Black fog filled the entire world.
Intense explosions and the howling wind continued on without end.
Several powerful Professionists had surrounded the Apocalyptic monster, kiting it while unleashing their attacks.
Doong! Doong! Doong!
With each step, the monster caused the ground to tremble.
It was very fast, almost catching up to Gu Qing Shan several times, but it would always be easily sent flying back by a sword.
「 It seems intent on killing you 」the Earth sword spoke while vibrating.
“Don’t keep using [Sanctuary] too much, let it get a bit closer and give it some hope, otherwise, it will chase after others” Gu Qing Shan sent his voice.
「 Got it, be careful 」the Earth sword moved away.
Gu Qing Shan triggered his sword seal.
With a sharp howling of the wind, the Heaven sword unleashed nine consecutive gigantic sword phantoms that struck the monster’s body one after another.
——[Heaven’s Choice]!
The monster’s body created from flames was continuously being slashed apart, dripping a large amount of magma.
「 You… despicable… 」
The monster howled and staggered to chase after him.
Moon Song was keeping a constant distance behind it while moving her hands in a blurred motion, instantly emptying her quiver within one mere breath’s worth of time before immediately changing it out.
Blow dart user Hakuru seamlessly replaced her and silently aimed his blow dart at the Apocalyptic monster.
Puu——-
A sharp wooden dart flew across the sky and pierced into the Apocalyptic monster’s behind.
Ba-shik!
A huge amount of magma fell everywhere, but instead of splattering on the ground, they became completely doused in mid-air and dropped down like rocks.
The blow dart contained the power of Piercing, Shattering, and Death, one of the most powerful means of offense among the mercenaries, which would always deal considerable damage whenever it struck the enemy.
The monster uttered a long resounding howl.
「 Who is behind me? I will find you and rip you apart! 」
It instantly gave up on trying to chase Gu Qing Shan and angrily moved to find Hakuru while covering its butt.
While retreating, Hakuru glanced at Gu Qing Shan.
Only to see Gu Qing Shan standing indifferently in the air.
Hakuru silently clenched his teeth.
My defenses are the weakest, so I need others to help me draw the heat away.
——this sword cultivator had promised that when I unleash my attack, the monster would definitely not chase after me.
But even now, he isn’t doing anything at all.
Was that just a lie?
While Hakuru was thinking, something suddenly changed.
Without any warnings, the Apocalyptic monster abruptly stopped.
It stood still briefly in thought before declaring with a resounding voice: 「 No, I should kill your Deity first. That way, you won’t even think about fighting any longer! 」
The Apocalyptic monster turned around and attacked Gu Qing Shan again.
Hakuru was surprised.
Why did the monster suddenly change its mind?
Oong——–
Four swords flashed in the sky like flexible streams of water, continuously encircling the monster.
Sword phantoms flashed over and over, each time slashing the monster’s body open.
The Apocalyptic monster howled and continued to endure the pain as it gave chase faster.
Gu Qing Shan casually retreated bit by bit with his hands clasped behind his back, grasping a mass of black flames.
Like a baseball, he threw the mass of black flames forward.
Boom———-
Like a meteor, the black flames crashed into the Apocalyptic monster’s body and produced a sky-high pillar of fire.
Doong! Doong! Doong!
The Apocalyptic monster was forced to take a few steps back before collapsing to the ground.
Bottle Caster Hei Suo exclaimed in fear:
“Not good, your black flames’ destructiveness was too great, I won’t be able to uphold the entire fog world for too long!”
Everyone became anxious and urged themselves to attack even faster.
Once the fog faded away, whoever the Apocalyptic monster saw would immediately die!
Looking down at the collapsed Apocalyptic monster, Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
——-has my power of Death grown to this degree?
Su Xue Er sent me to the future not only for the Key of the Past to regain its power, but to also give my power of Death an unprecedented boost.
——-there were almost no living beings remaining in the future!
He took out another mass of black flames from the void of space.
“Ten seconds left!” Hei Suo shouted.
Everyone turned to Gu Qing Shan.
Flee? Or continue?
Gu Qing Shan glanced at the monster and ordered: “Everyone, stop attacking!”
He threw the flames of Death in his hand forward, then waved his hand to grasp the Earth sword.
“Earth sword, use [Sanctuary], I’ll use a Secret Art”
「 Got it 」the Earth sword replied with a clear voice.
As the flames struck the monster, it once again created a sky-high pillar of fire.
The ground below was deeply sunken down as it was melted into liquid magma by the black flames, falling deeper into the ground along with the Apocalyptic monster.
Gu Qing Shan clenched his sword tightly and pointed his sword towards the monster.
——-Secret Art, [Tsunami]!
——-Earth sword, [Sanctuary]!
Countless sword phantoms manifested in the sky before gathering into a single howling river of light.
This strike’s power was equivalent to 1001 times that of the Apocalyptic monster’s weight, each of the sword phantoms contained enough strength to send it flying.
But now, all of the sword phantoms had gathered into a tsunami that rushed towards the ground like a raging river.
It was completely unstoppable!
Booooom————
The monster was enveloped completely by the thunderous explosions.
The ground was broken through by this strike as cracks formed in every direction and spread.
The underground magma surged back up.
The mountain and land was trembling from the impact!
As the wind continued to sweep, Gu Qing Shan’s gaze turned towards the void of space in front of himself.
Lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:
[You’ve eliminated the Apocalyptic monster: Perishing Light Life Extinguisher]
[You’ve obtained 19,999 Soul Points]
Gu Qing Shan was surprised and hurriedly asked: “Why did it not even give 20,000?”
The War God UI replied: [For a mortal, this Apocalyptic monster is indeed very powerful, but what kind of identity do you think you currently possess? And what level of strength?]
200 Soul Points was mercilessly deducted.
Gu Qing Shan thought briefly and couldn’t help but sigh.
——-I can only earn Soul Points by slaying monsters stronger than myself.
Since I’ve just skyrocketed in strength, it wasn’t quite as difficult for me to kill these monsters, and so I wouldn’t be able to earn Soul Points too easily either.
That one didn’t even give me 20,000 Soul Points, so how am I supposed to summon the colorful rooster?
Seems like I’ll have to find another monster to kill.
Gu Qing Shan shook his head.
He suddenly realized something out of the ordinary.
It was too silent on the ground.
All the Professionists had gathered around the crater to look down.
“It’s been broken apart” Moon Song loudly reported.
Gu Qing Shan didn’t answer her and instead shifted his body to appear in front of Safaya, shielding her.
“What’s going on here?” Gu Qing Shan drew his sword and tried asking.
“I don’t know. I summoned it, but it isn’t moving” Safaya nervously answered.
A layer of dark water vapor as thick as a wall was right in front of them, from which a ferocious presence of death continuously radiated.
“What did you try to summon?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
He tried using inner sight to search through the fog of the River of Death’s water, but his inner sight couldn’t penetrate it at all.
Safaya explained in detail: “I’ve always wanted to summon the legendary Death Dragon as it was one of the most mysterious beings within the River of Death. The number of times it had appeared in history could be counted on one hand, thus becoming the dream summoning target for all Necromancers—– that’s why I had borrowed your power earlier to summon it!”
Dragon.
She summoned a dragon.
As soon as Gu Qing Shan heard the word ‘dragon’, he felt his head hurt.
Isn’t a living dragon hard to deal with enough?
Why did you have to summon a dead dragon as well?
This dragon is now hiding behind a bunch of water vapor, refusing to even show its face—— who knows what it’s thinking about!
Safaya continued: “As soon as it appeared, it immediately disappeared into the water vapor, refusing to leave no matter how hard I tried to summon it”
“I understand” Gu Qing Shan nodded.
——I can’t really blame Safaya for this since I provided her with the power of Death.
Gu Qing Shan took a deep breath and said: “Stay here and wait, do not go in. The rest of you as well, you’re all forbidden to enter”
“Understood”
As the Professionists saw his expression, they realized the severity of the situation and quickly became cautious.
Gu Qing Shan wielded the twin swords Heaven and Earth, briefly pondered, then took out a set of armor from the Bramble Bird ring, and further put on a mask to defend against Mysticism before he entered the fog.
As soon as he enter the water vapor, lines of glowing text immediately appeared on the War God UI:
[Being affected by water from the River of Death, there’s a high probability of you falling off the Realm of Life]
[As you are the Death God, you’ve temporarily become immune to the River of Death’s Causality power]
Skimming through it, Gu Qing Shan’s expression became even more solemn.
No living person would be able to enter the water vapor.
—–the most mysterious legendary Death Dragon, not even its summoner could see it, furthermore, it rejects all living beings from approaching it.
And it refuses to fight.
After the fight was over, it also didn’t return to the River of Death.
Truly… strange.
Gu Qing Shan narrowed his eyes and slowly advanced with his sword at the ready.
A few moments later, a gigantic and blurry figure could be seen deep within the water vapor.
Gu Qing Shan paused briefly before heading towards it.
He was getting increasingly closer to the figure.
And then he finally saw it clearly.
Gu Qing Shan let go of his swords and looked at the other party, unsure of what to say.
He was looking at a fatty——
A huge fatty.
The fatty had a pair of horns on their head while holding up a sign.
Four large words were written on the sign:
[Oppose violence, love peace]
