"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."
