28 Preemptive Strike (2/2)

Demon Slash: Long-range crescent-shaped slash. Base Damage: 500 +180% attack damage.]

Looking at the stats, Shesmu couldn't help but chuckle. It's official, this game is brain-damaged.

”Hmm, can someone explain to me one thing? Was O9 fucking drunk when they made this fucking game? This isn't a sword, this is Jesus H. Christ's holy stick!”

Leo waited for Ryan to finish his rant before adding in. ”Holy fucks in heavens, Jesus would be proud if they had a stick this big. This beyond just broken”

Hearing Ryan's and Leo's rant, Shesmu couldn't help but laugh. ”Damnit guys, this is too fucking funny. Holy shit!”

Ryan and Leo joined Shesmu in his laughter.

”Oh well, O9 might be high on some weed, but at least we're the one benefiting.”

”Yeah, this time. Wait until we reach the main city and everyone is styling on our asses with their divine equipment. Oh, I have a boot that lets me teleport and boosts my attack speed by 1000%. Oh, I have a sword that can cut through space and time and disconnects you with a slash. Fuck me sideways!”

Leo's rant made Ryan laugh his ass off. ”Hahahaha, damn dude. This is too funny! Honestly, I wouldn't even be mad if some weird crap like that happened.”

”Dammit guys, let's get serious here, okay?”

Hearing Shesmu's intervention, Ryan grinned like a maniac.

”Oh, Mr. Broody McBrood doesn't wanna have fun? Come on, give me a smile like the one you showed before.” Ryan stretched Shesmu's cheeks to make his lips smile. ”Here, much better!”

”You little shit.” With one pinch to the forehead, Shesmu pushed Ryan away from his face.

”Haha, okay okay, I'll stop teasing you. We need to decide on who is gonna take this sword though. I can't since I'm an assassin.”

”Do you still need to ask about that?” Leo asked. ”I would be beyond embarrassed if I took the sword. Just give it to Shesmu already, goddamnit.”

Shesmu was embarrassed. Hearing praise from someone he considered almost his equal just a few days ago didn't sit right with him. However, he couldn't say anything to retort back. The facts were clear.

”Damnit, okay I'll take this sword, but whatever drops next is yours, the both of you.”

”Deal,” Ryan responded.

”Yeah, let's do that,” Leo added.

”Okay, if we no longer have anything to do here, maybe we should exit the dungeon.”

”Yeah, let's do that,” Leo answered Shesmu.

The party then made its way towards a blue portal that stood before the throne. No one had seen it appear, and it certainly didn't exist as the party was fighting the boss. However, no one paid it any heed. They just walked toward before Shesmu touched it.

[Congratulations, your party was the first in the world to conquer the dungeon: Goblin's Den!

Please choose a party name!]

Shesmu thought for a second before asking Leo and Ryan for their opinion.

”Hey guys, we're the first to clear this dungeon. It wants us to choose a party name, what do you think?”

Leo thought for a second before blurting out, ”Blazing Blades?”

”Lame,” Ryan groaned.

”Hey, if you have a better name, say it!” Leo retorted.

”Wait a minute, I'm thinking,” Ryan pondered for a second before adding, ”Black Moon.”

When Shesmu heard this name, he was surprised. Black Moon, huh? Interesting name choice.

”Black Moon, I like that. Sure, I can go with that.”

Seeing that everyone agreed on the same name, Shesmu concluded, ”So Black Moon it is.” He then thought, Team name is Black Moon.

After he confirmed the name, multiple notifications flooded Shesmu.

[Congratulations on being the first party to conquer Goblin's Den in Pliyx Stal Kingdom.

Congratulations on being the first party to conquer Goblin's Den in the world.

Congratulations on being the second party to conquer a dungeon in Pliyx Stal Kingdom.

Congratulations on being the tenth party to conquer a dungeon in the world.]

Attached to these messages was a list of rewards, but Shesmu didn't care at all about that. He immediately thought, Show dungeon ranking for Pliyx Stal Kingdom. In front of Shesmu, a list containing two teams appeared.

1-Dawn's Resonance

2-Black Moon

Looking at the name plastered in gold at the top of the ranking, Shesmu's eyes turned cold. His heart flared with the wrath of a dragon. Dawn's Resonance. Just wait for me, I'll be coming for you.
