Chapter 72 Blackwater Lake, Dragon Turtle
Purification skills were indeed a great addition.
Unfortunately, the Starlight Purification couldn't remove knockbacks and curses. For him, it was useful but not that significant.
"Alright." Alan said and put away the Starlight Purification.
In fact, even without the skill bookAlan wouldn't refuse to bring them into the guild.
It was not just because the Diaz Family is part of the Mighty Ancients family. The more important reason is that after the great catastrophe in the previous life, the Diaz Family made their secret archer manual public, allowing all archers to learn from it.
The high-level players of DreamChase Club had analyzed it correctly.
Under normal circumstances, even if you deliberately practice the floating arrow technique, it would take at least five years to even get started.
Alan was exceptionally talented and honed himself between life and death. But even so, these were not the fundamental reasons he could quickly master so many archery techniques.
The core reason was that the Diaz Family made their thousand-year-old archer manual public, allowing him to learn its techniques.
With such an ancient martial family, Alan had no reason to refuse.
The archer revealed his ID, and Alan added him as a friend, then invited him to join the Lone Ranger Guild.
Herman Diaz!
A somewhat pretentious yet slightly imposing name.
Alan was a bit surprised because Herman was a well-known figure in his previous life.
His talent wasn't particularly outrageous—no damage boost, no movement speed boost, no attack speed boost, no attribute boost at all.
Although his talent level was master-class, many people joked that it was not even as good as super-advanced or even advanced level.
But with that master-class talent, he perfected the art of kiting as an archer.
Even now, Alan still remembered his talent description.
[Absolute Slowness: 1 Star.]
[Effect 1: Your normal attacks reduce the opponent's movement speed by 5% for five seconds, non-stackable. This effect is absolute and is not affected by tenacity, Super Armor, purification, or any other control immunity attributes.]
[Effect 2: Your normal attacks can reduce the opponent's attack speed by 5%. If the opponent is a spellcaster, it will also increase their skill cooldown time and casting time by 5% for five seconds, non-stackable. This effect is absolute and is not affected by tenacity, Super Armor, purification, or any other control immunity attributes.]
[Proficiency: 0/1,000.]
This talent was master-class.
When it was first revealed, many people mocked it.
But sometimes, talent really depends on the person.
In the hands of an ordinary player, this talent was insignificant, very insignificant!
But Herman, with this seemingly inferior talent, performed like a god during the great catastrophe.
This was also related to his deep understanding of the game.
People only saw the 5% and ignored the fact that the talent could be upgraded.
What's more, the effect was absolute and cannot be interrupted.
Once this ability got bumped up to ten stars, the effects were downright scary.
There was a 50% drop in both movement and attack speed, and for magic users, longer casting and cooldown times.
Unfortunately, a genius like Herman ultimately fell in a battle to cover the retreat of the human main force. Facing the ten vanguard generals of the TechNova System alone, he couldn't possibly fight against ten experts.
In the end, he was killed after taking down three of them.
That was a huge loss for the Jinse Empire war zone.
Alan thought a lot at that moment.
Herman was definitely someone worthy of respect.
"I'll give you admin privileges so you can bring all your Diaz Family members into the guild," Alan said.
Herman nodded instinctively, shocked by the attributes boosted by Alan's guild.
These attributes were incredibly beneficial to the Diaz Family.
In the early stages, when free attribute points are scarce, archers generally have very low health.
Some extreme archers rely solely on health points from their equipment.
However, Alan's guild directly adds 10,000 health points.
In addition, there were boosts to attack speed, movement speed, critical hit, and damage.
Every attribute was so useful for archers.
"Ice King, I originally just wanted a bit of attribute boost, but I never dreamed your guild would provide so much." Herman looked at Alan gratefully.
Although he didn't play the game much, as a member of the Mighty Ancients, he knew very well how much these attribute boosts could help in combat.
"No problem." Alan waved his hand and then took out the Blackwater Lake dungeon key. "Use."
[You have used the Blackwater Lake dungeon key. The Blackwater Lake dungeon is now open.]
[You have successfully opened the Blackwater Lake dungeon. A server-wide announcement will be made. Would like yo conceal your name?]
"No."
[Server-wide announcement: Congratulations to player Ice King for successfully opening the "Blackwater Lake - Dragon Turtle" dungeon. Free attribute points +20; gold coins +50. Keep up the good work, players!]
[Server-wide announcement: Congratulations to player Ice King for successfully opening the "Blackwater Lake - Dragon Turtle" dungeon. Free attribute points +20; gold coins +50. Keep up the good work, players!]
"See you; I'm off to grind the dungeon."
Alan stepped forward and walked into the light gate of the Blackwater Lake dungeon.
Upon entering, he allocated all 70 free attribute points to his mana, which increased his original 100 mana points to 450.
It was still a drop in the bucket, but it was basically enough.
"Hell mode."
After entering the dungeon, Alan, as usual, directly chose the Hell mode difficulty.
[Your level is too low to enter this dungeon's Hell mode alone.]
Alan felt quite speechless.
In his previous life, he hadn't soloed a level 45 Hell mode dungeon at level 20.
So he didn't know about this restriction.
"Nightmare mode."
[Your level is too low to enter this dungeon's Nightmare mode alone.]
Alan was a bit frustrated.
Could it be that he couldn't solo these high-level dungeons?
If so, his plan to farm health points in Hell mode would fall through.
"Hard mode!"
Alan lowered the difficulty again, but the result was the same.
"Easy mode!"
However, there was still no change.
'Do I have to team up to enter this dungeon?' Alan thought and sent a private message to James.
Ice King: [James, have you finished your class change quest? Help me with a dungeon.]
Invincible Fatso: [Not yet; should I come over first?]
Ice King: [No need.]
Alan replied and then sent a message to Herman: [Still here? If so, help me with a dungeon.]
Herman: [Right at the dungeon entrance.]
Alan exited the dungeon, sent Herman a party invite, and re-entered.
Upon entering, Alan chose the Hell mode difficulty without hesitation.
Herman raised an eyebrow but didn't show much surprise.
Inside, they found themselves in a dimly lit cave. The cave was very damp, and they could occasionally hear the sound of water dripping...
