Zhang Yue spent an entire day fighting Violent Zombies, and with the experience gained, he leveled up his Silver Armored Scorpion from level 18 to 20.
He also harvested 10 Common Grade Violent Zombies and used [Undead Evolution] to synthesize an Elite Grade Zombie!
Seeing the Feixin message from Liu Yao, Zhang Yue logged out of the Second World and returned to the Third World.
At the Holy Light Cemetery, he met with Liu Yao and received a black obsidian staff crafted by the renowned blacksmith Xiao Jiba.
Originally, he had just asked Liu Yao to make any piece of equipment, but Liu Yao had outdone himself and made a top-tier item!
[Darkness·Demon’s Eye] (lv20)
[Quality: 2 stars]
[Attributes: Golden]
[Magic Attack Power: 100]
[Bonus: Intelligence +6, Intelligence +6]
[Effect: Heart of the Demon (When at full health, immune to fatal damage from a single hit)]
[Description: A staff forged from the eye of a demon, cast in dark waters, possessing immense demonic power…]
[Crafted by: Xiao Jiba]
At this moment, Liu Yao said to Zhang Yue, “The main materials were insufficient, and time was tight, otherwise I could have made you a 3-star one!”
As expected of a Legendary Grade blacksmith!
Xiao Jiba truly lived up to his reputation!
Zhang Yue immediately replaced his level 8, 2-star [Destroyer·Frost Staff] with the Demon’s Eye.
His Magic Attack Power soared to 556.
Liu Yao excitedly asked, “Brother, what’s the plan now? The members of my Supreme Guild will fully support you!”
Just as Liu Yao thought Zhang Yue would use the [Darkness·Demon’s Eye] to take on the Killer Mercenary Group, Zhang Yue simply said, “Sleep.”
With that, Zhang Yue logged off, disappearing in a flash of white light in front of Liu Yao and the others.
Liu Yao and Li Xiaoyao were dumbfounded.
Offline, Zhang Yue had dinner and set an alarm for 11:55 PM before taking a nap.
When he woke up, it was 5 minutes to midnight.
Zhang Yue logged back in.
Soon, an Area Announcement descended from the sky—
[Area Announcement] (Holy Light Cemetery): “Ding~ Attention all Professionals in the Holy Light Cemetery: Grim Reaper Caesar will attack in 5 minutes. Please take shelter in the tombs!”
After a day, many other Professionals had also made their way from the Second World to the Third World.
In the cemetery, many Professionals logged off or hid in the tombs.
Only Zhang Yue calmly approached an NPC gravekeeper named Liwa.
According to the guide: Liwa held the most difficult mission in the Holy Light Cemetery!
Triggering the dialogue.
“The accursed Grim Reaper Caesar is coming to ravage our Holy Light Cemetery again!”
Liwa looked up at the dark night sky and sighed, “I don’t know when these days of hiding will end!”
“But we can’t always let it bully us! Adventurer, can you go to the eastern part of the Holy Light Cemetery, to the Capital of Death, and kill the Skeleton Legion there?”
“The Skeleton Legion is one of Grim Reaper Caesar’s main forces. Destroying them will surely weaken Caesar’s power!”
“Alright, I will not fail.”
Ending the conversation, Zhang Yue received the mission from Liwa.
[Against the Grim Reaper] (Common Mission)
[Difficulty: 440]
[Description: The Holy Light Cemetery is under frequent threat from Grim Reaper Caesar. Professionals are asked to enter the Capital of Death and kill the Skeleton Soldiers there.]
[Mission Progress: Skeleton Warriors 0/300, Skeleton Archers 0/300, Skeleton Mages 0/300, Skeleton Shield Guards 0/300]
[Rewards: Experience Points +, Tomb Defense Value +500, Gold Coin +1, Psionic Energy +, 2-star Necromancer Set Equipment +3, Skill Book +1, Common~Elite Grade Pet Egg +1]
[Time: 3 days]
The difficulty was 150 points higher than the King Grade bounty mission [Zombie Crisis]!
Just as Zhang Yue received the mission.
Turning around, he saw the black-clad Assassin Killer Not So Cold and several members of the Killer Mercenary Group staring intently at him from a distance!
“Do you think you still have a chance to complete the mission?”
Killer Not So Cold glared at Zhang Yue, extending his right hand, and said coldly, “Hand over my Brutal Ring, and maybe I can plead for you in front of my boss.”
“Are you begging me?” Zhang Yue looked at Killer Not So Cold and said nonchalantly, “Why don’t you take it back the same way you lost it?”
“You bastard!” Killer Not So Cold suddenly lunged, flashing from dozens of yards away to right in front of Zhang Yue, his sharp dagger just 0.01 centimeters from Zhang Yue’s eye!
“Do you think I can’t kill you?”
“Hide while you can! Let’s see how long you can last in the Safe Zone!”
With that, Killer Not So Cold and his lackeys entered their exclusive tomb.
Because the Grim Reaper was coming, they were also afraid of Grim Reaper Caesar.
They weren’t worried that Zhang Yue would leave the Holy Light Cemetery during this time.
Because during Grim Reaper Caesar’s invasion, leaving the Holy Light Cemetery meant certain death!
At this moment, most of the Professionals had already taken shelter in the tombs.
Including the NPC gravekeeper.
Only Zhang Yue, seeing that all the Killer Mercenary Group members had entered the tombs, walked out of the Holy Light Cemetery!
“Brother!” Liu Yao, who had appeared behind him at some point, grabbed Zhang Yue and said, “The Grim Reaper is coming, going out now is suicide!”
“You all get into the tombs. Don’t leave the Holy Light Cemetery until I return. If needed, go back to the Second World to develop.”
With that, Zhang Yue left the Holy Light Cemetery without looking back.
Liu Yao and Li Xiaoyao were stunned.
“What is he doing? Does he have a death wish?”
Seeing that Grim Reaper Caesar was about to descend, Liu Yao and Li Xiaoyao hurried into their tombs!
Just as Zhang Yue stepped out of the Holy Light Cemetery.
The next second.
Roar—
With a deafening roar, a giant bat-like monster with wings and a blood-red body flew from the distant sky, sweeping over the Holy Light Cemetery!
A powerful sound wave swept through the entire Holy Light Cemetery!
At the same time, Zhang Yue received two System Notifications:
“Ding~ Your tomb has been attacked by Grim Reaper Caesar, losing 91 defense points! Remaining defense points: 121!”
“Ding~ You have been attacked by Grim Reaper Caesar. The effect of [Heart of the Demon] from [Darkness·Demon’s Eye] has activated, successfully blocking the fatal damage from Grim Reaper Caesar!”
The sound wave continued to sweep over Zhang Yue.
Enduring Grim Reaper Caesar’s repeated fatal attacks, Zhang Yue resolutely headed towards the Capital of Death…
If anyone could see this scene, they would be shocked to the core!
What they didn’t know was that the [Heart of the Demon] effect perfectly countered Grim Reaper Caesar!
No matter how much health you had, if you were within Grim Reaper Caesar’s attack range, it could one-shot kill you.
Thus, the [Heart of the Demon] effect could activate repeatedly, blocking Grim Reaper Caesar’s attacks each time!
Only Zhang Yue knew this “bug.”
In his previous life, when Zhang Yue was exploring the Fourth World, he had inadvertently returned to the Third World and happened to encounter Grim Reaper Caesar’s nighttime attack.
Ignoring the Third World rules, Zhang Yue thought he was doomed, but unexpectedly, he survived Grim Reaper Caesar’s fatal attack!
He later discovered that it was the protection effect of an item with the [Heart of the Demon] attribute he had obtained in the Fourth World, which didn’t exist in the Third World!
The only way to obtain such an item in the Third World was to forge it yourself!
Low-level blacksmiths didn’t have the ability to forge targeted equipment.
Thanks to Liu Yao’s father knowing the Legendary Grade blacksmith: Xiao Jiba!
In his previous life, Zhang Yue’s [Heart of the Demon] came from a purple attribute item, which only blocked three fatal attacks before failing, and Zhang Yue eventually died.
But this golden attribute [Heart of the Demon] could infinitely block fatal damage as long as the wearer was at full health!
Thus, Zhang Yue used [Heart of the Demon] to withstand Grim Reaper Caesar’s attacks, moving further and further away from the Holy Light Cemetery…
After ten minutes, when Grim Reaper Caesar retreated.
The Killer Mercenary Group members immediately emerged from their tombs and sealed off the four entrances to the Holy Light Cemetery again.
They didn’t know that Zhang Yue had already left the Holy Light Cemetery.
