Chapter 1082 First Place Rewards
"And what might that be?" Shiro asked curiously as Syradil smiled.
"It isn’t a dungeon but I found a gathering of level 800 monsters in the sea. It’s going to be a bit annoying to fight them but with what you have shown, it should be no problem. There are also a few ’forbidden’ zones that have high level monsters and portals to places that can help you train. As for where they are, I don’t have a map so I can only tell you the rough location using muscle memory." Syradil apologised as Shiro shook her head.
"It’s fine. Though speaking of maps, I have another Question. Do you happen to know something called the Beyond?" Shiro asked curiously.
Furrowing her brows, Syradil nodded her head.
"A little. I’m not sure where you heard of it but it’s a special realm that is full of mana. If you think of this world right now as layer one, the Beyond is layer two where all of the mana is being filtered through. Normally, getting to the realm of the Beyond is extremely difficult since there are only a few openings. But I’m guessing when you pierced through several dimensions with your attack during the first event, you pierced through the Beyond as well and destroyed a portion of it. While the makeshift Entrance is probably sealed off, the barrier there will be weaker." Syradil explained as Shiro leaned back.
"But that place is lethal to anything above tier 3. Speaking of which, do you happen to know whythat is?" Shiro asked but Syradil shook her head.
"I don’t know. However, it’s not exactly safe for tier 3 and below either. There are plants there that mutated after your attack which caused the collapse of a few dimensions in that area. They are now more resilient than ever and highly aggressive as well. They’re not something that a tier 6 can handle even outside of that area. But with the environment now, you’ll be dreaming if you actually wanted to fight them."
"But I will say one thing. If you happen to enter the Beyond, make the most out of it. Since your level gain in that realm is increased. The residents there are powerful and resistant to mana. Similar to the Storm Leviathan under Thiria’s control, using mana against them is a no go since they’ll just get stronger." Syradil said as Shiro coughed.
"Actually, one of the level 900 beings that I mentioned is Revel, the Storm Leviathan that was under Thiria’s control. I’ve broken contract with her and he’s healing the wounds to his soul right now."
Hearing this, Syradil paused in surprise and stared at her.
"You broke the system’s contract which rewarded Thiria with the monster?"
"Yup. It was a bit annoying but thanks to my knowledge of the runes used by gods, it’s possible." Shiro smiled as Syradil chuckled.
"You surprise me more and more. Though that does make me curious, what do your subordinates think about this meeting? I’m sure the spirits aren’t too happy to see their ruler conversing with someone that tortured their previous ruler to death." Syradil asked as she rested her chin on her palm.
"Well they have their own thoughts about it. Care to tell me why you did it though? Might make cooperation a little easier." Shiro asked.
"I was bored and she helped one of the Queens that launched an attack on me while we were waiting for the new age to begin. So as a result, I eliminated her as well as the other Queens that participated. Most of them managed to recover and come back but a few died for good. She was one of them." Syradil shrugged as Shiro sighed.
"That certainly makes things more complicated." Shiro scratched her head.
"If you want I can offer her an apology if we are becoming allies. I don’t mind doing that. It won’t do much since the previous Queen is still dead." Syradil shrugged.
"It’s fine, I’ll think of that later. I hope this isn’t a sour topic but I thought Queens had subordinates? What happened to yours?"
Hearing this, Syradil paused for a moment before narrowing her eyes.
Contemplating for a moment, she sat back.
"Their deaths were... unique to say the least. I do have a few allies but I am here alone right now." Syradil replied as Shiro nodded her head.
"Sorry for bringing it up."
"No, it’s fine. Don’t worry about it. So how do you know all of these things? You know the system’s truth, you know about the beyond and even found out about the raid where the invasion would break out from." Syradil asked curiously.
"I’ll be honest, it’s complete luck. I just keep running into trouble." Shiro shrugged as the two of them talked like old friends while waiting for the event to end.
"So when do you want to arrange the meet up to prepare for this raid on the dungeon? I’m not sure how long it’ll take for Revel to recover but I’ll probably take more than a few weeks. Damage to the soul isn’t easy to heal." Shiro asked as Syradil thought about it for a moment.
"We can do this in two months. It should be enough time for me to bring my level up to or at least close to 900 depending on what’s around. But as we have discussed, I’ll contact you once everything is prepared." Syradil replied with a smile.
The two of them agreed on an alliance for now but Syradil would be doing her own thing until the promised time since she has to tie up some loose ends.
This was fine with Shiro so naturally, she agreed on going separate ways for now.
"Before you leave though, I need to remind you. Don’t break barriers that you find or pierce dimensions if possible. They’re there for a reason. There has been a being who wears a raven crest and calls himself ’Merchant’ that’s been contacting Queens and I’m not sure about his objective. However, he only started appearing after you pierced the dimensions, so he probably used that to escape. Be careful of him and do not! And I mean do NOT, take his trade under any circumstance. It doesn’t matter how desperate you are, never agree to his trade. There’s something shady going on so don’t risk it." Syradil warned as Shiro nodded her head.
Bidding farewell with Syradil, she dismissed her avatar and returned her attention back to her body.
"Seems like the talk went well." Nan Tian smiled as Shiro nodded her head.
Recounting the entire meeting for him, she relaxed her body and enjoyed a cup of juice while he digested the information.
"A path to the beyond, plant based monsters, Raven Merchant, the Raid on the moon. You have quite the schedule huh?" Nan Tian said as Shiro nodded her head.
"Yup. I have my work cut out for me. But for now, we just try to get our levels up based on where Syradil told me about the location of good level up spots. Our most pressing matter is definitely the imminent invasion by Rokarn’s army. If we can deal with him before he invades, it’ll be good for us. We don’t know what the Raven Merchant’s goals are so we can’t do much about it. The journey to the Beyond will definitely be hard and it might even take longer than expected so we’ll postpone that. Plus, it’ll be good to see if we can find that dragon again, he’ll be helpful for the raid if he can become an ally." She shrugged while keeping an eye on the cameras that are scanning the areas near the captured zones.
After her soldier’s initial demonstration of their abilities, the Queens have left the area and avoided getting on their radar at all since they understood that there is no chance of them winning right now.
The winner of this event was practically guaranteed to be Shiro so there was no reason to keep risking their necks and manpower like this.
They already felt a sting in their heart after seeing so many tier 6’s die during the previous free for all so they weren’t going to incur anymore unnecessary losses.
As the time ticked down, Shiro smiled once she saw the notification.
[The event has ended.]
First place: Shiro
Second place: Khionah
Third Place: Syradil
Since Khionah had taken the other zones that belonged to Thiria previously, a majority of the points were transferred to her which allowed her to take second place.
With two of the top three being her allies, all of the rewards would benefit her in one way or another. A perfect haul.
[As first place, you get the best reward. The rewards are as listed.]
All of your lifelines that protected a zone gain a unique event title.
Two black grade equipment.
Access to Special Event Store (One Use.)
Reading the final reward, Shiro paused in surprise.
She didn’t expect there to be something like a store page within the system.
Thinking about the potential items, she wondered what was available to be bought.
