Chapter 163 Awakening Nefarious Labyrinth Monster: Darkin Blues! (12/13)

First, everyone evenly split the beast cores and fed them to their personal treasure chest. After feeding them, all their treasure chests evolved twice: From wooden-grade to Iron-grade to Bronze-grade.

Aside from that, the treasure chest that the Wraith dropped contained the following items:

——

-> 600 rainbow high-grade essence stones.

-> Skill scroll: Ghostly Swipe (SS-rank).

-> Skill scroll: Light Heal (S-rank).

-> Combat Art scroll: Raging Mammoth's Dance (SS-rank).

-> Refined Fire Gemstone (3rd-grade).

-> Refined Light Gemstone (4th-grade).

-> Crusher's Ego Hammer (S-rank, 3rd-class).

-> Ghost Willow Boots (S-rank, 3rd-class).

-> Area Immunity Potion (9th-class).

-> Poison Mist Potion (3rd-class).

-> Shadow Realm Painting (Unique item)

——

"Alright, this will be both easy and hard to distribute," Gereld said with a wry smile.

"You and Baloth can take the first picks since you didn't get anything last time," Arkhen said as he gestured to them with his hand. "Go ahead."

...

After checking some more valuable items, Gereld picked up Ghost Willow Boots, and Baloth picked up Skill scroll: Light Heal.

Healing skills were hard to come by, especially Light affinity healing-type skills that could cure side effects and infections, along with healing the wound.

"Before we distribute, Look at those two items," Gereld said.

There were two abnormal items that could benefit their entire group instead of just one individual.

First, Area Immunity Potion.

——

[Area Immunity Potion]

-Effect: Throw the potion on the ground and cover five meters diameter area with immunity motes. People in the area who bathed in the immunity motes can get immunity from all status effects and debuffs for an entire minute.

——

Gereld said that this item would be helpful on the last floor of the labyrinth, where lay the most challenging boss monster.

Another item was Shadow Realm Painting.

——

[Shadow Realm Painting]

-Info: The painting contains three shadow monsters.

Effect: Infuse primal energy in the painting to summon a shadow monster whose power will be according to the person who infused primal energy in the painting.

Note: The painting will be destroyed after three shadow monsters are summoned from it.

——

"Since you have the highest EP, you hold on to those items," Arkhen said to Gereld.

The others also agreed with that.

As such, Gereld would use it for the group according to the situation.

"These two will be useful in a dire situation. Especially that potion," Gereld said with a smile. "I'll save it till the last floor so we can fight better there for better rewards."

"Next to pick will be Arkhen. He had the highest contribution in this battle," Yeezy said.

"Go ahead," Farin said with a smile and nodded.

Others watched as Arkhen readily sucked those 600 high-grade essence stones into his inventory.

As for others…

Yeezy picked Refined Fire Gemstone.

Farin picked Poison Mist Potion as she wanted to reverse engineer it to be able to produce it herself.

Jeizy picked the Combat Art scroll: Raging Mammoth's Dance.

Lastly, Meya picked the skill scroll: Ghostly Swipe.

Now, everyone had gotten one item from this treasure chest, leaving the Refined Light Gemstone unpicked.

Since Baloth had Light affinity, everyone decided to let him have the Light Gemstone, and he readily imbued that Light Gemstone in his newly acquired weapon, Crusher's Ego Hammer.



Everyone continued moving deeper into the grassy plains and encountered more beasts before killing them and feeding their beast cores to their personal treasure chests.

After half an hour, a passage to the 3rd floor opened, and they readily entered.

Unfortunately, no treasure chest dropped after the Wraith on the 2nd floor.

As they continued their journey inside the labyrinth, five hours passed before they finally arrived at the 7th floor, the last floor of this labyrinth.

On the way here, a total of three treasure chests dropped, so everyone also got some good rewards. Sadly, none of those treasure chests were as good as the one dropped by that Wraith.

All of their personal treasure chests were also upgraded to Gold-grade by the time they arrived on the last floor.

Arkhen also used many mystic cards in the past five hours, so he was only left with 42 mystic cards in his deck.

As everyone dropped onto the last floor, Arkhen couldn't help but wryly smile before saying, "This is too big."

The last floor had vast ancient-looking stone ground that was three square kilometers in the area! But that was not even the end. Outside of that square vast ground were floating platforms all over the floor, and most of the people were standing on them.

More people also came out of nowhere by entering the previous floor's passage portals and dropped here.

Arkhen and the group were also standing on a floating twenty square meters-sized stone platform that was ten meters off the ground.

The most eye-catching thing was in the middle of the vast ground where a giant glass pillar stood filled with mystical golden motes.

It was filled up to more than half, and whenever more people dropped here on the last floor of the labyrinth, that glass pillar would fill up with mystical golden motes.

"When that glass pillar is fully filled up, the Labyrinth boss will spawn. So only a limited amount of people can fight the last boss and gain rewards," Gereld said with a smile. "The top ten people who damaged the boss most will have their personal treasure chest upgraded to the limited grade called Divine-grade."

"What is above Gold-grade treasure chest then? Is this grade the last one?" Arkhen asked curiously.

"The Gold grade is the last one. But you can't upgrade it to Divine-grade no matter how much you feed it," Farin explained. "The Divine-grade treasure chests are only for the top ten. However, those top ten must-have Gold-grade treasure chests beforehand. If not, their treasure chest won't upgrade to the Divine grade."

"I see… Sounds exciting. I wonder if I can get into the top 10," Arkhen said with a wry smile.

"Most likely not," Baloth said while shaking his head. "Farin, take out the energy recovering potions. We'll need them here."

'Oh yeah… They can also recover their energies quickly by using energy stones or energy recovering potion, which are even better at recovering than energy stones,' Arkhen thought. 'Why do I feel like my advantage of unlimited energies just waned a bit?

[Well, they also can't use unlimited recovery potions as they would put a strain on their ponds and mind, just like how you would feel the strain if you use your energies for a long time despite having unlimited energy. Moreover, people can run out of the recovery potion while you won't run out of your unlimited energy sources].

'Haha, thanks for the comfort, Velshi. But I was just jesting about it,' Arkhen inwardly laughed at the rapid response from Velshi to comfort him.

While waiting for the people to fall and reach the requirement to spawn the last boss of the labyrinth, Arkhen looked at his status.

After all, he had gained two new skills and additional 150 rainbow high-grade essence stones in the past five hours.

Those two skills: Plasma Cannon and Dust Devil were S-rank skills, just like Fire Fist Agnister. However, Arkhen was not using them since they were not as powerful as his Slaughter Blades.

He just planned to master all those skills to peak and then combine them along with his Fire Fist Agnister when the function about skill combination unlocks in Mystic Wonderland. That's why he planned to hoard skills.

"Alright, the pillar is full. Get ready," Gereld said with a somber expression. "This will not be easy. The most important thing is to stay alert and don't get hurt. Make damaging the boss your second priority."

A second later, dreadfully words made of dark blue flames appeared in the air.
