Chapter 121: A Pleasant Surprise

Tyr is staring at a chest but any ordinary chest. These blue steel chests with varied coloured doors depending on the quality. This chests lid is green. The values start at blue which is the same colour as the chest. This has plus one effect, then followed by green, red, orange. At this level getting a plus-four weapon would be game-breaking which is exactly why they are here. Three-man teams are second only to solo players but the three of them are like ten players so they should be able to get eh best rewards for themselves and still have enough left over for the guild. 

SKY Ocean hunter says, “who is going to open it?” This chest doesn’t have the golden chromatic steel lock which would indicate it needs a key.  Tyr steps back also he doesn’t want to open it because it might be trapped. Styx shakes his head he is willing to take the risk. He does swallow a little bit at the thought that the trap can be an instant kill. Styx pry the green quality is at the very least confirmed a plus two item. Styx hopes for something he can wear he doesn’t really need weapons. His build so far, outside of his armour which is level appropriate light armour he has a serious lack of rings, necklaces and bands. 

The glow subsides leaving behind a single item with a green glow. It is an interlocking series of triangles made into a small elegant necklace. Styx looks at the item lucky for it doesn’t need to be identified and can be used immediately

[Uncommon (Generic (2)) Magic Tool]

Information: A Necklace designed to aid a magician. 

Description: Adds a vegan, no a Megan, maybe a steven. [edit this to be appropriate]

Requirements: Level 25

Styx hands it SKY Ocean Hunter who takes only a moment to give it to Tyt saying, “I’m strong enough without this my recovery rate is insane at the moment and since I don’t have short cooldowns like you it will work much better.” Of course, he is correct but also they are all talented gamers. Styxs’ reasoning is because he really doesn’t like using magic which is why he is the weakest magically. SKY Ocean Hunter relies on his massive magic power reserve to toggle on a lot of active spells. Tyr is the only of them that would need an even higher magic power reserve. Tyr gladly accepts anything to increase his ability to spam spells. They have only just scratched the surface of what it means to be celestial. 

The necklace adds about fourteen per cent to Tyr total magic power reserve. The boys don’t find anything of note in the processing room. The entire lab was dedicated to the process of samples brought in from the wilds. They managed to find a document and a conveyer belt that makes them this is a processing room. Tyr says, “According to this document all the raw materials are processed from this lab into the next to be processed into usable samples. They worked with everything here even minerals and plants so hopefully, we will have better loot. In the more important labs.”

The next lab is a total bust, not a thing in sight just empty cages and dusty samples. This lab was made to extract the various samples into studiable pieces. The various lab tools here make it clear that this lab dealt primarily with flesh. Given the amount of time that has past only a few tools can be looted to be used by lifestyle players in the guild. Every tool helps until they can start making their own uncommon tools. Any tools of a lower quality produce more waste than anybody can afford. This is why every guild is currently trying to raise as many resources as possible to get their lifestyle players to the level of Apprentice being a Novice is not enough. Alistair is a resource sink that produces a working boat only thirty-three per cent of the time. 

The final lab is Tyrs’ favourite the amounts of mineables’ in this room is enough to make anybody go crazy and best of all the ores here are at least of uncommon quality. They spend a few minutes going over the notes and Styx says, “I was hoping of more enemies.” SKY Ocean hunter pounces too late trying to cover his friend’s mouth. Styx doesn’t seem bothered by what he has just done but he has never been as superstitious as his two brothers. To him, it was bound to happen anyway best to get over with as soon as possible. Tyr wraps up what he is reading and they all proceed towards one of the senior labs. Of course, it is the one that processes minerals. If Tyr can have a few more hauls like this he will be able to boost his forging skill by quite the amount. 

The first of the two senior labs leads to them being attacked as soon as the swoosh of the garage like door begins. The same grotesquely mutated lab workers. This time unable to launch a sneak attack SKY Ocean Hunter leaps forward to be the main tank and healer. Styx will support him with Tyr providing range support. At level, Thirty SKY Ocean Hunter has the highest strength at seventy-one. This gives him high damage. While his scales and sea armour give him the sustain he needs to tank damage. Plus with his healing aura only costing fifty magic power now he can keep it running indefinitely. 

A great tumbling thud smacks into one of the attacking Monsters. The crumbling of brittle ribs and the wailing of broken organs fill the air. Skewering slices from retractable blades dance across the bodies of the wrecked, then they are burnt to death by spirals of life-consuming fire. Each of these uncoordinated beasts rages forward without a care for the danger they are going to. Twenty-seven wretched souls are consigned to ether this day. A good start for a Guardian Spirit. As of level twenty-five, he has to ferry souls that are killed around him. In order to evolve his spirit form just like Frey. 

The fights lead them to pick up two of the three keys that they will from the dead bodies. Styx takes a lot of samples like fingers, blood that has gone white from infection and tooth samples and some for processing his findings will help SKY Ocean Hunter as an apothecary he will be able to mix them into unique potion or materials. The first is the basement key while the second leads east. Styx lifts up his left hand a fist crunching while doing. Then he vanishes moving like death towards a miniboss. The Former Senior supervisor has been turned into a bigger uglier and angrier version of the corrupted workers. 

SKY Ocean Hunter says, “Tyr shouldn’t this place have warding. Even common storehouses have warding against demonic infestation.” SKY Ocean Hunter doesn’t understand how the pinnacle civilisation to ever exist could not have demonic warding. Tyr shrugs he actually wants to find out too. This shouldn’t be technically possible it might also provide him with a clue as to why in the future Red Iron Island become a demonic zone. This is something he is desperate to stop he hasn’t seen any classic sign of demonic invasion. He never wants to go mining while being attacked by demons. 

The miniboss has a tattered lab coat with a badge on his lapel. The miniboss has a thicker golden collar that glows as he moves. Styx sends a countdown through chat to prepare for his attack. On one Tyr and SKY Ocean Hunter come out of hiding running and making noise towards the boss. The miniboss turns to face the source of the noise. On zero two red lines appear from behind the boss. Styx has launched his kidney shot a skill he got from the eastern Encampment with Frey. He really misses her she is a storm on the battlefield. Tyr is cool but she is deadly her shurikens deal both physical and magical damage. So even as a magically focused class, she is really impressive. 

The boss freezes for about three seconds, SKY Ocean Hunter blasts him with two water blasts. Pacing towards him. Instead of blasting him with fire Tyr empowers his spear to fight up close it will take of them attacking at the same to clear this boss. Styx spins and slices the miniboss. It suffers a huge loss of health even breaking out a second earlier from the damage it just received. 

Then suddenly let out a body freezing shriek that stuns all of them. Pulling a club out of one of the cages beside it. It rumbles forward toward SKY Ocean Hunter. It towers above him and swings his club without a care for anything several cages around are destroyed as it swooshes towards SKY Ocean hunter…
