The time in the Diablo World is twilight.
On the distant horizon, the setting sun was like blood.
The towering wooden fences, like city walls, enclosed a vast camp where people could live safely without being attacked by demons and monsters. Outside the [ Rogue Encampment ], on the desolate plains, the roars of demonic beasts still echoed.
Sun Fei and Elena arrived at [ Kurast Docks ] via the Teleport and received the fourth quest of Act III [ The Blackened Temple ].
This quest requires Sun Fei to travel to the temple [ Travincal ], which has fallen to the dark side, kill the High Council members who were originally in the temple but have now fallen, and then find the flail hidden in the Dark Temple. Together with the other items found in the second quest, he can synthesize the [ Khalim's Flail ].
The [ Khalim's Flail ] is a quest item that can break the Compelling Orb seal that Diablo used to protect his brother Mephisto. Only by breaking this Compelling Orb can Sun Fei complete the next quest—entering the [ Durance of Hate Challenge] and fighting Mephisto, the final boss of the third act's map, [ Kurast Docks ].
The Teleport in [ Travincal ] hadn't been activated yet, so the two had to walk, slaying all sorts of terrifying and cruel monsters along the way. Finally, after two hours, they slowly arrived at [ Travincal ].
This is an ancient architectural complex resembling a temple.
Each of the tall buildings is filled with a magnificent and mysterious atmosphere. They are all made of huge Rock, and the walls and pillars are carved with exquisite patterns and designs. The entire temple is well-planned, with buildings stacked one on top of another, exuding an air of vicissitude.
This place was originally a place of worship for the gods, but unfortunately, it has been corrupted by the power of demons for a long time. The original priests of the temple have all fallen and become demons of Hell. The entire building no longer has the aura of light it once had, but is shrouded in gloomy darkness and Death Energy.
The moment Sun Fei and Elena set foot on the land of [ Travincal ], they were attacked by monsters.
This place is filled with [ Berserk ] who have long since become tools of slaughter, retaining only their killing instincts. In addition to the [ Berserk ], there are even more ferocious [ Zealot ] created after the original members of the Temple Council fell from grace. These demons are covered in scales and show signs of bone formation, making them incredibly hard and sharp.
Of course, Travincal's most terrifying and primary enemies are the three legendary boss-level demons who were originally members of the Temple's high council and became corrupted: Toorc Icefist, the Wicked Ismail, and Flamefinger Geleb.
In Sun Fei's past life's computer game memories, these high-level demons were extremely terrifying. Every time he went to [ Travincal ], he would accidentally die once or twice, and his mercenaries would almost always die as well.
Therefore, Sun Fei was very cautious after arriving in [ Travincal ]. As soon as he entered the complex, he immediately opened a [ Scroll of Town Portal ], ready to pick up the beautiful mercenary and run away if things went wrong.
Seeing Sun Fei's cautious and wary demeanor, Elena also became extremely vigilant.
But twenty minutes later, Elena's wary gaze turned to surprise.
Sun Fei, on the other hand, wore an embarrassed and thoughtful expression.
To everyone's surprise, the demons that Sun Fei had initially considered a huge threat posed no threat whatsoever to the two of them.
The terrifying and troublesome scenes from her memory never materialized. The entire process was incredibly simple. Even without Sun Fei, the main force, intervening, Elena alone could have completely annihilated them. The so-called boss-level demons, such as [ Icefist ] Toorc, [ The Wicked ] Ismail, and [ Flamefinger ] Geleb, were also quite insignificant. The entire process only involved Elena wasting three arrows. The three menacing demon bosses turned into a pile of ice shards amidst their miserable howls.
This trip to [ Travincal ] finally made Sun Fei realize more clearly something he had previously overlooked—
That means his own power has grown beyond the original balance of power in the Diablo World.
Due to continuous cultivation and learning in the World of Light, his strength has begun to surpass the original balance of the Diablo World. According to the power balance settings of the computer game in his previous life, the members of the [ Travincal ] Dark Council, who used to pose a serious threat to him, are no longer a threat at all. He can kill them as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.
Especially recently, after the mysterious powerful figure rebuilt the martial arts foundation of the Azeroth Continent, Sun Fei's ability to utilize the strength of his Diablo World character has far exceeded the skill limitations of the game world. In other words, the combat power of his level 65 Barbarian character has actually surpassed the highest limit of a level 65 character in Diablo World.
Another person who disrupted the balance of power in the Diablo World was the beautiful mercenary Elena.
Compared to the rigid mercenaries in computer games from her previous life, Elena's performance was completely different; she had embarked on a path to becoming a powerful figure, one that Sun Fei didn't know how he would achieve in the future.
Having acquired the Paladin Mode bloodline, the beautiful mercenary, possessing the four magical powers of electricity, fire, ice, and poison, and along with Sun Fei Paladin Bloodline, has far surpassed the awkward position she held in the computer game of his previous life—a position where she was only useful as a meat shield and Decoy, offering little practical help. She has become Sun Fei's complete combat partner, Sun Fei even suspects that with Elena's current strength, she could single-handedly take on some final bosses.
After slaying several boss monsters, another wave of carnage ensued.
During this four-hour period, the two engaged in another frenzied killing spree. The Barbarian's experience points continued to increase, and Sun Fei finally managed to level up his Barbarian character to level 70 before the game's time limit for the day expired.
Meanwhile, Sun Fei had already completed the first five quests on the third act's world map [ Kurast Docks ].
The fourth quest on the third act's world map, [ Lam Esen's Tome ], doesn't actually consume much time. Sun Fei finds Gu in the cave in [ Kurast Bazaar ], and after handing him over to the NPC in the city, he receives 5 attribute points as a reward.
At this point, Elena's level also reached 67.
However, at Sun Fei's request, the beautiful mercenary did not continue to increase her attack power. Instead, she added most of her attribute points to the new [ Paladin Bloodline ] to improve her defense and self-healing ability. Therefore, the increase in attack power was limited, and her combat ability remained at the level of Six-Star Class Peak to Seven-Star Class Initial Stage.
Before reaching the daily game time limit, Sun Fei logged out of the Diablo World.
Elena, on the other hand, remained at the [ Rogue Encampment ] for the time being.
Although Sun Fei's Spiritual Power had improved enough to extend his own stay in the Diablo World to five hours, and also extended the time that the [ Rogue Encampment ] members could stay in the World of Light to five hours, Elena wanted to save those five hours for the daytime tomorrow, considering that there was also an Empire Ranking Competition match tomorrow.
The next day, as dawn broke, the eldest princess finally bid farewell and, escorted by the young girl Ziyan and the armored swordsman, returned to the capital early in the morning mist.
Compared to her previous high-profile and glamorous departure, the princess's departure was unusually low-key. Many people did not even notice the departure of this " Female Literary Sage " of the empire, and thought that she was still sleeping in King of Chambord's King tent, because many people saw the princess of the empire enter King of Chambord's King tent last night.
Time passed both slowly and swiftly.
The sun continued to rise higher.
As the golden sunrise shone from the Moro Pass onto the camp of the 250th Affiliated State, all things in the world finally regained their vitality from the shroud of night. The camp was filled with noise, and the white breaths exhaled by the people rose up like a cloud of steam. Amidst the shouts of men and the neighing of horses, the winter chill was dispelled.
When Sun Fei arrived at Robben's tent at the agreed time to treat Old Arjen's leg injuries, he found that Robben was not there. Upon asking, Old Arjen told Sun Fei that he had seriously injured Inzaghi on the sword-testing platform the day before. Although it was a ring match, Robben felt very guilty, especially since they were both serving the Robben of King of Chambord. Therefore, he hadn't come to take care of his father last night, but instead stayed in Inzaghi's room.
Robben's actions made Sun Fei even more satisfied with this quick-witted swordsman.
After switching to [ Paladin Mode ] and using his power to clear some of the nasty muscle and Dou Qi channels for Old Arjen, Sun Fei was about to leave when he heard an exaggerated, boisterous laugh coming from outside. It was [ Heng and Ha Blockheads ] Pierce and Drogba, with Robben's voice mixed in...
Sun Fei felt a sense of unease.
Yesterday, because Robben injured Inzaghi on the fencing platform, those two idiots have been hostile towards Robben ever since. Even after Robben joined Chambord City, they still ignored him. How come they're now chatting and laughing together, seemingly getting along so well?
The tent door opened, and Pierce and Drogba walked in.
First update.
