Chapter 988 - Heads Rolling with Every Step (1/2)
Nie Yan summoned his dragons. The void creatures were also invading the underworld. So, he could do some levelling along the way.
Since the start of the void invasion, Nie Yan’s level skyrocketed. He caught up to Tang Yao at Level 210. Of the Level 220+ Demonified Lords that spawned in the Righteous Faction, he had single-handedly taken down more than half of them.
Nie Yan no longer hid himself behind a cloak. His azure armour flickered with a dazzling radiance within the darkness. A pair of black wings slowly fluttered on his back. These were Demon Wings he crafted from the Demon Feather. In the past few weeks, Guo Huai had helped him collect the other materials he needed for crafting them They didn’t give any stat bonuses, only the ability to fly.
Even so, these wings were still useful to Nie Yan. He now had decent aerial mobility.
Apart from his unrivalled equipment, Nie Yan also had an old man wielding the Amos Void God Staff following behind him at a steady pace. A white nebula of holy energy circulated around him.
This old man was Karsi. As a Legendary NPC, he had seen countless battles and racked up astonishing achievements on the battlefield. He was an existence countless players revered.
Karsi would only take action if Nie Yan gave him the order.
A Level 230 Demonified Lord-class Void Succubus appeared up ahead. When it discovered Nie Yan, it immediately let out a shrill cry and pounced toward him.
Nie Yan’s figure blurred, activating Fawne’s Phantom, and reappeared in front of the Void Succubus. He twisted his body to the side and executed a Reverse Grip Backstab. His blade plunged into her side, proccing ice rupture and instantly covering her body in a thick layer of frost.
The Void Succubus lashed out in a violent frenzy. But no matter what she did, she failed to land a single hit on Nie Yan.
BANG! BANG! BANG! A shower of Forbidden Magic rained down on the Void Succubus. A string of 20,000,000s floated up above her head.
Not far from where Nie Yan was battling the Void Succubus, several Thieves were flitting across the darkness.
Sensing something, Nie Yan looked in the distance and spotted several silhouettes. He smirked. It appeared Fallen Angel would find out about his arrival pretty soon.
He was going to openly slaughter a path to the capital of the Undead Empire, Necropolis!
From here to Necropolis. Meet god, slay god! Meet buddha, slay buddha! Nie Yan wanted to see who in the Evil Faction could block his path!
Beneath his feet was the territory of the Evil Faction. Fallen Angel probably didn’t expect him to announce himself in such an arrogant manner.
Under Nie Yan’s fierce assault, the Void Succubus let out a mournful cry and disintegrated into nothing.
...
Necropolis, Fallen Angel’s guild headquarters.
Over 200 higher-ups from Fallen Angel were holding an emergency meeting in the conference hall. They’d just received word that Nirvana Flame was spotted in the underworld. The entire guild was in an uproar. Even though Plenty was an invincible existence in their hearts, the person coming for them was the Mad Rogue! In the short span of five months, he’d gone from being pitifully weak at Level 156 to only being one level behind Plenty at Level 210! What insane levelling speed! It was practically heaven-defying! Seeds of doubt sprouted in their hearts. Could Plenty really defeat Nirvana Flame?
The showdown between Nie Yan and Plenty was unavoidable. If Plenty lost, Fallen Angel would suffer an enormous blow. Previously, Asskickers United’s peak experts had already shown their superoirty. If it weren’t for Plenty single-handedly making a comeback, they would’ve lost all face. However, as if in response Nie Yan had risen back to the top. It appeared he wasn’t content to let them have even that victory.
“That son of a bitch! Who does he think he is? Does he think we are so easy to bully? Boss, we should send our people to intercept him!” a Dark Zealot exclaimed in righteous indignation.
Sending people to intercept him? That would be the same as Fallen Angel declaring that Plenty was too afraid to fight Nie Yan! Warlance glanced at Plenty, whose eyes were closed.
Plenty wore a cloak that hid his equipment. He remained silent, causing the others players to glance at each other confidently.
Eventually, Plenty opened his eyes and replied in an indifferent tone, “He’ll come sooner or later. No need to get anxious.” There was no avoiding the inevitable. As for how sure he was of victory, he couldn’t say.
Godking joined in and asked, “Boss, should we at least send some people to probe his strength?”
Plenty pondered for a moment. Nie Yan was without a doubt the strongest enemy he’d encountered to date. He had no idea how much stronger Nie Yan had grown in this short amount of time. This didn’t bode well for his chances of victory. However, sending people to intercept Nie Yan was a show of weakness.
Seeing Plenty frozen with indecision, God King and Warlance glanced at each other. They began making arrangements themselves.
Since Plenty wasn’t willing to tarnish his reputation. It could only be left to the two of them.
“Help me prepare the summoning formation. If I can’t defeat Nirvana Flame, we can only rely on that move,” Plenty said.
These words caused Godking and Warlance’s eyes lit up. With that move, they might actually stand a chance!
“Yes! We’ll prepare right away!”
...
Word of Nie Yan’s arrival in the underworld quickly spread. Not just within Fallen Angel, but throughout both great factions. The players couldn’t help but get excited to see what Nie Yan would pull off this time.
