Chapter 44 - 44-Raking in Points! (Part 2)
"Helena, this is for you."
"I don't want it!"
Seeing the eye, as large as a goose egg and covered in blood and viscous fluid, Helena felt a wave of nausea.
She couldn't fathom how something so disgusting could be made into equipment.
She wouldn't wear it, not even if it killed her!
"Give it a try. It might be very effective."
"No way, absolutely no way! Take it away!"
Seeing Helena's genuine revulsion, John shrugged, not pressing the issue, and then turned his gaze to Exiled Immortal.
"What about you? Want to try it?"
"Why not? It's just a game. If the equipment is strong, I'd even wear a pile of dung on my head!"
Exiled Immortal waved his hand grandly, accepting John's gift and immediately equipping the eye.
Seeing this, Helena quickly stepped back, looking at Exiled Immortal with a newfound sense of disdain.
But she couldn't deny the effectiveness of the equipment.
The increased field of vision and enhanced attributes were a perfect match for Exiled Immortal, making his already commanding view even broader.
"It's great stuff, big sister! It's a shame you don't want it."
"There's no need. You keep it."
"Hey, even if you begged, I wouldn't give it... Whoa! John, the goblins are coming again!"
Looking into the distance, Exiled Immortal saw figures darting through the dense forest. He swiftly descended, urgently saying, "Is the second wave of the goblin tide about to start?"
"Judging by the time... it seems like it. Prepare for battle. Exiled Immortal, I still recommend not staying airborne unless necessary."
"I'm used to it, John. If you suddenly make me change, I won't adapt."
Without looking back, Exiled Immortal soared into the air, leaving John with only a graceful silhouette.
Seeing this, John sighed softly and said no more.
He just positioned his golem and awaited the arrival of the goblin tide.
Compared to the first wave, the second wave showed a significant improvement in both quantity and quality.
The main force had shifted from the common cave goblins to goblin warriors, with an average level around 18.
Furthermore, elite units such as berserker goblins and cavalry goblins appeared at the rear.
If John remembered correctly, this large-scale event's goblin tide attack comprised ten waves.
In his previous life, John had only managed to withstand up to the sixth wave before being overwhelmed by the elite goblin troops and hastily withdrawing from the battlefield.
But...
When John saw the ID, his smile froze, and his expression darkened.
"S."
John knew this ID all too well!
The person who took the [Legendary] item he gifted, the one who ended his life with his own hands, who chose betrayal over loyalty, and even committed that disgraceful act against Lily—who else could it be?
Just seeing this ID made John's anger flare up.
Noticing John's change in demeanor, Exiled Immortal hesitantly patted his shoulder, asking, "Jo-John, are you okay?"
"Huff... I'm fine. Let's not bring up this topic again. If any of you get the chance to meet this person, do me a favor and kill him."
"...Got it, John."
Exiled Immortal and the others exchanged glances, their curiosity piqued but unvoiced.
It was the first time they had seen John like this, so enraged that his hands trembled uncontrollably.
Usually, he always had a smile on his face, but now, showing such a state, how could they not be curious?
"I know what you want to ask. All I can say is that there is an unresolvable grudge between him and me. If I see him, I'll kill him at any cost. I was impulsive just now; this is my problem, and I shouldn't drag you into it. If you see him, please let me know."
"Johnny... I don't know why you're so angry, but Lily will support you!"
"I haven't killed anyone before, but if he's your enemy, then he's our enemy."
"All I can say is, messing with us means this S. is out of luck!"
...
Meanwhile, in a certain alley in Calia,
swung his greatsword with all his might, turning the goblin in front of him into mush, finally able to catch his breath for a brief rest.
After sheathing his greatsword, S. slumped against the wall. Before he could even out his breathing, a chill ran down his spine.
"Strange, what's going on?"
This feeling was like being watched by a hidden viper, making him feel prickly all over.
If this was the immersion effect of the event, it was too exaggerated.
"However, that anonymous player is really strong, their points have already broken five digits. If I get the chance, I'd love to meet them. Maybe I could get some treasures from them.
Speaking of which, my greatsword needs replacing.
Using an exquisite-quality item until now has become quite a strain; it can't even crush those green monsters' heads anymore. How about... I just steal one?"
With that thought, S. fixed his gaze on a player who had just acquired an [Epic] quality item and was strutting around proudly.
After confirming his target, S. nonchalantly drew the dagger from his waist and slowly crept closer.
