Chapter 22: Dungeon: Scarlet Church

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“It seems that you’re tired of living.” The old man’s manner did not change, still remaining fierce.

Mike did not panic at all.

This old man’s strength was off the charts. If he really protected the Palace of the Heavenly King, he would have taken action long ago. Why would he still be talking so much?

Mike, who had seen the hidden information, completely understood the old man’s intention at this moment.

“Will you try to keep me here?” Mike asked.

“Young man, I’m giving you one last chance. Take back all your words and atone your sins towards the Heavenly King’s Palace, and you will still have a chance to get out of here scot-free,” the old man said. freewebnovel.co(m)

If Mike did as he was told, this would not end well. Even if the old man decided not to beat him to death, he would be sent to be judged. After all, he did say bad things about the Heavenly King’s Palace.

Only by struggling against the odds, could one live. There would always be death on the path of life.

“Undead Summon.”

Mike put his hands together, and two of the undead appeared.

“Poison Arrow!”

An arrow shot out.

Then, Mike took off and ran.

Boom!

A wave of air sent the undead flying and disintegrated them along with the Poison Arrow. A wall of wind blocked Mike’s path down the stairs and the suction force pulled him back.

“Trying to run?” The old man grabbed Mike.

F*ck.

Even though Mike’s body was just a doppelganger, he was still scared.

The old man was too strong.

No wonder the old man dared to oppose the Palace of the Heavenly King.

The old man grabbed Mike but did not hurt him. Instead, after looking at him, the old man could not help but laugh cheerily.

“Hahaha!” The old man threw his head back and laughed, unable to conceal his amusement. “How many years... How many years has it been! Finally, I met someone like you who would rather die than support the Heavenly King’s Palace.”

“I...” Mike pretended to be stunned.

“Young man, I don’t care what reason you have to oppose the Heavenly King’s Palace, as long as you oppose it, we are on the same side. In fact, I also oppose the Heavenly King’s Palace,” the old man said.

The old man was just like what was described in the hidden information.

He was a Dark Walker, and he was looking for a successor. Presently, Mike was not qualified to be his successor, but he was qualified to receive super powerful skills.

“To be my successor would be an easy task. I only have one requirement for a successor, which is to maintain my opposition to the Palace of the Heavenly King.” The old man smiled and said, “But if you want to be my successor and inherit everything from me, you need to complete the test to find the ‘Thunder Core’.”

“Thunder Core?” Mike asked.

“A key item that exists in the Silver-Tier dungeon, but I don’t know exactly which Silver-Tier dungeon it is in,” the old man said.

[This person has no ill intentions. The Thunder Core is a key item.]

Seeing the hidden notification, Mike had a rough idea of the situation. It was good that the old man didn’t have any ill intentions.

He would need to enter more Silver-Tiered dungeons in the future.

“However, I can give you some benefits right now. Since you’re against the Heavenly King’s palace, you have the right to obtain it,” the old man said.

‘The super-powerful skill is coming.’ Mike was looking forward to it.

It was better if he pretended that he didn’t know anything and ask what the skill was.

[Obtained Skill: Zero!]

[Zero: A fusion skill. There is no effect in the initial state, but it can fuse all the skills and increase the effectiveness of the skills by 50%.]

“A fusion skill?!”

Mike was shocked. If he could fuse all skills and increase the effect by so much, didn’t that mean that Mike could now obtain all the skills of all the Classes?

This super powerful skill was too powerful.

“Don’t be surprised, there will be more powerful ones in the future if you can find the Thunder Core,” the old man said with a smile.

Then, the old man took out another pitch-black item.

“And this is?” Mike asked.

“This object is called a ‘Shadow’. If you want to enter a dungeon in the future, use this.” The old man said with a smile, “When using the Pass given to you by the palaces and entering the dungeons through their channels, you will be monitored throughout the whole process. There will be no secrets. Even if you manage to find the Thunder Core, they will snatch it away.”

“This item can guarantee that you will not be discovered throughout the entire process. The palaces will not even be able to discover that you have entered the dungeon.”

“Moreover, this item’s authority is extremely great. Basically, you can enter and leave any dungeon at will.”

Mike’s eyes lit up. He was originally thinking about whether he could enter the dungeon using his doppelganger. If he could personally enter the dungeon, there wouldn’t be any pressure anymore.

After that, the old man sat back in his original position and went back to being still as wood.

Mike had things to do, like going into the dungeons and looking for the Thunder Core.

Mike kept the Shadow in his backpack and shared it with the real body. The real body in the magic array could take out the Shadow and immediately go into the dungeon.

[Silver-Tier Dungeon: Dark Demon Den]

[Recommended Level: Level 80]

[Silver-Tier Dungeon: Scarlet Church]

[Recommended Level: Level 30]

...

Silver-Tier dungeons were challenging by themselves, it was not dependent on their levels. They had a large level range, so Mike chose a dungeon that was suitable for his level.

[Scarlet Church Dungeon: Entering]

Mike appeared in the wilderness. He could vaguely see a huge church in the distance. The entire dungeon was very dark.

The church looked even more ominous under the dark clouds.

[Rotting Zombie]

[Overview: Melee Physical, Highly Toxic]

[Level: Level 30]

[HP: 3,000/3,000]

[Attack: 180/180]

[Dual Defense: 100/100, 100/100]

[Agility: 5/5]

[Skills: Bite (Advanced), Sharp Claws (Intermediate)]

[Description: A rotting corpse that has been contaminated. It has a certain level of strength. Although it is not very strong, it tends to gather in groups. Threat: Low.]

There were many zombies around. The ground was loose, and hundreds of zombies were crawling out of it. All of the zombies’ attributes were about the same.

Their movements were slow, but because there were so many of them, Mike had no way out. He could only face them head-on. With a wave of his hand, he cast a Fireball.

– 7,215!

– 7,711.

– 6,925.

– 7,216.

The damage was more than double of the zombie’s HP! He hadn’t even needed to Ignite them.

“How strong will it be after fusing?” Mike couldn’t help but be fascinated.

He used Zero right there on the spot.

[Zero: Learned successfully]

[Fireball: Fused]

[Large Fireball: Fused]

[Flash: Fused]

[Undead Summon: Fused]

[Poison Arrow: Fused]

After fusing, two new skills appeared in Mike’s skill pane: [Undead Summon] and [Poison Arrow].

The original skills had not disappeared. The skills that Mike had not mastered were instantly mastered and the effect of the skills also increased by 50%.

It was the same for the skills that he had fused and originally mastered.

‘Zero’.

This was also a separate skill that could be used. When Mike used ‘Zero’, all the skills that were fused into it were instantly released.

It was a powerful move!

Mike went deep into the Scarlet Church and used Zero on a large group of zombies to test its effect.

– 12,235!

– 16,241!

– 9,882! freewebn(o)vel

Undead Summon... Flash...

As expected, all the skills were used at once.

However, the original skills did not have a cooldown!

Only the skill ‘Zero’ had a cooldown. Fireball, Flash, and the others all did not have a cooldown and they could still be used.

“So, I have two Flashes? All my skills doubled?” Mike was pleasantly surprised.

He fought all the way.

Soon, he dealt with the undead king in the dungeon.

“Unfortunately, there is no Thunder Core.” Mike was disappointed.

[Hidden Information: There is a hidden boss in the depths of the church.]
