Virtual World: Conquering the World

Chapter 111: Whirlwind Slash

I looked at Flying Fire with a smile, "Brother, since you've decided to join our Xue Yue, then I'll give an introduction first!  I am one of the seven members of Xue Yue, Bookworm, who is also a staff hired by Gentle Breeze Embracing the Moon and Gentle Breeze Flying Snow.  Right now I am a player that is hunting down gold coins and equipment.

Flying Fire revealed a faint smile and awkwardly said, "I..My level isn't low and my equipment is good, it's a set of Silver Equipment.  I haven't joined a guild yet and wanted to avoid PK while leveling, but we couldn't stay in the Beginner Village anymore, so I decided to bring my brothers out to Sunset City.  To be honest, we can be considered "experts of three withouts" as we're without equipment, skills, and money.  I'm quite happy and open, but I'm not considered good and a natural coward.  I can't even fight after being PKed out in the wild, I belong to the harmless type in Spirit of Grief and Moon Monochrome."

I laughed, "Honest enough!  Then, welcome to Xue Yue.  I represent the leaders of Xue Yue to welcome you!  When we get a Guild Establishment Token or buy one, just bring your Flying Fire Link City brothers to join!"

After saying this, I sent a friend request.

Flying Fire was overwhelmed as he accepted this friend request and quickly turned to give introductions, "These are my brothers, they're friends who have been through many gaves with me!"

I nodded and said with a smile, "Hello everyone!  In the battle against Bloodthirsty, I have to thank everyone for their help!"

Everyone nodded, "Boss Bookworm is too polite!"

I was surprised, as my status had been unknowingly raised.

Flying Fire gave a low laugh, "Boss Bookworm, tell the brothers, are Gentle Breeze Embracing the Moon and Gentle Breeze Flying Snow really twins?"

I said with a faint smile, "Why?"

Flying Fire laughed, "it's nothing, just wanted to ask.  They are called the Chinese Server's number one beauties, if our Flying Fire Link City can work for them, our face will be glowing!"

I immediately understood, "He, he, this, naturally you'll find out in the future.."

After this was over, I turned to look at the path, "Since everyone is here to finish the Tomb of Fear quest, then let's do it together.  It's getting late and we should sleep early, but..It seems like it'll take a while to take care of this red name"

Flying Fire also had a red name, but he laughed without caring, "It's fine.  Boss, you could fall to level zero and still come back, we can't draw back, otherwise wouldn't we bring shame to Xue Yue's name in Sunset City?"

I smiled, "Does Xue Yue have this much fame in Sunset City?"

Flying Fire said with a smile, "Naturally, not mentioning Sunset City, even in the eight secondary cities of the Chinese Server, Xue Yue's fame has reached the sky.  With the number one beauty mage and the number one beauty swordswoman, as well as the mysterious expert Easily Angered Bookworm, while also having the famous Sword Flame join them, Xue Yue's name has spread across the world.  In Sunset City, there is only Xue Yue who can contain Fated and Bloodthirsty, which is why us brothers really want to join Xue Yue!"

I was stunned, I never thought that Xue Yue's fame had soared.  But it was no wonder that Ling Yue and Ling Xue who were the flags of Xue Yue had their screenshots shared on the forum.  These two beauties that made people suffocate had great advertising effect, the influence beauties had really was terrifying!

So I created a party and brought Flying Fire Link City's seven people into the party before entering the Tomb of Fear.  Flying Fire said to the level 37 cleric, "Follow along and pay attention to healing boss Bookworm, don't let him die!"

Like this, the difficulty in completing the quest was reduced by a bit.

We passed by the corpses of the corpse eating ghosts which stunned the players from Flying Fire Link City.  After all, these ghosts were over level fifty, it was a level the Flying Fire Link City players couldn't see at all.  A level 38 player like me had come here alone, this was already enough to make others surprised.

With Flying Fire, we cut down the remaining corpse eating ghosts and finally came to the final inscription.  After everyone looked at it, there was a sound from the wall in front of us as a blue light screen gradually appeared on the ice cold black wall, spreading light all around.

The berserkers who took the lead were stunned.  I revealed a faint smile and walked in, with light appearing in front of me.  I appeared in a small and narrow space and there was a white figure congealing in front of me.

With a sound, the people from Flying Fire Link City came in.  Seeing the white figure, Flying Fire said in a surprised voice, "This is the boss we have to kill?"

As soon as his voice fell, the figure had taken form, which was a mage with a white robe and a staff.  What made people surprised was that the face of the white robed mage had withered, only when the black and white eyes turned did people realize that it was a living being.

[Evil Light Mage Ruman] (Silver Grade Boss)

Level: 55

Magic Attack: 420-550

Defense: 120

HP: 150000

Additional: Once a light mage, in order to pursue power, he degenerated his soul in hopes that he could use his conscience to exchange for powerful dark abilities.

Additional skill: Light Sacred Judgement, Dark Discipline.

...

I immediately sent the stats into the party chat and Flying Fire's group took a cold breath.  They had never met a boss of this level before, but I was looking confident.  Even the Dark Gold Ancient Ghost General had fallen at my hands, this Silver Boss was considered nothing.

So I gave an order, "This mage only has one hundred and fifty thousand HP, so the close combat players will surround it while the cleric will heal!"

The close combat players charged forward, raising their swords and axes to cut down the HP of the boss!

But this Silver Mage Boss wouldn't just sit there.  He raised his staff and chanted an obscure chant as several black beams of light rained down, covering three swordsmen who charged forward!

Combat notification: Please note, the Evil Light Mage Ruman has used the skill Dark Discipline!

...

"Pu, pu, pu!"

With three sounds, there were damage figures that appeared above their heads: "1569!"  "1784!"  "2403!"

The level 35 swordsman on the right couldn't take the 2403 points of damage and turned into white light as he returned to the city.  It was a good thing he didn't have a red name or he would have lost more levels.

Flying Fire was stunned, "Damn!  This boss is actually this strong!"

I revealed a faint smile and used a Sweeping Away Thousand Soldiers with my Bloodthirsty Spear!  At times like this, normal attacks were more powerful!

With two "peng, peng" sounds, the Sweeping Away Thousand Soldiers did over two thousand damage.  Then with an Ice Wind Thorn, the ice energy formed a giant ice cone.  The blue light surprised the surrounding players as they all revealed looks of yearning.

"Hong!"

"1804!"

The Ice Wind Thorn not only looked good, its attacks also made everyone's eyes open wide.

Flying Fire asked, "Boss, where did this move come from?"

I swung the spear at the boss' staff and said with a smile, "It's a skill like that of the swordsman, a physical attack skill, can't you tell?"

Flying Fire was shocked, "Aren't you an archer?  When did you become a close range combat player?"

I laughed and opened my status, revealing the green "Beginner Dragon Whisperer" in green under my name,

"Ah!  It's a Hidden Job!"

Flying Fire and the surrounding players had their chins drop before he muttered, "It's no wonder you're this strong!  Boss Bookworm, if our brothers follow you, they definitely will get good things!"

I laughed, "It isn't following me, it's following Gentle Breeze Embracing the Moon and Gentle Breeze Flying Snow, they are the owners of Xue Yue.  I am just a general under them and following them, everyone will get good things, ha, ha!"

Flying Fire's group revealed happy looks.

At this time, the boss threw out a fireball and brandished its staff again, releasing a holy glow this time that suddenly spread all around!

I felt pain as my HP dropped by close to 1000!

Combat notification: Evil Light Mage Ruman has used the skill Light Sacred Judgement, it has dealt 984 points of damage to you!

...

"Shua, shua!"

With two beams of white light, the mage and the cleric behind us had been instantly killed.  The berserkers and swordsman all looked bad as their HP had fallen by more than half, so they quickly swallowed health pots.

I commanded with a smile, "You guys go back and heal up, I'll fight it for now!"

The four close combat players retreated, only Flying Fire followed me to continue attacking while drinking potions.  It was a good thing this magic boss didn't have too much HP, so it had fallen by half after our group wildly attacked it!

I looked up and said, "There should be a cooldown between each Light Sacred Judgement.  If we can grasp this, there's no need for anyone else to die."

Flying Fire nodded, "Un!"

In less than two minutes, the four close combat players left again and I had consumed most of the health potions I had.  This boss' high 550 magic attack wasn't a joke and it took out close to a thousand HP from me each time.  It was a good thing that Sweeping Away Thousand Soldiers had a 50% chance of disrupting the target's spells, so with me and Flying Fire attacking in waves, it didn't have many chances to attack.

After a few minutes, there was another Dark Discipline and there was another white light as a weakened swordsman was killed!

At the same time, the Bloodthirsty Spear in my hand released a red glow and I used another Sweeping Away Thousand Soldiers.  The boss with a sliver of health gave a wail and slowly fell down!

But it didn't die.  It released a strange red glow after falling and disappeared into the air!

"Ding~!"

System notification: Congratulations, your party has defeated the Silver Boss Evil Light Mage Ruman.  You have obtained 75000 experience and 250 Prestige!

...

There was a sparkling helmet and there were five staffs on the side, one for each person in our team.

But the players of Flying Fire Link City didn't go up.  Flying Fire said with a smile, "Boss, go and see what it is!"

I nodded with a smile and picked up the helmet and staff.  Putting the staff aside for the quest, I threw the helmet over to Flying Fire as I said with a smile, "You can split this, I just want to complete the quest!"

I didn't even look at the stats of the helmet as I threw it to Flying Fire.  This would show the generosity of one of Xue Yue's core players and on the other hand, it was a Silver Boss, so it could only drop a Silver Helmet.  Actually I didn't care at all since it wasn't a set.  If I were to change the Bronze Set that I was wearing and lost the effect, it wouldn't be worth it.

Flying Fire was touched.  He looked at the Silver Helmet in his hand and excitedly said, "Boss Bookworm, you can also use this helmet"

I said with a smile, "No need, you keep it.  I'm going to turn in the quest and get rid of my red name, you and your brothers should sleep early!"

Flying Fire gave a strong nod, "Thanks boss!"

I turned and felt a bit embarrassed.  Using a Silver Helmet to buy their hearts, this was a bit too cheap.

I came to the main hall where the injured soldier was lying and when I handed over the quest staff, he said in a very happy voice, "Brave warrior, you have defeated that evil mage, this is great!  This is your reward!"

(Author's note: Leaf is already numb to quest reward notifications, everyone should be numb by looking at them!)

"Ding~!"

System notification: You have completed the quest [Tomb of Fear Plot].  You have obtained 300000 experience, 200 gold coins, 500 Prestige, and the reward [Whirlwind Slash]!

...

Whirlwind Slash!

I happily looked to find the skill book in my inventory.

[Whirlwind Slash]: Uses violent wind energy to create a strong attack, dealing 120% - 180% damage to a single target and 50% - 80% damage to the hostile units around the main target.

Required Job: ????

Required Level: 35.

...

Although the Whirlwind Slash didn't show which Job was required, I could see the words "can learn" on it, so I immediately chose to use it and this skill appeared on my skill panel.

[Whirlwind Slash] (Beginner): Experience 0/10000.  Cost 20 MP.

...

I was filled with joy, I had another active skill and I had become stronger again!

Exiting the Tomb of Fear, I chose a Skeleton Demon and came forward to use the Whirlwind Slash.  My spear turned created several gusts of wind with a white glow that hit the chest of the Skeleton Demon!

"1782!"

This high damage figure stunned me.  Then with another Sweeping Away Thousand Soldiers and an Ice Wind Thorn, with these three hits, the Skeleton Demon's HP emptied and I gained experience after this series of attacks!
