Chapter 21: Complete Annihilation

“Hurry, hurry, hurry! There’s no time to waste!” Sirius hurriedly pulled everyone to a window with fewer people to line up.

Fortunately, there were not many people who came to challenge the dungeon, and it was soon Seuss’s turn.

“50 copper coins for each Stone of Light, one set has twenty,” said the cashier at the window before they could speak.

“Give me one set.” Seuss handed ten silver coins to the cashier.

Special Item: Stone of Light.

Item Description: It contains extremely pure power of light. Although the quantity is small, it is extremely pure and can restrain all darkness.

Item Effect: You can enter the Demon’s Den by holding the Stones of Light. Normal-level Demon’s Den requires one Stone of Light.. Hard requires two, and so on. Legendary-level Demon’s Den requires five Stones of Light.

Additional Note: Untradeable, Cannot be dropped, Cannot be damaged, Do not occupy load.

Touching the white egg-sized Stone of Light in his hand, Seuss thought in his heart. It seems that this kind of thing can only be bought by each person. No one can trade it.

One Stone of Light was 50 copper coins. It seemed a little expensive, but after the gamers’ levels increased, 50 bronze coins would be nothing.

Without saying much, everyone quickly bought the Stones of Light and gathered around the teleportation circle.

At the center of the crowd stood the Desert Guild’s party.

He glanced at the names above their heads. Desert-Gray Wolf, Warrior, Desert-Lone Eagle, Mage, Desert-Poison Scorpion, Assassin, Desert-Sandstorm, Mage. The last person’s name did not have the prefix of Desert. His name was Moon Devourer, and his job was Priest.

Staring at the priest called Moon Devourer, Seuss felt that the confidence of the Desert Guild was this priest called Moon Devourer.

“Daydreamer, do you know that Moon Devourer?” Seuss looked at Moon Devourer, but his words were directed at Daydreamer.

“I know.” Daydreamer’s tone was heavy. He lowered his voice and said, “Moon Devourer was once the commander of Endless Heaven. At least one-third of the credit for Endless Heaven becoming the largest guild is due to Moon Devourer.”

“Endless Heaven…” Seuss repeated the name.

Even Seuss, who had never played games before, had heard this name before.

This was an extremely powerful guild. In the past, it was an absolute giant in more than ten games.

Cole had told Seuss countless times that there were only two kinds of guilds in the world. One was Endless Heaven, and the other was the rest.

However, it was a pity. According to Cole, for some reason, Endless Heaven was suddenly disbanded. The originally powerful guild collapsed in an instant.

Now that the absolute core of the Endless Heaven Guild was standing on the opposite side, even the optimism of Daydreamer could not be saved. Everyone’s mood was somewhat depressed.

At this moment, Desert-Lone Eagle spoke.

“Stars, Daydreamer, we are going to clear the Twisted Forest today. Do you guys want to compete to see who can clear it faster?” Although this was a question, Desert-Lone Eagle did not have any questioning tone.

Even though the appearance of the Moon Devourer had caused everyone to become solemn, there was no reason for others to stand above them and not react to that.

“Sure.” Seuss agreed without hesitation and said loudly, “However, the normal difficulty level is too easy. Do you want to challenge a higher difficulty level?”

The Desert-Lone Eagle turned around and discussed with Desert-Gray Wolf for a while before saying, “No problem, let’s challenge the nightmare difficulty. Do you dare?”

“Pfft.” Seuss laughed in disdain and said loudly, “I thought you had some guts. I didn’t expect you to be a coward!”

“If I were to say the legendary difficulty, I’m afraid none of you would dare to challenge it. It’s better to take care of weaklings like you a little and just focus on the expert difficulty. What do you think?” Seuss’s words completely ignited the crowd.

“Expert?! Could it be that there’s someone who can clear the expert difficulty in a day?”

“This is what it means to be domineering. They can’t even clear the expert difficulty, yet he still dares to provoke them!”

These were the people that supported Seuss and the others, but there were also quite a few who supported Desert Guild.

Desert Guild’s speech had moved quite a few people. Not everyone hated Desert Guild’s way of doing things.

Just like how many people said they hated privilege, in reality, they just hated themselves for not being privileged.

“So what if it’s the expert difficulty? Stars is just a clown with a bit of luck. The Desert Guild has already cleared countless expert difficulty dungeons!”

“Do you really think that you can compete with the Great Desert just because you’re lucky? You’re living in a dream.”

The originally quiet crowd was now restless like ants on a hot pan.

But whether it was those who supported the Desert Guild or those who supported Seuss, they wouldn’t allow the Desert Guild to choose the nightmare difficulty.

If they really chose the nightmare difficulty, even if they obtained the first clear, it would be difficult for them to convince the masses, let alone use this matter to recruit others.

“Good. You have the guts, we shall challenge the expert difficulty. Let’s see who can clear it first today.” Desert-Gray Wolf stood up and said loudly, “If I win, you have to join my Desert Guild.”

“What if I win?” Seuss said calmly.

“You can name your conditions!” Desert-Gray Wolf replied without thinking.

Looking at Desert-Gray Wolf in front of him, Seuss knew that he had to consider his conditions carefully. He couldn’t go too far, such as disbanding the Desert Guild.

Because then, Desert-Gray Wolf would definitely go back on his word.

“Alright, President Gray Wolf sure is generous. We’ll discuss the bet with President Gray Wolf after I clear the level.” Seuss turned his head and brought Daydreamer and the rest into the teleportation circle.

The surrounding crowd was silent for a moment before they burst into an uproar.

“It’s only the second day since the opening of the server, and there’s already such a bet!”

“Spectacular, truly fascinating. I didn’t expect Stars to be so heroic!”

Although the crowd was still boiling, the main characters of both parties had already left the stage.

“Your party ‘Desert Losers’ is about to enter the Demon’s Den – Twisted Forest. Please choose the difficulty.” The system’s voice sounded in everyone’s ears.

“Expert.” Daydreamer’s voice didn’t hesitate.

Daydreamer was the leader of this party because only Daydreamer could command. The others, including Seuss, knew nothing about commanding.

“Nicely done,” Daydreamer said to Seuss after entering the dungeon.

“I just don’t like the look of them.” Seuss shook his head.

Madman asked, “Can we really clear the expert-level?”

“Of course not,” Daydreamer said with absolute certainty. “We definitely can’t pass, but the Desert Guild can’t either.”

“That’s right. It’s impossible for them to pass either.” Seuss took out his dagger and prepared to fight. “But we can’t go too far. We still have to try the expert-level difficulty.”

Ten minutes later, Seuss and his party suddenly appeared at the teleportation portal.

Without a doubt, they were all wiped out.
