Chapter 41: Chapter 41: Purgatory - Demon Slayer
[🥳 New novel is out guys, "In Hentai World as Mira Tsubakihara's Relative", do support.🎊.]
Roar! Roar! Roar!
Endless hordes of zombies surged from all directions toward Notting City.
Inside the city, players hastily grabbed their weapons, ready to resist.
Just after finishing his dinner, Zhang Yue logged back in.
In just ten minutes, he had already slain fifty zombies.
The third wave of zombies had been successfully repelled.
Now, he just needed to wait for an hour for the horde to retreat, and then he could complete the world mission and challenge the boss of the Second World.
Before that, Zhang Yue submitted the level 15 king-level bounty mission, Zombie Crisis, that he had completed earlier in the day.
[Ding~ Congratulations! You've completed the level 15 bounty mission: Zombie Crisis. You've received the following rewards: Experience +200,000, Gold +1, Energy +30,000 (with a 10,000x boost), Equipment: [Demon Slayer Ring] +1, Skill Book: [Lightning Spell] +1, Elite Pet Egg +1]
Clang! Clang!
Two beams of golden light showered down from above Zhang Yue's head.
[Ding~ Congratulations! You've leveled up to level 19]
[Ding~ Congratulations! You've leveled up to level 20… You now need 120,000 experience points for your next level up]
Opening his status panel, Zhang Yue discovered he still had a hefty 110,000 experience points remaining.
He was just 10,000 experience points away from level 21.
However, Zhang Yue decided to allocate all of this experience to the Silver Armored Scorpion.
Due to the death reduction effect from his Necromancer class, the experience needed for pet level-ups was halved.
The Silver Armored Scorpion's level instantly soared from 15 to 18.
In the past two days in the Second World, Zhang Yue had killed thousands of zombies and captured over twenty ordinary zombies through Soul Harvest.
He had consumed them to upgrade two into elite zombies.
With the elite pet egg received as a reward from this mission, he needed just seven more elite pets to elevate the Silver Armored Scorpion's quality from elite to rare.
'No rush; it will come in time.'
With the Necromancer Evolution effect at hand, the day would come when the Silver Armored Scorpion would evolve into a mythical-level pet.
As for the Lightning Spell, Zhang Yue directly spent one million energy points to upgrade it from D-grade to A-grade.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Super Lightning Spell] (A-grade)
Effect: Summons a lightning bolt to strike a single enemy, dealing 300% spell damage.
Special Effect: 30% chance to paralyze the enemy for 1 second (the paralyzed state cannot perform any actions).
Cost: 95 mana points.
Cooldown: 5 seconds.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
"Nice! I've just gained another single-target burst skill."
With that, Zhang Yue took out the only piece of equipment among his rewards: the Demon Slayer Ring.
'Sure enough, it is of 3-star quality.'
Without hesitation, Zhang Yue activated one-click refinement, consuming 90,000 energy points to upgrade the Demon Slayer Ring from white to gold.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Purgatory: Demon Slayer] (lv20, Gold)
Quality: 3 stars.
Class: Mage, Beastmaster.
Magic Attack: 155.
Attributes: Intelligence +10, Spirit +10.
Special Effect: Demon Slayer (Each attack by the wearer burns 200 mana points from the enemy. When the enemy runs out of mana, it deducts an equivalent amount of health).
Description: A ring that seals demons, hailing from hell, moving toward darkness…
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
In comparison, the level 7, 1-star, Glory: Lord's War Ring that Zhang Yue had been wearing felt pathetically inferior.
So, he immediately made the switch.
As the dark crimson ring that seemed to flow with blood adorned his finger, Zhang Yue felt his blood surge toward his right hand.
His attack power skyrocketed from 373 to 518 in an instant.
One had to admit that bounty missions were truly the fastest way to enhance both level and power.
He also gained four gold coins.
While the value of gold coins in the Second World had depreciated compared to the First World, these four coins were still worth about 50,000 in total.
However, with the one million provided by Liu Yao, Zhang Yue no longer needed money in reality.
He could save these coins for use in the other world.
Before long, the zombie wave had receded.
The system notification Zhang Yue had eagerly awaited finally arrived.
[Ding~ Congratulations! You've completed the Second World mission. The boss portal for the Second World has been activated. Defeat the world boss to proceed to the Third World.]
At the same time, on the other side…
After successfully repelling the zombie wave, Liu Yao, leading a group of players from the Supreme Guild, received the system notification about attacking the Second World boss.
However, the group of players, all around level 16-17, found themselves in a dilemma.
"The strategy guide says the Zombie King boss in the Second World is level 20 and 3-star. With our current levels and strength, it's going to be tough to take him down."
"But the drop rates for ordinary monsters in the Third World are significantly higher. We need to get there as soon as possible to level up fast."
Just as Liu Yao and his group were at a loss for what to do, Liu Yao suddenly received a message from Zhang Yue: "I'll take you all to the world boss."
"Damn!" Liu Yao excitedly slapped Supreme Xiaoyao, knocking him to the ground. "The big guy is going to help us fight the world boss."
Without wasting time, Liu Yao quickly replied, "Great! Where?"
Zhang Yue sent his location to Liu Yao.
Just then, Su Jingyan sent Zhang Yue a message: "Shall we take on the world boss together?"
With the 3-star ring Purgatory: Demon Slayer, Zhang Yue was confident he could solo the boss of the Second World.
However, if he could have the support of a forbidden mage, his chances of winning would be even greater.
So, Zhang Yue replied, "Sure."
Not long after, the three parties gathered in Notting City.
A level 20 mythical Necromancer, a level 19 epic forbidden mage, and a level 17 elite sword-and-shield warrior.
Along with a group of ordinary players at level 16.
Zhang Yue formed a party, bringing Su Jinyan and Liu Yao in, creating a hundred-man team.
When attacking the world boss, the maximum team size was a hundred.
Following that, the boss portal was opened, and the group entered the world boss domain.
Swish!
As their vision shifted, they found themselves in a city shrouded in darkness, resembling a desolate wasteland.
Before them stood a towering giant zombie, looming at seven or eight meters tall.
[lvl20 Zombie King](Physical Type, 3-star Boss)
The blood-red ID hovering above the giant zombie's head filled the level 16 players from the Supreme Guild with dread.
Previously, the 17-level 3-star Zombie Tyrant King had nearly wiped them out; now, they faced a 20-level 3-star boss.
At that moment, Zhang Yue faced the boss and said to the members of the Supreme Guild behind him, "You all stay back."
Then he turned to Su Jinyan and added, "You stay at a distance too. Don't get too close; it can take you out in an instant."
Su Jinyan nodded. "I understand."
With that, Zhang Yue summoned the Silver Armored Scorpion and launched an attack at the Zombie King.
Roar!
With an earth-shattering roar, the Zombie King suddenly turned its head.
"Humans, do you wish to taste death?"
"Damn!" Liu Yao exclaimed in shock. "A talking zombie?"
At this moment, Supreme Xiaoyao looked worried. "This morning, when we fought the Zombie Tyrant King in the secret realm, Zhang Yue's damage barely broke through its defenses."
"This Zombie King is also a 3-star boss, and its level is three levels higher than the Tyrant King. I'm afraid Zhang Yue won't be able to deal with it."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yao was astonished. "What the hell! Why didn't you point that out earlier? I didn't revive yet."
Supreme Xiaoyao adjusted his glasses. "When he invited you, you agreed too quickly, and I got knocked out by you."
"We're doomed." Liu Yao suddenly fished out a scroll. "Oh! Thankfully, I brought a town return scroll. Now I'm not afraid."
The crowd stared in disbelief.
On the field, Zhang Yue immediately checked the Zombie King's stats.
[Attack: 750, Defense: 320, Health: 42,000]
Zhang Yue weighed his attack of 518.
With a loud boom, a Super Lightning Spell summoned a bolt of lightning from the sky, striking the Zombie King.
-794 Paralysis! -50 Freeze Damage!
Seeing the damage numbers floating above the Zombie King's head, Liu Yao, who had been ready to flee with his town return scroll, widened his eyes in surprise.
"Fuck! That's awesome."
