later become the Dragon God and the target of all experts of its era. The cyan dragon ultimately died of old age, and its soul transformed into the shield that will be known as the Cyan Dragon Shield. It is said that the bearer of the Cyan Dragon Shield will become nigh invulnerable.

The stats were incredibly impressive. As a Level 225 shield, its Defense was more than 4 times greater than the Dragon God Shieldâs. I wouldâve swapped it based on this alone if it wasnât for the fact that my old shield had a 25-second invincibility skill, and my new shield didnât.
It didnât take me long to decide that the Cyan Dragon Shield was the better choice though. As a fighter, there was no such thing as enough Defense. Two, Ancient Divine Skills made invincibility skills a lot less desirable than before. There were 99 Ancient Divine Skills in total, and the China server alone had over 30 Ancient Divine Skill owners after the Sky Vortex had opened. What was the point of holding onto an item with an invincibility skill when the enemy could pierce it anyway? At the current stage of the game, offense was the best defense. Plus, I was skilled enough that an invincibility skill wasnât mandatory to my survival.
Crack!
The Cyan Dragon Shield appeared on my left arm for a second before slowly dissolving into the mark of a cyan dragon. I pumped some strength into the limb, and the shield appeared again with a flash that almost blinded me. It was nothing compared to my current Defense though!

What an IMBA amount of Defense! I now had a base Defense of 84k, and if I were to add the tally all the boosts from my equipmentâ145% from the Cyan Dragon Shield, 150% from the Ancient Divine Dragon, 50% from the Necklace of the War Godâs Broken Blade, 45% from the Fire God Helmet, 95% from the Guardian Dragon Armor, 45% from the Sunchaser Cloak, 45% from the Sea Suppressing Poleyn, 45% from the Purple Cloud Ring, and 25% from the Apparition Ringâthat wasâwait, give me a second to use the calculatorâ645% in total. Finally, there was a base boost of 100%, so my real Defense was really 84865 x 7.45 = over 630k effective Defense!
The numbers made my head spin round and round. After I entered Dragon Domain and obtained the Guardian Dragon Armor and the Cyan Dragon Shield, my Defense had risen to insane levels!
Lin Yixin was staring at my Cyan Dragon Shield since I equipped it. She asked, "This⊠is a Sacred Armament, isnât it? Is it your quest reward?"
I nodded. "Thatâs right. Youâre so smart, Yiyi."
However, she looked furious. "OMG, Why did you get a Sacred Armament, but I only got an Ancient Immortal-grade item? Itâs so unfair! It mustâve boosted your Defense a lot, right?"
I smiled. "Yep! You know what, try hitting me with your strongest skill, Yiyi. Letâs see how much damage you can do to me now?"
"Seriously?"
"Seriously. Now come!"
I canceled Battle Astral Wind and raised one of my arms, saying, "Hit me here!"
"Okay!"
A fiery cone appeared around the blade of Lin Yixinâs dagger. It was Barrier Break, a skill that ignored 65% of my Defense, the cheeky girl. Oh well, just this once.
Puchi!
The Barrier Break pierced my Cyan Dragon Shield and rocked my chest. I immediately dropped a huge chunk of HPâ
221982!
Damn. Even with the Cyan Dragon Shield, Lin Yixin was still powerful enough to pierce my Defense. The Light Wanderer class truly had insane Strength scaling.
This time, Lin Yixin used a basic attack and only managed to inflict a shower of sparks from my shieldâ
54772!
The damage number was so shocking that Lin Yixin forgot what she was doing. "Ahhhhh! What is going on here? Why canât I penetrate your Defense anymore??"
I grinned. "I have 630k effective Defense now, girl! You wonât be able to breach it easily!"
"You madman!"
"HahaâŠ"
âŠâŠ
I made the rounds and learned that everyone got great rewards as well. Beiming Xue got a pair of Sacred Armament leather armor legguards, while Murong Mingyue got a Sacred Armament headdress that boosted healing by a ton. Everyone else got Ancient Immortal-grade equipment.
Back to the NPCs, Karinshan was clutching her chest wound and glaring at Mingyu. "What else do you have left now that youâve lost even the Dragonslaying Sword?"
Contrary to her expectations, the former number one boss grinned maliciously. "Have you heard of the name Strella?"
Karinshan shuddered visibly. "The⊠the Dragon God? Where is it!"
Mingyu pointed behind himself. "It is protecting the eggs of four Holy Giant Dragons inside the Dragon God Cave right now. They are almost about to hatch too. You ask me what else I have left to destroy you people? Now you know. Hahahaha!"
âŠâŠ
WhooshâŠ
Suddenly, my shield arm shivered a little.
Lin Yixin tilted her head in confusion. "Whatâs wrong? Are you nervous?"
My eyes burned with obvious greed. "Didnât you hear what he said, Yiyi? He said that Strellaâs protecting four Holy Giant Dragon eggs! Pet eggs! This is why we came to Dragon Domain, isnât it?!"
1. Isnât it ironic how heâs replacing âDragon God Shieldâ with a shield from the actual Dragon God?
2. Makes you wonder why his previous shield was even called Dragon God, huh
3. Screw the calculator result I guess, author still hit us with an approximation xD Itâs 632244 guys
