Chapter 62: The Sun-Chasing Event Ends, Jeremy Played Dirty!
Chapter 62: The Sun-Chasing Event Ends, Jeremy Played Dirty!
Dozens of wind blades struck the shield, exploding one after another, but none managed to harm Jeremy.
Although the Soul Guardian's defensive capabilities weren't particularly strong, they were more than enough to handle low-level wind blades.
At the same time, Jeremy focused his thoughts.
"Swish, swish, swish!!!"
The countless ice arrows obeyed his command and shot toward the Skyrakers in unison.
The three leading Skyrakers let out angry roars and raised their bone shields in an attempt to block the attack.
However, the moment the ice arrows collided with their bone shields, the three Skyrakers immediately regretted their decision.
"Bang, bang, bang!!!"
The bone shields instantly shattered into pieces!
The supposedly sturdy bone shields were like paper in the face of Jeremy's ice arrows, easily pierced and broken!
With their shields destroyed, the three Skyrakers were left completely exposed, with no protection whatsoever.
As they looked at the overwhelming barrage of ice arrows shooting toward them, their eyes were filled with shock.
They hadn't expected their shields to fail so miserably.
Before the three Skyrakers could react further, countless ice arrows reached them.
Blood splattered everywhere as the sound of flesh being pierced echoed repeatedly!
In just a blink of an eye, the three Skyrakers were turned into pincushions by the ice arrows and fell from the sky.
By this time, the rain of ice arrows had also reached the other Skyrakers.
"Bang, bang, bang!!!"
The sky was filled with the sound of ice shards exploding.
As the icy fragments scattered, the Skyrakers fell from the sky like rain!
[You have killed a Level 24 Skyraker (Normal), gaining 4,031 experience points!]
[You have killed a Level 26 Skyraker Warrior (Elite), gaining 21,919 experience points!]
[You have killed a Level 29 Skyraker (Commander), gaining 121,000 experience points!]
...
[Skill "Seven Sins - Gluttony" activated! You have gained 442 random attribute points!]
A series of kill notifications appeared.
As a massive amount of experience flooded into his body, Jeremy's body began to glow with a golden light.
[Your level has increased to 33. You have gained 40 free attribute points!]
[You have gained class-specific attributes: Strength +50, Spirit +50, Stamina +25, Agility +25!]
Meanwhile, seeing the heavy casualties among his minions, the Skyraker Lord couldn't sit idly by any longer.
"Roar!"
Letting out an angry roar at Jeremy, it wielded its bone spear, flapped its wings fiercely, and turned into a streak of light, charging swiftly toward him!
Facing the ferocious charge of the Skyraker Lord, Jeremy remained cold and stern, a dark gleam flashing in his eyes.
In the next moment, a violent wind arose!
"Whoosh!"
A fierce black hurricane suddenly appeared in the sky!
"Wind of Calamity!"
The black wind howled past, like a black sandstorm, enveloping the Skyraker Lord and all the Skyrakers in the sky!
The sharp, agonized screams echoed above the Moonlight City.
In just a blink of an eye, the Skyrakers caught in the Wind of Calamity had their skin suddenly wither and wrinkle, as if something had drained them dry.
Even the Skyraker Lord, as a BOSS, was affected. Both its movements and reactions had noticeably slowed.
Skyrakers fell from the sky one after another; the effect of the Wind of Calamity was even better than Jeremy had anticipated.
Seizing this golden opportunity, Jeremy wouldn't let it slip away.
While the Skyraker Lord was still under the negative effects, Jeremy waved his staff.
A dark red flame appeared in the air.
The flame quickly expanded, forming a dark red fire serpent, several meters long, which ferociously shot toward the Skyraker Lord.
"Boom!!!"
Dark red flames shot up into the sky, a deafening roar echoing through the air, and the terrifying power even distorted the atmosphere.
In just the blink of an eye, the Skyraker Lord was completely consumed by the raging flames of sin and vanished without a trace.
[You have killed a Level 30 Skyraker Lord (BOSS), gaining 458,000 experience points!]
["Seven Sins - Gluttony" activated! You have gained 100 points in Constitution!]
Seeing their leader slain by Jeremy, the remaining Skyrakers let out panicked cries.
Some of them flapped their wings and fled, showing remarkable familiarity with this scenario—it seemed they had encountered Jeremy before.
But this time, Jeremy wouldn't let them escape so easily.
His eyes glowed with a dark red light, and a scorching flame burst skyward.
"Flames of Sin!"
Suddenly, the Moonlight City was bathed in a dark red hue.
Everyone looked up at the sky in astonishment, their eyes widening in shock.
Meteor-like fireballs streaked across the sky, hurtling toward the Moonlight City tower with fierce momentum!
"Boom, boom, boom!!!"
A series of explosions erupted, painting the sky in dark red flames!
In an instant, the Moonlight City tower became a sea of fire, and both the tower and the Skyrakers were immolated by Jeremy's blaze.
Waves of experience poured into his body. Despite the Skyrakers' lower levels, their sheer numbers made up for it.
Before long, Jeremy's body glowed with golden light once again.
[Your level has increased to 34. You have gained 40 free attribute points!]
At the same time, tiny sparks of light flowed into his body.
Granting him nearly 300 random attribute points.
Jeremy put away his staff and picked up all the equipment, items, and energy crystals dropped by the monsters.
Most of the gear was ordinary, except for a pair of platinum-level boots dropped by the Skyraker Lord.
[Item]: Skeletal Boots
[Type]: Boots
[Level]: Platinum
[Quality]: Blue (Common)
[Attributes]: Agility +250, Agility +10%
Though the boots lacked any special skills, the 250 agility points and 10% agility boost were quite impressive.
Jeremy equipped the boots, increasing his agility by over 400 points.
While the equipment drops weren't abundant, the energy crystals were plentiful.
He collected seven Tier 5 energy crystals and one Tier 6 energy crystal from the Skyraker Lord alone.
Jeremy kept one Tier 5 energy crystal for himself and stored the rest in his inventory.
Next, he took out a platinum treasure chest and opened it directly.
[Ding! You have opened a platinum treasure chest!]
[You have triggered a hidden mechanism!]
[Rewards obtained: Awakening Scroll*1, Tier 6 Energy Crystal*1!]
...
"An Awakening Scroll?!" Jeremy rarely showed such surprise on his face.
When players reach level 50, they face the opportunity for a class awakening.
This awakening can fully unlock the potential of their class, marking a significant leap in their power. Many ordinary players catch up to the extraordinary ones during this phase.
However, the difficulty of awakening is quite high.
Reaching level 50 alone isn't enough, players must meet two additional conditions.
First, they need to max out all their skill levels. Second, they must undertake the Awakening Trial.
The ticket to this trial is the Awakening Scroll.
The main bottleneck for players attempting to awaken lies in the scarcity of these scrolls.
They can only be obtained through treasure chests, with no other means available.
This also means that those who pass the Awakening Trial are either the lucky ones or the big spenders.
"Clearly, I'm one of the lucky ones!" Jeremy thought gleefully as he looked at the black scroll in his hand.
With his leveling speed, reaching level 50 wouldn't take long.
After all, he still had an intermediate trial invitation, which would yield a substantial amount of experience.
The only slight hassle would be gathering enough energy crystals. However, with The Eye of Omniscience, maxing out his skills was just a matter of time.
Jeremy could hardly wait to see how much the hidden class, Blasphemer, would improve after awakening.
Just as Jeremy was lost in these thoughts, a sudden bell chime echoed through the sky.
Jeremy's heart skipped a beat. He realized it was already noon.
The event was about to end!
Looking up, he saw that the sun in the sky had inexplicably turned red.
The black pointer on the sun's face now pointed to the second rune!
Simultaneously, a notification appeared before players worldwide.
[Ding! The "Sun-Chasing" event has ended!]
[Congratulations to player "Jeremy" for being the winner of this event!]
[Ding! The "Sun-Chasing" event has ended!]
[Congratulations to player "Jeremy" for being the winner of this event!] ...
[Ding! The "Sun-Chasing" event has ended!]
The notifications kept coming, and every level 30 player's face turned grim.
Because up until now, they still hadn't completed their second class.
Someone couldn't help but exclaim, "Jeremy really plays dirty!"
By now, everyone was convinced that the shattered Class Change Statue was definitely related to Jeremy.
Otherwise, why would the statue break right after Jeremy completed his class change?
It was obvious—this guy broke it on purpose to secure his spot as the top-level player!
Thinking of this, a group of level 30 players was infuriated.
However, these players were somewhat resigned.
Because they knew that even if they had managed to complete their second class, they wouldn't have a shot at being the top-level player.
The most enraged, however, was Kean.
When Kean saw the event notification, his eyes turned red with fury.
If he had no chance to claim the top spot, that would have been one thing.
But Kean firmly believed that if it weren't for the inability to complete his class change, he could have easily surpassed Jeremy!
And now, he could only watch helplessly as Jeremy enjoyed the fruits of victory that should have been his!
This overwhelming sense of disparity was something he couldn't accept.
With a twisted expression and seething with murderous intent, Kean snarled, "Jeremy, I'll make you hand over the divine artifact willingly! What belongs to me, no one can take away!"
He had already dispatched a large number of people to the Moonlight City.
Kean intended to have them bring back both Jeremy's head and the divine artifact!
