Who Did You Say Was the Last One?

Stepping out of the cave, the weather had warmed up, and sunlight shone on the wilderness.

"Um?"

Looking into the distance, the world seemed to freeze. Several hellhounds and a Chaos Beast in the distance were all frozen in place, completely still.

The hellhounds raised their necks, facing a certain direction, and closed their eyes, as if on a pilgrimage.

Only when I got within five meters did one of the hellhounds turn around and pounce on me with a ferocious look on its face.

Draw your sword, and kill instantly!

However, just as I was killing this hellhound, the other hellhounds nearby remained completely unmoved, as if they hadn't sensed anything happening around them.

What's going on? Previously, these hellhounds had a rather long "aggro trigger distance," attracting them almost from within sight.

Open the map.

"Ding-dong~~~"

In the northern part of the map, not too far from me, an area is occupied by a demon head emblem. At this moment, this demon head seems to have a heartbeat, beating once every two seconds and emitting an alarm-like sound.

[Attention! Warp power is about to descend upon Lost Valley!]

Divine power descending?

I frowned; it sounded like something serious.

The location of the demon's head is in Lost Valley, about 10 kilometers away from me, and the direction that the Chaos Beast and Cerberus nearby are heading is Lost Valley!

Within the star map, players were constantly spamming the chat, and almost all of them were from overseas servers.

"All personnel, listen to my command! Proceed to Lost Valley!"

"Gather, Lost Valley!"

"If nothing unexpected happens, the one coming will definitely be a top-tier boss from the Chaos Faction, starting with Chaos Demon Lord, and perhaps if we're lucky, we'll even see Chaos Demon God."

"Let's get started, S9 gear is calling!"

"Charge! These beasts of the warp dare to use Invade Dream to reap player lives! We will not sit idly by and wait to be killed! It's time to unleash the fury of us players!"

They seem overly optimistic.

These foreign server players have never actually seen the Chaos Demon Lord, so subconsciously they probably think the Chaos Demon Lord is an S9-rank boss?

How naive!

If all goes as expected, I'm currently the only player who has actually seen the Chaos Demon Lord, so should I tell them?

Looking at the Points, I'm still ranked first in the National Server, leading second-place Bai Yuekui by 27% of the Points.

As for the foreign servers, they should have a separate ranking, and they are not ranked together with us.

While fighting the Chaos Beast, he glanced at his friends list.

He then sent Elizabeth a voice message.

"Ding Han!"

She answered the voice call immediately, saying, "The power of the subspace is about to descend upon Lost Valley. Do you want to bring some people over and help us conquer Lost Valley? This map should be the core map of the Lost Land, so the Points will definitely be extremely high."

"Foolish white."

I said calmly, "First, I won't go to Lost Valley. Second, I have some exclusive news for you."

"What exclusive news?"

"You underestimate the Chaos Demon Lord's rank. I already saw one of the Chaos Demon Lord, the Obsessed Gu, in a hidden map yesterday. She's an S11 Eternal-rank BOSS. Her psionic skills could easily kill me. So every one of you will die if you encounter the Chaos Demon Lord."

As I spoke, I smiled faintly and said, "So I suggest you don't go either. Just take your people from the Gilded Rose and fight the Chaos Beast on the outskirts. Don't go to Lost Valley to join in the fun."

"But..."

Inside the chat box, Elizabeth frowned slightly. "But our Gilded Rose are, after all, part of the UK server, part of the European Server alliance. I've already promised Moon Soil and the others that I'd lead the Gilded Rose elites into the valley. So even if the Chaos Demon Lord really is an Eternal-level BOSS, we can only face him. You know, I can't persuade Moon Soil and his group."

"Knew."

I nodded.

That's just Elizabeth's personality; she's a very self-reliant woman who always does what she believes is right, so you can't persuade her otherwise.

So, although I decided not to enter Lost Valley, I still charged towards it, just to see what the commotion was like.

I think it's safe to just wander around outside the valley without going in.

An hour later, after entering the five-kilometer radius of Lost Valley, a progress bar for divine power appeared before their eyes. At this moment, the Chaos Creature scattered throughout the surrounding wilderness seemed to have sensed the call. Led by the Chaos Beast, a large number of creatures rushed towards Lost Valley, stirring up clouds of dust in the wilderness.

In the Team Channel, Ruolin asked, "Ding Han, are you also in the vicinity of Lost Valley?"

"Exist."

I nodded. "You've also heard about the divine power descending upon Lost Valley?"

"Yes, the rumors are spreading like wildfire. The Player Faction in Huaining City are currently discussing whether or not to go."

"Tell them not to go; they'll just be throwing their lives away."

"Ah?"

Ruolin asked in surprise, "Why?"

"The Chaos Demon Lord is very strong; the players are currently unable to defeat him."

I said calmly, "If you want to defeat the Chaos Demon Lord, according to my estimate, you'd need to reach the late stages of the Subspace Storm version, level up to 80 and undergo the eighth job advancement, and then assemble a full set of S10 Void-rank equipment. Only then might you have a slight chance of winning."

"So the Chaos Demon Lord is S11 Eternal-rank?"

"Clever!"

"Fine, I'll tell them not to go and die."

See, this is where Ruolin is better than Shabai; she's more compliant and doesn't get caught up in trivial matters.

After slaying a large group of Chaos Beast, I carried my bloodstained Power Sword and climbed the southern slope of Lost Valley.

Looking down, the Lost Valley was now in complete chaos.

Two distinct forces converged into the valley from the outside: one was a team of players from foreign servers, and the other was a continuous stream of Chaos Beast, hellhounds, and other Chaos Creature.

Faced with a large number of Pink BOSS of the Chaos Beast level, players on foreign servers were all smiles, forming teams to conquer them and making great strides.

So, I got too lazy to grind for Points anymore. I sat on a rock, took out a coconut latte from Luckin Coffee from my storage space, and watched the chaotic battlefield below while sipping my coffee.

"Ding Han..."

Elizabeth sent a message: "I think I see you. Are you on the southern slope of Lost Valley?"

"Um."

I looked over and saw Elizabeth standing in front of the Gilded Rose Guild's position, holding Power Sword and looking at me.

"Should I say hello?" she asked with a smile.

"No, you want to expose me and let Moon Soil bring people to kill me?"

"Then I won't say hello. I can't let you get hurt; you're my good friend!"

"Alright, why don't you listen to your good friend's advice and take your people away from the valley immediately? It's not too late to leave now."

I glanced at the progress bar on the map; there were still 5 minutes until the divine power descended.

"I really can't leave, otherwise... I'll lose my foothold in the European Server League, and that will affect far more than just me, Ding Han, you have to understand me."

"Understood. Goodbye, you silly white. Tell your men that if they are killed, they should not resurrect on the spot. They should return to the city immediately. Don't waste the Resurrection Sacred Canon."

"Yes, I will."

After finishing a cup of coffee and filling the progress bar, the sky suddenly changed color!

"Crack~~~Crack~~~"

In the sky, streaks of fine purple lightning rained down, causing a large number of Chaos Beast, Hellhounds, and others to raise their heads and look at the sky with awe.

Meanwhile, the foreign server players took the opportunity to wreak havoc, reaping a large amount of loot and Experience Points.

In any case, they were certainly well-fed and watered before the divine power descended, so the loot from those Chaos Beasts and Hellhounds wouldn't be too bad.

"They're here!"

Within the star map, a burst of excited laughter echoed from Moon Soil: "Brothers, this is the first decisive battle between us players and the Chaos Faction! Keep your spirits up! No matter how strong the Chaos BOSS is, we'll wear him down! We must secure the First Kill on the Chaos Demon Lord and show those Chinese players what we're made of!"

Everyone responded enthusiastically.

"Alliance Leader, that Shadow Chaser seems to be in the Lost Valley area, spying on us somewhere," someone warned.

"Snort!"

A leader-level player sneered, "Chinese players turn into cowards on the battlefield, only daring to watch from afar. Isn't that always been the case?"

I couldn't hold back any longer and sent a message in the Star Chart: "Hmph, I don't know who gave you the nerve to mock Chinese players like you, you piece of trash? Fine, fine, you guys are amazing, let's see how you fight the Chaos Demon Lord."

"Ding Han."

Moon Soil said, "This is a battle in which players rebel against the Chaos Faction. You don't have to participate, but there's no need to stand by and make such sarcastic remarks."

I ignored it.

There are more of them; I'd definitely lose if we argued.

At that very moment, divine power descended, and thousands of purple lightning bolts in the sky coalesced, tearing apart subspace!

A figure emerged gracefully from the crack.

He wore a set of jet-black berserker armor, held a Battle Saber that gleamed with a blood-red light, his gray cloak fluttered behind him, and long, fiery red hair flew behind his helmet.

As expected, he is one of the five Chaos Demon Lords!

He didn't need to introduce himself for the players to recognize him.

Berserker, the lowest-ranked of the five Chaos Demon Lords on the bounty list!

"He's out!"

From the crowd, a sword-wielding super-powered warrior wielding Monomolecular Longsword exclaimed excitedly, "It's Berserker! Ranked fifth among the five Chaos Demon Lords, theoretically he's definitely the weakest. As long as we're willing to expend the Resurrection Sacred Canon, wearing him down shouldn't be a problem!"

As a result, his words were like stepping on a cat's tail!

In mid-air, Berserker slowly turned around, his angry eyes fixed on the player, and asked, word by word, "Who are you calling the weakest Chaos Demon Lord?"

It's over!

That kid's words hurt Berserker's pride!

"Peter, you idiot, watch out!!"

Moon Soil suddenly turned around.

Then, he saw the Berserker vanish into thin air as a blur. Immediately afterward, another subspace rift appeared above the player's head. A blade of light burst forth, and a strike imbued with subspace power slashed at the sword-wielding superweapon, dealing AOE damage to an area with a radius of approximately 5 yards!

"Shuashuashua~~"

Golden rays rose up, instantly annihilating everyone!

And right beside the raging blade of light, a line of golden skill names appeared—

Subspace Jump Slash!
