As the system announcement for Cold Wind City's region rang out once more, Hekati's members, who had been celebrating the Snow Ruin's First Clear, froze in place.
"Did I hear it wrong? Hero Mode's First Clear? "
"It must've been a mistake. How are they supposed to obtain the First Clear of the Hero Mode?"
"That's right. The Asura Adventurers couldn't even defeat the third floor's Boss. How are they supposed to defeat the Hero Mode's Final Boss?"
…
Hekati's members stared at the system announcement, unable to believe their eyes.
The Hero Mode Snow Ruin was much more difficult than the Normal Mode Snow Ruin. If they did not accumulate enough equipment in the Normal Mode Snow Ruin, they would not be able to challenge the Hero Mode.
Yet, the Asura Adventurers could not even clear the Normal Mode Snow Ruin. How were they supposed to clear the Hero Mode?
"Hero Mode?" Carnage's expression turned indescribably grim.
He had never thought that the Asura Adventurers would challenge the Hero Mode. Moreover, clearing the Hero Mode was secondary. The most important thing was the 500 Contribution Points required to obtain Cold Wind City's Contribution Points.
Currently, the minimum requirement to take control of Cold Wind City was 500 Contribution Points. In other words, the Asura Adventurers had already taken control of Cold Wind City and become the city's ruler. For the next month, the Asura Adventurers would gain control of a portion of Cold Wind City. One month later, the highest Contribution Points would be reinstated to take control of Cold Wind City.
However, during the one month that the city's ruler controlled, the city's ruler would gain many benefits. If one wished to surpass the city's ruler in terms of Contribution Points, they would have to work several times harder …
While Hekati's members were shocked by the news that the Asura Adventurers had cleared the Hero Mode Snow Ruin, the players in Cold Wind City's region were in an uproar.
"Asura's Might!"
"Amazing! Just how strong is Asura's main force to be able to obtain the First Clear of Hero Mode? "
"Hecate is really pitiful this time. It hasn't been long since it obtained the Snow Ruin's First Clear, yet the Asura adventurer team has already stolen its spotlight."
"However, we independent players are going to have a great time. The Adventurer Alliance belongs to the Asura adventurer team. The Adventurer Alliance's development will definitely improve. At that time, we might even get to exchange for Level 50 Dark-Gold Equipment."
…
The news of the Asura Adventurers obtaining the First Clear of the Hero Mode Snow Ruin excited Cold Wind City's independent players. Many of them wished they could join the Asura Adventurers. Meanwhile, to Cold Wind City's various large Guilds, this was the beginning of a nightmare.
If Hekati had taken control of Cold Wind City, the Asura Adventurers' Adventurer Alliance would've suffered a significant setback. Many independent players would've realized just how powerful Guilds were, but now that the Asura Adventurers had taken control of Cold Wind City, more players in the city would join the Adventurer Alliance. At that time, the various Guilds in Cold Wind City would have even less space to live in the city.
Sky Slicer from the Centurion Dynasty was also dumbfounded.
He had no idea how the Asura Adventurers did it.
That was the Heroic Mode of Snow Ruin! Even Hekati, who had more Tier 2 players, did not dare challenge it, yet the Asura Adventurers, who only had 13 Tier 2 players, had cleared it. No matter how he looked at it, the system was playing a joke on him.
Originally, he had hoped to reap the benefits of the Asura Adventurer Alliance's victory. Now, however, he wouldn't even get a share of the leftovers.
While the outside world was in an uproar over this system announcement, Shifeng quietly sorted through the Skeleton King's loot on the fifth underground floor of the Hero Mode Snow Ruin. As for the others, they lay on the ground, panting heavily. Every one of them was exhausted.
The Skeleton King was a bona fide Level 65 Mythic monster. If not for Solitary Nine and Dark Madness activating their Tier 3 Mana Weapons' power and using their Berserk Skills to block the Skeleton King's attacks, the team would've long since died.
As for the Hellfire the Skeleton King used, it was a large-scale destruction Spell. Shifeng had to rely on their Absolute Domain to block the Spell.
By the end of the battle, the 100-man team had dwindled to less than 40 players. Even Solitary Nine and Dark Madness had died to the Skeleton King's flaming blades. The rear line's healers hadn't been able to keep up with their HP. In the end, they had relied on Shi Feng's Berserk Skill to survive until the very end.
While the Skeleton King was dead, it also gave the team a pleasant surprise. The Skeleton King's EXP bar had increased by a large chunk. It was the equivalent of an entire day's worth of EXP. Afterward, the Skeleton King dropped a small mountain of items. Shifeng had spent a lot of time collecting the loot.
In total, the Skeleton King had dropped over 200 items. Among them, over 180 were rare materials, Mana Stones, and Magic Crystals. As many as five Mana Stones had dropped. As for the rare materials, many of them were main materials for forging Level 50-plus Dark-Gold Weapons and Equipment. Every one of them was worth a fortune.
Of the remaining items, eight were weapons and equipment. Moreover, one of them was the Epic ranked greatsword, Burning Blade. It was none other than the Skeleton King's greatsword. A Berserker would definitely look cool with it. As for the remaining seven items, they were all Level 50 Dark-Gold Weapons and Equipment and Level 55 Fine-Gold Weapons and Equipment.
In the Ice Crystal World, monsters rarely dropped weapons and equipment. Even Fine-Gold items were extremely rare, much less Dark-Gold Weapons and Epic Weapons. Epic Weapons were legends in Cold Wind City.
The Shifeng had no intention of distributing the loot to specific players. Instead, they planned to place the loot on the Asura Adventurers' exchange list for Asura Adventurers' members. Everyone in the Asura Adventurers should work toward this goal. Meanwhile, for this team operation, the Shifeng had also given everyone a corresponding amount of Adventurer Points, which they could use to exchange for the items they wanted.
As for the remaining dozen or so items, aside from the three Master Potions, two Tier 3 Magic Scrolls, one Level 50 Dark-Gold ranked cloth robe Forging Design, and one Level 50 Fine-Gold ranked plate gauntlets Forging Design, there was also an item that surprised even the Shifeng.
It was the Hell Chariot Blueprint!
When the Shifeng picked up this ancient book, which was twice as old as a dictionary, and saw the words "Hell Tank Design" written on the cover, the Shifeng thought he was hallucinating.
A tank!
This was a weapon for large-scale battles. It possessed frightening destructive power. At the same time, it had the ability to transport a large number of players over long distances. It was an advanced item for ambushes and field battles. Moreover, it had excellent defensive and siege capabilities.
Compared to a tank, the Miniature Ballista was practically trash.
The Miniature Ballista's movement and loading speed were extremely slow. It also had no Defense and could be destroyed easily. However, a tank was different. It was extremely fast. At the same time, it also possessed powerful Defense. It could protect the players aboard from harm. It was like a warship at sea.
The Shifeng had never imagined that the Snow Ruin's Final Boss would drop such an item.
In terms of value, the Skeleton King's other loot was likely worth less than a quarter or even a fifth of the Hell Tank Design.
