Chapter 1097 - Chapter 1097 Chapter 1097 The True Ranger Heritage

Chapter 1097: Chapter 1097: The True Ranger Heritage Chapter 1097: Chapter 1097: The True Ranger Heritage “Do you think your strength is worth my special effort to plot against and trouble you? While you are somewhat capable, do not get ahead of yourself. You are still far from being even a minor fourth-order Silver Hero,” the queen said with displeasure.

“My teacher, I’m telling the truth. The Dead Light Area is home to more than one Undead Force, and there are many Undead Races. Although individually weaker than our Undercity, their combined intelligence is several times greater. They have always been in conflict with the gnomes and Dwarves of the Iron Legion. If not for that, they would be even stronger. My army barely amounts to over forty thousand, and I reckon even a minor Lord there could wipe us out eighteen times over. What should I do?”

Li Yao truly felt at a loss. This was a joke, wasn’t it? As far as he knew, the Dead Light Area was an extremely vast Sub-dimension, and it’s worth noting that normal dimensions could not even allow the ascension of a Demigod, let alone a god.

But the Dead Light Area did have Demigod powerhouses, not one but two of them. The Lizardmen dimension might have a Demigod, but that was due to Deathwing’s achievement, and their dimension could not produce a Demigod otherwise. To be aware, there are very few Sub-dimensions where one can ascend to Demigodhood.

He was actually being conservative in his assessment. The combined Undead could easily swallow Undercity. Of course, Undercity has the Dark Camp behind it, which would make the Undead of the Dead Light Area insignificant in comparison, not to mention they also have an age-old nemesis.

“It seems you are quite familiar with that place, then tell me more,” the queen said unexpectedly.

“From what I know, the Dead Light Area is also divided into two factions. One is the Iron Legion, formed by an alliance between Dwarves and gnomes, led by a Guardian, a creation of the Titans with the power of a Demigod. The other is the Dark Council, led by a Demigod-level Blood Race Emperor, with several chancellors underneath, including a Dragon Witch Monster, Skeleton King, Blood Race Prince, Construct King, and Werewolf King. Each represents a world-class lord of their own Race: Ghosts, Skeletons, Blood Race, Constructs, and Werewolves. Though individually weaker than us, their combined force is overwhelming,”

The queen was genuinely surprised this time and started pacing back and forth. “So strong, the conquest would be extremely difficult.”

“That’s why I’m not complaining. If it weren’t for their stubborn clashes with the Iron Alliance, their armies would probably have dispersed after merging into the main plane. Not just us, but the Human Kingdom and the kingdoms of Dwarves and gnomes would be the first to bear the brunt,” thought Li Yao, realizing the queen’s task was difficult but never imagining it was as wild as this, practically fatal.

“With such strength, although not on par with the Scourge Legion, they are still a formidable force. We must absorb some of it, otherwise the position of Undercity within the Dark Camp will be in jeopardy. You’ve also heard, haven’t you, that various Races are actively seeking to recruit forces from the Sub-dimensions?” the queen expressed her concern.

“Cough cough, teacher, the area covered by the Undead Canopy is not limited to the Dead Light Area. There are also several smaller, pure Undead Planes. You could start with these planes. If you control those areas, you can strengthen your position before planning for the Dead Light Area. As for the Dead Light Area itself, you can allow fresh Undead recruits to join in the struggle. These recruits are eager to form their own Legions, and when the time is right, you can have them lead their Legions against the Dead Light Area to demonstrate who is indeed the true Lord of the Undead,” Li Yao suggested.

“Hmm, you make a good point; I have been too impatient. In fact, I have made some arrangements, you being a contingency plan of mine, not necessarily needed. Nor did I say that you alone should handle the Dead Light Area for me, you are giving yourself too much credit. My intent is for you to help me establish a secret outpost, a secret laboratory known only to you and me. I have many subordinates but trust few, and some have been very active lately. You are one of my backups, weak as you are now. Because of your weakness, others won’t take you seriously or pay too much attention to you. Hence, you must go to the Dead Light Area to establish a base, but secretly build a lab underground. When the time comes, I will relocate the experiments here and count on you to find the means by which the Undead acquire intelligence.”

Seeing Li Yao still had a bitter smile, the queen continued, “This is a mission you must complete. I can promote you to a lord first and teach you the remaining power to become a true Dark Ranger, turning you into a real Undead Hero, better suited to subdue the Undead Legions there.”

Li Yao was immediately thrilled. If he truly became the leader, it would be relatively easy to subdue the army–a significant boost indeed.

“However, let me make one thing clear,” the Queen said sternly, “you have three months. If you can’t make any headway in three months, I will take back your power, strip you of your silver rank, and you’ll have to play from the elite level downwards.”

Li Yao didn’t pay attention to what the Queen said afterward; if he couldn’t make any headway in three months, he might as well have been dead.

“Rangers are different from ordinary Hunters; they are a hybrid of ranged and melee combat. Once you become the leader, you’ll be able to grasp some melee techniques. But you can’t generalize everything–your archery is not bad, melee combat, however…”

The Queen pointed at her own brow, and then a cluster of soul energy appeared at her fingertip. She then touched Li Yao’s forehead with it, and the soul energy merged into his forehead.

Li Yao felt a thunderous boom in his mind, followed by a surge of information flooding into his brain.

Li Yao was astounded. Other players might not understand this technique, but Li Yao knew that the Queen had reached the pinnacle of world leaders and was on the verge of becoming a Demigod. Otherwise, how could she have transferred experience and skills like this? Even a real Demigod could use this technique on only one person in their lifetime. This also meant Li Yao had truly become the Queen’s successor.

Li Yao’s attributes skyrocketed, especially his health points, soaring to a terrifying one hundred thousand. While this couldn’t compare with the health points of a real level forty monster leader, it was definitely a lot among the players.

Now, as a leader, Li Yao’s health points could even compete with those of a silver-ranked bear tank.

Next, Li Yao received numerous melee skills as a Ranger. At the same time, all of his passive skills that buffed his ranged attacks disappeared. This meant his ranged damage was weakened and reduced, and there were no melee passive buffs either. In other words, when analyzing the same quality and equipment, regardless of combat skills, in terms of attributes and damage, his ranged damage was inferior to a true Hunter, and his melee damage wasn’t on par with a fighter or other true melee combatants.

But in terms of overall combat power, Li Yao’s had increased by at least half. His survival ability and adaptability to various combat environments went without saying.

“There are many secrets within the Windrunner Family’s Rangers, mostly centered on the arts of the wind. My sister has grasped the Continuous Wind, with attacks unceasing and devastating, leaving the enemy with no chance to counter. My younger sister has mastered the Will of the Wind God, mainly focusing on transforming into the incarnation of the wind god. And I have understood the storm, attacking like a fierce gale and torrential rain. Reflect on it well.”

The Queen’s voice was slightly weak, obviously, extracting a part of her soul had taken its toll on her…
