Just as Shifeng was guessing Xia Lian's identity, a hint of shock appeared in Xia Lian's golden eyes.
"You actually managed to obtain it!" Xia Lian could not help but size up Shifeng. "And here I thought you would bring a fake to help you solve your problem."
Shifeng revealed a surprised expression when he heard Xia Lian's words.
He had only heard about the fake from the Fallen Angel Serena. He never thought that Xia Lian would know about it as well.
Seeing Shifeng's confusion, Xia Lian smiled and explained, "The Bible of Darkness is no small matter. It is an item created by the Lord of Destruction. It is a treasure used to control all Demons. Even though it has been destroyed, the Bible of Darkness still possesses boundless power. Countless powerhouses want to obtain it. In the past, many powerhouses have visited the Dark Den in an attempt to obtain the Bible of Darkness. However, the Bible of Darkness they brought back was a fake.
"Although the Bible of Darkness you brought back is a fake, it still possesses a certain amount of power. It should be able to resolve the issue of you being targeted by a Great Demon. However, at the end of the day, a fake is still a fake. It might still be useful to weak adventurers like you, but to high-level powerhouses, it's nothing more than a chicken rib. It's tasteless, but it would be a waste to discard it.
"It's no wonder why Fantasy Extinguisher stopped using the Bible of Darkness after reaching Tier 4 in the past. So, that's why." Shifeng came to a realization after hearing Xia Lian's explanation.
In the past, Fantasy Extinguisher had made a name for himself with the Bible of Darkness, allowing the Fantasy Shrine to suppress the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion's Branch Guild. However, after Fantasy Extinguisher got promoted to Tier 4 Emperor Spiritualist, he stopped using the Bible of Darkness. Back then, everyone had thought that Fantasy Extinguisher had lost the Bible of Darkness.
An Epic item, especially a special Epic item like the Bible of Darkness, would be effective as long as one placed it in one's bag. It was not linked to one's level at all. Even Tier 5 apex experts would use it all the time. After all, Fragmented Legendary and Legendary items were simply too rare. Even Tier 6 God-ranked classes might not possess such an item. It was already fortunate for them to possess such an Epic item.
Now, however, it would seem that the limit of the Bible of Darkness's usefulness was only up to Tier 3. After reaching Tier 4, the Bible of Darkness would no longer be useful. Hence, he stopped using it.
"Take it out." Xia Lian's beautiful eyes curved. He said softly.
Shifeng carefully retrieved the Bible of Darkness from his bag and placed it on a nearby table.
"Mhm, sure enough, it is the real deal. You really are quite capable. Who knows how many powerhouses have tried to obtain the Bible of Darkness, only to obtain fakes in the end? If they were to find out that a little fellow like you had obtained the real deal, I'm sure they would go mad with anger," Xia Lian said as he carefully inspected the Bible of Darkness. He nodded and said with a smile, "Since you have the genuine product, I'll give you two choices."
"The first option is to solve the problem of the Great Devil's descent without paying any fees."
"The second option is to pay 1,500 Gold and 100 Soul Crystals. With this option, you can eliminate the Great Demon targeting you once and for all."
"As expected." Shifeng couldn't help but look at Xia Lian with disdain. He only had a total of 1,600 gold in his bag. This was the money that Candlelight had earned during this period. If he gave it to Xia Lian, he would become a pauper again.
Even so, the Shifeng gritted his teeth and handed it over.
If he chose the first option … Although it might seem like he had solved the problem of the Great Demon's descent, in reality, he had only weakened the Great Demon, allowing players to deal with it. In other words, he would have to deal with the Great Demon's descent every once in a while until he killed the Great Demon at its peak. Otherwise, the situation would continue.
In the past, Fantasy Extinguisher had also been troubled by the descent of darkness. From time to time, he would have to deal with weakened Great Demons, causing chaos in the Fantasy Shrine.
Now that he had the second option, he could already be considered very lucky.
This might be the difference between a fake and the real deal.
Sharlyn, who had a holy smile on her face, received the gold coins and soul crystals. She nodded in satisfaction and said, "Alright, you can leave now."
Following Xia Lian's request, Shifeng retreated over 30 yards away.
Meanwhile, Xia Lian picked up the Bible of Darkness. After flipping through a few pages, he began to chant the incantations within the book. His hands continuously drew various incantations in the air.
As the incantations he wrote grew longer, the Power of Darkness in the hall also grew denser. A faint black fog could be seen with the naked eye. This black fog madly gathered before Xia Lian, forming a fourfold magic array. The surrounding space also began to blur. The powerful Mana even suppressed the space within the hall.
Isn't this Mana a little too strong? I can't even move. Shifeng was shocked when he saw the fourfold magic array hovering in the air.
A magic array could actually create a space of its own. Only a Tier 5 player like Xia Lian could use such a magic array.
After Sharlyn finished writing the incantation, she took out 100 Soul Crystals and tossed them into the air. Immediately, the 100 gray-colored Soul Crystals transformed into gray smoke and transformed into a silver-gray gate. Countless Demons were carved on the ancient gate, and every one of these Demons was extremely famous in God's Domain. Ordinary Tier 4 powerhouses wouldn't dare provoke these existences.
Is he trying to summon a Demon? Shifeng could clearly sense how frightening this gate was as he looked at it. If he opened this gate, something terrifying would most likely descend upon him.
"Your guess is correct. He is indeed trying to summon a Demon. Moreover, he is trying to summon the Great Demon that has targeted you. Otherwise, how are we supposed to get rid of him?" Xia Lian rolled his eyes at Shifeng. He then shifted his golden eyes to the gray gate and said, "In the name of Darkness, I summon you here. Come out, Great Demon Kildred!"
As soon as Xia Lian finished speaking, the gray gate opened with a loud rumble.
"Who dares summon me?" a chilling voice came from behind the gray gate.
Following which, a figure emerged from the gray gate. This figure had a pair of black bat wings and two pitch-black goat horns on his head. His entire body was covered in black scales, and his blood-red eyes were filled with killing intent.
The moment Kildred appeared, he scanned his surroundings with his blood-red eyes, a sneer appearing on his face.
"And here I was wondering who it was. So, it's you, a puny Divine Official, and that foolish adventurer," Kildred said disdainfully as he flapped his wings. "I never thought that ants like you could actually obtain the real Bible of Darkness. As a reward for summoning me, I'll accept your souls and the Bible of Darkness." Kildred sneered as he flapped his wings.
"Is this Great Demon stupid?" Shifeng looked at Kildred in confusion.
Kildred was a Level 180, Tier 4 Great Demon, while Xia Lian was a Level 200, Tier 5 Red Official. No matter how he looked at it, they were not even on the same level. Yet, Kildred actually dared to call Xia Lian a puny Divine Official?
Did Kildred think that he was a Tier 6 Demon God?
"Huh? That's not right." Shifeng immediately discovered the problem. Before he knew it, Xia Lian had risen from a Tier 5 Red Official to a Tier 3 Divine Official.
"Little Brother, stop daydreaming. Your current mission is to kill him," Xia Lian instructed Xiang Shifeng, ignoring Kildred's provocation.
