Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The divine furnace that was initially shaking gradually became quiet and wisps of black smoke started coming out of the lid. At the same time, he heard a notification.
Ding~ System notification: Fusion successful. Congratulations. You have received an armour.
"Haha! It worked!"
Jing Ming had been praying for it to work and started getting anxious about it. When he heard the notification, he became so excited that he almost started dancing. Then, he immediately opened his inventory to take a look at the black armour.
(Reaper's boots) : Iron equipment
Attributes: Agility +5, transportation speed +20
Additional skill: Phantom Shadow: Main skill. Able to increase transportation speed by 200%. Every step he takes, he would leave a shadow behind. Everytime these shadows get activated, they would exclude causing an additional 50% damage. This skill lasts for 5 seconds and cooling time is 30 seconds.
Phantom steps: Active skill. After being activated, the moving speed would increase by an additional 50%. Both feet would be intertwined by death energy and every second used would consume 1 mana points.

Equipment can be upgraded: For each player killed, you would gain 1 soul point. In order to upgrade to level 1, 10 points of soul are required. For level 2, 20 points; level 3, 30 points required and level 4, 40 points required and so on….
Equipment level: 10
Reaper's armour (2) additional : all attributes +5
After looking through the attributes of the equipment in his inventory, Jiang Ming became extremely thrilled. Although he already expected that there's a chance the Reaper's armour would appear after he fused the deconstructed materials together. But when it actually appeared right in front of his eyes, the feeling was indescribable. The momentary excitement immediately blanked his mind.
After trying to calm himself down, he took out the boots from the inventory and put it on.
When he upgraded the Reaper's Scythe, he still had an additional two thousand soul points left. Just as he put on the Reaper's boots, the remaining soul points were added to the boots and it immediately reached level 10. The Reaper's boot went from wood equipment to iron equipment.
After putting on the boots, his attributes increased again. Attack went from 84 to 106, defense was 34 and HP was 420.
His attributes were already much higher than other players. With his new attributes, he would be able to kill any mage within seconds; even if he met an MT.
"Phantom Steps!"
He muttered to himself. Then, at the next moment, the black boots on his feet started emitting black death energy. It intertwined between both of his legs and when he tried taking two steps forwards, he could feel that his body was much lighter than before. He could travel about five to six meters with only 2 steps and it was within a very short amount of time.
"Phantom Shadow!"
He muttered again and this time, he was twice as fast as before and everywhere he went, he left behind multiple shadows.
"Boom!"
With a loud sound, all the shadows around him instantly exploded. As all of them exploded, there was dust all over the place.
"Hahahaha, I finally got to increase my speed. Now I can use the Displacement Technique that I have created before this."
Jiang Ming turned around and laughed as he saw the scene behind him.
"Hong hong~ Crack~~"
Just as he was engrossed in the moment of happiness, he suddenly heard a loud thunder followed with several explosions which startled him and he curiously looked towards the direction of the canyon.
It seemed like there was someone fighting in the canyon. From the sound of it, they must be really powerful people. 'Should I go and have a look?' Jiang Ming was filled with curiosity as he slowly walked to the canyon.
When the Demon Wolf King saw Jiang Ming walking to the canyon, it hesitated, but eventually, it followed Jiang Ming into the canyon.
Soon, Jiang Ming reached the depth of the canyon and the scene that unfolded in front of him immediately stunned him.
There was an elderly man in a gray robe who was eluding black gas around him as he sat on top of a puppet dragon. He was fighting with another man who wore a mage's robe that was surrounded by a white halo. This man, who was surrounded by the white light, had a wand in his hand that shot lighting one after another.
Around the elderly in the gray robe were lots of puppet monsters of various attributes. Some were releasing magic spells, while the others held huge blades and swung the blades at the man in the mage's robe. There were also puppet monsters who were flying around in the sky and were throwing down explosives like grenades at the man in the mage's robe.
On the other hand, the man in the mage's robe was completely surrounded by a lightning enchantment and was absorbing all the attacks from the puppet monsters. He was standing on the edge and was calmly chanting the magic spells. With each spell chanted, layers of dark cloud would appear in the sky and there would be lightning shot towards the elderly man.
The entire canyon was filled with magic spells and lightning. Jiang Ming was shocked when he saw this scene as it looked even more realistic than the special effects in the movies. He also managed to guess what their professions were by observing the battle.
The elderly man should be a machinist from the Demon Clan and the other man in the mage's robe should be a thunder mage from the Holy Clan.
Crow Cliff: Demon Clan level 150 NPC
Attributes : ???
Sky Wing: Holy Clan Level 150 NPC
Attributes: ???
"What?" Jiang Ming looked through both of their attributes and immediately became speechless. The level 150 NPC from both clans were having a battle. The damage of each attack would probably be more than ten thousand points. 'I better stand further away from here in case they hit me by accident.'
Jiang Ming said to himself as he moved to a suitable corner where he could hide himself but still see the battle that was going on.
Although Crow Cliff was a machinist and had lots of puppet monsters, he still had the lower hand fighting Sky Wing who was a thunder mage.
His puppet monsters were all very powerful, but the thunder enchantment that Sky Wing cast was very strong. It was almost impossible that Sky Wing would be injured as long as the thunder enchantment was still there.
Not only that, but since Sky Wing was a mge, he didn't even have to move. All he had to do was chant the magic spells and the attacks would continue. Therefore, Crow Cliff's attacks didn't even reach Sky Wing.
Sky Wing's skills were mostly group attacks which meant that the damage would be very high, and each lighting strike would take away a huge amount of the puppet monster's HP.
Crow Cliff initially planned to get close to Sky Wing with one of his puppet monsters. However, before he could take another step forward, there was a resistance aura that appeared around Sky Wing which threw Crow Cliff out, his body tumbling backward. Additionally, It did a massive amount of damage.
As Jiang Ming watched the battle, he was shocked that a machinist would be overpowered by a mage. But it made sense. Although mages could be easily killed in the earlier period, once they had completed the three turns and were able to use their enchantments, they would become extremely powerful. Plus, the mage's attacks were much higher than the other professions. So , it made sense that they were able to overpower most of the professions out there.
"Senior brother, why are you doing this? The evil ones from the Demon Clan would one day be killed by the Holy Clan. As long as you give me the intelligence, I'll let you go. I'll even let you join the Holy Clan, what do you think?" Sky Wing gently waved the wand that was in his hand and multiple layers of lightning started to accumulate above Crow Cliff's head.
Crow Cliff frowned and murderous intent flared in his eyes as he stared at Sky Wing. "Forget it. You lied to all of us and even defiled our younger sister. You are even more evil than the demon itself. I can't believe that the Holy Clan allowed someone like you into their clan. Or the people in the Holy Clan are just as evil as you are. As for the intelligence in my hand, I would never give it to you even if I die."
...
After hearing their conversation, Jiang Ming finally understood what was happening. Sky Wing from the Holy Clan and Crow Cliff from the Demon Clan were initially apprentices of the same master. However, Sky Wing killed their master for fame and even defiled his master's daughter. He is such a bastard! On the other hand, Crow Cliff was loyal to his master and was willing to die in order to protect the intelligence that he had in his hands. He was a loyal man and Jiang Ming was impressed with his actions.
"Hong~"
At this moment, the battle became even more brutal and Jiang Ming, who was hiding in the corner, suddenly thought of something. He frowned as he made a very disheartening decision...
