Chapter 22 – My First Bronze Equipment (1/2)
Chapter 22 – My First Bronze Equipment
【Spider Queen]（Silver Boss Monster）
Level: 21
Attack: 0-0
Defense:100
Health: 50,000
Skill: 【Spawning Spider Eggs]
Description: The Spider Queen corrodes and feeds on the bones of the ancient deceased, absorbing the strength of the dead to produce unlimited spiderlings. This has filled the cave to the breaking point, therefore the Spider Queen must be killed to contain the epidemic of spiderlings in the South Tomb.
……
I went silent. While examining the attributes of the Spider Queen, I was shocked by its stats. A 0-0 attack value for a level 21 boss monster. What kind of a monster was this? This indicated one thing, the Spider Queen would mass produce spiders, instead of directly attacking me, like a hive.
In the spider hall, besides the Spider Queen, there were also 12 level 21 poisonous spiders. I could probably attract the poisonous spiders to attack me without aggroing the Spider Queen. Then after finishing them off, I could finally aggro the Spider Queen. I could only hope that my healing capacity would be capable of keeping up with the consumption of my health points.
The plan had been set; I immediately started executing it.
I lured one poisonous spider after another, slaughtering them all 5 minutes later. Only the Spider Queen was left. Her huge body trembled slightly, but no spawning had been initiated. She didn’t seem to have been aggroed.
I started carefully examining the hall. The Spider Queen was encased in a huge coffin which touched the wall at an angle, making a 60 degree angle. If I could stand in the corner, only 4-5 small spiderlings would be able to attack me, while the rest would have to wait for their turn. So as long as I could sustain my health, this would be my chance!
Shasha
My foot slipped on some dust, and I slid to a distance of approximately 3 meters from the spider queen, thereby aggroing it. Her huge body began shivering, pushing out a small round green egg. It rotated a little and then ruptured, and out came a small poisonous spider.
I quickly examined its attributes…
【Small poisonous spider]（Ordinary monster）
Level: 20
Attack: 40-50
Defense: 20
Hit points: 100
Description: Spider Queen’s spiderling
……
I was overjoyed! As expected, these small spiderlings didn’t pose a threat. With their low attack and defense, this quest was truly possible! Raising my sword I started slashing at the broodmother, and she shivered, losing 57 hit points. Her defense was so high that I almost couldn’t damage her at all
Meanwhile, the Spider Queen was constantly convulsing and twitching, and mass produced new spiderlings. It sure was fast, and the majority of them were poisonous spiderlings. They soon formed a small group around me, endlessly attacking. Unfortunately for them, each attack only took out 7-8 health, so my level 2 hemostasis could easily sustain me.
Pop!
Suddenly i felt a burst of pain from my ankle and lost over 30 points of health. When I took a closer look, a fire spiderling had appeared. It had an immense attack power of a hundred points. This amount of damaged posed a threat!
The Bramble Thorn sword sliced through the fire spiderling, dealing a fatal blow of a hundred damage. Problem solved. Without worry, I let the poisonous spiders hit me, while I continued to hit the Spider Queen.
As my striking power was limited, even though I was a healer swordsman, I could only deal around 2000 damage a minute. Because the Spider Queens had tough defensive abilities, my attacks were limited to around 50 damage every 1.5 second. This was going to be an extremely long fight.
……
After a full half hour of constantly hitting, the Spider Queen health was down to 8%. However my cloak’s durability was only at 15%. Sooner or later my equipment would break. Hopefully it wouldn’t before the Spider Queen’s health dropped to rock bottom.
Fortunately, the Spider Queen didn’t have an enraged state, so a few minutes later its health was finally depleted.
“Please, drop Silver-ranked equipment…”I prayed deeply for high-end drops, knowing that even Green-ranked equipment was very rare, and that Bronze-ranked equipment was only a luxury for the top players. So how could a Silver-ranked equipment drop?
Whoosh!
My Bramble Thorn sword passed through the forehead of the Spider Queen, causing green slime and blood to splatter in all direction. The Spider Queen’s life quickly vanished and with it her spiderlings also dropped lifelessly to the ground.
I quickly cleaned my face of the layers of venom that had been sprayed on me, before looking towards the body of the Spider Queen for equipment drops. A golden ray emerged, announcing I rose to level 21.
Pop!
Jumping over the corpses, I headed towards the sole two pieces of equipments. One was a pair of cloth boots, which were delicate looking and caused my heart skips a beat in delight. The other drop was a lightly glowing, oddly shaped, brass ring.
I reached out and picked up the equipment, quickly viewing the attributes of the boots
【Flame boots]（Green Tier）
Type: Cloth armor
Defense: 12
Magic Power: +5
Passive: Increases the effectiveness of healing spells by 10 points.
Requirement: Level 20.
……
I was overjoyed at how truly great this item was. First, it gave an extra 12 points in defense. Second, it gave an increase of 5 in magic power and lastly there were 10 extra points for my healing spells!
I immediately equipped the flame boots. They felt delicate and nice – Finally, I was no longer barefooted.
Continuing onto the glowing brass ring, I wiped it clean to reveal a golden surface. The attributes which appeared on the screen gave me a huge ear to ear smile.
【Ring of the Berserker]（Bronze）
Endurance: +12
