Only one day had passed. ≧ ≧
When Shifeng arrived at District Five once more, he discovered that the place had undergone a massive change.
"How did this happen?" Shifeng was shocked when he saw the scene before him.
The originally flourishing District Five's Shelter was now in ruins. The towering walls had vanished, and collapsed houses littered the interior. There was not a single soul in sight.
Rotting corpses of monsters littered the wide street. These monsters were all very high-leveled, all of them above Level 40. The majority of these monsters were Elites, and there were also quite a few Special Elites and Chieftain ranked monsters.
"Lord!" After walking two streets into District Five, Shi Feng discovered a three-story-tall black bear.
[Nightmare Bear] (Demonic Creature, Lord) Level 40 HP 2,800,000/2,800,000
Even in the Evil Ghost Domain, Lord ranked monsters were extremely rare. According to Shifeng's understanding, Lords were almost never involved in monster attacks on Shelters. Most monsters were Chieftains.
Yet, before him, there were three or four Lord ranked monster corpses lying on the street. One could just imagine how intense the battle had been.
"What's going on here?" After running through several streets, Shifeng could not find a single player. It was as if District Five had become a ghost town overnight.
Normally, even if a Shelter fell, players would not retreat from the area so quickly.
Just as Shifeng arrived at District Five's central street, he heard players' screams in the distance.
Although this was not the first time Shifeng had heard such screams, that was in his previous life. In this life, however, this was the first time he had heard such desperate and painful screams.
Immediately, Shifeng activated Windwalk and dashed towards the source of the screams.
However, just as Shifeng was 200 yards away from the source of the screams, he suddenly felt his body sink. It was as if he had jumped into a swamp.
"Crap! It's a Domain!" Shifeng immediately leaped into the air. He instantly jumped out of the range of the Domain.
Only high-tiered creatures could grasp a Domain. Take Weissman, the Magistrate of White River City and a Tier 4 Great Wizard, for example. He could activate a Mana Domain, suppressing enemies within the domain while simultaneously increasing his own strength. To those without a Domain, this was an extremely disadvantageous situation. Unless one possessed strength far surpassing that of a Domain, one could only flee or die.
Meanwhile, the lowest tier one could use a Domain was Tier 4. In other words, there had to be at least a Tier 4 creature at the source of the sound.
The players screamed in agony. Needless to say, that Tier 4 creature was an enemy.
"Why would a Tier 4 creature come here?" The Shifeng was surprised.
At this stage of the game, it was impossible for players to come into contact with such a creature, not to mention in such a low-level area.
Shifeng hurriedly leaped onto the roof of the collapsed building and quietly looked over.
At this moment, there were still three surviving players on the central street. The leader was none other than Discipline Paradise, whom Shifeng had met once before. As for the other two players, one was a Level 28 Assassin, while the other was a Level 28 Berserker. However, all three of them did not have much HP remaining. Meanwhile, all sorts of Level 40 monsters surrounded Shi Feng. It was impossible for Shi Feng to escape, not to mention hovering in the air. It was a blood-eyed demon with a pair of bat wings and a pitch-black body.
Knettel, a demon-type creature. [Great Demon] Level 60 HP 50,000,000.
"Why is a Tier 4 Great Demon here?" The Shifeng was shocked when he saw Knettel.
Demons were humanity's enemies. As long as a Demon appeared within God's Domain, the armies of various countries would annihilate it. Hence, it was extremely rare to see a true Demon on the continent of God's Domain, not to mention a Great Demon.
Although the Great Demon before them was only Level 60, it was an invincible existence to current players. They could not afford to provoke it at all. Everyone would avoid it if they saw it.
"Despicable human, I will give you a chance to live. Hand over the Moloch's Ring you stole and submit to me," Knettel said as he looked down at Discipline Paradise. Knettel looked down at Discipline Paradise and coldly said, "Otherwise, I will let you have a taste of Soul Fire. Just like your companions, your soul will be completely extinguished."
Shifeng felt a chill run down his spine when he heard Knettel's words.
Souls were extremely important to players. For example, if he collected players' Immortal Souls, he would prevent them from logging into God's Domain for a short time. However, he had only collected a small portion of the players' Immortal Souls. If a player's Immortal Soul was completely burned by the Soul Fire, the consequences would be unimaginable.
This was not a problem of not being able to log into God's Domain for a few days. Instead, this account would be crippled. Players would have to create a new account and create a new Immortal Soul.
"Just what rank is this Discipline Paradise's quest? It's actually so frightening. "Shifeng broke out in cold sweat when he saw the black flames in the Great Demon's hand.
A Tier 4 creature, especially a Tier 4 Great Demon, would not come here for no reason. The only possibility was a quest. Due to a special quest, Discipline Paradise had failed to complete it in time, resulting in such a punishment. It was just like the Quest he had accepted, Darkness Descends.
"You want me to submit? Wait another million years! I'll fight you to the death!" Discipline Paradise shouted as he hurled his shield at the Great Demon Knettel.
The golden shield flew out, but before it reached the Great Demon Knettel, Knettel grabbed it with his hand and pinched it lightly.
Peng!
The Level 25 Fine-Gold shield was destroyed in the blink of an eye …
To a Tier 4 creature, destroying Fine-Gold Equipment was a piece of cake. Only Dark-Gold Equipment could withstand the attack for some time.
Meanwhile, the two players beside Discipline Paradise were dumbfounded.
"Since you are unwilling to become my servant, then die!" The Great Demon Knettel sneered. With a light wave of his hand, black flames suddenly filled the sky as they flew towards Discipline Paradise.
Discipline Paradise's trio could not resist the Soul Fire's assault at all.
Not only did their HPs decrease, but the pain from the flames also caused them to scream uncontrollably. Only after the black flames had burned for over a dozen seconds and burned the three players to ashes did the black flames disappear completely.
"My quest won't be easy now." Shifeng felt a headache coming on.
He had gone to great lengths to obtain the Chapter of Darkness, allowing him to enter the Dark Den through Discipline Paradise. Now, however, Discipline Paradise had accepted a frightening Quest that he could not complete, forcing him to restart the game. How was he supposed to enter the Dark Den now?
"Huh? What's that?" With his extraordinary eyesight, Shifeng discovered a black glow beneath Discipline Paradise's ashes. "A ring?"
Suddenly, Shifeng recalled the Moloch's Ring that the Great Demon Knettel had mentioned.
That ring was the item that triggered the quest. Since it was a quest item, it naturally would not disappear along with Discipline Paradise's disappearance. Naturally, it would remain.
"Could my trip to the Dark Den be related to this ring?" Shifeng could not help but fall into deep thought.
Previously, he had asked Blue Frost about the Dark Den. However, Blue Frost did not know anything about the Dark Den. He also did not know that the Chapter of Darkness could open the entrance to the Dark Den.
As the leader of District One, he actually knew less information than Discipline Paradise. No matter how Shi Feng thought about it, it was impossible. The only possibility was that Discipline Paradise had some special means.
Moreover, Discipline Paradise desired the Chapter of Darkness so much.
Now, the Great Demon had appeared for the ring before him.
Who would believe that the ring had nothing to do with the Chapter of Darkness?
"I can only give it a try."
