Chapter 49 Releasing Lysandra, Shaking the World
Leona smiled noncommittally. "I know, but so what!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Leona acted without hesitation. In the blink of an eye, she froze everything within a hundred-mile radius!
Matthew's eyes widened as he was frozen in place, unable to move.
"Ice King, break the seal," Leona said.
Alan nodded, stored all his equipment in the guild warehouse, and then placed the Icefire Ore and the mysterious key separately.
In the next moment, the ground trembled. Cracks began to appear in the magic circle, and scorching heat started to seep out from below.
"I can't die here; I'm leaving first."
Leona took a step and disappeared.
Alan's scalp tingled. 'If you're escaping through a spatial rift, take me with you. What do you mean now? Leave me here alone?'
At that moment, a server-wide announcement rang out.
[Alert, alert, someone has released the sealed Lysandra. The world boss, Lysandra, is about to emerge. All adventurers, please proceed with caution.]
[Alert, alert, someone has released the sealed Lysandra. The world boss, Lysandra, is about to emerge. All adventurers, please proceed with caution.]
The alert echoed throughout the server, leaving many players dumbfounded.
"What is this? Am I hearing it wrong?"
"No. A world boss! Is the system malfunctioning? At this stage, we struggle to take down even a Black Iron boss. How are we supposed to fight a world boss?"
"Although I don't know how we'll fight it, one thing is certain: the rewards for taking it down will be substantial."
The entire world of Ragnarok was in an uproar. Major clubs, corporations, and governments all convened emergency meetings.
A sudden world boss. No matter who it was, anyone who could take down this world boss would gain unimaginable benefits.
Government, Combat Division.
An elderly man with graying temples appeared in the conference room.
"You are the best analysts in our Jinse Empire. Our special operations team has encountered Black Iron, Bronze, and even Silver bosses. This time, we must take down the world boss," the elderly man said.
Hearing this, the lead analyst shook his head.
"Sir, based on our estimates, the world boss's health should not be less than a billion, and all its attributes will be extremely terrifying."
The lead analyst continued, "Even if our entire special operations team attacks together, it would be futile."
"Is there no way?" The elderly man frowned.
"There is one way, and that is to use an endless stream of players to wear down the boss. Currently, in the core Central Cities, players are counted in the tens of millions," the lead analyst replied. "If tens of millions of players attack together, there might be a one in ten thousand chance of killing the world boss."
"One in ten thousand?" The elderly man almost thought he had misheard. "Even with tens of millions of players attacking together, there's only a one in ten thousand chance."
"That's correct." The analyst nodded. "And that's considering the efforts of hidden classes and high-level talent holders. Otherwise, there wouldn't be even a sliver of a chance."
"Alright, I understand."
The elderly man's face didn't look good. The world boss was a glimmer of hope, but they were powerless.
If the Combat Division was powerless, the conclusions drawn by other clubs and guilds were similar. At this stage, players simply didn't have the strength to contend with a world boss.
Lysandra's emergence!
It wasn't just the players who were alarmed, but also certain entities within Ragnarok.
Stellaria.
The palace.
Queen Susan Garcia lifted her head and looked in the direction of the beginner's village upon hearing the server-wide announcement. "After all these years, it's finally out?"
Beside the queen stood a hunched old woman holding a skull staff. Her sharp, raspy voice echoed, "Your Majesty, this might be an opportunity for us."
Susan's eyes flashed with coldness.
"Stellaria has been peaceful for too long; indeed, it's time for some changes."
"Make the arrangements; the plan can be set in motion."
It wasn't just the palace; other individuals in Stellaria also began to take action. The appearance of a world boss could potentially change the current landscape entirely.
Alan was unaware of all this. He stood next to the magic circle, feeling the scorching heat burning his skin.
[You have received burn damage and will continue to lose health.]
[-4,000.]
[-4,000.]
Alan was stunned. 'The boss hasn't even fully broken the seal yet, and is it already so powerful?'
It was worth noting that Alan's Purification Necklace could negate 80% of negative effects. Burn damage was a negative effect, meaning without the necklace's immunity, he would be losing 20,000 health per second.
In his previous life, he hadn't faced Lysandra, so he didn't know much about her strength. But now, he had a clearer understanding.
With a loud bang, the earth shattered.
Alan was directly blown away.
[-99,999.]
Just a glancing blow, and his health bar plummeted.
But Alan didn't care. He was seeking death anyway. As long as he died, he could resurrect in Central City.
Then, he saw a figure engulfed in flames soar into the sky. Everywhere the figure's gaze fell, intense flames erupted.
However, when the gaze fell on Alan, the flames disappeared, and the figure slowly walked towards him.
Alan began to check the figure's stats.
[???: ???]
[Health: ???]
[Attack: ???]
[Skills: ???]
Alan, '???'
'How high is this level that even the name is a question mark?'
"Did you release me?"
A magnetic voice sounded, soft yet firm, making it impossible to discern the gender. Moreover, the person's face was so distorted that it was impossible to tell if he was male or female.
According to the previous quest hints, this should be Lysandra. But Alan remembered that in the Age of Mythology, it was Aeldias' daughter who became Lysandra. The quest hints in Ragnarok might not be entirely accurate, so Alan reserved his judgment.
"Yes," Alan replied.
Lysandra glanced at Alan and sneered, "Have you not considered that releasing me might destroy this world?"
Hearing this, Alan replied, "I don't think so. You were a good person before, and I still believe in you now."
"A good person?" Lysandra smiled noncommittally. "I was indeed a good person once. I helped many people. Even in this form, I still help people. But everyone spoke ill of me and wanted to destroy me. If it weren't for my immortal essence, I would have been completely obliterated, not just sealed."
With that, Lysandra instantly grabbed Alan by the throat. "I don't want to be a good person anymore. I want to be a devil, the greatest devil in this world!"
