Chapter 946 - Holy Nova Ray (1/2)

The Dark Demonkin gave ample experience, and there was a ludicrous number of them packed together on this bridge. With Lil’ Gold and the Shadow Demon Wolf wantonly killing them, one could imagine how frightening the levelling speed was.

The Divine Eclipse Dragon and Violet Eye Dragon were gradually starting to contribute to the battle. If they got just a little stronger, Nie Yan’s levelling speed would reach a completely new plane.

There were simply too many Level 180 Dark Demonkin. Lil’ Gold and the Shadow Demon Wolf were starting to have a hard time advancing forward. However, if Nie Yan were to kill them himself, their speed would drastically slow down. At that point, he might as well go somewhere else to find harder individual targets.

After two days of continuous grinding, a flash of light fell over Nie Yan, and he was teleported outside the entrance to the Dark Demonic Space.

Here, the players from both great factions were fighting fiercely with sparks flying everywhere. Nie Yan didn’t bother participating. He avoided the commotion with Gale Step and reentered the Dark Demonic Space.

The dungeon was reset. Nie Yan would have to start from the beginning. However, that wasn’t a problem. In fact, it was precisely what he wanted.

The days passed by one after another. The faces Nie Yan saw outside the entrance kept changing, but he never left. After grinding in the Dark Demonic Space for two entire weeks, he reached Level 160. The Divine Eclipse Dragon was starting to catch up. It had reached Level 130 and could already rival a Level 200 Lil’ Gold. It was finally ready to display its might!

Nie Yan entered the Dark Demonic Space once more. He handed over all the Dark Demonic Fragments he’d collected so far to Gower and received 3% worth of experience.

“Sir Nirvana Flame, you have turned in 16,253 Dark Demonic Fragments. Your current rank among all contestants is 226. You have yet to clear the Dark Demonic Space,” Gower said.

Nie Yan raised an eyebrow in suspicion. Could this mean there was an additional reward for reaching number one? Since the Dark Demonic Fragments couldn’t be traded, every fragment he turned in was obtained by himself. After grinding for two weeks straight, he only reached rank 226 on the leaderboards. He couldn’t help but wonder how many more fragments he would need to reach rank one.

Nie Yan continued grinding without pause. The Divine Eclipse Dragon had recently learned a new skilled called Holy Nova Ray. He was eager to test it out.

At Nie Yan’s command, his several pets charged forward. The Divine Eclipse Dragon was still too weak. So, it could only stay in the rear and cast magic.

The Divine Eclipse Dragon started chanting an incantation. Countless specks of light were drawn toward its body.

The air was saturated with holy energy.

Kalenna waved her staff, buffing the Divine Eclipse Dragon with several holy blessings.

The Divine Eclipse Dragon was emitting a dazzling radiance of holy power, as if it were a divine being. FWOOOOOM! It opened its mouth and shot out a giant beam of light. It was 15 meters wide and continued on for more than 600 meters. It pierced through all the Dark Demonkin in its path.

Miserable shrieks rang out from within the light. A string of 500,000s at 10 hits per tick floated up above their heads. Three seconds, five seconds, seven seconds... the beam continued to fire.

Swaths of Dark Demonkin collapsed within the light, transforming into ash.

The beam finally stopped after 10 whole seconds. Nie Yan looked up ahead, his jaw dropping in shock. The next 600 meters of the bridge was completely swept clean of monsters, only Dark Demonic Fragments hinting at their previous existence.

At least 10,000 Level 180 Elite-class Dark Demonkin were wiped out in that attack! This Holy Nova Ray was practically the ultimate skill for levelling up in the Dark Demonic Space! It was more useful than any Forbidden Magic, which had a long cast time; and even though they had large area of effects, only a small portion of it would hit the Dark Demonkin. Not to mention their usual cooldowns of one to two months. Meanwhile the Holy Nova Ray was frightening beyond belief and only had a cooldown time of 30 minutes!

Nie Yan’s experience bar instantly filled up by 0.2%. After reaching Level 160, the amount of experience he required to level up was 580 times that of when he was Level 156. So, it was clear how astonishing this levelling speed was.

If Holy Nova Ray could be used once every half-an-hour, then by the end of the day, he could gain 6% experience from this skill alone! Adding in the contribution from his other pets, that was an additional 5% for a total of 11%. By these calculations, he would reach Level 161 within only 10 days! This was nothing short of incredible!

Nie Yan entered the second stage of the Dark Demonic Space. Where on the first stage he had to fight Level 160-180 Elites, now his opponents were Level 160-180 Variant Elites. Their health increased by six times. The difficulty instantly ramped up. However, the drop rate of Dark Demonic Fragments also increased. After tuning them in to Gower, he could gain quite a bit of additional experience.

The cycle continued. Nie Yan would grind for two days, get booted out of the dungeon, and start all over again.

As calculated, a crisp notification jingle rang out 10 days later. Nie Yan reached Level 161.

Grinding day-in-day-out for 16 hours a day for almost a month straight, any other player would be driven mad from the sheer monotony. In this regard, Nie Yan’s discipline and perseverance were to be commended.
