Zhan Yue

This person was a little weird.

I frowned and stopped, “What do you mean? You are not a dimension legion evil spirit?”

“Dimension Legion… Evil spirit…”

His eyes were filled with melancholy and he held the broken blade, “No… I have never betrayed the True Red Army. I have always protected my loyalty… The Saint General Daken will never betray the True Red Army and never betray humans, it was… It was them who abandoned the deputy team leader, nothing to do with me. I even thought about heading back to find her… I…”

He was being controlled.

Above his head was a purple mist that covered his head. It should be from the purple tree. I raised my palm, “Wooden… Wood…”

I couldn’t say anything at all and my brain became heavy. I felt like my body was sinking down. Ahead of me many people appeared, Han Yixiao, Lin Xi, Shen Mingxuan, Ruyi. There was also Ah Fei and sister--- All the people I cherished appeared and my mind started to go messy.

This tree could mess up one’s mind?

I activated my skill and said loudly, “Prison Dragon Break!”

Source White Dragon’s figure moved and broke through the chains. Even the tree’s mind control wasn’t effective on me.

“Wooden dummy!”

This time the skill was used. Along with rustling sounds, wooden soldiers rose up around the tree. 20 of them surrounded the demon tree and slashed. One could see the tree’s health bar drop. It had less than 500 thousand health and was really weak. It was just relying on messing up one’s mind.

“Jerk!”

The instance that I attacked the tree, it roared, “I have cultivated for ten thousand years and am about to control this fool and obtain a human body. You actually dare to spoil my happiness. Wait and see, even if you succeed, you will pay the price!”

It roared fiercely, “Seven Saint General Daken! Listen to me, kill this person. That is your final mission, kill him!”

Daken’s eyes were filled with violence and desire to kill, “Little thing, you are asking for death!”

He slashed towards my back.

“Peng!”

With Dark Shadow Jump, I jumped behind the demon tree and used this immunity time to deal all my damage to it. Along with Wooden Dummy’s damage, the tree cried out and purple liquid splattered. Shortly after, the entire tree turned into pieces of wood under the glow of Flames of Karma.

All that was left was Daken.

His skills were similar to Demon Flute but his health was only 10% of his so he wouldn’t be too hard to kill. I used Bloodthirst Banner and just fought him like that. With the experience from the previous time, Daken’s attacks were predicted. I dodged many of his attacks and his 60 million health dropped really quickly!

……

“Peng---”

Annihilation crit and Daken finally knelt onto the ground, his final life force disappeared. I predicted it. Killing him didn’t give him much experience or points, he didn’t even drop much gold. He wasn’t a normal boss, he just looked like a transitionary boss. ŗА₦𝖔ʙÈs

When he fell, he knelt on the ground and his body shook. His eyes were finally filled with clarity and he muttered, “Kid, this… How many years later is this?”

He said honestly.

“Roughly… Ten thousand years.” I knelt down on one knee, “Daken, do you have anything else you want to say?”

“I… I…”

Tears welled up, “I was actually trapped by this tree for ten thousand years, I… Actually used the last bit of my life to fight someone from the light faction, I…”

“Stop talking.”

I looked at him and said, “Do you have any final wishes?”

“Yes…”

He took off his mantle, “This… This has my life mark, if you wear it… You can transform into me. I want you to find… To find Soora and let her enter a dream…”

“Enter a dream?”

I was confused.

“Yes.”

Daken bit his teeth, “She wasn’t the Fire Demon Witch from the start, our True Red Army failed her. Kid, wear this… This…”

He took out a chain with a golden ring on it, “Use this… Make her enter a dream. I learned hypnosis before, Soora loves to see me do this and fake like she is dreaming, but shse doesn’t know… Each time she really ended up in a dream, you… You must make her enter the dream and recall the past. Let her see everything she didn’t see, please kid…”

“I will!”

I said solemnly. For some reason, I actually firmly believed in Daken’s words. Maybe his gaze was too honest such that I had never seen such a sad gaze before.

“Please kid…”

He grabbed my wrist and said, “You will be the savior, you will be the key to everything…”

He slowly rested his head on my shoulder and stopped breathing. Ten thousand years, a strong expert died just like that. When his lifeforce disappeared, his body collapsed into dust. Ten thousand years was enough to wipe out anything, much less the body of a human?

But his cape and ring was still left. At that moment, a bell rang. Finally, I got another Starlight Level quest. Too rare!

“Ding!”@@novelbin@@

System Notification: You accepted main quest Queen’s Dream (Starlight Quest)!

Quest content: Wear Daken’s cape and turn into him to head into Fire Demon Witch’s palace. After meeting her, use the ring to send her into a dream and let her see everything that is happening. At the same time ensure that you don’t die, after which, you will obtain huge rewards!

……

“Shua!”

I wore the red cape, after which my body started to change. The horns that signified the Shura was gone and what replaced it was a majestic amror. My body got much bigger and it was similar to the muscular Daken. I was 2 meters tall and looked really powerful.

At the same time, his broken blade appeared in my hand. When I used a slight bit of strength, saint power surged into it and formed a proper blade. The interface also had a horse. When I clicked it, a war horse covered in a mist appeared in front of me. When I got onto it, it was as fast as lightning.

“Nice…”

I sucked in a deep breath and smiled, “This is the feeling of saint realm?”

But in truth all this was fake. I was still me just that I looked like Daken. This quest was quite dangerous and I had to head to her palace to lie to her. But as this was a Starlight quest, it was my only chance to come into contact with those events. Even if it was risky I had to try!

“Head out!”

I pulled the reins and led the war horse out. Both of us turned into an energy current that shot through the forest. With such a speed it would take less than an hour to get to the palace. Normally, my Shura Assassin would at least take two hours to cover this distance!

Not long later, may Flames Army soldiers appeared in front of me. They were patrolling. Some were new monsters. After they saw me they weren’t shocked as Daken was someone from their region. The death energy made them think that I was one of them.

There were many strong experts in the Dimension Legion and all sorts of weird experts were born from hell so these monsters weren’t surprised.

In the end, I entered the core region in just 50 minutes. On the map, the entire Flame Plains was red like it was a burning continent. The south was connected to Dragon Region and the human territory, the east to Pioneer Forest and a portion ot Blood Dynasty. It was slightly north. If Pioneer Forest was the vanguard to attack the humans, then they were the middle army. They were strong and there were even rumors that one Flames Army could take down 2-3 Pioneer Forests. Who knew how Pioneer could even accept that.

……

“Thud thud thud---”

I finally came to a place that I had been before. In the forest, Fire Demon Witch Soora’s palace was in the distance and it was tightly guarded. Many troops stood tall and looked at me aggressively. I didn’t dare to do much and just carefully rode the horse forwards until I was at the entrance. A bunch of Legacy Grade Bosses were looking at me and one of them frowned, “Who are you, why are you here?’

“Please tell Her Highness that Daken is here.” My voice was also Daken’s voice and it was perfect. This cape was a treasure and if I could continue to use it, there might be other uses in the future.

“Please wait, I will go inform her.”

“Thank you.”

Not long later, a Flames Heaven Cavalry descended and his eyes were filled with pride, “You are Sir Daken?”

“Yes.”

“Follow me, her highness is willing to see you.”

“Thank you!”
