Chereads / Empyrean Defiance / Chapter 48 - Another Special Quest

Chapter 48 - Another Special Quest

When he heard Heracles's whim, Prince Elijah said to him, "I did not receive any special quest from the system this time again. It seems like you will be finishing things by yourself again, cousin!"

Heracles frowned upon hearing his cousin. He said in response, "Really? Barnacles! Well, I don't have any choice, do I? System, just show me my new special quest at this instance!"

[You managed to finish a difficult task by yourself!

Still, this is not enough for you to become stronger! You must grind even more to reach greatness to attain all your goals in life!

~ You need to clear the third floor up to the fifth floor by yourself!

~ You must only use up to three skills at most during this quest!

~ As reward, you will receive 20,000 experience points!

~ You will also receive two hundred free skill points!

~ Lastly, you will receive two skills!

~ In case of failure, two of your legendary-tier skill will be removed by the system!

~You have five days to finish this quest!]

Upon seeing his new special quest, Heracles took a long sigh. He could only say with a dejected expression, "My Sword Vulcan system is practically extorting me to finish this quest! It always force me to finish burdensome quest!"

With a confused face, Prince Elijah asked to Heracles, "Extortion? Why do you think so, cousin?" "Well, look at my new quest! The punishment is like that of my current main quest! System, show my cousin the new special quest!"

Prince Elijah decided to read Heracles's new special quest carefully. Upon taking a closer look, he said to his cousin, "This is great, cousin! You might level two times with that experience points! At the same time, those free skill points will be a great help to you if you allocate them carefully! Don't mind the punishment! I'm sure that you will be able to pull this off using your terrifying skills!"

Heracles decided not to think about it when he heard his cousin's remark. A moment later, he said, "Yeah! There's no time thinking about it! I think I can use two of my Mythical-tier skills and one Legendary-tier skill to finish everything as fast as I can!"

After a few minutes, Leonard arrived at the boss room. "I managed to find a wild boar this time, princes. Let's grill it in a fire, so we can rest for the night! Tomorrow is going to be tiresome for us!" he said as soon as he arrived.

Heracles smiled awkwardly after hearing his escort knight's word. He said to him, "Actually... I am the only one who would fight until I finished the fifth floor!" "What!? Did your system give you another outrageous quest this time!?" Leonard said with a shocked expression.

The young prince nodded upon hearing his question. Leonard laughed awkwardly after hearing the young prince. At the next minute, he just decided to let the two prince rest by themselves, so he decided to be the one to prepare their dinner.

As they were eating the boar meat, Leonard asked Heracles with a serious expression, "Do you have a plan for your special quest, prince?" "I think I will start by using my Unending Ripper skill which is identical to that of my cousin's Endless Rending skill. Then, I will just use my Blood Overseer on the way to the boss room," Heracles explained to Leonard.

"If that is your plan, my prince, I think I can help you. Do you want ride my back, so that you can focus on killing enemies on our way?" Leonard asked Heracles. In response, the young prince said to him, "That would be a great help for me, sir Leonard! I appreciate it!"

After eating their fill, they decided to sleep until morning came. Since they don't have guard duties this time, Leonard was the one who woke up first due to his routine. After preparing preparing their meal, he immediately woke up the two princes from their slumber, so that they could start their day.

As soon as they finished their preparation, Heracles decided to ride Leonard's back. "Cousin, follow Leonard's lead. Try to avoid dangers as much as you can! Although I have my Divine Eyes skill, my reaction speed can't keep up against it yet!" Heracles said as soon as they faced the portal.

"Don't worry, cousin! I will try my best to not become a burden to you! I will ensure my safety, so fight to your heart's content!" said Prince Elijah with a smile on his face.

At that very moment, the three entered the portal without a moment of hesitation. Upon entering, they were teleported into a forest environment. "This is the same as the environment before! Let's start the hunt, sir Leonard! For now, let's attract as many as monsters that we can! I need to ensure that I would be able to use my Unending Ripper to produce as many blood as possible!" Heracles said with a serious expression.

With a serious expression, Leonard sprinted with great speed with Heracles on his back. Since they will be going to attract enemies, Prince Elijah decided to follow their track slowly because he could not keep up with their escort knight's speed.

One by one, the monsters of the third floor flocked around Heracles and Leonard. They began chasing the two around as soon as they saw them. Hobgoblin and orcs were the types of monsters chasing them around.

"We only need a little more, sir Leonard! As soon as I draw my sword from its sheathe, throw my at the air, so that I could use my skill!" said Heracles as he looked behind them. "I got it, Prince Heracles!" said Leonard in response.

When the number of Hobgoblin and orcs reached up to thirty, Heracles did not hesitate on drawing his sword from its sheathe. As soon as Leonard saw the signal, he immediately stopped at his track. A moment later, he shouted as he threw Heracles toward the sky, "HEAVE-HOOOOO!!!"

"UNENDING RIPPER!!!"
