Villain MMORPG: Almighty Devil Emperor and His Seven Demonic Wives



Villain Ch 453. Love Fireworks [Part 1]

Allen and Larissa exchanged knowing glances. Their eyes seemed to communicate silently, conveying an unspoken understanding. This was going to be an easy quest, and there was no need for both of them to intervene when the players around them were so engrossed in their relentless hunt.

"Let me take care of them," Allen made it clear that he would handle the situation. He gestured for Larissa to stay back and observe, assuring her that there was no need for her to step in. It was a confident gesture, one that conveyed his belief in their ability to navigate this quest smoothly without exerting unnecessary effort.

With a swift and practiced motion, Allen activated his skill.

'Hellfire Rain.'

Suddenly, the air around Allen crackled with intensity, and flames began to materialize above him. These weren't ordinary flames; they were otherworldly, an embodiment of hellish fury. As the fire rained down from the virtual heavens, it seemed as though the very fabric of the game world itself was aflame.

The first tendrils of fire hit the ground, and chaos erupted in an instant. The players who had been celebrating their victory over the Cave Giants were caught off guard, their jubilation turning to panic as they realized the inferno that surrounded them.

The flames spread with alarming speed, engulfing everything in their path. The players, both melee and ranged, were caught in the maelstrom of fire, their avatars writhing in agony as their HP bars plummeted. It was a sight of pure devastation as players desperately tried to flee the relentless onslaught of flames.

The Cave Giants, once formidable foes, now found themselves helpless victims of the Hellfire Rain. Their massive bodies were engulfed in the searing blaze, their rocky exteriors crackling and shattering under the intense heat. Even their massive HP pools couldn't withstand the relentless assault, and they too succumbed to the inferno.

Amidst the chaos, the tank players struggled to protect their comrades. However, the healers, who were crucial for keeping the tanks alive, found themselves overwhelmed by the overwhelming power of the Hellfire Rain. Their attempts to cast healing spells were in vain as the flames consumed them mercilessly.

It was a scene of utter carnage, as players desperately tried to escape the fiery tempest. Some attempted to use potions or defensive skills to survive, but their efforts were in vain. The Hellfire Rain was unrelenting, a force of destruction that left no room for escape or salvation.

The once-victorious players now lay defeated, their HP reached zero. The aftermath of the Hellfire Rain was a field of destruction, with charred remnants of what had once been a lively battlefield.

A series of announcements quickly appeared in front of Allen and Larissa.

[Kill Players 3/10]

[Kill Players 6/10]

[Kill Players 10/10]

[Congratulations! You have completed your daily quest!]

[You have gained EXP!]

Even though the quest had been completed, the announcement still appeared as the players fell.

[Kill Players 15/10]

[Kill Players 22/10]

[Kill Players 26/10]

The cacophonous chaos that had once reigned in the cave had been abruptly extinguished, replaced by an eerie and solemn silence. The fiery maelstrom that had consumed both players and monsters had left behind a grim tableau of destruction. The once-lively battlefield was now littered with lifeless avatars and shattered monsters.

The air was heavy with the acrid scent of smoke, and the cave's walls bore the marks of the fiery devastation that had unfolded within its confines. The ground itself was scorched and blackened, a testament to the destructive power of Allen's Hellfire Rain.

Only the crackling of the lingering flames broke the oppressive silence that hung in the air. The fire's glow cast eerie shadows across the charred landscape, creating a haunting and surreal tableau of destruction.

"That was fast," Allen whispered to Larissa, a bemused cringe tugging at his lips. This, undoubtedly, had to be some sort of record for them.

"It didn't even last a minute," Larissa replied, her voice tinged with equal astonishment. The brevity of the encounter had taken them both by surprise.

"So? Shall we check Ront's market?" Allen asked, leaning closer to Larissa, his words barely audible above the crackling embers of the recently extinguished flames.

Larissa, however, turned to him with a thoughtful expression. Her eyes met his, and she proposed an alternative plan. "Since we're here, how about we check this island out first? Maybe we can find something interesting in the market," she suggested, her voice carrying a hint of curiosity.

Allen considered her suggestion, nodding in agreement. "Sounds like a good idea," he admitted.

They walked into the dungeon. Huddled behind a massive, weathered pillar deep within the dungeon. Their once-fiery battlefield had now been reduced to a chilling silence, interrupted only by the spectral echoes of their previous battle. The fallen players, their avatars lying lifeless on the cavern floor, began to disappear one by one.

Using their Disguise skills, they casually stepped out from behind the pillar and strolled toward the dungeon entrance. As far as anyone could tell, they appeared to be adventurers who had completed their hunting session.

Emerging from the dungeon's depths and stepping into the open air, Allen and Larissa were met with an unexpected spectacle. The atmosphere had transformed dramatically from the fiery battleground within the cave to a serene, almost surreal beachscape. The sound of fireworks exploded overhead, illuminating the sky with dazzling bursts of color that contrasted beautifully with the darkening night.

The beach before them, a picturesque haven, unfolded with its coconut trees swaying gently in the breeze, their slender silhouettes casting enchanting shadows upon the sandy shore. The calm sea stretched out into the horizon, its surface glistening like a tapestry woven from moonlight. Gentle waves ebbed and flowed, their rhythmic lullaby creating a soothing background melody.

Despite the clock's unwavering insistence that it was still morning in the real world, this virtual oasis had been magically transformed into a romantic nocturnal paradise. The artificial sky overhead was studded with countless stars, each one contributing to the dreamy ambiance. It was a place that seemed tailor-made for couples seeking a romantic escape.
