GOR Chapter 451 Demon King

Chen Xiaolian’s heart instantly sank .

It became more difficult for him to speak and he took a few steps back . “You are a… Player!”

There was something that Chen Xiaolian did not say: High-rank Player!

It was simple enough of a deduction . At present, the system had yet to issue a prompt indicating the arrival of Players . In other words… … this Shen, a Player, was able to enter this instance dungeon before the time designated by the system . Thus, he was most likely similar to Miao Yan, a holder of an Exclusive Account, a High-rank Player with exclusive privileges .

Shen smiled as he observed Chen Xiaolian . “That look in your eyes right now . It seems like you will be charging at me with the intent to kill at any moment . ”

Chen Xiaolian gave a harrumph and replied, “I could say the same about you . ”

“And that makes me curious . In this second phase, the system had clearly stated that killing between game participants is prohibited . Why is it that you seem capable to taking action?” Shen shook his head . “I have some special privileges, but what about you? You are an Awakened, no? Yet why does it seem like you too, possess some special privileges?”

Chen Xiaolian did not respond . He simply took a few more steps back as his frowning face kept staring at Shen .

A High-rank Player with an Exclusive Account just like Miao Yan… … he was very clear on how powerful Miao Yan was .

In the Qin Shihuang’s Mausoleum instance dungeon, she was able to fight evenly against Bai Qi for quite some time .

The powers of Bai Qi back in the Qin Shihuang’s Mausoleum and the Bai Qi that was now his War Pet were of two completely different realms . The strength possessed by War Pet Bai Qi was far inferior compared to the one in Qin Shihuang’s Mausoleum .

“We have been travelling together for so long now . If I had wanted to fight you, we would have started fighting long ago . So, you can stop giving me that ferocious stare now . ” Shen smiled wryly, spreading open both hands again . “You see, the term Player is just an identity . ”

Chen Xiaolian continued staring at Shen . He assessed him from top to bottom before curling the corners of his mouth, revealing a faint smile . He loosened his fist and kept back the Sword in the Stone . “All right, your words do sound logical . ”

Seeing the high-minded manner displayed by Chen Xiaolian, Shen became stunned . He was unable to stop himself from smiling . “Eh? You are quite the interesting fellow . If some other Awakened was in your shoes, they would have either charged at me with the intent of fighting to the death or… turn around and run . ”

Chen Xiaolian pursed his lips to the side and replied, “Another Player would not have allowed me to sit behind them while exposing their back as they were riding a motorcycle . ”

“If so, let us get along peacefully for now!” Shen laughed .

Chen Xiaolian forced himself to smile . “If you are done joking around, I now have to go deal with this issue of mine . ” Pausing, he cast a cautious look at Shen . “At present, my teammates might be in trouble . If you can tell me what you know, I will be grateful to you . But if you don’t have any intentions of helping, then we should go our separate ways . I will be moving on my own . ”

“This is the reason why you decided not to fight with me, right?” Shen shook his head . “All right, since your teammates have already entered this branch quest, I don’t mind sharing some more information with you . ”

After saying that, Shen indicated his surroundings and the slime on the ground . “These things are the remnants of a certain darkness attribute power, Corrosion . ”

“Darkness attribute power? How did you know about that?”

“Player privilege,” said Shen mirthfully . “Naturally, you natives would not receive such privilege . We are the ones from the same world as the Development Team after all . Of course we will take care of our own first . ”

Chen Xiaolian nodded his head . “I can accept that rationale . I don’t quite like the word ‘natives’, but… … please continue . And get to the key point . ”

“This instance dungeon is the Holy City instance . Thus, the contents of this instance dungeon will have some connections with ancient legends . ” Shen considered it before slowly speaking, “This branch quest is actually a hidden one . The description of the storyline I received is this: A power that was accidentally split out of the Dark Abyss schemes to awaken and has corrupted a place beside the holy city . A river of blood flows as darkness hides within the shadows of the holy city of light, awaiting the opportunity to rise . ”

“Light? Darkness? Opportunity to rise? What is that supposed to be?”

“I am guessing that it might be a… … feather . ”

“Feather?”

“Correct . However, this is no ordinary feather . It is… a feather that fell off the wings of a Demon King . ”

…

“In the legends, God suppressed the demons and the Dark Abyss, home to the demons was under the constant suppression of God’s power . To be more accurate, the demon faction lost to the power of light and ended up suppressed by God . Some were even enslaved .

“Among them was a powerful demon, one known as Demon King .

“This Demon King lost to God and was punished heavily . God cut off its wings, sealing its power for eternity . However, as the battle was raging, the cunning Demon King secretly cast out a feather from his cut off wings into the human realm .

“This feather bears the mark of the Demon King . It is a seed possessing the power of darkness . This seed is awaiting the moment of awakening, when it will sprout once more, grow stronger and allow the power of darkness to rise once more .

“The branch quest in this instance dungeon is about this feather . ”

After hearing that, Chen Xiaolian asked, “Could it be that this feather possesses the ability to resurrect the Demon King?”

“No, not resurrect . ” Shen smiled and continued, “You made a mistake . The Demon King has been sealed . The thing that escaped is just a feather bearing his mark, a seed .

“The demon’s goal is not resurrection or survival, rather… … they want the power of darkness to descend upon this world, transforming it into the dark abyss of their wishes . The demons care not about their own life and death . To them, a world ruled by the power of darkness is the ultimate pursuit .

“In other words, this feather is a manifestation of the Demon King . Whatever happens to this feather, the Demon King itself will continue to be sealed . This will not change .

“However, if this feather grows strong enough, it can eventually transform into another existence similar to the Demon King . That is a possibility . ”

Chen Xiaolian nodded to indicate his understanding of the issue .

“This feather fell off the body of the Demon King . Therefore, although it is very weak in its initial stage, its attributes and powers should generally be similar to that of the Demon King . In other words, its rate of growth is very high?” Chen Xiaolian asked as he looked at Shen . “You are probably here for the feather, right? You want to obtain this feather?”

Shen smiled openly . “I am always interested in collecting articles of diverse powers . ”

Chen Xiaolian looked at Shen . “I keep getting the feeling that you are withholding something . For example… … I am curious . What is the relationship between this branch quest and the main storyline of the Jerusalem instance dungeon?”

Shen put on a poker face . “Naturally, I will not be telling you… … we are not actually teammates here . I told you all those things as goodwill and reward for letting me ride the motorcycle . ”

Chen Xiaolian looked at Shen in frustration . “Is there any meaning in you saying that? A vehicle… … I don’t for one second believe that a High-rank Player like you would have no way to get a means of transport . Even if you don’t have a storage equipment, couldn’t you have dashed or flown over by yourself?”

Shen smiled . “Fine… … I will admit . The truth is… I came here for you, Mr Chen Xiaolian, esteemed Guild Leader of Meteor Rock Guild . ”

Chen Xiaolian’s body gave a shudder .

He was clear on one thing . He had never revealed to Shen that he was from Meteor Rock Guild .

…

Qiao Qiao stood there with one hand holding her forehead . Her eyes were closed but her eyelids were trembling faintly .

A hint of pain appeared on her face, as she seemed to be wracking her brains on something .

“Sister?” Soo Soo called out of concern .

Qiao Qiao waved with one hand and shook her head . She forced her eyes open and spoke in a hoarse voice, “I am digesting its powers of darkness… … mm, there are also a lot of memories . It is too big… … I cannot afford to be distracted . ”

…

Seeing the mysterious display by Shen, Chen Xiaolian was unable to help himself from feeling puzzled .

Why would a High-rank Player become interested in him? So much so that he would run over to meet up with him along the way .

In this circle, the name Meteor Rock Guild was not that well known .

Looking at the prideful expression on Shen’s face, Chen Xiaolian’s mind raced . An involuntary desire rose within him to put an end to that prideful expression on Shen’s face .

“Then, let me take a guess . ” Chen Xiaolian deliberately smiled and continued in a hushed tone, “For you to take note of me, there can only be one explanation . The guild that I belong to, Meteor Rock Guild must have had some degree of involvement with you . ”

He stroked his forehead . “Let me think . The Player guilds that I have encountered before… mm, the Wind Slasher Guild can no longer be considered since their entire guild is probably no more . ”

Chen Xiaolian noticed Shen pursing his lips to the side . It would appear that he held a certain disdain toward Wind Slasher Guild .

“The only other Player guild that I had any involvement with…” Chen Xiaolian stared at Shen and continued, “Thorned Flower!”

He quickly continued, “In the Tokyo instance dungeon, I had fought against Thorned Flower Guild, even killing off your men . And then there was the London instance dungeon… … I encountered another fellow from Thorned Flower Guild who just happened to be in the opposing faction . Mm, I thought that I had dealt with the issue carefully . However, it would seem that you people have special ways of getting information .

“If so, Mr Shen… … you are a member of Thorned Flower Guild, right? Is the reason you came to find me for the sake of exacting vengeance?”

Shen smiled . It was a calm smile . “This is Jerusalem, so I will use this place’s mannerism to reply your question: The time allocated by God for everyone is fair . Each person will have however much time is allocated onto him or her . Those that died under you, although you are the one who killed them, it could be said that the time allocated for them by God had come to an end . So… … you know . ”

“If not for revenge… … then what?” Chen Xiaolian stared with widened eyes .

“It is simple . Back in the Tokyo instance dungeon, you killed off a competent general of mine . ”

“Tian Lie!” Chen Xiaolian’s pupils contracted .
