Chapter 392: Yellow-robed Priest
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
With her back facing the wall in the narrow passageway, Jiaojiao drained HP with Mortal Strike intermittently. It was a piece of cake dealing with the several hundred scarabs before her.
The scarabs were respawning and dying in an endless cycle as her EXP surged greatly...
“Hahahaha, Perverted Wing, how’s the place I found to level up?” Jiaojiao wielded her greatsword with a smirk on her face.
“Not bad. At this rate, you’ll catch up to me in half a year.”
“Haha, mm? What do you mean?” Jiaojiao’s laughter halted midway and came to a realization.
“I wanted to pull you over but you didn’t want to come because you found a lame place to level up? Really now?” Li Yi was a straight shooter as he enumerated her shortcomings.
Jiaojiao was not one to back down, “Is leveling up slow here? I think it’s faster than clearing dungeons.”
“Of course it’s slow. You’re just slashing left and right. How long can you go on like this?”
Jiaojiao gave it a thought, “I can do this 12 hours a day. It can get boring, that’s all.”
“Let’s go. You can stop leveling up. Let’s go find the bracelet and once the quest’s completed, I’ll bring you to a place to level up fast.”
Li Yi took out his Murloc Crossbow to aid Jiaojiao in clearing all the scarabs before getting her out of the passageway.
“I hit 4,000,000 EXP. I just need a little bit more to level up,” Jiaojiao was still pleased with the place.
Mm... Level up, huh...
Li Yi had a light-bulb moment due to Jiaojiao. He suddenly realized the strategy he planned for the dungeon did not seem right...
In King of Pantheon, there were countless monster-farming spots to level up quick. Li Yi dared not say he knew all the spots but he definitely knew at least half of them.
Why did he not use these monster-farming spots to raise the levels all of the party members before hitting the dungeon?
Have every member’s levels grow and crush the Light and Darkness Instances...
“Hahahahahaha...”
The moment Li Yi figured it out, he burst out in laughter and embraced Jiaojiao and planted a heavy kiss on her.
“Hey maniac, what are you trying to do?” Jiaojiao covered her face and glared at him.
“Nothing. I’m just so happy, I kissed you. If you think you lost out, then kiss me back. I don’t mind,”
Li Yi moved his face closer. Jiaojiao chuckled and gave him a kiss back.
She violated his face with a bestial kiss, leaving behind a row of teeth marks. It hurt so bad he drew back his lips.
“Let’s go, it’s still unknown whether or not we could reach the depths of Wailing Grotto.”
Li Yi summoned Violent Bear King to explore the way while he followed closely, clenching Murloc Crossbow in his hand.
The orange bow could not be used as of this moment. Hunter Goddess’s Divine Soul Power was too fragile whereas the Divine Jade’s energy was simply too strong. Hence, Hunter Goddess could only absorb a little at a time.
Fortunately, Hunter Goddess mentioned that the energy within the Divine Jade was the purest form of divine energy without any traces of a god’s will. Otherwise, she would probably be drained based on her current weakened state.
“I’ll need time, a few hours or perhaps two days or more...” Hunter Goddess sent her thoughts to inform Li Yi.
...
The heart of Wailing Grotto.
“Whatever awaits you isn’t eternal darkness but endless light from heaven. Awaken! Free all shackles and return to the world. Song of Redemption!”
A male White Elf Priest dressed in yellow robes waved the purple-colored staff in his hand while chanting. Two images of angels appeared in midair with blinding light as they flew into Amber Sword Heart and Alex’s corpses respectively.
Amber Sword Heart and Alex both were resurrected and the Soul Bind effect was gone.
[Song of Redemption (Learning condition: Song of Redemption Skill Tome and 130 Skill Points and above on Light Path): Group resurrection skill. Depending on INT and skill level, the user could revive between 5 to 200 players at a time. Players who resurrected through Song of Redemption would have all negative states swept away and replaced with a 30-minute buff to increase 10% of all attributes. (This skill can only be used during the non-battle mode.)]
“Thanks,” Amber Sword Heart faintly nodded at the yellow-robed Priest.
“Ah Ye, thank you,” Alex expressed his gratitude to the yellow-robed Priest.
After being hit by Soul Bind, they could not revive even with the aid of Divine Stone, let alone a regular Resurrection Spell. Only an Epic-level skill like Song of Redemption could neutralize the Soul Bind effect.
The yellow-robed Priest was called in by Alex. If it were not for him, both Alex and Amber Sword Heart would be lying on the ground for 24 hours.
Amber Sword Heart checked on the enemy tracking sheet but the result left his brows in a knot.
Dark Wing’s name was missing from the enemy tracking sheet.
“Has he left already?” Alex too noticed this issue.
“I don’t think so. My guess is he must have some tool to screen from enemy’s tracking,”
Amber Sword Heart shook his head and walked straight ahead.
“Sword Heart, should we inform the guild?”
“No. I’ll take care of my own business. Tell your friend that he can leave now,” Amber Sword Heart continued his journey in one of the passageways, leaving them both behind.
Alex turned his head to Ah Ye and the latter smiled, “I have heard of Eastern Continent’s Dark Wing. If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have come today. Let’s go, I wanna see what he has up his sleeve.”
“Thanks.”
Alex chanted incantations and pointed his quarterstaff onto the ground. A Giant Frost Tiger appeared beneath his feet.
...
The Wailing Grotto map was simply too huge. The distance between the entrance and hinterlands was short and everything that came next depended on luck. One could walk in and advance deeper in with luck but those who were unlucky would just end up circling the hinterlands.
After endless circling in an endless cycle, Li Yi and Jiaojiao bumped into Hua Feihua’s party five times as well as three times with Pretty Good Mood and Pale Blue Elegance in the span of two hours.
Stuck in the same situation as Li Yi, they were lost...
Li Yi had put Magical Road Sign to good use and in the end, the little map was filled with red dots and looked like the border of a nation.
“This can’t be right, Clan Master Jiao, we rounded the place and went to every passageway possible. Why isn’t any of them right?”
“What? I just feel like we’re going round and round...”
Li Yi and Jiaojiao stopped. They had gone through all the passageways but the passage toward the depths was still not found.
Hua Feihua, Hua Feiwu, and Scumbag Wang were still searching but they did not have a Magical Road Sign like Li Yi, they were running around like headless chickens. It was no point in hoping they would find the depths.
Jiaojiao dragged her greatsword over her back with a face of helplessness, “This quest is lame, Perverted Wing. Let’s just not do it. I want to return to that place to level up.”
“You can’t put a price on the rewards from a Hall of Fame quest. Moreover, a Hall of Fame dual quest. If we were to give up now, we might not come across it again.”
“The map’s huge and we went into every possible passageway. Where’s the way? Underground?” Jiaojiao stabbed the ground twice with her greatsword.
“Oh, that’s a possibility!”
A thought by Jiaojiao made Li Yi lit up. He walked into a passageway while checking the walls.
They scanned all passageways and there were no entryways. This place here was a grotto. Could it be that the map was similar to a storied house with entrances on top and bottom?
Li Yi and Jiaojiao had an inkling whereas things were not looking good for Hua Feihua’s party. Without Magical Road Signs, they did not know whether they were repeating the same route. Moreover, there was a Scumbag Wang in their party...
Scumbag Wang had a knack for differentiating the routes. Once he realized they went the wrong way, he immediately made a marker and made Hua Feihua and Hua Feiwu retrace their steps while he remained there squawking to warn them.
After endless wrong turns, retracing steps, squawking, two hours had passed. Scumbag Wang has lost his voice yet they were nowhere near the right way.
On the other side, Pretty Good Mood and Pale Blue Elegance had finally found the scarab-spawning spot through the coordinates given by Jiaojiao.
Summoners had it best when it came to leveling up. They just had to push their pet in a room of monsters and could take it easy after that.
Scarab King’s ATK was vicious, defeating monsters faster than Jiaojiao. The number of spawning scarabs could not keep up with Scarab King’s killing speed...
The EXP for both of them soared and Pale Blue Elegance managed to level up.
“This pet is awesome. Sigh, I want one too,” Pale Blue Elegance looked at Scarab King with envious eyes.
There was this certain attraction about King of Pantheon. Ever since she started the game, Pale Blue Elegance has not raced for a long time. Her interest was completely transferred to this game.
However, this was a good thing. She was better off than being paralyzed for life like in the past life.
“It’s a shame pets can’t be traded. I could have given it to you, hahaha...” Pretty Good Mood was laughing with glee. Anyone could tell that these words did not contain a single truth.
“Such a show-off! F*cker!” Pale Blue Elegance overcame her moral inhibitions and cussed for the first time.
...
The Wolf couple were having a bad day. They came to Wailing Grotto due to a quest yet now they were far from completing the quest and had got themselves killed.
The Wolf couple went to Frogman Tribe but since they did not transform into Frogmen, they were hunted down instead. It was not long before they met with Amber Sword Heart.
Amber Sword Heart was the first to fight. He rammed onto Gray Wolf with Charge and followed up with a beautiful set of combos, taking Gray Wolf out easily.
It was not that Gray Wolf sucked in controls but Call Me Red Wolf had some skills. She placed traps, trying to outwit Amber Sword Heart. Alas, her damage could not penetrate Amber Sword Heart’s DEF. Her powerful Explosion Trap only managed to reduce 1,200+ of his HP.
Even without Orlando’s Charity, Amber Sword Heart’s DEP was still terrifying!
Faced against the steel Amber Sword Heart, Red Wolf put up a fight but still fell...
After killing the Wolf couple, Amber Sword Heart shouted in a regional channel.
“Dark Wing, do you dare to come out?”
“Can you not try to act cool, I’m getting goosebumps!”
Amber Sword Heart had just relayed the message when a coarse voice answered in return.
