Chapter 445: Plentiful Rewards
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
It will take about 20 minutes to travel from the bottom of the mountain to the top and monsters will attempt to obstruct on their way up.
However, w.a.n.g Yu"s Adrenaline Pill"s effect will not last more than 20 seconds.
Sensing the decreasing time left of the Adrenaline Pill"s effect, w.a.n.g Yu knew that he was in an increasingly precarious situation.
As a.s.sa.s.sin Lyon saw that w.a.n.g Yu was getting restrained by him, he couldn"t help but feel excited.
"Heh!"
At this moment, the dagger in w.a.n.g Yu"s hand suddenly struck towards the a.s.sa.s.sin directly. WIthout even looking, a.s.sa.s.sin Lyon lifted his wrist to block w.a.n.g Yu.
a.s.sa.s.sin Lyon was far stronger than w.a.n.g Yu. During this clash, w.a.n.g Yu momentarily felt an insane surge of energy coming from the dagger.
"Haha! You"re still nothing but data no matter how smart you are." w.a.n.g Yu laughed out loud as the energy from the a.s.sa.s.sin"s block sent him flying backwards. w.a.n.g Yu simply started running towards the valley.
The triple speed effect would still last for about ten seconds. w.a.n.g Yu made use of the a.s.sa.s.sin"s strength to further increase his speed and distance. In a matter of seconds, w.a.n.g Yu ran to the front of the army of skeletons near the Land of Bone Burying. Afterwards, he simply jumped up and escaped into the depths by stepping on the head of the skeletons.
If the NPC knew how to curse, NPC a.s.sa.s.sin Lyon would have cursed on the spot.
Originally, he thought w.a.n.g Yu would eventually give up after being tortured slowly. Who knew that this kid could be so detestable? To think that he actually threw himself into the crowd of monsters.
a.s.sa.s.sin Lyon was a nimble type BOSS but was only quick in terms of speed. Skills such as leaping onto roofs and vaulting over walls only existed in traditional martial arts games. The game designer would definitely not incorporate such skills into western fantasy games.
Even Pugilist didn"t have skills such as leaping onto roofs and vaulting over walls, let alone a.s.sa.s.sin.
There were simply too many monsters crowding at the Land of Bone Burying. No matter how BOSS the a.s.sa.s.sin was, he would still need some time to clear the path for himself.
Even though there were many monsters, they were all cl.u.s.tered together. Therefore, only a minute few were able to attack w.a.n.g Yu. Moreover, there were less than 20 monsters who could actually use long-range magic attacks.
The magic bullets and attacks of these skeletons were comparatively of less frequency than gamers. Against attacks of 20 ordinary gamers, w.a.n.g Yu was already able to dodge them perfectly. How could these slow and offal skeletons pose any trouble to him?
To w.a.n.g Yu, the combined attacks of 20 low-level skeletons were nothing compared to the vicious attacks of a.s.sa.s.sin Lyon himself.
w.a.n.g Yu stepped on the heads of these skeletons as he moved forward vigorously. Behind him, a.s.sa.s.sin Lyon was swinging his blades around as he tried to pave a way through.
a.s.sa.s.sin Lyon was killing the skeletons at an insane speed but the resp.a.w.n of these skeletons were extremely rapid too. When w.a.n.g Yu reached the white bone altar, a.s.sa.s.sin Lyon had not even covered one-tenth of the distance.
The white bone altar was a restricted area for the skeletons. There were literally no skeletons within five metres radius of himself. w.a.n.g Yu crossed his legs as he sat on the altar and turned to look at the sweaty a.s.sa.s.sin Lyon. He casually opened up his group chat, "Greetings, the two of you."
"F*ck! Brother Bull, you managed to kill that a.s.sa.s.sin?"
Seeing how casual and calm w.a.n.g Yu"s words were, Lone Vagrant Guest had nothing but admiration for w.a.n.g Yu.
What is the true definition of an expert? An expert is someone who can single-handedly take on an Ancient BOSS who is 15 levels above him and still chat so idly with his teammates…
"No, I didn"t. That fella is way too overpowered. I only managed to shake him off for a while. Where are you guys now?" w.a.n.g Yu answered honestly.
"We will still need about ten minutes to reach the peak. You"re okay right?" Lone Vagrant Guest asked.
In Lone Vagrant Guest"s eyes, it was clearly not a small feat to shake off a speedy BOSS like this. He thought that w.a.n.g Yu was struggling to keep up.
w.a.n.g Yu replied, "No hurry, no hurry! Just take your time!"
"..."
w.a.n.g Yu"s words shocked the two of them once more…
As w.a.n.g Yu sat on the altar to chit-chat with the two of them, his health was restoring. After some time, a.s.sa.s.sin Lyon finally arrived at the altar.
"You"re here…"
w.a.n.g Yu greeted a.s.sa.s.sin Lyon when he saw that he finally arrived here. After greeting him, he started running and jumped after bypa.s.sing a.s.sa.s.sin Lyon. He stepped on the mountain walls and started running towards mountain valley again.
a.s.sa.s.sin Lyon saw this and his whole body twitched. He almost lost grip of his dagger and after getting hold of it firmly, a.s.sa.s.sin Lyon started swinging his arms around to clear the path of skeletons again.
At this point in time, Lone Vagrant Guest and One Page Book had already climbed up the Dusk Peak. The altar scene at the peak of the mountain was different again.
After getting rid of the monsters at the top of the mountain, Lone Vagrant Guest and One Page Book walked over to the position of the altar. One Page Book opened the altar by revealing the hexagram on her hand. Lone Vagrant Guest placed the Heart of Darkness on the altar as he took out the Dagger of Seal to insert it ruthlessly.
Concurrently, the millions of skeletons disappeared in the instant the Heart of Darkness was sealed. a.s.sa.s.sin Lyon cried out devastatingly before dropping a few items. After that, he turned into black fog.
Group dungeon quest required the group to pay a certain fee to enter the quest. Currently, there was only one level 30 dungeon quest for the Light Faction. 1% earning was considerably impressive.
Besides these, the three of them also received all sorts of reward notifications.
"You"ve successfully stopped the resuscitation of the Sixth Apostle, fame +1000."
"You"ve killed a.s.sa.s.sin Lyon, a.s.sa.s.sin a.s.sociation Merit Points +200 and is currently regarded as highly esteemed."
"You"ve sealed the Heart of Darkness, Light Faction merit points +200 and is currently regarded as being loathed."
"Your heroic achievement will pa.s.s from person to person. Neutral Faction Merit Points +100 and is currently being respected."
"You"ve completed an S grade hidden quest, "Altar At the Peak". Reward: Killer"s job change token x1."
…
A series of rewards were awarded to them. The list was so long that they needed some time just to scroll down.
Even though fame and merit points didn"t seem like it mattered much now, it will be extremely beneficial in the future. Lone Vagrant Guest was especially excited because of the S grade rewards.
"F*ck! It is actually a Clone a.s.sa.s.sin Job Change Scroll. We"ve made it big this time around…" Lone Vagrant Guest sent a message in the group to show off his rewards.
Clone a.s.sa.s.sin Job Change Scroll: With this scroll, head to the City of Chaos to find Monster Thief Orchid Bud to complete the branch job Clone a.s.sa.s.sin job change quest.
According to the job description of the scroll, the three of them found out that Clone a.s.sa.s.sin"s talent was the ability to create two clones with 50% of one"s own attributes to aid in a fight. This was a branch job perfect for rogue players.
"I have one too." One Page Book refused to be outdone as she took out her reward too.
Element a.s.sa.s.sin Job Change Scroll: With this scroll, head to Land of Dwellers to find Magic Thief Kaili to complete the branch job quest.
Element a.s.sa.s.sin could learn low or intermediate level magic to aid a fight. This was equivalent to a double cultivation of magic and physics. It was a rather decent branch job too.
"Brother Bull, what about you? Take it out for us to have a look at it. Is it a branch job for Pugilist?" Lone Vagrant Guest asked out of curiosity.
w.a.n.g Yu sent the descriptions to the group, "It"s a Thief one…"
