Chapter 97: Voodoo Priest! Deep One!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
An aura that made one's heart palpitate engulfed the area.
The obscure incantation was full of filth, impurity, and twistedness. It sounded as if someone was extolling the existence of a certain taboo in the abyss!
Xue Linglong and others—who were fighting in the snow—felt their blood run cold, and countless goosebumps appeared on their skin.
Following the shaking of this aura, soil exploded on the charred ground!
Many rat-like creatures with messy fur broke out through the ground's surface and continuously crawled out. Unlike usual rats, these rats all had blood-red eyes that reflected violence and madness.
The teeth in their mouths were extremely sharp, gleaming with a green glow. Even their crimson gums were exposed!
If one were to be bitten by these strange creatures, one's entire body would probably be ripped apart!
The sounds of rats crawling and scuffling, and the sounds of rats grinding their teeth incessantly lingered on; it was very disconcerting!
Yang Xuerou, Qiao Ruowei, and the other females in the team all furrowed their slender brows simultaneously. They were naturally very averse to this kind of creature!
Fortunately, through the apocalyptic world's tests, these ladies' minds had become especially stable. It was still unlikely that they would start screaming at this point.
The swarm of rats spread; the sight was appalling!
Luo Xinghe turned back to take a glance, and the heart in his chest could not but drop for a moment. He felt a chill engulf his whole body. "Why are there so many rats? We have to kill this centaur as quickly as possible!"
The few people swiftly made a decision and intensified their attacks for a time!
Although the Fallen Centaur was a Stage Four monster, his specialty was in archery.
When Xue Linglong and others went close to the centaur, the bone bow in his hand was switched to double blades. However, under the party's cooperation, he unavoidably headed toward his end gradually.
On the other side, six-winged Holy Angel Yuna swung the staff in her hands.
Around her, waves of brilliant holy light rippled outward. She was like a big, glorious sun, standing above the zenith.
"Holy Light Blessing!" With Yuna's delicate cry, a massive screen of holy light appeared.
The splendid holy light screen protected Link, Yang Xuerou—as well as everyone fighting the centaur within it.
The holy light energy clearly caused great damage to these dark and chaotic creatures.
The swarm of rats—which unrolled like a huge, black carpet—were burnt by the holy flame before they even came close to the screen.
They let out pitiful squeals, but the succeeding rats still pounced at Link and company madly!
Not afraid of death! Or rather, they were only left with the instinct to kill their prey.
Layers upon layers of rat bodies—burnt by the holy flame—piled up outside of the light screen!
Meanwhile, Holy Angel Yuna wielded her staff repeatedly, releasing [Holy Light Blessing] and [Holy Light Purification]. This scorched the approaching mischief of rats.
Yang Xuerou's countenance became slightly pale. But she felt an inexplicable sense of reassurance when she saw Link's figure that apathetically stood beside her.
It was as if there was nothing to fear as long as this man was present, even if they were on the verge of extermination! It didn't matter if the heavens fell or if the earth crumbled.
Yang Xuerou calmed down and chanted unhurriedly.
Streaks of spell radiances burst from her staff and provided buffs to her teammates.
Meanwhile, Link watched the overspreading rats with an aloof countenance. He astutely sensed that the true target of the rats didn't seem to be them.
He only saw the countless rats lifting the pig head—which was the only thing left of the Fallen Butcher.
The rats didn't let off the Fallen Goblin's tattered body either. They moved everything toward one direction—it was a forest formed by distorted trees.
A thick mist hung around the forest, so one was unable to get a clear look of what exactly was concealed.
Link stretched out his hand and pointed to the edge where the mist permeated, signaling to Yuna. "There."
Yuna—who was in midair—nodded and cried out, "Holy Light Purification!"
Within moments, a surge of holy light energy fell in that direction like a meteor falling from the sky!
Boom!
The golden energy ball exploded, and the mist that obstructed their vision was dispelled.
At the edge of the forest, a figure—which was entirely shrouded by a torn cloak—stood with a staff in hand. This figure's pair of eyes, filled with madness, were greedily watching the forms of Link and company.
By this figure's side were two other figures. One was armed with a huge axe, yet his body was extremely bent. He had black hair all over his body—he was a ratman!
The other figure was grayish-green from head to foot and covered in pustules. Some pustules had even burst and slowly dripped an unknown liquid outward; it was utterly repulsive! This figure's head was like a frog's.
Two eyes bulged outwards, and its large mouth was wide. There were also squirming gills on the two sides of this figure's neck. The figure's long, deep-purple tongue hung out.
These figures' appearances were extremely twisted and absolutely hideous. So much so that low-level Evolvers would also fall into chaos and madness if they stared at these figures for an extended period of time!
Link's gaze turned cold. The remaining enemies had finally appeared.
It was also then that notifications sounded in everybody's minds.
[Voodoo Priest]
Name: Cato
Profession: Voodoo Priest (Diamond-grade)
Level: Stage Four, Level 9 (Set according to adventurer's level!)
Introduction: Cato was the priest of the Orc race. He was devoted to studying the darkest and bloodiest parts of witchcraft. During an accidental chance—or the bored move of a certain god god—he received an obscure incantation. This was the song of praise to offer one's soul to a certain taboo existence in the abyss...
[Fallen Ratman]
Name: Gray
Profession: Ratman Warrior (Silver-grade)
Level: Stage Four, Level 7 (Set according to adventurer's level!)
Introduction: Gray was a ratman living in the crypts. His race was a product of chaos to begin with. They were born from a certain god's vile interests after he mixed rats and humans together. Gray is even closer to pure chaos and darkness now...
[Deep One]
Name: Jill
Profession: Deep One (Silver-grade)
Level: Stage Four, Level 8
Introduction: Jill was originally a fisherman. He had always been rather lucky, often able to catch large amounts of fish when he went out to sea. However, at some point, he actually developed an absurd thought: He wanted to jump into the deep sea; it seemed as if that was where he belonged.
Jill felt an indescribable fear toward his own thoughts. However, not only did this thought not fade with time, but it became even stronger instead. Following his increasing age, Jill's appearance gradually became strange. His body even emitted a stench that resembled dead fish. Hence, he began to keep away from humans.
During a certain trip out to sea, he disappeared into the vast and mysterious ocean forever...
It was three Stage Four monsters again. A fearsome might shook this place; it made one terrified!
The suppression emanating from the Voodoo Priest was even nearing that of a Stage Five existence!
The rats placed the Fallen Butcher's and Fallen Goblin's corpses in front of the Voodoo Priest.
The Voodoo Priest's palm—which was hidden beneath the tattered robes—gradually opened, radiating a green light. He drew two illusory souls out of the corpses.
A dim glow then emerged in the Voodoo Priest's eyes. He looked at these two souls as if they were some kind of delicacies.
Without hesitation, he stuffed the two souls into his mouth. At the same time, the aura radiating from the Voodoo Priest became even scarier!
Stage Four, Level 9... Stage Four, Level 10... Stage Five, Level 1... Stage Five, Level 3...
His level swiftly rose, and a great sense of crisis enveloped everyone!

Chapter 98: Stage Five Monster! Sword Immortal Arrives!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Luo Xingyao, Xue Linglong, and the others all felt great pressure. This was a level suppression; it made them instinctively feel fearful!
Link's deep eyes were still filled with indifference; it was total calmness within.
Stage Four monsters were already considered nothing to the present him! If only Stage Four were monsters in this Hell mode dungeon, he would find it tasteless instead.
Presently, the Stage Five monster's appearance had made Link slightly more spirited.
After devouring two souls, the Voodoo Priest's aura—which advanced continuously—finally came to a standstill at Stage Five, Level 3!
Surpassing the remaining monsters' capabilities by one Stage, the Voodoo Priest caused the ratman and frogman beside him to move away from him slightly.
"Souls filled with chaos and madness, indeed delicious. But these still aren't enough; I need even more souls..." The Voodoo Priest spoke up hoarsely. His crimson eyeballs looked toward Link and company.
He swung his staff lightly, and the overwhelming crowd of rats parted to form a path.
The 'Deep One' frogman and the Fallen Ratman—who'd waited for a long time—pounced in the direction of Link and company together.
At the same time, the battle between the centaur, Luo Xingyao, and the others was about to finish.
Luo Xingyao's figure leaped out. The [Bow of Elf] in her hands burst out with enchanting rays of light, and the mirage of the Big Dipper's stars then emerged!
Myriad starlight scattered and condensed to form arrows!
A deafening whistle sounded the next instant, the arrows were released at the same time, and starlight shone in all directions!
It was precisely the skill—[Seven Stars Broken Moon]—that Luo Xingyao had grasped by herself!
[Silvermoon Sword Emperor, Luo Xinghe, also abruptly swung the longsword in his hands. A piercing sword glow wailed out and headed right for the centaur's head.
Xue Linglong—who was at the side—also flew up. Her figure flickered and turned into a phantom. A chilly glow formed in her hand, and an indistinct dragon roar actually sounded!
A black dragon—condensed via frost—suddenly jumped out; its claws rose as it directly pounced toward the centaur!
This was the [Azure Dragon Vanquish] skill!
Under the biting attacks, the two hideous dog heads at the centaur's sides suddenly let out long howls.
As they howled, two clouds of terrifying energy were exhaled from the dog mouths!
Boom!
A massive explosion sounded, practically about to tear people's ear membranes apart!
A frightening shockwave swept through the area. The battle's repercussions made the ground crack inch by inch like a spiderweb!
Dust and smoke billowed. Unable to discern the actual situation, Xue Linglong and company retreated slightly, their gazes revealing vigilance.
However, a snarl soon sounded!
A figure abruptly dashed out of the smoke and dust, rushing towards the edge of the forest...
It was the centaur, who was covered in wounds. He had been fighting the few people for a long time and suffered the powerful skills' attacks, but he had yet to die!
"A Stage Four monster's vitality is actually this terrifying!" Luo Xinghe couldn't help but gasp inwardly.
The few of them hurriedly charged out, wanting to intercept the fleeing centaur. However, a phantom flashed across right then!
Glimmering together with the phantom was a glaring cold ray of light!
It was Qiao Ruowei and the dagger in her hands!
The [Nightmare Rose] had been hiding for a long time already, and she finally caught a superb opportunity to attack!
Filthy blood spurted in all directions from the centaur's throat, like a life-stealing rose that bloomed quietly!
This Stage Four monster finally collapsed on the ground, completely lifeless!
Yuna lifted her hand to draw out a streak of holy light, and holy flames blazed around the centaur's corpse, burning this corpse into ashes!
However, the current situation still did not allow for relaxing.
Xue Linglong and others stood behind Link, solemnly watching that overwhelming mischief of rats—as well as the frogman and ratman, who were swiftly and violently charging toward them.
"Pretty good cooperation." Link's tone was cool as he expressed his approval of Xue Linglong and company.
Qiao Ruowei, Luo Xingyao, and the others instantly looked stunned!
Link's encouragement was rarely heard. Their current exhaustion seemed to be wiped away, and they now felt full of vigor!
With the centaur's death, hints of surprise flashed through the frogman's and ratman's eyes. Earlier, they had spectated the battle at the edge of the forest. Hence, they already knew that Link was a difficult opponent.
However, they never expected that the remaining few people were actually also capable of killing a Stage Four monster after banding together!
This made them slightly surprised.
Meanwhile, a speck of tyrannical killing intent burst out of the Voodoo Priest's eyes! He originally wanted to devour the centaur's soul, but Link had already seen through his tricks.
Link had communicated with Yuna in advance through thoughts, telling her to burn the centaur's corpse and soul into ashes with holy light!
The hunching ratman armed with a huge axe and the frogman soon arrived!
Boom!
Boom!
The huge axe repeatedly struck the holy light screen, causing the golden screen to dim!
On the other hand, the frogman used its webbed hands to grab a long, rusty spear! The long spear came striking, and the holy light screen completely shattered!
The strong stench emitting from the frogman's body instantly floated into the party's noses! It was a rotting fishy odor that could almost make one suffocate!
Xue Linglong suppressed the urge to vomit. The long spear in her hand jumped out like a dragon leaving the water, pointing directly at the frogman!
Luo Xinghe also met the hunching ratman, who held a big axe.
A roar instantly exploded!
Even with Qiao Ruowei and Luo Xingyao supporting them from the side, the immense suppression due to their levels still made them helpless.
Luo Xinghe and Xue Linglong were repeatedly forced back and met with several close calls.
The frogman and ratman were extremely furious at this point! The nobodies before them were clearly inferior in terms of capabilities, yet they were able to rely on their teamwork to stop the duo from killing them instantly!
This was virtually an insult to them!
The frogman opened his big mouth, and thick green fog instantly gushed out from his mouth! This was clearly a certain kind of poisonous fog, so everyone hurriedly moved back!
However, the ratman at the side seized the opportunity to brandish his huge axe. The axes' icy edge spun at high speed, sweeping toward Xue Linglong and others like a typhoon.
At this moment, Link also moved.
As he brazenly charged toward the ratman, golden light rippled around him like a large, unstoppable golden sword.
[Holy Charge]!
Boom!
A loud bang sounded!
The ratman was directly sent flying by the collision like a kite with a broken string!
But Link's onslaught of attacks had yet to end. The [Ring of Teleportation] on his finger faintly rippled with a silver glow.
[Instant Teleport]—which had the effect of displacement—was launched!
While the Fallen Ratman was still midair, the [King's Sword]'s released a brilliant golden ray of light and rampantly slashed down toward him!
Pu chi!
A ripping noise sounded!
Dirty blood splashed in the air!
Link directly ripped apart the Fallen Ratman into two sections!
Meanwhile, Link landed lightly. His white robes flapped like he was a sword immortal arriving!
In mere seconds, a Stage Four monster had died on the spot!
This scene took everyone present by surprise and made them somewhat baffled! After all, Link was only a Stage Three powerhouse. Fighting a monster above his level was already exceptional enough and astonishing to others! Yet, who would've thought that Link could actually kill a Stage Four monster within a split second!?
Even Xue Linglong and the others—who'd been shocked many times by Link—couldn't help staring at Link with admiration at this point!
It turned out this man previously had never given his all the whole time. It was no wonder that he could kill a Stage Five monster!
After killing the ratman, Link did not bother with the frogman.
The frogman was a whetstone he was leaving for Xue Linglong and the rest. With Yuna watching at the side, there wouldn't be any danger.
Link lifted the longsword in his hand, the sword tip pointing right at the Voodoo Priest—who stood at the fringe of the forest!

Chapter 99: Domains! Mad Rat Tide!
The Voodoo Priest's face—which was shrouded beneath the tattered cloak—emitted two spots of chilly eyes! He looked at Link, letting out a dry and piercing laugh.
His laugh sounded as if two pieces of rock were in his throat and rubbing against each other. But it also sounded like a night owl's hooting. It made one extremely uneasy!
The aura radiating from the Voodoo Priest also became increasingly frightening!
The extremely weirdly-designed staff—which had a tip that looked like a withered and twisted palm holding a still-beating heart—abruptly started dancing at this moment!
Streams of gray energy filled with degeneration and twistedness emanated in this area!
The overwhelming mischief of rats seemed to receive a certain trigger and stimulus. The crimson glow in the rats' eyes became stronger!
A sense of danger instantly enveloped the party like it was bearing down on them with Mount Taishan's weight!
The countenances of Luo Xinghe and the others—who were currently battling it out with the frogman—turned stiff.
At this instant, all of them felt a staggering suppression!
The words 'extreme restlessness and discomfort' weren't enough to describe this feeling!
While in a trance, they felt like rats were crawling on their bodies. The squeaking sounds lingered on incessantly!
It was as if, in their minds, several giant rats were gnawing on their souls!
A filthy, twisted, and mad aura tainted their spirits. Xue Linglong and company felt as if they were facing the icy God of Death. The beating hearts in their chests violently shrank like they had been instantly grasped by an ice-cold palm!
A soul-freezing chill abruptly sprung up from the bottom of their feet and rushed straight to the top of their skull, turning their scalps numb!
Even the blood flowing around their bodies seemed close to being frozen; their movements momentarily became sluggish as well!
The frogman took this chance and continuously let out croaks. Its expression was full of tyranny and excitement.
The long, rusty spear in his hand was especially tricky and ruthless. It thrust outward repeatedly, seeking to seize the chance to reap the lives of these humans before him!
The situation instantly became exceedingly critical for Luo Xinghe and Xue Linglong—who were directly facing the frogman!
"Yuna," Link called out.
In the air, Yuna's six pure white wings fluttered gently. She nodded her white, jade-like, flawless face, understanding him at once.
A hint of repulsion flashed through her eyes. Lifting the staff in her hand up high, Yuna cried out delicately, "Light, dispel the evil before my eyes!"
Streams of splendid holy light ceaselessly rippled out from her body!
The inexplicable gray energy shrouding everyone was dispelled, and Xue Linglong and the others were enveloped by the holy light. Their cold bodies gradually recovered their warmth, and everyone let out a long exhale in their hearts.
At the same time, they directly perceived the formidableness of Stage Five monsters!
If Link wasn't around for the battle this time, they would probably be merely a bunch of nobodies that the Stage Five monster could casually crush!
It wouldn't even require the Stage Five monster to act. If they were to remain in the state that they had been in earlier, they would undergo mental breakdowns by themselves!
Link's countenance was still apathetic. Having lived two lifetimes as a human, his understanding of monsters was much deeper than that of Xue Linglong and the rest.
Stage Four monsters were called overlord-level monsters. This was because they already possessed the ability to lead a group of monsters under their command and massacre a city!
Between Stage Four and Stage Five was a massive divide! Once monsters broke through this boundary, they would become even more terrifying!
Stage Five monsters—above the overlords. Other than being able to command army-like masses of monsters, some of these monsters even touched domains. They were capable of constructing domains that solely belonged to them!
When engaging in battle with such a monster, one would be affected by its unique domain and aura. The battle difficulty could be considered to be raised several-fold!
This was the case for the Stage Five boss, Prophet of Death, that Link killed previously.
The existence of its domain made even the Stage Four monsters under its command fearful!
Fortunately, the Prophet of Death's silencing skill and death domain's effects were restrained by Link's [Body of Death] and his own distinctness. Otherwise, he would've taken a lot more effort to defeat her.
What the Voodoo Priest presently displayed was similar to domain skills!
Rats with scarlet-red eyes suddenly looked toward Link in unison!
Being watched by millions of mad gazes was not a good experience. It was enough to make one's hair stand on end.
After this, these rats charged toward Link swiftly and violently.
The tide of rats that extended to the horizon was like a surging black wave, swarming toward Link!
There wasn't the slightest hint of fear on the face of Link, who stepped out of the holy light screen. There was only iciness in those deep and dark eyes.
The [King's Sword] in his hand danced, and the [Spring and Autumn Sword Technique] was instantly executed!
Streams of sword energy washed out, and a fierce sword intent filled the world. Even the dark sky appeared like it was about to tear apart!
The sword energy was like a blade. Before the rats madly pouncing at Link even touched the edges of his clothes, they were sliced into chopped meat.
Meanwhile, Link's robes remained as white as snow, his presence peerless as he swept forward.
Behind him were layers upon layers of filthy rat corpses!
The Voodoo Priest watched Link, who continued to press closer. There wasn't any change in his countenance at all; there was only mockery reflected in his eyes!
To him, Link was indeed extraordinary. After all, LInk had the ability to kill Stage Four monsters within seconds. But he'd ultimately yet to step into Stage Four!
Under his level's great suppression, Link was merely a slightly bigger ant!
Once the Voodoo Priest's staff shook, the swarming rats actually began piling up before Link.
One rat climbed on top of another rat. They would bite one another's bodies, swiftly stacking up into an extremely thick and heavy rat wall.
Moreover, the thickness continued to grow like a building that ceaselessly piled up horizontally and blocked the way before Link!
At the same time, Yuna cast [Holy Light Purification]!
Streaks of golden holy light energy fell from the air like meteors and landed on the rat wall harshly.
With the holy flame's burning and the strangling of Link's sword energy, the rat wall was constantly torn apart and ruptured!
Filthy blood—as well as broken limbs and chopped rat flesh—continuously splashed down from midair!
Link was like a sharp, unbreakable sword—even this rat wall could not stop his advance!
Very soon, the rat wall collapsed.
Link stepped forward with long strides! However, what appeared before him wasn't the Voodoo Priest draped in a torn cloak but a large bloody mouth!
This was the mouth of a rat with a hill-like colossal body. Its face was warped! When its enormous mouth opened, it was like a small square. Inside the mouth was stacked and staggeringly long teeth!
A terrifying stench diffused right toward Link's face. There were even many rats moving through the staggering fangs.
Deep in the enormous rat's throat, a massive head stuck out—it was a hideous pig's head.
It was the head of the Fallen Pigman that had been killed by Link! The head was much bigger than before. When the head's large mouth opened, it was the size of a parlor.
Deep in the pigman head's throat was another head. It was the head of the Fallen Ratman.
Each of these repulsive heads enveloped the next like Matryoshka dolls. They were utterly strange and set off a chill in one's heart!
They were so strange that all the heads were still wailing and calling out.
"Join us!"
"Quick, join us! Let us become one!"
The massive mouth swiftly shut, and darkness approached Link, wanting to keep him here completely!

Chapter 100: Death Judgment! Dungeon Cleared!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Link's figure flickered, and the [Instant Teleport] skill—which had come off cooldown—was launched again!
Link avoided the ferocious pig head's bite and left the nightmare-like place before the huge rat's mouth closed.
The huge mouth closed without swallowing Link, so it opened again!
Strange voices sounded.
"What a pity! Why do you not want to join us?"
"Come quick! Join us; you will get unimaginable strength and might!"
"Don't resist. The abyss and chaos will embrace everything..."
These calls were full of madness and chaos, which could pollute people's spirit!
At this moment, the passive skill—[Fearless]—of Link's [Fearless Pathfinder] title took effect.
Immune to most mental attacks and never fall into madness, chaos, or despair!
Link was still extremely calm, and his eyes were cold! He looked at the top of the head of the giant rat that looked like a hill, where a figure stood!
It was the Voodoo Priest! But at this moment, the Voodoo Priest didn't seem to be in a normal state. His lower body seemed to have melted and sunk into the giant rat's head. Only his upper body was exposed. His staff was raised high, and his face was full of twisted smiles!
"Humble ant, now that you have seen the true body of God's envoy, hurry up and kneel down. Offer your soul!"
Link didn't even bother to respond. It was obvious that even the soul of this Voodoo Priest was extremely distorted. It should be the result of sacrificing it to a certain abyssal existence!
Holding the [King's Sword, Link stepped on the fangs exposed from the rat's mouth and kept leaping high, sending himself toward the Voodoo Priest on the rat's head!
On the Voodoo Priest's bone staff, streams of gray energy turned into balls of light, which smashed at Link continuously!
The huge rat's mouth kept opening and closing as it tried to bite Link and prevent him from climbing.
But Link had the godly displacement artifact, the [Ring of Teleportation].
After the skill came off cooldown—a short few seconds—Link executed the next displacement again.
His figure flickered this time. When he appeared again, he was already on top of the giant rat, only a few meters away from the Voodoo Priest!
The two stood facing each other!
Unexpectedly, not only did the Voodoo Priest not panic at all, but his face was full of weird smiles at this moment! "You are here!"
Link also found out that something was amiss in an instant—this was a trap!
After stepping on the rat's head, he found that this place was not a physical entity, but rather like a bog. Once he stepped onto the head, his body would continue to sink.
Like the Voodoo Priest, Link was sinking into this giant rat's body!
Link was about to withdraw immediately, but eerie palms stretched out from the rat's black fur, which pulled him down continuously!
The Voodoo Priest smiled and said, "It's useless! Be assimilated by me obediently and become a part of my body!"
Along with the laughter, a dark glow appeared in the Voodoo Priest's eyes, looking extremely terrifying!
Link's eyelids became extremely heavy—as if they weighed 1,000 catties—and were slowly closing irreversibly.
This was a kind of mental attack. Link did not resist after he realized this. Instead, he felt slightly amused in his heart!
At the same time, a scarlet-eyed rat appeared deep in Link's heart, about to gnaw his soul and brain!
At this moment, a golden light suddenly lit up from Link's body! His whole body was lit up immaculately, like the bright radiant sun.
It was the passive skill, [Fearless]! It granted immunity to the Voodoo Priest's direct soul attacks!
The rat that appeared deep in Link's mind was instantly annihilated by the golden light and turned into nothingness!
Link abruptly opened his eyes, and thousands of stars seemed to be gleaming deep in his eyes!
The Voodoo Priest instantly let out a tragic scream! The terrifying aura rippling all over his body weakened a bit, his face was full of shock and disbelief! "How can this be? You are just a Stage Three, Level 10 Evolver! How can you resist my spiritual pollution and devouring!"
Before the Voodoo Priest's horrified words were finished, Link had already moved.
The biting cold sword energy swept through, tearing apart the palms that grabbed him!
Link directly activated [Holy Charge]!
With [Holy Charge]'s uninterruptible and invincibility effects, Link crossed the bog and approached the Voodoo Priest!
The [King's Sword] burst out with brilliant light, and a golden sword light was slashed out, looking extremely magnificent!
The sword energy hit. Even though the Voodoo Priest was a Stage Five monster, it was silenced and became dizzy.
Link did not hesitate to cut down with the sword again!
A dark flame suddenly wafted from the [King's Sword, looking as if it could swallow the light! What's more, Link's whole body was filled with the power of death, and a humanoid shadow seemed to flash behind him!
It was a figure shrouded in a black robe, holding a giant scythe that shone with a cold light in its hand!
Endless darkness and death surrounded the figure. The figure seemed to be looking down from the heavens—it was death itself!
The Voodoo Priest's eyes looked at Link in horror! At this moment, the Voodoo Priest was stunned! How can a Stage Three human be favored by that existence?
[Death Judgment] activate!
Link's death attribute power increased by 10,000%! His attributes were enough to crush Stage Five beings, and he even had a 10% probability of causing instant death with this blow!
When the black sword energy slashed down, space seemed to distort. Under this sword, everything in the world seemed to lose its color, turning into dead black and white!
Boom!
The instant death effect was triggered!
The Voodoo Priest was annihilated by the sword energy; his body turned into ashes and scattered!
That extremely huge rat turned into ashes along with the Voodoo Priest, and the endless squeaks finally disappeared completely!
The world fell silent.
This scene was also seen by the frogman, Xue Linglong, and the others—who were fighting in the distance.
The frogman's movements momentarily stopped, and its convex frog eyes were full of fear! This was the first time the frogman showed fear since the battle started!
The frogman was really frightened of the God of Death's aura that exuded from Link!
The frogman opened his mouth and spit out a green poisonous mist, about to flee. However, Xue Linglong and others naturally wouldn't let him go.
They were all inspired by Link's unparalleled might that was used to kill the Stage Five monster. The more they fought, the more courageous they became—their morale was extremely high!
With a tragic cry, the frogman's body was soon crushed by Xue Linglong, Qiao Ruowei, and the others together!
So far, all six enemies had been killed!
Xue Linglong and the others stood in place and panted heavily.
It had been a high-intensity battle. If it weren't for Yang Xuerou's continuous application of buffs, they definitely wouldn't be able to persist.
It should be known that they has also kill two Stage Four overlord-level monsters, even though they didn't have a battle record as astonishing as that of Link.
Their potential was evident!
Link walked back slowly, satisfied with their performance.
At the same time, a system notification sounded.
[Congratulations to all of you for clearing Killing Purgatory in Hell mode. Rewards are being settled based on your performance...]
Finally, it's time for the rewards!
Qiao Ruowei and the others' eyes all shone; their hearts were full of excitement and expectation!
This dungeon wasn't simple. The creatures—which had fallen or distorted—had all kinds of weird abilities. Since they cleared the dungeon, the rewards naturally wouldn't be small!
Even Link was a little curious about what kind of rewards they would obtain after clearing Killing Purgatory at the highest difficulty...

Chapter 101: Huge Rewards! Entire Group Leveled Up!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
As the reward notification for clearing the dungeon sounded, the world before Link and the others had also changed dramatically.
They appeared in a huge arena, surrounded by a circle of seats that climbed upward. There were even a few extremely magnificent thrones in the void.
Even though there were no creatures seated on the thrones now, the lingering pressure that remained from endless years ago still caused their hearts to palpitate!
The pressure was like the sky's majesty, vast and mighty!
Under such pressure, any creature would seem to be small as dust.
It was hard to imagine what powerful creatures were seated there in the past! In other words, those were simply the seat of the gods!
Link was solemn in his heart. This Killing Purgatory is indeed the same as what the notification said when I entered. This is the arena of 10,000 races!
The reason why the God of Death created this place was most likely also for pleasure. It was a wonder what the scene here was like when the gods hadn't yet been affected by the great disaster and died endless years ago...
Link's heart trembled slightly, and he clenched his fists secretly. How terrifying was the disaster that even the gods could die to it?
Link desperately wanted to figure out the truth; he also wanted to become even more powerful! Only by doing this could he truly control his own destiny and reach the peak!
Just when Link fell into deep thought because of the sight in front of him, the notifications also rang in his ears.
"Ding! Congratulations on clearing Hell-level difficulty. Your performance evaluation is rated SSS!"
"Ding! Obtained experience reward: 800,000 points!"
"Reward for clearance: [Lost Mask]."
"Reward for clearance: 20,000 trial points."
At the same time, everyone else also received rewards for clearing the dungeon. Although nobody else got SSS-rating, their rewards were also extremely rich!
After all, the difficulty of this dungeon at Hell-level was truly terrifying!
A golden light rippled from Link's body, and his aura strengthened rapidly!
[Ding! Congratulations on successfully leveling up to Stage Four, Level 1!]
[Ding! Congratulations on successfully leveling up to Stage Four, Level 2!]
[Ding! Congratulations on successfully leveling up to Stage Four, Level 3!]
The huge amount of EXP directly pushed Link from Stage Three, Level 10 to Stage Four, Level 3. This allowed him to reach the ranks of the highest leveled humans!
However, Link possessed Taboo-grade professions. Thus, his attributes far exceeded ordinary people in the first place!
At Stage Three, he could already kill Stage Five monsters!
After advancing from Stage Three to Stage Four, the stage advancement had caused Link's attributes to increase by a large margin. Even if he faced terrifying Stage Six monsters now, Link was powerful enough to fight against them too!
As Link leveled up, the three summoned beasts that originated from him also gained massive amounts of EXP!
[Ding! Congratulations on your summoned creature—Holy Angel—successfully leveling up to Stage Four, Level 3!]
[Ding! Congratulations on your summoned creature—God Devourer Ant—successfully leveling up to Stage Four, Level 3!]
[Ding! Congratulations on your summoned creature—Chimera—successfully leveling up to Stage Four, Level 3!]
It wasn't just Link's aura that had become more terrifying and more profound.
Yang Xuerou, Luo Xingyao, Xue Linglong, and the others also radiated light all over. Their auras also became more intense too!
With the exception of Yang Xuerou, everyone advanced past Stage Three and entered the ranks of the most powerful humans at present—Stage Four!
This was also because Luo Xingyao and others frequently entered the solo dungeon, Sin Realm, to train themselves.
Since Link possessed the City of the Undead's dungeons, his people's leveling speed was much higher than those from other factions.
This was the importance of resources in the apocalypse!
It was worth mentioning that Yang Xuerou received an S-rating for clearing the dungeon as a support Priest, which was second only to Link.
But the others weren't surprised. If it weren't for Yang Xuerou, Xue Linglong and the others would've been unable to complete such a continuous, high-intensity battle.
The true role of a Priest could only be reflected in team battles. After all, not everyone could be like Link.
Link alone was an entire team!
Smiles appeared on Yang Xuerou and the others' faces. They were all very satisfied with this dungeon's rewards.
At the same time, the outside world wasn't peaceful either.
A loud explosive sound reverberated.
The entire City of the Undead was shaking slightly! The quiet and peaceful Undead Town also shook!
Lights of various colors intertwined in the sky, concealing the sun and looking extremely extraordinary!
Fatty Lu Da—who was in charge of keeping watch over the city—noticed this phenomenon and hurried to the City of the Undead to inquire about the situation.
"What's the matter? Brother Link and the others are still in the dungeon! The City of the Undead mustn't have any problems now!"
There was a smile on Saiya's face. She stroked her sideburns, smiled, and said, "It's okay. This happened because Master cleared Killing Purgatory's highest difficulty. Hence, a phenomenon has appeared here."
"In this case, this is a good thing!"
"Haha, I knew that Brother Link is awesome! Clearing the most difficult dungeon isn't of any difficulty to him!" Lu Da smiled, feeling proud of Link's achievement too.
Very soon, Link and the others' figures appeared outside the City of the Undead.
Seeing Lu Da present, Link asked, "How is the situation in the city?"
The monster siege was approaching, so people's hearts would inevitably feel insecure.
At this time, some of the seeds planted by various factions might make small moves and cause riots.
Having lived two lifetimes—especially in this life where he had come into contact with various factions—Link increasingly felt that the reason Dragon City was destroyed in his previous life wasn't solely because of the monster siege!
Not only was the Undead army terrifying, but some factions in Dragon City were probably causing chaos from the backend too. For example, the Blood Fiend Gang and the Black Dragon Gang...
Lu Da shook his head slightly and said, "Brother Link, everyone in the city is actively preparing for the battle according to your instructions. No problems have arisen. But during the time you were inside the dungeon, someone came to look for you."
"He said that he is of Dragon City's commoner Evolvers, and they have formed a legion alliance together. They hoped to form an alliance with us to resist the monster siege together!"
"Oh." Link's memories of his previous life popped into his mind, and he asked, "What is the name of that legion?"
"The name is No Retreat Army. It means that they will not retreat half a step and will defend their home to the death!" Lu Da replied.
Link nodded slightly. As he expected, it was indeed the No Retreat Army he remembered from his previous life.
In his previous life, he had received No Retreat Army's help and defended against the monster siege together.
It was just that things didn't go as they had hoped. In the end, the strong humans in No Retreat Army were killed by the monsters, and the monsters still bathed Dragon City in blood. Corpses were everywhere, and the survivors escaped into the wilderness...
No Retreat Army had also become the dust of history.
But the few strong humans in the No Retreat Army truly lived up to the name of not retreating and fought to their deaths.
If there was a chance, Link was willing to give a helping hand to this legend—which had an extremely strong backbone—even though he was very cold to other humans.
Link's memories stirred his emotions, and his eyes became deeper. He then asked, "How much longer?"
Lu Da's expression became solemn too. He knew what Link was asking about—it could only be the remaining time before the monster siege arrived!
"The version update has started, and it is now counting down. There are still ten hours."
Link nodded and instructed Xue Linglong and the others behind him, "All of you, go back and get some rest. Recharge your batteries and prepare for the siege that's coming in ten hours!"
"Yes, Lord!" Xue Linglong and the others responded with resolute expressions.

Chapter 102: The Scourge! Siege Begins!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
[Countdown to the Scourge Siege: 4 hours, 53 minutes, 34 seconds.]
After meditating in the room for a few hours, Link completely regained his energy and returned to his peak state. Then, he abruptly opened his eyes.
A cold light flashed in those profound eyes as if a sword shadow was floating within.
Link could already faintly feel the world's energy fluctuations becoming chaotic. This was the portent of the siege war's start!
A blood-colored world appeared in front of Link—it was the Dragon City of his previous life.
In this life, Link would not let such a scene appear again!
Link walked out of the room and climbed up the tall and dark city gate tower.
The world was dark, and a faint roar of thunder sounded in the distance... This was the sound of the expanding space cracks.
The space cracks would be completely penetrated after four hours, and the Scourge would descend!
The Scourge was a nightmare that would sweep through the world!
Link was silent, and his eyes were extremely cold. His white robe fluttered loudly in the wind that suddenly became swift!
Like a banner.
Under the city.
Unfallen City's countless citizens raised their heads in silence, looking at Link's upright and determined back view.
His figure was like a long spear pointing directly at the sky, suddenly causing hope to rise in their hearts and blood to boil in their bodies!
They would be following behind this young man to confront the monsters that would come and attack the city. They were not afraid, even though they might die!
As the countdown to the siege decreased little by little.
The atmosphere in the entire world was also becoming more and more depressing. It pressed heavily on people's chests, almost suffocating them.
On Blue Star, Unfallen City wasn't only the city that existed. In fact, beginning on the fifth day of the apocalyptic world, Evolvers had begun building cities one after another.
Some were camps for survivors that were built based on original buildings, and some were also real cities recognized by heaven and earth after using a [City Building Token].
Former Mingxi City, now Bright Sun City.
In the majestic city hall.
A majestic man sat high on the city lord's throne. His facial features were hard-lined like they were carved with a knife. Even though he wasn't angry, he still gave off a mighty and oppressive pressure.
He was Ou Mingcheng, the Temple of Light's Lord.
He looked at the Temple of Light Elders' firm expressions and spoke indifferently. "The apocalypse descends, everything restarts, and the wheel of fate turns again. There are people who are born to be kings, and some who occupy land as bandits. We only hope that the Light will be eternal."
The Temple of Light Elders all bowed their heads, silently carrying out the rituals belonging to the Temple of Light.
"May the Light be eternal; may the Gods protect us!"
Everyone chanted in unison. At this moment, even Ou Chen—who frequently behaved improperly—was also extremely solemn.
He has gone through the second baptism, and his current aura had even reached Stage Four!
Bai Yujing—this was a city built by Taoist powerhouses.
On the towering walls.
An old man with a white beard sat cross-legged with a young man. Both of them wore dark-blue robes, had an ethereal presence, and profound eyes. The auras exuding from them were also extremely extraordinary!
The old man looked at the depressed world outside the city and smiled freely. "It is said that Taoist priests in troubled times would come down from the mountains to save the world. But my understanding of the Daoism arts is unfortunately very shallow. In the end, I am unable to save the world."
"Oh well, I shall at least keep this city safe then."
The young man's eyes were firm. "The Immeasurable Tianzun1."
Pure Land.
An old monk—who wore a red robe and held a meditation staff—silently recited scriptures on the top of the city wall. As he chanted, golden Sanskrit characters seemed to light up around the city and float up.
As the golden Sanskrit characters flashed, the city faintly glowed with a golden halo, making it appear more sturdy.
Next to the old monk was a young monk in white clothes with his hands clasped together. The young monk was staring at the growing cracks in the distance.
He frowned slightly and spoke with a low voice. "Buddhism doesn't only have benevolent Bodhisattvas but also fierce guardians with the means of eliminating demons!"
The countless survivors on Blue Star were all waiting for the last moment's arrival with nervous, depressed, or perturbed feelings.
Whether humans would be able to defend their homeland, or if the Scourge swept through the world, the result would be seen a few hours later!
At the same time, Dragon City.
Black Dragon Gang residence.
Black Dragon, the leader of the gang—who was enveloped in a black robe and had an evil aura—stood beside Doctor Ghost.
With an inexplicable smile hidden in their eyes, the two of them condescendingly looked down at the city from a high spot.
"Everything is ready. I hope that the Supreme Lord will like the gifts we offer to him." Black Dragon's head tilted slightly, and his words were filled with madness.
Doctor Ghost raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "The boy named Link spoke wildly about how he would destroy our Black Dragon Gang."
"That's ridiculous. Not only does my Black Dragon Gang want to take his life today, but it also wants to take away everything that belongs to him!"
Blood Fiend Gang's residence!
A strong bloody atmosphere permeated, and a huge blood pool sat within it. Limb stumps and pieces of flesh were all over the floor.
This place was like purgatory on earth—extremely terrifying.
Bloodseeker wore a scarlet cloak and looked in the direction of Unfallen City with a cold and sinister look. "Link, I heard that you built a city. You named it Unfallen City? Hehe, as opposed to your wishes, I am going to destroy your city. I'm then going to crush you into powder!"
Footsteps were heard.
A Blood Fiend Gang member walked in and said respectfully: "Sir, the Blood Fiend Gang members have all gathered and are ready to heed your command."
Bloodseeker nodded. He took out a bloody dagger—which rippled with an ominous aura—from his shirt and slowly clenched it tightly. "Very good! Get ready to start; it's a carnival today!"
His eyes were bloodthirsty as if he had already foreseen someone's death!
Unfallen City.
Xue Linglong, Yang Xuerou, and the others all walked out of their rooms, climbed to the top of the city, and stood behind Link.
Below the city walls were citizens all ready for war.
Time passed by every minute.
The void cracks that appeared above the sky tore apart more and more, looking like huge black mouths that were about to swallow the world!
A presence that caused people's hearts to palpitate seeped out from the dark cracks, full of darkness and death!
They could even faintly hear the Undead's roar and the excited roars of monsters on the other side of the void cracks!
Finally, the final moment had arrived.
[Countdown to the Scourge Siege: 0 hours, 0 minutes, 10 seconds.]
"9... 8..."
Everyone was counting in their hearts!
The sky suddenly became darker, and a certain barrier was broken!
A thick wave of death power swept through the world!
Undead creatures emerged from the cracks in the void like rivers and oceans!
Countless bone claws stepped on this piece of land that originally didn't belong to them!
Soul fire blossoms lit up in the Undead creatures' deep eye sockets as they watched the world in front of them mockingly!
"Hiss!"
The Undead warhorses hissed and started to gallop!
Stage Three and Stage Four monsters roared loudly.
"This world's aborigines are really weak! Shred them apart!"
"Destroy everything!"
An ocean-like army of Undead swept toward Unfallen City; there were even Stage Five existences amongst them!
Link raised his longsword indifferently.
Behind him, Xue Linglong and the others—as well as all the city residents—also raised their weapons in unison!
The humans' sonorous shouts and the monsters' roars blasted in the world together!
"Unfallen City shall never fall!"

Chapter 103: Thunder Domain, Might of the Domain Displayed!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The tenth day of the doomsday, 12 a.m.
The world was dark and gloomy, the atmosphere was extremely suppressed, and a huge black cloth seemed to shroud the sky!
But tiny green flames were faintly visible in this disturbing darkness, connecting into one large piece like a vast ocean.
These green flames were soul fires throbbing in the Undead creatures' deep eye sockets!
Further away, the sky seemed to have many holes in it. Green beams of light poured out, and a large number of Undead creatures continued to swarm out.
Among them were numerous terrifying auras and blazing green flames. Those were high-stage Undead creatures.
A terrifying presence swept through! The noisy footsteps and the Undead's roar resounded through the humans' eardrums, shaking their hearts!
Faced with the Undead tide's terrifying offensive, some people swallowed their saliva hard, and fear showed on their faces. Some even turned pale, and their hands were trembling slightly!
However, none of the people in Unfallen City took a step back!
Fear of monsters and fear of danger were human nature. It was a creature's instinct to seek benefits and avoid danger. But behind them was their homeland; there was nowhere else to retreat to—there was no place to escape!
Their belief was to seek for life by facing and never retreating in the face of danger.
It was the faith that man instilled in them!
At this moment, the gazes of countless people intersected at one point.
There.
Link's white robe waved in the wind. His black hair danced, and his body was like a spear pointed directly at the sky, filled with sharpness and coldness!
While staring at the incoming horde of monsters, Link took out something from his backpack space without any hesitation—it was a crystal clear crystal ball!
The crystal ball shone with silver electric light, and inside it was a blue-violet thunder dragon circling constantly!
Once it appeared, winds and clouds instantly gathered in the sky above Unfallen City. A vaguely mighty pressure seemed to seep through from the clouds!
This was heaven's vast might itself; it was the heavenly lightning's fury!
The crystal ball was the Legend-grade, domain-type secret treasure obtained by Link—[Bead of Thunder Punishment]!
The holder could release a legendary forbidden curse, [Forged?Heaven's Wrath Thunder Punishment]!
The most important thing was that this secret treasure could construct a domain—[Territory of Thunder]!
Hostile units that entered the domain would have their movement speed reduced by 40% and their defense reduced by 30%. They also had a probability of being struck by lightning, triggering paralyzing and silencing effects!
It was most suitable to be used on the Undead army at this moment!
The crystal ball floated up from Link's hand, gradually soaring up high. It then flew into the space corresponding to the City Master's Hall.
After that, flashes of lightning continuously emerged from the clouds like runes lighting up and connecting to each other.
In the end, the flashing bolts of lightning formed a huge symbol that covered the entire Unfallen City and a 1,000-meter radius!
As if a huge formation was activated, lightning enveloped the world!
Everyone couldn't help but look up. Their eyes reflected the lightning, their faces full of shock!
The thunder roared, and the lightning flickered, illuminating the sky. It was full of majesty and vastness!
The mighty and heavenly majesty swept through the area, almost making people tremble. Intent to worship also appeared in their hearts!
This was the heavens' majesty; this was the [Territory of Thunder]!
In an instant, the domain shrouded the area!
Bolts of lightning descended one after another like lightning snakes dancing wildly, striking at the area around Unfallen City.
Even on the ground thousands of meters outside Unfallen City, flashes of lightning could also be seen faintly flickering.
The Undead creature at the forefront of the Undead legion stepped into this area, and an electric current flashed through its body. Its movements became extremely rigid, having been affected by the domain!
What's more, silver lightning snakes were continuously falling. They were like the traces of an axe that split apart the world—it was extremely dazzling!
Undead creatures directly died in the blazing lightning one after the other!
This scene entered the eyes of everyone in Unfallen City, and it brought them great encouragement and shock!
The lightning suddenly seemed to spur them, and the blood in their bodies surged!
Surprised shouts and cheers kept sounding.
"This is the power of domains! The City Master actually has a domain-type secret treasure!"
"With this kind of treasure, the Undead army is nothing to be afraid of!"
"The City Master is mighty!"
"Unfallen City shall never fall!"
Lightning flickered in the sky above Unfallen City, its presence magnificent.
In the distance, a group of people in the broken city's shadow frowned upon seeing such a scene.
His eyes full of killing intent, Bloodseeker gritted his teeth and whispered, "He actually has a domain-type secret treasure! This Link is really lucky!"
It should be noted that such a secret treasure was extremely rare! A treasure had to be higher than Epic-grade in order to have the domain effect!
At this stage, not to mention Epic-grade equipment, even Diamond-grade equipment was extremely rare.
Only the various factions' elite teams could possess Gold-grade equipment and stronger.
Most [Doomsday Online] players could be considered quite fortunate to have a piece of Silver-grade equipment in their hands.
Not to mention this domain-type secret treasure! This treasure was enough to make the major factions fight over it!
Even Bloodseeker—who had pledged his loyalty to a certain existence from the abyss—was also tempted and sought to obtain it!
"But relying on the domain alone isn't enough to resist high-level Undead! I shall see how many tactics and tricks you have. When both you and the Undead army are wounded and tired from the fighting, my Blood Fiend Gang will come out and reap the benefits! By then, all the treasures you have shall become mine!"
Bloodseeker sneered. After sticking out his palm, a scarlet light emerged.
Bloodseeker directly crushed a skeleton that broke into this place into powder.
The rear of the Undead army.
Several hideous and terrifying bone beasts were slowly moving forward. Every time their giant claws landed, the ground around them would tremble!
These bone beasts were extraordinarily huge, and they seem to be transformed from the corpses of the legendary Behemoths. They were like walking bone mountains!
The aura that exuded from them had even reached the terrifying Stage Four!
Even the surrounding Undead creatures stayed a certain distance from these bone beasts, seemingly afraid of the bone beasts. However, many Undead creatures were still trampled into powder by the behemoths!
Dark chains stretched out behind a few behemoths, pulling a huge chariot.
On the chariot fluttered a broken military flag, which exuded a strong ominous presence!
A man—who wore black armor and held a huge sword that emitted a faint green flame—sat on the throne with his legs straddled.
His appearance looked the same as a human, but his faint-green eyes were very evil-looking. It was as if a sea of ??death laid within those eyes! Countless souls were drowning, struggling, and wailing in it!
By his side, a Prophet of Death looked at the lightning flashing in the distance and spoke in a low voice. "General, the opponent has a domain-type secret treasure. Our vanguard army may be slightly obstructed there."
The man with a terrifying aura only raised the corners of his mouth slightly, bringing out an evil smile. "It's okay; let one of my pets out. Let it cooperate with the army and crush the opponent!"
"Yes." With a wave of the Prophet of Death's palm, some of the chains instantly dropped to the ground.
An [Evil Bone Beast]—which had a body as large as a small hill—immediately let out a sky-shaking roar. It then charged in the direction of Unfallen City!
On the way, countless howling Undead were directly crushed by this behemoth! Even a few Undead Knights became food for the behemoth!

Chapter 104: Evil Bone Beast! The Might of God Devourer Ant!
Along with the thunder domain's effect, people in Unfallen City no longer relied on the city for defense.
With Luo Xinghe, Xue Linglong, and other Stage Four warriors leading the way, some [Doomsday Online] players with melee combat professions left the city to kill monsters and grind EXP!
The thunder domain caused the Undead creatures' movements to become slow and stiff.
The difficulty of killing monsters also decreased drastically!
Various weapon shadows and combat auras shone in the city.
Defeated, skeletons and Undead Knights fell, one by one. The Undead flames in their eyes were extinguished as they aided in the [Doomsday Online] players' leveling in the form of EXP.
Led by Luo Xingyao and Yang Xuerou, Priests, Mages, Archers, and other players skilled in long-ranged attacks stood at the battlement.
Along with the moving of staves, various elements converged, bowstrings trembled, and the sound of shooting arrows merged with the sound of chanting!
A constant shower of arrows and magical light rays appeared on the battlefield, annihilating the monsters around the city!
Yang Xuerou and the other Priests placed buffs on their companions and rescued the injured.
The situation gradually stabilized. Several low-leveled Evolvers' bodies even shone with the light of level-ups.
Their confidence was boosted, and their fear of the Scourge gradually diminished.
But Link—who was positioned at the city wall's battlement—still looked solemn. He was clear that the scariest thing in the Undead calamity wasn't ordinary skeletons or Undead Knights.
A powerful existence remained to be seen...
A series of shocking cries could soon be heard!
"What's that?"
"It is as huge as a small mountain! Could this monster be a Behemoth in its past life?"
"It's actually a Stage Four monster that only the most powerful humans can fight against!"
They saw a huge bone beast rushing toward the city with monstrous power!
Before it arrived, the people in Unfallen City could feel the tremors beneath their feet! The aura emanating from the beast sent a chill up from the people's feet!
Link narrowed his deep eyes slightly. "Finally sending out the elite?"
The giant beast was like a small mountain-sized cannonball—unstoppable. All the Undead monsters in the beast's path were crushed into powder!
Such might made one's scalp numb!
If it had collided with a person, it would be enough to crush all the [Doomsday Online] players into minced meat!
In everyone's horrified eyes, the giant beast had already entered the thunder domain's range.
Thunder snakes fell on this giant beast's body, but they could do nothing to this massive bone monster!
Several people were wide-eyed, wearing looks of shock.
The Dark Magi laughed coldly. "Humans, wail! What a beautiful sound that is!"
"The General's pet will crush you into mush!"
Xue Linglong's pretty face was cold. She wielded her spear and killed the two Undead Knights in front of her. She then took a big step forward, wanting to fend off the giant beast.
Luo Xinghe—who was holding a longsword—frowned and ran in the direction of the Evil Bone Beast.
At the same time, several Stage Three warriors followed behind the duo and stood in the Evil Bone Beast's path. But they still seemed too small compared to the mountain-like Evil Bone Beast, even a little pathetic!
"Courting death! You actually dare to stand in the path of the General's pet!"
"Ridiculous! Crush them!" The Undead monsters laughed mockingly.
The soul fire in the eyes of the Evil Bone Beast—which charged toward the city—pulsed with contempt and disdain!
"Roar!" A terrifying roar sounded.
The immense soundwave ripped apart several low-leveled [Doomsday Online] players' eardrums, and scarlet blood flowed from their ears.
Pitch-black flames surrounded the Evil Bone Beast, and its power became more and more appalling!
It would trample the humans in front of it and turn them into mush!
Xue Linglong, Luo Xinghe, and the others turned pale. But they clenched their jaws and held their weapons tight, ready to fight this giant beast!
Right at this moment, a black light flashed across.
A bug half the height of a human appeared in front of the Evil Bone Beast. A black-colored carapace covered its body. The surface of its body was also full of complex and mysterious blue-purple lines, appearing as if they contained some sort of truth.
A pair of black and golden wings as thin as a cicada but full of coldness moved slightly behind it.
It was Link's God Devourer Ant!
With the God Devourer Ant's appearance, an aura of barbarism—which seemed to come from the ancient creature—immediately swept out fiercely!
The army of Undead monsters was stunned at first; they then burst out into laughter.
"It's just a little bug. It's courting death too?"
"Ridiculous! A mantis trying to stop a chariot!"
However, they were soon unable to laugh.
The soul fire in their eyes quivered, revealing shock and horror!
They saw.
The Evil Bone Beast—which was like a mountain of bones—raised its huge paw and stomped down on the God Devourer Ant!
However, not only did the huge paw not crush the God Devourer Ant, but it even hung in mid-air!
One should understand that the Evil Bone Beast's foot was enough to shake the ground and turn a Stage Three warrior into mush. But in front of the God Devourer Ant, it couldn't even move an inch!
The air seemed to freeze, and everyone could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.
A black light then flashed, and the half-a-human-tall God Devourer Ant overturned the enormous Evil Bone Beast!
Boom!
The Evil Bone Beast fell heavily on the ground. Smoke and dust filled the air, and the ground cracked!
The army of Undead monsters was dumbfounded. How could a bug be so strong?
This was simply beyond their imagination!
God Devourer Ants were a wild, primordial species known for their invincible power. At their peak, God Devourer Ants could devour all gods and monsters and tear the sky apart.
Along with Link reaching Stage Four, God Devourer Ant also attained the strength that came with the level-ups. It became even more terrifying!
A mere Stage Four Evil Bone Beast was no match for it!
"Die!" The Evil Bone Beast quickly got up and let out a hoarse shriek.
It was enraged by the God Devourer Ant and became extremely hostile!
Immense power of death converged in the Evil Bone Beast's mouth, ready to be spat at the God Devourer Ant!
But the God Devourer Ant did not seem afraid. Its black and golden wings flapped, and it turned into a black stream of light, slamming into the Evil Bone Beast!
Boom!
A loud bang sounded!
Everyone only saw the Evil Bone Beast's huge head exploding!
The Evil Bone Beast's enormous body crumbled. The broken bones scattered, and the power of death dissipated as well!
Extremely violent and brutal attacks—this was a God Devourer Ant that sought ultimate power!
In an instant, the horde of Undead swarming toward the city froze momentarily!
Each of their soul fires trembled non-stop, conveying shock and awe!
"How is this possible!?"
"It's just a little bug, yet it actually won against the General's pet!?"
The Undead cried out in shock, but the God Devourer Ant didn't stop attacking at all. It transformed into a dark light and charged toward the Undead Tide!
The Undead monsters were crushed by a horrifying power, their soul fires annihilated!
Mournful wails and panicked cries rang out in the army of Undead!

Chapter 105: Undead Archers! Necromancer Corps!
Following the unstoppable Evil Bone Beast's defeat, the Undead army's elites could no longer stay calm.
At the back of the army, the expression of the man sitting atop the huge carriage remained unchanged. However, his dark-green eyes flickered with coldness! "You made me lose a pet. It seems these ants can be quite interesting!"
The Prophet of Death beside him trembled slightly. "General, calm your anger. They will soon pay back with their lives!"
The sound of wind gushing could be heard on the battlefield.
Arrows—shining with faint-green light—converged into a shower of arrows in the sky, falling in the direction of Unfallen City!
When those arrows hit the ground, they exploded, causing collateral damage. Plague and death aura unfurled!
Several [Doomsday Online] players were scratched by arrow shards, and the aura of the plague immediately lingered around them.
Their wounds became infected at speeds visible to the naked eye, revealing pus and even the white bones inside!
"What is that!" exclaimed someone.
Everyone looked at the Undead monsters—which held bone bows and wore leather armor—that appeared at the thunder domain's border.
A series of notifications sounded in everyone's mind.
[Undead Archers]
Race: Scourge
Profession: Archer
Level: Stage Four, Level 2
Introduction: The elites of the Scourge. Every arrow they shoot contains plague and death. Shooting arrows like the rain, they bring death and despair to living creatures.
At the same time, obscure and strange singing sounds could be heard.
Beams of green light converged, death aura emerged, and Necromancers appeared, brandishing their staffs!
The Necromancers summoned powerful spirits, and a ball of light composed of black magic blasted toward everyone like a cannonball!
Horrifying power of death lingered around the battlefield. The dense death aura swept over as if it were determined to transform the whole area into a kingdom of Undead!
The [Doomsday Online] players' faces were filled with horror.
One had to know that it wasn't just one Undead Archer or one Necromancer, but dozens of them.
They came together and became the Undead Archer and Necromancer Corps, constantly releasing terrifying power of death into the crowd!
"They are Stage Four monsters, the elites of the Undead Army!"
"Their attack comes with plague and debilitating effects. Our status is dropping drastically!"
"Priest! Priest! Save me! My entire arm is becoming white bones!"
Exclamations rose unceasingly.
The Undead Archers and Necromancer Corps' existence was a nightmare. The battle became more and more difficult with their participation.
The struck [Doomsday Online] players' wounds rotted rapidly and even corroded into white bone. It was a horrifying experience to see parts of their bodies becoming white bones.
The Priests in Unfallen City rushed to cast healing spells, but it was no match for the wounds' rotting speed.
The power of plague within the wounds prevented them from recovering!
As the power of plague and the power of decay slowly spread in the air, everyone's status continued to drop!
At this moment, Holy Angel Yuna—who was standing behind Link—suddenly flew into the air. Her six white-feathered wings fluttered slightly, and she swung her staff!
"Holy Light Purification, dispel the evil before my eyes." Coldness flashed in Yuna's beautiful eyes. With a cry, the dense holy light suddenly spread like the sea!
Golden holy light rippled outward with her in the center.
Yuna was suspended in the air at this moment, holy and flawless as she emitted golden light like the bright sun. She exuded a holy aura, drawing the worship of others!
The plague aura—spreading from the city moat—was instantly cleansed by [Holy Light Purification] and was no longer able to spread.
Beams of holy light energy turned into balls of light and shot toward the Undead Archers and Necromancer Corps like meteorites!
Along with Yuna's long-ranged suppression, the pressure on the crowd of [Doomsday Online] players was instantly reduced.
At the battlement, Yang Xuerou frowned. She waved her pale wrist, and a brilliant light emitted from her staff!
The crowd of—uninjured and wounded—[Doomsday Online] players' eyes lit up. They felt a steady stream of warmth being injected into their bodies!
It was the skill that Yang Xuerou comprehended after she leveled up—[Holy Light · The Great Healing Aura]! It could heal and restore health to multiple players for one hour. It could also make them immune to poison, damage, decay, and other negative status effects during that time!
"This healing aura is not ordinary!"
"My injuries are healing!"
"Kill! Kill all these monsters who want to trample on our homes!"
The crowd was back in shape once again, and they began to fight the ocean of Undead monsters!
Link's summon, Star Moon, joined the battle as well. It took the form of a three-headed Chimera. Each head spewed energy of different attributes and destroyed the incoming Undead monsters!
Along with the chanting of 20-odd Necromancers, a terrifying aura rippled around the area!
Faint-green death aura swept over. The Undead creatures' broken bones pieced together and became an Undead monster several feet tall!
This Undead monster's body was as tall as a building, and the aura permeating its body had reached Stage Four, Level 10! Clad in bone armor made up of broken bones, it wielded a huge bone blade and viciously slashed down at Unfallen City with a fierce face!
Boom!
The terrifying howls of the wind tore through the air!
The huge bone sword was more than ten meters long. Before the sword blade fell, the crowd had already felt the terrifying, mountain-like oppressve sensation!
The Mages, Priests, and players with other professions skilled in long-ranged attacks on the battlement turned pale.
The Undead monsters were clearly plotting to kill the Priests and those skilled in long-range attacks at the battlement. They would then crush those skilled in melee attacks under the city with great force.
This wasn't only because those skilled in long-range attacks were vulnerable. Without Priests, Mages, etc., it would be hard for the players skilled in melee attacks to turn the situation around, no matter how hard they fought.
Link stood at the battlement, amused at this moment. His black hair flew in the wind.
Since the battle began, he had not done much other than send his three summoned beasts into battle. Firstly, he didn't care much about attacking the noobs. He was waiting for the Undead army's real powerhouses.
Secondly, he wanted to protect the people at the rear!
Link used the [King's Sword] to block the huge bone sword's attack! The [Spring and Autumn Sword Technique] was instantly launched!
The piercing sword intent immediately filled the world, and streams of sword energy swept out as if they would tear the sky!
In an instant, the great oppression suddenly dissolved into nothingness!
The golden sword aura was extremely bright. It collided fiercely with the bone sword with raging sword energy!

Chapter 106: Stitches! [Abomination]!
Both the bone sword and the [King's Sword] exploded with great power!
The terrifying roar resounded throughout the world, and a storm swept through it!
Everyone on the city battlement felt like they were going to be blown away.
In the end, the huge and menacing bone sword didn't fall. On the contrary, it was flung out of the hand that held it and crashed to the ground. It smashed cracks into the ground and sent sand splattering!
The soul fire of the Undead monster—which was as huge as a tall building—trembled violently in its eye sockets as if dazed and shocked!
How could the tiny humans in front of it block its blow?
All the Undead monsters below the city were stunned, their faces horrified!
The rotting faces of more than 20 Necromancers—who were working together to perform large-scale Undead magic—were filled with surprise!
That was an Undead monster that they summoned together. It was a Stage Four, Level 10 monster—almost as powerful as a Stage Five monster!
It would be hard for even a Stage Five human to withstand this huge Undead's heavy blow!
But the aura emanating from the human who had just made a move was obviously only Stage Four!
How did he do that?
The group of Undead creatures were so shocked by the power of Link's sword that they were frozen in place!
Link remained indifferent. When he came down from the sky, he stepped heavily on the city wall and used it to leverage strength to shoot out like an arrow!
The [King's Sword] in his hand burst into brilliant golden flames!
While the bone sword was out of the Undead's hand, a piercing light from the sword fell again!
Biting cold sword intent rushed skyward. Link was like a sword immortal that had come to the present from ancient times. The power of his sword was enough to terrify heaven and earth!
"Damn it!" The huge Undead suddenly came to its senses.
It roared angrily and maniacally. Its bone claws clenched tightly, and it threw a punch with a fist the size of a living room, sending out an aura of death!
Boom!
The golden sword aura instantly collided with the pale white bone fist, and a roar exploded once again!
But the fist that was strong enough to smash a Stage Four powerhouse into mush crumbled under the raging sword aura!
The powerful sword aura was like a golden phoenix, brilliant and dazzling. After shattering the Undead monster's bone claws, it still kept on going and ruthlessly crashed into the Undead monster's huge body!
"No!" Harsh wails rang out!
The huge Undead monster was torn apart by the sword aura! Its shattered bones smashed to the ground, making huge craters!
This terrifying Stage Four, Level 10 monster had been destroyed!
The crowd's eyes were filled with disbelief and shock! Some people even unconsciously stared in disbelief.
Their City Master, Link, had only swung his sword twice from the beginning to the end! He killed a monster which was almost Stage Five in a flash!
What kind of terrifying combat power was this? Even the current highest-ranked, Stage Four human powerhouse could not do something like that!
They only felt the blood gushing to their heads, and their scalps were numb for a moment!
After a short silence, the cheers suddenly rang out like thunder.
"The City Master is mighty!"
"City Master is invincible! He is the Sword Immortal reborn!"
"City Master is great and amazing!"
Link's attack had boosted the crowd of humans' morale greatly.
The army of Undead monsters, on the other hand, was filled with shock and awe. They looked at the sturdy figure that landed under the city walls with some trepidation!
"How can this be?"
"Such a strong powerhouse has appeared among the humans?"
The Undead monsters rasped, their voices full of terror.
Link remained expressionless and indifferent. He had been promoted to Stage Four, and his attributes had once again improved significantly.
Even a monster that was about to reach Stage Five was not a match for him!
Link cast his icy gaze at the Undead Archers and Necromancer Corps located at the Undead army's rear.
These Undead with long-range attacks were troublesome in this battle. They were also the ones that Link wanted to get rid of first.
He sent a thought to God Devourer Ant and Star Moon.
These two powerful summoned beasts—running rampant in the Undead army—immediately rushed toward the Undead Archers and the Necromancer Corps!
Very soon, the Undead started wailing.
Although the Undead Archers' arrows contain a terrible plague, they were relatively fragile physically.
In the face of God Devourer Ant—who pursued ultimate strength—they had no means of resisting at all!
God Devourer Ant's dark forelimbs danced, and the Undead Archers were shattered by terrifying power. Rancid pieces of meat splattered everywhere!
On the other side, Star Moon—who had morphed into a Chimera—was also displaying terrifying power!
It was the God of Divine Wrath's twin brother and symbolized destruction. As it continued to advance, it would grow stronger and stronger!
Star Moon rushed into the 20-odd Necromancers like a cannonball, interrupting their enigmatic chants.
Three ferocious heads raised high; the dragon mouths flared, spitting out terrifying energy!
Darkness faded. Blazing flames and green corrosive energy flared brilliantly here.
One by one, the Necromancers were swept up by the energy rays and killed!
At the same time, Link continued to hear system prompts in his head.
[Ding! You successfully killed a Stage Four Necromancer. Gained 100,000 EXP!]
[Ding! You successfully killed a Stage Four Undead Archer. Gained 100,000 EXP!]
The prompts were incessant, and Link temporarily ignored them all. He put all his attention on the battlefield.
Super God-grade God Devourer Ant and Star Moon slaughtered the Undead army's rear end. The massive attribute gap between them and the enemy made the two summoned beasts seem like tigers in a flock of sheep!
The Undead Archers and the Necromancer Corps were soon destroyed by the two.
Without these long-range units' threat, Xue Linglong and the others had an easier fight. They steadily pushed the Undead army backward!
The Undead monsters' wails continued. A soul fire was being annihilated every second.
At the same time, a path quickly opened up in the densely packed Undead monsters that formed the Scourge
Huge monsters rushed out from it. The ground trembled slightly, and a strong smell of decomposing matter rolled in.
The monsters each held a huge chain axe. Their huge bodies were like a mountain of meat.
Their bodies were covered with stitches, and each of them had several arms and feet. They looked as if countless corpses had been piled up and stitched together.
Green grease constantly dripped from their bodies. Their appearance was extremely hideous and chilling!
A stream of announcements entered everyone's mind.
[Abomination]
Race: Scourge
Profession: Stitched Monster
Level: Stage Four, Level 7
Introduction: The dead bodies are no longer silent. They are repaired, stitched up, and thrown into the battlefield. Driven by the darkness, they are the nightmares of living creatures!
Ten Abominations appeared. Their horrifying aura and hideous appearance caused everyone's brows to furrow!
Furthermore, on the shoulder of the largest Abomination—which was several feet high—was a seat made of dead wood.
A female monster with gray-green skin and leather armor sat there, looking down at the crowd with her pale eyes!

Chapter 107: Silent Domain! Undead General!
With the appearance of the female monster, a dense aura of death immediately emerged!
The greenish glow enveloped the area, rendering it eerie beyond comparison.
An extremely terrifying aura swept out, causing the crowd below the city to shiver—this was the aura of a Stage Five monster!
The Prophet of Death, a terrifying existence above overlord-level existences!
Luo Xinghe and the other people—who were fighting under the city—all stiffened as if a cold palm clutched at their hearts!
Fear rapidly spread in the people's hearts. Their faces became pale, all the fine hair on their bodies stood up, and cold sweat dripped off them like rain!
The Prophet of Death raised her iron hook-like claws and made a gesture for silence at her pale-white lips.
In an instant, the Silent Domain descended upon everyone!
The crowd only felt a cold wind brush past their bodies, and then their voices were mercilessly taken!
The chanting of the Mages and Priests on the battlement came to a screeching halt!
Some people opened their mouths wide and tried to scream, but there wasn't the slightest sound. They just looked extremely comical.
It seemed that the world had become dead silent with this female monster's arrival!
Link's sword eyebrows rose slightly, and a cold aura appeared in his eyes.
A Prophet of Death's Silent Domain was a nightmare for Mages and other professions that required chanting.
In this battle, this domain's terror was even more obvious!
The female monster sitting atop the Abomination locked her gaze on Link. Her eyes were ice cold and full of killing intent. "Human, you will use your life to pay the price for what you have done!"
The words had barely faded when the Prophet of Death waved her staff. A thick cloud of rotten bats then surged towards Link!
Four huge Abominations also surrounded him with their chain axes in hand. They wanted to make sure that he had no way to escape!
At the same time, the rest of the Abominations roared and rushed toward Luo Xinghe and the other humans, who were busy fighting under the city.
The serrated axe blade tore through the air, emitting a horrible sonic boom! Furthermore, the axe blade also emitted a black light. Once the black light hit anything, it would quickly deprive it of life!
The rotten bats also opened their bloody mouths full of fangs and tried to tear Link's body apart!
Faced with such a crisis, a cold glint flashed through Link's deep eyes. There was not the slightest bit of fear within.
The Prophet of Death wanted Link to die. Likewise, Link wanted to behead the Prophet of Death and put an end to her Silent Domain.
In an instant, [Holy Charge] was activated!
Link emitted a golden glow with a longsword in hand. It reflected his body, making it seem flawless—just like a god who had descended!
The bats—which had opened their bloody mouths—were blocked by the golden light and could not harm Link at all.
An Abomination swung its huge axe at Link, but it was also enveloped by the golden light!
This was the effect of [Holy Charge]. It granted one invincibility and immunity to control skills and damage!
Link took big steps forward like an unstoppable golden sword. The sword's cold blade rammed into one of the Abominations in front of him!
The huge Abomination, like a mountain of meat, was instantly knocked backward by Link. The densely sewn together corpses turned into broken flesh and splattered all over the ground!
Part of the Undead army, the Abomination—which was known for its defensive power—couldn't even stop a blow from Link!
As the Abomination's body shattered, a foul stench—similar to a corpse that had been fermenting in a pickle jar for several months—spread out.
The Prophet of Death—who was sitting on the Abomination's shoulder—frowned, and a flash of horror flashed across her face!
A sense of crisis and coldness instantly struck her heart!
Abominations were extremely difficult to kill. The layers of piled-up corpses gave them high defense.
A Stage Four powerhouse usually wouldn't even be able to tear off the thick layer of grease on an Abomination!
The battle power of the human in front of her terrified her!
"Go. That human must not be allowed to escape. Tear his body and soul into pieces!" shouted the Prophet of Death anxiously, and several more meat mountain-like Abominations dragged their huge axes and lunged at Link!
Link's sword eyebrows rose slightly, and the [Ring of Teleportation] on his hand glowed faintly.
He suddenly disappeared from where he stood and reappeared in front of the Prophet of Death!
A blazing golden sword aura appeared along with Link's figure!
[Rage of the Holy Sword]—all attributes and damage increased by 10,000% for one minute!
A bright flame burst from the [King's Sword] like an ocean of gold!
At this moment, the light blazed. Link seemed to be holding a small sun in his hand, which he smashed at the Prophet of Death!
It happened so quickly that the Prophet of Death only had time to widen her eyes; her gray-green face was full of panic.
Under the terrifying power, even she, a Stage Five monster, could only choke and despair!
At the same time, a thunderous shout suddenly exploded in the world like a thunderclap. "If you don't want to die, stop!"
As if he didn't hear anything, Link chopped down the Prophet of Death in front of him, along with the largest Abomination!
Blood and flesh flew everywhere; severed limbs and bodily fluids splashed all over!
But Link had already floated to the ground. His white robe fluttered in the night breeze, and he seemed awe-inspiring and immortal-like!
"This is not the first Stage Five monster I've killed, nor will it be the last," responded Link coldly.
The Silent Domain instantly shattered. However, this place was still dead silent!
Both the Undead monsters and the crowd of human beings were deeply shocked by Link's powerful and terrifying sword!
Xue Linglong and the others looked at Link's straight back with glittering eyes!
A moment later, sneering laughter rang out. "Not the first? It seems you've killed Stage Five Undead before. This General has suddenly shifted his attention. You are indeed an interesting gnat."
"If you are willing to submit and become This General's slave, This General can spare your life!"
An arrogant and majestic voice came from the Undead Army's rear. Along with it came an extremely terrifying aura!
The power of death spurted out like a tidal wave, and a terrifying aura spread out!
The Undead Army automatically parted to make a path.
Countless Undead monsters couldn't help but tremble due to the aura blanketing them. The soul fire in their eyes flickered like a candle flame in the wind!
A group of Evil Bone Beasts—which looked like mountains of bones—soon stepped into the crowd's view!
There were seven of them. When they galloped together, the ground shook! However, these terrifying monsters were merely the pets of the man in the chariot!
On the huge chariot, a humanoid monster—leaning on a huge sword with a ghostly glow—gazed at Link, amused!
The air seemed to freeze with the Stage Five, Level 10 existence's aura—about to cross into Stage Six!
Luo Xinghe and the others paled, and they felt almost suffocated!

Chapter 108: Might of the Sword! Evil General!
Link stared at the terrifying being on the huge chariot, his expression cold. Then, he indifferently raised the [King's Sword] with his hand and directly pointed its sharp tip at the chariot!
Perhaps some people were willing to spend their lives on their knees and even take pride in serving these monsters that came out of the abyss, but not Link!
He said flatly, "Not me. Even if you are willing to submit to me, I will cut off your head!"
The words fell with force.
The Undead General on top of the chariot had not expected Link to reply in this way, and his expression appeared to freeze for a moment.
Then, monstrous murderous intent surfaced!
Several of the Evil Bone Beasts pulling the chariot trembled!
Not only did Link's words embarrass the Evil General, but they smacked him hard in the face like a vicious slap!
At this moment, this general—who was in charge of thousands of Undead beings—was so furious he wanted to eat Link alive. "Very good! You really are an interesting human! When This General captures you and makes you into the lowliest of Undead beings, I hope you can still be so arrogant!"
An announcement sounded in Link's mind.
[Evil General]
Race: Scourge
Profession: General
Level: Stage Five, Level 10
Introduction: One of the Scourge's generals, the sower of death and despair!
Link's heart clenched slightly. In his previous life, the strongest being in the Undead Army that destroyed Dragon City was also the Evil General. But the one that appeared in front of him seemed to be even stronger.
This was probably because nobody had used a City Building to formally establish a city here in Link's previous life. It was only a gathering place for humans, so the Undead monsters they faced were also weaker.
Unfallen City was recognized by heaven and earth. If it wanted to be formally established, it would have to face more demanding challenges!
While Link was lost in his thoughts, the Evil General on the chariot waved his hand, and a black light started shining.
The chains that bound the Evil Bone Beasts broke and fell to the ground.
The seven Evil Bone Beasts—which were now unbound—all roared and locked onto Link, swiftly charging toward him!
"Roar!"
The Evil Bone Beasts' roar was so terrifying that it seemed to tear apart one's eardrums!
Their huge bodies were like mountains of bones. When they ran, the ground shook, and sand splattered!
Like seven barbaric mountains, Seven Evil bone Beasts ruthlessly charged toward Link with a burst of monstrous power!
At this moment, only a few seconds remained for [Rage of the Holy Sword]'s effects.
Link executed the [Spring and Autumn Sword Technique] without hesitation!
Suddenly, boundless sword energy gathered around Link's body. It was vast and powerful as if ready to destroy everything in the world!
Link's white robes flapped, and his expression was indifferent. He looked like a sword immortal at the peak of their swordplay, uninterested in all things as his sword was out to astonish the sky!
As the [King's Sword] fell, streams of sword energy gathered like the vast ocean and shot toward the seven Evil Bone Beasts!
At this moment, even the Evil Bone Beasts—which were extremely tyrannical and filled with bloodlust—grew fearful!
The army of Undead monsters trembled under this powerful and terrifying sword attack!
The Evil General's eyes flashed with dread and shock, but he quickly regained his composure. The Evil General could tell that the human in front of him was definitely in a special state since Link was able to release such horrifying strength.
But this special state was temporary.
To the Evil General, Link was merely a slightly larger ant!
The Evil Bone Beasts suddenly slowed down; they even wanted to turn around and flee. But due to the inertial force, they couldn't avoid the incoming sword energy!
In an instant, streams of swift and quick sword energy engulfed the seven Evil Bone Beasts. The Evil Bone Beasts didn't even manage to make a sound!
The seven Evil Bone Beasts were instantly blown apart by Link!
A mushroom cloud formed where the sword energy exploded. It was a terrifying burst of power!
Everyone in Unfallen City was dumbfounded!
That must be fake?!
Is a Stage Four powerhouse capable of this?
Fatty Lu Da swallowed hard and said slowly, "Brother Link... is just too fierce!"
Luo Xinghe and the others in the city were full of amazement at this point. They were once again stunned by Link!
Even Xue Linglong and Luo Xingyao couldn't help their shocked expressions. Their red lips were slightly parted and were touched.
On the huge chariot, the Evil General felt cold in his heart. But he remained unyielding as he let out a cold snort. "Not bad, but how long can you remain in this state?"
He waved his large hand. Numerous Undead monsters and a few Abominations charged at Link.
The Evil General had already set his mind on eliminating this person before his eyes.
Link still looked indifferent as he lifted his sword toward the surge of Undead monsters and Abominations.
Although the [Rage of the Holy Sword]'s effects had ended, those monsters were no match for Link.
At this moment, the six-winged Yuna waved her staff and released golden holy light!
[Holy Light Purification]!
Rays of golden holy light fell like shooting stars. A crowd of Undead creatures instantly burned with holy flames!
The God Devourer Ant turned into a dark glow, swung its front limbs, and smashed an Abomination into mush!
The Evil General noticed the few extraordinary summoned creatures, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help but twitch. Could this human be a Summoner? Shouldn't Summoners be weak themselves?
The Evil General was surprised, but he was not afraid. Instead, his urge to kill Link became stronger! Such a transcendent human must not be allowed to grow any further; otherwise, it will be a great disaster to me and even the Scourge!
Realizing that Link was not in as good a condition as before, the Evil General got up from his throne violently. "Human, I will be taking your soul!"
The next moment, the Evil General morphed into a shadow and shot toward Link with a huge sword in hand!
The huge sword slashed down, bringing with it the terrifying power of death!
The Evil General had no intention of holding back. He wanted to kill this human with one blow!
A portion of Link's attention was keeping watch of the Evil General's movements. When he saw the Evil General coming, Link turned around to fight him!
Swords flashed. The ghostly green power of death and the brilliant golden sword gleam collided and intertwined!
The sound of an explosion was heard. The terrifying, resulting shockwave was like a raging storm!
The huge stones on the ground were sent flying by their battle's aftershocks!
In the blink of an eye, the two had exchanged several blows.
The more the Evil General fought with Link, the stronger the chills in his heart! The human in front of him was clearly only a Stage Four existence, yet the human was holding his own in the match against himself. In fact, the human seemed to be slightly stronger!
This was beyond the Evil General's imagination! He was an Undead General that was about to be promoted to Stage Six. Shouldn't his attributes be far superior to the human in front of him?
Boom!
Another collision!
Link sent the Evil General flying!
Black blood dribbled from the corner of the Evil General's mouth. The expression in his eyes turned grim, and he suddenly shouted, "Undead Offering, open the Door of Abyss! This human must not be allowed to live!"

Chapter 109: Offering Sacrifice! Door of Abyss!
With the Evil General's order, many Dark Priests draped in tattered robes walked out from the Undead army.
They held staffs that glowed with cold light. An aura that made one restless at heart lingered around them.
Door of Abyss!
Link was instantly alert. This being his second lifetime, he'd once heard rumors about the Door of Abyss.
This was a teleportation door that Undead creatures prepared for high-level existences in the abyss. It could connect and receive terrifying monsters in the abyss.
In Link's previous life, the Undead army had once attacked and occupied multiple human cities. They then used hundreds of thousands of fresh lives in the cities as sacrifices to open the Door of Abyss.
Ultimately, they successfully received a general-level existence in the Scourge, and the surrounding areas were directly met with destruction!
How could Link allow the Dark Priests to do as they wished? His countenance was ice cold. The sword energy surrounding him became increasingly turbulent and fearsome!
At this moment, the Dark Priest Squad had already begun their performance.
Mysterious, obscure, and filthy chants sounded, accompanied by the strange twisting of their limbs. It was like a witch sacrifice before eternity, but it also resembled the people of the darkness greeting their god.
Merely witnessing the scene had made Luo Xinghe and company feel extremely uncomfortable. It felt as if something was in their chests, squirming, sprouting, and about to break out of their bodies!
Under the chants' accompaniment, streams of light swiftly condensed, outlining a complicated array structure. Even the space around them vaguely distorted as if it was about to be ripped apart!
"Die!"
With this violent roar, nothing else was said.
Link had turned into a phantom, shooting out like an arrow that left its bow. His sword's icy blade was pointed right at the Dark Priest Squad. The earth and rock beneath their feet were cracking at every inch because of his steps.
"Insignificant one, your flustered manner really puts one in a good mood!" The Evil General blocked Link's way forward with a huge sword in hand. His phantom-green eyes were full of contemplation and mockery!
The knot in the Evil General's stomach had completely been undone after making use of the Door of Abyss to bring high-level existences over, allowing him to be full of confidence once again.
Boom!
The two people collided instantly, and golden rays crossed with a dim green glow!
A storm swept across, and the surrounding Undead creatures were directly destroyed by the afterwinds. Each skeleton turned into shavings, whirling in the air.
Link was in no mood to engage the Evil General endlessly. After their blades clashed, a [Holy Charge] directly met the Evil General!
Golden holy light enveloped Link—nothing could stop the charge!
After the Evil General was hit, his body instantly flew black, and he was briefly stunned.
At this moment, Link directly launched [Holy Spirit Necklace]'s active skill, [Holy Sword of the Light]!
A brilliant ray of holy white light descended as if it had fallen from the zenith—majestic and vast!
The power of the light ray subsequently condensed to form a huge holy sword, which slashed down from mid-air as if it were an extremely sacred, primordial divine punishment that was here to dispel evil!
[Holy Sword of the Light]—which caused Light damage 1,000% of one's Intelligence attribute—was undoubtedly a powerful skill against the Undead creatures!
Even the Stage Five, Level 10 Evil General felt a strong uneasiness surface in his heart when he faced the falling holy sword. It was as if he was a prisoner awaiting his trial.
"Souls of the dead, turn into my shield!" Finally, the Evil General broke out of his stunned state and let out a violent cry before the holy sword landed.
Streaks of dark-green rays burst out from around him like the Styx pouring out. A massive shield wall stood between the heavens and earth.
The shield wall was full of warped, hideous human faces as if it condensed death!
Boom!
Amidst a deafening roar, the shield wall shattered into pieces!
The [Holy Sword of the Light] turned into a fiery holy flame, burning the broken pieces of the shield wall. The Evil General was also knocked back, and white holy light wound around his body.
At this time, the Dark Priests' chants were drawing to an end. The massive teleportation array outline—created with death and the forces of darkness—began to take shape.
It was like a pitch-black whirlpool had appeared, there were deep purple rays circulating inside it!
The Undead creatures were directly sacrificed. Their soul fires were sucked into the pitch-black whirlpool like concentrated groups of fireflies.
Luo Xinghe and others were even more horrified!
Within the whirlpool seemed to be an extremely terrifying aura seeping out. The aura came from a fearsome existence that the heavens and earth would tremble for.
Luo Xingyao, Xue Linglong, and a few others—who had more talent and far sharper senses than the average person—even saw the extremely frightening scene behind the jet-black whirlpool...
In a certain pitch-black, chaotic, indescribable area of the universe, an eye—even bigger than a planet—instantly opened.
It focused on the Blue Star that they were on from far away...
Link—who possessed a Taboo-grade profession—naturally caught this spine-chilling scene too.
He did not hesitate in the slightest. The [Ring of Teleportation] on his hand glimmered with a faint-silver glow, and he directly teleported to the Dark Priest Squad's center.
He was like a sacrificial offering that willingly went to the doorstep. However, the crowd of Dark Priests all turned pale with fear!
The human being before them was an existence strong enough to suppress the Evil General. How would they dare take him lightly? Link wasn't a random little white rabbit but a tyrannical dragon strong enough to wipe them out!
"Stop him! We cannot let him destroy the Door of Abyss!"
Several Undead creatures were shouting.
Multiple Dark Priests stopped what they were doing and cooperated with the Undead monsters surging toward this side to launch attacks at Link.
Dark energy gathered, and weapons stained with the power of death shot toward Link fiercely!
But Link clearly wasn't someone they could shake. Streams of sword energy swept out like the beating of angry torrents, and the swift and fierce sword energy directly annihilated the few Dark Priests.
Chills surged in the Undead creatures' hearts. The human before them was outrageously dominant. In comparison, it seemed as if they were the ants being crushed!
Meanwhile, the six-winged angel Yuna and God Devourer Ant had also arrived.
The Dark Priests and Undead creatures were either blown to pieces or burned by the holy flames.
The black whirlpool that traversed the air vaguely became slightly unstable, and disordered energy was all around.
After killing the last few Dark Priests maintaining the Door of Abyss, Link directly sent a strike toward the semi-finished Door of Abyss without any hesitation!
A golden ray burst forth from the [King's Sword] like a golden phoenix spreading its wings, about to tear this whirlpool before it apart.
"No!" Amidst his violent cry, the Evil General—who had blood at the corner of his mouth—abruptly threw out the huge longsword in his hands.
The longsword, wrapped in a dense mist of death, actually transmogrified into a large phantom bat in its outer appearance. It's massive wings spread open, seeking to stop Link's attack.
A rip sounded.
The large phantom bat had merely worn down some of the sword ray's energy before it was torn apart by the sword ray.
Black runes lit up around the black whirlpool—which was struck by the sword ray, and a small half of it instantly vanished.
The whirlpool then became even more incomplete and messy.
Link lifted his hand once again, about to send another strike to destroy it.
Meanwhile, a dark figure had already leaped up! It was the Evil General, who had hurriedly rushed over. He did not stop Link. Instead, he spread his arms wide open and threw himself into the black whirlpool!
He clearly wanted to use himself as a sacrifice to complete the sacrificial offering and open the Door of Abyss!
Although the ritual was incomplete, and the teleportation portal—which used a magic circle as its base—was also damaged, it would probably still be able to receive an existence strong enough to wipe out this human before him.
The Evil General thought silently and fell toward the black whirlpool, his face full of grimness and resentment!

Chapter 110: Stage Six! Dark Sage!
Within seconds, the Evil General was devoured by the black whirlpool!
At the final moment, the madness and savageness revealed on this Undead General's face chilled everyone's hearts.
The black whirlpool—which was like a huge mouth of the abyss—had a moment of peace.
But the dark-purple radiance exploded a few breaths later, directly tearing the space apart to construct a massive door.
The door was made up of energy, but it was like a tangible object. It was covered in marks of passing time and strange runes.
With a creak, a frightening aura spread out from the door!
The teleportation door—which was like the gates to hell—slowly opened!
The hearts in the masses' chests instantly shrunk. Somehow, a pair of cold palms seemed to have squeezed their throats!
The gurgle of saliva being swallowed sounded. Their nervous heartbeats were like the beating of drums.
Everyone's hands and feet were cold; the hair on their backs was upright!
The frightening existence in the abyss had ultimately stepped foot in this world...
Immense suppression and fear slammed down on everyone!
Link furrowed his brows slightly. The [King's Sword] in his hand was swung, and a sword ray leaped out.
Yuna also called out a ball of holy light energy, smashing it on the door like a cannonball.
But the Door of Abyss's opening could no longer be interrupted.
Link's countenance was cold as he stood with his sword in hand.
A purple claw emerged from the void; then, it was an entire purple body.
The monster that stepped out from the Door of Abyss was only armored around its few vital spots. Purple muscles knotted all around its body, and sharp spike-like bumps were even on its back! Its face was like a combination of a fish and an octopus—it looked extremely strange as its purple beard and hair fluttered.
As this purple monster walked out, the massive door vanished.
At the same time, a notification entered everyone's minds.
[Dark Sage]
Race: Undead Army
Profession: Dark Sage
Level: Stage 6, Level 2
Introduction: The majority of the fanatics who study dark magic in the abyss are devoured by the insane and taboo knowledge they learn. Dark Sages are clearly the best of them. They possess the ability to overturn the battle situation. They prove to the abyss that destruction and obliteration do not require sharp weapons.
The Dark Sage—whose appearance in human aesthetics could only be described using the words 'hideous' and 'strange'—did not immediately strike upon arriving in the world.
He instead examined his surroundings and let out a sigh. The abyss's evil language was directly translated by the [Doomsday Online] system into content comprehensible by the humans and rang in their ears.
"It really wasn't easy to come to this planet. The past glory is no more, and even your gods have died. Yet, the planet's will remains, preventing the superior beings in the abyss from arriving... Truly a strange place."
"Speak." The monster turned his head and focused his gaze on the humans. He seemed to be looking at a bunch of small and weak insects. His tone was even completely emotionless—it only contained commanding disdain. "How do you want to die?"
Many low-level [Doomsday Online] players were directly suppressed by the Dark Sage's aura to the point that they felt stiff all over, unable to speak with trembling bodies.
Link also sensed the forces of darkness abruptly surging around him.
The Dark Sage before him was like a black sun—his might was towering. However, there was still only coldness on Link's face. There wasn't the slightest bit of timidity.
After advancing to Stage Four, Link's attributes had increased significantly. Even though he was facing a Stage Six monster, it didn't mean that he was incapable of fighting against it!
On the contrary, the words uttered by the Dark Sage caused a stir in Link's heart.
The planet's will prevents the superior beings in the abyss from directly stepping into the world. This is probably the true reason why the Undead army only arrived on the tenth day of the apocalyptic world's descent.
The system update was merely a guise.
If the Undead army were to attack at the beginning, or if the frightening existences in the abyss had arrived, humanity probably wouldn't even have the slightest chance to breathe and grow.
But Link had also heard of a rumor in his previous life—that a certain kind of protection mechanism actually existed on Blue Star.
For example, [Doomsday Online] was an opportunity for humanity to evolve and grow. This game system allowed one to transition through the levels of life within a short period of time.
However, such a protection mechanism was not immutable. Following the lapse of time or the Undead creatures' influence, increasingly more terrifying existences would arrive on Blue Star—such as the Zergs, who followed closely behind the Undead creatures...
As his thoughts spun swiftly, Link unhesitatingly swung his sword at the Dark Sage before him!
The [King's Sword] was brandished, and streaks of fast and strong sword energy swept toward the Dark Sage like a vast and mighty river!
Yuna wasn't idle either. The holy light gathered at her staff was already at the limit. It turned into an incandescent ball of light and shot out!
God Devourer Ant also turned into a dark glow and pounced at the Dark Sage.
Meanwhile, Star Moon remained with Xue Linglong and the remaining [Doomsday Online] players to jointly fend off the Undead army—which had become fierce and aggressive once more.
Roars and battle cries unceasingly rang out!
A purple glow rippled out from around the Dark Sage. Once the sword energy and holy light entered the glow's range, both dissipated into nothingness like pebbles dropped into the sea.
As God Devourer Ant approached the Dark Sage's front, the purple glow suddenly burst out with a powerful counterforce and pushed it away.
Some hints of graveness were revealed on Yuna's holy and flawless face. She spoke to Link via thoughts. 'Master, this monster seems capable of absorbing our attacks and turning them into a counterforce!'
Link softly nodded as light flashed in his eyes. The Dark Sage is a monster wearing an armor of reflection! However, there should be a limit to this layer of defense. It is impossible for the Dark Sage to transform all attacks unconditionally. We have to figure out its limits as quickly as possible with our subsequent attacks!
The Dark Sage lightly nodded as he watched Link. "You are the strongest among this bunch of humans, aren't you? Able to display such might at Stage Four... If you develop further, you might turn out to be a small trouble. I had better get rid of you as soon as possible."
Once his words fell, a frightening aura unrolled. The Dark Sage stretched his palm toward Link, and a dark-purple glow flared.
A suction force was abruptly produced!
Link's body was instantly sucked uncontrollably toward the Dark Sage. It was as though a black hole, which devoured everything, existed there!
"This..." Hints of nervousness and worry flashed across the faces of Xue Linglong, Qiao Ruowei, and the others—who'd placed a part of their attention on this end the whole time. Their pretty faces were slightly pale.
The Dark Sage was a Stage Six monster—two stages above humankind's top Stage Four powerhouse. It was a presence strong enough to wipe out all of them!
Who could remain calm at this point?
As this all happened, Link just gripped the [King's Sword] in his hand tightly and didn't hesitate to launch a [Holy Charge] as the appetizer!
Golden light enveloped him as he cut forward like a large, golden sword!
Boom!
Amidst the sound of the roar, the Dark Sage was forcefully sent flying by [Holy Charge]'s effect. He appeared to be slightly dismayed and surprised.
Link and Yuna continued to send several more attacks at the Dark Sage in quick succession. The ground instantly turned into flying gravel as smoke and dust filled the air.
"Interesting." Contemplative laughter came from the smoke and dust. The Dark Sage waved his hand to dispel the smoke and smoke, and purple glows danced in his eyes. "As payback, I shall let you people—who are insignificant like ants—take a look at the art of the darkness!"
In an instant, the Dark Sage began chanting a strange spell. He lifted both his hands and a ball of purple energy condensed within them. He looked like he was lifting a big black sun, and the aura became increasingly terrifying!

Chapter 111: Mirror of Illusion! Mask of the Faceless!
An aura from the dark abyss swept across the area, and everyone felt chills all over.
Indistinct evil snarls even seemed to be sounding by their ears!
Looking at Dark Sage's Demon Lord-like form, many people held their breaths instantly. Their hearts were filled with nervousness and fear.
The ball of energy—which was like a black sun—exploded.
An energy storm wreaked havoc in the area at once!
Waves—that rippled outward—appeared in mid-air, and it seemed to have turned into a water surface.
Pieces of mirrors—with runes glowing and shining on the edges—then emerged in the air, not far from the humans.
The area was almost entirely covered by smooth rivers, becoming a world in the mirror. The mirrors reflected every pale face and figure!
The unknown often made one fearful. Everyone had never heard of such a scene before, so exclamations rose unceasingly.
"What is this?"
"So many mirrors; is this magic? Or is it a domain skill like the Prophet of Death's silence domain?"
"We're all being reflected in the mirrors... Will there be some frightening consequences?"
"Why do I feel like my reflection in the mirror is strange!"
The [Doomsday Online] players vigilantly stared at the mirrors not far from them.
Some people attempted to do an action, but the 'them' in the mirrors did not reflect the change. 'They' remained rooted to the spot instead.
There were even people in the mirrors whose mouth corners lifted slightly to reveal unusually evil smiles...
Many people's hair instantly stood on end! However, the even scarier events had yet to come.
Deep-purple glows rose from the smooth mirror pieces; there were ripples on them like water surfaces.
The reflections originally inside the mirrors actually began walking out of the mirrors slowly!
These mirror people were exactly like their original owners in terms of appearances, even levels, and weapons.
The moment they stepped out of the mirror, they started sending attacks at their original 'owners'—who weren't far away—without hesitation.
Before some [Doomsday Online] players could react, the cold blades had already struck them, and blood stained their clothes!
"Monsters! These monsters in the mirrors are exactly like us—even the skills they wield are the same!" exclaimed someone after engaging with mirror people.
Xue Linglong, Luo Xinghe, and the other close-combat experts were also frowning hard as they became entangled with fighting their own mirror images.
These reflections practically possessed the same combat ability as their original owners; it was difficult to determine the winner for a time.
Together with the surrounding Undead creatures' attacks, the [Doomsday Online] players instantly sunk into a painful battle, and the situation was not optimistic!
The Dark Sage watched the masses battle it out with their reflections. The corner of his mouth moved, and he seemed to be smiling. "Truly a beautiful scene that pleases one."
All of a sudden, he let out a soft 'eh' and looked in a certain direction.
At this moment, a small beast with a dense blood mist lingering around it—which was hiding between the gravel—suddenly exploded, turning into fresh, crimson blood that flew in all directions!
In the distance, Bloodseeker—who was in the city ruins—suddenly trembled. A streak of fear and panic flashed across his withered face.
The Blood Fiend Gang members noticed his unusualness and asked, "Master, are you alright?"
Bloodseeker shook his head lightly, but a few hints of fear remained in his eyes. "I'm fine. One of my blood shadow clones was destroyed. To think a Stage Six abyss creature actually appeared during the siege this time! It seems like Link is surely dead! It's truly regrettable that I cannot tear off his head personally!"
Listening to Bloodseeker's recount, the Blood Fiend Gang members all revealed looks of shock.
Stage Six abyss creature!? That is absolutely an existence that current humans can't counter!
Such a terrifying creature has actually arrived so early?
In front of Unfallen City, a crowd of Undead creatures and mirror images constantly launched attacks, closing in with every step.
When the Dark Sage looked in Link's direction, a speck of surprise indistinctly flashed through his eyes.
Not far from Link was also a space with lit-up runes that then became a smooth mirror. It was about to cast his reflection.
But while the [Doomsday Online] players' reflections had taken form and walked out of the mirrors, the reflection that belonged to Link remained in a misty state.
A black shadow cloud was inside the mirror. It squirmed ceaselessly, unable to take form even after a long time had passed.
The Dark Sage's eyes narrowed, and his heart shook slightly. Creating a mirror image with the same ability as its original was a unique skill similar to curses and domains, and it would consume his magic.
The more powerful the existence, the greater the difficulty in creating a reflection resembling it. Even if the reflection was created, its capabilities would be significantly weaker.
However, the aura radiating from the human before me is merely a Stage Four one. Why is it so difficult to create his reflection? This is completely beyond logic! The corners of the Dark Sage's eyes twitched slightly, and he upped the magic output.
The more magic the Dark Sage released, the more surprised he was in his heart!
The mirror near Link was like a bottomless black hole that continuously devoured his magic, so much so that he sensed threads of extremely unusual traits and aura coming from that human being!
That was [Death] and [Void]!
How can a mere human possess such an aura? Even the Dark Sage's heart was no longer calm now!
Following the continuous infusion of magic, the purple glow on the mirror near Link intensified even more. The squirming of the black figure inside the mirror also sped up.
Link stared at the mirror, feeling slightly moved. He possessed the Taboo-grade profession—[Great Void Taboo Master]—as well as a Super God-grade profession, [Death Judge].
It was practically impossible to clone him.
Link did not allow the Dark Sage to exercise his skills, but he quickly brought out a strange mask.
The mask was glossy and simple, seemingly made from the skin of a certain unknown creature. There was a jet-black whirlpool drawn on it.
After looking at it for a long time, one would feel as if their mind was about to be devoured by that black whirlpool and then degenerate and become warped with it.
This was the reward Link had obtained after clearing Killing Purgatory and earned a SSS rating.
Through [Supreme Blessing, [Lost Mask] had become [Mask of the Faceless]!
[Mask of the Faceless]
Grade: Myth (Upgradable)
Description: The lost mask of a certain taboo existence with countless incarnations. It can be a present that drives one to madness or a gift that causes disaster.
Additional skill 1: [Faceless] (Passive Skill): Wearer will receive the chaos's protection. Wearer cannot be deduced, spotted, and identified——Creeping within the chaos, 'He' is the god of a thousand faces.
Additional skill 2: [Cirrus Limbs] (Active Skill): Wearer can extend mental strength into cirrus form. The wearer can expend mental strength to carry out attacks or defensive maneuvers. When using Cirrus Limbs, all attributes increased by 100%. Skill additionally causes spiritual pollution to enemy units when offensively striking——Cirrus that dances wildly with an indescribable body; 'He' is chaos itself.
Additional skill 3: [God of Evil's Whispers] (Active Skill): Wearer mobilizes mental strength and strength within the mask to release God of Evil's whispers, causing mental confusion to enemy units. There is a 10% chance of directly causing enemy units to degenerate and become twisted——Listen! Sounds of madness keep coming from the chaos...
Additional skill 4: [Chao's Messenger: Hidden skill. As the Mask of the Faceless is damaged, this skill cannot be used!
This was an extremely powerful piece of equipment, but it was more inclined to chaos and degeneration. Using it might bring disaster to himself, so Link had not used it previously.
Presently faced with Stage Six monsters, Link placed the mask that radiated evil on his face without any hesitation.

Chapter 112: Aberration! God of Evil's Whispers!
Plap!
A soft sound.
The moment the mask covered Link's face, it made changes on its own. It extended and contracted as if it had dissolved into a puddle of liquid, extremely molded to Link's face.
At the same time, strange and twisted whispers appeared with it.
In a trance, Link only felt like all the light in his surroundings dimmed at once. The masses who were fighting and the Dark Sage had all vanished.
There was only a fog-like mist before his eyes. In the darkness that could not be seen through, an unknown existence seemed to be hidden and was snickering softly.
"He's... here."
"He's finally here."
"Link..."
As whispers continuously entered his ears, the back of Link's neck also turned cold instantly. It was as if some sort of slimy cirrus had brushed across it, and it made him uneasy in his heart.
At the same time, the [Fearless Pathfinder] title's passive skill, [Fearless, also began taking effect.
Link only felt a warmth surge in his chest that directly reached his brain afterward. It instantly pulled him out of the cold and strange state.
The scene before his eyes returned, and the strange and menacing whispers by his ears also subsided like the tide.
A dim gleam flashed through Link's eyes as he exhaled lightly.
This piece of equipment probably came from a certain heretic god and inherently carried the pollution that drove people to degeneration and insanity.
If the average man hastily used it, he might get corroded then and there. A frightening abnormality might even occur.
Even though Link possessed [Fearless, a passive skill, he maintained the attitude of giving the item a wide berth.
In his previous lifetime, Link had, after all, heard about some [Doomsday Online] players being corroded by certain things. They then lost their minds and turned into monsters.
When Link put on the mask, the reflection in the mirror—originally slowly taking form according to his aura—suddenly faltered; then, it actually began contorting crazily!
The black figure that had already taken on human form suddenly collapsed, disintegrated, and turned into a pile of mud.
Many pitch-black, cirrus-like limbs swiftly grew out from that slush-like body, which then swung out harshly and struck the mirror!
Boom!
A stifled slapping sound rose together with the cracking sounds.
Frightening cracks suddenly appeared on the smooth mirror that was made from space, swiftly extending like a spiderweb.
This strange scene was completely different from the others' mirrors. The aberrated creature in the mirror radiated a crazy aura, which set a chill in one's heart.
Even the Dark Sage, who cast the [Mirror of Illusion] was quite stunned!
The scene before his eyes had not been manipulated by him at all. There were even auras of degeneration and madness swiftly climbing over through the connection between himself and the aberrated reflection.
This forced the Dark Sage to cut the connection on his own initiative. The aberrated reflection had already exceeded his control!
"What exactly have you done?" questioned The Dark Sage. There was no longer the earlier disdain and superiority in his tone.
Link did not respond. He only gripped the [King's Sword] in his hand tightly. His gaze was sharp as he watched the changes in the mirror.
The Dark Sage's countenance became even colder. He stared at the strange mask on Link's face. Uneasiness actually rose vaguely in his heart.
"It's the influence of that mask! Why do you own so many strange items?!" Before his words fell, the mirror that was covered in cracks could no longer bear the weight and was completely destroyed, bringing with it an explosive roar.
A deformed and warped figure surged out from the mirror! Its body was like a lump of haphazard sludge. It was constantly squirming while the cirri danced wildly. A good number of the cirri even curled toward the Dark Sage!
The Dark Sage did not make use of the anti-shock barrier that blanketed him to block the cirri. Instead, he struck without the slightest bit of hesitation, seeming extremely wary of such attacks.
Streaks of deep-purple rays slammed into the warped reflection, repeatedly tearing up those cirri and the mud-like body.
However, the aberrated reflection displayed a terrifying [Regenerate] ability. The torn-up cirri crept out of the sludge-like body without end, and the sight was frightening.
Degeneration and aberration; these should not be the powers of humankind! Could it be that this human has a connection to those indescribables?! thought the Dark Sage inwardly.
Faint chills had even risen in him, and he was unwilling to remain here.
The aura around Link surged as he prepared to strike.
The reflection's aberrations probably had to do with the [Mask of the Faceless, and such changes were clearly what the Dark Sage feared.
Link had taken all of this in very quickly. While the Dark Sage was being attacked, Link also launched his offense at the same time.
Howls of the wind sounded!
A sword ray slashed out with a whistle, yet it was no longer golden or silver but an uneasy gray.
After putting on the mask, certain changes had happened to Link's attack attributes. He now had a strange strength.
Yuna—who was presently resisting the reflections and Undead army with God Devourer Ant—also swung her staff, throwing a golden ball of light at the Dark Sage.
Boom!
A loud explosive sound reverberated.
The gray sword energy was not absorbed by the rippling purple waves this time. Instead, it swiftly cut through the anti-shock barrier like a hot knife slicing through butter and landed on the Dark Sage!
The Dark Sage took multiple steps back; there were even faint traces of blood at the corner of his mouth!
The attack was effective and even caused [True Damage]. Link no longer had any reservations and continued to strike.
Meanwhile, Yuna's holy light energy had also arrived and bloomed on the spot.
The Dark Sage used the anti-shock barrier to absorb part of the holy light's might and countered Link.
The aberrated reflection instead let out a piercing nicker after the holy light brushed it, seeming to have suffered considerable trauma!
The Dark Sage took the chance and launched a violent offense at the aberrated reflection. The terrifying purple rays seemed as if they sought to destroy the universe as they repeatedly slammed into the reflection!
Finally, the reflection completely collapsed and disintegrated. There was only a deep, fearsome pit and some black substance left on the ground.
The holy light seems to have a miraculous effect on such warped monsters.
Such a thought flashed through Link's heart. His figure had already swept to the Dark Sage's front.
The sword ray slashed down, and Link simultaneously employed the mask's ability without hesitation.
[God of Evil's Whispers]!
In the twinkling of an eye, even the surrounding space became vaguely distorted. The Dark Sage felt as if he had fallen into a certain lightless environment.
The darkness—which gave him a sense of intimacy in the past—now made him feel fear!
The darkness crashed over like a tide. Amidst it seemed to be cirri and arms reaching out, wanting to envelop the Dark Sage!
It was as if someone was whispering into his ears. This was a fallen voice of madness—it was instigating and tempting the Dark Sage.
Meanwhile, from Link's point of view, he saw the Dark Sage suddenly turn dazed. A distorted black figure then suddenly appeared behind him.
The indescribable black figure stretched out its arm and covered the Dark Sage's eyes. Its face pressed close to the Dark Sage's head and whispered very intimately.
Such a scene sent chills up one's spine!
Following that, squirming masses actually appeared on the Dark Sage's body. It was as though a certain thing was about to break through his blood and flesh and crawl out.
[Aberration] was happening, and even a Stage Six monster could not resist it!
Link was solemn. His mind's mental strength swiftly extended outward, turning into translucent cirri between virtual and reality around him.
They headed to kill the Dark Sage!
[Cirrus Limbs]!

Chapter 113: Kill! The Outcome Is Set!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
They were cirri formed by the extension of mental strength, but Link felt as if he could command them with ease. It was as if these cirri were his true limbs.
The translucent cirri were like steel whips; the frightening blast pressure almost broke the air!
Under the 100% buff of all attributes, Link's hands—which gripped his sword—weren't idle either. Power of death gathered on the sword blade.
It was [Death Judgment]!
At this moment, a jet-black aura lingered around Link. His robes flapped as if he was the god who controlled death, stepping out from the boundless underworld!
A huge phantom abruptly appeared from behind Link! This was a figure entirely shrouded beneath black robes. Once it appeared, it seemed like death itself. The universe had to tremble for it.
The black hood hid its face; only the big sickle in its hand gleamed with a startling glow!
As the sword blade danced, the sickle swung out toward the Dark Sage!
Pu chi!
The sword blade and cirri tore through the air and practically arrived at the same time.
During such a dire crisis, the Dark Sage—who was immersed in the [God of Evil's Whispers] state—also seemed to be alerted. His eyelids twitched slightly, wanting to sober up.
After that, a roar—which almost tore one's ear membranes apart—exploded on scene. A terrifying air blast swept across like a windstorm!
As an abyss creature, the Dark Sage possessed a certain resistance against death-attribute attacks.
But Link's attributes surpassed those of his peers at the same stage. Together with his boosted attributes, the might of this [Death Judgment] was extremely fearsome. It was enough to injure the Dark Sage severely.
At the heart of the windstorm.
The sand and stones on the ground were cracked, and gullies crisscrossed the space. The Dark Sage's armor splintered, and a massive wound almost tore him into two halves.
Between the left and right sections of his body, only some flesh and skin were connected as purple blood dripped continuously.
[Death Judgment]'s instant death effect was not triggered, but the Dark Sage was still in an extremely miserable state presently.
Moreover, under Link's powerful offense, the Dark Sage was completely unable to concentrate on resisting the [God of Evil's Whispers]—as well as the madness and pollution the cirri brought.
[Aberration] and [Degeneration] also exploded within the Dark Sage's body!
The masses all over his body squirmed madly. The Dark Sage's skin ripped apart, and cirri or blood-red eyes formed on his body unceasingly.
Within a mere few breaths' time, the Dark Sage had lost his form and become a lump of flesh that constantly squirmed.
An aura of insanity and degeneration surged out without end.
"I'll kill... kill you!" The Dark Sage—who looked entirely different—opened the tens of mouths all over his body, which had grown due to the aberration, and released a hoarse snarl at the same time.
But following the uncontrollable aberration's continuation, it completely drained the last of the Dark Sage's lifeforce.
The flesh that formed the Dark Sage's body began to disintegrate on a large scale, crumbling into minced flesh.
Link watched the Dark Sage—who'd lost his mind—turn into distorted pieces of flesh, feeling alert inwardly. "This is the pollution and distortion produced by the [Mask of the Faceless]?"
He contacted Yuna through his thoughts. 'Yuna, use Holy Light Purification.'
Balls of holy light energy soon smashed the Dark Sage like meteors.
Link also swung out streaks of sword energy, repeatedly chopping up the remnants of the Dark Sage.
After being burnt by the golden holy flames, they finally erased this Dark Sage's existence completely.
A system notification also sounded in Link's mind.
[Ding! Successfully killed Stage Six Dark Sage. EXP 1,000,000!]
[Ding! Cross-level kill detected. Gained 500% additional EXP!]
Following the Dark Sage's annihilation, the reflections—which were originally fighting with all the [Doomsday Online] players—also distorted and shattered with the Dark Sage.
The Undead creatures that had reached the city gates instantly froze. All the creatures sensed that the suppression belonging to the Dark Sage had vanished.
For a time, the entire battleground became silent for this reason!
Countless humans and Undead creatures simultaneously turned their heads and looked in Link's direction, all full of shock!
"The Stage Six Dark Sage is dead!"
"How is this possible?!"
"That is an existence summoned using the Door of Abyss! How could it die in the hands of a human?"
Countless Undead instantly broke out into a commotion, and hoarse exclamations rose unceasingly!
The soul fires deep within their eye sockets trembled violently, expressing their emotions of shock and disbelief.
What kind of human being was this?
He actually made them, the Undead, experience unprecedented fear!
The Undead creatures were stunned by Link and completely lost the will to fight. They practically became dazed on the spot. It was as though a huge hammer had harshly landed on their souls!
Meanwhile, all the [Doomsday Online] players became spirited at once.
On the city wall.
Fatty Lu Da sucked in a mouthful of cold air and could not help saying, "Damn it! Link is too strong! Unfortunately, I, Fatty, am uncultured! I go around the world with just one word—awesome..."
"Today is truly eye-opening!"
Yang Xuerou—who was originally worried about Link—heaved a sigh of relief. Her pretty face was full of agitation and delight.
[Demon Sealing Arrow] Luo Xingyao could barely contain her shock at this point too. Her red lips slightly parted as she murmured, "Is this Lord's true capability?"
A Stage Six monster originally shouldn't have appeared in the siege. It was summoned by the Evil General with its life as the price, yet it ended up dying in Link's hands!
One must know that Link was merely a Stage Four powerhouse like her! Yet, he could suppress a Stage Five existence and shred a Stage Six one!
What kind of terrifying combat power was this?
Under the city.
Luo Xinghe—who was fighting whilst bathed in blood—presently gazed at Link's back from far away; he was practically dazed.
He thought inwardly, Lord's strengthening speed is too fast; it virtually puts one in despair!
Xue Linglong, who was at the side, also stopped slightly. She stared at Link, a splendid radiance spinning in her beautiful eyes.
"City Master is mighty! Brothers, kill and crush all of these Undead that dare invade my Unfallen City!" Someone was greatly encouraged and shouted loudly, pouncing toward the Undead creatures once more.
All the [Doomsday Online] players responded successively, and the cheers were unceasing. The pairs of eyes that glanced at Link were full of reverence and agitation!
"Kill!"
"We absolutely cannot let these Undead creatures off!"
"Unfallen City shall never fall!"
"Those who attack my human race must be killed!" Luo Xinghe also let out a loud yell. The longsword in his hand was like a whirlwind as he joined in the killing of the Undead army even more ferociously.
Presently, the Undead army's leader had already been killed by Link. Although there was still a considerable number of Undead, the army was without a leader.
Moreover, with the help of [Territory of Thunder, Yuna, God Devourer Ant, and the other powerful summoned creatures, there was no longer any suspense to the battle.
The [Doomsday Online] players killed the Undead creatures in a crushing manner—it was practically a landslide. There was no need for Link to strike again.
With his thoughts, the cirri—constructed using mental strength—picked up the few items on the ground and had them floating before him.
These things were the items that the Stage Six Dark Sage had dropped—a scroll and a circular-shaped mirror.
There were still small amounts of black substances remaining on them. Link did not touch them immediately. Instead, he planned on getting Yuna to purify the items before he examined his gains...

Chapter 114: Request Reinforcements! No Retreat Army!
The fight beneath the city was still on-going, but the horizon already showed traces of lighting up.
The siege targeted at Unfallen City was drawing to an end.
The [Doomsday Online] players were killing the remaining Undead creatures, cleaning up the battlefield, and checking their gains.
"After killing the remaining Undead creatures, Unfallen City can then become a home city! We will also be able to have a safe homeland then!" said Yang Xuerou rather elatedly.
Luo Xingyao also nodded agitatedly. She couldn't help but turn her gaze to Link, who was by the side. In her eyes were admiration and gladness.
She knew very well that this siege was actually extremely dangerous. If it weren't for this man in front of her being present, they would have absolutely no way of getting through this.
Just the Stage Five Evil General was enough to lead the Undead army and make a clean sweep of everything, let alone the Stage Six monster that came through the Door of Abyss.
Luo Xingyao was very glad that she had chosen to follow Link. After thinking back about it at this moment, this was a very correct decision.
But it wasn't just Unfallen City that had encountered a siege.
Today, the Undead army would sweep across all human cities and gathering points.
Luo Xingyao slightly gritted her teeth and said solemnly, "If the Undead army every city encounters is this frightening, I don't know how many cities will be able to survive at the very end..."
"Very few, and this is only the start. Only by constantly improving can we face the crises that come in rapid succession." Link looked up at the sky in the distance that was slightly white. Rays of morning sunlight scattered on that determined face, and his presence was outstanding.
Luo Xingyao's gaze—which was directed at Link—faltered slightly. Then, she abruptly turned her head, shifting her gaze away. There were traces of red on her pretty face now.
She thought silently in her heart, If I continue following behind the Lord, I certainly will be able to see the dawn!
"Master, these two pieces of equipment have been cleansed." The six-winged angel Yuna handed the equipment that the Dark Sage dropped back to Link.
The black substance on the items had been expelled by the holy light. The two items now revealed their complete appearances, shining with glittering glows. They seemed rather extraordinary.
This time, the Dark Sage had dropped two pieces of equipment at one go. It was considered a pretty big surprise.
Link cast [Supreme Blessing] on these two pieces of equipment without hesitation.
Soon, the blessing of the two pieces of equipment was completed. Their attributes were also displayed before Link.
The scroll was suspended in mid-air, radiating a misty brilliance all over. Even the surrounding air was slightly distorted with it.
It was a forbidden curse scroll—[Forged?Mirror of Illusion] (Legend-grade).
Description: What makes people fearful is usually just fear itself——the wandering pursues illusions.
Effect: Using space as mirror surfaces, reflect the enemy units. Able to create reflections with combat ability similar to enemy units to participate in battle. (Greatest number of replicable enemy units: 200)
Number of times it can be used: 5/5
Note: When the level of replicated units exceeds that of the user, the reflections' capabilities will drop or even result in replication failure.
The other item was a little mirror that radiated a strong purple glow.
[Mirror of Reflection]
Grade: Epic
Introduction: When you stare at the reflection, the reflection is also staring at you.
Additional skill 1: [Reflection] (Passive Skill): User summons a reflection to participate in battle (summoned reflection has 50% of the original owner's attributes). Duration: one minute.
Cooldown: One hour.
Tsk tsk!
Both the forbidden curse scroll—[Forged?Mirror of Illusion]—and the unique piece of equipment, [Mirror of Reflection, were extremely powerful items.
Possessing [Forged?Mirror of Illusion] was equivalent to owning another group attack skill—it had the ability to turn the tables!
If he were to encounter a large number of enemies next time, he could totally make them fight their own reflections. He could also use the reflections as an army that suddenly appeared from nowhere.
The [Mirror of Reflection] was pretty good too. If Link and the reflection were to use [Death Judgment] at the same time, [Death Judgment]'s original 10% probability of causing instant death would be doubled, not to mention the utilization of some other skills!
If Link suddenly summoned a reflection of himself in the middle of battle, it would certainly catch the enemy off-guard.
Double the joy, double the surprise!
Link's gains from this siege were considerable. He had also advanced from Stage Four, Level 3 to Stage Four, Level 6.
More importantly, the [Doomsday Online] players who guarded Unfallen City also received a massive boost through this battle's tests. It wasn't just an increase in level and equipment; it also improved the people's unity and caused a surge in morale.
Moreover, many elites sprung up during the battle, performing outstandingly and fighting bravely.
Link planned on nurturing these talents after examining their dispositions.
With the [City of the Undead]'s dungeons, Link could let the elites under his command receive the highest improvement speed so as to cope with the subsequent Zerg swarm.
The Undead army's siege was like a huge training experience. If one could get through it, they would receive a massive boost in EXP, equipment, and more.
If one was unable to do so, they could only turn into withered bones.
The apocalyptic world was dangerous, but it had its own laws—only the strong stand.
Just as Link's thoughts were spinning, Fatty Lu Da suddenly brought a young man covered in blood over. The young man's head and face were filthy with dust and grime.
"Link, this is a member of the No Retreat Army. They want to request reinforcements from us!"
"No Retreat Army." Link nodded and looked at the youth.
"City Master Link, I am Liu Hao of the No Retreat Army. The No Retreat Army is currently at death's door; we hope you can quickly send people to support us!" As the youth spoke, his eyes were full of the luster of hope.
Some time ago, the No Retreat Army's people had contacted Unfallen City. They hoped to form an alliance and fend off the Undead creatures together.
When Liu Hao came forward, he originally didn't carry too much hope. He merely had the thought of making a Hail Mary effort.
After all, all the human cities and gathering grounds presently suffered the Undead army's attacks. He assumed that Unfallen City's situation wouldn't be too good either.
But when he saw how the battle at Unfallen City was actually drawing to an end already and how the [Doomsday Online] players were practically winning against the Undead creatures by a landslide, Liu Hao was extremely shocked. Hope instantly arose in his heart once again!
If we can get Unfallen City's aid, perhaps everybody can be saved! Liu Hao thought silently.
Link's relationship with the No Retreat Army in his previous life was pretty good too. He was willing to lend a helping hand to them as long as it was within his power.
Link did not reject the request, but he found it slightly odd.
According to reason, Link was the only person who established a city—Unfallen City—within Dragon City's proximity. Although the No Retreat Army had their own base, it was only a gathering point; it wasn't considered a city.
As a city recognized by the universe, Unfallen City would suffer the Undead creatures' main offense.
The pressure that the other areas in Dragon City received ought to be relatively less.
"What the No Retreat Army has met probably aren't just Undead creatures, right?" Link asked coolly.
Liu Hao nodded hard as if he had recalled something terrifying. His body trembled slightly, and tears faintly emerged in his eyes.
"City Master Link has guessed correctly. If it was just Undead, my No Retreat Army would still be able to hold on. But just as my No Retreat Army was battling the Undead army, chaos suddenly broke out at the rear. A group of terrifying monsters appeared, and they slaughtered [Doomsday Online] players—as well as elderly, women, and children!"

Chapter 115: Spiders! Bloodseeker Attacks!
"Monsters?" Lu Da wore a confused look.
It was already the tenth day of the apocalyptic world. Skeletons and Undead running wild in the world was no novel thing. What other 'monsters' could make a person have such a huge reaction?
Liu Hao's face was dreadfully pale; all the color had left his face.
"Yes, they're monsters, monsters brought by the Black Dragon Gang. They are spiders... Many... spiders!" Liu Hao shouted fearfully. His body trembled, and he started vomiting uncontrollably.
A light-green liquid gushed out of his mouth.
It was unknown whether it was bile or something else. There even seemed to be living things—which were densely packed together like a cluster of eggs—struggling on the ground.
Lu Da felt uneasy for some reason and asked, "Brother, are you okay? Do you want to let the Priest give you treatment?"
Who would've thought that Liu Hao would suddenly push Lu Da aside and stomp on the floundering egg clusters like he had gone mad while screaming?
"Kill me! Quickly kill me! It's these... It's these damn things that ruined everything! To think... I've been infected too! Quickly, kill me! I don't want to become a monster!"
A speck of surprise flashed across everyone's face. They were completely at a loss of what to do with the scene before them.
Link's eyes narrowed slightly. "Step back."
Lu Da, Yang Xuerou, and the others all moved away.
Right during these few breaths of time—when everyone was caught unaware—Liu Hao started vomiting violently. His body convulsed as if he was going to puke out his organs!
Liu Hao bowed his head with his body hunched, and his limbs twisted into deformed postures. Many blisters swelled up on the surface of his skin.
A terrifying cry sounded from Liu Hao's abdomen. Like the cold winds of hell, it scraped past everyone's ears.
Liu Hao's expression was of extreme pain, and his face contorted. Both of his hands scratched at his head and skin, leaving behind glaring and bloody streaks. His skin and flesh were turned out.
"Quick! It's too late! Kill me!"
Plap!
The lumps broke.
As minced flesh spattered, a spear-shaped limb covered in dense black hair wormed out of Liu Hao's back!
The present Liu Hao was like a ghost that had crawled out of hell; he had lost his human form.
Such a strange sight made everyone feel suffocated. A chill quietly crawled up their spines!
"..." Many people drew in a cold breath, unable to utter a single word at all.
At this moment, a wind howl abruptly sounded—it was like the roars of dragons and tigers!
Silver-colored sword energy appeared instantly and directly ripped apart Liu Hao's abdomen, causing blood clots to splatter!
Liu Hao—who was struggling violently—paused in his actions and gradually dropped to his knees. There wasn't the slightest resentment on his face. Instead, a hint of relief flashed across it.
"Thank you... Thank you, City Master Link... You must save No Retreat Army! You people... are our last hope!" Liu Hao exerted his everything to cough up the final sentence.
His face stuck to the ground. His eyes had lost their radiance and were wide open; he couldn't die in peace.
Crimson-red blood with crushed organs flowed out from the corner of his mouth. There were even fleshy bits covered in black hair amongst them. It was extremely strange and set off chills in one's heart!
"Yuna, purify his body. Purify all of us as well," commanded Link in a low voice, his countenance slightly cold.
He was the one who used his fingers as a sword just now, releasing a stream of [Spring and Autumn Sword Technique] sword energy to end Liu Hao's suffering.
Having been a human for two lifetimes, Link knew very well that Liu Hao had probably been parasitized by something.
Such a strange aberration reminded him of the Dark Sage. He subconsciously touched the [Mask of the Faceless] in his pocket.
Is the Black Dragon Gang related to the God of Evil... thought Link silently.
A holy glow lit up—the six-winged angel, Yuna, had cast [Holy Light Purification].
The golden halo of light moved like a ripple, spreading outward and sweeping across everyone.
Liu Hao's deformed corpse on the ground was burned into ashes by the golden holy flames.
Lu Da and the others also felt their minds refresh as if their souls had been cleansed.
"Brother Link, the No Retreat Army has probably encountered some kind of great terror! Are we going to rescue them?" Lu Da asked. After witnessing the earlier scene, his countenance still carried a few hints of paleness.
Expressionless, Link nodded slightly. "We are. The battle is nearing the end, and you people are responsible for cleaning up the battleground. I will make a trip to No Retreat Army's base."
There was something odd about the monsters that No Retreat Army encountered, and they had something to do with the Black Dragon Gang.
How could Link—who had a deep grudge with the Black Dragon Gang—not go? Even though he did not share a lot in common, he absolutely wouldn't allow the Black Dragon Gang to continue existing.
Luo Xingyao suddenly declared, "Lord, it's too dangerous to head there alone. I am willing to follow Lord!"
Yang Xuerou and some other elites also expressed that they wanted to accompany Link.
But Link did not want to bring too many people. Ultimately, he only took two elites—Luo Xingyao and Qiao Ruowei—and swiftly rushed to No Retreat Army's base.
Presently, in the shadows of the city.
The mass of Blood Fiend Gang members—who had laid low for a long time—also began to stir.
"Master, Link and the others have defeated the Undead army with unknown methods. They are now cleaning up the battlefield. In addition, anomalies have arisen within No Retreat Army's base. Link has gone over to support them with some of his subordinates. However, the cultivation furnace that you have picked out, Yang Xuerou, should still be in the city," reported a member wearing a crimson-red cloak.
Bloodseeker's countenance instantly changed, and great surprise flashed through his eyes. "What!? Link defeated the Undead army? There is a Stage Six abyss monster among them! How could he have done it!?"
Bloodseeker's tone was filled with astonishment. He also couldn't help muttering to himself, "Could it be that Link, this fellow, has a trump card that isn't weaker than a Stage Six monster?"
"I also do not know how Link could fend off a Stage Six monster, but the situation is indeed so."
A few droplets of cold sweat appeared on the forehead of the Blood Fiend Gang member who came to report the information. He could only respond once more in a low voice.
The crowd of Blood Fiend Gang members who heard the news also underwent violent changes in countenance.
The Stage Six monster—an absolute nightmare to humans at the present stage—was defeated?
Who could accept this news?
Everyone only calmed down a long while later.
A Blood Fiend Gang member said, "How is a Stage Six abyss creature something that can be defeated so easily? Link and company must have paid a significant price!"
"Yes, it must be that both sides sustained great losses!" Voices of agreement sounded very quickly.
"The current Unfallen City must be extremely hollow. They definitely won't be able to resist our attack!"
"Gang Leader, are we going to act now?"
"Will we attack Unfallen City or stop the team going to No Retreat Army's rescue?"
"Haha, we are finally going to taste warm, fresh blood after waiting for so long!"
Bloodseeker pondered for a moment, murmuring words like 'Black Dragon Gang,"Link,' and more. A hint of wariness flashed through his eyes.
Bloodseeker had sought refuge with a certain abyss existence and gained a firm foothold in the apocalypse's early stages by using bloody methods. Thus, he had a certain understanding of the Black Dragon Gang.
They definitely weren't a simple existence...
Bloodseeker's eyes narrowed. He said decisively, "We will attack Unfallen City. We'll let Link and the others—who have gone to act as reinforcements—battle it out with the Black Dragon Gang."
Bloodseeker was no fool. Although he had no idea how Link won against the Stage Six monster, he could tell that Link certainly still had strength spare from how this person was rushing to rescue the No Retreat Army.
Besides, what Bloodseeker truly wanted was still in Unfallen City.
Upon thinking of that woman, a hint of heat flashed across Bloodseeker's eyes like surging magma.
As for Link... If he could still return, it would be just nice for Bloodseeker to take off his head!

Chapter 116: God of Evil's Servants! Spiderhumans!
East of Dragon City, No Retreat Army's base.
The sky was starting to light up on the horizon, but this large area seemed to have been torn apart into a separate space.
The sky here was extremely dark, looking like paper dipped in black ink.
A pressure that caused people to feel depressed and restless rippled in the air faintly!
Constant screams and a certain type of insect's shouts also resounded through the darkened streets, rendering it like a ghost domain.
Unfallen City had interacted with No Retreat Army before, so both sides knew the location of each other's base.
Additionally, Link had also fought together with the No Retreat Army in his previous life. He led Luo Xingyao and Qiao Ruowei to this area very quickly.
But they saw an extremely tragic scene when they had only just reached the place. They could see huge cocoons and dense cobwebs everywhere on the streets.
Five men and women were chased by three monsters that had human bodies but twisted and terrifying heads.
These monsters had six eyes on their heads—which glowed with a faint light—and their wide-open mouths were full of fangs. What's more, eight long limbs had grown out from the side of the human bodies, causing them to be very fast.
A sound of something cutting through the wind could be heard, and a woman's head was directly pierced by the monster's spear-like limb and burst open.
The monster—which was somewhat similar to a spider—retracted its limb, licked the brain matter that remained on it, and uttered hissing and hoarse words. "Delicious... food. I want more food!"
At the same time, another man's chest was also pierced through by a monster climbing a building!
The monster slowly dragged the man—whose blood was flowing out of his mouth—closer. Its huge mouth then opened like petals, and it directly bit off the man's head.
After that, the monster pierced the man's stomach with the sharp bulge that grew from its tail.
The man's stomach quickly swelled and gave off a green shimmer. It seemed like spider eggs were being injected into the man's stomach.
A large number of sticky cobwebs flew out from the monster's mouth, quickly wrapping the man's body into a giant cocoon. The monster then stuck the giant cocoon to the surface of a building.
The remaining humans—two men and one woman—were scared out of their wits by such a sight.
Another similar monster had also blocked off the path in front of them. Six pairs of terrifying eyes—all glowing with a dim light—stared at them intensely!
The monster's sharp limbs stabbed at the remaining three humans fiercely!
The three humans' legs went soft, and they almost fell to the ground, their faces filled with despair!
"No!"
"Ah! I don't want to die!"
Upon seeing this, Link, Luo Xingyao, and Qiao Ruowei didn't have time to hesitate and think. They instantly reacted.
Golden sword energy suddenly cut through the air, illuminating the street!
Luo Xingyao also raised her bow and arrow. As she raised her slender hand slightly, several arrows whizzed toward the monster with a sharp sound of wind being cut through!
Boom!
Most of the monster's body and the few limbs—which were extending toward their targets—were directly pulverized by the golden sword energy.
The monster fell to the ground as green liquid gushed out from the broken body. There were many squirming lumps within the green pool of liquid.
These squirming lumps were small spiders crawling in all directions.
The several arrows shot by Luo Xingyao also turned into streams of light that struck another monster's black-haired body, creating several pits in its body.
The remaining two monsters screamed and gave up on the three humans in front of them. They turned around and pounced at Link and his group!
At the same time, a piece of information entered Link and company's minds.
[Spiderhuman]
Race: Lower Servant
Level: Stage Three, Level 6
Introduction: Servant of the spider god, Atlas Nakya. They are brutal and cold-blooded and will cause spiritual pollution to people with weak mentalities. They can also induce madness and degeneration.
The monsters' horrible neighs filled their ears, full of distortion and corruption.
After seeing these distorted monsters up close, Luo Xingyao and Qiao Ruowei's bodies both felt uncomfortable. It was as if their internal organs were also going to distort.
Link's countenance was still indifferent, and he contacted Yuna with his thoughts.
In the air, Yuna waved her staff quickly.
Accompanied by a soft shout, a holy halo of light suddenly bloomed in this place! "Light, drive away the evil in front of you!"
The golden light was vast and dazzling like a golden ocean as it swept toward the two Spiderhumans.
Both monsters burned with golden holy flames, screamed tragically, and were quickly burned to ashes.
[Ding! Congratulations on killing the God of Evil's Stage Three servant. Obtained 50,000 EXP!]
[Ding! Congratulations on killing the God of Evil's Stage Three servant. Obtained 50,000 EXP!]
Accompanied by the notification sounds in their ears, Link and his subordinates walked to the three humans' vicinity.
The three humans consisted of a middle-aged man, a middle-aged woman, and a young man.
The pair of middle-aged humans supported each other, their expressions slightly sluggish. They obviously hadn't recovered from the fear that they had just received.
After calming down a bit, the two of them let out a sigh of relief. Their faces were full of the joy of escaping an ordeal.
"Thank you! Thank you all!"
The remaining young man seemed to be insane. Seeing Link and the two girls approaching, he crawled backward with his hands and feet as if he saw a nightmare approaching.
The man covered his head with his hands, his body trembling unceasingly. "Don't come here... Stay away! I don't want to die! Don't eat me!"
Link noticed something was wrong and immediately ordered, "Yuna, purify them."
"Yes, Master." Yuna did not hesitate. She instantly waved her staff, and golden light streamed out.
Upon being touched by the holy light, the young man actually burned with holy flames. His face distorted to an extreme extent as he shouted in pain.
His mouth opened like petals, and many small, green spiders suddenly spurted out like a dense swarm of locusts!
But under the holy light, these spiders were burned to ashes before they even touched Link and the others!
Luo Xingyao and Qiao Ruowei felt chills in their hearts when they saw this scene.
"He has been parasitized, and his body has undergone an irreversible change. Even the holy light's purifying effects can't restore him to him normal," stated Yuna solemnly.
Link nodded slightly and then asked the middle-aged couple, who were supporting each other, about the No Retreat Army's situation.
The middle-aged couple was very grateful to hear that Link's group was here to rescue them.
The two hurriedly said, "This place is close to falling to the monsters completely. Earlier, Chief Zhao was still leading the team to fight the monsters and covering everyone so that they could evacuate."
Under the middle-aged couple's guidance, Link's group approached the remnants of the No Retreat Army.
The scene here was even more tragic than the earlier one!
The original defense lines and barriers—built with various materials—had been broken by the Undead army.
The Undead creatures with gleaming green light in their eyes stepped through the breach in the city wall and trampled on human corpses and blood, brandishing their claws and weapons!
The ground was full of limb stumps and pieces of meat. There were also [Doomsday Online] players—whose limbs were severed but had yet to die—shouting in pain in the ruins.
A man, who lost his lower body, was still hugging on to an Evil Bone Beast's huge foot even to his death. Several meters of his bloody intestines had been dragged out of his body.
Behind them, spider-like monsters covered in black hair were waving about their spear-like limbs.
A cold light flashed, and some people had their heads cut off, while some people's chests were pierced through.
These spider monsters then devoured the humans' flesh and blood with their huge mouthparts, or injected their tail bulges into the corpses, laid eggs in them, and wrapped them in spider silk!
The sight was too tragic to view!

Chapter 117: The Path of Heaven Propers! the Human Race Shall Be Eternal!
This place seemed to have turned into a bloody meat grinder.
In a gap between the Undead creatures and the aberrated spider monsters, a team of 100 or so people was still resisting the monsters stubbornly.
These [Doomsday Online] players' auras weren't weak. The vast majority of them were Stage Three powerhouses, and the few people in the lead had even reached Stage Four.
Of course, the weak wouldn't be able to stay standing until now in this situation.
But at this moment, this team was clearly on the verge of collapse. Most of the people were injured, and monsters surrounded them.
The Spiderhumans' neighs and the Undead creatures' roars resounded in everyone's ears.
Under such circumstances, faint despair appeared on almost everyone's faces.
Some cried in pain, and some angrily cursed.
"There are monsters all around. We are surrounded by them!"
"Damn the Black Dragon Gang!"
"Chief Zhao, Brother Rong is about to pass away!" a young man anxiously shouted with a faint cry in his words.
Zhao Yongkang—the No Retreat Army's leader, who was fighting with the monsters—suddenly gritted his teeth and cut apart the body of a Stage Three Undead with a single swing of the blade.
He ignored the sweat dripping from his forehead and hurriedly came forward to check Zhou Rong's injuries.
Zhao Yongkang and Zhou Rong were comrades-in-arms, and both were retired soldiers of the old world.
When the apocalypse descended, they fought through life and death together several times against the Undead monsters.
They also made a promise to wipe out all of the Undead monsters and rebuild the human homeland together.
Zhao Yongkang naturally didn't wish for this brother of his to die.
Zhou Rong was currently lying in a young man's arms and receiving treatment. He had a square and firm-looking face, but his face was green at this moment, and his breath was weak.
There was a terrible wound on his chest that cut apart his ribs, revealing his internal organs.
The flesh and blood around the wound had also turned black. The blood flowing out had a tinge of green in it—very obvious that he had also suffered some unknown infection!
The young man's hands were shining with bright white light filled with vitality, but it wasn't able to stop Zhou Rong's life from flowing away.
Zhao Yongkang grabbed Zhou Rong's large palm and said solemnly, "You must persevere! Little Wang will save you!"
Zhou Rong pursed his pale lips and spoke with difficulty. "Don't waste your energy. I know I'm going to die soon. Those spider monsters inflicted this wound, and it will cause an aberrated change in my body... When I can't hold on anymore, you must kill me immediately. I don't want to become one of those monsters that are neither human nor ghost!"
"Stop talking." Zhao Yongkang's eyes were red as he said, "Save your energy; you will definitely survive. Didn't we agree that we will wipe out these monsters together?"
Sorrow flashed in Zhou Rong's eyes. "I'm afraid I won't see that day... but the path of heaven will prosper, and the human race shall be eternal. These monsters... They won't overpower us for too long."
"Yongkang, it doesn't matter if I die. The most important thing is the safety of the elderly, children, and the majority of the common people. Have they all evacuated?"
Even when he was on the verge of death, Zhou Rong was still most concerned about the safety of the weak. This man had engraved the need to protect the weak in his soul.
Zhao Yongkang said solemnly, "Don't worry. I have sent Luo Haoyue and some old brothers to evacuate the people. For every extra second that we hold these monsters here, they will have more hope of leaving this place and surviving in this apocalypse!"
"Okay... that's good." Zhou Rong exhaled. His expression completely relaxed as if he had no regrets left.
But as his spirit slackened, the tiredness from the battle and the pain and weakness caused by his serious injuries surged up.
As his spiritual defense was defeated, pollution and degeneration in his body broke out in an instant!
"Huff huff!" Wild and heavy beast-like pants sounded, and a lot of squirming lumps appeared all over Zhou Rong's body!
With a pained expression on his face, Zhou Rong broke free from the No Retreat Army's Priest and yelled with difficulty, "Quick... kill me!"
Zhao Yongkang, the No Retreat Army's leader, gritted his teeth so hard that he almost broke them. However, he still raised the sword in his hand. "Old Zhou, go well!"
The words fell, and the light of the blade flashed past.
Most of Zhou Rong's body—which was undergoing an aberrated change—was cut into minced meat. He then landed on the ground heavily, completely dead.
The surrounding soldiers all went silent at this moment.
Zhao Yongkang resolutely turned around with red eyes. He faced the rushing Undead and the aberrated Spiderhumans with a sad expression, and his eyes were filled with endless anger.
Scenes of his memories with Zhou Rong flashed in his mind.
At the beginning of the apocalypse, the two hugged each other for warmth, struggling to survive.
After awakening their profession and leveling up, they gathered the people, established an army, and vowed to protect their homeland.
Zhou Rong's rough man words seemed to linger in his ears: "The moment we wear the military uniform, it's a lifetime thing. Retired soldiers are also soldiers!"
"Protect our homeland; kill all those undead sons of b*tches! Prioritize the evacuation of low-leveled people and children, who have no ability to protect themselves. They are the seed of fire for humankind!"
"Is this what the apocalyptic world is like?" Zhao Yongkang angrily roared in his heart as he glared at the monsters that were ocean-like in numbers.
He raised the blade in his hand high and shouted with all of his might, "Those who still have strength, charge with me! The longer we persevere, the more hope for those evacuating!"
"We shall fight to the death in exchange for the eternality of humanity!"
All of the No Retreat Army's soldiers were moved, and all of them clenched the weapons in their hands tightly, shouting non-stop.
"Fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
"No Retreat Army—rather die than retreat!"
Amidst the shouting, Zhao Yongkang led the 100-plus No Retreat Army soldiers and charged into the monsters.
At this moment, Link's group—which had just arrived—happened to hear those heroic and sonorous shouts as well!
Link's heart trembled. How similar this scene was to the one in his previous life.
In the previous life, it was also Zhao Yongkang—the leader of No Retreat Army—who led a group of elite soldiers to fight to the death instead of retreating. This gave the opportunity for most of the people to escape to the wilderness.
After living a second life, Link naturally wouldn't let this tragedy repeat itself.
He communicated with Yuna via his thoughts and asked her to use her air superiority to support the No Retreat Army's remnants as soon as possible.
At the same time, Link activated [Holy Charge] without hesitation!
The golden light flowed out from the [King's Sword, making Link shine like a god!
Like a golden sword, Link fiercely charged at the sea of monsters in front of him.
Along the way, the Undead creatures and the aberrated Spiderhumans were all crushed by the wildly dancing sword energy!
Qiao Ruowei and Luo Xingyao followed Link closely, killing the monsters with their arrows and cold dagger!
In the monsters' encirclement, Zhao Yongkang panted heavily. He had almost exhausted his stamina, but the monsters in front of him were still like a vast ocean—there was no end in sight.
Unwillingness surged in his heart.
At this moment, a golden energy ball of holy light crashed down like a meteor falling from the sky!
A large group of monsters was incinerated by the holy light!
This scene caused everyone in the No Retreat Army to be dazed for a while, their faces full of surprise!
They looked up at the Seraphim in the sky.
The holy halo emitting from Yuna's body and her perfect beauty caused many people's eyes to become slightly dazed. Thoughts of worship even appeared in their minds.
"Is this an angel?"
"Have angels come to protect us?"
But someone soon recognized Yuna and said, "This should be the summoned creature of Unfallen City's City Master Link. They have probably come to help!"
"We have reinforcements?!" The No Retreat Army soldiers' spirits instantly shook!

Chapter 118: Olive Branch! Mirror Image!
At this moment, Zhao Yongkang became slightly out of sorts. He knew that the City Master of Unfallen City, Link, had three extremely strong summoned creatures.
Link's previous battle achievement of strongly suppressing Thunder Palace, World Society, and other gangs had quickly spread throughout Dragon City.
But when Zhao Yongkang saw Yuna, he still couldn't help feeling shocked. This extremely holy and powerful being was actually someone's summoned creature—this was really hard for him to imagine!
"He has an angel as a follower. What kind of might is this!? How powerful is this City Master Link?" Zhao Yongkang sighed, and the will to fight was rekindled in his heart.
The reinforcements were already here, so how could he let himself die at this place? He certainly had to fight hard and live on with Zhou Rong's share!
"Kill!" Zhao Yongkang continued to wield the long blade in his hand, squeezing every ounce of potential and strength in his body. The blade's light became more and more flaming!
In the Undead army.
A figure stood on the head of an Evil Bone Beast that looked like a mountain of bones.
It was an Evil General, but its rank didn't reach Stage Five. It was a Stage Four, Level 9 existence instead. He condescendingly watched the No Retreat Army soldiers—who were fighting—and Link's group, which was coming to their rescue, his face full of mockery.
"This group of ants really is stubbornly resisting. No matter, I'm tired of playing. Abomination Legion, eat all of them!"
As the Evil General's words fell, the ten-plus Abominations—which were originally at the Undead army's rear all rushed forward.
The Abominations devoured a large number of human corpses, remnants of human limbs, and the residual limbs of aberrated monsters along the way.
This made these ten-plus Abominations' bodies even larger and more terrifying.
And at the highest point of a building in the distance.
Doctor Ghost, Black Dragon, and a few Black Dragon Gang members all saw Link's group, which came to support the No Retreat Army.
"Oh? That kid, Link, actually came? I originally planned to find him after completing the plan and settle the scores with him, but this kid came to my doorstep himself instead. This is alright too. I shall catch them all in one net." Doctor Ghost grinned viciously, a faint light flashing in his eyes.
Black Dragon had a pale and sickly-looking face. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, drawing out a sinister smile. "I sensed a similarity in his aura. That kid called Link is very interesting..."
Doctor Ghost's heart shook slightly. Similarity? Could it be that Link is also able to communicate with an indescribable existence?
Doctor Ghost felt a faint sense of uneasiness in his heart and said: "Clan Leader, we have almost finished collecting the data. Ordinary individuals can't bear the Master's power. Distortion signifies madness, and even if they have aberrated and transformed, their combat power still can't meet our requirements."
"The candidate most suitable for being transformed into an aberrated weapon has been found. It's better if we start the transformation as soon as possible. Let's just leave the Spiderhuman Priest to finish the things here."
Hearing these words, Black Dragon nodded slightly, and the smile on his face became frightening.
The reason he and Doctor Ghost chose No Retreat Army as their target first—except to sacrifice a large number of lives to the God of Evil, who wove a giant net in the fantasy dream—was to find a suitable individual to carry the God of Evil's reward and power. They wanted to create a controllable and powerful aberrated weapon.
After all, the God of Evil's power was full of madness and depravity.
Even the current Black Dragon also couldn't fully accept the God of Evil's power. He might even fall into complete madness if he tried to do so.
It was just like how those humans—which were contaminated and aberrated by the Spiderhumans—simply couldn't bear it.
And now, Doctor Ghost had already collected the data on the distortion of humans when affected by the Spiderhumans' pollution. Hence, they didn't need to stay here now.
As for Link, even if he could survive the monster army, there would still be the Black Dragon Gang members that had transformed into Spiderhuman Priests. These Spiderhuman Priests were responsible for obliterating the remaining humans.
"Start the transformation then. I am really looking forward to it..." Black Dragon put on his hood again, turned away, and left the place with Doctor Ghost.
In the ocean of monsters, Link felt something in his heart, and he subconsciously looked toward the distant buildings.
There was a strong, depraved, and twisted aura over there!
But he quickly withdrew his attention, swung the [King's Sword] in his hand, and burst out with waves of sword energy, slicing the Undead creatures and Spiderhumans before him into powder!
With the addition of Link's group and Yuna's restraint effects on Undead creatures and Spiderhumans, the pressure the No Retreat Army faced was instantly reduced greatly. They now had a chance to catch a breath.
"Thank you, City Master Link, for putting yourself in danger to help us. The No Retreat Army's people will definitely remember this deed in our hearts!" During a brief moment of respite in the battle, Zhao Yongkang—the leader of the No Retreat Army—expressed his gratitude to Link.
Link just nodded and calmly stated, "The No Retreat Army is worthy of my help. After dealing with the monsters here, Chief Zhao is welcome to bring the No Retreat Army to my Unfallen City."
"I know that Chief Zhao wants to drive away the monsters and restore peace to the people. Unfallen City also hopes to build an everlasting city in the apocalyptic world and preserve the seed of humanity."
Link threw an olive branch[1] to Zhao Yongkang, or rather, to the entire No Retreat Army.
After all, Unfallen City would become one of the human home cities after today.
When order descended, the territory belonging to Unfallen City would expand. No overly powerful monsters would appear nearby, becoming suitable for human habitation and development.
This also meant that Unfallen City—which was close to saturation—could absorb more people into its population and enter a stage of rapid development.
In the apocalypse, human life was like grass. But the most indispensable things for development and prosperity were also human lives and a large population.
Naturally, it would be best if a force like No Retreat Army could join Unfallen City at this time.
In addition, Link had contact with the No Retreat Army in his previous life. Thus, he knew that some of them had extraordinary professions and potential.
For example, Zhao Yongkang—the leader of No Retreat Army—was a Diamond-grade [Shadow Blade Hero]. If he was properly nurtured, he would definitely be a great help in the future.
Zhao Yongkang pondered for a while when he heard this, but he did not immediately reply. "I need to consider this matter and ask my brothers-in-arms for their opinions before making a decision."
Link just nodded slightly. He wasn't in a hurry.
Unfallen City would become one of the few human home cities, and since it possessed the City of the Undead, Unfallen City had great growth potential. He believed that Zhao Yongkang would make the right choice in the end.
As the two talked, the ten-plus meat mountain-like Abominations were already approaching, emanating a horrible stench!
Their huge bodies made the ground and debris shake, stirring up awe in those who witnessed this.
The No Retreat Army's soldiers secretly gritted their teeth and prepared to fight.
Link raised his sword-like eyebrows slightly and directly took out a skill scroll—which he obtained from killing the Dark Sage not long ago—from his arms.
Legend-grade Forbidden Curse: [Forged?Mirror of Illusion]!
After the scroll was used, a cracking sound could be heard. It was as if a certain restriction was broken!
A terrifying and vast aura abruptly broke free from the scroll and swept through the area!
The scroll bloomed with extremely bright purple light—mysterious and deep.
Space itself was like a water surface, producing circles of ripples.
Pieces of space mirrors then appeared, and these mirrors reflected the strongest 200 individuals in the monster army!
The mirror images soon stepped out of the mirrors, causing everyone from the No Retreat Army and all of the monsters to become dazed!

Chapter 119: [Spiderhuman Priest]! Fresh Troops!
"What's this!"
"Two hundred more monsters?!"
"These monsters are all summoned by City Master Link? It's simply incredible!"
"Such a huge wave of magic power and using space itself as a mirror... This is a forbidden curse, right?! City Master Link can actually release forbidden curse-level spells?"
The soldiers of No Retreat Army all widened their eyes and exclaimed.
With the 200 mirror images' appearance, a terrifying aura surged here, making people's hearts tremble!
Among the mirror images were Evil Bone Beasts—which were huge and resembled a mountain of bones. There were also stitched monsters—the Abominations that dragged huge chain axes as their weapons!
There were also Undead Archers that held bone bows, and even the Evil General—which was a Stage Four, Level 9 existence—had been copied!
The lineup was practically luxurious!
Each mirror image burst out with Stage Four or Stage Three peak aura, standing among the Undead creatures and aberrated monsters.
Learning from the experience of fighting the Dark Sage, Link only chose to replicate the Undead creatures when he used the Mirror of Illusion Forbidden Curse scroll. He excluded the aberrated monsters.
This was to avoid the monsters—replicated via the mirrors—getting out of control if they were contaminated by pollution and madness.
Since Link's own attributes far exceeded those of the same stage, the strength of the replicated Stage Three and Stage Four monsters was almost the same as the original.
These 200 monsters appeared like heavenly soldiers that descended from the sky!
At this moment, even the Evil General sitting atop an Evil Bone Beast's head couldn't help but tremble in his heart. His eyes also twitched fiercely!
"How can a human being perform such powerful magic?" The Evil General roared in its heart, its eyes filled with surprise.
The Undead creatures were all stunned too, and their soul fires trembled violently.
Even the aberrated monsters' movements stagnated, having sensed a certain threat!
Link naturally wouldn't be polite with them. With a thought, the mirror images started to attack the monsters.
The Abomination Legion mirror image faced off against the Undead Abomination Legion.
The Evil General mirror image was continuously killing the aberrated creatures around it. The great attribute gap resulted in almost no monsters being able to endure a single attack from it.
With the addition of this new, powerful force, the hearts of the No Retreat Army's soldiers were excited. They even faintly saw the hope of turning defeat into victory!
With brightly shining tiger eyes, Zhao Yongkang—the leader of the No Retreat Army—looked at Link's back, which was as straight as a spear.
This young man in front of him was powerful beyond his imagination!
Link could even cast such a powerful and terrifying spell that could reverse the flow of war. Who could guess how many powerful trump cards he actually still had?
At this moment, Link's tall and straight figure in that fluttering white robe looked extremely tall in Zhao Yongkang's eyes. This figure even became a little unfathomable to Zhao Yongkang!
In this extremely dangerous apocalypse, if one wanted to gain a foothold and build a stable homeland, they definitely needed to be supported by combat power.
It might be a good choice to follow Link and join Unfallen City.
Zhao Yongkang's heart had already faintly made its choice.
And this was all in Link's expectation. If he wanted to attract Zhao Yongkang to join him, he naturally had to show his own bargaining chips appropriately.
"Humble human beings actually dare to resist stubbornly! Die!" The Undead army's general, the Evil General, had a face full of anger. He roared and jumped down the Evil Bone Beast before rushing toward the No Retreat Army.
A strong aura of death suddenly surged here!
Gushing green light seemed to have turned this place into the kingdom of the dead!
The hearts of the humans turned slightly cold. Just the pressure released by the Stage Four, Level 9 Undead creature alone had already made many Stage Three [Doomsday Online] players feel a sense of suffocation!
Fortunately, golden light rippled through the humans here as Yuna waved her staff, quickly dispelling the discomfort in their bodies.
Zhao Yongkang's expression was cold. With just a cold snort, he strode out and headed forward to face the Evil General directly.
Among the aberrated monsters, a path was suddenly created as they separated.
A hideous spider with a huge body that was several meters high slowly walked out. It was hard to imagine that human beings would be aberrated into such a shape.
The spider was covered with black hair and had eight sharp, long legs that left many ravines on the ground as the legs dragged across.
On the spider's body was an aberrated human head with six eyes, looking extremely sinister. This caused the hearts of those who saw this to tremble. The spider's twisted body exuded an aura of corruption and impurity.
If one stared at it long enough, even Stage Three [Doomsday Online] players would also become polluted. Some crazy whispers would then sound in their ears.
The rank of this aberrated monster wasn't low. It had reached Stage Four, Level 8, approaching Stage Five!
This was the [Spiderhuman Priest] transformed by the Black Dragon Gang. It had received more power from the Spider God. Hence, it became more powerful and more distorted than the ordinary aberrated Spiderhumans!
The Spiderhuman Priest's six pairs of eyes stared at Link, a faint absorptive light shooting from its eyes. Its fangs protruded from its mouth, causing it to be unable to close its huge mouth. Green viscous liquid also continuously dripped from it.
"You are Link, right... Doctor asked me to unscrew your head from your body! Your flesh and blood should be delicious!"
Link just glanced at the Spiderhuman Priest coldly, his expression extremely indifferent.
Just this glance alone made the Spiderhuman Priest's body stiffen abruptly!
The Spiderhuman Priest vaguely seemed to see a huge, indescribable figure appear behind Link.
Great, crazy, extremely chaotic, and indescribable!
The figure only appeared for a moment, like an illusion, but it made the Spiderhuman Priest— who had been rewarded by the Spider God and became one of the God of Evil's servants—shudder and fearful!
Mysteries often succumbed to higher mysteries!
Chills, as well as embarrassment for being shocked by Link, appeared in the Spiderhuman Priest's heart. After all, as a God's servant, it also wanted face...
The Spiderhuman Priest asked in a deep voice, "You also seem to have a distorted aura too. Could it be that you are also a believer of a certain great existence?"
Link was non-committal, but sword energy surged all over his body, making him look like an ancient sword fairy descending to this world. His white robe also loudly fluttered in the wind!
The [Spring and Autumn Sword Technique] was instantly launched!
Link knew that the distorted aura mentioned by this Spiderhuman Priest probably referred to the [Mask of the Faceless]. After all, it was also an item from an unnamed God of Evil. In terms of status, it would only be higher than this Spiderhuman Priest!
The next moment, the surging sword energy swept toward the Spiderhuman Priest like a mighty river!
The air exploded as if the world was about to be torn apart!
The Spiderhuman Priest's heart trembled violently. "How can a Stage Four human burst out with such powerful sword energy?"
It was surprised, and its heart was full of doubts. However, no one answered it; it could only wave its huge feet in a hurry, trying to resist the attack.
But Link could even defeat Stage Six monsters now. His attributes far exceeded those of the same stage.
Even though the Spiderhuman Priest was more powerful than ordinary Stage Four monsters, it would still die under this sword energy!
In an instant, residual limbs flew all about, and a Stage Four, Level 8 aberrated monster turned into pieces of meat that flew everywhere!
All the No Retreat Army soldiers who saw this scene all became dazed as if they saw a miracle. Their mouths opened so wide that an egg could be stuffed inside!

Chapter 120: Reverse the Flow of Battle! Domain-Type Secret Treasure!
"Hey! Could it be that City Master Link's profession is Sword Immortal?"
"The power of his sword energy is terrifying! Is this really the power that a Stage Four powerhouse can release?"
"They are both Stage Four, but City Master Link can kill a monster of the same stage so easily! His combat power is terrifying!"
Exclamations continuously sounded, and the hearts of the No Retreat Army's soldiers were full of shock. The words 'I am shocked' were practically written on their faces!
On the other side, both the Evil General and Zhao Yongkang—who were fighting each other—were also unable to keep their calm upon seeing this scene.
Zhao Yongkang sucked in a cold breath, feeling that Link was unfathomable even more deeply!
Is he still a Summoner? If someone told me that Link's profession was the [Sword Immortal] hidden profession, I would be willing to believe it.
Having a Holy Angel as a summoned creature had already made Link the envy of countless people. Now, even Link's personal strength is so great too! Is this what it means to 'wear other people's shoes and leave others nowhere to go?'
He is simply not leaving a way for others to survive!
The Evil General's eyes twitched even more. As a general who led an army of tens of thousands of Undead, a human ant actually made him feel terrified.
What's more, the Evil General even thought of retreating in his heart!
After killing the Spiderhuman Priest, Link turned his cold eyes toward the Evil General.
With Link's arrival, the situation—which was originally extremely desperate for the No Retreat Army—had been reversed in an instant!
At the same time, Unfallen City.
The battlefield had nearly been cleaned up.
The remaining Undead had been completely wiped out by the [Doomsday Online] players, and the equipment and materials that dropped all over the battlefield were also brought back to the city.
And just when everyone relaxed and wanted to catch a breath.
On the distant horizon was another burst of smoke and dust.
With the increase in levels, the [Doomsday Online] players' attributes had increased. Their vision range was also far beyond that of ordinary people. Hence, they quickly discovered this abnormality.
The [Doomsday Online] player standing guard on the city wall immediately sounded the alarm and shouted at the same time. "There is a group of people approaching Unfallen City!"
Luo Xinghe, Fatty Lu Da, Yang Xuerou, God Devourer Ant, Star Moon, and the other people responsible for staying behind and protecting the city soon gathered on the city wall.
Figures in scarlet robes entered their sights!
The one in the lead was the hideous-looking Bloodseeker!
"We have only just dealt with the monster siege! I am afraid that the Blood Demon Gang came here at this time to take advantage of this and invade us!"
Luo Xinghe narrowed his eyes slightly and tightly gripped the long blade in his hand. He already had a bloody history with Bloodseeker in the first place. Upon seeing how Bloodseeker now wanted to take their fruits of labor from them, his chest became full of anger!
Yang Xuerou and the others' faces were also a little gloomy.
At this moment, a strong bloody scent continued to spread through the air, digging straight into everyone's noses. It made them feel like vomiting.
And following the arrival of Bloodseeker's group, a bloody red-color even faintly glowed in the sky itself. It looked as though the sky was dyed red with blood!
An aura of horror swept through the land, filled with bloodiness and murderous intent!
More than 1,000 people from the Blood Demon Gang had followed Bloodseeker here.
What's more, their auras weren't weak. Most of them exuded a Stage Three aura, and there were even many Stage Four powerhouses among them!
Their leader, Bloodseeker, had reached Stage Four, Level 10. He only lacked the final breakthrough to advance to Stage Five!
This was a force that couldn't be underestimated!
The thousand-plus people were staring at Unfallen City. Their eyes were greedy and fierce, looking like a pack of hungry wolves with eyes that shone with a green light.
Bloodseeker even directly stared at Yang Xuerou, who was on the city wall. His gaze seemed like he wanted to swallow her alive, causing disgust to arise in those who saw his eyes!
Blood energy wafted from a Stage Four Blood Demon Gang member's body and rose all the way to the sky.
The blood energy condensed in the air, turning into a blood-colored skull that was several meters tall in size!
The skull's jaw opened and closed, letting out a hoarse and harsh shout. "The Blood Demon Gang has arrived. Shouldn't you guys hurry up and open the city gates to welcome us into the city? If the gates aren't open within ten seconds, don't blame the Blood Demon Gang for slaughtering the city with bloody means!"
Upon hearing this, how could the [Doomsday Online] players in Unfallen City possibly still have a good expression on their faces?
However, they had all heard of the Blood Demon Gang's murderous name and reputation.
The Blood Demon Gang was a group of lunatics that was extremely cruel and unscrupulous in order to achieve their goals. Many people still felt fearful of them.
After the words fell, the blood-colored skull did not dissipate. It began the countdown instead. "10... 9... 8..."
On the city wall.
Luo Xinghe's eyes were extremely cold, and the green veins on his forehead throbbed wildly.
"The Blood Demon Gang is looking for death!" He snorted coldly, and killing intent burst out from his body!
Yang Xuerou and the others' eyes were extremely cold too!
The [Territory of Thunder]—which had already converged and disappeared—suddenly activated again!
It should be known that Link had already made preparations before he left. In order to prevent other forces from taking advantage of his absence, not only did he leave God Devourer Ant and Star Moon behind, but he also left the Legend-grade domain-type secret treasure—[Bead of Thunder Punishment]—in the city. It could be used at any time to deal with unexpected events!
As the domain was activated, winds and clouds instantly surged!
The sky suddenly became extremely gloomy, dark clouds pressed down upon the city, and silver lightning flashed in the clouds!
The pulsating electric light formed an extremely vast symbol, covering the entire Unfallen City!
The lightning snakes continued to dance in the sky like they were the fury of heaven itself!
Everyone in the Blood Demon Gang that was close to Unfallen City was immediately affected by the [Territory of Thunder].
Hostile units that entered the domain would have their movement speed reduced by 40% and their defense reduced by 30%. They also had a probability of being struck by lightning, triggering paralyzing and silencing effects!
Electric light flashed all over them, and their bodies became stiff.
But Bloodseeker had been watching the events ongoing in Unfallen City all along, so he wasn't surprised by this domain. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, drawing out an amused smile.
"Small tricks! The countdown is over; prepare to accept the Blood Demon Gang's anger!"
Bloodseeker took out a bloody dagger. The dagger looked as if it were carved from a blood-colored gem, and the handle was a bat with its wings spread out. There seemed to be flowing inside the dagger, looking very strange!
As the dagger was taken out, a vast and evil aura instantly spread out! Wails and cries of countless creatures also seemed to resound suddenly!
Bloodstains emerged from the feet of Bloodseeker and quickly expanded toward his surroundings!
Soon, everyone in the Blood Demon Gang seemed to be standing on a bloody and muddy swamp. Scarlet mud surged through the swamp, and bloody palms stuck out from it as if they wanted to pull people into hell!
This was obviously some kind of domain!
As the domain spread out, everyone in the Blood Demon Gang was no longer affected by the [Territory of Thunder].
"Domain-type secret treasure!" Surprise flashed in Xue Linglong's eyes. It was apparent that she didn't expect Bloodseeker to have a domain-type secret treasure as well. This was because such secret treasures were extremely rare.
But even when Bloodseeker's domain-type secret treasure appeared, Xue Linglong and the others didn't become fearful.
The current Unfallen City hadn't suffered too many casualties in the battle with the Undead army.
Any force that wanted to snatch away the fruits of their labor would be left with regret!
The close combat elites, such as Luo Xinghe and Xue Linglong, were already prepared to head out of the city to fight the enemy.
As for God Devourer Ant—who was at the side—it turned into a stream of black light and directly pounced at Bloodseeker!
Star Moon also changed into Chimera form. Its dragon-like mouths were wide open; three different types of energies—each of different attributes—constantly converged and was compressed into three energy balls!

Chapter 121: Iron Plate! Blood-Red Mire!
The three different energies—darkness, flame, and corrosion—soon intertwined and turned into a huge beam of light, lasing toward the people from the Blood Demon Gang!
Star Moon—who was in its Chimera form—proudly stood at the top of the city like a terrifyingly powerful mobile turret. An incomparably fierce aura swirled around it, seeming like it was powerful enough to destroy the world!
Star Moon was the God of Divine Wrath's twin brother. As it leveled up, the destructive power within its body was gradually revealed!
Such a horrifying energy beam was sufficient to destroy mountains. Even Bloodseeker's eyes couldn't help but twitch!
When the Blood Demon Gang members felt the destructive power, many of their faces turned pale. Some even trembled and had goosebumps pop up all over their skin!
Bloodseeker's face darkened as he waved the [Blood Domain Dagger].
This dagger was a reward from a certain existence in the abyss. It was exceedingly extraordinary. Under Bloodseeker's hands, a heinous scarlet light instantly bloomed from it.
It was as if the world was dyed red!
Numerous bloodied hands reached up from the blood-red mire beneath their feet, converging and overlapping with each other.
An incomparably huge, blood-red hand suddenly appeared.
The giant palm emitted an overpowering scent of blood and an aura of fury. It then collided with the energy beam that came crashing down on it!
Boom!
A terrifying roar—like thunder and lightning—resounded between heaven and earth!
Bloodseeker's body flew backward, and his hideous face was pale! Even the hand holding the dagger trembled!
Bloodseeker was deeply shocked! He hadn't expected that a mere summoned creature of Link could release such terrifying power—strong enough to blow him, who was almost Stage Five, off his feet!
At this moment, the God Devourer Ant arrived! A violent sonic boom could be heard in the air!
Under a Stage Three Blood Demon Gang member's terrified gaze, God Devourer Ant's black forelimbs swung out like a human's!
This gang member—who was rather powerful himself—couldn't even put up the slightest resistance and was then directly blown to pieces!
Limbs and flesh were scattered all over the ground. God Devourer Ant did not stop. It turned to attack another person instead!
Boom!
Another Blood Demon Gang member was trashed by the God Devourer Ant. Given its might, nobody could stop it at all!
A savage aura radiated around the God Devourer Ant, just like an ancient savage and ferocious beast that arrived at this era. It smashed enemies with a wave of its forelimbs, going on a killing spree!
This scene caused the Blood Demon Gang members' expressions to stiffen. Chills fiercely ran up from the soles of their feet, almost freezing their souls!
"This is Link's summoned creature? How can this monster be so powerful?!"
"It crushed a Stage Three powerhouse with just one attack. How is this possible?!"
"They've just fought an army of Undead. Shouldn't Unfallen City's combat forces be greatly undermined?"
Many of the Blood Demon Gang members looked like they fell into an ice cave. Their earlier expressions of greed and viciousness were gone and had turned into expressions of fear and trepidation.
A Stage Four Blood Demon Gang powerhouse had a cold glint in his eyes, and he was filled with murderous intent!
He was not going to let this fierce summoned creature kill any more of his people. If this continued, it would seriously bring down the Blood Demon Gang's morale.
He sternly shouted at the God Devourer Ant, "Beast, how dare you behave so recklessly in front of the Blood Demon Gang? Are you courting death!?"
He swung a staff inlaid with skulls rapidly. This Blood Demon Gang powerhouse was filled with raging fury!
Sticky blood gushed out from the blood-red mire to form a blood-stained axe. This axe ruthlessly slashed at God Devourer Ant with a terrifying might!
The complex and mysterious blue-purple lines around God Devourer Ant's body—which seemed to be filled with the purest truth between heaven and earth—suddenly became dazzling as they bloomed brilliantly!
Instead of retreating, God Devourer Ant dashed toward the blood axe!
Kra kra kra!
A sound that made one's teeth tingle was heard!
The blood-stained axe shattered inch by inch. It simply could not resist the God Devourer Ant's might!
A dark ray of light then flashed past, and God Devourer Ant delivered a brazen blow. The air exploded as if space was wailing!
The head of the Blood Demon Gang's Stage Four powerhouse instantly exploded like a ripe watermelon. Yellow-white brain matter was scattered in all directions!
The group of Blood Demon Gang members drew in a cold breath at the same time as fear and horror filled their eyes!
Good heavens! Even a Stage Four powerhouse couldn't fight this ferocious beast and was blown to pieces with one blow!
Who wouldn't be frightened upon facing this situation?
They originally wanted to take advantage of the fact that Unfallen City's forces would be greatly undermined after fighting the Undead army to destroy and take over Unfallen City.
Who would've thought that they would run into an iron plate?!
The City Master, Link, had gone to rescue the No Retreat Army. Who would've expected there to be such a horrible existence in the city?!
It simply did not make sense for a summoned creature to fight them till their hearts trembled!
A deep sense of apprehension flashed across Bloodseeker's eyes! He had previously used his blood shadow clone to observe the battle between Unfallen City and the Undead army. Hence, he knew that Link had several extraordinary summoned creatures.
Only when he faced them did he realize that these summoned creatures were exceptionally powerful!
Link's summoned creatures clearly emitted Stage Four auras, but their strength was comparable to a Stage Five!
Moreover, Xue Linglong, Luo Xinghe, and the others had just led a group of elite players into battle!
As the number of dead and wounded kept increasing, the Blood Demon Gang could only struggle to hold on with the blood-red mire beneath their feet!
Even Bloodseeker had cold feet. He regretted getting himself involved in such a messy situation!
Luo Xinghe charged into battle with murderous intent. He swung the longsword, launching a blazing sword ray that slashed toward Bloodseeker! "Bloodseeker, today will be the day you die!"
Bloodseeker waved his dagger as he received this powerful and overwhelming blow. He was deeply shocked.
Luo Xinghe—whom he had looked down on in the past—had been promoted to Stage Four and had amazing battle power!
God Devourer Ant also imparted a blow. The horrifying might tore Bloodseeker's robe into pieces, and it blew up his left shoulder like cotton wool!
If Bloodseeker hadn't avoided it in time, his head would've exploded!
Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and he looked terrible. But in the next moment, Bloodseeker covered his face and let out incomparably manic laughter! "You forced me to do this! I must destroy this Unfallen City today!"
His gaze was grim, and a scary wave emanated from around him!
Luo Xinghe was taken aback. He could feel the blood in his body going out of control as if it were about to rush out of his body!
The blood-red mire that the Blood Demon Gang was standing on started to change as well!
The bloodied hands reached out to the [Doomsday Online] players in Unfallen City and grabbed their ankles in an attempt to drag them into the mire!
"Something is not right; withdraw!" Xue Linglong and the others were instantly alerted and withdrew from the blood-red mire.
But the Blood Demon Gang members were not as lucky. They were standing in the middle of the domain and had nowhere to run to.
People continued to get swallowed into the mire. Howls and wails sounded like the sea waves!
Bloodseeker's face revealed a twisted smile. As the blood-red mire continued to devour the Blood Demon Gang members, his aura became stronger. It was as though he was about to reach Stage Five!

Chapter 122: Demon Slaying! Altar of the Evil Divinity!
"Bloodseeker's aura is getting stronger. He is devouring the energy and blood of those people to strengthen himself!" said Xue Linglong with a cold expression on her pretty face.
Luo Xinghe gripped the blade in his hand. His knuckles were white due to clenching the sword so tightly, and his face was full of killing intent. He sneered. "What a beast! You won't even spare your own people!"
"You won't be able to laugh later." Bloodseeker just sneered, his hot gaze greedily sweeping over the delicate faces of Xue Linglong, Yang Xuerou, and the other women.
All these women would be his furnaces!
The blood-red domain beneath his feet seemed to turn into a giant mouth that devoured flesh and blood.
Blood Demon Gang members were dragged into the mire one by one and turned into nourishment, which Bloodseeker used to enhance his strength!
Even a Stage Four Blood Demon Gang powerhouse was pulled into the mire by a bloodied hand around his ankle.
This Blood Demon Gang powerhouse's face was full of fear. He desperately wanted to break free, but he was horrified when he realized that he was unable to call upon any of his strength at all.
The blood surging in his veins gushed out uncontrollably from the pores all over his body, turning him bloody!
"How did it become like this?! Gang Leader, didn't you say that you would lead us to domination? How can you do this to us?" In a daze, this Blood Demon Gang powerhouse seemed to have suddenly realized something. He exclaimed, "There's something wrong with the blood brew you rewarded us with!"
The reason the Blood Demon Gang members increased in levels far faster than the average person was that they drank the blood brew that Bloodseeker had bestowed to them.
When they drank the blood brew, they didn't need to fight with monsters. The sacrifice of other people's lives would give them strength. Nobody was able to walk away from this temptation.
However, the rewards had been secretly marked with a price!
Bloodseeker sniffed and glanced at his subordinate. He stuck out his scarlet tongue and licked his lips, smiling cruelly! "The blood brew is both a gift and a curse. Don't struggle. The reason you exist is to become my reserve food. After devouring your energy and blood, we will fuse into one. Domination is naturally not a problem."
The face of the Blood Demon Gang's Stage Four powerhouse was filled with resentment as he was quickly dragged into the blood-red mire and lost his life!
In just a few moments, hundreds of Blood Demon Gang members were swallowed up and turned into blood vapor, which gushed into Bloodseeker's body!
Bloodseeker's face was filled with intoxication and enjoyment, and the aura emanating from his body grew stronger and stronger.
He broke through to Stage Five... Stage Five, Level 2... Stage Five, Level 3!
The shoulder—which was shattered by God Devourer Ant—was also healed!
Bloodseeker stared at Xue Linglong and the others and then smiled evilly. "You're next!"
What surprised Bloodseeker was the lack of fear in Xue Linglong and the other people's expressions. There was only coldness and killing intent!
Could it be that these people still have an ace up their sleeve? Just as Bloodseeker thought about this, the roar of thunder grew louder around him!
Vast heavenly might spread out, making one's heart tremble!
Bloodseeker snapped his head up, only to see the dense clouds in the sky becoming darker and deeper. Lightning flashed in the clouds as if some kind of horrible storm was brewing!
A monstrous pressure descended. Even Bloodseeker—who had been promoted to Stage Five—felt vaguely suffocated!
This was the [Bead of Thunder Punishment]'s main skill, [Heaven's Wrath Thunder Punishment]!
Link was gone, but he left behind the [Bead of Thunder Punishment].
At this moment, God Devourer Ant and Star Moon activated the power of thunder within the sacred bead, releasing the Legend-grade forbidden curse—[Heaven's Wrath Thunder Punishment]!
At the same moment, Bloodseeker was alerted to the impending disaster, and he prepared to flee!
The roar of thunder shook the sky and the earth! The whole sky was illuminated by the dazzling lightning!
This was the might of the heavens—Heaven's Wrath Thunder Punishment!
Under the heavens' mighty power, all living creatures were insignificant like dust and ants.
A thunder snake burst forth. Its blue and purple lightning enveloped the area, turning it into a domain of thunder!
A black thunder dragon with countless thunderbolts and a strong destructive aura also violently tore through the clouds and exited roaring!
At this moment, heaven and earth seemed to tremble. The glaringly bright lightning seemed to be destroying everything!
Bloodseeker's eyes widened, and disbelief filled his face. "This is a Forbidden Curse!"
He was terrified. Even though Bloodseeker became a Stage Five existence, he couldn't fight against a Legend-grade Forbidden Curse!
Bloodseeker turned into a blood shadow, frantically fleeing into the distance!
However, there was no way to escape from the thunder's range!
Serpents of thunder pounded his body. The black thunder dragon opened its bloody mouth—made by the power of thunder—and bit Bloodseeker!
Bloodseeker's face was filled with unwillingness. He hissed and roared, but his voice was completely masked by the sound of thunder!
He looked like a comical pantomime actor being swallowed by the lightning!
It took a long while for calm to return to this place. The wildly dancing thunder snakes disappeared, leaving only a charred black pit with a broken, unrecognizable body.
People close to the deep pit suddenly felt the blood in their body going out of control. They also saw Bloodseeker's broken body slowly crawling up!
"He's not dead?" The crowd of [Doomsday Online] players from Unfallen City was a little surprised.
"Haha! The thunder cannot destroy me, but I will destroy you all!" Bloodseeker roared with false bravado.
Just when the crowd thought that Bloodseeker was going to strike, he instead turned into a blood shadow and fled into the distance!
It was a bluff!
Bloodseeker didn't fall to the thunderstorm thanks to a dagger, which was awarded to him by the abyss existence he served.
Although he survived the thunderstorm, he suffered heavy injuries. His strength had dropped to Stage Four, and he was in a pathetic state!
However, Luo Xinghe moved faster than Bloodseeker. The cold gleam of a blade flashed, and Bloodseeker was beheaded!
That day, the Blood Demon Gang was completely exterminated!
Luo Xinghe finally had his revenge. He laughed loudly, but his eyes were rimmed with red!
Bloodseeker had killed his entire family. Though the enemy was now dead, those who had died could never come back!
A bloody dagger—covered with cracks—fell to the ground as Bloodseeker fell!
Xue Linglong said, "This is the secret treasure that Bloodseeker used to activate the domain. It seems to be an extraordinary piece of equipment, but now it's broken."
"Wait for the City Master to return; then, let him take a look."
No Retreat Army's base.
The vast Undead army and a large number of mutated monsters had been reduced into corpses that were strewn all over the ground.
After Link killed the Evil General, the Undead army—which had lost its leader—was crushed by the summoned reflections and the No Retreat Army's warriors.
The Evil General also dropped a pair of Diamond-grade boots. Zhao Yongkang gave them to Link.
The No Retreat Army did not raise any objections. After all, if Link hadn't come, they wouldn't have been able to keep their lives, let alone gain EXP and equipment.
These hundred-plus people were truly grateful to Link and revered him from the bottom of their hearts!
However, a strong aura of depravity and impurity still swirled around the place they were at. The sky was also still gloomy, indicating that the crisis had not been completely resolved!
Link turned his gaze toward a towering building in the distance and said grimly, "The sacrificial altar used by the Black Dragon Gang should be over there. If the altar is not completely destroyed, I'm afraid this place will become even more twisted. It might even become a breeding ground for mutated monsters."
With those words, Link walked toward the building.
The future expansion of Unfallen City would definitely include Dragon City.
The evil gods couldn't be allowed to exist on the edge of their territory!

Chapter 123: Recuperate! March Towards the Darkness!
No Retreat Army's leader, Zhao Yongkang, said in a deep voice, "City Master Link, please wait for a moment."
Link paused. "Is there anything else?"
Zhao Yongkang looked up at the dark sky and frowned. "The God of Evil rituals performed by the Black Dragon Gang are extremely evil. Fighting those evil beings not only risks losing your life but also risks aberration."
"Even we found fighting those Spiderhumans hard. Even if one doesn't get injured and infected, just gazing at those distorted sights for a long time can cause spiritual pollution and lead one to madness."
"The altar is also the place where the Black Dragon Gang communicates with the God of Evil. There must be powerful evil beings guarding it. City Master Link, you should take a moment to recuperate and recover your strength before we head over to destroy the altar."
A No Retreat Army soldier soon answered, "Yes, we are willing to go to the altar with City Master Link and fight against those aberrated monsters!"
Link nodded slightly at his words and didn't refuse the No Retreat Army soldiers' goodwill. Participating in a series of battles had taken a considerable toll on Link's own physical and mental strength.
The six-winged angel Yuna waved her staff, and a circle of sacred, pure, holy light energy flowed out like ripples.
This holy light had a restraining effect on dark, unholy creatures, and it caused damage via the holy flame. To all people, it was good for purifying the polluted.
All the No Retreat Army soldiers felt a warmth well up inside their bodies as if their souls were cleansed by the holy light!
Many No Retreat Army soldiers—who suffered from spiritual pollution and had indescribable whispers ringing in their ears—finally got out of that creepy state.
They had once again felt the power of this summoned Angel, and they couldn't help but be amazed by it.
"The holy light is so warm. I feel like all my strength has been restored and that all the spiritual pollution from fighting the Spiderhumans has been dispelled!"
"Only City Master Link is capable of summoning such a powerful creature!"
"Thankfully, City Master Link came to support us this time. Otherwise, it would've been difficult for us to escape those monsters' clutches!"
"The holy light can dispel the pollution. We can finally stop worrying about ourselves turning into one of those inhuman, aberrated monsters!"
Taking the opportunity to recuperate, some soldiers retrieved water and food from the wrecked camp, purified them, and distributed them to the people.
No Retreat Army's Priests—wielding staffs—cast recovery magic on the wounded and helped the crowd quickly recover their strength and condition.
One Priest that was holding a scalpel caught Link's attention.
This Priest was removing aberrated parts for the soldiers who were more severely polluted and couldn't be completely healed by the holy light.
For example, this young man—who looked like a military doctor—dug out the blood-colored eyeball that grew on a soldier's arm and threw it on the ground at this moment.
The blood-colored eyeball seemed to have a life of its own and was able to survive by itself. After being dug out, black tentacles formed, and the eyeball tried to escape.
But the young man used the scalpel to stab it completely, turning the eyeball into a puddle of pus and blood.
Link seemed to have met this young man in his past life, but he did not have a deep impression of him.
This scene was brought to the No Retreat Army leader, Zhao Yongkang's attention, and he introduced him to Link. "That's Jiang Cheng, who was said to be a doctor before the apocalypse. He has provided a lot of assistance during our encounter with the aberrated monsters."
After Zhao Yongkang's explanation, Link learned that the No Retreat Army had suffered great losses in the beginning since it was their first time encountering the aberrated monsters.
Many survivors perished or were aberrated as a result.
It was this young man named 'Jiang Cheng,' who had quickly sized up the situation and outlined the three stages of pollution.
The first stage: the victim's spirit would suffer from initial pollution. Symptoms included evil whispers that rang in one's ears and non-existent strange black shadows that occasionally appeared before one's eyes.
In the second stage, the victim's spirit would suffer from moderate pollution. Aberration would slightly occur on the body, but it wouldn't affect more than 30% of the whole body. This aberration manifested in the form of additional eyeballs, teeth, or organs that ingested food. The victim's internal organs would then be exposed on the surface of their body.
In the third stage, the victim's spirit would suffer from severe pollution, leading them to madness and depravity. Irreversible aberration would occur on more than 70% of the victim's body, leading to a complete transformation into a monster.
During the first two stages of pollution, one still had hope of being cured. In the third stage, there was basically no hope.
When the No Retreat Army soldiers found themselves—or their comrades around them—at the third stage of pollution, they wouldn't hesitate to end the lives of the aberrated.
It was because they were able to determine one's condition from the different stages of pollution that the No Retreat Army was able to secure a stronghold in a short period of time without all of them being aberrated.
It seemed that many capable people had emerged with the apocalypse's coming.
Link silently remembered the young man's name.
It was at this moment that Link felt a fluctuation in his spirit. It came from God Devourer Ant and Star Moon.
Since Link was their Summoner, and they originated from him, he was able to communicate with them via his mind.
In the current situation where the communication network was down, making it difficult to communicate with the others, this enabled Link to grasp the situation in Unfallen City immediately.
During the previous battle with the Undead, Link received the news that the Blood Demon Gang was attacking Unfallen City.
Since Link had made contingency plans, he did not make use of the [Ring of Teleportation]'s [So Close, Yet So Far] to teleport back to Unfallen City.
He believed that Unfallen City had the ability to eliminate the Blood Demon Gang, and that was exactly what happened.
At this moment, the spiritual fluctuations coming from God Devourer Ant were to inform Link that Bloodseeker had been decapitated.
Knowing that the Blood Demon Gang had been eliminated, Link gathered his spirit and began to meditate to recover his energy.
Over 40 minutes later.
Link opened his eyes. At the same time, Zhao Yongkang gathered the No Retreat Army's soldiers.
The No Retreat Army had previously delayed the Undead army and most of the aberrated monsters. However, there were still aberrated monsters in the city.
The people who retreated first were also likely to have been polluted by the crowd of Spiderhumans. Their status was unknown at the moment.
Therefore, there could not be any delays. Even if they recuperated, they had to watch the time closely.
Most of the soldiers had recovered their strength. Although it was hard to fight the sleepiness, they were able to continue fighting.
A few heavily wounded were housed at the temporary camps set up, and personnel were arranged to look after them.
Link looked at the crowd lined up in front of him—which was standing at attention—and said in a deep voice, "Let's go to the altar."
"Yes!" The No Retreat Army soldiers responded in a resounding voice as they stared at Link, filled with admiration.
After the previous battle, he had become everyone's support and backbone. He was held in high prestige in the No Retreat Army soldiers' hearts.
The scene also caught the attention of Zhao Yongkang. But the No Retreat Army's leader did not feel annoyed. He smiled instead.
Zhao Yongkang was not obsessed with power, and he had recognized Link's ability. He even thought that there perhaps might be hope in changing the future if he followed this man.
Link led almost 100 No Retreat Army soldiers into the city's criss-crossing streets.
The sky was dark due to the area being distorted by the God of Evil's aura. They advanced step by step as if being slowly swallowed by the fog-like darkness...

Chapter 124: Insect Summoner! Aura of the God of Evil!
"Help!"
"It's Chief Zhao; they're alive!"
"Chief Zhao, save us! The spider monsters are after us!"
After entering the city's interior, Link and a group of No Retreat Army soldiers soon met a group of survivors.
There were more than a dozen people in this group, including two children. They were running around in a panic, their faces full of fear.
The ones chasing them were several aberrated Stage Three Spiderhumans, including an elite Spiderhuman—from whom a powerful Stage Four aura emanated.
The path was suddenly lit up by a brilliant holy light. It arched beautifully, and the world seemed to be illuminated by this stunningly pure light!
The six-winged angel Yuna waved her staff, and a blazing white beam of light burst out, sweeping toward several aberrated Spiderhumans.
Six-winged angels—also known as mid-level angels—were responsible for separating the world of gods from the world of humans and maintaining their respective orders.
With Yuna's promotion to Stage Four, her strength was already close to the peak of a mid-level angel. As a mythical creature, her battle power was enough to crush enemies of the same rank, not to mention aberrated creatures that had been restrained.
Several Spiderhumans were immediately caught in the holy flames and burned to ashes.
The dozen or so rescued [Doomsday Online] players froze. They blankly stared at Yuna as if she were a god who had descended.
The dozen or so of them were all low-level [Doomsday Online] players. Just a few Stage Three Spiderhumans, plus a Stage Four Spiderhuman, were enough to become their nightmare.
But the angel in front of them had wiped out such terrifying monsters with just a wave of her hand, so how could they not be shocked?
Many of the survivors had thoughts of prostrating to Yuna. Some had already fallen to their knees.
"An angel!"
"An angel has come to save us!"
Zhao Yongkang—who wanted to make clear the situation as soon as possible—immediately said, "The angel is City Master Link's summon. It has come to help us get through this. You guys are fine now; where are the others? Were you separated from the large evacuation party?"
When they heard Zhao Yongkang say that the sacred and incomparable angel in front of them was actually someone's summon, many people were doubly shocked!
The gazes of all the survivors turned to Link, their faces filled with awe.
Just what kind of extraordinary person is he that he can become the master of an angel?
It took a while before someone calmed down enough to reply. "Chief Zhao, shortly after we evacuated, we encountered a blockade from the Black Dragon Gang! In order to protect us, Commander Luo Haoyue led his warriors into a desperate fight against the Black Dragon Gang's monsters, but one of the Black Dragon Gang's monsters with a ghastly white face was terrifyingly powerful."
"Commander Luo Haoyue was overwhelmed and captured by that man! That strange man with the ghastly white face seemed to have an extremely high status in the Black Dragon Gang. He seemed to have specifically come for Commander Luo Haoyue."
"After the Black Dragon Gang took away Commander Luo, we were then separated by the aberrated monsters. The situation after that is unclear!"
Zhao Yongkang frowned. "They came specifically for Luo Haoyue? Could that strange man be the Black Dragon Gang's mysterious leader?"
Link frowned slightly at his words. Luo Haoyue—someone he had contact with in his previous life—was one of the No Retreat Army's Stage Four powerhouses.
Luo Haoyue had a hidden profession of the Summoner class, [Insect Summoner]. She was able to summon aberrated insect creatures to fight for her.
In the next attack—the Zerg swarm—this ability would be very useful. For that reason, Luo Haoyue was also on Link's mental list of recruits.
However, the Black Dragon Gang had apparently also realized the value of Luo Haoyue, though their specific plans were unknown.
Zhao Yongkang pondered for a moment and said somewhat guiltily, "City Master Link, the evacuation party was separated, and there should be many people who are being chased by the Spiderhumans. I'm afraid we'll have to split our troops into two."
"I'll bring a portion of my men to search for survivors in the city. The altar..."
Link nodded slightly; the altar was something he had to destroy. Otherwise, the distortion here would spread out and affect Unfallen City.
Seeing Link nod, Zhao Yongkang continued speaking. "In that case, we will depend on City Master Link. Once we clear the city of aberrated monsters, we will immediately rush over to support City Master Link."
Once they finished speaking, the two began to move without delay.
Link continued to move toward the root of the twisted and depraved aura, while Zhao Yongkang led some of his men to sweep the surrounding streets for Spiderhumans and save as many survivors as possible.
The closer they got to the building where the Black Dragon Gang had set up the altar, the more eerie and gruesome the atmosphere became.
It seemed that the darkness here was extraordinarily dense because of the influence of the God of Evil's aura. It almost had the consistency of water.
Even the originally straight street had been distorted. Withered trees were like twisted ghostly hands welcoming Link and the others.
Huge cocoons lined the street, some of which were moving. This place looked like the center of a huge spider's nest.
All that could be seen after breaking open many of the cocoons were humans, who had died horribly. Their faces were frozen in despair and fear.
Some cocoons burst open on their own accord when Link and the others approached. From within, small green spiders—the size of a fist—came toward them like a tide.
It was a good thing Yuna was there. The holy light was enough to turn these small spiders into ashes.
Moreover, quite a few Spiderhumans were still roaming around here. The number of elite Stage Four Spiderhumans was also gradually increasing.
After decimating several waves of Spiderhumans, Link and the others finally arrived at the building that continuously emitted a wild and evil aura.
However, this building probably couldn't be considered a building anymore. It was surrounded by spider silk, looking like a huge cocoon. It was as if an extremely terrifying monster was breeding in it!
Here, everyone felt a terrifying sense of oppression.
The whispers that lingered in their ears became more and more frantic!
A strong feeling of unease—bordering on fear—flooded the No Retreat Army soldiers' hearts. They felt as if they were headed for death!
Fear grew like a weed in their hearts.
The No Retreat Army soldiers that came with Link all subconsciously stopped in their tracks.
The building seemed to be against all life. It made them shiver in fear! It was as if an invisible, cold hand was clutching their hearts, suffocating them!
Even with Yuna's [Holy Light Purification, the intensity of the God of Evil's aura still sent two soldiers into irreversible madness!
It was a good thing that the surrounding No Retreat Army soldiers were experienced in dealing with the aberrated. Hence, they quickly resolved their comrades' pain.
After such a thing happened, it made Link understand that even the elite [Doomsday Online] players might not be able to step foot inside the building.
The closer they got to the source of the God of Evil's aura, the more inevitable the aberration and madness—the more inevitable!
Was this the gods?
Only Link—who had the [Fearless Pathfinder] title—wouldn't be affected by the whispers and spiritual pollution.
Thus, he immediately said, "The next place is the source of the distortion. I will go in by myself. All of you, stay outside. If you can't stand the effects of the pollution here, just stay further away."

Chapter 125: Fallen Domain! Spider Statue!
"Lord, it's too dangerous for you to enter the building alone. Let me go in your place!" Luo Xingyao's face was a little pale. It was getting difficult for her to resist the evil whispers ringing in her ears.
However, she still stubbornly gritted her teeth and blocked Link's way.
Luo Xingyao didn't want to see Link go into the dangerous and unpredictable building alone. But she herself was unclear as to what the specific reason was.
On the other side, Qiao Ruowei also took a step forward. She said grimly, "Let me go instead. I'm good at hiding, and I have a better chance of destroying the altar."
A group of No Retreat Army soldiers also picked up the conversation, expressing their willingness to follow or go in Link's place to destroy the God of Evil's altar.
In the apocalypse, the hearts of people were most visible.
Warmth suffused Link's heart, but the expression on his face remained serious. He had to do what followed alone.
The pollution and distortion here had reached a terrifying level. The probability of the others turning into aberrated deeper inside was too high. After all, not anyone had the added buffs from the [Fearless Pathfinder] title, which allowed one never to fall into madness and break down.
Moreover, Link had the [Ring of Teleportation]. If something about the situation wasn't right, he could still teleport away at any time.
Although he was heading to a dangerous place, it wasn't a place of no return for him.
"No need. All of you wait a little further away. I know what I'm doing." Link's calm words fell, powerful and resonating.
Link did not linger. He side-stepped Luo Xingyao and stepped into the building, while the six-winged angel, Yuna, followed closely behind him.
Luo Xingyao and Qiao Ruowei subconsciously wanted to follow Link, but they were stopped by a wave of Yuna's hand.
"Master has his own plans. The pollution in the building is too much for you to bear. If you don't want to be a burden to Master, you should follow Master's instructions."
Luo Xingyao and Qiao Ruowei knew that Yuna's words were the truth. Although the two women were reluctant, they could only stop outside the building with the rest of the No Retreat Army's soldiers.
They silently watched as Link's slender back disappeared from view as if it was swallowed by the foggy darkness.
In the eyes of the crowd, Link's back view looked a little sad and desolate at this moment!
The unknown often brought fear. Nobody knew what was in the building; there might even be a God of Evil!
It could be said that this place was incredibly dangerous from the moment a person stepped into it. With the increased distortion and pollution, it was a place where one was more likely to die than live.
Many people clenched their fists and cursed the Black Dragon Gang under their breath.
A few women from the No Retreat Army had already begun to pray silently for Link, hoping that he would return safely.
Luo Xingyao and Qiao Ruowei also clenched their pink fists. Their hearts were filled with apprehension, though their gazes remained steady.
After all, Link had never let anyone down thus far. Both of them had an almost worshipful trust in him.
"The Lord will definitely return safely. The pollution near the building is too severe; let's retreat to a safe distance and wait for the Lord to return," said Luo Xingyao somberly.
The No Retreat Army soldiers did not object.
At this moment, it was pitch black inside the building.
The darkness seemed almost tangible as it caressed Link's body. There was resistance as he walked through it. It felt as if he were walking through water.
There was also a slippery feeling underfoot. It felt as if they were walking on some kind of flesh, and it emitted a strange squelching sound.
Even Yuna—surrounded by swirling holy light as the staff in her hand glowed brightly—could only illuminate a small area around her in this incomparably bizarre environment.
Using the holy light's illumination, Link scrutinized the surrounding environment.
This place was indeed the source of aberration, and it was incomparably twisted. The surrounding walls, ceilings, and floors were covered with dark-brown flesh.
Link and Yuna seemed to be walking in the body of some huge creature. These flesh-like walls were like a living thing, breathing and trembling.
Fear, despair, depravity, and blasphemy filled every corner and saturated the air.
Even the Holy Angel, Yuna, didn't look too good. Link was also being attacked by fear and madness.
If an ordinary person were to witness such a sight, they would most likely have been distorted and aberrated long ago.
But under the effects of [Fearless]—a passive skill—a misty glow rippled out of Link's body, resisting the darkness around it.
As Link's summon, Yuna was also partially affected by [Fearless]. Together with her own divine attributes, she was able to resist the attacks.
Link and Yuna followed the source of the evil aura and went deeper. During this, Link took out the [Mask of the Faceless] and covered his face with it.
This piece of equipment was also a part of chaos, and it had the passive skill, [Faceless].
The wearer would receive the chaos's protection. The wearer also couldn't be deduced, spotted, and identified.
To destroy the Spider God's altar, one must naturally be well prepared. After all, existences at the level of gods all possessed great power beyond human imagination. Even a single thought from them was enough to cause disaster.
Link did not want to be targeted by a god just yet.
The source of the distortion came from underground—where the original building's basement should be. However, the original staircases and elevators had disappeared without a trace.
The way to the lower floor from the upper floor had been transformed into a hole full of spikes—which looked like a giant mouth full of teeth.
As Link and Yuna approached, the giant mouth seemed to sense the unfamiliar auras. It let out a strange hiss.
With the hissing sound, numerous Stage Three and Stage Four Spiderhumans quickly crawled out of the hole. They then lunged at Link and Yuna.
Without hesitation, Link wielded the [King's sword] and swung it. With his current battle power, he was able to suppress Stage Five monsters and even Stage Six monsters.
These aberrated monsters were no match for him. They were churned into a puddle of flesh by the raging sword.
Link minced the fleshy ground and leaped underground.
The deeper they went, the more bizarre the sights were.
A number of aberrated Spiderhumans were gathered in the basement. On the flesh walls were cocoon-like bulges.
More aberrated monsters were apparently being bred.
This place had become something like a domain.
As Link had expected, this place would definitely become a hotbed for the God of Evil's birth if the altar was not dealt with in time.
At the same time, in the second level of the building's basement.
A huge altar stood here. If one examined it carefully, they would see that every part of the altar was made of piled-up human bones and limbs. It was bloody and horrifying.
There was a strangely shaped spider statue on the altar! The twisted and evil aura emanated from this statue.
Three twisted, spider-like figures respectfully kneeled under the altar.
These three figures were much bigger than the other aberrated monsters. The suppression emanating from their bodies was even more terrifying. They were obviously the most powerful of the Spiderhumans.
These three Spiderhumans' eyes suddenly flickered with a green, ghostly aura, and an evil whisper followed.
"A human is approaching."
"Finally..."

Chapter 126: God of Evil's High Priest! Might of the Mask!
Hiss!
Amidst the sharp cries, a Stage Four Spiderhuman's mouth opened like flower petals and spurted out a blob of green liquid, which flew toward Link and Yuna.
A foul wind came!
But before the liquid touched the corners of Link's clothes, a ball of brilliant holy light bloomed at the area.
Like a big sun exploding at the place, golden holy flames swept across this slightly blocked-up space!
The sticky green liquid and sea of Spiderhumans were burnt into ashes!
The monsters' agonizing cries sounded without end.
A considerable number of monsters were in the basement, but before Link and Yuna's powerful combat ability, they were completely unable to cause trouble.
Moreover, Link also astutely discovered some peculiarities during the battle.
The majority of the low-level Spiderhumans would madly attack Yuna. But when it came to him, they appeared to be quite cowardly, or rather, fearful.
Is it because the [Mask of the Faceless]'s status is too high that it made these Spiderhumans fearful?
This thought flashed through Link's heart. He then recalled Yuna into the void and faced the numerous Spiderhumans alone.
The Spiderhumans—who were originally insane and restless—instantly calmed down.
Some low-level Spiderhumans, who'd just hatched, even crouched down before Link, trembling! It was just like how ants could only tremble and play up to the dragons when set against them!
Even the Stage Three Spiderhumans stopped their movements. They seemed to be afraid, frightened by the aura that Link radiated.
Only the exceedingly few Stage Four Spiderhumans expressed hostility toward the invader, Link. But they barely released some cries, seemingly very terrified too.
After testing the mask's effects for a while, the corners of Link's mouth rose slightly. It seems that the [Mask of the Faceless] is indeed an extraordinarily powerful piece of equipment.
He let Yuna out once more and quickly cleaned up the Spiderhumans on this floor.
Link could sense that there were even more frightening existences on the next floor.
After cleaning up the aberrated monsters on this floor, Link split open the flesh wall beneath his feet without hesitation and entered the basement's second level.
A massive altar—formed using the bones and distorted limbs of human beings—instantly came into sight.
Meanwhile, the faintly discernible murmurs—which had been echoing within the building the entire time—also reached the peak at this moment!
This was the source of the God of Evil's aura!
It was as if certain existences were chanting and extolling the extremely noble god using a language and tone that humankind couldn't comprehend.
Brilliance bloomed around Link—it was [Fearless, a passive skill, taking effect.
Link appeared like a god roaming the world, unaffected by the invasion of madness.
Beneath the massive altar were three aberrated Spiderhumans. Presently, they had all stood up, watching Link and Yuna, these two unwelcome guests. They then emitted a warped yet powerful suppression.
These three Spiderhumans had all reached Stage Five! They were top powerhouses that had surpassed humanity; they were like the worst nightmares to most humans at the current stage!
Black needle-like long hair covered them entirely, and their body surfaces gleamed with a metal-like luster.
Faint green glows flickered as six pairs of spider eyes blinked—their distorted faces made one shudder with terror!
A notification also entered Link's mind at this moment.
[Spiderhuman High Priest]
Race: Lower Servant
Level: Stage 5, Level 4
Introduction: Servant of the Spider God, Atlas Nakya. They are transformed from a fanatic follower, extolling His greatness all day long. They—who have received the Spider God's favor—are ruthless and cold-blooded. They will cause mental pollution to the feeble-minded, inducing madness and aberration.
Link scrutinized the aberrated monsters before him, his eyes slightly narrowed.
These three Stage Five aberrated monsters were enough to destroy the No Retreat Army completely!
Fortunately—for some unknown reason—these three Spiderhuman High Priests had been keeping guard by this altar the whole time. Otherwise, the No Retreat Army wouldn't have been able to last till his rescue at all.
To destroy the altar, Link clearly needed to annihilate these three aberrated monsters first.
Presently, the three Spiderhuman High Priests did not launch an attack against Link immediately.
They looked at Link's face, slight surprise revealing in their eyes!
Hoarse, piercing voices then sounded.
"This... This is the aura of a god. Why is there a god's aura on you?"
So much so that, due to gazing at the [Mask of the Faceless] on Link's face for a long period of time, the two phantom-green eyes of a Spiderhuman High Priest directly burst. Green liquid also splattered!
Aberrated monsters all possessed powerful self-healing abilities and high vitality.
But this Spiderhuman High Priest's eyeballs—which had popped—did not regrow. Instead, they became two spiral openings.
These openings were very similar to the black whirlpools drawn on the [Mask of the Faceless]. In addition, the spiral openings seemed to be constantly ripping up the Spiderhuman High Priest's flesh and blood.
Piteous cries resounded in the second level of the basement.
This was [Counter Pollution]!
Even Link was slightly surprised. The mask on his face was actually able to counter-pollute and affect the monster before him.
This not only showed that the mask had a high status, but it also indicated the [Mask of the Faceless]'s source. That indescribable existence... His position was probably even higher than that of the Spider God!
The mask's background should be extremely frightening.
The two other Spiderhuman High Priests forced themselves to retract their gaze; they did not dare to look above Link's neck again.
The spider statue on the altar was also trembling lightly. It had seemingly sensed the threat; the aura emanating from the statue became increasingly twisted and mad...
"No matter which god's envoy you are, those who intrude into the altar without permission must die!"
The three Spiderhuman High Priests very quickly recovered to their senses from the initial surprise. They let out hoarse cries and launched attacks at Link.
One Spiderhuman High Priest opened its large, bloody mouth and spurted out a large mass of green energy.
The green energy turned into a massive net in mid-air, enveloping Link and Yuna inside it.
The massive net radiated a strange aura. It felt as if one would fall into an endless illusion once they came into contact with it.
Link was on-guard in his heart, and the [Spring and Autumn Sword Technique] was instantly launched!
The [King's Sword] in his hand released a golden glow, and streaks of sword energy burst forth—tempestuous, swift, and fierce!
A piercing sword intent instantly filled the entire basement's second level. It felt like a sword immortal had arrived, and the temperature dropped sharply!
The massive net was torn apart by the sword energy that danced wildly!
At the side, Yuna also swung her staff immediately. A ball of holy light energy instantly slammed toward the three Spiderhuman High Priests like a meteor!
[Holy Light Purification]!
Boom!
Amidst the roar, a Spiderhuman High Priest forcefully endured Yuna's attack. As a result, holy flames burned his multiple brawny, long legs.
But without the slightest hesitation, this Spiderhuman High Priest actually tore these few limbs off directly!
Flesh and blood at the torn-off limb areas wriggled. New limbs grew out very quickly and came pouncing toward Link.
The frightening spider legs were covered in barbs, and the ends were extremely sharp. They tore through the air, whistling as winds rose!
Once penetrated, the barbs would be nailed to the prey's insides, causing secondary damage in the process of dragging!
With such a quick and ferocious attack, even a Stage Four powerhouse would be killed on the spot!

Chapter 127: Killing the High Priests! Counter Pollution!
The [King's Sword] let out a flourishing sharp light. The sword energy all over Link surged like a tide and swept toward the Spiderhuman High Priest.
A roar instantly exploded in the basement!
The repercussions of the battle ripped up hideous slits in the ground made of flesh!
The might that burst out from the two's collision was comparable to that of a Stage Six being. The quake had the entire basement's first level shaking!
If it weren't because the area had already been influenced by the heretic god's aura and turned into a special [Domain, it would certainly collapse.
The Spiderhuman High Priest was relying on the fact that it was in this unique [Domain]—this basement level was already deeply twisted.
The flesh walls all around were covered in strange and heretical runes, outlined using fresh blood. There were even hearts, skulls, and the like placed on the important nodal points.
As such, the Spiderhuman High Priest's capabilities tremendously amplified in this area!
On the other hand, Link relied on his own exceedingly high attributes. All his equipment—which were Legend or Myth-grade—had also further raised his attributes, making him strong enough to resist a Stage Six existence!
Within seconds, the two collided multiple times with a terrifying force.
The Spiderhuman High Priest's sharp chelicerae were all broken; Link even sent it flying, and it crashed hard into the flesh-made ground.
The remaining two Spiderhuman High Priests could not restrain themselves from looking full of terror!
One must know that the suppression emitting from the human before them was merely Stage Four, yet he had completely repressed a Stage Five Spiderhuman in battle!
This place was their home ground! Yet, they were being crushed by a Stage Four human? How was that possible!?
Some uneasiness and chilliness rose in the two aberrated monsters' hearts presently.
They both acted, seeking to finish off the enemy before them as quickly as possible.
One Spiderhuman High Priest opened its mouth that was full of fangs. Green spiders—the size of a fist and mixed with a sticky liquid—poured out of its mouth and swarmed toward Link.
Meanwhile, the other Spiderhuman High Priest waved the staff, made from human bones, in its hand!
The runes that densely covered the basement's second level instantly released a scarlet-red glow!
The surroundings became even darker and more twisted. Under the invasion of a strange strength, the murmuring whispers became even more intense, inducing one to fall into an eternal illusion.
Even Holy Angel Yuna's present countenance had become more ghastly. Due to the array's influence, her spirit had drooped. It seemed as if she would be dragged into an illusion at any time.
At this moment, Link depended on [Fearless]'s effects to withstand the mental impact and influence.
But the array's effects weren't just targeted at one's spirit. Even Link's body started to feel extremely fatigued, and his eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand tons! It felt as if an icy-cold palm was currently resting on Link's face, wanting to close his eyes!
Link had to settle the battle as soon as possible. He was taken aback in his heart, and he launched the [Mask of the Faceless]'s active skill!
[God of Evil's Whispers]!
Somehow, there seemed to be a supreme being who cast His gaze and influence at this area.
The three Spiderhuman High Priests' bodies trembled violently! In a trance, they witnessed an exceedingly terrifying scene.
The light and space behind Link distorted. A twisted, chaotic, and indescribable black figure then seemed to appear!
An overwhelming suppression and aura came from the black figure—it was inexhaustible chaos and madness!
This figure was surely a supreme god; just the figure's aura was enough to make the three Spiderhuman High Priests feel fear and shudder!
The [God of Evil's Whispers]'s effect and the area's unique array effect overlapped one another!
Link and Yuna instantly felt their bodies' exhaustion ease significantly.
The little, green spiders that swarmed toward the both of them stopped moving in unison. They let out painful cries and then exploded, becoming some kind of disgusting green liquid.
The voice of madness—filled with blasphemy and degeneration—sounded by the three Spiderhuman High Priests' ears. Even as aberrated creatures, they actually could not resist!
There seemed to be many cirri and arms stretching out from the surrounding darkness, seeking to enclose them!
Under the [God of Evil's Whispers]'s influence, even their absolute faith in the Spider God saw a change.
[Aberration] not of spider form occurred within the three Spiderhuman High Priests' bodies!
Masses of flesh swelled, and cirri and eyes emerged on the surface of their bodies!
[Counter Pollution]!
The [Mask of the Faceless]'s potency set chills in one's heart.
In Link and Yuna's field of vision.
The three Spiderhuman High Priests were frozen in place.
An indescribable black shadow wound around them, nestled up against their cheeks, and whispered intimately...
Seeing that all three Spiderhuman High Priests had fallen into this peculiar state, Link did not hesitate to strike again.
The [King's Sword] swung out, launching an offense at the Spiderhuman High Priest who had sunk into the flesh-made ground.
A strong power of death suffused from Link as if a deathly still Styx flowed around him!
A figure shrouded beneath a cloak and a hood appeared behind Link!
A mist of death swept across, and the space shuddered—He seemed to be Death itself!
A massive silver sickle—gleaming with a startling cold glow—arrived at the same time as the [King's Sword]'s blade and harvested life!
It was [Death Judgment]!
Crack!
This strike had luckily triggered the instant death effect!
The Spiderhuman High Priest's hideous body instantly broke into pieces! The splattering pieces appeared withered as if they'd long decayed—all vitality was destroyed!
The two other Spiderhuman High Priests seemed to have sensed danger. They violently struggled as if they wanted to break free of that frightening state.
Link's gaze was cold, his mental strength swiftly spread out.
Many translucent cirri appeared in the empty air and went killing towards the closest enemy!
[Cirrus Limbs]!
The air seemed to be whipped open by the steel whip-like cirri, letting out fearsome booms.
And in the next instant, the cirri had already penetrated a Spiderhuman High Pries's bodyt!
Flesh and blood flew in all directions!
The influence of the cirri—together with the [God of Evil's Whispers]'s pollution—had this Spiderhuman High Priest directly deviate from his faith in the Spider God.
His whole body continuously aberrated, directly crumbling into a large mass of bloated flesh. The cirri then minced it.
At this point, the other Spiderhuman High Priest finally broke free of the [God of Evil's Whispers]'s control.
Multiple large chelicerae came slashing toward Link, wanting to tear his body up!
The cirri instantly retracted and turned into a huge shield before Link!
Boom!
Amidst the roar, the Spiderhuman High Priest was thrown back by the counterforce. Link's mental strength was also greatly depleted.
Presently, Yuna swung out balls of holy light energy. They flew toward the Spiderhuman High Priest like cannonballs.
Link also launched [Holy Charge] at the same time. The [King's Sword] in his grip and the cirrus limbs—transformed from mental strength—went thrusting toward the Spiderhuman High Priest together!
Even the Spiderhuman High Priest could not counter this terrifying attack. Fear and despair flashed through those six sinister pupils!
But at the next moment, the Spiderhuman High Priest's twisted limbs were directly crushed!
The three Stage Five aberrated monsters were all dead!
Golden holy flames burned on those tattered broken limbs.
Link and Yuna walked among the holy flames, slowly moving up that heretical and strange altar!
The two people's shadows flickered in the flames' light, appearing to be peerlessly huge!

Chapter 128: Destroying the Altar! Facing the God!
At the top of the altar stood a statue with a shape similar to a spider.
Distorted runes, drawn using fresh blood, were in front of the statue, and it seemed to be this heretic god's name.
This statue was as tall as a person, and a God of Evil's aura came from it.
This statue's true form could not be described; it was very abstract and distorted. After all, the so-called gods were something humankind could not understand or touch.
Everything about the gods' appearances were merely the visions of humankind. Even their names were humankind's transliteration; no one knew the gods' real names.
Yuna, who possessed holy attributes, had a strong aversion toward this statue in her heart. "Master, this statue is probably the medium the Black Dragon Gang uses to communicate with the God of Evil. If we destroy it immediately, this area should no longer be affected by the God of Evil's aura."
Link nodded lightly, and the [King's Sword] in his hand and the cirrus limbs harshly slashed at the statue!
The air was instantly ripped apart, and a boom sounded!
Yuna also wielded her staff. A ball of brilliant holy light went smashing toward the statue!
The two people's attributes and combat ability far exceeded peers of the same level. Presently, acting without reservations, the might that burst out had reached the magnitude of a Stage Six!
Boom!
Amidst the roar, the statue—made of an unknown material—cracked at every inch!
But even after the statue exploded, the six gems on the statue—which acted as the spider's eyes—did not break. Instead, they gathered together and released a misty radiance!
A strange and frightening aura instantly spread through the air!
Cracks actually surfaced in the world before Link and Yuna's eyes. They swiftly extended like a spiderweb and then broke like a mirror!
The two of them seemed to have fallen into an endless illusion; the scene in front of their eyes changed speedily!
Dense, interlaced spider silk appeared before Link.
These spiderwebs were extraordinarily huge. Like pillars that connected to heaven, they hung in the world. The scene was appalling!
It was as if Link and Yuna had fallen into the nest of a certain giant spider.
But deep inside those spiderwebs seemed to be a peerlessly great, vast, and indescribable figure present!
A mere passing glance, and Link and Yuna had lowered their heads instinctively, shifting their gazes away.
They only saw a shadow that was jet black like the abyss.
When they wanted to take another look, they instinctively sensed extreme danger!
One mustn't look directly at a god! Just looking would bring about infinite disaster and destruction! Even if that God of Evil had not noticed them at this time!
The world before their eyes was filled with the God of Evil's aura; it was no longer part of the physical world already!
This was the Spider God, Atlas Nakya!
He existed in the depths of dreamlands! He was always constantly weaving a massive net, setting up a bridge between the sober world and dreams.
Many people believed that the bridge would be completed once he finished weaving the net and that the apocalyptic world would arrive following that!
This was an indescribable God of Evil. He was currently sleeping soundly in the depths of the dreamlike spiderwebs.
His broad physique could not be described; the air currents that he breathed out were like a gentle breeze but also the abyss's miasma. It made one fearful!
Facing the god, fear and madness constantly hit Link and Yuna!
Even with [Fearless]'s protection, the two people still felt immense uneasiness and crisis in their hearts!
How did we get here? Link wondered inwardly, but he was still calm. He activated [Ring of Teleportation]'s active skill—[So Close, Yet So Far]—at the first moment.
This skill could mark a total of five nodes in space, and it could allow the user to return to the marked space nodes.
Following his thoughts, the [Ring of Teleportation] in Link's hand lit up with a silver glow.
But it did not bring the duo out of this dreadful, nightmare-like place immediately.
A notification entered Link's mind.
[Ding! Detected that you are in a special space—Dreamlands. Due to the influence of the God of Evil's aura, space teleportation cannot be accomplished immediately.]
[Teleportation countdown; 10... 9... 8...]
Even the [Ring of Teleportation]'s teleportation ability was restricted here! Fortunately, the restriction had merely delayed the teleportation time. If it were to restrict teleportation directly, Link and Yuna would probably have to remain here forever, becoming the Spider God's food!
Every second spent waiting seemed like an eternity. The uneasiness and sense of crisis that filled Link and Yuna's heart became even stronger!
The Spider God resting in the spiderwebs' depths seemed like He was just about to leave the state that was between dream and reality. Once He awoke, it would be equivalent to death arriving!
Finally, the countdown was about to end!
Link's eyes narrowed slightly. The cirrus limbs reached out and cut off a portion of the spider silk from the massive spiderwebs.
Coming to the God of Evil's abode meant bearing extreme danger, so Link wasn't willing to make a trip here in vain.
One must know that everything which existed here had to do with the God of Evil. Stained with the God of Evil's aura, they would certainly be materials of extremely high quality.
Together with [Supreme Blessing]—which was Link's talent ability—Link could further increase the items' quality!
The gains this time would certainly be beyond imagination!
Of course, if Link's act of pulling out the heretic god's hair was learned by the Spider God, it would certainly incur his terrifying fury.
In reality, as a piece of spider silk was cut off, the sense of crisis in Link and Yuna's heart also soared to the peak.
It seemed like the frightening God of Evil was about to wake up!
Fortunately, the countdown had completely ended!
Link and Yuna's figures instantly vanished from the area.
Not long after, that massive, indescribable spider slowly lifted His eyelids. Of the six spider eyes, four were shut. Only two were open, and it seemed as if worlds were being annihilated in those deep eyes!
The Spider God sensed that someone had left and had taken part of His spider silk. He conveyed an emotion of rage!
A frightening aura instantly shook in the spiderwebs' depths; the darkness boiled at once like a tide!
A magnificent voice—which humankind could not comprehend—sounded; it sounded like a soft 'eh.'
"Hmm? Who stole my spider silk? This aura is a little familiar." The Spider God, Atlas Nakya, began to deduce, intending to lock onto the visitor that came uninvited. How dare they steal my spider silk and disrespect me? They naturally have to bear boundless fury and destruction!
But a hint of surprise soon flashed across Atlas Nakya's heart. He actually could not get any information about that thief.
Atlas Nakya was rather surprised. Those massive spider eyes on His body opened successively, and the aura He emitted also became even scarier!
Even when all six of His spider eyes were open, He was still unable to learn the thief's information. The only thing He got was chaos!
"Chaos?!" The frightening aura shook for a long time before the Spider God recovered His calm. The six spider eyes then closed in succession once more.
Presently, Link and Yuna had already returned from the Dreamlands and were back in the basement's second level.
The coordinates that Link had marked for teleportation was outside the building. It was probably due to the influence of the God of Evil's aura that a certain extent of deviation happened to the teleporation position.
Link and Yuna—who had just returned from the dreadful place—had yet to get over their fear.
Moments later, Link stretched his hands out and brought out a piece of spider silk. This was his gain from this trip!
