BXBX NOVEL Chapter 60: The Fool Appears, Where is the Class Change Statue?
He had already altered his voice. How could this woman still recognize it?!
Jeremy's mind raced as he tried to think of a way to cover it up.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a loud crash echoed from the sky, and the world seemed to tremble.
A deep and powerful voice resounded throughout the realm.
"Janna, you have overstepped your bounds!"
The goddess Janna's expression changed upon hearing the voice.
She quickly looked up at the sky, her pupils shrinking rapidly.
"The Fool?!" Janna exclaimed in shock.
Jeremy shuddered at the words and also looked outside the temple.
He saw the once clear blue sky being forcibly torn apart.
Two towering, majestic figures appeared out of nowhere, distorting the space around them. They emitted dazzling divine light, like two suns hanging high in the sky, resembling deities.
Using The Eye of Omniscience, Jeremy barely managed to make out their forms...
One of them was dressed in a black tailcoat and held a silver-handled cane, exuding an aura as vast and continuous as a flowing river.
Underneath his gentleman's hat, his otherwise ordinary face bore a cold smile, and he looked at Janna with a teasing gaze.
The other figure wore a luxurious black robe covered in complex and obscure runes. His face was shrouded in a layer of mist. Countless stars twinkled around him, creating an awe-inspiring spectacle.
Their auras were terrifying and vast, making the entire world tremble. The mere pressure they emitted felt like a mountain pressing down on Jeremy, causing his bones to creak and making it nearly impossible to breathe.
[Prompt: The Fool ???]
[Prompt: The Magician ???]
Seeing the prompts from The Eye of Omniscience and the two terrifying figures in the sky, Jeremy felt a storm of emotions surge within him.
So these are the Fool and the Magician, the architects of the apocalypse game?!
At this moment, he finally understood the kind of adversaries humanity was up against!
As Jeremy's gaze fell upon the two figures, the terrifying black-robed figure seemed to notice something and slightly lowered his head, casting a glance at him.
"Boom!"
In that instant, Jeremy felt as if he were staring into two incredibly scorching stars. An overwhelmingly terrifying force surged at him like a tsunami, engulfing him in the blink of an eye.
In his final moments, Jeremy heard the figure's indifferent words.
"Blasphemer, you deserve to die."
The terrifying energy crashed over him like a tidal wave, instantly pulverizing Jeremy into nothing, leaving not even a trace behind.
Jeremy was killed on the spot!
"Ding!"
At that moment, a golden coin suddenly appeared where Jeremy had been, then exploded with a bang.
"A resurrection coin?" The Fool in the sky let out a surprised sound, seeming somewhat taken aback.
The Magician beside him frowned and asked, "Do you need me to take care of him?"
The Fool shook his head slightly and said calmly, "Just an ant, let him be. We have more important matters to attend to."
With that, his gaze shifted to Janna inside the Class Change Temple.
Inside the temple.
Janna's expression turned stiff.
...
Meanwhile, in the Moonlight City.
The sun was high in the sky, the day already bright.
In a room at the military district's base, a burst of light flickered.
Jeremy's figure appeared in the room.
He stumbled and collapsed directly onto the bed.
"That was close..." Jeremy panted heavily, still shaken.
He never expected to encounter the Fool and the Magician in the Class Change Temple!
If not for the resurrection coin, Jeremy would be dead by now.
Damn those guys!
Jeremy's chest heaved, his fists clenched tightly, and his eyes burned with intense anger.
One day, he vowed, they would pay for this!
After a long while, Jeremy finally calmed down.
He checked the time and realized that more than half a day had passed since he entered the Class Change Temple.
There were only a few hours left until the end of the "Chasing the Sun" event.
Jeremy had reached level 32 while in the Class Change Temple.
Kean had leveled up to 30, and the top ten players were also around level 30.
Barring any surprises, he should secure the top spot in this event.
However, he couldn't afford to be complacent. This was the final stretch, and anything could happen.
Jeremy then opened his status panel and took a look.
[Name]: Jeremy
[Level]: lv32
[Class]: Blasphemer
[Titles]: Pioneer, World's First Kill
[Abilities]: The Eye of Omniscience (SSS)
[Attributes]: Strength 3081, Spirit 5345, Stamina 2119, Agility 2143
[Skills]: Lawless lv8, Seven Sins - Wrath lv1, Seven Sins - Gluttony lv1, Seven Sins - Envy lv1, Abyss Summon lv1, Calamity Wind lv1, Plague Curse lv1, Judgment Sword lv10, Soul Roar lv10, Calamity Blade lv10, Sin Flame lv10, Extreme Step lv10, Gale Slash lv10, Ice Arrow Rain lv10...
...
After completing his second class change, each of Jeremy's attributes increased by roughly 300 points.
More importantly, he had acquired three new skills.
[Skill]: Seven Sins - Envy
[Level]: lv1
[Tier]: Ultra
[Type]: Utility
[Description]: Upon activation, the player can copy the target's skill. The copied skill will be at level 1, lasting for 3 minutes, with a cooldown of 3 hours.
...
[Skill]: Abyss Summon
[Level]: lv1
[Tier]: High
[Type]: Summon
[Description]: Upon activation, the player can randomly summon one creature of the same tier from the Exiled Abyss. The player can also form a contract with the creature for specified summons. The summon lasts for 10 minutes, with a cooldown of 3 hours.
...
[Skill]: Calamity Wind
[Level]: lv1
[Tier]: High
[Type]: Offensive
[Description]: Upon activation, the player can summon a Calamity Wind to deal 180% magic damage to the target, with a 20% chance to inflict a random negative status effect. Cooldown: 30 minutes.
...
"Copy skills?" Jeremy's eyes lit up.
Although "Seven Sins - Envy" can only copy level 1 skills and lasts for just 5 minutes, it's still incredibly powerful.
For instance, he could copy Ritchie's "Shadow Stealth" at a critical moment and enter the shadow world to evade danger. Or he could copy Rafael's "Light of Resurrection" to revive a teammate.
"Abyss Summon" is a summoning skill that allows for both random and specified summons. With the skeleton staff in his hand also capable of summoning a creature, he wouldn't have to grind monsters tirelessly anymore.
"Calamity Wind" seems like an area-of-effect skill that can inflict group negative effects, making it highly effective against large numbers of monsters.
Jeremy then closed his status panel and started to head out.
Now that he was in the final stage of the event, he couldn't afford to be careless. Otherwise, he might end up losing the top spot to someone else in the end.
Besides, the boost from the second class change was enormous. He was eager to test his current strength against some monsters.
...
In the outskirts of the Imperial Capital, inside an instance.
A row of near-dead monsters lined up neatly in front of Kean.
Kean, dressed in silver armor and wielding a golden long sword, methodically killed each monster, like an emotionless killing machine.
He had already reached level 30, but Kean wasn't in a hurry to undergo his second class change. He wanted to ensure that after completing it, he could surpass Jeremy and claim the top spot on the leaderboard.
"A powerless student. What do you have to compete with me?" Kean sneered, as if he could already see the look of shock on Jeremy's face.
At that moment, his butler, Farmer, hurried over.
Bowing, he reported, "Mr. Kean, Jeremy has completed his second class change and has reached level 32."
"Level 32?" Kean's raised long sword paused for a moment.
Then he let out a cold laugh and swung the sword down forcefully.
"Slash!"
An elite monster's head was severed.
Kean wiped his long sword and said coldly, "Let him enjoy his moment for now!"
According to the family's calculations, at his current pace, he would accumulate enough experience to reach level 35 before the event ended.
By then, he would show Jeremy just how vast the gap between them truly was.
Butler Farmer hesitated for a moment before smiling wryly, "Mr. Kean, the family head and the upper echelons have issued an order. They want you to complete your second class change and secure the top spot on the leaderboard first to avoid any unforeseen incidents."
Kean frowned, somewhat displeased, but he nodded and said, "I understand."
After all, he was not yet the head of the Lannisters. He could not openly defy the family's orders.
After clearing out all the monsters, Kean left the instance and headed to a specially prepared training room.
The training room was very quiet, and there were guards posted outside to ensure that Kean would not be disturbed by anyone.
After getting himself into the right state of mind, Kean focused his thoughts and vanished from the training room.
A salty sea breeze gently blew by.
Kean opened his eyes and looked around. As expected, what greeted his sight was a vast expanse of blue ocean.
He was standing on the class change plaza, with a grand and solemn temple before him.
Wasting no time, Kean walked straight into the temple.
Three minutes later.
Kean looked around the empty temple hall, bewildered, and said, "Where's the class change statue?"
