Ding!
[You completed the Special [Challenge Quest]: [Defeat All The Firebirds and their Phoenix Queen, and Free the Pyramid of their Tyranny!]
[Wonderful job! Thanks to your party's efforts and your great strength, you've managed to defeat almost forty Tier 8 Monsters, and your party even managed to slay such a powerful monster as a Tier 10 Phoenix! This is no little feat. Even if you didn't help much in that at all, because those that slay it are included in your party, you are credited with some of the kill's EXP.]
lights??v?l ??m [Now that the nest and the monsters are finally dealt with. I wonder what dwells inside of that pyramid… You better go take a look! You might find a rather slimy surprise inside. But hurry! We don't want the same thing that happened to the other slimes happen to these, right?]
[You acquired the following Completion Rewards: [20.000.000 EXP] [Alchemical Forgemaster Medallion Fragment 2/3 (A+ Grade)] x1 [Divine Skill Proficiency Potion (A Grade)] x20 [Fire Dragon Flower (A Grade)] x5 [Holy Dragon Flower (A Grade)] x5 [Dark Dragon Flower (A Grade)] x5]
After everything was said and done, a Quest Completion window popped up. I guess a quest was well deserved when we were fighting a Tier 10 Monster and their Tier 8 army that were nesting over the pyramid where another group of Pyuku's family was located.
However what surprised me the most were the rewards! I got Dragon Flowers again after so long since the last time! These always enhance my physical cultivation and dragon heart progression the most! However, I won't greedily eat them all so quickly. I want to plant them inside my dungeons o they can multiply! Heheh.
Oh right, and twenty Skill Proficiency Potions are always welcomed… I wonder if I could discern the ingredients somehow and replicate it. Though that seems rather impossible in many ways. If it was made by the System and all, its components must be materialized out of its internal energy.
"Alice, I wonder if I can recreate the potions the system gives to me through alchemy…" I said, thinking about it.
"Hmmm, I don't know. It might not be possible because it doesn't possess normal components. The ingredients themselves are all synthetized out of using divine power." Alice answered. "It is not a traditional item that is made using the ingredients of your world, sadly."
"Ah, that's a pity. Oh well, at least I can do something with the dragon flowers!" I nodded.
"Yep! Don't lose hope, Sylphy! Also make sure to plant the other seeds you got that enhance your growth." She said. "You've eaten two of each already, make sure to plant some. Even if they won't work on you anymore, it might help your friends."
"Oh, right. I'll do that too." I nodded, checking the items. "I got a second piece for my subclass rank up… Another one to go and we're done with both! I wonder when I can get another Rank Up. Is it calculated or something?"
"I believe so. Though it is all done by the judgment of the Quest System." Alice said. "I can sometimes influence some things, but I have little saying on how these things are judged. But I would assume it has to do with the cultivation growth, most likely… Maybe if you manage to reach Rank 7 you'll get quests that'll get you fragments for more Class and Subclass Rank Ups?"
"I hope so… I was stuck at the normal Classes for way too long." I sighed. "I don't want my friends to end up getting even higher starred classes… Aquarina already surpassed me."
"Well, it cannot be helped." Alice smiled. "Don't worry, Sylphy. It's alright. You're plenty strong yourself! Don't be too greedy."
"I know, I know~"
"Well done kids!" My father greeted us.
"You've done an excellent job! And it looks like Luck grew stronger too? You acquired some new divine beast spirit, didn't you?" Asked my mother.
"Y-Yeah, something like that!" Luck nodded.
"Interesting, we'll have to train your abilities in the future to see how you can unlock the rest." Ninhursag said. "More importantly, shall we move on to the pyramid? We can talk on the way."
"Sure, let's do that then." Nepheline agreed.
"I'm fine with anything, but this heat… It weakens my shadows quite considerably. Let's move on." Shade nodded. "Aquarina, how are you handling things?"
"I'm fine, dad. Don't worry! T-This is nothing… Ugh." Aquarina groaned, sighing.
After taking a last look at my items, we regrouped with our parents' party and then we decided to move directly to the pyramids. We'll have time to eat what we hunted later. Pyuku quickly led us to these ancient ruins. The entrance seemed blocked by magic. Somehow, the inhabitants inside of this place had employed the ancient technology of the god's ruins and used it to protect themselves inside.
"Yeah, it's really closed." My mother analyzed it. "I can assume that the slimes hid inside of here from the birds, right?"
"But why did the birds nested here to begin with?" Asked Aquarina. "What's so special about this place?"
"Most likely the pyramid itself." Nepheline said. "Look over there, Aquarina. That golden metal. There are several dents all around the pyramid."
"Don't tell me… the birds ate this metal?!" Zack gasped. "Is that why their damn feathers were metallic too? Wow."
"Most likely." Shade agreed. "Well, should I get inside then? I'll see what I can do."
"Y-You can get inside?" Pyuku wondered. "But uncle Shade, it's completely-"
FLASH!
However, my father-in-law completely disappeared from the scene, turning into a mass of shadows and sliding through below the gates. We thought it was completely sealed, but shadows is an incorporeal mass, and with his incredibly high cultivation, he was able to force his way through the magical contraption.
Clank… CLANK!
Creaaak…!
And then just half a minute later, the gates opened completely. Allowing us inside. Shade was there but no slime. He had simply used his spells and abilities as a rogue to get inside and unseal an ancient ruin's gate with ease!
"Let's get in. I can feel a lot of living beings deep down."
