Chapter 215: Biggest Scheme, Desolate City

Chapter 215: Biggest Scheme, Desolate City



Clora of Crimson Marsh was defeated, but she left a mystery behind as it appeared she was a living being.

Aleron felt it might be her avatar or something designated as a boss in this dungeon.

They didn't dwell on the exchange Aleron had with Clora any further and opened the reward boxes.

Golden Reward Box, the boss defeating reward, gave 1000 Chaos Stones, a medium-difficulty Chaos Art with a recovery speed of 72 Chakra per second.

It was slightly better than the previous medium-difficulty Chaos Art they got.

As for Chaos Stones, these stones could be mined or granted from Dungeons. They were the only currency usable here to buy anything. Another usage of Chaos Stones could be found in Special Events that would sometimes appear in Dungeons or in random chaotic phenomena that regularly manifested throughout Chaosverse.

On the other hand, the Gold-tier Random Reward box that everyone got gave two rewards. One, a random colored star potion among Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Brown, and White.

Red increased Strength.

Green increased Agility.

Yellow increased Stamina.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Brown increased Health.

Blue increased Magic.

And White increased Soul.

Since breaking through to Paragon-rank lifeform evolved their Magic source, there was no separate need to increase Magilore's energy capacity.

Like how one's Soul energy capacity increased as long as their soul potency increased, Arcane source had become like that because it was now in the shape of a glistering round frozen blue pond, with no separation of its core or pool of energy like before. As long as Magic potency increased, one's Magilore pool's capacity would increase correspondingly.

The second reward they got from the Gold-tier Reward box was random.

Some got high-star Paragon-rank equipment, some got Mystic Artifacts of Primary-order (the lowest grade, one grade below Rare-order), and some got a bunch of resources.

...

The group left the Dungeon after going through the exit portal. Now that they had gotten stronger and adapted to Chaosverse by clearing a dungeon, it was time to leave.

Aleron called out a giant Zord, one with plenty of space on its back-Drakonis, the Infernal Dragon Champion.

'Zords are unique and can level up. However, they haven't leveled up even once so far, so I have to find out what they need to level up and measure their current power level as well,' Aleron thought as he inspected Drakonis.

"When will we arrive at the populous area of 1st region? Any idea, Gachapi?" Yueha asked. [Gachapi: With our current speed, we should reach Desolate City after six days.]

"The first region is also called Desolation, so this must be the main city of this region, eh?" Riki said.

[Gachapi: There's only one city in the 1st region of Chaosverse, and it's this Desolate City. It's massive, and all forces of the upper cosmos have their branch in this city.]

[Gachapi: But of course, there are special locations throughout this region. The only problem is...these special locations are not permanent because they are formed via chaotic phenomena.]

[Gachapi: Also, Dungeons are not common here. We got one via a Dagger, but such items that can lead to a dungeon are exceedingly rare. As for the Dungeon Gates that randomly appear, they are also rare, and competition to acquire them is fierce. Some Dungeons also have Chaos Veins that contain Chaos Stones, which are even more important.]

"We'll see what we do once we get there," Aleron said, smiling. "We aren't in a hurry anymore, so we'll stay low-key and settle down first."

"That's better indeed," Enorin nodded.

Everyone soon entered meditation afterward, silently sitting on the huge back of this unique semi-metallic Dragon Zord.

All of them had also decided to reach level 2 in their Main concept first, so they were progressing towards it.

If one looked at this city massive city spanning thousands of kilometers from above, only one

word would come to their mind.

Chaotic.

Designs and structures were all over the place with every force and their own unique style.

But there was also a useful rule in the city-No fighting allowed. As such, it was important that Aleron and others settled down in the city.

This security was provided by Chaosverse itself, but not for free. In exchange, everyone had to

give 10 Chaos Stones per head every month.

It was a tax.

As the group neared the city, Aleron commanded Drakonis to descend from the sky. The city

had tons of entrances, so the group landed at a random one.

The city gates had two ten-meter-tall stone statues as guards.

When the group arrived before them, both guards blocked the gate using their massive spears.

"Pay the entry fee. Five Chaos Stones per head."

"Thankfully, we got Chaos Stones from the dungeon," Aleron said with a chuckle and gave 80

Chaos stones to the Guards.

The chaos stone vanished while they were in the air and the Guards retracted their spears.

"You may enter. Attacking someone is prohibited unless both parties agree to fight beforehand. If you break the rule, you will receive a death penalty."

"Unless you manage to acquire a territory in the city to live in, you must pay 10 Chaos Stones

per day."

Everyone was surprised at the two rules.

"Death Penalty is crazy, but kinda good for weak and newbies here," Ying grinned. "Good for

us."

"That's good, but territory?" Mei tilted her head. "Master, what's that?"

As the group entered the city, Aleron told them about what he knew. "Territory is basically a house for us to live in, but instead of buying it, we have to win it

ourselves," Aleron wryly smiled. "Fortunately, we can initiate a challenge for territory and the other party must accept. They can't reject."

"Hmmm, the city is vast, to say the least. We will need to find proper opponents as well,"

Darzax said.

"Since we raided the dungeon, we have tons of resources and items to sell," Aleron said "Some resources can be used for those stat-increasing potions, so we'll visit an Alchemy house first."

As such, the group entered the vast city filled with people of all kinds and races, with big and small streets and exotic structures and buildings.

Fortunately, there were information boards and also guides who quickly approached Aleron and the group upon seeing them entering the city.

The guides asked for a couple of Choas Stones in exchange for showing them places they

needed to go and required. This was also a way for people to make a living for a short time since those so-called Guides were also Paragon-rank powerhouses!
