155 Factions and Friendships (1/2)
”Puuuu...”
When Wang Yu had fallen off his pole, he still had about 50% health remaining. Even the [Rippling Wave] that he fired off was overwhelmed by Khmer's [Flames of the Nether].
Looking at the roaring flames that were surging towards him, Wang Yu immediately dropped to the ground, barely dodging the [Flames of the Nether]...
Khmer was roughly the same height as an average human, which caused the [Flames of the Nether] to roughly come from it's waist level. Wang Yu had just barely evaded it.
”I was right!”
Wang Yu happily cheered when he saw that his health was no longer steadily decreasing...
Wang Yu raised both of his hands, firing off [Rippling Wave] in his right hand and [Void Seizing Palms] in his left. Holding Khmer still and forcing his to take [Rippling Wave] head on...
”Kacha!”
Another Mystic Snare had activated, sealing Khmer once again. Not only did [Spirit Charge] and [Flames of the Nether] suddenly dissipate, even its [Hell's Cry] stopped mid scream.
...
Wang Yu quickly launched a violent offensive, taking advantage of Khmer's sealed state.
Just as the three minutes were about to end, Wang Yu used [Void Seizing Palm], pulling Khmer towards yet another Mystic Snare...
With a mere 6 minutes to spare, Wang Yu had finally killed Khmer! Completing his quest. Khmer turned into a black ball of smoke, returning to the altar from which he came.
When Wang Yu had kept the Abyssal Bones in his inventory, rumbling sound tore through the Burial Site dungeon, throwing him out and sending him straight to the Sanctum of Darkness.
Wang Yu silently celebrated as he admired the Abyssal Bones in his inventory. It was over, this ridiculous quest was finally over...
Two days, he had spent two full days completing this virtually impossible quest that had nearly driven him insane...
Right as Wang Yu was about to leave, Apostle Dwayne suddenly appeared before him: ”You really didn't betray my expectations! Noble Martial Artist, you have passed the trial of your predecessor.”
”It was just a fluke!” Wang Yu sighed. If he had not taken the gamble to try to dodge the [Flames of the Nether] by staying close to the ground, he would never have been able to complete this quest.
”Isn't luck a part of strength as well?” Dwayne lightly chuckled: ”Noble Martial Artist, the Sanctum of Darkness is lacking men of talent such as yourself. Do you have any intentions in working for Sanctum of Darkness?”
”Faction... isn't that only available after level 25?” Wang Yu hesitantly asked.
”But you aren't the same as other players. I'll make an exception for you, you can join the Sanctum of Darkness anytime you wish.” Dwayne warmly smiled.
”Er... I'll have to think about it...”
Wang Yu had rough idea of how the factions worked after listening to the other members of the Quan Zhen Sect discussing it at Sky Dragon City previously.
Joining a faction would grant players a decent buff and even give them the opportunity to learn an uncommon skill from the faction... the uncommon skills from these factions were one of a kind. The early a player joined a faction, the more extreme the benefits were.
What was even more enticing, was the fact that killing players from the opposite faction would earn the player faction contribution points. These points could be exchanged for top tier equipments...
Top tier equipments... these things were the most precious items that every player would covet.
But Wang Yu was in no rush to join any faction. After all, the Quan Zhen Sect was located in Twilight City, within the territory of the faction of light. It was hard to say if the other members were willing to leave their home turf to join Wang Yu.
”How's everyone doing?” Wang Yu messaged the guild chat.
”F*ck you! Are you being chased again?” Everyone angrily replied. They had already gotten used to the fact that Wang Yu attracted trouble wherever he went, hence they had assumed that he had gotten himself into trouble once again.
”What are you guys saying? Do you gentlemen think that I am such a despicable person?”
”You mean you aren't?” Fearless mocked.
”About that...” Wang Yu was at a loss for words. Regardless of what he said, the evidence was simply stacked against him.
”Well I have 200 merit points for the faction of darkness now. Apostle Dwayne has invited me to join the faction of darkness, do you guys think I should?”
”An apostle invited you??? You aren't joking right?” Spring Halo asked.
