Mission: [Explore the Valley of the Dead]
Requirements: Clear the 'Nightmare-difficulty' Instance Dungeon of the Valley of the Dead.
Reward: Unknown.
Description: Priestess of Light, Leisha, has commissioned you to explore the deepest part of the Valley of the Dead. After completing the mission, you will receive a generous reward.
————
Yes, that was right. The mission requirement was to clear a Nightmare Dungeon!
That was the most difficult dungeon!
There was another bad news too.
When he was checking the information of the dungeon earlier, Lorne realized that every player only had one chance in a nightmare-difficulty dungeon.
In other words, he could not fail, or else he would lose the unique hidden mission.
He was not worried about that. Ever since he had the Monster Merging Simulator, Lorne had felt that there was no mission in this world that he could not complete.
If there was, then no other player would be able to complete it!
This was his confidence.
However…
Now that he had accepted the mission, it did not seem right to leave just like that.
It was an opportunity for Lorne.
After some thought, he looked up and said, "As a brave adventurer, it is my duty to fight the darkness, but I am too weak to do so. I seek the help of the priestess."
Huh?
He wanted a reward before completing the mission?
Was it appropriate?
The priestess looked at him oddly, but Lorne did not seem to notice.
"With my current strength, I can explore the Valley of the Dead and am confident enough, but your request is to explore the deepest part of the valley. I'm afraid that my strength is not enough to do that." With a disconsolate expression, Lorne voiced his concerns.
Priestess Leisha thought about it. Considering that the Valley of the Dead was indeed too dangerous for the current adventurers, it was best to provide help so that he could investigate the situation in the valley as soon as possible.

"What do you want?" Priestess Leisha decided to help him.
After hearing this, Lorne was overjoyed: "As a Summoner, I want to have more pet spaces."
"The tool to open up the pet space is very precious. I don't have it on me for the time being, but your level has already reached Level 10. I can help you activate the pet space you can obtain after changing your class in advance. Is this okay?" Priestess Leisha gently asked.
However, there was nothing Lorne could do about it. He had originally thought that he would be able to obtain an additional pet space, but who would have thought that she would only help him activate the original pet space in advance? How was that any different from no reward?
"Forget it." Lorne shook his head, "Priestess, do you have any useful tools you don't need, such as the limbs of monsters or their sabers, swords, or wands?"
Monster limbs?
Upon hearing this, Priestess Leisha frowned slightly. In the end, she nodded and said, "Originally, these things were planned to be brought back to the main city to be handed over as materials for the Blacksmith Guild to do research. Since you like them, I'll give you some."
With a wave of her hand, a golden light fell upon Lorne.
The system's notification sounded immediately.
"Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the Light Priestess' gift: [Unknown Light Bone]!"
"Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the Light Priestess' gift: [Dried Undead Heart]!
"Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the Light Priestess' gift: [Continuous Burning Flame]!
"Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the Light Priestess' gift: [Blood-soaked Rusted Iron Sword]!
"Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the Light Priestess' gift: [Cracked Death Scythe]!"
Perhaps feeling that the items were not worth much, Priestess Leisha directly offered five strange items.

But Lorne's eyes glowed.
After hearing the names of these materials, he knew that they were very useful. If he used them to synthesize, he would definitely be able to obtain excellent monsters.
For example, 'Continuous Burning Flame' could add fire elements to monsters; the 'Sword' and 'Scythe' were weapons, and there were too many merging options to choose from.
The rest were also quite good. He believed that they would be useful in the future.
Satisfied, he left.
Now, he could level up properly and find a suitable monster. When Minotaur One and another pet reached Level 10, he could attempt to challenge the dungeon.
With that in mind, Lorne headed out of the village, humming.
...
At the entrance of the village, right after Lorne had barely left…
Suddenly!
From the wheat field and the village, a large group of players quickly gathered.
They all glared at him fiercely, clearly not here to treat him to a meal.
The players quickly surrounded him, ready to attack.
To a Summoner player, this was the most fatal blow.
Even if the Summoner's pets were invincible, they could not avoid such an encirclement because the enemies could attack the Summoner. As long as they killed the Summoner, the pets would naturally disappear.
At this moment, a familiar figure walked out of the crowd.
Unparalleled Domination was the one who led the members of the Domination Guild to encircle and suppress them.
"Tyrant, are you going to hand over your equipment yourself, or do you want me to kill you and take them forcefully?"
He looked at Lorne arrogantly, his eyes greedily staring at the Sage Staff in his hand. This exquisite Silver-grade equipment was like a dazzling gem that attracted the attention of many.
That was not all.
Look at the shining shoulder guards, exquisite war boots, and wrist guards. They were all bronze items!
It should be known that most of the current players were only wearing White Iron equipment. Some were still wearing beginner equipment.
At such a time, the Tyrant was dressed in bronze and even silver. It was too luxurious.
"If we can get a Bronze-grade weapon, it can feed us for a few months."
"We will also get 500 dollars each time we kill him!"
"You guys really don't have any goals. I'm aiming for the Silver-grade equipment."
"The Silver-grade equipment reward is 100,000 dollars!"
"All of you, move aside. Don't fight with me!"
The battle had not begun, but these people had already thought of how to take his equipment.
But Lorne was calm.
As a Summoner, death would not affect his combat ability at all. After all, pets were his true strength. Furthermore, under the circumstances that he was not a Red Named player, death would not cause too many equipment to drop. If these people wanted to strip him naked, they were thinking too much.
In addition, there was Rimuru and Minotaur One beside him. If they really fought, it was hard to say who would kill who!
The corners of Lorne's mouth turned up. He was going to have a good fight with them, or even kill them all!
Just as the battle was about to begin…
Suddenly!
Lightning exploded in the crowd, killing more than ten players from the Domination Guild on the spot. Everyone looked over and were stunned immediately.
