Chapter 63: End of the Forest, Demon Soul King!
As he went offline very late, he washed up and went to bed.
After waking up the next day, he charged into the Dark Forest and began his journey to kill monsters.
The monsters in the Dark Forest had basically not changed much. Most of them were level 13-15 elite monsters. To Lorne, there was no difference between them.
Therefore, the following battles were very victorious.
The next day.
On the third day…
On the fourth day…
For four days, Lorne did not leave the forest.
Every day, his mission was the same.
Yet, it was not dull for Lorne.
This was because his reputation as an elf was rising non-stop. It was too good to gain 10,000 points per day.
During this period of time, something else also happened in the main city.
Firstly, the first clear of the Bronze-Grade Boss was taken away.
A large guild had organized a large team of more than 500 people. They spent more than two hours and finally obtained the first clear of a Bronze-Grade Boss.
Other than that, the level of the main city players also reached a new stage yesterday.
The first player on the leaderboard, [Fire Beacon], had reached Level 21. The other players on the leaderboard were also chasing closely. All of them had reached Level 20.
However, after Level 20, the players’ leveling speed was much slower.
Their levels increased too quickly, causing the quality of their equipment and skill levels to be unable to support their strength. Therefore, the speed of leveling up after Level 20 showed a trend of slowing down collectively.
At this moment, many recruitment posts appeared on the game forum.
Most of them were issued by large corporations.
They treated the current Level 20 players as the dividing line of the top players.
All the players who could raise their levels to Level 20 during this period of time were cla.s.sified as top players. Their value had also greatly increased during this period of time. An annual income of five million was the most basic amount.
Of course, there were also people who offered to recruit Lorne.
As someone who had cleared the Nightmare Dungeon in a high-profile manner, his value had increased to a terrifying level.
Most of the financial groups offered an annual salary of 50 million, and the highest offered an annual salary of 100 million, as well as an additional position of vice-chairman.
This salary was dazzling.
Unfortunately, Lorne did not care.
With the experience of earning 4.6 million dollars one day, this life of being commanded by others could no longer attract him.
…
Ding!
“Congratulations on killing the demonized bear, Elf Reputation+10.”
Ding!
“Due to your Elf Race Reputation reaching 40,000 points, the elves’ att.i.tude towards you has changed!”
When the fourth night arrived, Lorne received another system notification that his Elf Reputation had reached 40,000 points.
If other players saw this scene, they would probably be stunned.
90% of them did not even have more than 400 reputation points in the Human Empire, but Lorne had raised his reputation with the elves to 40,000 at this moment. It was unbelievable.
At the same time, after so many days and countless battles, the affinity between Lorne and Mayra also increased to 290.
Unlike the previous two days, when the affinity level increased to 200 points, it became very difficult to obtain. So, by the fourth night, it did not exceed 300 points.
As for the experience points, he did not obtain any for four days.
Fortunately, there was another mission that recorded more than 4,000 kills. If he handed in the mission, he should be able to obtain a decent reward.
“It seems that the dungeon is about to be cleared.”
Lorne glanced at the map. According to the information on it, they were already in the final area. As long as they cleaned up the first part, they could reach the vicinity of Iron Skull City.
Thinking of this, Lorne stretched.
After exploring the forest for several days, he was more mentally exhausted than physically.
Fortunately, with the company of the beautiful elven girls, and seeing the reputation points on his interface, Lorne felt that all this time had been worth it.
Huff—
With a sigh, Lorne moved on.
This time, he let Little Mantis act as a scout alone to check the situation of the last part of the map.
With the help of the shared view from his pets, Lorne did not see any monsters in the area.
But soon, he realized that his eyes had deceived him.
When the team entered this region, suddenly!
The entire forest turned dark.
Countless black fog began to gather in front of him and gradually circle.
Seeing this scene, the elves all looked over, their eyes showing extreme panic.
Ding!
“Warning! Due to the large amount of abyssal aura on the elves, it attracted the souls of all the monsters wandering in the forest. They gathered together and became extremely terrifying monsters!”
“Game Announcement: A Hidden Boss has been born near you. Kill it and you will receive a generous reward!”
Hidden Boss?
Lorne looked at the Boss in front of him. It floated in the air, its entire body formed from black fog. At first glance, it looked like an evil wizard in a cloak. On the head that could not be seen clearly, there was a pair of flickering scarlet soul flames. It looked very strange.

[Demon Soul King]
Grade: Boss
Level: 15
HP: 85,000 / 85,000
Magic Attack: 400-520
Physical Defense: 150
Magic Defense: 150
Skills: [Soul Shock], [Demon Soul Summoning], [Painful Howl], [Soul Body]
Introduction: The souls of the dead who died in the dark forest in the past gradually swelled because they could not be freed. In the end, under the attraction of the dark power, all the souls merged together, becoming a demon soul king with countless negative emotions gathered.
————
For an ordinary Level 15 Boss, its attributes could only be considered ordinary.
Although it was stronger than the undead mage in the dungeon in all aspects, Lorne’s pets were not all Level 10 at that time.
Therefore, comparatively speaking, Lorne felt more relaxed against a Boss of this level.
However, this Boss did not attack immediately.
Instead, it looked at Lorne with doubt and fear in its eyes.
