Chapter 934, Middle-Ranked God
Putting aside the fact that the equipment was switched by someone, this long bow is actually quite impressive.
It is of Dark Gold quality, and its effects include increased Movement Speed, shooting speed, and target deceleration.
All the necessary attributes for a bow have been incorporated into it.
It's just these Thunderbolt arrows...
I'm a little puzzled by them?
Picking them up and fiddling for a bit, I attempted to draw the bowstring.
With the pull of the bowstring, an arrow shimmering with Thunderbolt appeared on the long bow.
Fang Hao's eyes widened a fraction.
So that's what Thunderbolt arrows are about.
Just like the bow of the God of Hunting, simply pulling the bowstring creates an arrow.
What a fine item.
This way, there's no need for a quiver anymore.
For archers, wearing a quiver can actually be quite a hindrance to their movements.
Continuing to read the weapon's description below.
Fang Hao's brows furrowed again.
A weapon polished from the forearm bone of a Storm Giant?
Isn't that a bit too cruel?
It's practically torture.
But from this piece of information, he deduced who had switched out the long bow.
The Hundred-armed Giant!
He is the only one with an arm fit for archery, and the one who could relate to the Giant Age, other than the Hundred-armed Giant who just fought with the God of Hunting.
Seems like the Hundred-armed Giant doesn't only fight.
He also discerns weapons and switches them out for his own use.
That said, during that last fight against the God of Deception, were there any battle loots that were taken by him as well?
I wandered around the ruins once more, looking around.
I didn't find the Divinity of that female Demigod.
She must have Resurrected through some Hero's Altar.
Fang Hao continued to linger here, climbing out of the deep pit.
At the Gate of the Worlds, several Nisbits were waiting on the side.
He spoke directly: "Clean up the battlefield, collect all items of value."
"Yes, my lord."
After giving the orders, Fang Hao passed through the Gate of the Worlds and returned to the main city.
...
Releasing the divine ascension, he returned to the Lord's Mansion.
There he saw the Dragon Queen, idly sitting in a chair.
Scars from wounds on her forehead and neck were still visible; it would probably take some time for her to fully heal.
"How are you feeling? Any better?" Fang Hao walked in and sat down beside her.
The Dragon Queen lifted her head, "Mmh, I'm fine. How did it go on your end?"
Fang Hao took out the Divinity, placing it on the table; its dazzling light immediately caught her attention.
"Dead?" The Dragon Queen's eyes narrowed sharply.
A middle-ranked deity had just died like that.
But what surprised her more than a dead middle-ranked deity was the backup Fang Hao had called in.
Last time, they helped kill the God of Deception, and this time they killed the God of Hunting.
And the other party didn't take the Divinity, only helped out with the task.
Is this an ally, or a hitman?
Could it be that Fang Hao is the son of some deity?
Although she speculated about who the ally was, she had no intention of asking.
She was now completely tied to Fang Hao; knowing these things was not important, as long as she was sure that the other party would not turn on her.
The Dragon Queen glanced at the Divinity and then asked: "Didn't you get any other spoils?"
Fang Hao took out another bow made of yellowed bone, "There's another bow, and there should also be a Transmigrator's Chest. I've already dispatched people to search."
The Dragon Queen nodded, yawned, and lazily leaned back in her chair.
Fang Hao thought for a moment and then said: "I plan to use the God of Hunting's Divinity myself, so I will be able to assist you more in future battles."
It seems his Divinity level is high, but the output all depends on the Dragon Queen.
He is at most an assistant.
Therefore, he plans to use this Divinity for himself, not only to secure his lordship but also to boost the combat power of this alliance.
However, this battle was fought together with the Dragon Queen.
He wants the lion's share of the spoils, but he still has to discuss it with her.
If she does not agree, Fang Hao would not use it. Instead, he would find a solution to compensate her before using it.
The relationship with his ally must continue.
The Dragon Queen opened her eyes to look at him, then said: "As long as you have a plan, I have no objections."
"Hmm," Fang Hao nodded.
Then, in front of her, he picked up the Divinity once more.
[A fifth-level Divinity is available for absorption. Would you like to absorb it?]
Absorb.
The brilliant Divinity turned into a surge of powerful energy, coursing into his body.
The energy this time was even more violent than before.
Inside his body, he could even feel a faint stabbing pain.
[Successful integration of 'fifth-level Divinity', your Power of Faith has been increased.]
[Unlocked traits: Sharp Eyes of the Eagle, Endless Hunt, Wind of the Elf.]
[Unlocked Skills: Wind Arrow, Wind Riding.]
...
The integration of the Divinity was successful.
One could clearly feel the expansion of divine energy within the body.
It was like a sensation of water being injected into the body, even somewhat uncomfortable.
[Your Divinity Level has been raised to level 6.]
Hearing this, Fang Hao's brows furrowed slightly.
I was at Level 3 Divinity, but after absorbing a Level 5 Divinity, I transformed into Level 6.
That is to say, the calculation of Divinity isn't as simple as 3+5; it depends on the level of divine energy.
For instance, two Level 1 Divinities wouldn't amount to Level 2. It might take the consumption of a third or even a fourth Level 1 Divinity to reach the fullness of Level 2.
No wonder the deities are so distrustful of each other; absorbing Divinities is much faster than accumulating the Power of Faith through cultivating followers.
Relay on followers' slow accumulation, and you fear you'll never break through from a Demigod to a true deity in your lifetime.
The Dragon Queen and Isabella are prime examples—these two women, no matter how old they are, have always been Demigods.
If it hadn't been for Fang Hao's help to the Dragon Queen, with just her reputation and the Dragon Clan's population,
It would have been a lifetime struggle.
Regardless, reaching Level 6 is quite pleasing indeed.
The discomfort caused by the expansion of energy has been overshadowed by the joy in my heart.
After being excited for a good while, the Dragon Queen stared at him speechlessly.
Only then did I suppress my emotions and began to review the newly unlocked traits and skills.
[Sharp Eyes of the Eagle]: Achieve extraordinary vision to spot the fatal weaknesses of enemies.
[Endless Hunting]: Hunt targets beyond the constraints of distance and space.
[Wind of the Elf]: Blessed by wind elves, enhancing the effect of wind skills, action, gesture, and Movement Speed.
[Wind Arrow]: Release a mighty arrow with the wind elves, speed +200%, attack +120%.
[Wind Riding]: Glide on the wind, speed +80%, and a wind elf can substitute to block damage once (cooldown 30 seconds).
Three traits and two skills.
But it seems they differ somewhat from previous traits.
It's no longer about adding a certain amount of Attack Power; it's more like compulsory ability.
For example, the first one 'Sharp Eyes of the Eagle,' possessing extraordinary vision to discern an enemy's fatal weakness.
Right now, I can feel the enhancement of my vision.
Looking out from the lord's mansion, I can see distances which were once out of sight, even the furthest end, where Red General flutters around teasing insects.
This is terrifying. It's probably farther than the limit of binoculars and even clearer.
And the most outlandish aspect of this trait is the ability to discern an enemy's fatal weakness.
Immediately, I turned my gaze towards the Dragon Queen.
Upon observation, a special mark appeared on the head area.
No wonder, the God of Hunting took the trouble to aim for the head with an arrow; the weak spot is right there.
However, the Dragon Queen's physical strength is truly impressive.
Even at the most vulnerable spot, she was only brought to the brink of death and did not die outright.
I guess, unless her head is chopped off, she wouldn't die quickly.
Feeling somewhat uncomfortable under his gaze, the Dragon Queen first touched her face, then pulled up her collar.
She spoke softly, "Don't go too far."
Fang Hao immediately realized, coughed lightly, and averted his gaze.
Continuing to analyze this trait.
It could be said that this is an outright abnormal ability.
Being able to see the weak spots means that any hit becomes a critical hit, and could even instantly kill the opponent.
A cheat-like ability.
Joyful in my heart, I look towards the second trait.
'Endless Hunting' allows one to hunt the target without distance and spatial restrictions.
This trait isn't hard to guess.
It's the ability that had me chased by three arrows last time.
Truly perverse. To disregard distance and limitations is basically no different from an intercontinental missile.
And it's a precise homing attack; relentless until death.
Another perverse ability.
What's with this God of Hunting? How come both traits are so twisted?
Just a middle-ranked deity and already with such effects?
Simply terrifying, it almost feels unfair to them to die at my hand.
The third trait 'Wind of the Elf' enhances the effects of wind skills, and action, gesture, Movement Speed all receive boosts.
In the current magic system, many offensive spells of wind attribute are developed, but most of those for oneself merely augment speed.
This trait is also powerful; whether it's attacking or moving, it all becomes swifter.
But compared to the first two, it seems a bit more ordinary.
The following are two skills.
'Wind Arrow' and 'Wind Riding'.
Wind Arrow is an offensive skill, adding 200% to speed. With my Level 6 deity base attributes,
firing an arrow, it would reach the opponent in the blink of an eye.
With an increase in attack power by 120%, striking an enemy deity's weak point at a lower Divinity level could deal a heavy blow.
The last skill 'Wind Riding' appears to be a passive one, increasing speed by 80%, and a wind elf can replace and absorb a hit of damage.
Replacing to absorb the damage, this wording is a bit vague, but it doesn't matter.
It's enough to know it's a skill to protect oneself.
After reviewing the new traits, I'm quite satisfied.
"Done absorbing?" The Dragon Queen asked again.
For them, absorption means gradually siphoning, as Divinity transforms into energy that fuses with their own bodies.
The Divinity just now vanished instantly from Fang Hao's hands.
If it weren't for seeing his aura surge to a terrifying extent,
She would have thought Fang Hao had put the Divinity into his storage space.
"Yes, absorbed it all," Fang Hao smiled at her.
Under scrutiny, I can see her fine pores and the vessels beneath her skin.
The Dragon Queen truly has exquisite skin, and it's plump, too.
"A transmigrator's method of absorption truly is unique."
"After all, we start with a disadvantage. If we followed your method of absorption, even if all the transmigrators died, none would become a Demigod," Fang Hao said as he picked up his teacup and took a light sip.
The Dragon Queen nodded in agreement.
Transmigrators have many traits not possessed by the natives, but aren't suited to this world.
Without the ability to create and build, they are even inferior to ordinary farmers.
The Dragon Queen also took a light sip from her teacup before she continued softly, "I want the Dragon Clan to have one more Demigod."
"Oh?"
