Born Sacred-Chapter 36: First Pass Of The First Level Normal Instance

Chapter 36: First Pass Of The First Level Normal Instance

A giant pit several meters wide appeared where Noah had been, sending countless shattered rocks flying in all directions.

"It’s not as slow as imagined, its attack speed is very fast. If you get greedy with your strikes, you’re very likely to be hit," Noah’s calm voice came from over ten meters away. The Boss’s terrifying blow hadn’t even harmed a single hair on him.

The Virus Source Entity’s other arm quickly hammered down.

Noah stood there, showing no intention of dodging at all. His greatsword sprang up and slashed towards the Boss’s palm.

Amidst painful roars, Noah’s sword strike cut off a small half of the Boss’s palm, while its terrifying attack was easily received by him.

"Who exactly is the Boss?" Rose and the others watched, dumbfounded.

Soon, Noah obtained the Boss’s approximate stats.

Strength 720, Agility 650, Physique 850, Spirit 250.

Quite astonishing values.

"Its agility is very high, but it’s mainly reflected in its attack speed and reaction speed. Don’t assume it’s necessarily slow to react just because it looks like a mountain of flesh. As for its movement speed, it can be ignored."

"Strong power, high attack, plus super strong vitality and recovery power. Its strengths and weaknesses are very obvious."

Noah analyzed.

"This Boss is just a target! It doesn’t have ranged attacks. As long as we attack it from a distance, we can grind it down eventually," Zara said with a smile.

Hearing this, Noah smiled slightly.

"I don’t think it’s that simple," Claire had a different opinion. "I suspect it should have the ability to summon other Infected."

Zara’s expression changed. With a spatial shift, she disappeared from her spot and appeared on a tall building in the distance.

After a while, she teleported back, her face filled with horror. "Oh my god, I saw countless Infected rushing towards here. Maybe all the Infected in the entire Vespera City will come here."

Thinking of the number of Infected in Vespera City, everyone felt their mouths dry.

"If a First Order dungeon on Ordinary difficulty was that easy to deal with, it wouldn’t be the case that no one has gotten the first clear yet," Rose said.

So far, no one had cleared the Ordinary difficulty.

As for Simple difficulty, there was indeed a team that cleared it, which was the Sun Goddess Squad from Sunrise Nation. This made the Sunrise Nation people on the Transcendent Forum proud for quite a while, their tails practically reaching the sky.

However, this was the only instance.

Subsequently, no other team achieved the first clear on Simple difficulty, including the Amaterasu Squad.

Clearly, the rewards for Simple difficulty were too poor.

The teams currently capable of tackling First Order dungeons were all the first echelon of Blue Star Awakeners. Receiving such poor rewards was equivalent to weakening their potential, which naturally made it unacceptable to them.

"It’s time to send it on its way." Noah swung the greatsword in his hand. "The first clear of the First Order dungeon on Ordinary difficulty should appear now."

A few minutes later.

As the Virus Source Entity collapsed powerlessly, completely losing its life force, the system notification sound also rang in everyone’s ears.

[Congratulations on clearing the Trial Instance: Beginning of Disaster (Ordinary). Your rating is SSS-grade, and you have received the following rewards: Growth Value 20, strength crystal * 100, agility crystal * 100, constitution crystal * 100, spirit crystal * 100, Ordinary-grade Material - Flesh Essence]

[Due to this being the first clear, your contribution was significant, and you have received additional rewards: strength crystal * 70, agility crystal * 70, constitution crystal * 70, spirit crystal * 70, Ordinary-grade Item - Active Protein]

"Only 20 Growth Value." After hearing the system prompt, Noah curled his lip.

In the Zero Order, clearing an instance once gave 50, and two times was enough to max it out.

Clearly, the higher the Order, the greater the difficulty of growth, requiring more instances to be cleared.

Noah had already figured out the instance reward mechanism very clearly.

Normal clear rewards only depend on the rating level. The higher the rating, the more generous the rewards. However, Growth Value is relatively less affected. Basically, as long as the rating is A-grade or above, the Growth Value won’t be low.

So, in the Zero Order, Noah’s first two clears, one with an A-grade rating and one with an SSS-grade rating, both gave 50 Growth Value.

Only when the rating is too low will the Growth Value decrease significantly. When Claire and the others cleared it, they only received 10 Growth Value because they had no contribution.

The amount of this reward is calculated individually for each person. If you receive a lot, it won’t affect others. As long as the rating is high enough, you won’t receive little.

The first clear’s additional reward uses a different calculation, based on the team members’ contribution. The greater the contribution, the more is received.

The additional first clear reward Noah received now was definitely not as much as when he carried four others.

However, Noah didn’t really care.

The instance mechanism encourages strong alliances rather than the strong carrying the weak. Therefore, the combined additional first clear rewards for a strong team are definitely far greater than for a team where one carries four.

Thus, Noah slightly lost out, but the team made a huge profit.

"My rating is A-grade." Claire was full of excitement.

This was the first time she had received such a high rating.

With a high rating, the rewards were also generous. Although incomparable to Noah, it was far better than just getting by in the Zero Order instances, making her so happy she almost jumped.

Zara: "I’m S-grade."

Rose: "SS-grade."

Smith: "SS-grade."

The three were also very satisfied.

This was the first clear, and without any guides. Getting an S-grade rating was already good enough. As for an SSS-grade rating, they hadn’t even thought about it.

"Let’s disband for now." Noah glanced at the four excited people and said, "Replenish your ammunition."

Claire’s ammunition had already run out, and Rose and Zara didn’t have much left either.

"Understood."

"In half an hour, we’ll enter the instance again." Noah said slowly, "This time, we’ll challenge the Difficult difficulty."

Difficult...

The four exchanged glances, seeing not worry in each other’s eyes, but anticipation and excitement.

After this instance clear, they were full of confidence in Noah.
