Chapter 53: Forest of a Thousand Wonders
Passing through the First Boss area.
Once again, a group of monsters appeared ahead.
Snow Moon was startled.
"C-Can we clear them?"
"No, it'll take too long for just the two of us." No One shook his head.
B-But...
I want to clear them, trust me, I do !
Being carried like a sack of rice is so embarrassing.
No One chuckled.
"I won't carry you anymore, can you try running?"
"The Divine Druid doesn't have any speed-increasing skills." Snow Moon frowned.
No One laughed and took out a Musical Cube.
"I have the Bard class, so I can buff speed a little. Just try to keep up. These monsters aren't very fast."
Snow Moon nodded.
No One simply threw the cube up, leisurely jumping into his own dance.
Snow Moon followed along No One's path, watching the young man wield his twin blades, slicing through the monsters.
So that's what his silhouette looks like when he crosses a sea of flames.
She smiled.
She tried her best to keep up, but was gradually left far behind.
You know what, when we get home, I'll nerf the speed of Blade Dancer for you!
Snow Moon laughed heartily as she ran after No One.
As countless monsters chased from behind.
These players are truly crazy.
The feeling of breaking the rules, not following the norm, is really quite thrilling!
Snow Moon quickly ran after.
The distance to the next room wasn't far, but she hadn't expected so many monsters.
Seeing the horde, Snow Moon understood why players skipped them.
Too much of a waste of time!
"Alright, this part is a bit tricky for newcomers, let me help."
No One said while running and changing equipment.
Snow Moon recognized what he just put on.
The Emperor's Gauntlet.
Ahead of them was a large cliff.
High above was the entrance to the Boss's lair.
No One seemed to run up the wall.
[The Emperor's Reach]
He grabbed Snow Moon and continued running up.
"I'll give you a ride!"
"Ahhh!!!"
Snow Moon laughed and screamed as he pulled her up.
"Up we go!"
No One stopped running, turning and propelling Snow Moon forward with momentum.
She landed with a thud at the cave entrance.
No One continued running up.
"What do you think?"Did you enjoy it?" He laughed heartily.
"My heart almost stopped!" Snow Moon regained her composure, her heart pounding heavily.
"Get used to it, when you go with other players, they all do this. If you follow the guide, you'll be left outside the Boss's room," No One said, wrapping his arm around Snow Moon as they walked.
Snow Moon burst out laughing.
He really treated her like a sibling.
At least they had reached the final Boss room.
【The Forest's Core】
"Alright, now it's time to unleash some damage."
One reason why this dungeon is a daily mission is because it's mindless.
The final Boss of this dungeon just requires concentrated damage to destroy its core.
However, the longer you take while attacking, the more mechanisms the Boss will deploy.
If you deal damage quickly, the Boss won't even have time to reveal any mechanisms.
"The main damage of the Divine Druid is Wood type, so you won't do much damage, as this thing has high Wood resistance."
No One cracked his neck.
"When the Boss starts, it will unleash a big damage burst on the tank. Do you have a resistance skill or should I dodge?"
Snow Moon smiled cheerfully.
"I have one, don't be surprised."
"Huh?"
"Bestow everything upon you." Snow Moon began to chant.
【Forest of a Thousand Wonders】
A green light flickered on No One's body.
His body emitted a radiant glow, his outfit and skin transformed into a light green color, his body transparent like a spirit.
"W-what is this?"
No One quickly read the skill.
Meanwhile, a root sprouted from the ground and shot toward him.
【Forest of a Thousand Wonders】
【Understanding all things, being all things.】
【Immune to all damage and negative effects, including true damage. At the same time, unable to deal damage while the effect lasts.】【Can be reactivated to end the effect early. Upon ending, the next attack is guaranteed to be a critical hit and deals damage equal to the damage that would have been received.】
What?
The Divine Druid not only counters Plague Doctor, but it also counters Blade Dancer?
Developers, it's only been a few days!
I haven't even enjoyed playing Blade Dancer thoroughly yet.
Numerous vines continuously lashed at No One.
"Just let it hit you; near the end of the 5 seconds of the Forest of a Thousand Wonders, reactivate and unleash the stored damage on it," Snow Moon cheered from the sidelines.
She hadn’t engaged the Boss at all, so she was not targeted.
No One sighed.
I despise the developers.
No One stood still, absorbing the damage. As soon as the effect expired, he rushed towards the core.
【First Move of the Blade Dancer: Sever The Sun And Moon】
SLASH.
The cut was incredibly precise, slicing the Core in half.
The damage from normal boss attacks is usually very high. The Core Boss has a mechanism that repeatedly uses high-damage attacks until it hits a target, causing a near-death damage state at the start of the battle, triggering the Forest of a Thousand Wonders effect.
As a result, No One's slash resulted in an unbelievable damage number.
He looked at the damage chart in disbelief.
How many figures was that?
440 thousand, 4 million, no.
44 million damage?
What the heck?
No One turned around, grinning with excitement, and placed his hands on Snow Moon's shoulders.
"Miss Snow Moon, are you in a guild? How about you join mine?"
This kind of counter damage? The Phantom of The Immortal Blade will be my punching bag !
"What? Wwhhhaaaattt?" Snow Moon's voice trembled as she was shaken.
"Stooooooppp iiiittt!"
No One finally stopped after a while.
Snow Moon was dizzy from all the shaking.
"Why are you so excited?"
"That skill is incredibly effective for fighting the Phantom of The Immortal Blade. Want to team up with my guild to take it on?" No One beamed.
Fight the Phantom of The Immortal Blade?
Hmm...
"No." Snow Moon refused.
The boss had instructed not to get involved in storyline content.
Going directly to fight the Phantom of The Immortal Blade? Do I still want to retire early and go on 12 vacations a year?
"What?" No One was taken aback.
"Are you sure you don't want to?"
"Yes, I don't want to."
No One was silent for a moment and tilted his head.
"Please, pretty please?"
"No!" Snow Moon laughed.
No One kept trying to persuade her for 15 minutes, but Snow Moon continued to refuse.
"I don't want to go fight the Phantom of The Immortal Blade Boss, so I must decline."
"Alright then..." No One finally gave up.
"But if you want, feel free to join my guild."
"The Divine Druid class is interesting, really strong in PVP! My friend and I could really use a support role for PVP!"
This time, Snow Moon agreed.
Joining a guild is also part of the gaming experience after all.
"Alright, let's finish up the daily quests. Let me contact the guild leader."
【No 11: Lady Lam, are you there? I found a new member.】
【Cherished Dream: send me the ID.】
Oh right, Cherished Dream is still have to do chores to Lady Lam.
Immediately, a notification popped up.
【Snow Moon has joined the guild, everyone, say hello!】
【Hello, I'm a cute little loli, looking for a seasoned older player to chase after, hope you'll all help out, hehe!】
Huh?
What?
The guild chat went silent.
【Hau Hau Noodle: are older men the trend now?】
【Floral Underpants: ...】
【Lady Lam: ...】
【Cherished Dream: ...】
【Lunar Ren: ...】
【TwinBird: ...】
【Ye Yu: Sister!】"I understand you!"
No One looked at Snow Moon.
After seeing the notification, Snow Moon also turned to look at No One.
"I pressed the wrong button! That's not what I meant!!!"
No One covered his face with his hand.
Another loli is looking for a middle-aged man.
Snow Moon wanted to cry.
Once back, they must tell everyone to fix the template message!
