Chapter 345 The Playground of the Viscount of Darkness
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
The players could only participate in Crimson Blood in version 3.0 since they were only qualified for this mission. The changes in the Gods’ world were independent of the development of players.
It did not mean that if the players did not participate in the mission, the Descent of Darkness would not happen.
In William’s previous life, three dark events occurred in version 3.0 that shocked the entire Legendary continent.
The first one took place in a small vassal state of the northern Blue Frost Empire. Millions of people died overnight due to a dark curse or a plague.
After then, the dukedom became a place devoid of intelligent creatures. Poison mist and many terrifying creatures existed everywhere.
The second event was Kerenza falling into the Dark World and the resurgence of the Blood Moon Dark Witch.
In this event, only a few rescuers, members of the royal family, and some lucky professionals could be saved by the sages. The city consisting of more than two million people fell into the Dark World and became the food of the dark creatures.
This event had a great influence on William’s previous life.
The players had extensively discussed it on the forum while the major races of the Legendary continent had also talked about it.
The third event was Makhu Redd sacrificing a Dukedom’s human city that had a population of hundreds of thousands. He offered them to the Devil Lord in exchange for increasing his power.
Ahem!
Makhu Redd was a dark warlock who pretended to be dead.
William was angry that he had failed to kill him. Makhu Redd could always flee and was as resourceful as William.
Due to the butterfly effect, William did not know which Human city Makhu Redd would sacrifice to the Devil Lord.
“After all, I had defeated him. God knows where he’s hiding now.” William looked up at the huge Blood Moon that seemed to be engulfing the entire city.
He muttered the words in his heart and ignored it. But his companions were feeling the chills.
There heard howling, shrill screams, sounds of chewing flesh and bones, and rapid crawling sounds from creatures.
The city was filled with strange sounds.
In the thick mist, Diablo and his companions noticed monsters periodically flashing in front of them.
They believed that many dark creatures hidden in the mist had discreetly followed them, bidding for a chance to kill them.
The ten players walked, holding each other’s arms and wielding their weapons. They were afraid of monsters charging and instantly killing them.
Fatty’s live broadcast had become a Halloween broadcast. Many players refused to watch it…
Tsk, tsk!
It was a sad situation for Fatty.
Fortunately, William did not leave any weak members behind; neither did he send out scouts to sacrifice themselves.
The players walked in the center while he and Xiyan led in the front. Burned Cinder, Lautner, and Diablo guarded the rear.
It was not the time for the players to sacrifice themselves.
The ten players had 60 lives, and William had to make full use of them.
William led the group to the main street instead of the small alleys. He had to be cautious. He did not know when a tunnel might appear, making them fall into the Dark World.
Although they could return, it was still a huge risk…
“Prince William, where are we going? How long are we going to walk?” Lautner, who was draped in a silver cloak, asked.
William glanced at him and pointed to a tall black shadow in front. “We’ve arrived!”
Everyone lifted their heads to see a tall building obscured by the mist, emitting fighting noises.
“Let’s go in.” William did not hesitate. He immediately brought them to the building and kicked open the broken door.
Dark creatures were present everywhere. But, they weren’t the weak skeletons. Instead, they were super monsters with terrifying looks and strong combat skills.
There was a monster who had no facial features, but his chest had a big mouth. He turned around and pounced on William, sharp fangs instantly growing out of the monster’s mouth.
William was not concerned as he pummeled the fanged mouth with his left fist.
Bang!
The fist penetrated through the intestines!
Countless thunder could be heard coming from the body, and the body surface became charred. Blood spewed out from his back, while lightning bolts illuminated the entire hall for a moment.
This was the Church of Light used by the believers of the Temple of Light…
At the same time, everyone noticed the numerous Temple Knights, who were fighting not far away.
One of them was extremely prominent.
He was the heroic Lancelot, who valiantly fought the dark creatures.
Everyone glanced at William with curiosity.
He was indeed a good friend of Lancelot. No wonder, he wanted to risk his life in this forsaken place.
When Lancelot saw William, his eyes lit up with an unbelievable but very happy expression. He seemed to be saying, “Hey bro, how did you know that I was in danger?”
“Kill all the dark creatures!” William screamed, swinging the Sword of Hegni. He activated a Thunder Slash, and the narrow sword energy swept across thousands of dark creatures. The waists of tens of dark creatures in the front were severed.
As William had said, the dark creatures were all abnormal.
Even if their waists were severed, the wounds that were covered with black blood tried to heal back. With time, the dark creatures would be completely healed.
Some severed dark creatures even crawled towards William.
When Lancelot saw the arrival of reinforcements, he did not hold back his strength. The sword in his hand flashed with Holy Light. He broke out of the siege with eight of his Temple Knights and joined William and his companions.
“How did you know I’m here?” Lancelot curiously asked when he saw William.
“There are many Temple Knights and priests in the Temple of Light, so they are safe.
“I knew you would look for some historical buildings in an attempt to find information about the ‘Blood Moon Dark Witch’. This Church of Light should be a good place to start,” William replied. He did not care if Lancelot believed him or not. Instead, he charged against the dark creatures.
Lancelot was bewildered. Was there such a reason? Even Lancelot could not figure out what he was going to do next…
He did not know that he had written about this part in his in-game biography…
William was very concerned about the protagonist NPCs. After Lancelot had written his biography, William had reluctantly spent ten gold coins to buy a copy, and had thoroughly read it.
The biography had recorded in detail the ‘Blood Moon Dark Witch’ incident, and how the confident Lancelot became despondent.
This was the place where Lancelot and the Viscount of Darkness had confronted each other for the first time.
It was the first battlefield where the Viscount of Darkness had fooled Lancelot.
The Viscount of Darkness had made use of the battlefield of ‘Blood Moon Dark Witch’ to play his own game.
The reason why the Legendary Devil Lord had made the rules in the game was that it was a request by the Viscount of Darkness.
It had been the starting point for the battle between the Viscount of Light and Viscount of Darkness.
It had also been the initial downturn of the Viscount of Light…
“Of course, I didn’t come here just for you. The Kerenza Grand Duchy offered generous terms for my mercenaries, so I was tempted.” William was not worried that Lancelot would die.
Because the Viscount of Darkness could not bear to kill him…
William was not concerned about Lancelot’s depression as he was stronger than that…
Lancelot was a cockroach. The more he was beaten, the stronger he became.
The rewards offered by Kerenza Grand Duchy were too tempting.
Many Grandmaster professionals were afraid of death. Otherwise, there would’ve been many professionals taking up the rescue mission.
Lancelot punched a tentacle monster and turned around while slashing his sword. The Holy Light-imbued sword energy instantly killed many dark creatures. He gasped and looked at William beside him. “Do you know how to bring this city back to the Legendary continent?”
“Blood Moon.” William suddenly gave a kick, but the headless knight in front of him braced for the attack and remained stationary!
William had to back up. He pointed with the middle finger of his left hand.
Pitter-patter!
A strong electric bolt immediately penetrated the chest of the headless knight. Many dark creatures behind him also collapsed from the thunder attack.
“The Blood Moon Dark Witch is the key. A few hundred years ago, she had used all her efforts to drag the entire city into the dark abyss. But just as she was about to complete the last step, the King of Kerenza had cut her…” William paused before he said, “The witch was cursed by the Legendary Devil Lord and had an undead body.
Half of her soul was hidden in the Dark World.
When her body was damaged, she would be rejuvenated. She could not be destroyed without a powerful Legendary professional.
At that time, the King of Kerenza had not wanted to blow up the matter, so he had not sought the help of Legendary professionals. Her body was cut into pieces and sealed in certain places.”
“How do you know about these?” Lancelot and William’s companions were shocked.
William mischievously laughed. “You don’t have to know. When you arrived at Church of Light, you happened to encounter a group of dark creatures. It was not an intentional ambush. The dark creatures wanted to retrieve a part of the witch’s body.”
Lancelot’s eyes lit up as he said, “We can’t let them succeed.”
“No! They have to leave with the witch’s body part. Only by killing the Blood Moon Dark Witch, can we stop the city from falling into the abyss. We must allow her to resurrect.” William shook his head.
Everyone felt helpless.
William remained confident. “Don’t worry! Leave everything to me!”
At this instance, William seemed majestic.
It did not matter what the problem was. As long as he was around, everything could be solved.
Even Xiyan’s eyes flashed with tiny stars.
Nobody noticed William tossing out an item.
It was a black scroll. After it had been thrown out, it transformed into a little black snake that wrapped around a strong dark creature.
After William’s explanation, the group withdrew from the dark creature-infested Church of Light.
They were about to encounter another more precarious situation.
At that time, powerful believers of the ‘Blood Moon Dark Witch’ and the hidden Viscount of Darkness would appear.
