Chapter 117: Undead General! The Boss on the Tower’s Highest Floor!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
When the players from Night City and Dark Cloud City arrived at Amber City, they saw a soul-stirring scene.
A dense crowd was packed from the teleportation point to the square.
No one expected that so many players would gather in Amber City just to watch the live broadcast of Maise the God’s challenge.
“There must be at least 100,000 people here!”
“These people couldn’t enter the square, so they’re stuck here!”
“F*ck, can you give way? We also want to go to the square to watch the live broadcast!”
The players were on the verge of collapse.
They had spent so much effort to teleport here, but now they couldn’t even get through.
At this time, they could only open the world channel to watch the transcribed live broadcast.
“Brothers, the latest news!”
“The 19th floor of the Battle Tower!”
“Monster level: 35!”
“The ascending passage will open in 20 minutes!”
......
“Grade: Platinum!”
Seeing this, the players were dumbfounded.
Level 35?
Platinum-grade?
20 minutes of non-stop monsters?
Who could withstand this?!
“Maise the God!”
“He can’t possibly fail on the 19th floor, right?”
Some could not help but speculate.
Soon, some with malicious intent spread rumors on the world channel, saying that Maise the God could not pass the 19th floor. As for the final three-piece platinum-grade equipment set, he couldn’t possibly get it either.
The rumors spread like wildfire.
Immediately after, the players in the square revealed worried expressions.
“Maise the God, if you can’t clear the 19th floor, then don’t force yourself!”
“After all, if you get beaten out of the dungeon, there are a lot of players here who want to deal with you!”
“Many people may be watching the live stream here, but everyone has their own thoughts. No one knows if they have bad intentions.”
While the players were discussing, a young man raised a hand. Then, people looked over and found that this player was holding a scroll for an employment quest.
“If anyone can kill Maise the God, I will provide 100,000 gold coins and five sets of gold-grade equipment! Those who are capable can come and accept the employment quest!” The young man held the scroll high and said to the people around him.
For a moment, the players in the square were stunned.
Issuing a quest to assassinate Maise the God here?
Who sent this young man?
What was his purpose?!
At this moment, the players realized the variety of people in the game.
Even if Maise the God was so powerful, there were still people who wanted to assassinate him.
“Even if you want to kill Maise the God, you shouldn’t be so direct, right?”
“I still remember clearly what happened in the Dragon’s Lair dungeon. The players who accepted the assassination quest all returned to the resurrection point!”
“We don’t want to end up like them.”
The players discussed in low voices.
As the youth was too ostentatious with the employment quest scroll, he was immediately attacked by the players.
A black fog covered the youth, and soon after, a demon’s face appeared above the youth’s head.
Boom!
The demon’s bloody mouth opened and swallowed the youth in one gulp.
When the youth was spit out of the mouth, only a pile of bones was left.
Then, five streams of black fog rushed out of the nostrils and ears of the demon…
When the surrounding players saw this scene, they felt suffocated.
A demon?
Black fog?
What class was this?
At this moment, a man who was emitting a cold aura walked up.
If someone had seen him in Moonlight City, they would’ve realized that he was the demon judge with the ID “Infinite Sin”.
Although Moonlight City had been destroyed by the Gi-pterosaur, the demon judge was one of the few who had survived.
“Infinite Sin!”
“This name sounds so familiar!”
“What is he trying to do?!”
The players looked over and saw that the other party had squatted and picked up the items that the young man had dropped.
[Ding! Congratulations to the player Infinite Sin for obtaining 1,000 gold coins and a gold-grade set of equipment!]
After seeing these rewards, Infinite Sin shook his head.
He clearly remembered that this man had issued many assassination quests in Amber City. Logically speaking, he should not have so few things on him.
The possible explanation was that this man was working for a large faction behind him.
The reason why he wanted to get rid of this man was because of the evil things that the other party had done.
At this moment, a demonic aura engulfed Infinite Sin’s body and his figure became hazy. Then, he left.
To other players, the moment they saw Infinite Sin, they took him as a bad person.
After he left, then they only slowly let out a sigh of relief.
“I didn’t expect there to be a demon class in the world of Sword and Magic!”
“Oh my God!”
“I wonder if this demon-class player will participate in the Professional Competition!”
…
After some shock, the players continued to watch the live broadcast of Maise the God’s challenge.
After all, the employment quest was just an interlude.
No one knew about the big forces behind all this, so they didn’t care much about this matter.
At this moment, Jiang Bai had entered the nineteenth floor and had summoned Vivienne and Wan Qing as well.
With the addition of Ickes that he had summoned earlier, the three goddess familiars once again fought together.
“Save your strength! Wait until the last floor to go all out!” Jiang Bai reminded them.
He remembered clearly that the twentieth floor was starkly different from the previous floors.
On the 20th floor, there would only be one monster boss.
That monster boss had an unparalleled single-target damage skill.
As long as one was hit by the skill, players and familiars with a level difference of more than five levels compared to the boss would be instantly killed on the spot.
Hearing Jiang Bai’s words, Ickes, Vivienne, and Wan Qing turned around.
Light flowed in their eyes, revealing the charm of the goddesses.
Then, they nodded in tacit understanding.
“Okay!”
…
Not long after.
The demonic beasts on the nineteenth floor were also taken care of.
[Ding! The ascending passage has been opened!]
[The players can choose to enter the twentieth floor or leave here. EXP and gold coins will be saved!]
In the game, a choice panel appeared.
When the players in the square saw it, they looked at Maise the God with solemn eyes.
To be honest, they hoped that he would not enter the last floor.
After all, he had already obtained a large amount of EXP and gold coins from the first nineteen floors.
It would not be a loss to leave like this…
However, to their surprise, Maise the God did not even think before choosing to enter the ascending passage straight away.
[Warning! Warning! Warning!]
[The 20-story Battle Tower! The monster boss on the highest floor has sensed the players’ invasion and is enraged!]
[The 20-story Battle Tower! The monster boss on the highest floor has sensed the players’ invasion and is enraged!]
[The 20-story Battle Tower! The monster boss on the highest floor has sensed the players’ invasion and is enraged!]
…
At the same time when the notification sounded, the tower shook more than a dozen times.
Along with the shaking of the tower, the players in the square realized that the ground was shaking as well.
“F*ck!”
“What kind of monster is the boss on the last floor?!”
“Whether it’s the shaking of the tower or the shaking of the ground… It’s not a good omen…”
The players looked up in surprise.
At this moment, a monster that almost filled the ten-meter-long screen appeared.
Although the camera of the live broadcast had zoomed out, the demonic beast still covered the entire screen.
Then, the live broadcast camera continued zooming out until the full picture of the demonic beast and the entire twentieth floor was displayed…
At this moment, the players gulped crazily.
On the screen, they saw many skeletons, all left behind by people who had died there previously…
The scene was just horrifying!
Next to the boss was a man with tears streaming down his face. He was the disciple of the regional emissary.
“Adventurer! Please save me!” The man cried out in despair.
Then, the interface of the boss appeared.
[Demonic Beast: Undead General!]
[Level: 37]
[Grade: Platinum (Tier 2)]
[Reminder: The undead general can summon the souls of the dead and turn them into undead warriors to form an undead army. Lastly, please be wary of the undead general’s single-target damage skill…]
[Strength: 2,500]
[Stamina: 2,000]
[Defense: 3,150]
[Agility: 2,555]
[Skills: Summon Undead (platinum – level 10), Unead Strengthening (platinum -level 10), Soul Absorb (platinum – level 7), … Hidden Skill (platinum – level 15), …]
As the undead general’s interface appeared, everyone was in an incomparable state of shock.
