BXBX NOVEL Chapter 90 - Clear The Mansion
Description: The mansion is too cheap due to the infestation of the undead inside and due to the influence of a lich living in there. Liberating the area will make the place great again.
Objective: Clear the area
Rewards: Mansion available for purchase, 50,000 EXP, and ???
The rewards look good, 50,000 exp is already a lot and with the question marks, it would mean a good reward is also available for the picking. If that was not enough, the undead and the lich is another different monsters that might drop items and equipment, alongside with coins and experience, those things are a lot of bonus to expect. Since the enemy is a lich and from my past life is also a Necromancer, farming here would be a really good idea.
I waited until around afternoon game time to head in the place. I also made sure to bring Lina with me this time which is excellent because it\'s her free time around the afternoon which coincides with the time I wanted to tackle the quest. During the afternoon, undead creatures get a little bit stronger but they drop better items and bigger amount of experiences. The effect intensifies during the night and the effect will get nerfed a lot during the daytime, making them weak and vulnerable in the daytime.
It is something I discovered personally and I made a guide like this in the past timeline to those who wanted to grind levels and gold until a certain threshold. I experimented and compared things during daytime and nighttime which made me able to notice the difference of the undead during certain phases of the day. Most players just disregard the undead creatures as weak but get overwhelmed especially if they are under the night sky.
"Master, shouldn\'t we be killing these monsters during daytime for easy clear? Why are we doing the job during the afternoon?" Lina asked.
"We will be grinding levels, Lina. Since your level is not that high yet, it would be great if you get your level high. Besides, there is a necromancer who will constantly summon the undead monsters so the monsters in question won\'t run out. Isn\'t that a great way to grind levels until we can\'t gain levels anymore?"
When I said that, Lina was baffled and confused. Since she was confused, I explained to her the rule of killing undead monsters to make them profitable and worth to farm.
"As expected of Master, even the slight changes in the monster\'s trait is also part of your methods. I honestly don\'t have any idea that it was the case," Lina said with a newfound motivation in her eyes.
We are just around the path towards the mansion but the negative energy being released around the area is totally heavy. The plants around the place start to wither due to the miasma while the trees on the nearest vicinity have already withered and died, leaving their trunks that once show their glory during the early days remaining standing around.
The undead that prowls around the area is also quite common and even though we are still far from the mansion, the undead already reached this far.
"I will let you take care of the individual undead first. Once they are gathered in groups, I will be participating," I said.
"Okay, Master!"
Lina took out her whip and quickly made her move towards the undead monsters. I already told her to target the undead on their heads to kill them immediately so when she executed the actions, she was a killing machine with the whip. It didn\'t take that much time before we arrived at the gates of the mansion where all the undead monsters are gathered.
Checking Lina\'s level, she managed to raise her level to level 60 immediately despite hunting a few scattered undead around. What if she kills most of the undead inside? She will immediately hit level 100! Unfortunately, that won\'t be happening since I needed to clear it today and pass the confirmation tomorrow. If I want to grind here a lot, I have to do it before the deadline.
Aside from that, the amount of undead gathered on the gate is just too much. Getting inside is almost hard without getting suffocated from the undead.
"What shall we do about this Master? The amount of the undead monsters are just too much for the two of us!"
"No worries about that. If we can\'t handle them all on our own, we will call for help!"
SNAP!
I snap my fingers and the two forces I keep a secret to all players appeared and answered my call.
"Master, we have arrived!" Atlas said as he bows down in front of me.
Lina did not expect their sudden appearance that she quickly readies her whip.
"What the...?"
"Relax Lina, have you forgotten about them? Those are Leona and Atlas, you know, during that time when we are dungeon diving?"
"Ah? Leona and Atlas?! But they didn\'t look the same! Are they still the same guys I saw last week? How come there are so many changes already?!"
"Don\'t underestimate the power of fusion and leveling up!"
Leona is already focused on the undead wriggling their frail dead arms to the gate while trying to reach out to us.
"Master looks like I am sensing a strong aura in this area that commands these filthy monsters. Are these the reasons you called us here?"
"Yes. But my reason that I summoned the two of you here is to increase your levels. Killing the mastermind will just destroy your chances to raise your level and increase your strength. It would be a good idea to test your skills here as much as you want until dawn."
"Hmm, killing these weaklings might not prove to be a challenge but I also wanted to get stronger to get revenge to that "god" as fast as possible. I also wanted to test my new powers too so this is a perfect opportunity. Very well, I will do that."
Leona doesn\'t mind either. Due to that, we started the clearing operation. Of course, this is not considered clearing. It is more like grinding. Lina is able to sufficiently kill the undead one after another and the bigger and dangerous undead versions were all smashed and killed by Atlas and Leona without sparing them. Since they are my companions, they all share experience points with m,e and with the help of my title Memento Mori, it allowed me to help these guys quickly gain experience. Aside from that, I decided to raise my proficiency in the Cleric class. Since I will be focusing more on assault classes, support classes like the Cleric will be hard to gain SP. Since I am almost useless in this fight due to how most of the enemies are more likely killed by Atlas, Leona, and Lina, raising my proficiency in Cleric class will fetch me a lot of SP which increased further due to the help of Death\'s Favorite\'s effect.
The progress visibly slowed down when we reached around nighttime. It was normal since most of the undead monsters will start to get stronger, making them more resilient against attacks than before. However, despite the large difficulty spike, it didn\'t hinder that much on our progress except that it slows us down a little bit.
"I never expected that the undead would be able to get stronger like this. So this must be the effect of the darkness eh? Looks like I underestimated them a little bit. This may not be a bad thing," Atlas said as he continues to pound the undead left and right.
Leona seems to have no problem with them and just blows them around using the wind and cut them up with wind blades. Lina kills also significantly slowed down too after the undead got stronger but she is still able to kill lots of them without any problem.
My Cleric SP is now around 543 after the constant usage of skills for the cleric. Later on, I will be spending them on the passive skills of the cleric that will allow me to gain a larger amount of recovery power as well as my skills in recovering others might surpass the potions.
The battle continues until I saw the time in-game that shows that the sun is about to rise. Aside from that, the lich that has been the one summoning the undead seems to be fed up from summoning endless undead which ends up being grounded to dust by the three.
"You trespassers dared to disturb my domain! You are all prepared to die!"
