Chapter 159

Chernobyl? Cherno-Yes!- Mutate a player utilizing radiation

Reward- 5,000xp, +1 radiation skill point

Zombieland- Create a zombie

Reward- 5,000xp, unlock undead skin for humanoid mobs

Rank Up!

And just like that, the gap between James and Blank closed even more. Because of those two achievements, James not only now had an additional radiation point to spend, which he was totally going to do, but he also had just ranked up. With that rank up, James was now a Rank 3 Tier 7 dungeon, while BLANK was still Rank 3 Tier 8. Part of James wondered if he would actually be able to take the top dungeon spot during this dungeon war.

”Ha.” James took his moment of triumph in stride as he closed out all three windows that he had opened. Or at least, as best in stride as he could. That rank up meant he now had an additional skill point to spend on his tier three mobs and boss mob. And considering it looked like the players were back near the spawn zone, working to summon additional aid to the battlefield, he needed to act fast.

Already, he could see a group of players moving toward the boss totems, likely intent on summoning another boss mob to join the fray. Interestingly enough, it seemed that in theory, players could summon the same boss multiple times. That fact was evident to James, considering there was currently a 6-hour cooldown for the Terminus, and a 4 1/2hr cooldown for B.L.U. So, players could either spend their essence now, or save it, and try to use the Perfect Cognivore against BLANKs players once again.

”What do you think they're going to do?” James whispered to Rue, even as he began pulling up the different upgrade windows for Grandma Jenkins. Thanks to his increase, he had a skill point to spend on Grandma Jenkins. And if she was going to be used in the war, which he was pretty certain she was, he needed to upgrade her, to best suit the battle to come. If only he had an idea of what to expect. One thing he hadn't seen in the past two days, was BLANKs third floor boss.

”BLANK? Or your players?” Rue wasn't paying attention to James, or the players below. Instead, she was staring into the distance, where they had watched the zombie tumble into the fog of war. James had a feeling she was just as curious as he was with regards to that specific development. Could the zombies spread? Had he unleashed a zombie outbreak? It was definitely an exciting thought. Though one completely outside of his control now.

”Yes.” James replied sarcastically. He could tell her attention had been momentarily pulled away. Of course, sarcasm was always the right answer when it came to vagueness or loss of interest. At least, that was what he was learning from Rue, sarcasm, and sexual teasing, were the best ways to get someone's attention. Great life lessons….

”Smartass.” Rue turned her attention back to him, shaking her head with a devilish grin. See, totally works.

”Better than being a dumbass.” James finished his upgrade for Grandma Jenkins. It had been a toss-up, but he had decided to go with a skill up called What Big Teeth You Have. It upgraded the attack power of Grandma Jenkin's mobs passively by 15percent, and another 5percet whenever Grandma Jenkins was on the field with them. Additionally, it seemed the mobs would get another 5percent increase in damage against any adventurer who was wearing red or had been touched by the thread of fate.

The other upgrade, which James had passed on, had been What Big Eyes You Have. Which would have increased the hit percent for the mobs by 15percent, with similar increases as What Big Teeth You Have. As of yet, James really hadn't seen many times when mobs missed adventurers. So, he figured the extra dps would make up for any missed attacks.

”If they're smart, I would say BLANKs players are either going to summon more boss mobs, or an Avatar. Then, if I were them, I would begin launching small attacks against the players, in order to slowly whittle down the enemy forces.” Rue was glancing once again towards the fog of war, which James noticed seemed to be slowly moving towards them. What irritated him, was he was pretty sure only he and Rue could see it moving. He doubted his players knew that the enemy was slowly advancing on them.
