Chapter 83: Rage of the Thunder Dragon! More Tool Workers!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The most capable Zhao Feng also had both his arms sliced off, and he collapsed in a pool of blood. His face was covered in fresh blood as he roared hysterically, “Link, you killed so many of my Black Dragon Gang people! Doctor Ghost and the gang leader absolutely will not let you off!”

“Our Master is about to arrive! You will certainly die in despair and fear, a thousand—million times more wretched than me!”

Link made no comment. He only expressionlessly stated, “I must exterminate the Black Dragon Gang.”

When his words fell, a resplendent sword ray slashed down. The area instantly fell silent; there were no other sounds.

The crowd of Evolvers from Thunder Palace, World Society, and Monopoly looked at Link’s handsome and aloof face, and they all felt a chill in their hearts.

Some people took to their heels because of their inward fear, but Yuna, God Devourer Ant, and Star Moon blocked their route of retreat one step ahead of them!

The six pure-white wings behind Yuna flapped lightly, radiating a holy glow. However, there was only iciness on her stunning face.

God Devourer Ant’s massive mandibles gleamed with a cold glow; its body even burst forth with a savage, ferocious beast’s monstrous suppression, making one fearful!

Star Moon also turned into Chimera form. Its three large heads were held high as a startling glow shot out of all six vertical pupils!

All the Evolvers almost wet their pants. Faced with such a circumstance, how would they be able to escape? The demon lord-like man had absolutely no intention of letting them leave!

A Stage Three powerhouse spoke up, threatening in manner but cowardly at heart. “Link, are you going to set yourself against so many of us? You must know that we have close to 1,000 people here. Even if you have great combat prowess, you definitely won’t be able to resist when so many of us are striking together!”

Someone soon spoke up in reply. “Exactly! There is strength in numbers; if you make us desperate, you won’t have an easy time either!”

“Why don’t you let us leave? We’ll both compromise!”

“Link, if you’re worried that we will take revenge after leaving, it’s totally unnecessary.”

“This matter began with the Black Dragon Gang sowing discord behind the scenes, so we ought to take revenge on Black Dragon Gang together!”

Fear showed on a person’s face as he begged piteously, “Link—Demon Lord! Let us leave! We promise that we will never attack you again!”

“Yes! You are magnanimous as a great person. Please let us off!”

...

Voices sounded without end.

Link only had a peaceful countenance; he didn’t have the slightest intention of letting them go.

Yang Xuerou, Xue Linglong, and the rest just stood behind Link, each holding their own weapons. They did not say a word and watched this group of Evolvers with cold gazes.

They could not forget how this bunch of people had arrived menacingly earlier. They clamored about seizing the City Building Token, completely disregarding them and even treating Link as nothing.

Now they’re scared? Too late!

Even the kind-hearted Yang Xuerou also wore an extremely icy expression on her beautiful face at this point. It looked like frost had covered it.

One must know that the tragic plight—which they would be facing if Link didn’t have his means and survived the forbidden curse earlier—could practically be foreseen!

This bunch of people wouldn’t have given them an easy time at all. It was even highly likely that their lives would be made a living hell...

In these chilly troubled times, there was absolutely no way of surviving if one wasn’t ruthless.

Even if Link presently ordered them to kill all of these Evolvers, Xue Linglong and company would not have another word. After experiencing many things, they had incomparable trust in the orders that Link gave. They would not question him at all.

Upon seeing how Link remained without a word and unmoved, the crowd of Evolvers was flustered. The people begging for mercy were a growing number. After all, this person before them was a man who killed two Stage Four powerhouses and survived a forbidden curse.

It didn’t allow them not to fear.

“Hmph, they know to beg for mercy now? Weren’t they calling us nobodies earlier? You people are just despicable!” said Fatty Lu Da indignantly.

Earlier, he almost believed that Link would meet his death in the forbidden curse; hence, he was naturally ill-disposed toward these people.

Meanwhile, Link stood in a pool of blood. The crimson red, broken limbs, and bits of flesh everywhere were a horrifying sight.

He thrust the [King’s Sword] in his hands into the ground. Standing with an upright sword, Link appeared majestic yet contemptuous!

His response to the masses was only an emotionless utterance: “Submit or die!”

There were so many Evolvers here—all of them were an upper-class labor force that could be put to work as tool workers. There were even earth attribute mages among them.

To Link—who wanted to speed up the city building progress—killing all of these Evolvers was truly quite a waste. It would be better to make good use of them.

In the apocalyptic world, the most worthless thing was human life. But in order to develop, the most important thing was also human life.

Link did not want to become the lone wolf of his previous lifetime. If he lived the same way once again, his life would have lost its meaning. Moreover, these people wouldn’t be able to cause any trouble in his hands when he had Super God-grade summoned creatures watching them.

Link’s icy cold voice resounded through the air.

Everyone was momentarily stunned. The man before them was no different from a Demon Lord in their eyes. They did not doubt the legitimacy of this comment at all.

Following that, some people revealed looks of difficulty, while others directly knelt towards Link.

“I’m willing to submit—willing to pledge my allegiance!”

With someone taking the lead, the clanking sounds of weapons dropping to the ground soon rang continuously.

On this day, close to 1,000 Evolvers threw off all their gear and bowed to Link together!

Link arranged for Fatty Lu Da and God Devourer Ant to admit these people and make the best use of them.

Link took out the crystal ball he obtained previously and examined it carefully.

In his palm, the crystal ball radiated a bluish-purple glow and a vast aura. Lightning glimmered inside it; there seemed to be a thunder dragon swimming inside it, particularly uncommon.

“This is the secret treasure that can release a forbidden curse?” Yang Xuerou’s red lips were slightly parted; she felt somewhat amazed.

Link nodded lightly.

Other than that bunch of tool workers, this secret treasure that could release a forbidden curse was his greatest harvest from today’s battle!

At the same time, a notification entered Link’s mind.

[Rage of the Thunder Dragon]

Grade: Epic (incomplete)

Introduction: A sacred bead containing inexhaustible thunder. Rumor has it that it was made by the ancient God of Thunder’s worship priest. There is an insufficient amount of its source in present times; hence, it is in an incomplete state.

Strength: 600

Intelligence: 750

Constitution: 533

Agility: 611

Additional skill 1: [Thunder Blessing] (Passive Skill): User can receive the good graces of thunder. Might increases by 300% when casting thunder attribute spells.

Additional skill 2: [Rage of the Thunder Dragon] (Active Skill): Usable frequency (1/2). User may trigger the forces of thunder within the sacred bead with 95% life energy and weakness as the price, releasing an Epic-grade Forbidden Curse.

[Secondary?Rage of the Thunder Dragon]—lowly mortals, tremble in the roar of the thunder dragon!

Note: When the number of uses has been exhausted, it will automatically destroy itself.

...

After reading this crystal ball’s information, Link’s breathing had faintly become slightly heavier.

This is indeed a weapon of mass destruction. Not only can it amplify thunder attribute spells, but it can also cast forbidden curses with powerful might. If it weren’t because the forbidden curse can only be cast one more time, it would be enough to surpass the average legend-grade equipment.

Link was filled with anticipation. What kind of transformation will it undergo under my [Supreme Blessing]?

In the next moment, a splendid glow lit up. The crystal ball—which sparkled with lightning within—slowly floated into the air as the glow wrapped all around it.

Indistinctly, a terrifying aura radiated from the crystal ball. Even the skies instantly turned dark, and black clouds hung low over the city!
