Although the stats of the Undead Guards were a little overpowered, I was still able to easily sweep through them. Two hours later, several hundred Undead Guards fell to the ground as experience and equipment. Only the Servant of Vengeance was left. However, to my surprise, these Servant of Vengeance's names weren't red, but yellow!
Neutral monsters?
I didn't understand. It was rare to see undead monsters that were neutral monsters. This didn't make sense. Logically speaking, undead monsters were the leaders of the Army of Darkness. They would drool and tear human adventurers to shreds the moment they saw them.
Forget it. Since the Maid of Vengeance didn't attack me with aggro, then I wouldn't waste my time on them. It was already 11 o 'clock in the afternoon. If I didn't finish this quest as soon as possible, I didn't know when I would be able to sleep.
It was a strange feeling to pass through the crowd of Servant of Vengeance. As undead monsters, these Servant of Vengeance were deathly pale, and they exuded an evil aura and a putrid stench...
"Jiejie... when will we see the light of day again..." the Servant of Vengeance whimpered.
I looked up. Although the ruined palace was in ruins, the top of the palace was still there.
At this time, the black-armored Dark Archon finally appeared in front of me. I used Eye of the Stars and as expected, the boss's stats appeared — [Dark Archon] (Earth Rank Boss)
Level: 110
Attack: 1600 ~ 1950
Defense: 1800
HP: 2500000
Skills: [Undead Suppression], [Death Strike], [Summon Magic]
Passive: The former captain of the palace guards has a violent personality. After becoming a Dark Archon, he became even more licentious and bloodthirsty. Moreover, the Dark Archon lied to Sunset Scythe Feather Moon. He forcefully imprisoned the soul of the Servant of Vengeance, preventing her from reincarnating...
I couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air when I saw the boss's stats. This was big trouble. It was actually a Level 110 Earth Rank boss. This was completely out of my expectations. It looked like this quest should be at least 1000 points in difficulty. Why was it 700?
The boss's 1950 Attack was definitely going to deal a lot of damage to me. If it suddenly appeared, it could one-shot me with a Total Annihilation!
I couldn't help but shiver at this thought. Now that I didn't have Qin Yun by my side, it seemed like I wouldn't be able to solo this boss...
However, at this time, the dark archon suddenly pushed away the bewitching maid sitting on his lap and abruptly stood up. His giant black cloak fluttered in the wind as he raised the long black sword in his hand and shouted, "Lowly human, you actually dare intrude into the Undying Border? You are simply seeking death!"
Unable to retreat, I immediately raised my sword and charged forward. I'll risk it all!
Cha cha cha!
Three consecutive strikes, Total Annihilation rained down on the Boss, and at the same time, three damage numbers popped up — —
“1546！”
“1672！”
“1494！”
I couldn't help but groan inwardly. It was over. Total Annihilation could only deal such a small amount of damage. This boss was like an iron plate. 1700 Defense was almost impossible for me to break through!
I followed up with another Shield Breaker Slash. This time, the Shield Breaker effect caused me to deal 5437 damage.
At this moment, the Dark Archon was furious. He raised his giant sword high up and in the next moment, that shining black sword turned into a sharp light that landed on my shoulder!
I was sent flying back in a wave of intense pain, losing 2458 HP!
I reflexively gulped down a health potion. At the same time, I raised my Ice Sword with one hand. A flaming dragon broke out of the ground and instantly engulfed the Boss. A super high damage number jumped up. This proved that the Boss' Defense was very high, but his magic defense was very weak!
However, my magic attack could only be used once every 60 seconds. I wasn't like Ling Yue who could attack once every one or two seconds. It was impossible to rely on magic to kill this Boss!
The Dark Archon laughed maniacally and suddenly leaped down. At lightning speed, he slashed again!
Death Strike!
This time, my HP was completely emptied!
I staggered backward and fell down the stairs. I even knocked into a servant girl behind me. The servant girl cried out in pain and unconsciously hugged my shoulders. A beautiful woman's embrace was soft and fragrant. However, when I turned around and saw the servant girl's face, I felt like vomiting …
The Dark Archon fiercely chased after me. I immediately stumbled forward, but there was nowhere to retreat. I could only grit my teeth and activate the invincible skill, Flame Wall. In the next moment, I fiercely slashed down. My target was actually the gap between the Dark Archon's helmet and chest plate!
"Crack!"
The golden light of the Shield Breaker Slash fiercely cut into the Dark Archon's neck. Black blood splattered everywhere. A super high damage number immediately appeared above the Boss' head — — "23814!"
I was shocked. It was actually a critical strike. Moreover, it had a Weak Point Break bonus damage!
However, this bit of damage was nothing to the Boss. What made me despair was that the Boss shook its head and attacked again!
It's over. I can only die for justice!
Just as I was about to use an Ice Wind Stab to escape, a melodious system bell rang in my ears —
Ding ~!
System Notice: You have dealt more than 10000 damage to the Dark Archon, triggering the hidden quest [Servant's Revenge]!
… …
In the next moment, the hundreds of elite mobs around me and the names of the Vengeful Servants suddenly turned green!
That was the color of an ally!
What happened next made me pale with fright. A group of vengeful maids really started to take revenge. They let out ear-piercing screams, their shrill voices echoing in the air above the ruins. Furthermore, all of the vengeful maids started to attack the Dark Archon at the same time!
Reality proved that angering a woman was a terrible thing. No matter how strong you were, not even an Earth Rank boss!
Nearly a hundred purple fireballs engulfed the Dark Archon's body. Each fireball dealt more than 5,000 damage to the Dark Archon. In just a second, the Dark Archon's Health Points had been reduced by 500,000.
Nearly a fifth of its HP was gone in an instant!
Enraged, the Dark Archon swung its sword and killed a nearby servant. It scolded angrily, "Damned foolish women, do you think you can kill me with your puny strength?"
The Vengeful Servant's eyes turned blood-red as she screamed, "We are no longer human. Our bodies shall be purified by the sun, and our souls shall find peace!"
Another two waves of attacks followed and the Dark Archon's HP dropped by another two-fifths. It had less than half of its HP left!
I stood dumbfounded at the side. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. A Level 110 Earth Rank boss was killed by a barrage of powerful mages in less than half a minute!
Just think about it, if there were a hundred mages as powerful as Ling Yue, they could also kill an Earth Rank boss in less than a minute. Unfortunately, there was only one Ling Yue in the entire White Cloud City.
Only now did I realize why this quest's difficulty was less than 1000. It turned out that there was no need to fight the final boss. One only needed to have the strength to activate the hidden quest.
A few seconds later, the Maidservant of Vengeance fired the sixth volley. Finally, the Dark Archon's HP was completely depleted. After letting out a furious roar, his body collapsed to the ground, accompanied by the light of gold coins and equipment!
At the same time, a ray of golden light fell upon me. I leveled up!
I looked at my level. I was Level 77, 47% experience. It hadn't been more than 30 seconds since I started attacking the boss's Defense. Therefore, the system judged that the boss was killed by me and all the experience went to me. However, this Earth Rank boss really did give a lot of experience. One boss was enough for me to level up by half a level!
Before I could pick up the equipment, a maid of vengeance walked up to me and bowed respectfully, "Respected human warrior, it was you who gave us the courage to kill the Dark Archon. We will be eternally grateful to you for your kindness!
However, our lives have come to an end. I hope that after we reincarnate, we will be able to pray for you in our next life! "
In the next moment, all the names of the Vengeful Maidservants returned to yellow. Moreover, they let out shrill screams as they madly rushed to the periphery of the ruined hall. The moment they came into contact with the sunlight, the figures of the Vengeful Maidservants seemed to evaporate. In an instant, they were torn to pieces. Accompanied by carefree singing, the entire melody was like a requiem.
A few minutes later, the ruined hall was empty. The Vengeful Servant's souls had all ascended under the sunlight. Only the Dark Archon's corpse was slowly disappearing.
I let out a sigh of relief and said to myself, "Beauties, rest in peace!"
After that, I walked up to the boss. I wanted to get the quest item first.
The boss's head was placed upright on the ground. For a quest item, it was actually pretty clean. At least it wasn't covered in blood.
I tossed the boss's head into my bag and looked around. The Dark Archon had dropped three pieces of equipment. A shining axe, a dark blue chest armor, and a shining necklace.
First, I looked at the axe's stats —
[Soul Splitting War Axe] (Dark Gold – grade)
Attack: 450 ~ 560
Strength: + 30
Stamina: + 25
Agility: + 18
Passive: When attacking, there is a 5% chance to put the opponent into a state of fear, immobilizing them for 1 second.
Level Requirement: 80
(Unappraised)
… …
It was an axe with very powerful stats. Mn, I'll sell it slowly in the shop for a sky-high price!
Even if I can't sell it, I can at least put up a front for my shop.
There was also a dark blue chest armor that glowed with a dark blue light. It was clearly not ordinary —
[Shadow Song Armor] (Earth-grade — armor)
Defense: 280
Magic Resist: 100
Strength: + 40
Stamina: + 32
Agility: + 25
Passive: Increases user's Defense by 20%
Level Requirement: 80
(Unappraised)
… …
My eyes widened. A few seconds later, I let out a laugh. Damn, I finally got an Earth-grade armor!
This Shadow Song Armor's Defense and Magic Resist were very strong, and the stats were good too. It was a million times stronger than the Gold-grade armor I was currently wearing!
The 20% increase in Defense and the Dragon Armor complemented each other. It was like adding wings to a tiger!
However, the equipment was Level 80, so I could only use it after I reached Level 80.
I happily tossed the Shadowsong Armour into my bag. The last piece of equipment was the necklace — —
[Nature Goddess' Blessing] (Dark Gold – grade)
Intelligence: + 35
Stamina: + 25
Agility: + 20
Passive: Increases user's healing by 25%. Effect can be stacked
Level Requirement: 80
(Unappraised)
… …
I smiled. I finally got some priest equipment. Very good!
I looked at my friend list. Qin Yun and the other girls were all there. Never mind, I'll return to the city first and appraise this batch of equipment. I also hadn't appraised the equipment dropped by the cavalry commander from earlier, so I could appraise it as well.
Everything done. Back to the city!
After a flash of white light, I immediately ran to the appraisal office and threw everything on the table. In the end, the master appraiser calculated the appraisal fee and charged me 140k gold!
I was definitely screwed. Never mind, I won't care so much. I'll appraise everything first!
Level 70 metal wristguards. I could use the Undead Wristguards right now, so I put them on and switched out my Gold-grade wristguards — [Undead Wristguards] (Dark Gold – grade — metal armor)
Defense: 225
Magic Resist: 140
Strength: + 42
Stamina: + 35
Agility: + 24
Passive: Increases user's physical attack power by 10%
Level Requirement: 70
… …
The stats weren't bad. After equipping it, my attack power broke through 2000 points and my defense reached 1885.
As for the Shadow Song Armor, its stats were so strong it made people drool. However, it wasn't high enough to equip —
[Shadow Song Armor] (Earth – Armor)
Defense: 450
Magic Resist: 200
Strength: + 60
Stamina: + 45
Agility: + 40
Intelligence: + 25
Passive: Increases user's Defense by 35%
Level Requirement: 80
… …
My defense was as high as 450, and I had 200 points of magic resist. I also had a 35% bonus to my defense. Furthermore, I had added quite a few additional stat points. I had 25 points of intelligence. Having high intelligence was a good thing. High intelligence meant faster mana recovery. Looking at the rate at which I used up my skills as a warrior, if my intelligence was high enough, I wouldn't need to use mana potions.
I put the Shadow Song Armor into my bag and stored it in my storage. I'll think about it when I reach Level 80. My stats will definitely increase greatly after I reach Level 80. I still had a Level 80 Earth-grade Elemental Bow in my storage. Once I equipped it, my leveling speed would definitely increase to a whole new level!
The other two pieces of equipment dropped by the Dark Knight Commander. The first was a Gold-grade shield with 280 Defense. It would probably sell for a good price. The last was a Dark Gold – grade Blood Throat Dagger with 550 Attack and a 75% increase in Backstab's success rate. It could be considered the ultimate equipment for an expert Assassin right now. Whatever, I'll just put it up for sale in the shop.
The Dark Archon dropped a Dark Gold axe, Soul Splitting War Axe. Its stats were quite strong —
[Soul Splitting War Axe] (Dark Gold – grade)
Attack: 575 ~ 720
Strength: + 40
Stamina: + 28
Agility: + 20
Passive: When attacking an opponent, there is a 10% chance that the opponent will fall into a state of fear and be unable to move for 2 seconds.
Level Requirement: 80
… …
As expected of a Level 80 Dark Gold – grade weapon. Its Attack far surpassed Ling Xue's Thunderclap Sword.
Yes, if I could sell it, I would earn a high price!
If there were no accidents, this axe would definitely sell for an astronomical price. Moreover, the buyer was very likely to be Blood Drinker. Even though my opponents might increase their strength if they bought it, there was no need for me to go against money. The stronger the opponent, the more fun it would be to kill them. If I didn't dare to sell my equipment because I was afraid of my opponent, then that wasn't my style. No matter how strong my opponent was, I would crush them all the same!
Yes, no matter how strong I was, I still had to have confidence.
