With a dark expression, Yu Xian stowed the gun into his backpack.
Then he looked at the gem. After checking its attributes, he thought to himself once again that the opponents Bolaiye and the Chaos Evil Beast had faced were truly no pushovers.
[Summoned Beast Enhancement Stone]
[Effect: Upon use, enhances a designated summoned beast, allowing it to undergo a complete rebirth and become an even more powerful summoned beast.]
[Note: Summoned beasts can shatter too, you know.]
Without a doubt, this was good stuff.
Yu Xian immediately thought of Mengmeng Fortune Cat.
However, Mengmeng Fortune Cat was already more than useful enough as it was. Besides, there was no telling what would happen after an enhancement.
If Mengmeng Fortune Cat turned into some sort of Mighty Roaring Lion, its strength would indeed increase and its skills would deal more damage, but if its fortune-attracting effect was lost, wouldn't that be a massive loss?
Yu Xian pondered for a moment, then shifted his gaze toward Xielina.
Mainly, a summoned beast enhancement stone was definitely top-tier and a rare commodity.
Although Yu Xian had obtained quite a few enhancement stones recently, the battle at the Class Hunter Society base had been against bosses, and whatever Bolaiye and the others had just fought was certainly no ordinary monster either.
Such luck didn't come by often.
During his months of leveling up before this, aside from getting a few shards from fighting enhanced beasts a handful of times, he hadn't seen a single whole enhancement stone.
Therefore, good things had to be used on crucial targets. With Mengmeng Fortune Cat, Yu Xian was afraid of ruining it and didn't dare enhance it. Wolf King Bolaiye was already a boss template, and the Chaos Evil Beast was already absurdly overpowered.
Only Xielina remained. Although her skills were overpowered, she was still fundamentally just a Skeleton Archer; at least the attributes gained from her leveling up weren't excessively broken.
After weighing his options, Yu Xian decided to use the Summoned Beast Enhancement Stone on Xielina.
He estimated that summoned beasts were probably the same—safe up until +5 enhancement. Thus, holding the Summoned Beast Enhancement Stone, he used it without hesitation.
In an instant, the Summoned Beast Enhancement Stone transformed into a ball of light and flew toward Xielina. As it merged into her body, Xielina's bones immediately radiated a dazzling white light.
*Dun-dun-dun, Xielinamon digivolves...*
All right.
The above was just Yu Xian adding internal sound effects for Xielina.
In reality, within the brilliance, Xielina's appearance underwent an earth-shattering transformation. Originally just a skeleton, flesh and blood rapidly grew over her frame. At the same time, her tattered clothes swiftly became whole, turning into a set of armor.
When the light dispersed, Yu Xian was dumbfounded. A golden-haired young woman stood before him, looking at him with a solemn expression.
He hurriedly checked Xielina's attributes. After reading them, he couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.
[Queen Xielina]
[Level: 42]
[Skills:]
[Holy Light Gale Arrow: Condenses holy light and gale-force wind into a supersonic arrow to pierce through targets.]
[King's Summon: Targets slain by Xielina have an extremely high probability of turning into heroic spirits or undead to fight for her.]
[I Believe in Light and Hope: The trigger rate of all Xielina's skills is increased by 50%. When enemy targets enter within 500 meters of Xielina, they continuously suffer erosion from the power of light, losing 5% HP per second while having their movement slowed; the closer they are to Xielina, the more severe the slowdown.]
[O My Knights: When Xielina draws the State-Guarding Ward Sword, twelve knights are summoned forth to fight for her.]
[Thunderous Bowstring Bow: While Xielina wields the Guardian Divine Bow, every arrow fired triggers heavenly thunder to strike the target.]
[State-Guarding Ward Sword: While Xielina is equipped with the State-Guarding Ward Sword, all her attributes are doubled, and a wind shield automatically forms around her to repel ranged attacks.]
[Exclusive Ultimate Technique:]
[Super Collapse Nation-Destroying Cannon: Uses the State-Guarding Ward Sword as an arrow, condensing an excessive amount of light and wind elements to fire a light cannon powerful enough to destroy a country, crushing all obstacles ahead.]
[Note: Queen of Wind and Light, Xielina joins the battle.]
*Holy crap.*
Apart from "holy crap," Yu Xian didn't know what else to say for the moment.
These attributes were absurdly broken—easily ten to twenty times stronger than the previous skeleton version of Xielina. The two were simply beyond comparison.
Previously, only the bow in Xielina's hands was a divine artifact. Now, in addition to the bow in her hand, she had a golden sword hanging at her waist.
Dual divine artifacts!
Yu Xian felt that Wolf King Bolaiye might not even last two minutes against Xielina, mainly because her ultimate technique was just too outrageous.
Could this really destroy a nation?
Yu Xian stroked his chin, his curiosity truly itching.
He pursed his lips and hesitated for a second—no, probably less than a second—before an idea formed. Jiangli City lay ahead, so testing it there was definitely out of the question. Behind him was the direction of Fukang City, which was also a no-go.
Then to the left or right, perhaps he could give it a try.
"Xielina, face your rear and use the Super Collapse Nation-Destroying Cannon!" Yu Xian made up his mind and immediately commanded her.
Xielina turned around at once and drew the State-Guarding Ward Sword from her waist. Twelve tall, burly knights clad in heavy armor instantly materialized around her, providing escort and protection.
At the same time, one of the knights knelt before Xielina. Stepping onto the knight's back with one foot, Xielina used the leverage to leap atop the knight's back.
Once standing high enough, Xielina slowly drew her bow, nocked the State-Guarding Ward Sword onto it, and aimed into the distance.
The attack speed was somewhat slow; the preparation process alone took nearly ten seconds. Yu Xian thought to himself that it was no wonder she needed twelve knights for protection; otherwise, before this arrow could even be loosed, Xielina's skill would likely be interrupted by enemy attacks.
The next second, golden light erupted from Xielina's body as green winds swirled around her. The golden radiance gradually converged onto the bow, followed by the emerald winds wrapping around the State-Guarding Ward Sword.
*Super Collapse Nation-Destroying Cannon!*
Xielina gently released the bowstring. Instantly, the State-Guarding Ward Sword was launched, transforming into a beam of light over thirty meters in diameter that punched straight through all matter in its path.
When tall trees stood in the way below, the entire trees vanished in an instant. When monsters blocked the path ahead, they were likewise wiped out in the glare. There were even Class users leveling up who were erased before they could even react.
*Rumble—!*
Wherever the golden light passed, howling gales followed in its wake, sending sand and stones flying in a deeply awe-inspiring spectacle.
The golden beam extended all the way until it struck a distant mountain peak, detonating with an earth-shattering roar. Amidst tremors that shook the heavens and earth, the entire mountain was reduced to ash and dust beneath the massive pillar of light.
One arrow.
No, it should be called a single cannon shot.
Everything within a range of at least ten thousand meters ahead was obliterated, culminating in the complete detonation of that mountain.
Although this strike was still some distance from truly wiping out an entire nation, from a strategic perspective, it was indeed an attack of nation-destroying caliber.
After all, it wasn't as if Xielina couldn't fire a second shot.
If she fired a blast like that at every city, wouldn't a nation be destroyed in the end?
"Big Brother, I leveled up again!" Little Nora cried out in surprise from atop the crocodile's back.
Yu Xian froze for a moment upon hearing this, then looked toward the mountain that Xielina had erased. Could there have been special monsters in the path of Xielina's attack?
Wouldn't that mean another haul of loot!
