Roddy had been to "King Solomon's Treasure" dungeon no less than seven times. Although it was only the low-level "Outer City Wall" area, he was already familiar with the missions here. Regardless of whether he received any additional missions, once he stepped into the dungeon, regardless of whether it was the "Outer City Wall" or "Magic Tower", a "Elements and Truth" mission would appear. This was the main mission of this dungeon, the kind that anyone could complete and obtain rewards.
However, the prompt that suddenly appeared in the "Mission Panel" gave him a shock. The words "Elements and Truth" did not appear. Instead, it was replaced by a row of golden words: "Berantulu must die!"
Very few missions had such exclamations as the name, not to mention that the mission in front of him was a "Legendary" mission that surpassed the "Epic" level.
To be able to receive a series of Epic missions like "Judgment of the Throne of Bones" was already the luckiest of the luckiest for Roddy. He was lucky enough to complete the first few steps of the mission. The large amount of rewards it brought had already allowed Roddy's strength to soar, and even laid a strong foundation for his own forces …
What about the "Legendary" level mission?
Before he transmigrated, Roddy had only heard of such things on the official website. He had never heard of any players receiving it.
In other words, everything in front of him had completely exceeded his understanding.
His gaze swept across the few lines of words in the mission panel. His slightly excited heart felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over it.
"Berantulu must die!"
Mission Objective: Kill Demigod Berantulu (Incomplete)
The aura condensed by his will flowed around him, softly narrating Solomon's only wish.
"Gulp."
Roddy swallowed his saliva. Even though his heart had been tempered by countless life and death traps, he still felt his heart throbbing at this moment. "Demigod Berantulu", this was not a f * cking normal target. This was … a demigod!
There were two thresholds in the game. One was level 30, and the other was level 60. Crossing the "barrier" of level 60 meant transcendence and stepping into the "Divine Realm" that was difficult for ordinary people to reach.
However, this did not mean that Level 61 was the so-called "Demigod". In fact, the real "Demigods" were basically existences above Level 80, and they had never participated in the battles of the players in the game. They were only briefly mentioned in some classics and mission descriptions. These existences that surpassed ordinary creatures were extremely powerful, and their greatest characteristic was that they could "immortalize their souls".
In other words, even if the physical body disappeared, a demigod could still continue his will through certain methods and live forever.
His mission objective was to kill a demigod?
Even if Roddy used his knees to think, he knew that even if the Shadow Dragon in front of him was at its peak, it would be nothing in front of a "demigod". There was no hope of resisting at all!
But a few seconds after this thought popped up, Roddy realized that something was wrong. Putting aside the level of a Demigod, the environment he was in was definitely hinting at the difficulty of the current mission.
In theory, it was impossible for a Level 55 dungeon to let the players face a Level 85 enemy.
This was the difference between Roddy and ordinary people. When others saw the question, they would think about how to solve it, but Roddy would first analyze the thought process of the "question maker" when they came up with the question … In other words, although the level of this dungeon was extremely high, it was not as hopeless as the mission description made it out to be.
With this in mind, Roddy looked up at the huge relief wall in front of him.
"No mission prompt, no mission reward, then … where is the way out?"
*****
On the other side, Natha and Akasha who were in the "Magic Tower" dungeon were not as calm as the other two people.
Every step the two took was as thrilling as facing the scythe of the Grim Reaper. Fireballs, ice arrows, lightning, and invisible wind blades flew over their heads and sides, and then exploded behind them.
The wailing of the snow monsters did not stop, and in the end, it was almost like a lingering noise in their ears.
Natha held a short bow in her hand and moved very quickly, but when she saw Akasha staggering, she gritted her teeth and rushed over. She pulled the little priest and tried to dodge. In the roar, no one knew what to do. The two wanted to hide in a corner, but they were pushed back by an invisible wall. After running into walls several times, the only direction they could move forward was the dark magic tower in front of them.
In desperation, the two had no choice but to run towards the magic tower. But after a few steps, they stopped at the same time, their faces pale. The door of the magic tower in front of them suddenly opened, and then all kinds of strange things began to pour out.
All kinds of elemental creatures were only secondary. More terrifying were all kinds of puppets that they had never seen before: puppet knights riding "fire elemental warhorses", heavily armored puppets holding four-meter-long chain hammers and two-meter-long door plates, and puppet hounds that moved so fast that they looked like they were flying on the ground. These guys were obviously not living creatures, but they all had an indescribably strong aura.
In the end, there was even an elemental flame demon that was ten meters tall, holding a giant burning blade, and bursting with magma!
The unquestionable ancient aura with a terrifying heat hit them head-on, and Akasha and Natha were completely in despair.
Divine spells and arrows were obviously useless in front of these guys. Almost in the blink of an eye, the fastest puppet hound had already pounced on them!
"Hum!"
The sound of the Holy Shield being cast rang out. Natha pulled Akasha and wanted to lower their bodies, but the expected sound of the shield hitting did not come. The one-meter-tall hounds swooshed past them, and did not care about them at all.
And the puppets and elemental creatures that followed behind also ignored them, and rushed toward the snow monsters behind them, making the battle even more intense.
"Cough, cough, cough … What, what's going on?"
The two who quickly moved to the side were lucky not to be burned to death by the high temperature of the flame demon. They tried to smooth their hair that was slightly curled because of the high temperature, and looked back at the noisy battlefield, their faces full of confusion and helplessness.
Akasha and Natha's brains were not slow, and they quickly realized that these things should be the "guardians" of the magic tower, and there was probably an unknown reason for them to come out at this time. But compared to these guys' conflict, they were more concerned about their own situation: What should they do to escape from here?
"There's no other way. Let's go forward!"
Natha was proficient in reconnaissance and excellent archery, but in such a situation, she did not have the ability to make decisions. On the contrary, Akasha was the fastest to calm down. Perhaps it was because of Roddy's influence, in such a moment of life and death, she analyzed the current situation at the fastest speed, and then made the only feasible choice at the moment.
"Enter the Mage Tower, we'll close the door, and see if we can lock them outside!"
Akasha still remembered the sturdiness of the Pasha Magic Tower's barrier. No magic tower would be as simple as it looked on the surface. According to her understanding of the High Elves, once the protective barrier of this Mage Tower was activated, it would definitely be as sturdy as the tall city walls of the human cities.
Although this was only a guess, a glimmer of hope was better than sitting around and waiting for death. Now that they had made the decision, without another word, they stepped into the area of the tower, and without hesitation, rushed into the huge black door of the Mage Tower.
After using detection divine spells to confirm that there were no traps around, the two immediately began to close the door from the inside out. Thanks to the floating magic circle carved on the door, the two successfully closed it from the inside out.
Clang!
However, the moment the door was closed, a blue stream of light suddenly rose from the ground, and a large number of dense runes appeared on the tower door. When the light dissipated, there was originally some noise outside completely, leaving only endless silence.
Natha vaguely understood what this meant. When she reached out to pull the door again, Akasha said, "It's useless, this place has been sealed …"
Although her words were calm, Akasha's hands were tightly clenched. Fear, helplessness, hesitation, and a mess of emotions almost made her break down. There were originally only two people left in the team, and they had no idea where the rest were. Now that there was something in the Mage Tower, they were even more clueless. Maybe in the next second, a fire-like creature would appear and directly burn them to death …
Although Akasha and Natha did not say anything when they could not see Roddy, they were unusually flustered inside. However, after going through so much danger, their current calmness was just an instinctive restraint. After taking a breather in the silent tower for a while, the two looked at each other, completely unsure of what to do next.
But out of instinct, Natha still carefully observed the internal structure of the Magic Tower. The spiraling tower was clear, and the rooms were scattered in her field of vision. However, there was no sign that explained the room's function like in the Pasha Magic Tower. Instead, there were some messy and random carvings on the walls and some pillars. At a glance, it even looked like someone was venting their anger out of boredom, without any of the strictness and cleanliness that a Magic Tower should have.
And in the center of the first floor of the Magic Tower, there was a round hole five feet in diameter. The round hole was octagonal, and the edges were decorated with indecipherable magic patterns. Natha did not understand the High Elves' language and magic, so she was confused. Akasha, on the other hand, had done some research on the High Elves' civilization. At this time, she directly walked towards the hole.
"Akasha!"
Natha was unusually cautious and hurriedly called out to warn her. But then she found that Akasha suddenly froze in the round hole. This scene shocked her, and she quickly rushed to Akasha's side. But when she looked down, she also froze on the spot.
Under the round hole, a huge crystal that had been dug out was emitting a gentle light.
This magic tower itself was more than seventy to eighty meters tall, but the depth of the vein below was at least two hundred meters. As far as the eye could see, the end of the crystal mine could not be seen. The countless glowing crystals were accompanied by the black rock layers, like a giant snake crawling on the ground.
"Ice crystal … Ice crystal ore?"
After a full ten seconds, Akasha suddenly remembered this term that she had seen in the High Elves' books.
"What is that?"
Natha, who usually did not speak much, asked. She was not as knowledgeable as Akasha and did not understand the meaning behind this term at all.
