Doomsday Online: Supreme Blessing

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Undead Knights, amongst the many dark creatures that appeared in the early days of [Doomsday Online], were absolutely in the ranks of the elite.

To humankind that had yet to recover from the reality of Doomsday arriving, Undead Knights holding stage-two abilities virtually possessed catastrophic lethality.

Look, once it appeared, everyone present was stunned.

“This thing... what is it?”

“Seems like an ancient knight, but why is his horse a skeleton?”

“Can a dead horse also run so fast? It’s literally unscientific...”

“Fool, you’re still talking about science at this point. Why don’t you use science to explain to me how those skeletons earlier came about?”

Pant!

Just when everyone was making comments, the ghost fire in that tall and big skeleton horse’s pupils abruptly flared.

The Undead Knight lifted its head, its gaze landing on Link, as well as the Angel Yuna beside him. Instincts told it that Link was a great threat to it!

The holy aura around the angel all the more made it feel genuinely disgusted and repulsed. It needed to defeat them first!

Its legs squeezed the skeleton horse’s abdomen. The skeleton horse instantly turned its body and came charging toward the crowd.

“Run quickly! It’s coming!”

This skeleton horse was a good two meters tall, very healthy and strong. When it started galloping, its speed was fast as lightning.

The crowd fled in all directions at once. No one dared to stand in the way of this Undead Knight, even just for a moment.

“Link, run!” Pale with fear, Yang Xuerou hurriedly grabbed Link’s arm and wanted to drag him away. However, she realized that Link’s figure was as stable as a rock. He did not budge an inch.

“You?” Yang Xuerou turned her head with a surprised and bewildered look and happened to meet Link’s confident gaze that came with a faint smile.

“A stage-two dark creature. Yuna, do you dare to fight it?” He was very calm, as if he hadn’t noticed that the Undead Knight was charging over.

Yuna gripped the scepter in her hand tightly. As perseverance showed on her gorgeous face, she said, “I will not hesitate to expel darkness!” With that, her snow-white wings shook once.

Her figure turned into a phantom and charged toward the Undead Knight.

Boom!

Two figures—one black and one white—collided, instantly producing an extremely immense shockwave that swept outward.

The surrounding ground cracked, and a dense spiderweb pattern appeared.

In the center, radiance and darkness were intertwined. The powerful energy and aura wreaked havoc within a dozen meters, pushing everyone who was spectating from a distance to the ground.

Link remained unmoved in the same spot, watching the center of the battleground, and nodded inwardly.

“She’s only stage-one and Level 1 but is able to hold her own against a stage-two Undead Knight. A Super God-grade summoned creature indeed!”

In [Doomsday Online], the effect of level was of vital importance. The disparity in strength was not only reflected in the attributes. Every advancement to the next stage would result in a qualitative change. In general, it was impossible for a stage-one to receive the attack of a stage-two, even if it was just one strike!

However, Yuna was currently fighting with that Undead Knight head-on and was not in a disadvantageous position at all. If she were a human, she would be considered an invincible combat genius.

How could a cross-ranking battle be so easy? Moreover, she was directly fighting against an opponent one big stage ahead of her. This was virtually inconceivable!

“Holy Light Purification!” In the distance, Yuna’s loud and spirited voice sounded. The scepter in her hand suddenly lengthened by several feet, turning from a short scepter into a long scepter.

Inexhaustible Holy Light gathered from all directions and condensed into a beam of light, descending towards the Undead Knight.

Roar!

The Undead Knight roared with a sinister countenance, lifted the spear in its hand, and pointed it to the sky.

It attempted to resist the Holy Light attack with this.

But how could blocking it be possible? Holy Light was intangible. It was a pure energy attack. Moreover, it severely suppressed dark creatures. At the exact moment the attack landed, it ignited the Undead Knight’s body.

Billowing dark smoke surged towards the sky, mingling with the Undead Knight’s unwilling snarl.

It was evident that the speed in which Yuna’s Holy Light was purifying the Undead Knight was much slower than that when it was purifying the Skeleton Swordsmen earlier.

Previously, the Skeleton Swordsmen had absolutely no resistance under the Holy Light. They had disintegrated almost instantly. But right now, even as it was tightly huddled up on the horse due to being suppressed by the Holy Light, the Undead Knight still had strength to struggle.

Swoosh!

It abruptly lifted its head, and the [Soul-fire] within the pupils of the skeleton horse beneath it flared.

The Undead Knight actually briefly broke free of [Holy Light Purification]’s suppression on it and charged in the direction of Link and Yang Xuerou. Approaching menacingly, its spear was pointed directly at Link’s forehead.

Link’s countenance remained unchanged; his gaze still calm as he stepped forward with [Red Sky] in hand.

Lift his arm, swing the sword!

A scorching hot current suddenly converged in Link’s right hand that was holding the sword. All the runes on [Red Sky] were lit up at once. A scarlet glow burst brightly like a roaring flame illuminating the sky.

Red Sky Sword Energy!

A two-meter-long flaming-red sword energy left his hand, and the surrounding temperature suddenly rose.

That stream of sharpness was so fiery and swift. In the blink of an eye, it met the spear that the Undead Knight had thrust.

Crack!

With a light cracking sound, the spear broke.

The flaming-red sword energy remained unabated. As the Undead Knight was stunned, the sword energy directly penetrated its skull.

Boom!

Flames shot up and directly engulfed the Undead Knight’s entire body. Even the skeleton horse beneath it was not spared!

In a brief period of several breaths, the Undead Knight was annihilated!

[Ding! Successfully killed stage-two Undead Knight +1. Gained EXP+100]

[Ding! As you have crossed levels to kill an enemy, gain an additional 100% EXP!]

Then, two rays of light unexpectedly bloomed in Link and Yuna’s pupils.

[Ding! Congratulations on successfully leveling up to Stage One, Level 4!]

[Ding! Your summoned creature, stage-one Angel Yuna, has advanced to Stage One, Level 3!]

The corners of Link’s mouth curved up slightly. Sure enough, cross-level kills still gave more EXP!

His eyes shifted, and he opened his own attribute screen.

Name: Link

Profession: Great Void Taboo Master [Taboo]

Race: Human

Level: Stage one, Level 4

Strength: 717

Intelligence: 545

Constitution: 689

Agility: 667

Equipment: Red Sky [Epic]

Skill: Void Summoning Spell, Red Sky God Flame, Unison of Heaven and Earth

Talent: Supreme Blessing [SSS-grade]

Summoned creature: Holy Angel [Super God]

Status: Godhood Ladder [from summoned creature] (Gained 30% of the current summoned creature’s attributes bonus)

(PS: Attributes = basic attributes+equipment attribute bonus+summoned creature’s attribute bonus)

Looking at this attribute screen that could be said to be luxurious, the corners of Link’s lips unconsciously lifted.

The basic attributes of this body were not high. Other than [Intelligence]—which had perhaps reached 40 points because of his rebirth—everything else was at around 20 points.

This also fit the initial attributes of a normal person.

However... his profession, [Great Void Taboo Master], was Taboo-grade.

For every level he advanced, he gained a full 50 bonus points for each attribute.

He had advanced from Stage One, Level 1 to Stage One, Level 4. These three levels had added 150 bonus points to each of his attributes. In addition, his Epic-grade weapon—[Red Sky]’s amplification for his respective attributes was also very high.

Moreover, a passive skill named [Red Sky Sword Intent] had boosted three of his basic attributes—[Strength], [Constitution], and [Agility]—by an additional 100%.

With this, his attributes were very frightening!

For ordinary [Doomsday Online] players, their attributes would not exceed 10, even at Stage One, Level 10.

His present ability had surpassed the others by more than ten times. Furthermore, as his level became higher and higher, the disparity between him and others would become increasingly greater.

This—was the terrifying aspect of Taboo-grade professions.
