Chapter 15 The Heart of Titan

Although Shi Feng was shocked, his feet didn't stop. He turned into a streak of afterimages, rushing towards the Heart of Titan placed in the center. He then used Observation Eye on the Dark Ritualist.

"Unknown?" Shi Feng was startled.

Other than the Dark Ritualist, nothing else was displayed, only question marks…

There were only two possibilities for such a situation. One was that he had equipped a high-level disguise item, and the other was that his strength was so amazing that ordinary observation skills couldn't read it.

Obviously, it was the latter.

In Shi Feng's memory, the Dark Ritualists were a very mysterious group of creatures, always wearing jester's outfits with many small bells. They seemed like humans, but weren't, and yet weren't living beings either. Each of them was extremely powerful, able to appear anywhere at will, coming and going without a trace. Even the royal palace of Star-Moon City could be easily entered and exited.

But this was nothing. Shi Feng had once seen a Tier 3 Great Druid NPC die at the hands of a Dark Ritualist. Their attack methods were simply unbelievable, making them impossible to defend against.

"Damn human, how dare you break into this place!" The Dark Ritualist's face was wrapped in black cloth, revealing a pair of eyes that glowed with red light. Although his angry expression couldn't be seen, his tone was unusually excited.

Streams of cyan energy were being absorbed by the Dark Ritualist, clearly at a critical moment, which was why he couldn't attack.

This gave Shi Feng a chance to stop the absorption ritual, which would severely injure the Dark Ritualist. Otherwise, after this critical period, the Dark Ritualist could even kill a Tier 3 Great Druid, and killing him would be just a wave of his hand.

"Cyber, quickly kill him for me!" the Dark Ritualist urged.

Shi Feng smiled slightly. Seeing the Dark Ritualist's anxious appearance, he was even more determined to destroy it. As for the hellhound behind him, it was still bound by chains and couldn't make it in time.

Slash!

Shi Feng used all his strength, and with a twist of his wrist, there was an explosive sound. The Abyssal Blade turned into a black light, piercing straight towards the absorption magic array of the Heart of Titan.

Clang!

The ever-victorious magic weapon, the Abyssal Blade, was blocked outside the magic array, creating a dazzling white light. It didn't damage the absorption magic array at all.

"Miserable human, do you think you can break my magic array with your little swordsman skills? You should give up and become Cyber's food. Maybe I'll let your soul go, otherwise, you'll suffer endless pain after you die," the Dark Ritualist threatened.

At this time, the hellhound had already rushed over.

"You dare to talk big, you clown. Do you think I have no way to deal with you?" Shi Feng sneered and took out a dark gray magic scroll from his backpack.

"No!"

"You're crazy! Do you know what you're doing?"

After seeing this dark gray magic scroll, the Dark Ritualist suddenly screamed.

"Looks like you're quite knowledgeable. We might as well die together." Shi Feng didn't want to use this thing either, but with his life on the line, he couldn't care less. He then unfolded the magic scroll and recited the activation incantation.

This was one of Shi Feng's only three Tier 2 magic scrolls, Annihilation Torrent, which could devour all magic elements and turn them into nothingness. It was a top-tier Tier 2 magic scroll.

Immediately, the magic elements within the entire central barrier surged, becoming extremely violent, and then constantly disintegrated.

The absorption magic array was composed of magic elements, so it naturally couldn't escape unscathed. It disintegrated and exploded.

The entire absorption magic array exploded like popping beans, crackling and sending out dazzling shockwaves.

Shi Feng directly activated Sword's Orbit, which could block six ranged attacks, and rushed towards the Heart of Titan.

However, collecting the Heart of Titan was not easy. Either he had to consume all the energy to remove the guardian barrier, or he had to have a key to remove the guardian barrier. Fortunately, Shi Feng had a key, and in the explosion, he opened the guardian barrier of the Heart of Titan and stored the Heart of Titan.

The shockwave of Annihilation Torrent blew the hellhound away, slamming it hard against the wall. The wall cracked like a spider web, and then it fell heavily to the ground, unable to even stand up.

However, the impact of the explosion didn't hurt the Dark Ritualist. It was as if the shockwave passed through his body. His body seemed not to exist in this space. However, the backlash from the magic ritual also seriously injured him. He stared silently at Shi Feng, vaguely intending to attack.

"Hmph, come on if you dare!" Shi Feng sneered and took out another deep blue Tier 2 magic scroll.

He had already obtained the Heart of Titan. Even if he died, the quest item wouldn't drop. The Dark Ritualist was extremely weak, at most a little stronger than him. He still had two Tier 2 magic scrolls. At worst, he would die together with the Dark Ritualist.

He could be resurrected if he died, but if the Dark Ritualist died, it would be a real death.

Let's see who's afraid of whom!

"Humble human, I'll let you go this time. We'll meet again sooner or later, and when that time comes, it will be your death," the Dark Ritualist said, giving up the idea of killing Shi Feng after seeing the magic scroll. He only said a harsh word and disappeared into the control room with the hellhound.

Shi Feng waited quietly for a while, and only after confirming that there was no movement around did he breathe a sigh of relief, but he didn't put away the Tier 2 magic scroll.

He would be reluctant to use the Tier 2 magic scroll to die together with the Dark Ritualist, but with the Dark Ritualist's intelligence, he would make the right choice.

With the Heart of Titan already obtained, Shi Feng took out a Return Scroll and started reading.

Thirty seconds later, Shi Feng turned into a white light and disappeared into the control room.

After Shi Feng disappeared, the Dark Ritualist appeared again, the red light emitted from his eyes even more intense. He clearly didn't expect Shi Feng to be so vigilant, and he never put away the Tier 2 magic scroll, otherwise, he would have had a chance to kill Shi Feng.

"Damn human, I spent more than ten years of research to find a way to absorb the Heart of Titan. When I recover, I will make you wish you were dead!" The Dark Ritualist suddenly waved his hand, and dozens of throwing knives destroyed the stone seat that had lost its protective barrier, and he roared loudly.

On the other side, Shi Feng had already returned to Red Leaf Town.

At this time, there were even more players in Red Leaf Town. People were selling ordinary level 0 to 2 equipment and basic skill books everywhere on the street.

Shi Feng looked at his backpack. He hadn't received any gold coins for a long time, so he decided to sell things first and then hand in the quest.

The previous design drawings had already been sold out. Shi Feng took out another twenty Glimmer Design Drawings and put them on the auction house for sale in batches.

At this time, Bai Qingxue sent a communication request.

"Gather at the entrance of the Dark Moon Cemetery in three hours. Have your team prepare and bring the necessary potions. This time, our Ouroboros must win the first kill of the team dungeon. It all depends on your performance." Bai Qingxue's voice was very indifferent, as if she was giving an order, completely different from when they met before.

"Okay, I'll definitely be there in three hours." However, Shi Feng didn't mind. That was the normal attitude of the Ice Goddess. After estimating the time, he should be able to make it.

Neither of them said much and hung up the communication directly.

Shi Feng then bought card sets and hard stones at the auction house, as well as some raw materials for making Bronze and Mysterious-Iron-grade equipment. After putting the materials in the warehouse, he bought some magic scrolls and necessary potions, and ran to White Sands Ruins to hand in the quest.
