Chapter 1303 - Chapter 1303 Chapter 1303 Dilemma

Chapter 1303: Chapter 1303: Dilemma Chapter 1303: Chapter 1303: Dilemma With the appearance of the enormous spider phantom, a strong and intense oppression descended, and all the Witherbarks roared, their bodies trembling as they knelt on one knee, as if they had regained some sense.

Li Yao also hurriedly followed suit, but a foreboding feeling had already risen in his heart. In fact, ever since those black-robed people revealed their true faces, Li Yao had known why the earl’s spies had not returned and had sent no news–they had betrayed, or more accurately, been controlled.

Lady Ros, the spider queen, was now one of the most powerful goddesses in the Abyss, who could occupy a layer of Hell at the Hell-Abyss juncture with just a powerful avatar.

The gods had twilighted, many powerful goddesses had even fallen, but millennia of restoration had allowed many gods to recover.

And Lady Ros, the Spider Queen, was among the first to recover and was also a chief god, possessing immense divine power. Although it was uncertain if she had recovered all her strength, with the Moon God not engaging in any disputes, the chief god was already the apex combat force in the world.

Moreover, it was said that Lady Ros was incredibly evil and recklessly arrogant, a very tyrannical goddess. After all, she even dared to seize the followers of the Moon God–what wasn’t she capable of?

Now, seeing only a phantom projection, just its presence made one feel suffocated. Although Li Yao was confident that he could achieve “Divine Enthronement” and someday contend against her, that would be after becoming a god. Even then, facing the chief god’s true body would require a long time to cope, let alone now, being merely a high-ranking fifth-tier leader, which was far too inadequate.

“I grant you eternal life and mighty power, and you shall serve as my guards.”

With those ethereal words, beams of black light descended, each enveloping a Witherbark, including Li Yao.

Li Yao felt a violent, dark power rushing into his body, causing him unbearable pain that made him roar wildly.

Li Yao knew that he had become a leader, a high-ranking leader, but that was the limit. Once he broke through to be a racial chief, like others, he would progress slowly from low, middle, to high level, but this saved Li Yao a lot of time and tasks.

Regarding becoming a racial chief, Li Yao had already made plans, which was to undertake the long promotion quest after completing the main dungeon of level fifty. However, he had not expected to break these shackles here.

It’s known that although leader level counts as a leader, it’s generally considered just elite level. To truly command a region, one must at least be a racial chief–this is a watershed. Moreover, every promotion in rank is a true transformation.

Li Yao felt his body was being torn apart, but the mark of his Star Bow simply dissolved, transforming into points of starlight. His body shimmered with starlight like the night sky, and Li Yao knew it was the Star Bow protecting him.

Meanwhile, the other Witherbarks were also undergoing transformations, their bodies twisted, being genuinely ripped apart.

As their bodies split, the Witherbarks’ forms swelled and enlarged, their lower halves rapidly disappearing to be replaced by what resembled spider eggs.

“You who have forsaken the gods, you’ve already forgotten the greatness and power of the divine, and still you hide? Seize them for me. Since they fail to recognize favors, brand them as slaves and drag them away.”

One after another, dark figures appeared and dragged away five or six Witherbarks who had not undergone the transformation; under the domination of divine power, they couldn’t even resist.

“Priest, the aura on this one is soaring, but he has not undergone the transformation,” said a dark shadow that had appeared beside Li Yao. However, this figure was uncertain what to do, seeing Li Yao’s peculiar condition; he couldn’t even touch Li Yao, as any attempts to grasp him were repelled by a burst of starlight.

The Elf Priest then looked toward Li Yao, who was in the center. Although he was surrounded by dark light, he remained encircled by twinkling stars, and his body had not undergone any transformations.

The female priest was also puzzled and knelt again, “Great master, your humblest servant requests a sliver of your true spirit and seeks divine judgment.”

The originally ethereal spider phantom suddenly solidified, a glint of intelligence flashing through its eyes.

“Two broken divine artifacts, the Reaper’s Scythe and the Child of the Stars…” Queen Ros’s expression held a trace of surprise, “Once his transformation is complete, cast him into the lower levels of the Thousand Spider Venom Pit. If he survives the night, come back and consult me.”

Hearing that Li Yao was to be cast into the lower levels of the Thousand Spider Venom Pit, even the female priest showed a flicker of fear, but this was the goddess’s decision.

She already sensed that Li Yao was about to breakthrough to the racial chief level, and moreover, without any mutations. She had initially planned to have Li Yao serve her tonight, but the goddess’s command was not to be defied, leaving a trace of disappointment in her eyes.

“I will heed your will.”

Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack…

Sounds of cracking echoed as the spider eggs shattered. The Witherbarks’ lower halves transformed into spider bodies, and their upper halves reverted to their high elf appearances, their bodies marked with bizarre patterns.

These Witherbarks exuded an incredibly strong aura, each no weaker than Li Yao, with the aura of over a dozen camp level beings among them.

Li Yao had, in fact, completed his breakthrough. He had not anticipated that he would elevate his rank under these circumstances, especially without completing a mission.

Li Yao checked his attributes; this time, they had truly skyrocketed significantly. Although not quite as perverse as an NPC’s attributes, they were not far behind, except they couldn’t increase while under attack. Otherwise, they were quite comparable.

“No wonder in my last life, some tried unconventional methods to complete the racial chief breakthrough. This regular breakthrough greatly enhances attributes, and the blessings of the chief god are indeed formidable. It’s just too bad I couldn’t rise as rapidly as these Witherbarks.”

Li Yao was exceedingly envious of the Witherbarks with camp level auras, knowing their original status had merely been at the chief level.

Li Yao finally understood why the fallen elves needed the Witherbarks: they could mass-produce powerful beings. Not only were they all at least at the racial level, but more crucially, these Witherbarks had apparently regained their sanity.

Even if their minds were dull, the mass-produced super chiefs were nowhere near as formidable as those from the camps. However, considering the attributes alone, not to mention camp level, a single advanced racial chief surpassed the value of purchasing this batch of Witherbarks, let alone dozens of camp level beings and hundreds at the racial level. It was terrifying.

Li Yao’s understanding of the chief god’s methods was overturned once again. This news would likely drive the high elves mad. However, seeing about a dozen dark figures closing in on him, Li Yao immediately lost his mood for joy.

In his current condition, he couldn’t use Hearthstone, and with chains binding him, even escape was problematic. What’s more, this situation where Hearthstone couldn’t be used was very unusual.

If he died, although he could return, more than half of his equipment would drop, and more critically, everything he had acquired here would vanish, his attributes reverting to what they were before he entered…
