Chapter 54: Bribing the Priest of Light, Trial of the Tower of Light
"Ding! Aaron Town Announcement:"
"The final dungeon [Dark Ridge] has been opened. Players can now go to the dungeon through the teleportation portal in Light Square. After the nightmare difficulty dungeon is cleared, the teleportation portal between Aaron Town and other cities in the Holy Light Kingdom will be opened."
"Reminder: This mission is limited to players with a level of 15 or higher."
……
On the quest panel of all the Aaron Town players, there was an additional quest called [Redemption of Aaron Town].
"It's finally started… As long as I clear the dungeon, I can meet my daughter-in-law in Silver Dragon Town!"
"F**k, the brother upstairs, if you're going to show off. I'm going to beat your crooked head."
"Level 14 scum here. I’ll sit back and wait for the big guys to clear it."
All players of level 15 and above walked toward the Light Square.
Players below level 15 continued to do what they were doing.
When Su Ming heard the system notification, he could not help but laugh as he shook his head." I didn't expect that this dungeon would be opened a day earlier because of my appearance."
According to the trajectory of his previous life, the average player would reach level 20 tomorrow.
The three major guilds, [Night Blade], [Immortal Shadow], and [Pale Night], joined forces and spent four or five hours clearing the nightmare difficulty dungeon, which was unbelievably difficult.
This dungeon could not be cleared without top players from all guilds.
Of course, this was the situation in the previous life, not the present.
After all, he himself was the biggest variable.
Subsequently, Su Ming looked at his serial quest.
[Demonic Crisis (4)]Difficulty: Diamond
Type: Chain Quest – 4th Part
Quest Description: In the midst of constant battles, the town of Aaron has come to its final day of redemption. Please go and kill the higher Demon Lord and the mastermind behind the siege of Aaron Town.
Quest requirements: Kill the higher demon – Lord of Flames?? The mastermind behind the scenes has an unknown identity.
As for this mastermind, Su Ming thought that it was the heretic apostle who had sacrificed Elos and summoned the Dark Demon Dragon.
In his previous life’s battle, the heretic apostle had managed to escape in the end.
This also led to the failure of the quest.
Su Ming looked at the large number of players crowding at the entrance of the church to enter the dungeon of [Dark Ridge].
He did not enter the dungeon first.
Su Ming planned to use 20,000 gold coins to take down the hidden quest from the Church of Light before going to the dungeon. With one more Gold-grade skill, his strength would increase by a little.
As for whether players could clear the Nightmare Dungeon.
The answer to this question was that it was absolutely impossible!
Their level was not enough. Their equipment was also not enough. Even if they sacrificed their lives in droves, they couldn't survive the nightmare dungeon.
Su Ming turned around and entered a corridor. He was heading toward the area behind the Church.
It only took him a minute or two to reach his destination.
A tall tower stood on the flat ground, and an old man stood guard at the entrance.
[Light Priest – Els LV20]"Hello, I'm here to participate in the trial of the Tower of Light."
Su Ming got straight to the point.
"The trial of the Tower of Light only allows members of the Church of Light to participate once. I'm sorry, adventurers, you can't participate…… Unless…… Hmmm."
The old man stood there indifferently and extended two fingers at the same time.
It was a hint… No, it should be an explicit statement!
There was a smile on Su Ming’s face.
Anything that could be solved with money was not a problem.
He took out 20,000 gold coins and handed them to the man.
"Get in."
The old man glanced at the bright gold coin and smiled a little.
Su Ming stepped into the teleportation portal and disappeared.
……
[Current Position: Church of Light – 1st Floor of Tower of Light]"Trial rules: Defeat the demons on each floor, and you will advance to a higher floor. The higher the number of floors you reach, the more generous rewards you will receive. Note: The skills you can use are limited to the Holy Light System."
In the next moment, a demon appeared in front of him.
[Little demon]Level: 5
Title: Ordinary
HP: 1200
Attack: 90
Defense: 50/35
Skill: Claw Strike LV3
It was a small Level 5 monster with weak attributes.
With the 10% physical penetration bonus of his BUFF [Frontier], Su Ming raised his staff and attacked from the front. A single hit from the staff killed the little demon.
"Monster is dead. Moving to 2nd floor." The system announced.
Killing monsters in the Tower of Light did not give any experience points, but Su Ming had found something.
The [Destiny Box] could absorb these monsters’ vitality.
After discovering this, Su Ming fought with even more enthusiasm.
As the number of floors increased, the number of trial monsters increased. Moreover, the level and title of the monsters would increase by one after every 10 floors.
Fortunately, the skill cooldown time would be reset after the challenger advanced to a higher floor.
Furthermore, the rules of the trial did not prohibit the effects of BUFFs.
Su Ming's killing speed was extremely fast.
10th floor ……
15th floor ……
20th floor ……
……
In the Light Square.
After the failure of the first few batches of players who entered the dungeon, the players of Aaron Town had a general understanding of the situation of the nightmare difficulty of the dungeon of [Dark Ridge].
It was horrifying!
Even the small monsters inside the dungeon were too fierce.
The players who entered the dungeon were killed by the little monsters before they could even see the first boss.
"Didn't brother [Cang Hai] come? Or has he already entered the dungeon?"
[Night Blade Flame], who had just returned to Aaron Town, looked around but didn't see Su Ming."I didn't see [Cang Hai] either. Moreover, we don't have time to wait for him. We must seize this opportunity to clear the nightmare difficulty dungeon of Dark Ridge this morning so that we can enter a higher level map."
[Immortal Shadow] shook her head and said."That's right. The sooner we enter the advanced map, the greater our advantage."
[Night Blade Flame] agreed.Then, the two major guilds entered the dungeon at the same time.
