Reincarnation Of The Strongest Sword God - Chapter 4

Chapter 4

Chapter 4 - The Sensation Caused By Death

Town Mayor Cross’ furious roar reverberated throughout the entire Town Hall .

With a high speed, Cross instantly arrived in front of Shi Feng, his fist stretching out towards Shi Feng .

The other players were currently reveling in Shi Feng’s misfortune, taking the chance to gauge Town Mayor Cross’ strength .

Cross was a Level 15 Elite, and a single slap from him was enough to swat the current players to death . However, Shi Feng was foolish to the degree of actually angering the mayor . Not a single person in the entire Red Leaf Town could save him now . He would be jailed until he was on his deathbed or he would be chased out of Red Leaf Town .

However, Shi Feng’s surprisingly calm attitude puzzled the other players . Was he already prepared for death?

When Cross was about to hit Shi Feng, the stationary Shi Feng finally moved . Like a hunter waiting for his prey, Shi Feng immediately unsheathed his Novice Sword . With swift motions, he used the sword to defend his body .

Peng!

Cross’ fist landed on the Novice Sword, sending Shi Feng’s entire person flying . Just as Shi Feng was about to fall, he flipped his body, landing steadily on the ground with the flexibility of a cat . However, his HP had instantly decreased by 84, and the Novice Sword in his grip trembled uncontrollably . The sword’s durability had even reduced by 1 point; the weapon would become useless once its durability dropped to 0 .

Si……

All the players drew in a cold breath .

Seeing Shi Feng’s troublemaking, they had initially thought of him as a mere rookie . However, after Shi Feng’s recent performance, anybody with a discerning eye could tell he was a very skillful person . Even if Cross had low physical damage as a mage, as a Level 15 Elite, he could still kill any of the current players in a single strike . Yet, Shi Feng was alive . He had used his weapon to block the attack, reducing the damage to a minimum .

“He’s clearly a mage, and yet his strength and speed are truly shocking . ” Shi Feng silently marveled as he at looked the lamenting Novice Sword in his grip . Fortunately, he had added all his points to Agility, increasing his Attack Speed to 4 . Otherwise, he would surely be dead by now, having to start his Quest all over again .

“Die, insect!”

After failing his strike, Cross was further enraged . Suddenly, his clothes were ripped apart, revealing a body covered in pitch black fur; Cross had turned into a Werewolf with sharp fangs .

Every player was shocked at this moment . Never would they have thought the mayor was an evil Werewolf .

Cross arrived at Shi Feng’s back in an instant, raising his bright snowy claws and slashing them at Shi Feng’s heart .

However, Shi Feng revealed a cold grin, even though he only had 16 HP remaining .

Cross’ claws suddenly stopped; they were only a few centimeters away from dealing with Shi Feng . Unfortunately, Cross was hit by a Level 25 Guard’s [Charge], entering a Fainted state for 1 second .

Shi Feng took this chance to quickly move away .

Just when Cross was about to rush Shi Feng after awakening, he was interrupted once more by another Guard .

Both of the Guards were Level 25 Warriors . Although neither of them was Elites, the damage they dished out was relatively high . A Charge, coupled with a normal attack, had quickly taken 300 HP away from Cross . Two Guards had taken away a total of 600 HP, causing Cross’ HP to fall to 1700 in an instant .

“As expected of the Guards, their attack power sure is high . ” Shi Feng chuckled as he looked at Cross’ sorry state .

Guards were the protectors of the town . They were specialized in protecting the town’s civilians and resisting against the invasion of evil beings . At this moment, the mayor had transformed into a Werewolf; proof that he was not a human, but a spy for the powers of evil . The guards would naturally not let him go, killing him as if he were no different than the monsters in the wild .

On the surface, the conditions of Sherlock’s request seemed harsh . In reality, however, players only needed to actively attack the mayor, subsequently surviving the mayor’s first strike . Afterward was just smooth sailing . The Guards would handle the rest after the mayor revealed his true self .

In Shi Feng’s previous life, the reason this Unique Quest could shock the entire White River City, was because the Town Mayor was a spy for the forces of evil . This Quest had allowed players to have a new perspective towards God’s Domain; the NPCs were not entirely reliable, as they might be one of the forces of evil in disguise .

Simultaneously, the player who completed the Quest had shocked everyone with his method of baiting the Town Mayor . The player had racked his brain to complete the Quest and, naturally, he wanted to show off his efforts by revealing his strategy . Now, though, it was being taken advantage of by Shi Feng .

As such, Cross was now being attacked by the two Guards . Although the damage dealt by the Guards was very high, Cross’ target had never shifted away from Shi Feng . He continuously aimed to kill Shi Feng but, unfortunately for him, the two Guards stuck to him like glue . One of the Guards used [Bone Crusher], while the other used [Thundering Strike], causing Cross’ Movement Speed to plummet . Fortunately, Shi Feng was able to escape death with his 5 points of Movement Speed .

Just like that, Cross’ over 2000 HP was nearly depleted .

When the other players saw Cross dying, many of them started becoming restless; they wanted to land the last strike on the mayor . They did not understand why the Guards were attacking Cross instead of Shi Feng but a Town Mayor who was also a Level 15 Elite…… if he died, he would definitely drop some great items .

Hiding some place far away, Shi Feng smiled in disdain in regards to their thoughts .

Was the Town Mayor someone they could have ideas about? Although the mayor had become one of the forces of evil, this was only a part of the Quest’s plot . In the eyes of the other players, the mayor was still in a Friendly state; it was not possible to attack the mayor at all .

When Cross only had 100 HP remaining, all the other players started moving . All of them simultaneously rushed towards Town Mayor Cross . All of them wanted to give the final strike, snatching away the dropped items .

Seeing that Cross was only a hit away from death’s door, Shi Feng, too, dashed out .

Unfortunately, Cross still died under the Guard’s blade in the end . Not a single one of the players was able to strike at Cross . Although Shi Feng could attack, he did not want to risk it . After the mayor’s death, he immediately took away the [Mayor’s Insignia] and disappeared into the crowd .

NPCs within a city would not yield any EXP or loot if killed . Shi Feng wouldn’t even be able to obtain the Mayor’s Insignia were it not for a Quest .

“Crap! The System’s bugged! Why can’t I attack the mayor?”

“I want to complain! Why didn’t the mayor drop anything after death?”

Some of the rookie players resentfully complained . A Level 15 Elite had died before their eyes, yet they did not obtain a single advantage; they simply could not accept it .

“Moron . Don’t you know you have a Friendly relationship with the NPC? Players can’t attack an NPC with a Friendly relationship . If you don’t even know such common knowledge, why bother playing God’s Domain?”

After ridiculing the rookies, the competent players searched for traces of Shi Feng . A player who could kill the Town Mayor in such a way was definitely an expert, someone they should associate with . However, they could not spot Shi Feng, even after looking for a long time . They also did not know his name . They could not help but secretly feel pity .

Meanwhile, news of Town Mayor Cross’ death spread throughout Red Leaf Village, creating a sensation amongst all the players .

At this phase of the game, where players were still worrying over grinding monsters for Levels, the leader of a town was toyed to death so simply . This was just too mind-blowing!

Not even thirty minutes since God’s Domain’s opening, a news thread appeared on the official site’s forums .

Mysterious Swordsman kills off Level 15 Elite, Red Leaf Town Mayor . The leader of a town was actually a Werewolf in disguise . Exactly what kind of game is God’s Domain?

This news thread instantly caused a sensation amongst the players . It only took a moment for the number of clicks to the page to go past ten million . Everyone became interested with this mysterious Swordsman . Unfortunately, they could not contact the person since nobody knew his name .

By now, Shi Feng had already arrived at the dark alley .

“Mister Sherlock, this is the Mayor’s Insignia that you requested . ” Shi Feng passed silver colored Mayor’s Insignia to the beggar, Sherlock .

With the Quest’s completion, bad news came to both the players who had already received a Quest and for those who were currently trying to receive one from the mayor . This was because Cross would not respawn . They would have no place to submit their Quest even if it was completed . Red Leaf Town would also no longer have a mayor, though Shi Feng could care less about that .

“Thank you . Thank you, so much . I have finally attained revenge for my friend . These things should be of help to you . ”

Sherlock passed Shi Feng a delicate little box . Subsequently, Sherlock took the Mayor’s Insignia and left the dark alley .

System: Unique Quest “Sherlock’s Request” completed . Rewarding 2000 EXP, 20 Free Mastery Points, 1 [Luxurious Ornament Box] .

With a “Hua” sound, Shi Feng became Level 1, and he was only 1000 EXP away from Level 2 . Shi Feng’s Level became Red Leaf Town’s top one, only thirty minutes after the start of God’s Domain . In normal circumstances, the average player required 1000 EXP to rise to Level 1 . Such an amount required at least six or seven hours of grinding monsters, as each Level 0 monster only gave 3 EXP . Time was also needed to look for monsters, to recover, and so on . Factoring in the massive amount of players at the start of the game that was fighting over monsters, taking over ten hours to arrive at Level 1 could be considered average .

“Why is the Unique Quest’s reward so generous? Was it because I completed it at Level 0?” Shi Feng became slightly uncertain but he was still delighted with such rewards .

In his previous life, the rewards posted were not as luxurious . Although the amount of EXP was the same, the number of Free Mastery Points was not .  The other person only received 10 points for it, as well as a Delicate Ornament Box, while Shi Feng received 20 points and a Luxurious Ornament Box .

Free Mastery Points were extremely precious in God’s Domain .  Rarely would a Quest award 3 to 5 points . This Unique Quest had awarded 20 points .

“Hopefully, it won’t let me down . Although it isn’t a Delicate Ornament Box, it is still the better Luxurious Ornament Box . It should come out . ” Shi Feng carefully held the Ornament box, a nervous gulp coming from his throat . Slowly, he opened the box .

Though the EXP and Free Mastery Points were great, what Shi Feng really wanted was the item inside the Ornament Box . It was an essential item he needed to complete his leveling and money making plans . It was also a top-tier item that many experts drooled over . Shi Feng would cry to death if something went wrong .
