Chapter 259 ZephyrStrider Surges
Eric entered Divine Realms: Legends, and the first thing he did was find Isabella to trade the Arcane Sentinel.
Previously, he had used up almost all of his Magic Spirit Crystals to create the Arcane Sentinel, and during this time, all the major guilds were tackling the three large 10-man dungeons.
Although the guild elites were now at levels 13 or 14, they still couldn't conquer the three large 10-man dungeons at the Common Level.
It seemed like just a level 10 dungeon, but the bosses inside were not just level 10; the highest level reached 13. The drops at the Common Level weren't anything special, mostly level 10 Mithril Weapons and Mithril Equipment, along with various materials needed for life professions.
But the Adversity-level was a whole different story.
The reason they were called the three large 10-man dungeons was mainly because, as the difficulty increased, so did the dungeon level. The bosses in the Adversity-level 10-man dungeons were all level 15, so getting the first clear of these dungeons wasn't easy.
Additionally, the drops in the Adversity-level 10-man dungeons were different, mostly Adamantite Equipment, and they were growth-type weapons and equipment that could level up from 10 to 15, though they were bound items.
The bosses in the Infernal-level 10-man dungeons were all level 18, and the drops were primarily Obsidian Level. The weapons and equipment could level up from 10 to 18 and were also bound items. It could be said that the Infernal-level 10-man dungeons were the toughest dungeons before level 20, bar none.
At level 20, Silvercrest Dominion would introduce new large dungeons, four in total, three of which were 50-man dungeons and one 100-man dungeon. The difficulty of the 100-man dungeon was significantly higher than the 50-man dungeons. The most important point was that getting the first clear of the 100-man dungeon would be announced across the entire Divine Realms: Legends, not just within a single kingdom. This meant that nearly two billion players in Divine Realms: Legends would see and hear about it. No advertisement could match this effect. Additionally, it would be recorded in the Divine Realms: Legends epic rankings for everyone to see.
However, getting the first clear of the 100-man dungeon was extremely difficult. Even though Eric had a strategy, it was still incredibly challenging.
In a reception room at StellarTrails Emporium, Isabella pushed open the door and walked in. Compared to before, Isabella's equipment had changed significantly. Most of her gear was now Mithril Level, and the large silver-white sword with magical runes on her back was Adamantite. Isabella had also reached level 16, clearly having been grinding day and night to reach this level.
"Let's trade quickly," Isabella said urgently without even sitting down.
"Ms. Collins seems very busy. Is something urgent happening?" Eric asked curiously.
This was a trade for an Adamantite shield, which was a big deal, but Isabella seemed to have something even more important to do.
"It's nothing much. I just found out that Darkstar Guild has already reached the second-to-last boss in the Eternal Slumber Dungeon, so I want to speed things up and head to the Eternal Slumber Dungeon soon," Isabella explained, though she was clearly in a hurry.
The top guild in Silvervale City was actually slower in tackling the three large 10-man dungeons compared to a third-rate guild like the Darkstar Guild. This was definitely concerning.
"Their speed is really fast, but Darkstar Guild shouldn't have such powerful players. " Eric felt something was off about Darkstar Guild.
Darkstar Guild had first taken over more than ten insignificant guilds in one go, and now a bunch of experts had emerged, making them much faster in tackling the three large 10-man dungeons than Isabella. It was worth noting that Isabella was from the top guild in Silvervale City. To better develop, Isabella had transferred many elite experts from the Godslayer Corps in Eldoria Capital. Each of these individuals was just a step away from being top-tier experts. The Godslayer Corps squads were all top-tier experts, and with Isabella and Scarlet leading, they still couldn't match Darkstar Guild.
The three large 10-man dungeons each had five bosses. A powerful team like Devouring Serpents had only reached the second boss, while Darkstar Guild had already reached the fourth boss.
It seemed impossible, no matter how you looked at it.
The difference between second-tier and first-tier guilds lay in the depth of their experts. First-tier guilds had spent over a decade poaching talent to cultivate these experts. Even a top second-tier guild like Assassin's Alliance was still in the accumulation phase when it came to training experts, and they were not on the same level as first-tier guilds.
But what was Darkstar Guild?
Moreover, Eric had brought a formidable enemy, a top first-tier guild like Echoes of Dusk, to Darkstar Guild, yet Darkstar Guild seemed unaffected, with no news coming out. On the other hand, Echoes of Dusk did something that surprised Eric—they straightforwardly paid 50 million credits.
Thinking about this, Eric felt that the forces behind Darkstar Guild were extraordinarily powerful. Echoes of Dusk must have discovered something, which is why they so readily paid the 50 million credits.
"Here are 200 Magic Spirit Crystals."
"Here are four Arcane Sentinels. Please check them."
Isabella wasn't in the mood to discuss Darkstar Guild any further. She directly opened the trade window, and Eric, understanding the urgency, didn't press the matter. Isabella's haste showed that Darkstar Guild was putting significant pressure on her. It was likely not just about the dungeons; there must be some hidden issues, but that was beyond Eric's concern.
Of course, if Isabella asked for help, Eric would assist as a friend. However, since Isabella didn't ask, Eric remained silent. Moreover, the four Arcane Sentinels would significantly boost the team's MT, making it not too difficult for her to surpass Darkstar Guild.
Isabella checked the attributes of the Arcane Sentinels, and her eyes lit up with a hint of joy.
"Great, the attributes of these Arcane Sentinels are excellent. I need two more. When can you have them ready?" Isabella asked, now more interested, as these four shields would ensure they could get past the second boss.
"Making these shields isn't easy; the success rate is too low. But I should be able to make two more in half a day," Eric thought for a moment and gave a fairly accurate answer.
"I'll come back in half a day then. Don't sell them to anyone else," Isabella nodded and quickly left the reception room.
Shortly after Isabella left, FlameDancer and others arrived at StellarTrails Emporium.
"President, we've prepared for the dungeon and can head to Demonic Citadel anytime," FlameDancer said, looking at Eric. She couldn't wait to show Eric how powerful her team was.
"It's a bit early now. Demonic Citadel is a 20-man dungeon. You know that Aether Wing Studios has just brought in a batch of newcomers. Their levels are generally low, with some just having created accounts. I want you to help them level up quickly to 15 and form a main team before heading to Demonic Citadel," Eric smiled and handed FlameDancer a list.
Originally, Eric wanted Rosewater to send some people, but many of Rosewater's members were busy managing new recruits. Additionally, Rosewater was also tackling 10-man and 20-man dungeons to upgrade their gear in preparation for the three large 10-man dungeons. She didn't have the time or manpower to waste on Demonic Citadel.
So, Eric decided to form a main team for the guild. The nine top-tier experts they had just recruited couldn't be wasted, so he asked FlameDancer and her team to help.
"I understand," FlameDancer felt a bit disappointed, but she was also happy that Eric was giving her more people to lead and making her the leader of the main team. She felt recognized by Eric.
"Oh, I almost forgot. I have something for you."
Just as FlameDancer was about to turn and leave, Eric slapped his forehead and suddenly called out to her.
