Chapter 238: Angela’s Curse
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
Viper Valley was the area that the Hurricane Cavern dungeon was located in, it was a hunting ground that was filled with snake type monsters. These monsters were hard to deal with for the simple fact that there wasn"t much high grade antidotes available in the market. The Sanguine Alliance would have to spend a vast amount of gold to complete this headquarters defense quest.
But the number of monsters that a guild would face during their headquarters defense quest scaled according to the number of players that they brought along for the quest. Furthermore, they could only have a maximum of two other guilds to help them in this quest. Even if they added all the people that were allied to them, they would only have one thousand five hundred players.
This t.i.tle deed presented quite a big problem for Sanguine Warflag.
"I already told you, you might not get the exact t.i.tle deed that you want..." Fearless sighed.
"Ah..."Sanguine Warflag"s would had instantly plummeted and was feeling very depressed: "Why am I so unlucky..."
"Well that"s your own problem, but you better pay us the complete amount you owe us, understand?" Fearless asked.
"Yes, I will pay you the full amount..." Sanguine Warflag muttered as his expression darkened even more.
"That"s great!" Fearless grinned: "Since you"ve been so generous, why don"t I teach you a method that will help you reduce the number of casualties to the minimum?"
"What"s the method?" Sanguine Warflag"s face lighted up in antic.i.p.ation.
"Put this t.i.tle deed in the auction and use the money to buy another one!"
"Well since it"s a trade, then I might as well wait for some other guild to get a t.i.tle deed of their own before trading it with them!" Sanguine Warflag said.
"Er... Do you think that anyone would actually want the t.i.tle deed to Viper Valley?" Fearless asked.
"Of course not!" Sanguine Warflag replied in an as-a-matter-of-fact way, scoffing at Fearless: "I"ll definitely conquer this place!"
"Well you can"t be that certain. Do you think an idiot like you can actually succeed?" Fearless mocked.
"Hey..." Sanguine Warflag growled as his expression darkened even more.
Meanwhile, w.a.n.g Yu had completely ignored the argument between the two and had already looted the next item.
The second item was a simple green colored box, it"s attributes were very simple
"Huh? What"s the meaning of this..." Fearless muttered as he looked at the item description.
This was the first time in all his years of gaming that Fearless had seen such a unique item.
"Mine! Ha ha ha!" w.a.n.g Yu guffawed as he opened the box.
"Shua!"
Just as the box opened, a green colored liquid sprung out, landing on w.a.n.g Yu"s face.
"What the f*ck!"
w.a.n.g Yu immediately brandished his Universe Sword, knocking the green liquid off his face.
The liquid vaporized into a tiny poison mist when it touched the floor, corroding a five metre hole in the ground.
"What the f*ck, that was too devious. How dare she try to kill me even after she died!" w.a.n.g Yu angrily cursed.
Fortunately his reaction was fast, otherwise he would definitely have been poisoned to death.
"Angela"s Curse... it was definitely not something good. Speaking of which, why do you always get these sorts of weird things?" Fearless quipped.
"How should I know!" w.a.n.g Yu retorted, reaching out to loot Angela"s corpse once more.
What kind of Gold grade boss was this? The t.i.tle deed that she dropped was less than desirable and the second item that came from her corpse had almost killed w.a.n.g Yu...
Fortunately the last item was a Gold tier equipment.

w.a.n.g Yu was very pleased with skills on this dagger. But because w.a.n.g Yu and Sanguine Warflag had already acquired something from this boss, this dagger naturally went to Fearless.
"Since I was tricked just now, how can you guys say that everyone got something out of this boss..." w.a.n.g Yu dejectedly asked.
"F*ck off, you already took Angela"s Curse... it"s not like a Pugilist can use a dagger, what do you even want it for?"
"I could have killed Angela much faster if I had a dagger just now!" w.a.n.g Yu grumbled.
"Don"t you already have your own weapon?" Fearless asked as he pointed at w.a.n.g Yu"s universe sword, before gasping in shock: "Huh? What happened to your sword? It looks different!"
"Looks different?" w.a.n.g Yu quickly looked down, only to see that his precious sword had been corroded and decay. It looked as though it had aged a thousand years and even its attributes had changed.
Physical Attack: 1-1
Magic Attack: 1-1
(Unuseable)
"What the f*ck happened to my sword!" w.a.n.g Yu cried out.
This was w.a.n.g Yu"s favorite weapon in the game! Yet it had been destroyed the first time he had used it, how could he not be sad?
"I think it must have changed because of Angela"s Curse... I guess you could consider this as a treasure too and just hang it up somewhere..." Fearless tried to consol w.a.n.g Yu.
"F*ck! If I had known that it would corrode my weapon, I would have just died instead!" w.a.n.g Yu sighed.
He could always resp.a.w.n, but this weapon was one of a kind.
"Don"t be too sad, this weapon just looks like it"s rusted abit, it"s not like it"s completely destroyed. Why don"t you try repairing it somewhere?" Fearless asked.
"Where should I go?"
"To the blacksmith…" Fearless replied.
"Alright! I"ll go there once we"re back in Twilight City!" w.a.n.g Yu nodded.
Even after the dungeon was cleared and he had gotten his hands on a t.i.tle deed, Sanguine Warflag"s expression was still very grave. But he still had to honour his promise to Fearless and pay him accordingly.
"If you have any difficulties in the future, you can still come and look for us! I"ll definitely do my best to help you guys" w.a.n.g Yu smiled as he took the bag of gold off Sanguine Warflag"s hands.
Despite their previous conflicts with the Sanguine Alliance, w.a.n.g Yu did have a genuinely good impression of Sanguine Warflag.
"Really?" Sanguine Warflag gasped.
"For the right price of course!" Fearless interjected.
"Oh..." Sanguine Warflag sighed.
