Chapter 330

The Seal of the Ancient Elves was exactly what they were looking for .
There was only a small probability that Luzel would drop this item, but this probability was increased to 100% when you accepted Talren’s quest .
This was the strategy that not many people knew about .
Lu Li, being someone who had experienced rebirth, wouldn’t miss such a detail . He equipped the Seal of the Ancient Elves onto his badge slot, giving the whole team a Damned Halo .
This aura did not conflict with Remnant Dream’s Trueshot Aura .
Lu Li didn’t need to change any of his equipment to accommodate the new item . He had long since returned Water Fairy’s items .
After they had gotten what they wanted, they returned to complete the quest before heading for Blackfathom .
Blackfathom was a stretch of ruins that was once the site of Zoram City . Within the ruins, there was a collapsed area where the temple had sunk into the ocean . An entrance could be seen poking above the water .
There was a tower of stone by the entrance and two Elite Magic Mobs guarding it .
"Breezy, take a party to fight the left one . Wandering, take a party to fight the right one . Make it quick; end the fight in 15 seconds," Lu Li directed as they approached the tower .
If these two Elite guards fought for more than 15 seconds, they would call a large number of Naga for backup .
Although they were strong enough to deal with them, that wasn’t the issue . Lu Li didn’t want to waste time on these level 25 mobs that gave barely any EXP .
With ten players relentlessly attacking them, the two Elite guards didn’t even have time to summon Water Elementals before they were killed .
"Riceball, give everyone an Underwater Breathing Potion . We need to jump in from here and there is water at the bottom . "
Lu Li indicated at Sesame Rice Ball to give them the Underwater Breathing Potions .
"I don’t want it; I can swim . " Hachi Chan wanted to show off her Druid capabilities .
Lu Li also didn’t need it either; his Druid ability to transform wasn’t really a secret anymore . He didn’t need to hide it, especially in front of his own people .
Lu Li took the lead and jumped in; he was quickly followed by everyone else . They were only so brave because it was a video game . Otherwise, they wouldn’t have jumped in with such confidence .
The landing space was a body of water and there was a big splash as they fell into it .
"Take the potion now, and follow my lead . Do not fall behind; do you understand? Wandering and Breezy, you guys cover the back . Don’t let anyone fall behind .
The next section was an underwater maze with many twists and turns .
In Lu Li’s past life, an incident had occurred here . There was a female player who had gotten lost and had a phobia of either the deep sea, mazes or the darkness . As a result, she couldn’t take the mental pressure of being lost and collapsed .
Although the system promptly disconnected her from the game, she suffered very real mental trauma and the game company gave her some monetary compensation .
There were four girls in this party; Lu Li didn’t want that kind of incident to happen now .
Azure Sea Breeze and Wandering could handle themselves, so they could stay at the back .
Everyone followed Lu Li and dove underwater . They watched as he swam close to a rock wall and went in . The rest then followed him in a line .
The underground environment was quite complex . It was mostly collapsed buildings, but you could occasionally see the ruins of the temple .
As Lu Li had experienced rebirth, he found the journey quite easy and familiar . They were only underwater for seven to eight minutes before they surfaced again . The next section was quite complex as well, but it wasn’t underwater .
As they left the water and set foot onto dry land, everyone felt a sense of security . However, this feeling was short-lived as they were rushed by a group of Naga .
Azure Sea Breeze instinctively moved forward and Taunted, which was decisively followed by everyone else’s attacks .
"Now, we need to find Thaelrid . We’ll split into two teams led by Wandering and I . Take this map; you want to search the three areas with the red dots . Say something in the chat if you find him . "
Lu Li gave Wandering the map and they parted ways .
He led one party to search in another area .
The annoying Thaelrid was silent and didn’t have a fixed position . Otherwise, Lu Li wouldn’t have to go through all this trouble .
Fortunately, he knew the places that Thaelrid was commonly found at, and splitting up would help them quickly cover more ground .
Sure enough, Wandering soon found a dying Sentinel at one of Lu Li’s marked locations . He quickly messaged the rest of the players to meet up with them .
When Lu Li arrived, Thaelrid started to speak . He wasn’t mute like Wandering had described .
"This is our party leader," Wandering said as he pointed at Lu Li .
"Greetings, brave adventurers . " Thaelrid struggled to get up and bluntly said, "My strength is fading; I need your help!"
"We are willing to serve," Lu Li responded and accepted the quest .
"A long time ago, this was the majestic temple of Elune . But now, by the powers of the Ancient Gods, this Sacred Moon Well has been tarnished and ruined . Aku’mai, a servant of the Ancient Gods, has also suddenly emerged from the waters . " Thaelrid’s eyes widened in fright as he trembled and continued, "By the Moon Gods, I swear, I really did see Aku’mai!"
Aku’mai was an ancient demon; it wasn’t that strong, but the meaning it represented was shocking .
Thaelrid pessimistically believed that the Ancient Gods would return with Aku’mai’s coming .
"The Moon Gods will never fear these demons . " Lu Li stepped forward and looked at Thaelrid for a long time before confidently saying, "All of the desecrators will be punished . "
In the normal storyline, you would agree with Aku’mai and then escort him back to complete the quest .
However, Lu Li’s radical performance could draw Thaelrid out of his pessimism .
Sure enough, after hearing Lu Li’s words, Thaelrid clenched his fists and hissed, "Thaelrid doesn’t fear death . Let’s see if Aku’mai can feel fear . "
"Very well . My teammates and I will obey your commands," Lu Li said graciously .
The system prompted then them that they had officially received the "Blackfathom Demon" quest . It seemed to all depend on his acting . Lu Li had put in a lot of effort just to receive this quest .
"The Twillight Hammer is working with the Naga; the influence of their power can be felt throughout this temple . Twilight Lord Kelris had commanded them to fight in order to exchange lives for Aku’mai . If you want to deal with Aku’mai, you must first kill Kelris,"said Thaelrid .
"You rest here . I will bring you Kelris’ head," Lu Li promised without hesitation .
What he was doing required knowledge of the story, not charisma . It had a complete different trigger, so Hachi Chan couldn’t help here . Lu Li was following the strategy guide to gain the most advantage .
"No, I can still fight . " Thaelrid had been infected by Lu Li’s zeal and demanded to fight .
Now, Lu Li had completed all the preparatory work required to complete the Blackfathom Instance Dungeon . The first was getting the Ancient Elf Seal and the second was Thaelrid .
Thaelrid was a level 25 Sharpshooter that could deal more damage than Lu Li . He was also part of the System, so he had overpowered amounts of Defence and HP . Taking him with them to the Instance Dungeon would make it a breeze .
