nWilliam did bring too many people to accompany him to the Devil’s Den.

nThis expedition was going to be very hazardous. It was more effective to send a few powerful warriors rather than pushing many soldiers to their death.

nHe chose two epic level warriors to come with him, Lautner and Eric.

nHe did not select as there had to be someone present to take command of the legion to form a defensive line. And without William’s signal, he was not to attack.

nEven though Alec was an assassin, William did not bring him either. Instead, he ordered him to scout for possible ambushes.

n

n

nBesides…

nWilliam had brought along Eric in their suicidal mission. If William did not arrange for his son, Alec, to be in a safe zone, the father Eric would not be happy and give his all.

nThough there was a saying that said when a father and a son were to fight together on the battlefield, they would be invincible.

nHowever, no father would want to risk the life of his son.

nIf that was not the case, why did Eric and his son hide in a border town after escaping from the Dark Assassin organization?

nAs for the Tauren, Fiu Roeser…

nIt was not worth mentioning!

nIt was still alright for him to fight against weak enemies. If William had chosen him, Fiu Roeser’s affinity for William would have dropped drastically. He might have even fled halfway…

nOf course, there was still William’s soul-bound slave, the Troll Bloody Crusher. His bloodline was only a master bloodline, but his level was very high. He was not suitable for sneak attacks. But his extreme strength and ferociousness when using his mace made his a good choice for direct assaults.

nThe Temple Messenger was out of the question. William might have considered Lancelot if he were present.

n

n

nAfter all, William had been a Lord for a long time. He had learned the complexity of human nature. When he did not have overwhelming power as an advantage, he had to be extra careful.

nTo William, ‘Gods’ was not a game.

nIt was a realistic world with life and death.

nHalf a day had passed, and William decided not to use his Light equipment set.

nHe donned the Thunder equipment set. Thunder was a nemesis to the dark creatures. He had chosen to give up his defenses so that he could defeat the BOSS with his Thunder equipment set.

n“I have 14,000 health points, more than enough . As long as I manage to keep my head intact, I don’t believe that a single blow can kill me. Moreover, there are also the bonuses of the epic level inner armor and the healing power of the Life Potion…” William smiled sinisterly. He led his companions carefully into the valley shrouded in mist.

nThey stealthily made their way. With William’s innate ability helping them, nobody discovered the party.

nBut they believed that the creatures of the Devil’s Den knew that William’s army had arrived.

nThe creatures of the Devil’s Den still had not responded. They wanted the battle to occur within the Devil’s Den, inside the valley shrouded in mist.

nThe objective of William and his companions in entering the valley was to scout for information. Even if they could not obtain useful intelligence, they could survey the terrain so that the legion would not get into trouble during an assault.

n

n

nThe mist gave off a terrible stench. The grass was rotten and had formed a black goo. Each step was like stepping on feces, feces that were perhaps of dark creatures…

nWilliam frowned. The foul stench had confirmed the existence of a Devil’s Den. There must be many dark creatures around here.

nIt was because he was very familiar with such a stench.

nIn the past, he had led rich players to exterminate the Devil’s Den. He had done it until he almost vomited.

nBut it was not because of the foul smell.

nThe reason for it being that he was disgusted by the vomiting of the rich players and the female players…

nThe world of dark creatures existed tens of thousands of meters below the continent of “Gods”.

nThe creatures in the Devil’s Den were monsters from the Dark World.

nThe existence of the Devil’s Den was very strange in itself.

nIt was a space gate that had formed after a collision of two dimensions. It served as a gateway that allowed the entry of creatures from both dimensions at will.

n

n

nBut nobody knew from which hole these dark creatures had crawled out of. After the great battle of the Gods era, the dark creatures had started appearing. Perhaps, these dark creatures were also present in the Gods era but had been hidden underground for some unknown reason.

nWilliam was unable to figure it out as there were no historical records about it.

nNobody knew how deep the Gods continent was. Perhaps the Dwarves of the Lonely Mountain did have some knowledge of it. Their deep excavation skills might have let them discover many dark creatures…

nNobody knew what the core of the Gods continent was. It could be a different world or even another dimension.

nHowever, it was a known fact that the dark creatures could not excavate their way up to the surface.

nIt was as though there was a barrier that stopped them from entering the Light World. They had to depend on the Devil’s Den to enter the continent.

nAnd during daytime, the attributes of the dark creatures would fall rapidly. This was the reason for the Devil’s Den generally being located in valleys shrouded in mist.

nBut the more powerful the creature was, the more difficult it became for the creature to enter the space gate.

nThis was where the dark warlocks who set up the Abyss altar came into play again. They used their dark magic and expanded the space gate to make way for powerful dark creatures.

nThese space gates could be shut down, it was just that it required an extraordinary method used by the Temple of Light.

n

n

nThe method required a Space Archmage or Enchanters from other specializations…

nHowever, the Temple of Light in the City of Dawn was not that advanced. It had not been in the City of Dawn for long, so it did not have the ability to shut down the Devil’s Den. Not unless the Temple of Light sought assistance from their branches in Iron Nation and Black Lava Nation.

nBut William had no intentions of delaying it any longer. But his relationship with Old Band was strange, and Moses would not give William a helping hand. So William was only left with a single choice.

nDetonate the Devil’s Den!

nWilliam was going to form a magic formation with the help of many magical crystals and then detonate it…

nHe was going to destroy the space gate using the powerful explosive energy of the magic formation!

nWilliam was fortunate to have excavated magical crystals beforehand. He brought along with him 18 pieces of magical crystals, even though only 9 pieces were required to form a magic formation. But William preferred to stay on the side of caution.

nThe magic formation was obtained from Old Band. William had to make use of an opportunity to set up the formation.

nOtherwise, the dark warlocks in the Devil’s Den would give him hell.

nAs they entered the misty valley.

nLautner and Eric followed closely behind William.

nAbruptly,

nWilliam vanished, then Lautner also did. Even Eric, who was behind Lautner, disappeared.

nLautner was not the only one who was in such a predicament.

nBoth William and Eric experienced the same phenomenon.

nThe three of them immediately thought of the same thing. “Calm down!”

n“Dark warlock? D*mn, we encountered an Illusionist.” William grinned. He knew exactly who they had encountered.

nMakhu Redd!

nHe was a human with a normal bloodline, but he learned about dark magic and a rare magic, Illusion, through a special opportunity. Ever since then, he strayed to the dark side.

nHe made sacrifices to the underworld in order to upgrade his personal bloodline potential. And it paid off, as he obtained the legendary bloodline…

nHe was the legendary champion in the world of the dark warlocks.

n“This is wrong. Makhu Redd shouldn’t have become a great dark warlock yet. He should only have a middle or high-level bloodline.

n“His level was high, but his potential was not strong. So his attributes should not have increased dramatically. But if he is a great dark warlock, we will be in great trouble!”

nWilliam patted his head. He was not going to die, but they had run into a dangerous and tricky situation.

nAccording to his previous life’s experiences,

nIn the game version 2.0, whenever Makhu Redd made a move, either a city or a nation would be destroyed…

n“D*mn! Why didn’t I think of it earlier? He’s the nemesis of Lancelot. I should have known that they would meet this early?” William thought while grasping his longsword tightly. William did not believe that his legendary character at level 46 would not be able to defeat the middle-level dark warlock.
