Chapter 979 - Inconceivable Sight! (1/2)

The experience from a Level 210 Demonified Lord was enormous for a player in their Level 190s, mostly due to the 600% bonus multiplier from the level difference. Nie Yan shot up from Level 196, 23% to Level 197, 62%.

Nie Yan was certainly an outlier. He was the first at his level to solo a Level 210 Demonified Lord.

It was unlikely anyone would match this feat. After all, who else but Nie Yan would have a Sacred set and be a Legend at Level 196?

Nie Yan scanned his eyes over the Umbra Demon King’s remains and spotted a greyish black fragment on the ground.

Death God’s Bone Fragment (1/12): Special Item

Nie Yan wondered what the Death God’s Bone was used for. He guessed it was similar to the Demon King Stone and Demon King Seal.

Relying on the might of Jotunheim’s Descent, Nie Yan continuously chipped away at the health bars of the two remaining Umbra Demon Kings. The seven dragons supported him from a distance with their magic.

CRASH! The second Umbra Demon King collapsed to the ground.

A crisp notification jingle rang out. Another level up! This kill gave Nie Yan 41% experience.

Sweet!

If Nie Yan were grinding ordinary mobs, it would probably take him almost a week to level up, more if he took his time. Now, however, his level was rocketing upwards.

Apart from Jotunheim’s Descent, Nie Yan was also getting a better grasp of Fawne’s Phantom.

It was truly worthy of being a Legendary skill. After activating it, it was almost as if he were draped in an illusory veil, his silhouette constantly flickering back and forth erratically. He could easily confuse the enemy, preventing them from locking onto his exact position. Even an Umbra Demon King at full power couldn’t touch a single hair on his head, let alone when it was affected by Jotunheim’s Descent!

As Nie Yan continued using Fawne’s Phantom, his use of the skill became more natural. He couldn’t help but wonder how Plenty would ever counter a skill like this. Ordinary magic certainly couldn’t do the trick.

Nie Yan recalled two more Legendary skill books sitting around in the guild treasury. He wondered how powerful they were. Since they were also Legendary skills, they couldn’t be any worse than Fawne’s Shadow. After he was finished here, he would go back and take a look.

Nie Yan grinded away without a worry in the world. One Umbra Demon King after another collapsed to the ground.

Reaching Level 199 would take five more Umbra Demon Kings, Level 200 21, and Level 201 83.

The surroundings of the pyramid tower were littered with the remains of the Umbra Demon Kings.

As time passed, the number of players entering Hell grew exponentially. There were teams setting out in droves, including the elites from Asskickers United. However, no one had reached Nie Yan’s spot yet.

After spending spending the whole day in Hell, Nie Yan looked back at what was left of the mountain in the far distance. There were still at least 160 Umbra Demon Kings left.

Nie Yan glanced inside his bag. He’d collected three Death God’s Bone Fragments so far. Likely he would have to clear out all the Umbra Demon Kings to gather all 12! As for his level, he was knocking on the door of Level 200.

While Nie Yan was working on downing another Umbra Demon King, three silhouettes flitted across the barren some 5,000 meters away. They were incredibly fast. By the time the monsters in the vicinity noticed them, they were already far away.

These three were experienced Shadow Dancers, having reached an incomprehensible speed for ordinary players. They were fast enough that if they didn’t wish to fight these Level 180 mobs, they could simply run past them.

Even though the spawn rate in Hell was still extremely high, it had slowed down significantly compared to when Nie Yan first arrived. The mob density was slowly getting lower.

“Damn! There are so many monsters here! When the team gets here, the levelling speed will be amazing!” a Thief in silver gray leather armour said.

“Looks like we’ll be busy here for the next few days. If we grind here for a month, we should reach Level 200!” another Thief exclaimed. He glanced at his experience bar. He was about 63% away from levelling up. Since there were so many monsters here, they wouldn’t be running out of targets anytime soon.

Their team comprised 20 people, all of whom were Masters. They had an average level of 200. The three of them were here to scout out a good place to grind mobs.

As the three Thieves were looking around with glee, a mournful cry cut across the air. It sounded like a boss monster dying.

The three glanced at each other.

“What was that?”
