Ruins of the imperial capital:
Shifeng controlled the Tier 3 Demons to kill Ghouls on the streets filled with wandering Undead.
However, the Ghouls were few in number. Even after clearing out the several streets surrounding the Palace, Shifeng had only obtained four Bronze Mastery Books. His experience bar, however, had increased significantly. He was now 53% of Level 37. At most, he would need another day to reach Level 38.
After Shifeng killed the last Ghoul in the 200-yard forbidden area, a golden light suddenly shot out from the sky.
Suddenly, a golden light emerged from the Ghoul and shot into the sky. After the golden light dissipated, a golden beam of light entered Shi Feng's body.
The sound of a system notification suddenly reached Shi Feng's ears.
System: You have freed your bound soul and received the Undead's Blessing. For every Ghoul you kill, you will gain 1 point of Reputation with the Thunderbeast Empire.
"Killing a Ghoul increases my Reputation in the empire?" Shifeng immediately understood how to enter the Palace.
Whether it was a kingdom's Palace or an empire's Palace, players could not easily enter. The prerequisite was that players needed a certain amount of Reputation to enter.
However, regardless of whether it was a kingdom's or an empire's Reputation, it was not easy to increase it. Normally, players could only obtain some Reputation by completing special quests or obtaining the First Clear of a Team Dungeon.
These Thunderbeast Guards were mechanical puppets. They would only carry out orders left behind. As long as one's Reputation met the requirement, they could enter.
To enter a kingdom's Palace, one needed to reach the rank of Count in the kingdom's Reputation. To enter an empire's Palace, one needed to reach the rank of Marquis in the empire.
Meanwhile, a Marquis required 5,000 Reputation.
Under normal circumstances, it would be extremely difficult to accumulate so many Reputation. However, now that Shi Feng could obtain Reputation by killing Ghouls, he would have a much easier time.
"No wonder this quest has a 10-day time limit. It turns out that I need to kill 5,000 Ghouls." Shifeng more or less understood why the quest had a 10-day time limit.
Ghouls were Level 60 Special Elites. Moreover, many Suffering Undead roamed the area. They needed to kill them all at once. Even an ordinary Level 60 expert would have to spend a lot of time to kill one, taking at least eight minutes. At most, they would have to kill 5,000 Ghouls in a little over ten minutes. Even if they fought non-stop for ten days, they would not be able to do so.
However, this was nothing to the Shifeng.
A single Level 52, Tier 3 Demon could kill Ghouls faster than a 20-man team. Not to mention, Shi Feng could control two Tier 3 Demons.
Following which, the Shifeng began to search for the Ghouls in a frenzy.
Previously, the Shifeng had to wait for the Ghouls in the 200-yard forbidden zone, which limited their range of movement. Hence, their efficiency in killing the Ghouls was very low. Now, however, this restriction was lifted. They could directly kill from one end of the street to the end without stopping.
As the Ghouls were killed one by one, the reputation of the Shifeng continued to rise.
System: You have killed a Ghoul. Thunderbeast Empire Prestige + 1.
System: You have killed a Ghoul. Thunderbeast Empire Prestige + 1.
System: You have killed a Ghoul. Thunderbeast Empire Prestige + 1.
…
After more than three hours, the Shifeng's reputation had increased to 207 points. This was much slower than the Shifeng's expectations.
Although he had killed the Ghouls quickly, there were only so many Ghouls on the street. Running from one Ghoul to another required a lot of time. Hence, the speed at which his reputation increased was greatly reduced.
At this rate, I should be able to finish this task in two days without rest. The remaining time should be enough to remove the curse and complete the quest. Just as Shifeng was thinking up to this point, the system suddenly beeped with a warning.
This warning was the sound of a phone call in the real world. Normally, it would only sound when players entered an area where they could not contact the outside world and their phones could not connect to God's Domain.
Did something happen outside? Shifeng did not think too much about it. Immediately, he swiped his finger and called up the system interface. He then clicked the logout button.
Previously, he had told Fire Dance and the others about this. He was currently doing a quest in a special area and could not contact the outside world. If nothing serious happened, there was no need to contact him. Unless there was an emergency, he could call him.
It was currently 3 AM in the real world. Ordinary people would not contact him at this hour.
The only possibility was that something had happened to Ling Yi. Otherwise, Hei Zi and the others would call him in the middle of the night.
In the middle of the night, Shifeng exited the virtual gaming cabin. His surroundings were dark.
The quantum watch on Shifeng's wrist emitted an incoming call. Shifeng glanced at the caller ID. It was a call from Hei Zi.
"Hei Zi, what happened in God's Domain? Why are you in such a hurry?" Shifeng asked after answering the call.
"Brother Feng, in the Stoneclaw Mountains … something big happened." After answering the call, Hei Zi anxiously said, "Nearly all 300 members of our Guild, the Dark Gods Legion, were annihilated in the Stoneclaw Mountains. Only a dozen or so managed to escape to Stone Forest Town."
"How is that possible?" Shifeng could not help but be stunned. "Could it be the Star Alliance? That shouldn't be possible!"
Although the Dark Gods Legion only had 300 members, their equipment was top-notch, and their combat techniques were top-notch. In addition, they possessed a Berserk Skill like Power of Darkness. Even if the Star Alliance dispatched all of their elites, it should be impossible for only a dozen or so to escape.
"Back then, I also thought that it was the Star Alliance. However, according to the survivors, those people weren't from the Star Alliance, nor were they Red Names. They were a group of independent players. The instant they appeared, they killed several dozen members of the Dark Gods Legion. Even if the entire legion activated Power of Darkness, they couldn't last more than a few hits.
"Among these people, the more powerful ones can kill them in a few seconds. They don't even have time to react before they die …"
Hei Zi was similarly shocked. Hence, she had immediately contacted Shifeng.
After all, aside from the Ling YI Society's main force, the Dark Gods Legion was the most powerful team in the entire Starmoon Kingdom. Not to mention, the Dark Gods Legion also possessed Power of Darkness.
Yet, such a powerful team had been annihilated …
How could this not be frightening?
News of this matter had already spread throughout the entire Starmoon Kingdom. If they did not deal with this matter properly, the Ling YI Society's prestige would plummet.
"A group of independent players with top-tier equipment and extremely high skills? Could it be the Flower of Seven Sins? " After giving the matter some thought, Shifeng concluded that only the Flower of Seven Sins had such an ability. "However, isn't the Flower of Seven Sins targeting Ling Yi's main force and upper echelons?"
When Hei Zi heard Shifeng say that it was the Flower of Seven Sins, she was similarly shocked.
Shi Feng believed in Shifeng's deduction. Only, he had never imagined that the Flower of Seven Sins would be so powerful.
Originally, he had thought that no power could defeat Ling Yi's Dark Gods Legion so easily. Even if the Flower of Seven Sins wanted to take action, they would have to expend a lot of effort. However, looking at the results, it seemed that the Flower of Seven Sins had steamrolled the Dark Gods Legion.
If the Dark Gods Legion was so powerful, the main force would most likely fare no better.
"Brother Feng, what should we do now?" Hei Zi hurriedly asked, panicking.
