I have an Apocalypse City
Chapter 1327 - Chapter 1327 Chapter 1329 Spoils of War

Chapter 1327: Chapter 1329: Spoils of War Chapter 1327: Chapter 1329: Spoils of War Originally intending to rush up and engage in close combat with the Abyssal Magic Vine, Song Jian now subconsciously retreated, controlling the Spirit Sword and evolving the Sword Formation to attack the Abyssal Magic Vine.

A splendid Red Lotus slowly bloomed, enveloping the entire Abyssal Magic Vine. A powerful suction force emanated from the Sword Formation, causing the Abyssal Magic Vine to emit a piercing screech as its entire body was pulled into mid-air.

Soon, Song Jian saw a large pit appear on the ground where countless dense roots, ten times the number on the surface, were pulled out.

The whole Abyssal Magic Vine was bound in midair by the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Sword Formation, enduring the slashes of the Spirit Sword and the scorching burn of the Red Lotus Karma Fire. Its Vitality Points, originally in the tens of millions, rapidly decreased at a visible rate. The edges of the vines and root system also began to curl and char.

The Abyssal Magic Vine struggled continuously but was unable to prevent the Karmic Fire Red Lotus from slowly closing in. In an instant, the rate at which the Vitality Points of the Abyssal Magic Vine fell sharply increased, and in the blink of an eye, millions of Vitality Points disappeared. Such resistance could not possibly belong to a boss at the peak of the Legendary Realm; it was at best equivalent to a boss who had just stepped into the Sovereign Level.

“Its injuries can’t be this severe!” Song Jian thought to himself. According to his previous assessment, the Abyssal Magic Vine, after battling with three strong individuals from the Abyss, would most likely be injured, and of the three Abyssal powerhouses, at least one should be dead, with the other two seriously wounded.

Yet now, the three Abyssal powerhouses were only injured, while the Abyssal Magic Vine had sustained very serious injury, enough to make it abandon its own lair and extract Purple Crystal ore in a destructive manner to heal itself, all the while its attributes significantly weakened.

“No, even if it was seriously injured in battle, the weakening shouldn’t be this severe…” Song Jian’s gaze glittered, and a Dark Gold vertical scar in the center of his forehead slowly opened a sliver, revealing the Breaking Illusion Divine Eye that shone with a multicolored light, peering at the besieged Abyssal Magic Vine.

At that moment, all attributes of the Abyssal Magic Vine were laid bare before Song Jian’s eyes. Aside from the status “Critically Injured” displayed in the status bar, with all attributes weakened by 60%, Vitality Points suppressed to one-third, Vitality Points recovery speed weakened by 50%, and several other debilitating conditions, an odd status also appeared in the status bar of the Abyssal Magic Vine.

“Parasitism (Hidden)”

“What does this mean?” Song Jian couldn’t help but focus on this strange status, but no matter how he observed, he couldn’t determine the nature of this status. Moreover, what was more eerie was that this status, for the Abyssal Magic Vine, seemed like a buff.

After a series of detrimental statuses, there was an eerie buff attached. Song Jian had never encountered such a situation before.

“Regardless, I must kill you first!” thought Song Jian to himself.

By now, the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Sword Formation had also evolved into the stage of the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Sword. A sharp longsword, over ten meters in length, fiercely slashed down from the sky and directly cut the Abyssal Magic Vine wrapped in the Sword Formation in two.

The thick main body of the Magic Vine, akin to an ancient tree, slowly crashed down in two directions. All the vines and roots lost control in an instant, falling to the ground and spreading out flat.

System: You have slain a King Level BOSS, the Abyssal Magic Vine (Critically Injured). Since the target was already severely wounded before you killed it, the loot dropped will be affected!

After killing the Abyssal Magic Vine, Song Jian’s experience bar only increased by 3%, but at his current level, a 3% increase was equivalent to gaining tens of millions of combat experience in an instant.

Beneath the carcass of the Abyssal Demon Vine, a chest emitting a dark gold light slowly bloomed with radiance, making Song Jian’s face turn sour.

“A BOSS at the peak of the Legendary Realm, even if severely injured and slain by me, couldn’t possibly drop just one Dark Gold Quality chest, could it?” Song Jian muttered to himself. After all, Song Jian had mentally prepared himself for just one Epic Quality chest, but reality had delivered a harsh blow.

If Song Jian had known earlier that slaying the Abyssal Demon Vine would only result in a Dark Gold Quality chest, he definitely wouldn’t have taken such a huge risk to hunt down a BOSS with peak Legendary Realm strength in the underground.

Song Jian, somewhat reluctantly, picked up the Dark Gold chest and casually opened it; a brilliant dark gold light almost illuminated the entire underground cave.

Song Jian reached his hand into the chest, and soon, a set of Dark Gold Quality steel battle boots came to his touch.

“Demon Vine Battle Boots, Dark Gold Quality. Just standing still for more than five seconds automatically draws the power from the earth, increasing defense by 30%, and Vitality Points recovery speed by 50%.” This effect was simply tailor-made for an MT!”

Looking at the pair of battle boots in his hands, Song Jian’s face finally showed a hint of joy.

In the game, equipment for defense warriors was the most expensive. These Dark Gold Quality battle boots, level 80 equipment, item level 95, came with very attractive additional properties, especially the equipment effect that was sure to make defense warriors scramble for it.

“Although it’s just a pair of Dark Gold Quality battle boots, the auction price will definitely not be lower than an equivalent-level Epic Quality equipment!” Song Jian thought to himself.

A top-notch Dark Gold equipment piece did somewhat alleviate the disappointment in Song Jian’s heart. Then, he continued to reach into the chest to search for more.

Quickly, five or six items were retrieved from the chest. Besides the first pair of boots, another Dark Gold Quality item was found; it was a backpack that expanded the inventory. This backpack added a whopping five hundred slots–an incredible amount given that Song Jian, a city lord himself, had a maximum of only two hundred and sixty slots in his four bags–undeniably a huge attraction for players.

If Song Jian hadn’t had the Shattered Divine Realm, he would have definitely used this backpack for himself. But now, this rare backpack was also added to the list of items he could sell.

“Not too much of a loss!” Song Jian shook his head and sighed, preparing to return to the mine to see if any Purple Crystal ore had been left behind. However, he knew that the chances of finding intact high-quality Purple Crystal ore was slim after the Abyssal Demon Vine’s vigorous absorption. At most, he could look for some broken scraps, but even the smallest mosquito was still meat, especially since leveling past one hundred had become increasingly difficult.

Just as Song Jian was about to leave the underground cave, he couldn’t shake the feeling that he had overlooked something. Upon turning back for a thorough look, he suddenly spotted a faint dark purple glow shimmering beneath the Abyssal Demon Vine’s carcass.

A flash of insight struck Song Jian’s mind as he remembered the large pool of liquid Purple Crystal that the Abyssal Demon Vine had near it when he first entered the cave. Such treasures could not be compared with mere “scraps.”

“How could I have forgotten about this!” Song Jian slapped his forehead and his face revealed a look of surprise as he rushed over to the corpse of the Abyssal Demon Vine.
