Free Web NovelChapter 87: Chapter87-Serenity Guild
"Guild Leader, we’ve already investigated it. That newly opened Beast God Dungeon only contains a group of B-rank beastfolk wild monsters.
"In my opinion, that person merely relied on luck."
A man dressed in assassin attire knelt on one knee and reported to the burly man seated in the main seat.
"Oh?"
The burly man slowly turned around, revealing a dignified face.
If any outsider were here, they would definitely be unable to stop themselves from crying out in shock.
Because this person was none other than Ben, the guild leader of Serenity Guild, one of the top ten guilds in the world!
Ben had controlled Serenity Guild for many years and had a resounding reputation throughout the gaming circle.
"Luck?"
Ben’s voice was low and calm, yet carried an unquestionable sense of scrutiny.
"A person who has triggered three world announcements one after another, and you’re telling me he relied on luck?"
The assassin’s body stiffened, and he lowered his head without speaking.
Ben did not continue pursuing the matter. He merely raised his hand and lightly tapped the tabletop twice.
Tap. Tap.
The crisp knocking sound was especially clear inside the silent meeting room.
The next second, a slender figure silently dropped down from the beam above like a weightless feather.
It was a woman with an impressive figure. Her black, tight-fitting ninja outfit outlined her smooth curves. A mask covered most of her face, leaving only a pair of cold and sharp eyes exposed.
"Assassin Three."
Ben did not turn around. His tone was flat.
"Take Assassin Five and Assassin Six with you. Go to Axis City."
"Find Outlander and bring him back. I want him alive."
Assassin Three nodded slightly. Without any unnecessary words, she simply replied with one word.
"Yes."
"One month." Ben added another sentence. Only then did his gaze slowly fall on Assassin Three. "I do not accept failure."
Assassin Three’s body paused slightly, then she nodded again.
The next moment, her figure dispersed into the air like mist.
...
At the same time, deep within the Space Sever Mountain Range.
More than half a day had already passed since John entered the Beast God Dungeon, yet LoranBlade was still traveling through this endless mountain range.
After John sent her out of the canyon, she had originally planned to return directly to the main city.
But halfway through, she kept feeling unwilling.
It was rare for her to come to the Space Sever Mountain Range. If she returned empty-handed like this, it would be far too wasteful.
So she changed direction and continued deeper along the mountain ridge.
This walk lasted several hours.
Along the way, she killed quite a few lone wild beasts and low-level stone giants. Her experience did increase somewhat, but she still did not encounter any opportunity worth mentioning.
Until she followed the faint sound of flowing water and circled beneath a cliff.
Suddenly, the view before her opened up.
A deep emerald pool was hidden between the mountain hollows. Vines hung down all around it, and misty water vapor filled the air. It was so quiet that it seemed isolated from the world.
At the very center of the pool, a grayish-blue stone platform slightly protruded above the water.
On top of the stone platform, a chest roughly half a person tall lay quietly.
The entire chest was dark gold, and its surface was covered in fine sword-mark patterns. A faint cyan glow could be seen within it.
LoranBlade’s heart skipped a beat.
Almost without any hesitation, she leapt forward. Her toes lightly tapped the surface of the water twice before she landed steadily on the stone platform.
She crouched down.
The instant she reached out and touched the chest, a warm trembling sensation came from her fingertips.
A system notification rang in her mind.
[You have discovered a Fate Chest! Do you wish to open it?]
LoranBlade took a deep breath and chose to open it.
Buzz—
The chest opened in response.
Two beams of light shot into the sky at the same time. One was silvery-white like a sword’s edge, while the other was dark purple like a galaxy. They intertwined with each other and surged into her forehead.
A massive amount of information flooded into her mind like a tide.
[Congratulations. You have obtained a God-rank Class Change Book: Blade God! Do you wish to use it immediately?]
[Congratulations. You have obtained a God-rank Talent Upgrade Stone! Your current talent "Genius of Blade" (SSS-rank) can be upgraded to "God of Blade" (God-rank). Do you wish to use it immediately?]
LoranBlade froze completely.
She stared blankly at the two floating light screens before her and did not react for a full three breaths.
God-rank...
Class? freewebnøvel.coɱ
And a God-rank talent?
She had never imagined that one day, such an opportunity would fall into her hands.
And there were two of them at once.
LoranBlade’s lips trembled slightly.
Then, without the slightest hesitation, she chose to use both at the same time.
The two beams of light erupted once again, completely enveloping her body.
At that moment, she felt as though the blood throughout her body had been ignited. Scorching power surged from every part of her body, washing over every inch of her flesh, bones, and tendons.
After the light faded, LoranBlade slowly opened her eyes.
She lowered her head and looked at her hands.
A faint sword-shaped mark appeared in her palms, then quickly disappeared again.
Meanwhile, the numbers on her panel had already undergone earth-shattering changes.
All attributes increased tenfold. Sword-type damage increased by 400%. Critical rate increased by an additional 70%!
LoranBlade clenched her fists, and an indescribable excitement surged in her heart.
She subconsciously wanted to contact John and tell him this earth-shaking good news.
But just as her finger touched the communication interface, a world announcement suddenly rang out.
[World Announcement: Congratulations to player "Outlander" from Starter Village No. 616 for becoming the first player to clear a dungeon...]
[World Announcement...]
[World Announcement...]
It rang three times in a row, echoing beside the ears of every online player.
LoranBlade’s finger froze in midair, and the smile on her face gradually stiffened bit by bit.
She silently listened as the announcement echoed in her mind for a long time.
Cleared a dungeon...
Obtained control authority...
She had only just obtained an opportunity enough to change her destiny and was still so excited that she did not know what to do.
Yet that person had already silently taken down an entire dungeon.
LoranBlade lowered her head and looked at the sword-shaped mark in her palm.
Then she raised her head and looked toward the distant sky, suddenly letting out a soft laugh.
She deleted the message she had originally prepared, word by word, and typed a new sentence.
"Congratulations."
Just three simple words, without any extra emotion.
But after sending it, she felt that it was too perfunctory, so she added another sentence.
"Isn’t this a bit too exaggerated? You took down an entire dungeon by yourself?"
John’s reply came very quickly.
"Small matter. Where are you now? Have you returned to the main city?"
LoranBlade froze for a moment.
"Not yet. I’m still farming monsters in the Space Sever Mountain Range. Why?"
"That old diviner. Did you go look for him?" John asked. "I’m quite interested in him."
LoranBlade shook her head, then realized the other party could not see it and replied, "No, I haven’t gone back yet. The Space Sever Mountain Range is too far from the main city. It wasn’t easy to come here, so it would be too much of a loss if I didn’t farm more monsters."
John had only asked casually at first.
But when he heard that LoranBlade was still in the Space Sever Mountain Range, his heart suddenly stirred.
In his previous life, he had vaguely heard that LoranBlade had once obtained a great opportunity during the early stage.
John had once thought that the Floating Sword gifted by that old diviner had triggered her path of growth.
But judging from things now, that did not seem to be the case.
That Floating Sword was certainly extraordinary.
But the true key point of LoranBlade’s transformation in his previous life seemed to have happened right around the time she entered the Space Sever Mountain Range.
