Chapter 784: 784
Shadow Killer was completely convinced of Nie Yan’s strength . Even though their exchange was brief and Nie Yan only used the most basic skills, under that rush down, he had no opportunity to retaliate . This was the difference in their strength .
“You go there, and I’ll go here,” Nie Yan said . Looking up ahead, the tunnel forked into five different paths .
“Alright . ” Shadow Killer nodded .
After the two entered back into stealth, Nie Yan said in voice chat,「Everyone, report your coordinates every few minutes . 」
In order to avoid accidents from happening, Nie Yan could only rely on this method . Sharing coordinates didn’t take much effort anyway .
「Will do, Boss!」Everyone shared their coordinates .
As Nie Yan ventured deeper into the cave, he heard the beckoning of a voice, causing him to unwillingly head toward it .
It was quite strange . Nie Yan could still maintain a clear mind, but he was compelled to move toward the voice .
After traversing through the winding passageways for roughly half-an-hour, Nie Yan arrived in an enormous chamber . The magnificent sight left him breathless . He could hardly see the ceiling, which had to be at least 100 meters high, while down below was a roaring river of lava that constantly spewed out flames into the air . A stone bridge, hovering several meters above the lava, connected both sides of the room . It was roughly five meters wide and at least 500 meters long . Surprisingly, it just lay flat across the river like a plank with no supporting structure at all . How it didn’t collapse was beyond him .
Looking at the end of the bridge, Nie Yan saw a towering obelisk . A big, burly giant was chained up to it by his four limbs . The chains were short, not giving him much room to move . He was a five-meter tall mass of muscles and lacked the wings of a demon, but his skin was coarse and red just like one . His clothes were torn beyond repair, barely covering his private area .
A Level 180 Demonified Lord . However, bound by chains, he wasn’t nearly as dangerous as other similar existences . Perhaps, even a Level 130 Demonified Lord was its match now . Even so, this monster wasn’t to be trifled with . It could easily slaughter Nie Yan’s group if they weren’t careful .
The demon raised his head to look at Nie Yan, his eyes flashing with a crimson light .
A low and demonic voice rang out in Nie Yan’s mind . Puny human, free me from these shackles, and I shall reward you with boundless power and endless wealth . You will become an unrivalled existence and lord over all others . . .
Nie Yan involuntarily took several steps forward, but he forcefully stopped himself . He knew if he succumbed to Drakuru’s temptations, he would become a traitor to the Righteous Faction . The consequences would be severe .
Hearing Drakuru’s words, Nie Yan couldn’t help but be reminded of a similar event in the previous timeline . Shrimp Rider . Like many in Conviction, he had a pretty ridiculous sounding character name . He was an elven Shadow Dancer who preferred levelling in the wilderness alone over partying up with others, the low-key kind . As a result, few people understood him . At some point in time, Angels Corps had blacklisted him . So, even on the odd occasion he did wish to find a team, no one would invite him . His anger slowly built up, until one day he released it all . It’d become a black month in Angel Corps’ history, as he slaughtered on average more than 400 of their players each day .
This was a huge humiliation for Angel Corps . They mobilized all their Masters to surround Shrimp Rider before finally killing him . Since his name was dark red from killing so many players, he dropped all his equipment . After that event, he disappeared for a long time .
However, roughly five months later, Shrimp Rider reappeared in public once more . He wore the title of Demon Carnager, a variant class . Wielding two demon daggers, he struck fear in the hearts of all those who saw him . He immediately began his revenge on Angel Corps, killing six of their Masters and countless other elites . They were completely helpless against him, and for a time, he was unrivalled in the entire game . However, in the middle of his massacre, the demon within him gained more control until he became an enemy of the Satreen Empire . After being hunted down by their high level NPCs, he once more disappeared and never showed back up again .
Regarding Shrimp Rider, Nie Yan didn’t really know how to evaluate him . Relying only on his own strength, he had forced Angel Corps to such a sorry state . This was truly worthy of admiration . In the previous timeline, when Nie Yan was being hunted down by the forces of Victorious Return, he went into hiding in the mountains with his team members . He had only killed about 600 Victorious Returns in total, and most of them weren’t even elites of the guild .
Only the most fierce characters would dare to face off against a super guild like Angel Corps .
Nie Yan wondered what would happen if he accepted Drakuru’s offer . Would he end up like Shrimp Rider and become a Demon Carnager? Did the two of them receive the same quest?
Obviously, Nie Yan would never accept Dakuru’s offer . He was Asskickers United’s guild leader . There were far too many people who counted on him . If he became a Demon Carnager, what would become of the guild?
As a guild leader, Nie Yan could no longer behave as wilfully as a solo player .
Seeing Nie Yan refusing to give into his temptation, Drakuru’s eyes shone with an ever increasing demonic light .
Nie Yan suddenly started feeling slightly dizzy .
Crap! Mind control magic!
Nie Yan quivered and hurriedly activated Mind Immune .
