Chapter 1305: 423. Demon God Host_2


    It didn’t take long before the originally spacious and bright corridor became a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.


    Everywhere there were torn power armors and limbs, the bloodstains on the walls were striking, and the shrill and frenzied screams were incessant.


    “ng, ng, ng—”


    Several crew members threw themselves against the warpedboratory door, hammering violently, making the door ng loudly.


    The mechanical chains that connected the door to the wall structure snapped one after another, and the power cables transmitting energy were rudely torn apart, with sparks flying everywhere.


    The Dark Priest holding up theboratory door shouted hoarsely,


    ...


    “Quick, quick, quick!”


    “Speed up the chanting!”


    “Theboratory door won’t hold much longer!”


    “Hurry! Hurry up!”


    A Dark Priest standing on the ritual array and chanting softly suddenly threw back his head, revealing a face with prominent veins under his hood.


    His eyes were wide, filled with bloodshot veins like cobwebs, and dark red blood droplets fell from the corners of his mouth.


    Foam appeared at the corners of his mouth, and the Dark Priest’s voice inexplicably rose:


    “Ah~~ I can feel it! It’s the call from the supreme being! He is calling me! Listen to my voice!”


    “Dammit!” another Dark Priest felt a bad premonition and cursed,


    “How could this bastard fail at this moment? Pull him away from the ritual array now, otherwise…”


    Before he could finish, the Dark Priest with foam at his mouth screamed,


    “I shall serve You with ughter and darkness! My master!!”


    His scream caused a violent vibration in theboratory, and all the ssware exploded violently.


    The five brains that had been ckened by the Array swelled at the same time, their surfaces stretching almost transparent.


    The Dark Priests present spat out blood and couldn’t help stepping back, several of them copsing to the ground in a disgraceful heap.


    The ritual array had lost control!


    And it was a severe case of losing control!


    In that instant, the skulls of the five Artificial Angels exploded.


    As the flesh flew in all directions, as if manipted by an invisible force, it formed a massive cocoon around the frenzied Dark Priest.


    The remaining Dark Priests looked in horror at the giant meat cocoon that stood over three meters tall, their bodies trembling incessantly.


    “It’s terrible! A Dark Deity has descended!”


    “Run! This guy has be a host for a Dark Deity!”


    The Dark Priests, using their hands and feet, steadied themselves against the Tables and Chairs in theboratory and hurried towards the door.


    But unfortunately, their route to escape was fraught with peril.


    The frenzied crew outside hadpletely blocked the corridor, leaving no space for the Dark Priests to pass through.


    Moreover, the Dark Priests were also on the attack list of the frenzied crew.


    One Dark Priest had just approached the door when an arm reached in from outside and grabbed him.


    This arm was covered by a power arm, powerful and heavy with astounding grip strength.


    The Dark Priest in a ck cloak was no match for the irond hand, which gruesomely twisted his arm all at once, causing non-stop screams of agony.


    “Idiot! Don’t get close to the door crack!” the Dark Priest guarding the door shouted.


    But how could they enter the corridor without getting close to the door crack?


    The Dark Priests trapped in theboratory looked at each other, only able to despairingly and pessimistically watch the meat cocoon inside the room, waiting for their own deaths.


    As they had feared, with a bang, an explosion urred.


    This time it wasn’t because Nnd Lee had done something; instead, the meat cocoon itself exploded.


    Blood sttered in all directions, the room festooned with filth.


    A sinister figure, covered in bone spikes, slowly stood up from the ground, straightening its more than three meters tall slender body.


    This figure raised its wolf-w-like right hand in the air and gently clenched it.


    The surrounding chunks of flesh and blood gathered, shifting in squirming motions into a cloak, armor, helmet, arm guards, and long boots, which automatically adorned its body.


    Just as Nnd Lee observed secretly, a message from the Starry Sea game appeared in his mind.


    [Attention!]


    [A “Demon Raising” event has urred in this area!]


    [“Demon God Host” has arrived!]


    [You and all yers in the same area have automatically received the emergency task “Eliminate the Demon God Host”!]


    [Task Details: You have the freedom to choose to avoid the Demon God Host or to engage it in battle.]


    [Task reward: Sessfully avoiding the Demon God Host grants no reward. Sessfully defeating the Demon God Host rewards you with a Demon God Cell corresponding to the host’s level.]


    [Failure Penalty: None.]


    Huh?


    The game system sent me a task too?


    Nnd Lee paused for a moment, then turned to sense the direction of the yers.


    The barrage from the yers paused for half a second, apparently having also received the message from the game.


    Unlike Nnd’s bewilderment, the yers seemed inexplicably excited, and their emotions were much more intense than when they sessfully boarded.


    “So there’s a Demon God Host hidden within this fleet! No wonder this is an SS level side quest!”


    “I knew it! An SS level side quest couldn’t possibly be just about attacking a transport fleet!”


    “We’re going to make a fortune! There’s actually a Demon God Host here!”


    “Quick, report this to the Commander! I bet those who went off doing other things must be regretting it deeply now!”


    What’s going on?


    Why are the yers this excited?


    Nnd sensed something odd, feeling like he might have overlooked something obvious to the yers.


    The yers who were originally sweeping other battleships heard that a Demon God Host had appeared on the heavy transport ship and immediately dropped their easy targets and headed toward the transport ship.


    More and more yers gathered on the heavy transport ship, excitedly clearing out the armed crew inside, while discussing enthusiastically.


    Only then did Nnd understand what was happening.


    Before the current game expansion was released, the yers’ favorite outdoor boss to beat was the Demon God Host.


    For the yers, this was a random emergent event that appeared in densely popted areas.


    Once they killed the Demon God Host, yers could receive a Demon God Cell as a reward.


    The Demon God Cell, after being rendered harmless, could be used to make either an Interster Warrior Breakthrough Potion or a Gic Lock Release Potion.


    The Interster Warrior Breakthrough Potion is specifically used to advance one’s rank in the Interster Warrior profession, for instance, from a full-level (Level 60) Junior Interster Warrior to Level 0 Intermediate Interster Warrior.


    Meanwhile, the Gic Lock Release Potion is rted to the Gic Modification Body profession, and its effects are somewhat simr to those of the Interster Warrior Breakthrough Potion.


    The difference is that, in the breakthrough to an Advanced Gic Modification Body, yers have a chance to unlock the Telekic Master, a hidden profession.


    Because the Telekic Master can only be unlocked with a 0.02% chance after breaking through to an Advanced Gic Modification Body, the wealthy repeatedly use Gene Repair Fluid to reset the rank of their Gic Modification Body, then inject the Gic Lock Release Potion to attempt unlocking the Telekic Master hidden profession over and over.


    This activity directly leads to a shortage of Gic Lock Release Potions.


    As the raw material, Demon God Cells naturally became the most sought-after valuable item.


    Even with the release of the expansion, the price of Demon God Cells in the United Bureau Exchange had not fallen.


    After the appearance of using the Great Gate technique, the price of Demon God Cells soared.


    Rather than say they are linked to Credit Points, it’s better to say their price foundation is in real-world currency.


    It can be said that Demon God Cells are the purest hard currency in the game, perfectly offsetting the negative effects of a huge burst in the production of Credit Points.


    The yers who boarded the ship, hearing that a Demon God Host had appeared, felt as though they were on the verge of bing overnight millionaires.


    Seeing the Demon God Host was almost as warm and familiar to them as seeing a rtive.


    yers had already figured out thebat mechanics of this type of outdoor boss, the Demon God Host, through hundreds of battles.


    Moreover, they now possessed Three-ring Magic, boosting theirbat power by a whole level.


    The Demon God Host that appeared here was essentially a gift.


    Please, keep sending more of these generous rewards our way.


    The yers frolicked and yed, feeling incredibly rxed.


    They weren’t in a hurry to go to the location of the Demon God Host marked by the game to trigger the battle.


    Not until all the yers who received the message had arrived; starting the boss fight then wouldn’t be toote.


    After all, the more yers there are, the stronger their overall damage output, and the faster they could defeat the boss.


    Moreover, the so-called Demon God Cells weren’t dropped from the Demon God Host, but came from the task rewards.


    yers didn’t need to fiercelypete and fight over who would im the spoils.


    The game system’s fair distribution of outdoor boss rewards was much better than the old “whonds the killing blow, gets the loot” setup.
