……

I weighed the heavy ring in my hand before saying, "This isn’t a Ghost Armament, but it’s almost as impressive as one. It adds a lot of Attack and Defense and gives the user a chance to transform their target into a useless little zombie. Is there anyone who wants this?"

He Yi shook her head. "No, I’m fine…"

Beiming raised the Xuanming Bow and said, "I’ll take it if no one wants it. I like that Shapeshift ability!"

"Okay!"

It was no super-tier, one-of-a-kind ring, so I gave it to Beiming Xue immediately and continued to check out the rest of the equipment. They weren’t worth mentioning though. Most of them except one mid-level Immortal-grade cape that I gave to Pure Love were stuff you sell at the market. There was a Rank 16 Dragonstone Gem that I rolled to embed into my Guardian Dragon Armor and increase its Defense by another 5%, but that was it.

……

Rustle rustle…

We stepped out of the tomb and into the snowy land once more. We couldn’t see too far because it was snowing everywhere.

"It looks like no one has discovered the Sovereign Rank boss's coordinates yet." I patted away the snow on my shoulder and said, "This particular map is much smaller than Crossroads Valley. When the Sovereign Rank boss is found, I bet that everyone across the map will hear of it in no time. Anyway, let’s move onto the next necropolis. The experience here is good enough that everyone should be Level 240 or higher by the time we’re done clearing out all 99 necropoleis."

"Mn mn!" The girls nodded in unison.

I steered the Ancient Divine Dragon to fly at a low altitude. A short while later, I abruptly descended atop a pack of Level 311 fiend-rank corpse eaters and struck them. Hello, experience bags!

"Roar roar…"

The corpse eaters swayed their ugly heads left and right as they pounced toward me. They dealt between 3,000 to 20,000 damage per hit, which was nowhere enough to threaten me. So, I sat in the middle of dozens of corpse eaters and attacked them. Outside the ring of mobs, He Yi fired Stormwind Break that caused a bunch of corpse eaters to change targets and charge toward her. However, I fired a timely Ancient Seal and pulled them back to me once more.

Suddenly, a couple of dark magi in black robes emerged from the distance while chanting some sort of spells. Then, they waved their scepters and fired black dragons at my Cyan Dragon Shield. I wasn’t expecting to find such deadly mobs within this necropolis at all. What the hell were they?

272,873!

282,767!

253,744!

……

"Damn, it hurts!" I swore. "Sis, don’t let me die. Can someone tell me what is up with those black mages? How are they doing so much damage?"

He Yi had already flown her Snow Crystal Dragon up to the three mages and captured their threats with a Stormwind Slash. At the same time, Beiming Xue narrowed her eyes before reporting, "Big bro, those mobs are actually Level 311 Ancient Immortal Rank minibosses. That’s why they’re doing so much damage to you. Their name is ‘Dark Magus’."

I nodded. "I see 11 Dark Magi approaching our location. I’ll lock one down with the God Binding Art, and Eve will keep three of them busy. Beiming, Little Xin, the two of you will be the damage dealers of this fight. Follow me to catch them in a pincer attack. Let’s mow them down one by one and as quickly as we can, or there’s a real chance we may lose here, which would be very embarrassing. Sis will heal me, and Beauty Guanyue will heal Eve. Now, let’s go!"

The girls nodded and went into action. Beiming Xue stunned one of the mobs with Shock Arrow before executing Evil Spirit Volley + Armor Breaking Arrow at the leftmost Dark Magus. Lian Xin followed up the attack with an Ice Spiral Matrix + Dimensional Storm + Touch of the Dragonkiss combo of her own. As for me, after locking down a Dark Magus with God Binding Art, I immediately fired Ancient Seal and Myriad Swords Obliteration at the miniboss. Then, I stabbed it in the chest and pulled out a bunch of rotten organs and a huge chunk of its HP as I withdrew the blade.

Bang bang bang…historical

I stomped the ground with War Crush, killed the dozen or so corpse eaters around me and restored myself to full HP. Right after that, I pressed my palm against the ground and cast Rise of the Guardian Dragon, sending both the corpse eaters and the dark magi into the air. If nothing else, the damage numbers rising from their bodies were very pleasing to look at.

Unfortunately, the minibosses didn’t go down nearly as quickly as the corpse eaters, and their incessant magic attacks kept me at 25% HP or so. Worse, another 5 Dark Magi chose this moment to spawn nearby. This was going to be dicey.

He Yi glanced at the group of newly spawned minibosses and said, "There are too many minibosses. Should we ask Li Chengfeng’s party to help us? They’re close enough."

I shook my head. "No, Chengfeng’s party is fighting a boss, remember? We’ll do this ourselves!"

While saying this, I cast Cold of the Nine Provinces that froze all the minibosses and allowed us to get a lot of healing and damage done. After the first miniboss finally went down to my Burning Blade Slash, I shouted, "Little Xin, get ready to freeze that group of 7 with Frozen Domain! Don’t get one-shot okay?"

"Don’t worry, big bro!"

Lian Xin hadn’t been a newbie for a very long time. In fact, her game knowledge and control had reached super-tier already. She probably would’ve known what to do even if I hadn’t given her any instructions.

……

It wasn’t easy juggling this many minibosses at once, but the pressure lessened to manageable levels especially after we killed the eighth Dark Magus. Long story short, He Yi, Lian Xin, Beiming Xue and I focused down a miniboss as quickly as we could while Murong Mingyue and Pure Love kept us healthy.

Forty minutes later, we took out all 17 minibosses and countless corpse eaters. When I went to pick up the mages’ loot, I abruptly realized that we were fighting at the intersection point of at least 9 necropoleis. No wonder so many minibosses and corpse eaters had spawned in this one area.

I bent down and picked up a black-colored card dropped by one of the Dark Magi. Then, I flicked it into Lian Xin’s hands with a smile. "Use this, Little Xin. It’s great for DPSing…"

Lian Xin shot it a glance and felt her girlish heart quicken. "Uh, great doesn’t even begin to describe this, big bro."

Dark Magus Card: Increases user’s Magic Attack by 150%, and reduces spell casting time by 45%. Level Requirement: 230. Luck Requirement: 20. Duration: 180 minutes.

Beiming Xue picked up the rest of the cards from the ground before saying, "There are 11 Dark Magus Cards in total. Sister Xin should be able to use them continuously!"

I nodded. "Yes, we’re at the ruins that kickstarted this entire event. Unless the devs are hiding more surprises from us, I suspect that we’re close to the endgame of this March of Chaos event. Rather than saving them for another day, you should use them now as earn as much contribution points as possible."

Swhoosh!

Lian Xin obeyed my advice and buffed herself with a Dark Magus Card immediately.

……

We continued forward and took out another 3 necropoleis. The girls earned a juicy amount of experience, and I absorbed an equally juicy amount of undead soul sparks. Four hours had passed since we logged into the game, and the interface indicated that there were less than 14 necropoleis left on the map. The rumored Sovereign Rank boss still hadn’t shown up though. I bet a lot of people were growing impatient and wondering if the rumor was fake after all.

Beep!

It was at this moment I received a message from Stranger of Three Lifetimes. "Lu Chen, where are you?"

"We’re at the center of the 99 necropoleis. What’s wrong, Momo?"

"The Sovereign Rank boss has appeared!"

"Where is it?"

"It just spawned at coordinates (33327, 21727). Pop Culture is grinding there, and Lone Moonshade has engaged the boss with less than 100 players. We’re waiting for them to die because there’s no chance they’re going to hold out for long. Come as soon as you can. The situation will spiral out of our hands if we cannot kill this boss before the other guilds show up. You are aware that Sovereign Rank bosses have a high chance of dropping Ghost Armaments. It would not do if a foreigner were to get their hands on one."

"Understood. We’re coming over right now!"

……

I summoned the Ancient Divine Dragon and pulled Pure Love up with me. Then, I said seriously, "Girls, get on your mounts and prepare to take off to coordinates (33327, 21727). The rumored Sovereign Rank boss has appeared, and we need to kill it before the other guilds show up. Stranger of Three Lifetimes and Eyes Like Water are watching the boss right now, but they won’t be able to do much by themselves!"

While saying this, I messaged Li Chengfeng, Gui Guzi, Lin Yixin and Chaos Moon and asked them to show up at the coordinates as well. Of course, I didn’t ask them to bring their entire party with them. It was just a boss contest. An army of millions might not necessarily do better than a party of elites.

Snowflakes as big as goose feathers smashed incessantly against my head. I should be feeling cold from a snowstorm this bad, but the news of the Sovereign Rank boss lit a bonfire in my heart. A Sovereign Rank boss had a chance to drop a Ghost Armament. No way I was going to let it slip through my grasp.

Six out of the Twelve Divine Armaments had already been unearthed, so many people had accepted the reality that they would never get one. However, there were a lot more Ghost Armaments than there were Twelve Divine Armaments, and one only needed to look at the Heaven Suppressing Necklace, Crimson Dragon Arm, Soul Shocker Bell and more to know just how good they could be. That was why Warsky, Wang Dongliang, Candlelight Shadow and more all believed that Ghost Armaments were the key to supremacy. The contest for Ghost Armaments might very well be fiercer than even the contest for Divine Armaments!

……

Swhoosh!

The Ancient Divine Dragon passed through a thick cloud of snow and stopped just above a small mountain ridge. On the ground, a massive figure that was clearly the Sovereign Rank boss was roaring and doing battle against a dozen or so Pop Culture players. It didn’t take a keen eye to see that Pop Culture was about to be wiped.
