[Do you want to upgrade the Torso of Thunder?]
(Yes!)
(Upgrading]
(Prompt: Torso of Thunder will be assimilating Fury of Thunder and Power of Thunder)
[Prompt: The success rate is 93%]
[Prompt: Are you going to proceed?]
“Gosh! Based on my luck, will it be successful? Is Lady Luck lifting her skirt?” William almost pressed the button when he saw the 93%
success rate.
But then he silently glanced at his Luck Points.
Sigh!
The prince felt very tired all of a sudden.
Even though Lady Luck had lifted her skirt, she was still wearing foolproof safety pants. That was despicable!
So he looked at Annie again.
And caressed her delicate and smooth thighs.
Pa!
This time he was slapped.
But William did not release his grasp. Instead, he immediately proceeded with the upgrade.
Seconds later, a bell rang.
William’s eyes instantly widened.
(Prompt: The Torso of Thunder, the Fury of Thunder and the Power of Thunder have been upgraded to the Body of Thunder (mutated)]
(Body of Thunder (mutated): Your thunder attack and defenses, both, will be increased by 2,000.
Thunder damage from Grandmaster and above professionals will be reduced by 10%, while thunder damage from Advanced professionals will be reduced by 20%. Thunder damage from Intermediate and below professionals will be reduced by 50%.
Your thunder affinity will increase by 50% (All thunder attributes are increased by 50%)
{Thunder Heart (Passive): Your heart is as powerful as nature’s thunder. The enemy’s attack will create a resonance of the Thunder Heart, causing your heart to beat harder and heal 20% of the damage inflicted and 2% of one’s Health Point limit. (Not including negative buffs)}
{Thunder Strike: Using all the Power of Thunder in your body, you will inflict 10,000+ (Thunder attack x500%) thunder damage.}
{Consumption: None}
{Cooldown: 12 hours}
{Side Effects: You will lose the effects of all thunder endowment in the following one hour.}]
Hmm! After William saw the ‘Body of Thunder (mutated)’, he silently gave a thumbs-up.
He did not know what to say for such awesomeness.
Without a doubt, he was going to become very powerful.
He would not have to depend on his equipment or the scrolls given by Moses to become a powerful prince.
William was now a mature prince, who had the Disposition of a Sage.
Well, he was not as strong as a sage, but he was no weakling either.
Besides the other effects of the endowment, the passive effect of Thunder Heart was powerful beyond imagination…
It was able to heal 20% of the damage inflicted and 2% of one’s Health Point limit.
“It’s shamelessly… fantastic! I will recover Health Points whenever someone inflicts damage on me. If the damage is not more than 2% of my Health Points, I will be at full health.
“My opponents will curse and swear at me.
“Only the players will inflict such low damages…” William was exploding with exhilaration.
“I’m, once again, a step closer to becoming a powerful Human shield…”
William stroked his chin. “With this endowment, if the soul-wounded Viscount of Darkness dares to create trouble again, I’ll beat the hell out of him.”
His upgrade was not a minor one. It was a great leap forward.
He had an endowment which many Legendary shield-bearers did not have.
What was this called?
Character!
It had nothing to do with Luck Points.
He thought of a sentence.
Only such a simple, kind, handsome, innocent, naive, and lovely indigo child like him could obtain this kind of talent.
And he had a tried and tested fatal move that surpassed all his other powerful moves.
His powerful moves were ‘Light of Dawn’, ‘Destructive Sword Energy’, and ‘Thunder Finger’.
But the damage of Thunder Strike was preposterous.
“With Thunder Strike, I don’t have to resort to using the prohibited moves. My eyes became blind because I used the Left Hand of the Thunder God. What if next time I use it, other parts of my body become damaged?” William sighed…
Some parts of his body could not be replaced…
He had no intention to replace them either…
When William was fighting with the Viscount of Darkness, he had been infuriated by his insults.
Moreover, William had recalled the side effects of Life’s Blessing, so he had lost control.
Otherwise, he would not have exposed his Left Hand of the Thunder God.
“Fortunately, the crisis was over, and my efforts weren’t wasted. Moreover, I had powerful support covering me. Otherwise, I would have perished,” William thought as he continued caressing the smooth, white thighs.
Pa, pa, pa, pa!
William sustained continuous critical damages.
The slappings sounded extremely crisp.
William released his red and sore paws.
He used his Soul Perception to survey the motionless Annie and glanced at his Life Points. He inhaled a gust of cool air. “I lost 3% but recovered 2%. Anyone who wants to marry the princess is in a precarious situation. Without my toughness, he will definitely die.”
When William discovered Burned Cinder and the rest gazing at him, he coldly said, “What’s there to stare at? When my eyes are healed, we’ll have a duel.”
“Prince William’s joking. Well, it’s alright if you don’t use the Left Hand of the Thunder God or the Eyes of the Thunder God.” The indignant Burned Cinder mischievously smiled. He would give William a good beating, if the latter did not make use of his Godly hand.
“I’m fine, how about the rest?” William glanced at Diablo and Alec.
Diablo shrugged his shoulders and said, “I can try.”
Alec shook his head and replied, “I’m giving it a pass. If I get struck by lightning, I’ll slow down considerably and would be turned into a sitting duck.”
“Good, have a good sleep and rest. We’ll return home tomorrow.” William lay on his bed and shut his eyes. It did not make any difference, but it was important to get used to it.
The next day,
The professionals of the City of Dawn had left the Magic Conference early. Many of the observers were disappointed.
Lord William had made use of prohibited powers to get rid of the Viscount of Darkness, so he had sustained severe injuries. That was the reason why he could no longer continue in the competition.
All professionals understood that the Thunder Realm was fatal. Whoever entered the realm would perish.
They were not jealous that William had obtained the rewards of a champion without the title.
When Delosis found that William had left, he became a little depressed.
He had lost a worthy opponent.
Everyone, except Sardin Peak, who could persevere more than two blows, had been easily defeated by Delosis.
Nobody had the mood to watch the finals as they were busy discussing William’s hand.
Nobody paid any attention to Delosis.
Even if Delosis became the champion, he was not popular. Hence, he was infuriated!
With the blast of a horn, the Dawn Vessel picked up William and his companions. It started sailing in the open seas.
The Epic warship was fast.
With the propulsion created by magic crystals, the stern of the boat left behind a trail of white foam.
The huge momentum caused some unwary passengers to fall on the deck.
When the ship attained its top speed, it was equivalent to a sports car with full acceleration.
That was right.
It was that fast.
Slow-moving ships had no chance to make a long journey in the oceans of the Gods’ world.
Time passed.
William and his companions had returned to the City of Dawn.
The commoners and professionals arrived at the port to welcome their legendary heroes.
Due to the intentional propaganda of the top four power centers, William’s feat had spread throughout the entire southern region. After some time, the news would even spread to the entire continent.
He had obtained a Legend Status.
[Legend Status due to Left Hand of Thunder God +1]
[Limitation: The Legend Status has the greatest effect in the Legendary continent]
(Description: In the finals of the first Magic Conference, the Lord of Dawn, Blackleaf prince, William Blackleaf, defeated the Grandmaster Viscount of Darkness, who had to escape to the Dark World with a shattered soul.]
(Description: Lord William arrogantly said to the Viscount of Darkness, “Have you encountered a God before?
Then, his left hand emitted strong rays of lightning as though the Thunder God had unleashed the ‘Pseudo-Thunder Realm’. The Viscount of Darkness was turned to ash. William’s power was terrifying.]
[Description: William Blackleaf was suspected to be the reincarnation of the Thunder God]
[Description: The fight was witnessed by tens of thousands of professionals. William’s prowess was also recognized by the Four Legendary Bigwigs.]
William’s popularity shot through the roof. He had many fans now, especially in the southern region.
Many people were discussing his feat…
He became expressionless after looking at the official description of the Legend Status.
“D*mn! It’s infuriating!
“Are they trying to take advantage of me?
“It’s not easy for me to make it big this time, and they’re saying that I’m the reincarnation of Thunder God? It’s a farce.” William frowned. He wanted to expose the actual reincarnation of Thunder God to everyone so that they would not focus on him.
“Isn’t this karma?” William watched the commoners, who were gazing at him like a God. They were almost about to kneel on the ground.
The City of Dawn did not have such a custom.
But the commoners did not know the truth.
They thought that the city lord was the reincarnation of a God. In this ignorant world of magic and fantasy, the commoners did not have other ways to show reverence besides kneeling
Without the soldiers maintaining order, the commoners would have knelt on the ground.
William winced.
He had obtained the Left Hand of the Thunder God, but he had also lost his sight…
Ahem! It was very inhumane.
William thought that the retribution was harsh, but he could deal with it.
However, it was a matter of time before the Left Hand of Thunder God would have been exposed. It was not a big deal that it was exposed now.
William was a happy-go-lucky Half-Elf…
He was not alone. Instead, he was an outstanding neutral lord. Everything would be fine if he kept growing stronger.
“Besides going to the Fantasy Continent, I’ll stay at home. I don’t believe that villain will dare to kill me in the City of Dawn.” William decided to go out only after his popularity became lukewarm.
If he were to go out now, he would most likely be overwhelmed by the crowd…
