Dark Moon Graveyard

First mentioned in chapter 94 when Gentle Snow invited Shi Feng and his new party of six to participate in Ouroboros' attempt on the dungeon.

## Description

Dark Moon Grave is a Level 5 twenty-man Team Dungeon located within the Dark Moon Valley. It is a prominent milestone as it is the first Team Dungeon available to players that is close to Red Leaf Town and it has its own Glory List which lists down the names of the Teams and players who obtained the First Clear for the three difficulties (Normal, Hard, and Hell), and the fastest record of completion with a reserved record set at three hours.  The main goal of the dungeon is to find the exit and leave the dungeon. Upon leaving, players will receive the corresponding Dungeon rewards.

Upon entering the dungeon in Normal Mode, players will be teleported to a graveyard and face a maze of gigantic stones. Countless wails of anguish is heard occasionally while the red moon hung in the sky, creating a strange atmosphere. Kobolds are the common monsters in the dungeons and have set various traps in the maze. Kobold Zombies can be found after crossing a certain threshold in the maze

Upon entering the dungeon in Hell Mode, a dense fog shrouds the graveyard and carried an endless air of murder. There was a heavy and oppressive feeling that suppressed the players upon their entry.  The same stone maze blocks the wat to the exit. After progressing far enough, players will find an underground mausoleum in the central area. It is the sole exit of the dungeon and also the location of the Final Boss.

## History

### Normal Mode Attempt (Chapter 97 to 100)

When the dungeon was first mentioned, Shi Feng had been invited by Gentle Snow to participate in their first raid. The party of twenty (2 Clerics (includes Xiao Yue'er), 1 Oracle (Drowsy Sloth), 1 Druid, 1 Summoner (Gluttonous Mouse) 3 Berserkers (includes Gentle Snow, and Lonely Snow), 3 Elementalists (includes Zhao Yueru), 2 Cursemancers (includes Blackie), 1 Guardian Knight (Cola), 1 Shield Warrior (Ghost Chop), 1 Ranger, 2 Assassins (White Cry, and Wind Shadow), and 2 Swordsman (includes Shi Feng), were making good progress before encountering the Kobold Zombies which proved too difficult for them. Shi Feng offered a solution but requested for control over the team. Although it caused alot of dissatisfaction, Gentle Snow still made the final decision to trust him. The party left the dungeon and retried again but this time, Shi Feng selected the Hell Mode instead.

### Hard Mode Attempt (Chapter 100 to 107)

Upon entering the dungeon in Hell Mode, many of Gentle Snow's people were displeased but were silenced by Gentle Snow. Shi Feng provided his gurantee half-heartedly as he didn't want to raise any suspicions as Team Dungeons were not part of the beta test that Gentle Snow believed he was involved in. Shi Feng distributed the party roles before leading them in a mad dash through the fog while giving instructions to the team. After running for ten minutes, they managed to find a nook which had a small entrance that was blockable with two MTs. With the usage of various AOE spells, the party was able to kill the horde of Kobolds and gained a large amount of Exp and equipment upgrades.

As they progressed deeper in the maze, they killed hordes of Kobolds before reaching the central area where the exit and the Final Boss was located. After sending Ghost Chop to attempt the boss, he was killed in an instance. After he was revived and the party saw his recording, they were discouraged and Gentle Snow thought of retiring from the dungeon. However, Shi Feng offered a potential solution, the four-man rotation battle, and Gentle Snow agreed to take the risk. Shi Feng started giving out detailed instructions to the various players. Soon after the real battle started with Cola taking the lead. After getting into the groove of the strategy, the party was able to reduced its HP greatly and it entered a Berserk state at 30% hp remaining. In its Berserk state, it caused the party major issues and resulted in one death. The party waited for the Berserk state to end but the boss had recovered up to 50% of its hp. Shi Feng immediately got the rotational battle started again and they brought its hp to 20%. At this point, the boss abandoned his greatsword and took out two blood-red, one-handed longswords with runes craved onto them. It released its Ultimate move, Blade Storm and managed to take down six players. It followed up with its second ultimate skill, Death's Intimidation, which killed four other player in the initial few seconds of the skill. When it locked onto Shi Feng, he was able to break out of the control effect and took down the boss in a last ditch effort.

The party managed to survive the encounter with six remaining members. Gentle Snow got Xiao Yue'er to revive the remaining members before they went through the loot. There were a total of eight pieces of equipment and six other items. The equipment included the Runic Sword (won by Gentle Snow), the Runic Shield (won by Cola), two other Secret-Silver equipment for a Cleric and a Swordsman (won by Shi Feng), the remaining four were part of a Mysterious-Iron Set Equipment. The other six items were the Advanced Whetstone Recipe, Ash Blade, and four other rare materials, which were all given to Shi Feng for his strategy in completing the dungeon.
