443 Start of Battle (1/2)
Specter College's ”army” flooded out from the main entrance not long after the gamers arrived at the college.
There were countless Skeleton Soldiers emerging from the main entrance. Many Skeletons had the labels, such as Educational Specimen used in Specter College.
It was no problem for the gamers. They treated them as monsters if they had a health bar.
Arthur checked the equipment and items in his backpack.
His main weapon was Caesar's Blade, and his shield was Caesar's Shield. He wore a whole set of Caesar's equipment, including Caesar's Breastplate, Caesar's Pauldrons, Caesar's Plate Legging, and Caesar's Metal Shoes.
There was even a Caesar's Cloak.
In Eternal Kingdom, that was the highest level legendary Caesar's equipment.
There were cumulative effects when the pieces of equipment were used together.
[Caesar's Equipment (3): Your damage increases by 10%. There's a small chance of triggering Caesar's Fury, which increases the attack speed by 5%.]
[Caesar's Equipment (5): You will obtain the protection of Caesar's Power. Your defense increases by 10%.]
[Caesar's Equipment (9): During PVP combat, you have a small chance of causing sudden death to your opponent.]
The first two cumulative effects added 10% to both damage and defense. Though Arthur felt that the effects weren't obvious in battle, the third cumulative effect was prominent. On average, one to two sudden deaths occurred after 100 attacks.
The effect disregarded the equipment of the opponent and killed them instantly.
However, it was only for PVP, which was when a gamer fought against another gamer.
As Legendary Equipment, some gamers felt that the effects were negligible. Of course, compared to other, lower level, equipment, it was considered quite good.
Other equipment didn't have effects like an increase in Critical Hits or Mental Focus.
Therefore, Arthur bought his Caesar's Equipment!
When Arthur was checking his equipment, the Skeleton Soldiers walked out neatly from Specter College. They weren't in a hurry to attack the warriors of Eternal Kingdom.
Sherlock didn't order the attack at the Skeletons immediately. He shouted, ”Warriors of Eternal Kingdom, these Specters from the Void think they can conquer the world! Use your weapons and give them a good beating!”
Sherlock pointed his finger forward and said, ”Charge! Warriors, defeat them!”
”Waaaah—!”
When Sherlock gave the order, the gamers obtained a full-service mission:
[Mission Title: Attack Specter College
Mission Description: Lord Sherlock helped Ba.Mannoroth.Con escape the Void army's control. The evil Void army discovered the incident and sent their latest commander, Professor Cabbage, to imprison the good version of Ba.Mannoroth.Con and the Lich, Brainiac. Specter College accumulated enough power to conquer the world, and they are starting world domination now. You have to stop them!
Mission Objective: Make haste! Prevent them from occupying our Stronghold. We have to hold our line! Only if we protect the Teleport Portal will we have a chance to defeat Specter College!
Mission Reward: During the period of protecting the Stronghold, gamers will receive Reputation Points at fixed intervals. Defeating the Specters will also garner rewards.
Mission Failure Penalty: Eternal Kingdom is destroyed, and the game is shut down.]
”Isn't it too realistic to shut down the game?”
”Is the game so willful? The game officials are starting to use this to threaten the gamers?”
”It's scary. The game has only been operating for less than a year, and yet a mission failure will result in shutting down the game. Only 'Dungeon' has such a penalty.”
”Shucks! We have to stake our lives! Otherwise, the game will shut down!”
”What about the Magic Cannons? Why didn't we bring along the cannons?”
”The Magic Cannons are here! Give way! We've just removed them from the Airship!”
”Gundam! Bring out the Gundam!”
”The Gundam is unable to go through the Teleport Portal.”
