Chapter 1 Dark World, Ancient God's Pagoda

In the dark world, the Ancient God's Pagoda.

On a rocky wasteland, a team of a thousand-plus players was frantically clearing the savage Orcs on the wasteland. However, the number of savage Orcs was extremely high, and the team's progress was exceptionally slow.

From a distance, the team looked like it was being swallowed by a flood of Orcs. Aside from the area occupied by the team, savage Orcs filled everywhere else.

Savage Orc, humanoid creature, High Lord, Level 112, HP 57 million.

Savage Orc Warrior, humanoid creature, Grand Lord, Level 113, HP 140 million.

Savage Orc Captain, humanoid creature, High Grand Lord, Level 114, HP 500 million.

"Elder Nuxin, there are too many monsters pouring out of the ancient city. If we get closer, I'm afraid we'll alert the Orcs on the city walls," a Level 110 Tier 3 Shield Warrior at the front line, struggling to hold off the savage Orcs, said with difficulty.

The previous three ancient cities they had conquered, although difficult, did not have so many monsters. The number was over a hundred thousand.

If the entire team weren't composed of Tier 3 experts, and the monsters were only savage Orcs and savage Orc warriors, they would have been annihilated long ago.

"How could the difficulty increase so much all of a sudden?" Nuxin glanced at the savage Orc captains guarding the city walls in the distance, gritting his teeth as he said, "Everyone, change formation! Clear out these monsters first before we advance!"

Although Level 114 High Grand Lords weren't impossible to deal with, there were over thirty of them on the city walls. If they were let loose outside, they could besiege cities and destroy towns.

Not to mention the large number of savage Orcs and savage Orc warriors all around, it was a level that a thousand-player team simply couldn't handle.

With Nuxin's command, the entire team immediately changed formation, forming a square, with MTs (Main Tanks) and melee classes on the outside specifically to hold back the surging savage Orcs, and ranged and magic classes in the center.

In an instant, the magic classes began chanting spells, and huge magic arrays appeared above the heads of the savage Orcs, numbering over a hundred, completely blotting out the sky.

In less than three or four seconds, these magic arrays were fully formed, and countless fireballs, ice arrows, and lightning bolts fell.

Boom, boom, boom…

For a time, the sound of explosions echoed throughout the rocky wasteland.

Until the last large-scale magic dissipated, the area around the team was completely devastated, filled with the corpses of dead savage Orcs and savage Orc warriors, numbering over four thousand.

"Awesome! As expected, having a team that can wield large-scale destruction magic is great!"

"Tell me about it. Before, our team only had a few people who mastered Tier 3 large-scale destruction magic, and even then, our efficiency when grinding monsters was more than double what it usually was. Now, the entire team has over a hundred people who have mastered Tier 3 large-scale destruction magic. Even those super-forces probably couldn't put together a team like this."

"It's a pity that the monsters inside the Ancient God's Pagoda don't drop anything, just give some experience points. Otherwise, we would be rich."

The experts from various forces in the team were amazed by the scene before them.

Although they knew that Devil's Heart was borrowing people from various forces in the dark world to ensure the conquest of the Ancient God's Pagoda, with Tier 3 experts who mastered large-scale destruction magic being the primary targets for invitation.

In previous battles, they had also used a lot of large-scale destruction magic, but compared to the simultaneous use by hundreds of people this time, the shock was completely different.

This also made everyone once again recognize the importance of magic classes who have mastered large-scale destruction magic.

It has to be said that these people are great weapons in team battles and battlefields.

This one wave alone directly eliminated nearly one-twentieth of the savage Orcs on the wasteland, and greatly saved their stamina and mental strength. For a time, the savage Orcs didn't even dare to approach.

"I really don't know what Dark Rhapsody and Divine Spirit Society are thinking. They only have two hundred-plus people, yet they want to compete with us. We have half as many people who have mastered Tier 3 large-scale destruction magic as their entire team. What are they going to use to compete with us for the Ancient God's Pagoda?" A Tier 3 Ranger looked at the magnificent scene before him and joked in the team chat.

"I guess they didn't expect that our team of over a thousand people would have so many people who have mastered Tier 3 large-scale destruction magic. If they knew, they would have given up obediently long ago," a Tier 3 Elementalist next to him said with a smile.

Dark Rhapsody and Divine Spirit Society are indeed strong in the dark world, but compared to the alliance of various forces in the dark world, the gap is not small, it is completely the difference between heaven and earth.

Moreover, in addition to having hundreds of people who have mastered Tier 3 large-scale destruction magic, the weakest combat level in the entire team is at the Refinement Realm (ru wei).

In addition, the weapons and equipment of the entire team are also top-notch in God's Domain, with the worst being Level 105 Fine-Gold ranked equipment. Such weapons and equipment can only be equipped by a few experts in the super-forces, but everyone in their team has them. How can Dark Rhapsody and Divine Spirit Society compete with them?

"Alright, we need to speed up and clear out these savage Orcs. If these monsters respawn before we kill the Boss, we'll be in trouble!" Nuxin looked at the joking crowd and said with a smile.

He had never taken the Dark Rhapsody and Divine Spirit Society's attempts to conquer the Ancient God's Pagoda seriously from the start.

Even if he had anticipated that Zero Wing would make a move, it would be the same, because neither the Dark Rhapsody nor the two guilds of Zero Wing knew that behind them stood not only the various forces of the dark world, but also the super-forces of the God's Domain Continent.

And all Zero Wing could offer were those auxiliary props and NPCs. Without those things, it could be said that they were not worth mentioning at all.

Finally, after spending more than ten hours, Nuxin and others finally cleared out the army of savage Orcs on the wasteland and in the ancient city, leaving only the final Boss and some guardian monsters guarding under the central ancient pagoda in the entire ancient city.

Savage Orc King, humanoid creature, Archaic Species, Legendary, Level 114, HP 3500 million.

Savage Orc Guard, humanoid creature, Specialized High Grand Lord, Level 114, HP 600 million.

The appearance of a Tier 4 Archaic Species Legendary Boss and eight Specialized High Grand Lords made Nuxin and the others gasp.

Tier 4 Legendary Bosses are already very difficult to deal with, because whether it is the increase in attributes or the combat level, there is a clear improvement, and the Archaic Species makes the attributes soar.

Specialized monsters will be strengthened in one aspect, that is, they have a level beyond their own rank in one aspect. The combat power of Specialized High Grand Lords can be said to be not much worse than Tier 4 Legendary monsters.

Eight monsters whose combat power is not inferior to Tier 4 Legendary monsters, plus the Boss, which is nine Legendary combat powers, it can be said that there is no problem in destroying a small city.

"Elder Nuxin, the distance between the Boss and the guard monsters is too close. If we move one, I'm afraid all the monsters will move together." A Level 110 Tier 3 Assassin from Overlord Heaven frowned and said.

"It seems that we can only kill them together, but after the battle starts, lure away the eight small monsters as soon as possible, don't let the eight small monsters affect the Boss, give priority to killing these small monsters with not much HP, and then deal with the Boss!" Nuxin thought for a while and said.

Everyone nodded in agreement. Although there are many small monsters, there are also thousands of them on their side. It is no problem to separate a part to hold back the Boss, but it will take a lot of time.

With Nuxin's words, everyone acted one by one.

Just as the team's MTs were about to attract the Boss and the eight small monsters, a system notification suddenly sounded in everyone's ears.

Ancient God's Pagoda Area System Announcement: A team of players has successfully completed the trial of the first floor of the Ancient God's Pagoda, and the teleportation magic array of the first floor of the Ancient God's Pagoda has been unlocked.

Ancient God's Pagoda Area System Announcement: A team of players has successfully completed the trial of the first floor of the Ancient God's Pagoda. All players on the first floor of the Ancient God's Pagoda will be automatically teleported out of the first floor of the Ancient God's Pagoda in three minutes. Please prepare in advance.

"This… how is this possible?!"

As the system notification sounded, the entire area in front of the central ancient pagoda fell silent…
