Chapter 210 Chapter209-The Astonished Adam and Blue Sea (1st update, Cheer me with Power Stones!)
Silver Manor, Room 8.
The fire in the fireplace crackled as it consumed the wood, the room otherwise silent.
Adam and Blue Sea sat, mouths agape, staring at John in sheer disbelief.
Their eyes reflected a look as though they were witnessing a monster...
Although John had been sparse with details in his response, it did nothing to stymie Adam and Blue Sea's minds from racing with imaginations.
They suddenly felt that the game they were playing was completely different from John's...
It had only been a few months since the game Godslayer had launched.
Most players were still battling against mundane creatures of level 10 or so.
Yet here was Galewind, who seemed ordinary apart from his handsome features, and he had achieved the Herculean feat of slaying a deity!
Was such a feat even humanly possible?
Both Blue Sea and Adam were leaders of top-tier guilds, harnessing the vast resources of their respective organizations.
Yet, even they were only slightly ahead of the average player.
They wouldn't stand a chance against bosses of level 100 or higher if faced alone.
As for taking on a deity... it was unthinkable...
Adam let out a wry chuckle, a hint of melancholy flashing in his eyes, "It had to be you. Only you, Galewind, could achieve such a legendary feat... When the system announcement came out, Blue Sea and I speculated about who could have accomplished it. After pondering, we couldn't think of anyone other than you..."
"But even if it was weakened, it was still a deity... Galewind, how did you manage it?"
John responded with a faint smile but offered no further explanation.
Blue Sea cleared his throat subtly, hinting to Adam that perhaps he had probed a bit too deeply.
Realizing his overstep, Adam offered an apologetic smile to John.
After a moment of silence, Blue Sea voiced the question that weighed most heavily on his mind, "With the slaying of the deity, Galewind, you must have reaped quite the reward, right?"
"Do you have any equipment or items that you're planning to auction off?" Adam asked, his eyes filled with hope as they bore into John's.
John pondered for a moment.
It seemed that the equipment and items he'd obtained after defeating Fallen Angel Leviathan were all invaluable, not suited for auction.
Hence, he could only shake his head regretfully, "I'm sorry, but I have use for all of them."
While Blue Sea and Adam were somewhat disappointed, they expressed understanding.
After all, equipment and items dropped by a deity were bound to be exceedingly rare.
If roles were reversed, neither of them would consider auctioning such items.
Money was important, but some things were so rare that no amount of wealth could procure them...
Suddenly, a glint of excitement appeared in Adam's eyes.
He laughed boisterously, "Since the achievement of the deity's first kill was yours, Galewind, then I presume that the singular Divine weapon listed on the equipment leaderboard is one of your spoils from the battle, right?"
"Would you mind showing it to us? I've been playing for so long and have never laid eyes on a Divine weapon."
John couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.
If Adam and Blue Sea were to find out that the menacing Asura Mask he wore was, in fact, a piece of Divine Equipment, he wondered just how flabbergasted they would be...
John nodded gently, smiling faintly, "Of course, take a look..."
With a casual wave of his hand, a sleek, antique-looking longsword appeared on the table before them.
Adam and Blue Sea eagerly leaned in, activating their Detection spell:
[Divine Palace (Divine Weapon): With a single thought, become a god; with another, a demon. Only the Divine Palace can slay both.]
A concise description, but it radiated unparalleled dominance...
John raised an eyebrow, continuing to look down.
[Level: Above 600, also requiring a strength of 1200 and stamina of 1200.]
[Class: Warrior, Spellblade, Assassin...]
[Attributes: +2500 HP, +1000 Strength, +800 Stamina, +80% True Damage, +50% Armor Penetration...]
[Skill 1: Inquiry Strike - On activation, conjures an energy blade that deals massive damage to all enemies in a straight line up to 5000 meters away, also reducing their defenses, with a maximum of 100% True Damage...]
[Skill 2: Divine Slay (Passive Skill) - Wielding this weapon grants the user a permanent damage increase against deities. The closer the level difference, the higher the damage increment, up to double the damage...]
After carefully going through the base attributes of the "Divine Palace," both of them wore expressions of sheer astonishment.
Such attributes were beyond celestial...
In their limited experience, never had they seen any weapon possess such perfect attributes...
Even in past games they had played, they hadn't encountered such a supreme piece of equipment.
Adam, still deeply awed, remarked, "It's truly deserving of the highest grade. These attributes would leave anyone spellbound..."
Blue Sea chuckled wryly, "Its stats are indeed overwhelming, but the requirements for wielding it aren't for the average player... Perhaps only you, Galewind, would be capable of meeting them in the shortest time."
Adam nodded in agreement, "Indeed, above level 600... Even for you, Galewind, I presume that level is still a long way off?"
Both Adam and Blue Sea assumed John was merely keeping the weapon in his inventory for now, waiting to equip it once he reached level 600.
John merely smiled in response, choosing to remain silent.
John simply allowed the two usually prestigious guild leaders to speculate on their own.
He certainly wouldn't directly tell Adam and Blue Sea that his level had long since met the criteria...
Using the Divine Palace, that piece of Divine Equipment, was effortless for him.
Blue Sea took one more longing look at the Divine Palace, then laughed, "Well, now that I've feasted my eyes, Galewind, you may put it away..."
With another wave, John returned the Divine Palace to his equipment slot.
Taking a deep breath, Adam eagerly said, "Whenever you decide to part with this sword in favor of a more superior Divine Equipment, Galewind, do consider me first..."
Before John could respond, Blue Sea interjected, annoyed, "What nonsense are you spouting? How could Galewind ever consider parting with such a treasure?"
Adam grimaced, retorting, "I was merely speaking hypothetically. What if Galewind later acquires an even more elite Divine Equipment?"
Blue Sea scoffed, "What do you think Divine Equipment is? Cabbages that can be found just anywhere?"
Adam, slightly indignant, argued, "For mere mortals like us, it might be impossible, but with Galewind, I believe anything can happen..."
Blue Sea was momentarily at a loss for words.
Though he wanted to counter Adam's assertion, upon reflection, the man had a point.
For them, obtaining a Divine Equipment would indeed be a Herculean task.
For the vast majority of regular players, even playing the game their whole lives wouldn't earn them such top-tier equipment.
Yet, this logic didn't apply to John...
Thinking of John's enigmatic abilities, all that remained in Blue Sea's heart was sheer admiration.
After pondering a bit, Blue Sea retorted, "Even if Galewind truly acquires a better Divine Equipment, as you suggest, shouldn't he consider me first? Speaking of camaraderie, you've only known him for a few days..."
Adam casually glanced at Blue Sea, nonchalantly remarking, "What would a mage like you do with Divine Palace? Charge at enemies with it?"
Blue Sea was left speechless once again.
John, finding amusement in their bickering, thought the scene quite entertaining.
These two, always so imposing in the public eye, both respected guild leaders, had such childlike sides to them in private...
Clearing his throat, John said with a smile, "Don't worry. If one day I truly decide to auction off the Divine Palace, I'll certainly give both of you priority..."
Only then did Adam and Blue Sea stop their quarreling, fully satisfied.
The three clinked their glasses together, and the top-shelf Dragon's Tongue liquor on the table visibly diminished with every sip.
After some casual chitchat, Adam suddenly inquired, "Brother Galewind, now that the Pet System has been launched, any thoughts on it?"
John quirked an eyebrow, replying nonchalantly, "Why? Have you two not acquired your own pets yet?"
Blue Sea chuckled bitterly, admitting, "No. Right now, there's only one way to obtain a pet, and that's by accepting the pet acquisition quest. But the pets awarded from that quest are so mediocre, we simply deem it beneath us to even attempt it."
John accessed the in-game pet leaderboard, commenting with a smirk, "Only one way? I don't think so. This Bifrost Thunder Tiger ranked first must have been obtained through some other means..."
Adam nodded in agreement, confirming, "Indeed. Night Cycle had a stroke of good fortune. Before the Pet System was officially launched, he stumbled upon a hidden quest. The reward for completing it was that three-star pet, the Bifrost Thunder Tiger."
"If you only go through the regular pet acquisition quest, the pets you end up with are typically one-star, with virtually no potential for growth."
John took a sip from his glass, casting a teasing glance at the duo, "Bringing this up all of a sudden, did you two perhaps stumble upon a similar quest?"
Adam and Blue Sea exchanged knowing smiles.
Some things are best left unsaid.
