Chapter 841: Unique Gem

Chapter 841: Unique GemNing fought the goblings until he was Level 30. After that, he went over to the worms in the east.        

The worm's spawn field was just a field without a dungeon, so Ning fought as long as he could there too, reaching level 35 before he returned to the city.    

He was planning to go directly to the dungeon in the north, but it seemed the game wanted otherwise.      

He got a notification saying that he had been playing for a bit too long and that he needed to take a break.    

When Ning realized that he had been playing the game continuously for over 5 days, he was shocked.      

It definitely didn't feel like 5 days. It felt like a single day had passed.    

'So long,' he thought to himself. Once he was in the city, he could log out without worrying about leaving behind his game character in the open.    

Outside, he would leave behind his character, free for thieves and hunters to steal from him while he couldn't protect himself.    

However, in the city, he would simply vanish and reappear when he logged in.    

As such, Ning felt no hesitation in pressing the button to log out.    

Ning suddenly found himself in a void, confused as to what was happening. It wasn't until the game told him that it was thawing his body did he understand.    

[You may return to the game after you're done resting.]    

When he finally woke up, he found the capsule door wide open and finally walked out.      

Ning felt his brain sting a bit, but he felt no pain as he wasn't capable of feeling pain at all.    

'So sleep, huh?' he thought. "I guess I can do that."    

Ning jumped into the bed and fell asleep.

"Divine Grace!" Saphandra shouted, her staff pointed towards a man in crimson armor.    

Suddenly, his white wings glowed goldenly, and so did the rest of his body. A buff fell on him, healing him for a portion of his health, and also removing any negative debuffs he might have been facing.    

"Thank you, Saph!" the man shouted happily and jumped in front, slamming his chest in front of a skeletal knight.    

The skeletal knight turned towards the man and started attacking him. The man was rather slow, and his bulky armor made him even slower.      

Instead, he held up a shield and took the knight's attack like it was nothing.    

A knight of their own jumped from the side, her golden hair gleaming as if in sunlight, and her glaives slashing at the side of the knight.    

Three arrows flew from the back, landing directly on top of each other, every second arrow that landed on the first dealing critical damage.    

Finally, the mage that was with them, turned the floor into a pit of ice, that slowed every single movement of the skeletal knight while slowly chipping away its strength.        

Bit by bit, the 5 of them managed to bring the knight's HP down and in the end, beat the boss.    

A bunch of notifications appeared in front of them all, as Saphandra managed to get a gem.    

The description of the gem said that if she embedded the gem onto any items, it would give her a skill in the gem.    

As for the skill, she would have to take the gem to a high-level artificer.    

She decided to go there.    

"Thanks for the help, Saph," the tank came to say. "It's honestly so easy when you're around."    

"Nonsense, you could have easily defeated it without me," She said.    

"Maybe, but it definitely is so much easier when you're around," the man said. "Dammit! Maybe I should have skipped on being a Neutral faction and went on to become an Angle too."    

"Oi, you get to use both Angel and Demon skills. Stop whining," the knight girl spoke up.    

"That's from such a small pool though," the man complained.    

"Didn't they say the developers would be adding more skills to the pool soon? I'm sure the people who chose the Neutral faction will have a lot better chance than us."    

Saphandra smiled. "I will be leaving now," she said and walked out of the portal that had appeared.    

When she appeared out, she was at the opening of an old, decrepit temple in the middle of barren land.      

Off to the north, Saphandra could see the city she had come from and walked towards it.    

She saw many players along the way, and even some carriages going south from the city.    

When she entered the city, there was just a massive number of Angels putting up banners to call for aid in the upcoming war.    

It seemed that the demons had already taken over the smaller continent in the south, and it would be a few weeks or months before they decided to come for either of the two continents to the north.    

Both Angels and the humans were preparing to fight, and as such there was a call for war everywhere.    

Saphandra was still only Level 18, so she couldn't leave just yet, but it wouldn't be long before she would be ready to leave.    

She found her way to an analyst guild that was an expert in identifying the hidden secrets behind items that were found in dungeons.    

Saphandra walked up the stairs to a room where a man sat, waiting for his customers to come.    

"Hi, I want to get something analyzed," Saphandra said.    

"Yes, what is it?" the man asked.    

Saphandra pulled out the dark-purple gem and handed it to the man. "This," she said.    

"Oh… wow," the man said. "I've never seen a gem of this color. Purple… dark at that too. It's a high-level Unique gem for sure."        

"Oh," Saphadra was pleasantly surprised. "What skill does it have?"      

"Let me see," the man pulled out a magnifying glass and started looking at the gem through it.    

"Hmm… hmm… I see," he said. "You are quite lucky. This gem has a fantastic spell that not even the best angels have."    

"Oh, what is it?" she asked.    

"Resurrection."
