” Thank you, young asmodian for hearing request. You can just call me Dullahan for I have long forgotten my name. I shall now tell you the reason I for me to be driven to this sorry state.” the dullahan said.
The dullahan continued ” It was after the war with what my lord called them The Corruptants.” When Adrian heard the name corruptants his ears perked up and listened with improved concentration.
” If you have guessed by now I was a once a knight for my Asmodian lord and he was a summoner as well. Anyway back to the story, my lord was injured in the fight and use his last bit of his life force to seal a remnant of the corruptants. This remnant was used by the asmodians as one of the important seals that repels the corruptants from opening a breach from their world to this world.” the dullahan said.
Adrian stopped the dullahan from his story because he heard a prompt that came from the system which the dullahan was not pleased but stopped his story.
[Quest Ancient Heroes I has been completed.Quest reward is sent to the inventory.]
[Ancient Heroes II quest acquired]
Adrian did not look at the new quest since he was still listening to the dullahan and he did not want to be inconsiderate. He will also look at the reward later. Adrian then urged the dullahan to continue.
“As I was saying, we were escaping the pursuit of the corruptant’s acolytes. The acolytes are inhabitants of this world that was tempted by the power that the corruptant’s held. The acolytes were the reason that the battle was hardly won. The acolytes kept summoning breaches or portals that the corruptants used. They kept on pouring until Asmodians sacrificed their lives to prevent breaches from occurring. Some of the acolytes managed to reach us and with our lord weakening by the minute, he was not able to help us in battle. So we suggested that it is better to be sealed in a special cavern with the remnant itself to prevent the acolytes from getting their hands on it. Though our lord did not want our conclusion, we already steeled our resolve thus he did it unwillingly. Our Lord used his remaining life force and sealed us in this cavern but an acolyte managed to change the seal that our lord cast. That blasted acolyte transformed us into undead but he also payed the price by turning into one as well. That acolyte became a gravekeeper. He is in an altar located below ground from our location. He has been spending countless years unlocking the seal that was placed by our lord. Since the acolytes were considerably powerful and our lord seeing his seal being tampered, our lord added a condition that only low powered people can enter in this barrier. I beseech you young asmodian, please help me kill that gravekeeper. If you do, I will let you have my master’s inheritance since you are a promising summoner yourself.”
●Quest Notification●
The dullahan wants you to kill the gravekeeper that is trying to unleash the seal of the remnant. Kill the gravekeeper and let the souls of the fallen forgotten warriors achieve peace.
Quest Difficulty: A
Clear Condition: Kill the gravekeeper
Reward: ??? Inheritance
Adrian was shocked an inheritance usually means a deviation from the standard job class advancement. Job class advancement deviations are better because they offer something special rather than the common job advancements. It is better because other players will not know of your skills since it is like a hidden job class if termed based on past rpg’s. Adrian accepted the quest and the dullahan thanked him.
” Thank you, young asmodian but you are not strong enough to confront the gravekeeper thus I will help you by giving you my spirit essence.” the dullahan said but Adrian got a bit hurt by the dullahan’s honest opinion.
[Player Equinox has been equipped with temporary passive ‘Warrior Spirit’]
Skill: Warrior Spirit
Effect: Doubles the strength stat of wielder. Enemies damage by 10% of their total health are dealt 3% more damage of their total health.
The passive was overpowered but that also meant another thing, the enemy will definitely not be easy. The next boss must be very difficult if this was the passive skill he was given temporarily. Adrian decided to distribute his remaining stat points since every little bit of damage dealt would be useful from his guess.

He poured the remaining stat points in strength since it was doubled for this circumstance. As soon as he was ready, the dullahan made some symbols in mid air and the floor two meters away from then crumbled and revealed stairs leading underground.
