Chapter 578 - 578 451 Angel's Tears (Two in One)

578: Chapter 451: Angel’s Tears (Two in One) 578: Chapter 451: Angel’s Tears (Two in One) Now, the battle below was raging, and several Horror Demons no longer posed a threat.

After being bombarded by the Phoenix 4 fighters, they had plummeted straight to the ground.

The power of the Phoenix Flame Missiles was immense, too much for even the Horror Demons with their hardy constitutions, and by now they were nearly all done for.

The only trouble was that Fallen Angel.

At this moment, all four fighter planes had crashed, leaving only a few helicopters in the air at the scene.

Clearly, these helicopters alone were absolutely incapable of taking down that monster.

Reinforcements from the Vermilion Bird Army were on the way; this time, 8 Phoenix 4 fighters were due to arrive on the scene.

However, under the current circumstances, the monster already seemed to be gradually regaining control over its Dark Energy.

Once it succeeded, whether those fighters would be effective or not remained an unknown variable.

Zhang Xiaoman was naturally aware of the situation below, as Star Order was presenting everything that happened there before him through a holographic projection.

However, while he watched the projection, he was also busy with another task—upgrading.

After today’s fierce battle, Zhang Xiaoman had so far garnered a total of 1073 points.

Subtracting the 400-plus points that needed to be allocated as Contribution Value, he had about 600 points available for his own use.

600 points, if used solely for upgrading, could allow for over 60 upgrades, which was undoubtedly a huge improvement.

With a bit of luck, he might even manage to gather the 50 upgrade points needed to level up from Purple Second Rank to Purple Third-tier for the Star Shining Knight.

That, of course, was rather unlikely.

Besides, his current goal was not that, but the Holy Spirit Essence.

The Holy Spirit Essence’s upgrade points were at 4/5, needing just one more to upgrade.

Hitting that one chance within 60 tries, he felt that even with bad luck, it shouldn’t be too difficult to achieve, right?

His finger constantly tapped on the interface, with system prompts flashing rapidly before his eyes.

Zhang Xiaoman didn’t have the time to check each upgraded item or skill effect in detail.

He merely glanced briefly at what skills they were, pausing only slightly when he saw the names of purple skills to see if it was the item he needed.

“Random upgrade draw in progress, please wait…”

“Upgrade successful!

Blue Item—Mountain and River Sword·Thousand Forged, has been successfully upgraded to Purple Item—Mountain and Sea Sword.”

“Random upgrade draw in progress, please wait…”

“Upgrade successful!

Blue Item—Hundred Flowers Brewed Cloak, has been successfully upgraded to Purple Item—Ten Thousand Spirit Dew Cloak.”

“Random upgrade draw in progress, please wait…”

“Upgrade successful!

Blue Skill—Gale Thrust·Fifth Layer, has been successfully upgraded to Purple Skill—Netherworld Guide.”

“Random upgrade draw in progress, please wait…”

“Upgrade successful!

Blue Skill—Bounce Five Flashes, has been successfully upgraded to Purple Skill—Mountain Shattering Technique.”

“…”

A string of system prompts emerged before his eyes, and Zhang Xiaoman took note of a few of the purple abilities.

Many skills that were initially at the White Level had somehow leapfrogged to achieve Purple Level status.

For instance, the last one, Gale Thrust·Fifth Layer, had originated from a White Level skill called Stepping Forward Slash.

Incredible as it was, it progressed through the ranks, first becoming a Green Level Gale Slash before upgrading to the Blue Level Gale Thrust, and now had transformed into the Purple Skill Netherworld Guide.

However, what frustrated Zhang Xiaoman was the fact that the Holy Water he needed had not appeared even once.

“Come on, I must have clicked almost 50 times by now, right?

The Dragon Egg has even upgraded to Purple Second Rank; how come I still can’t random to this Holy Spirit Essence?”

At that moment, Zhang Xiaoman was suddenly gripped by the fear of being under the influence of the ‘unlucky halo’ he once experienced while playing a card game, and a saying popped into his mind.

No fate but what we make, no amount of spending can save the luckless!

As he was contemplating whether to allocate some of the contribution points, a system prompt suddenly appeared before his eyes, startling him and abruptly stopping his finger that was ready to click for another upgrade.

“Upgrade successful!

Purple Item—Holy Spirit Essence, has been successfully upgraded to Purple Second Rank Item—Angel’s Tears.”

“It worked!?”

Zhang Xiaoman paused for a moment and then quickly realized that after dozens of random upgrades, he had finally obtained this item.

He immediately took out the previous bottle of Holy Spirit Essence, and now this small bottle had changed its appearance.

It was a peculiarly shaped transparent bottle, cut right down the middle into two halves.

The left half contained concentric circles of luminescent white light, while the right half was filled with a mist of blood-red fog.

At this time, the light and fog churned continuously, seemingly trying to come together but being kept apart, unable to touch each other.

He then opened its attribute panel.

[Angel’s Tears]

The tears of an angel.

—It is rumored that angels only shed tears at times of utmost despair, and their tear water contains their most pure Divine Power.

The description was brief and apt for a Holy Water Series item, but all of that was unimportant—the only thing that mattered was that it had to be effective.

Zhang Xiaoman glanced at the two different colored fogs inside the bottle, but then he suddenly remembered a legend he once read about online.

It was said that when angels cried, it marked the direst of times for living beings.
