Chapter 857 Warlord

Chapter 1 Time Flies

About two months passed. In the wasteland of the dark world, a group of twenty-one people were slowly advancing.

Nie Yan looked ahead. The volcano was already close at hand. The time spent on this journey was much longer than they had imagined. Everyone's levels also increased extremely slowly. Nie Yan reached level 145, while Tang Yao, Xie Yao and others leveled up slightly faster, reaching only level 146.

However, during this period, Nie Yan received a lot of good news. Black Heaven, Fallen Frog, Wu Dao, Hei Bai, Wu Feng, Happy Hermit, and Love Jiangnan seven people successively advanced to top-tier classes. So far, Nirvana Flame had twenty-eight top-tier class players, including the three great divine priests, all in Nirvana Flame. Angel Corps and other major guilds, as well as some casual players, had also successfully advanced to top-tier classes, with a total of only nine people, including three from Angel Corps.

In terms of the number of top-tier class players, Nirvana Flame had always held a great advantage. With twenty-eight top-tier class players gathered together, plus Nie Yan's golden dragon and Paladin Leves, they should not suffer against the Bloodfiend Knights. In 1v1 situations, the top-tier classes of the Green Land Empire were far stronger than the Silverwings of the Demonkin tribe. As for team coordination, that was another matter entirely. After all, the Bloodfiend Knights had a long-standing reputation for coordination, and in the previous life, countless teams from the Green Land Empire and the Saturn Empire suffered at their hands.

With so many top-tier classes, Nie Yan calmed down a bit. It would be difficult for the Bloodfiend Knights to run rampant on their territory.

Nie Yan received news that the Bloodfiend Knights were causing headaches for the major guilds of the Saturn Empire. They sent hundreds of thousands of people to search for the Bloodfiend Knights' whereabouts, but to no avail. Instead, they were killed by tens of thousands of people, suffering heavy losses. The players of the Saturn Empire were panic-stricken, almost to the point of being terrified. The thieves sent out by Nirvana Flame lost track of them several times.

Nie Yan and others were about to reach the foot of the volcano when they received a message.

System: You have discovered Mephisto Volcano.

Seeing this message, Nie Yan raised his eyebrows. This volcano was actually named after the NPC Mephisto.

They should be approaching their destination.

After receiving this message, the Paternostar Warhammer in his backpack became even more violent, emitting bursts of raging lightning and ice power. He seemed to feel that a soul was stirring and awakening within the Paternostar Warhammer.

‘System: You feel a powerful dark force, the great spirit, it is gradually awakening, you hear its call, this is the soul and will of the shattered war god, it roars in anger, brave one, kill him, the hateful Di拉克鲁, the shameless scoundrel!’

Scenes flashed through Nie Yan's mind, a complete story fragment. Di拉克鲁 was an orc, once the commander of the orc legion of the Saturn Empire. During the war with the Demonkin tribe, his mistakes led to the collapse of the legion. In order to shirk responsibility, he killed several innocent generals. From then on, demons bred in his heart. He tried to seize the throne of the Saturn Empire. After being discovered by the orc king, he seriously injured the orc king and fled, embarking on a path of escape. The orc king died of his injuries, and the Saturn Empire fell into three decades of internal strife. Di拉克鲁 became the public enemy of the Saturn Empire. During his escape, he finally allowed the demons to control his mind and became a demonized lord.

A crisp system notification sounded, and Nie Yan glanced at the system prompt.

Quest Progress: Assassinate the traitor Di拉克鲁. Before that, talk to Mephisto.

It was an assassination quest. He didn't know the specifics, but since the volcano in front of him was named after Mephisto, he should be nearby.

"Boss, how's your quest going?"

"I just received a system prompt to find someone named Mephisto."

"Let Sun, Wangzhe Tianxia, Ying Sha, Xiaorong, and Yi Chui Dingqing look for him separately, it'll be faster that way," Watery Rose said. It would take them a lot of time to search the entire area around the volcano as a group. It was better to split up. It wasn't suitable for mages and warriors to search, only thieves could go.

"Nie Yan has to stay. It won't be good if we don't have a thief here," Brilliant Cutlass said.

Nie Yan thought for a moment and looked at Sun, Xiaorong and others, "Then I'll have to trouble you guys."

"Don't mention it," Xiaorong Bu Shi Wei Wo Xiaoxiao said.

The five of them split up, entered stealth mode, and searched in different directions, each responsible for an area, spreading out completely. Nie Yan and the others continued to advance.

"Boss, what kind of quest did you take?" Undying Scoundrel and others asked. The journey had been fraught with danger, and they had almost been wiped out several times. One could imagine how difficult the quest was, so they became curious about it.

"It's a quest to obtain the Assassin's Heart, assassinating a demonized lord. It's very difficult. If it really doesn't work, I'll have to die and go back. It's just a pity about the few items I have on me, which I finally managed to get. I'll have to drop them. I don't know if I can come back next time, or if I can find an exit," Nie Yan said. If he died, the loss would be heavy.

"What items? Are they guaranteed to drop upon death?" Summer Bug asked, stunned. He had also seen a few items that were guaranteed to drop upon death, and they generally had good stats.

Nie Yan thought for a moment. There were no outsiders here, so he said, "It's a hammer." He shared the Paternostar Warhammer's stats.

Deathly silence.

After a moment, Undying Scoundrel said in shock, "Damn, a divine artifact, there's actually something like this in Conviction, the stats are insane!"

"It can't be used, unfortunately."

"But some of the stats are useful. Nie Yan, Boss Nie Yan used this ice seal skill to deal with that demonized lord in Klemency Fortress last time, right?"

"Yes." Nie Yan nodded.

The crowd chattered, all shocked by the Paternostar Warhammer's stats. This was a true divine artifact. Ordinary equipment was trash in front of it. Although it couldn't be used, just having such an item to look at was very satisfying.

"What is Divine Power?"

"I think these divine artifacts should be quest items, and players may never be able to use them, otherwise there wouldn't be a Divine Power requirement. No one has ever heard of Divine Power. And the Strength and Agility requirements are too high, even if you level up to 200, you may not be able to reach them. I estimate that even if you wear a complete set of legendary equipment, you won't be able to meet the requirements," Lei Su said.

"Maybe," Nie Yan nodded. What Lei Su said made a lot of sense.

"Even if it's just a quest item, the quest related to this item is definitely not simple!" Watery Rose said. Just like that, the Paternostar Warhammer was already worth a lot.

"I also have a Reaper's Scythe here, the stats are about the same, and it can't be used either. It's related to the Archangel Tyrael, and it's also a quest item," Nie Yan said, sharing the Reaper's Scythe's stats.

The crowd looked at each other in dismay. One Paternostar Warhammer was already enough, but Nie Yan had actually found a second one.

"No matter what, we can't let Boss die," Undying Scoundrel said. If Nie Yan died, both of these items would be gone.

"We'll see when the time comes," Nie Yan said. If he really couldn't leave the dark world, he would have no choice but to die and go back.

As they were talking, a large group of demon hyenas slowly surrounded them from the front.

"Brothers, it's time to work," Brilliant Cutlass said, raising his shield and walking forward.

The others dared not neglect, chose their respective positions, and prepared to face a hard battle.

Tang Yao and the others were already constructing fire walls. Nie Yan had the golden dragon guard one side, preparing to face the impact of the demon hyenas.

Just as Nie Yan and the others were starting to clear the demon hyenas, Nie Yan received a message from Guo Huai.

Nie Yan kicked a demon hyena away with one foot, then stepped forward and delivered an elbow strike, knocking another demon hyena away again, and connected to the voice call.

"What's the matter?" Nie Yan asked, retreating to the back.

The surrounding team members nervously grinded monsters in a chaotic scene.

"Our people have lost track of the Bloodfiend Knights again, but this time it's different from before. This time the target was lost near the Crassus Canyon, which is exactly the border between the Green Land Empire and the Saturn Empire. Recently, the Saturn Empire has been chasing and blocking the Bloodfiend Knights very hard. I estimate that the Bloodfiend Knights are coming to our Green Land Empire."

Hearing this news, Nie Yan's heart trembled. Two months had passed, and the Bloodfiend Knights hadn't come to the Green Land Empire. He had been praying that they could delay it for a few more days, but what was coming would eventually come.

If the Bloodfiend Knights entered the Green Land Empire, Nirvana Flame would definitely not be able to stay out of it. With Nie Yan and the others not around, Nirvana Flame really lacked experts who could deal with the Bloodfiend Knights, and given how well-informed they were, it would be difficult to pursue and block them.

"Is there anything else?" Nie Yan asked.

"Just got news that the leader of the Bloodfiend Knights, Bloodfiend, has just advanced to Warlord."

"Warlord?" Nie Yan's heart tightened. "How did this guy get so fast?" But on second thought, roughly calculating, it had been nearly three months since the Bloodfiend Knights came to the surface. The number of players killed was countless. As the leader of the Bloodfiend Knights, that guy's kill count must have reached a terrifying level. If it were Nie Yan, staying underground for two months, he estimated that he could also reach Warlord.

"These guys are killing too hard. The Saturn Empire has been brought to the verge of collapse. Dozens of guilds are besieging them, but they still can't do anything. It's impossible to calculate how many casualties they have suffered. It's normal for them to kill their way to Warlord," Guo Huai said with a wry smile.
