The second enterprise into the Darkish Sky was slightly profitable for Edward’s occasion. Though they did run into a number of monsters on the way in which, they labored collectively to swiftly do away with them with out alerting different monsters close by and get encircled like final time.

Furthermore, they have been slowly making their approach towards the lacking Mufasa.

[Edward: The System’s reaction is stronger here. Mufasa has to be nearby.)

[Leah: You say that, but it’s all darkness and nothing could be seen. It spoils the mood even more because we can’t use lights here.]

[Doug Ag: And it’s very quiet around us, with no monster sounds… I have a bad feeling about this.]

[Marni: Damn it, I died again! There are so many monsters down in Dark Sky!)

(Marni: Sorry, wrong post.] [Edward: …]

[Leah: I’m suddenly in a very good mood!]

(Doug Ag: I’m instantly feeling very assured for some motive too!]

[Edward: Do your best, everyone. We are very close to clearing this floor!]

(Leah, Doug Ag: Yeah-!] [Marni: …]

(Marni: Though I do know in regards to the rumors circulating amongst the Gamers, don’t you assume it’s hurtful to say that in my face? Is our friendship faux!?]

[Edward: If we clear this stratum, I could embed one rune in one of your items.]

(Marni: Actually? Then ought to I come to the Darkish Sky to die once more? By the way in which, I don’t need the Ace Rune. Some Participant who embedded it received workforce wiped for some motive.)

(Edward: …]

Hey? Are you not being just a little too materialistic there?

Though Marni appeared eager on persevering with the dialog to get extra details about Darkish Sky, Edward and the others have been nonetheless within the means of exploration. With the lightless atmosphere making their work so much more durable, Edward and the others responded to Marni’s different questions slightly slowly.

And being not one to maintain bothering others, Marni quickly left the publish and constructed one other new occasion.

Quickly, nonetheless, Joe whose job was to remain on excessive alert because the occasion’s vanguard and as such didn’t be part of the chat got here on-line.

(Joe: I’ve excellent news and unhealthy information. Which one do you wish to hear first?]

Edward did a double take.

When did an oaf such as you study this trick?

[Doug Ag: Good news first. We’ll be happy then, and then we’ll get shocked by the bad news later.]

(Joe: Excellent news it’s. Nicely, I feel we discovered Mufasa.]

(Edward: The place?]

(Joe: Close by, simply forward. And now the unhealthy information: I can see some flashes from right here…]

At first, Edward had been distracted by Joe’s data, and shortly turn out to be nervous as some faint specks of sunshine confirmed up.

That was most likely the flashes Joe had seen.

And one highly effective monster that shone brightly was coming their approach!

Edward additionally shortly realized that it may be the identical monster that Mufasa startled earlier than.

Does that imply the creature had been chasing Mufasa till now?

Come to think about it, they positively had not talked to Mufasa for a while.

[Edward: Mufasa, you there?]

(Mufasa: Yeah, however this isn’t good…]

At the same time as Mufasa’s remark appeared on the Participant boards, his determine appeared inside everybody’s imaginative and prescient!

“You guys…”

Mufasa had barely breathed these two phrases when he promptly realized that he should not merely make a sound within the profound vastness of Darkish Sky.

Therefore, he promptly switched to commenting on the boards.

[Mufasa: Run!]

The truth is, his remark got here too late.

Edward and the others noticed the illusory radiance behind Mufasa and instantly grew to become cautious.

However that wariness was single-sided and momentary.

In any case, Edward was not cautious within the subsequent cut up second-though there was no telling how far the monster was, its vivid physique alone made it seem like over two kilometers away.

It gave the impression to be a cross between a prawn and a dragon, with sharp spines rising over its physique. Though it had no limbs or tooth, it had a horrific, gaping maw with innumerable tentacle-like issues rising out of it.

May the monster be the explanation why issues had been so silent round them?

[Muta the Black Dragon Python, LV30]

Edward had assumed that his eyes have been enjoying methods on him and rubbed his eyes to examine. Even so, the monster’s stage was nonetheless 30 and never 130.

(Edward: Mufasa, put together to counter. We’ll assist you.)

[Mufasa: Don’t be fooled by its level! It’s definitely not just level 30—I would believe it even if the System says it is level 60!]

[Edward: What?!]

Nonetheless, Edward didn’t have a lot time to organize. The creature was shifting alongside the path the place Mufasa fled, brushing previous Edward’s occasion.

Not about to overlook his likelihood, Edward instantly casted a Pink-Eyes Darkish Dragoon Blast, attacking the monster from beneath its stomach!

At first, he thought that launching his final talent at such shut distance would blow the creature half to loss of life even when he didn’t kill it, or at the very least stun it.

And but, Edward didn’t anticipate that his assault didn’t reduce down the monster’s HP by a lot!

Edward was instantly dumbstruck.

How might this be? A stage 40 monster would have been maimed if it had a talent like that fired on its abdomen, not to mention a stage 40 monster…

In the meantime, Muta the Black Dragon Python appeared to note the presence of Edward’s group simply then, therefore turning round to lunge in the direction of them!

“Now we have no selection! That is going to be a direct combat! Joe, Doug Ag, use no matter expertise you’ve gotten!” Edward cried whereas waving Blissful Flames—the passive barrier had been damaged after he died final time, and the workers solely buffs the harm of his hearth spells now. “Princess Leah, please buff us. Jessica, we’re relying on you on heals and different buffs

too!”

“I’ve been ready for this!”

After holding again for a very long time, Princess Leah promptly unleashed her weapon, waving her flag within the gloom of Darkish Sky, revealing the metal shaft beneath. “Warsong Refrain, Hero Creation, Unyielding Power! Don’t fear and cost!”

“Edward…” Jessica appeared frightened, however she didn’t keep idle—the hilt of her holy lance was shining with silver gentle.

Gou Dan’s AWM had become a big bow as effectively, and he handily received his arrow nocked.

On the identical time, Joe had drawn out Large’s Toe and smiled fearlessly on the behemoth, hooking his finger at it whereas utilizing a Taunt.

“Come to papa!”
