Divinity: Against The Godly System

Chapter 106 Treasure

Chapter 106: Treasure

’I didn’t explore this dungeon last time, but I heard that the first team to enter was wiped out. It took a team of level 15 players to clear the dungeon. A few Level 12-13 players facing a level 15 monster reminds me of the time when we faced that dragon,’ Ryder thought as he stared at the slowly lowering HP of the monster.

"Hey! Are you here to help us or just watch! Do something!" the Mage scolded Ryder, who was just standing in the back doing nothing.

"Alright," Ryder muttered as he raised his staff.

"Flame Blast!"

Ryder casted a spell, a ball of fire took shape and flew towards the monster.

It landed on the forehead of the monster, instantly bringing his HP down to 0.

His HP bar that was previously Green had reached 0, but the HP bar again got full as it changed its color to red.

’This should be its berserk mode that activates when it’s killed for the first time. So many teams died because of this. It was really unexpected when I heard about it for the first time as well,’ Ryder thought as he cast another flame blast.

The monster was in berserk mode, and it had managed to kill another warrior before the ball of fire landed on him again.

His HP got down to 0 once more.

A system-wide announcement was made that was hard by everyone in the game.

[The first Grade D dungeon has been cleared]

Every participant in the exploration also got a notification.

[Fame Points: +400]

They also gained equivalent experience from killing the monster, and some of them even got a level-up notification.

Even though Ryder also gained a similar experience, it was nothing for him. He needed to kill monsters in level 40s to gain faster experience, and level 15 was just like a small bump in his experience.

"There’s the box. I think that should be the one your quest talked about," Ryder told Shu as he saw a box at the end of the room.

Ryder looked towards Shu when he didn’t hear a response. As he looked towards them, he saw all of them looking at him with a strange look on their faces.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Ryder asked them all.

"Was that a mythical grade spell? It killed the boss monster in one hit," one of the mages stared at Ryder as she asked.

’Mythical Grade Spell? I remember there was a rumor like that in the last timeline as well about the presence of an all-powerful spell in the game. Even after spending three years in the game, there was nothing about that spell, so it was clear that it was just a false rumor spread by someone,’ Ryder thought.

"That should be it. You got a Mythical grade spell in the game! It’s so powerful!" Another girl commented.

"If you had that from the beginning, why didn’t you use it! 2 of my friends died because of you!" the last remaining warrior, MountainMan, said to Ryder as he blamed him.

"Stop talking! Can’t you see that he saved us all? If he wanted, he could have let us all die before finishing the quest alone," the hunter responded to the warrior.

"Guys, no fighting. Let’s just focus on the rewards!" The Priest tried to calm everyone down.

"That’s right. The treasures are right in front of us. There’s no need to argue!" Shu also said to the others before he walked up to the chest at the end.

"Be careful. There might be a trap as well," Mimi warned Shu.

Shu carefully opened the chest and found that there was no trap inside.

The chest was filled with treasures and artifacts. There were a few gold coins in the chest as well.

He brought out all the items and placed them on the ground. He also put the ring that was found in the box there.

"There are exactly ten things here. No one is allowed to touch them or see their stats or buffs. Choose which one you want. If there are two or more people that want the same thing, we can have a vote to decide the one who gets that!" Shu told everyone.

"I’ll go first,"

"No, I’ll go first,"

"Why do you want to go first, it should be me. I’m the youngest,"

"I’m the only one amongst the warriors that survived. I should go first,"

Shu just facepalmed himself as he saw their reaction.

"Alright. I already thought that something like this would happen, so I made these. Each of these paper slips has a number written in them from 1-12. I’ll remove the 11 and 12, fold the rest and throw them in the ground. Everyone will choose one. We’ll go number wise," Shu told them as he started folding the papers.

"Alright," they all agreed.

Shu placed all the slips on the ground. All of them picked one. Ryder and Shu picked up the last remaining slips.

"I’m first!" Mimi smiled as she showed the number on her slip to everyone.

"Pick one," Shu told her.

"I’ll take the Ring of Increment! I need the excess Mana," Mimi told them as she picked the ring and wore it.

"I’m number 2," The Priest, LightinDarkness said next. She chose a small bracelet that looked as if it was made from silver.

"Incredible! This is the Bracelet of Defense. It increases my defense by 5 percent! Exactly what I needed," She exclaimed excitedly as she wore the bracelet.

Some of the players were visibly jealous of her luck.

The Warrior went next and picked up the headband.

"What the crap is this? Headband of Skulkin? What the heck am I going to do with a 7 percent mana increase?" MountainMan cursed in anger.

"7 percent mana increase? That is useless for you. How about we exchange our treasures? I’ll give you my Ring of Increment in exchange?" Mimi told him.

MountainMan agreed and exchanged the item as the Ring of Increment was able to give him a 5% HP boost.

Just like that, everyone went up one by one and picked up items.

All these items gave them some kind of boost. Some liked them, and some hated them.

"I’m 9, but you can go first," Shu told Ryder.

"Don’t worry about that. Go on, pick what you like," Ryder rejected the offer.

In his eyes, none of these treasures was worth anything.

Shu nodded his head and stepped forth as he picked up the yellow robe.

"The Robe of Invincibility? It can make me unkillable, but the effects only last for 1 second, and I can only use it once a day," Shu described the item and wore it.

The last item that remained was a book.

Ryder picked up the book and got a notification.
