Chapter 1 A Lock-Dragon Cannon

The Lock-Dragon Cannon's strike instantly caused everyone in Seven Sins Flower to gasp.

The previous cannon fire had only left small pits on the ice, but this attack evaporated the entire ice layer with a single shot. Moreover, the attack speed was at least twice as fast as before, and the coverage area was even more exaggerated.

Even without such speed, such a large coverage area made dodging extremely difficult.

"What level is that speedboat?" The black-clad ranger leading the group asked with a grim expression.

He had used Xuan-Iron grade speedboats countless times and knew very well that their attacks didn't possess such speed and power.

Such cannon fire would pose an even greater threat as they closed the distance.

They had initially thought this was just a small game to relieve boredom, but they hadn't expected to encounter such a tough opponent.

On the other hand, Jun Wuchang and the others from the Freedom Alliance were overjoyed.

"Hahaha, a Mithril-grade speedboat is indeed powerful! That one shot stunned them!"

"Let's see if they dare to come any closer!"

...

The members of the Freedom Alliance laughed as they watched Seven Sins Flower remain motionless for a long time, deeply impressed by the deterrent effect Shi Feng had displayed.

"This Ye Feng is incredibly resourceful!" Jun Wuchang exclaimed inwardly, looking at the shattered ice surface.

He had to admit that Shi Feng was excellent at calculations. When those people charged to the 200-yard mark, they were spread out, so even with dense cannon fire, they could only kill one person at a time. However, when they reached the 100-yard mark, their formation tightened slightly. Combined with the short distance, they had little time to react, resulting in six casualties with a single strike. Firing from the 200-yard mark would not have had such a shocking effect.

After this attack, their opponents would undoubtedly be very wary of them and likely wouldn't continue the assault.

However, just as Jun Wuchang finished his thought, he saw a hint of excited smiles on the faces of the Seven Sins Flower members across the way.

"Brother Chen, they're so difficult to deal with. Can we finally use that move now?" A level 42 cold assassin said to the black-clad ranger with a smile, showing no concern for the fallen comrades.

"Alright, since they're forcing our hand," the black-clad ranger nodded helplessly, seeing the enthusiasm of the others. "But remember, don't let a single one of them escape, not even their souls."

"Don't worry, Brother Chen. Even if you didn't say it, we wouldn't waste their souls," the others assured, licking their lips as they looked at Jun Wuchang and his group.

This scene sent chills down the spines of the Freedom Alliance members.

They could clearly feel that these players weren't looking at them as enemies, but as food...

After receiving the black-clad ranger's approval, the members of Seven Sins Flower suddenly let out painful wails. Their entire bodies were enveloped in black aura. In just a moment, they transformed into a new appearance.

Although they wore the same weapons and equipment, their skin turned dark black, their eyes glowed with blood-red light, they grew curved horns on their foreheads, and a pair of jet-black bat wings fluttered on their backs. In addition, they also had a black tail that swayed back and forth. They were no longer human.

"What exactly are they?" Jun Wuchang asked in a daze, watching the sudden transformation of the Seven Sins Flower members.

At this moment, not only Jun Wuchang, but the entire Freedom Alliance was stunned.

Players could actually transform!

This was definitely the first time they had seen such a thing since entering God's Domain.

If it was just a transformation, it wouldn't be truly frightening. What was truly terrifying was the sense of oppression emanating from the Seven Sins Flower members. It was as if they were completely different people.

If they were a group of ferocious beasts before, now they were a group of inhuman monsters, as if each one was a humanoid Lord-ranked monster. The black-clad ranger leading them exuded an even stronger aura, giving off the feeling that a higher life form was looking down on them.

The only difference between the black-clad ranger and the other transformed players was that he had two pairs of wings, but that difference was like the difference between a Grand Lord and a Lord.

"Charge! Leave no one alive!" The black-clad ranger pointed at Shi Feng and the others, shouting sharply.

The members of Seven Sins Flower flapped their wings and actually flew into the air. It wasn't exactly flying, but they could glide a certain distance above the ground, and their speed was much faster than running, making them difficult to hit with the Lock-Dragon Cannon.

"Are they really players?" Lan Xin asked, feeling somewhat fearful.

She had noticed that the life values displayed by these people had changed dramatically. From the original 20,000 plus, they had now jumped to over 100,000. The life value of the ranger leading them was as high as 170,000...

"No wonder they kill on sight. So they've all transformed into demons," Shi Feng said, frowning as he watched the members of Seven Sins Flower fly toward them.

In God's Domain, players weren't limited to the Human race. They could also transform into demons, but doing so would mean abandoning humanity.

After becoming a demon, a player's strength would increase significantly, roughly by half a tier. The so-called half a tier meant that all attributes except endurance would increase by about 15%, depending on the player's class. Their life value would also increase dramatically. Honestly, it couldn't compare to burst skills. The reason it was called half a tier was because their life level had increased, giving their physical fitness a significant boost of about 15%.

However, while such an increase was powerful, becoming a demon also required paying a price.

First, they would become enemies with all Humans, whether players or NPCs. If they were caught by NPCs, the consequences would be unimaginable. If they were caught by Human players and handed over to NPCs, the players would receive a generous reward.

Second, they would need to hunt players' souls regularly, or they would become weak. However, the more and stronger souls they hunted, the stronger they could become.

Like the black-clad ranger leading them, he had advanced from a low-level demon to a high-level demon because he had devoured many souls, so the increase in strength after the transformation was even greater.

He clearly had the physical attributes of a near Tier 2 player.

Any player whose soul was devoured would be unable to log in for at least a day, and they would lose at least three levels...

Third, it would become very difficult to advance in rank, because the demon's rank advancement mechanism was different from that of Humans.

Ordinary guilds would never allow their members to do this, because it would not be conducive to guild development. Only non-guild organizations like Seven Sins Flower would do such a thing.

The fourth and most fatal point was that the death penalty was even heavier. If they were killed once, they would not only lose three or more levels, but they would also be unable to log in for at least two or three days, and their demon level would also drop by one level, making it impossible to advance to the next level in the short term.

Because of this, there were not many players who wanted to transform into demons.

"Anyone here who can use burst skills, use them now! If not, use Tier 2 magic scrolls to assist in the attack!" At this time, only Shi Feng could remain calm.

"Futile struggles. Just become our food!" The black-clad ranger said disdainfully, watching the others prepare for a desperate fight.

Before long, the members of Seven Sins Flower had charged in front of Jun Wuchang and the others.

The members of Seven Sins Flower already had higher skill levels. Now that their attributes and physical fitness were improved, and they were fewer in number, in just a few exchanges, more than a dozen members of the Freedom Alliance had been killed, while none of the Seven Sins Flower members were injured.

On the Swift Dragon Speedboat, a level 42 berserker suddenly charged towards Shi Feng and brought down his battle axe.

Clang!

As a crisp sound echoed, the transformed level 42 berserker flew out like a cannonball for more than ten yards...
