Reborn as a Transcendent

In a certain luxury apartment complex in Huadu.

"Ahhhhh!" S.K.Y. jerked up and screamed.

Letting out such a scream at this hour was very disturbing to the public. However, the soundproofing of this unit was excellent. Even if he slaughtered pigs there, his neighbors wouldn't hear it.

"Huff… Huff…Huff…"

S.K.Y. breathed heavily. That feeling of suffering and his heart being pierced, and the sensation of death akin to falling into an icy lake terrified him. After wiping the sweat off his forehead and breathing deeply for a bit, he slowly calmed down.

"I hope I didn't lose the crown."

When a player died, the Equipment they wore had the highest chance of dropping, followed by Equipment in their backpack. Under unusual circumstances, Equipment in a backpack wouldn't drop once they lost an Equipment on their body.

However, there was a unique punishment mechanic in this underground maze. It wouldn't be surprising if he lost equipment on both his body and his backpack at the same time.

"Should I go online and check?" S.K.Y. trembled and whispered to himself.

According to information he received, once someone died in the maze, they would appear outside the maze the next time they logged in and weren't allowed to enter anymore.

Yet, the accuracy of this information was only 70%. Perhaps he would appear in front of the stone soldiers when he logged in again.

"Let's risk it!" He gritted his teeth and decided to enter the game.

He had no choice, since he was worried about the crown in his backpack. That was an Equipment with endless possibilities!

In the game, by the black rockery outside the maze. S.K.Y. appeared in a flash of white light. He heaved a sigh of relief after seeing the familiar scenery.

Opening his backpack to look, his pupils instantly shrank. The corners of his lips raised and his expression slowly became demented.

‘Still there! My crown is still there!'

A black thorny crown quietly laid in his Item Box.

[Abyss Crown]!

"S.K.Y.!" Just as he was about to raise his head and let out a roar of excitement, a familiar voice was heard from not far away. He instantly controlled his expression and looked over, only to see Taurus running over.

"You died too?"

"Yes, what about you, young master Zhang?"

They both said pointless things.

"That's right. I lost a Blue gear, and my heart hurts." Taurus said.

However, his expression didn't seem sorrowful. Instead, his eyes seemed joyous.

"You earned something?" S.K.Y. and Taurus had known each other for many years. They could tell each other's mood just by observing their gaze.

Since he could smell despite losing his blue Equipment, he probably gained something better.

"Hehe, I just can't hide it from you."

"As he spoke, he opened his item box like a kid showing off his toys to his peers and touched a fully black horn."

The next moment, its information was displayed.

Rare Item: [Shadow Horn]

Number of Uses: 2

Description: This is a mysterious item placed in a hidden cave by the second Emperor of the Jade Empire. After blowing it, it will randomly summon a Jade-ranked elite shadow life form to fight for you. 12 hours cooldown.

After reading the item's description, his expression changed slightly while feeling a shock in his heart.

‘Jade-ranked means it's at least level forty, and it's also an elite summoned creature. It's equivalent to a Master Elite Magic Beast! Although he can only use it twice, this is undoubtedly a trump card. This guy is just too lucky!'

"Heheh, with this horn, hunting Black-hearted Princess will be all the more easier!" Taurus laughed madly.

"Indeed." S.K.Y. nodded, then let out a smile of his own. "You actually earned such a powerful item, you're so lucky, young master Zhang! Unlike me, after I fell, I got chased by a bunch of monsters and eventually fell to my death."

After speaking, he retracted his smile and sighed heavily while inspecting his own Item Box.

"Sigh. Fortunately, I only lost two pieces of green Equipment, otherwise I would have lost big."

Seeing S.K.Y.'s demeanor, Taurus tapped his shoulder hard and comforted him, "it's fine, as long as you have your purple Equipment, it's not that bad. We have the [Shadow Horn] now. Once we increase everyone's Level, it will be time for harvest!"

"Hehe, that's right." Hearing that, S.K.Y. smiled bitterly.

Yet, he felt nothing in his heart. He was different from Taurus. He will never disclose the fact that he attained that crown, no matter what. Its mere existence would make him a sinner.

S.K.Y. would potentially boast about his family background like Taurus if they had a similar upbringing, but this is not the case. Human beings are multifaceted and unpredictable, and S.K.Y. cannot be certain that Taurus won't attempt to take the [Abyss Crown] after seeing it.

Despite being well-acquainted in person, using deceitful tactics or evading responsibility would not be effective. However, due to the Zhang Family's significant influence in Huadu, they could easily detain and potentially harm S.K.Y. without difficulty, as long as they did so discreetly.

‘Fortunately, I can set my equipment to hidden. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to use an Artifact even if I have one.' S.K.Y. thought.

As they strolled towards the square, they conversed with joy, but unbeknownst to anyone, a set of bloodshot eyes emerged behind S.K.Y. before vanishing after a single blink as if it had never appeared.

Inside a certain cave in the underground maze.

Yaeger and the rest had cleared out all enemies on the eighth floor. They were now heading to the ninth floor using the teleportation formation. In a sudden burst of white light, they materialized within an arena.

"Huh?" Looking at the massive arena that seemed imposing, Yaeger tilted her head slightly in confusion.

"Fatal Arena? This is troublesome." At this time, Alicia said uneasily.

"What's the trouble?" Yunuen asked.

"This ancient arena has its own rules. For example, regardless of the difference in strength on both sides, they must fight one another. Moreover, a winner must be decided once they enter the arena. The loser has only one outcome, death."

"Got it, isn't this just an octagon fight?" Yaeger smiled indifferently.

She wouldn't face any trouble since enemies were only Level thirty at most in this maze.

"You can put it this way. However, it's different from a typical ring fight. This arena has no so-called fair rules. Because this is a trial, so…"

Alicia was interrupted by Yeager before she could finish.

"It's fine, just step aside and watch. I'll be right back."

After speaking, she jumped onto that massive arena and waited for her opponent to face death.

"Hey, I'm not done yet." Alicia pouted her lips in dissatisfaction.

Rumble!

At this moment, a massive stone gate slowly rose from the empty audience hall. Within the dark space, a pair of blood-red eyes glimmered. Immediately after, a giant being jumped out.

Boom!

The moment it landed, the entire arena shook.

"Roar!" After balancing herself, she noticed a Magic Beast with black scales roaring into the air, which seemed like both a lizard and a dragon.

"Iz you!" Seeing such a familiar appearance, Yaeger couldn't help but exclaim, "Swift Black Dragon!"

This Magic Beast was the Demi Dragon that she once killed under the cliff, Swift Black Dragon. Not only that, it was actually Level 40!
