Chapter 153 (Lightsaber)
“Ding~!”
System Notification: You received the blessing of the Prophet. All your attributes are doubled. All skills’ level increased by five. The effect will last for 24 hours or when the user gets offline!
I was speechlessly surprised. When I opened the Attributes panel, my face was like someone who found a treasure map!
Green Veggies White Jade Soup (Swordsman)
Level: 46
Health: 7830
Attack: 1315-1620 (x110%)
Defense: 1325 (x110%)
Prestige: 15300
Luck: 0
…
1325 Defense, 1620 Attack, and 7830 Health!
What kind of concept was this? Even when the whole body was equipped with the best level 50 orange equipment wouldn’t be like this!
The effect would last for 24 hours, but would disappear once I logged off. Besides, I also didn’t know if I could make it for so long.
The old man panted, “Go quickly! Just be careful.”
I swiftly jumped into the s.p.a.ce rift. The sight in front of me suddenly became even darker.
A broad and long corridor appeared in front of me, and I was standing in the middle of the corridor. All the walls were red. And in the distance, there was a glimmer of faint light.
“Ding~!”
System Notification: You entered the rift corridor. The mission officially starts! Going offline will reduce 3 levels, giving up the mission will decrease your level to 5 levels and lose 5 skills!
f.u.c.k! I was being tricked again!
I suddenly felt very hurt inside and wanted to look for Murong Shan Shan or Lu Xue Han to comfort my wounded soul through their warm shoulders.
No turning back. Going offline now will cause me to lose 3 levels and perhaps also losing my skills. It wasn’t worth it!
I tightened my grip on the Sword of Darkness. That key had already disappeared.
The light in front of me was getting brighter. That magic beast should be in front. I muttered in a low voice and stepped forward.
Eh?
Not right!
There seemed to be something glowing on the wall at the side!
I went closer to look and immediately became ecstatic. It turned out to be a high-level type of herb – Agave!
I quickly opened my Skills panel to take a look. Right, when the old man increased my skills level, he had also increased the level of my Harvesting skill! It’s at level 7 currently!
I pulled out the knife and started to collect the herbs!
System Notification: You collected Agave, Skill Experience +300! Congratulations, your Skill has leveled up!
I was a bit startled, but then came to the realization. Originally, the Skill Experience was already full and almost enough to level up. And now, it was enough to level up the Skill.
After nearly half an hour, I had cleared up all the Agaves. The good things here weren’t only the Agaves, but even the ores on the walls were very high in levels. Many of them were unable to be extracted with my level 6 Mining skill. However, the Experience gained was really a lot.
After two hours, I had mined everything I could on this corridor. At that moment, I remembered the main objective of this mission – the magical beast at the end of this corridor.
Thereupon, I went on moving forward after packing up the things. A blazing heat could be felt. Before I could reach the end, I was forced to stand for a while by an almost unbearable heat wave. What the h.e.l.l was this monster that it could seal that bada.s.s prophet?
“Roar~!”
The whole corridor was in tremor that it seemed it would all turn upside down. But, at this moment, I also saw the opponent I needed to face – A red dragon that was puffing a scarlet fire!
“Oh, it’s a dragon?” I exclaimed loudly.
“Idiot, I’m not a dragon. I’m a lizard!” The magical beast spoke.
I took a closer look, and sure enough, it didn’t have a horn. It seemed to be more correctly a lizard. However, those real wings made me a bit confused. Appearance’s wise, lizards shouldn’t have any wings, also, couldn’t speak. Could it have been evolved?
As I was in the train of my thought, the lizard spoke again, “Little human, do you also come to be a Dragon Slayer?”
“Dragon-slayer my a.s.s, you’re not even a dragon! I come here to kill you in order to break the seal on the Prophet!”
The lizard unexpectedly laughed, “Millions of years ago, we lizards were a branch of the dragon’s family. Do you really think that we would be so easy to deal with? That stupid Rhonin, he always thought me as a dragon. Boy, I’m telling you, he had lied to you!”
My face turned purple and I bitterly said, “I know. No need for you to remind me of that.”
The lizard seemed to be very patient, it continued, “I didn’t put the seal on Rhonin. But because he was trying to seal me, my anti-magic protection had caused it to bounce back on himself. Hey, you are already the third so-called Human Warrior. Rhonin knows that killing me can undo the seal, that’s why you’re here. Do you understand, idiot?”
d.a.m.n! I was getting fooled by two NPCs in a day. I really had no more face to continue living…
The lizard seemed to see through my hesitation. With a cold voice, it said, “Since you’ve already come, then do it! I won’t let you leave this place alive!”
After talking for so long, in the end, I still needed to fight!
Wielding the sword, I stepped forward and released Frozen Blade without reservation.
“Miss!”
My head immediately spun. The skill that I was most proud with had actually missed. Was G.o.d giving me a hard time? Looking at the lizard’s level, it was level 75! No wonder it could actually cause my skill to miss!
Combo!
“1250!”
“MISS!”
“MISS!”
“2560!”
Not bad. One critical attack. The 1620 points of Attack seemed to be really powerful.
As I was pleased with myself, the lizard’s first round of Attack had also come. An overwhelming firebreathing sprayed down. Its ultra-high temperature was as if it would destroy everything, causing me to stop moving out of fear.
I felt a stinging pain over my whole body. The feeling of getting burned was really not nice. Even worse, at that moment, my Health dropped more than 2,000 points. If this continued on, the lizard would only need four attacks to have me done!
I quickly drink a level 2 Life Restore Potion and continued to fight. I couldn’t back off anymore, so instead of just waiting to die, I might as well fight to the death with it!
The fact was that it was a shark net, and I was just a fat fish…
When the lizard spit out its flame for the sixth time, I finally couldn’t resist its powerful damage of 2,500 points anymore…
I was covered in pain and then everything was gone. Was this the feeling of being dead? How come it felt the same with smoking weed…?
A white light flashed, and I appeared in the corridor again…
My scalp started to get numb. Was there not a mistake here? I died but wasn’t sent back to the city?
Gritting my teeth, I rapidly rushed over and continued to challenge this level 75 lizard BOSS. Each time after getting resurrected, the Health was restored fully. This would also give me a chance to breathe. It wasn’t so good for the lizard. At this moment, it must have been in awe of this human with super-strong perseverance and endurance.
Two hours pa.s.sed quickly. Murong Shan Shan texted me to tell me she’s going to bed. I didn’t reply because I didn’t have the time. Xin Yu brought some food for me to eat and knocked on my helmet. I also didn’t respond to her because I was afraid of dropping 5 levels when I get offline.
However, it didn’t matter to me anymore now how many levels I would drop. Currently, I just wanted to kill this b.a.s.t.a.r.d BOSS…
During the full three hours, I died 17 times. My level had dropped to level 42. However, I saw a glimmer of hope since the lizard’s Health was also reduced by almost one-third, which meant that I still had a chance. I wanted to show once that an undying c.o.c.kroach is the most powerful creature!
It was until eight o’clock the next morning when I finally made it!
The lizard’s Health had bottomed out, but I wasn’t in a good shape either. The Attributes panel showed me my harsh level – 34!
“Everything is worth it!”
I kept saying this phrase to comfort myself, to support myself to continue this grinding…
“Boom~!”
The hill-like body of the lizard fell down. In my final attack, I cut down its two wings. Several pieces of equipment emitting colorful lights dropped to the ground. Gold coins were piled like small hills.
It was really too tiring!
I happily put all the equipment and golds into my inventory. At the moment, the system also prompted the completion of the mission.
“Whoosh~!”
I was sent back before the old Prophet. There was an additional blue wand in his hand. Supposedly, he used this wand to release himself from the seal.
“Young man, congratulations, you succeed! This is your reward!”
“Ding~!”
System Notification: You completed a special mission – Rescue the Prophet. You gain 200 million Experience, 10,000 gold coins, Prestige +8000! You get a mission reward: Lightsaber!
[Lightsaber] (Orange Equipment)
Attack: 320-450
Strength: +70
Stamina: +70
Agility: +70
Intelligence: +70
Additional: Attack has a chance to release a holy light that can simultaneously damage the target and also heal the user.
Required Level: 45
…
I was stunned. Was this the legendary orange weapon?
After all, it really was worth it!
I then looked at my own level. The Experience gained from killing the lizard had already let me rose from level 34 to level 36, and the Experience gained from completing this mission had also let me rose from level 36 to level 38. It’s now only 8 levels below my original level, and I also got a few pieces of equipment. Thinking about it, it didn’t seem to be a big loss! Most importantly, I was at level 34 when I killed the level 75 BISS. You could imagine the drop rate’s burst by this level difference.
Right, I hadn’t looked at the equipment dropped by the lizard. I quickly opened my inventory: another longsword, a piece of armor, and several other equipment that belonged to other Cla.s.ses. Another thing that let me look forward to was a purple book. According to my past experiences, usually, skill books were blue. Why was this one purple?
Therefore, ignoring everything else, I first took a look at the book –
[Underworld’s Fire Striking Heaven]: Skill book. Required level 40 Mage.
I was suddenly overjoyed. This must be a Mage AOE skill, and also a super-awesome one. If I didn’t guess wrong, it should be a fire-burning attack covering a large area. Its name was Underworld Fire. What kind of concept would that be? It didn’t belong to the art of pyrotechnics, so the Attack power should be obvious.
The drops from a level 75 gold BOSS were really extraordinary. With immense happiness, I continued to look at the other equipment. The first was the great sword glowing with a crimson-red light –
[Blood Red Sword] (Orange Equipment)
Attack: 380-525
Strength: +85
Stamina: +80
Agility: +85
Intelligence: +72
Additional: Using Vampiric power to absorb the attacking target’s Health. Vampiric effect 10%
Required Level: 50
