63: Did all the monsters commit suicide?

In the blink of an eye, Su Yan, using a teleportation scroll, returned to Sand Sea City.

At this time, the number of Human Race Players in Sand Sea City had clearly increased.

It was much livelier than when he first arrived this morning; almost everyone was shouting for teammates.

Su Yan didn't even have to think to know why.

On the Endless Desert map, all wild monsters now had their attributes reduced by 50%, and their experience points increased by 20%.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime leveling opportunity for all players on this map.

The buff would only last for 48 hours in total, so naturally, no one wanted to miss out.

As Su Yan walked through the crowd,

he discovered that there were many white-haired elderly players among them.

It seemed they wanted to take advantage of these two days to level up as much as possible to extend their lifespans.

As expected.

Su Yan was quickly recognized, and amidst enthusiastic shouts of "Big Boss Demon Slayer," he walked briskly toward the class change facility.

Upon arriving at the class change facility, he submitted his quest.

"Congratulations, you have successfully changed classes!"

A hint of joy flashed in Su Yan's eyes as he opened his character attribute panel.

[ID]: Demon Slayer

[Rank]: 1

[Class]: Second Awakening · God's Wrath Mage (Sub-class: Warrior)

[Talent]: ... [HP]: ... [Skill]: Judgment lv2 (Upgradable), Sanction lv2 (Upgradable), Purification lv1 (Upgradable)... Void Concealment lv1, Sky Riding Technique lv1

The God's Wrath Mage had successfully become a Second Awakening · God's Wrath Mage!

His three exclusive skills could be upgraded again!

Without hesitation, Su Yan immediately chose to upgrade his skills.

"You have spent a total of 15 million gold coins to upgrade the skills [Judgment], [Sanction], and [Purification]. Are you sure?"

He saw the inquiry button popped up by the System.

It was truly expensive!

Upgrading three skills cost 15 million gold coins; even robbing a bank wouldn't bring in money this fast.

Su Yan had intentionally looked into this.

For other ordinary classes, upgrading a set of skills after the First Awakening only cost 10,000 gold coins.

Even after the Second Awakening, it wouldn't exceed 50,000 gold coins.

So, the 15 million for the God's Wrath Mage was somewhat inhumane.

"As the saying goes, it's a good thing I have a solid foundation; otherwise, I really wouldn't be able to afford this!"

Su Yan clicked his tongue and selected confirm.

"Skill upgrade successful!"

[Judgment lv3]: Marks the target with Judgment regardless of their Rank. If the target's luck value is lower than your own, the Judgment is successful.

The target enters a weakened state for 20 minutes, dealing 2,000 (+1,000% HP) Spell damage.

CD: 2 seconds.

Mana Cost: 100... [Sanction lv3]: Executes a ruling on the target, ignoring Spell defense and all buff effects, dealing 2,000 (+10,000% HP) Spell damage.

If the target is in a judged state, an additional Sanction effect is applied, dealing 3,000 (+30,000% HP) Spell damage.

CD: 5 seconds.

Mana Cost: 200... [Purification lv2]: Releases Intermediate Divine Power to purify unknown areas within a 1,000-meter range, removing all dangerous auras and transforming them into explorable areas.

After Purification, within this area, HP, Defense, Spell Defense, and Speed are increased by 200%, and experience and rewards are doubled.

CD: 20 seconds.

Cost: 3,000 Mana... But upon seeing the effects of the skill upgrades, Su Yan once again felt it was worth every penny.

Not only was the skill CD greatly shortened and the range increased tenfold,

but the duration of the weakened state was now as long as 20 minutes.

Of course, the most important thing was that the damage had once again received a qualitative leap!

Calculating based on Su Yan's current HP of over 600,000.

With full critical hits and equipped with the dragons fury staff, Judgment alone could deal 460 million damage!

The additional damage from Sanction was as high as 28 billion+!

"Comfortable, this is the joy of a class change!"

Su Yan was in a great mood,

feeling that the 15 million gold coins spent were of excellent value.

Anyway, it wasn't his own money... With this Second Awakening,

Su Yan also obtained an [All Attributes +200] attribute pill.

For other Second Awakening players, this was something that could make them soar, significantly widening the gap with players below Rank 200.

But for him, the improvement wasn't that significant.

After consuming the attribute pill,

his Talent Tenfold Absorption began to stir.

"Now that the Second Awakening is complete, it's time to get the dungeon ranking rewards."

Stepping out of the class change facility, Su Yan thought without hesitation.

But it was also quite funny.

Originally, he had planned to stay in the Rank 500 dungeon until the National College Entrance Examination ended.

He could have used blood dawn to grind his HP up to over a hundred million.

But who would have thought his damage would increase like a rocket?

With his current damage, even the Rank 500 dungeon could no longer satisfy his appetite.

He still had to break through to the next map and grind the Rank 999 dungeon.

Therefore,

Su Yan's thought was that as long as he could keep moving forward, he wouldn't waste any time.

He would take the Rank 500 dungeon ranking rewards and leave.

Because as the map Rank got higher and higher, he would eventually get stuck on a certain map.

Just like the three Human Emperors,

as far as Su Yan knew,

Supreme powerhouses of the Human Race like the three Human Emperors had Ranks that were long a mystery, yet they were still stuck on certain maps today.

No one has cleared the Land of Divine Punishment yet to reach the so-called Holy Capital... The Rank 500 dungeon was called Desert Cave.

When Su Yan arrived, the place was crowded with players.

It was obvious that these players were also here for the monster debuff,

and basically everyone whose strength met the dungeon requirements was already here.

"Rank 500 dungeon speedrun team! 40-minute clear! Veteran players only! Veterans! Veterans!"

"Looking for S-rank Combat Talent for clear rankings! Dungeon monster attributes are halved, veteran experts come quickly!"

"Sigh, young people these days really have no shame!

They keep shouting for veteran players, but is being 125 years old not old enough? Why does everyone tell me to get lost?"

Listening to the surrounding noise, Su Yan almost burst out laughing.

What the hell, a 125-year-old veteran player!

Before the players could recognize him, Su Yan quickly reached the NPC at the dungeon entrance.

He didn't even bother to look at the historical clear rankings this time; after all, first place would soon be his.

However,

what he cared about was whether he could further improve the clear time.

And if he did, by how much.

Right now,

among the bustling crowd of players, Su Yan directly used the skill Summon God.

Selecting summon: Goddess of the Desert!

Whoosh!

"Master, Misha is honored to be at your service!"

A charming laugh reached his ears, as if someone were licking his ear canal.

It was cool, refreshing, and ticklish.

And at that very moment,

invisible Desert Divine Power quickly rippled out, enveloping the entire dungeon area in the blink of an eye.

The Goddess of the Desert did not appear; she only released her aura and Divine Power.

Su Yan tried to give her an order:

"Misha, within the next minute, have all the monsters on the map commit suicide."

"As you command, Master."

The command was issued, and the Divine Power spread out with a 'buzz.'

Immediately after,

"Long live the Goddess!"

"In my next life, I'll still be the Goddess's dog!"

He saw the Lizard Elite Warriors, Serpentfolk Warriors, and other wild monsters near the dungeon entrance suddenly, without warning, draw their blades and slit their own throats.

Puchi, puchi, puchi!

Blood splattered everywhere, and the ground was covered with corpses!

"Holy crap, what's going on with these wild monsters? They're committing mass suicide?"

"Could it be another bug?"

All the players in front of the dungeon were shocked, their heads full of questions.
