Late at night.
Outside the Gate of Hell, numerous Professionals were still gathered.
They tried various methods to force their way through the Gate of Hell, but all ended in failure.
Upon arriving at the Gate of Hell, Ouyang Ling’er pondered, “I heard this Gate of Hell has been upgraded. Except for the sole host or those authorized by the host, no one can enter.”
“Guild Leader, why did you bring us here? We can’t get in anyway.”
Zhang Yue raised the Death’s Eye and, by consuming 40% of the demon blood purity, authorized Lin Tian, Wu Haotian, Ning Tiantian, and Ouyang Ling’er one by one.
Then he said to Ouyang Ling’er, “I am the host.”
With that, Zhang Yue stepped into the Gate of Hell.
“Ding~ Death’s Eye host, entry to the Gate of Hell permitted!”
Seeing Zhang Yue disappear into the Gate of Hell, the scattered Professionals outside were all stunned.
“Holy crap! The host of the Gate of Hell is Zero?”
At this moment, Ouyang Ling’er sighed, “If I had known, I would have asked the master to authorize me earlier!”
A passerby mocked, “Hah, is the master yours? You think he’ll authorize you just because you ask? Who do you think you are?”
“Bingo!” Ouyang Ling’er smiled happily, “The master is indeed mine!”
With that, Ouyang Ling’er, Lin Tian, and the others, as authorized individuals, followed Zhang Yue into the Gate of Hell.
Leaving behind a group of bewildered onlookers.
Upon entering the Gate of Hell, the scene they saw was vastly different from before.
What met their eyes was a city covered in a blood-red glow, resembling hell itself!
Blood-red demons, as if skinned, roamed the city.
At the same time, a voice suddenly echoed in their ears:
“The Grim Reaper Tila once led the Blood Demon Legion to sweep through this city until they were defeated by the human guards of Dawn Sanctuary. Tila’s body was divided into seven parts, scattered throughout this Hell City, and the Blood Demon Legion was sealed here.”
Following the voice, they saw a human soldier in black armor appear in their sight.
Before Zhang Yue and the others could speak, the soldier introduced himself first, “My name is Kai, the leader of the human guards who fought against the Grim Reaper back then, and the only survivor.”
“The Grim Reaper, Tila?” Wu Haotian mused, “Then, that Hell Envoy Biggs guarding the gate earlier, could he be just a subordinate of this Grim Reaper?”
“Yes.” Kai said solemnly, “The Hell Envoy is under the command of the Grim Reaper.”
Ouyang Ling’er exclaimed, “A subordinate is already a Level 40, 5-star BOSS, then the Grim Reaper must be a 6-star or higher BOSS?”
Kai, seeing the Death’s Eye in Zhang Yue’s hand, understood that he was the only one who could truly defeat the Grim Reaper. He said to Zhang Yue, “The Death’s Eye in your hand is transformed from the eye of the Grim Reaper. The other six parts of the Grim Reaper’s body are scattered in this city. Find them, revive the Grim Reaper, and kill him permanently to seal the Gate of Hell forever!”
As soon as Kai finished speaking, a system notification sounded in Zhang Yue’s ear—
“Ding~ Congratulations on triggering the special equipment [Death’s Eye] exclusive unique hidden quest [Death Terminator]. Do you accept?”
So this was the true exclusive hidden event of [Death’s Eye]!
Without hesitation, Zhang Yue accepted the quest.
[Death Terminator] (Unique Hidden Quest)
[Difficulty: 700]
[Description: The Grim Reaper Tila, defeated by the human guards, is not truly dead. Follow the guidance of the Death’s Eye to find the other six parts of the Grim Reaper’s body in Hell City, revive the Grim Reaper, and kill him permanently.]
[Quest Progress: 0/1 (Grim Reaper Tila)]
[Quest Time: 3 days]
[Quest Rewards: Experience Points +3,000,000, Gold Coins +500, Psionic Energy +1,000,000, Rare Skill Book +1, Rare Pet Egg +5, Grim Reaper Set (excluding the Death’s Eye, includes the other six pieces, and is the only set) +1]
[Failure Penalty: Level -3, Demon·Death’s Eye equipment recovery]
The quest rewards were indeed tempting!
Not to mention, 500 Gold Coins equaled a solid three million in cash!
One million Psionic Energy combined with a ten-thousand-fold increase, according to the 5% extraction rate of the Demon Contract, could yield five billion Psionic Energy, allowing Lin Tian and the others to ascend comprehensively!
Moreover, the five Rare Pet Eggs, combined with the five Rare Pets Zhang Yue had accumulated through Necromantic Harvest, could evolve the Dark Skeleton King or the Apocalyptic Black Dragon from Rare Grade to Epic Grade!
Additionally, as expected, the hidden event of the Death’s Eye would allow Zhang Yue to obtain the remaining pieces of the Grim Reaper Set, and it was the only set in existence!
Meaning: in the entire Otherworld, there was only one Grim Reaper Set!
However, the failure penalty was quite severe.
Losing three levels was one thing, but they even wanted to recover Zhang Yue’s equipment!
Of course, for Zhang Yue, failure was not an option.
Closing the quest interface, Zhang Yue began to execute the quest.
At this moment, the [Demon·Death’s Eye] in his hand emitted a red glow, seemingly guiding Zhang Yue.
Following the guidance of the Death’s Eye, Zhang Yue and his team headed towards the southeast of Hell City.
Along the way, Level 40 [Demons] continuously emerged to obstruct them.
For Zhang Yue, whose strength could sweep through the entire Fifth World, these Level 40 demons, even though they were top-tier monsters, were like tofu, easily sliced apart by him.
Thus, a series of battle notifications echoed in his ears:
“Ding~ You killed a Level 40 demon, Experience Points +400 (five-person team base 50% + map bonus 30%), Psionic Energy +200 (map bonus 400%)!”
“Ding~ You killed a Level 40 demon, Experience Points +400, Psionic Energy +200!”
“Ding…”
At this moment, Ouyang Ling’er noticed something and exclaimed, “The experience points for killing monsters here are 30% higher than outside, and the Psionic Energy gain is five times higher!”
Picking up on Ouyang Ling’er’s words, Wu Haotian said, “Why do you think only those authorized by the host can enter?”
Not only that.
The demons inside the Gate of Hell had a much higher drop rate for Copper Coins, equipment, and materials compared to other monsters of the same level outside!
Moreover, they could directly drop the extremely rare 4-star Dark Set equipment!
Yes, the same Dark Set worn by the Skeleton King and the Apocalyptic Black Dragon.
This generous drop rate excited Wu Haotian and the others, “Holy crap! Common monsters dropping 4-star sets? We’re rich!”
Their enthusiasm soared instantly.
As for Zhang Yue.
After accumulating kills of several demons, suddenly, the treasure ring [Demon Contract] on his hand emitted a golden glow.
At the same time, a pleasant system notification descended from the sky—
“Ding~ Congratulations on completing the [Demon Contract] exclusive upgrade quest. Your treasure [Demon Contract] has been upgraded from Common Grade to Elite Grade!”
“Ding~ The [Demon Contract] now has the enhanced effect [Energy Contract]! And has gained a new effect [Experience Contract]!”
“Ding~ The exclusive upgrade quest for the [Demon Contract] from Elite Grade to Rare Grade has been unlocked. Please click to view!”
