While Gou Dan's mortal eyes couldn't see through the depths of the cultists, Xi Wei in his Divine Kingdom could at once.
"Demons hatched from demonic eggs? No … those things might not even be as strong as Angora's elder brother, Pompey, who wasn't fully demonized. "
Though Pompey had been instakilled by Angora in the Silver Eagle Castle, it was purely the combined divine power of Xi Wei and Aslan, and that thing could have wiped out Edward's party in a single breath if it came to a fight.
On the other hand, although the cultists of the Secret Eye Society who were chasing after Gou Dan were also carrying demonic auras that caused Xi Wei to feel like he was seeing double from his Divine Kingdom, they were clearly much stronger. That was why a volley of bullets couldn't directly kill Gou Dan in his bear-like form when he was caught off guard.
"Their combat ability is around Level 28, huh."
Xi Wei concluded after measuring the cultists' ability that they were around the same level as the second-rate Players of his own church.
Still, considering that they were different from himself, the Secret Eye Society had clearly been operating in secret for years, with branches spread across the Eastern Continent. Their membership numbers must have reached a shocking number, and there must be quite a number of people of that level.
At that thought, Xi Wei suddenly felt a sense of danger.
Still, if he ventured deeper, he would find that even a mission that could anger the wood elves and force them to go all out to capture the wood elves' greatest treasure was only carried out by members of that level, and there weren't many of them either. That meant that there weren't many enemies of that level …
"But are the gods blind to have allowed such a demon-controlled organization to develop in this world for so long!?"
He grumbled indignantly at the thought.
Even the Church of Games, which had only recently opened its doors, had been up against the Secret Eye Society time and time again, even using the power of the Players to thwart the enemy's schemes.
And before that, the gods of the other churches seemed to have completely ignored the organization and knew nothing about the Secret Eye Society!
But if he thought about it carefully, this situation seemed to be normal in this distorted world.
After all, the gods were at the center of this world, and the struggle for belief was the most important thing for the various gods and religions, not to mention that the original gods that didn't require belief were more shut-in than the next.
In comparison, the Secret Eye Society, a miscellaneous military organization that didn't require belief and could be joined by anyone from any religion, would instead be the darkest spot. Apart from beings like Aslan, the God of Justice, no other god would be so free as to pay attention to them …
The Secret Eye Society was aware of their situation as well. They understood that most churches weren't much of a threat to them, and could even entice their believers into joining them through various benefits to strengthen themselves. On the other hand, they would avoid religions such as the Temple of Justice and the Temple, the God of Justice, the Great Aslan's good habit of avoiding them so that they wouldn't let Aslan notice their presence.
On the other hand, Xi Wei's Church of Games was a new church that didn't have much of a foundation, and naturally wouldn't fear the Players. Most of them would choose to silence the Players if they found out about their schemes, but the Players weren't the kind of people who would swallow humiliation after being bullied either, which was why the Players were always at odds with the Secret Eye Society.
"Whatever the case, Gou Dan's quest is done for now. Let the quest chain continue …" Xi Wei thought as he discreetly sent a strand of divine power down to the mortal realm.
[Ding! Side Quest: The Greatest Treasure of the Elves I completed]
[Side Quest: The Greatest Treasure of the Elves II activated]
[Quest Description: You've seen through the true face of the culprit. It's the Secret Eye Society, and while you don't know what they're planning to do with the Greatest Treasure of the Elves, it clearly isn't anything good. Moreover, you should be able to sense the evil magic emanating from the members of the Secret Eye Society. You know that they've been infected by demonic power and have become demonized, and are no longer normal humans. To protect the Greatest Treasure of the Elves, you must work together with your companions to defeat the evil demonized.]
[Quest Details: Slay the demonized (0/21), reclaim the Greatest Treasure of the Elves (0/1)]
[Quest Reward: Activate quest chain 'The Greatest Treasure of the Elves III', certain amount of EXP, certain amount of game coins, Elven Quiver (Accessory, Rare)]
[Note: 'The demonized can no longer stop you. Brave youth, go forth and create a miracle …'
Gou Dan, who suddenly noticed that the quest information had been updated, took a glance as he fled, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the quest chain had progressed to the second quest.
But at the same time, he was a little surprised that the Society of the Secret Eye that had been chasing after him and eating his farts had all fallen to demonification because of their demonic nature …
Then, he looked at the last line of the quest description, 'work together with your companions', and couldn't help feeling pleasantly surprised.
It seems that pulling the aggro towards Edward and the others was the right move! As expected of me, to make the best choice in such an emergency!
Gou Dan, who had turned into a leopard, felt that the fur on his chest had become even brighter.
But the quest description that appeared next made Gou Dan's balls ache.
"Reclaim the Greatest Treasure … that's easy for you to say …"
His Demonic Earth Bear form, which had the most HP, had lost almost half of its HP to the enemy's volley just now. If he had to withstand the enemy's firepower and reclaim the little girl, his name would probably be changed to 'Dead Dog' in three seconds.
It seems that he could only rely on Edward and the others to complete this quest.
"Come to think of it, the Greatest Treasure of the Elves, the Divine Spear Sefarim, should be a divine item as well … there's still a huge difference between divine items."
Gou Dan couldn't help thinking that once he remembered Joe's greatsword, the Giant's Toe, which he would hug even in his sleep, as well as the AWM that he had yet to get his hands on.
"I wonder what the Divine Spear Sefarim could do …"
Although the Legendary Equipment dropped by the Players could be considered as Godly Equipment and had high attributes, its greatest characteristic was that it would only grow stronger as the Players grew. It was a Growth Weapon.
Of course, for those with money, materials, and equipment who could continuously upgrade their equipment along with their own level, any equipment could be considered as having growth potential.
In the next moment, a strange feeling arose in Goudan's heart. It was as if he was being stared at by a terrifying monster, and he couldn't help but shudder with fear.
