Armipotent - Chapter 1623: Dungeon Speedrunner 5
“I hope so…” Despite saying that, The Mayor did not show that he had hope. Out of formality, he greeted Herman with a forced smile, “I am grateful for The Green Hornet to answer our call.”
Herman nodded with a smile, “I don’t mean to eavesdrop on your conversation earlier. You should not be worried about the undead or the necromancers. We have our people to kill the necromancer. We are not just to defend the town, but also to kill the necromancer.”
He said that with great confidence. Confidence came from Tang Shaoyang who was on his side this time. He fully believed in Tang Shaoyang.
“What does that mean?” One of the Captain Guards questioned Herman.
“We will go outside and kill the necromancer!” Herman responded.
“No! You can’t go outside! There’s a barrier outside, and we need to cancel the barrier if you want to go out! We can’t let you do that because we no longer have the resources to activate the barrier again! The barrier is our last hope!”
“Not just that, the Necromancer will put our town on target if you fail to kill him! We can’t take the risk!”
Tang Shaoyang indeed saw the barrier outside, a fragile barrier.
“Follow me!” Tang Shaoyang gestured to the three to follow him outside.
The Mayor and his two Captain Guards did not know who Tang Shaoyang was. However, they followed Tang Shaoyang outside willingly. They walked up to the wall where the guards were stationed.
There was no warning or reminder as Tang Shaoyang summoned Aerelion. The massive wyvern shocked everyone, not just the guards but also the people. Receiving Tang Shaoyang’s order, Aerelion sent his fire breath to the barrier.
A single attack disintegrated the barrier. Screams and bells rang as everyone was alarmed by the wyvern.
“WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?” One of the Captain Guards tried to reach Tang Shaoyang’s neck, trying to capture Tang Shaoyang. However, Viona was faster as she appeared in front of the Captain Guard. She caught his hand and twisted to the side before pushing the captain to the ground with her left foot.
“Are you that you don’t understand the situation!? You don’t need the barrier. The Wyvern will protect the city while we are hunting the necromancer!” She released the Captain Guard after saying that.
The pain in his arm calmed him down and realized the message, ‘They could at least warn us first.’ That was what was in his mind as he massaged his arm.
Tang Shaoyang summoned Jovrick too, a knight and a wyvern. Two dependable forces that gave The Mayor and The Captain Guards assurance for the town’s safety.
As soon as the barrier broke apart, the undead outside swarmed toward the town. Tang Shaoyang told everyone not to move as Aerelion and Jovrick jumped into the undead. It started with the same black fire breath, burning the undead closer to the cities. Then followed by Jovrick, jumping from the wall, landed between the undead, followed by the manifestation of a black sword.
Hundreds of undead were killed within a minute, cleaning the city’s periphery from the undying monster. Jovrick returned on top of Aerelion, he landed on the wall, right next to Tang Shaoyang while the wyvern stayed above town.
Meanwhile, Tang Shaoyang was having a conversation with Vandir. When it came to Necromancer, he consulted the expert in the same field. He asked Vandir how strong the Necromancer was based on the undead they just killed.
[You just need to send the trios Revenant and assassinate the Necromancer. It’s just another Demi-God Rank Necromancer. It should be easy for them, and you don’t need to step in!] That was Vandir’s assessment of the necromancer.
The reason Tang Shaoyang wanted to take action by himself was because of his skill, Chaos Eyes. If it was him, it would be easier to find the necromancer.
[With how sluggish his control over his undead, the necromancer should not be far from here. He might flee after seeing Aerelion and Jovrick. You should send the trios Revenant and the Helion Wolf to chase him.]
Following Vandir’s advice, he sent two Helion Wolves and three Revenants. The three immediately flashed in five different directions. Just like Vandir predicted, the necromancer was not that from the town, but he was hiding. Ten thousand meters from the town, not that far for the Revenant and Helion Wolf.
By the time the five located The Necromancer came out from his hideout, the five spirits were waiting for him outside the cave.
“F*CK!” That was The Necromancer’s last words.
*** ***
[You have completed the quest for the second floor by killing The Nefarious Necromancer!]
[You are the top contributor for the second floor!]
[You obtained an Epic Treasure Chest!]
The reward for the second floor was the ugly staff from the Necromancer. The second reward was an Epic Rank round shield from The Mayor, his family heirloom. The third reward was the top contributor reward.
Herman was holding the shield and the staff looked unbelievable as he stared at the reward. It was not even past ten minutes since they arrived on the second floor, and Tang Shaoyang completed the quest in that short time. He was ashamed of holding the reward. If he looked at the contribution list, everyone was zero except for Tang Shaoyang.
“We will take the shield. Please take the staff, Sir Tang Shaoyang!” He handed it to the staff.
“No, you take it! No one wants that staff. Let’s just go to the next floor!” Tang Shaoyang made sure not to take the staff. It was an exclusive staff for Necromancer, and he did not have anyone in that class. Yu Shun was the closest to the Necromancer, but Yu Shun was the Zombie Apostle.
Herman put on a thick mask and took the staff. While the staff was especially good for Necromancer, it was still usable for Mage and Elementalist as well. They entered the third floor, declining The Mayor’s offer for a farewell party.
The third floor was the most common dungeon. The only way for them to advance was to find the boss room. Tang Shaoyang summoned The Skelly Family again this time. He needed numbers for this type of dungeon. It took them three hours to finish the third floor with how big the area for the third dungeon was.
The fourth floor was similar to the second floor, a city defense. However, there was no shortcut this time. They had to defend the city from the one hundred waves of monster and beast horde with a few minutes interval between each wave. This was an endurance test as they had to face the horde with so little rest as the interval between each wave would be shortened. Even though the Legend Rank monster was the highest rank, it would still give the Demi-God Rank a hard time clearing the fourth floor.
