"Please wait. I’ll check the amount first," the receptionist said lightly. She carefully inspected all thirty items one by one. In this guild, she was the only NPC. The Genesis Realm had only a handful of NPCs, and almost all of them occupied powerful positions.
Although Arthur had claimed that he intended to use the items himself, his actual goal had always been to make money. Royal-grade equipment was no longer to his liking. Once he leveled up, he would be able to equip the epic-grade daggers he had obtained earlier.
"You can sell them for 4.5 Divine Gold, but since you are our first customer, we’ll give you a bonus and make it 5 Divine Gold. How does that sound?" the receptionist asked with a smile.
"I’ll take it," Arthur replied without hesitation. He handed her his adventurer card, and she inserted it into the same device as before. Instantly, the thirty items disappeared from the counter, and she returned the card to him.
"Nice doing business with you," she said with a smile.
"Likewise." Arthur took the card and smiled faintly.
[Ding! You have received 50,000 Divine Gold.]
The corners of Arthur’s mouth curled upward. The final limitation standing between him and his rise to the top had just vanished.
"Do you have any stealth skills and regeneration skills?" Arthur asked.
"We do. The stealth skill is Royal Grade, while the regeneration skill is Legendary Grade," the receptionist replied.
"Okay." Arthur nodded but didn’t purchase either of them. He had other plans for his Divine Gold.
Arthur left the guild and walked out of the town. By now, he could already see many unfamiliar figures entering the town. The people outside had probably already caught wind of what had happened.
He entered the forest and immediately began running toward the dungeon. Along the way, he casually slapped several common monsters to death, earning a little extra pocket money in the process.
After arriving in front of the dungeon, Arthur found that it was once again crawling with orcs. The monsters respawned every three hours, returning to guard the entrance just as before.
Arthur didn’t bother moving himself. He simply ordered his skeletons to charge forward and finish them off once again.
"Let’s level up," he said with a grin. "Use Divine Gold to level up."
[Ding! You have used 3,500 Divine Gold to reach Level 6.]
[Ding! You have gained 250 Attribute Points.]
[Ding! You have used 5,500 Divine Gold to reach Level 7.]
[Ding! You have gained 250 Attribute Points.]
[Ding! You have used 8,000 Divine Gold to reach Level 8.]
[Ding! You have gained 250 Attribute Points.]
[Ding! You have used 11,000 Divine Gold to reach Level 9.]
[Ding! You have gained 250 Attribute Points.]
[Ding! You have used 14,500 Divine Gold to reach Level 10.]
[Ding! You have gained 250 Attribute Points.]
Arthur had used a total of 42,500 Divine Gold. In terms of the outside world’s currency, that was equivalent to 425 trillion dollars.
Arthur sucked in a cold breath. The richest family or individual in Arvia possessed only around 10 trillion dollars in assets, and even he had been among the top ten richest people in Aethelgard.
Without hesitation, Arthur allocated all 1,250 Attribute Points equally among his five attributes, adding 250 points to each.
[Name: Arthur Miller
Class: Necromancer (Common)
Level: 10
Strength: 505
Agility: 505
Defence: 505
Vitality: 505
Mana: 505
Talent: Infinite Multiplication
Class Skills: Undead Summoning, Undead Revival
Attribute Points: 0
Summoned Units: 5]
Boom!
Arthur felt as though he had been injected with some kind of super-soldier serum. Immense strength surged through his body, flowing into every corner and filling every muscle with explosive power.
His current speed had reached 505 kilometers per hour, already surpassing the speed of many supercars in Aethelgard. With 505 points of Strength, his physical power was equivalent to 2,525 kilograms of lifting force, while his attacks could deal 2,525 points of raw damage to monsters.
He had officially stepped into the realm of superhumans.
[Ding! You have gained 63 Gold.]
His skeletons had already finished clearing out the orcs. Arthur immediately used his remaining five summons to summon five more Elite Skeleton Warriors.
The ten skeletons stood in two rows. The first five radiated an intimidating aura, while the newly summoned five looked almost like helpless pups standing beside them.
"Use Royal Gold to level them up."
Arthur needed 106,250 Royal Gold to level up the first batch, which was equivalent to 1,062.5 Divine Golds. After leveling up, each skeleton gained another 400 Attribute Points.
He then spent another 1,152.75 Divine Gold to level up the newly summoned batch of skeletons. Once again, he distributed their attributes equally.
[Name: Skeleton Soldier
Grade: Elite
Level: 10
Strength: 235
Defence: 200
Agility: 200
Vitality: 200]
Each skeleton had now reached Level 10 and possessed an unprecedented level of power. Arthur looked over them for a moment before nodding in satisfaction.
He had finally reached Level 10. From this point onward, he could begin bringing his power into the real world. However, Arthur wasn’t in a hurry.
There were still many things he needed to accomplish. First, he had to clear the dungeon on every difficulty. Then he would cultivate and create his core before finally going through the trial.
Only after completing the trial would his class be upgraded, allowing him to leave the beginner town and enter the city.
"Let’s clear the dungeon first," he thought.
Arthur appeared in front of the cave and placed his hand against its surface.
[Ding! Do you want to challenge the Graveyard of the Orcs?]
"Yes. Hell Mode."
The moment he confirmed his choice, a flash of light enveloped Arthur, and he was teleported into the dungeon once again.
This time, every monster inside was Elite Grade. Normally, these types of bizarre situation can only be found inside dungeons.
Outside, every monsters above common grade are boss monsters.
There were no normal elite or royal monsters there.
Only particular dungeons had this types of upper graded normal monsters.
But Arthur was extremely powerful now. Even if the dungeon had been filled with Royal Grade monsters, he was confident that he could slaughter them all. With his pair of Epic Grade daggers and their 500% damage amplification, his total raw damage reached 3,030.
That was only his raw damage. With his tremendous speed and 100% defense penetration, even Royal Grade bosses wouldn’t be able to survive against him for more than a few minutes.
"Begin."
The ten skeletons appeared in front of him, each one radiating an immense aura. They immediately transformed into blurs and charged forward.
Boom!
Clang!
Bang!
Crack!
One after another, the sounds of battle echoed through the dungeon as the skeletons slaughtered everything in their path.
Arthur moved as well. He didn’t intend to waste even a second because he wanted to clear the dungeon as quickly as possible.
Ten minutes later, Arthur arrived in front of the boss room together with his ten skeletons. He looked toward the massive golden gate and casually raised his hand.
"Open it."
The next moment, two skeletons stepped forward and pushed the towering golden gate open.
Arthur looked inside and immediately saw a massive twenty-meter-tall Royal Grade Orc Lord. Five Elite Grade bosses stood beside it, identical to the ones he had encountered in Hard Mode.
The five Elite bosses each possessed 40,000 HP, while the Royal Grade Orc Lord had a staggering 120,000 HP displayed above its head.
"Let’s see if you guys can keep up with the Elite bosses or not," Arthur said as he looked at his skeletons.
Boom!
All ten skeletons charged forward simultaneously. Each pair locked onto one of the Elite bosses, while Arthur himself moved directly toward the Royal Grade Orc lord.
