Chapter 15 The Fate Stone
[Save the soldier Adolf, have you confirmed that the mission is completed?]
Mikoto thought about it very much in her heart, but in fact, she made a choice in the blink of an eye when the time flowed outside.
"no"
A silent chant in his heart, Mikoto's response calmed the system for a moment, as if she hadn't expected to get such an answer, but soon its voice came again.
[Task entry delay, please deliver the task as soon as possible, and the reward point *1 will be deducted for every hour of delay]
After deducting the reward points, this is the first time Mikoto gets a punishment prompt from the system, but she is not surprised but happy because it means that her inference is not wrong. The more perfect the task is completed, the more rewards it will get. If this task is not wrong, it should be to eliminate as many monsters in the cave as possible to improve the completion of the task.
50 points of reward points, plus a ring that has no magic effect. As a reward, just saying that reward points is not considered stingy, but people are always unwilling to be satisfied easily. Even though they know that they can get more rewards, they will always be unwilling to stop. It is true that they cannot deny greed, but Mikoto cannot avoid being greedy. Because of the pressure, she wants to become stronger.
In the game, even the three demons are just NPCs, always waiting in their own castle, giving the player enough time to fight monsters and upgrade until they are ready to challenge. But what about this world? Mikoto doesn't think that these bosses will wait for their growth so consciously, so she must seize all possible opportunities to become stronger - just to survive with greater confidence! This is understandable.
After all, she persuaded the mercenaries to leave first. Mikoto was unwilling to complete the task she had finally completed, because of the omission of a mercenary, and she failed. Everyone who confirmed that the Silver Wolf had retreated towards the entrance of the cave, and after a while of rest, she had recovered a little of the magic power she had consumed and continued to walk towards the depths of the cave.
There is no magic potion on his body anymore, which is a bit of a headache. He cannot vent his strength with all his strength, and the power of the charging bullet is limited by most of the time, so Mikoto is much more careful this time than before.
There was no shortage of lively along the way. After all, the wizard of the destruction was wiped out before. More destruction did not die, but fled in fear. Now, deeper in the cave, Mikoto occasionally encountered a few destruction in a daze. It was too wasteful to use magic for these lonely little guys, and a few sticks were solved. After walking for more than ten minutes, Mikoto encountered the first fork in the cave.
What should I do if I encounter a fork in a cave? For the little networms who once lived in the information outbreak era, Mikoto has certainly heard of various small methods, whether it is throwing stones and listening to echoes, using a torch to see the air flow, or judging the humidity of the air and the groundwater conditions, etc. But if it is real, it is not that simple, and without experience or any method is empty talk, but in fact this is not worth caring about. For Mikoto, as long as she makes a mark and keeps her way, she will do not really want to explore this cave, but just want to eliminate some destructive demons.
Looking back on the task I received before, the content was to rescue Adolf without any casualties in the mercenary group, but there was a premise, "clear the Destroyed Demon Camp". Although all the Destroyed Demon Witcher and drove away, they could barely be considered as clearing the camp in this case, but these escaping Destroyed Demon obviously affected the evaluation of the completion of the mission.
Playing in such a cave is not a good experience. Although she has gained strong strength and is bold, the character she developed as an ordinary person in the past still makes her instinctively afraid of darkness. You know, in the world where Mikoto was born, it would be really bold if anyone dared to go to the cemetery at midnight to wander around, let alone such a place where she knew she would indeed encounter demons. There were mercenaries who followed her before, but now she always felt embarrassed when she walked alone.
Fortunately, the Destroyed Demons are all guys who can't control their mouths. When they encounter a distance, they can hear those croaking ghosts. If they suddenly rush out of the corner like a zombie, they will be scared to death even if they are not beaten to death.
Such fear is understandable, but Mikoto soon gained a deep understanding of her crow's mouth. When she turned in the cave, Mikoto was suddenly knocked over, and then what pierced her nose was an indescribable odor, which was rotten food and the accumulated feces were incomparable. Her mind was replaced by the thrilling that followed. Mikoto soon realized what she had encountered. The odor was the stinking of the corrupt corpse, and facing her was a highly decayed face. Whether it was brain or rotten liquid, it drooped out from the hole that was supposed to be the eyes. The mouth that had already been eroded and exposed the entire tooth skeleton was filled with mucus, and there were even a few fat maggots in and out.
A moment of fear, not screaming out loud, not bravery, but over-neglect, forgetting the sound. Mikoto had encountered zombies before, but in broad daylight, she had been dealt with magic from the empty wasteland. But now in close contact, the creepy moment of that moment is indescribable. Mikoto truly felt the heart stopping at that moment.
Whether it is a midnight bell or a curse, how can you truly feel the horror that everything happened in front of you while sitting in front of the screen? "Shocked" is an exaggerated description, but at this moment Mikoto did make the same move, and her body subconsciously jumped backward like a spasm, and then a severe pain came from the back of the head that hit the wall, but this pain could not relieve Mikoto's hysterical fear at this moment.
But the zombie did not give Mikoto time to recover, and raised her hands and pinched her towards Mikoto's neck. At this moment, the torch of lighting was blocked by Mikoto. This was not her calm and deliberate deliberate action, but just an unconscious action. The zombie's hands hit the torch with one blow, and the torch wrapped in wood with an oil cloth fell to the ground and extinguished, and the entire cave fell into darkness where she could not see her fingers.
The next moment, it seemed that the power supply was finally connected, and the screams of venting due to excessive fear finally came from Mikoto's throat. After realizing it, if it were an ordinary person, he would have died countless times, but fortunately, this slow guy is a real professional.
The sound that is sharper than killing a pig is worthy of the name "Misaka Mikoto", but the lightning ball that burst out then was like the majestic figure. Due to excessive fright, without waiting for the zombie's second strike to be smashed, the endless charge bullets poured out with venting fear.
A sudden fire flashed, just like a long time ago when she was a child, she accidentally stepped on an explosive electric cannon during the Spring Festival. Her feet felt numb and painful. However, Mikoto, who was still immersed in the fright, was ignorant of this. She also did not notice that her health value dropped by nearly a quarter in an instant.
The rapid breathing lasted for more than a minute, and Mikoto finally calmed down. It was not until this time that she noticed the sound of the previous system.
【Eliminate Zombies (elite level), rewards mild healing potion*2, mild mana potion*1, physical potion*1, damaged eagle magic beads】
Unexpectedly, the zombie was actually an elite monster before, but even if it was elite, it would be useless to hit by so many charges. Mikoto then realized that her health was reduced, and she was not hit by a zombie. She recalled the explosion before, and the opponent should have been strengthened by flames. When she died, she activated her own skill ‘corpse explosion’.
This zombie is indeed more powerful than the previous elite Destruction Witcher, and the rewards received are also richer. Compared to those potions, Mikoto was even more excited that she finally got another piece of equipment. Although she was a little depressed when she heard the words "damaged" at first, after continuing to hear the words "Eagle's Law Bead" this depression immediately disappeared.
The Eagle's Magic Bead is an exclusive weapon for witches, and most of them come with skills. The strength of witches lies in their skills. Even if the magic bead is damaged seriously, it doesn't matter if it's even 0 attack power. Mikoto cares more about whether the magic bead's skills are suitable for him. After checking the attributes of this weapon, Mikoto almost smiled at the sky, and even put aside the embarrassing loss of composure at the last moment.
Damaged Eagle's Pearl:
One-handed damage 1-3
Durability 4 of 6
(Limited Witch)
Staff Level - Fast Attack Speed
+5 Life
+1 to heating (bsp; +2 to frozen armor (frozenarmor)
There were three skills added in total, which was not a lot, but Mikoto, the Eagle's Law Bead, had already made up her mind and even if she used bright gold equipment in the early stages of her development, because both skills were very suitable for her.
Heating is basically a skill that witches must learn. Now they can increase the speed of mana recovery by 30% in just one level. Mana is the most fundamental guarantee for witches' power. You can't count on mana potions every time you fight, even professionals can't stand such consumption.
As for ice-encapsulated armor, this is also an extremely useful skill. Level 2 ice-encapsulated armor can increase physical defense by 35%, and can also put enemies who attack him into a short-term freezing state. If you learned this skill before, Mikoto would not have to work so hard when clearing the Destroyed Camp before.
The joy of getting equipment diluted the fear in her heart. Mikoto used the fireball technique to ignite the extinguished torch again. However, looking at the depths of the deep cave, she hesitated for a moment and dared not go deeper again. She must have been scared by the moment just now.
[System prompts that the rescue soldier Adolf has reached one hour of delay, and the reward point *1 is deducted. The junior explorer Misaka Mikoto has the remaining reward point *38. Will the mission be delivered?]
With the meaning of giving up, Mikoto said lightly, "Confirm"
[Save the soldier Adolf, the system determines that the junior explorer Misaka Mikoto is 64%, which is higher than the minimum value of 50%, and confirms that the mission is successful. Receive a reward point *50, Furence's Ring. Because the completion degree is higher than the minimum value of the evaluation, you will get additional reward: Reward point *7. Since Misaka Mikoto is in the protection period of novices, you will get the "Cracked Destiny Stone" *1]
The cracked destiny stone? This strange reward made Mikoto stunned. ‘Cracked xx’ is a setting for gem levels in the dark game. From the low value to the highest, it can be divided into five levels: broken, cracked, xx gems, flawless, and perfect, but among them are yellow gems, sapphires, rubies, emeralds, purple gems, diamonds, skeletons. It was the first time Mikoto heard of gems such as ‘Fate Stone’. This obviously did not come from the game, but the system itself.
