When the giant Ruin Basilisk died, the other three were already in critical states. Duke Alfredo turned to the three and was about to cast his spell when Jack promptly shouted at him, "Your Grace, wait! Just let us finish these three. There is no need for you to trouble yourself!" Duke Alfredo chuckled and said, "it's no trouble." Three spears of light impaled the three basilisks and sent them to their graves. '@ $!' Jack was peeved. He was not really worried about troubling the duke, he simply didn't want the duke to shave away the exp points. When the giant Ruin Basilisk died, the players received no exp at all as they didn't involve with the combat in any way. While for the three smaller basilisks, even though the soldiers under them contributed the most in chipping the monsters' HP, the final blow still generated a large portion of the exp points. Now that the duke was the one dealing the killing blow, it was similar to taking away half of their income. Out of the two days journey, in addition to these three ruin basilisks, many of the players had reached level twenty-nine with the remaining still at level 28. They were only one level away from reaching the level where they could attempt their Elite class trials. Jack himself still stayed the same, at level twenty-seven Warrior and twenty-six Mage. For the dropped loots, they distributed equally among themselves as usual. Same as previous, Jack's gains were primarily on the souls. Even for the giant Ruin Basilisk which he got no exp from, he still received its full souls. There were seventy-two thousand one hundred twelve souls inside his container. Not as great as what he got from the war, and far from what he got from the Grim Sand Drake, but he could not expect every monster to give a crazy amount as that drake. He used seventy thousand souls to level up Sword of Light to maximum, and Arcane Turbulence to level 5. Sword of Light, level twenty over twenty (Active skill), star: one Sent sword energy in a linear direction, sword energy deals six hundred percent physical damage, thirty percent added Critical Chance. Cooldown: two minutes fifty-four seconds He might be the only player in this game world that had so many skills and spells maxed out already at this stage. The others could only level up theirs by using free points from level up or Skill books which were very rare. They had also got a few of these skill books from the minions killed during this expedition. At that time, Jack showed no interest and just let them bid for it amongst themselves. The others thought that he was being magnanimous for not fighting for the books. Some of Jack's spells had also upgraded after repeated usage. His Mana Bullets and Energy Bolts had reached the third star. His Power Strike which was originally at the head start had lacked behind since he mostly only used ranged attacks to support the soldiers during this expedition. After the ruin basilisks were disposed of, they did not meet any more opposition on their way to the temple. Before long, they arrived at the outside of the temple. It was more like a ruin rather than a temple. Most of its walls and roofs were gone, but at least it still looked like a structure, unlike the Starlight Ruin which he saw in the past that completely had no roof anymore. Commander Quintus organized the soldiers to station around the huge structure and sent out several scouts to the perimeter to watch in case the orcs returned. Duke Alfredo led a small team to begin an investigation into the temple. He was most eager to complete this expedition. All the outworlders were included in this team. The inside of the temple was strangely empty, devoid of monsters, as shown by Jack's radar. 'Probably they had been scared away by the huge army?' Jack thought. They continued to proceed through the empty hallway until they reached the main hall which was surprisingly fully intact. At one side of the hall was a large stage which should be where the orator made their speech. But instead of a preacher, there was a strange-looking opening on the wall behind the stage. It looked as if silvery liquid material was constantly moving around on the vertical surface. Most of the players recognized that energy portal.
