Chapter 769 - Levels Rising Rapidly
In the Stoneclaw Mountains:
A long-abandoned city rested in a circle of mountains. Tens of thousands of corpses belonging to both players and Half-orcs surrounded and littered this city.
Several hundred players stood at the city’s entrance. They were all out of breath and covered in fresh blood.
“Flame Blood, revive the healers first. We’ll continue after some rest,” a man wearing deep-blue chainmail and carrying a longbow on his back commanded.
Flame Blood, whose white robes had long since been stained red with blood, immediately began reviving the fallen healers.
“Guild Leader, the respawn rate is simply too fast. We’ve only managed to clear out these Half-orcs after so much trouble. If we don’t hurry and enter now, entering the city will become far more difficult,” Daybreak Fog said anxiously, a tired expression on her face.
To enter this ruined city, Heaven’s Burial had dispatched all of their elites, over 20,000 players.
Only after several hours of fighting had they eliminated the Half-orcs surrounding the ancient city. Overall, they had sacrificed over 20,000 elite players to deal with the tens of thousands of Elite Half-orcs, a Great Lord ranked Half-orc, and five High Lord ranked Half-orcs. If they did not venture into the city now, all the regret in the world would not help them when the monsters respawned.
“It doesn’t matter. Even if they respawn, that Level 45 Great Lord won’t be a problem. At most, we’ll have to deal with those High Lords again. If we want to complete this quest, we need to stabilize the situation outside the city. Otherwise, we’ll die,” Singular Burial, who was the man in the deep-blue chainmail, responded calmly. “We’ve been here for several days already. Now that success is in sight, it is important that we do not rush. As long as we complete this quest, Heaven’s Burial will become Star-Moon City’s overlord. Both Ouroboros and the Star Alliance will have no choice but to submit.”
Currently, players throughout the Star-Moon Kingdom and surrounding countries drooled over the Stoneclaw Mountains. These Guilds watched Stone Forest Town, which was under Zero Wing’s control, enviously.
However, nobody knew that…
The person responsible for activating the Stoneclaw Mountains was Heaven’s Burial’s Guild Leader, Singular Burial.
“But now that Zero Wing has stabilized its position in Stone Forest Town, it is only a matter of time before the Stoneclaw Mountains become their backyard. Will this quest really help Heaven’s Burial become Star-Moon City’s overlord?” Lightning Blade questioned doubtfully.
Singular Burial had been keeping a tight lid on the quest’s information. Nobody else knew what the quest would award.
Based on Lightning Blade’s understanding of God’s Domain, there shouldn’t be a quest that could allow a Guild to dominate over a city.
“Zero Wing’s backyard?” Singular Burial sneered. “It’s just the Stoneclaw Mountains. So what if we give it to Zero Wing?
“Since this quest is almost complete, I’ll explain. Do any of you know why there are so many Magic Crystals in the Stoneclaw Mountains? Although other countries have their own Regional Dungeons that provide Magic Crystals, none of them are as saturated as the Stoneclaw Mountains.
“This ancient city is the reason. This city contains a treasure that is capable of condensing Mana naturally. Hence, the Stoneclaw Mountains’ monsters have a much higher chance to drop Magic Crystals.
