Chapter 32 Chapter32-Treasure of the Devil
Azazel did notice John's expression.
He scoffed, "What, is this your first time witnessing the robustness of a 'Chaos Clan'? My pre-ascension clan doesn't perish that easily."
"Even gods will find it challenging to obliterate it in an instant!"
With that, he threw another peculiar weapon.
Without pause, he manipulated countless Dark Mist, simultaneously attacking John's summoned creature.
The dreadful power constantly attacked the summoned creature.
John was hearing the title 'Chaos Clan' for the first time, this race seemingly originated from the ancient era.
His summon continuously roared terrifyingly, but its body showed no signs of decay under The Devil's attack…
Its regenerative ability was truly astonishing!
However, it was, after all, the full force of a Devil.
Unable to withstand the second wave of attacks, the summon fell to the ground, becoming a corpse.
John was quite satisfied with the creature he'd summoned this time.
At over level 700, he could already summon such powerful creatures…
By level 900, summoning a demigod wouldn't be impossible!
He drew out the Divine Blade, and said to Azazel:
"Indeed, the 'Chaos' authority seems quite useful..."
"Now I understand why the other gods fear you so much, why they sealed you here."
"Someday..."
"I'll slay you here, and seize your authority!"
Azazel's three heads showed distinct expressions.
Sorrow, anger, and excitement.
With a soul-shaking voice, he replied:
"Very well."
"Then you're welcome to try!"
…
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, two more months had passed.
At this point, frontline players in the 'Godslayer' game had all reached level 45 or higher.
Even though the leveling progress these two months couldn't compare with that of the first month after the server's launch.
Players weren't disheartened.
They knew well that leveling was extremely difficult now.
Reaching level 45 within three months was already a feat.
At this moment,
Both Blue Sea and Adam had reached level 49.
A little more Exp, and they could break through to level 50, gaining new talents!
Many other high-level players, belonging to different factions, were in a similar situation.
Everyone was waiting.
Except for one anonymous player on the leaderboard who hadn't leveled up.
Who would be the first to reach level 50?!
…
In a mysterious ancient ruin.
Over a hundred players from Blue Sea Guild, Genesis Guild, and Darklord's Guild gathered.
After two months of tireless efforts, they finally found the location mentioned in the Ancient Parchment.
Darklord, standing at the forefront of the crowd, squinted at the ruins in front of him,
"Here it is, the Ancient Devil Ruins mentioned in the Parchment."
They had spent a lot of time and energy consulting numerous NPCs proficient in Demon language to decode the language and symbols on the Parchment.
Once they found the corresponding location, Blue Sea and Adam immediately called over all the top players in their guilds.
Darklord also summoned his best subordinates.
If they could succeed this time, the strength of these three major guilds would make a qualitative leap.
"When we unlock the treasure, we'll split it fifty-fifty, as we agreed at the start,"
Darklord reminded Blue Sea, then turned to Adam, adding,
"As for how you two split it, that's none of my business."
Adam gave a slight smile, paying no heed to Darklord.
Instead, he turned to Blue Sea, joking,
"What do you think, Blue Sea, we're here now. Have you decided? Our two guilds could easily team up and wipe out this arrogant small guild, then split the treasure fifty-fifty?"
Darklord was startled by his words.
Although he was arrogant and haughty, he knew his guild couldn't match Blue Sea and Adam's.
He feared what could happen if the two major guilds teamed up against his guild.
Inwardly panicking, he tried to maintain a calm fa?ade, questioning Blue Sea,
"Blue Sea! Were your words all lies? Doesn't the reputation of your Blue Sea Guild matter to you?!"
Blue Sea glanced at him, somewhat speechless. "Did I ever say I'd take you down?"
Darklord was left speechless.
Indeed, Blue Sea hadn't committed to any action.
Darklord secretly vowed: If he obtained the Treasure of the Devil, he would stand at the pinnacle of this game, making all top players submit to him!
Just then, a loud boom interrupted Darklord's thoughts.
Everyone looked towards the source of the sound...
It was the mages and engineers of the three guilds, who had finally blasted an entrance to the underground tomb in the ruins.
"Excellent, the path is cleared. I'll send scouts to investigate," Blue Sea said, excitement evident in his voice.
"Wait!" Darklord interrupted.
"Waiting for what?" Adam asked impatiently.
"I didn't agree to let your people go in first!" Darklord responded, "Who knows if they might pocket something from the Treasure of the Devil?"
Blue Sea frowned, his patience with Darklord running thin.
If it weren't for the Treasure of the Devil, he wouldn't want to waste a word with him.
"Think clearly. This level of treasure is incredibly important. If anything goes wrong, no one can afford the consequences!" Blue Sea warned.
Darklord confidently responded, "Hmph, I have full confidence in my scouts! They won't mess up." He clapped his hands after finishing his words.
Immediately, five scout players came up to Darklord.
They were all level 40, pretty pro players.
"You guys go scout the underground tunnel first, see if there are any traps or monsters..."
"Remember, no matter what situation you encounter, you need to report back, you can't just charge in!"
The scouts replied in unison, "Yes, young master!"
Then they turned and headed towards the blasted entrance.
Seeing this, Adam suddenly spoke up,
"Since you're worried about Blue Sea's people taking something privately... we should also be concerned about your subordinates doing the same."
"Let's do this, I'll also send a few scouts down to check. They can look out for each other."
As he spoke, two scouts stepped forward from behind Adam.
They were both level 45 players, definitely top players.
Given the difference between level 40 and 45, even if all five of Darklord's subordinates went together, they would be no match for these two level 45 players.
So, with these two joining, it would be nearly impossible for Darklord's subordinates to do anything underhanded in the underground tunnel.
Darklord's expression indicated that he was clearly displeased.
But he couldn't say anything, after all, it wasn't an unreasonable request for both sides to send people down to check.
Just as Darklord and Adam's subordinates entered the underground tunnel together, two cloaked female players appeared on a hillside in the distance.
