[System Notification: Congratulations on successfully killing the boss. Reward for individual EXP is 600,000 x2 and 200,000 team EXP gained.]
[Talent Trigger: Obtained 1,000 HP, 10 HP recovery/second.]
[Server Announcement: Leader Carefree Dream, party member Sun Conqueror, party member Clutch King... Are the first to clear of level 20 nightmare more dungeon. The leader has received a mysterious gift pack, and party members have received a nightmare level treasure chest.]
All the players outside the dungeon were shocked when they heard the server announcement.
“Is Carefree Dream even human? How did they clear the nightmare mode dungeon?”
“No one in the entire server dared to challenge that difficulty level, right? I can’t believe they cleared it.”
“Carefree Dream is number one in the world!”
“I shall worship the gound he walks on when he exits the dungeon.”
“I can’t wait for the video to come out on how he cleared the dungeon.”
“Is it really that easy?”
“Everyone is losing their minds over this clear.”
“I don’t think it’s just everyone in the game, I suspect that the forums have already exploded.”
Li Yi and the others still did not know what was happening outside, but Clutch King and Sun Conqueror were still at a loss.
This monster just appeared and died, just like that.
This was all too sudden.
It was normal for Clutch King and the others to not know how to react. After all, the difficulty of this nightmare mode was not something any level 25 player could easily challenge.
The difficulty was too high, so the officials definitely had a backup plan. It was not until a long time later that the players finally understood the officials hidden agenda.
This level was designed so that players would not be able to clear it in a conventional way. Fortunately, this did not hinder the development of the players; it was just set as a challenge.
If it was not for that one player that discovered this mechanism and killing the boss before it broke the seal, no one would have thought that this method could be used to clear the dungeon at all.
Li Yi knew this mechanism, which was why he dared to challenge this dungeon. Otherwise, even he might not be able to defeat the final boss.
Li Yi looked at the corpse of the giant dragon in front of him and let out a long breath.
When he knew that it was over, the tension that was built up in his body finally relaxed.
Li Yi pulled the long spear out of the dragon’s head as everyone looked on with shock.
[Weapon: Lighting Spear]
[Quality: Perfect]
[Physical Attack: 70
[Attribute Enhancement: Agility +25
[Perfect Skill: Purple Lightning is a passive skill. An 80% chance to paralyze the enemy.]
[Equipment Requirement: Level 25]
He hesitated for a moment before deciding to give up on this weapon. He already had Deaths Descent in his hand, so he did not need any other weapon.
Li Yi then gave the long spear to Clutch King.
“This is for you.”
Clutch King took the long spear in his hand with a face full of joy.
“Thanks bro.”
Clutch King’s expression immediately turned solem right after he received it.
“Bro, but Snow Chaser-”
“You don’t have to worry.”
When everything ended, the dragon’s body began to turn into nothingness. Then, there were many more pieces of equipment on the ground.
The dragon dropped a lot of loot!
Li Yi looked at the equipment on the ground.
[Item: Demonic Dragon’s Dragon Scale x20]
[Effect: Can be used to forge equipment or weapons.]
Li Yi took five and handed the rest to Sun Conqueror.
“Take it, you’ll need it.”
Sun Conqueror took the Dragon Scale and looked very happy.
“It’s always worth it in the end to follow your steps. Thank you.”
[Item: Demonic Thunder Core]
[Effect: Unknown ]
“Huh?”
Li Yi had never encountered this before. He picked up the core and pondered for a long time, but he could not think any use for it. Still, he stashed it away.
[Item: Thunderous Summon (skill book)]
[Usage Requirement: Level 20]
[Effect: An instant cast, Summons lightning to deal magic damage to a single enemy and has a chance to paralyze the enemy. Costs 30 MP per use. Highest level is level 10!]
This skill was the same as the Goblin Wizard’s skill. With this skill, Snow Chaser’s attack style would improve. However, this was not the main gift Li Yi wanted to give Snow Chaser.
[Special Item: Elemental Research (Skill Book)]
[Usage Requirement: Level 30]
[Effect: Can change or amplify magic damage caused by elements.]
[Note: Different effects will be added according to different elements. ]
This was the ultimate gift that Li Yi had prepared for Snow Chaser.
Although Snow Chaser had a few casting attacks, there were too many limitations. Only with this skill could she become a true Great Mage.
Great Mages had the ability to transform elements into attacks. For example, they could summon Fireballs, create Lightning, and so on. However, these are all basic skills, and the elements are restraining.
Even if Mages single-sided elements reaches the peak, they will be defeated by the elements that restrains them.
Even if Mage learns all the elements, as long as the opponent brings out the corresponding elements, they will still be finished.
In order to truly become stronger, they can only combine the elements and combine them with stronger elements. For example, by using wind and fire, one could create a fire tornado or increase the intensity of the fire.
Or, one could use wind and water to lower the temperature to the point of creating ice.
If one could comprehend two rare elements, light and darkness, it would be possible to create a heaven-defying combat skill like a black hole.
As long as one could research on it, it would be possible to create a sandstorm or even steel from different elements.
However, the prerequisite was that one had to have the Elemental Research skill. Otherwise, it would be impossible to research on different elements unknowingly.
At the later stage of this skill, it could determine the upper limit of one’s magic.
Among the Battle of Gods, the most powerful mage had this skill.
It was also this skill that made him an existence that all mages admired. Of course, this was only to increase the upper limit of one’s skill. As for how far one could go, it would depend on the results of one’s own research.
If a player wanted to create a skill that could destroy the world, they must have a very precise grasp of the elements. If there was even the slightest deviation, it would go astray.
Therefore, having control and understanding of each element was the key to success in the end.
This skill was just an opportunity to become stronger, not a free pass.
Moreover, this book was a must-have in this dungeon.
In the later stages, when everyone clears this dungeon, this skill would become a common commodity to have.
Although many hadthis item, they did not utilize it well enough to be strong. However, Li Yi completely trusted Snow Chaser’s capabilites. She was the strongest Healer in his past life, so this should not be difficult for her.
After putting it away, Li Yi began to look around the other loot dropped. He had yet to find the thing he wanted. Although the probability of that thing appearing was very miniscule. However, that very thing was Li Yi’s main purpose for coming here.
Li Yi painstakingly searched while he picked up each item.
Dragon Claws, Dragon Tail, Dragon Wings and so on, all of them were stashed away as he batted his eyes.
Finally, Li Yi found it!
