[Congratulations! You are the first survivor in the server to kill a Commander-level creature. You will receive the first kill reward: 1 Frozen Miles skill book (orange)]]

…

After hearing three consecutive system prompts, Cao Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

Especially the last first kill reward, which made him excited!

This time the reward was actually an orange quality, epic skill book, its properties must be terrifying!

As for the tip about the Church of Light's favorability turning into hatred, he simply ignored it.

Anyway, he and this organization have long been enemies.

He suppressed his excitement and looked at the people on the field.

now.

Assam, Andrew, and other fighters stood there with excited looks on their faces.

This battle can be said to be full of twists and turns.

From the witch's terrifying display of power to the tough battle that lasted more than ten minutes.

Then the opponent uses [Forbidden Dark Zone] to force everyone's skills to cool down.

It can be said that everyone has revealed all their cards.

Then, the variable of the Red Robe Bishop appeared, forcing Cao Xing to use his strongest trump card.

But fortunately, they won in the end.

Everyone was unscathed and won the battle!

As for the Lord of Black Mist, the summoning time has also ended.

He glanced at Blot, then set his eyes on Cao Xing and Duke Palatine.

Nod slightly.

Then it turned into a cloud of smoke and disappeared on the spot.

On the field, only Cao Xing and his group, as well as Duke Palatine's undead army, were left.

Cao Xing came over at this time and said, "Your Excellency the Duke, thank you for your help again."

Duke Palatine smiled and waved his hands, saying, "It's just a simple gesture."

"Lord Cao Xing is just as I said. He is not an ordinary person and always gets into trouble."

"This time, I actually managed to provoke a trace of divinity from a god!"

After hearing this, Cao Xing shook his head helplessly.

Even if you are prepared before entering the castle, the enemies you encounter inside may be very powerful.

But I didn't expect it.

There was actually a plan of a god behind this.

No, to be exact, there are two.

One is the God of Light.

The other is Dhuum, the god of nightmares.

Cao Xing disrupted the plans of the two gods this time, so it can be said that it was a good thing that he was not exposed.

Once exposed, he's really finished!

Cao Xing also smiled bitterly, "I don't want to, but I always run into these guys."

"This is a ties that have been established between us and these two gods."

But Duke Palatine comforted him, "Don't worry, Lord Cao Xing."

"I just heard from the nightmare god that they are trapped in the underworld."

"According to myths and legends, the Land of the Underworld is used to imprison gods who have made mistakes and lost their divinity."

"In other words, it is a prison for the gods."

"So, it's not that easy for them to get out."

Cao Xing instantly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

He was targeted by two gods at once, even though they were gods who had already lost their divinity.

He certainly can't handle it.

After Cao Xing relaxed, he also saw Paladin's attribute panel.

This time, it’s finally not just a bunch of question marks.

Just as Cao Xing expected, the opponent was a level 50 commander.

And because of the support of thousands of undead armies, his attributes have skyrocketed, comparable to a dark witch.

Cao Xing then said, "Mr. Paladin, why do I feel like you are stronger than last time?"

The other party chuckled and said, "Yes, thanks to Lord Cao Xing, he helped us resolve the danger in the underground palace."

"Now, the underground palace has brought back more Ascalonian undead."

"As a duke, I have some authority over the Kingdom of Ascalon. The more soldiers I have around me, the stronger I am."

"I think I'll be able to reach level 6 after a while."

Hearing this, Cao Xing's eyes suddenly lit up.

His [Book of the Dead of Ascalon] has one more chance to be used.

And the stronger the Duke of Palatine is, the greater the help he will get.

"That's great!"

"Congratulations, Your Excellency the Duke!"

The Duke of Palatine smiled.

At this time, Cao Xing looked at the summoning time and there were only 10 seconds left.

He took out a crystal ball from his backpack and asked, "Your Excellency, this crystal ball can create a portal."

"Do you think that with the power of this crystal ball, can you directly enter the underground treasure house?"

The Duke observed.

There was a hint of surprise in his eyes: "There is actually such a magical thing..."

"Although I have never been into that underground treasure house, but according to my estimation, it should be possible!"

Hearing this, Cao Xing's eyes suddenly showed surprise!

But the next sentence from the Duke of Palatine made him stunned again.

"Lord Cao Xing, after you went in, did you think about how to get out?"

This question confused Cao Xing.

Yeah! How the hell am I going to get out after I get in?

Do I have to stay in there for seven days and wait for the [Dark Crystal Ball] to cool down?

He seemed to see the confusion on Cao Xing's face.

Duke Palatine chuckled and said, "Lord Cao Xing, the time has come."

"If you are ready, you can come to see me in the Underworld again."

Cao Xing also nodded.

After saying this, Duke Palatine and his undead army disappeared on the spot.

At this moment, Cao Xing and his group were the only ones left in the entire castle, along with two corpses lying on the ground.

One is the red-robed bishop.

The other one is the witch.

Just when Cao Xing was about to pack up the spoils.

But the beautiful witch on the ground trembled slightly.

"Hmm? Still alive?"

Cao Xing quickly led his people to her side.

Look at the attributes.

【Forest Witch: Francesca】

[Race: Half-elf]

[Health value: 1/1018532]

[Status: Nearly dead (all treatment effects reduced by 99%), mental confusion, internal injuries...]

…

It was obvious that the witch had reached her final moments.

As mentioned before.

After the system update, having only 1 drop of health left does not mean you can continue to be full of energy.

The last 1 point of health means that the person is seriously injured and may die at any time.

At this moment, the witch seemed to sense Cao Xing and others.

Her pale lips moved slightly, and then a weak sound came out.

"Thank you……"

"Now... please free me..."

After hearing this, Cao Xing pondered for a moment.

Then he asked, "Do you want to live?"

There was some doubt in the eyes of the witch on the ground.

Before she could speak, Cao Xing spoke again.

"Think carefully before answering."

Hearing this, the witch's beautiful face showed some struggle.

After a moment, she said in a breathless voice: "I want to... live..."

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Cao Xing's lips.

"Okay, then join my territory and become one of my men."

"No matter who you were in the past or what you've been through, once you join my territory, everything starts over again."

"Do you agree?"

After saying that, he sent a recruitment invitation to the witch.

The witch hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded slightly.

[Recruitment successful: Francesca joins your territory, territory population +6]

…

Seeing the system prompt, Cao Xing finally smiled.

In this way, he finally had the first commander-level creature among his subordinates.

Victoria has not been contacted yet, so it doesn't count.

And with the addition of this witch named Francesca, the strength of his territory will skyrocket!

Of course, the premise is that she can be rescued from the brink of death.

The witch was seriously injured, even though she was beaten by Cao Xing and his men, but there was nothing that could be done given the situation at the time.

Such a serious injury is a bit difficult to treat.

First, use purification techniques to remove her negative state.

Then he fed her medicine to treat her internal injuries.

Cao Xing said, "Mu Xue, cast a few purification spells on her first."

Liu Muxue obediently raised her sword and continuously cast [Purification Spell] for the witch.

Then, he took out a few bottles of [Yuncai Cow Milk] from his backpack and used them to treat the witch's internal injuries.

At this moment, the witch felt her head being lifted up in a daze.

Then I found that some kind of liquid was poured into my mouth...

After 5 minutes of treatment.

The witch's condition finally improved a little.

Seeing this scene, Cao Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, we need to start restoring her health.

He looked at Andrew, Isabel, and Liu Muxue beside him.

Then he said, "Now, let's start releasing healing skills to our members."

However, the witch has a 99% suppression status for treatment.

But it had no effect.

Anyway, Cao Xing's [Ice Therapy] and Andrew's [Life Blossom] are both permanent.

The worst that can happen is that it will just take a little more time.

As one healing skill after another fell into her body, she was blessed with the [Eternal Power].

Above the witch's head, repeated numbers +21.+21 appeared...

Compared to her health points of over millions, it is insignificant.

But this is a very good sign for everyone.

Five minutes later.

The witch's health has recovered to more than 20,000.

She has escaped from the [Near Death] state.

The repeating numbers on the head also changed to +211, +211.

"Great, the number of replies has increased significantly!"

Cao Xing was delighted.

As the witch's health continues to recover.

Her complexion gradually improved.

The originally pale lips turned into a dark green color again, looking enchanting and beautiful.

Seeing this, Cao Xing said directly: "Mu Xue, come over and support her, and continue to feed her the secret medicine and milk."

Hearing this, Liu Muxue also squatted down obediently.

He placed the witch's head on his lap and fed her medicine.

Cao Xing himself came to the place where the red-robed bishop died with an excited look on his face.

Because he had already seen a dazzling soul as big as a head burst out from the ground.

There is also a dark yellow axe next to it!

Cao Xing said excitedly: "This is the first commander-level creature I have ever killed. I hope the things that come out of it will not disappoint me!"

With anticipation, he directly put all the spoils into his pocket.

[Obtained: Red Robe Cardinal Eugene's Commander-level Soul (Orange)]

[Obtain: Dusk Axe (Orange)]

[Obtain: Red Robe Bishop Mask (Orange) *1]

[Obtained: Battle Rune (Gold) *1]

[Obtain: Expert-level Heart of Power*1]

[Obtained: Expert-level element crystals*15]

…

“What the hell! What the hell!”

"Three orange items and one gold item, hahaha!"

Cao Xing was pleasantly surprised!

Killing a commander-level creature is very difficult.

But at the same time, the benefits are also terrifying!

He couldn't wait to take a look at the attributes.

[Red Cardinal Eugene's Commander-level Soul (Orange)]

[Effect: Can be used on a level 5 or lower leader-level creature, making it evolve into a commander-level creature with a high probability, with a success rate of 45%~55%)

…

"Okay, okay, I finally got my first Commander-level soul!"

Cao Xing was very excited.

However, he was a little hesitant about who to give this soul to.

After all, there are many leaders under him, and they are all very important.

They all advance in different ways.

Just like Blot, after advancing to the leader, he actually activated a powerful skill that summoned a commander creature.

No one knows whether others will give Cao Xing another surprise when they are promoted to commanders.

And Hilda.

The system prompts that after transforming this blood spider queen into a commander creature, there will be a qualitative change.

After thinking for a moment, Cao Xing finally called Sarah over.

As his top general, Sarah's performance in all aspects is impeccable.

And she should also gain more powerful strength.

Cao Xing directly handed this bright soul into her hands.

Sarah felt the powerful force contained in it, and her pupils shrank immediately!

"My Lord... this..."

Not only Sarah, but everyone else on the field felt the powerful power contained in this soul and turned their eyes to it.

Especially Hilda, there was even a hint of desire in her beautiful smoky eyes.

Cao Xing waved his hands, "Use it, Sarah, I hope you can break through smoothly."

Sarah listened, but there was still some hesitation in her eyes.

But he was met with Cao Xing's determined look.

She seemed to have made up her mind and nodded solemnly.

At this moment, under the envious gazes of the other subordinates.

Sarah directly slapped this powerful commander-level soul into her body!

This time, there was no system prompt for loyalty improvement.

Because she is already a die-hard fan, it means that everything belongs to Cao Xing.

Well...everything in the truest sense...

Next, it depends on whether Sarah's breakthrough is successful.

However, the success rate of commander-level souls seems to be somewhat low.

And Cao Xing was also prepared to fail.

While she's breaking through.

Cao Xing checked the properties of the other two epic items.

【Dusk (Orange)】

【Quality: Epic】

【Weapon type: Battle Axe】

[Equipment Level: Level 40]

【Attack power: 1473~1584】

[Attached special effect ①: Strength +300, Constitution +150, Hit rate -15%]

[Attached special effect ②: Heavy Axe (Increases critical hit rate by 20%, increases critical hit damage by 30%)]

[Additional effect ③: Continuous Kill (If you successfully kill an enemy, increase your strength by 5% in the next 20 seconds, which can be stacked up to 1 time)]

[Attached special effect ④: Dusk (When launching a physical attack, there is a 45% chance of causing (2*strength + 2*weapon attack power) real damage to a single enemy.)]

(Gear Introduction: This is the most satisfying work I have ever made in my life. I named it Dusk, which means that the enemy who sees this weapon will usher in the twilight moment of his own life - Forging Master: Nelson Kingsley)

…

"What a simple and crude weapon!"

Cao Xing sighed deeply.

Each of the above four special effects increases actual combat capabilities.

Especially the third and fourth special effects.

One increases strength, and the other can deal real damage based on its own attributes.

The combination of the two special effects is extremely powerful!

In fact, this is the first time Cao Xing has obtained an epic weapon.

The strong attributes make people excited.

If it weren't for the fact that he is a mage.

Cao Xing even wanted to use this battle axe himself.

"This battle axe should be enough for two centaurs."

"However, their current levels are too low. Once they reach level 40, they will be able to equip this powerful weapon."

Cao Xing thought happily, and then began to check another orange prop, which was the last one.

[Church of Illumination: Red Robe Bishop Mask (Orange)]

[Part: Special Equipment]

[Equipment attributes: All attributes increase by 50 points. ]

(Note: The Red Robe Bishop has great power in the Church of Light. Wearing this mask, he can freely enter and exit some forbidden areas of the Church of Light.)

…

When Cao Xing saw this mask, he suddenly had a different idea in his mind.

"Huh? This mask actually has this effect?"

"I also have a bottle of transformation potion in my backpack."

"Can I transform into the appearance of this red-robed Cardinal Eugene, and then put on a mask and impersonate him?"

Of course, this is based on the assumption that the Church of Illuminati will not announce the death of the bishop.

But this also provided Cao Xing with a different idea.

That is, it seems that he can find a way to infiltrate the Church of Illumination and obtain more intelligence.

He put it into his backpack with satisfaction and began to check the last item.

[War Madness Rune (Gold)]

[Effect: Can be used on a recruited creature above level 5 to increase its strength by 80~120 points]

…

"What a powerful rune. It can actually increase my power so much?"

Cao Xing's heart moved.

However, this thing can only be used on beings with fifth-level strength, which means at least level 40, which is still some distance away from them.

At this point, we have seen all the spoils of this red-robed bishop.

Then, a skill book appeared in his hand.

It was the first kill reward he had just received for killing the red-robed bishop.

The black book exudes a strong icy aura.

On the cover, four words were written in ice-blue font - Thousands of Miles of Ice.

Look at the attributes.

[Frozen Thousand Miles Skill Book (Orange): Frost Mage Skill Book]

【Quality: Epic】

[Skill Effect: Consumes a large amount of mental power. No casting action is required. Ice mist is quickly generated on the ground in front of you, covering all enemies within 100m*2000m in front (the coverage range will continue to increase as the mental attribute increases), reducing their movement speed by 50%;

A large number of ice spikes are generated, causing 2*112% damage to all enemies within the range. The duration of the Thousand Miles of Ice is 30 minutes, and the cooldown time is 3 hours.

(When the elements began to crystallize, every inch of land they stepped on, every breath of air they breathed, and even every drop of blood flowing in their bodies, slowly condensed into crystals...)

…

“How terrifying!”

Cao Xing's pupils shrank.

This was the most terrifying skill he had ever seen, bar none!

You can imagine what it means to directly cover an area two kilometers ahead.

Moreover, the attack range of this skill will continue to increase as Cao Xing's spiritual attribute increases.

I can only say that this is truly an epic skill!

Too perverted!

Without hesitation, Cao Xing clapped his hands and clicked "Study".

[Skills for Successful Learning: Thousands of Miles of Ice...]

…

All of a sudden, a large amount of memories flooded into his mind.

It took Cao Xing a full two minutes to absorb it all!

When he opened his eyes, even his breath was filled with icy mist...

He glanced at the people on the field.

Sarah is still in metamorphosis.

Francesca's injuries have almost recovered.

However, she was still in a weak state, nestling in Liu Muxue's arms.

Next to them, Elisa and Xiao Chuchu squatted on the ground, staring at each other curiously.

The two little girls seemed to like this beautiful witch very much.

The four Nightmare Court archers next to them were in a daze.

It seems to have been hit extremely hard.

"Why...why would the gods we believe in become like this..."

"Isn't she the great God of Nightmares? Why did she fall so low?"

Monlita and the others murmured to themselves...

Isabel next to him said, "Don't be sad. I think you have predicted this result ten thousand years ago."

"Dum, the God of Nightmares, committed a serious mistake and was punished by the Six True Gods."

"Over the years, He has become even more depraved."

"He has already abandoned you believers, so why are you still feeling sorry for Him?"

As an existence that existed ten thousand years ago, Isabel naturally knew some inside information.

What surprised Cao Xing was that this woman who was extremely fanatical in her faith in the Holy See would actually say such a thing.

However, it is normal when thinking about her character introduction.

With her comfort, the nightmare archers gradually calmed down.

He looked at Isabel with gratitude in his eyes.

At this time, Cao Xing noticed that something seemed to have fallen from the place where the black shadow of the Nightmare God Dem was blown up.

I went over to take a look and found it was a black crystal as thick as a thumb.

There seemed to be a strange energy emanating from it.

When Cao Xing touched it with his right hand, a system prompt appeared.

[Obtained: Deum's Divine Fragment*1]

…

"Divine fragment, what is this?"

Look at the attributes.

[Dum's Divine Fragment: Special Item]

[Item Introduction: A fragment of divinity from the body of Deum, the former God of Nightmares. It contains powerful nightmare power. Due to the loss of its godhood, the fragment of divinity can no longer automatically return to the body.]

[Item Effect: After use, a lord or citizen can be transformed into a powerful hidden profession: Nightmare Apostle or Nightmare Courtier, Nightmare Executioner, Nightmare Hunter, etc.]

(Note: Although the divine fragments are powerful, this power still belongs to the God of Nightmares. After becoming a Nightmare Professional, he will be suppressed by Deum.)

…

"Holy crap! This is another item that can be transferred to a hidden job!"

"And it looks like he's even stronger than the Devil Professional!"

Cao Xing was shocked!

However, this thing also has a flaw, which is that it can be suppressed by the God of Nightmares.

It would be better if that guy was trapped in the abyss for the rest of his life and couldn't get out.

If the other party comes out, then the existence of this career transformation into a nightmare career will be useless.

So be careful before using this thing.

Cao Xing put it into his backpack.

At this moment, Sarah's transformation was nearing completion.

A strange power continued to emanate from her.

A moment later, a black moon rose behind Sarah.

This moon is connected to her, and seems to give her a different temperament.
