Chapter 750 - Legendary Ches (1/2)

The Demon Slaughterer ferociously attacked everything in sight like an enraged beast. The Thieves were gradually being overwhelmed.

「Boss, hurry!」

「We can’t hold on much longer!」

Nie Yan picked up his pace and arrived at the altar. Under the bombarding of the 1,000 Magic Bombs, it was partially destroyed, but the main structure still remained intact.

At the center of the altar was a round monument that towered several meters over the rest of the square. Engraved on the front face was a life-like relief of a demon. It had a sinister face, sharp fangs, and an icy cold expression. This was the totemic of the dark elf tribe.

Nie Yan searched around the monument and found a large keyhole in the back. Looking in his bag, he retrieved the treasure key and slowly inserted it into the keyhole. It was a perfect fit!

RRRUMBLE! RRUMBLE! RUUMBLE!

The entire altar shook violently. A large slab of rock slowly shifted away and revealed a treasure chest.

Nie Yan had no idea which era this chest originated from. Judging from the heavy wear, it was from ancient times.

The moment the chest emerged, an overwhelming aura washed over Nie Yan.

This was an incredibly pure power, making one want to kneel down for it.

The items inside this chest definitely weren’t ordinary.

“Nice, no lock!” Nie Yan walked up and started opening the chest.

At this moment, the Demon Slaughterer seemed to sense something and turned to face the altar. Seeing someone opening the chest, it let out an enraged roar. The greatsword in its hand erupted with raging flames, seemingly aware of its wielder’s fury.

With a powerful beat of its wings, it took to the air and shot toward Nie Yan.

「Boss, be careful!」

「Boss, it’s coming back towards you!」

...

The expedition team members anxiously shouted out warnings in the voice chat.

The chest popped open. Nie Yan was about to check out its contents, when he heard the frantic cries in the voice chat. Turning his head, he spotted the Demon Slaughterer rapidly closing in on him.

Crap, no time to lose!

Nie Yan didn’t linger for a second. He reached his hand into the chest and grabbed onto something which transmitted an icy cold feeling into his palm. He had no idea what it was, only that it was made out of some mysterious metal. The chilly aura emanating from it made him shiver.

This object was quite heavy. After taking it out, Nie Yan had no time to grab anything else.

Nie Yan tossed the item into his bag. There were definitely more items in the chest. He wanted to stick his hand back in and grab them too, but there was no time.

The Demon Slaughterer had already raised its greatsword right above his head. Nie Yan had to get out, now!

Just as he was about to be swallowed up by the flaming sword, Nie Yan gave up on trying to retrieve the other items inside the chest. With a Shadow Waltz, he scrambled out of there.

This was a Rank 18 Shadow Waltz. Nie Yan’s body transformed into a blur as he sped away.

BOOM! The sword slash swept over his body, but he was completely unscathed.

Miss!

The Demon Slaughterer immediately went into pursuit. Its entire body was enveloped in blazing flames. It was thoroughly enraged by the theft of whatever item Nie Yan took out from the chest. At this moment, its aggro was solely focused on him.

While Nie Yan was still in a state of invincibility, he pulled out an Unknown Transfer Scroll and crushed it.

Like this, even the Demon Slaughterer couldn’t stop Nie Yan.

With a flash of light, Nie Yan disappeared.

“Wretched mortal! How dare you steal Paternoster’s Warhammer. You will pay with your soul!” the Demon Slaughterer spat out. It beat its wings, then took off for the south.

「Everyone, temporarily withdraw!」Nie Yan shouted. He had no clue where he was right now. The Unknown Transfer Scroll had teleported him to the middle of a green plain.

「Boss, the Demon Slaughterer flew away! It’s probably still chasing after you. Run!」Hapless Frog shouted.

The Demon Slaughterer is still after me? Nie Yan’s heart trembled. It seemed like he would need to start fleeing for his life. He suddenly recalled something and said,「There are still some items in that chest. After you’ve taken them out, revive the fallen, and wait for me in Orc King City.」
