章節 47: Chapter 47: City of Death, Skeleton Warrior
Ten minutes later, Liu Yao emerged from his tomb, looking bewildered. "Where's Zhang Yue?"
Li Xiaoyao, pushing up his silver-framed glasses, thought for a moment and said, "He's gone."
"We were wrong," he continued, analyzing the situation. "We thought Zhang Yue was going to use the [Heart of the Demon] to deal with the Killer Mercenary Group. But in reality, he used it to withstand Reaper Caesar's attacks."
"That way, he could use the ten-minute window during Reaper Caesar's invasion to escape from the Killer Mercenary Group and leave the Necropolis."
"Yao-ge, he's left us behind to fend for ourselves and went out to level up alone," Li Xiaoyao added. "Xiao's side mentioned that they lack the materials, so crafting another [Heart of the Demon] would take at least a week."
"We're stuck here, doomed to wait for death inside the Necropolis."
Liu Yao collapsed to his knees, stunned by the reality of the situation.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Zhang Yue had already left the Necropolis, heading toward the City of Death, which was home to level 25 to 28 monsters.
Ten minutes later, he reached his destination.
Before him stood a dilapidated city, shrouded in darkness, exuding a heavy aura of death. Crows circled above the ruins.
As he stepped inside, the ground was littered with human remains.
Suddenly—
Whoosh!
From the ground ahead, a skeletal arm emerged, pale and sinister.
With a series of eerie cracking sounds, a skeletal creature, devoid of flesh, wielding a rusted broadsword, crawled out of the earth.
Zhang Yue cast an A-rank detection spell at the creature.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Skeleton Warrior] (Physical Type · Normal Monster)
Level: 25
Physical Attack: 565
Physical Defense: 390
Magic Defense: 380
HP: 4420
Skills: Heavy Strike, Charge
Description: Once human, the Skeleton Warrior was slain by Reaper Caesar. After the decay of its flesh, it was reduced to bones and now rests beneath the earth, reviving when disturbed...
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
"So this is the highest-difficulty quest in the Necropolis."
"Even the lowest-level monsters here are level 25 skeletons," Zhang Yue muttered as the Skeleton Warrior, wielding its broadsword, staggered closer.
"But with my current strength, this shouldn't be a problem."
Raising his [Dark - Eye of the Demon], Zhang Yue locked onto the Skeleton Warrior and launched his attackm
Fireball!
Boom!
As soon as Zhang Yue attacked, the Skeleton Warrior suddenly charged, closing the distance between them in an instant.
Slash!
The broadsword swung down, striking Zhang Yue's shoulder.
-712!
"This thing is fast."
"I underestimated you," Zhang Yue murmured, casting Flash to quickly widen the gap between them. As soon as he was at a safer distance, he unleashed Ice Spike.
Boom!
The spike erupted from the ground beneath the Skeleton Warrior, freezing it in place.
Without hesitation, Zhang Yue followed up with Lightning Strike and Flame Missile, unleashing a barrage of spells.
-640! Frozen!
-728!
-261! -644 Critical! -261!
The Skeleton Warrior's health plummeted.
As the warrior drew closer again, Zhang Yue summoned his Silver Armored Scorpion and activated Doom Guardian, transferring 50 defense points to his scorpion.
Slash! Slash! Slash!
The Skeleton Warrior relentlessly hacked at the scorpion with its broadsword.
-263! -79 Reflect Damage!
-175! -53 Reflect Damage!
-175! -53 Reflect Damage!
The Silver Armored Scorpion could really take a beating! Unfortunately, its equipment wasn't great, and its HP wasn't that high.
Taking advantage of the moment when the scorpion stunned the Skeleton Warrior with a Charge, Zhang Yue peppered it with regular attacks, dealing 476 damage with each strike.
When his spells were off cooldown, Zhang Yue unleashed another combo of Fireball, Ice Spike, and Lightning Strike, finishing off the Skeleton Warrior.
[Ding~ You have slain a level 25 Skeleton Warrior. EXP +220, Tomb Defense +1, Power +250,000]
Clatter—
Beside the fallen Skeleton Warrior, a black helmet rolled onto the ground.
"Whoa, a drop on the first kill? Looks like the drop rate in the Third World is much higher than in the Second."
Zhang Yue picked up the nine copper coins and the helmet.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Death Helm] (Level 25)
Quality: 2-star
Attributes: ?
Class: Warrior, Knight
HP: ?
Description: A helmet infused with the breath of the undead. Wear it to harness the power of death...
Note: Part of the Warrior/Knight Death Set
Status: Unidentified...
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
The Third World was known for its Death Set.
Set equipment was incredibly rare in the alternate world, not only boasting higher base stats than standard gear of the same level but also offering powerful set bonuses.
After storing the Death Helm in his inventory, Zhang Yue continued his hunt for the next Skeleton Warrior.

Meanwhile.
The members of the Supreme Guild, left with no choice, retreated to the Second World to level up.
Since they were only around level 17-18, there was still plenty of room for improvement in the Second World.
By the next morning.
Chen Jun, leading the players from Misty Rain Pavilion, successfully cleared the Second World and entered the Third.
Once in the Necropolis, Chen Jun immediately opened his Feixin and sent a message to a contact named Killer Peiqi: "I've arrived at the Necropolis. Get a few people below level 27 to help me level up. And bring some level 30s to protect me."
Several minutes passed with no reply.
Growing impatient, Chen Jun sent a voice message: "Ignoring me? You don't want to see your daughter again, is that it? Fine, I'll have her dealt with right now."
The reply came almost instantly: "You dare. Lay a finger on Qiqi, and I'll wipe out your entire Misty Rain Pavilion."
Unbothered, Chen Jun smirked. "Do as I say, and your daughter will be safe."
From the other end, a deep male voice responded, "Collect that level 25 quest, then meet me at the northern exit."
"Now that's more like it." Chen Jun said smugly, closing Feixin.
He led his men to the NPC in the Necropolis to collect their quests before heading towards the northern exit.
There, he found a group of elite members from the Killer Mercenary Group waiting for him.
A middle-aged warrior, clad in golden armor and wielding a golden greatsword, approached Chen Jun, his dark skin gleaming as he growled, "Show me Qiqi."
Calmly, Chen Jun opened Feixin and initiated a brief video call, showing the man, Killer Peiqi, a few seconds of his daughter before ending the call.
Patting Killer Peiqi on the shoulder, Chen Jun sneered, "Remember, if I die, your daughter won't live either."
"And you'll get to see her again once you've killed Zhang Yue for me."
With that, Chen Jun led the hundred players of Misty Rain Pavilion out of the Necropolis.
Killer Peiqi clenched his teeth, turning to his men. "Keep him alive."
"Yes, sir."
The dozen well-armed players, all level 25 to 30, followed Chen Jun closely.
———
Back inside the Necropolis.
In a quiet corner, a stunning mage girl in a purple robe was watching the Misty Rain Pavilion team leave through the northern gate.
It was Su Jinyan.
She quickly opened Feixin and sent a message to Zhang Yue: "Chen Jun has entered the Third World. He just left the north gate with the Misty Rain Pavilion members."
"However, he's heavily guarded by a dozen elite members of the Killer Mercenary Group. And it seems he's blackmailing the group by holding their leader's daughter hostage to make them do his bidding."
Whoosh—
Zhang Yue's reply was swift: "Got it."
Su Jinyan hesitated for a moment before sending another message: "If you trust me… can you tell me where you are?"
As she waited, there was no response from Zhang Yue.
Just as she was about to close Feixin in disappointment, a message came through:
"City of Death."
