Age of Ascension: Forging an Immortal Realm from Nothing

chapter 5.3 - Sir Wu The Hog Rider (3/4)


On the fourth day, an elite monster appeared.Wu Chi frowned. According to the textbook statistics, 80% of new lords encountered their first elite monster on the tenth day. This was because with each passing day of the "Newbie Trial," the enemies grew stronger. The earlier you encountered an elite, the stronger the monsters that followed would be.But… on second thought, this was only logical.Even without the support of a powerful faction or help from his parents, Wu Chi, the possessor of the [Mechanical Core], was already far beyond his peers. The [Altar] had become the [Red Chamber], his initial 10 Void Crystals had summoned a legendary hero, and the [Arrow Tower] had become the [Fireblast Tower]. His strength was already formidable. It was only natural that the enemies he faced would be far beyond what an ordinary person would encounter."Gotta keep a level head." Wu Chi smiled to himself, his expression calming.Elite monsters were coming from three directions, all of them level 5 Dark Hunters. One direction was covered by the [Fireblast Tower] and the [Fart Tower], so that wasn't a problem for now. The other two directions, however, would require a different approach. After a moment of thought, Wu Chi turned around. "Daiyu, you take one side. I'm going to summon a Steel-Plated Boar and see what it can do."Heroes and soldiers were the lord's power. Taking this opportunity, Wu Chi wanted to see how strong the boars were. They had to be stronger than the militia, right?Lin Daiyu nodded, walking over to the fence and silently watching the monsters in the distance. Over here, Wu Chi opened the [Steel-Plated Hut]'s panel and chose to summon.Void Crystals -5!Steel-Plated Boar +1!The next moment, the hut's gate opened, and a two-meter-tall, burly boar walked out. It was covered in steel armor from head to tail, even its two tusks were forged from steel. It looked incredibly fierce.…[Steel-Plated Boar]Race: Beast.Level: 1.Talent: [Steel Armor] +1.Constitution: 50 (Base 5, 1000% multiplier).Spirit: 1 (Base 0.1, 1000% multiplier).Skill: Savage Charge (Level 1).Description: A delicate and pretty sow, a true beauty among boars.…The size of the Steel-Plated Boar alone was impressive. Looking at its armor, the boar had to weigh at least a thousand pounds. The damage it could inflict by charging with a thousand-pound body was terrifying to imagine. What's more, its Steel Armor talent was a good one.…[Steel Armor] +1Talent Quality: Rare.Attribute: Greatly Increases defense.Description: A suit of steel armor, impervious to blades and spears!…"With my territory's trait, this sow is gonna be a fucking rocket!" Wu Chi nodded in satisfaction."Snort, snort—!"The Steel-Plated Boar came to his side and snorted, nuzzling his leg like a psycho puppy. Wu Chi thought for a moment, his gaze falling to his own longsword. He couldn't help but draw it. "Alright! From now on, your name is Peppa!" he declared. (TL note: if Peppa dies, i will riot!!!)"Today, I shall become a Hog Rider!!"He leaped onto its back and looked south. The east and west were covered by the defense towers and his hero, respectively. Only the monsters from the south were charging in unopposed, full of aggression."Peppa, charge for your master!" Wu Chi pointed his sword.The giant Steel-Plated Boar gathered its strength for a second, then broke into a ferocious run, like a tank kicking into high gear. Utterly majestic!BOOM—!The wind howled past. The monsters had just reached the fence when they saw a massive boar leap into the air, its fat, armored body crashing directly into their ranks.CRUNCH—!Instantly, two elite Dark Hunters were sent flying. Another unlucky one was crushed alive under the boar's feet, its body going limp, about to be trampled to death.Wu Chi was in high spirits. ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ Images of the great warrior Zhao Zilong single-handedly charging through the enemy ranks at the Battle of Changban filled his mind. With a loud cry, he thrust his longsword at a Dark Hunter.WHOOSH—!The blade sliced through the air!CLINK!The longsword… shattered.The Dark Hunter he'd attacked was completely bewildered. It let out a roar and tried to attack Wu Chi, but was immediately sent flying by the Steel-Plated Boar, its arm snapping on impact.On the boar's back, Wu Chi's face went black as he stared at the hilt and broken stump of the sword in his hand."Shit!""SUMMON!"He waved his hand.Void Crystals -20!The gate of the Steel-Plated Hut swung open, and four more equally massive Steel-Plated Boars charged out. They barreled forward, leaped over the fence, and crashed into the monster horde."All units, ALL OUT ATTACK!!" Wu Chi yelled, pointing with his broken sword. "Use [Savage Charge]!"The next moment, the five Steel-Plated Boars paused, then exploded with a ferocious aura and charged straight ahead.CRASH—! CRUNCH—! SPLAT—!The very earth seemed to shake. Over a dozen elite Dark Hunters were sent flying in an instant, a shower of flesh and blood raining down, leaving nothing but a field of mangled limbs and gore.Total annihilation.Riding on the boar's back, Wu Chi looked down at the corpses on the ground and a smirk touched his lips.…"Battle Concluded!""Calculating Results" (TL note: Zhao Zilong (or Zhao Yun, as Zilong is his more famous "style name") is one of the most famous and beloved heroes from Chinese history and literature! He was a real-life military general from way back in the Three Kingdoms period (around year 200~ a little over 1800 years ago!).But his legendary status comes from the epic historical novel, Romance of the Three Kingdoms. In the book, he's portrayed as the absolute perfect warrior: incredibly handsome, impossibly skilled in combat (especially with a spear), fiercely loyal, and unbelievably brave. He's one of the "Five Tiger Generals," a group of his lord's most powerful warriors.The specific moment Wu Chi was thinking of, "seven times in and seven times out at Changban," is Zhao Zilong's most famous story!)
