Chapter 573, In Your Next Life, Don’t Provoke Me

Translator: Silavin

Although Lu Fan was confident that even if the other party suddenly launched a surprise attack, he would be able to react in time and would not be instantly killed, this incident served as another reminder to him that one must never let one’s guard down, no matter the circumstances.

Just as Lu Fan was contemplating this, Kage Mako noticed that Lu Fan’s expression did not look particularly pleasant, and assumed it was due to fear of him, which only made his smile grow wider.

“You need not look so troubled. If I am not mistaken, you should also be here for this thing.”

Kage Mako pointed at the Blade Armour Dragon King and continued, “Previously, Cherry Blossom Country experienced strange phenomena that seem to come from Heaven. An unfathomable existence seemed to have fallen deep within Divine Fall Wilderness. Those who were seeking answers eventually discovered that this existence had fallen on Heavenly Divine Peak, though Heavenly Divine Peak is located in the deepest parts of Divine Fall Wilderness and is inhabited by many High Level Monsters. Ordinary people simply would not be able to reach the summit to investigate.”

“I believe you also purchased this intel and came here seeking opportunities. Unfortunately, my objective is the same as yours, and you are destined not to obtain it. But… I could bestow upon you another opportunity.”

“If it were anyone else, even a Level 100 Player, I would kill them without hesitation for daring to compete with me for something, But you, young man, have a ton of potential. I observed from behind how you climbed to the summit and slaughtered so many Monsters. I found your Profession Characteristics to be quite remarkable. I have heard that Dragon Country recently has a Dragon Tamer who has been making quite a name for himself. However, I believe your strength and potential should not fall short compared to his.”

“How about this: kowtow three times here and acknowledge me as your Master. I shall help you Level Up and provide you with resources, requiring only that you serve me in the future. What do you say?” At this point, Kage Mako added, “I imagine that with your potential, you must have high standards. But no matter how high your standards are, surely someone like me, a Level 119 Player, represents an unattainable existence for you?”

“With your experience, you probably have never encountered another Player above Level 110 before. My strength is more terrifying than you can imagine. So, if you acknowledge me as your Master, your future path will certainly be smooth and unobstructed. Moreover, my background far exceeds your imagination. If I wish it to be, placing Cherry Blossom Country under your full control would be effortless. So, how does my offer sound?”

This person spoke with a tone of casual indifference. He was probably not boasting.

Indeed, with his Level, sweeping through the entire Cherry Blossom Country would definitely pose no problem.

If he wanted to support Lu Fan in controlling Cherry Blossom Country, there would probably be few who could oppose it.

However, Lu Fan had no interest whatsoever in controlling Cherry Blossom Country. In fact, he was more inclined to destroy Cherry Blossom Country than the bothersome task to rule over it.

Moreover, a mere Level 119 Player wanting Lu Fan to kneel and acknowledge him as Master—was this not pure fantasy?

“What sort of joke are sprouting?” Lu Fan grinned and spoke without any consideration for face, “Just who do you think you are, wanting me to acknowledge you as my Master?”

These few words immediately caused Kage Mako’s expression to collapse. It had probably been a very long time since anyone had dared to speak to him in such a manner.

“You are quite arrogant and prideful.” Kage Mako shook his head, and his smiling expression gradually turned cold and stern, “However, excessive arrogance becomes conceit. I do not know who you are, nor do I know what background you possess, but I do know what sort of fortune you have just missed.”

“How many people have offered countless treasures, hoping for me to accept them as my Disciple, yet I refused them all. Today, seeing your potential, I actively extended an invitation to you, yet you dare to refuse me so disrespectfully. Since this is the case, I do not mind eliminating a genius like you. I shall let you understand what is meant by ‘there are always people above you, like Heavens above the skies’!”

“After killing you, I shall then properly study what sort of existence these things really are.” As he spoke, his body remained motionless, but he apparently issued some sort of command that caused the Yamata-no-Orochi above his head to react.

The eight heads of Yamata-no-Orochi continuously hissed, with each head being different from the others and possessing its own set of Skills.

One could tell at a glance that Kage Mako should belong to a Beast Tamer Type Profession, while his Pet Yamata-no-Orochi was definitely no ordinary creature.

The Yamata-no-Orochi was a Monster that had appeared in Cherry Blossom Country mythology, even capable of being mentioned alongside Giant Dragons, equally rare and extraordinary, seemingly existing only in mythology while never appearing in reality.

Such a Monster has strength and potential, even if not matching Giant Dragons, should at least be an Epic Grade in terms of its existence.

Combined with both Kage Mako and Yamata-no-Orochi being Level 119, Kage Mako’s strength naturally went without saying. His arrogance was definitely backed by a substantial foundation.

Kage Mako naturally thought the same way. After ordering Yamata-no-Orochi to attack and kill Lu Fan, he did not even have the interest to glance back at whether Lu Fan had the capability to resist. Instead, he walked slowly towards where the Blade Armour Dragon King was located, saying as he walked, “I have observed your strength all the way here and have a complete understanding of it. To kill you is but one Skill from my Little Eight.”

“In your next life, if you reincarnate as a Human, if you still possess such excellent natural talent, remember to be more tactful. Not everyone is someone you can afford to provoke.” As Kage Mako’s words fell, Yamata-no-Orochi also flew to hover not far above Lu Fan’s head, with all eight heads taking action simultaneously.

One head emanated with swirling black gas, transforming into chains that swept towards Lu Fan, binding him tightly. It was clearly a Crowd Control Skill.

The other heads also threw out their Skills, each with different Attributes and Effects.

Generally speaking, after being Crowd Controlled by the first Skill, one could only helplessly endure the remaining seven Skills.

If Yamata-no-Orochi’s opponent were anyone else, even a Level 100 Player would find it very difficult to retaliate.

However, its opponent was Lu Fan.

Lu Fan had Immunity to all Debuffs, including Crowd Control Effects.

Seeing how the other party underestimated him so greatly, Lu Fan chuckled and directly extended his hand, drawing two Summoning Arrays while saying, “What you just said happens to be exactly what I want to say to you.”

“So what if you are at Level 119? Anyone who hasn’t reached their Fifth Profession is just trash to me! In your next life, you must remember ‘not everyone is someone you can afford to provoke’. This Yamata-no-Orochi of yours appears to be quite the formidable Pet, but to me, it is nothing but garbage! You think you understand my strength? You don’t know anything! What you have seen is not even the tip of the iceberg of what I can actually do!”
