Alexia
It ends up taking me a several hour nap to recover all of my soul after this rather long and drawn out dungeon run. I would’ve preferred to have moved onto the boss room sooner, but it would be suicide to go into the final boss fight against a monster that is at the cap of Tier 2 and very likely a Chaos Monster while low on soul. And I’m not suicidal.
The bright side is that I still have an advantage in terms of regeneration and rest over the other users in the dimensions. Since my soul regenerates faster and I don’t need to eat or drink, that means I need a bit less rest than they do.
So I can spend more time fighting than them.
Although…
I frown as I leave the Safe Zone and pause right in front of the purple barrier most likely bordering the final boss’s area.
…the former ascendants still have me beat in experience. So I shouldn’t always expect to have the lead.
It’s a little odd to think about after being first in everything up till-
My thoughts cut off when a notification appears in my vision.
Legendary Feat – Player Killer
Artorius del Argon has become the first user within the System to kill ten thousand or more other users!
Oh…
That’s not good.
Then again, if anyone was gonna get a Legendary Feat like that one, it makes sense that it’d be the Primeval Fiend. Not only is he pretty much known for hating all creatures, but the guy’s magic quite literally feeds on the dead. And the higher the Class of the dead, the stronger it’ll be.
So he’s most likely collecting souls to feed his shades right about now.
Glad I’m not in the same Dimensional Block as him.
I sigh at that thought before beginning to reach out for the barrier, only to pause with a frown as another Legendary Feat plays out.
Legendary Feat – King of the Dead
You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.
Vallius Karan de Volt Hellmouth has become the first user within the System to turn one hundred thousand or more beings into their undead servants!
Seriously? Well, whatever Block the lich king is in is going to be infested with undead in the future if it isn’t already.
Absolutely a place I’m gonna want to avoid.
Also, it looks like other people are finally starting to get more Legendary Feats now that some time has passed.
At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if each of the Class S species spread across the dimensions get at least one Legendary Feat over the next month or so. And not just them, but the former Ascendants will likely shoot for some of the Legendary Feats they may have had before the Reset as well.
Which takes away one of my advantages since I don’t really know of any other Legendary Feats to get myself, even if I already have a few of them.
I sigh at that thought before reaching out and trying to cut open the purple barrier, to no avail.
Huh? Is it too tough for me to cut through at my level?
That’s annoying, but it’s not like I’m planning on running anyways. So I reach out and touch the purple barrier, making it suddenly spread out and grab onto me. The thing then pulls me inside where I find some sort of ritual room. One with a small little pyramid at the center with stairs on each side of it and a slope on the corners, with braziers at the top of the pyramid on each corner. The pyramid spans for three different levels with the stairs briefly stopping on each level and having a small walk-around connecting each stair on the edge of the pyramid before the stairs continue to the next level, ending in a flat top.
And at the center of the pyramid’s peak is what looks like a fancy coffin surrounded by several draugr that I haven’t seen before.
Meanwhile I’m standing high above the room with a vast staircase leading down to the main area right in front of me, and braziers occasionally lighting the room on the sides of the massive staircase.
This is fancy.
The undead standing guard at the coffin are completely still, not moving a… bone? Not moving a bone. But their gazes – if I can call the blazing blue fires in their eye sockets gazes – lock onto me the moment I identify them.
{Fallen Draugr Crypt Guard – Level 245}
{Fallen Draugr Crypt Guard – Level 245}
{Fallen Draugr Crypt Guard – Level 245}
{Fallen Draugr Crypt Guard – Level 245}
{Fallen Draugr Crypt Guard – Level 245}
{Fallen Draugr Crypt Guard – Level 245}
{Fallen Draugr Crypt Guard – Level 245}
{Fallen Draugr Crypt Guard – Level 245}
They’re all a higher level than me. Just peachy.
Despite them seemingly staring at me, none of them move. They just continue standing guard at the coffin as I stand at the top of the massive staircase.
I continue looking around the room from my place up here, while still keeping an eye on the undead of course, until I notice some oddities in the pyramid itself. Specifically how some of the stone slabs making up the pyramid look like they are slightly out of place. Both on the walls and the walk-arounds.
More undead are going to jump out of those. I’m absolutely certain of this.
Looking at the very edges of the room, I find various little coffins lining up the walls right behind some flowing ice water just like from that other annoying room. And also just like that room, piranhas jump out of the water occasionally.
I swear the System seems to love piranhas.
Turning my gaze back to the coffin at the center of the room which I’m sure holds the final boss of the dungeon, I take a deep breath and raise my hand.
Then I send a Quantum Bolt flying straight down there.
Let’s see if I can tick them off from up here into starting the battle.
