15 Chapter 15 Ancient Level quest

Both Su Mo and Qing Yang nodded their heads in unison. To them, the appearance of such a high level expert was not something that could be casually ignored.

And they were right. Currently, not just them, even their various backgrounds had begun to search for this new player who had performed such a feat that even their own experts were not capable of.

"Let's continue advancing, for now, we will head towards the dark castle!" Annabelle said as she walked forwards completely uncaring about the others opinion.

Although they all knew each other, it was too much of a stretch to call them friends or acquaintances. At most, they just knew of each other and happened to meet up in this place after getting the token which represented their qualifications.

Su Mo belonged to the Su family, one of the aristocratic families ranked second in overall power. Meanwhile, both Qing Yang and the other female named Lu Qian were children of the vice guild leaders of The Redhood Guild.

However, in comparison to the Su Aristocratic family, their overall power and connections were just a touch lower. However, that didn't make them any less important than someone from the aristocratic families.

After all, both Qing Yang and Su Mo among the top talents of the younger generation as they were both B rank talents. However, Annabelle couldn't care about them as whether in terms of personal strength, background influence or even personal influence, both of them were not her match.

Annabelle Krill was regarded as a one time heavenly genius of the krill family. At the age of 20, not only had she already awakened as an double A rank hunter, but she had also awakened a special talent called blink.

Her Krill family was naturally ranked number 1 among the various forces in the west. Be it the Russell family or Su family or even the Sky Reapers guild, Krill was above them all.

The only powers that could go head on with the krill family were the White Tiger Guild who were considered as the overlords of the west. So naturally, it was normal for her to be a little arrogant even among those of the same generation.

Lu Qian grumbled a little at her character while Qing Yang frowned slightly but didn't say anything. Su Mo on the other hand didn't even show his displeasure, he even bad a small smile on his face the entire time.

"Humph! Just because of a little strength, she acts so arrogantly in front of us all. Wait till I awaken my top tier talent and become an S rank hunter, I'll show you then!" Lu Qian grumbled as she advanced forward.

Qing Yang who heard her slight mumbling only faintly smiled. Was it possible to just become an S rank hunter? The answer was yes, however, the chances were pitifully low.

After Earth's comeback from the catastrophe, many nations had changed names. In the current world, Old eastern Europe had already had its name changed to Windfall nation. More than half of Europe had actually been turned into a single country, however, how many S rank hunters did they possess?

The Number wasn't even up to 5.

He too shook his head and advanced forward pretending as if they didn't notice Annabelle's bratty attitude. The four people moved quickly at their full speed as Annabelle took the lead.

Her goal was obvious, and it was to get the first clear of the Dark Ruins before anyone else does. Although her face was generally indifferent, there was a strong hint of determination hidden in the depths of her eyes.

<< Congratulations to Player Neo who has successfully become the first player ever to Kill a Level 5 Elite Boss >>

"What the hell! What's going on here?" Su Mo who was running forward couldn't help but curse as he immediately put a stop to his running.

"This game hasn't even been out for half an hour and someone has already killed an Elite boss". Not just Su Mo, the other three all had puzzled expressions as well when the notification appeared.

And sure enough, after reading the notification, their faces turned green. Annabelle frowned deeply as she continuously pondered what was going on. It was still somewhat believable to reach level 1 but to defeat a Level 5 monster, and an elite at that was not something that could be causally achieved.

The reason why she knew this was because, everyone had their stats limited to ten points at the start of the game.

"This only confirms my suspicion, this person, whoever he or she is is a very powerful expert who came to Reverbs universe, but why have I never heard of him?"

"Can he even be considered as a player anymore? Even S rank experts can't achieve such a feat. Are you sire someone isn't cheating?" Su Mo suddenly said bringing everyone to realise another possibility.

True, they had overlooked that fact. Although rare, it wasn't impossible for someone to hack the game as technology had become more advanced ever since the early 21st century. However, if this person truly was a hacker, why haven't the game developers discovered it yet.

Su Mo wanted to say more, however, at that moment, a pale rotten hand suddenly shot out from the hardened cemented ground and dug into Su Mo's legs.

However, not only did it not stop there, but it also dug deeper into his skin.

Su Mo yelled painfully successfully drawing everyone's attention as he punched downwards. His fists Landed on the rotten arm and a cracking noise was heard.

Everyone could clearly see that the force of Su Mo's punch had broken the wrist of the hand causing it to bend. Su Mo heaved a small sigh of relief.

But a moment later, his face turned pale as he discovered that although the hand was broken, whatever creature it was that held unto him, its grip was not getting any softer.

<< You have been scratched by a Level 10 Undead Zombie >>

<< Undead zombie has activated passive skill: Steel grip on you >>

<< You have been poisoned by the Undead Virus. -50 Health points will be deducted per second for 25 Seconds >>

<< Level difference of 10 has been recognized. +289 Health points deducted per second for 100 Seconds >>

Under everyone's horrified gaze, Su Mo's complexion turned deathly pale and his body fell to the floor and dissipated as his HP dwindled to zero points in the blink of an eye.

The arm that grabbed Su Mo suddenly started cracking as the joints of the wrist rapidly repaired themselves. Before anyone else could process what was happening, multiple pale hands shot out from the ground and the whole place instantly became grabby.

Annabelle's face was deathly pale as she leaped away before a zombie hand could grab her. The others didn't dare dally as both Lu Qian and Qing Yang madly scrambled to get away from this place.

What the fuck was that? They definitely did not want to die as miserably as Su Mo did.

[ You have stepped into the open dungeon, Zombies clearing grounds ]

An open dungeon! Although they saw the notification, no one dared to stop as the madly scrambled away while leaping from place to place.

Meanwhile, the zombies that had originally been underground suddenly shot up to life like a real scene in a horror movie. Their deathly pale faces and horrible rotten stench would give anyone who saw them a sense of impending doom as if the grim reaper had paid them a visit.

"Fuck! Zombies!" Qing Yang couldn't help but curse. However, the second he did, more than 20 zombies who had just emerged from the ground all turned their heads in his direction. After setting their sights on him, they all snarled and dashed forward with insane speeds not befitting for a zombies status!

Qing Yang was instantly dumbstruck as 20 fast shadows dashed towards him in unplanned unison. This definitely wasn't how zombies were in the movies.

Before he could react, he had already been surrounded by 20 zombies from one direction. They all pounced on him and a gory scene immediately took place.

Qing Yang screamed madly as his HP diminished rapidly, in less than 2 seconds, his HP diminished and he was dead. However, Unlike Su Mo who dissipated after death, Qing Yang's body didn't dissipate as it turned into a meat buffet for a bunch of hungry zombies.

A system notification appeared for Qing Yang, However he had died too fast to be able to read it.

<< You have turned into an Undead S feast >>

<< Negative status implemented: All stats -8 points. You have gained the status debuff, Slow levelling >>

<< Slow levelling: All EXP received from now on will be reduced by 70% >>

<< Your immortal soul has been damaged by the large quantities of undead virus. You will be barred from logging in for a month >>

Lu Qian and Annabelle were frozen stiff for a few moments after seeing the bloody scene. Lu Qian especially almost couldn't hold in the urge to puke.

At this moment, Ethan casually slashed a level 4 common undead as his figure shuttled back and forth between a group of undead Imps. It could be said to be that his luck was relatively good as he hadn't encountered a higher level monster after the undead archer.

Slash! The common dagger ripped through the neck of the last level 4 Imp and died. Ethan didn't even bother to check for loot as it was definitely impossible to receive any loot from such low level monsters.

"My speed increase is really too monstrous" he sighed deeply with a self depreciating smile as he causally waves his spatial ring. He corpses of the undead imps were all stored away as he prepared to move closer to the Dark castle. However, at this moment.

<< Warning all players in the Ruins, the main quest log has been triggered. The Apocalypse has now begun >>

The sound of an aged, elderly voice rang out causing all the experts in the ruins and the notification followed soon after.

Suddenly, the whole dungeon map started to rumble as an earthquake shook the land fiercely.

"Shit!" Ethan cursed as he felt the tremor. The map announcement, the earthquake, in his last life, this would only happen when a major event was about to take place in a certain area. However, being in the undead ruins, Ethan suddenly had a bad feeling about what was gonna happen.

After a few moments, the earthquake stopped, however Ethan was not in the least but relieved as he glanced around the place warily.

And sure enough.

The sounds of cracking sounds echoed quickly drawing his attention. He looked at the grounds and saw that the cement was rapidly cracking in multiple place. Knowingly, he took a couple steps back and gripped the common dagger in his hands tighter.

<< Ancient Level Main quest chain has begun: Solovons Reign! >>

<< 1st Line Quest: Get to the dark castle as fast as possible without dying. Rewards: ????? >>

"Ancient level Quest!" Ethan gasped as he turned his attention from the notification to the floor. The cement cracks shook before the ground burst open. Dust filled the air as Ethan hurriedly reacted and leaped backwards several meters away.

The dust cleared as his line of sight to showed massive three meter tall dog like creatures. Each one of these creatures had a large head with multiple Chains wrapped around their bodies.

<< Undead Hounds (Under weakening effect of the heavenly Suppression Chains and have had their true strength and levels reduced ) >>

<< Status: Guard monsters of Necromancer king Solovon/ Level: 7 >>

"Fuck Me!"
