Chapter 2

"50 gold coins for the hire, please pay first!"

Seeing that Chen Bing was not moved, Elsa repeated it.

"Here you go."

There was no point in hesitating, so Chen Bing took out 50 gold coins and handed them to Elsa's fair, small hand.

Elsa's eyes lit up as she took the shiny gold coins.

Raising her staff, Elsa diligently cast a healing spell on the War Angel, then, in front of Chen Bing, carefully counted the gold coins one by one before carefully putting them into her pocket, leaving Chen Bing speechless.

No wonder she was summoned by the Lamp Spirit; her love for gold was no less than the Lamp Spirit's!

"Rest assured, with me here, I guarantee he won't die!"

Elsa, who had previously been cold, now showed a pair of dimples on her round face and gave Chen Bing a sweet smile, patting her undeveloped chest to assure him, her attitude much improved.

One of Elsa's life principles was to treat her employer like a god! (Note: An employer who has already paid, of course!)

Healing spells were released from Elsa's hands, enveloping the War Angel.

The War Angel's health had been dropping rapidly, but with Elsa's help, it stabilized immediately.

Chen Bing watched for a moment, confirming that Elsa's healing ability was indeed powerful.

A rough estimate showed that Elsa's skill level was only Master, but with various powerful healing buffs from her equipment and methods, her healing effect was no less than that of a Grandmaster, and her skills cooled down very quickly.

The Six-Winged War Angel came with a fierce momentum, but was unexpectedly beaten to a pulp by the Lich King and couldn't leave Chen Bing behind. With Elsa's support, the Six-Winged War Angel, holding its breath, launched a frenzied counterattack, dealing damage in the tens of thousands to the Lich King, causing his health to plummet.

"Damn cleric!"

The Lich King Nordlin was furious, and a bone spear suddenly shot towards Elsa.

Elsa was taken aback; she had been controlling her hate, but didn't expect the Lich King to suddenly attack her. She didn't have time to dodge.

Not only that, the bone spear exploded mid-air, turning into dozens of sharp bone spikes.

Elsa's health was only 50,000, and being hit by so many bone spikes would instantly kill her.

"Block!"

At the critical moment, Chen Bing took out a large black shield, taller than a person, and blocked it in front of Elsa.

Clang, clang, clang...

A series of rapid impacts sounded, and all the bone spikes were blocked by Chen Bing, leaving Elsa unharmed.

"Go behind the tree to heal, be careful. I won't be able to block for you next time."

Chen Bing quickly pulled Elsa to hide behind a large tree.

His profession was not a knight or a shield warrior, but a berserker. The block was a built-in skill of the black shield, with a 5-minute cooldown. Due to his lack of shield specialization, Chen Bing had a doubled cooldown penalty, so he couldn't use it again for 10 minutes and couldn't block attacks for Elsa anymore.

"That guy is unreasonable, attacking randomly!"

Elsa complained.

"He's the Lich King, and you're a priest. What kind of reason do you expect? Be careful and don't give him another chance."

Chen Bing said irritably.

Elsa had a point; with the War Angel's output, she shouldn't have pulled the Lich King's hate so quickly.

It could only be said that the Lich King was not an ordinary boss and couldn't be judged by normal standards.

Without Chen Bing saying much, after being attacked once, Elsa became extremely cautious.

When her skills were off cooldown, she first cautiously peeked out to confirm that the Lich King's attention was not on her, then quickly went out to cast a few spells on the War Angel and retreated behind the tree.

If the Lich King angrily stared at her, she immediately retreated behind the tree, not taking any risks.

As a result, the War Angel's health began to drop again.

But Elsa, having been paid and given Chen Bing a guarantee, was very professional.

When she saw the War Angel's health drop dangerously low, she would grit her teeth and stare down the Lich King, quickly coming out to cast a couple of healing spells on the War Angel.

However, her movements were very cautious, and if the Lich King made any move to attack her, she would immediately retreat behind the tree.

The Lich King was enraged, his health dropping to a dangerous level, and he continuously used his ultimate skills on the War Angel.

In comparison, the War Angel looked much weaker.

With Elsa's help in healing, the War Angel's health was low, but to Chen Bing's surprise, the War Angel rarely used its ultimate skills, completely falling behind. Chen Bing again criticized the War Angel as a weakling.

"Sea of Bones!"

With little health left, the Lich King roared furiously, and hundreds of bone spears shot out from the ground, piercing towards the War Angel in the sky.

The War Angel's health was down to 10%, and under the Lich King's Sea of Bones attack, it would be instantly killed no matter what method it used to defend.

The Lich King had already calculated that as long as he could kill the War Angel, even if he was left with only a bit of health, he wouldn't fear Chen Bing.

"I've been waiting for you!"

"Divine Protection!"

Chen Bing was worried that the War Angel would be killed, but the War Angel, which had been performing poorly, finally used a powerful ultimate skill.

A golden light bloomed on the Six-Winged War Angel, and the damage from the hundreds of bone spears that hit him was greatly reduced.

Despite the large number of bone spears, the War Angel's health dropped to just a little bit, but the last bit of health wouldn't decrease any further.

One of the effects of Divine Protection was to make the War Angel invincible when near death!

In the invincible state, the War Angel withstood all of the Lich King's attacks and fiercely attacked the Lich King.

Large damage numbers piled up on the Lich King's head, and his health plummeted.

Chen Bing had been waiting for the moment just before the Lich King was killed. If the Lich King was killed by the War Angel, he wouldn't drop anything, but if Chen Bing could land the final blow, the Lich King might drop some good items.

But seeing the ground full of bone spears, Chen Bing broke out in a cold sweat and didn't dare to move.

Even a few bone spears from the Lich King would be enough to take him down.

"Damn invader, even if I die, I won't let you advance any further!"

Faced with the invincible War Angel, the Lich King was ultimately no match. In his final moments, he roared in defiance.

A black light floated out from Nordlin's chest, changed direction, and rushed towards Chen Bing.

Damn! A tracking attack!

However, tracking attacks weren't completely unavoidable. Chen Bing quickly moved backward.

Elsa immediately moved away from Chen Bing, her eyes shining as she watched him.

Damn, this girl clearly wanted to wait for him to be killed and then loot his body!

The black light rushed towards Chen Bing, and he ran to another tree, waiting for the black light to arrive.

Seeing the black light about to hit him, Chen Bing rolled behind the tree.

The black light changed direction, continued to track, and hit the tree.

But Chen Bing didn't have time to be happy; the black light was about to pierce through the gray tree.

Hearing the sound, Chen Bing was startled, knowing that the tree couldn't stop the black light.

At this point, it was too late to escape.

But Chen Bing had one last move. As the black light pierced through the tree, he shouted, "Summon!"

The Six-Winged War Angel was summoned by Chen Bing and blocked in front of him.

The black light pierced into the War Angel's body.

"Despicable guy!"

The Six-Winged War Angel glared at Chen Bing, and with a thud, fell to the ground.

When the black light was tracking Chen Bing, the War Angel's invincible state had already ended. Elsa, waiting to loot Chen Bing's body, didn't help the War Angel heal anymore. The War Angel, summoned by Chen Bing as a shield, was hit by the black light and lost its last bit of health.

"Haha, I didn't mean to!"

Chen Bing laughed. He just wanted the War Angel to be a shield, not to kill it.

But since it was dead, Chen Bing couldn't waste it.

Before the body disappeared, Chen Bing used a Grandmaster-level harvesting skill on the Six-Winged War Angel, and a shiny crystal appeared in his hand.

[System: Obtained 'Angel Crystal'!]

[Item: Angel Crystal]

[Type: Special Consumable]

[Quality: Dark Gold]

[Can be taken home: No]

[Usage: A crystal containing powerful holy energy]

[Description: A crystal formed from the power of a dead angel, with special effects. Be sure not to let the angel race know you have this crystal, or you will face endless pursuit from the angel race!]

Hey, an Angel Crystal, a good item. The Lich King didn't drop anything, but the War Angel made up for it.

Elsa, who had been waiting to loot Chen Bing's body, now ran over, staring at the Angel Crystal in Chen Bing's hand.

Chen Bing glanced at Elsa, who was almost drooling: "Want it?"

"Want it! Give it to me!" Elsa nodded vigorously like a chick pecking.

"Nice try, if you want it, you have to trade for it!"

Chen Bing rolled his eyes. She wanted to loot his body and still expected to get it for free!

"I don't have gold coins!" Elsa immediately tightened her pocket.

"Who wants your gold coins? I want rare items that can be taken home."

Chen Bing facepalmed. This girl was hopeless, but he saw potential in her; she would definitely become a wealthy woman in the future!

"Items that can be taken home... I only have this."

Elsa reluctantly took a seed from her pocket and showed it to Chen Bing.

[Item: Sunflower Seed]

[Type: Plant Seed]

[Quality: Dark Gold]

[Requirement: Advanced Gardening Skill or a worker with the Advanced Gardening Skill]

[Can be taken home: Yes]

[Usage: Plant in suitable soil to grow a sunflower, used for refining advanced potions]

[Description: The Sunflower Seed is said to come from the Sun Temple and has been blessed by the gods, thus possessing powerful healing and blessing effects]

A sunflower seed that can be taken home?

This is a good item!

"Deal, 10 seeds and I'll trade with you."

Chen Bing nodded, extorting Elsa.

"10 seeds? Why? The Sunflower Seed is as rare as the Angel Crystal!"

Elsa widened her eyes in protest.

"Look at how big the Angel Crystal is, and how small one seed is. Even if you use 10 seeds, I'm still at a loss!"

Chen Bing pointed at the Angel Crystal and the Sunflower Seed, acting as if he was doing her a favor.

Elsa was shocked. Items could be compared like this, and people could be so shameless!

It seemed she still needed to work hard to learn!

But...

She was Elsa, the youngest genius of the Sage Village, the future world's strongest priest! She wouldn't bow to evil forces!
