【Potential Drop Rewards: Advanced Class Change Slot, Lucky Treasure Chest】
A daily repeatable dungeon?
After reading the details of the quest in her view, Meng Zhihan was momentarily taken aback.
This task seemed different from the usual ones.
Moreover, there’s a time limit?
And the rewards are drop rewards, not task rewards?It sounded like another repeatable dungeon similar to the Shadow Dungeon, but with a higher threshold.
As Meng Zhihan pondered over the system message, she turned to Godwarden Zero and asked:
“So, Lady Zero, how many people are required for this task? Also… how can we actually reach this Labyrinth?”
Hearing Meng Zhihan’s questions, Zero’s expression showed a look of seriousness as she replied:
“This task does not have a specific required number of participants as all the chosen ones who enter the labyrinth will automatically undertake this task altogether. However, considering the large numbers of demons lurking inside it, I advised that you chosen ones should at the very least form a team.”
“In addition, the location of the demon palace will constantly change, and not everyone may find it within the labyrinth.”
“Only those who locate the palace will have the opportunity to enter and defeat the Seventh Demon Lord, thus obtaining the most lucrative drop rewards it contains. Furthermore, the strength of the Seventh Demon Lord will also vary based upon the number of chosen ones entering the palace…”
“After successfully defeating the Seventh Demon God, the palace will disappear for that day, and the seal which chains Azazel will be strengthened.”
“However, the palace refreshes at midnight and on the following day, the Demon God’s Palace will reappear in the labyrinth once more, and chosen ones can search for and defeat the Seventh Demon Lord yet again. This process will need to be repeated continuously to strengthen the seal.”
“As for how to reach the Labyrinth of the Demon Lord…”
The Lady Zero paused before continuing:
“It is located deep under the roots of the World Tree, but I have set up a direct teleportation array next to the Temple on the World Tree, which can transport you directly to the entrance of the Demon God’s Labyrinth.”
“Be prepared however, for there are no directions inside the labyrinth. Once inside, all maps will be ineffective. However, if you wish to leave, you can simply pray silently and call upon the name of the Goddess to return back to the surface.”
“Furthermore, since the power of the abyss exists in this Labyrinth, only the Chosen Ones blessed by Her Majesty can be immune to the corruption of the Demon Lord, so no one other than the Chosen Ones is allowed to enter the labyrinth.”
After finishing this explanation, Godwarden Zero drew a symbol of the Scepter of Life upon her chest and gave a slight nod:
“Chosen ones, I wish you success.”
After receiving the information regarding the [Labyrinth of the Demon Lord] from Lady Zero, Meng Zhihan immediately decided to visit its supposed location.
She opted not to announce this news publicly right away but instead planned to explore it alone first.
With her being promoted to a Silver-ranker, Meng Zhihan felt more confident in her abilities.
Nonetheless, she wasn’t aiming to complete it entirely, but she was confident in scouting ahead and retreating safely should things turns south.
Following the Lady Zero’s directions, Meng Zhihan easily found the teleportation array near the Life Temple on the World Tree.
After taking a deep breath, she finally stepped into the array.
Whilst being accompanied by a faint green glow, Meng Zhihan felt the world spin around her as her vision shift abruptly.
It lasted for a few seconds, and when the scenery gradually settled, Meng Zhihan found that she had been transported to a hollowed-out area underground at the base of the World Tree.
Amidst a myriad of twisting and ancient-looking roots, Meng Zhihan stood before a massive black and red stone gate.
The gate, which looks to be made up of towering minerals, was decorated with intricate demon statues.
Inside, it was completely pitch dark, as if leading to another realm.
Faint, monstrous growls also echoed from within it from time to time.
This definitely looks to be the Labyrinth of the Demon Lord.
With a mix of anticipation and vigilance, Meng Zhihan adjusted her state and walked through the gate.
And as soon she stepped inside, her vision swiftly changed once more.
She found herself in a sprawling labyrinth, its walls composed of black and red stones. Candles flickered at intervals, casting eerie shadows that danced across the walls and filled the air with an ominous sense of dread.
Looking back, she saw that the entrance which she had come through had actually vanished, as if she had been transported directly into the labyrinth itself.
“Interesting.”
Muttering to herself, the girl cast the spell [Light] and began to explore the labyrinth.
Yet after only taking a few steps, she immediately spotted a figure that looks to be a monster.
They were small, grotesque humanoid creatures, slightly larger than goblins, with sharp horns and slender, red tails.
When Meng Zhihan spotted them, recognition hit her like a jolt.
“Fire Demons!”
These creatures were exactly the same one like that monster where she got that demon horn from.
They look easy to deal with.
Their strength also looks to be not very high, at most only at the Iron-rank.
Meng Zhihan’s eyes lit up as she immediately activated her [Shapeshifter] skill, transforming into a majestic Pterodactyl.
Then she took off, dove, and let out her ice breath…
In no time, the fire demons that hadn’t managed to escape her range of attack were frozen into ice statues.
After deactivating her skill, Meng Zhihan returned to her human form and lightly touched the ice statues.
With a crisp “crack,” the ice quickly shattered, turning the fire demons into ashes.
At the same time, she received a notification that she had gained over 5,000 experience points.
“So much experience!”
Meng Zhihan was delighted.
However, seeing that her experience requirements had multiplied several times over after reaching Silver-rank, with each level requiring at least a million points and increasing exponentially as further strengthens herself, Meng Zhihan quickly regained her composure.
“Leveling up is becoming more and more harder.”
She shook her head lightly.
Feeling a sense of urgency, Meng Zhihan decided to continue her exploration.
However, just as she was about to leave, she noticed a shimmering, multi-colored glow emanating from the corner where the fire demons had stood moments ago.
The light then coalesced into a shimmering, illusory chest not long after.
“Is that… a Lucky Treasure Chest?”
Meng Zhihan’s excitement grew.
She hurried over and reached out to the chest.
The instant she touched it, the chest burst into brilliant light and opened itself automatically.
A subtle spatial ripple then passed over it, as the chest vanished, leaving behind only a beautifully crafted longsword.
Seeing the sword, Meng Zhihan’s eyes widened:
“Is this… an Epic Purple-class weapon for Iron-rankers!”
It was a Epic Purple-class weapon!
Although Meng Zhihan had already advanced to Silver rank and no longer needed a longsword as an Archdruid, such a high-level weapon was still rare among players and could be sold for 20,000 contribution points!
“This is amazing! This dungeon gave off such a generous drop reward?!”
Meng Zhihan was overjoyed.
This dungeon was incredible!
In just a short time after her arrival, she had already gained over 5,000 experience points and a weapon worth 20,000 contribution points!
Moreover, unlike items obtained from ruins or purchased from NPCs, equipment from the exchange store and Lucky Chests, were refined further by Evé, which could also be directly bound to a player immediately without ever needing to visit the temple.
Thus, Meng Zhihan immediately bound the longsword to herself and happily stored it away.
She then planned to delve deeper into the labyrinth.
However, just as Meng Zhihan took a few steps forward, she suddenly heard a fierce wind blowing behind her.
An enemy!
Her instincts flared with alarm.
Meng Zhihan quickly tried to transform again, but alas, the presence behind her moved even faster.
Before she could fully change herself, she felt a massive force slam into her body.
In that instant, Meng Zhihan staggered as a sharp, unsettling crack echoed through her bones.
She collapsed mere seconds later, her vision spinning as a relentless ache began to seep into every part of her body.
Meng Zhihan had reduced her pain sensitivity to ten percent, and even so, she still felt such intense pain, indicating the enemy’s attack was extremely fierce.
And indeed, the attack was quite brutal.
With just one strike, Meng Zhihan saw her health bar plummet almost to zero, leaving her nearly incapacitated and spewing blood and internal organs…
Turning around, Meng Zhihan’s eyes strained through the haze, as the source of such an attack emerged from the shadows.
A towering demon, encased in dark armor and wreathed in flames, loomed before her, its spiked mace dripping with menace and raw immense power.
This larger demon was definitely at the very least Silver-rank!
Just a single ambush strike, and she was immediately gravely wounded and on the brink of death!
“Is there really such a strong monster in this dungeon?”
Meng Zhihan’s mouth opened in disbelief.
Seeing Meng Zhihan fall and unable to stand back on her feet, the demon grinned wickedly and advanced towards her.
Seeing this, Meng Zhihan hurriedly invoked the Goddess’s name:
“Praise life, praise nature, praise the great Goddess Eve!”
As she quickly prayed, a radiant beam of light surged around her, whisking Meng Zhihan away just as the demon’s strike aimed for her once more.
