Chapter 1079 Quest Complete
?-----
After all the damage it sustained and once I shattered its core, the giant tree monster breathed its last. When it died, it even collapsed on the ground as if it couldn't even hold itself standing without the Mana flowing across its body, generating a loud thud that broke through the dungeon walls behind and almost made the destabilized ceiling above fall over us.
BAAAM!
Ding!
[You and your party have defeated [Mutated Yggdrasil Clone (Tier 9)] x1!]
[You earned 30.000.000 EXP]
Oh, that was much more EXP than I imagined at first. 30 Million for a Tier 9 Monster… Wait, maybe it is below average? I haven't really beaten any monster in that Rank on my own to truly know how much EXP they can give fully.
After all, the EXP I earn when I slay a strong foe with everyone is only a part of it, because I can only get the full part if I defeat it alone, without any outside help. Familiars and Spirits don't count in this calculation though, for some reason.
But that wasn't everything either, aside from the big amounts of EXP and the rescued Slimes, the quest that popped up out of nowhere back then was completed.
Ding!
[You have Completed the [Special Quest]: [Defeat The Mutated Yggdrasil Clone Tree and Save the Slimes!]
[Not only you've defeated the evil and mysterious mutated tree, you and your family have successfully rescued the slimes before they were to die once their life support were to be disconnected from the tree, who were keeping their weakened states alive.]
[Now, what's left is to heal the slimes and wake them up! Oh, and while you're at it, try to figure out what was this tree all along. Perhaps another experiment of the Gods gone wrong.]
[Due to having completed the Quest before the time limit, you've received bonus rewards.]
[Completion Rewards: [30.000.000 EXP] [Mutated Yggdrasil Sap (S- Grade)] x3 [Cloned Yggdrasil's Spirit Scepter (S- Grade)] x1 [Alchemical Forgemaster Medallion Fragment 1/3 (A+ Grade)] x1]
The rewards were better than I thought, and I seem to have acquired yet another Rank Up item, or a piece of it! Most likely for my Subclass! I knew it would appear eventually. I just need to get three more and I'll be able to Rank it up.
However, aside from the nice 30 million EXP, I also got some sort of Sap potion? and also a Scepter made out of this monster's wood and soul essence, apparently. Which the system absorbs once monsters die.
Much like how I absorb EXP from Soul Fragments, the same happens with generated items in the Quest, when they're related to a boss monster. The leftover essence, mana, and soul all materializes into special items.
Of course, "Causality Points" are needed for this to work properly, and those can only be achieved by doing great feats or changing the fate of someone. So I can't easily get whatever I would wish for handled to me so easily.
Alchemical Forgemaster as a Subclass sounds pretty interesting, does it mix alchemy, with forging skills? I guess I'm constantly getting better at this, although mostly thanks to the System, my knowledge on Forging and Alchemy Magic is still in the basics.
The reason I can do so much is thanks to the Skills I gained, so I feel like I'm cheating a lot here… I do remember in the hero list someone called Ruby, who was the "Hero of Forging Hammer" I bet they're going to be the real deal.
And that's without even mentioning the Witch of the Blue Mountain, whose creations surpass mine even after all the bonuses I can add to them. Especially because she can make people stronger by wearing her equipment, let them acquire abilities and spells, and all without a system helping her do it.
Another thing, because her equipment is so perfectly made, I seem to be incapable of improving it, as I had previously tried braking down my earrings and then remade them, but once I realized its structure was so well shaped to the molecular level, I gave up.
The sword, Scarlet, has gotten this strong thanks to acquiring a System, she gained skills to absorb materials by herself, I haven't really upgraded her or anything, she was also a creation of the Witch.
Well, I better focus on what's going on right now. I quickly ran towards the direction where everyone gathered, Pyuku leaping out of my body and rushing to see his siblings within Shade's shadows.
"The slimes! Are they okay?!" He asked desperately.
"They're sleeping for now." Shade said. "Faylen, can you heal them?"
"There's nothing I cannot heal." My mother smiled proudly. "I've already healed their lack of nutrients and stamina. I'm now supplying them with Mana so they can restore their former mass. It'll take some time though, so let's take a break. Should we camp inside this cave? Now that the ceiling broke off, there's some light coming from above, so it doesn't look too bad."
"Sure, let's camp for now." My father agreed. "Guys, you fine with that?"
"Yeah, no problem." Nepheline nodded, while analyzing the giant tree. "This big tree though, what the hell was this thing?"
"I can sense a strong aura from it even after it died." Ninhursag said. "An Aura very similar to that big tree Sylphy turned into her Familiar."
"I've already analyzed it." My mother commented. "Apparently, this is an Yggdrasil Tree… Or well, more like a clone of it. A mutant monster born from a failed clone of the Yggdrasil Tree. I could assume the Gods were trying to create their own Yggdrasil by trying to clone the one from this world. I'm glad to know they failed miserably."
"It only ended turning into a vicious monster…" Sighed Pyuku. "W-Well, all's well and done, right? I'm glad they're safe! Thank you so much for helping me out with that!"
"Don't worry." My mother smiled gently. "Now, let's set up a camp for now. Let's rest and after a few hours, we should have dinner and sleep. We can resume our travels tomorrow. Even now there's a lot I want to investigate about these ruins."
