Even though he saw nothing, he was ready to activate his Legendary Rank skill, Shadow Stealth, right away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at that exact moment, the Radiant Blade suddenly emitted a soft white light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These rays quickly formed a semi-transparent film, covering both Aiden and himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stay quiet! Don’t make a single sound, or we’ll be in big trouble,\" Bella’s voice rang out again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aiden was about to nod when he suddenly felt a terrifying pressure crash down from the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked up and saw that somewhere above, a mass of red clouds had appeared out of nowhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky of the Abyss, which was pitch black, had now strangely turned a dark crimson, looking just like the end of the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, those red clouds began to plummet rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aiden soon realized they weren’t clouds at all—they were countless mosquito-sized red bugs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was even weirder was that each bug’s abdomen bore a pattern resembling a human face, making them look utterly creepy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the Abyss creatures in this area also sensed the danger approaching and started fleeing in a frenzy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buzz!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless red mosquitoes flapped their wings in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aiden instantly felt his ears assault, an indescribable ringing filling his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he felt his legs lose all their Strength, nearly collapsing to the ground. Fortunately, he quickly summoned the Abyssthe Flame Demon staff to lean on, saving himself from falling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Abyss creatures around him, which had been fleeing in a panic, suddenly stopped dead in their tracks, frozen in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, those red mosquitoes with human faces on their bellies swooped down like lightning, rapidly engulfing the Abyss creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just one or two seconds, the ground of the Abyss was covered with white skeletons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Irene, there’s no escaping! Hand over the Swarm secret treasure, or face the consequences!\" Suddenly, a black figure flashed into the air above the swarm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aiden caught just a glimpse and instantly froze, slightly stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a unique white Skeleton. Its empty eye sockets held no flesh or blood—only two faintly flickering black flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buzz!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red mosquitoes gathered quickly, their wings vibrating furiously to produce a screeching sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Allen, you’re just dreaming!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You Skeletons are merely a subordinate race of the Swarm. Now, you dare betray us while the Swarm is still reviving?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if I die, I will never tell you where the secret treasure is hidden!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allen, the Skeleton, watched his black flames dance in his sockets and spoke calmly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Betray the Swarm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You red mosquitoes are just a branch of the Swarm. Besides, this time, our Skeleton race is simply following orders from ’Him’.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Irene, stop your futile struggle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing these words, Aiden’s eyes widened in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had heard of the Skeleton race before; they were similar to the Abyss Demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Humans had some knowledge of them, but terms like \"the Swarm\" or \"the Crimson Mosquito Clan\" were completely new to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, if the Skeletons were just a subordinate race of the Swarm, then the Swarm must be incredibly powerful!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aiden wondered: Could the Swarm be the King-rank Abyss race he had heard about earlier?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, this swarm led by Irene knows the location of a secret treasure from a King-rank Abyss race?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it a Mythic-rank treasure? Something like a fragment of a holy artifact? Or maybe a complete holy artifact?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The best equipment Aiden currently owned was the Mythic-rank \"Bane of All Races\" ring and the blessing of the High Miko.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for holy artifact fragments or complete artifacts, he had only seen them in passing. He had never handled one up close, let alone owned one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, another realization struck him. No wonder the Abyss Demons were constantly trying to invade Earth, while the Skeleton race, much like the Demons, had remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turned out the Skeletons were actually busy fighting a branch of the Swarm known as the Crimson Mosquito Clan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demons, Miko, Wraiths, Skeletons, the Swarm...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, the crisis facing Earth was unimaginable. Just one Abyss Demon race had made every nation and all Reclassers on Earth feel helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If even one or two more Abyss races like the Demon invaded, humanity would be doomed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have to get stronger! I need to increase my power as fast as possible!\" Aiden’s eyes hardened with determination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Skeleton Allen let out a cold snort and shouted, \"I’ve already given you your chance, but you clearly didn’t know how to value it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"DIE!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next instant, the black flames in his eye sockets leaped out, hovering in mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, the corpses and skeletons on the ground of the Abyss began to vibrate. Like lightning, they shot toward Allen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allen absorbed these bones and remains, growing rapidly until he formed a massive Skeleton standing a hundred meters tall!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the cluster of red mosquitoes didn’t hesitate for a second. They fled directly into the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph, running away? Let’s see where you can go!\" Allen sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, black flames erupted from most of his giant bones, burning furiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive explosion of energy rocked the ground, instantly creating a huge crater hundreds of meters wide beneath Allen’s feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, his body shot upward like a rocket, chasing after Irene’s fleeing direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, they’re gone. We should be safe now,\" Bella’s voice suddenly spoke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aiden watched the direction where Irene disappeared and asked, \"How strong are those two Abyss creatures? They don’t feel like Abyss Demon Gods.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Radiant Blade turned back into a woman the size of a fist, looking slightly annoyed at Aiden as she said coolly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Both of them are equivalent to a human Great Venerable, reaching the level of a Demon Grand Duke.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Weren’t you wondering why I didn’t step in?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aiden nodded slowly. Earlier, at the front line, the mid-tier Abyss Demon God, Theodore, had been defeated—the Radiant Blade had even severed his arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logically, the Skeleton and those red mosquitoes shouldn’t have been a match for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bella fell silent for a moment before explaining, \"I am just an equipment. Even though I am very special, my tier is only Mythic Rank.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I were alone, I could at most defeat a level 90 Abyss creature.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Plus, you’re here. If that fight had broken out, I wouldn’t have had the energy to protect you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bella sounded clearly annoyed, her patience wearing thin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t want to admit it, but it was true: without her soul control, her power was severely limited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The original plan had been for Bella to control her while they both entered the Abyss together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But some unexpected event had ruined that, leading to this situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, she hadn’t taken it seriously. It was just a trip to the Black City; what danger could there be?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, barely a few hours after entering the Abyss, they had already faced two Great Venerable-level Abyss creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Bella thought this Abyss journey might not go as smoothly as planned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Aiden before her, she muttered to herself: \"Now I realize... this guy is so much like Bella!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When I traveled with her back then, we kept running into powerful masters, and danger seemed to follow us everywhere.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh, we’d better just hurry to the Black City. With the Black City’s lord and Wraith Jack there, it should be safe enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two or three hours later, Aiden stood on a high ridge with Bella, silently gazing at the distant Black City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below, several massive Skeletons, each towering a hundred meters high, were closing in, surrounding the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allen, the Skeleton Aiden had seen earlier, stood among them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood silently behind another hundred-meter-tall Skeleton shaped like a fierce tiger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Last warning!\" the Tiger Skeleton roared. \"Hand over Irene of the Crimson Mosquito Clan, and we will not attack the Black City. We’ll leave as fast as we can!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aiden watched the scene with a helpless sigh and whispered to Bella, \"Well, looks like we can’t get in now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those huge Skeletons radiated such terrifying pressure; they must all be Great Venerable-level creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hardly had he finished speaking when Bella stared at him, confused. \"What is wrong with you? Why does every moment with you feel like a disaster?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aiden instinctively rubbed his nose and shook his head. He hadn’t even used his Twin Coin yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What should we do?\" Aiden asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bella sighed quickly. \"What else can we do? Just wait.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That chased Irene is actually pretty smart. She knew hiding inside the Black City would grant her temporary safety.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aiden glanced at the massive army of Skeletons and couldn’t help but ask, \"Safe? Can the Black City even hold out against so many powerful Skeletons?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Relax,\" Bella answered immediately. \"The lord of the Black City isn’t your average guy. You’ll see. Even if an Abyss Demon God showed up, he wouldn’t flinch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Aiden felt a surge of curiosity. He really wanted to see what happened next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a figure appeared above the Black City, clad in black battle armor and wielding a massive halberd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Give you three seconds to leave, or you’ll stay here forever.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1529,"2026-05-29T15:45:47.907Z","2026-06-01T04:29:39.035Z",1,"novelbin.me","9d4cd496999fd316f78466ed2648d3d80562f1dc17e69cfeba53cde271340462","everyone-s-class-one-effort-10-000x-bonus-reward-chapter-270","everyone-s-class-one-effort-10-000x-bonus-reward-chapter-268",379,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feveryone-s-class-one-effort-10-000x-bonus-reward-cover.jpg"]
