T/n: For Every 100 Power Stone 1+ Chapter ( I hope I don't regret it and get burned out!! XD)
-----
Of the last four tasks set by the system, only the final one remained: the task to slay the Ender Dragons.
Lin Tian was quite curious. What would the system be like after the update was complete?
It would be best if he could obtain new mods without having to complete tasks. Although the benefits of following someone else's orders were great for him, for the person he was now, it was somewhat irksome.
To put it simply, Lin Tian had grown stronger and was getting a bit conceited!
Without much hesitation, Lin Tian once again took out the End Crystals and began to place them. He had only killed one so far; to complete the mission, he still needed to kill nine more!
While Lin Tian was busy, in the system space within his mind, a loli-like girl with snow-white hair, a rather cute face, and sapphire-like eyes sat on a large bed, puffing her cheeks as she looked at the screen before her.
And on the screen was the very scene of Lin Tian placing End Crystals!
"Hmph~, the host is a big meanie! I've helped him so much, and he still resents me! Hmph!"
The girl's face was full of dissatisfaction. She hugged her white-stockinged short legs as she sat cross-legged on the bed, rocking back and forth.
Below the large bed, countless gray masses exuded malice, and faint roars could be heard coming from within.
The girl on the bed grew impatient listening to them. She stomped her little foot, causing the whole bed to shake, and the roars vanished.
But not even ten minutes later, the roars began to gradually rise again, though the sound was much quieter.
Noticing the roars had returned, the girl's face was filled with helplessness. Ever since she first bonded with Lin Tian, she had been suppressing these strange mods every day. Otherwise, how could Lin Tian have been lucky enough to unlock good mods every time?
"Keeping them suppressed isn't a long-term solution. It's like this every day, it's so noisy!"
Although these strange mods didn't affect her, being like this every day had a huge impact on her sleep!
A good night's sleep is the most important thing for a woman! Disturbing her sleep was practically killing her skin!
Looking at Lin Tian on the screen, who was in the process of summoning the third Ender Dragon, a mischievous smile appeared on the girl's face.
"For the good of this system's skin, I can only make you suffer a little, host! You've already unlocked the Sword of the Cosmos anyway."
The girl muttered, the mischievous smile on her face growing more and more pronounced.
...
Holding the Sword of the Cosmos and preparing to one-shot the Ender Dragon that was diving right after being resurrected, Lin Tian's body suddenly trembled. In that split second of error, he was sent flying by the Ender Dragon.
"Tian!"
Seeing Lin Tian knocked away by the Ender Dragon, Mitsuri Kanroji's eyes widened in fury. She took out a Swiftness Ring from the transmutation table, took off from the ground, and swung the Red Matter Knuckle Blade with all her might at the Ender Dragon. The dragon was instantly sent to heaven.
(Ender Dragon: 'Seriously~! A group of people coming at me with divine artifacts? Am I worthy?')
"Tian, are you okay?"
Mitsuri Kanroji held Lin Tian suspended in the air, asking with a concerned face.
"Uh, I'm fine, Mitsuri. Hurry and put me down, this is so embarrassing!"
Lin Tian's face was slightly red as he struggled out of Mitsuri Kanroji's embrace.
He had actually taken out his Swiftness Ring the moment he was hit, but he just hadn't reacted in time. He didn't expect Mitsuri Kanroji to have already dealt with the Ender Dragon.
[Silly Girl: That was a close call! I can't believe Lin Tian was suddenly knocked away!]
[God's Tongue: It seemed like Lin Tian suddenly zoned out just now. Did something happen?]
[I Am Just a Passerby: No idea? I didn't see anything?]
[I Love Frying Pans: At least everyone is safe and sound, so it's not a big problem.]
...
"Tian!"
"Brother Lin Tian!"
"Mr. Lin Tian!"
As soon as Lin Tian and Mitsuri Kanroji returned to the group of girls, Shinobu Kocho and the others surrounded them, looking at Lin Tian with worried faces.
"Everyone, I'm fine. I just got distracted for a moment, that's why I was hit by the Ender Dragon."
Seeing everyone so concerned about him, Lin Tian felt a warmth in his heart.
Hearing Lin Tian's explanation, although it was a bit strange, the group didn't press the issue. As long as he was okay, that was all that mattered.
In the system space.
The loli-like girl looked at what had just happened with a puzzled expression. 'Did he hear my complaints? Or did he sense my ill intentions?'
'No! Impossible! I've never appeared before Lin Tian, he doesn't even know I exist. I always use Xiao Tie to issue tasks and rewards.'
'Could it be!'
The girl thought of a possibility, and her face couldn't help but blush. Her pupils turned into heart shapes, her right hand...
'Could it be that the host and I are connected by heart? That's... wonderful!!!'
Right hand..., until..., countless... came out.
"..."
The girl..., looking at Lin Tian's face on the screen, ....
"It's a pity the host's first time has already been taken, but it doesn't matter, he'll be mine in the end anyway."
...
Lin Tian felt another chill run down his spine. He looked around but found nothing, only the girls beside him and the surrounding Endermen.
"Tian, what's wrong?"
Seeing Lin Tian cautiously scanning his surroundings, Shinobu Kocho had a look of confusion. She looked around as well, but there didn't seem to be anything there.
"No, it's nothing. I probably just didn't sleep well!"
Lin Tian said casually, then stopped paying attention to that feeling. He took out an End Crystal and prepared to continue summoning the Ender Dragon.
The fourth one, killed with a single slash.
...
The sixth one, killed by Mitsuri Kanroji with the Red Matter Knuckle Blade.
...
The eighth one, killed by Shinobu Kocho.
...
Finally, it was the tenth one!
Lin Tian looked at the Ender Dragon soaring in the sky, his expression excited. He had finally reached the tenth one! As long as he killed this one, all ten tasks would be complete!
However, he spent a full three minutes in a stalemate with this dragon. The tenth Ender Dragon just wouldn't come down, continuously spraying Dragon's Breath from the sky, which was incredibly annoying for Lin Tian and the others.
[Wandering the Mortal Realm: This Ender Dragon is very smart; it won't come down to its death.]
[Flat Face: Could it have gained sentience? Otherwise, why does it keep flying in the sky?]
[Silly Girl: No, the creatures in that world won't gain sentience. It's just a coincidence. They can't all just perform a Dragon God Dive every time they appear, right?]
[Super True Newbie: Dragon God Dive, well-phrased.]
[I Love Frying Pans: But it looks like Lin Tian is getting impatient. He's already taken out the Swiftness Ring.]
[Mad Love for Hashirama: Wouldn't it have been better to use the Swiftness Ring earlier?]
And just as Wolffy said, Lin Tian had grown impatient. He took out the Swiftness Ring and flew up from where he stood, heading towards the Ender Dragon.
Flying right up to the Ender Dragon, Lin Tian took out the Sword of the Cosmos and cut it down with one strike.
Returning to the girls' side and watching the Ender Dragon gradually disintegrate, Lin Tian finally heard the system's voice.
"Ding!"
