Quest Rewards: Class Promotion Book (13th Tier), Advanced Strategic Artifact, Reputation Points, Gold, and Resources.
As Lin Jin looked at the quest details, he realized how difficult this would be. Achieving a 13th-tier rank was an arduous task in this world. Usher, his most trusted lieutenant, had only reached 13th-tier after significant effort. Few players could achieve this, and the quest to promote to the 13th tier was not only rare but exceptionally hard to complete.
Normally, obtaining a 13th-tier class promotion book would require completing an Epic Quest. However, this specific task—toppling a queen ruling a dungeon—was far from simple.
The Dark Elf Queen was no ordinary ruler. Being called "queen" meant she likely commanded a vast array of loyal subjects, including many powerful heroes. Luckily for Lin Jin, Elena was a Dark Elf, and in this case, that worked to his advantage. If the quest had involved targeting the Forest Elves or the Sanctuary, Lin Jin would have to think long and hard before engaging in such a battle. With his current strength, he wasn't yet prepared to challenge the forces of the Justice Faction.
Accept Quest!
Without hesitation, Lin Jin accepted the quest. After all, there was no penalty for refusing it, and it had no time limits. Besides, Lin Jin knew he would face no real consequences for not completing the task.
Most other players would face the wrath of Elena if they failed, resulting in her leaving their faction, which would be an invisible penalty. But for Lin Jin, the outcome was of little concern.
After accepting the quest, Lin Jin led his forces back to the original point they had arrived at. There, he found a newly appeared Portal. Stepping through it, he returned to the island with his army in tow.
Once back on the island, Lin Jin mounted Ghost Dragon King and rode alongside his forces toward Eternal Night City. Elena, on the other hand, was stunned by the sights before her. As she rode on the back of the Ghost Dragon King, she looked down at the entire island in awe. She was still in a state of confusion.
What exactly is this master of mine?
She had sensed Lin Jin's exceptional strength from the beginning, which was why she had chosen to sign the Soul Contract so quickly. However, she now realized she had grossly underestimated him. The Ghost Dragon King, eight Ghost Dragons, four Soul Reaping Scythes, and ten Soul Wailing Riders—this was not something an ordinary necromancer could command.
After signing the contract, Elena could feel the pressure of Usher's presence and realized that his talents and abilities far exceeded hers. Despite being the daughter of the Dark Elf Queen, she had always been an exceptional hero within her clan. Yet, she now found herself inferior to Lin Jin's subordinates, including Usher.
Usher—the name seemed so familiar.
As Elena pondered these thoughts, she couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness. Here she was, standing on the back of a Ghost Dragon, overlooking an island full of resources, realizing that Lin Jin's forces were more powerful than anything she'd ever encountered. This island was an ideal stronghold for the Undead, a place that would open endless possibilities for them.
Ghost Dragon King's speed was unmatched, and soon, Lin Jin's forces arrived back at Eternal Night City.
"My lord," Litiya greeted, stepping forward to meet him.
While Litiya gave her usual respectful greeting, Elena stood frozen, her eyes dazed as she looked at Lin Jin.
Is this person's talent truly stronger than mine?
Elena couldn't help but question herself. It had been a long time since she felt inferior to anyone, but now, standing here, she was overwhelmed by the power of Lin Jin's subordinates, especially Usher.
She had always assumed she would become Lin Jin's right hand, but it was clear now that she was nowhere near as strong as some of his other subordinates.
As Lin Jin distributed his forces, he assigned Ghost Dragon King to Litiya to continue the battle, while Usher led his own forces to continue with their duties. Elena, having signed the contract, was given additional orders and sent on her way as well.
The good news was that Elena was not weak. Her strategic level had reached 13th-tier, which meant she had significant potential. Though she had been imprisoned for a long time, she still held substantial strength. Were she to start afresh, it would take much longer for her to regain her former power.
Lin Jin then mounted Ghost Dragon King once more and led the way. As Elena followed, riding behind him, she couldn't help but smile bitterly to herself.
What kind of existence is this master of mine?
But if I follow him, maybe revenge isn't entirely out of the question...
As they journeyed, Elena's confidence slowly began to return. She encountered Nagis, who was still exploring the island with his forces.
At least there are still weaker heroes like Nagis.
If Nagis's strength had surpassed hers, Elena might have truly doubted everything. But as it stood, she found some comfort in the fact that not all heroes were beyond her.
Nagis, leading a Great Necromancer army, looked up at the Ghost Dragon King overhead. Something felt off, but after a moment's pause, he turned his attention back to the battlefield, satisfied with the results as the undead forces swept through the island.
As Lin Jin reviewed the situation, he could see on the map that all of the island's resources were now under his control. His forces were rapidly advancing, and the island's mysteries were being revealed one by one.
"Next, I must visit the Withered Forest," Lin Jin murmured to himself, his plans unfolding before him. The island was nearly explored, and soon, he would prepare for his next objective.
