…
As expected of a Stage Five Prophet of Death, the EXP rewarded for this kill was so great that it directly promoted Link to the peak of Stage Three!
If this huge amount of EXP were given to some other [Doomsday Online] players, it would be enough to push them from Stage Three to Stage Four and directly promote them to the top ranks of human fighters!
Due to Link’s special profession, the EXP he required for each level was far more than that of ordinary [Doomsday Online] players. Hence, he didn’t break through to Stage Four directly.
There were advantages and disadvantages. The attribute gain Link got from every level up was multiple times that of an average person! Although he was only at the peak of Stage Three now, his attributes were enough to crush the strongest Stage Five player!
Upon feeling the surge of power within his body, the corners of Link’s mouth slightly rose into a faint smile.
It will be much easier if I fight the Prophet of Death again now!
Just the huge EXP gain alone made Link’s trip worthwhile! Also, this was only one of his gains!
There were still a few pieces of glowing equipment on the ground, waiting to be picked up by Link.
[Doomsday Online]’s monsters always had abysmal drop rates, but it was a really good harvest this time!
Just as Link was about to pick up the dropped items, he heard an announcement in his mind again.
[Ding! Detected that you have killed the Stage Five boss before the Scourge attacked. This is the first kill for this world. You will be rewarded with a title and a world-wide announcement!]
[Ding! Title Reward: Fearless Pathfinder has been added to account!]
[Ding! Announcement imminent. Do you want to hide your personal information?]
Link chose to hide some of his information. It might not be a good thing to gain too much attention at this time. Not that he shouldn’t, but there was no need to.
Soon, all the survivors on the Blue Star received a public announcement.
[First Kill for Stage Five boss Prophet of Death! First kill by: XXX, Profession: Death Judge!]
Many people were instantly dumbstruck, and they froze in their spots as if struck by lightning!
The whole Blue Star then erupted into a frenzy! It was as if 100,000 volcanoes filled with hot magma had been set off by a nuclear bomb!
In the terrifying explosion, crimson magma swept through the sky, shaking the sky with blazing fire as if to burn the sky!
The world went into a frenzy, and shrieks rang out non-stop!
“Holy sh*t, the Stage Five boss was killed? How is that possible!”
“Isn’t the strongest fighter now at Stage Four?”
“Could it be that someone has advanced to Stage Five? How else can they go against a Stage Five monster?!”
“Holy sh*t! Amazing!”
“What kind of god is this? He can kill even a Stage Five boss. Please accept my admiration!”
…
In the East.
Thousands of miles away from Dragon City, inside another city.
A middle-aged man with inscrutable eyes was examining an ancient parchment scroll in front of him. He whispered. “Ancient inheritance, gods’ relics, the legacy of the epoch… These are all opportunities that we cannot miss! It’s a pity that these places are too secretive. It’s difficult to locate them.”
As the system announcement rang out, the middle-aged man’s body suddenly trembled, nearly damaging the ancient parchment scroll in his hand!
His face was filled with shock as he muttered, “Someone actually killed a Stage Five monster at this time?! Unimaginable! Is this the work of that power? Is the Death Judge the God of Death’s heir? We must find this strong person. If we can get him to join our side, he will be invaluable!”
In the West.
Inside a gloomy old castle.
A slender man—with a pale, sickly-looking face and a cold aristocratic aura—held a cup filled with scarlet liquid in his hand.
As the announcement rang out, the man’s heart pounded, and a regal blood aura flashed from his eyes!
It took a while before the demonic blood aura slowly subsided.
“There’s already someone who can kill Stage Five monsters; this world is really getting more and more interesting!”
Northern Europe.
Under Mount Olympus.
A stunning-looking woman, riding a vicious giant wolf, ascended the mountain slowly. When the announcement rang out, her delicate body shook; a flash of surprise flashed across her face, and her blue eyes dimmed slightly.
She had already advanced to Stage Four, Level 7, and could be considered a top fighter. But compared to the one who had killed the first Stage Five monster, she was like a firefly being compared against the sun—insignificant!
The tall, middle-aged man traveling with her smiled and said comfortingly, “Your bloodline is the noblest and most exalted among us. The light of the gods will eventually shine brightly again because of you. Temporary gains and losses are insignificant.”
The young woman looked at the glorious mountain peaks—which had birthed countless legends—and nodded in silence.
South Asia.
A thin young man was clad in coarse clothing. His body was seemingly boneless as he wrapped his arms around a Stage Three monster’s neck.
Boom!
A loud sound was heard.
The head of the monster in front of him was ripped off by him!
He was the heir of Ancient Yoga and a top Stage Four warrior!
As the announcement sounded, the young man stopped for a moment. Then, he violently ran toward the great mountain’s depths.
A terrifying aura exploded there, and there was an abundance of wails from Stage Four monsters!
He needed to continue leveling!
Eastern Japan.
The announcement rang out, and a young man crouched on a thick tree branch suddenly opened his eyes.
A sharp cold aura flashed through his eyes like the harsh light from a sword!
“Stage Five monster first kill? How can Amaterasu’s bloodline be behind others?”
“This Death Judge must be found as soon as possible. The blood from his neck should be able to enhance my Demon Blade Murayu greatly!”
…
The world had erupted into a frenzy!
Countless survivors were speculating about this [Death Judge]’s identity.
The man who started it all was looking at the title he had earned with no expression at all.
Title: [Fearless Pathfinder]
Introduction: With courage and fearlessness as the blade, swing your sword at the endless mists and darkness! Swing your sword!
Additional skill 1: [Fearless] (Passive Skill): You will be fearless. Spirit resistance +300% (immune to most mental attacks and will never fall into madness or despair). Each time you level up in the future, you will gain an additional ten points to all attributes.
Additional Skill 2: [Pathfinder] (Passive Skill): In battle, the first time Health Points drops to zero, automatically restore 30% Health. Cooldown: 12 hours.
As indifferent as Link was, a spark of joy flashed in his eyes when he saw this title’s effects.
These two passive effects were really powerful! The first passive skill, [Fearless], could be considered a godly technique against powerful monsters! Many powerful Undead monsters from the abyss were able to influence and break the human spirit!
Among them were some high-level beings whose very breaths were enough to drive people mad!
Now, Link didn’t need to worry about that at all. Furthermore, he would gain extra attributes every time he leveled up!
[Pathfinder] gave him one more life than others in battle!
The first kill reward was really generous!
Link couldn’t wait to check out the items that the Prophet of Death had dropped…
