Chapter 493: Chapter 267 Dragon-slaying Siege Crossbow, Destruction of the Demon Sealing Prohibition_2
Seeing that everyone was almost ready, Lin Xun began the next Chapter of the game.
[You have entered the secret Chapter.]
[Chapter 8715, The Seven Star Guardians!]
[The powerful Wandering Soul awakens beside the Demon Suppression Stele...]
[You possess the ’Shell’ of the ’President of the Direct View Association’ who thirsts for knowledge!]
[Touching the ancient Demon Suppression Stele, you spread your divine consciousness in all directions, calling for the distant Six Star Lords...]
[The apostle ’Star Glass’ has responded to your summon!]
[The apostle ’Little White Deer’ has responded to your summon!]
[...]
[The six diversely styled mighty lords of the stars respond to you and arrive!]
[The great Demon Suppression Stele suddenly cracks open, through a man-wide fissure, you see the core of imprisoning the Heavenly Demon.]
[The Seal Core is a jade seal brimming with radiant light and divine glow.]
[Great apostle, will you crush the jade Seal and let the subsequent three waves of Heavenly Demons surge in together?]
[Please note that if you destroy the jade Seal, the difficulty of this Chapter will be significantly increased. Correspondingly, the reward for deciphering the Chapter will also increase]
[Please make your choice wisely...]
"Lin Xun, why haven’t we started yet?"
Shangguan Yu, who sat across the conference table, was already at the entrance of the Cloud Bridge. He could not help but ask when the Heavenly Demon hadn’t appeared yet.
Lin Xun told everyone about the new development. As experienced apostles, they immediately understood what the given text hinted at.
"This difficulty option must have come up because we defeated the Heavenly Demon so quickly yesterday."
The leader of the Jinling Supervision Group, Du Cheng, analyzed as he pushed his glasses up his nose.
Li Xingyue said: "I agree, but if we break the seal, we will face an attack from three waves of Heavenly Demons at once. An increase in the number of demons implies a direct increase in the difficulty of the Chapter..."
Everyone looked at Lin Xun. He was the master of this secret Chapter, and the strongest among the Seven Star Lords. Whether to increase the difficulty or not solely depends on Lin Xun.
"Increase the difficulty if that’s the case. Frankly, the monsters we encountered yesterday were too weak. It wasn’t much of a challenge!"
Wang Zong took the lead in expressing his opinion, then Shangguan Yu and Yin Linlin also showed their support.
"It’s not as simple as merely raising the difficulty. The game only shows that the three waves of Heavenly Demons will come together today, but it doesn’t clearly state what will happen tomorrow." Li Xingyue expressed a different opinion, "Considering the previous behavior of the game, we should think of the worst-case scenario... There’s a possibility that while we are guarding the Immortal Palaces tomorrow, the three waves of Heavenly Demons will attack together."
"The last three waves of Heavenly Demons attacking together represents a level of difficulty that goes without saying..."
Li Xingyue means to proceed with caution, as per the current difficulty level, conquering the Chapter is almost guaranteed.
Randomly increasing difficulty is not a cautious approach, and not getting the final reward may lead to punishment in the game.
His female superior’s remarks got Du Cheng nodding in agreement. Clearly, they both were of the same conservative view.
"I listen to you."
Lu Caiyi, who had stayed silent till now, expressed the most decisive opinion.
Lin Xun, of course, had intended to increase the difficulty. As he was accustomed to high-difficulty tortures, suddenly entering a regular difficulty session felt like a max-level veteran bullying beginners.
Though it was exciting, it felt like something was missing.
He made up his mind quickly, "I’ve decided to raise the difficulty. If any of you feel it’s too much, ask for help immediately. I’ll rush to assist."
[You raise your ’Thunder Dragon Staff Spear’, and ferociously thrust the spear tip towards the ’Seal Jade’...]
[With a ’crack’, visible cracks appear on the jade seal, soon turning into spider web-like patterns.]
[The ’Seal Jade’ crumbles into dust. In the darkness, you seem to hear countless Heavenly Demons cheering and roaring...]
[The sealing power of the Demon Suppression Altar greatly decreases. You know, countless Heavenly Demons will pour out from the altar soon...]
[Please return to your Immortal Palace and repel the invasion of the Heavenly Demons as soon as possible!]
This time, Lin Xun did not choose a defensive position inside the palace, but took a position at the front of the Cloud Bridge, similar to everyone else.
He immediately summoned three lions to block in front of him and began to cast his major spells.
[You raise your two staffs and quietly recite complicated and lengthy spells...]
[...]
[The Demon Suppression Altar vibrates ominously, causing both the Cloud Bridge and the Immortal Palaces to tremble incessantly...]
[A giant rift appears in the void, and countless Heavenly Demons with green faces, resembling demons, ’Daoli Sky Demon of Desire’ emerge from it.]
[They are ten-feet-tall, covered in dark green flames, and clutching various weapons. They surge out of the rift like a tidal wave, numbering almost five hundred.]
[Behind them, there are five hundred ’Daoli Sky Demons of Desire’, followed by another five hundred ’Night Sky Demons of Desire’...]
[Over a thousand Heavenly Demons are rushing in your direction, and these fifteen hundred Heavenly Demons constitute only a seventh of the demon army!]
[Over ten thousand Heavenly Demons emerge from the rift and scatter towards the seven Immortal Palaces, coming at you like an endless torrent!]
[They are roaring and rushing towards you, about to arrive in front of you...]
The advance team of the first wave along with the main force consists of five hundred demons. With three waves coming together, the number is fifteen hundred.
If yesterday’s battle was a small-scale one, then today’s is a full-scale war!
[The three lions you summoned roar loudly. Their robust bodies stand like an iron wall, resisting the onslaught of the Heavenly Demons.]
[But the number of Heavenly Demons is overwheling. In no time, the lions are covered in gory wounds, with blood staining the Cloud Bridge.....]
