[Ding! In the recent mission, "Lone Wolf" performed exceptionally well, successfully ensuring the survival of the entire Orochi crew. His outstanding overall performance has earned him an SSS-level rating!]
[Congratulations to "Lone Wolf" for successfully completing the "Rescue Orochi" mission.]
[Congratulations to "Lone Wolf"! You have gained 100,000 experience points, 50,000 gold coins, 3,000 reputation points, and the Sakura Kingdom's national treasure—the Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi.]
[Ding! The guardian beast of the Sakura Kingdom—Yamata no Orochi—has appeared. A regional announcement will be played shortly!]
[Sakura Ward Announcement: Breaking News!]
[Ding! With the powerful assistance of the Chinese warrior "Lone Wolf," the guardian beast "Yamata no Orochi" has successfully broken free of its restraints and reappeared on the land of the Sakura Kingdom!]
[The Lone Wolf, the pride of China, gloriously obtains the supreme national treasure of Japan—the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi!]
[The Lone Wolf has decided to postpone returning the national treasure to the Kingdom of Sakura.]
Without the protection of the national guardian artifact, the mutation rate of zombies in Sakura has increased by 10%, the attack and defense of all humans have decreased by 10%, and the critical hit rate has decreased by 10%!
Only by regaining the Kusanagi Sword can the negative effects be removed and the glory of the Sakura Kingdom restored!
...
The experience gained from killing the Shadow General, plus the experience gained from completing the mission.
This raised Su Yue and Mu Gui's levels to 34.
Although the journey through this dungeon is long and challenging, with no fewer than a hundred bosses of varying sizes encountered.
However, during this adventure, Su Yue gained nothing more than the eight skill scrolls he obtained through deception.
In reality, this low drop rate is the norm for ordinary people in the apocalypse.
However, Su Yue's real goal was not these random spoils of war, but the national treasure reward from the mission.
The "Yata Mirror" he had previously obtained had already demonstrated its extraordinary power.
Even without any attribute bonuses, Su Yue was willing to go all out as long as it could weaken the strength of the Sakura Kingdom.
Therefore, he turned his attention to the only reward of this dungeon—the legendary Kusanagi sword.
【Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi】: A sacred weapon protecting the nation of Sakura, a special type of equipment that does not occupy an equipment slot. It cannot be enhanced or traded, but can be enshrined as a symbol of faith within the national shrine.
If the holder meets with misfortune or the country faces destruction, the protective artifact will inevitably fall.
The Kusanagi Sword, also known as the Ame-no-Murakumo Sword, is one of the three most revered national treasures in the legends of the Land of Sakura.
Legend has it that this divine sword miraculously emerged from the tail of a ferocious beast when Susanoo slew it, and is therefore regarded as a symbol of power and majesty.
Carried attributes: Strength +10, Spirit +10, Constitution +10, Agility +10, Critical Hit Rate +50%.
Offering attribute: Reduces the attack and defense of all zombies within the border area by 10%, and increases the critical hit rate of all humans by 10%.
Skill: [Iaijutsu Slash]: This skill draws upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to condense a phantom of the "Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi" in mid-air, which then descends from the sky, dealing immeasurable damage to enemies. Cooldown: 7 days. This skill is ineffective against zombie-type creatures.
[Murakumo Sword Formation]: When this skill is used, a massive sword formation is summoned, randomly dealing devastating damage to enemies trapped within it. Duration is 1 hour, cooldown is 24 hours.
As expected, the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, hailed as the foremost of the three great national treasures of Japan, truly lived up to its reputation.
Its two skills are both powerful attacks with wide-ranging destructive power, making it perfect for defending cities.
After successfully acquiring this national treasure of the Sakura Kingdom, Su Yue's next move naturally turned to the Yamata no Orochi.
Just then, the long-awaited sunlight shone down, its warm rays gently enveloping Su Yue.
He was then shocked to realize that he and the Yamata no Orochi had returned to the ground.
The ground beneath their feet had undergone an astonishing transformation, rising abruptly from the original nuclear power plant.
It rose more than ten feet above the ground, a magnificent sight that left people in awe.
After regaining its freedom, the Yamata no Orochi finally revealed its full form to Su Yue.
It has eight heads and eight tails, and its body is enormous, filling most of the entire platform.
Its eyes, like those of a red lantern fruit, gleamed and inspired awe.
Covered in moss, cypress, and cedar, as if a gift from nature, it appears even more mysterious and majestic.
Its belly was covered in bloodstains, looking like it was rotting, which was a shocking sight.
Just as the Yamata no Orochi made its earth-shattering appearance, news broke that the guardian beast of the nation had reappeared in the world.
Like a whirlwind sweeping across the land of cherry blossoms, it aroused boundless cheers and excitement among the people.
However, this wave of joy has not yet subsided.
When news came that the Chinese warrior "Lone Wolf" had successfully rescued the Yamata no Orochi.
The entire country of cherry blossoms was plunged into a vortex of shock and unease.
They found it hard to accept that their nation's guardian beast had to rely on the power of foreign Chinese to escape its predicament.
But just as everyone was discussing and their emotions were running high.
Su Yue's coordinates mysteriously reappeared, and news of his imminent return to Japan quickly spread to every corner of Nuclear Island Prefecture...
