Chapter 395: 394, Trading with Sylvanas_1
“Not good!” Su Yu’s face tightened.
[Sylvanas, the Banshee Queen]is a relatively peculiar being. Besides her shadow-based arrow and body techniques, she excels in controlling the souls of living beings, including players’ souls.
If one’s soul is controlled by her, it isn’t a matter of merely reviving after half an hour, but rather, being imprisoned and manipulated by her for an extended period of time, ranging from several days to three, or even five months, until another player forcibly rescues them or completes a complex task to save them.
Su Yu did not want his soul to be played around with by this demon.
He hurriedly shifted back into his human form, then consecutively used his [Flash Skill]to move as far as possible in the opposite direction to Sylvanas.
Shoosh! Shoosh! Shoosh!
Within 0.1 seconds, Su Yu had instantaneously teleported 500 meters away.
“Heh, little one, where do you think you’re going?” Sylvanas transformed into a ray of black light, chasing after Su Yu.
The black mist that enveloped her body continuously surged, and the agonizing wails of undead beings could be heard within the mists from time to time, sounding especially terrifying.
…
Just as Sylvanas appeared, the high-ranking powerhouses on the side of Goldfinch in the sky simultaneously retreated backwards.
They did not come to Su Yu’s aid.
What a joke, originally, this battle only involved 3 sanctuaries and 8 fifth-rank warriors from each side, and not even a single seventh-rank legend was present. Who would have guessed that Sylvanas, a presence capable of upsetting the balance, would suddenly turn up!
So nobody dared to continue fighting, and everyone backed off instead.
However, they were still very grateful towards Su Yu in their hearts. After all, Su Yu had attracted all of Sylvanas’ attention, ensuring their safety.
Sylvanas, however, didn’t bother with the high-ranking Goldfinch warriors in the sky but instead focused solely on chasing Su Yu.
Su Yu had caused a significant stir throughout the world when he detonated himself and killed Grantex last time. If they don’t handle him, all the nobles, who are his enemies, beneath the legendary rank in the entire world would have trouble sleeping!
But Su Yu is an adventurer from another world, who is virtually immortal in their world, only they, the few experts who are adept at manipulating souls, have the means to confine him for an extended period.
So, when she encountered Su Yu, who was alone today, she immediately placed “capturing Su Yu” as her top priority.
Whoosh!
Sylvanas raised her bow and arrow, launching another ray of black radiance in Su Yu’s direction. This was her signature move, the [Black Corrosion Arrow].
The [Black Corrosion Arrow]not only boasts tremendous power, adds more than ten abnormal statuses, but can also automatically detect an enemy’s location within a small range. Furthermore, she predicted where Su Yu would land using his [Flash Skill], aiming to achieve 100% accuracy.
However, Su Yu didn’t stop or attempt to dodge.
“[Frost Shield]!”
A magical shield glowing with blue ice crystals formed around him in an instant.
Clang!
The [Black Corrosion Arrow]struck the [Frost Shield], which released a dazzling blue light, taking the hit and leaving the shield itself unscathed.
The [Frost Shield] could easily withstand the attack of the [Black Corrosion Arrow]because of a very powerful property of the skill -[Physical Barrier].
([Physical Barrier]: It nullifies the first instance of physical damage you receive. Note: the nullified damage cannot exceed ten times the maximum value of the shield.)
While Sylvanas’s [Black Corrosion Arrow] was powerful, it could not exceed the Frost Shield by ten times, thus it was easily intercepted.
Moreover, using the propulsion of the arrow, Su Yu was able to Flash forward dozens of meters ahead.
Watching Su Yu move farther away from her, Sylvanas remained unflustered.
The average flying speed of a legendary powerhouse was roughly six times that of a Sanctuary. As long as Su Yu ran out of mana to continue flashing forward, he would eventually become her prey!
Moreover, Sylvanas’s range was more than 800 meters.
She raised her bow to aim at Su Yu, and fired arrows like a downpour, locking Su Yu firmly in his escape route.
Sylvanas’s archery was extremely accurate, Su Yu barely avoided the arrows a few times, only saving his life by deploying the Ice Barrier and [Zhongya Hourglass]. But these life-saving measures slowed him down.
…
After several minutes of pursuit, Su Yu and the Banshee Queen arrived at a deserted mountainous area about a dozen kilometers west of Haiyan City.
Now, the distance between them was slightly over 500 meters. However, due to frequently releasing the Flash Skill, Su Yu’s mana had dropped to the 30% warning line.
Left with no choice, he had to stop on a mountaintop. Sitting on an exposed rock, he gasped for breath.
“So, you’re not running anymore?” Sylvanas looked at Su Yu mockingly, slowing down in the sky, and gradually closing in.
“I can’t run anymore,” Su Yu wiped his sweat, observing Sylvanas.
In fact, Su Yu wasn’t too worried, as he had a last resort that he hadn’t yet used, the [Hidden Dagger] relic.
[Hidden Dagger] could summon the legendary powerhouse Cecilia Nightblade for 2 minutes. This time was enough for him to escape.
Yet, Su Yu didn’t want to use this relic lightly as it could only be used once before it was damaged. He wasn’t willing to use it.
Looking at the slowly approaching Sylvanas, Su Yu asked calmly, “Why are you chasing me? I don’t have any Elixir.”
“What ‘Elixir’?” Sylvanas shook her head, frowning, not understanding what Su Yu was talking about.
However, adventurers from other worlds often make nonsensical remarks which she was used to, so she didn’t make a fuss.
Understanding the truth that ‘villains die of too much talk’, Sylvanas transformed the black mist in her hands into four “Dark Mana Floating Dragons” targeting Su Yu’s head once she flew within 20 meters of him.
Yet Su Yu seemed indifferent, and replied casually, “By ‘Elixir’, I meant a large number of living souls. Are you interested?”
“Oh?” When she heard this, the four “Dark Mana Floating Dragons” froze in mid-air, no longer approaching Su Yu’s head.
“You know what I need?” Sylvanas’s crimson eyes stared closely at him. A subtle aura of authority spread through the air, making his breath catch in his throat.
“Of course, we can make a trade. You will have access to numerous living souls, ten times the amount you would gain from attacking the Goldfinch Empire, I guarantee.” Su Yu confidently grinned.
Hearing the word “tenfold,” Sylvanas began to hesitate.
There were no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. Since Su Yu could bring her benefits, then…
She withdrew the four “Dark Mana Floating Dragons”, and fired four arrows into the sky.
The four arrows dispersed in the sky like a scattering celestial maiden, transforming into four dark purple chains. Forming a pyramid around them, they completely locked down the surrounding space, ensuring Su Yu’s escape was no longer possible.
“Alright, what kind of trade are you proposing? You can speak now.” Queen Xi put her bow and arrow back on her back, folded her arms, and slowly walked towards Su Yu.
