Is this really a Game?!
Chapter 294 The Final Preparations For The ChallengeReign and the others equipped the items they had received before heading toward their rooms, night had already fallen and they were extremely tired after fighting against the hundreds of apes in the jungle. Their injuries were still not fully healed but in a day or two at most, they would be back to their peak state.
What the party was going to do before the challenge commences however was to first inform everyone in the territory about their imminent absence before hunting in the IronBark woods and the Grasslands in hopes of finding some powerful bosses who would potentially drop some good items for them.
They had used the auction house that they previously built in order to check if there were any good items posted there, but unfortunately, even though there was some equipment posted, the highest rank of the equipment there was C. The larger auctions that would be held once a month would probably have some items that would be useful to them, but unfortunately, they were unable to go there as the larger auction would take place in a week.
The only chance the party had to become at least a little bit stronger in the following 2 days was to find stronger equipment, training would be helpful as well but even with the brightest estimates, they would only improve by a slight amount in two days.
As morning came all of them had breakfast before using the speakers that were put around the territory to call all of the residents to the center of the territory. The center had a platform and a wide area that could accommodate a lot of people, after making sure that almost everybody had arrived Reign told them the news.
Hearing that Reign and the others were going to be teleported to different planets was something that nobody amongst them had expected. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the news was a bombshell as everybody panicked a bit.
They knew that everything they had was thanks to Reign and the others, they were confident about taking care of the territory and keeping themselves safe, even without Greenie they would still manage to do that. But they were actually worried about Reign and the others, they had given them so much and basically saved them from the depths of hell.
Not only were they able to survive and live a bit more comfortably at the beginning but they were now able to live outside and fight against the monsters that had once terrified them. They knew that almost all of that was thanks to Reign and his party and they were going all out in order to become stronger so that they could be helpful to them in the future.
Going to a new planet meant that the party members were all going to be in an incredibly dangerous situation, Reign had told them that it was a sort of mission that the system had issued them and they knew that something like that was definitely not to be underestimated. If the whole party was going somewhere together then the residents would be less worried, but since each of them was going to be alone they were, of course, upset, especially Laura who was a healer.
Laura had always helped the players with their injuries and many of them were healed by her multiple times, there was not a single person that disliked the girl and they knew that she was the weakest in the party when it came to fighting. Nobody underestimated her however as they knew she could still mop the floor with any one of them, but she was still primarily a healer, one that gained a powerful ability that gave her a solid fighting prowess, but she was still primarily a healer, healers had the role of supporting the team from the back and were usually weak in combat.
Nobody knew exactly what any of them were going to have to face on the other planets, of course, that didn't stop them from speculating about it, some thought that perhaps some of them would get teleported to a planet full of monsters where they simply needed to do their best and survive. Some thought perhaps they would be sent to help others or perhaps even save entire planets which was a gross overestimation of the power Reign and the others had.
As more time passed the less the topic was brought up, Reign and the others didn't have time to train with the trainees the last two days as they were fully focused on finding and killing bosses and powerful monsters. The trainees of course understood that and they didn't even need that much training anymore, they were amongst the most powerful teams in the territory already and they could use the many facilities that were built in the territory in order to improve themselves.
Even though most of the town was now filled with lower-leveled monsters, there were still a bunch of areas that had more powerful ones, especially one red building from which people were able to hear the screams of monsters. The red building was the base of the Draifs and for now, nobody was willing to go there and fight them as Reign and the others had warned them that the leader of the draifs was probably somewhere around level 40.
Luckily for the players, it seemed that the draifs were keeping quiet for now, they didn't go out often and the players would only see them sometimes. Even though there was a large disparity when it came to level amongst the draifs, with the lowest leveled ones being below level 20 and the strongest above level 30 they were still considered to be an incredibly powerful opponent for the players. Even the lowered leveled ones were hard to kill since they could simply fly away when in danger and often they would harass parties that didn't have powerful long-range attackers since there was nothing they could do to kill or heavily injure it.
Reign and the others didn't know how long they would be gone, it could be days, weeks or even months, however, they were still certain that the players would be fine as not a lot of monsters could put the strongest teams in danger right now.
Even if the draifs suddenly became more aggressive there was still Greenie who could go and teach them a lesson, even the leader of the draifs wouldn't be able to defeat Greenie if the latter truly went all out.
During the final two days the party members managed to fight 3 normal bosses and one field boss, they were able to gain 3 more Rank A items but unfortunately, 2 were useless for them. One weapon they had received was another giant hammer that turned out to be slightly weaker compared to Greenie's while they had also received another plated armor. The defense the armor provided was great but it was big and clunky, not only was it hard to perform any kind of acrobatics while wearing it, but even moving was a bit difficult.
For players that were the tanks of their respective teams this kind of armor would be fine as they didn't need to be flexible or fast, but for Reign and the others it was simply not viable to use something like this as even Tank used another armor that gave him more flexibility and movement compared to that one.
The only item that was usable to the party was a helmet, this was actually the first helmet they had received ever since the start of the game. Previously they would get headbands and similar stuff but they decided against using them since they were annoying and offered barely any protection or stat bonuses after they had gone above level 20. The helmet was given to Tank in the end, one piece of equipment wouldn't be what saves them during the challenge so there was no need to salivate over it.
The helmet by itself was also pretty much made for tank classes as it provided a good buff to blocking attacks. Soon 2 days had passed and the party was all standing in the center of the territory while saying goodbye to everybody. Eldar and the others were all standing a bit further back as they watched them.
Even after 2 days of thinking about it, none of them were able to find any information that could be helpful to Reign and the others, the challenges that the system gave to the players were always different and even though they remembered some other instances where players were sent to different planets, they had no idea what the players had to face.
There were millions of planets in the universe and the sheer variety of them was something that couldn't be imagined. What Reign and the others were going to go through wasn't something they could possibly know. They wished them good luck as they knew that they would need it. They were all a bit nervous as they truly didn't wish to see the party go, they had performed so well in the game so far and they wanted to see how far they would reach, if they were to perish on some unknown planet then that would simply be too big of a waste.
"Keep the territory safe man, we're counting on you," Reign tells Greenie as the latter nods at him, before he could say anything a flash of light took over Reign and the others and they were gone.
