Whilst being accompanied by a soft system notification, a new message appeared in the view of Boxlunch and his teammates.

“Finally, we triggered a quest!”

“Haha, our captain really is capable! And it’s a hidden Quest!”

Looking at the quest scroll icon in the game system’s task menu, the five players’ eyes lit up with excitement.

However, after reading the Quest reward portion, they felt a slight disappointment…

“Huh…we’d only get only 3000 contribution points…That’s not even enough to buy one resurrection coin, which costs 40 coins totaling 4000 contribution points.”

They weren’t particularly concerned about getting EXP anymore, as reaching level 40 meant their experience points wouldn’t increase further.

Even tasks that offered EXP were of little use to them at this point.

But…isn’t the reward of mere 3000 contribution points a bit too little?

Everyone felt a bit disappointed.

However, their disappointment lasted only a moment, as they soon noticed another reward besides the contribution points…

“Huh? Wait…look, there’s another reward?”

“Advanced Jobclass Slot? What’s that?”

Everyone in the team were puzzled at this new, unfamiliar term.

Boxlunch furrowed his brows slightly, then focused his attention on the reward named “Advanced Jobclass Slot”.

And as his attention focused onto it, a detailed information box about this particular reward immediately popped up in his view:

Advanced Jobclass Slot: For the next game update, any players who obtain the Advanced Jobclass Slot will have the opportunity to transition into Advanced Jobclass, potentially gaining stronger abilities under certain conditions…】

Prerequisites for transitioning into Advanced Jobclass

1. Advanced Job feature enabled.

2. Player must at least reach level 40.

3. Transition cost: 30,000 contribution points.

The five players exchanged excited glances, their eyes lighting up with curiosity as they pored over the description.

“Advanced Jobclass? Stronger abilities?”

They were already at the maximum level cap, and their equipment could be considered the best set at the server.

All that was left for them to do was to accumulate more contribution points in order to replace all their equipment with the recently released high-class superior legendary gear.

At this moment, this unfamiliar reward before their eyes sparked their wildest imagination…

“A second job transition…when we first transitioned, we advanced from apprentices to Iron-rank. Could this be an opportunity to reach Silver-rank?! Is the devs finally going to increase the level cap and allowed us to become Silver-rank experts?”

Calabash spoke with a voice tinged with excitement.

Although he still hadn’t experienced the thrill of being at the maximum level for long, after encountering various powerful monsters in the game, Calabash still hoped to advance to higher levels.

He wasn’t the only player with such thoughts as his other teammates also thought the same thing.

Unlike other long-standing MMORPGs that increase the level cap by ten with each major update, Elven Kingdom seemed to have already perfected its leveling system.

Under these circumstances, most players will naturally have a stronger desire to reach higher levels.

“It’s very likely! But… it says ‘reservation’ in the reward description, and it mentions waiting for the next update. This is probably a feature that will be implemented in the game’s next update!”

Optimist remarked and the others nodded in agreement with his speculation.

“Guys, we must complete this quest at all cost!”

Determination could be seen within everyone’s eyes.

Boxlunch drew his dagger and spoke solemnly.

“Let’s go, chase after it.”

The other members of his team nodded vigorously, then accelerated in the direction where the smoke trail of miasma was left behind by the Shadow Dragon…

The Shadow Dragon named Darkness, soared through the vast expanse of the underground.

Along the way, every creature that saw him panicked and hid. Monsters, beasts, and other sentient races on the ground trembled all in fear, while other smaller flying creatures in the air fled in terror upon encountering him.

Some even go to the extent of deliberately falling to the ground before pretending to be dead…

The higher the intelligence and strength of beings are, the more frightened they become, as they can keenly sense Darkness’ might…

And the Shadow Dragon from the Netherworld sensed all this.

“Hmph, what a bunch of pitiful weaklings.”

A hint of disdain and faint pride flickered in the eyes of this mythical demigod creature.

After flying for a couple of miles, he gradually slowed down and hovered in the air before advancing towards a certain direction.

With each beat of his wings, the landscape transformed beneath him…

After flying over an underground water system, he arrived at a massive lake of lava burning with flames.

A vast volcanic lake sprawled before him, its edges encircled by underground water systems. Hot lava churned within its crater, sending up waves of heated smoke into the sky.

The sharp, acrid scent of sulfur filled the air, making every breath a struggle. The harsh and terrifying landscape resembled a scene from purgatory.

After encircling the skies for a little while, Darkness revealed his terrifying aura and respectfully shouted towards the crater of the volcanic lake:

“I, Devouring Dragon Darkness, a Shadow Apostle under the throne of the Lord of Darkness and Shadow, come to pay respects to His Lordship Asazel!”

His deep voice resonated far above the volcanic lake…

Shortly after Darkness’s voice fell, the crater of the volcanic lake suddenly began to boil, and bubbles burst into blossoms of bright flower-like red lava, as thick magma constantly rose to its surface.

A huge vortex then appeared in the center of the volcanic lake.

As soon as the vortex emerged, the entire volcanic lake started to tremble, releasing an ancient, malevolent, chaotic aura from its depths.

The vortex in the center of the crater then began swirling up, before morphing into a face resembling a flame demon with a goat head, as a majestic voice filled with indifference echoed from within the very depths of the volcano’s caldera.

“One of H?dur’s Shadow Apostles? What does that guy H?dur want from this old man?”

Darkness seemed indifferent to the disrespect shown by the other party towards his master as he simply bowed his head and replied:

“Your Lordship Asazel, my master has ordered me to come here to your dominion to ask this question…”

“The mana within Seigües is beginning to recover. Would you like to quickly regain your power?”

After listening to his words, the gigantic face of the goat demon in the center of the volcanic lake fell into silence.

But after a moment, a powerful aura began spread out.

The pressure was so terrifying that even Darkness, whose hovering in the sky, was forced to lower himself to a solitary island on the edge of the volcanic lake, and bow toward the direction of the flame demon…

“What message do your master wish to convey?”

The voice from the volcanic lake carried a subtle, indifferent tone.

Darkness buried his head deeper.

Facing the direction of the volcanic lake, he respectfully responded:

“Your Lordship Asazel, I have brought a few interesting little critters with me. You’ll know everything once you take a look at them…”

With that, the Shadow Dragon turned swiftly around and unleashed a billowing smoke of ashen-black miasma towards the vast water system adjacent to the volcanic lake.

His smoke breath then turned into a huge cage, ensnaring five startled elves who had concealed themselves underneath the water.

They were then swiftly propelled towards the colossal visage of the goat demon in the crater of the volcano.

“Fuck! When did it discovered us?!”

Every members of Boxlunch’s team, who were captured in that moment, had horrified expressions.
