Chapter 75 The Sanction from The Mighty Ancients
Next up was tallying the first-clear rewards.
[You have obtained 42 skill books.]
[You have obtained 65 pieces of equipment.]
[You have obtained 2,200 gold coins.]
[You have obtained 1 Dragon Gall.]
[You have obtained...]
A series of system notifications rang out.
For Alan, it was another big haul.
Since the equipment level wasn't high enough, Alan didn't consider it.
Alan pondered over the skill books for a moment, feeling a bit of a headache.
After arriving in Central City, skills and equipment were categorized, and the requirements for equipping and learning them were much stricter than in the novice village.
However, as the first person to clear the dungeon, he still had some special perks.
For instance, the Bloodthirsty Dragon Armor, a skill originally exclusive to warriors, could now be learned by Alan due to his first-clear status.
"Learn Bloodthirsty Dragon Armor."
Without hesitation, Alan learned the Bloodthirsty Dragon Armor.
[Bloodthirsty Dragon Armor: 1 Star.]
[Effect: 5% of the damage you take will be converted into healing to restore your health.]
[Cost: None.]
[Cooldown: None.]
[Proficiency: 0/1,000.]
[Note: This proficiency is one-tenth of the amount of health you recover using this skill.]
Alan raised an eyebrow and thought, 'Not bad, this skill would level up very quickly.'
After all, Alan now took tens of thousands of damage when fighting bosses. Even 5% of that would be 500, and one-tenth of that is 50.
In other words, leveling up this skill would be a piece of cake for him.
But this was only true for Alan; for other players, it wouldn't be so easy.
Even for defensive players, most of them between levels 10 and 15 only had 5,000 to 10,000 health, with very few reaching 20,000.
Such players couldn't withstand such high damage while healing.
Even with 15,000 health, the proficiency gained wouldn't even be 100.
Putting his thoughts aside, Alan stored everything in the guild warehouse.
The five-star guild's built-in warehouse had more than enough space for Alan's items.
After exiting the dungeon, Alan checked the time; James should be arriving soon.
But just then, a figure suddenly appeared behind him.
It was a displacement skill!
Knock Up!
[-295.]
Not very high damage.
The person followed up with a three-hit combo, keeping Alan's body suspended in mid-air.
Alan raised an eyebrow, 'Who was this?'
Someone was actually ambushing him.
Before he could think further, another person appeared.
Just as Alan was about to hit the ground, this person grabbed his neck in an instant.
Chokehold!
Then came a punch, sending Alan flying again.
"Such high resilience."
The player who used the punch was surprised because the knockback effect was different from usual.
But he didn't hesitate and attacked again.
Chain Burst Punch!
[-315.]
[-312.]
[-314.]
Damage numbers floated above Alan's head.
Just as Alan was about to hit the ground, a pillar of fire shot up from beneath his feet, sending him flying again.
'Ground Flame Impact, a skill that Elemental Mages can only learn after reaching level 30!'
Alan was a bit surprised. Who was that mage in the distance, learning a level 30 skill before even completing the first class change?
Stone Shattering Palm!
The player in front of Alan struck again, knocking Alan back in mid-air.
A warrior with alongsword coordinated with him, keeping Alan airborne.
'The Mighty Ancients!'
Alan's eyes narrowed slightly.
This airborne knockback technique was remarkably similar to his own aerial archery technique.
It wasn't part of the game Ragnarok; it was a pure combat skill.
Melee aerial combos were somewhat easier than ranged ones, but still not something an average player could pull off.
Even top-tier players from major clubs would find it difficult to achieve at this stage.
Alan raised an eyebrow; he wasn't in a hurry to use Star-Moon Purification.
Since James hadn't arrived yet, he might as well use them to grind proficiency for his Bloodthirsty Dragon Armor.
Before Alan could hit the ground, a fourth person appeared.
The four of them worked together, keeping Alan airborne and landing a hundred-hit combo in no time.
The more hits in the aerial combo, the higher the damage.
Their initial attacks only dealt around 300 damage to Alan.
As the combo count increased, each attack started dealing over 500 damage.
To maintain the aerial combo, they didn't all attack at once, so Alan was only taking about a thousand damage per second.
But his equipment, the Tears of the Goddess of Life, restored 10,000 health per second, making the damage negligible compared to his healing.
The four attackers noticed this but remained unfazed.
A hundred-hit combo wasn't enough? Then they'd go for a thousand-hit combo!
As long as Alan didn't use a purification skill, they were confident they could combo him to death.
Alan was observing their attack patterns, trying to figure out which faction they belonged to.
Suddenly, Alan remembered something.
In his previous life, there was an infamous guild called Nightfall Union.
The members were known for their precise coordination, capable of executing infinite combos, often ambushing high-level players to loot their gear.
Under normal circumstances, even with purification skills, it was hard to break their attack patterns when alone.
"Damn, this guy is tough," one of the players complained, as the combo count had surpassed 500.
Their damage per second had also exceeded 5000.
But it was pointless!
"What are you doing?"
At that moment, James arrived. Seeing Alan under attack, he immediately charged atone of the players close to Alan.
Seeing James charging, the mage's expression changed. "Hold him off, I'll deal with this warrior."
As she spoke, she waved her staff, and a ring of fire rippled out from her body.
Fire Repulsion Ring!
This skill was a higher level than Savage Charge, directly interrupting James' attack.
With his charge interrupted, James saw three fireballs flying towards him.
He instinctively sidestepped, but his movement speed wasn't enough.
Moreover, the mage had predicted his position the moment she cast the Fire Repulsion Ring, making it easy to hit James with the Chain Fireball.
[-288.]
[-289.]
[-291.]
Three damage numbers appeared above James' head, but his health bar barely moved.
"How is this possible?!"
