While countless monsters were wreaking havoc in Rogue Town, which was completely blocked by the magic circle mask, on the High Tower altar in the town, which was protected by another magic circle mask, Baron Rogue, who was wearing gorgeous noble clothes, had a very crazy smile on his face.
"Kill! Pain! Despair! Fight with all your strength! Please be sure to present the most sumptuous feast to Hell and the abyss!"
He turned his head and looked at the citizens of Rogge Town who were howling in agony under the tower as they were being slaughtered by a large number of monsters. There was no trace of sadness or guilt in his eyes, only strong excitement, as if he wished that this kind of massacre could be carried out more violently.
"All great achievements require necessary sacrifices! My townspeople! I will always remember your achievements!"
He then opened his arms and raised his head to the sky and shouted a few words loudly. The expression on his face looked very enjoyable, as if his life had reached its climax.
After a few seconds, he shifted his gaze to the crystal ball on the top of the pillar in front of him.
The crystal ball at this moment is quite different from the beginning. It is no longer as crystal clear as it was at the beginning. The whole thing exudes a very dark and evil aura, which looks extremely weird. Only by looking carefully inside can you see an even darker and evil altar inside.
"Huh? Holy City Why isn't there much movement over there..."
After staring at the crystal ball for two seconds, Baron Rogue discovered a problem, that is, as the initiator of the sacrificial ceremony, he did not feel how much sacrificial power Holy City Aifilan contributed to his ceremony. It was almost completely still and stagnant. This quite abnormal situation made him frown.
While frowning and thinking, he then shifted his gaze from the center of the crystal ball to the bottom of the crystal ball. Then, under the cover of the dark and evil aura, he discovered that there was already a trace of very shallow but obviously not false scarlet color there. This discovery immediately relaxed his frown.
"Haha... My sacrifice has begun to receive a response... It's just a small accident, and it can't hinder my great plan at all."
He immediately stopped paying too much attention to the abnormal situation at Holy City and concentrated on returning to his current priorities, such as continuing to chant the incantation of the sacrificial ceremony, allowing more monsters to pour into Rogue Town from Dark Rift, allowing the pain, despair and death of nearly a hundred thousand people to fill the gap in the ritual needs, allowing him to obtain more mysterious gifts from the great existence.
At the same time, Wang Zhifan, who was thousands of miles away, had already arrived at the teleportation array that their mission team had used before in Red Deer. He tried to use this teleportation array to return to the area of Rogue Town according to the operation method of the professionals he saw a day ago, but soon discovered that there was something wrong with his operation at some point, or the supply of magic power was insufficient. The teleportation array did not respond at all, and he failed to open it smoothly.
"Miscalculation... This thing is much more complicated than it looks... We should bring those people in the convoy over to help... However, it will definitely take a lot of time to convince them and bring them over. I'd better rush there directly."
After thinking about it, Wang Zhifan gave up on spending a lot of trouble to rely on others to use this teleportation array to return to Rogue Town. He once again got on Crimson Deer Horse's horse and let it rush to its destination at the highest speed.
Don't think that the method he chose is very stupid or inefficient. In fact, considering that Crimson Deer Horse exceeds the speed of ordinary airplanes, it only takes more than an hour to reach Rogue Town across more than 2,000 kilometers. It is not necessarily slower than when he went to communicate with the professionals in the fleet and then brought them to this teleportation array. It may even be much faster.
So Wang Zhifan then rode Crimson Deer Horse into the sky. According to the map information he learned from the red-haired mage Andre in the carriage a day ago, he rushed to the location of Rogue Town at high speed. No matter what obstacles he encountered along the way, such as when he encountered a monster flying in the air, he would directly use the power of ice to control it and get rid of it, never delaying a second in the middle.
In more than an hour, night fell quickly. The professionals and players who wanted to escape in Aifilan Ruins were fighting hard for their lives. The rampage of a large number of monsters in Rogue Town also continued, and the sacrifice ceremony of Baron Rogue was also carried out simultaneously.
At this moment, almost an hour and a half has passed. Inside Rogue Town, which is blocked by the tough magic circle, the screams of the residents can rarely be heard. Looking around, there is no living human figure. There are all kinds of ferocious monsters, large and small, walking through the streets. Some are gnawing at human corpses everywhere, some are fighting and attacking each other, and some are still trying their best to search for survivors in the town.
It is difficult to say how many people have died in Rogue Town so far. It may be ninety-nine thousand or one hundred thousand. Although there should be a few hiding humans still alive, it is obvious that this place has been completely Annihilation. It is no longer a shelter suitable for human habitation, but a terrifying place where countless monsters gather.
However, no matter how dangerous the place is, there will be some brave people who do not choose to hide all the time. Driven by some strong motives, they dare to challenge the place where monsters gather.
The current challenger is a masked, thin man in black. As a Assassin professional player, his superb stealth ability and extraordinary speed have allowed him to survive the monster siege until now. Although he encountered some special types of monsters that could detect him and launched a crazy pursuit, he found a way to solve or get rid of them.
The location of his challenge was the place he visited yesterday at Rogue Town. It was a sturdy noble warehouse, which contained many standard Rare Tier equipment.
Yesterday, this player wanted to get more gains in this warehouse, but he was ultimately defeated under the influence of a large number of guards and Omniscient Crystal. Now those guards and Omniscient Crystal have disappeared, and the existence that interfered with his gains has turned into a large number of monsters gathered here.
"Damn... why are there so many monsters in this place..."
After observing in the invisible state for a while, the Assassin player discovered that the situation was more complicated than he imagined. Originally, he thought that the surrounding area of a building with not many people would not attract the attention of too many monsters. However, he found that the number of monsters gathered here was no less than elsewhere, and even seemed to be more numerous than elsewhere in the surrounding area.
"Fight for Rare Tier equipment!"
He hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and chose to continue approaching. After all, the temptation of a warehouse of Rare Tier equipment was too great for him. Even though the properties of these Rare Tier equipment were similar and they were a series of equipment with specialized effects, he did not want to let it go.
As a player, he understands why there is no shop in this village after passing through this village. No one knows what will happen if he continues to delay. The best thing to do is to put enough equipment into his personal space first.
He then slowly approached the large number of monsters gathered around the warehouse in the invisible state, always paying attention to whether they noticed him as an uninvited guest. In a place like this, if there was the slightest accident, he would be surrounded by all the monsters. No matter how fast he was, he might not be able to escape.
"Very good... none of these monsters noticed me... my chance to rise is right in front of me!"
After some simple testing, the Assassin player determined that the monsters gathered here should not be the type to restrain him, so he became more bold and walked directly into the group of these monsters in stealth, carefully passing by them without making any noise or causing any pebbles on the ground to move. He even used the Assassin professional skills to reduce the aura on his body as much as possible, allowing him to walk in like air.
This process sounded a little scary, but the result was relatively smooth. He finally passed the group of monsters outside the warehouse without any danger, arrived at the door of the warehouse, and then entered inside.
Like most other current buildings in Rogue Town, this warehouse has been forcibly destroyed by monsters. These brutal guys dug through the thick metal door of the warehouse with their claws, smashed through the solid marble walls of the warehouse with their sharp corners, and then swarmed in and completely tore apart the few guards and administrators inside. This place was not much different from other locations in Rogue Town, and was also filled with the stench of many bloody liquids and corpses.
However, these things did not pose any trouble to the Assassin player who had sneaked in. He only noticed one thing at the moment, and that was that the interior of the warehouse had become a mess. The once neatly arranged display racks had all collapsed to the ground. Various equipment on the display racks had been scattered everywhere. Some of them were covered by the rubble in the damaged areas of the wall, and some were directly violently damaged. Many of the armor-type equipment were even completely turned into pieces, torn apart by violence, and scattered on the ground like fine rags.
[Demon-Slaying Spear (rare) (damaged)]
[This spear has suffered high-intensity physical damage. It has lost its special power and is no more useful than a fire stick. Only by finding a sufficiently professional blacksmith to repair it can it regain its original function.]
[Dagger of Justice (rare) (damaged)]
[The dagger was forcibly broken, and the perpetrator even left his own blood on it...]
[Guardian Shield (rare) (damaged)]
"What's going on... why is all the equipment here destroyed?"
When the Assassin player looked around and found that there was no normal equipment display information, his joyful heart suddenly sank to the bottom. He didn't understand why the equipment here had been damaged to such an extent. It was completely different from what he imagined that all the equipment was scattered on the ground and allowed him to pick it up and rise from there.
Not long after, a corpse in a corner of the warehouse destroyed by monsters caught his attention and gave him a hint.
That was not the corpse of a human, but the corpse of an ordinary fanged monster, and this monster did not seem to be killed by humans. It could be seen that it was biting a long sword with its fangs and big mouth before death, causing the blade of the long sword to bend and deform. However, a display stand next to it seemed to have collapsed when it was doing this, causing many weapons on it to fall on it, which just ended its sin.
Throughout the warehouse, many pieces of equipment can be found with teeth marks that were definitely not caused by humans. All this also shows who is the culprit of destroying these pieces of equipment.
"Damn monster! What a fucking disease! Why are you destroying things here!"
Assassin Player felt surprisingly angry and frustrated at this moment. He had thought a lot and was mentally prepared that the equipment here had already been looted by others. However, he never expected that these bloodthirsty and brutal monsters would not only kill humans, but also have a hobby of destroying equipment.
"Is it because these equipments are a series of products specially designed to suppress darkness and evil, so they are naturally disgusted by these monsters? So as soon as the monsters found them, they went crazy and forcibly destroyed them? But even if this is the case, the equipment in this world feels fragile enough..."
Assassin Player quickly made a relatively reasonable guess based on the current findings, but his thoughts did not dwell on this issue for long and quickly moved on to the next matter.
This matter is his last hope at present, which is to search for valuable equipment here, because there may be some lucky equipment that has not been destroyed by monsters. For example, a piece of equipment is covered by something before the monster really notices it.
The next thing he has to do is to find them as much as possible. Otherwise, he has spent a lot of energy and taken such a big risk to come here and can only pick up some useless garbage. He himself cannot forgive himself.
This process was more risky than his previous plan. In order to find equipment that might still be intact, he had to move around the place surrounded by monsters carefully. If he found a relatively large door panel or stone, he would find a way to remove it without causing any obvious movement, so as to determine whether there was relatively intact equipment hidden under them.
In this way, after a careful and cautious search, he really found a good harvest, which was a Rare Tier ring, which was pressed under the wooden board of a display shelf.
[Ring of Light (rare) (slightly damaged)]
[This ring has suffered minor damage. Although it does not affect its special effects, it may be completely damaged if it receives further impact. Please find a suitable craftsman as soon as possible to completely repair it.]
"Yes, it's not in vain after all."
Assassin The player knew that this piece of equipment was still usable through the item display information, so he quickly picked it up and prepared to put it into his portable space.
But just as he was doing this, several wandering monsters happened to pass by outside the warehouse. One of them, a type with keen senses, seemed to have noticed his traces. It opened its big mouth and roared, causing the relatively calm monsters outside the warehouse to riot.
