Chapter 769: Chapter 550 Dragon, But the Castle

Lind approached the corpse of Starlet, ignoring the frenzied scavenging of the Undead.

Those "Clarinet" seemed like formidable weapons, but in reality, they lost their greatest function after being separated from Starlet’s body, only capable of emitting meteors and detonating starlight, they were at most another type of ’accountant’ like Shek, yet not even comparable to Shek’s composure.

Their greatest function was to provide entertainment.

The real value lay within the corpse of Starlet, as he tried to search for the sources of Starlet’s power on the body and collected all the Starlet Scales that were evidently imbued with Starlet’s power.

Melulan was an expert in this matter, the bats swarmed down and snatched away the Starlet Scales.

The Undead only had eyes for new weapons.

One type was an unseen new material, and the other was a brand new and seemingly powerful weapon, they would definitely grab the weapons first.

For them, playing the game and having fun was most important, they subconsciously believed that materials were abundant, whereas weapons dropped by the BOSS were extremely rare.

"Shek clearly didn’t use Magic Potion to boost his strength, it seemed like he was exposed to... radiation."

Lind recalled the appearance of ’accountant’ Shek, that kind of bodily mutation and distortion, yet very different from the mutations of the new race that appeared after the Ring of Magic shattered.

Although the new race was ugly, it still had its own aesthetic logic, but Shek was purely hideous, with uncontrollable morbid changes in his body.

Magic radiation!

He kept a few Starlet Scales and also planned to let the Undead taste the Magic Potion once Mico had prepared it.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" asked Melulan, as she seemed to be aware of Lind’s intent at the moment.

The body of a celestial visitor not belonging to this world carried a lot of uncertainties.

The ferocity left for outsiders was merely a façade.

"I’ve always been curious," Lind said, "They are one of the future enemies."

"One of them?" Melulan wanted to make sure she heard correctly.

Without knowing the strength level of Annelar among the celestial visitors, Lind tended to view the adversary as a vanguard.

The power could not be too weak, but definitely not the strongest either.

If that was the case, Lind felt he should be more wary of the prophecy related to him about an eye bigger than the world.

His enemies were the enemies of the whole world, which was reasonable.

Lord always stands on the side of the whole world, if the whole world turns against him, he can swiftly turn around, or somehow make the formidable enemies also view the world as an adversary.

Melulan was probably one of the very few in this world who could understand Lind’s pursuit of power.

"What can I do?"

"Stay further away."

Meanwhile, the Sin Dragon admiring its own "shell" spoke up: "This world holds many things we don’t know about, even if you think you’re well-educated, but strong power always comes with a trade, nothing is ever granted without a reason, whatever you gain, you must lose something in return."

"I feel like you’ve become much gentler since you got a shell on your back," Lind turned to face the "Dragon Turtle."

This was probably a sense of security.

It turns out the Sin Dragon belonged to the snail type.

"Strong power must possess wisdom," the Sin Dragon said, not caring about Lind’s comment, now absolutely in love with its own thick shell, no longer worried about someone poking at decaying wounds.

With a thick enough shield, it had ample confidence.

"And those who possess wisdom can be bargained with."

Melulan asked, "If this intelligence already has strong power, why would it still trade?"

"Because there’s always someone who believes their wisdom surpasses that of others," Lind revealed the essence of the matter.

Fools do not admit they’re foolish, and the wise never admit they’re foolish.

"Do you think your wisdom surpasses theirs?" Melulan asked.

"No, I just feel that I should have more qualifications to bargain than Starlet."

Stronger enemies might appear, seeking other powers becomes necessary, and in Lind’s view, the radiation from Starlet is definitely better than becoming a deity.

Because the "cost" of Starlet had clearly manifested, ’accountant’ Shek was a prime example.

In contrast with deities, they do not die but only slumber; they have too many advantages like tremendous power, but not a single disadvantage, unless being locked in power by Divine Authority could be considered a downside.

Strong power must have wisdom, but this kind of "disadvantage" is not bad enough.

Lind approached Starlet.

A golden [!] appeared over his head, the Undead very obediently retreated, more efficient and faster than any organized command could ever be.

Melulan did not believe Starlet could hurt Lind, it was merely a corpse, but she was concerned about unexpected effects brought about by unknown powers, feeling Lind’s sense of urgency.

Once, the Undead were the source of Lind’s urgency, but that has changed now, neither the Ring Knight nor the celestial visitors are the source.

Lind stood in front of the bisected head of Starlet, its power dissipated, only a few traces lingering on the body’s surface, bones, scales, teeth, eyes, and other parts.

These could become rare materials, used to craft weapons, create Magic Items or concoct Magic Potions.

However, in Lind’s view, this was somewhat missing the point, as the living power far exceeded the minor benefits obtained from the corpse.

He closed his eyes, trying to feel the remaining slight vibrations from the other party; the Soul Blade dulled its sharpness, gently touching Starlet’s brain, and azure light rapidly traveled through the entire body of the corpse.
