Chapter 36

It is said that if the character template is the same, if the character background is changed to a battle-experienced mage, I would probably be done for here~ I hope it drops something good! But why can't this cloak still be identified?

Fang Yi patted left and right, unwilling to reveal the true face of the cloak in his hand. Seeing the mana potion's mana value about to run out, Fang Yi pouted, decided not to identify it, and focused on the main task.

The only searchable items in the room were the desk and bookshelf, which were all game scene items, completely immovable. Fang Yi found nothing useful after searching around, so he casually threw the "thousand times failed identification cloak" into the dimensional bag and walked toward another door.

Saury took a deep breath, the dryness in his throat from physical exhaustion stimulating the druid's brain. Although almost in despair, Saury knew that victory was just ahead!

The urgent desire to reach the top of the tower made everyone fail to notice the abnormality on the floor of the hall. It wasn't until the boss summoned the third wave of two zombies from the ground that Saury desperately realized that they were standing on a magic-induced withering land, fighting the Dark Guard—there was nothing more disheartening than this.

The boss, originally on par with the Windchaser Warrior, became even more powerful with the 10% boost from the withering land, making the warrior unable to lift his head. The spell "Raise Dead," which consumed one-third of the maximum mana, could almost be cast infinitely due to the additional mana recovery effect from the withering land. All of this was because of insufficient preparation before the battle. Now, Saury was almost certain that there must be an item to counter the withering land downstairs or in this hall, but would the boss give him time to find clues?

The answer was, of course, no. The entrance and exit of the room were already sealed, and the boss, which should have been taken down with some effort, turned into a brutal battle. The Windchaser Warrior took a hit from the boss to protect the mage and died instantly. The monk, who temporarily served as a tank, also fell helplessly after less than a minute... But victory was just ahead!

The Dark Guard, already covered in wounds, confirmed that the monk behind him had no life left, and only then pulled the giant sword out of the monk's mangled chest. The soul fire in the pitch-black eye sockets quickly locked onto the target: the druid closest to him.

Saury tightly leaned against the obsidian chair behind him, and as he chanted the long incantation, the mana in his mana bar flowed away like water. At this moment, Saury could only pray in his heart for time to pass more slowly, and then even more slowly. Finally, at the moment the Dark Guard began to accelerate, Saury heard the sound he had been waiting for.

"Light!"

The only remaining mage in the party, though not understanding why the captain wanted him to use a small magic trick on cooldown, had no time to think in the current dire situation. He only focused on his skill list and cast the spell at the first opportunity.

But this time, the spell target was not a teammate but the boss, the Dark Guard.

The giant sword in the Dark Guard's hand suddenly shone brilliantly (for dark creatures, the light of a torch was already blinding), and the boss, about to charge at the nearby druid, suddenly paused. Although the undead had lost all their senses, the blinding light still caused a strong discomfort to its soul power.

Blind effect! Saury felt relieved, his prepared incantation was almost complete. But the boss shook its head and returned to normal after just a second. Damn! Saury cursed in his heart, elite template's extra resistance!

At this moment, the mage beside him had already gone all out, and the only magic missile with a cooldown finished rushed toward the boss. The consecutive attacks clearly angered the boss, and the Dark Guard abandoned its original target, taking a few steps to the mage and ending the fragile human's life with one strike.

"Stone Magic!" (Stone Magic: Turns 1-3 stones into a projectile, causing 27-135 points of physical damage, which varies depending on the quality of the stones. The weight of the stones cannot exceed the caster's strength value x caster's level.) After the five-second spell incantation finally ended, Saury lightly tapped the heavy stone chair beside him. Immediately, the black stone chair was enveloped in a shining magic light, rising into the air like lightning, and the "chair" transformed into a stone ball by magic heavily struck the Dark Guard's chest.

"Bang!" A loud noise, the undead boss was directly knocked flying by the sudden boulder, crashing into the wall on the other side of the room. The large "−123" flickering on the retina and the subsequent system prompt made Saury dazed for a moment, then he took a long breath and collapsed on the ground.

I'm still alive! The joy of surviving a near-death experience made Saury a bit dazed.

In the beginner village, with the +9 healing effect fine-quality dagger obtained from the dungeon, Saury barely completed the first class mission within the time limit, and the reward was this rare skill: Stone Magic.

Although the casting process was too complicated, the extremely high damage made it hard to give up. Originally, this skill would also cause long-term bruising and unconsciousness after hitting the target, but it didn't have time to manifest on the Dark Guard.

Saury recovered his state, calmed down, and first picked up the boots dropped by the warrior, then walked to the side of the boss's body, which was shattered by the Stone Magic. After a thorough search, he picked up a short sword and a white cylindrical key from the boss's belt. The druid, who had already regained a peaceful mindset, did not immediately identify the equipment but looked around the room that almost wiped out his team and then quickly walked toward the opposite exit.

There were no more monsters on the way, and the spiral stone stairs had already reached the top. The faint light seeping through the door crack made the rogue cautious. Fang Yi checked his equipment, stuffed the remaining two health potions and one mana potion into his belt, and gently pushed the door, disappearing into the air.

Saury was excitedly circling the hall, the candles on the marble platform being the only light source in the room. The silver treasure chest attracted the druid's full attention: this must be the final reward of this tempting dungeon. That rogue must have died to some tough monster downstairs, after all, it took four of us to barely get through.

But how to open the treasure chest? The key in his hand had already been tried, but it seemed to be missing a part and didn't fit. Do I have to kill more monsters in other passages? At this moment, Saury no longer had the high spirits he had when he first entered, and the thought of the monsters downstairs made him shudder.

Saury, lost in thought, didn't expect the rogue to have already stealthed into the room. Fang Yi immediately recognized the somewhat disheveled druid in front of him: Isn't this the druid who gave away information to that rogue in the Tashir Cemetery? Long time no see, I miss you~
