Chapter 135: Chapter 135: The Way to Leave The Shadow Abyss - Soul-Shattering Stone
The Evil Monarch still believed he was in an illusion, and he roared, then immediately attacked.
"Die!" Maiev blocked in front of Johnnie, and with her divine power, she easily bound him in place.
Johnnie looked at the one who seemed to be going crazy, and he was a bit curious about what kind of illusion this guy had gone through.
He said, "Wake up, this isn’t an illusion anymore."
"Huh?" The Evil Monarch looked around, his expression was a bit confused. When he saw it was the familiar Demon Lair, he finally relaxed a bit.
Then, he looked at Johnnie with a furious expression and shouted, "You lowlife human, you broke your promise! You said you wouldn’t attack us, but why did you trap us here?"
"I only said I wouldn’t kill you. I never said I’d let you go." Johnnie looked innocent.
"You!" The Evil Monarch was furious. He finally realized he had been tricked by this human.
Johnnie interrupted him, "Okay, I’ll give you a chance. Tell me how to leave the Demon Lair, and I’ll let you go completely."
"Huh? Ha ha!" The Evil Monarch laughed out loud when he heard that. "Human, do you think I’m stupid? The task you gave us had loopholes. You’re obviously trying to take us out of the Demon Lair and kill us!"
"You’re pretty smart." Johnnie said coldly. It wasn’t surprising that this guy could sense it.
He continued, "Then, tell me how to leave the Demon Lair, and I promise I won’t attack you."
The Evil Monarch frowned a bit, he was tempted, but still cautious. He said, "Not me, but all the powerful demonic creatures who are trapped with me!"
"Okay. I promise not to attack you inside the Demon Lair, and I won’t take you out of the Demon Lair." Johnnie hesitated a little, but he still agreed.
These demonic creatures were no longer of much value to him. Killing them would just give him some experience and gear.
He didn’t care about those little rewards.
"Also, your companion." The Evil Monarch looked at Maiev beside him, and he was cautious.
"Fine." Johnnie nodded. "Now you can tell me how to leave the Demon Lair, right?"
The Evil Monarch didn’t rush. He frowned, thinking about whether the conditions he had agreed to had any loopholes. After making sure there were no loopholes, he reissued the task.
Special task: information exchange. Exchange the way to leave the Demon Lair for Johnnie and his group not attacking them.
Of course, they also couldn’t attack Johnnie and his group first, otherwise the task restriction would be invalid.
Johnnie accepted the task and said, "Now you can tell me, right?"
The Evil Monarch smiled, his expression was a little smug. "Human, even if I tell you, you still can’t leave. No one can resist the power of The Shadow Abyss except The Demon God."
Johnnie frowned and his expression turned dark. He asked, "Why can The Demon God leave? Don’t tell me it’s because he’s a god."
"Approximately. If you master the Dark Law and have a Demon Wing, you can leave. That’s something only The Demon God can do. If I’m not mistaken, you’ve been searching for Dark-Spirit Pearls to understand the Dark Law, but the Demon Wing can only be formed by a god."
The Evil Monarch looked amused and didn’t hide anything.
He believed that even if they knew the way, the group would still be unable to leave.
Johnnie and the two women exchanged a glance with each other, and their hearts felt a bit relieved.
The Demon Wing could only be by gods, but if you killed a god, you could obtain the Demon Wing.
And Johnnie had the Demon Wing from the soul of The Map of Heaven and Earth.
But to fuse the Demon Wing, he needed the bloodline of the Demonic Creatures.
Johnnie did not have the bloodline of the Demonic Creatures.
He still had two ways to leave this place, to obtain the bloodline of the Demonic Creatures, and to fuse the Demon Wing.
The second method was to subdue one of the Evil Monarchs and have him fuse the Demon Wing, and with his mastery of the Dark Law, he could also leave the Shadow Abyss.
But the Demon Wing was powerful, and Johnnie wanted to fuse it himself.
He looked at the Evil Monarch and asked in a calm tone, "Does that mean you have to become the Demon God to gather the Demon Wing?" freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
"No." the Evil Monarch shook his head. "For you, you first have to obtain the bloodline of the Demonic Creatures."
"How can you obtain the bloodline of the Demonic Creatures?" Johnnie guided step by step.
The Evil Monarch hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke: "There is the bloodline of the Demonic Creatures here, in the cursed area of the Shadow Abyss, but it is guarded by a fragment of the Demon God."
"The Demon God’s fragment is guarding it? What’s special about that place?" Johnnie asked curiously.
A fragment of a god, if not under special power suppression, is a stage 9 legendary warrior, and with divine power, it is far stronger than a stage 9 legendary warrior.
The Evil Monarch shook his head and said with caution, "Human, this question has nothing to do with your leaving the Demon Lair."
Johnnie smirked. He guessed that there must be something valuable there, otherwise the Demon God’s fragment wouldn’t be guarding it.
He continued: "Where exactly is the cursed area?"
The Evil Monarch hesitated for a moment and said, "It’s deep in the Demon Lair. There is evil curse power there, and it causes you to lose 10% of your health points per second. No Demonic Creatures except the Demon God and his fragments can enter."
"Is there really such a special place?" Johnnie hadn’t heard of a special realm that could cause percentage-based health loss.
But it didn’t affect him.
He had Maiev’s blessing, which restored 10% of his health per second, which was just enough to resist the curse.
"Human, I’ve told you everything I know. Can you let us go now?" the Evil Monarch asked cautiously.
Johnnie nodded and didn’t hassle those guys. He moved his mind, and released all the hundreds of strong people who were trapped in the Canvas of Illusions, including eight of the Evil Monarchs.
They all looked pale and terrified, and once they confirmed they were out of the illusion, they didn’t dare to attack Johnnie and quickly fled.
"Those guys are lucky." The Red Carp said coldly, watching them run away.
She had been trapped in the Whispering Gorge and failed the trial because of the Demonic Creatures’ interference.
Johnnie said, "I’m just letting them go for now. I’ll eliminate them when the chance comes."
Due to the task restrictions, they couldn’t attack those Demonic Creatures strongmen in the Shadow Abyss.
"Let’s go. First, we need to get the bloodline of the Demonic Creatures and leave this place." Johnnie walked deeper into the Shadow Abyss. He had a pair of Demon Wings on him, and once he obtained the bloodline of the Demonic Creatures, he could fuse and merge them.
Soon, the group encountered a large number of Magic Soldiers and Demonic Guards again.
But this time, no Demon General or higher-level strongmen appeared. It seemed that those guys had learned about Johnnie’s terrifying power and had specifically ordered that no Demon General or above should attack them.
Johnnie didn’t act immediately. He opened his status panel and allocated his free attribute points.
After fusing the Dark-Spirit Pearl, he was out of combat mode, and all the accumulated damage and attack speed were reset.
These Magic Soldiers were strong and numerous, mostly stage 6 warriors. He could handle them, but mass killing them was still too difficult. He had to improve his strength first.
These days, after killing a large number of Demonic Creatures, his free attribute points had accumulated to over seventy thousand.
He thought for a moment and added one thousand points each to his constitution and dexterity, and distributed the rest evenly between strength and spirit to improve his damage output.
At this point, Johnnie’s four basic attributes had all broken through the ten thousand mark. His strength and spirit had even reached over thirty-three thousand points.
His current attributes were comparable to an average stage 8 monster.
Roar...
At this moment, a series of angry roars echoed in the distance. Wandering Magic Soldiers and Demonic Guards had detected Johnnie and the others, and they roared as they charged in.
"Come on." Johnnie sneered and activated the Great Transformation Sword Technique.
Plop...
Blood splattered, and damage numbers flashed.
-27,500
One Magic Soldier was instantly killed by Johnnie.
His current attack was astonishingly over twelve thousand. After mastering the Dark Law, the dark magic damage that came with the Sword Immortal profession had doubled. It also included over six hundred points of true damage.
The flying sword flashed, and the Void Sword opened wide, as Johnnie launched another brutal massacre.
This time, he didn’t use the Five Elements Technique.
The Five Elements Technique had already been upgraded to level 6 during this time, so there was no need to keep upgrading it.
Killing these Magic Soldiers and Demonic Guards could help the Seven Sword and Void Sword advance.
It also helped increase the proficiency of The Technique of Swordsmanship for Controlling Swords.
[You have killed a stage 6, level 1 Magic Soldier. You gain 20 experience points.]
[You are under the Seal Demon Spell. You cannot level up, but you can still gain experience normally.]
...
The prompt messages kept coming, and Johnnie’s experience points were still steadily increasing.
At this moment, his experience had accumulated to over one hundred million. Once the Seal Demon Spell was broken, he could instantly reach stage 6.
But Johnnie was no longer in a hurry to break the Seal Demon Spell.
Killing Demonic Creatures allowed him to steadily gain free attribute points, and killing them one level above his current stage gave him experience that doubled.
With the passive damage and attack speed of the Great Transformation Sword Technique stacking, his killing speed was getting faster and faster.
Before long, all the Demonic Creatures in this area were wiped out.
"Master, I found a special item." Maiev cleaned up the battlefield and took out a pale blue, irregular jade stone and handed it to Johnnie.
He took it and looked at it curiously.
[Soul-Shattering Stone, attribute unknown, effect unknown]
[Collect ten Soul-Shattering Stones to fuse them into a complete Soul Stone. Only a god can use it.]
Soul Stone?
Johnnie was confused. He had never heard of this thing in his previous life.
He looked at Maiev and asked, "Maiev, do you know what this is?"
Maiev shook her head suspiciously. She had never heard of this item either.
Johnnie became even more puzzled. The Soul-Shattering Stone seemed to be a divine-grade item that dropped when the Lucky Master profession was triggered after killing one million Demonic Creatures.
If this Soul-Shattering Stone was already a divine-grade item, what would the complete Soul Stone be like?
This item had to be very powerful, but it required ten of them to be fused together, and only god-level warriors could use it.
Johnnie put it away casually. He wanted to see if more Soul-Shattering Stones would drop later, and once he had ten, he would know its exact effect.
"Let’s go. Keep moving forward."
The group continued deeper into the Demon Lair.
The number of Demonic Creatures here hadn’t increased, but had actually gotten fewer.
And the surrounding area was filled with a massive oppressive pressure.
It wasn’t the power of the Dark Law.
"This power seems a bit familiar." The Red Carp said, sensing the overwhelming pressure around them.
