John wasn’t surprised by the message from Ritchie.
The last time he leaked the news about the Attribute Fusion Stone, it drove the major guilds into a frenzy, leading them to launch reckless attacks on Dark Human cities.
However, when they failed to obtain the stone and instead faced relentless retaliation from the Dark Humans, the players found themselves in a dire situation.
Now that the players had calmed down, they began to suspect that the information about the Attribute Fusion Stone might have been false, and their anger once again turned toward John. There was no doubt that the Mike White Family was fanning the flames behind the scenes. John also wanted to take down the Mike White Family, but he knew that the time wasn’t right. The Mike White Family’s influence in the real world remained strong, and moving against them now would only lead to widespread chaos and suffering.
That something John was determined to avoid.
After considering the situation, he replied to Ritchie.
Godslayer: “Stick to the original plan. In three days, I’ll provide you with two Attribute Fusion Stones. As for those real-world factions, ignore them.”
The Elemental Secret Area had a cooldown period of seven days, and there were still three days left before it would reset.
As for the various real-world factions, John wasn’t concerned in the slightest.
He was currently with the Blues Family, and most of the Ancient Martial Arts Families had been brought under Chris’s control, leaving no one daring enough to challenge the Blues Family.
Ritchie: “Boss, there’s one more thing. The military is also interested in the Attribute Fusion Stone, claiming it’s for maintaining public order. The request came from Robert and Kevin of the Black Tiger Legion.”
John furrowed his brow as he read Ritchie’s message. He remembered that there were unresolved issues with Robert and Kevin within the military.
Robert was affiliated with the Griffin Family, but since the family had been destroyed, he likely wouldn’t pose any further threat.
Kevin, on the other hand, was a more insidious figure, known for his treachery and betrayal of humanity-someone who needed to be dealt with.
John responded to Ritchie.
Godslayer: “Investigate Kevin thoroughly. I suspect he might be colluding with the Mike White Family. As for Robert, if he hasn’t committed any major offenses, let him be. If they want Attribute Fusion Stones, they can earn them themselves.”
In the previous timeline, Robert had contributed significantly to defending Earth from the monster tide invasion, and John wasn’t ready to condemn him just yet.
The impact of Attribute Fusion on the real world was enormous. During the Blues Family’s crisis, John had no choice but to use the Attribute Fusion Stone.
However, he had no intention of supplying the military with a large number of these stones. Ritchie: “Got it, Boss. I’ll keep you updated with any new information.”
John closed the private chat and turned to the two women beside him. “Let’s go to Green Moon and level up.”
Green Moon was a Level 3 city that had already been destroyed by John, but the surrounding monsters hadn’t disappeared; instead, they had become even stronger. The area was now filled with formidable beasts, all at Level 3 and Level 4, making it an ideal place for the two women to level up.
The three of them rode on the black dragon, Avis.
The wind howled around them as they flew at high speed, quickly arriving at a forest within Green Moon’s territory.
This forest was teeming with powerful Minotaurs.
Level 100 Minotaur Soldiers, Level 110 Minotaur Warriors, and Level 120-130 Minotaur
Priests, along with the formidable Level 150 Minotaur Generals.
The area was crawling with them, and they were all formidable Level 4 creatures.
Without hesitation, John launched into a ruthless slaughter.
His damage output was terrifying, and these Level 4 monsters couldn’t withstand his attacks at all.
…
Over the course of three days, John had nearly cleared the entire forest, killing countless Minotaurs, which boosted his four basic attributes by over ten thousand points.
Both women had also reached Level 90 and above, climbing to the second and third spots on the leaderboard.
At their current pace, they would reach Level 100 and complete their fourth job advancement in just two more days.
Instead of continuing the massacre, John turned to the two women and asked, “I need to enter the Elemental Secret Area. Do you have any plans?”
“We want to go with you,” the two women responded without hesitation.
The Elemental Golems in the Elemental Secret Area weren’t classified as beasts, so killing them wouldn’t grant any experience.
The women were concerned that John’s Fox Spirit Curse might act up again, and staying by his side would allow them to help him detoxify if needed.
John nodded and didn’t refuse their request. The three of them made their way to the ruins of Green Moon.
The place was now in ruins, with the occasional monster wandering through.
The Elemental Secret Area was also classified as a City Secret Area, and only cities established by Dark Humans could control it.
Normally, when a city was destroyed, the Secret Area would also vanish.
But for some reason, this Elemental Secret Area hadn’t disappeared.
John took out the Elemental Key and activated it, leading the two women and Avis into the Secret Area.
Buzz!
A hum filled the air as spatial energy fluctuated, transporting them into the Elemental Secret
Area.
The environment was desolate, filled with Elemental Golems and powerful elemental energy. The area was dominated by the four basic elements: wind, fire, water, and earth. Similarly, John’s mastery of these four elemental magic skills was sealed, leaving him only able to use skills outside of these four elemental types.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a barrage of magic attacks-Wind Blades, Fireballs, and Water Arrows-came
hurtling towards John.
Avis quickly ascended, dodging the magical attacks, and unleashed a roar, spreading dragonfire across the battlefield.
John joined in with his dark, spatial, and lightning magic, launching a frenzied assault on the Elemental Golems below.
These fourth- and fifth-tier Elemental Golems were no match for John’s powerful magic attacks, and they were instantly obliterated.
Sini and Tracy, curious and eager, also began attacking the Elemental Golems below.
Swoosh!
Several arrows shot through the air as Sini launched her attack. However, a series of “miss”
indicators flashed.
This showing that her Divine Strategist archer skills, being physical attacks, had no effect on
the Elemental Golems.
Frustrated, Sini reluctantly gave up on her attempts.
At that moment, a purple mist spread out, enveloping the Elemental Golems, and a cascade of
damage numbers flickered above them.
It was Tracy’s attack.
John, surprised and curious, asked, “Tracy, what skill is that?”
Tracy proudly raised her staff and replied with a grin, “Old man, this is the only attack skill I
learned after switching to the Alchemist class-Misty Cloud. It inflicts continuous poison damage on enemies in the area.”
John was intrigued. Poison magic wasn’t tied to any elemental system, so the Elemental Golems couldn’t resist it.
Under the onslaught of various magical attacks, one by one, the Elemental Golems were shattered, leaving behind fragments of Attribute Fusion Stones.
John wondered if his Sword Immortal skills could damage these Elemental Golems.
With that thought in mind, he unleashed the Infinite Sword Array.
Buzz!
A humming sound filled the air as countless blades descended, covering the Elemental
Golems below.
-97010
-96802
…
Damage numbers flickered as the Infinite Sword Array only dealt additional magical damage, but it was still enough to instantly kill the fourth-tier Elemental Golems. However, the efficiency wasn’t high, so John abandoned using his Sword Immortal skills and
continued to rely on his dark, spatial, and lightning magic to attack the Elemental Golems.
With an 80% reduction in skill cooldowns, his magic filled the battlefield in a relentless
barrage.
Before long, the entire Secret Area was cleared of over 30,000 Elemental Golems, leaving the ground littered with Attribute Fusion Stone fragments.
Without waiting for John to say anything, the two women happily began collecting the
fragments.
One hundred Attribute Fusion Stone fragments could be combined to form a complete Attribute Fusion Stone, a treasure of incalculable value.
John managed to collect 344 more Attribute Fusion Stones in total.
As he looked at the now empty Secret Area, he didn’t choose to leave. Instead, he took out the
Universal Order given to him by the dark elf Tanya.
The Universal Order would disappear after use but had the power to reset the Secret Area.
[You have used the Universal Order. The Elemental Secret Area has been reset.]
The notification appeared, and the surrounding elemental energy surged. A new wave of
Elemental Golems materialized from thin air.
Boom!
Suddenly, the sound of battle echoed from a distance.
A holy light flashed, and an overwhelming aura filled the air.
“An angel!” John exclaimed as he spotted the holy figure hovering in the sky.
In this place, there was actually a Two-Winged Angel.
“Something’s not right!” John suddenly realized why Green Moon was destroyed, yet this Elemental Secret Area hadn’t vanished.
This Secret Area wasn’t an independent one; it was part of a larger whole.
The records in Green Moon only mentioned one of the entrances.
By using the Universal Order, he had inadvertently reset the entire Secret Area, summoning
Elemental Golems from other parts of this vast realm.
At that moment, the Two-Winged Angel noticed John’s group. Stopping its attack, the angel
stared at John in surprise. “Humans? How did you manage to enter the Elemental Secret
Area?”
John’s expression grew serious. Without responding to the angel, he turned to the two women and said, “Enter Death Land.” Without hesitation, he summoned both women and Avis into the Death Land.
The Two-Winged Angel was a seventh-tier legendary creature, far beyond his current ability
to defeat.
While John had resurrection methods, the others did not.
“Trying to escape?” The angel, seeing the sudden disappearance of the women, assumed John
was attempting to flee and immediately launched an attack.
A Holy Light flashed, striking directly at John.
Boom!
[You were killed by the Two-Winged Angel. The Blessed Ring has activated, and you have
been resurrected with full health.]
As expected, John was instantly killed by the Two-Winged Angel.
However, he quickly summoned Black Turtle from the Death Land.
He hoping the eight-tier Black Turtle could handle the situation. “What is this place?” Black Turtle, sensing the strange atmosphere, frowned. The space
around him felt unnervingly unfamiliar.
“An angel!” he then noticed the Two-Winged Angel and his expression changed.
Boom! Another Holy Light struck, forcing Black Turtle to transform into his true form, only to be blasted away, blood trickling from his mouth.
“Old man, can you handle this or not?” John was deeply disappointed. Despite Black Turtle being at the eighth tier, he was no match for the seventh-tier legendary Two-Winged Angel. Black Turtle angrily retorted, “Kid, this is a divine realm, and my powers are restricted. Lure
him into the Death Land!”
With that, he reverted to his human form. John had no choice but to rely on the Tree of Life.
He opened the passage to Death Land, and along with Black Turtle, they fled inside.
“You’re not getting away!” The Two-Winged Angel, unaware of the trap, followed them into
the Death Land.
Buzz!
As soon as they entered, the passage closed, and Black Turtle immediately launched an attack.
Slash!
A massive tidal wave surged forward, aimed directly at the Two-Winged Angel.
