Stepping forward, I felt great picking up the loot!
I kicked away the Gargoyle King's leg and found a few pieces of equipment and a large number of stones. Seven or eight of them were Phantasmal Magic Stones. I collected them all. These could be sold for a few hundred gold. If the workshop's funds were squandered by these girls, I could at least eat a week's worth of food.
I inwardly admired my foresight as I picked up the equipment the boss dropped. I was disappointed again and again — [Glimmer Gloves]: Level 75 Metal Armor, Silver-grade, Defense 97, Attack + 1% [Dew Cloak]: Level 75 Metal Armor, Dark Steel – grade, Defense 65, Dodge + 0.5% [Morning Mist War Boots]: Level 75 Metal Armor, Steel-grade, Defense 50, Movement Speed + 0.2%...
Damn, this Gargoyle King was too interesting. The few pieces of equipment that it dropped were actually all common goods. In fact, they couldn't even compare to common goods. They couldn't even compare to the equipment dropped by the Golden-Armored Devil Bug on the previous floor.
Just as I was feeling disappointed, I suddenly saw a dark light on the ground. Upon closer inspection, it was a dark gold light. It was an equipment that was pressed under the boss's body!
I couldn't help but be overjoyed. I raised my leg and kicked with all my strength. The boss's body rolled far away. On the ground was that blood-red spear. Sharp iron spikes floated around the spear's blade. Its attack power definitely wasn't ordinary!
I picked up the spear and its stats jumped in front of me. It was a pleasant surprise — [Bloodbreak Spear] (Dark Gold – grade) Attack: 175 ~ 280, Strength: + 45, Stamina: + 37 Additional: Increases user's attack power by 4%. Additional: 10% chance to add an additional attack chance. Level Requirement: 75...
It was actually a Dark Gold – grade weapon. Even though it was slightly inferior to He Yi's Abyssal Sword, it was still quite powerful. 280 max Attack, a lot of stats, and a 10% chance to add an additional attack chance. This wasn't much different from a 10% increase in attack power.
I picked up the Bloodbreak Spear and threw it into my bag. Mn, I won't sell such a good equipment for now. It would be troublesome if my enemies like Dominating Knight God or Inconstant bought it. I'll give it to Gui Guzi when I return to the city. This guy's health is super high, but his attack power is slightly lacking. As a leader, I can't be biased or I'll be looked down upon.
After dealing with the second floor of the Devil Sealing Tower, it was time to go to the third floor.
I gripped the Purgatory Sword and fearlessly stepped onto the stairs leading to the third floor. A cold wind blew past, and the scenery of the third floor appeared before my eyes. It was actually a scene of spring. Grass and green vines grew everywhere, and the entire tower was covered in green. It was a delightful sight...
"Rustle …"
Beside me, the little skeleton Xinran looked around warily. She held her spear and stared at me coldly. Then, she looked into the distance.
As I slowly walked forward, I was secretly surprised. Are there no monsters here?
That's great, I can directly go to the fourth floor and kill the final Boss. Then I can complete the quest and go eat dinner.
Just as he was rejoicing, a withered vine that was half the height of a person suddenly moved. In the blink of an eye, there was a pair of terrifying eyes on the withered vine. Tsk tsk, this is actually a freaking monster!
The Treant, this was the legendary Treant. It waved its short arms and let out a low roar. It glared at me and in the next moment, it started to run and charged at me!
I unsheathed my sword and charged. It was just a small monster, what was there to be afraid of?
Charge!
I arrived in front of the withered vine with a whoosh and swung my sword repeatedly, instantly deleting about 25% of its HP. It was at this time that I saw the monster's name — Withered Vine Guard, a Level 80 elite mob. Its Attack and Defense were passable, but its HP and Defense were a bit high. Killing it was a bit difficult. Of course, this was only for normal players. The Purgatory Sword in my hand was a 3-star Outstanding item, and the Withered Vine Guard's HP and Defense were only a bit higher. It wouldn't affect me much.
Thud!
The Withered Vine Guard's short arms hit my shoulder and dealt 175 damage. I couldn't help but laugh. What is this, this little attack power? Is it trying to humiliate me?
I swung my sword and killed the Withered Vine Guard.
Pop. Something seemed to drop. Look, it was a Big Magic Stone. Never mind, I don't want it.
I opened my fingers and searched the corpse as usual — Death Plunder!
Swhoosh!
This time, it wasn't the first floor's venom or the second floor's rags, but something useful — Ding ~!
System Notice: Congratulations, you have found [Leaf of Eternity], -5!
… …
Tsk tsk, it's a leaf?
Five leaves appeared in my hand. They weren't leaves, but a kind of herb. A Rank 8 herb, and a very high-rank one at that!
The Leaf of Eternity was an essential ingredient for crafting Rank 8 Health Potions. It looked like I could collect it here?
Alright, I'll just do it for Lin Yixin!
I looked at the mobs on the third floor. There were a lot of Withered Vine Guards. Their Attack was very low, and they almost couldn't break through my Defense. These mobs should be easy to kill. It looked like my chance to aggro them had come!
I looked around and quickly decided on a farming spot. It was a narrow corner of a wall. It was time to start!
I arranged the Dark Wasp and the little skeleton to stay where they were and charged out with the Purgatory Sword. I drew a beautiful S-shaped path through the crowd of mobs, attracting the aggro of the Withered Vine Guards one by one. Then, I brought a sea of withered vines back to the narrow corner of the wall. Fans also liked to read:
Thud!
My cloak hit the wall behind me. After I steadied myself, the Dark Wasp and the little skeleton ran over and stood next to me, one on the left and one on the right. This way, I only needed to face one mob's attack!
The Withered Vine Guards swarmed over. The little skeleton and the Dark Wasp didn't have any aggro on them, so the mobs crowded around the periphery. They paced back and forth but didn't attack.
Yes, everything is ready. Time to start!
I growled and used Wild Roar to increase my Attack by 15%. The Purgatory Sword in my hand trembled slightly as I poured all my strength into it. Thousand Mirage Slash tore through the air!
Boom!
“2549！”
“2474！”
“2239！”
… …
Countless damage values flew up, but that was not the end of it. The numbers on the surface were only a part of the damage. After that one slash, all the Withered Vine Guards in the area lost half of their HP. That was definitely not just 2400 damage, it was at least 10,000 damage!
Everything was as I had calculated. The Purgatory Sword had a 20% splash effect. When I hit a target, the surrounding mobs would also receive 20% splash damage. This way, the splash damage of the mobs in Thousand Mirage Slash's attack range would stack on top of each other, and the overall damage would be terrifying!
Tsk tsk, Thousand Mirage Slash + 20% splash damage. This kind of damage far surpassed a mage's Arctic Rain or an archer's Volley. If the mages and archers of Floating Ice City saw that a warrior like me could grind mobs like this, many of them would probably want to die.
The Rank 7 Thousand Mirage Slash had a cooldown of 15 seconds. Soon, the second wave of attacks came!
Boom!
A large group of monsters collapsed in unison, bringing with them a dense white light of experience as they flew towards me.
Swhoosh!
A ray of golden light fell. Very good, I leveled up again after killing a small group of mobs. I was Level 74 now!
Continue!
I killed a group of Withered Vine Guards with two Thousand Mirage Slashes. The experience was incredible, and the two Thousand Mirage Slashes only took half a minute. Ever since I entered Heavenblessed, I had never grinded mobs so thoroughly. I was almost certain that there was no one in the entire China server who could do this.
After all, I was wielding a 3-star Outstanding Purgatory Sword. It was because of its Outstanding properties that it had a 20% splash effect. Otherwise, a 5% splash effect would be amazing. Compared to a 20% splash effect, that was like the difference between heaven and earth.
Soon, I killed a group of about 300 Withered Vine Guards and used Death Plunder on them. Almost every Withered Vine Guard dropped 5 to 8 Leaves of Eternity, and 100 Leaves of Eternity stacked on top of each other. Soon, I had 20 stacks of Leaves of Eternity in my bag. Thankfully, my bag was a High-grade Army Bag with 100 slots. Adding the original 20 slots, I had a total of 120 stacks. I could still grind more!
After killing a large group of Withered Vine Guards, I didn't stop and continued to run forward. Not long after, I once again lured a large group of monsters into a maze hall. This time, there were at least 500 Withered Vine Guards. My vision was filled with monsters, and the sight of it made my blood boil!
I held a Rank 6 Health Potion in my mouth. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to grind like this. Although the Withered Vine Guards' attack power wasn't that great, their stacks were still quite scary!
It was worth mentioning that I didn't rely entirely on potions to level up. Tenacity of the Dead was one thing, but more importantly, I relied on the super powerful skill Regeneration of the Undead. At Rank 7, Regeneration of the Undead recovered 0.7% of my HP every second. Right now, my max HP was 4000, so I recovered 28 HP every second. Ten seconds was 280 HP, 1680 HP every minute. This kind of amazing recovery speed was enough to make any class feel ashamed!
The further I got into the game, the more obvious the advantage of my undead swordsman class became. This was a good sign!
I stood still and countless Withered Vine Guards surrounded me. Continue killing!
I used Thousand Mirage Slash again and again, causing the Withered Vine Guards to howl in pain.
Not long after, I killed these Withered Vine Guards again and gained 40 stacks of Leaf of Eternity in my bag. I had no choice but to throw away some Phantasmal Magic Stones. I had to leave space for Health Potions and Magic Consumables. Right now, I was also eating Magic Consumables. Tenacity of the Dead consumed 50% of my MP each time. Melee players had low MP, so low-rank Magic Consumables were enough. But whether it was high-rank or low-rank, the space they took up was the same.
Also, I had to bring some food, or else I might starve to death in the Devil Sealing Tower.
… …
I grinded non-stop until 8 pm. Finally, I cleared the third floor of the Devil Sealing Tower. Accompanied by a golden light, I reached Level 75!
I looked at my bag again. There were 100 stacks of Leaf of Eternity. For this thing, I threw away almost everything except equipment, potions, and high-rank Magic Consumables. Of course, I also left a return scroll.
I continued forward. As I expected, the path to the final fourth floor of the Devil Sealing Tower was blocked.
An enormous vine monster entrenched in the middle of the road, a pair of pitch-black eyes staring at me. Behind it, countless branches waved like the Thousand-Armed Guanyin.
The boss of the third floor of the Devil Sealing Tower had appeared!
