254: Chapter 254 Artifact Unsealing Quest
Shua!
Shua shua shua!
White light from leveling up burst from everyone's bodies; they were all leveling up!
"It was actually a Level 800 BOSS!"
"No wonder Prophecy failed..."
Fortunately, Ma Sai was strong enough, and fortunately, the squad was no longer what it used to be. They had successfully taken down this BOSS.
"The legendary key, I found it!"
After the BOSS died, Ma Sai ignored everything else and dove straight into the BOSS's corpse. He fished out the legendary key and was about to hand it to Yun Ge when a look of astonishment appeared on his face:
"Yun Ge, you're Level 100!"
Previously, Yun Ge had just reached Level 97. This single BOSS had actually granted him three full levels!
"Yeah, I'm Level 100 now."
Yun Ge had also just noticed. He unhurriedly began swapping his equipment. His Dark Gold Equipment was finally being retired. He put on the full set of legendary equipment Ye Fan had given him piece by piece, even replacing the Level 80 Dark Gold ring that had been very useful before.
That ring came with a 10-second Elemental Shield, which had helped Yun Ge a lot in the past. Now, it was being relegated to the second line; the attributes of legendary equipment were simply better.
"How is it, how is it?"
Su Lei watched as the glow on Yun Ge's body slowly changed from dark gold to orange. A moment later, Yun Ge was shimmering with orange light, looking very flashy. He stood out like a firefly in the night amidst the pitch-black abyss.
"Yun Ge, tell us quickly, how does it feel?"
Seeing Yun Ge suddenly stand perfectly still, Su Lei couldn't help but urge him.
However, Yun Ge couldn't pay attention to Su Lei at all. Right after he hit Level 100, a quest popped up on his panel!
"Awakening Quest: The Sealed Divine Artifact."
"Congratulations, my warrior. You have successfully reached Level 100. Next, please complete the quest to unseal the Divine Artifact in your hands and let the divine glory shine upon the earth once more!"
"The Divine Artifact quest has finally appeared..."
Yun Ge murmured to himself. After obtaining the Divine Artifact Staff, he had searched for who knows how long without finding a way to unseal it. He hadn't expected it to be this simple—the quest appeared automatically once he reached Level 100.
"Yun Ge, have you gone stupid?"
Su Lei waved a hand in front of Yun Ge's face, only to be barked at by Ma Sai:
"Don't cause trouble, Yun Ge is checking his attributes. Hurry up and pick up the equipment on the ground."
The Abyssal Sky Demon hadn't just dropped a single Legendary Weapon. Scattered on the ground were over a dozen pieces of Level 100 Dark Gold Equipment. This gear would normally be top-tier for an Awakened, but now, no one in the squad needed them.
"Let Ye Fan distribute them. Equipment of this level wouldn't have many buyers even if put in the Trading House."
Besides the Dark Gold Equipment, the Abyssal Sky Demon had generously dropped four top-grade gems, as well as top-grade attribute fruits, top-grade potions, and so on. The drop rate was quite high.
"Strength Gem for me, wisdom gem for Yun Ge, hmm, life gem for Yun Ge too. These few Mana Fruits are for Ye Zi..."
While Ma Sai was distributing the BOSS drops, Yun Ge finally finished reviewing the quest.
Divine Artifact Unsealing Quest Process:
1. Use the Space-Time Gate to travel back 100 years to the night the Abyss descended and witness history firsthand.
2. Defeat the clone of the Abyssal Demon God when the Abyss descends.
3. Obtain the Demon God's Source of Power to activate the sealed staff.
"The Space-Time Gate can actually travel through time!"
Despite having owned the Divine Artifact Staff for so long and using the Space-Time Gate countless times, this was the first time Yun Ge realized it could actually traverse time!
"No wonder it's a Divine Artifact, it's truly insane!"
The Divine Artifact's unsealing quest was very clear. He had to use the Space-Time Gate built into the staff to return to the moment the Abyss descended over 100 years ago, defeat the clone of the Abyssal Demon God, and obtain the Demon God's Source of Power to activate the staff.
The difficulty lay in the fact that Yun Ge had to go back to the past and defeat a clone of the Abyssal Demon God!
How was that possible!
Even though he was now fully decked out in legendary gear, Yun Ge knew very well that if the whole squad went back, they might have a chance, but if it was just him...
He couldn't do it yet.
Wait, no.
Yun Ge keenly noticed that the quest didn't require him to complete it alone!
"Which means..."
A look of joy appeared on Yun Ge's face. If the whole squad could pass through the Space-Time Gate, wouldn't it be a piece of cake?
Not just the six people in the squad—Yun Ge would also call Ye Fan, A-Tang, and Xiao Yan. They would charge back in a grand and formidable army!
"But I need to wait a bit. I'll wait until everyone in the squad reaches Level 100 before doing this quest."
Yun Ge looked at Ma Sai and He Xin, who were Level 96, Ye Zi and Xiao Xue, who were Level 95, and Su Lei, who had reached Level 92.
Just a bit longer. It would be very soon; it wouldn't take much time.
"Su Lei, hurry up and level up. This sword of the dark angel has attributes very suitable for you."
Yun Ge handed the Legendary Weapon they just obtained to Su Lei. As expected of a Level 800 BOSS, the attributes were much higher than the one in Su Lei's inventory. This sword of the dark angel came with a Black Hole skill, allowing the user to briefly hide within a black hole, becoming completely invincible!
A longsword with an invincibility skill was definitely the best. Whether the attack power was a bit higher or lower didn't really matter. Staying alive—only by staying alive could one deal better damage.
Su Lei happily took the sword of the dark angel. The experience from the BOSS just now was incredibly high, causing his level to soar. He had originally felt that Level 100 was a bit distant, but he had instantly reached the 90s.
It was just a pity that while the squad had plenty of Level 100 Dark Gold Equipment, they had absolutely no Level 90 Dark Gold gear.
So Su Lei couldn't replace a single piece of his armor.
"Yun Ge, here's the legendary key."
Ma Sai handed the legendary key and the top-grade gems from earlier to Yun Ge. Next, it was time to open the legendary treasure chest!
Everyone looked at the now-calm lake surface, trying to find where the treasure chest was.
"A lot of mobs crawled out of the lake earlier, all summoned by the BOSS. I reckon there are no more monsters down there."
"Hard to say, the water looks quite deep."
"Do we need to go into the water?"
"Wait a moment."
Xiao Xue began chanting Prophecy. A moment later, a golden light flew out from the crystal ball in her hand. When it descended onto the lake, the water suddenly formed a massive whirlpool!
"Look, the chest is right there!"
Ma Sai saw it immediately. There wasn't a single drop of water in the center of the whirlpool. The golden light landed precisely on an orange treasure chest at the bottom of the lake. That was the legendary treasure chest!
"So that's how it is."
Yun Ge was deep in thought. The treasure chest had been found and Prophecy had been applied. Would a second Divine Artifact emerge?
"Ground Shrinking Technique!"
Yun Ge no longer hesitated and decisively rushed over. The legendary key in his hand opened the treasure chest perfectly!
System Announcement: Warrior Yun Ge has obtained a Divine Artifact, Robe of the Elemental God (Sealed)!
