Cooldown: 5 Minutes
'The attack requirements for this skill is quite high.'
Izroth was a bit disappointed that the skill only dealt a fixed amount of 200 damage, however, it would still be useful at their current level. Eventually, it would become useless for most players as they became stronger and 2,000 damage turned into a miniscule number.
That was the truth for most players, but for someone like Izroth who had some useful skills, this could be a destructive weapon no matter what level he reached! The Behemoth's Quake was considered physical damage, therefore, it was capable of triggering the effects of things such as Izroth's Blood Stigma, h.e.l.lfire Rampage, and even stacking Lightning Charge.
Not only that, but he should be able to use Essence to increase the damage output on the skill. Who knew how much Essence he would have to spare in the future? To Izroth, this skill had countless uses now and in the near future.
But, since it was a skill that required 500 plus attack power, Guan Yu and Zi Yi were the only other two who were capable of using the skill.
As for the other rare items that dropped, Izroth was unable to use any of them. Or rather, they did not fit his playstyle as they were all plate related items except for the necklace. The necklace was surprisingly a magic based item.
It did not take long for Izroth and his party to divide the loot. The Behemoth Greaves went to Halls while the Behemoth Helmet found its way into Guan Yu's care. As for the Brooding Necklace, it went to Valentine by default since Luna did not want to replace her current necklace.
For the skill book, Zi Yi did not want such a skill as it was unsuitable to her current playstyle. While she may be able to use it, it would be better off in Izroth's and Guan Yu's hands as they were true physical type players.
Guan Yu, however, immediately turned down rolling for the skill book since he had already obtained a rare item.
”Brother Izroth, I would be too greedy if I wanted to devour everything before me. Ahahaha!” Guan Yu said as he let out joyous laughter.
”Then, I won't be polite.” Izroth said with a carefree expression on his face as he immediately used the skill book.
〈System Alert: Congratulations, you learned the skill «Behemoth's Quake»〉
Izroth had added yet another skill to his a.r.s.enal. Not only that, but it was a much needed AOE skill.
Just a few moments after Izroth finished off the Brooding Behemoth Basbus, every player partic.i.p.ating in the event Protectors of Amaharpe received a system alert.
〈System Alert: Wave six of the event «Protectors of Amaharpe» has ended.〉
However, what everyone did not know was that the end of the sixth wave would not be anything that they suspected.
...
”Hm?” Aegis, along with his two party members, had already entered into the Endless Pandemonium Tower and encountered that same mysterious voice as Izroth and his party. He had arrived around ten minutes after Izroth's group and also took part in the sixth wave.
At the moment, Aegis was surrounded by a group of more than twenty players who all had darkened expressions on their faces. Within Aegis' hands was something Izroth would have immediately recognized because he had obtained the same item. It was surprisingly another Vessel of The Endless One!
Beneath Aegis' feet was the corpse of a monster. However, it was not just any monster, but rather an event boss monster!
”Even if you are members of Heaven's Law, don't think that you can come and go as you please within a zone claimed by my Hollow Tempo!” One of the players yelled at Aegis. It was quite clear that they were furious.
That player appeared to be a middle-aged man with a very rustic look about him. He wore dark plated armor and wielded a long curved blade with a chain attached at the bottom. That player was one of the high ranking members of the guild Hollow Tempo.
He was known as Dark Suffice and his position was the equivalent of Blue Oasis' Seven Captains or Cross Haven's Five Great Generals.
When the event boss monster had appeared before them, Dark Suffice was in a good mood at their fortune. However, this party of three players had appeared out of nowhere and s.n.a.t.c.hed the boss from right under their noses.
Not only that but when his guild members tried to stop Aegis and his party, he eliminated them without mercy. How could he not be furious?
”See Aegis? You're hated by everyone! Chichi!” The cloaked figured by Aegis' side said in a teasing manner.
”Hmph, scram while I'm still in a good mood! If you continue to block my path then you'll have to accept the consequences.” Aegis said in a voice full of authority.
However, this only angered Dark Suffice and the other members of Hollow Tempo even further.
”You-” Just as Dark Suffice was about to snap, one of Hollow Tempo's scouts rushed over to him in a panicked manner.
”Boss! Dark Suffice, boss!” One could tell from their voice that they had hurried over as fast as possible. ”We're being attacked! The big boss has said to return immediately with your squad!” The scout said.
”Attacked?!” Dark Suffice was shocked. Who would dare to openly attack one of the top ten guilds? Did they have a death wish? But by the sound of things, it seemed as if it was urgent.
Dark Suffice glared at Aegis as he said, ”Count your luck! Next time we cross paths, hmph, let's just say Hollow Tempo never forgets a face!” He then left with haste along with his squadron of players.
”Empty talk from an empty man.” Aegis said not paying any mind to Dark Suffice's threat.
As Dark Suffice hurried to meet up with his guild leader and the others he had to ask, ”Who is behind the attack?”
”It looks like the work of Sage Falls!” The scout responded.
Sage Falls? They had never been on friendly terms with them, but they could not be considered enemies. Why had Sage Falls chosen to attack them now?
”Tch, what's even going on during this event?!” Dark Suffice muttered to himself.
