Crystal?

Inside the box was a crystal that could breathe!

​ 

Lorne was stunned.

The crystal pumped slightly every few seconds and emitted a faint light.

Such a strange scene made Lorne activate appraisal immediately.

However, in the next second, he was even more shocked.

————

[Unknown Crystal Heart]

Quality: ???

Effect: ???

Introduction: A very strange heart. Because of its powerful vitality, it has been beating for a thousand years.

————

Heart?

This was a crystal heart!

Despite having encountered countless strange creatures, the thing before him still shocked him.

He could not imagine what kind of monster would have a crystal heart.

Not only that, but this heart had actually left its owner and continued beating in this chest for a thousand years!

“I’ve obtained the true treasure.”

From the perspective of a player, Lorne knew that this was something extraordinary.

Even to ordinary players, it was an extraordinary treasure.

To Lorne, who had a Monster Merging Simulator, the heart was definitely the highest quality material.

If he could synthesize the prototype with it, the final result would definitely shock the entire world.

With that in mind, Lorne quickly put the crystal heart away in his bag.

Then, he studied it.

This crystal heart was very different from a human heart. Its entire structure was like a heart-shaped crystal block. It was crystal clear, and every time it beat, the center would emit a very subtle green light.

“Master Adventurer, since you’ve obtained a satisfactory treasure, I won’t disturb you anymore. I’ll take my leave first.” The Demon Soul King said and bowed respectfully in a human manner.

After this respectful and hypocritical behavior, there was an incomparably hideous expression on its face. The Demon Soul King, who had suffered such humiliation, swore that one day, it would capture this detestable human and imprison his soul, making him submit for all eternity!

Just as the Demon Soul King was secretly cursing…

Two arrows shot from the side.

Pfft—

Pfft—

The flaming and poisonous arrows accurately struck the Boss’ head.

The powerful force dealt high damage.

The Boss, who did not have much health left, had its health points decreased even more. Now, it only had 2,000-3,000 health points left.

“Human!”

“You went back on your word!”

The Demon Soul King let out an angry roar and used its fastest speed to flee.

However, more than a dozen arrows instantly followed behind it and entered its body, wiping out its last health.

“Do I need to keep my word against a demon like you?”

Lorne had no intention of letting it go from the beginning.

Only by killing this cunning demon would he be able to stop all threats.

After killing the boss, Lorne went to clean up the final battlefield.

At this moment, countless white souls flew out from the black fog, and countless voices echoed in the entire forest.

“Thank you, brave adventurer. You are the one who ended my sins. My soul is finally free.”

Countless souls were gathering around Lorne.

Perhaps because of the wishes of these dead souls, this time, the boss dropped a lot of loot.

In addition to the six Bronze items, there were two Silver items inside. One of them was a part of the Sage Set that Lorne needed.

Lorne put it on and his resistance increased significantly.

Ding!

“The effect of [Sage Set] has been triggered. Set attributes received: Bypass 30 points of magic resistance of the target.”

Four pieces of equipment gave Lorne 60 points of magic resistance penetration.

Unfortunately, he was a Summoner who did not need to deal damage himself.

He put away the loot.

In the end, Lorne obtained an energy ball.

Ding!

“Congratulations on obtaining the material: [Purified Soul].”

He obtained another soul material.

It was the same as the material he had obtained in the last instance dungeon.

However, the quality of the soul he obtained this time was slightly worse.

“That doesn’t matter. It can be used as an experiment.”

Feeling grateful, Lorne put everything away.

After all, he had gained a lot from this dungeon exploration.

Not only did he obtain a huge amount of elf reputation, but he also obtained a large amount of strange materials and items. It was simply awesome.

Then…

Lorne looked at the elves hiding in the distance, “Let’s go. We’ll reach Iron Skull City soon after leaving the forest.”

In the end, Mayra looked at him warily, no longer as cooperative as before.

Clearly, the scene just now made her very suspicious.

Lorne had to explain himself.

He showed the Mark of Darkness on his body to the other party, eliminating the other party’s suspicions and accidentally obtaining the admiration of all the elves.

“Heavens, Master Adventurer rejected the Dragon of Darkness!”

“This is unbelievable.”

“So Master Adventurer has received the recognition of the Dragon of Light. No wonder he has a good reputation within the Dragon Race of Order.”

“You are the best friend of the elves.”

“Bless you.”

The elves expressed their friendliest attitude.

Mayra walked up and expressed her greatest gratitude to Lorne, “Best friend of the elves, thank you for saving our lives again.”

Ding!

“Elf Leader Mayra’s affinity with you+100!”

“Elf Tracey highly approves of you, Elf Reputation+100.”

“Elf Sloka highly approves of you. Elf Reputation+100.”

“Elf Dolly highly approves of you. Elf Reputation+100…”

“Congratulations on killing the Boss [Demon Soul King], Elf Reputation+3,000.”

Ding!

“Congratulations on reaching 50,000 points in total reputation among the elves. The elves’ impression of you has improved.”

…

A series of notifications appeared.

But before Lorne could recover, an even grander voice sounded in the air.

Ding!

“Iron Skull City Announcement: Congratulations to Player [Tyrant] for successfully purifying the souls of the dead in the Dark Forest. Reward: None!”

“Iron Skull City Announcement: Due to Player [Tyrant] purifying the Dark Forest, the mission [Proof of Courage] has officially ended. All players who have accepted and are undergoing the mission can go to the commander of Iron Skull City, Klent, to receive a ‘Brave Adventurer Reward’.”

“Ding!”

“Ding!”

The two main city announcements sounded three times.

All the players who entered Iron Skull City received the news at the same time.

The moment they saw the announcement, they were all stunned. Then, they laughed crazily.
