Dark Eldar

The mysterious "Temple" is solemn and imposing. The rare elite Barbarian King chooses to walk at the back of the group, responsible for bringing up the rear. (Dungeon Difficulty: Five Stars)

Senior strategist Ludar led the way, scouting ahead. He enjoyed exploration, though it wasn't his natural talent. Loki, while gifted in exploration, never showed much interest in maps like the Temple, and he disliked group exploration. He preferred venturing into dungeons solo for treasure hunting, or paying to "feign death" (a pay-per-use, high-cost method). The elite monsters, groups of elite monsters, guardians, mini-bosses, and patrolling soldiers in the dungeons were always wandering around, and Loki would occasionally take them on one-on-one.

This is a five-star difficulty dungeon, and the boss inside is no pushover! If Loki were to explore this place alone, it would be tantamount to suicide. Even if he brought a support or healer, their damage output would still be far from sufficient.

"Lord Ludal, be careful!" the floating demon whispered.

The highly experienced, level 999 strategist, Ludar, cautiously teleported back to his original position. He preferred to believe it was true.

Everyone looked around and realized it was just falling rocks. There was no danger to their lives. Even if it had hit Ludar at the front of the group, they believed he could easily handle it with his protective shield.

"THANK YOU," Ludar said, turning around and giving a thumbs-up, signaling everyone to continue.

Occasionally, there are deep, dark caves. Turn on the light (shortcut key Fn). On the stone walls inside the cave, there are stone troughs where ghostly flames have burned for thousands of years. Below the troughs are carved stone beast-face monsters, whose appearance is somewhat similar to the ghost brothers who spoke earlier.

Theoretically, a third-rate hero like the Floating Oni, who "climbs over" from the level 2 map, is indeed rare, but unfortunately, his race cannot "pass on normally." This means that if he mates with another female Oni, their offspring, if unable to "awaken," will automatically be taken over by the AI ​​and become unrelated to any ID later on.

The Barbarian King, walking at the very back of the group, may not be fooled by his heavy breathing and thumping footsteps.

When he was in dungeons, especially five-star difficulty dungeons, the rare elite Barbarian King still knew to land on his toes first, appearing quite cautious. Because he knew, "If I didn't, I would have been kicked out of the party long ago. Brother Ludar wouldn't have invited me to team up. The reasons behind this are complicated."

The Barbarian King endured countless hardships along the way, including the "crippled leg incident," the trials and tribulations of becoming the lord of a level-two map city, and ultimately, the loss of his beloved. Having traversed this path, the Barbarian King gained profound insights and was deeply moved by the concepts of "life" and "story."

"You did a great job just now, bro." Sometimes, when Tryndamere gets boring on Facebook, he'll quietly exchange pleasantries with his teammates, making sure the environment is safe. He's become more worldly-wise than before.

In the Temple dungeon, they needed to clear out some small monsters in a narrow section. (Clearing the path)

Most of the monsters were lone, poor elites. Ludar's AoE attacks, combined with the Barbarian King's taunt, made the remaining "zombie monsters" easy for the Oni Floating Ones to deal with using basic attacks. The high-agility Executioner also contributed with basic attacks. The half-human Hakkar was a support; he just applied a few blessings, making things very easy for everyone.

The strange corpse glittered. The things on the ground remained untouched.

They knew that these poor monsters wouldn't drop anything. If they picked them up, they would only get boring items like "scraps of cloth and oddly shaped bones."

When they are recovering health and mana, they will whisper a few words to each other, not just casual conversation, but mostly about clues about the dungeon.

"Barbarian King, are you tired?"

"It's alright, keep it up! Floating Demon Clan..."

The Barbarian King didn't actually know the names of the floating demons, nor did he know the name of the half-human monster Hakkar who was his support.

A highly agile assassin, level 999 (maximum). Actually, he doesn't have a name.

Needless to say, the Barbarian King simply gained the title of "Rare." He also doesn't have a name. The Barbarian King is a rare elite hero after awakening. The others—the High-Agility Slayer, the Oni Floating Warrior, and the Half-Human Hakkar—were all elite monsters before, without the "Rare" title. However, to have reached awakening, they are definitely among the best of the elite monsters!

Because the Barbarian King was originally a rare elite, his physique, muscle strength, and traditional attributes such as strength, stamina, intelligence, and spirit are far superior to those of ordinary elite Barbarian Kings. He also has hidden attributes, which are currently not displayed in his skill bar. (Hidden attribute: Can be hidden)

"Slayer, your purple weapon is pretty good. Let me take a look."

Hakkar will help re-identify everyone's weapons during the battle damage repair process. (Hakkar's settings: This battle damage repair is free; weapon identification is free)

The mysterious temple was a vast map. Some paths within were traps, others dead ends. Ludar walked along, meticulously and precisely sketching the map by hand.

The underground city was not only dark and gloomy, but also extremely damp.

When the team leader, Ludar, was exhausted from exploring, he told everyone to rest, meditate, eat some magic bread to restore their stamina, and wait until everyone had reached 80% stamina before giving orders.

"You guys wait here, I'll go check it out myself. I think the next boss is about to appear! And it's nearby; I can already smell its presence. It should be an Ancient Guardian. (Level: Skull)"

"receive!"

"receive!"......

Seeing Ludal leave, the Barbarian King signaled for everyone to remain vigilant, to guard against a sneak attack from the Ancient Guardians.

"Slayer, try to fill your rage meter as much as possible. I'll tank the BOSS. Just keep building up your rage," the Barbarian King whispered.

"Yes! Understood." The slayer nodded.

The other two heroes, having come from the level 2 map, have less experience and lower rank compared to the Barbarian King and the Executioner. After all, the game was originally free-to-play, but has now switched to a paid model; their understanding and knowledge of the other world are far inferior to those of the Barbarian King and the Executioner.

Hakkar the Half-Man was incredibly gentle and a very dedicated support character. He had extremely high Spirit, but only average Intelligence. In battle, Hakkar's constant casting of healing spells looked comically like him inflating a tire. Hakkar's appearance was somewhat frightening, a stark contrast to his support role. Someone unfamiliar with him might mistake him for a grumpy, berserk monster.

The floating demon joined as a special guide. Without the "White Walker portal" he opened, Ludar's progress in clearing the land wouldn't have been so fast.

The mysterious "Temple" requires exploring many areas in the early stages before reaching the area where the dangerous BOSS is located.

With the unique racial skill of the Oni Floating Beings – "Otherworldly Portal" – they can directly enter the core area of ​​the dungeon from the world PVE map, saving a lot of time and improving efficiency.

Later on, if Loki could get the cooperation of a certain floating demon, he could probably find treasure or level up quickly...

I'm currently reading chapter 441, "Turn on the Light" (shortcut key Fn), completely absorbed in it.
