“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.”
