Chapter 611 Corrupted
[Ding]
[Yvette’s Lost Necklace]
[Rating: Legendary, Level 1]
[Passive Skill: For every five enemies surrounding, gain an additional 5% boost in all attributes]
[Yvette loved her pet rabbit very much. The rabbit protected her from grave danger thereby dying in the process. So Yvette made a necklace out of the rabbit’s feet to always stay with her as a protective charm]
“This is…” Liam gasped. At first, this might look like a weak skill but when the number of enemies increases, the real strength of the skill would come into the picture.
And for what he was doing at the moment, this particular neckpiece was a good item to have.
Liam quickly equipped both items. “Not bad.” He threw a few punches in the air, trying to collect elemental wisps. However, this was easier said than done.
It looked like it would require some practice. And right now since he was mindlessly grinding, this was the perfect time to practice.
Taking another two swings, Liam thought of something crucial that was still missing. “In Mei Mei’s Crown, there was a clear requirement for leveling up the item. What about these two?” He looked at his knuckles in deep thought.
The problem with legendary items was that these were powerful, game-changing items to have inside the game but that was about it. They were only godly inside the game. They couldn’t even be brought outside the game.
In his last life, there was a rumor going around that the Gu family also possessed a secret legendary item but in the end, they did not manage to bring it outside.
So after seeing Anya flash her emerald crown both inside and outside the game, everyone from the Gu family was burning with jealousy.
In this lifetime, Liam did not want this same thing to repeat. They had three legendary items in their guild so they had to figure out how to bring these items outside to the real world.
“It definitely has to do something with the leveling up.” Liam silently stared at his knuckles for a few seconds and then nodded. “Perhaps this one will increase in level if I managed to gather more wisps?”
The more he thought about it, this made sense. As for the rabbit’s foot necklace, the only conclusion he could reach was that he needed to fight bigger mobs more.
Perhaps when he triggers the passive skill enough times or if he fought against several enemies on his own, the neckpiece would unlock and go to Level 2.
However, these were just conjectures at the moment. He needed to try out some things to confirm these theories.
“Alright. Time to attempt the adventure mode.” Liam walked into the ravine, entering the waters along with his soul minions.
As he did, he could feel the fiery gaze of the elves on his back. In fact, he noticed that they had been watching him keenly ever since he summoned the soul minions.
It didn’t look like it but he had observed each and every one of their reactions. Some were of disgust and some were of fear, but no one acted out. They only showed their emotions subtly before hiding it.
“So the elves don’t like necromancers huh.” Liam smiled and suddenly turned to look at the elven ring leader. Lyana felt a chill sweep across her body as she quickly bent her head down.
Liam chuckled. Sooner or later, they were going to witness his minions fighting with the barbarians so what was the point in hiding from them now?
He did not care if they were disgusted by him or looked down on him. They could do that all they want as long as the cooperation was smooth. Besides, even if they did not want to corporate, he always had other methods to get information from them.
“I will be going in then.” Liam chuckled and entered the dungeon. He gave the elf another meaningful glance before entering the depths.
On the side, Lyana dazedly stared at the man’s disappearing back. In the shallow waters of the ravine, his tall figure was no longer visible. Only then she sighed in relief, but still there was hesitation in her eyes.
Now she understood where Liam’s power and indomitable strength were coming from. He had displayed everything right in front of them. Every single one of the vile creatures was put on for show.
“Leader, he is corrupted. We-” One of the elven women began to say something but Lyana quickly interrupted her. “No need. Don’t say anything now.”
Not just her but all of them had seen Liam take out the soul army. They were not fools. They could see that Liam was able to command the undead, several of them.
The elves were against this as they considered themselves beings of nature. Anything that went against the natural flow of things was considered blasphemy.
But at the same time, this was the person who had rescued them.
Without this person, they would be caught between the greedy humans and the bloodthirsty barbarians. However, they could also not ignore a corrupted person.
“We will not make a decision for now. Let’s wait.” Lyana muttered in contemplation.
She was not naive enough to think that every corrupted person was evil but evil came in all shapes and sizes. This person particularly… was very ruthless.
Sigh. She let out another deep breath. Evil or not, at this time, they needed this person’s help. Especially at the speed at which his strength was improving… they might really be able to go back…
While the group of elves silently contemplated various things, inside the underground network of rocks and water, Liam started the new dungeon run.
In the adventure mode, the mobs were bigger and faster compared to the normal mode. The fishes jumped out of the water in droves, making both Liam and the undead extremely busy.
Though the fight this time was more intense, the swarm of undeads dealt with all the mobs easily. The added gear and the constantly flowing in experience points also helped as several of the undeads leveled up making the fight easier.
