C5 Global First Kill! the Two Announcements Caused a Huge Uproar!!
Devaputra Scroll
Quality: Special
Type: Special/Summon
Effect: Summon an ancient Heavenly Devil. By defeating it, you can acquire a legendary divine item. Possession of this item will alter your destiny, yet attract the ceaseless wrath of the Heavenly Devil's progeny!
Description: This scroll wields a sealing power. After eons, its strength has diminished, leaving the ancient Devaputra considerably weakened!
It's the treasure indeed!
Joy swelled in Lin Bei's heart as he instinctively gripped the scroll tighter.
In his past life, a player stumbled upon this very scroll.
Oddly enough, as soon as the Devaputra was summoned, it was slain before uttering a single word, killed by the automatic attack of a teammate's summoned beast. That player gained a piece of equipment with the potential to grow.
Regrettably, after a clash with Cai Xukun, the player met his demise. The growth-capable equipment fell into Cai Xukun's hands, who grew stronger from that day forth.
But now, with the Devaputra Scroll in Lin Bei's possession, he was determined to prevent history from repeating itself.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Bei clapped Lin Sanwan on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Rest easy, I'm a man of my word. And a piece of advice for you—be cautious, lest you meet an untimely end!"
With those words, he confidently strode past a resentful Lin Sanwan and vanished at the village's edge.
Meanwhile, two figures emerged around the street corner, gazing after Lin Bei.
One, with a mysterious gleam in his eyes, murmured, "I missed their conversation, but he has a dagger at his waist. That must be Lin Bei!"
"Let's tail him and alert the others. If we take him down, we'll score 100,000 RMB!" exclaimed the other player, thrilled. They exchanged a knowing look and set off in pursuit of Lin Bei.
Once out of the village, they tracked Lin Bei until he slipped into a thicket and disappeared from sight.
They had lost Lin Bei.
"Call everyone to assemble. We must find him. Only by killing him can we strike it rich!"
Frustrated, they quickly spread the word.
Simultaneously, Lin Bei, having passed through the underbrush, followed a path known only to veteran Eon Realms players, entering a secluded, tree-encircled forest.
Here, he was safer, less likely to be discovered.
His caution was warranted.
In the Eon Realms, the discovery of a boss triggered an area-wide announcement, complete with precise coordinates.
Yet, this spot was well-concealed; even with the irksome announcement, it wouldn't be easily found.
Lin Bei produced the Devaputra Scroll, tearing off its yellow seal.
A shimmer emanated from the seal, and the scroll burst with force, pushing Lin Bei back. It hovered midair.
Black flames oozed from the scroll, consuming it in an instant.
The earth shook with ferocity.
A menacing figure emerged from the tumult of black flames, taking shape.
The system alert blared:
"Misty Village Announcement! A Lord has been summoned in Coiling Dragon Forest (418,921). Capable players are invited to join the hunt!"
"Cheery Reminder: As the world's first discovered Lord, the player who lands the killing blow will earn the Global First Kill reward!"
The announcement sent a surge of excitement through the players.
Every Misty Village gamer was electrified, racing toward Coiling Dragon Forest.
At that moment, Lin Bei had no time for cursing the Eon Realms' announcements.
Before him stood a hulking Minotaur, wreathed in black gas, exuding a fearsome aura.
This was Chris, the ancient Devaputra Lin Bei had summoned.
Name: Chris
Quality: Unknown
Level: 1
Attack: 1
Defense: 1
HP: 10/10
Skills:
Passive: Chris is too weak to use any skills.
Minor: Devaputra Rush
Great: Chris is too weak to use this skill.
Special: Chris is too weak to use any skills.
Description: Chris, a sealed and forgotten ancient Devaputra, was once so formidable that many sacrificed their lives to imprison him in this scroll, hoping he would one day vanish.
Seeing the stats, Lin Bei's breath quickened.
Chris had 10 HP.
Securing these 10 HP meant claiming the Global First Kill reward.
Just then, Chris' crimson eyes fixed on Lin Bei, his voice deep and resonant, "Do you intend to kill me?"
"Why else would I summon you?" Lin Bei replied coolly. "Have you grown dull from your confinement?"
A chill flickered in Chris' gaze.
Yet, he suppressed his rage, offering solemnly, "Spare me, and I will bestow upon you unmatched glory, including..."
Before he could finish his offer, Lin Bei cut him off, "Let me guess, you're about to promise me women, wealth, power, and even the legacy of the Devaputra's power, right?"
Chris was dumbstruck!
Lin Bei had preempted his very words!
He believed humans to be greedy creatures, easily ensnared by temptation!
Yet this human proved to be an exception, leaving him utterly astonished.
In that moment, Lin Bei drew his dagger and said, "You might fool those naive youngsters, but not me. I know better than to trust a word from some people—unless it's their last, spoken at death's door."
With that, Lin Bei didn't summon his Charm Rabbit; instead, he lashed out with his dagger, slicing at Chris!
"Damn kid, if you're so eager to die, I'll grant your wish!" Chris snapped to, bellowing with rage.
His mouth gaped open, unleashing a torrent of black flame in an instant!
A second later, the flames morphed into a black pillar, surging forth!
"The Ancient Devaputra Chris has unleashed Devaputra Rush. If it hits, you're dead!"
The alert chimed, and a smirk played on Lin Bei's lips.
With a swift Z-shaped Step, he evaded the onslaught and circled behind Chris.
He then thrust his dagger into a vulnerable spot—everyone's Achilles' heel!
This strike dealt a crippling double blow to the Devaputra Rush!
Chris, the ancient Devaputra, eyes bulging, legs clamped shut, slowly sank to his knees.
"No! I was meant to dominate the mortal realm!" It roared in defiance, unable to rise again.
As Chris' HP dwindled to nothing, his body was shrouded in a dazzling glow.
No one could have imagined that a Devaputra would perish in such a manner!
And to die so brutally, his body blasted apart in that critical area.
"Congratulations! You have slain the Ancient Devaputra Chris, earning 5000 Experience Points!"
"Congratulations! You've advanced to Level 4. All Attributes have increased by 6 points, and your Free Attribute Points by 3!"
"Congratulations, your All Things Psychic ability has activated. The 0.5 Devaputra gene you've acquired has been converted for use with Charm Rabbit Summoning!"
"Congratulations, your Devouring Progress has increased by 10%!"
Relieved by the system's notifications, Lin Bei approached Chris' remains to collect the loot.
"Congratulations! You've obtained the following spoils: 10 gold coins, the Moon Worshipping Blade of God, and more."
But the next moment, the system alert was abruptly silenced.
A World Announcement boomed forth!
"World Announcement!"
"Kudos to One More Life from Dragon Country for the successful takedown of Lord Ancient Devaputra Chris, marking the world's first Lord kill. Your rewards include 5,000 gold coins, 100 Charm Points, 100 Luck Points, and a Celestial Might Token."
Players worldwide were left agape as the announcement echoed.
At last, the coveted First Kill had been claimed.
And the victor, One More Life, had not long ago been embroiled in a forum spat with a wealthy player.
His identity was now the subject of widespread speculation.
As confusion still reigned and the fivefold-repeated announcement was nearing its end, another earth-shattering World Announcement followed.
"World Announcement!"
"Dragon Country's One More Life is congratulated for being the first to slay a Mythical Level Lord. You've achieved a world miracle, and your feat will go down in history. You've earned an unparalleled reward: 100,000 gold coins, 250 Charm Points, 250 Luck Points, and the title of Lord of Gods and Devils."
With the twin World Level Announcements, players everywhere were left in awe.
One More Life had indeed wrought a world miracle.
