Li Yi stared at the Dragonslayer for a long time before he put the black greatsword into the backpack.
He was thinking that if he were a Warrior, he could have been able to use this impressive weapon to defeat gods and demons.
Give it away?
It was such a valuable weapon. Li Yi did not seriously consider that at all, not to mention that he did not have any friends who played as a Warrior.
Which meant that no one could use it at all.
Sell it?
This was a good idea, but who would buy it?
Brother Windcloud Nine was the most suitable candidate, but he was a Paladin, he could not equip the Dragonslayer.
Li Yi had no idea who it should go to, and the Dragonslayer was stored in the Space Pearl for the time being.
The First Demon God Genghis died, and the demons suffered heavy losses. Their attributes fell, their strength declined, and now it was very easy for the players to kill them.
Li Yi returned to the Demon God Halls and did not leave right away. Instead, he found the Second Demon God by going ‘up, up, down, down, left, right, left, and right’ respectively and tried to challenge it.
If a player could kill all seven Demon Gods, he could go to Augustus to accept the Hall of Fame Quest. Li Yi had not had the honor to do it in his previous life. In this life, he had killed six; only the Second Demon God was left.
It would be unprofitable if he were to leave without trying.
At the end of the spiral corridor, Li Yi saw the Second Demon God.
She had raven black hair, violet eyes, an enchanting physiognomy, and an overall attractive feminine shape. Scantily clad, she was wearing a purple breastplate which revealed her midriff, barely covering her curvilinear twin peaks which were white as snow. She wore a short skirt, revealing a pair of pale thighs, straight and slender.
The Second Demon God was the only goddess among the seven. In addition to the title of Demon God, she also went by the sobriquet ‘First Beauty of the Demonic Tribe’.
Her name was Aersith, daughter of the former Demon Emperor, carrying the purest bloodline among her brethren.
There were rumors that she was originally intended to replace the First Demon God, but she faced some obstacles along the way and the puppet Genghis took the place.
Genghis lived much longer than the previous Demon Emperor, and because of its idiosyncrasy being the source of demonic power, it was carefully hidden in the most secluded area of the Demon God Castle. After the disappearance incident at Mount Pantheon, Genghis was elected as Demon Emperor by several Demon Gods who had ulterior motives.
The demon princess lived up to her name. She was also the strongest among the seven Demon Gods.
She held an emerald flute in her hand. It could be observed that she was a Vagabond.
“A powerful human. Was it you who killed Genghis?”
The demon princess pointed her flute at Li Yi and asked. He had not attacked her.
“Tch-psh-bish-tst-pst-brrrr—”
Li Yi released a Powered-up Arrow and then launched the Stinger Arrow. His purpose was very simple, that was to kill her.
He had been taught numerous times of her horrors in his previous life.
A dark purple Territory Barrier spread from Aersith and covered the entire map, including Li Yi. Then, something strange happened.
The Powered-up Arrow disappeared…
The Stinger Arrow had also disappeared…
She did not move a finger and repelled his fatal offense.
“Tootle-too…”
Aersith raised the flute horizontally along her mouth and played it.
The sound made Li Yi confused and he started running around involuntarily.
As a result, his foot stepped on a black block on the pavement and fell through the trap-door into a pit with spikes underneath.
Even resurrecting on the spot was useless and he chose to return to the city for free.
It had no use because the pit trap would instantly kill him again. He would die again the second he stood up. In order to save the expenses for repairing, he opted to return to the Continent from whence he came.
The dark purple Territory Barrier that Aersith released was called the Nihilistic Territory. It was so terrifying that it could make players descend from being to nothingness.
In the past life, there were only five players who successfully killed Aersith, and that was only after the Pantheon Mystery happened. None of the challengers were successful until the Pantheon Mystery was opened.
Li Yi returned to the city free of charge. Fortunately, his Sacramental Stone prevented his level from dropping, but all his equipment turned red. By the time he appeared at the Resurrection Point of the Celestial Capital, he was only in his undies.
The durability of all of his equipment was nil, and they were automatically stripped.
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut had been in the Shattered Bonewood for several months. She had no Repair Bots. Her original equipment had long been worn off, which was why she was wearing the Flaming Dragon Armor. Otherwise, vis-à-vis her personality, she would never dress in something that highly resembled bondage wear.
(Note: Flaming Dragon Armor and Li Yi’s orange-colored bow would never wear out.)
Li Yi released the Repair Bot and spent more than 600 Gold Coins to fix all the equipment.
The best equipment came correspondingly with its expensive repairing costs. For ordinary players, 600 Gold Coins were a huge sum, whether or not one could pay them was unknown.
Because the strength of the demons reduced, many players were taking advantage of this opportunity to enter the Foreignland. The monsters were easier to kill, not only was the speed of leveling up fast, but also the rate of dropping rare items was also high. Such a rare occasion would be gone once missed.
On this day, the number of players venturing into the Foreignland had surged by a dozen times. Even those players who mentioned that they would stay and challenge the Ancient Kings Dungeon Series had shaken their resolve and approached the Foreignland.
In the seventh hour after Li Yi’s return from the Foreignland, an unexpected anomaly happened.
The monsters in the Demon God Castle gathered in large numbers and massacred the players who were leveling beyond the castle walls. The Demonic Army passed the teleportation door to appear at Sin City. They united with the monsters and started killing the players.
Soon, the players near Sin City were cleared, followed by the Demonic Forest, and later the Foreignland Gate until the army of billions broke through the defensive line of the Three Human Heroes toward the Pantheon Continent.
[Augustus of the Invincible Continent was slain in battle, and the morale of the Invincible Continent dropped by 50%.]
[Anler of the Ninth Continent was slain in battle, and the morale of the Ninth Continent dropped by 50%.]
[Emperor Lan of the Assembled Gods Continent was slain in battle, and the morale of the Assembled Gods Continent dropped by 50%.]
[All Three Human Heroes are killed!]
The announcements hit Li Yi and he took some time to process the incident.
All Three Human Heroes had died in battle. This, for the love of God, was something that had not happened in the past eight years.
What happened? How did it happen? How did the weakened demons suddenly become so strong as if they were doped?
More than one billion demons flocked to the Invincible Continent, and Jiaojiao led the army in resistance. However, in the face of the red-eyed monsters, millions of players in the Invincible Continent could hardly stand in their way. Soon the defense was broken and the monsters broke into the main cities to ravage and plunder…
[The Castellan Tall and Mighty was slain in battle. The Drifting Snow City fell and was captured by demons…]
[The Castellan Shangguan Bailu was slain in battle. The Bailu City fell and was captured by demons…]
[The Castellan Mad Dragon was slain in battle. The Crazy City fell and was captured by demons…]
“Yo, f*cking gamemaster, what on earth is happening?”
“Weakened my ass, these monsters looked like they were on steroids, their strength has increased like the total exports of China after Deng’s reforms, f*ck man…”
“Damn, one of them green-skinned creatures took me down in a second and I am a f*cking MT Paladin with more than 500,000 HP!”
There was bedlam in the National Channel of the Invincible Continent. The players were mad at how unbelievably strong the demons were.
“Brother Yi, where are you? We can’t stop it, the monsters are too powerful. They are currently heading toward the Celestial Capital!”
“Big Boss, make haste, or my main city will fall.”
“Dark Wing, mon ami! Help your big brother to repel the invaders or I’m gonna lose my Castellan coronet…”
Things had escalated, and Li Yi’s private message notification saw no end to its ringing. He had no time to reply, he could only mute all of them and use the Alliance Channel to keep in touch.
“One at a time god damn it!”
“F*ck, stop panicking and heed my orders! All of you retreat to the Celestial Capital. I don’t give a hoot whether you are the Castellan of some grand city or a village chief in Timbuktu, immediately return to the Celestial Capital. If I don’t see you in half an hour, you are already dead.”
“Wake your friends who are currently offline, I don’t care if they are busy. If you don’t want to see the Celestial Capital in ashes, do it post-haste!”
Li Yi was visibly agitated.
The Demonic Army on steroids suddenly waged war and their numbers had reached more than one billion. Now it could only be described with terror. Wherever they went, there was destruction.
Never let them set foot in the Celestial Capital, or the Invincible Continent would become the second Assembled Gods Continent.
“Boss, the main cities of Assembled Gods Continent wasn’t attacked!”
“Guild Master, the Ninth Continent had not suffered from any siege attacks!”
The intelligence officers of the Iron Alliance continued to disclose the latest information. The news they received was that only the Invincible Continent had been attacked by demons, and the other two Continents were left unscathed.
Upon hearing this, Li Yi squinted.
Coincidence or inevitability?
Things like this had occurred in his past life, but the demons only attack one main city most of the time, and then they would retreat regardless of whether they succeeded or not.
Unlike the last time, they were destroying one main city after another, still unwilling to stop, as if insanity had taken the wheel.
Li Yi used Teleport to observe their movements, and ordered once more, “All of you must retreat to the Celestial Capital, I repeat, all of you must retreat to the Celestial Capital!”
Billions of demons had scattered, but all their roads led to the Celestial Capital of the Invincible Continent!
…
Meanwhile, in the Demon God Halls.
“Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!”
Seven black hearts were neatly placed in the middle of the hall and beat in immaculate rhythm…
“Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!”
