According to the little we know, the mysterious entity who created the sanctuaries also created dome- like barriers that prevents mutated creatures from invading the sanctuaries.
While this was true, I discovered another use of these domes when I left the sanctuary. The sky outside was completely red and chaotic with the clouds drenched in blood red. Turns out the domes also created an illusionary perfect environment for humans. Huh,... so that powerful mysterious entity was that considerate. Why though?
Well, that would be up to those big players to figure out. I'm just here for gold...hehe...
Most players were right outside the sanctuary in their numbers slaying the unfortunate low leveled mutated rabbits which spawned close to the sanctuary, Obviously they couldn't go too far away from the sanctuary because,..... well....not all mutated creatures were pushovers like rabbits.
After leaving the sanctuary, I brought up the mission details
[Mission]
[Retrieve lost artefact]
[A member of the mage association accidentally dropped an artefact in the Tall Forest on his way to the sanctuary.
Retrieve it.
Rank: F
Mission Rewards: 10 gold
Mission Failure: -40 reputation with mage association.]
Unfortunately for me, judging from the map the Tall Forest was quite a distance away from the sanctuary, not too far actually, but it was still quite a walk when you don't have mount.So without further loitering, I set off.
Halfway there, I encountered my first mutated beast since I started the game
[Mutated Horned Rabbit ]
Level:5
Hp:150/150
Skills
Charge
+50% damage.
[Current State: Extremely Beserk (+100% damage)]
And if anyone was wondering why this dude was so pissed, well I someway somehow happened to walk in while bro was just about to mate. Seriously who made this game?? .....And now judging from the maddened look the mutated horned rabbit was giving me, it seems bro took it really personal.
Why bro,... you two could have continued, I was just passing by. It wasn't my fault she left.
For a while, two creatures, one human and a rabbit gazed at each other with fierce eyes , creating an unsettling atmosphere against the oddly peaceful looking blood red lake in the background.
Then seemingly unable to take it anymore, the furious rabbit immediately used it's only skill [Charge] and shot forward with an alarming speed.
Before the mutated horned rabbit could close in, an arrow streaked through the air and pierced one of it's hind legs.
Ding!
[Critical shot!!!
+50% damage]
The rabbit, caught by the impact tumbled to the ground but wasn't given the chance to settle before another arrow pierced it's left eye right into its skull.
Ding!
[Extreme bleed effect triggered!
For the next 20 minutes, target loses 5hp per second]
The poor rabbit bled to death and even at it's death it still had tears of fury in it's eyes.
"Sorry I couldn't give you a quick one bro, but you've got to understand, arrows cost me money"
If I could hear the rabbit's thoughts I'm sure I'd be hearing
"No matter where I go ,... I will find you..... and I will...."
Ding!
[You have leveled up!]
[A/N]
