Chapter 300: We All Must Leave!
Using Recall, the Black Crystal Stone was transported to the ground, and its health had already been frightened down to less than 50,000 by the rat-headed person.
If it were to be summoned again, it would take 2 minutes; for now, preserving one is better than none.
The target has run away, but there’s a good chance it will return.
Thinking of this, Zane activated the next skill, Summon: Dark Doll!
After 5 seconds, a valiant battle maiden appeared from the summoning array.
Information about the enemy had already been seen during the brief encounter earlier.
Attached Spirit: Jelinsha (Leader Level Boss)
Rarity: Diamond Grade
Level: ???
Health: ???
Physical Attack Power: ???
Magical Attack Power: ???
Physical Defense: ???
Magical Defense: ???
Skills: ???
Description: A spirit girl with possession capabilities, appearing in the Imperial City for unknown reasons.
The information is very sparse, only known that she is a Diamond Grade monster.
Earlier when she ran, her health was still around 88%.
This means the total health of this attached spirit is around 1.3 million.
What’s strange is that Jelinsha is not a lord but can sense Hedy’s identity.
Contamination and shadows represent the Lord of Contamination and the Name of Void Black, respectively.
That archer has already vanished without a trace.
Furthermore, the commotion caused by activating the dark sealing was too loud; most houses locked their doors tight, and even the oil lamps were extinguished.
If this continues, it won’t be long before the army of the Imperial City and Gelins arrive on the scene.
Of course, Kurei and the others will be the same.
“Should we chase?” Zane turned and asked; if Aijue disagreed, her thoughts would be pointless.
“…Chase! If we take her down tonight, there may not be another opportunity! We don’t have time to waste with her; Yunshui City needs me, and Prince Meida shouldn’t be wanted.” Aijue thought for a moment and said.
“Alright, then let’s go!”
As they left, Zane took a glance at the sunken ground, where the corrupted rats had long disappeared.
Speaking of which, these rat-headed people were much stronger than the ones encountered at the beginning.
If one had to say, it felt like they had crossed a tier.
Their eyes had turned a deep blood red, unlike the previous group of corrupted rats which were timid and fearful of injury; they would only attack frantically.
Just like the blue medicines.
Why can the demoness command the corrupted rats? Or is this just an accident?
There’s still too little information known.
According to Aijue, every time the demoness harms someone, the victim usually appears in some alley or dead end, or sometimes, only a pool of blood.
“Ah!!!!”
In the night, a sudden scream echoed in all directions.
“Quick, go over there!”
“Understood, Nitiya, follow me!”
“Yes, Master!”
………
Following the source of the sound, Aijue in the front, Zane in the middle, and Nitiya at the back formed a straight line, slowly approaching.
This attached spirit can possess others, so they needed to avoid getting separated.
After passing a few small turns, Aijue was the first to stop.
Zane peeked in and saw only a shattered bottle and a mix of sap water and blood on the ground.
Moreover, Jelinsha, the attached spirit, had regained her calm demeanor, and her health was back to full.
“Hehe, you really have the guts to chase after me…” she sneered coldly, as if everything was in her grasp.
“What now, still thinking of getting another beating?” Zane raised an eyebrow.
“You! Little girl, don’t get too crazy! Qi Qiao, take action!”
Qi Qiao!?
The moment the words fell, strange sounds echoed from all directions.
“Master, someone is coming!” Nitiya immediately warned.
Looking back, there were several people emerging from the house, beside the staircase, in the corners, and even in the tunnels—about a dozen!
Both men and women were among them, holding various weapons.
Upon closer inspection, aside from auxiliary classes, every combat class had 1-2 members.
Casually checking the information of a swordsman.
Sah La:
Rarity: Platinum Grade
Level: 50
Health: 250,000
Physical Attack Power: 2557-3004
Physical Defense: 500
Magical Defense: 450
Skills: Charge, Block, Combo, Flash Back
Description: A common swordsman of the Imperial City, greatly improving after drinking a strength-enhancing potion.
“…A 50-level platinum swordsman? What a joke!
Zane, feeling defiant, looked at the other members’ information; they were all 50-level platinum, none higher or lower.
However… something felt off.
Their panels and skill counts didn’t meet the expected standards for that level.
The skill set also consisted of basic class skills, with the only shared skill being Flash Back.
“You all… can’t escape!” The attached spirit said, and the moment she finished speaking, the ground beneath her was pierced, and countless corrupted rats surged out.
And Jelinsha flew to the back.
Glancing at the information of the corrupted rats, this group of monsters had transformed from level 48 golden creatures into 50-level platinum monsters.
And also 50-level platinum!?
Aijue took a deep breath, staring at the rats that resembled a waxen hive, saying solemnly, “Hedy, next I will try to kill this strange demoness; you take your people and leave first… I know you have that ability; Nitiya can’t do without you.”
“What are you saying!? If we’re leaving, we should all leave together, don’t be foolish!” Zane was stunned; if Aijue died here, not only would Alna not allow it, but she herself wouldn’t either.
“…This isn’t foolishness; the strength of these monsters has far exceeded the normal range; someone must hold them back.”
“…”
Aijue wasn’t wrong; the rat-headed people had skills for rapid movement, and even with Blink, they would easily be pursued.
Not to mention their outer circle was surrounded by puppets.
The gap between platinum and gold was not trivial, and the main difference was whether they could one-shot or not.
That previous archer could take down more than 20,000 health with a single Meteor Arrow, and others likely wouldn’t fall far behind.
“Hehehe… I will make you all drink the potion… if it’s you, you will definitely be able to break through that limit… achieving greater strength.” Jelinsha propped her cheeks with her hands, a look of longing on her face.
Upon hearing this, Zane began to understand.
The terror of the potion is the Rainbow Water.
And this potion can mass-produce platinum-level puppets, even monsters could use it.
The limit probably referred to level 50 platinum, as no higher standards have appeared yet.
Now it’s understandable why the Qianyan Commander Gal turned out to be so foolish.
Perhaps anyone with a bit of strength could reach platinum.
The Imperial City has been completely controlled by this demoness, using this group of powerful monsters and puppets!
What should we do!? What should we do!?
Player deaths aren’t a big deal, but Kurei, Alna, and Aijue must not be harmed; they are the foundation and soul of Yunshui City!
Even with Starry, it would be impossible to simultaneously cope with a large-scale siege.
This is a hellish challenge where one touch could mean death.
“What are you still thinking about!? If we don’t leave now, it’ll be too late!” Aijue was truly angry, shouting at Zane.
“…You are Alna’s only brother; you cannot die.”
“What nonsense are you saying? Do you think I can just leave!? ”
“We can leave; we all must leave, and we will leave after resolving them!” Zane looked at him squarely and nodded.
After saying this, under Aijue’s fearful gaze, purple bubbles appeared on the ground, and strands of contamination began to form from within.
Contaminated bloodlines, activate!
Emerge!
