Fateful Secret Realm — Village of Despair 2 (Nightmare Mode)
Minimum Participants: 8
Recommended Level: 30
Dungeon Completion Condition: Kill Bright Resentment, Current Progress 0/1
Introduction: Originally, the Village of Despair should have been freed with the death of the Despairing Resentful Corpse.
However, the Despairing Resentful Corpse ultimately died under the holy light it hated most. Before its hatred dissipated, it saw the staff and robe of the one who had sealed it back then.
Memories from its past life surged like a spring, and the wraith's grudges could not be erased. Eventually, they reconsolidated into the Bright Resentment.
Freed from the shackles of a rotting body, it became even stronger. The Village of Despair plunged into a deeper despair, destined to never end...
Seeing this new quest, everyone understood what was going on.
During dungeon completions, some dungeons under certain conditions trigger hidden stages, allowing people in class advancement to face a second phase of the dungeon trial.
The chance of this is really low because dungeons are rare, and the conditions to trigger hidden stages are usually very strict. There are few historical records of this.
Now, it was unclear whether to call it lucky or unlucky, but Lu Fan and his group actually triggered the hidden stage and entered the second phase of the Village of Despair dungeon trial.
From the introduction, Lu Fan guessed the trigger condition was that the Despairing Resentful Corpse finally died under a holy light skill, and the dungeon completion rewards included the Holy Light Seal and the Twilight Holy Light Robe.
This trigger condition is indeed obscure, but who else to blame when their team had Qin Qiu, a Holy Light Archmage, who actually obtained the Holy Light Seal and the Twilight Holy Light Robe?
At this moment, Lu Fan could still stay calm, but Sun Ge, Qin Qiu, and the others turned pale.
Qin Qiu's face was bloodless, and the knuckles holding the Holy Light Seal whitened slightly from the grip: "This... it seems my hidden class is to blame for triggering the dungeon's hidden stage... If I hadn't attacked the Despairing Resentful Corpse back then, maybe we wouldn't have been brought back here..."
Sun Ge sighed and said, "Who would have thought this dungeon had a hidden stage?"
"This is a nightmare-level dungeon, and the level is raised to 30. Even with Lu Xiao as backup, I doubt we can handle it. In my opinion, we should quickly find the exit and avoid fighting any monsters here."
"There is only one monster in the entire dungeon, definitely a Boss-level creature. If we encounter it, we are likely doomed."
The others nodded, having no intention to farm the dungeon rewards.
Come on, the Despairing Resentful Corpse was already this strong, and now the dungeon's difficulty and level are both upgraded. Who would dare to aim for the rewards?
Just as everyone considered retreating to find the exit, Lu Fan, who had not spoken, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid leaving won't be so easy."
Just as Lu Fan finished, everyone heard the sound of water growing louder, soon becoming like thunder, roaring continuously.
Everyone turned toward the sound and saw the nearby small lake churn again, as if a giant hand was kneading it. Soon, all the foul-smelling water rose into the air, changing shape constantly.
Quickly, the water gathered into a five-meter-tall humanoid shape, resembling a magnified version of the Despairing Resentful Corpse, except its hands lacked rusty chains.
The dungeon's only monster appeared, only about ten meters from Lu Fan and the others.
It would be hard for them to run now.
Everyone used Identification on the creature's attributes. After one glance, despair spread from all but Lu Fan to the rest.
This, surely, was true despair.
Bright Resentment: (Nightmare-level Boss, actively aggressive monster)
Level: 25
Strength: 386
Agility: 249
Spirit: 435
Endurance: 398
Skills:
Resentful Body (Passive, Bright Resentment has no physical form, immune to physical attacks)
Resentful Light (Passive, Light attribute attacks increase the wraith's hatred, thereby enhancing its power)
Resentment Prison (Uses its grudges to form a prison that traps enemies)
Grudge Shock (Releases grudges causing lethal damage, and inflicts Poison, Weakness, Continuous HP loss, Stun, Frenzy, and other negative effects)
Though its level remained unchanged, upgrading from a Hard-level to a Nightmare-level Boss doubled its attributes!
Furthermore, the two passives rendered both Lu Fan and Qin Qiu helpless against it.
If it is immune to physical attacks, and Lu Fan's attacks are useless, who else can harm it?
Its extremely high Spirit and Endurance points made it impossible for anyone present to break its defense.
This Boss was truly terrifying.
What's more terrifying, after it appeared, it released its grudges, forming a resentment prison with a diameter of one hundred meters, blocking Lu Fan and the others' retreat.
Escaping the dungeon had become nothing but a luxury.
