Resurrection Scrolls are items that can only be used out of combat, functioning as a flawed in-place resurrection with penalties.
People buy them to save time from running back and forth. As core members of a major guild, they usually carry a large stock with them.
But now, Shadow Claw's core members actually needed to replenish on the spot. The only explanation was: the BOSS they were raiding was insanely difficult, and they had paid countless wipe costs!
With Shadow Claw's strength, the only thing that could leave them so overwhelmed was definitely a Mythic-tier BOSS!!
"Seraphina, are you sure? You could hear them from this far away?" Lenore looked shocked.
The warehouse area where the Shadow Claw members had retrieved their supplies was a full ten yards away from the auction house entrance where they stood. Even normal conversations were hard to hear beyond five yards.
Seraphina nodded slightly, her cold voice carrying a unique certainty: "My auditory talent has received divine blessing in the game, allowing me to capture even the faintest sounds within a hundred meters."
Eternal Realm Online had a unique mechanic: players' real-life talents had a chance to transform into in-game "special abilities." Seraphina's extraordinary hearing was clearly one such stroke of luck.
A look of realization crossed Kalis's eyes. He ventured to ask: "In real life... do you have any visual impairments?"
Seraphina had long held the title of "Blind Archer." Coupled with this godlike hearing, it was hard not to make that connection.
"Mm." Seraphina didn't elaborate, just replied softly, her fingers unconsciously brushing the quiver at her waist.
Upon hearing this, pure sympathy immediately appeared in Mireya's eyes, but she didn't dare to ask more out of politeness.
Kalis and Lenore exchanged a look, tacitly deciding not to press further. Excessive pity might only hurt her pride; treating her as an equal was better.
"Let's find out what Shadow Claw is targeting first. If it really is a Mythic-tier BOSS, we might as well go 'stir up some trouble,'" Kalis changed the subject, a mischievous smile flashing in his eyes. "After all, giving old rivals a 'surprise' is much more fun than just grinding levels."
Lenore raised an eyebrow and smiled: "Leave it to me. My informants are all over Drakenspire!" With that, she opened her friend list, her fingers tapping quickly in the chat box as she contacted information brokers scattered across the main city.
"Kalis, Lenore, Seraphina, Mireya, I'm back!"
A flurry of footsteps approached. Eira, wearing brand-new platinum armor, ran across the main city square.
The dragon patterns on her armor shimmered with golden light in the sun, and her face was filled with uncontrollable pride. "Quick, look at my Dragon Warrior panel! How far am I from catching up to you?"
Before she finished speaking, she shared her status panel in the party channel.
Curious, everyone clicked on it and instantly gasped in shock at the numbers on the screen:
[Name]: Eira

"Oh my god! This is way too strong! This status panel is simply terrifying!" Lenore covered her mouth in shock. At Level 28, having 23,100 HP and magic defense close to 700, plus two powerful exclusive skills and an even stronger talent skill, she could probably take on an Epic BOSS of the same level solo without breaking a sweat.
Mireya held her Epic breastplate and suddenly felt that her gear was lackluster. "Three Mythic exclusive pieces of equipment, and 10x mana converted into HP... This class is absurd!"
Eira's eyes crinkled with laughter: "The High Patriarch of Drakenspire reset all my potential points when I advanced. I put all my previous Constitution points into Spirit, maxing out my magic defense and making my HP skyrocket. Oh, and I brought you a gift!"
She mysteriously pulled out a red-glowing skill book and handed it to Kalis: "A Legendary Mage skill book, Meteor Descend. I especially got it for you."
Kalis's pupils contracted as he took the skill book.
[Meteor Descend]
Rarity: Legendary Forbidden Spell
Attribute Requirement: 520 Intelligence
Class Requirement: Mage-type classes
Effect: Channels fire elemental and stellar energy to summon a giant meteor from the sky, dealing 2100% of spell attack power as core damage to a designated area. Deals 60% splash damage to targets within 35 yards. Creates a Lava Field that lasts for 5 seconds after impact, dealing 10% of spell attack power as burn damage per second.
Cast Time: 10 seconds
Mana Cost: 550
Cooldown: 70 minutes
"Insanely strong!" Kalis couldn't hide his excitement. This was practically a forbidden spell tailor-made for him!
After a 10-second cast, it dealt 21x attack power damage and hit multiple targets within a 35-yard radius.
It was nothing short of cataclysmic!
With the boost from his dual talents, Celestial Dominance and Ultimate Amplification, the skill's damage would soar to 210,000 times spell attack power, and its range (including splash) would expand to 175 yards. This wasn't a meteor—it was an asteroid impact!
Although it required 520 Intelligence to learn, it wasn't a problem for Kalis. He just needed to collect a few high-Intelligence Epic gear pieces and pair them with a Potion of Supreme Wisdom for a temporary boost to easily meet the requirement.
"This gift is too precious!" Kalis immediately opened the trade window and offered the Mythic gear Gilded Lion King Battle Boots. "These boots are perfect for a Dragon Warrior; take them, otherwise my conscience wouldn't sit right with me."
"Haha, alright. I originally wanted you to treat me to a meal, but I'll let it slide for these boots~" Eira accepted the trade without hesitation.
Trading a Legendary Forbidden Spell for Mythic boots seemed like a fair exchange, but Kalis actually got the better end of the deal. Gear would eventually become obsolete, but a forbidden spell would last a lifetime—its value was unmatched.
After completing the trade, Eira casually brushed back a strand of silver hair, put one hand on her hip, and radiated even more confidence: "Now it's time to get down to business! Should we grind levels to break through Level 30, or find a powerful BOSS to test our skills?"
The post-advancement confidence made her eager to prove her strength.
Kalis shook his head with a smile: "Let's wait for Lenore's intelligence first. We might have a 'big gift' for the Shadow Claw guild."
"Oh? What did I miss?" Eira's interest was instantly piqued as she pressed for details.
Just then, Lenore closed her chat box, and a cunning smile appeared on her face: "Kalis, we hit the jackpot!"
