Chapter 228 Elite Monster
Chapter 228 Elite Monster
[Camille Light, the Saintess?! She's his sponsor?!]
[That's impossible! He's lying again!]
[This guy is full of lies!]
The viewers watching Luna's broadcast did not believe what Leo said. However, after some of them searched it up, they were immediately slapped in the face with the truth.
[It's true! I just took a look at the database! Camille Light is truly his sponsor!]
Although all Adventurers' information are public, it's only to the extent of their name, rank, and the name of their sponsor. If one wanted to look deeper into an Adventurer's background, they would need to have access to the private database, and only the Adventurers' Guild and the Adventurers' Bureau would have access to that.
Of course, the date they first became an Adventurer is also available, and when the viewers saw that, they were baffled once again.
"What is your relationship with Camille Light?" Luna asked him a moment later.
"She's something like a friend and a guardian, I guess."
"Hmm… Is that so…"
"Can you tell me a little more about your magic? What's your strongest magic spell? What is your favorite?"
"My strongest magic spell? Logically, it should be my highest tier magic spell, but I feel like that's not right, so I can't really say. My favorite magic spell has to be Black Bullet. It's one of my first magic spells and it's very versatile." Leo said.
Since all magic spells have a limit to how strong they can be for ordinary people, it would only be natural for their strongest magic spell to be their highest tier magic. However, that wasn't the case for Leo, who seemed to have the ability to overcharge his magic spells to heights that defies logic.
"What do you think of dark magic? Many people find it ominous since it reminds them of vampires, and some are even hunted just for being able to use dark magic. Do you regret being born with a dark magic affinity?" Luna asked him with slightly narrowed eyes and a penetrating gaze.
"Why would I feel regret?" Leo sneered. "I think dark magic is great. Even if it's a common trait for vampires, there's no reason to discriminate against a type of magic because of such a reason. Those who think otherwise are quite foolish if you ask me."
A wide smile appeared on Luna's face after hearing his answer, and she spoke, "That's a fine answer. I—"
The ground suddenly began shaking, halting Luna's mouth.
"What's happening?" Leo looked around trying to find the source for the shaking.
Eventually, he found the source, and many people at the Skeleton Graveyard were staring in the same direction at the same thing.
In the middle of the Skeleton Graveyard and about a mile away from Leo's location was a colossal skeleton that stood as tall as a skyscraper, and it was wielding a massive sword and golden armor.
"Is that a boss? Are we close to clearing this raid already?" Leo mumbled out loud.
"Are you seeing this my dear viewers?! That's an Elite Monster! And it's even an S-Rank monster!" Luna said in an excited voice.
"Elite Monster? Didn't you mention them before?" Leo asked her.
"Yes. They're basically special monsters that have a super rare spawn rate. These monsters have modifiers, similar to a boss inside a Labyrinth. They can also give monsters a unique appearance and abilities that normal monsters don't have." Lilith explained.
"They're very powerful. Don't underestimate it."
After the Elite Monster spawned, essentially every Adventurer in the Skeleton Graveyard began rushing towards the Elite Monster to take it down.
"Leon! What are you waiting for?! Let's go get that monster!" Khrome said as he and the others from the team rushed over.
"Elite Monsters have a special mana core that will fetch for hundreds of millions, especially if the monster is an S-Rank monster! However, Elite Monsters will also de-spawn after a limited time, so we must kill it before it disappears!" Lydia said.
Leo raised an eyebrow and said, "Even if that's true— that it's worth hundreds of millions, how do we decide who gets to keep it? The other Adventurers will probably try to kill it as well."
"The reward will be split amongst those that fought it. Once we kill it and collect the mana core, we will give it to the Adventurers' Guild. They will review the video footage of the fight and determine who will get the reward. It's not a perfect system with many flaws, but it's the best one we've got." Trent explained.
A mysterious smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he thought inwardly, 'If I kill it and use the Magic System to collect it, won't I be able to monopolize the whole thing? And with so many people there, nobody will know what happened to the mana core. In fact, they will probably think it's some kind of rare phenomenon! This is perfect!'
"Aright! Let's hurry up and kill that Elite Monster!" He spoke out loud a moment later with an enthusiastic look on his face.
"You… What are you planning?" Lilith asked him after noticing his weird behavior.
Thus, Leo and his team began making their way towards the Elite Monster in the distance.
"From its appearance alone, that Elite Monster appears to be a variant of the S-Rank monster Skeleton Warlord." Khrome assessed the Elite Monster as they approached it.
"I've only fought it once before. It has tremendous strength and above average speed, but it lacks any magic at all. However, that might no longer be the case now that it's an Elite Monster." Trent said.
"What's the plan?" Leo asked.
"It's simple. Stay as far as you can and hit it with your magic until it falls." Lydia said.
"It sure sounds simple enough, but is it really going to go so smoothly?" Leo wondered out loud.
Sometime later, once they arrived at the combat site, Leo and the others started showering the Skeleton Warlord with their magic spells.
