MMORPG: Rebirth of the Mortal Online

Chapter 248: Reborn Knight



In the underground crypt, the walls were lined with ancient inscriptions and eerie symbols, casting a foreboding atmosphere.

The light flickered ominously, creating dancing shadows that seemed to come alive in the darkness, and the coffins creaked open one by one as if beckoning the living to join them in eternal slumber.

It was like straight from a horror movie.

This underground crypt was quite massive, with stone walls lined with cobwebs and rats scurrying about.

It was like there were hundreds of dusty hallways leading nowhere in particular. The air was thick with the smell of decay and dampness, like the stench of death was lingering around every corner.

At that moment, a door opened by the entrance of the underground crypt, and Adam stepped through, his greatsword already in hand.

The door closed behind him.

'50th floor, underground crypt.'

He didn't choose this floor because he was attracted to its ominous atmosphere, but because of one simple reason.

This floor had a lot of Chaosbeings-a lot.

More than any floor before this.

There were some floors above this that had an even greater number, but he wasn't confident in surviving through those floors.

After all, he wasn't even Royal Mercenary yet, and he was alone in the 50th floor.

In most cases, it would be suicide to attempt Solo Clear on a floor as high as this with his strength.

Solo Clear-a greatest achievement mercenary could achieve.

To go alone in the dungeon and clear that floor all by himself.

That achievement didn't hold any weight below the 50th floor, but from this floor onwards, Solo Clears were rarity because the bosses were so incredibly annoying to deal with alone.

One needed a whole party to deal damage, tank, heal, and support each other.

'This is a good place to start my grinding journey.'

Adam stepped deeper into the crypt.

Usually, it was suicide to go alone to the dungeon. It was because if he was discovered by any rogue party of mercenaries, they would just kill and rob him.

However, the whole mercenary world was so occupied with the war that he had enough confidence to enter the dungeon alone.

Also, he was quite confident in escaping with his wings.

That was also one of the reasons why grinding wasn't that worth it-grinding with a whole party was slow and ineffective-grinding alone was extremely dangerous.

One also needed to focus on the Three Powers and the skills to become powerful, not only level.

Adam was already extremely high level in Three Powers, and while his skills were somewhat lacking, he hoped that he would get some strong skills from the crypt.

'Let's check my interface and go from there.'

Adam then made the interface disappear.

It was a very long way to go for level 25, but he planned on grinding for the following months without stopping even for a moment.

It was the perfect time to focus solely on leveling up.

He doubted that the war would continue any time soon because all the factions were

exhausted and needed time to recover.

Now that the Imperium City was gone, the large-scale battles would become more frequent, and to gather an army for those, they needed time to gather one.

'Let's start grinding.'

Adam entered the first stone chamber. It had some closed coffins, covered in cobwebs, and at the far end stood a tall, ominous figure.

However, it wasn't a living figure, just a stone statue of a warrior holding a sword.

Yet Adam charged at the statue and stabbed his greatsword at the center of his chest. The blow created a crack that spread across the statue and then finally shattered into a thousand

pieces.

Under the stone layer, a muscular man, filled with flesh, bone, and blood, opened his eyes and let out a roar that shook the ground.

The coffins opened, and skeletons hopped off, clicking their teeth as if they were singing.

Adam swung the greatsword across the skeletons and hacked off their skulls. He then turned back and faced the newly-born man, who was almost as tall as the ceiling.

Since the skeletons died, he acquired his first bits of experience points, but it was a very minuscule amount.

The knight approached him and brought down his heavy sword with a thunderous force.

Adam jumped out of the way. The sword hit the ground and cut through the stone floor like

butter.

With the greatsword, Adam swung straight back at him, but the knight masterfully brought his sword up and deflected the blow with ease.

The knight pushed his greatsword away and slashed towards Adam's exposed side, but he was able to bring back his greatsword and smacked the heavy sword away.

They swung their swords at the same time and clashed them together with a loud clang.

With a flash of speed, Adam jumped to the wall, used it as a pivot, and launched himself back

at his opponent.

The greatsword slashed through the knight's shoulder, leaving a bloody gash on his flesh.

However, instead of crimson blood, it was a dark, viscous liquid that oozed out.

After landing back on the ground, Adam slashed his sword back at the knight, but he stomped

his foot down on the sword, trapping it under his weight.

Adam gritted his teeth but couldn't move his sword from its position.

At that moment, the knight pointed his finger at Adam, and the nail started glowing like a

beacon in the night.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Three light beams shot out from the knight's nail and pierced through Adam's chest,

shoulder, and waist.

"Argh!" Adam coughed out blood.

[-300 HP!]

[HP: 1000/1300]

"Shield Charge!"

Instead of using his shield, he used his shoulder and tackled the knight off his greatsword. It

sent the knight flying to the end of the stone chamber, crashing into the wall with a loud thud.

"Minor Healing." Adam healed his bleeding wounds and stopped the bleeding.

The knight stood back up and charged at Adam as if it had no fear.

Adam pointed his hand at the knight and shouted. "Push!"

An invisible push sent the knight flying across the chamber.

With his Magick level now being level three, his strength of magic spells had increased

drastically!

The knight struggled to stand up.

Adam grabbed the greatsword with both hands and threw it. However, he didn't throw it at

the knight, but at the ceiling above it.

Once the greatsword stabbed through the ceiling above the knight, Adam pointed his hand

towards it.

"Pull!"

With the pull, the greatsword started moving towards Adam, but it caused the ceiling toNôv(el)B\\jnn

collapse on top of the knight.

The knight got buried and soon after stopped moving.

Ding, ding.

[You killed Reborn Knight!]

[300 XP Acquired!]

[XP: 330/9000]

The greatsword returned to his hand.

'First Reborn Knight killed. A few more to go...'

Adam then approached one of the coffins as there was a faded-colored letter lying on the

ground.

After picking it up, he started reading it through.
