Chapter 347 Shane's Team
Species: Metal Slime
Description: A shimmering blob of metallic goo, the Metal Slime glimmers with a lustrous sheen, reflecting light like a precious gem. This peculiar pet moves fluidly, leaving a trail of metallic residue that glistens in its wake. Its metallic composition grants it unique properties, absorbing and reflecting energy in intriguing ways.
Abilities: Reflective Aura, Quick Transformation, Metallic Resilience
Growth Requirement: Expose it to metallic environments and engage it in battles against foes with energy-based attacks to aid its development. It can be fed with Zombie Cores. ]
Clink… Clink… Clink…
Within his hotel room, Shane was looking at his metal ball rolling around him… Then, it would suddenly turn into a gooey substance with an appearance similar to mercury before calming down again.
"Here…" Shane muttered as he threw a couple of Zombie Cores for Silver to eat.
Crunch… Crunch…
Just like that, the two Zombie Cores disappeared into its stomach…
Thankfully, the Metal Slime had properly grown through Axis\' help. It could now transform into a weapon or into a small shield or even armor. Because of its size, however, it couldn\'t cover that much when transformed into armor, but it would still be a huge help since the slime could move around his unprotected body.
\'I hope that you\'ll do great in the Boss Raid.\' Shane muttered as he knew that he had already completed his preparation.
At this time, he had also given all the members of the Eclipse Revenant various potions containing Zombie Skills like Five-Meter Jump. Aside from that, he also had given them items that he had infused with his skills, like the Healing Tokens and the Brawler\'s Ring that had Brawler\'s Fury skill and others.
As Shane was checking his Survivor Store to purchase a spicy instant ramen, he suddenly heard a familiar notification from the system.
To be exact, everyone in the continent had received this message.
[ System Announcement: Boss Raid Event
Attention, Survivors!
A Boss Raid event will commence in three hours. Prepare yourselves for an epic challenge!
Here are the Event Details:
Survivors will be assigned to System-Arranged Teammates based on achievements, level, and abilities to ensure balanced team compositions.
Each team will consist of three members. The leader will be automatically assigned to the member with the best status.
At the start of the Boss Raid, Survivors will be transported to a special space with their team members. You will have 10 minutes of preparation before the Boss Raid starts.
The Boss Raid will have a total of five stages. Significant rewards await those who clear all stages.
After clearing a stage, Survivors have the option to quit the event. However, quitting is not allowed once a stage is in progress.
Do not be hasty; there are hidden missions that can be cleared for additional rewards, so keep this in mind.
Lastly, the team with the highest score will receive a special reward. Teams ranked second to twentieth will also receive rewards based on their placement.
Good luck and survive! ]
Shane\'s eyes widened as he read the system announcement about the upcoming Boss Raid event.
\'It\'s finally here…\'
He felt nervous and excited at the same time.
He was nervous because he wasn\'t sure what kind of Zombie Boss he would have to deal with… Furthermore, he also felt a little concerned if his members would be helpful or would just bring him down, but he was also excited since he knew that he would get a nice reward if he cleared this event.
He knew this was a significant opportunity to prove his skills and earn valuable rewards.
Shane then checked the Regional Chat, and as expected, everyone felt excited. They were all hoping that their teammates would really be decent.
Well, it was natural to hope for strong teammates since this event would surely give them better rewards the more stages they clear. As for those who just wanted to survive, they were all just hoping to clear the First Stage and quit the event.
After all, if they have the option to live longer, they would always choose it.
"That\'s enough…" Shane wryly smiled as he stopped scrolling the Regional Chat and closed his conversations with Raze and the others.
With only a few minutes left before the event began, Shane decided to make his final preparations.
He donned his newest Tier 5 set, the Mutated Python Set. The armor was a masterpiece… Each piece designed for maximum protection and mobility.
First, he slipped into the Mutated Python Scale Armor. The scales glistened with a dark, lustrous shine and he really liked this design.
The armor fits snugly, and its lightweight yet durable material allows for ease of movement.
Next, he pulled on the Mutated Python Pants, which were reinforced with additional scales around the knees and thighs for extra protection.
He then placed the Mutated Python Helm on his head. The helm was sleek, and the visor provided excellent visibility while shielding his face. Finally, he laced up the Mutated Python Boots, which were designed to provide superior traction and agility.
Fully geared up, Shane looked completely different. Of course, he also used his Hunter Stealth Cloak, which was a Legendary Grade item. Well, his Shroud of Shadows Cape was lent to Lysandra as she was still considered the weakest in the team. With the cape in his possession, he should be able to Survive.
Anyway, Shane felt a surge of confidence, knowing he was ready for the event.
As the countdown reached zero, the space around him twisted and warped.
In an instant, Shane found himself in a new, unfamiliar environment. The system\'s blue screen also appeared.
