Gathering Hall Mission
Damn it, damn it!
Lin Sheng was utterly horrified to discover that he was actually afraid.
The summoning classes, from skeletons, earth giants, and blood giants to the Iron Maiden, all fell to the opponent's red 'big dog'. Among the Undead summoning classes, only the 'fire giant' remained to be seen.
"I refuse to believe that my fire giant will lose! Flame Giant, rise!" Lin Sheng glared and summoned the highest-level fire giant in the summoning system.
With a whoosh, blazing flames gathered under Lin Sheng's incantation, and a giant made entirely of flames rose from the ground, its aura now comparable to that of a divine beast.
"Flames?" Li Wei scratched his head, thinking that the divine beast's attack was probably no longer effective.
As expected, the fire giant remained completely unharmed despite the divine beast's renewed burst of flames.
"Phew!" Lin Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, finally stabilizing the situation. Next, he continued to cast curses and then used bone poison magic to finish off his opponent.
"Bone Prison, rise!" Lin Sheng pointed his Magic Wand and recited a necromancy incantation.
'Crunch!'
After a series of strange noises, rows of thick bones suddenly emerged from the ground, trapping Li Wei and the divine beast. Now, even if Li Wei wanted to escape, it would be impossible.
"Amplify Damage!" Another curse enveloped Li Wei and the divine beast.
Then, two long bone spears shot out and pierced towards us.
With a soft "poof," the divine beast trapped in the Bone Prison was pierced through by the bone spear, then turned into countless burning talismans and dissipated into the air.
Meanwhile, when Li Wei arrived, the Bone Prison was already empty.
"Where is he?" Lin Kun's eyes widened; he hadn't seen how the other person disappeared at all.
Everyone around, except for the Daoist and the great wizard, rubbed their eyes, wondering if they were seeing things. How could the boy trapped in the Bone Prison have vanished in the blink of an eye?
"Where did he go?" Lin Kun looked around with a slight unease, while his Magic Wand glowed with a faint green light, clearly preparing for his next spell. His fire giant was also roaming around, trying to find the enemy.
"Found it!"
Sensing a pressure coming from behind him, Lin Kun shouted. He quickly tapped his magic wand in the air, and a bone poison spell was released.
'Poison Nova!'
Bang!
A large burst of green poisonous light suddenly erupted around Lin Kun's body, covering an area of more than ten meters, and it was a 360-degree area with no blind spots. It can be said that the entire area within ten meters around him was shrouded in this sudden burst of poisonous light. Even if Li Wei really attacked him from behind, he would definitely not be able to avoid this sudden attack.
Feeling the pressure behind him lessen, Lin Kun laughed heartily. This 'Poison Nova' was his signature skill, and also a top-tier spell in the Necromancer's bone poison magic. This green poison was extremely potent; even a tiny bit of it would poison humans and livestock, causing them unbearable Pain in both body and soul within seconds, ultimately leading to death.
Lin Kun once asserted that no one in the world could withstand his bone poison, not even top-tier reincarnators like Daoist or great wizards.
But is reality really as he predicted?
Puff!
A burst of blood-red light suddenly erupted, and Lin Kun felt a sharp pain in his arms, followed by a strange lightness in his body.
What's wrong?
Time seemed to stand still. He slowly turned his head and saw with disbelief that his arms had been severed from his body and were flying to the sides. His arms had clearly been cut open, and a large amount of blood gushed out, drawing a peculiar pattern in the air.
With two sharp cracks, the severed arm fell to the ground, and at that moment, Lin Kun let out a bloodcurdling scream like a pig being slaughtered.
"Unfortunately, I don't want to play with you anymore. You and your brother are both arrogant and reckless because you think you have some power. But how could you know that with your mere A1 level, you're not even trash in my eyes!" Li Wei's voice suddenly appeared in Lin Kun's ear.
The instant his two severed arms fell, Li Wei appeared before Lin Kun like a ghost.
It was as if he had always been standing there. The venomous nova hadn't hit Li Wei at all.
Looking at Li Wei, who seemed like a ghost, Lin Kun's eyes were filled with fear. Even if he were a fool, he now understood that he had kicked a hornet's nest this time, and a hornet's nest at that.
Regret and fear filled Lin Kun's mind, but after a brief period of fear, he immediately began to work hard for his survival.
"M-My lord, I concede defeat in this duel..." Lin Kun shouted loudly, but before he could finish speaking, he felt a chill on his neck and heard the sound of rushing water in his ears.
"If we switched places, would you let me go? So... die in peace!"
This was the last sound Lin Kun heard. Immediately afterward, his headless corpse collapsed to the ground with a thud, and the fire giant, without the support of magic, dissipated into the air.
The duel ended, and Lin Kun died in less than two minutes!
The group of reincarnators were completely silent, not daring to even breathe.
What just happened?
No one saw it clearly; they only saw Lin Kun's opponent suddenly disappear and then reappear, at which point Lin Kun's arms and head were severed.
"Gulp!" Seventy-Two, who was watching from a distance, swallowed hard, his forehead also covered in sweat. This boy named 'Li Wei' is too amazing.
But why does his fighting style look so familiar?
He seemed to have seen this special skill of suddenly disappearing and then suddenly reappearing before, and in Seventy-Two's memory, there seemed to be only 'that person' who possessed this skill.
Long ago in a dungeon raid, 'that person' used the same method to lure monsters and kill them!
What's even stranger is that both that person and the boy in front of them are named Li Wei!
Suddenly, Seventy-Two felt something was amiss. Could there be some connection between these two?
At this moment, Li Wei had already walked over, accompanied by the Daoist.
"Seventy-Two, let's go together. By the way, let me introduce you. This is Daoist. You should have heard of him!" Li Wei didn't look like he had just killed someone. He pointed to the Daoist next to him and chuckled.
At this point, all that Seventy-Two could do was nod.
Normally, the aloof Daoist Daoist greeted Seventy-Two in a friendly manner, making Seventy-Two feel as if he were dreaming.
"Wait a minute!" A person moved in front of Li Wei with the same strange movement as Li Wei, blocking the three of them.
This person was clad in a magic robe, and his body was surrounded by invisible magical fluctuations, clearly making him far stronger than Lin Kun from before.
"The Great Wizard!" Li Wei revealed the other party's identity. At this point, he wasn't afraid of being recognized. In fact, since the Daoist could recognize him, the Great Wizard, even if he didn't, would still have some suspicions. After all, he had used 'Shifting Forms and Changing Positions' when fighting the Great Wizard before.
The great wizard would certainly recognize such a magical skill at a glance.
"What, you also want to settle old scores?" Li Wei said, staring at the other person with a smile, but the threat in his eyes was self-evident.
This great wizard's combat power has reached the peak of A2 level. Li Wei's 'Blood Control Method' can no longer kill him directly. Moreover, when he came over with the Taoist He, the Daoist also said not to have any more conflicts with the great wizard.
The Daoist's words carried considerable weight. He must have had his reasons for saying that, which is why Li Wei turned and left instead of killing the great shaman who had once hunted him down.
Upon hearing Li Wei's words, the Grand Wizard chuckled and first looked Li Wei up and down, "I didn't expect you to have changed bodies too, haha!"
He ignored the threat and continued with a smile, "Past grudges mean nothing. Now that you have the strength to stand on equal footing with me, even for my own sake, I will no longer consider you an enemy!"
With just a few words, he made his stance clear.
"Then why did you stop me?" Li Wei asked curiously, pondering the other party's earlier words. The great wizard had said that he had also changed bodies, which meant that this kind of body-changing was not the first time among the reincarnators.
"If I get the chance, I must find out," Li Wei thought to himself.
"Didn't the Daoist tell you? He and I have already received the mission from the gathering place, but the mission is extremely difficult. We're waiting here just to see if it's possible to find an expert of the same level to join us!"
At this point, the Daoist nodded and said, "This isn't the place to talk. Let's go to the meeting place. There's food there, and it's also a good place to chat. Li Wei, I have a lot to tell you!"
At this point, Li Wei had no choice but to agree. He took a few steps, then remembered Bao Ling and Sharp Axe, and quickly called to the two terrified guys, and together they entered the Hunter's Gathering Hall.
The Hunter's Gathering Hall is a favorite spot for high-level hunters. Here you'll find beautiful maids, exquisite wines, and fragrant, roasted food.
This is also the place where high-level hunting missions are accepted. Li Wei was puzzled as to why the Daoist and the others were accepting missions here.
However, Li Wei only learned what had happened after they explained the situation.
"Upon entering the Hunter Village, the Yellow Paper will issue the main quest. From what we understand, all reincarnators have the same quest: 'Accept a hunting quest, and upon completion, you will be teleported back to Shadow Street.' This quest seems simple, but the Taoist He and I can no longer receive quests from the village chief who usually issues them. The village chief told us that once your combat power reaches A-rank, you can only receive quests at the gathering hall. Unfortunately, all the quests here are 'high-rank'."
The great wizard put away his Magic Wand, gently tapped the table with his soft fingers, and slowly explained the reason. As he spoke, the Daoist nodded, clearly conveying to Li Wei that the other party was not lying.
"Even high-rank quests vary in difficulty. If we just accept an easier one, like hunting a high-rank Boar King or a high-rank Velocidrome, it shouldn't be too difficult, right?" Li Wei pinpointed the key point. The Archmage sighed; this was the first time someone of his level had expressed such sentiments. "I know all that, but the only quest we can accept at the Gathering Hall is the subjugation quest: 'Tigrex'..."
