In the spacious arena, Su Lin, clad in enchanted dragon thunder steel armor, wielded an equally enchanted double-bladed dragon thunder steel axe.
He stared majestically at the Enderman trapped on a boat not far away.
He intended to one-shot this thing with a single axe swing.
In the past, even in Netherite armor, he wouldn't willingly deal with something that could teleport, but now—
Dragon Thunder Steel Armor, tough!
Coupled with the brutal damage from a jumping attack with his perfectly enchanted dragon thunder steel axe and the alchemical potions he consumed, if he couldn't one-shot the Enderman, Su Lin would take its surname.
Nodding to Aelita and the others, Su Lin strode towards the Enderman.
As he approached, Su Lin leaped high, his dragon thunder steel axe drawing a purple crescent as it arced towards the Enderman's head.
A excited grin spread across his lips.
"For the glory of the Northern God!"
"Boom!"
A thunderbolt out of a clear sky.
It struck the Enderman squarely on the head, and after a blink of an eye, just a single frame.
The Enderman collapsed in a blaze of fire, and Su Lin too was engulfed in flames.
Like a heroic Dragon Warrior emerging from purgatory.
Aelita watched eagerly, seeing Su Lin, with flames at his feet and a giant axe in hand, majestically running towards them.
She had to admit, that axe swing struck her heart.
According to Elf Race law.
183 years old seemed to be old enough to get married, ah—
This thought only lasted until Su Lin rushed closer.
"Quick, quick, quick! Don't just stand there! Put out the fire for me!"
Only then did Aelita realize that the burning effect that came with the dragon thunder steel axe's weapon special ability was indiscriminate.
As everyone scrambled to extinguish the flames on Su Lin, the little spark that had ignited in Aelita's heart also flickered out.
Watching Su Lin affectionately caress the dragon thunder steel axe, Aelita still couldn't resist the urge to complain.
"You, you rascal—I thought the fire on you just now was from a weapon special ability!"
"From a certain perspective, it really can be considered a weapon special ability."
Looking at Su Lin, who was beaming and showed no signs of fear, Aelita was quite puzzled.
"So you already knew that attacking with dragon thunder steel weapons would summon lightning and set yourself on fire? With your cowardly nature, why would you still use it?"
"Isn't this for experimentation?"
"Tell the truth!"
Su Lin pouted, saying disinterestedly:
"I have a Totem of Undying and a Hydra Heart, and I'm wearing dragon thunder steel equipment; I won't die."
"Of course, the most important reason is only one—
Slinging the dragon thunder steel axe over his shoulder, Su Lin gave a thumbs-up,
"Cool!"
A double-bladed giant axe that summons lightning.
How cool was that? If Su Lin didn't try it once, he'd die with regrets.
Honestly, that awesome attack he just performed, shouting "For the glory of the Northern God," was a highlight, wasn't it?
Su Lin even felt that if he were thrown into the Marvel universe, he could replace Thor.
If Thor, with his Mjolnir that could summon lightning, could be called the Thunder God, why couldn't Su Lin, wielding a dragon thunder steel axe, be called the Thunder God?
To put it bluntly, did that old Thor have a dragon mount?
Lop sighed, feeling a bit tired.
"Nevertheless—Mr. Su Lin, please try to use dragon thunder steel weapons as little as possible—"
Although he wouldn't die, after knowing that the fire on Su Lin wasn't a special effect but actual flames.
Lop was still a little scared.
He already had an unreliable queen as a leader; if even Su Lin started pulling stunts, what would become of his job?
To be honest, Lop still preferred the previous Su Lin, who was good at running away and preserving his life; at least his security work would be very easy.
"Don't worry, I'll only use dragon thunder steel weapons when I want to show off."
Su Lin smiled and put away his axe.
Dragon thunder steel weapons are excellent; lightning damage ignores armor, which is noble true damage, and among the three elemental dragon steel weapons, dragon thunder steel weapons are also considered to have the highest damage.
But this thing also has another name—the ultimate traitor.
It fairly applies a thunderbolt effect to anyone other than the wielder, comes with an indiscriminate burning buff, and easily destroys loot.
It's an internal traitor equipment that is not conducive to unity.
In terms of practicality, dragon frost steel weapons are actually the best.
After all, they are noble control-type weapons.
When fighting most monsters, one hit and one freeze is quite effective.
"So, what about dragon flame steel?"
Hilulele asked curiously. Although she also wanted to use dragon thunder steel weapons, she knew Lop would definitely not allow it.
She couldn't possibly bring a team of firefighters with her every time she went out to fight, could she?
But a dragon frost steel sword was only for control, which didn't fit her identity as a violent queen.
Hilulele still really wanted a weapon that could guarantee invincible output.
"The dragon flame steel sword is also known as the 'ignition blade'; it's a weapon with built-in fire aspect, and its damage is also quite high."
Strictly speaking, the damage of all three swords is similar; it's just about the special effects.
It's just that compared to the other two, which either offer noble control freezing or invincible true damage lightning.
The dragon flame steel sword's effect of only setting things on fire is really a bit mediocre.
Applying Fire Aspect has the same effect, but in the end, Hilulele still took a dragon flame steel axe; she really disliked control-type weapons.
In her opinion, a true woman should fight with a big axe.
Aesthetically, Hilulele and Su Lin were very similar.
There wasn't much work left after that.
After Aelita and the others had all tried the dragon steel weapons, Lop and the others were urged by Su Lin to return to their posts, awaiting the glacier expedition two days later.
This time, the Elf Race also identified the Crypt's bestiary, and then they could enter the era of extensive construction.
One month—this was the time limit Su Lin set for himself and for the Elven Kingdom; within one month, the next module had to be released no matter what.
After completing the dragon steel equipment, Su Lin's ice and fire legend was already finished.
One must look forward.
Only Aelita couldn't sit still and quickly caught up with Su Lin, who was planning to take his dragon for a spin.
"Su Lin, Grandpa Lop and the others all have work, but you haven't assigned me anything yet!"
"As for you—why don't you come for a ride with me?"
Aelita glanced at Su Lin, then added:
"Is there any work that helps with the development of the MC Dungeon?"
...Su Lin rolled his eyes and mounted Nidhogg.
"Come or don't come! If you're really idle, go breed dragons."
Nidhogg flapped its wings and ascended, gradually becoming a small black dot in the sky.
At this moment, Aelita finally reacted.
"Breed… breed?!"
"You hateful guy, why do you always make very meaningful work sound so strange!"
Aelita stomped her feet, gesticulating at the distant Su Lin.
In the end, she still quietly returned to the Dragon Breeding Area to act as a midwife.
MC Dungeon, First Floor.
"Crack!"
Chopping down a blocking jungle wood with an axe, Lawrence, with his messy hair, looked at the wooden roof vaguely visible in the jungle.
"Finally found it!"
Lawrence's old tears flowed freely.
Ever since he made a mistake and was demoted to the first floor, Lawrence had worked almost sleeplessly, searching for the targets Su Lin had given him.
He didn't know how far he had walked, over mountains, across seas, through deserts and glaciers.
Along the way, he had seen Pillager Outposts, Desert Temples, Ocean Monuments, Jungle Temples—
He encountered too many special areas. For the first time, Lawrence felt that the 'one world per floor' concept of the MC Dungeon was a bit unfair.
In this vast world, finding a few special landmarks with touchingly low spawn rates was as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.
Until today, he finally saw the shadow of a Woodland Mansion.
"It's too hard—it's too hard!"
Lawrence was teary-eyed, secretly wiping away bitter tears.
Only he knew the hardships of the journey and his longing for the fourth floor.
In Lawrence's words—
"How can an Elf Race who has seen a dragon willingly return to mediocrity?"
Coming back to his senses, Lawrence urged the Elf Soldiers to quicken their pace, heading straight for the vaguely visible Woodland Mansion.
Paving roads through mountains, building bridges over water.
Finally, after crossing the last hill, Lawrence encountered the Woodland Mansion in the dark, dense forest.
"Finally found it!!!"
Lawrence's accumulated worries dissipated, and he fully released his stress.
But the Elf Race understood him very well.
After all, Lawrence, as a negative example, had been featured in the MC Dungeon's Elf Daily for a week.
After calmly waiting for Lawrence to cool down, an Elf Soldier stepped forward and whispered:
"Elder Lawrence, should we consult Mr. Su Lin?"
The Elf Race originally thought Lawrence would readily agree this time, given previous precedents.
But to their surprise—
Lawrence thought seriously for a moment, then gestured with his hand.
"Bring me my Netherite Sword!"
Again?!
The Elf Race were a bit dumbfounded. After a while, someone mustered the courage to say:
"Elder Lawrence, have you, have you forgotten what happened back then?"
For a moment, Lawrence's face turned as black as charcoal.
Honestly.
That kind of dark history, which would be sung by the Elf Race for countless years, he would remember until he died.
However, this time he was fully prepared.
"Don't worry."
Turning to reassure them, Lawrence said seriously:
"I made thorough preparations before setting out this time. I know these building introductions Mr. Su Lin gave me by heart. There will definitely be no problems this time!"
He paused, then, as if affirming his own confidence, his face was solemn.
"Believe me!"
"This time, we will win!"
