[Hidden level can only be triggered with a luck value of 5 or above]
Looking at the note in front of him, Kai Blake nodded slightly.
A luck value of 5 was a bit too high a threshold for new players.
But in front of Kai Blake's 10 - point luck, it was nothing.
Moreover, the way to trigger the hidden level hadn't been made public by the official at least. Kai Blake hadn't obtained any relevant information!
"What's the content of the hidden level?"
Kai Blake concentrated his attention. He found that when he focused more, the note would display more information.
[After entering the hidden level, all the monsters in the newbie dungeon will be awakened and join the pursuit of you...]
"Whoa——"
Kai Blake felt a bit of a twinge.
10 vampire bats and 1 mutated bat, that was manageable and not too much trouble.
What was really tough was the [Cerberus] in its infancy!
"Monster: Cerberus (Infancy)
LV.10
HP: 20000
MP: 12000
Physical Defense: 150
Magic Defense: 200
Skills:...."
20,000 HP was equivalent to 100 Kai Blakes combined!
With a physical defense as high as 150, normal attacks couldn't break its defense at all.
It was immune to magic damage below 500, and for magic damage above 500, it enjoyed a 35% damage reduction!
After reading the introduction of Cerberus, Kai Blake almost felt discouraged.
"How on earth did the supreme powerhouse Nightmare kill Cerberus back then? This is just too overpowered!"
Fortunately, he himself had an SSS - rank talent.
Kai Blake calculated the time.
[Ready to Strike] could stack one layer every 10 seconds, which meant 6 layers in one minute.
It had been 5 minutes since he entered the newbie dungeon.
Kai Blake had stacked 30 layers of [Ready to Strike], and continuing to use it couldn't increase the number of layers.
30 layers!
What did that mean?
This wasn't just 30 times!
It was 2 to the power of 30!
That is....
A terrifying number appeared in front of Kai Blake: [1073741824]
1.073741824 billion times!
Seeing this number, Kai Blake couldn't help but twitch his eyelids and gasp.
Over a billion times!
With one Lightning Arrow, it could deal over 60 billion damage!
What was a mere Cerberus? Not to mention it was in its infancy, even an adult Cerberus would have to die!
Kai Blake suddenly perked up.
Be tough against burrowing rats but be a coward against Cerberus?
That's not my style!
Let's do it!
With the boost of 30 layers of [Ready to Strike], Kai Blake had extremely terrifying output power.
According to the prompt, Kai Blake moved an inconspicuous stone and used it to draw an obscure pattern on the wall in a certain pattern.
When the last stroke was completed, the entire passage started to shake. Stones and sand kept falling, and the stone wall in the middle slowly cracked open, revealing a passage.
"This strange pattern, it would be a wonder if anyone could trigger the hidden level!"
After spending quite a while, Kai Blake casually stuffed the stone into his backpack.
Don't litter. Even an inconspicuous stone like this, a prop that triggers the hidden level, might have special value!
As the stone wall cracked, something strange happened simultaneously in the passages on both sides of Kai Blake!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh——
In the darkness, nearly ten blurry figures swiftly passed by, hovering above the passage. A pair of scarlet - glowing eyes stared intently at Kai Blake, craving blood.
These vampire bats didn't attack immediately but silently confronted Kai Blake.
"Roar——"
An angry roar came from the passage on the right.
Then, there were intense crashing sounds, the sound of chains breaking, and the ground kept shaking!
A terrifying monster broke through its cage!
And its target was obviously Kai Blake!
Tear, chew, swallow!
The hunting instinct drove it to move forward at high speed. It seemed that in the next second, its sharp claws could tear through the skin and its fangs could taste the blood!
"Here it comes!"
Kai Blake focused all his attention, tightly gripping the staff in his hand, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
He only had one chance to strike!
[Lightning Blessing] obviously wouldn't work!
Kai Blake's speed was no match for Cerberus at all. The opponent wasn't as clumsy as the burrowing rat.
If he wasn't careful, even if Kai Blake was just "touched" by the side of the opponent, he would become a victim under its claws with no chance of a comeback!
He couldn't just do a slide - tackle and feed himself to it, could he?
[Lightning Arrow] was Kai Blake's only choice!
[Lightning Arrow] with thirty layers of [Ready to Strike] stacked could deal tens of billions of damage!
A one - hit kill!
Kai Blake held his breath, staring intently at the dark passage. A countdown appeared in front of him.
"..5, 4, 3, 2, 1!"
"Now!"
Kai Blake shouted angrily and waved the staff in his hand forward!
"Lightning Arrow!"
An enormous Lightning Arrow was instantly launched. With the boost of thirty layers of [Ready to Strike], the Lightning Arrow filled the entire passage!
Cerberus had no room to dodge!
Just as it rushed out of the shadows, ready to enjoy the hunt, it was submerged in lightning in an instant!
It was so quick!
In its eyes flashed unwillingness, anger, confusion, and doubt!
Obviously... the enemy was so weak... why was it... that fell?
Before it could even let out a wail, a terrifying astronomical number appeared above Cerberus's head, and it was completely turned into charcoal!
Feeling completely drained, Kai Blake hadn't even had time to savor the joy of killing Cerberus when a system prompt popped up in front of him.
"Leveled up to level 10!"
Kai Blake's eyebrows twitched, overjoyed!
Level 10!
You know, leveling up in the Tower of Eternity was extremely difficult, and the difficulty of obtaining experience was beyond imagination!
Kai Blake painstakingly killed 20 burrowing rats to level up from level 1 to level 2.
Killing Cerberus actually made him level up to level 10 in one go!
"Received +50 Strength, +50 Intelligence, +50 Spirit, +50 Agility, +50 Constitution."
Since it was an over - level kill and a solo kill!
During the leveling - up process, the Tower of Eternity gave an extra attribute reward.
As far as Kai Blake knew, during the newbie period, when leveling up, the increase range of a single attribute per level was between 1 and 3!
And Kai Blake got 2 more points of each attribute per level!
"I've hit the jackpot this time!"
Kai Blake couldn't contain his ecstasy.
Even without counting the settlement rewards of the newbie dungeon and the loot dropped by Cerberus.
Just the current five - dimensional attributes made Kai Blake extremely profitable!
And there was the loot!
Kai Blake looked forward. The passage widened by the Lightning Arrow was pitch - black and in a mess.
Cerberus, which had "enjoyed the service of being killed and turned to ashes," left a vague wolf - shaped mark on the ground.
And on top of the charcoal, a golden - glowing light cluster was quietly lying on the ground!
"Let's see what good stuff has dropped!"
