Chapter 77 Relic of the Forsaken, Source of Poison Core
Chapter 77 Relic of the Forsaken, Source of Poison Core
Alex grinned as he examined the faintly glowing relic now pulsing with life in his hands.
[Relic of the Forsaken (Passive Artifact)]
[Effect: You will start gaining 1000 Mana Points per second while this artifact is active.]
[Note: it is always active, as it is stored inside of your system.]
The mana problem was a thing of the past.
With the Relic of the Forsaken, Alex could fully replenish his mana in less than a minute.
In his mind, he couldn't help but marvel at the reward; it was the kind of advantage other players could only dream of.
Completing the hardest Tier 3 advancement task with an SSS-Rating had granted him something formidable.
Without this exceptional rating, the reward would've been nothing special, and he knew that was true for most players.
Once upon a time, he had been one of those players, grinding for average rewards and modest gains.
Closing down his status panels, Alex turned back to the massive, slimy remains of the Source of Poison.
He had already extracted dozens of attributes points from the other monsters, so all that was left was the big boss.
He knelt beside it, reaching out and placing his hand on its surface.
"Extraction," he whispered.
Ding!
[You have extracted "Source of Poison Core" (Mythical)]
[Description: An extremely toxic core that can be infused into a weapon to grant it the "Extreme Poison" effect. It can also be used for ########]
"Hm…" Alex raised an eyebrow as he read the item description.
Just like with the Howler's Soul Shard, the final part was mysteriously redacted.
He filed it away for later and mentally categorized it in his "Important Items" list, a personal inventory he'd created to track the treasures he would use later for sure.
...
[Important Items: Mage Tower Token (Artifact), Vial of Undead Blood (Legendary), Howler's Soul Shard (Legendary Material), Undead Land Secret Area Token (Artifact), Source of Poison Core (Mythical)]
[Level: 61 (3,278/70,000)]
Oh, and yeah, once reaching the third tier, you actually start needing 10,000 experience points between each level.
It was an insane number, but when you knew about what was coming next, leveling up wouldn't be so bad.
"Seventy thousand…" Alex muttered as he noted the massive experience gap needed for his next level.
The path to Tier 4 was grueling, but the progress he'd made with this secret realm felt like proof he could keep going.
It was time to move forward.
He didn't know if he could take on the [Spider Queen] now, but he could always try with a fully-formed undead army.
With only two days left to save her, he couldn't afford to waste time.
He could maybe just wait for this [Potential Extraction] new perk's, since it would only be 1 day and a half in the real world, but it seemed like a waste.
Alex needed to fight until he won, somehow.
A faint blue prompt flashed in his vision.
[Do you want to leave the "Source of Poison" Secret Realm?]
"Yeah."
Ding!
With a flash, Alex's body was engulfed in blue light, and he was instantly transported back to the heart of the Toxic Forest.
The air was sharp with a lingering acrid smell, and the familiar twisted trees surrounded him.
The absence of the Toxic Basilisk, slain earlier, left an eerie quiet.
"Time to head back to Bell City," he murmured.
He opened his map, pinpointing Bell City and activating his [Fast Travel] ability.
The teleportation menu allowed him to jump directly to the location.
A bright light surrounded him as he reappeared in front of Bell City's entrance gate.
[FateBreaker: Still fighting?]
The reply came a minute later.
[StarPillow: Yeah! I'm managing fine thanks to your bow!]
Actually, Alex gave her one of the most powerful items available in the game as of now because of his [Potential Extraction]
After all, it granted it +5000 spirit, and guess what, as the arrows are immediately infused with the [Ice] effect, then it means she deals a base damage of 7,500 at least.
And if she uses the [Ice Torrent] skill, she can deal up to 15,000 at once to dozens of monsters.
Basically, she was strong enough to easily take care of herself and level up.
In the end, he just decided to leave [Universal Descent] for now and go back to reality.
There was nothing else to do.
With his enhanced stats, huge mana pool, and the possibility of summoning all of his undead, he was sure he could somehow deal with the queen.
[Do you want to leave 'Universal Descent'?]
Right as he was about to click on yes, he saw dozens of players rush toward [Bell City], seemingly in a hurry.
"Quick, the [World Association] has opened!"
"Yeah, they give quests that can help you get items, levels and money!"
"Let's go fast before all of the good tasks are taken!"
Alex heard several players talk, but he just smiled: he wasn't interested in that anymore.
He clicked on [Yes], then flashed in a blue light before disappearing.
...
Back in the real world, Alex rubbed his eyes as he appeared in his bedroom.
The game had felt more intense than usual, especially after his loss against the [Spider Queen].
But now, he felt a little more confident in his upcoming victory.
[Alex: I'm back in the real world.]
He sent the message to Alice just to inform her.
[Alice: I'm going to fight the boss at the 7th floor, then I'll come!]
"Oh, so she can fight the monsters up until floor 7 alone, huh."
This was good progress, especially since she was only level 52 when he left her.
Alex spent his time resting while watching TV for an hour or so.
After a while, he heard a sound coming from upstairs, and a few seconds later, Alice went down, seemingly tired.

"I don't know how you keep fighting everyday like this," she sighs, sitting on the couch, "I am so tired..."
"Hm, you'll get used to it."
Well, you're kind of forced to if you want to survive in the future, but for now, it is only the [Build Power] part of [Universal Descent], so it is fine to be tired.
"I know a way to not feel tired anymore, though," Alex mischievously smiles as he lunges on Alice, pinning her down.
"..." her face instantly turns red, her eyes having a hard time locking into his, "I-I want it too..." she mumbled.
Alex was a righteous man, so he would never do something the other party didn't like.
Well, that is except if he is under the effect of the [Undead King Curse] or that he straight up dies if he doesn't do it.
"Hm~" Alex reached under Alice's pants.
"Holy shit, you're already soaked," he removed his fingers, and as expected, they were wet with liquid.
"This... fighting makes me feel... weird," Alice tried to hide her expression, though Alex could clearly see what she meant.
Without wasting time, he removed both of their clothes, feeling pent-up after all of this fighting.
[By the way, having sex regularly actually decreases the odds of you receiving the side effects of the curse.]
A panel appeared beside him, and it made him smile.
"Well, let's dig in," Alex grinned as spread out Alice's slender legs and began to lick her clitoris.
"~~~!" the wave of pleasure she felt at that moment was indescribable.
It was as if the more she had sex with Alex, and the more he took the lead, the better she felt.
She was already pretty much addicted, but if this kept going, she might never be able to go back.
And yet, she didn't stop him, each lick of his tongue bringing her closer to heaven as she climaxed over and over.
"I love... it~~" she gasped between moans.
After a while, Alex's bulge became unbearable, and so, removing his face from her perfect vulva, he quickly got ready to insert it raw, like always.
"I'm gonna make sure you don't feel tired after what I'm about to do," Alex grinned.
Alice's eyes widened as the shadow of Alex's mighty member appeared on her face.
He lowered it, placing it quite literally on her face, meaning that she could sniff it, her eyes rolling back by the scent.
"Beg for it, come on."
"I-"
He began to rub his member against her face, saliva dripping from her mouth.
"Pl-Please fuck me..."
"No need to ask me twice," Alex smiled as he lowered himself and inserted everything he had inside of Alice.
She was as tight as ever, her hole always ready to take him in, already pretty much having acquired his shape forever.
"~~~," the feeling of Alex's manhood reaching her womb made her squirt a lot of juice, but even then, the man didn't stop, shaking his hips and poking her.
It was until ten minutes later that he finally released everything he had inside of her.
"Phew..." Alex wiped his brow.
Alice's eyes were so rolled backed it was almost impossible to see them.
"Heh, we're not even close to done," he smiled mischievously as he went for round 2.
This kept going for hours on end.
