Volume One: Hell-Level Lord World Chapter 117: Successful Synthesis, Storm Mosquito Swarm
After several attempts, Chen Gu finally shook his head in resignation.
“We’ve tried everything. Among the vampire components, the heart has the highest success rate at about 16%, while the rest don't exceed 15%. From this, it’s clear that using vampires as synthesis materials is feasible. However, the resulting product might not be satisfactory. So, what do you think? Want to give it a shot?”
“Master, why is that? Vampires and mosquito swarms both suck blood, aren’t they perfectly compatible?”
“Sucking blood doesn’t mean they share the same attributes. If that logic held, then any blood-drinking weapon I have should be compatible here too, right?”
Chen Gu spoke casually, but in the next moment, he froze. Kbas’s eyes lit up as well.
“A weapon! Right, bloodsucking weapons can be used too.”
As the two grasped the key to the problem, they immediately began searching for suitable materials.
But after a long search, they realized that despite the many battles Chen Gu had faced along the way, there were very few appropriate weapons.
There were only a handful of weapons with special attributes, and none with bloodsucking properties.
Suddenly, both Chen Gu and Kbas found themselves at an awkward impasse.
Frustrated, Chen Gu’s stubbornness flared up.
“No bloodsucking weapons? Then we’ll just have to make one ourselves.”
“Master, you plan to build a forge first?”
“No, that’s too complicated. Luckily, I just got something good. Come take a look.”
Chen Gu led Kbas to the material synthesis cabinet.
He then threw some bone fragments into the cabinet.
After a short while, a complete skeleton was synthesized.
Next, Chen Gu selected ten perfect skulls from the cabinet and placed them inside.
This time, the synthesis process was to transform the bones into extraordinary materials.
The process was slower.
When it finished, Chen Gu pulled out a flawless skull.
[Perfect Skull (Green): A skull imbued with magical power. When embedded in weapons, it grants a 4% chance to leech enemy life and 3% chance to leech enemy mana. When embedded in shields, it reflects 20% damage. When embedded in armor, it increases life regeneration by 5% and mana regeneration by 3%.]
This was it.
Seeing the attributes of the Perfect Skull, a faint smile appeared in Chen Gu’s eyes.
He handed it over to Kbas, who immediately brightened.
Now there was a bloodsucking weapon.
Without hesitation, Kbas took out a large cleaver-like weapon.
It was a polearm, and Chen Gu recognized it as the weapon Kbas used back when he was a druid.
Planting the cleaver into the ground, Kbas said, “Master, let’s use this.”
[Decapitating Scythe (Green): Attack 13. When the enemy’s life drops below 25%, it attacks with a 50% chance to instantly kill.]
“Isn’t this a waste?” Chen Gu asked.
“No, I don’t need it now. Let’s just use it.”
Chen Gu nodded and placed the Perfect Skull onto the Decapitating Scythe.
In an instant, the cleaver’s appearance changed.
Along the spine of the blade, numerous skull reliefs appeared.
[Bloodsucking Decapitator (Blue): Attack 21. Grants a 4% chance to leech enemy life and 3% chance to leech enemy mana. When the enemy’s life drops below 35%, it attacks with a 50% chance to instant kill.]
Looking at the Bloodsucking Decapitator, Chen Gu felt it was almost too good to use for synthesis.
But Kbas disagreed, believing the cleaver was useless now and might as well be merged with the mosquito swarm.
[Mosquito Swarm (Legion Level)] + [Bloodsucking Weapon (Bloodsucking Decapitator)] = [??? (Success Rate 83.7%)]
Seeing the new synthesis formula appear, Chen Gu chuckled.
“Is it done?”
Noticing Chen Gu’s expression, Kbas asked curiously.
“It’s done. With over 80% success rate, it’s a sure thing this time.”
“That’s good. Master, please proceed with the synthesis.”
Chen Gu smiled and said to the Bloodsucking Decapitator, “Synthesize.”
In the next moment, three swarms of mosquitoes simultaneously pounced on the cleaver. Amid a flash of bloodlight, all the mosquitoes fell to the ground.
Only countless mosquito corpses and the rapidly rusting cleaver remained on the scene.
“Master, did it fail?”
Chen Gu shook his head. “No, just wait.”
As he spoke, the cleaver swiftly fell over. Then Chen Gu noticed a large amount of liquid pooling on the ground. New mosquitoes began to rise from the liquid.
These mosquitoes were about the normal size, but Chen Gu could clearly see a metallic sheen on their bodies.
As their numbers grew, a massive mosquito swarm appeared before Chen Gu.
The swarm easily numbered over ten thousand and was expanding toward twenty thousand.
[Pet Synthesis Complete: Obtained Blue Quality – Storm Mosquito Swarm (Legion Level)]
[Pet Attributes]
Name: Storm Mosquito Swarm (Legion Level)
Quality: Blue
Type: Swarm
Traits: Bloodsucking, Cloning
Level: 4
Stats: Attack 11, Defense 4, Life 100
Initial Skills: Bloodsucking Level 3 (absorbs 30% of enemy life to replenish self or superior), Mana Leech Level 1 (absorbs 15% of enemy mana to replenish self or superior), Bloodsucking Revival Level 1 (as long as one Storm Mosquito remains alive, the swarm can restore its numbers through bloodsucking), Storm Strike Level 2 (performs a blade storm-like attack, instantly killing all enemies with life below 35%)
Description: Although the swarm is centered on bloodsucking, its innate nature is still that of the Bloodsucking Decapitator. As long as even one mosquito in the Storm Swarm lives, the weapon’s attributes continue to be passed down.
While Chen Gu studied the Storm Mosquito Swarm’s attributes, Kbas leapt up excitedly.
“This is exactly what I wanted! This is the main direction for my swarm’s growth: direct attack, bloodsucking, mana recovery, and even revival through blood. It’s a perfect clan.
Master, your skill is truly incredible.
You will definitely save this world from the undead.”
“Alright, keep it low-key. I see you still have some mosquito swarms. Now that we know what to do, go find suitable materials. We’ll synthesize them one by one. I promise your legion will become the most dazzling force under my command.”
“Rest assured, Master. I’m on it now.”
With a clear goal and success in hand, Kbas’s expression was filled with excitement as he happily took the newly acquired Storm Mosquito Swarm and returned to the floodplain.
