Chapter 36: Nightmare-level Mode Dungeon, Defense Potion
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Sun Conqueror immediately selected the 17 players from the elite group to form a party.
[System Notification: Party has chosen the nightmare-level mode dungeon. Press yes to confirm.]
Li Yi immediately clicked ‘yes’, and the entire square shook slightly. The screen flashed and they entered the inner parts of the dungeon. Before anyone could see their surroundings, each of them received another system notification.
[System Notification: You have entered the nightmare-level mode dungeon. Please clear the dungeon within an hour!]
Li Yi led the group forward in large strides. They have yet to encounter any monsters ahead of them. Instead, what they saw ahead of them was an ancient tower.
Everyone looked at the tower in front of them and sighed in admiration. This ancient tower was shaped like a square and had 5 floors. Each floor was more than ten meters tall.
On the outside of this tower, dark clouds surrounded above it, and bolts of lightning flashed around it like dragons. It was a terrifying sight to behold!
“Before we go in, we have to make it clear that there will be lightning falling from time to time inside the tower. The obvious hint is, don’t touch it. The damage done would be immensely high!”
Then, Li Yi took out Defensive Potions and distributed it to everyone.
“Damn! There’s actually such a potion?”
“This thing... Carefree Dream, you actually have such a thing? Could it be that the materials we collected last time were used to make this? This would be a divine potion in the early stages!” Sun Conqueror looked at the attributes of the potion with a shocked expression. The other guild members were reluctant to drink it, this was because they knew how valuable these potions were by looking at the attributes.
Li Yi spoke indifferently to their words, “If you guys don’t drink this thing, you won’t be able to withstand even a few hits. There won’t be any rewards if you die, remember this!”
Li Yi himself drank the potion after he spoke. Who wouldn’t like a higher defense?
Li Yi was level 9, and his defense had risen to 200 over points. With that, a super warrior with high HP, high defense, and high attack was ready to battle the monsters.
After everyone reluctantly drank the potion, they realized that their defense had risen by a lot. This came along with the confidence they had when they entered the dungeon.
Li Yi walked to the front and stepped on elevated ground. He pushed open the heavy iron door of the ancient tower, and dust bunnies flew all in every direction. It seemed that the ancient tower had been sealed for a long time.
Right when the door was being pushed open, a pungent stench wafted through everyone’s nose. Suddenly, a creature with red eyes bit down on Li Yi’s calf.
“-177.”
[System Notification: Wound infected. This reduces 50 HP per second. Lasts for 10 seconds!]
It was just an attack from an entrance monster, but he had already lost more than 100 HP when his defense was up to 200+ points!
Were they not to drink the Defense Potion, any monster here would be able to kill them with just two hits.
As expected, the monsters here all had high damage!
Li Yi took out his magic weapon and struck the neck of the dark creature. The dark creature withered on the spot.
“-1954! Weak Point Damage!”
The dozen or so people who recovered from the shock immediately reacted, and they focused their attacks on the creature too. They were the elites from Scorching Sun guild, so naturally, they had high damage too.
After drinking the Defense Potion, everyone’s confidence had greatly increased. They immediately charged forward, surrounded the creature, and attacked it.
This was especially true for the female player that held on to the magic staff. From the looks of it, she was one of the elites among the elites. The equipment she wore could be said to be luxurious. With just one look, one could tell that she was wearing a full set of fine-quality equipment.
She already had the skills Fireball, Lightning, and Wind Blade. She was definitely a powerful mage. It seemed that her talent had also increased her spell damage. Otherwise, her damage would not have been so high.
“-274.”
“-222.”
“-423! Critical Hit!”
...
At this moment, everyone finally saw the appearance of this creature more clearly. Its entire body was pitch-black, and its mouth was unusually large. It also revealed a mouthful of sharp white fangs. However, before anyone could find out more about the monster, it had been beaten to death.
Thankfully, before it died, Li Yi checked its attributes.
[Level 9 Dark Demon Dog (nightmare)]
[Health: 6,000]
[Physical Attack: 380]
[Defense: 130]
[Skills: Chain Bite, Sharp Claws]
...
After killing the guard dog, the group slowly made their way into the ancient tower.
The first floor of the ancient tower was filled with rubble. Moreover, the cracked stone floor was filled with suspicious amounts of red liquid that closely resembled blood, and at the same time, moss.
As he took a look around his surroundings, Clutch King felt a little uneasy. “Damn, why is this nightmare-level dungeon so terrifying?” He could not see the entire first floor of the ancient tower clearly, and the visibility distance was only about a hundred meters. The only thing he could see was a path in front of him that led directly to the deepest part of the tower.
There were a large number of Dark Demon Dogs with bloodshot eyes along their path. When the players observed the monsters, the players could see that their fur was haggard, and the monsters all drooled in disgust. The Dark Demon Dogs all glared fiercely at the intruders in front of them.
However, the Dark Demon Dogs did not attack at this moment. It was as if they were waiting for something. Thinking about this oddity, Li Yi raised his head and took a look around him. To his surprise, there seemed to be something slowly condensing in the sky.
Li Yi immediately turned his head. “Quickly retreat, this place is about to be struck by lightning!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a small white light appeared under everyone’s feet. Following that, the sound of thunder accumulated in the sky. Everyone heard the prompt and immediately dived in all directions to avoid the strike.
“Boom!”
A lightning bolt that was half a meter thick struck the spot where they had been standing just now, causing stone chips to explode. Fortunately, everyone had managed to dodge the attack just in time. Otherwise, they would have definitely been sent back to Novice Village.
Li Yi immediately explained to his party members after the situation calmed down.
“Did you all see it clearly? There will be a trigger point for these lightning strikes. There would be a count of two seconds before the lightning strikes. While fighting the monsters, don’t get too engrossed in it. Otherwise, you’ll get hit by one of these. Got it?”
A guild member suddenly asked a question in pleasant surprise, “If we lure the bunch of monsters to the strike point of the lightning, would we be able to find a loophole with this?”
Li Yi immediately shut down this person’s fantastical idea. “Don’t even think about it; there are no loopholes in Divine Revelation. The monsters here are immune to lightning, they prepared for everything in this game!”
Clutch King nodded. “If it was that simple, why would it be called nightmare-level? It should be changed to simple-level.”
Li Yi could not be bothered to talk nonsense at this moment. He had already given his warnings to the other. Were they to die from it now, it would be their own fault.
Then, he rushed towards the monsters, just as the Dark Demon Dog was about to attack, black wisps of shadow rushed out from his body towards the Dark Demon Dog.
“4,800.”
“4,775.”
“9,875! Critical Hit!”
...
The Dark Demon Dogs were instantly reduced to a lower HP than before. A few unlucky ones who received the critical hits immediately died on the spot.
The remaining guild members immediately got into an offensive stance, ready to attack. A large number of Fireballs and other skills rained down on Dark Demon Dogs, as well as the extremely rare area of effect Lightning Skill used by one of the guild members.
Along with Li Yi’s extremely high attack, the first floor’s Dark Demon Dogs were cleared out within ten minutes.. Once it was over, a few pieces of normal equipment dropped.
