Second World Novel

Chapter 132 - 132. Clearing The Dungeon



The Giant Queen Ant had obviously remembered this Fighter who had managed to deal a damage to it despite its absolute defense. Even though her damage was not as scary as the Warrior behind it, it would still be fatal if it received another damage. It broke to a stop while slashing both its front limbs forward.

Jeanny herself were not in good HP condition, so she also did not dare to make a daring attack. She whirled her spear to block both slashes. The Queen Ant was sufficiently cunning. As it saw Jack was gaining at it, It arranged so the slashes it deliver to Jeanny pushed her to Jack's direction, blocking him. It then squatted again, planning to make another leaping escape while Jack was being hindered by Jeanny.

"Use your spear to give me a boost!" Jack yelled while he continued running at his full speed even with Jeanny directly in front of him.

Good thing Jeanny could think fast and understood Jack's meaning. She held her spear horizontally while facing Jack. Jack jumped up and stepped on her spear while she heaved her spear up. In real life, this would not be possible as she would not have enough strength for it. But in this game world, she was a Fighter with high strength stat, hence pushing a full-grown man into the air was not out of the question.

Jack added his own push to his legs. By combining both his leg strength and Jeanny's push, his body shot into the air, just as the Giant Queen Ant made its jump. To the Giant Queen Ant's consternation, their bodies crossed in the air. Jack swiped his Storm Breaker right as the Queen Ant's head passed by him. It sliced the head cleanly off its body.

The two of them landed in the ground, with the difference was that the Giant Queen Ant crashed down without her head. Its head was bouncing a distance away before rolling to a stop.

All of them then heard a voice notification, "congratulations, your party have successfully cleared the Giant Ants Dungeon. Each surviving member receives 10,700 experience points and 3 gold coins"

It was soon followed up by another notification, "congratulations, your party is the first to clear the Giant Ants Dungeon, receiving first clear reward!"

And another, "displaying ranking in clearing the dungeon. Each member will receive dungeon clear reward based on their rankings:

First rank: Storm Wind

Second rank: Warpath

Third rank: Jeanny

Fourth rank: Selena

Fifth rank: Silverwing

Sixth rank: Queen Magenta

Seventh rank: Sinreaper

Eight rank: Bluedaze

Ninth rank: Honeycomb

Tenth rank: Silent Night

You may opt to leave the dungeons at any time," the notification ended.

Silent Night was the ranger from Wicked Witch that had gotten the first death, jack did not know about her name till now. He then received a private notification informing him that 3 gold coins and an item had been added into his inventory bag. He checked his bag and found a newly added item that looked like a lockpick with golden color.

Enduring lockpick (rare tool)

Lockpick count: 12

Replenish 1 count every hour

Increase lockpicking success chance by 5%

Jack was elated after reading its description. This tool would save him by reducing the need of keep on stocking up on lockpicks, and it had the additional ability to increase the success chance. Any additional success chance added would be a blessing as he had experienced how long it took to unlock one treasure chest.

A glowing light materialized in front of them and fell to the ground, it then turned into a small item with diamond shape, its design looked much like his adventurer and hunter badge. He inspected the item and found it to be the first clear reward, Guild Creation Token, that Silverwing and Queen Magenta had been targeting for.

Jack looked back at where the Giant Queen Ant's corpse used to be, the corpse had disappeared and in its place were seven items and a few coins. He went there and collected them before bringing them back to the group to be distributed. The Guild Creation Token was oddly still on the ground.

"Why are you not picking it up?" Jack asked Silverwing.

"We are waiting for you," he answered. "You are the only one that can pick up the first clear reward and Boss' loots."

"Heh? Why is that?" Jack was surprised.

"Because you are the first rank player."

"Is this the rule of the dungeon?"

"It is the rule we have selected," Silverwing explained. "When we first enter a dungeon, the group was given the option to vote for how to distribute the first clear reward and Boss' loots. The option was the loots will be decided by the leader of the party or the first ranker. Since we are formed from two different guilds and are not exactly trusting of each other, we just set the decision for the first ranker. So it will depend on our own ability."

"I see, but why did I not receive the voting chance?"

"You took your time when entering the dungeon," Sinreaper replied. "The voting process had ended on a majority of voice. So once the system detected six participants agreeing on the first ranker choice, it did not need your participation anymore."

Jack nodded. Ironically though, he was the one that ended being the one that the system had given the rewards to. He bent over and picked up the Guild Creation Token. He looked at it for a while, then tossed it over to Silverwing. He had no use for that thing.

"Much obliged," Silverwing commented with a smile. "Now, about the Boss' loots. We decided that the distribution's right will be at the hand of the first rank player, but it will still need to be distributed, so if you don't mind sharing the statistics so we can choose. Of course, you will have the priority to choose as agreed beforehand."

"Hehe, does this mean if I want to, I can just keep all the loots?" Jack asked with a playful smile.

Sinreaper frowned at the words, but Silverwing kept wearing his amicable smile.

"I believe you are not that kind of person," he said.

"You shouldn't put your trust too much on me," Jack replied, "but you are right, I'm not that kind of person. All right, I will make my pick first, then I will show you the rest of the six items. As you see, they are all still in my hands and not yet put inside my storage bag, so you know I ain't cheating."

"That's fair," Silverwing said.

---------------

Before Jack delivered the killing blow to the Boss, Warpath and the others were still on their way to exit the dungeon. Unfortunately for them, the path that they had took before had been repopulated by another batch of Giant Ants and Giant Ant Warriors.

They had been fighting their way to the exit for a long while now, but they were still only half-way through. The reason they took such a long time was because they no longer had any recovery potion left. Hence, they were engaging the monsters with extreme care.

They made sure they didn't pull too much monsters to combat at a time, and in the fight, they focused more on defense so as not to lose any HP. It was a tiresome fighting style, all three of them had been wearing dark faces along the way.

"Damn it! This is really a fiasco! It's a big mistake to ally with those incompetent White Scarfs people. I should know better!" Queen Magenta just could not stop grumbling every other minute.

"This is all because of that pretentious Storm Wind," Warpath said. "He was just acting like some expert which he is certainly not. We have completely wasted a spot in the Party when we could have taken a better player who can contribute."

"That's right! I will make sure to settle this failure with him once we are out of here!" Queen Magenta exclaimed.

"Let me know, I will gladly help! No fee for that," Warpath was gleeful. At least failing this dungeon was not completely fruitless, he could soon get rid of an eyesore of that Storm Wind who had dared to steal his spotlight during the Tutorial period.

When they were still grumbling, they heard a voice notification, "congratulations, your party have successfully cleared the Giant Ants Dungeon. Each surviving member receives 10,700 experience points and 3 gold coins"
