Sacrifice's Rise: I Became Invincible After Entering Godslayer Temple

Chapter 72 Chapter71-The Eye of Medusa!

In fact, Blue Sea wasn't a fool.

His repeated refusals were partly due to his nature; he didn't like to take advantage of others.

But more importantly, Blue Sea wanted to seize this opportunity to get closer to John.

Before exploring the Dark Spirit Realm, Blue Sea thought he had overestimated John's strength.

But to his surprise, John's performance exceeded his expectations.

Killing two Elite Bosses above level 100 in one hit.

Such terrifying strength, it's likely to be unique and unmatched in the whole game.

For such a master, Blue Sea naturally didn't want a few items to affect their relationship.

After instructing the guild's finance officer to start collecting gold, Blue Sea put the items in his backpack.

The group continued their journey along the silent path in the middle of the Black Soil Swamp.

As they walked side by side, Blue Sea asked John tentatively, "Galewind, what level are you now?"

John responded with a slight smile, "Should be pretty high."

Blue Sea probed further, "You haven't surpassed level 100, have you?"

"Almost..."

Blue Sea was at a loss for words.

After grinding for months with the backing of a whole guild's power, he had just crossed the threshold of level 50.

Meanwhile, Galewind had leveled up so fast by solo grinding.

That was terrifying.

It's a good thing that Blue Sea didn't know John's actual level.

Otherwise, he would have doubted his perception!

After a moment, Blue Sea seemed to recall something and mused, "That reminds me, a while ago, an anonymous player suddenly shot up to level 50 when everyone else was still around level 10. This player topped the level leaderboard. That was you, wasn't it?"

John smiled calmly, not giving a direct answer.

But in this case, no response was as good as a yes.

Blue Sea got the message.

However, Blue Sea wasn't too surprised about John's high level.

Top gamers like John could always come up with more advanced techniques.

It was their unique edge.

As long as it didn't affect others' interests, nobody would delve into the reasons.

Soon they crossed the Black Venom Swamp and arrived at their destination, a barren hillock.

There wasn't a single tree, flower, or even the usual undead creatures.

In the center of the hillock was a cave that seemed to lead to the center of the earth, exuding an aura of great danger.

[You have entered the Dark Spirit Realm, Death Hillock]

The system prompt sounded.

John quirked an eyebrow and chuckled, "Seems like our target this time is no ordinary creature, even the undead and wraith beings dare not tread here."

Blue Sea nodded and replied, "The treasure map doesn't specifically show the boss's info, but whatever killed the famous explorer Ethan must be no small fry."

"I spent 5 gold coins to research in the Silverglow library before we set off. Ethan was a renowned master in the Northern Myst Empire before he entered the Dark Spirit Realm. I guess he had at least the strength of a Level 150 Legendary Mage."

John, with a curious expression, said, "So, the boss we're after is at least level 150?"

"Seems about right."

Blue Sea looked at the deep, dark cavern, his face growing serious.

John shook his head helplessly, "If that's the case, why seek out this boss so soon? The level gap is huge. Encountering a boss of this level usually means a total wipeout."

John paused, then added, "Why not wait a little longer, until everyone's overall level increases, and then explore here?"

Blue Sea replied with a wry smile, "We can't afford to wait, brother. Even though the treasure map is with Seth, we don't know if other guilds will find out."

"If Ethan's key ends up in another guild's hands, I'll be full of regret."

John remained noncommittal.

He knew Blue Sea's biggest obsession was the strength of his own guild.

Now that they had a chance to significantly advance their guild's standing, even if they knew the risks, they wouldn't give up easily.

"Besides," Blue Sea suddenly grinned, "We still have you, don't we? Seeing you kill those two Black Venom Croclords back in the swamp, I suddenly feel like there's a good chance we could succeed."

John smiled wryly, "You really have a lot of faith in me. A boss over level 150 and those garbage Black Venom Croclords aren't on the same level."

"We're here now, we have to give it a shot."

Blue Sea was rather nonchalant.

Perhaps it was his mood that infected the whole team.

In an instant, everyone was filled with determination.

"The Guild leader is right, we've come this far, how can we back down?"

"I want to see what a level 150 boss looks like!"

"We have the bigshot leading, we must get it!"

Everyone turned to John, their passionate gaze almost too much for him to bear.

He waved his hand and announced boldly, "Since everyone is so confident, let's have a look inside the cave."

The heavily armed warriors in the group raised their shields and moved to the front.

Priests followed closely behind, raining a torrent of buffs on the frontline as if they were free.

Mages and archers were at the rear.

Some people rushed into the cave.

[Warning, you have entered an extremely dangerous area]

Upon entering the cave, a warning in bright red flashed up.

The temperature in the cave was extremely low, and the air reeked of a foul smell.

Everyone shivered involuntarily.

Whether it was an illusion or something else, they could faintly hear a strange sound deep inside the cave.

It sounded like the heavy breathing of some gigantic creature.

As they ventured deeper into the cave, the surroundings became darker.

After turning a corner, the last bit of light disappeared.

Everyone plunged into complete darkness.

However, those who came with Blue Sea were the elite players of their guild.

Faced with this situation, they remained composed.

A few Light and Fire mages stepped forward, raised their staffs, and cast an illumination spell.

A gentle light lit up in the darkness.

Only then did everyone notice that the stone walls of the cave were carved with all sorts of patterns.

These patterns looked incredibly bizarre, some depicted endless wars of the undead, others were weird graffiti that made no sense.

But most of all, there were figures resembling eyes.

Almost every pattern had one to several vertically oriented, blood-red eyes.

"What are these things?"

A team member curiously leaned in for a closer look, and the next second, his whole body stiffened on the spot, unable to move.

"Watch out!"

John yelled and flashed in front of that team member, blocking his sight.

"Don't look at the eyes on the wall!" John warned, then looked down.

Sure enough, that team member's legs had started to petrify, and this petrification effect was spreading towards his upper body.

"Priests come over, your holy light can counter this petrification effect."

At John's command, a priest from the middle of the team stepped forward and cast a Holy Light Blessing on the affected member.

The petrification was finally interrupted, and the team member's legs started to slowly return to normal.

Blue Sea, frowning, walked up to John.

Forcing himself to avoid the patterns on the stele, he asked curiously, "What are these things?"

John answered gravely, "The Eyes of Medusa. I finally know what we are after this time..."

Medusa, a fallen deity corrupted by manipulation in legends.

In the game of Godslayer, Medusa was not as insane as in the myths but was definitely not something an ordinary player could handle.

John frowned, looking deeper into the cave.

Vaguely, it seemed as if an enchanting snake woman, a woman's head on a snake's body, was quietly waiting for their arrival.

"Holy crap! That's terrifying!"

The team member who had just been petrified jumped up in shock.

He had thought for a moment that he was done for.

The instant he saw the eye patterns on the wall, he lost all ability to move without warning.

Although his brain was still functioning, his body couldn't respond, as if his soul had been severed from his body.

This terrifying feeling was something he never wanted to experience again in his life.

Blue Sea wasn't clear about what level of boss Medusa was.

But he had some knowledge of the Medusa from myths.

So, when John uttered the words "Eyes of Medusa", Blue Sea's face grew serious.

"Is it a powerful boss?"

John nodded, "Powerful, very formidable. At least your whole team has no chance of resisting Medusa... Even if you brought all the members of your guild, it would still be a total wipeout!"
