Entrance #5 of the Emerald Forest.
The players of the Dragon City team had just entered the forest when a swarm of Emerald Beetles broke out of the ground and surrounded them.
"Priests should cast a deBUFF on the monsters first. Fighters, prepare to attack!"
[Night Blade Flame] calmly commanded the players.
The Dragon City team only had members of [Night Blade Guild].
They rushed over and fought the Emerald Beetle.
When the BOSS began to attack them, they immediately adjusted their positions to avoid its attack.
Just then, a system notification sounded.
"Ding! Dungeon Announcement:"
"Congratulations to the Copper Hammer City team for being the first team to kill the Emerald Life Snatcher and ranking first in the quest progress!"
[Night Blade Guild]'s players: "????"
"Damn, the BOSS was born less than 10 seconds ago! Was it killed already?!"
"Is Copper Hammer City that strong? They shouldn't have any powerful players, right?"
Not only the players from [Night Blade Guild], but the players from the other cities, were also filled with disbelief.
Who could kill a level 45 BOSS in six or seven seconds?
Wait!
It seemed that there is someone who could do it very easily.
Suddenly, 'Su Ming's figure' appeared in the minds of all the players.
"Did big brother [Cang Hai] join the Copper Hammer City team?"
The players were wailing.
They knew very well that they had no chance of getting the quest reward.
While the teams of major cities were still fighting at the entrance of the forest, Su Ming had already killed his way to the entrance of the Mage Tower.
The players of Copper Hammer City felt like they were living in a dream.
This speed of killing monsters was simply outrageous!
At this moment, they finally understood how powerful Su Ming was.
Normal players' killing speed was too slow. However, Su Ming's single attack killed all the surrounding monsters.
The members of the [Wild Lion Guild] were reduced to being hench-men who picked up the loot.
The teammates counted the equipment and then handed it to Su Ming.
Su Ming was not worried that his teammates would take advantage. If they picked up the loot, the team system would indicate who had picked up what item.
Then he opened the dungeon panel.
[Emerald Mage Tower]
Level: 40-50
Category: General
Suitable for: 1-100 people
Number of teams: 0/1
Available difficulty: Easy, medium, hard, nightmare
Victory condition: The team that kills [Shadow of the God of rules, Al] will be considered to have cleared the dungeon.
"Enter the dungeon."
Su Ming directly selected Nightmare difficulty, and everyone at the door of the Mage Tower disappeared.
...
[Current Location: Emerald Mage Tower – Nightmare Difficulty- First floor]
Su Ming and the other players appeared in the Mage Tower. Tens of thousands of portraits of magical beasts were carved on the walls around them.
In the next moment, a group of pale green energy bodies emerged from the portraits. There were hundreds of them.
[Emerald Illusion – Black Iron]
Level: 1
Title: Elite
HP: 100/100
Attack: 1
Defense: ?? /1
Skills: Energy absorption LV4, mimetic life LV4
Description: A mysterious creature from the Emerald World.
"Holy s**t, their attributes are garbage!"
"Haha, finally there's a monster we can deal with!"
Players of the Copper Hammer City team revealed smiles.
On the other hand, Su Ming looked at everyone with pity.
Although he did not participate in the Mage Tower in his previous life, he had seen videos of the dungeon clearance on the forums.
The [Emerald Illusion] was once named the most disgusting wild monster of the year in [Origin].
"Brothers, kill this group of monsters!"
Frost ray!
Flames burst!
Flame Shot!
Red Hot Slash!
...
The players from Copper Hammer City released all sorts of skills with spell damage, and colorful lights shone.
-0, -0, -0, -0, -0...
A series of zero damage numbers rose as the emerald illusion did not receive any damage at all.
Instead, they activated their skill [Energy absorption] and absorbed the spells which caused their body to change color.
After absorbing the fire spell, their body turned red.
After absorbing the frost spell, their body turned blue and white.
If they absorbed a variety of different spells, their body would have mixed colors.
"Huh? What's going on?"
Seeing that their attacks did not cause any damage, the players of the [Wild Lion Guild] were full of depression.
Everyone was unwilling to launch another attack because they did not know what was going on with these emerald illusions.
When the emerald illusions finally absorbed enough energy, cocoons of different colors wrapped them and they began to change.
Ten seconds later, monsters broke out of their cocoon.
[Flame Python – Bronze]
Level: 40
Title: Lord
HP: 960,000
...
[Lightning Wild Lion – Bronze]
Level: 40
Title: Lord
HP: 1.02 million
...
All these monsters were level 40 Bronze grade Lords, and their attributes far surpassed the players other than Su Ming.
Seeing this, Su Ming made a decisive move.
Hurricane Siphon!
The green storm swept through the first floor of the Mage Tower. All the monsters were sucked into the storm and sharp wind blades cut through their bodies.
-220,000, -270,000, -310,000...
After 3 seconds, the monsters fell down to the ground from the sky. They only had a little bit of HP left.
[1], [1], [1], [1], [2]...
Through the power of [Destiny Clock], Su Ming could see the countdown timers above each monster's head.
All these countdown timers were within 10 seconds.
Su Ming brazenly launched an attack.
Storm Army!
He waved his hand and summoned 10 storm swordsmen.
Under Su Ming's control, the Storm Swordsman focused on the monsters and killed the monsters with residual HP according to the countdown timer sequence.
"Ding, you have killed 105 Emerald Illusions, and gained: 0 experience points, dungeon points +1050."
Killing the Emerald Illusions did not give him any experience points.
Moreover, they did not drop any equipment. Instead, they would only drop an item called [Essence of Emerald Energy] whose drop rate was one in ten billion.
Su Ming picked up the dropped items.
"Ding, congratulations on obtaining the items: [Essence of Emerald Energy] x35."
As there were many emerald illusions that had the same countdown timer, Su Ming could not kill them at the same time. That was why he lost a lot of Emerald essence.
In the cosmic market, the value of [Essence of Emerald Energy] started from 1 billion gold coins.
He could get so many essences because of the help of 10 Luck Points and the [Destiny Clock].
Then, Su Ming checked their information.
[Essence of Emerald Energy]
Quality: Special
Effect: Used to synthesize [Emerald Core]. The more the amount of essence consumed, the stronger the effect of the synthesized [Emerald Core].
[Emerald Core] was an amazing item.
Its effect was to strengthen the spell damage of the equipment!
Each [Emerald Core] could enhance a piece of equipment once.
Right now, the total spell damage of [Dragon's Glory] was 25 times the attack. If it was strengthened twice, its spell damage would be 50 times the damage of the attack. If it was strengthened ten times, it would be 250 times the attack damage!
"Let's go, let's continue to go to the next floor."
Su Ming casually said and took the lead to step into the stairs of the second floor.
What followed was a crazy massacre.
The damage caused by spells determined the level cap of Emerald Illusions.
Su Ming's spell damage was too high, so he did not attack.
The members of [Wild Lion Guild] who were just playing around could finally help.
Su Ming asked them to use spells to attack the emerald illusion, causing them to evolve, and then he would harvest the life of these emerald illusions.
Killing all the way to the 10th floor, Su Ming obtained 286 [Essence of Emerald Energy] that were worth hundreds of billions.
