【Robe of the Undead (Damaged): Purple Rare】

Description:

Crafted centuries ago with great effort by the Necromancer Jean Sol, this magical robe was originally intended to be a gold-quality spiritual weapon. Due to insufficient conditions, it only reached the pinnacle of purple quality. However, it already possesses some high-level capabilities.

Its shape can change according to the user, typically appearing as white cloth. It is a top-tier magical equipment that combines offense and defense.

Later, the Necromancer met an untimely end, and this item fell into the hands of Empress of the 【Eternal Throne】. He used it as a medium for the powerful spirit “Bark and Buckle”, who was unwilling to die, to attach their soul to it, becoming the spirit of the 【Robe of the Undead】, forming a special soul life form, achieving the gold-grade spiritual treasure level. He is known as the fourth “Throne” of the 【Eternal Throne】, the Soul Capturing Twin Ghosts.

However, in battle, the spirit of the Twin Ghosts was obliterated by a certain existence, and the 【Robe of the Undead】 itself was damaged due to excessive harm, falling back to its original grade. It has now lost its ability to accommodate a soul, leaving only its basic offensive and defensive functions.

Hmm? This description is quite lengthy, much more detailed than the last one about the 【Demon God Gem (Fragment)】. It even explains the origin clearly.

 

Both are purple-grade equipment, so why is there such a significant difference?

 

Could it be because the latter is connected to the so-called “God”?

 

After all, you can see that in this equipment description, all the names of the characters involved are written quite clearly, except for Miss Violet, who defeated it, being described as “a certain existence.” This implies that not just anything can be written on it.

 

So, it suddenly feels like I’m quite impressive, doesn’t it?

 

Just as Miss Priest was processing a jumble of thoughts in her head, the scenery around her quickly changed, and she was back on the battlefield in the Tepaya Basin.

 

Violet hastily stowed the dropped items into her backpack and stood up as if nothing had happened.

 

The once thunderous stronghold was now deserted, with only the wooden houses and the main hall still burning fiercely in the blaze.

 

There were numerous corpses around, including members of the 【Eternal Throne】 in black robes, soldiers from the Kingdom in silver armor, and even several shadow guards. The level of carnage from the previous battle was evident.

 

Most importantly, amidst the pile of bodies, Violet accurately identified a kitsune with gray pointed ears and a fox-like tail, sporting several fatal wounds. She was beyond saving, and the sacrificed shadow guards were mostly found near her.

 

“A fox-folk…”

 

Violet quickly stored Prakaka’s body without giving it much thought. The inventory couldn’t hold living beings, but corpses were exempt.

 

The immediate priority was to find Princess Lilya and confirm her condition.

 

Through the images transmitted by her “light elf” on the tigerkin Kunnir’s body, Violet had already seen the elderly fox-like figure who had been issuing commands and appeared to be the commander of the beastman army. Although there were many differences in age, appearance, fur color, and demeanor, there was no doubt that the fox-folk corpse and that individual were of the same race. [1]

 

The beastman reinforcements had arrived.

 

The Beastman Kingdom boasted many powerful individuals, and in such a critical operation, it was likely that legendary experts were involved. Without herself and Flora, relying solely on Lilya and her shadow guards to deal with legends would be a formidable challenge.

 

Although Xiao Guang, who was observing from the high skies, had not urgently transmitted any information through their contract, indicating that the princess’s life was likely not in danger, it was still essential to locate her as quickly as possible.

 

“Directional Detection, activate!”

 

Violet closed her eyes, and an invisible train of thought expanded, swiftly gathering under the guidance of a specific target. In her mind, she constructed clear information about the direction and distance.

 

She found her, not far from here.

 

The universal skill, 【Full-Map Directional Detection】, was a valuable technique in adventure-type missions. The user needed to provide someone with an item that had their mark. Regardless of where the person went, as long as the item wasn’t lost, blocked, or exceeded the maximum detection range, they could effortlessly pinpoint their location.

 

In 【Illusory World】, this skill was typically used on NPCs who couldn’t communicate through general chat, or on special monsters required for protective missions.

 

When Violet gave the princess the 【Casket of Ascension】, she had specifically instructed her not to place it in a storage item and to keep it on her person. A significant reason for this was the ability to use it to locate Lilya at specific times.

 

After quickly determining the location, Miss Priestess glanced back at the deceased shadow guards, all familiar faces she had seen before.

 

Although she maintained a respectful and reserved demeanor in front of Lilya, Violet knew that, in private, each of her shadow guards had their own unique personalities and lives.

 

Should she try to resurrect them?

 

She pondered it… but in the end, she decided against it.

 

Even if it was a gift from the gods, it was not without a cost, and what about Violet herself?

 

Life was fragile, the most valuable and irreplaceable treasure, each person only having one. From Prakaka’s reaction and various things she had seen and heard recently, Violet understood just how desirable and coveted the concept of “resurrection” was in this world.

 

However, it was precisely because life was such a miraculous one-time occurrence that it should be cherished. Recklessly using resurrection powers without restraint would only lead to chaos for both parties.

 

In the end, she let these shadow guards rest in peace, believing that these young girls had already come to terms with the consequences when they sacrificed their lives.

 

She silently apologized in her heart, then turned and unfolded her immaculate and sacred wings, flying into the distant sky.

 

…………..

 

Lilya leaned on her longsword, her slightly dazed and disoriented eyes fixed on the still body with pinkish-white skin. Her chest heaved with deep breaths as she struggled to regain her composure, dealing with the dizziness caused by her depleted magic and blood loss.

 

She had already given her all, but the current princess, Her Royal Highness, still had a considerable gap compared to the true legends.

 

Even though Lilya was confident in competing with Sky-level warriors, when facing this assassin, Mevis, with pink and white fox ears and a large tail, she was clearly suppressed without a doubt.

 

Throughout the battle, Mevis had only used one move, the [Fox Spirit Art: Enchanting Soul Slash]. The headache for Lilya was that, no matter what she tried, she couldn’t break through it.

 

As soon as Mevis made a move, Lilya involuntarily locked eyes with those pink vertical pupils and became immobilized, allowing Mevis to easily scratch her with a swipe.

 

Even closing her eyes in advance wouldn’t help, when the attraction force came, it would inevitably result in a strange “staring contest.” Even if Lilya tried to avoid it, her body would do it involuntarily.

 

If it weren’t for her liquid armor, the high-quality armor she was wearing, and the occasional self-blocking from the Wind Shadow behind her, Lilya would have already perished.

 

Even so, the princess was now covered in numerous wounds, large and small. She appeared disheveled, and even her breath carried a hint of rusty, acrid smell.

 

“Hah… geez… he’s so ruthless even against a girl. It’s going to leave scars, you bastard…”

 

Lilya chuckled self-deprecatingly and once again raised her sword with determination. She knew that this might be futile, but only by going on the offensive could she hope to minimize the damage.

 

After a series of battles and retreats, most of the Kingdom’s forces and the Shadow Guards had already withdrawn from the basin, and they had cavalry reinforcements pre-arranged. As long as they entered their planned escape route before the arrival of the beastman wolf riders, the retreat should not be difficult.

 

The remaining problem was how she could save her own life from this fox’s clutches.
