Chapter 126: Chilly Spirit Ring

Although the Sword Wraith had become an easy target since it had stopped moving, Adam did not strike it down but waited.

A few seconds later, it raised its head and asked "What swordplay is this?" Adam unhurriedly replied "Eternal Rest." The Sword Wraith nodded slowly and said "Good… Did you create it yourself?" Adam nodded, so the Sword Wraith said "Thank you for showing this to me. Unfortunately, we still have to fight. Show no mercy."

The Sword Wraith took a few steps back and entered into a new stance. This time, Adam went for the offensive, but did not use any skill other than [Mighty Strike] to be able to hit the undead spirit.

The wraith tried to defend itself, but without using any skill Adam easily dominated it, lowering it's HP quickly.

Five minutes later, it's HP fell below the 1,000,000 HP. It moved back, and said "I will start using skills." Adam shrugged and dodged the flying slash coming at him before rushing at the Wraith.

He had decided he wouldn't use any of his skills for this fight, because he didn't need to. Although this was a Level 70 Elder Monster, because it was a Wraith it was far from being able to compare to Holdir, despite being at the same level and rank.

The advantage Wraiths had over other monsters was their intangibility, and deadliness in groups. However, their attributes were much lower than other monsters of the same level. That's why, in a 1vs1 scenario, a wraith would be much weaker than a same leveled monster.

With his current attributes and all his bonuses, Adam believed he was as strong as Holdir right now, and he should be able to win against the Paladin using his swordplay, but it would be close.

But for this Sword Wraith, he was stronger, faster and was more skilled, so even without using any skill he was able to overpower it.

Most of the Wraith's skills were sword skills, for the single target skills Adam simply dodged them, and even the AOE skills he was able to cancel the skills by either parrying or stopping it's movement.

The Sword Wraith was only able to hit Adam only once with every skill, because he didn't know what they would do, but after that if it repeated a skill Adam would know the effect, and how to counter it.

Ten minutes later, the boss' health reached below 270k, or 15% of it's health, but it didn't activate a berserk state. Thus, it only took Adam a couple minutes to finish it.

As the Wraith's last HP disappeared, it didn't disappear right away like the other wraiths, but instead half kneeled because of it's injuries, and said "I am happy to die from your Eternal Art. Thank you."

Adam nodded and swung his sword one last time, dispersing the Wraith. A torrent of XP entered Adam and pushed his level to 33. Unfortunately, as expected, nothing dropped. Adam sent a look at the three centaurs, and saw they were coming his way. No, toward the dead centaur.

Adam left them to their grieving and walked to the hammer on the wall and took it off the wall. It wasn't a weapon so he couldn't see it's status, but from how heavy it was Adam knew that smashing something with this hammer would deal a lot of damage. He put it in his inventory and walked toward the back room. At the same time, he attributed his AP, putting all 50 of them in Strength.

As expected, a chest was laying there, and Adam hurried to go open it. But as he started to open the lid of the chest, it suddenly swung open, and teeth appeared on the edges of the chest. This was a mimic!

The mimic tried to bite Adam's head off, but the later sneered and grabbed the upper and lower part of its mouth with his hands, forcefully keeping its mouth wide open.

But he went even further as Adam slowly opened it wider and wider. Then, using [Mighty Strike] on both his hands, Adam suddenly pulled with all his strength, and the mimic was torn in two.

With the horrible death of the mimic, the items in it fell on the ground. There was a ring, multiples chunks of ore, thirty Gold Coins and a sword.

For the Gold Coins and the chunk of ore, he stored all of them in his inventory. The chunks of Ore were all quite good, he would give them to Neith as she liked eating ore as much as eating meat. Then, he looked at the attributes of the sword first.

It was a one handed sword that looked like a scimitar, but the blade was of a weird silver color, much clearer than a steel sword. If he wasn't wrong, this sword was made of some kind of silver.

[Silver Laced Sword] (Exceptional, Level 70)

Requirements: 250 Strength, 250 Agility, Swordsman Class.

Attack: +10000

Strength, Agility: +2500

Silver Sword (Passive): +50% damage against undead beings, werewolves and vampires.

Sword Draw (Passive): While drawing, the first attack is 100% faster.

Adam put the sword in his inventory, he thought it was actually quite good. It was too bad Eddy was only Level 30, and quite far from Level 70, he would gift it to him.

Just like him, SS Classes needed more XP to level up, and although their penalty wasn't as big as Adam's, it still made it harder for them to level up.

Adam decided he would hold on this sword until he found someone who deserved to get it, or maybe use it to exchange for something else, like he did with the [Corroded Staff of the Undead]. If by the time Eddy nears Level 70 he still has this sword then he would give it to him, but that would be at least a few weeks from now.

Finally, there was only the ring left, and so Adam looked at its attributes.

[Chilly Spirit Ring] (Exceptional, Level 70)

Requirements: 1000 Aura

All Stats: +1500

Ice Touch: Upon contact deal 200% ice damage. Cooldown: 10 seconds.

Spirit Snake: Summon a snake spirit to fight by your side. The snake is a Level 70 Lord, and can only be summoned for ten minutes. Cooldown: 1 hour.

The ring was actually better than he thought it would be, the additional stats were welcomed, and the two skills could be useful. Ice Touch didn't deal much damage, but it had a very low cooldown. As for Spirit Snake, although it wouldn't help him much in combat, he could use it as a scout.

Obviously, Adam wanted to equip it, but he already had two rings, meaning he would have to take one off. His [Massacre Ring] was weaker but allowed him to use the berserk set effect, while the [Clingy Ring] gave him more AP and allowed him to easily climb anything.

After a moment, Adam decided to take off the [Massacre Ring], because it was starting to become more and more useless, and the stronger he was, the more his armor was getting destroyed as he used the berserk skill.

As Adam put on the ring, he felt himself become even stronger than before, he became much stronger. If he were to fight Holdir right here, right now, Adam was 100% sure he would beat him in less than ten minutes.

After all, the ring he had gotten was a powerful one, and not just everyone could put it on. To have 1000 points in Aura at only Level 70, unless one opened the Third Gate, it was quite hard to have this many points.

After all, the requirements for every items only took the raw stats, so even if one had 990 of pure Aura stat, and their aura was boosted to 3000 by their equipments, they still wouldn't be able to use the ring.

After putting on the ring, Adam received a message from Neith 'An army has invaded the city, they are otherworlders like you. They are here for you. They call themselves Cosmo members.'

Adam raised an eyebrow and asked 'How many of them are there?' Neith replied '100 000. But I have a plan.'

Adam felt troubled when he heard how many of them there were, he didn't know even if he would be able to take care of them all. And even if he were, it would waste a lot of his time.

But when he heard Neith had a plan, he listened to her carefully. When she finished, Adam couldn't help but laugh out loudly in the back room. The three centaurs in the main hall wondered what made Adam laugh like that.
