Chapter 293 Ultimate Defense
William did not know what Lancelot was thinking.
To other people, the Life Potion was something extremely precious, as it could revive a fatally wounded person.
But to William, it was worthwhile to use some Life Potion in exchange for a legendary shield ring.
Especially more so when he knew the location of the World Tree sapling. He could still make do with fewer Life Potions.
Havto never used any items for his battles. Even though he had a lot of battle loot, he would give them as rewards to well-performing servants of Light or would store them in his treasure vault.
The ring was not a battle loot. He had received it as a reward from the Temple of Light due to his excellent performance. He had never used the ring before.
Time passed.
The gazes of the Temple Knights changed after William had survived for 10 minutes.
Even though he was full of injuries, was profusely bleeding, and his armor had almost become scrap metal, he had managed to survive the duel.
It was not a single-sided duel. William managed to retaliate in the fight.
Unfortunately, William did not persist for 30 minutes, so he was unable to obtain the random reward.
But he had still won.
(Prompt: You have completed Havto’s challenge) [Prompt: You persisted for 11 minutes and 23 seconds)
[Prompt: You obtained the Ring of Sacred Shield of Light]
[Prompt: You obtained 300,000 experience points)
After William claimed victory, he sat down on the ground and heavily panted. He glanced at Havto, whose fist was hanging in the air. He did not complete his punch.
If he had done it, William would have been forced to use the Life Potion again. But after William persisted for 10 minutes, the brute Havto did not pull his punches. Each punch was as heavy as the mountains.
Havto’s defenses were as tough as the tortoise’s shell, and his recovery rate was like a runaway rabbit.
Fortunately, William had applied several drops of Life Potion on his body. Otherwise, he would have been beaten to death.
Havto reluctantly plucked out his ring and threw it to William. He said, “You’re not a man for persisting jus 10 minutes. Endure for 30 minutes if you have the guts.”
“What is the big deal about 30 minutes? A critical hit of an assassin only requires 1 second.”
“No, a real man must persist for 30 minutes!”
“Apologies, I’m only a kid...” William shrugged his shoulders. He was still underage.
He promised himself that when he reached adulthood, he would teach Havto a memorable lesson.
Havto was speechless as he realized that William was indeed only an 18-year old Half-Elf. But Havto had a great time in the duel punching William, so he extended his hand to help William up.
“No matter what, you’ve done well. Thunder element is also a branch of the Light element. Are you interested in joining the Temple of Light?”
“???” William’s eyes widened in surprise. He had never seen such a thick-skinned brute. How dare he say that the Thunder element was a branch of the Light element?
Moreover, Havto’s recruitment effort had gone too far.
William was a city lord, after all...
Lancelot was also embarrassed. He walked to Havto and whispered into his ears. The brute looked strangely at William. “So it’s you, the Lord of the City of Dawn. Well, you can be a Temple Knight too, and the City of Dawn can become a branch of the Temple of Light.”
William was left speechless. He had met his match in the shameless arena.
When Havto was about to continue speaking, the magic transmission scroll in his chest vibrated. He frowned and bade farewell to William before leaving.
Within tens of seconds, Havto returned. He ignored William and Lancelot and left with 10 legions of Temple Knights. Something must have cropped up.
Lancelot was also surprised. What kind of a situation would warrant the deployment of 10 legions of Temple Knights?
And the leadership of a Realm Warrior?
That was right.
After Professionals who were cultivating their battle energy had attained the Epic level, they were called Realm Warrior, Realm Ranger, or Realm Assassin.
Hence, the difference between Grandmaster and Epic was like the difference between Jedi and Realm. It was a world of difference.
If Havto had wanted to kill William, even with the combined strength of 10,000 Williams, there was no chance of survival.
Both Lancelot and William were curious about Havto’s mission.
But Lancelot was only a Temple Messenger of the southeastern region. He did not have any connections within the headquarters, so he was unable to obtain any information.
William gave the excuse that he was tired and returned to his room to rest...
But he did not return to his room at the side palace.
He walked to a deserted garden and used his Soul Perception to probe the surroundings. Then his hand slipped into a prominent flower vase.
He found something hard in the vase!
But he did not put it into his space ring.
He tightly grasped it in his hands as he scrutinized the box. Then he exhibited the box in front of a Temple Knight while asking for directions to his room.
One hour later.
Nobody looked for William. It indicated that there was no tracking magic placed on the small box. There was only a magic shield placed on the box.
The item in the small box was what he was looking for on this trip.
In his previous life, It had been accidentally discovered by a player of the Temple of Light.
There were many pieces of equipment in the Gods’ game. It was not necessary to obtain all of them via killing creatures or players.
For example, relics and equipment could be found by players at ancient battlefields.
The box in the flower vase had been discovered by a bored ransacking player.
It was like searching for treasure chests in a game. It brought a lot of fun to the players.
However, legendary treasure chests were very rare...
“No matter what, I have hugely profited. Even though I used up some Life Potion, I got the Ring of Sacred Shield of Light. It is a legendary ring without any level restriction, after all. The effect of the ring is superior to the Sword of Hegni.
“One of the effects was Ultimate Defense. That’s the reason why I sacrificed many drops of Life Potion to persist for ten minutes.”
William sinisterly laughed. In William’s previous life, this ring helped a player to become one of the top ten legendary shield-bearers among the Chinese players.
William did not open the box.
He decided to check out the attributes of the ring to make sure it was a real deal.
