Chapter 89 Shocked the Ice Goddess
"Help me destroy the Hall of Glory you saw on your way here, and assist me in breaking the seal," the Ice Goddess said. "You can rest assured, there are no strong opponents in the Hall of Glory; you can handle it."
Alan nodded. "I see, then bless me with the blessing of the gods first."
"Alright."
The Snow Goddess raised her fair, jade-like hand and smiled.
Immediately, a beam of light descended from the sky, enveloping Alan.
[The Ice Goddess is blessing you, do you accept?]
"Accept."
[You have received the Snow Goddess's blessing: Frozen Eye.]
[Frozen Eye (Passive): 1 star.]
[Effect: Your attacks have a 5% chance to freeze the opponent, and after freezing the opponent, your next attack will break the ice, dealing 1.5 times damage.]
[Cost: None.]
[Cooldown: None.]
[Proficiency: 0/100. (Each trigger of this passive increases proficiency by one point.)]
Alan raised an eyebrow. This Frozen Eye seemed pretty good.
Normal attacks now had a a freezing effect, and breaking the ice increased damage.
Looking at it this way, this skill was indeed quite powerful.
Control and a damage boost. Just ask yourself, who else can do that?
The most crucial part was the trigger probability was quite high.
It was just one star; what if it were ten stars?
A 50% chance to freeze, coupled with higher damage boosts, would make it unbeatable.
"Adventurer, isn't it time for you to fulfill your promise now?" the Ice Goddess asked.
"What promise?"
"Destroy the Hall of Glory and release me."
Alan shook his head and said, "I never promised to help you destroy the Hall of Glory."
"Besides, you haven't given me Stellaria as you said you would."
With that the Ice Goddess's expression became somewhat grim.
"So, you were just toying with me?!"
The Snow Goddess became a bit angry.
She didn't care much about a blessing from the gods.
What she cared about was that Alan, a mere mortal, dared to toy with her!
This was simply intolerable!
"I wasn't toying with you. Just releasing you for a blessing wan't worth it for me, and I never agreed to it."
Hearing Alan's words, the Ice Goddess calmed down and said, "Adventurer, if you release me, you will become the king of Stellaria."
[The Ice Goddess has given you a quest, do you accept?]
[Quest requirement: Destroy the Hall of Glory and break her seal.]
[Quest penalty: Unknown.]
[Quest reward: Stellaria.]
Alan raised an eyebrow. Since it appeared in the form of a quest, it meant the quest was real and valid.
If he destroyed the Hall of Glory and broke the seal, he could indeed get Stellaria.
But after a brief contemplation, Alan decided not to not accept the quest.
Stellaria was very good for him at this stage, very, very good.
But his goal wasn't Stellaria.
Stellaria was good, but it was ultimately just a kingdom for a second job change.
Due to game rules, the strongest NPC in Stellaria couldn't reach the level of a third job change.
In other words, Stellaria was strong in the early stages, average in the mid-stages, and insignificant in the late stages.
However, if he didn't consider other factors and took Stellaria first, it wouldn't be a problem.
But Alan had come to know that below lay a mysterious ancient kingdom.
If he released the Snow Goddess, his quest might end here.
He wanted to see what this ancient kingdom, related to his own country, was like.
He even had thoughts of reviving this ancient kingdom.
Therefore, he chose to forgo the immediate benefit.
Sometimes, the rewards from taking risks are beyond measure.
Alan's lips curved into a faint smile and raised his hand.
Alan's arrows continuously shot out, and in the blink of an eye, they were already in front of the Ice Goddess.
The Ice Goddess roared angrily, "Despicable human, how dare you toy with me!"
Alan's arrows flew to the front of the Snow Goddess, all frozen and then shattered.
Alan didn't mind; the Ice Goddess was no longer in her peak state. To be precise, she was already dead, just a remnant spirit here.
And since this dungeon was in Stellaria, a dead deity would still be suppressed by the rules here.
So, Alan didn't believe the Ice Goddess could freeze his arrows indefinitely.
Indeed, it turned out to be the case.
Alan's attack speed was maxed out, twelve arrows per second.
But the Ice Goddess's spirit could only freeze ten arrows per second; she couldn't freeze the other two.
[-105,025!!]
[-105,025!!]
Over 100,000 damage from a single normal attack shocked the enraged Ice Goddess.
"Impossible!!"
She couldn't believe how Alan could deal such terrifying damage.
Even if her current strength was less than one ten-thousandth of her peak.
But Alan was only level one; even a level fifty second-job archer couldn't deal over 100,000 damage with one arrow.
However, she didn't have much time to think, as Alan's attacks kept coming.
"Despicable human, I'll kill you!"
The Ice Goddess roared, countless ice spikes appeared behind her, and shot out like a storm.
This wide-range attack couldn't be dodged with simple movement.
But Alan didn't intend to dodge at all.
[Immune.]
[Immune.]
Due to the Godslayer's Mark, Alan was immunity to ice damage.
Therefore, these ice spikes posed no threat to him.
"How is this possible, who are you?!"
The Ice Goddess roared repeatedly.
Her skills were being nullified by Alan.
"Damn it, it must be the Godslayer's Mark. That lunatic actually gave you the Godslayer's Mark."
Alan didn't respond, his face still wore a faint smile, continuing his attacks.
"Die!!"
"You can be immune to ice attacks. I don't believe you can be immune to my normal attacks too!"
The Ice Goddess roared. Her body turned into a shadow, and in the blink of an eye, she was in front of Alan.
She struck Alan with her palm.
[-135,985.]
A huge damage number appeared, Alan lost a small portion of his health bar.
Seeing this, the Ice Goddess was about to collapse.
"No way!!"
She couldn't believe her eyes.
Alan's high damage was already hard to accept.
But why did he have so much health along with such high damage?!
