Chapter 183 What's Better Than Gold
It took Vineta and the others some time to get all the gold. Wain didn\'t stop them, he didn\'t mind waiting a bit, and his anticipation was growing with every second. He wanted to know what he would get after he killed each Mimic.
"See you later." Said Vineta and left the gold room.
After she took all the gold coins, all that was left of the mountain was the chests\' structure.
Wain nodded weakly and walked over to the wooden chests. From a total of thirty, there were only nineteen left. Some Wain had killed before, and Vineta opened about five.
There were six rows in all. On the first, there were thirty wooden chests. On the second, twenty-five copper, pewter, and bronze. On the third, twenty iron ones.
On the fourth, fifteen gold chests. On the fifth, ten emeralds. On the sixth, five diamonds. There was also one chest at the very top.
"Okay, it\'s time to start." Said Wain and a dark sword appeared beside him.
Wain decided not to hesitate and immediately attacked all Wooden Mimics. The monsters didn\'t expect to be attacked, so they tried to run away, but Wain was too fast and strong.
The Mimics were in hibernation until someone opened them up. Moreover, some Mimics continued to sleep even after their true identity had already been revealed.
After a few minutes, Wain killed all the Wooden Mimics. Then Wain moved on to the second row of chests and the iron ones.
They were more powerful than the Wooden ones, but Wain was still stronger. He easily dealt with them and the Golden Mimics on the fourth row.
The Emerald Mimics, however, were more serious contenders. These chests were massive, as tall as a man, and Wain felt a formidable aura emanating from them. They were one of the strongest.
Click.
Wain opened the emerald chest, and the monster immediately attacked. Unlike the other Mimics, these had long legs and arms with sharp claws that sprouted from the body of the chest. The Emerald Mimic\'s mouth was full of teeth like green crystals.
Whoooosh.
Emerald Mimic did not run away like the others. The monster decided to attack and devour Wain. Mimic jumped in his direction and swiftly attacked.
Mimic was fast, but not for Wain. He reacted quickly and cut off Mimic\'s left arm with a sharp sword movement. The monster was in pain, but it would not retreat.
The crystals in Mimic\'s mouth glowed brightly and flew at Wain like arrows. Wain retaliated by using the Sign of Lightning and stepping aside. Wain swung his arm, and the dark sword came down on Mimic, slicing him in two.
Whooooosh.
The blue soul flew into his body.
[Soul of Emerald Mimic (Destroyed)
Chronicle: First
Rating: Rare]
\'Hmm, it\'s still a Rare Rating. I wonder what kind of Rating Diamond Mimics will have?\' Wain pondered.
For the next few minutes, he fought against Emerald Mimics. They tried to fight back, and one of them even managed to wound Wain by slicing his arm, but in the end, they all died.
Wain could feel the surrounding energy becoming denser with each passing second. It was a sign that there was an enormous amount of Soul Essence in this Dungeon.
"Great, in that case, I\'ll get something of value." Quite pronounced Wain and moved on to the last platform.
On it was five diamond chests. Each of them was huge, much bigger than a man, and Wain felt that he couldn\'t handle his enemies that easily this time.
Wain didn\'t get greedy and immediately activated the Code of Light and Darkness. He decided to use the first form because it required the least amount of energy of all. After using the Code of Light and Darkness, Wain would be able to use many more skills and other forms as well.
His hair turned white, and he walked over to one of the five Diamond Mimic. Wain wanted to open the chest, but suddenly all the Diamond Mimics woke up at the same time and opened their mouths wide.
Wain didn\'t expect this, but he was able to react instantly. He turned into blue lightning and stepped back. Moments later, Wain threw a dark sword at one of the Mimics.
The monster could dodge this throw, but Wain was ready for it. He swung his arm, and the dark sword cut off one Mimic\'s leg. At the exact moment, the other four Diamond Mimics attacked him.
Wain did not dodge. At the moment, his Stamina and Vitality were at quite high levels because of the Code of Light and Darkness. He could withstand several attacks without damage.
Bam. Bam. Bam.
The monsters pounced on him like wild predators on defenseless prey, but their claws could not penetrate the black and white armor. Several cracks appeared on it, but Wain remained unscathed.
Whoooosh.
Wain\'s silhouette blurred, and the next moment the heads of two Diamon Mimics fell to the ground. The other monsters were surprised by this turn of events, but they didn\'t back down. They attacked Wain again, but he was already behind them by then.
He cut one of the Mimics in two with his sword from bottom to top. To the second Mimic, Wain inflicted several lightning-fast cuts, and the monster fell to the ground exhausted.
When the last Mimic saw how Wain had effortlessly slaughtered its partners, it decided to flee. However, given the circumstances, the monster had no chance of survival.
Wain snapped his finger, and the Dark Sword appeared in front of the monster. The weapon pierced it sharply and sliced it apart.
A pink soul flew into Wain\'s body, and he smiled contentedly.
\'Each of these Mimics had an Epic Rating soul, that\'s impressive. The amount of energy contained in their bodies is enormous. Alright, there\'s only one left.\'\' Thought Wain and headed towards the last chest.
For Soul Essence to become a reward, a person had to kill all the monsters in the Dungeon. However, suddenly the Dungeon trembled. Wain didn\'t understand what was happening because there was still one more Mimic left to fight.
Wain prepared for battle. He thought it was just another hidden trap, but suddenly energy started coming out of the golden walls. It looked like dozens of streams aiming for the same target.
When Wain realized what was happening, he canceled the form and smiled contentedly. This was now the first time he would receive a reward from Dungeon. What\'s more, this reward would be better than the original one, as Wain had killed 105 Mimics in total.
Even one Mimic could enhance the quality of the final reward, so Wain was sure that his reward would be fantastic.
\'Hmm, the crystal in that Dungeon was pink. Does that mean that the award I will receive will be Epic Rating? Perhaps, given the circumstances, the reward will be a Heroic Rating?\' Wain thought.
As time passed, the energy increased, it accumulated into a massive sphere. When all the energy gathered in one place, the sphere began to shrink.
Wain watched this scene with admiration. It was the first time he had seen something like this, and he was shocked, he felt the sight send shivers down his body.
In an instant, the sphere stopped shrinking. This meant that the energy had reached the necessary density level, and now the process had moved on to the final stage.
The sphere split into hundreds of strands, turning into a massive canvas. It hovered in the air so that it touched the ground. It was like a secret booth in an auction house. Wain had to pull the veil down to find out what object was hiding underneath it.
Wain smiled and approached the veil. He didn\'t hesitate and threw it aside with a sharp movement of his hand. The next moment Wain saw his reward.
It was a long, massive, platinum sword. It was just over a meter and a half long. This sword had no guard, only a hilt and an incredibly sharp blade. On the sword\'s base was a black seal with an incomprehensible image.
Wain wanted to take the sword in his hand, but suddenly he trembled. It was because of the immense power of the weapon floating in the air in front of him.
This was the first time Wain had ever experienced anything like it. Then he stepped forward and grasped the sword firmly by the hilt.
[Forgotten Monarch\'s Sword (First Chronicle, Heroic Rating)
An invincible monarch long ago wielded this sword, but the currents of time are merciless. In them, the names of even the most unlikely of personalities are erased, and fantastic events are transformed into dust.
This sword is capable of great power, but only the worthy can wield it. Also in this weapon is preserved a part of the power of the forgotten monarch, but for its activation is necessary to fulfill several conditions.
*This weapon can be used only if the total number of Stats exceeds 700.
*After ten thousand creatures are subdued to you, significant changes will occur with this weapon, and the seal will be erased.
*Strength+30, Agility+35, Vitality+5, Stamina+10. Speed increased by 10%. Attack speed increased by 15%]
Wain didn\'t know what to say. He was amazed, this was the most powerful item he had ever encountered. Moreover, he had never seen a weapon before that required any conditions to use it.
At this moment, his total stats was 787, so the sword didn\'t start rejecting it.
Wain then walked to the wall, gripped the platinum sword tightly, and swung his hand smoothly.
The Forgotten Monarch\'s Sword effortlessly cut through the impenetrable golden bricks. Moreover, there were several cracks in the wall, indicating the great power of this attack.
"Great, this sword is excellent, and it can get even better. I also get so much stats when I use it." Mumbled Wain and headed for the last chest.
Wain didn\'t know why he got the reward before killing all the Mimics, but he had one option. He assumed that the last chest wasn\'t a monster, which meant that Wain could get another reward.
The last chest was strikingly different from the others. It was slightly smaller than a people size. This chest had a high hat pattern on it and various red patterns on the black body of the chest.
Wain moved the platinum sword into the Ring of Damned and touched the chest.
Click.
Wain opened it, but he saw a closed eye instead of a reward. He immediately jumped aside. Wain did not expect that this chest would also turn out to be Mimic. Then Mimic awoke, the monster\'s aura instantly intensified, and Wain felt a suffocating pressure.
Arms and legs emerged from the body of the chest, and the monster stared intently at Wain.
Wain prepared for battle and was about to activate one of the forms, but suddenly something happened that no one could have expected.
"Hmm? Are you human?"
