Chapter 159: Is That It?
-1768
The damage isn’t high, but the force is substantial.
The Boss was finally interrupted, staggering back a few steps.
“I can’t face the Queen anymore… I want you all… dead…” Zardana muttered, consciousness foggy.
At that moment, the Fire Ring dissipated.
Star Cat rushed over, using a breath of ice to freeze the weakened flames.
The Boss, trapped in the ice block, looked like ash, offering no resistance and losing the will to fight.
It’s over.
Suppressing his discomfort, Zane continued to swing the Magic Sword, controlling Starry to perform another Ice Moon Slash.
Treika casually discarded her longbow, drew her arrows, and wielded them like daggers, stabbing at Zardana repeatedly, looking extremely terrifying.
If she were dealing with a normal creature rather than an element, she would surely be splattered with blood, becoming a legendary witch.
With 90,000 health, it’s high for an average player, but for these three, it was no challenge.
Half a minute later, the fiery aura completely dissipated under the Ice Cone.
Starry directly leveled up to 32, Zane reached 31, and Star Cat followed to 31 as well.
The experience requirement after level 30 increased significantly, so leveling up slowed down relatively.
Even so, the experience from the level 40 Gold Boss was still quite substantial.
As the flames slowly faded, a fire-wreathed battle robe and a glowing flame were left behind.
Reaching out, the properties of the equipment surfaced.
Fire Battle Robe:
Rarity: Gold Tier
Required Level: 40
Health: 1200
Physical Defense: 105
Magical Defense: 167
Magical Attack Power: 250
Intelligence: 110
Spirit: 97
Stamina: 75
Traits: Flame Enhancement, increases all fire-type skills’ attack power by 33%.
Special Skill: Fire Ring, summons a ring of fire to protect oneself, dealing 75%*2 damage to enemies within a 3-yard radius per second, lasting 5 seconds, and has a cooldown of 10 minutes.
Description: A robe composed of powerful fire energy, possessing ample scorching magical power.
What a strong piece of armor! As a level 40 Gold Tier item, its attributes are undeniable, and just the Fire Ring alone raises its value to a whole new level. Moreover, the Flame Enhancement trait… is like adding wings to those fire-focused mages.
Just one explosive fire can take out anyone who displeases you.
Zane wiped his saliva; it could only be used at level 40, so he’d save it for later.
Then there was that flickering flame.
Flame Core (Abundant): The core of a Fire Element Spirit.
A brief line of description, and nothing else.
“What is this…?” Zane pondered.
“The Flame Core, it’s said to only appear on high-level Fire Element Spirits; I didn’t expect it to be true.”
“What’s it used for?”
“Um… let me think, it should be good for burning firewood!” Treika said without hesitation.
“…” Zane was speechless, “You should tend to your wounds first.”
“Ugh…!” She finally felt the pain, biting her soft lips, with tears glistening in her eyes, looking pitiful.
“Are you okay…?” Zane felt a bit at a loss; he wasn’t very good at comforting girls!
The Light Elf shook her head, signaling not to worry, then crossed her hands, releasing white light.
Radiance!
+3017
+3017
+3017
…
Every half second, a healing number of 3000 appeared, restoring her health bar to full.
Her wounds healed as if they had never existed, and Zane’s health was also replenished along with it.
“Do you need a rest?” Zane asked.
“…” Treika was silent for a moment, “No, let’s head back first.”
If he guessed correctly, the burning Zardana corresponded to the bright red energy line of the Wind Guardian Spirit.
He didn’t know what would happen after he died or if his underlings would provide energy again.
These were all still unknown, so they needed to return to the initial forest to verify the situation.
“Mm.”
Just as he took a step.
The ground suddenly shook.
Zane almost lost his balance and fell.
Moreover, he didn’t know when the temperature had started to drop continuously, snowflakes drifting down, and green grass around them growing rapidly.
What happened? The Wish—Frost hadn’t activated!
The tremors from underground grew stronger, and the grass had unknowingly reached his feet, covering the surrounding rocky ground.
Snow blanketed everything, lingering with a cold temperature on Zane’s golden hair.
What in the world is going on!?
“Tre…?” He turned his head, his gaze frozen at that moment.
The Light Herald—Treika had already been frozen into an ice sculpture.
The stones on the ground rose high, lifting the ice sculpture up within them.
But it wasn’t done; green branches twisted upward, binding the stones into a large green dumpling, then flew off into the distance.
Zane was dumbfounded; they actually kidnapped her right in front of him!?
He quickly transformed into the Swift Shadow Wolf, and Starry summoned the Ice Frost Tiger to ride on.
“Hmph.”
A distant, disdainful female voice could be faintly heard.
In the next moment, exceptionally pure snowflakes sparkled and danced toward him, dropping the already low temperature even further.
This is problematic; this thing cannot be engaged with.
The White Wolf sprinted at full speed, dodging the strange snowflakes and chasing after Treika’s direction.
A glance back revealed…
Where was the grass, trees, and rocky ground? Only the cold glaciers remained.
…
“President, I’ve called everyone, but…” the African chieftain hesitated.
“Just say it; don’t be so wishy-washy.”
“She refuses to come.” In fact, she hadn’t responded at all; this was just a more polite way of saying it.
“Is that so… Never mind, whether she comes or not is the same.” Tian Zhi Yun Ao shook his head with a headache; he was happy to have a hidden class stationed, but not following orders was another matter.
Although that person hadn’t joined the guild, their relationship as vice-leader could already be considered as part of their own. He’d have to find time to talk with her properly.
“By the way, how much cold crystal ore have we mined?”
“About 100+ pieces. But that’s just the part at the cave’s entrance; we haven’t explored further inside.”
“… No, send more people; we can’t let this place hold us back. We need to finish mining a round and figure out the respawn time.”
“Okay!”
…
When they arrived at the coordinates where Yuhua was calling, it was already crowded.
A small cave entrance was completely blocked by a large circle of high-level players.
Upon a rough look, everyone was above level 20, and judging from the glow of their equipment, each had a few pieces of black iron gear, with even a couple of silver tier items mixed in, making for a pretty luxurious lineup.
“Why is Cloud’s Edge like this? This map is open to everyone; how can your guild just claim ownership?” One player couldn’t hold back.
“Yeah! Dream of the Mists isn’t opened by you Cloud’s Edge; why can’t we enter?”
“Is this the first guild? Is this your attitude? Afraid that others will take a bit of ore and overshadow you?”
The players’ noisy voices intertwined, making this area resemble a bustling market.
