Chapter 15: It Was All A Passive Skill
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the forest, “Big Brother, are we going to let them in just like that?” a player asked.
“Do you really think the three of them can conquer the Mystic Realm Dungeon?”
“Don’t forget, everyone inside only has one life.”
The middle-aged man looked at the dark hole and said, “When they fail and come out, it will be time for us to strike.”
…
Occam felt his vision go dark.
The scene before his eyes changed drastically.
In front of him was a huge stone room. The oil lamps on the wall were emitting weak flames, which gave the place a strange feeling.
There were piles of bones all around. There were also corpses that had died not long ago that were slowly rotting. Countless flies were flying about. Moreover, the corpses were actually wriggling slowly, as if showing signs of revival.
At this moment, the system prompted.
“Ding… you have arrived at the Mystic Realm Dungeon: First Level of the Wizard’s Tomb!”
Occam glanced around.
He did not expect this place to be a tomb.
At this moment, Jeff made his way over to Occam with a grimace.
“Guru, it’s just the three of us. Can we clear this realm?”
As only the three of them entered, Jeff lost his previous confidence.
He felt that no matter how powerful Linley was, there was no way he would be able to help them clear this realm.
Annie also looked over worriedly.
The maximum number of people allowed to enter this realm was 20, but there were only three of them now.
To Annie and Jeff, failure was the final outcome.
“Since we’re here, why don’t we give it a try?”
Occam said nonchalantly.
At this moment, a corpse on the ground suddenly stood up.
This motion was like a signal.
Corpses stood up one after another.
Upon seeing this, Occam immediately checked their identities.
“Rotten Corpse” (Elite monster)
Level: Lv 11
Health: 1000
Defense: 50
Damage: 100-200
Skills: “Bite and Tear”, “Rotten Blood”
Introduction: An explorer who died in an ancient tomb. His body is filled with poisonous corrosive blood.
Beside him, Jeff and Annie also saw the monster’s attributes.
They all clicked their tongues.
This monster’s damage was equivalent to a Level 5 or 6 player.
And there were quite a few of them.
Among the three of them, Occam was at Level 12.
Jeff stayed up all night to level up. He was now at Level 10 and had completed the Class Advancement mission.
Annie was only at Level 9.
This was just the beginning and the monsters were already so terrifying.
Jeff and Annie lost their confidence.
Only Occam did not care.
“Hey, be careful. I’ll get rid of these disgusting things.”
Then, with Jeff and Annie watching in shock, Occam walked right into the middle of the group of dead bodies.
This pulled the aggro of the corpses.
Thus, countless corpses charged towards Occam.
His passive skill was triggered instantly.
“Ding… You have been attacked by a rotting corpse. Passive “Defensive Counterattack” has been triggered (Effect: After being attacked, you will reflect 200% of the damage to the enemy!)”
“Ding… You have been attacked by a rotting corpse. Passive “Defensive Counterattack” has been triggered (Effect: After being attacked, you will reflect 200% of the damage to the enemy!)”
Ding… activated passive “Sacrifice” (Effect: Deals 1% damage to enemy units within a 0.5-meter radius every 5 seconds)
…
-244
-312
-400
…
Instantly, countless numbers that represented damage floated up from the heads of the corpses and their HP began to drop rapidly.
“Ding… You have killed “Rotten Corpse (Elite)”. You have received 100 experience points.”
“Ding… You have killed “Rotten Corpse (Elite)”. You have received 100 experience points.”
…
Soon, as Annie and Jeff watched in shock, Occam quickly cleaned up all the dead bodies around him.
Annie and Jeff were also notified by the system because they were in the same team.
The EXP obtained from Occam’s kills was shared by three people.
However, they still gained more EXP than the Level 10 monsters outside.
The Mystic Realm Dungeon was indeed a good place.
Just as the few of them continued forward, the corpses that Occam had killed on the ground did not disappear but began to squirm again.
Then, the blood in each corpse began to flow into the distance.
Occam and the other two looked.
There was a hexagram there.
As the blood of the corpse continued to gather there, every segment of the hexagram began to emit a bloody glow.
The light grew brighter.
A black shadow gradually appeared in the blood-colored light.
The next moment, the light dissipated.
A headless corpse wielding a blood-colored longsword appeared before the three of them on a skeleton horse that was burning with blue flames.
The three of them immediately understood that this was a boss.
“Headless Knight” (Boss)
Level: 10
Health: 50000
Defense: 500
Damage: 500 ~ 1000
Skills: “Charge”, “Bloodthirst”, “Earth Stomp”
Introduction: A Holy Knight who was beheaded hundreds of years ago for violating the Holy Law. Under the erosion of Demonic Qi, his corpse fell into darkness and became a Dark Knight symbolizing killing.
Annie and Jeff looked at the boss’s stats and almost lost hope.
What was the point of continuing?
His blood was thick and the damage was high. The three of them did not have a healer.
There was basically no need to continue fighting.
Occam sighed.
He knew that he had to go alone again.
The next moment…
Occam walked to the front of the Headless Knight.
Seeing this familiar scene, Annie and Jeff felt that their brains were not working.
This boss was so strong, could he really kill it?
This was the question in their hearts.
On the other hand, Occam had aroused the hatred of the Headless Knight.
The Headless Knight charged towards Occam.
If it was an ordinary player, they would have probably returned to the city after taking this blow.
But Occam was no ordinary player.
Passive “Defensive Counterattack” and “Sacrifice” were triggered.
“Ding, you have been attacked by the Headless Knight. You have triggered the passive “Defensive Counterattack” (Effect: After being attacked, you will reflect 200% of the damage to the enemy!)”
“Ding, you have been attacked by the Headless Knight. You have triggered the passive “Defensive Counterattack” (Effect: After being attacked, you will reflect 200% of the damage to the enemy!)”
Ding… activated passive “Sacrifice” (Effect: Deals 1% damage to enemy units within a 0.5-meter radius every 5 seconds)
…
-1548
-1054
-400
…
Numbers representing damage floated above the Headless Knight’s head.
At the same time, its HP was rapidly decreasing.
If it attacked Occam, it would suffer double the damage!
This was equivalent to killing himself.
However, it had no intelligence. It was just a monster that only knew how to kill.
Thus, before long, its HP was depleted.
Then, he fell to the ground, turned into a ball of data and disappeared.
Seeing this scene, Annie and Jeff’s eyes widened as if they could not believe what they were seeing.
Even though they knew that Occam had killed a boss by himself,
no one saw it.
Now, they had personally seen Occam killing the boss alone without even attacking.
He defeated the boss without suffering any damage.
If one had not seen it with their own eyes, no one would have believed it.
After a long time…
“How did you do that, Occam?”
Annie asked blankly.
“This is because all my Skill Points were used for the passive skills.”
