Chapter 473: Chapter 149: Old Lead, please say something!

From a withered old man to a tall and strong middle-aged man.

He paid an unimaginable price.

The skin above fell off like an eggshell, but there was no blood or muscle to be seen.

Instead, a black substance was exposed, as if it had replaced his flesh and bones.

More and more cracks appeared on his body, but his eyes became brighter and brighter. It was as if he could see through everything. In a split second, he turned into a higher being.

He glanced at Li Changhe, revealing a hint of surprise, as if he had already seen Li Changhe’s trump card.

He then looked at [Boss Lead] for a while, furrowing his eyebrows. He made a face that said ’What is this piece of junk?’.

Afterward, he turned his gaze north.

His eyes pierced through all obstacles, and he saw a clock tower. A pitch-black figure was standing on top of the tower.

As if aware of his gaze, the figure patted the clock beside him.

Was it a farewell? Or was it mocking?

How detestable, if the Mad King were still alive, this time, he would surely...

The cracks on the blond middle-aged man spread even faster.

"Oh well, it’s just that I can’t watch you die, a little regretful." His sigh of regret echoed in the hall.

The next second, blond middle-aged man’s cracks were all over his body. Under everyone’s watchful eyes, he turned to ashes and disappeared.

"Crack!"

At the same time, a crisp sound came from the [Boss Lead] in front of Li Changhe, and it dropped onto the broken floor.

...

The magicians from Carmen Heavy Industries carefully observed their surroundings, turning the entire observation tower upside down. They did not see the old man or the blond middle-aged man again.

"Did he die? What was that exactly?"

"In that moment, he became a creature beyond our comprehension."

"At least, judging by his appearance, he indeed was that king."

"He killed so many of our colleagues, he got off easy."

"He suddenly regained his peak state. To think he had such an ability."

"How’s the archer doing?"

"He’s holding a cracked black ball now, mumbling to himself." A magician glanced at a figure in the distance: "I don’t know what treasure it is, but it can make a heroic spirit so distraught."

[Seven Kings War Side Quest - Century of Obsession]

[He has been obsessed and pursuing for a hundred years, ultimately corrupting this king’s faith. To achieve his goal, he stopped at nothing]

[When he finally touched the power of divinity and became a contractor again, he was ecstatic, vowing to see that existence again and return the pain of these hundred years in multiples. However, as his obsession from a hundred years was about to be fulfilled, you ruthlessly shattered it.]

[For this, he abandoned his long and obsessive life, restoring himself to his strongest state.]

[And, he cast a curse on you!]

["You destroyed my last hope. So, you’ll have to... fulfill the commitment between me and the Mad King!"]

[Side Quest Reward 1: Experience Bonus 50%]

[Side Quest Reward 2: Obtain [Skill: Will in Desperate Situation]]

[Side Quest rewards will be issued after the task is completed]

The [Evolution Game] prompt appeared in Li Changhe’s consciousness, indicating that the rewards should be decent.

However, Li Changhe felt complicated emotions. There weren’t any anomalies on his body.

In the [Player Panel], he didn’t have any additional negative status either.

On the contrary, the state of Boss Lead was terrible.

[Boss Lead] was Li Changhe’s first [Equipment], which underwent several enhancements and fusions.

He had raised it to an epic quality, and its damage inflicted on the Mysterious System had turned it into Li Changhe’s most reliable weapon.

But now... it was broken.

When the blond middle-aged man’s body vanished, Old Lead encountered a powerful force and was directly cracked open.

Did the Boss Lead help to block the curse for himself?

Or was the opponent targeting the Boss Lead from the beginning?

According to the [Evolution Game] prompt, the former seemed more likely.

"The agreement with the Mad King... is it referring to Flamingo’s bizarre power? What kind of thing is this?" Li Changhe sighed.

Old Lead now had no luster, and looked more like an ordinary lead ball.

A crack appeared in the middle of the spherical part, making the lead ball look like a vertical pupil.

[Boss Lead (Special Status)]

[Type: Weapon]

[Quality: Epic]

[Effect 1: Cannot be used]

[Effect 2: Cannot be used]

[Effect 3: Cannot be used]

[Effect 4: Cannot be used]

[Note 1: Killed the Harpy Fantasy Species, dispelled the Tendaros Hound Curse, smashed a Fantasy Species [Holder]’s head, bathed in the Dragon Transformation Pool. Two Fantasy Species materials have been merged...]

[Note 2: This lead ball has withstood everything it shouldn’t have.]

[Note 3: I cracked open, dammit! Aren’t you going to show some response?]

"Damn, is Old Lead alive? Hang in there, Old Lead!" Seeing note 3, Li Changhe was shocked.

He immediately threw the lead ball into the [Forge] to prepare for [Reforging].

Originally free reforging now cost 500 game coins.

"Could it be due to the mission?"

"Old Lead, can you hold on? When the task is completed, I’ll restore you. I’ll give you a few mother balls... Is three enough?" Li Changhe tried to say: "Old Lead, speak up!"

No prompt appeared in his consciousness.

It seemed he didn’t need to mention anything about a truckload of mother balls.

It wasn’t Old Lead being alive, it was just the [Evolution Game] messing around.

If [Boss Lead] had its independent consciousness, it would be unknown whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

Li Changhe spent 500 game coins for [Reforging]. He couldn’t save that money.

Being able to reforge meant there was still hope for recovery. This was already the best outcome within bad luck.

If he could get the abilities of [Boss Lead] back, that would be even better.

[Completion time: 69 hours]

The record-breaking duration showed that the damage to [Boss Lead] was indeed severe.

During this task, Boss Lead would not be available.

His epic equipment was broken by a plot character, and thinking about it made him feel like he had suffered a loss.

But, he obtained quite a bit of information.

This old man... was truly that king. He came into contact with the power of divinity? This was really...

Li Changhe thought about it and looked up to see the magician beside him, silently looking at him.

"So, after all that has happened, we can finally have a proper talk."

Originally, he planned to convey the message through an arrow in the knee, to know the information that Carmen Heavy Industries had, which was the clue left behind by the twelfth champion.

Unfortunately, the archer didn’t have a chance to pass on any information to Li Changhe.

Li Changhe had to do it himself.

Currently, Carmen Heavy Industries had no reason to target him.

The magician he had encountered first nodded and replied: "Please follow us. Our family head is waiting for you. Similarly, we have already contacted the Sword Rank in the underground tunnel. She is now on her way to Carmen Heavy Industries."
