By the time Lorne returned to the village, it was already in ruins. Dust billowed everywhere.
The guards of the village took part in the battle.
In the end, the corpses of the NPCs filled the entire village alley.
One by one, Lorne looked over and finally saw the corpse of the missionary in the corner of the wall.
The NPC who issued the mission was dead!
Tsk!
The death of an NPC meant that the mission could not be submitted.
Naturally, he could not obtain the mission reward.
Lorne could barely contain his emotions after seeing this.
Fortunately, missionaries were ‘functional NPCs’ of the village. Even if they died, they would be revived in the temple after 12 hours.
In other words, he still had hope of obtaining the mission reward.
However, he had to wait for 12 hours.
With a heavy sigh, he headed toward the village square, where he saw the culprit of the missionary’s death.
It was a huge Slime King. Its entire height was more than two meters. When it bounced on the ground, it covered a range of at least ten meters. Many players could not dodge in time and were eventually wrapped in liquid and suffocated to death.
Instead of pushing his way through the hundreds of people, Lorne opened the forum and found a picture of the boss that someone had posted.
————
[Slime King]
Grade: Special Boss
Level: 10
HP: 9,551 / 100,000
Magic Attack: 240-320
Physical Defense: 130
Magic Defense: 100
Skills: [Sticky Spray], [Powered Jump].
Skill: [Healing]: Absorb 25% of the damage and turn it into health points.
Skill: [Summoning of the King]: Summons 50 small slimes. Consuming one will recover 200 health points. If killed, the small slimes will explode and cause 100% magic damage to the target.
Introduction: When it senses the appearance of powerful adventurers in the nearby villages, the Slime King will take the initiative to attack this village and kill all those who endanger its rule.

It was no wonder they had to fight it for so long.
When he saw the Slime King’s skills, he knew why.
First of all, [Healing] was a skill that any Slime would have. However, ordinary Slimes would not absorb more than 5% of the damage. However, this powerful Boss-level Slime could absorb 25% of the damage and turn it into health!
Coupled with the ability to summon monsters to recover, it was harder to kill it.
At this moment, hundreds of players were surrounding the Boss and attacking it.
-53
+38
-33
+37
-200 (Critical)
+75
….
Every time it was attacked, a green healing number would appear on the Slime King’s body. Coupled with its high defense ability, its health points did not decrease much at all.
There were even players with lower strength who attacked, causing it to recover its health points instead.
This was because the current players were only Level 6. The highest attack among them was only at 110 points.
Moreover, in the high-intensity battle, many top players lost their levels, causing their attack power to decrease further.
In this case, there was not much effective combat strength.
Fortunately, there were NPCs around to help them. Those high-level players did not need to face the Boss head-on, so the situation could be stabilized.
Right now, the Boss still had more than 9,000 health points, so Lorne was not in a hurry to act. Instead, he found a more suitable space to set up a stall to sell his equipment.
After farming in the forest for so long, there were indeed a lot of equipment that needed to be dealt with. It just so happened that all the players were in the square now, so he even saved the money to advertise in the chat channel.
…
“What’s going on? What’s that guy thinking? Everyone’s attacking the boss, but he’s actually setting up a stall?”
“Selling things in a place with such a large flow of people, he really has a talent for business.”
“He knows he has no hope of killing the boss, so he does this instead.”
“What a joke. What can a new player sell?”
“He should be a rookie!”
In such a chaotic battlefield, everyone was abnormally nervous. However, at this moment, they discovered a player setting up a stall. This immediately caused the surrounding people to laugh. They did not think that a new player would have good items.
…
Not far away, as the main combat force against the Boss, the Guild Leader of [Silver Snow Guild] “Twinkle Rose” was commanding the guild’s high-level players to attack the Boss.
However, at this moment, she saw a strange player in the corner of the city wall selling equipment.
Was it him?
Twinkle Rose’s beautiful eyes quivered.
That guy seemed to be the one she had seen in the alley.
A special player with three mutated pets!
With that in mind, Twinkle Rose could no longer remain calm, for she had sent people to search for the other party for a long time, but to no avail.
Now that she had finally encountered a ‘suspicious figure’, she naturally had to go up and investigate.
Twinkle Rose put away her thin sword and retreated from the center of the battlefield, walking towards the corner of the city wall.
As she neared, she saw the equipment shimmering on the ground. Her beautiful pupils dilated as she opened her mouth. Even her breathing quickened.
A glowing piece of equipment!
It was Bronze grade!
Twinkle Rose looked at the various equipment on the ground and was even more shocked.
[Rock Armor] (Bronze)
[Wave Sword] (Bronze)
[Forest Robe] (White Iron)
[Exquisite Bracer] (White Iron)
[Crude Warrior Leg Guard] (White Iron)
…
The drop rate of equipment in “Divine Realm” was very low. This was a rule that every player knew. Not to mention Bronze weapons, even White Iron weapons were treasures that players needed to fight for.
And in this stall, there were actually two Bronze items and 17 White Iron items!
There was also a Bronze-grade longsword among them. This was the equipment that made the Twinkle Rose’s heart beat faster.
For a swordsman, a high-grade battle sword was a treasure that could not be missed.
Furthermore, they were currently attacking the boss. If she could equip this longsword with excellent attributes, the chances of snatching the boss’s first kill would be higher.
Twinkle Rose’s chest pounded. She felt as if she was about to see her name appear on the system announcement.
Taking a deep breath, Twinkle Rose calmed herself down.
But at that moment, her gaze swept across the equipment level, and in the next second, she could not help but gasp.
“This is a Level 10 equipment!!”
