Chapter 78: 10 Minutes ago, Maise the God’s Performance

“10 rewards?”

“Oh my God. Why would the first person clearing the Dragon’s Lair Dungeon earn such a rich reward?”

“Body Evolution, Skin Evolution, and Hair Evolution. Are these used to increase growth potential? Honestly, I’m jealous.”

“I don’t know if these evolution opportunities can increase one’s potential, but I know that the gold coins are real! A total of 50,000 gold coins.”

“Don’t be too green with envy. If you clear the Dragon’s Lair Dungeon, you’ll get the rewards too. Too bad you can’t do it!”

“Let’s cut the small talk. I want to know how Maise the God cleared the dungeon in the first place!”

“If only the world of Sword and Magic had a live broadcast channel. Then, we can see how Maise the God fought against the Dark Dragon!”

When the players’ voices came out, they switched between the regional and world channel. Yet, no one found any live broadcast channel, which ruined their plans.

However, several people had reported the satisfying performance of Maise the God on the world channel. Because of these narrations, they spiked the interest of many towards Maise the God and his skills. Despite that, they had wanted to see what had happened ten minutes ago.

…

The time was ten minutes ago.

Jiang Bai entered the ninth floor of the Dragon’s Lair with Su Muxue and his two familiars: the Black Dragon Princess, Ikes, and the dragon-descent witch, Vivienne.

Thanks to the memories from his previous life, Jiang Bai could easily find the passage to the ninth floor. He remembered that previously, people kept challenging the Dragon’s Lair Dungeon to find the fastest way for clearance.

In the end, an expert concluded that to clear the dungeon as quickly as possible, the first thing to do was to obtain an immunity buff. The second thing was to find the passage to the ninth floor and defeat the Dark Dragon. The Dark Dragon had a weakness located on its spine. Whenever the Dark Dragon swung its tail, the players could jump up, grab their long saber, and slash it onto its spine.

According to this guide, the final speed for clearing the Dragon’s Lair Dungeon would be around five minutes. Although the people from the Grand Sea Guild interrupted Jiang Bai’s progress and made him take ten-plus minutes to finish, it was an eye-opening record for the entire server.

The world of Sword and Magic gave the players twenty-four hours, after all. In the end, someone popped out and proved with his actions that they didn’t need twenty-four hours but only less than twenty. How could it not stun the people?

After entering the ninth level of the Dragon’s Lair, Su Muxue blinked her doe eyes. Inside, there was confusion. A secret passage? The ninth floor? How did Jiang Bai do it? Though she was puzzled, Jiang Bai didn’t give her any explanations. So she could only hide her doubt in her heart. If her man was this powerful, she should be happy.

“Follow me! We can clear the Dragon’s Lair Dungeon now.” Jiang Bai suddenly spoke.

As she heard his voice, Su Muxue came forward.

In this split second, the sound of a roaring beast that came straight out of hell came from ahead.

Roar!

Su Muxue got startled by the sound and stumbled three steps back. Beside her, Ickes caught Su Muxue. When Ickes caught her by surprise, a strong gust blew towards them.

A pitch-black giant Dark Dragon swooped out of nowhere, and next came into the people’s eyes were a pair of wings that almost covered the whole floor. It flapped its wings non-stop as it soared in the room.

Su Muxue raised her head to study her surroundings. Only then did she realize that the room on the ninth floor was much larger than the previous floors. Not only was it ten times wider, but it was also ten times taller. Because of this, the Dark Dragon could fly freely in its territory.

[Warning! Warning! Warning!]

[Players ‘Maise the God’ and ‘Su Muxue’ have encountered the Dark Dragon, the Final Boss residing in the deepest part of the Dragon’s Lair!]

[Warning! If the players are below platinum grade, please try to escape as soon as possible. Do not try to fight the Dark Dragon. If you do, there is still a chance to escape. If you provoke the Dark Dragon, you shall die!]

…

[Dark Dragon]

[Race: dragon]

[Level: 25]

[Rarity: Platinum]

[Strength: 1,200]

[Stamina: 1,100]

[Defense: 1,500]

[Agility: 800]

[Intelligence: 700]

[Skills: Dragon Breath (platinum) level 5, Dragon Form (platinum) level 10, Dive Attack (platinum) level 4, Dark Storm (platinum) level 10]

“1,200 Strength?” Su Muxue gasped. She remembered that the strength of the dragon-descent witch was only 800. But now, the Dark Dragon had 1200!

However, the dragon was already at level 25, five levels higher than the dragon-descent witch Vivienne. Naturally, its attribute was higher.

“Wait, doesn’t that mean that the dragon-descent witch and the Black Dragon Princess are not a match for the Dark Dragon?” Su Muxue couldn’t help but frown.

In her eyes, if even the dragon-descent witch couldn’t defeat the Dark Dragon, then so couldn’t the Black Dragon Princess. As Su Muxue had no access to the interface of the Black Dragon Princess, she didn’t know that it was a mythical-grade familiar. Otherwise, she would have known that a mere platinum-grade Dark Dragon was nothing she should be terrified of.

Jiang Bai stood at the side, noticing the shock and fear on Su Muxue’s face. He paused to think before he said, “You have dragon resistance. The Dark Dragon won’t cause you any fatal damage for a short period. So you don’t have to worry.”

Su Muxue was nervous and immediately answered, “But it won’t be easy for us to get rid of the Dark Dragon within that time. The dragon has three attributes exceeding 1,000, but my highest attribute is only 300!”

“Rest assured. I have a way!” Jiang Bai gave her a determined look.

In the next second, just before Su Muxue could persuade him, Jiang Bai had already rushed up alone.

“Wait! We should run! Even the system mentioned that if we can’t win, we should run, not provoke the Dark Dragon! Why are you in such a hurry to attack?” Su Muxue shouted as she raised her secret magic staff.

“Cleansing spell, Rock Guard, Healing Spell…” She chanted the spells one after another. Although they couldn’t harm the Dark Dragon, Su Muxue wanted to protect Jiang Bai so that he wouldn’t receive deadly damage.

At this time, Ickes and Vivienne released rampaging auras and were ready to enter the battlefield. They couldn’t watch their master die!

However, the scene in front of them immediately caused them to widen their eyes in disbelief.

“What? The Dark Dragon’s dead?” Su Muxue exclaimed.
