VRMMO: Alter Online - Chapter 25

A monster house, a place where monsters mostly resides, it could be anywhere, a cave, a house, a tree, or even a mountain, monster houses were not that rare but they were dangerous,.

Monsters in monster houses were much more powerful than normal monsters and they also have a special attribute like the poison spider, their special attribute was poison, one more thing that made it dangerous is that monsters that came from the monster houses always moves in group.

It could be 30 of them, or a hundred, no one knew but monsters houses were said to have tons of monsters hiding inside it, conquering one would be impossible without proper equipment and skills.

But with danger comes great benefits, well, not all but monster houses had its benefits, first of all was experience, since monster houses had many monsters, killing them in a single day would be impossible.

That is why the word monster farm was created, once they conquered the monster house, they could then turn it into a monster farm and have a supply of experience enough to level them up many times.

Now to conquer the monster house, Mark and Chris needed to find the House Crystal, which is the heart of the monster house, they needed to get it while being besieged by monsters and also defeat the ones guarding it.

There is also a boss type monster that was more powerful, they were called boss monster for a reason.

Mark wont usually go conquer one recklessly but poison spiders were not that hard to deal with, Mark and Chris wore a full iron armor covering every part of their body from head to toe.

It might be a little heavy but it protects them from the attacks of the poison spiders, poison spiders rely on their blood, bite and spit to defeat their enemies and even just a drop of its blood to the skin was enough to poison a player.

Of course, they were not fully safe from the poison spiders after wearing full iron armor, Poison Spiders could still damage them if they were not careful.

After everything was ready, Mark and Chris took their newly crafted weapons and tools, and faced off the poison spiders.

Mark took the front and entered the pathway where they met the poison spiders first.

“Just as I thought, the number of poison spiders increased” Mark said as he took a peek on the pathway, he could see a large number of poison spiders, and they filled the whole pathway, from the ground, walls and the ceiling.

If Mark estimated, there over a hundred of poison spiders on the pathway, Mark turned his head to Chris, “I will take the front once again, I wont kick any to you but I’m sure there would be some that would get past me, so take care of it” Mark said.

“I understand” Chris nodded.

Mark took a deep breath and then immediately charged towards the pathway where hundreds of poison spiders were littering.

*Swoosh!

*Slash!

Mark immediately slashed the monster nearest to him.

*Screeech!

The poison spiders screeched as they saw Mark and immediately started crawling towards him at a fast speed, it was a disastrous sight to see hundreds of poison spiders charging towards someone.

And even though these monster spiders were considered small, they were still at the height of the knee, the normal monster spiders on the surface reached Mark’s waist in height.

That means they were not small at all but gigantic, Mark clenched his sword tightly and fearless charged towards the army of poison spiders like a brave knight.

He swung his sword reaping lives of the poison spiders giving him tons of experience, Mark was already level 37 from the week of playing, most of his stats were poured to agility but he also added some to his stats.

Mark’s experience rose up like it was on steroids, every spiders he killed will give him bountiful experience, and when he leveled up, he will put the stat point to strength immediately.

Strength adds ten points of energy every 1 stat point, and since Mark was fighting tons of spiders, he needed energy very badly.

From the hundreds of spiders he had slain at the hall way, Mark leveled up a few times.

*Slash!

*Screech!

As the last poison spider on the hall was slain with a screech, Mark stopped and looked around, Chris was fine, he killed a few spiders that Mark was not able to reach but Chris easily took care of it.

Mark looked around the pathway and all of the spiders turned into items and dropped on the ground, Mark got tons of spider eye, strings, and some poison sack from killing the poison spiders.

But Mark did not relax yet, he turned his head towards the cave ahead, it was where the monster house was, there was no light and so Mark could only see the darkness.

But a few moments later, Mark saw a six huge red light open from the darkness, followed by more small red dots slowly filling up the darkness.

“Nevermore Shield! heads up!” Chris said and threw a shield towards him.

Mark caught the shield and put it in front of him, he took a deep breath and immediately charged forward to the monster house.

*Screech!

A loud deafening screech came out from the tunnel, and Mark saw the huge red ball of light move, Chris who was being Mark raised the torch on his hand and lighted up the surroundings.

They also finally saw what the huge red lights were, a 3 meter green tarantula spider, its legs were very huge and poison was leaking out from its mouth.

“Its the boss monster!” Chris exclaimed.

“Let’s clear the little spiders first! dodge the boss attacks!” Mark commanded.
