Chapter 361: Optimal Solution (1/2)

The strongest party of Players led by Edward, joined by Mufasa, Twin City Cup champion and top Player as well as Leah, who holds the hidden class of Warrior Princess.

Aside from Eleena being absent and Jessica not wielding Sefarim, they were very much the strongest and grandest lineup of Players.

Therefore, the outcome was imaginable when these elites fought the Level 30 shining behemoth bug called Muta the Black Dragon Python.

They were all eaten by the latter.

“There’s no winning here!”

Joe exclaimed, leaning on the respawn platform above the head of the tortoise colossus. “We just can’t deal enough damage whether we used normal attacks or colored skills! Once its head-if you call that a head

-closes in, we would be caught by the tentacles inside its mouth, dragged inside and be eaten! Even sacrificing Mister Marni failed. We are really out of options here…”

Even Leah, who had been very excited about going on an adventure was showing disgust on her face.

She was fine with dying, since was there any Player who had not died before?

On the other hand, having tentacles coiling around you and then slowly melting was so utterly horrible that it would leave anyone with Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

“There has to be a way to clear it. Why else would the God of Games hold this event?”

Edward insisted, his faith in the God of Games remaining ever firm.

That being said, his tone was not convincing.

“I think so too, although we didn’t notice it…” Gou Dan agreed, whether because of his journalist instincts or having noticed some signs in the fight.

“Are you alright, Mister Mufasa?” Jessica was about to console Edward, but when she found Edward being rather spirited, the caring girl turned towards the pensive Mufasa who had not made a sound for a while.

At the moment, Mufasa had taken off his beloved pink flatfish head mask into a normal barbarian helm-it seems that dying just now had affected him quite a bit.

And with his name having been called, Mufasa stopped playing dead and voiced his opinion.

“Do you think we might have mistaken the clearing conditions?’ “Clearing conditions?”

Edward did a double take, before coming to a realization. “Ah, are you talking about sinking?”

In other words, there has to be another way to clear the Dark Sky Stratum since killing every last monster inside was not an option.

At first, Edward assumed that the clearing condition was to dive down a certain depth without getting the monsters’ attention.
