Chapter 418: The Local Church Is Really Too Impolite

Roar!

The giggling of imps and the howling of monsters were incessant; blocking the path in front of the Abyss Gate was an endless army of monsters!

These monsters, which in the past would have slaughtered each other upon merely meeting, were now, under the compulsion of the Abyss Gate, actually suppressing their instincts one after another!

"Crush them! Then march forward over their corpses!" The Dwarf general took the lead, standing at the very front of the ranks, gripping that greatsword taller than a person in his hands.

With just one Sweep, he severed every monster blocking his path.

"Charge!!"

He roared as he stepped forward, and the Dwarves behind him, influenced by him, also roared as they drew their weapons.

In this moment, there was no Fear, no hesitation, and no retreating.

There was only indomitable Courage, and that back standing at the very front.

The morale of the Dwarves rose to an unprecedented level; with the Dwarf general as the tip, they tore through the monsters' defensive line like a sharp Steel cone.

And what made Yun Mu feel surprised was this.

They had actually not entered turn-based combat, nor were they restricted by the game Dungeon, and they could attack as they pleased.

Even 【You defeated a 【Laughing Imp lv62 (Master)】, you obtained item 【Gold Coin】 ×3630 (Harvest +12%, Pickpocketing +9%)】 【You defeated a 【Fungus Guard lv60 (Master)】, you obtained item 【Gold Coin】 ×3388 (Harvest +12%, Pickpocketing +9%)】 Gold Coins were growing at an incredible speed; without the turn-based game restrictions, Yun Mu held the Frost Cold Blade Tooth, and a single Sweep could clear a whole area of enemies.

And as for Brenna and Lucy, after they defeated monsters, she could actually still obtain Gold Coins! It was just without the nine percent bonus from Pickpocketing.

There was no need at all for that Dwarf general's Inspire; just seeing the number of Gold Coins rising rapidly in her own little treasury, the morale and hot blood in Yun Mu's heart could not stop surging.

Kill all these guys, for the sake of the shiny Gold Coins!

The Dwarves were like a hot knife through butter, and before long they had pushed into the heart of the monsters, after which their speed suddenly dropped.

This was not only because as the battle dragged on, everyone's physical strength and Spirituality were gradually being depleted.

It was also because after pushing into the heart of the monsters, their originally safe rear would also face attacks from the monsters.

The Dwarf army, which had originally pierced into the monster line like a sharp knife, had to change formation when facing enemies attacking from all directions.

This was to reduce the pressure borne by each side.

Seeing this situation, Yun Mu and the others also gradually began to exert their strength.

【Construct into Reality!】

【Ice Vein Sweep!】

A fire dragon formed from flames roared and swept past, and then, with Yun Mu as the center, eight ice veins splashed out, tearing apart the bodies of every monster they passed and freezing them until they cracked.

"Da-da-da-da!!"

Brenna was riding in the Princess mecha, and beside her, a large swarm of drones was spitting tongues of fire.

"Boom-boom-boom!!"

The Princess was at full firepower, its scorching cannons tearing open a layer of the earth, and the air was filled with the hard-to-mask smell of scorched meat from the monsters being roasted.

And on Lucy's side, the situation was somewhat different.

With her extremely rich combat experience, she strolled leisurely on the battlefield, and no monster could touch the hem of her clothes.

Not even a single drop of blood stained her.

【True Alchemy Earth】

"Thrust-thrust-thrust!!"

Countless long spears thrust out from the ground, piercing through all the monsters surrounding Lucy in the blink of an eye.

Then, seeing her wave her hand lightly, the Alchemy Long Spear dissipated into the air and transformed into a very large longsword, which she used to Sweep across.

No monster could withstand such an attack, and in an instant, they were split in two.

And after the monsters died, their blood was extracted by Lucy, forming a blood sphere floating beside her.

Lucy could consume this blood to replace the Spirituality and Qi Strength required for spellcasting.

As for feeding, she, being a Blood Clan and not a Bloodline, did not need to do so.

If she really had to drink blood, hmph, she was only interested in the blood of Miss Yun.

Lucy raised her hand again, and a large amount of blood was extracted from the blood sphere condensed beside her, transforming into arrows that filled the sky and fell.

Thanks to the efforts of the three of them, the pressure on the Dwarves, who had originally been attacked from the front and back, was suddenly greatly reduced, and the momentum of their Charge returned to roughly the same level as at the beginning.

However, with the sounding of a horn, a "thump-thump-thump" sound gradually reached Yun Mu's ears.

That sound came from far to near, sounding like the noise made by an army moving in unison.

Yet, besides the Dwarf army, where else would an army be approaching from? Before Yun Mu could think of the answer to this question.

The Abyss Gate in the distance suddenly began to vibrate.

Subsequently, one after another, humanoid monsters clad in dark black armor with patterns on it that looked like flowing Lava walked out from the gate.

Looking at their uniform footsteps, it was not hard to judge that these enemies were an army from the Abyss! Are you kidding me, an army composed of monsters?

Yun Mu's expression was somewhat grave; even from far away, she could feel the troublesome aura emanating from those guys. And that smell of sulfur that lingered on the tip of her nose at all times had become much heavier after these guys appeared.

"Is this the Main Plane?"

In front of the Abyss Gate, the leading Demon Lord took a deep breath of the Damp air from beneath the main world, and then he couldn't help but cough.

"It's not dry at all here, and there isn't a trace of sulfur in the filthy rivers," he said.

"But we are bound to seize this place." He drew a longsword from his waist that emitted high heat and whose blade was the color of orange-red flames, pointing it at the Dwarf army led by the Dwarf general.

"For our Abyss Lord, kill them all!"

"For the Abyss Lord!"

The demons behind the Demon Lord roared one after another, drawing their weapons and pouncing toward the Dwarves like wolves.

And the creatures blocking their path, whether they were Laughing imps, fungi, or anything else, were all torn to shreds.

Does the Abyss also have an organization that commands the demons?

Yun Mu had heard every word these guys said after they came out.

Although the language the demons spoke was a demonic tongue she had never heard before, under the effect of the Civilization Spreader trait, she still translated what the other side was saying.

I really didn't expect that the Civilization Spreader trait could even translate the demons' speech.

Doesn't this mean that the demons from the Abyss have already established a civilization? Also, they refer to this place as the Main Plane. Could it be that the plane where the demons live is also a Half-Plane dependent on the main world? And what about the strange polluting nature of the Abyss Gate? Could it be that the Abyss possesses properties similar to an Evil God, capable of assimilating the matter of the main world?

The scene from before when battling the Shambler, as well as the status names and effects in the status bar, all made her very concerned.

However, now does not seem to be the time to think about these things.

Yun Mu withdrew her wandering thoughts, ready at any moment to face the demons' attack.

The next second, a familiar notification sounded in her mind.

【You have encountered enemies—【Burning Legion Sword & Shield Soldier lv65 (Master)】 【Burning Legion Shield & Axe Soldier lv65 (Master)】 【Burning Legion Mage lv68 (Master)】 【Burning Legion Standard Bearer lv68 (Master)】】 【Burning Legion Sword & Shield Soldier lv65 (Master) Max HP: 420 Race: Demon

【Current Turn: 1】

【Due to the skill effect 【Quick Eyes and Fast Hands】 of the equipped 【Red Oil Candle】, Brenna acts first!】

The familiar turn-based battle unfolded once again; the scene of the Dwarves, monsters, and the Abyss Legion slaughtering each other became the backdrop for the combat scene, while standing before Yun Mu and the others were four tall demon soldiers clad in dark black full-body armor.

Setting aside their names, which one couldn't help but find concerning and very much want to complain about.

Their HP was at least four hundred, their defense reached as high as 95-110, and that Demon Body trait was quite annoying.

It reduces damage by fifteen percent, and when HP hits zero, it restores half of their HP and increases all attributes for a short time.

Clearly, this thing is an upgraded version of Demonization.

It makes no sense for those monsters merely assimilated by the Abyss to have this trait while the demons themselves, the real deal, do not.

"Seriously, I've had enough of this anti-oneshot mechanism!" Yun Mu complained loudly, then looked at the trait and skill she cared about most.

The trait Abyss Standard Bearer from the Burning Legion Standard Bearer and his skill Corpse Resurrection.

If she guessed correctly, the effect was likely the ability to resurrect the corpses left behind by dead demons?

If that were truly the case, she would have to consider taking him out first.

After all, killing the healer first in a group fight is an eternal truth, especially a healer who knows Resurrection!

"Brenna!"

"Yeah!"

Hearing Yun Mu's voice, Brenna, who had been ready to act at any time, nodded in tacit agreement, then summoned the Princess mecha and unleashed a volley of fire at the four enemies in front! 【Judgment Time has arrived!】

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Artillery fire poured down from the sky, and bright red damage numbers jumped out from above the heads of the four guys on the opposite side.

Only, compared to the past, the size of the numbers and the fluctuation of the enemies' health bars had become much weaker.

These guys are really tanky, Yun Mu couldn't help but complain in her heart.
