Chapter-63: shadow lord and shadow guards
Others naturally teamed up to kill the goblins completely. Ratika leisurely went to collect her spear and also the bow and arrows of the goblin archer. When she got them others also looked at them.
They looked quite ordinary. Well they will look ordinary unless you have something like identification skill or appraisal skill to know the secrets of this bow and arrow. The arrows have piercing bonus and the bow can actually improve accuracy and critical hit.
If not the arrow of the goblin archer would not have almost killed another goblin that was accidentally hit just now. Ratika only made the final cut of this goblin that was accidentally hit by the goblin archer.
After this action Ratika did not kill others. It would only show more of her fighting capabilities which are not very useful. She is already in limelight killing two goblins. Also Ratika collected the sacks that are dropped by the goblins.
Others checked her bow and arrows from the goblin archer and could not see anything. So they thought that they are just simple bow and arrows and left them to Ratika. After all she is the one that killed the goblin archer.
Ratika went over to the treasure chest that is on the side of the corpse of the goblin archer that was killed before on the high platform. Ratika started to pick the lock of the iron treasure chest. Others also know about this problem.
That is it is hard to break the iron treasure chest lock and even if it is broken they might be attacked by the trap inside. They learnt this through experience. So no one tried to stop Ratika instead being a lock pick gave her more potential and security.
After all if there is an iron treasure chest there will be higher level things in the future like the silver treasure chest and golden treasure chest that are higher level in comparison. Along with being higher level the will have powerful traps and locks.
The wooden treasure chest is easy to break but iron treasure chest is hard, they don't know how hard the silver treasure chest and the golden treasure chest are. Normally pure gold is quite soft that can be deformed with hands.
But that will not be the case with the treasure chests made of gold and silver. Instead they will be harder in the form of treasure chests. They are so hard that even a big hammer with special properties cannot even dent or scratch these treasure chests.
They can break the lock but higher level treasure chests would trigger the traps immediately after the lock is broken and the trap is much higher level like a lightning strike or a hurricane, a lava shot or something like that.
It will be dangerous. Because of this the profession of lock picking would have higher demand in the future. Ratika moved to pick the lock and she tasted the sweetness before that is to open the lock slowly to gain more points.
As she did that others waited. But most of the people from the big group that are freeloaders riding the bus were driven away by Martina and her group. In the end only Martina's group, Robert and Aisha were left along with Ratika.
There are three shifty eyed guys that are looking at the situation sneakily at the entrance to this room. Ratika noticed them and others also noticed it. Ratika did not care as she is stronger. These three men looked weak now but they are quite strong in the future.
They are actually looking at the big knockers of Ratika and Martina. They don't know that Martina is a man and Ratika is literally showing off her big knockers flashing her cherries and wearing short skirt at this moment.
Those three guys are literally drooling. The lust is flowing down their eyes at this moment as if they wanted to have fun with her directly. They want to pounce on her and fack her hard without leaving any hole unattended.
Actually they are weak by nature but they got special benefit skill that can be used as combination of a group. It is an inheritance related to shadow guards. They got this that can be shared with 13 people.
But only three of them mastered it. This inheritance is called shadow guards and this has a group of 13 people where 12 are shadow guards and 1 is shadow lord. The shadow lord is completely different and it was not chosen by the 12 shadow guards.
After learning the special inheritance one of the 13 with most qualification would become the shadow guard automatically. The shadow guards would fight on their own to protect the shadow lord.
The shadow lord can understand the hidden meaning of this inheritance and this can be taken to the dungeon cultivation world at the end of the dungeon after the 100 days after paying the dungeon coins.
Only shadow lord has the right and the shadow guards did not have the right. They can get the skill they learnt being a shadow guard if they are capable. The shadow guards each have a specific skill like assassination, stealth and few other skills of being a shadow like an assassin.
The shadow lord gets all these skills combined as shadow lord art. It is a combined bundle package like a cultivation technique of specific side and secret. All these things are known to Ratika because he saw Robert becoming the shadow lord after defeating these three people.
Then he shared this inheritance to others of his group except for Ratika and killed those three men that caused lot of trouble in the future and took everything from them all. At that time Robert becoming shadow lord is the most powerful buff he has.
