Under the command of the Infinity Sword Saint, over thirty Professionals from the Infinity Guild picked up their weapons and charged at the Night Lord!
Their top-tier golden equipment made up for the six-level gap, allowing these Level 32 Professionals to handle the Level 38 Night Lord with ease!
While the guild members were united in their assault against the Night Lord, the Infinity Sword Saint bent down on the open ground, picking up scattered silver coins and potions.
Thinking that Zhang Yue had already been killed by the Night Lord, and that once he took down the Night Lord and returned to kill some Night Ghouls, he could be the first to clear this hidden Secret Realm and obtain the super rare Secret Realm Scroll.
A smug smile spread across the Infinity Sword Saint’s face.
“I really have to thank you for painstakingly refining the Golden Secret Order and helping me activate this hidden Secret Realm!”
“Don’t worry, the rewards from this Secret Realm won’t go to waste. I’ll take care of them for you, haha!”
Just as the Infinity Sword Saint was basking in his triumph.
Suddenly, a map announcement descended from the sky—
“Ding~ All Professionals within the Night Fortress Secret Realm, please note: Due to the Golden Secret Order holder [Zero] changing the Secret Realm permissions: the free death revival mechanism is immediately canceled, Return Scrolls cannot be used within the Secret Realm, mid-exit from the Secret Realm is not allowed, killing White Name Professionals within the Secret Realm will not increase Sin value, and the Secret Realm entrance and exit are now closed!”
“What?!”
The sudden map announcement shocked the Infinity Sword Saint: “Isn’t it only possible to change permissions within the Secret Realm? Isn’t he already dead? How can he still change the permissions?”
While the Infinity Sword Saint was still in disbelief.
Whoosh!
Centered around the Night Lord, a sixty-meter diameter dark red barrier materialized around him.
The next second.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Hundreds of dark red death rays descended from the sky, covering the barrier’s range, inflicting continuous damage of around 1300-1500 points on the dozen or so Infinity Guild Warriors, Knights, and Assassins within it.
In an instant, the dozen or so Infinity Guild Professionals enveloped by [Hell Judgment] were one-shot killed before they could even react!
After they died, their bodies turned into white light, which was completely absorbed by the Night Lord’s gaping maw.
The Infinity Sword Saint, who hadn’t yet acted, immediately realized what was happening and shouted, “That guy isn’t dead! He’s still here!”
“Everyone, be careful!”
Just as he finished speaking.
Boom boom boom boom!
Heavenly Fire Scorches the Plains!
Thunderous Might!
Frozen Wasteland!
Divine Fire Catastrophe!
One S-rank skill after another descended from the sky, fiercely bombarding the Infinity Guild Professionals on the field, instantly killing four more with their high burst damage of five to six thousand points!
Following closely, Zhang Yue, draped in a black cloak and holding the Necromancer’s Staff, with an icy expression akin to the Grim Reaper, emerged from the darkness on the right!
“This is a trap! He faked his death to lure us in!”
Understanding the situation, the Infinity Sword Saint immediately shouted, “Retreat!”
He knew that with the strength of his group, they stood no chance against Zhang Yue.
Risking their lives for a Lord monster they might not even be able to defeat wasn’t worth it!
But just as the Infinity Sword Saint turned around, he saw a familiar figure blocking his path.
Dressed in fiery armor, with a flaming spear resting on his shoulders, the Flame Knight Wu Haotian stared mockingly at the terrified Infinity Sword Saint and said with a smile, “Little Sword, where do you think you’re going?”
“Wu Haotian? What are you doing here!”
In his surprise, the Infinity Sword Saint seemed to understand something and hastily said to Wu Haotian, “We used to be colleagues, you wouldn’t want to kill me, would you?”
“Oh, you remember we’re colleagues?” Wu Haotian said calmly, “Did you think about that when you paid someone to kill me?”
Clang!
Wu Haotian planted his spear into the ground and said to the Infinity Sword Saint, “Enough talk. If you want to run, you’ll have to step over my dead body!”
The Infinity Sword Saint’s eyes turned cold: “You want to die? I’ll grant your wish!”
With that, the Infinity Sword Saint raised his longsword and charged at Wu Haotian!
The Holy Sword Warrior versus the Flame Knight, both Rare Grade professions, were evenly matched.
With the Elite Grade Holy Light Priest Ning Tiantian healing from behind, the Infinity Sword Saint and two Infinity Guild Assassins couldn’t even make a dent in Wu Haotian!
Wu Haotian moved his spear and directly counter-killed one of the Assassins: “How dare you attack your superior? Bold!”
At this moment, the Infinity Sword Saint suddenly launched a fierce attack on Wu Haotian, while the other Assassin took the opportunity to stealthily approach Ning Tiantian!
Whoosh!
Facing the sudden attack from the Infinity Guild Assassin, Ning Tiantian widened her eyes, thinking she was about to be killed.
Roar!
A scorching dragon flame descended from the sky, instantly engulfing the Infinity Assassin.
With a massive damage of over 3400 points, the Assassin was one-shot killed on the spot!
When Ning Tiantian opened her eyes, she saw Zhang Yue’s Apocalyptic Black Dragon flying overhead, giving her a strong sense of security!
On the other side, the Infinity Sword Saint couldn’t break through Wu Haotian’s defense and was instead knocked to the ground by Wu Haotian’s Flame Shield after a few rounds!
Following closely, the Apocalyptic Black Dragon unleashed an S-rank Apocalyptic Dragon Breath, covering the Infinity Sword Saint and easily killing him.
Meanwhile, Zhang Yue had already wiped out the remaining Infinity Guild members, leaving none alive!
All the white light from the dead bodies was absorbed by the Night Lord.
After consuming over thirty people, the Night Lord’s body began to emit bursts of red light!
“Is it… going berserk?” Wu Haotian, seeing this from behind, was somewhat surprised.
In contrast, Zhang Yue remained calm, as if the Night Lord’s berserk state was within his expectations.
[Map Announcement] (Night Fortress): Ding~ All Professionals within the Night Fortress Secret Realm, please note: The Night Lord has gone berserk and evolved into a Level 38 4-star BOSS—Eternal Night Monarch!”
As the system notification ended, the Night Lord’s size grew several times larger in an exaggerated manner!
Roar!
A deafening roar echoed through the Night Fortress!
Zhang Yue stared at the BOSS and, without a word, launched his attack!
The Dark Skeleton King raised its sword and charged, while the Apocalyptic Black Dragon approached from the sky.
Zhang Yue wielded the Necromancer’s Staff, unleashing a barrage of attacks!
Boom boom boom boom!
One S-rank skill after another landed on the Eternal Night Monarch, causing around three thousand damage points each!
Although both were 4-star BOSSes, the Eternal Night Monarch, being three levels higher than the Dark Dragon, was significantly stronger as a BOSS in the Fifth World compared to one in the Fourth World!
Fortunately, the Eternal Night Monarch only had about thirty percent, roughly sixty thousand, of its health remaining.
It clearly couldn’t withstand Zhang Yue’s relentless magical bombardment!
With the assistance of the Rare Grade pets, the Dark Skeleton King and the Apocalyptic Black Dragon.
Zhang Yue’s [Night Shadow Cloak], which could trigger [Shadow] every five seconds, also helped the Skeleton King withstand the Eternal Night Monarch’s attacks, greatly enhancing its tanking ability.
Before Wu Haotian and Ning Tiantian even had a chance to act, Zhang Yue had already weakened the BOSS significantly!
With just one point of health remaining, Zhang Yue instructed Wu Haotian to deliver the final blow.
As the activator of the hidden Secret Realm, Zhang Yue couldn’t receive the Secret Realm Scroll reward for the first clear.
“Ding~ Congratulations on participating in the kill of [Eternal Night Monarch Ray Jaden], clearing the Night Fortress Secret Realm. Based on your overall performance score, you have received the highest tier basic clear reward: Experience Points +, Equipment [Eternal Night Legguards] +1, Gold Coins +2, Psionic Energy +w!”
“Ding~ Congratulations on participating in the kill of [Eternal Night Monarch Ray Jaden], Experience Points +(80%), Psionic Energy +3800w!”
At this moment, seeing Zhang Yue solo a 4-star BOSS while he only got the final blow, Wu Haotian couldn’t help but sigh again, “He’s really a monster.”
Meanwhile, Zhang Yue approached the Eternal Night Monarch’s corpse and picked up a skill book from the pile of loot.
“As expected, the drop rate is higher with a hidden and berserk state.”
“A book dropped?” Wu Haotian couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw the book in Zhang Yue’s hand.
However, seeing Zhang Yue’s calm expression, as if the book drop was within his expectations.
Wu Haotian seemed to understand something and thoughtfully said, “So from the beginning, you didn’t set the Secret Realm entrance to close because you wanted the Infinity members to come in, then use the Fifth World’s monster’s growth characteristic of consuming humans to feed the Night Lord, making it go berserk and evolve into a BOSS, thus greatly increasing the book drop rate…”
Holding the book, Zhang Yue gave Wu Haotian a meaningful look and smiled, sending chills down Wu Haotian’s spine, “You know too much.”
For some reason, Wu Haotian suddenly felt grateful that he didn’t stay in the Infinity Guild and become Zhang Yue’s enemy…
