Chapter 30 - when death calls

Chapter 30: There Is No Door To Hell, You Just Have To Throw Yourself Into It

However, Damian hopes to get the dark gold suit more than the higher-level sub-legendary. After all, there is a difference between different sub-legendary equipment. 

For example, Winter's wrath is the top sub-legendary equipment. Not only are the individual attributes powerful, but it is also a set. If you collect a certain number, you will get additional attribute increases. If you collect them all, they can evolve into a legendary series.

As for ordinary sub-legendary parts, although their equipment attributes are stronger than dark gold equipment of the same level, if the dark gold equipment can be formed into a set, the priority will be higher than that of sub-legendary parts.

"Keep challenging."

White light fell, and the thirty strongest zombies on the field joined the battlefield, including ten mutant zombies.

[Creature - Mutated zombie

Level:16

Attributes–

Strength:120

Agility:120

Constitution: 120

Intelligence:120

Skills–

–Tenacious Claws: Claw attacks deal 50% additional damage.

–Tough Skin: Can offset fifty points of damage

–Advanced self-healing: Accelerates recovery ability. ]

Looking at the shimmering claws of the mutated zombies, if one is scratched by them, the situation will not be good.

"Frost Slash"

"Crushing Slash"

"Acceleration"

Damian activated three skills in a row and suddenly appeared one step in front of the zombie group. With the help of extra strength, he hit three consecutive attacks and cleared a large area in an instant.

Sixteen zombies were cut in half. After the frost melted, the stinking black blood sprayed out like a heavy rain.

But Damian had already left the spot and rushed towards the zombies on the other side.

If someone outside knew that someone could kill a group of zombies with over 100 attributes in one slash, they would definitely think it was a daydream. However, this scene that could only appear in a dream was actually happening.

No twists and turns, no surprises.

Damian's advanced development nipped all dangers in the cradle, and successfully cleared the dungeon with an absolute crushing attitude.

[The player has cleared all trials.]

[The rewards are being settled, please wait.]

[The rewards have been settled and are being distributed.]

[You gain 150% of the maximum experience value.]

The issuance of the experience value reward allowed Damian to instantly increase his level by two levels.

He was about to upgrade. Although 150% of the settlement was for the level 11 experience pool, the overflow experience was enough to fill the entire level 12 experience pool. 

Of the 40 points of free attributes, Damian allocated 20 points to strength, 10 points to agility, and 10 points to constitution.

[Congratulations on getting the equipment: Cordel's Shadow Cloak, Ring of Serious Wounds.]

[Equipment: Clive's Shadow Cloak

Description: Cloak worn by Master Assassin Clive

Grade: Dark Gold (Set Components)

Attributes: Agility +40, Strength +20

Special attribute: Stealth skill +1

Set attribute (1/9): 2% probability of triggering double critical hit

...

[Equipment: Ring of Serious Wounds

Grade: dark gold

Attributes: Strength +15, Agility +15

Additional skills: Physical attack increases damage by 5%

Equipment requirements: LV10 ]

"This will do." Damian said, accepting his rewards with a smile. 

The stealth skill granted by Clive's Shadow Cloak appeared on Damian's panel. Because it is a skill granted by equipment, he cannot upgrade the skill and it will also disappear when he takes off the equipment.

 Unless he obtains the "Stealth" skill book in the future, then he'll have it permanently.

As for the specific performance of stealth skills in this game, it is not to make players directly invisible, but reducing one's own sense of presence, so that zombies and others ignore their existence.

Correspondingly, players can also obtain detection skills, or passive skills such as absolute concentration or sense surroundings to deal with stealth skills.

In addition to the two pieces of equipment, the rewards also include two relatively good skills.

[Skill: Bloodlust Tracking

Description: After attacking the enemy or being attacked, the enemy's position will be locked continuously for 120 seconds, with a cooling time of 10 minutes. When attacked, the skill will be automatically activated.]

… 

[Skill: Atomic arrow making

Effects: Arrow making (Requires wood or bone materials) , increases damage by 10% when attacking. ]

Damian finished learning two skills and exited the dungeon.

It's a pity that the dungeon can only be entered once every three days. Otherwise, with his efficiency, he can quickly upgrade his skills to level 30, and he will also have a matching dark gold level equipment. If he is lucky, he can also get suits and sub-legendary parts. .

But now, he has no choice but to go to the nearby area to kill monsters for the time being, and then come back after three days.

Damian complained in his heart while walking away, but just as he dusted his clothes and turned around, a voice stopped him.

"Brother, can you please wait a moment?"

Though the voice was very polite, the owner of the voice was looking unfriendly in every aspect. Anyone who saw his greedy eyes and arrogant expression would know his intention immediately. 

At the entrance to the dungeon that was empty just now, more than 20 people emerged from nowhere and surrounded Damian. And everyone looked at him with evil smiles on their faces. Like hungry wolves staring at their fat piece of meat. 

"Have I been treated as a prey?" Damian said with a chuckle. 

He had seen these situations too many times in his previous life, but in the past he was always a member of the outside circle, stealing from others, this was the first time he became prey instead. 

For a dungeon like this that only limits the number of times an individual can play it, rather than only opening it once every 3 days, it is normal for hunters to ambush you nearby.

They specially asked spies to keep watch at the entrance of the dungeon. When someone entered the dungeon, they would call people over.

When the player inside the dungeon came out, they would take advantage of the large number of a gang to rob his equipment.

If the player is lucky, he could still survive after giving up his equipment, but if not, then these thugs would kill him too. 

Hearing Damian's words, the man laughed and said: "Since you understand what is going on, if you cooperate, we can all save some energy and resolve the matter peacefully."

"Ah." Damian chuckled lightly and disappeared in front of everyone's eyes the next moment.

"What the hell?"

"Where'd he go?"

"Do you see him?"

Just as the people were searching around, still looking for Damian's figure, his voice sounded among the crowd.

"This bad acting, stupid talking, what a waste of time. Really the work of a weak villain. If you want to rob someone, just jump 'em." Damian's tone was cold. And behind him, one man's headless body was spewing blood.

Damian slowly turned around and looked at a short, wretched man with sinister features and crazy eyes at the back of the crowd.

"What a coincidence. I specifically searched for you but couldn't find you, and now you delivered yourself to my door."

Killing intent surged in Damian's eyes, and bursts of coldness erupted from the winter's wrath. With a swing of his sword, the three people blocking the front were instantly cut off.

He stepped on the corpse, their blood splattered on the devil's mask, and his terrifying appearance was like a real devil walking.

Everyone immediately dispersed and ran away, looking as if they hated their parents for giving them only two legs.

These people originally gathered together because of their interests. There's no sense of loyalty or belonging in their hearts, now that they offended someone strong, each thug ran in a different direction. Some even taking this chance to push their fellows to die and stealing from their corpses. 

Damian ignored these people and ran straight towards the man with sinister features. The man, who saw the devil chasing him, ran even faster. 

"People are right when they say, there is no gate to hell, you just have to jump into it yourself. -- I was ready to wait a month, but your death pulled you here faster."

But Damian just sneered and threw out two ice crystals, which accurately penetrated the man's left and right legs.

The man fell to the ground and rolled around a few times, covering his wounds with his hands and kept wailing. But then, a foot stepped heavily on his head, causing the wailing to stop abruptly.

"Long time no see."

Damian increased his strength little by little, and with the heartbreaking sound of bones breaking, the man's head deformed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"My mad Maddy."
