"It's a jackpot!"
"Our karma must be too good!"
"I wonder what we'll get?"
"This is the Hell Mode of the Demon's Castle. A jackpot should give us at least a Dark-Gold Weapon, right?"
Justin Freed's death allowed everyone to breathe a sigh of relief. However, when they saw the pile of items on the ground, everyone knew that their luck had come. Just a brief glance told them that Justin Freed had dropped more than ten items. It was an obvious sign that this was one of those rare karmic jackpots.
"Alright, don't get too excited right now. Rest and recover for now." Shi Feng simply smiled when he looked at his teammates' excitement. However, he knew that the jackpot this time around was no coincidence.
Others might not know this, but the Demon's Castle was actually the hardest Dungeon out of all the Level 15, 20-man Team Dungeons, although everyone believed that it was simply a 20-man Dungeon with above average difficulty. In the past, countless Guilds had suffered team-wipe after team-wipe in order to raid the Demon's Castle. According to Shi Feng's understanding, the Bosses of every Hell Mode Team Dungeon that possessed the highest difficulty out of all Hell Mode Team Dungeons of the same level would always yield a jackpot when it was being raided for the first time. This was a reward by the system for pioneering the Team Dungeon with the highest difficulty.

While Shi Feng was counting up the loot from Justin Freed, a group of players revived at the entrance of the Demon's Castle.
"Boss, that Justin Freed's Defense and Attack are simply too high. Compared to a Level 10 Dungeon, the Demon's Castle is far more difficult. Moreover, this is only the Normal Mode Dungeon. Even a powerful MT like yourself could not survive three hits from the first Boss. I don't think there's any way we can raid this Dungeon right now," a Druid said.
"It seems that two MTs are required for this Boss, to share the damage. We can just let a Ranger kite the three summoned monsters." After experiencing a battle with Justin Freed, War Wolf fully realized just how powerful the Boss was. Every time Justin Freed attacked, War Wolf would be forced into a corner and prevented from dodging; he had no choice but to take the full brunt of the Boss's attack.
If he only had to endure Justin Freed's basic attacks, War Wolf was confident he could make do with the heals he received. However, one of Justin Freed's minor skills, Thousand Sweep, dealt at least -1,000 damage to all targets within an 8-yard radius. Meanwhile, the activation time for this skill was practically instantaneous, so War Wolf had no chance at dodging it. When War Wolf ate this minor skill in addition to a basic attack, he would instantly lose at least 2,000 HP. Only with all four healers in the team focusing their heals on him could they barely manage to get his HP back up to a safe level before Justin Freed's next attack connected. However, shortly after, the Boss summoned three Demon Guards.
Once the healers spread their focus to the other members of the team, War Wolf was promptly slain by Justin Freed.
The end result? A team-wipe.

As War Wolf's team was about to enter the Demon's Castle for the second time, Shi Feng had already started distributing the loot.
The jackpot this time had yielded 11 weapons and equipment in total. There were also quite a number of Magic Crystals and precious materials.
Among the weapons and equipment dropped were three Secret-Silver Equipment: leg guards for Rangers, a hat for Druids, and shoulder guards for Summoners.
