Chapter 176: A Visitor from afar

[4:58]

There was a small crack in the space, and the warrior, dressed in armor wrapped in black flames, extended his right gauntlet, shaped like a talon, inside the crack to get the pass needed.

The pass resembled the turquoise nephrite imperial jade bi disc carved with hexagonal patterns of various species motifs made from an unknown indestructible material that even those from the Dragon Race, Mecha, and Celestial couldn’t destroy.

Same with the system; no one knows its origin or how it works, rendering those peak races unable to replicate the item.

It has been detected that you possess a pass. [You are visitor no. 1568 of the 999th Centennial Games.]

1568? Isn’t it just the fifth day? The warrior was stunned by the statistics.

It seems like everyone is restless because of some drunken, bald Templar monk’s divination.

[Please enter the name of the Newbie Mountain.]

The warrior spoke, "27."

You have chosen Newbie Mountain No. 27. The system sent you the locations of the spawning points. [Pick the area to your liking.]

There was a long list of areas he could directly teleport to.

[Forbidden Area Boundary]

[Main Mountain Peak]

[Boundary Coastline No. 1]

[Boundary Coastline No. 2]

[Boundary Coastline...]

The black flames inside the warrior’s empty eye sockets flickered when he looked at the choices that weren’t supposed to be there at this early stage.

[Blood Karmic Dungeon: Floor No. 1, 2, 3,...]

[Frost Cavern Dungeon: Floor No. 1, 2, 3,...]

For a dungeon to appear, those candidates must defeat the hidden elite boss first. The warrior didn’t mind this, but when he tried to search for the Karmic Pond, it wasn’t included among the spawning points, which means it must be destroyed.

Their Liege was right; something happened to that egg and the pond’s guardian.

"Vellarheim, if you succeed in bringing up the egg back, his Liege would reward you with large resources to improve your strength and grant you a high rank in his personal army."

Another black-flamed creature, who was wearing a mage robe and holding a long staff made of the skeletons of various monsters, spoke to the warrior before handing him the items: "The council has let you borrow these. If you encounter those from the upper races, take a detour and don’t engage in the fight. You can take down those from the weak races, but make a clean kill lest you’ll attract some trouble."

The warrior looked at the items in astonishment. "Elder, am I allowed to use these? "

"His liege permitted you in case you encountered a difficult situation, but you must not lose any of them and bring the dragon egg back at all costs."

The warrior caressed the three things and nodded. "I will. Please send my utmost gratitude for His Liege." Afterwards, he stuffed the three things inside his armor.

"May the Monarch of War smile upon you." The lich in the mage robe patted his shoulder, wishing him good luck.

The warrior clenched his fists and placed them on his chest, saluting the elder. "May the Monarch of War smile upon you."

[You’ve picked Blood Karmic Dungeon.]

The bi disc, reduced to green, glowing speckles of light, penetrated his armor and entered the warrior’s body, leaving the same pattern that was carved on the surface of the disc a while ago, on his soul domain.

The lich mage stepped back after catching a glimpse of an ancient array appearing under the warrior’s feet, swallowing the warrior in just a few seconds.

The warrior’s vision was blinded by a white light, and before he knew it, the scenery in front of him changed to a huge stone door.

[You’ve arrived at the entrance of the Blood Karmic Dungeon, Visitor No. 1568. Here are the rules...]

[Your stats will be adjusted according to the highest level on this Newbie Mountain.]

[Your pass is only good for 6 hours.]

[5: 59: 59]

The edges of the pattern in his soul domain faded at the start of the countdown, and when the pattern completely vanished, he would be sent out.

The warrior wasted no time and assessed his stats, and when he saw Level 32, he was dumfounded.

What in the world is going on? How could someone from the least undeveloped civilization without an ounce of mana be so capable and become level 32 in just five days?

Could it be this one was the one behind his Liege’s egg’s disappearance?

The warrior fell into deep thought.

There is a big possibility.

In that case, it was a good starting point for his investigation.

"I told you most of those pesky, high-level monsters are gone. Now, we can harvest a lot of resources."

The warrior heard the conversation from a distance and vanished from the spot. A minute later, one could hear spine-chilling screams resonating in the swamps.

[You have killed five candidates. A bounty mark is placed on your head. Resources obtained will be deducted by 40%. The possibility of dropping items after death is increased to 50%.]

The warrior made a snickering sound.

"No please!" The last remaining level 5 player begged for his life when he saw the creature that slayed its team with just a wave of his hand. He could see a black orb on its palm.

[Lich Knight Level 32 (HP: 78,000/78,000)]

There was a splash of blood in the air as the last player lost his breath.

After absorbing the souls of the fallen candidates, the black spherical orb, one of the three things the lich mage elder lent, [Orb of Requiem-Epic-Grade], replayed these people’s memories.

The more he watched, the more he was in doubt. Did these things really happen?

---

Li Chunhua laid the remaining chests on the table and reserved the two legendary-grade chests for last.

There were still the remaining epic chest, the silver chest, the three bronze chests from the weekly disaster, and the secret realm chests.

A colorful gradient of lights spread in the living room as she opened the chests one by one.

From the secret realm chests, she obtained: [Various Blueprints X45], [Food Items X135 kg], [Military Weapons X24 units], and [Household Necessities X58 units].

The three bronze chests gave her three pieces of bronze-quality equipment and armor that increased her defense stats by 5%.

The silver chest gave her a strange thing: [Luminus Talis Lamp, Silver Grade].
