Chaos Lord: Infinite Guidance

Chapter 4 Coffin-Carrying Guards

"Two and a half stars already! Next time I might get three stars! Haha, regular players can only recruit three-star units with low-level recruitment tokens, but I might get a three-star hero! How exciting!"

Wang Jue was overjoyed.

The Mad Dog King standing in front of him looked the same as before, but he was holding a large golden ring sword in each hand. The sword was 1.2 meters long, with a bright and shiny edge. The widest part of the blade was more than a palm's width, and nine golden rings were on the back of the blade. The Mad Dog King, who was 1.9 meters tall, looked very majestic and domineering as he held these two swords.

"Good, very good, very imposing! The symmetrical twin swords look pleasing too!"

Wang Jue nodded, and then immediately communicated with the system to start the third phase of the prologue battle.

"Ding! Phase three has begun. Please defend against the attack of 100 crazed little fishmen!"

"Crazy Little Fishman? Judging from the name, he's an agile type?"

Wang Jue immediately looked around and soon spotted the crazy little fishman jumping out of the chaotic star sea.

These crazy little fishmen are completely different from the catfish-like fishmen we saw before. They have four limbs, lie prone, and have open mouths revealing a set of messy, saw-like teeth. They can crawl very fast and even jump.

The sight of them reminded Wang Jue of piranhas, and he couldn't help but shudder.

He dared to kick the little fishman and punch the big fishman, but he didn't want to touch these things at all, for fear of being bitten.

"Mad Dog King, protect the king!"

Wang Jue shouted and ran towards Mad Dog King.

"Grandpa is asking you, money or your life!"

Mad Dog King roared, and the words "Mad Dog's Deadly Combo Blade" appeared above his head. He then brandished his twin blades, swish, swish, swish...

Deadly Chain Blade, a series of deadly strikes!

"Chop the meat!"

"Wind and Fire Wheels!"

"Big windmill!"

Mad Dog King shouted from time to time. He was like a machine out of control, extremely violent, wielding his two large golden ring swords at lightning speed.

Crazy Little Fishman was also fearless, seemingly drawn to Mad Dog King's hatred, and charged towards him madly.

Thus, when Mad Dog King, wielding two golden ring swords, faced the crazed Little Fishman, it was a chaotic massacre.

Wang Jue was in a bit of a mess. Although he took the initiative to seek cover and most of the crazy little fishmen were attracted by Mad Dog King, he was still chased up and down by the scattered crazy little fishmen.

"Damn it, can't a noble Chaos Lord at least offer some shelter?"

Wang Jue cursed, he didn't dare to be distracted at all, he didn't even have time to pick up the extra coins that Mad Dog King had printed.

A moment later, the system broadcast sounded: "Ding, area announcement: Congratulations to player Gu Dali for being the first to complete the third stage of the prologue battle! You will receive an extra resource chest as a reward!"

"It's Gu Dali again! He got the treasure chest this time. He's getting ahead from one step to the next; his snowball is getting bigger and bigger!"

Wang Jue muttered something to himself. He glanced around and saw that his side had made visible progress. There weren't many Crazy Fishmen left, and he estimated that they would all be wiped out in another minute or two. The gap had been closed considerably.

Just as Wang Jue had predicted, in less than two minutes, the last crazy little fishman was cut into white light by Mad Dog King.

Immediately, Wang Jue received a system notification: "Ding, congratulations on successfully repelling the attack of the Crazy Little Fishman and completing the third stage of the prologue battle. The fourth stage will automatically begin in ten minutes. You can end your preparations early, and the fourth stage will begin immediately!"

"Ding, reward calculation is now in progress..."

Before the system notification could finish, Wang Jue shouted, "I choose soul power! I choose soul power! I choose soul power!"

This time, the system reward was the same as before, offering a choice of one of four options. Wang Jue once again received 100 points of soul power.

Where is the Mad Dog King?!

As soon as his soul power arrived, Wang Jue summoned Mad Dog King and simultaneously used [Infinite Guidance]. He said, "Mad Dog King, your swordsmanship is quite good, but you must guard against arrogance and impetuosity, continue practicing martial arts, and strive to advance to a first-class master or even a top-tier master. And most importantly, you must learn to protect me. If I, the lord, am finished, you will be finished too. Protecting me is your first task, understand?"

Mad Dog King nodded as if he understood, and said, "Grandpa is asking you, money or your life!"

"Damn it, that line of yours is just asking for a beating!"

Wang Jue shook his head, and then received a system notification: "Ding, guidance successful!"

"Ding! The outlaw Mad Dog King, after your guidance, has suddenly become enlightened. In addition to robbing people on the road and studying swordsmanship, he has begun to think about how to protect the weak who are powerless. From then on, every time he went out to rob, he would bring a henchman who did not know martial arts with him. Since the henchman was often beaten to death, he gradually got into the habit of carrying a coffin on his back before going out, so that if the henchman was beaten to death, he could be buried in the coffin on the spot."

Three years passed in a flash. Mad Dog King became the leader of Er Gou Mountain, renowned for his prowess. However, due to excessive distractions, his martial arts skills had limited progress, and he remained a second-rate martial arts master. He did, however, develop a unique method for carrying coffins to hide people.

"Ding! The troop type of the outlaw Mad Dog King has changed from Warrior to Guardian, and his loyalty has increased by 2!"

After the system notification sounded, a vermilion coffin appeared upright on Mad Dog King's back.

His information panel automatically popped up in front of Wang Jue. His skills and lines were unchanged, his star rating was still two and a half stars, his troop type changed from warrior to guard, and he gained a special ability: [Coffin Carrier].

[Coffin Bearer: Mad Dog King's self-created protection method involves hiding the target he's protecting inside a coffin and carrying it on his back. This doesn't hinder combat and effectively protects the target from harm. Note: After Mad Dog King dies in battle, the protected target will fall out of the coffin.]

"Holy crap!" Wang Jue exclaimed, "Mad Dog Wang, you're a fucking genius!"

He immediately realized that in the upcoming battle, he would probably be put into a coffin by the Mad Dog King.

"Such tight protection! Oh well, staying alive is the most important thing. So be it, as long as I'm not buried!"

Wang Jue shook his head and sighed. There were still some coins around that hadn't been picked up yet, but he wasn't in a hurry to pick them up. In order to save time, he immediately communicated with the system and started the fourth stage of the prologue battle.

"Ding! The fourth phase of the prologue has begun. Murloc warriors are about to invade your territory. Prepare your defenses!"

After the system broadcast ended, Wang Jue heard a cry of surprise. Looking in the direction of the sound, he saw a giant fish-man about two meters tall leap out of the chaotic star sea. This fish-man was more human-like in size than the giant fish-man. It had thick limbs, a carp-like face, and large eyes that bulged out of their sockets like light bulbs. It was even holding a large cleaver in its hand.

"What is this thing? A carp spirit? A Benbo'erba?"

Wang Jue exclaimed in surprise. Just from his appearance, he could tell that this guy was not easy to deal with.

At this moment, Mad Dog King slammed the coffin behind him upright on the ground with a loud bang, then opened the coffin lid like opening a refrigerator. He didn't say any lines, but pointed at the coffin with his chin and winked at Wang Jue.

"Damn it..."

Wang Jue immediately understood. He shook his head and walked into the coffin, complaining, "Hey dog, your coffin is pretty high-class, it even has a side-opening door!"

Mad Dog King did not respond to Wang Jue, and with a bang, the coffin lid closed.

Wang Jue's vision went black. Inside the coffin, he couldn't see what was happening outside. He couldn't help but shout, "Don't forget to let me out after the battle!"
