Bab 5: Caloric Stone

Right now the game is in full popularity. Hetemorph players are now PK-ing against Hetemorph players, so most players, myself included, are playing in worlds with few humans. Right now I'm walking around the map looking for minerals and killing monsters.

After a long search I came across a mine and immediately went on the offensive. The first enemies I encountered were three weak skeletons. That's why I destroyed them with my sword without any difficulty. I went a little deeper and came across five skeletons, which I destroyed without difficulty. But after ten minutes of walking in this way, I came across skeletons with armor and archers. The first skeletons I encountered were three normal, two armored and one archer. I immediately prepared my attack spells against them: [Widen VIII tier Magic: Explosion]. A huge explosion appeared in the center of the enemy group and blew the skeletons to different points, destroying them all. After twenty minutes of this, I came to the boss room, opened the door made of stone and bone, and saw the giant skeleton made of pure crystal.

[Dungeon Boss: Crystal Giant Skeleton lvl 65]

Boss immediately started to attack me with his sword. I dodged the monster's attacks with a teleportation spell and counter attacked with magic:

[Tripled IX tier Magic: Wermilion Nova]

Three small lights appeared around my hand and flew towards the skeleton. When it hit the skeleton there were three devastating explosions that reduced some of the monster's life bar. I immediately teleported away from the monster and cast my other spell.

[Tripled VII tier Magic: Hell Flame]

At this time, three red flames the size of dots appeared on the monster's head and melted its skull on hit.

After five minutes of such hit and run, the Boss monster's health was halved and the second phase began. The floor in the room cracked and ten skeleton mages appeared. They began to perform rituals on the Boss monster.

Of course I couldn't let that happen so I teleported to the skeleton mages and attacked them with my sword. I killed all the mages but the ritual increased the Boss monster's health by 20%. I attacked the boss monster with spells again:

[Tripled VII tier Magic: Hell Flame]

In this way, after two minutes of attack, the Boss monster's health dropped below fifty percent again and mage skeletons started to emerge from the ground again. But this time I had learned my lesson from the previous incident and cast [Widen VII tier Magic: Chain Dragon Lightning] on all the mages. None of the mage skeletons were able to perform the ritual and were destroyed by me.

I switched all my attacks back to the boss monster and after five minutes of attacking, the monster's health dropped to ten percent and the new phase started. All the bones of the skeleton glowed and suddenly appeared in front of me. Its glowing bones spread magic around it in a shockwave effect and paralyzed me. The paralyzing effect for ten seconds infuriated me, but there was nothing I could do. Eventually I died, but the ring's effect revived me to ten percent health and I was instantly teleported across the room to replenish my mana and health with potions.

I destroyed the Boss monster with [Tripled Magic: Hell Flame].

I obtained a large amount of minerals and stored them in a corner of the mine. After a while they will turn into a world-class item called [Caloric Stone]. In the future, I will buy these minerals from other players to create more Caloric Stones. I left the mine and paid some money to the newly formed explorer guilds to find more mines. I'm sure they will get back to me with good news in a few weeks.

One mounth later....

I am now in front of the entrance to another mine. I learned about the location of this mine yesterday from one of the explorer guilds. I was thinking about how easy it would be to conquest this mine with my new self-made sword in my hand. The sword was created by upgrading the Uranium Crystal Sword with rare data crystals and two Caloric Stones.

[Item Name: Chernobyl]

Divine-class sword

Abilities:

Energy Absorbation - this feature allows the sword to store energy in three ways:

1) The player directs their mana to the sword.

2) By killing enemy creatures and Players. The higher the MP cost of the killed creature, the more energy the sword stores.

3) Interrupts Magic attacks from the enemy, storing energy equal to the MP cost of the spell.

The maximum storage capacity is 30MP

Attack Spells:

(Energy Impact)- The release of stored energy in a 360-degree area. The attack causes AOE damage and creates a paralysis and shock effect for 10-20 seconds. A minimum of 10MP is spent on the attack, and each additional MP spent causes more damage.

(Energy Slash)- A close-range slash attack is performed with stored energy. The attack costs a minimum of 8 MP and each additional MP spent increases range and damage.

(Energy Thrust)- Launches a mid-range, piercing laser attack with stored energy. The minimum energy required is 7MP. The attack pierces and damages more creatures suspended from the energy expended.

(Energy boost)- Wraps the sword in energy, increasing attack damage and critical hit chance. In addition, it applies 100% poison effect. The power and devastation of the attacks depend on the MP spent.

This sword was a masterpiece, after all, I bought a large amount of material for it, created the second Caloic Stone and paid real money to the blacksmith guild to order it. I will continue to strengthen the sword in the future and I want to make it more powerful than a guild weapon.

Now I get rid of my thoughts about the sword and enter the mine. At the entrance I encountered three Imps and I cut them down effortlessly and went deeper. After a few more Imp cuts I had to fight the Demons, they were not very tough and did nothing but provide energy for my sword. After about ten minutes of fighting I got to the middle of the mine, I guess, and the reason I say this is because I wasn't facing any more Imps and I faced a challenging creature like the High Demon and he wasn't alone, he had three Demons with him. I immediately attacked [Energy Slash-MP 10] with my sword and all the Demons died. I wanted to use my next attack against the High Demon, but he was faster than me and attacked with the [Fire Wing] spell, but I cut the spell with my sword, and then I charged the sword energy. I fired the [VII tier Magic: Chain Dragon Lightning] spell against him, but he neutralized my attack with the [Hell Fire Wall] spell. I transferred the sword energy to the sword and charged at him. After about five blows, the enemy was defeated and I was awarded money, a demon horn, and a new level.

After fifteen minutes of fighting in this way, I arrived at the Boss room. I opened the bronze door with demonic decorations and inside I was greeted by a Pentagram with a Boss in the center and pillars on each corner. There was a Gargoyle at the top of each pillar, and I was sure that they would be activated during one of the boss stages. As soon as I entered, the boss monster rose from the center of the pentagram and charged at me:

[Dungeon Boss: Arcdevil lvl-75]

I narrowly avoided the incoming attack and counterattacked with my energy infused sword, but he blocked my attack using [Demonic Shield]. Even though his shield cracked, I didn't risk it and teleported away and attacked using spells:

[Maximize IX tier Magic: Vermilion Nova]

A pillar of flame targeted the boss monster and dealt high fire-based damage. I took this opportunity to continue my attacks:

[Maximize IX tier Magic: Grasp Hearth]

As I clenched my hand, a shriek went up from the Boss monster, causing some damage. The monster raised its hand and a large amount of red fiery mana gathered above and was thrown towards me. I couldn't block this attack with my sword because this AOE attack would cause an explosion. So I cast [Energy Impact] attack with my sword on the huge ball of magic that was now close to me and the two spells collided in the air creating a huge explosion that caused a huge hole in the center. The explosion caused 20 HP damage to me. If that spell would have hit me, the result wouldn't have killed me, but it would have put me in a very difficult situation. The monster threw three [Flame Wing] spells at me, but I avoided two of them and cut one of them with my sword. I immediately cast [Extend IX tier Magic: Temporal Stasis]. The boss monster was completely immobilized and took a little damage.

I attacked the monster with [Maximize X tier Magic: Implosion] and its health dropped below fifty percent. This time the monster sacrificed another ten percent of its health. As a result, the Pentagram filled with blood and five Gargoyles came to life and charged at me together with the Boss monster. At this time I used up all the remaining energy in my sword with the [Energy Impact: MP-14] attack, which dealt great damage to all the Gargoyles, shocking and paralyzing them. I slaughtered all the unmoving monsters and used the 10 MP sword energy I regained to cast the [Enegy Thrust: MP-10] spell, which pierced through the boss monster and caused a huge explosion behind it. I kept attacking like this for five minutes and finally defeated the Boss monster.

[Congratulations on defeating the Boss Monster]

_______________

After I am done with the mine, I immediately make my way to my next destination, the "Eternal Forest", because according to the information I bought from the "World Discovery" guild, which sells information, I am going to look for the very rare "Blood Ash Tree", whose fruit and sap are used in alchemy in most of the potions and even in one of the methods of making a high quality health potion. After walking for about 15 minutes, I approach the entrance to the forest. There are slime, horned rabbits and other small monsters in the forest that are not worth my time for now. The amount of exp they will give me now is too little. I quickly pass through them and move deeper and deeper, the deeper I go, the bigger the trees get and the stronger the monsters get.

I came to the area where I could find the tree and started to look around. The most distinctive feature of this tree is that it has dark red leaves and red crystalline fruits. After about 5 minutes of searching I reach a river flowing with blood. The area where the river was was completely dead soil and no grass was growing. Further on there was a tree with a big trunk. A lot of dead animals and monsters were hanging from the branches of the tree and there was blood everywhere, creating an eerie atmosphere. But as I started to approach the tree, I heard a shrill howl and 4 werewolves with red eyes attacked me. I immediately cast [Call Greater Thunder] and gave the werewolves the [Shock] effect and reduced their hit points. Then I killed the nearest werewolf with the [Hell Flame] spell. But the others jumped on me and hit me with their claws, which gave the [Bleed] effect and reduced my health by 13 points. I immediately killed the second werewolf with the [Polar Claw] spell. The two remaining werewolves howled loudly and suddenly a huge black colored werewolf appeared.

[Alpha Warewolf Jax Bloodmoon lvl 70]

Alpha and the other two werewolves surrounded me and started attacking. I teleported away from them and cast [VII tier magic: Humanity]. Now the two werewolves were frantically attacking the Alpha werewolf. Then I cast [Dragon Lightning] and put them in [Shock] for 5 seconds, at which time I attacked with my sword and killed the 2 werewolves and was left alone with the Alpha werewolf. I cast the [Vermilion Nova] spell on him and reduced his health a little. He lunged at me savagely again, but I cast the [Body of Effulgent Heliodor] spell on myself and neutralized the damage of his sharp claws. I cast the [Grasp Heart] spell, but it didn't affect him, although he did suffer the [Stun] effect. To take advantage of this opportunity, I broke an hourglass and cast the spell [Super-tier magic: Fallen Down]. After casting this spell, a huge pillar of blue light, bright and hot, descended from the sky and the whole world seemed to turn white. After a few seconds, an area devoid of life was left behind, reduced to ashes.

Now the Boss monster's health has dropped below 20 and has entered a new phase. The werewolf's eyes started to glow and red mist formed around it. It rushed at me very quickly and bit me. This took 14 HP points from me and increased his own health. I immediately immobilized it with the spell [Crack In The Ground] and drank a life potion. I continued my attacks, but the red mist was reducing most of the damage I was doing to it. After another 15 minutes of hard struggle, his health dropped below five percent and he started casting new spells. A red magic circle formed below me and a red cloud formed above me. Blood started flowing out of the cloud and every time it touched me it reduced my health, slowed me down and reduced my mana regeneration. I tried to run away from the cloud, but it immediately split above me. I think the only way out was to destroy the werewolf. So I immediately cast the [Implosion] spell and the monster's body collapsed in on itself. With this attack I dealt the final blow and turned it into XP particles.

After defeating the boss monster, I went to the tree and entered through a crack between the roots. It looked like a cave and there was a pool of blood on the ground. In the center of the cave was a large stone sarcophagus and on it lay a woman who was now dead. Her skin was white, her long black hair was down to her knees and her eyes were red. She had her arms crossed across her chest and was holding a large red stone. At her bedside was a gold-embroidered chest containing a large heart. The heart was still beating and with each beat the tree seemed to sway. I approached and first took the heart, then I took the red stone from her hands.
