Chapter 205 Queen's Wrath
Just as Eric was contemplating how to conquer the seemingly delicate Blaze Serpentess, the entire Silvercrest Dominion was already in chaos.
It wasn't because of anything else but the Silvercrest Dominion's Honor Board.
The top level was actually level 13.
[What the hell is going on? I barely made it to level 10 and entered Silvervale City, and now there's a level 13 player? What did this guy use to level up?]
[Exactly, that RogueVortex was just around the tenth place before, and suddenly he's number one. Even the Ice Goddess got beaten; it's just too cool.]
[That RogueVortex is shown as being from the Darkstar Guild. Isn't that a third-rate guild? How are they so strong that they can surpass the Ice Goddess in levels?]
The official forum was already buzzing, and the previously popular Eric had undoubtedly become history.
In the level 10 ten-man dungeon, Raven's Roost Cavern.
A six-meter-tall black-feathered raven lay motionless on the ground, dropping a pile of items, including level 10 Dark Iron Outfit, a couple of Mithril items, and a lot of rare materials.
Standing next to the black-feathered raven was a woman with skin as fair as snow, a face as beautiful as a fairy, and a perfect figure that made people understand what perfection was. However, she had a pair of sharp eyes filled with endless coldness, which made her intimidating.
This otherworldly woman was Isabella.
System: [The Devouring Serpents guild has cleared the Adversity-level Raven's Roost Cavern, rewarding the guild with 300 reputation points.]
"Isabella, someone has reached level 13, way faster than us. Why don't we stop doing dungeons and go level up?" Scarlet, who also had a perfect figure, pouted in dissatisfaction as she looked at the level board.
Since they went to the level 12 monster area at level 9 to kill monsters, they discovered that their combat skills were improving continuously. Although it was very difficult at first, and they almost died, after experiencing many life-and-death moments and long periods of research and reflection, they found that their combat skills had improved significantly. It no longer seemed like an unattainable dream to fight monsters three levels higher. If Eric could do it back then, they could do it now, and just as effortlessly as Eric.
After arriving in Silvervale City, they immediately started doing daily reputation quests and then found a very good spot for leveling up by fighting higher-level monsters. They farmed monsters for a while, but because their equipment was outdated, they entered the dungeon to upgrade their gear in preparation for the first clear of the level 10 large team dungeon. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been surpassed by a player from a third-rate guild.
"Never mind him. Right now, the first clear of the large dungeon is more important than levels. Besides, once you exceed level 15, clearing the level 10 Infernal-tier Dungeon won't count. Don't worry about it. Our equipment is almost ready, so let's start with the first clear of the level 10 small dungeon," Isabella looked at the top-ranked RogueVortex on the level board, showing a calm smile on her flawless face.
Isabella's decision made the team members all show excited smiles.
They could finally show their skills.
They were top players in previous virtual games, and during this period, they had been constantly practicing and fighting high-level monsters. During their breaks, they studied videos of top players, especially Eric's combat videos. Although short, the videos were full of essence. The more they studied, the more amazed they were, and their combat skills improved rapidly without them even realizing it.
Or rather, they had almost adapted to the highly realistic combat style of "Divine Realms: Legends" and mastered the power of their bodies.
The Adversity-level team dungeon could no longer satisfy their desire for strength improvement, especially after adapting to the extraordinary state. Only the Infernal-level could truly excite them.
Just like the Infernal-level Shadowmoon Graveyard back then, it made every cell in their bodies tremble. They thought they were scared, but actually, it was inner excitement.
Meanwhile, other major guilds were also amazed by the sudden appearance of RogueVortex, though some were dismissive.
However, ordinary players were astonished, and the Darkstar Guild, a third-rate top guild, had suddenly established a foothold in Silvervale City. Even the second-rate guild Assassin's Alliance was outdone, as none of their members were in the top ten of the level board. In the top thirty, there were three: the guild leader ranked 18th, Thornheart ranked 26th, and their top Elementalist ranked 29th.
But for the majority of players, such rankings were meaningless compared to the fame boost from being number one.
Inferno Shrine.
Eric had already lured the level 25 high-level Overlord Blaze Serpentess to a corner without any lava.
The reason Blaze Serpentess was so formidable was that half of her power came from the lava. By keeping her away from the lava, the difficulty of the strategy was instantly reduced by half. However, even so, she was still a high-level Overlord Boss, not ordinary players could provoke.
"Kneel, this is your punishment by fire," Blaze Serpentess's delicate pale hand flicked, and a whip made of flames suddenly appeared. She then swung it fiercely at Eric's head, the flame whip turning into a streak of light aimed at Eric's head.
It was Queen's Lash!
This was Blaze Serpentess's common melee skill. One whip could kill a same-level MT without the Solar Radiance Buff. Moreover, this skill was a large-area AoE attack with a maximum range of 75 feet, making it impossible to defeat her with sheer numbers. One whip would deal massive damage, and even an MT couldn't withstand it, let alone players with low health!
Facing the incoming flame whip, Eric easily dodged it with a roll, but he was still engulfed by the surrounding flames, taking over seventy points of damage.
However, Eric used this opportunity to create some distance, then turned mid-air and threw the Blaze Comet.
A red streak of light shot out, hitting Blaze Serpentess's raised left arm precisely, triggering the rare Pyroclasmic Amplification effect. It dealt 754 points of damage and inflicted a debuff causing 400 damage per second for 10 seconds, also interrupting Blaze Serpentess's next attack.
"Damn human, I will make you my pet," Blaze Serpentess's exotic beauty showed a hint of anger. She then flicked her tail, increasing her speed and approaching to Eric instantly.
"Almost there," Eric looked around and stopped, turning to face Blaze Serpentess and throwing a Frostbite Grenade.
There was no more scorching lava here, only solid rock as hard as iron. They greatly limiting Blaze Serpentess's strongest skill, Queen's Wrath.
This skill would command the surrounding lava to form waves that engulf everything. Even with 123 fire resistance, Eric couldn't withstand its ferocity. It was Blaze Serpentess's ultimate team-wiping move.
Additionally, Eric had to be cautious of Blaze Serpentess's bow and arrow attacks, as they dealt half-physical, half-fire damage. The Solar Radiance Buff didn't reduce physical damage, and two arrows could kill him, so he had to be careful.
