Chapter 97
Chapter 97 - Gathering of Heroes
Dark Moon Valley, Dark Moon Graveyard .
Countless tombstones stood around a dilapidated chapel . In the midst of night, one could hear wails of agony coming out from the tombstones . Meanwhile, Kobold Assassins roamed the dark and hidden locations around the broken down chapel .
This place was the most famous location of Dark Moon Valley .
Due to this place being the closest and the first twenty-man Team Dungeon activated near Red Leaf Town, it held high importance to the many Guilds stationed in Red Leaf Town . Compared to the previous six-man Party Dungeon, the various Guilds were paying the most attention to this Team Dungeon .
That was because Team Dungeons and Party Dungeons were different . Not only was the difficulty for Team Dungeons higher, but the equipment that dropped from them was also better . Moreover, only by clearing a Team Dungeon would a Guild be able to prove their strength . Aside from that, there was a gigantic Glory List beside the Teleportation Gate of every Team Dungeon . On it, the names of the Team and players who obtained the First Clear for the Dungeon would be listed for latecomers to admire .
Of course, aside from the First Clear, the record for the fastest to clear the Dungeon would also be recorded, with the reserved record set at three hours . As long as a team surpassed the record time, their names would be recorded . However, this record was not permanent, but only temporary . As long as another team could obtain an even shorter record time, they would replace the current holders of the record .
Currently, players filled all of the Dark Moon Graveyard . Aside from the various large Guilds from Red Leaf town, there were plenty of temporary groups attempting to challenge this Team Dungeon .
“Wow! It’s just as expected of the competition for the First Clear of the Team Dungeon . The equipment on these guys is just too gorgeous! Our temporary group has no chance of competing against them at all . ”
“That’s only natural . Why don’t you look at just how many times these Guilds have cleared the Level 3 to Level 4 Party Dungeons? Even the team belonging to the weakest Guild here would have seven to eight pieces of Bronze Equipment on each party member . Look at Martial Union over there; all of their members are wearing Bronze Equipment . Their leader, Ironsword Lion, is wearing the Wolf Fang Set Equipment that can only be obtained from the Level 4 Dungeon, Black Wolf’s Den . ”
“Ironsword Lion’s equipment could be considered quite good amongst the unrated Guilds . However, look over there at the third-rate Guild, Heaven’s Crowns . The equipment on their elite team’s vice-leader, Passenger of Wind, is the Spirit Wind Set Equipment obtained from the Level 4 Advanced Dungeon, Ghost Fortress . ”
The players of temporary teams gazed at the equipment of the Guild teams in envy . They spoke about the items as if enumerating their own family’s valuables, and the more they spoke, the more drool leaked out from the corner of their mouths .
Only the Elite parties of Guilds could clear those high difficulty Party Dungeons . Unaffiliated individuals like themselves could only look on with envy .
Just as everyone was sighing in admiration at the equipment of these elite teams, Stabbing Heart of Assassin’s Alliance led a group of players over . The equipment of the group was extremely unified . All twenty players wore the same Level 4 Bronze Equipment . Amongst them, the two silver daggers hung around Stabbing Heart’s waist looked extraordinarily radiant .
“Crap, it can’t be, right? Those are Gemini’s Thorns that only drop from the final Boss of the Hard Mode of Ghost Fortress,” an Assassin who was a dagger-fanatic cried out in shock .
Suddenly, the team leaders and upper echelons of the other Guilds all cast sidelong glances over to Stabbing Heart .
This design and color were exactly the same as the information displayed on the official announcement .
“As expected of a second-rate Guild; the Assassin’s Alliance’s strength cannot be taken lightly . They managed to clear the Hard Mode of Ghost Fortress without anyone noticing . Meanwhile, until now, we have merely killed off the first Boss of Hard Mode,” Passenger of Wind sighed with regret .
“Humph! So what if they managed to clear the Hard Mode? We will still start from the same starting point from now on . The difficulty of a Team Dungeon is not something a Party Dungeon can compare to . Clearing it depends more on the commands given,” Ironsword Lion wrinkled his brows, snorting in disdain . He believed that his own techniques were no weaker than Stabbing Heart’s . If he had not been ambushed by that Ye Feng, causing him to lose a level, the party he led might have been able to clear the Hard Mode of Ghost Fortress .
“Interesting,” when Shadow’s leader, Zhang Luowei, heard the discussions of the other Guilds, a faint smile appeared on his face . He was immensely arrogant, as if he did not place importance on any of these players .
The various Guilds present were unwilling to comply with each other . After all, God’s Domain had only recently begun; nobody would know what the future would bring . The Assassin’s Alliance was only this powerful due to their strong initial foundation . However, the First Clear for the Dark Moon Graveyard could not be obtained just by relying on a strong foundation . At best, the Assassin’s Alliance would only have a minor advantage over the other Guilds .
The First Clear of this Team Dungeon this time around was considered a shuffling of power in Red Leaf Town . Whoever obtained the First Clear would increase their prestige in Red Leaf Town, improving their Guild’s development . It would have a great effect on attracting new players to join their Guilds .
Everyone looked at the time . There was still over twenty minutes before the opening of Dark Moon Graveyard . They all stood by a side, patiently waiting .
“Sister Snow, this place is really lively!” Xiao Yue’er giggled, pulling on Gentle Snow’s delicate arm as she took a look at her surroundings .
Gentle Snow nodded . She looked around with an indifferent face, her expression as cold as ice . She did not pay any attention to the Guilds present . Instead, she was looking for a certain someone .
Although Gentle Snow and her group kept a low profile when they arrived at the Dark Moon Graveyard, everyone’s sights still unconsciously turned towards the group; including the upper echelons of the various Guilds .
They still possessed the chance to compete in the case of second-rate Guilds . However, it was but a fleeting dream for them to compete against a first-rate Guild . The main reason being the gap between a first-rate Guild and a second-rate Guild was just too wide . Not only was there a difference in the number of players in the Guild, but there was also the difference of the quality of players and fundings .
Just by standing in this place, Gentle Snow caused a great pressure to loom over the upper echelons of the many Guilds present . As for the cause for this pressure, aside from the disparity between their Guilds, the disparity between personal strength was also one of the causes . As long as one played virtual reality games, they would certainly know of the Snow Goddess . However, this name was not praise for Gentle Snow’s stunning complexion, but for her frightening strength .
“As expected of the Snow Goddess . The equipment on her body is likely the most top-notch equipment available to players at this stage of the game,” Stabbing Heart inwardly admired the silver-red battle armor that Gentle Snow wore .
This was the Flame Light Set Equipment that could only be obtained from the Level 5 Advanced Dungeon, Lava Cavern . The Assassin’s Alliance was never able to clear this Dungeon . Moreover, this Flame Light Set was a Mysterious-Iron Set Equipment that would only drop from the Hard Mode of the Dungeon .
The Set Equipment was much better than any other equipment, not to mention the crimson-colored Flame Spirit Greatsword in Gentle Snow’s hands . That was a Level 5 Secret-Silver Two-handed Sword . The weapon itself could easily overwhelm his pair of Mysterious-Iron ranked Gemini’s Thorns .
The pressure this set of equipment gave off to the other experts present was enormous . In addition to Zhao Yueru and Xiao Yue’er’s Mysterious-Iron Equipment, Gentle Snow’s group practically flattened everyone else at the Dark Moon Graveyard . How were these experts supposed to compete against Gentle Snow’s group now?
“Why isn’t he here yet?” after taking a look around, a faint layer of frost appeared on Gentle Snow’s face as she was unable to discover Shi Feng’s figure anywhere .
“Hahaha! Snow, that guy must’ve known that he would just humiliate himself, so he didn’t dare show up . Why don’t we just call a few more members over?” Zhao Yueru stuck out her impressive twin peaks, laughing delightfully .
Gentle Snow gave Zhao Yueru’s words some thought . The First Clear for the Dark Moon Graveyard was extremely important . If Shi Feng really was not coming, then she should be making some preparations ahead of time .
Just as Gentle Snow was prepared to contact her subordinates, Shi Feng and his party ran over .
“Sorry, I’ve made you all wait,” Shi Feng scratched his head, apologizing .
Although he hurried over, the distance was just too far . Moreover, they had met a Level 5 Extremely Rare Elite on the way here, so they had wasted some time…
