Chapter 20 Epic quest,『The Wrath of Water Demon』?
?
“Hmm? Stone of Relics? Good stuff.”?
?
Su Ming’s eyes lit up when he saw the name of the second item. Even the Silver-grade skill book was ignored by him.?
?
『Stone of Relics』is a necessary consumable item used to open a relic dungeon.?
?
In his previous life, the players liked to open the wasteland ruin dungeon.?
?
This was because only a relic dungeon would drop an ‘Unknown Skill Stone’. Although this thing was extremely expensive, 99.999% of the skills that it produced were trash.?
?
However, the remaining 0.001% was a super rare skill above Diamond-grade!?
?
Someone had obtained a Mythic-grade skill after activating the ‘Unknown Skill Stone’ and directly became an upper echelon of the top 20 big shots among the Blue Star players.?
?
This incident caused many people to try their luck on the Unknown Skill Stone.?
?
Next, he inspected the map fragment.?
?
『Siren Ruins Map Fragment』?
?
Type: Replica Map?
?
Quantity:1/3?
?
“I’ve never heard of this place before.”?
?
Su Ming temporarily stored the map fragment in his inventory. He did not read the Lightning Whip Skill Book. This skill was a warrior-exclusive skill.?
?
He planned to use the【Holy Altar of Orpha】to synthesize a priest skill book.?
?
The last thing was his newly received buff.?
?
『Strong Body』?
?
Grade: Black Iron?
?
Level: 2/50?
?
Effect: Increases the player’s HP by 400 points. Reduces damage by 1% for hits on the player that does not exceed 500. Lasts forever. Cannot be removed.?
?
If this buff were to reach the max level, as long as the incoming damage was less than 12,500, the damage would be reduced by 25%.?
?
The skill at max level would also give 10,000 HP.?
?
Decent buff.?
?
After checking the results, Su Ming closed the panel and looked up at the ten-meter-tall stone door. The area of Water Demon Palace lies ahead.?
?
He stepped up the stairs, as he walked over.?
?
…?
?
In Tunnel 1.?
?
『Night』’s team had already advanced 100 meters.?
?
The team of 10 consisted of solely mages!?
?
Drunken Rain leisurely casted his spells. The snowstorm descended, causing the Water Demons’ movement speed to decrease by 95%, providing the Demons with difficulty to move.?
?
“Attack!”?
?
Drunken Rain immediately gave his order.?
?
Nine people, including him, raised their staff to cast their skills.?
?
The multicolored radiance flew towards the group of monsters.?
?
-15, -9, -12……?
?
Dozens of two digit numbers damage popped up.?
?
Although the damage was pitifully low, this run was very safe.?
?
It could be said that with Drunken Rain’s assistance, it was only a matter of time before the Nightmare difficulty『Water Demon Palace』was cleared.?
?
“Haha…… Night Blade Flame wasted 500,000 gold for this dungeon to be cleared by me.”?
?
As soon as Blue Night Wind thought of Night Blade Flame’s shocked expression after knowing that they had cleared, his mood was very relaxed.?
?
“Brother Ice God, your crowd control* skills are too strong.”?
?
[TLN: Crowd control skills are skills that affect the movement of an opponent, be it a stun, slow, paralyze.]?
?
“That’s right. The output environment is too comfortable.”?
?
“Sigh, why can’t I get a Diamond-grade talent too?”?
?
Looking at the envious gazes of Night Blue’s players, Drunken Rain felt extremely comfortable.?
?
“I…”?
?
Drunken Rain was about to speak when he was interrupted by a sudden system notification.?
?
“Ding! Dungeon Announcement:”?
?
“Congratulations [Night Blade]’s team member [Cang Hai] for successfully killing No.2 Hall Guardian Reante. Map exploration progress: 45%.”?
?
“…”?
?
In that instant, the atmosphere in Tunnel 1 turned extremely quiet.?
?
Drunken Rain’s smile froze.?
?
He forgot to cast his skill. The Water Demon Sentinel quickly recovered. In the blink of an eye, it got close to the mage’s position and went on rampage.?
?
“Ding! Your teammate, [Blue Night Wind] has died!”?
?
“…”?
?
Due to his negligence, the team of ten had reduced to one.?
?
Not long after, Drunken Rain was also killed by the monster.?
?
『Night』was completely annihilated.?
?
Outside the dungeon.?
?
Accompanied by the flash of light, Blue Night Wind, and others appeared in other players’ sight.?
?
“Eh, isn’t this Blue Night Wind and his team? Why did they come out earlier.”?
?
“Even with Drunken Rain helping them, they lost so quickly? Is the Nightmare Dungeon so difficult?”?
?
“That’s not right. Look closely at the other guilds…”?
?
As they listened to the passerby…?
?
…The faces of Drunken Rain and Blue Night Wind turned red, and then green.?
?
“Cang Hai…… To make me lose so much face. I’ll remember you.”?
?
The two gnashed their teeth.?
?
…?
?
In the Dungeon.?
?
Su Ming pushed open the door.?
?
【Current Location: Water Demon Palace(Nightmare) – Underground Hall】?
?
Looking around, all in his sight was a large hall with no monsters. There were eight stone doors around, and in the middle lies a spiral staircase, seeming to lead to the top of the palace.?
?
Immediately, he walked out and stepped onto the stairs.?
?
The palace was very tall. It took around five to six minutes to reach the top.?
?
Under his feet was a circular floating platform. The Water Demon Throne stood in the center.?
?
“Buzz…”?
?
The air fluctuated violently. The next moment, the Water Demon Throne emitted magical radiance, and finally formed a tall, slender, blue figure.?
?
Just looking at his body size, it was really huge.?
?
But with just a look on the face…?
?
…He could not help but shout:?
?
“Where did this monster come from!”?
?
Ugly and tragic.?
?
【Water Demon King Ziles’ Vengeful Spirit】?
?
At this moment, Ziles walked down from his throne, looked around and muttered to himself, “Ziles, known as the Dreamland by the Water Demons. What a beautiful face, ha ha…”?
?
The next moment, the scenery changed. Everything decayed and black blood floated on the sea.?
?
He turned his head to look at Su Ming and said, “100 years ago… the arrival of a group of sirens changed everything. The sirens were high and mighty, and treated us like b*astards! Plundered our home, took our lives! Everything was taken away… by the sirens!”?
?
Ziles’ voice grew sharper and sharper, and his face became incomparably distorted.?
?
“I curse them for eternality!”?
?
“…”?
?
Su Ming was expressionless as he listened to the tragic tale of Ziles. He was calm.?
?
The act was excellent, and the cry was heart-wrenching.?
?
However, this act was seen as thief shouting thief*, seemingly ridiculous to him.?
?
[TLN: To divert the attention of others to cover one’s misdoings.]?
?
The next moment, Ziles appeared in front of Su Ming and stared at him, his eyes burning with flames:?
?
“Human, are you willing to avenge the millions of dead souls of the Water Demons in the Abyss?”?
?
At this moment, the System Notification popped out.?
?
“Ding!”?
?
“Congratulations on triggering an epic quest,『The Wrath of Water Demon』. Quest Description: Destroy the Siren Kingdom and avenge the death of the Water Demon race. Reward: Unknown.“
