nAndu Dana had died after being stabbed.

nBut his soul could not rest in peace either. It was purified by the Pastors and turned into dust due to exposure to holy light. It did not even get the chance to revive.

nOnce again, William earned thousands of experience points. A pity though, as many people had participated in this fight. Even the Troll had earned some experience. William did not gain as many Rewards as he had received when he had killed the devil by himself.

nBut the battle at Devil’s Den had finally come to an end.

nThe remaining 2000 undead and darkness soldiers did not even have the chance to walk out of the Devil’s Den. Will sent all of them flying towards a corner.

n

n

n“Makhu Redd is very smart. He sensed that he was no match for us, so he summoned this fellow to divert our attention and ran away.” William was full of hatred. He had missed the chance of killing Makhu Redd.

nHe was a far more threatening enemy than Andu Dana.

nDevils who had the advantage of bloodline, like Andu Dana, were even worse than low-level devils in terms of thought.

nThey were the children of the Lord devil. Each of them had a large manor, and thousands of devils, skeletons, and darkness soldiers under them.

nLow-level devils had to fight if they wanted to bootlick, but Andu Dana did not have to do so.

nTheir territory in the Dark World was very vast. He did not need to fight for authority with his brothers. All he had to do was quietly wait in his own territory, and there would be plenty of delicacies for him to enjoy.

nBesides that, they would often obtain sacrifices from mages, warlocks, and sorcerers.

nAfter all, Andu Mali and the rest were far too strong.

nBut ordinary sacrifices did not move him. Thus, he distributed most of the sacrifices offered to him to his children.

nBut Makhu Redd was different. This dark warlock was cunning, insidious, and emotionless. He could use anyone and would employ any means to achieve his objectives.

n

n

nThis time, in particular, he had prepared many methods, one of them being Altaic’s army of Orcs. If they managed to ambush the Dawn Army, many of their soldiers would become victims for the sacrificial ceremony instead.

nWilliam and his army left the misty valley, and suddenly a blinding ray of white light shot out of the mountains.

nCrash!

nHalf of the misty valley had also been sent flying!

nSoil, trees, and even heavy boulders that weighed tonnes flew into the air. Then, the ground trembled. People could not help but be afraid.

nThe Dawn Army knew in advance that William wanted to destroy the Dawn Army, but most of them did not know what William had used to do so. They did not even know what could cause such a massive explosion.

nThe Temple Messenger could not help but think of something.

nBut when he exchanged glances with William, he hastily tapped his arm, signifying that he did not know anything. He and the other subordinates acted blind and deaf. They had come to the Devil’s Den to fight some special enemies in the Dark World.

nThe Temple Messenger decided not to report this. No matter whether the City of Dawn had wood or magical crystals, it ultimately did not have much to do with him…

nThe Temple of Light did not dare to steal them either.

n

n

nEven if he obtained informed information on where to obtain magical crystals, he no more than a mere messenger. What benefits would there be in the store for him?

nA consolation prize?

nThe Temple Messenger in a city was more like a city official. He controlled the Temple Messengers and Pastors in the city. He also spread the belief in the Temple of Light.

nBut he also had to maintain good relations with the city lord. If not, he would be done for.

nBut this Temple Messenger was very aware. He knew that William was a very powerful lord, and if he wanted to live a good life in this city, he had to put up with William. If he didn’t do so, he would die early even if he did everything for the Temple of Light…

nHidden Mission: Crisis in territory with the discovery of a Devil’s Den

nMission Details: Completed

nMission Completion: 86%

nReward: 111800

nReward: Misty Mountain Instance Dungeon Crystal

n

n

nWilliam looked at the white crystal in his hand. His eyes were full of happiness. “Instance Dungeon crystal? Fantastic. Now, I can bring the crystal to the City of Dawn. The players would not need to run around. They can simply enter Instance Dungeons here. But the most beneficial thing is that I finally have a source of experience.”

nDuring the internal testing.

nWilliam had discovered a problem…

nWhen players accepted his missions, they could earn experience, but he could not…

nBack then, he was not worried.

nHe knew that in the world of Gods, there were Instance Dungeon crystals…

nAt first, there were no Instance Dungeons in the Gods’ continent.

nAt least, there was no record of their existence before the internal testing.

nBut after the game Beta.

nIn some old battlefields, Devil’s Dens, and even war campaigns that had just occurred, Instance Dungeon crystals could be found on-site. The things that the NPCs had experienced were fully integrated into the Instance Dungeon.

n

n

nAfter players found the Instance Dungeon crystal, they had to turn over some money, tools, and even experience. Only then could they enter the Instance Dungeon and fight monsters.

nIn general, there were two kinds of Instance Dungeon crystals, those which could be moved and those which could not.

nThe Instance Dungeon crystals that could not be moved were huge. They could easily be found in places where wars had taken place.

nOn the other hand, the Instance Dungeon crystal that William had obtained was one that could be moved. He was the main NPC in this Instance Dungeon. The Instance Dungeon crystal was a Reward for him to keep this memory.

nAs for the Instance Dungeon crystals that could not be moved, it was because there were too many main NPCs. It was impossible to distribute the crystal to everyone.

nIn conclusion, it was like a Reward from the heavens…

nWilliam suddenly felt as if he had obtained an Instance Dungeon crystal that only belonged to him.

nNot only was it an essential source of experience, but it was also good news for the players.

nAfter all, they could enter Instance Dungeons without running around.

nWhat a steal!

nDid other NPCs have this ability?

nYes, but very few NPCs initiated military-scale one-on-one fights. Thus, they were often unable to obtain Instance Dungeon crystals.

nAfter all, after Instance Dungeon crystals were given to NPCs, it was more of a Reward for them to recall memories of the battle…

nWere other Instance Dungeons so cheap?

nDefinitely not.

nIf one wanted to develop a wild Instance Dungeon crystal, the cost would usually be very high.

nOn the other hand, Instance Dungeon crystals were highly profitable once their benefit towards players was discovered.

nHowever, for entering the misty valley Instance Dungeon, William only planned to collect experience. He planned not to demand gold coins or tools.

nAhem. Of course, it may also have to depend on the situation. What if he did not have enough money?

nAfter all, when he had become a legend in his previous life, he had requested phoenix feathers for top Instance Dungeons. They were no ordinary Instance Dungeon. He could not help people to level up either.

nThe current Instance Dungeons that he had just earned could be categorized into four kinds.

nFor example, in the ordinary dungeons, players would not be ambushed by Orc armies. They would not face any dark warlock bosses either, let alone devil bosses.

nTheir mission would be to kill the few dark creatures in the Devil’s Den.

nAs for the advanced dungeons, they would encounter some small bosses if they were lucky.

nFollowing the advanced level was the epic level.

nAfter that was the legendary level.

nIf the players encountered a legendary level Instance Dungeon, it would be the same situation which William had just faced. If the players were not middle leveled and did not have an army of thousands, it would just be a march to their deaths. How many attempts would it take for future players to complete the legendary Instance Dungeon?

nAfter all, the final boss was a level 69 epic devil. Even though he could not stand many attacks, it was because of the many bosses from the City of Dawn that he had faced…

nWhen the game Beta would start, the Holy Light Silence Technique scroll, as well as tools and potions to resist darkness attributes would sell well.

nOf course, the occupations of the Temple Knights and Pastors would also become very popular.

n“Most importantly, as an NPC, I will definitely appear in the Instance Dungeon. The players will also be able to admire my courage close-up.” William rubbed his chin. His injuries had fully healed, and gone was his frightening appearance.

nThe other subordinates did not know what was happening. They did not dare to speak either.

nOnly Lautner thought that William had secretly drunk the Life Potion, but he did not leave any for him…

n“It’s a pity. Even though in the past, I have eliminated so many Orc tribes, I did not obtain any Instance Dungeon crystals…” William also understood that those battles were of very low levels.

nBut this also proved one fact. It was very difficult to obtain Instance Dungeon crystals.

nIt was just that there were many benefits to be earned if one obtained an Instance Dungeon crystal.

nFor example, in the Instance Dungeon crystal from the misty valley, many darkness materials, as well as weapons and equipment could be found.

nThe nameless devil that William had killed by himself dropped a gold quality cursed weapon. The weapon, along with the body of the devil, could be turned into materials. Their thick skin could be used to produce inner armor.

nBut William was very wealthy. He did not care about this.

nHe did not even care about Andu Dana, let alone his belongings.

nThat reminded him. Just what did Andu Dana drop?

nWilliam could not help but look at the pitch-black ring in his hand. “I never expected the first space treasure I obtained would come from a devil, a devil like him at that. Come to think of it, he did not even get a chance to use his space treasure. How tragic…”
