Chapter 58: Secret Class Legacy
Shin laughed with the rest of my mates, as they gathered around me, while Shin corrected me again:
"We will gain one level for sure, but two? Hmmm, that would be hard, as our level is higher than that dragon with two for now."
"But we will reach your level when we kill that dragon," Mony said with a giggle as she seemed excited about this. I was happy that my team was getting stronger, so I said:
"Ok, you rest up while I gather the loot and examine them. I'm very excited about having this entire treasure drop; I hope we can find something interesting."
I went to gather all the items to find that we gained 32 items from this monster. From the first glance, most of them were forging materials, but there were some weird things too.
I stored these materials for my future uses and sorted out the equipment that fell on one side, then I focused over the strange things in this loot.
The first strange item there was a scroll of paper which was wrapped tightly with a green silk. I looked to this scroll as I tried to observe it but I failed, as I get this result:
'???????? Scroll: ???????????????'
I shared this to the team chat as I asked:
"Anyone know what this is?"
Shin was the first to reply as he said with great astonishment:
"Wow, we have great luck! This is a scroll that caused great damage to a wide range. Keep it safe lucky princess and don't open it. When we go to the town, we can find someone to appraise it."
I looked with doubt to this piece of paper as I asked:
"Are you sure? Is this really a strong item?"
This time, Goda was the one to reply as he said seriously:
"This isn't just good, it's deadly. This is considered a war item, an item that can change the course of a war."
"Oh, then it's priceless then. I will keep it safe in my inventory," I replied with a serious tone as well. This scroll was something I didn't know anything about, but it seemed to be very strong.
I carefully stored it inside my inventory as I began to check the next weird item. It was a small coin shaped item that had many faint inscriptions. I observed it to find its info, it was one half of the exit coin from this dungeon.
'Dungeon gate key part1: collect the two parts to form the key to exit this dungeon.'
I shared this info on the chat, while saying:
"I believe the dragon must have the other half."
Everyone nodded as this was the only explanation, I stored this half into my inventory and then kept checking the rest of the loot. More than 20 pieces belonged to forging materials, which seemed to be a degree higher than the materials dropped by the normal monsters.
What remained were parts of equipment that I still had, which mainly was for other classes except for myself. I stored these parts, which weren't enough to make any weapon or item complete, and then looked at the last piece, which was a long curved dagger with strange writings all over it.
After I observed it, I was surprised as I shared the info at the team chat, which made everyone speechless.
'The Gloomy Dagger: A secret class legacy item. For assassins class only. to be used, the player needs the help of a senior assassin.'
It was a secret class item, which I got the meaning without the need for anyone to explain. Assassins could use this item and then go for class change quest, which would grant them a secret class of their own.
I was excited, and regretful, why was there no assassin in my team? If there was one, then I could give him this legacy and my team would be stronger.
"We need to look for a good assassin," Heda said that while he was drooling over this item. He knew he couldn't use it but he hoped he could as that was what I felt from him.
"Does that mean the dragon will also drop a legacy? Dragons are magician based monsters, so that means it will drop a magic based relic?" Mony said.
"Not necessarily true, the game selects to distribute secret classes based on multiple factors, there is no guarantee we will get a legacy from that dragon. And if we got one, that doesn't mean it will be a magic based class." Shin said.
"It doesn't matter what class we will get, it's great to have two players with secret classes in our team, so let's hope we can get another legacy from that big lizard."
I said with great enthusiasm, as the idea of having two supreme classes early in the game was really exciting. I stored the legacy while snad asked:
"What is this senior assassin?"
"Senior is a title that differentiate between normal NPCs in towns and cities from those who hold positions in there," Shin said.
"So we have to use the help of NPCs to activate this legacy?" Snad said.
"Not any NPC, and those highly esteemed NPCs are hard to meet, difficult to ask a favor from them, and nearly impossible to do a job for you for free," Shin said.
That meant we needed to find an assassin to get this legacy then help him to gain the approval from that NPC. That was a lot to do, so this assassin must be trustworthy or else I prefered this legacy to have dust in my inventory.
"Let's move then to the dragon, I hope this lizard can give us a legacy that we can use," As there was nothing else to say, and my team got enough rest with all of our skills got resetted, I ordered all to move towards the other end of the tunnel.
We moved rapidly with high spirit longing for the fight with that dragon. Unlike the cragen's cave which was cold and gloomy, the dragon's lair was bright and fiery.
The dragon was the same as the cragen, it got weaker and smaller, and even its fire which emanated from all over its body got a lot dimmer. I stood at the entrance of this cave as I turned to say to my team in the chat:
'I believe this dragon will follow the same rules like the cragen, so we must anticipate its berserk mode when its HP falls to the half. We need to reserve any immune skills so that we could use it at that time.'
'What if I don't have such skill?' Snad said.
'Then others who have it will move to protect anyone targeted by that dragon. Anyone else in addition to you doesn't own such a skill?' I said.
'Me,' Mony said.
'Then Shin and I will be responsible for protecting the two of you, I will protect Mony while Shin will protect Snad. Let's go, I will act as the tip of the spear and you will follow behind me.'
I then moved with confidence towards that lizard, which turned from a mighty being to a weak monster that I didn't have any doubt at all in killing it. How weird this game was, that transformation couldn't occur in real life this easily or rapidly.
