"What a huge drop!"
"Our luck is insane."
"I wonder what we'll get?"
"This is a Hell Difficulty demonic castle — with this kind of luck burst, we should get at least one Dark Gold-grade item."
Fred Justin's death had everyone breathing a sigh of relief, but seeing the pile of loot, they knew their luck had arrived. Just seeing more than a dozen items scattered on the ground was proof enough that this was an exceptionally rare stroke of fortune.
"Alright, calm down for now and recover." Shi Feng said with an amused smile at their excited expressions. Only he knew that this massive drop wasn't random — it was guaranteed.
The others didn't really understand the Demonic Castle, and even Shuise Qiangwei was no exception. They all assumed it was merely an above-average difficulty 20-man team dungeon.
In reality, the Demonic Castle was the most elite 20-man team dungeon among level 15 dungeons. Countless guilds had wiped again and again attempting to conquer it, falling at its doorstep. As far as Shi Feng knew, the first clear of the highest-difficulty Hell Difficulty team dungeon at any given level always produced a massive drop — it was the system's reward for conquering the hardest team dungeon.
Just as Shi Feng was tallying the loot, a batch of players had just respawned outside the dungeon entrance.
"Boss Canglang, Fred Justin's defense and attack are way too high. Compared to level 10 dungeons, the difficulty jumped a ton. This was only Normal Difficulty, and even someone like you — a powerful main tank — couldn't survive three hits. This dungeon is straight-up impossible," said a healing Druid.
"Looks like we'll need two main tanks rotating to split the damage. Let the Rangers kite those three adds that spawn." Canglang Zhantian had already grasped how terrifying Fred Justin was after a single attempt. Every attack targeted his blind spots — he couldn't dodge no matter what. He could only tank it head-on.
If it were just normal attacks, the healers could keep up. But Fred Justin's small skill, Sweep, was absolutely disgusting — it dealt over a thousand points of damage in an 8-yard radius, and the activation was nearly instantaneous. A small skill plus a normal attack instantly shaved off two thousand hit points, and in the window between attacks, even four healers could barely catch up. But before long, the boss spawned three more adds.
The healers had to split their attention, and as a result, Canglang Zhantian was taken out.
Party wipe!
And just as Canglang Zhantian's team was preparing to re-enter the Demonic Castle, Shi Feng had already started distributing equipment.
This massive drop yielded a total of eleven weapons and pieces of equipment, along with quite a few Magic Spirit Crystals and rare materials.
The worst drops were three Mythril Rank items: a Ranger's legguards, a Druid's helm, and a Summoner's pauldrons.
Since it was a guild raid and they were on their first clear, there was no team bidding or contribution system. Instead, Shi Feng distributed the loot himself, prioritizing the improvement of the team's combat power, and assigned items directly to those he designated.
The Gold-grade weapons and equipment were the most numerous — a full six pieces. The stats went without saying; items from the Demonic Castle were guaranteed to be exceptional.
A level 15 Gold-grade Beheading Greataxe and a level 15 Gold-grade Short Sword went to Jimo Ruxue and Ke Le respectively, retiring their Mythril Rank weapons to other teammates. The remaining four were equipment: a Swordsman's boots, a Warlock's gauntlets, an Oracle's chest armor, and an Elementalist's chest armor.
Shi Feng didn't hesitate — he took the Swordsman's boots for himself, replacing his level 10 Iron Rank boots.
Boots of Triumph. Boots. Plate Armor. Gold-grade. Required Level: 15. Required Class: Swordsman. Defense +184, Strength +17, Agility +20, Stamina +12, Movement Speed +5. Passive Skill: Graceful Steps — increases movement speed by 5%.
Shi Feng then gave the Gold-grade gauntlets to Hei Zi, the Oracle's chest armor to Tanchi Xiaoshu, and the Elementalist's chest armor to Shuise Qiangwei.
The final two items were Dark Gold-grade: a pitch-black longsword and a dark gray staff wreathed in black mist.
Demon Slaying Sword. One-handed sword. Dark Gold-grade. Required Level: 15. Required Strength: 130.
Attack +183.
