Volume One: Hell-Tier Lord World Chapter 156: Special Hero

This wild wolf that successfully advanced into a purple-tier hero was originally one of Lister’s subordinates.

Unlike the Blood Shadow Wolves, it did not possess much combat capability; its only trick was to leap forward and deliver a vicious bite.

Yet, fortune favored it. When selecting its hero token, it happened to bite down on one shaped like a human skull.

Thus, it became a purple-tier hero.

Although it retained the appearance of a wild wolf even after its transformation, its size had expanded to that of a mature male lion.

Its fur had also shifted into a brilliant silvery-white, looking as though it had been cast from pure, untarnished silver.

[Hero Attributes]
Name: Silver Wolf King
Quality: Purple (Level Cap: 17)
Race: Nature
Level: 4
Talent: Lord of the Pack (For every 1 level gained, the maximum number of troops led increases by 10%)
Combat Attributes: Strength 10, Agility 10, Constitution 8, Perception 10, Intelligence 5
Campaign Attributes: Attack 3, Defense 2, Magic 1, Wisdom 0
Initial Skills: Level 3 Leadership, Level 1 Attack
Legions: None, None, None, None, None, None, None
Description: As a true wolf king, it possesses its own intelligence and ambition, but its greatest power lies in compelling all beasts to obey its commands.

This Silver Wolf King’s capabilities heavily favored leadership, and its talent was specifically geared toward legion troops.

In other words, once its level increased, it would be able to command 170% more troops than a normal person could.

To put that into perspective, if an ordinary hero could normally lead 4,000 soldiers, this wolf could lead 10,800.

This directly more than doubled, nearly tripling, the troop capacity.

Looked at this way, the Silver Wolf King was clearly prime material for a grand legion commander.

At the very worst, it could easily serve as a commander of Chen Gu’s reserve legions.

Of course, should anyone be foolish enough, it could also be deployed as a commander for cannon-fodder transport units.

It could manage seven legions at once, bringing far more troops to the front lines than anyone else on every single deployment.

Aside from these two purple heroes who required special attention, Chen Gu had also acquired several other unique heroes this time around.

For instance, a Corpse-Eating Vine had also transformed into a hero, though its luck was poor, ending up merely as a white-tier hero.

Its physical changes were not particularly drastic. Its original eighteen vines finally broke through the twenty-vine threshold, reaching a total of twenty-three.

Furthermore, the colors of the flower buds blooming at the tips of the vines had shifted from three varieties to five.

The additional flower buds also brought about new functions.

[Hero Attributes]
Name: Vine Sprite
Quality: White (Level Cap: 3)
Race: Nature
Level: 3
Talent: Underground Sovereign (For every 1 level gained, the underground movement speed of all led troops increases by 30%)
Combat Attributes: Strength 5, Agility 6, Constitution 4, Perception 6, Intelligence 4
Campaign Attributes: Attack 1, Defense 1, Magic 0, Wisdom 1
Initial Skills: Level 1 Attack, Level 1 Defense, Level 1 Magic Resistance
Legions: None, None, None, None, None, None, None
Description: This is a vine spirit with virtually no innate talent; its only ability is to slightly enhance the subterranean movement speed of its vines.

Frankly, this Vine Sprite’s talent was mediocre at best, and its strength had already hit its absolute ceiling—having even been forcefully degraded from level 6.

One could say this completely squandered the Corpse-Eating Vine's rare opportunity.

However, Chen Gu could hardly complain; blame only the cruelty of bad luck.

How wonderful it would have been if it had turned out like the Blood Shadow Wolves or the Fire Spirit Crows. Even without securing a purple-tier hero token, those groups had at least produced a blue-tier hero.

The blue-tier hero produced by the Blood Shadow Wolves was not nearly as massive as the Silver Wolf King.

It was only about the size of a normal young bull, a full size smaller than the Silver Wolf King.

Yet its situation was distinctly different from the Silver Wolf King's; it resembled an assassin much more closely.

[Hero Attributes]
Name: Blood Fiend
Quality: Blue (Level Cap: 11)
Race: Nature
Level: 4
Talent: Ghost Flash (When all subordinate troops make their very first attack, their attack power is increased by 100%)
Combat Attributes: Strength 9, Agility 10, Constitution 6, Perception 6, Intelligence 3
Campaign Attributes: Attack 3, Defense 0, Magic 0, Wisdom 1
Initial Skills: Level 2 Attack, Level 2 Logistics, Level 1 Movement
Legions: None, None, None, None, None, None, None

Description: This is a wolf with an innate instinct for stealth attacks. Much like an assassin, its opening strike is always twice as lethal as normal, a trait that has been passed down to its subordinates as well.

If all the Blood Shadow Wolves were placed under the command of Blood Fiend, they could fully unleash their natural combat instincts—suddenly flashing behind enemies to deal double damage.

In this way, the combat effectiveness of the Blood Shadow Wolves would see a massive surge.

This was undoubtedly good news for Chen Gu.

Even better news came from the side of the Fire Spirit Crows.

The Fire Spirit Crow hero remained a Fire Spirit Crow, but its size had instantly doubled.

At the same time, the swirling sparks around it increased from the original ten to twenty.

None of this was the most important part, however. The most crucial factor was that its existence expanded the Fire Spirit Crows' repertoire by three spark-based magics and two spirit-crow magics.

[Hero Attributes]
Name: Fire Shadow
Quality: Blue (Level Cap: 12)
Race: Nature
Level: 4
Talent: Archmage (When casting spells, the magical potency of both the hero and all subordinate spellcasting units is increased by 150%)
Combat Attributes: Strength 9, Agility 9, Constitution 6, Perception 6, Intelligence 13
Campaign Attributes: Attack 1, Defense 0, Magic 3, Wisdom 3
Initial Skills: Level 3 Fire Magic, Level 2 Spirit Crow Magic (Exclusive), Level 2 Spark Magic (Exclusive)
Legions: None, None, None, None, None, None, None
Description: Within the community of Fire Spirit Crows, Fire Shadow holds a status equivalent to an archmage among humans. It holds the ability to amplify magical power and even research new spells.

Under its guidance, certain clever Fire Spirit Crows can also master corresponding spark and spirit crow magics.

[Spark·Illumination: Fires a spark high into the sky to illuminate the surroundings, producing an effect equivalent to a flare.]
[Spark·Meteor: Gathers all sparks into a single coordinate to strike a target with pinpoint accuracy, subjecting the enemy to the explosive force of every single spark.]
[Spark·Drought: Utilizing the sparks as a foundation, raises the ambient temperature across a designated area, with the temperature increase scaling directly with the number of sparks used.]
[Eyes of the Spirit Crow: Crows in the sky can precisely locate small objects. By utilizing the Eyes of the Spirit Crow, the sights witnessed by the crows can be projected directly before the caster.]
[Plague Crow: Upon death, a crow can transform into a Plague Crow possessing half of its original life force. Surviving for 1 minute, it can actively attack enemies.]
