Virtual World: Conquering the World

Chapter 124: Dark sentry

"Pa, pa, pa!"

The high level Sweeping Away Thousand Soldiers hit the Corroded Armour Skeleton three times to blow them away!

"1784!"

"1892!"

"1901!"

With this incredible damage, I sent out an Ice Wind Thorn and directly pierced the armour of the Corroded Armour Skeleton.  After piercing through it, the Corroded Armour Skeleton turned into bones and dropped two gold coins, as well as a rusty old iron sword.

[Corroded Rusty Sword] (Trash Tier)

Additional: Quest item.  Can't be dropped, can't be traded, can be stacked.

...

It really was the quest item!  I could get it even without accepting the quest first!

So I didn't rush to take the quest and continued to kill the mobs.  With the power of the Roaring Flame SpearI could take the life of a Corroded Armour Skeleton with a round of skills.  With the increased experience from an Enhanced Monster, my experience bar also quickly increased!

Even so, I wasn't satisfied with the speed I was killing the mobs at, so I pulled in a bunch of Corroded Armour Skeletons and led them to the edge of the valley, letting them form a line.  I quickly pulled out the Star Chasing Bow and the Thousand Bladed Arrows instantly wreaked havoc!

My bow's attack had already reached 900, so it was quite different from the attack of a noob level 46 archer.  With a round of the Thousand Bladed Arrows, there was a large bunch of damage figures that appeared above me as almost all the skeletons received over a thousand damage.

Like this, although my supply of MP pots quickly decreased, my leveling speed increased greatly.  In just half an hour, a large pile of monsters had turned into experience, as well as a bunch of potions, and even some sparkling pieces of equipment!

I immediately went forward and put everything in my inventory.  Over a hundred Corroded Armour Skeletons dropped close to 300 gold coins, 54 of the quest items, as well Bronze Equipment that was also a part of a set!

It was a helmet and a chestplate.

[Bloodthirsty Helmet] (Bronze Equipment - Armour)

Defense: 60

Strength: +12

Vitality: +8

Set effect: ???

Required level: 45

(Unidentified)

[Bloodthirsty Chestplate] (Bronze Equipment - Armour)

Defense: 65

Strength: +14

Vitalit: +10

Set effect: ???

Required level: 45

(Unidentified)

...

I was filled with joy, this set equipment's stats really were quite good!  There was defense and there was attack.  Although I only got two pieces, I was confident in getting the rest.  Moreover, the name was the Bloodthirsty Set, so it must be related to thirsting for blood, which would definitely help warriors with PKing!

I happily threw the pieces of Bronze Equipment into my inventory and continued killing mobs!

Time quickly passed and it was already five in the morning in the blink of an eye.  My inventory was already quite full since there were 21 pieces of the Bloodthirsty Set that dropped, for a total of three sets.  There were also 3000 gold coins that dropped, so the harvest was quite good!

In my inventory, there were over 600 Corroded Rusty Swords, so I should go turn in the quest.

Looking around, after I wildly killed mobs, there were over 98% of the Corroded Armour Skeletons who were dead.  There were only a few who continued to exist in the corners.  It seems like if I wanted to keep leveling, I had to find another place.  It was a good thing that in these six hours, I had already leveled up twice, so I was now already level 47.  I believe that I would be able to return to the level rankings in just a few hours!

Coming to the small hill, I talked to the leader of the Memorial Park Guards.

"Ding~!"

System notification: You have received the task [Cleaning the Corroded Armour Skeleton (Can be repeated)].  (Quest difficulty: 180)

Quest content: Help the Memorial Park Guardsmen kill Corroded Armour Skeletons and collect the rusted swords from them.  When you have collected 50 rusted swords, you can hand them over to the Memorial Park Guardsmen!

...

Without a word, I accepted the quest and began handing over the quest items.  It would be once for every 50 swords.

"Ding~!"

System notification: You have completed the quest  [Cleaning the Corroded Armour Skeleton].  You have received 180000 experience, 200 gold coins, and 150 prestige.

...

With the dings from the system notifications, my experience quickly rose.  A section of my experience bar increased with each quest I turned in!

After turning it in 13 times, I was pleasantly surprised to find that I already reached level 48!

I quickly opened the level rankings.

"Ha, ha, father is back!"

I broke out in laughter as the anger in my chest was all gone!  Humph!  Fated and Bloodthirsty, just you wait, I will get back what is owed!

But when I entered the level rankings again, I pushed out Ling Xue at the tail.  If she were to know this, I don't know what she would think.

I tidied up my inventory.  I only had a third of my potions left, so I couldn't keep killing mobs at all.  Moreover, I was level 48 now, so to kill those level 50 skeletons was something I wasn't willing to do.

So I looked forward and saw that the deeper place in front of me was covered in thick mist.  I couldn't see what was ahead at all.

At this time, the leader of the Memorial Park Guards looked at me before saying with a sigh, "The forces of darkness are gathered further away.  Although our Sunset City is the core of the forces of light, the powers of darkness will take every chance they can get and they have established a temporary sentry in front.  Young man, are you willing to help the Sunset Kingdom complete a difficult quest?"

"Ding~!"

System notification: Will you accept the quest [Destroy the forces of darkness' sentry]?

...

I was a bit surprised.  I didn't want to sleep yet, I could still play for a few hours!  Accept!

"Ding~!"

System notification: You have accepted the quest [Destroy the forces of darkness' sentry]!  (Quest difficulty: 480)

Quest content: Find the forces of darkness sentry in front and kill all the dark soldiers there.  As well, kill the leader of the sentry post and bring it back to the Memorial Park Guards.

...

It was another killing quest, I liked it!

So I organized everything and bid farewell to the Memorial Park Guards before heading off into the night.

The ground in front was much more muddy, so it was very uncomfortable to take each step.  It was a good thing that in less than half an hour, I stepped on dry black ground again.  In the night, I could see a few lights which was actually the camp of the creatures of darkness.

There were several glassy eyed soldiers with spears gathered around a fire.  They used to be humans, but they degenerated into slaves of the armies of hell, so they had already lost their humanity.  Not far away, there were several tents among the trees and by the sides of the tents, there was a demon beast tamer at the entrance with a fierce looking Gust Wolf sitting beside it.

I counted them and there were a total of three fires with around seven to eight spear soldiers by each fire.  The stats of the spear soldiers were quite high, perhaps I might not be able to fight back if they ganged up on me.

[Dark Spear Soldier] (Elite Monster)

Level: 65

Attack: 720-850

Defense: 400

HP: 45000

Attack: Piercing attacks, deals extra damage to cloth armour.

...

It's actually a level 65 Elite Monster, this was trying to take my life!

Although I knew that they were hard to handle, I still steeled myself.  There was no choice, if I didn't take out these spear soldiers, I couldn't finish this quest.  The 480 difficulty of the quest should come from this!

Changing to the Star Chasing Bow, I sent an ice arrow to hit the outermost Dark Speak Soldier!

"Ao, ao!"

There was a strong chain reaction as seven Dark Spear Soldiers all raised the spears in their hands to chase me!

I secretly complained, these spear soldiers really were too fast, they were already in front of me in the blink of an eye!  It was impossible to kite them and use the Thousand Bladed Arrows.  It was fine with the slow monsters of the Hero Memorial Park, but to dream about it here, it was seeking death!

So I changed to the Roaring Flame Spear and sent an Ice Wind Thorn at the frontmost spear soldier.

"Peng!"

With a blue light, there was snow that appeared around me before a damage figure appeared above the head of the Dark Spear Soldier, 2547!

This damage figure wasn't bad, but the ones behind had already charged over and their spears were slashing down at my armour!

"427!

"534!"

These two damage numbers made me complain.  I already had over 700 defense, but I was still so vulnerable in front of these high level monsters!

The four Dark Spear Soldiers came forward and I gritted my teeth.  The Roaring Flame Spear turned into a red crescent as I released the Whirlwind Slash and pushed those four spear soldiers back.  Moreover, there was on that was petrified and couldn't move for 60 seconds.

The pressure on me was still very big even like this as I lost half my 3720 points of HP.  If this continued, I might die in just a few minutes!

At this time, I suddenly thought of Purple Rhyme.  If she was here, I could forcefully kill these mobs, but it was too bad she wasn't.  So I could only use my heal to add around a hundred points of HP before using HP pots to make up the difference.

"Ka, ka"

With this sound, I found that these Dark Spear Soldiers held their spears at their chests, but that also blocked the spear soldiers who wanted to come forward!

I had an idea and quickly moved back several steps to the right.  There were two Dark Spear Soldiers that chased me and sweeping out their spears, they blocked the ones from behind that wanted to come forward!

"Huchi!  Huchi!"

Although the spear soldiers behind had blood red eyes, they couldn't do anything.  When they tried to pass by their companions, I moved at a 45 degree angle to change the direction of the attack, so the one or two spear soldiers in front blocked the rest.  Like this, all the other spear soldiers could only stand there helplessly!

I cleared my mind and didn't dare let my focus break since if it did, I might lose a level here which I definitely wouldn't allow!  I was still counting on this quest to reach level 49!

"Shua, shua!"

With a Sweeping Away Thousand Soldiers, the first spear soldier fell down and dropped several gold coins.  Damn, it really took quite a bit of energy to kill this Elite Monster! 

Just like this, it took me close to five minutes to kill each Dark Spear Soldier.  When I carefully killed these seven Dark Spear Soldiers, close to an hour had already passed!

There was a pile of gold coins, as each spear soldier gave quite a bit.  There were a total of around 200 gold coins!  Moreover, the experience bar went from level 48 7% to level 48 15%.  Each spear soldier was 1% of my experience bar, so I would reach level 49 if there were a hundred of them.  It was a pity that this camp only had around 20 Dark Spear Soldiers.

When I spent an hour and a half finishing the other two groups of spear soldiers, the sun had already risen.  It was seven thirty in the morning and the girls in the studio hadn't woken up yet.  They were playing all day yesterday, so they probably didn't want to wake up yet.

The sky in the game also gradually lit up.  There was a pile of Dark Spear Soldier corpses in front of me and my experience bar had reached level 48 32%.  However, what made me frustrated was that there wasn't a single piece of equipment that dropped, it really was a bit too much.

Next it was the demon monster trainer that was guarding the tents in the camp!

Before starting, I first looked at their stats to know if I could win against them

[Giant Demon Beast Trainer] (Elite Monster)

Level: 65

Magic attack: 550-720

Defense: 180

HP: 15000

Additional: Summoning Spell (Gale Wolf)

[Gale Wolf] (Elite Monster)

Level: 65

Attack: 650-800

Defense: 280

HP: 60000

Additional: Bloodthirsty, increases personal attack speed by 25%.

...

I secretly took a cold breath, it really was abnormal!  It was a good thing that my Star Eyes let me see the stats of these mobs.  If it was anyone else, they would choose to kill the Gale Wolf first since the pet was usually the strongest attack, so instant killing this high damage dealer was the best way.

But this tactic didn't work here since this fierce Gust Wolf had 60000 HP.  It really was unknown how long it would take and the master only had 15000 HP, as well as having the cloth armour of a mage, so they didn't have any defense at all.

Kill the king before the pawns!  If the Giant Demon Beast Tamer was killed, the Gust Wolf would be dismissed and there would be no need to waste time on it!

After making my decision, I immediately silently went forward.  However, when I was ten yards away from the demon beast tamer, the Gust Wolf on the ground with closed eyes suddenly piqued its ears as it had actually noticed my approach!
