Chapter 22:Sword of the Angel Slayer

Does anyone know what I'm thinking right now...

Right now, all I want to do is flip off God and curse his entire family for 18 generations. Not even the ants in the anthill by his tree would be spared.

I can deal with level 99 requirements, at least there's still hope. But can someone tell me how to allocate my points when I reach level 100 so that I can have a strength of 540 and agility of 328?

Even if I put all my points into strength, adding only five per level, it will only amount to 520 by level 100! What about agility? Shouldn't I add anything to health or mana?

And not even a glimmer of hope left for me - if there were any sockets available, maybe I could insert some gems that reduce requirements. But nope, all six sockets are already filled!

This is clearly giving me no chance at all!

I am so frustrated that blood almost spurts out from my mouth. Holding a weapon more powerful than any artifact but never being able to use it is the greatest frustration in life. The most powerful weapon comes with equally strong restrictions which makes people drool over it but unable to wield it.

Suddenly, a quote from a famous person comes to mind: "When you're thirsty for water, God gives you an adult film; after watching it he then gives you an old lady over ninety years old who scratches her head and fidgets..."

I hate myself for being blind back then - everything was my fault! After making this sword, without much thought added six damage-increasing gems inside just because they looked cool. Now karma has finally caught up with me!

The human heart is like this - always unsatisfied. Although I keep telling myself that having one bug protection charm is enough and getting more will attract lightning strikes on me...but still cannot forgive myself.

If I could wield this sword, even with my current level of one, I would have enough confidence to defeat any one of the three demon gods.

Greed is not so easily suppressed. If everyone could suppress their greed with reason, then the world wouldn't be in such chaos.

I am no saint and cannot completely control my emotions. But after spending more than ten days in the Dark Continent, experiencing life's fragility, battle's brutality, friendship between friends and craziness after obtaining a bug protection charm - all these have given me great training for my new self. So after being sad for a while, I also realized that at least I have an extra bug protection charm compared to others and a sword that is even more powerful than any artifact - although it is impossible for me to use it. But holding it just to look at it isn't bad either; sometimes you need to be optimistic about life or else you'll break down easily.

Joyful moments followed by crazy ones; disappointment mixed with pain and regret...in less than a day's time I've experienced ups and downs that some people may never encounter in their entire lives. Perhaps this is God's test for me? If I can withstand it then maybe I can open up new possibilities for the Dark Continent and become stronger than Tala Rasha himself! But if not...who knows what will happen? Maybe succumb to temptation or directly taken back by God...

Actually, I didn't know at first that as a time traveler, I possessed the power of Druid. However, there was still a huge gap between me and other job changers in terms of mentality and willpower. Those who had undergone cruel training since childhood had far surpassed me in terms of mentality and willpower, as I used to live like a greenhouse flower in my original world. Therefore, the test just now was absolutely necessary for me. The true strength of a strong person often lies not in the size of their power but rather in their strong heart.

Playing around with this sword that could be called an ultra-godly weapon out of boredom... Ha ha! Can't lift it? Can't play with it? Stabbing you... stabbing you... stabbing you to death...

I accidentally looked at the question mark on the sword and felt puzzled. This was clearly a modified version of Space Blade; why did its name become "?????" now?

I tried putting my hand on this dreamlike godly sword and suddenly realized that there was an empty field above it. It seemed like I needed to give it a name.

What should I call it? Xuan Yuan Sword? Emperor's Sword? Pfft! Too cliché! Moreover, since I have already accepted my fate coming to this dark world, I shouldn't have any connection with my original world anymore; doing so would only increase sadness.

Thinking about Akara's words about Dark History made up my mind about what to name this sword.

Angel Slayer!

Nowadays, carrying out justice is my mission as a righteous warrior - driving Hell forces out from Diablo continent! Hohoho~ If those birdmen from heaven want to play some petty tricks then don’t blame me for being impolite; after all, I never really liked them anyway.

Swearing by the name of this sword: gods shall fall before me while demons shall perish under my blade.

Exiting the storage box, I looked at the job changers still daydreaming around me and sneered inwardly. Just watch; those who once mocked me will know the sorrow of being weak in the future.

I have never been a good person - lecherous, selfish, petty-minded. The only justice I possess is buried somewhere deep inside my heart and only occasionally emerges when provoked. Revenge for revenge, grudge for grudge - this is something that I am always willing to follow through with.

After leaving the square, I followed Doug's instructions. Although he gave me a tent, I still needed to prepare many things for the adventure. First of all, dry food and some essential tools for adventurers such as a small knife, hemp rope net, traps and so on. In order to improve our cooking situation, I also bought a large pot so that we could have something hot to drink from time to time.

Some dry wood is also necessary, not too much, just a little bit is enough, but it's absolutely essential. Although there are many small forests in the wilderness that can provide plenty of wood, once it rains, things will become difficult.

There are also some animal furs which can be used as blankets. Even in the summer wilderness, nights can be very cold.

When I finished preparing everything I knew was necessary, I realized that my inventory was already half full.

I had planned to leave from the west district since it's a commercial area and buying supplies would be convenient on my way out. As soon as I finished preparing everything, the huge and awkward gate of the west district came into view.

Ten Rogues were still standing guard at the gate. When they saw me coming out, two of them ran over with respectful expressions on their faces.

It turned out to be Deck and Al who escorted us back when Lal and I returned earlier. They showed great respect towards me because being a Transcender is quite impressive for them. This reminded me of how well-treated I was at Rogge Camp; apparently my status falls somewhere between upper-middle class and lower-upper class - not bad!

"Mr Fan," one Rogue said respectfully to me,"Are you leaving now?"

"Yes," I replied excitedly yet nervously like a rebellious child who has just left home.

Deck and Al exchanged glances before chatting with me while testing whether or not I have any experience traveling outside Rogge Camp.

Once they found out that Akara had taught me what to prepare even though this would be my first time going outside campgrounds alone without anyone else's protection or guidance , they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Please forgive our rudeness." Both men apologized simultaneously.

"It's okay." Though slightly annoyed by their behavior which seemed condescending towards me,I waved it off knowing that they meant well.I'm sure they would have been happy to teach me if I had shown any signs of ignorance.

"Good luck on your journey," they said while bowing respectfully with their hands over their chests.

"Thank you. The safety of Rogge Camp is in your hands, so do a good job."

Seeing the respectful look on their faces, I couldn't help but feel like a leader myself.

"Haha..."

As I watched Rogge Camp disappear into the distance, I did a somersault out of excitement. It's like what people say: "The sea is wide and fish leap; the sky is high and birds fly." That probably describes my expression at this moment perfectly.

What I want to do most now is run wild in the wilderness, shout as loud as possible and let my voice echo throughout the land. But thinking about Lal's strength makes me cautious. My own strength may be slightly better than that of a level 1 newbie - only having an advantage of 165% critical hit rate, 400% experience gain rate and one whiteboard wooden stick- it's not strong enough yet especially since I am alone without anyone else around for protection or guidance .

I immediately took out that whiteboard wooden stick from my inventory just in case. This area still belongs to Rogge Campgrounds' range so there shouldn't be any monsters appearing frequently except for occasional patrols by Rogues or shepherds grazing animals nearby.

After walking for more than two hours,Rogge Camp has become nothing more than a small dot on the horizon.I haven't seen another person for half an hour.My heart suddenly tightened up.The excitement from earlier disappeared instantly.This isn't just some outdoor activity; it's life-threatening combat.I reminded myself silently that this was serious business now.

Bending down slightly,I slowly moved forward trying not to make any noise with each step.Trying not to get too close to small bushes or trees, I tried to keep everything around me in my sight.

Soon, I found a Sunken Demon Camp consisting of four Sunken Demons and one Sunken Demon Mage. They aren't very intelligent so if I lure the demons away first and then come back to kill the mage, it should be easy to take care of the remaining four demons.

I believe that with proper strategy, I have the ability to defeat them. If Lal and his team were here with me now,I'm sure they would not hesitate to implement this plan as well.

But that's just an "if". The fact is they are not here with me right now. Although my strength is slightly better than theirs , unexpected things can happen at any time especially since I lack experience in this area .

After much consideration, I decided to take a detour instead.I believe Lal would have made the same decision if he were in my shoes.This isn't cowardice; it's being cautious.

My experience is really too little to deal with unexpected situations. Those who have experienced life and death are all experienced veterans. Even if accidents happen, they can react in time and even if they lose, they won't lose their lives.

I have come to a conclusion that experience is gained through battles, while ability is improved through continuous life-and-death struggles. There is a gradual process between the two. A rookie with poor experience wants to engage in life-and-death struggles and quickly enhance his abilities from it; this kind of thing only happens in novels.

As luck would have it, during my detour, I suddenly discovered several black dots wandering not far away. Based on my 10-day experience, I immediately guessed that these should be several zombies.

Although zombies are disgusting, they are our favorite as newcomers.

I immediately crouched down and lurked past them. Soon enough, several disgusting figures appeared before me.

Sure enough, they were zombies - three of them! I was delighted because this number was just right - not too little for gaining some experience but not too many to avoid being surrounded. It's simply tailor-made for rookies.
