Dragon Tribulation of All Realms

Chapter 73: Fully Armed and on the Road

Wu Chen returned to reality.

He was still standing at the side hall, in front of the mural.

The sounds of nobles discussing and laughing could be heard again in the distance, and Hera Molly's attendant Qina appeared again at the door of the side hall.

"Please follow me." She bowed slightly to Wu Chen. "Lady Hera has prepared a place for you."

"it is good."

Wu Chen followed.

He was somewhat curious about Hera Mori's position within the palaces of the kings—she was clearly a guest, yet she seemed to hold considerable power, like a half-owner. This might be due to the influence of the court wizards and the magic academy, but it wasn't a significant issue.

At least it doesn't matter right now.

Accompanied by Qina, he left the side hall and headed to a secluded residence outside the palace of the kings. It was very quiet, and the surrounding environment was also very pleasant. The interior furnishings were also quite luxurious and appropriate, and there was a small library and alchemy enchantment workshop on the upper floor.

For a wizard who rarely wants to be disturbed, this kind of residence can meet most of his needs. The only thing missing is a large enough place to test spells.

"If you need anything, please ring this bell. Now, please allow me to take my leave."

After leading him to the residence, Qina bowed and left. She didn't seem to be a Nord, possessing the quiet and polite manner of someone from Cyrodiil. When she completely disappeared from Wu Chen's sight, and Wu Chen had thoroughly inspected the entire room, he went to the master bedroom and lay down.

There is a sense of security.

The velvet mattress was not much different from a modern Simmons mattress, and the entire bedroom was filled with a light, soothing fragrance. He had already sensed the vast magical rituals operating around the palaces of the kings, and was certain that his own residence was also under protection.

It's safe here.

He didn't need to be too wary of his current partner and target, Hera Molly. So, before the final departure, he could still rest up.

Close your eyes, relax your mind, stop the endless reading and rehearsing, and Hera Mori's final words of advice echo in your mind.

You are not an ordinary person, so don't look at yourself with the eyes of an ordinary person.

You should have higher expectations for yourself. You can do better than you expected.

"Believe in yourself, even if you don't. You should trust Hera Mori's vision. I have high expectations for the great achievements you will create, and I believe you will not let me down."

The voice was sincere and resolute; this was indeed what she was thinking. Even though Wu Chen, for unknown reasons, was unable to attract her unrivaled beauty, he was convinced that this witch was indeed one of the most outstanding women he had ever met, and that she had high hopes for him.

The most difficult thing to do when accepting the favor of a beautiful woman is probably a similar scene.

Even though the relationship between the two parties does not contain any sexual desire, this importance makes Wu Chen's heart surge and his fighting spirit high.

He even had a brief dream because of this, dreaming that one day he would be successful and famous, and return to his hometown as a savior and protector, where he would no longer pose any threat to him.

And by then, he must...

........................

Wu Chen opened his eyes.

The clock in the bedroom pointed to twelve o'clock at this moment.

Outside the window, darkness reigned, and a fine, heavy snow fell. The entire ancient city, like a giant beast, had fallen into a deep slumber. Only the immense magic power surging within the city's foundations could act as the beast's breathing and heartbeat.

My spirits have fully recovered.

There is no trace of drowsiness or fatigue in the brain.

There was no trace of hunger in his stomach; the tea he had drunk earlier in the library had undoubtedly provided him with considerable energy. He moved his hands and feet slightly, each movement delicate, even graceful.

It was time to make the final preparations. Wu Chen tilted his head. Unbeknownst to him, a pale white crystal ball had been placed on the cabinet beside his bed. He stretched out his hand slightly toward it, and the crystal ball floated up, slowly circling above his head.

Elemental Orb—Originally a relic-level secret treasure known as the 'Orb of Death,' it was modified and reshaped by a master enchanter. Its inherent negative energy was concentrated and infused with elemental power of equal magnitude. This item can be attached to the user via a permanent telekinetic cord. It serves as a temporary mana pool, enhancing low- and mid-level destruction and summoning spells. Casting elemental spells further enhances its effectiveness.

really.

Even if a purchased item has undergone transformation, enhancement, or even been completely altered, as long as it remains at the same energy level and type, it will still be considered the original, with only a small price difference required. This may or may not be due to some discounts from friends, but the current situation is quite good.

A fireball silently appeared in Wu Chen's hand, and the elemental power gathered there was even more powerful than expected.

Low- and mid-level spells in both schools are enhanced by 20%, while elemental spells receive an additional 30%. This is similar to the original bonus value of the Death Orb. However, the possession of the Perpetual Telekinesis Rope allows it to save equipment slots, not occupying spellcasting units.

Excellent! This was finally an excellent secret treasure that could be brought out into the open and used openly. Besides this, Hera had also placed three other enchanted items.

A pair of light-colored leather gloves that do not hinder the movement of the palms, embellished with gold thread and decorated with silver flakes.

A pair of tough, lightweight boots protected by fine armor plates and with specially reinforced soles.

And an emerald magic ring carved with a snake head, giving people a sense of vitality.

Academy Gloves – These magical gloves were crafted by a master enchanter. They grant the wearer the ability to instantly cast a magic shield and temporarily increase their magic power. To purchase this item, you'll need 800 resource points and a Level 1 purchase voucher.

[Academy Boots—Magic boots crafted by a master enchanter. The wearer can instantly cast Lightness spell on themselves and temporarily increase their health. To purchase this item, you need 1000 resource points and a Level 1 purchase voucher.]

[Serpent Ring—A ring crafted by ancient enchanters, it grants weakened spellcasters a temporary boost to their stamina and increases their vitality and stamina recovery. To purchase this item, you'll need 1500 resource points and a Level 1 purchase voucher.]

Buy them all.

One of the greatest tragedies in the world is that people die before their money starts to be spent.

Since low-level purchase vouchers cannot be synthesized into high-level ones, they should come in handy at this moment.

The credentials were instantly cleared, and only a few hundred resources remained. Wu Chen equipped them, and the next moment, he felt a significant increase in all his parameters.

His body became strong and tough—he summoned the dragon priest's mask and put it on his face. A huge tide of magic flowed through his body. And with full equipment, his spellcasting level was—

——The pinnacle of elite mid-level wizards, only one step away from becoming a high-level wizard... or even half a step away.

"Very good." Wu Chen breathed a sigh of relief. He then applied common buffs like Armor and Inspire. The Dragon Priest's mask naturally unlocked several new ancient spells, such as the Frost Shot and Chain Lightning, both on the same level as Incineration Fireball, as well as many more advanced illusion, recovery, and transformation techniques.

The pure spellcasting ability is roughly equivalent to that of a sixth-ring DND warlock, or a specialized wizard.

In the Undead King's worldview, his spellcasting ability alone would place him at the pinnacle of abnormality, the human limit of level 42. However, if enhanced with items, protection, and racial traits, his strength would reach over level 50, a power worthy of being called mythical.

It's already a considerable level where you can protect yourself as long as you don't land in a strange place. However...

He thought about it and finally took off the mask.

Its strength has dropped significantly as a result, but it is still in the realm of heroes around level 33-35 who can cast fifth-ring spells, and its actual combat power is even higher. This way, it has the means and disguise to advance and retreat freely.

It's almost time.

Wu Chen took a deep breath, and the dream appeared before him.

His friends stayed by his side, waiting for what he was about to say.

"I want to go to Overload - the world of the Undead King!"
