Traveling through the game world

"Is this crimson energy surging into my body the power of Kazan?" Inside the red cocoon of light, Lian Yang felt the powerful crimson energy surging into his body, an energy filled with rage and violence.

“That’s right,” Hope said. “I really want to see what a sword spirit with Kazan’s power would be like. What would happen if absolute rationality and absolute madness were combined?”

"I'm also curious to know what will happen." Kazan's phantom appeared faintly inside the cocoon of light, looking at Lian Yang with some surprise, and said, "Outsider, your power is truly incredible!"

"Kazan!" Lian Yang exclaimed as he received the baptism of Kazan's power.

"It's me." He nodded. "I'm surprised by your existence. Does another dimension exist in this world?" As a ghost, although his power might not be the strongest among the gods, he was an existence somewhere between a god and a ghost. However, Kazan still saw through Lian Yang's lack of a soul imprint from this world at a glance.

Lian Yang answered affirmatively: "Yes, not just another time and space, but in fact, there are countless time and space, and I have the ability to travel between different time and space."

The ability to travel through time and space is not a taboo in Arad. The celestial beings and demons are not native to Arad, so Lian Yang, who comes from another dimension, is not ostracized.

"In that case, perhaps following you will allow me to experience a completely new world! I'm tired of wandering in this world anyway!" After saying that, Kazan suddenly burrowed into Lian Yang's body.

"Roar!" At the same time, the power of Kazan from the curse of Kazan was finally completed. Lian Yang's eyes turned blood red, and he roared to the sky.

"Kid, I'll give you one last push, consider it your participation fee!" Kazan's voice rang out again calmly.

The crimson color of Lian Yang's left hand, which was about to undergo a transformation, gradually faded. No, it wasn't fading; the crimson energy condensed in his arm began to move towards his heart. The movement was rapid, and in an instant, a sword-shaped crimson mark condensed at Lian Yang's heart. The scarlet blade exuded an indescribable, chilling aura.

"Phew!" Stroking the blood-red mark on his chest, Lian Yang chuckled, "Not bad at all. This is much cooler than my hideous left hand." The blood sword mark on his muscular chest, resembling a ferocious tattoo, was far from ugly; on the contrary, it was exceptionally cool. This greatly pleased Lian Yang.

The moment the host finished merging with Kazan's blood energy, the Hope Machine's voice rang out: "Same world detected, second profession core energy, host's profession integration begins! Profession integration complete, host can possess dual powers simultaneously. Host develops second profession, rewarded with all skills of the second profession! Bestowed with the new profession name—Berserker Blood Sword Soul."

"It's gotten bigger!" Feeling the still-raging but calming power of his blood within his body, and hearing the Hope Machine's notification tone, Lian Yang's mood was like a rollercoaster ride. If he had to describe it in two words, it would be—exciting!

"You've hit the jackpot! You've hit the jackpot!" Hope's voice said excitedly. "You now have two powers within you. With the system's help, you can use one of them individually or both at the same time. Although this will consume double the magic power, do you really care?"

In DNF (Dungeon Fighter Online), the four main swordsman classes are: Sword Master and Berserker (physical attackers), and Asura and Soul Bender (magical attackers). Sword Master's swordsmanship is unparalleled, while Berserker boasts the highest energy level. Asura excels in perception. Soul Bender is somewhat similar to a summoner, fighting by summoning various spirits and deities, not by the user's own power.

Of course, Lianyang, who always plays warriors in games, has never been interested in Asura or Ghostblade. As for Dark Knight, it's essentially a Ghost Knight, but it uses the power of dark spacetime to mimic the skills of the other four Ghost Knight types. In terms of sheer power, it's inferior to the original.

Now, Lian Yang possesses genuine sword energy cultivated by a Sword Soul, along with even more authentic blood energy than a Berserker (Kazan currently resides within Lian Yang's body). Lian Yang's biggest dream in the game—to wield dual swords and unleash the Reverse Slash—is no longer just a dream. (Dual swords, similar to the Berserker's Blood Frenzy, transforms normal attacks into dual-wielding attacks. It involves condensing blood energy into a weapon for attack. The Reverse Slash technique, on the other hand, involves the Sword Soul condensing sword energy into a lightsaber, becoming a dual-wielder. This is a unique ability of lightsabers in the game, but in Arad, the four attack methods are no longer weapon-specific; instead, attack methods can be freely switched according to needs. Wielding dual swords and unleashing the Reverse Slash means simultaneously condensing blood energy and sword energy into a secondary weapon, enjoying double the attack bonus.)

"What the hell do I care!" Lian Yang said excitedly, "I have Remy's Kiss and Magic Juice, so what if it consumes a lot of resources! By the way, I killed Sam. As the biggest boss of Silver Village, he should have dropped a lot of good stuff, right?"

As a boss that influences the entire Arnofa Forest, Arad's world laws determine that Sam is a high-ranking boss, and the items dropped by Sam must be of high quality.

Boss tiers are a standard established based on the rules of the Dungeon Fighter Online world. Higher-tier bosses generally have higher drop rates than lower-tier bosses. In principle, boss tier is unrelated to strength, but generally, higher-tier bosses are quite powerful. For example, Apostles are considered super-tier bosses because they can influence the entire world. However, powerful bosses like the Insect King Lugu, despite easily defeating Sam, are only low-tier bosses because they can only operate in one area. Individually powerful but adventurous beings like the Four Sword Saints, such as Agamemnon, are mid-tier bosses. Emperor Leon Heinrich III of the Delos Empire is a high-tier boss; his strength is unknown, but his influence is immense. Of course, boss drops also follow level; a level 10 boss cannot drop level 100 items.

Sure enough, among the purple equipment scattered on the ground, two weapons shimmering with pink light stood out. Lian Yang walked closer and saw that they were a dark red greatsword and a silver-gray hand cannon.

"What a treasure! Baron and Alice's strength is about to undergo a qualitative change!" Looking at the two artifacts in his hands, Lian Yang exclaimed in his heart that he was lucky. These two items were naturally extremely useless to him, because he had the better Kazan's Curse. Although he could use the hand cannon because this was the real world, it had no attributes at all. Moreover, because he did not have the relevant skills, he could not even perform normal attacks.

After collecting the equipment dropped by Sam, Lian Yang muttered to himself, "Phew! After one last foray into the Forgotten Forest, it'll be time to leave Silver Village. I've lived here for a while now, and I'm really going to miss it..."

Silver Village

"You're back!" Celia exclaimed happily upon seeing Lian Yang's return from afar. "Everyone was watching over Sylma, but I was so worried about you... It's so good that you're back safe and sound."

"Hehe." Lian Yang laughed smugly, "I'm going to become someone who surpasses my master, how could I possibly die so easily!"

As they were talking, they arrived at Morgan's residence. Baron and Alice had indeed returned and were taking turns looking after Thelma, who was still running a fever.

Upon seeing Lian Yang enter, Morgan said, "Sylmar's fever started to subside. I knew you had already taken care of Sam. You truly are a force to be reckoned with!"

A beaming Paris patted Lian Yang on the shoulder: "Kid! Well done! You're really something! Selma's starting to recover. But what the hell is that damn rock anyway?"

Lian Yang said, "I don't know what kind of thing it is, but that rotten rock seems to want to rule the whole world."

"Pfft!" Hearing Lian Yang's words, Paris spat out the water she had just drunk. "A broken rock, yet it has quite the ambition. It deserves to be smashed by you. By the way, Tana looks preoccupied; it seems like she has something to tell you."

Arriving alone at Tana's residence, Lian Yang asked, "Did you need something from me?"

“Yes,” Tana affirmed, “I came to you alone to ask you something. But before that, I sincerely thank you. My mistake led to a series of crises in the Arnofa Forest and Silver Village. Thanks to your help, things have finally stabilized. What I want to ask is, since you fought with Sam, did you find anything suspicious?”

Lian Yang knew what Tana wanted to ask, nodded, and said with certainty, "I sensed the aura of the Black Nightmare on Sam. Sam's sudden strength is definitely related to the Black Nightmare."

Tana said, "While Sam is a very powerful evil entity, he doesn't yet have the ability to create a black nightmare throughout Arad. There must be other forces behind it."

Lian Yang said, "Sam is just an ignorant nobody. I can sense that some force is brewing a much larger crisis. It's truly worrying; these despicable ambitious people..." As he spoke, Lian Yang became genuinely angry. There are some people who always sacrifice ordinary people for their own ambitions. Are they really above all else?

Shaking her head, Tana said, "Actually, I've been trying to figure out how Price could be manipulated by Sam. Even among the ancient evil entities, their power shouldn't overwhelm Price, the ruler of the elven realm. Price's power was once almost comparable to Agamemnon's back in the Howling Cave."

As she spoke, Tana suddenly thought of something: "Sam has the aura of the Black Nightmare... Could it be that Sam was also attacked by the Black Nightmare, and that the Black Nightmare gave him that transcendent power?"

Lian Yang asked, "Is there any way to learn about Sam's past?" Lian Yang wasn't actually asking this to find out anything, but rather to get to the sacred Forgotten Forest, the heart of the Anofa Forest. He had to follow the original story; otherwise, he wouldn't have a better excuse to go to the Forgotten Forest.

Sure enough, Tana said, "I also did my research. Aside from a single line in Morgan's ancient texts, I found no other relevant records. But… the ancient elves in the Forgotten Forest might know something. Are you going there? The elves might deliberately make things difficult for you… but I believe you can pass the test. Before you depart, I'll ask an elf to deliver a message to their master there. I don't know if they'll grant my request. Anyway, I wish you a safe journey and a safe return."

"Phew!" Lian Yang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The Forgotten Forest was a special map, and in fact, it had nothing to do with the main quest. However, Lian Yang had to go to the Forgotten Forest because it contained the blessing of the elves, which was an extremely powerful force.
