Chapter 398 Underground Arena
After waiting for a while at The Velvet Fork, Isabella and her group saw a young girl appear before them. She wore a teal robe, had her hair in twin ponytails, and radiated a holy light.
"Hey, let me introduce you. This is Violet Mistflow, the healer from the Guild of Aether Wing," Eric said as he walked over to the girl and introduced her to Isabella and the others.
"Hi," Violet Mistflow said softly, lowering her head nervously under their gaze.
Isabella and her group were stunned.
The expert that Kai Blackthorn had guaranteed turned out to be a young girl, a Priest no less, and only level 22, just like Eric. For top-tier players, this level was considered low.
Their own levels were all at 24.
While a two-level difference might not seem significant, in high-level duels, it could be the deciding factor in defeat. Such occurrences were common in Divine Realms: Legends.
Moreover, it was well-known in Divine Realms: Legends that Priests, despite having some combat abilities, were far inferior to other combat classes. Violet Mistflow might be skilled enough to handle ordinary players, but against other top-tier players, her chances were slim due to her class's inherent disadvantages.
Scarlet glared at Eric, feeling so angry she could bite him.
She had started to change her opinion of Eric, but now she realized she was completely wrong. Eric had no boundaries; even at this critical moment, he was still playing games with them.
Did he really think their opponents were amateurs?
Scarlet wanted to say something, but Isabella stopped her.
"Alright, since everyone's here, let's get going," Isabella said, hailing a carriage on the street.
Isabella had initially considered replacing Violet Mistflow, but Eric had vouched for her and brought her here. Sending her away now would be awkward for Eric.
Finding someone else to replace Violet Mistflow wouldn't make much difference. It was better to give Eric some face.
"Violet Mistflow, we'll be counting on you," Eric said, watching Isabella's back and shaking his head with a smile.
"Don't worry, I won't let you down," Violet Mistflow replied, nodding firmly.
The two then boarded the carriage.
Eric was well aware of Violet Mistflow's combat skills. She was top-tier within the Guild of Aether Wing, but her performance had been limited by her initial class. Now that she had successfully transitioned to a Star Sorcerer, things were different.
Moreover, Isabella and her group hadn't noticed one crucial detail.
Both he and Violet Mistflow were no longer at zero tier but at tier one.
Player tiers couldn't be detected by ordinary observation skills; advanced observation skills were required. Hence, advanced observation skills were a must-learn in Divine Realms: Legends. Provoking a high-tier player without realizing it could lead to regret, as tier differences were far more significant than level differences.
Currently, early-stage players in Divine Realms: Legends were focused on leveling up and clearing dungeons. Members of major guilds were especially busy, with no time for class transition quests. Completing even a basic class transition quest took at least two to three days, and failing it would waste a lot of time. So, everyone preferred to level up first, making class transition quests easier later.
Even top-tier players like Isabella thought this way, let alone others.
Another reason for the delay in class transition quests was the lack of understanding of tier one classes. Players didn't know how much these classes would enhance their abilities, so major guilds weren't in a hurry. They prioritized clearing dungeons first, leaving class transitions for later.
Over two hours later, Isabella led the group to an underground arena in Eldoria City.
The underground arena was a haven for players who loved PvP. Later on, it would become a lucrative place, attracting countless players who enjoyed watching fights. Many would place bets on their favored fighters, and the winners would receive a cut of the earnings.
The arena was divided into different sections: the regular zone, the advanced zone, and the elite zone. These sections differed in the rewards offered and the entry requirements.
Any player could enter the regular zone to watch or participate in fights.
The advanced zone was different. Players had to pay a fee to watch, and to compete, they needed to have fought at least 20 matches in the regular zone with a win rate of 80% or higher. Winners received 1% of the total bet amount and 10% of the ticket sales.
The elite zone had even higher requirements. Players had to pay a much higher fee to watch, and to compete, they needed to have fought at least 20 matches in the regular zone with a win rate of 90% or higher, or pass a system test to be recognized as top-tier. Winners received 3% of the total bet amount and 30% of the ticket sales.
The room sizes also varied: the regular zone could hold up to 300 people, the advanced zone up to 1,500, and the elite zone up to 10,000.
Players with strong skills could earn substantial money here. Eric had made quite a bit from the underground arena in the past.
As they entered the underground arena, it wasn't very crowded yet, with many rooms still empty. However, signs of prosperity were evident, and it wouldn't be long before it became bustling.
"Room 29 in the regular zone, this should be it," Isabella said, checking the room number by the door before opening it.
Inside, over thirty people were already waiting. Their levels were high, ranging from 23 to 25, and they all looked impressive.
"SpiritSnake, you traitor! How dare you show your face here!" Scarlet shouted angrily at a burly young man in the crowd.
The burly young man was SpiritSnake, whom Isabella had painstakingly trained. He was a level 24 Assassin, equipped with a full Mithril Level set for Assassins, with other pieces being Adamantite. His weapons were even more impressive: one Obsidian Level and one Adamantite. His gear was far beyond what ordinary players could dream of.
SpiritSnake remained calm, glancing at Eric and Violet Mistflow before sneering. "Scarlet, I admit Isabella treated me well, but it's natural to seek higher ground. Mr. Walton's team is stronger. What's wrong with joining them? You think you can compete for the guild leader position with your skills? Don't make me laugh."
"Scarlet, Mr. Walton has always valued you. Join us, and we'll be on the same side."
"Of course, if you refuse, and you lose, Mr. Walton will follow the rules. Isabella will never set foot in the virtual gaming world again!"
