Rebirth Of The Gaming God 11 The Place Where The Dead Resides

"At the lowest part of this Temple lies the Grave of the Kings", Wolf Hound said.

"How did you know?", Zeek asked

"The tablet near the entrance explains the structure of the temple, this temple has 3 levels, The Courtyard of the Dead, The House of the Undying, and the final one is the Grave of the Kings located on the back of the Temple. Are you sure that this is the right place of your quest?", Wolf Hound asked.

"I Think this is the place that Zafir instructed me to investigate", Zeek said.

"Zafir!?.... Za. . . Fir the Archive Manager!?", Wolf Hound and his party were shocked about Zeeks answer while Zeek walked near the Tablet of the Temple and started looking at it.

"Why?, Is he famous or something?" Zeek asked

"No one has seen Zafir's face!, he is one of the four demons who rule the Demon Clan, the locals call him Zafir the Eternal Flame, The Greatest Mage named Pride, the last survivor of the Great Holy War!" Wolf explained.

As soon as Zeek heard the name Pride his entire body felt a sudden chill.

"Zafir is Pride!?, As in Pride ! one of them the seven deadly sins of the Great Holy War!?" Zeek said in shocked

"Y...You don't know?"Wolf Hound said.

"That explains a lot," Zeek said.

"So this mission, did Master Zafir gave it to you?", Wolf Hound asked.

"Yes, I brought an item that he planned to unseal, but he said that his power is not enough to unseal it.", Zeek said.

After Zeek said that, all of them felt a sudden realization, a chill started to crawl on their skin.

"An Item that the greatest magician of the Demon Empire can't unseal!?, does an item like that even exist in the early part of the game?", Wolf Hound was curious about the ident.i.ty of the item that Zeek mentioned.

Zeek felt excited to know what that cursed item can be, it's like opening the pandora's box of sins.

"Let's finish this quest so that we can see what that item is!", Zeek said.

"Endless can I tell you something," Healing Ray said.

"What is it?", Zeek answered.

"Do you realize that the information that you shared with us is dangerous?" Healing Ray said.

"Dangerous? will you be endangered just by knowing this?", Zeek asked.

"If an item like that is available in the game many guilds will look and hunt the person who owns it", Healing Ray explained.

"I don't care, if they want the item then they'll just have to defeat me, "Zeek's smiling face then turned serious and the air around the whole team became cold, Zeek then revealed a sinister smile, giving the party a creepy feeling.

"Fight me if they dare, I'll kill every last one of them, even if they can kill me I will rise up and be sure to pay them double of what they do to me."

With a harsh reply the party of Wolf Hound felt the gravity and pressure that Zeek uttered, they know that a person with the power to talk to an authority like the Archive Manager Zafir is not a pushover like the other players in the game.

As the party soon approached the ma.s.sive stone door in front of the great temple the stone pillars began to crumble, the party looked at the ma.s.sive door in graved with a ma.s.sive skeleton in both sides of the door, the dust began to appear accompanied by sudden tremors, and the two giant skeletons started to move.

"Who dares to enter the Grave of the Kings!?" both of the skeletons talked simultaneously,

"The Great tombs of the kings lies in this temple, No human shall pa.s.s in these doors!"

"T...The Skeletons talked!", Wolf Hound and the others were shocked.

"Is this normal?" Zeek said.

"N...No, many players tried to enter the temple, that's why even us normal players know about this place, but guides say that the door cannot be moved, others tried climbing the walls but an invisible defense renders them. We as a team also tried if we can trigger something different, like an event or something but like the other players we also returned empty-handed. . . This is the first time that the engraving on the doors moved and talked." Wolf Hound said.

"I see, so the quest triggers this event", Zeek a.n.a.lyzed the NPC in front of him, he used Shadow Inspect but didn't saw an HP Bar.

Zeek approached the door and an invisible wall blocked his way, as Zeek touched it, the wall started to disappear.

"You have the cursed of the Shadow King!, Oh great descendant of the Cursed Ones, we shall make a path for the One who bears the mark of the cursed."

Suddenly Zeek's forehead revealed a mark of the sword and dagger.

"You possess the mark of the Shadow of Destruction, we servants welcome you to the land of the dead".

The door began to move while the others stare at Zeek with dumbfounded looks.

"B...Boss, he opened it, just like that. " Dark Instinct said.

"D...Don't post anything about this matter, nothing happened here today, do you understand?" Wolf Hound said while the others nodded.

The team entered the Temple and arrived at the place called The Courtyard of the Dead, surrounded by a garden of dead flowers and leafs and in the middle lies a ma.s.sive fountain made of marble with a statue of a woman carrying an urn made of bones, on the base of the fountain a red ruby shines bright followed by other pale rubies encircling the fountain.

Suddenly the ground started to move and skeleton began popping out of the ground.

"Prepare to battle!" Wolf Hound shouted and he cast Guardian Soul and Guard Up Buffs followed it up by a taunt skill called Battle Roar, Skeletons started to move where Wolf Hound is located.

"Healing Ray!, do you have an AOE heal?", Zeek asked

"I have Healing Wind, but it consumes a lot of MP", Healing Ray said

"Don't worry about the MP potions, cast Healing Wind to Wolf Hound, make sure to include the skeleton mobs that he lures. Other melee attackers!, gather beside Wolf Hound and deal damage as much as you can, make sure to stick beside Wolf Hound so you can also receive Healing Wind." Zeek ordered.

With the help of Healing Wind, the party easily killed the mobs that Wolf Hounds lure.

"These skeleton soldiers give a lot of exp boss! this place is a great leveling spot!", Fire Starter said.

"Even the resp.a.w.n of these monsters are fast, if this continues our level will catch up to the Experts on the Leader Boards!" Healing Ray said.

After 3 hours of grinding the resp.a.w.n speed of the skeleton started to slow down, but the team still insist on defeating every monster in the vicinity.

After another hour of grinding Zeek noticed the fountain had changed, Zeek ordered the team to stop and regroup away of the mobs.

"Why are we stopping?," Wolf Hound asked.

"The Statue. . . It changed before we walked here I examined the fountain. The base only consists of one glowing ruby, but now. . . only one ruby is not shining" Zeek said.

"Did we made the rubies glow?", Healing Ray asked.

"Yes, but first organize the loots that we acquired before we continue, prepare for a possibility of a Boss fight", Zeek said.

Wolf Hound and the others started to loot the remaining items on the ground, after arranging all the loots Wolf Hound gave it to Zeek.

"You divide the loots, as promised you will have the priority on the items", Zeek said.

"We are not that greedy, because of you we have the chance to farm ma.s.sive exp. the items are just a bonus, and you're the strongest here, you need better equipment if a boss appears.", Wolf Hound said while the others nod.

Zeek examined the items and saw some interesting ones.

"I'll get this item, you can divide the rest of the equipment and sets, just give me the all the ingredients and the equipment that you don't need". Zeek said.

"Are you sure!?, this item is worth 5 golds at least, and you're just giving it to us?", Wolf Hound said.

"We defeated does monsters as a team, so we divide the item as a team, this are the only items that I need, so take what you desire on those loots," Zeek said while smiling.

After distributing the loots Zeek acquired dozens of duplicate items for archers and other jobs, so he decides to keep it and gave it to Grid and the others.

After Grinding for 4 hours Wolf Hound and his team are already level 24 while Zeek is only level 22 with 70% exp bar to level up.

Suddenly Zeek's notification popped up.

"A call from Grid? are they done with the 2nd job quest?".

Zeek answered the call.

"Yoh!, Light and the others are done with the quest, will run the Trials of the forest again, you wanna come?" Grid said.

"Don't run it, for now, follow these coordinates and come here as fast as you can.", Zeek said.

"Okay, will be right there!" Grid dropped the call.

"Do you mind if I invite some of my friends to help us here?", Zeek asked Wolf Hound

Wolf Hound and the others just smiled and nodded.
