Chapter 1617 A Vow of Loyalty!
"Will I... will I really be alright?"
After hesitating for a long time, Babayak finally asked the question he thought was incredibly presumptuous:
"I am a demon, yet I now possess divine authority within me..."
"I...I'm not going to be killed by the divine punishment sent down by the Holy Lord in the next second, am I?!"
Lu Li shrugged and asked in return:
Are you dead now?
"No... no." Babayak shrank his neck, looking timid and hesitant.
"Then that settles it?" Lu Li spread his hands:
"This proves that the Holy Lord you revere doesn't care about you, so you can do whatever you want."
“This…” Babayak was stunned again.
Although he was just a Goberin, a low-level monster.
But they are also native inhabitants of the Demon Realm.
The reverence for the demon god was almost etched into his very being.
From the moment he became conscious, Babayak had always followed this reverence without ever having doubts.
He believed that the seven demon gods who existed in the ethereal void had always been watching over him, giving all demons an equal chance to receive blessings.
but now,
His master, the Great Demon Li Yun, told him that the Demon God didn't care.
Yes,
His body already contains the sacred authority of loyalty.
This behavior is practically like humiliating a male mushroom imp's spouse in front of him!
The demon god remained unmoved...
What does this prove?
It's not that the demon god doesn't care, it's that the demon god is just as cowardly as the little mushroom imp!
and so……
His faith, which he held in the highest esteem since he became conscious,
Is it really completely useless?
While Babayak was deep in thought, Lu Li turned around and inspected the Blood Armor, which had been transformed.
It was discovered that in addition to the change in appearance, its various enhancement effects have also been significantly improved.
In addition, it has an additional feature called 'Oath of Loyalty'.
"When the equipment is worn correctly, it will automatically connect to the Oathbearer. Once the connection is established, the wearer will be unconditionally immune to 20% of all types of damage, and 10% of that damage will be unconditionally absorbed by the Oathbearer."
Lu Li muttered to himself, his gaze fixed on the words 'damage will be unconditionally negated'.
To be honest, the strongest defensive equipment he had ever seen so far was only Alyssa's [Shield of the Coward].
An epic-quality shield that reduces damage by 65%.
But it's only a 'damage reduction'.
It is not 'damage immunity'.
For attacks launched by special items, the defensive effect of [Shield of the Coward] will be negligible if it fails to trigger the 'Perfect Parry' trait.
The Blood Armor gains a new trait: a whopping 20% damage reduction!
In other words,
Even a fatal blow can have 20% of its damage negated when it hits this armor, forcibly turning a death into a serious injury!
"The equipment quality is invisible... It has indeed been fully upgraded..."
Muttering something under his breath, Lu Li didn't hesitate and immediately took off his armor, about to put it on.
At that moment, the armor sensed his intention and seemed to come alive!
Perfectly coordinated with the wearing movements, it instantly adhered to Lu Li's body.
After getting dressed properly, Lu Li could feel an invisible connection gradually forming.
The oath-taker described in the 'Oath of Loyalty' trait is none other than Babayak, who is frowning and deep in thought not far away.
Babayak seemed to sense something at that moment, and suddenly raised his head, looking at Lu Li with surprise in his eyes.
"grown ups……"
"Uh...you felt it too, right?" Lu Li grinned a little embarrassedly.
Although the armor enhanced by the monster face has an outstanding effect, the 'Oath of Loyalty' will still force the oath-taker to take 10% of the damage.
Because he did this without consulting Babayak, he felt somewhat apologetic.
I intended to give an explanation,
The next second, Lu Li heard Babayak respond with immense excitement:
"felt it!"
"So your true strength is this formidable!"
Lu Li: "Huh?"
"So this is the function of the power of loyalty..." Babayak seemed completely oblivious to Lu Li's reaction, still immersed in his own world, and continued speaking to himself:
"It turns out it wasn't used actively at all, but rather the effect was produced passively!"
"Lord Li Yun, I can now see and use all the innate abilities you possess!"
Lu Li blinked, recalling what the strange face had said, and hesitantly nodded:
“Uh… that weird face did mention that the effect of the Loyalty Authority is ‘copying’…”
"So now you, just like He was able to replicate all the authority held by the Seven Ancestors, are replicating everything about me?"
"Currently, we can only copy innate abilities," Babayak replied truthfully, his attitude becoming increasingly respectful.
"Even so, the improvement I've experienced has been extraordinary!"
"Because your [Soul Devouring] is simply too powerful!"
After saying that, Babayak walked quickly to the other three Goberlin corpses and touched them one by one.
Then he jogged back to Lu Li and opened his palm.
The familiar black mist rose from Babayak's palm and quickly condensed into three figures in front of him.
They are Golb, Mipodi, and Gil.
Apart from a somewhat blank expression, the three dead Gobelins were almost exactly the same as when they were alive!
They have already become Soul Guardians!
Lu Li was stunned.
Is this reasonable?
This is clearly unreasonable!
His [Soul Devouring] was still sealed in a grayish-white state and completely unusable!
How come once the authority of loyalty was copied, Babayak was able to use it even more skillfully than he had?
Pirated copies are better than genuine ones, huh?!
"Uh, well... actually, I wanted to say..." Lu Li scratched his cheek, still wanting to bring up the matter of sharing the damage.
But the excited Babayak didn't give him a chance and excitedly interrupted, saying:
“I know! These are all gifts you bestowed upon Babayak!”
"Rest assured, Babayak's loyalty to you will never change!"
"Not only for this powerful strength, but also to live up to your expectations and the training you have given me!"
Land from:"……"
At the same time, Gerargon, standing to the side, also rushed forward to express his loyalty:
"Glargon is also willing to pledge his life to Lord Li Yun!"
"If it weren't for the help of adults, I probably would have died three cycles ago."
"Not only am I living well now, but I've also gained an extra four hundred years of lifespan!"
"These are all gifts from the adults, and Gerargon will never forget them!"
Lu Li was taken aback, but then immediately realized what was happening.
Glargon was able to gain a lifespan of four hundred years, probably because he won the quiz game.
After all, that weird-faced guy had mentioned that the rewards and punishments for the last question would be increased tenfold.
If the deceased Gorbu had forty years of lifespan remaining, then after a tenfold increase, Glargon would receive four hundred years.
But then another problem arose!
Lu Li was also a winner in the game, so why didn't he receive any related rewards?
……
