All players had a bittersweet relationship with the four great dungeons. They hated it for the war that broke out due to both servers contesting for the new resources, but they loved it because of the explosive levelling speed.
Dungeons were the greatest source of experience. Dungeons monsters gave more experience than wild ones, and players didnt have to fear poachers because every dungeon was an individual instance. Plenty of monsters spawned in close packs as well, saving players travel ti. Apart from item drops and gold, clearing a dungeon also ca with an experience reward.
From the intel Drako Yau gathered, the top players of the Western server were already around Level 47 to Level 48, while the current level cap was set at Level 50. Even so, he wasnt worried. While the level difference existed, the East also had sothing the West lackedDivine Tea!
As ti passed, the players who had qualified for the Tea Party of Swords felt the Divine Teas effects. The two levels worth of attribute points were undoubtedly useful, but the secondary effect of increasing their comprehension capability was the real deal. It was a vague and mysterious change; they felt they could use their skills with better proficiency, but it wasnt rely a ntal illusion because everyone who had drunk the tea reported the sa effect.
While the Western server still had the overall advantage, the disparity in strength between the top elites on both servers was minimal.
Drako Yau chuckled upon reading the endless ssages his companions sent him. Naturally, he was well aware of yesterdays announcents. Zeusthat was his archrival.
Chau Yu This guy never admits defeat, does he? Its about ti.
Strider, call in our squad. Well take on Hell difficulty today.
Their squad consisted of their usual mbers: Drako Yau, Idyllic Poet, Danting, Greenstone, and Windstrider.
Drako Yau chose these four for specific reasons. Greenstone was an irreplaceable core mber that needed no further explanation. Danting had excellent mobility and could deal lots of damage, making him an ideal scout. His teleportation array also made him a great supporting player who could instantly help out anywhere.
Windstrider, while lacking long-range attacks due to dual-wielding, had remarkable control skills. Dual-Wielding Rifle Mastery and Dual Magazine boosted his cast speed significantly; as long as he was within range, he could use all sorts of ranger skills to command the scene.
Idyllic Poet was the perfect fit to compensate for Windstriders reduced range. With her Phoenix Ring, she was among the top ten players with the highest damage potential in the ga. Mages were ant to deal damage, given that they had the room to cast their spells, after all.
Lastly, Drako Yau was the best tank they had. The five of them together ford the perfect squad. They could switch out for others who were more suited for a particular situation, but the current squad was the most versatile combination.
Rumours were spreading that Mask wasnt challenging the Hell difficulty dungeons because he was terrified by the insane difficulty. However, even Drako Yaus companions were oblivious to his solo ventures into the dungeon.
Taking on a Hell difficulty dungeon alonewho would believe that? Everyone would rely snicker at the ridiculously bold statent even if the one who said it was Mask, alliance master of Dragon Alliance.
Everyone went silent once they entered the dungeon. Last ti, they had been discovered the mont they stepped out of the woods. Other players had similar experiences; consensus was that squads attempting to clear the Beastn Territory dungeon had to stay undiscovered.
The dungeon would only beco more difficult once the beastn noticed intruders. However, Hell difficulty was originally extrely challenging. No one knew what would happen if the difficulty went up another notch.
Wait for here, Drako Yau said and closed his eyes without moving a step.
The other four glanced at one another. They stayed silent and watched him. After a good while, Drako Yau suddenly stepped out of the woods, surprising them. Still, they quickly cald down. They could always reset the dungeon anyways.
What surprised them more was that the system notification didnt appear this ti. They watched Drako Yau take a few corners before disappearing into the encampnt.
Danting, the most impatient of them all, felt worried and wanted to chase after Drako Yau, but Greenstone stopped him.
Windstrider instantly said, Boss told us to wait here. He must have sothing on his mind. If you follow him, you might ss up his plan.
Oh Danting dragged his voice, suppressing the impulse to charge out. He kept peeking at where Drako Yau disappeared though.
They all knew Drako Yaus identity as a Maverick. Once they understood he only had one life in the ga, they tacitly agreed to keep him alive at all costs. This was why Greenstone gave up on protecting Oda Nobunaga to rescue him back in the encounter quest. Windstrider never rushed the enemy because he had to stay in range of him to provide supporting fire. Danting was also prudent when it ca to using his teleportation skill, as he had to teleport to him during ergencies. Idyllic Poet took it even further; shed always follow him around, reserving her Fire Shield for him even when she was in danger.
They were all his secret guardians.
A wait without an end in sight was torturous. After who knew how long, the four heard the systems voice out of the blue.
Successfully passed through the Beastn Territory. Now entering the Beastn Secret Lands. Teleportation comncing in ten, nine, eight
Once the ten-second countdown was over, the four vanished from the bush they were hiding in. They were in a cave by the ti their vision recovered. A red cloak was awaiting them calmly.
Boss, what happened?
Nothing, I just passed through the encampnt. Here cos the real challenge, said Drako Yau with a stern face.
He had penetrated the beastn encampnt multiple tis before, but hed end his expedition every ti he reached this cave. A vague sense of danger always halted him.
The old geezer had once told him that all cultivators had a sixth sense. Simply put, theyd sense impending dangers like a rat facing a cat.
