Chapter 124: Chapter 124: Gaia’s Mission, Entering the Demon Lair
Clang, clang, clang...
A series of intense impacts.
Gaia was knocked back repeatedly.
"Strong!" His expression was serious, he stared at Johnnie in the air, but he looked helpless.
He was a knight, and had no long-range attack methods at all.
"Quick, bring me the Magic Cannon!" Gaia looked at the soldiers beside him and coldly ordered.
The Magic Cannon was a powerful city defense weapon, capable of taking down Level 6 monsters.
"Hmph, you think the Magic Cannon can take me down? That’s a fantasy." Johnnie sneered, and immediately landed on the ground, charging toward Gaia.
"Die!" He roared, not at all afraid, his Great Sword slashing wildly, attacking fiercely.
Johnnie looked unimpressed, alternating between the Five Elements Technique, his flying swords appearing and disappearing unpredictably. Under the passive damage and attack speed boost from the Great Transformation Sword Technique, he easily dominated Gaia.
For a moment, Gaia was forced into a miserable situation, running around with his head in his hands.
His strength was no less than a Stage 5, legendary boss, but even so, he was still no match for Johnnie’s terrifying damage.
"Human, I am a subordinate of the Demon God. Killing me won’t help you. The demonic creatures will never forgive you!" Gaia was both shocked and furious.
His Health points kept dropping. If this continued, he wouldn’t last long.
"Demonic Creatures?" Johnnie sneered, coldly said, "If you want to live, you can give me ten Fossils of Creation."
Gaia was stunned, then realized, "So that’s what you’re after!"
He quickly stepped back, stopping Johnnie from attacking, "Human, we can talk. The Fossil of Creation I have is a quest item. If you kill me, you won’t get a single one."
"Is that so? I can try." Johnnie coldly said, but didn’t attack.
Some NPC quest items would disappear upon killing, and wouldn’t drop.
But he didn’t want to finish the guy’s quest.
Gaia quickly said, "Human, the Fossil of Creation I have is a task item given by The Demon God sir. I can’t use it. If you kill me, it will disappear, and you won’t get a single one either."
Johnnie felt the guy wasn’t lying, and asked, "How many Fossils of Creation does this quest reward?"
"Five. That’s all the Fossils of Creation I have." Gaia looked at him and continued, "Human, I just have a special quest here. If you help me finish it, those five Fossils of Creation will all be yours."
Five Fossils of Creation!
Johnnie was tempted. This was way beyond his expectations.
He had thought Gaia only had two or three Fossils of Creation.
But he had to help Gaia finish the quest to get the five Fossils of Creation, which made him a bit annoyed.
Johnnie asked, "What kind of quest is it?"
Gaia said, "Seal a special hidden realm inside the Demon Lair."
[Ding! You have triggered a unique special hidden quest: Seal the God of War Hall in the Demon Lair.]
God of War Hall?
Johnnie heard the quest message, and felt surprised and stunned.
He had received a quest from the Soul of The Map of Heaven and Earth, also searching for the fragment of The Map of Heaven and Earth in the God of War Hall.
He had no idea how to enter the Demon Lair and find the God of War Hall, and here this guy was, offering it to him.
Johnnie looked at Gaia and didn’t immediately accept, saying, "The Demon Lair is full of Demonic Creatures, and even The Demon God is there. If I enter, I’ll definitely die."
Gaia explained, "No, you won’t. I’ll give you a quest token. The Demonic Creatures won’t bother you."
He took out a token and a black Jade Amulet and handed them to Johnnie, explaining, "This is the Sealing Jade Amulet. Once you enter the God of War Hall, just crush it, and you can reseal it. But be careful, the Demon Lair isn’t just full of Demonic Creatures anymore. There are other factions there too, all looking to explore the God of War Hall."
"Other factions?" Johnnie was confused.
Gaia continued, "It seems to be subordinates of Pluto. I don’t know exactly who they are."
Johnnie frowned. It looked like the situation in the Demon Lair was even more complicated than he had imagined.
He guessed that the subordinates of Pluto were probably after the fragment of The Map of Heaven and Earth in the God of War Hall.
Could it be someone from the Doe Family?
He asked, "How do I enter the Demon Lair?"
Johnnie knew there was an entrance to the Demon Lair near Astral City, but he didn’t know the exact location.
Gaia said, "To the southwest of the city, three hundred miles away, there’s a hidden cave. That’s the entrance to the Demon Lair. You can enter freely with the token."
"Okay, I’ll wait for your message." Johnnie didn’t linger, turning and walking away.
Gaia watched his back as he left, and let out a cold laugh: "Hmph, do you think the Demon Lair is that easy to enter? You will be trapped in it forever!"
This quest wasn’t difficult at all. As long as he entered the God of War Hall and crushed the Jade Amulet, he could reseal it.
He could easily complete this quest.
The only thing was, he wasn’t willing to enter the Demon Lair. Once he stepped inside, he would be trapped forever. Without the help of a deity, there was no way out.
...
Johnnie had no idea how dangerous the Demon Lair was. Even if he did, he wasn’t afraid.
"I wonder if I can finish this quest in time." Johnnie muttered to himself, opening his friend list. Aaryn was still online.
He sent him a private message: "Aaryn, do you know when the Doe Family is going to strike the Yett Family?"
He got a reply quickly.
Aaryn: "Guru, I don’t know the exact time, but it’ll take at least a week. The game attributes are merging very slowly. I think it’ll take a week to complete the fusion. Also, Dorian isn’t around. He seems to have something more important going on. He’s gathered a bunch of Western players and entered a hidden realm."
Johnnie: "Got it. If the Doe Family is going to make a move against the Yett Family, let me know."
He didn’t care much about Dorian’s move.
A week was probably enough time for him to finish the quest.
He felt that Gaia’s quest—sealing the God of War Hall—was meant to stop others from getting the fragment of The Map of Heaven and Earth.
But the quest didn’t say that explicitly. He could get the fragment first, and then seal the God of War Hall.
And even if he sealed it, he could still enter freely with his Illusory Body.
Johnnie flew southwest, dodging powerful level 4 monsters that roamed around. He didn’t feel like dealing with them.
Soon, he found the entrance to the Demon Lair that Gaia had described—a hidden cave in the forest.
There was a seal in place. Players and monsters couldn’t enter.
Johnnie thought for a moment, then handed the token Gaia gave him to Dylan, and walked toward the cave.
[Ding! You have discovered the entrance to the Demon Lair. Illusory Body triggered. Enter?]
The prompt appeared. His Illusory Body could clearly pass through the seal of the Demon Lair. He didn’t even need the token for the Demonic Creatures.
As for avoiding attacks from the Demonic Creatures, that was even easier. He had the Demon Wing from the Soul of The Map of Heaven and Earth, which could help him avoid their detection.
"Enter!" He thought to himself. A surge of spatial power, and his body vanished, entering the Demon Lair.
Whoosh...
A strong wind blew, the surroundings turned gray, filled with a powerful pressure.
"God’s aura!" Johnnie was shocked. He sensed a godly presence—and not just one.
Two godly auras!
Did two The Demon Gods appear in the Demon Lair?
The Demon God was just a rank, not a specific person. Anyone above Stage 9, the Evil Monarch, was considered a The Demon God.
Zzz!
At that moment, the Dragon Patterned Sword glowed, and the Red Carp appeared, looking around in surprise.
"Master, we’ve entered the Demon Lair, right?"
Johnnie nodded and said, "There are two hidden quests that need to be completed in the Demon Lair."
The Red Carp was excited and said, "Perfect. I know there are Stage 6 Dragon Beasts in the Demon Lair. Killing those guys could help the Dragon Patterned Sword evolve again, and my strength will also get a huge boost."
"Stage 6 Dragon Beasts? Are they Dragon-type monsters?" Johnnie asked happily.
"Yeah." The Red Carp nodded.
"Master, I sensed Pluto’s aura!" A voice suddenly echoed in Johnnie’s mind. It was Maiev.
Pluto’s aura?
Johnnie was confused. This was the Demon Lair. How could Pluto be here?
He remembered that Pluto and the Demonic Creatures weren’t enemies. Even in the previous life, when the game invaded reality and countless alien races arrived, there were both Demonic Creatures and Pluto’s necromancer race.
They had fought multiple fierce battles.
Pluto appearing here meant something was definitely not simple.
Johnnie activated the Canvas of Illusions and, with a thought, released Maiev.
This wasn’t the Universe Continent, so there was no suppression force. Gods wouldn’t be affected.
Zzz!
A surge of spatial power, and Maiev’s body appeared.
She looked around curiously, then realized and said in surprise, "Master, how did you get into the Demon Lair?"
Johnnie was confused and asked, "Is there a problem with that?"
Maiev nodded, her expression serious. "The Demon Lair can only be entered, not exited. Unless a godly powerhouse helps you break the seal."
"Can’t exit?" Johnnie was confused. He walked toward the exit of the Demon Lair.
[Ding! Divine power suppression. You cannot leave.]
The prompt appeared. Even his Void Body couldn’t leave.
The Demon Lair was truly strange.
Johnnie’s expression turned cold. That Gaia never intended to give him the quest reward.
Once he was trapped inside the Demon Lair, he wouldn’t be able to leave, and even if he finished the quest, he wouldn’t get the reward.
This guy was clearly trying to trap him forever in the Demon Lair.
But he didn’t know that Johnnie had a real god by his side.
Johnnie looked at Maiev and asked, "Maiev, can you break this seal?"
Maiev nodded, "No problem. The seal here doesn’t suppress divine power."
Johnnie felt relieved. As long as he could leave normally, it was fine.
Huh...
Suddenly, a strong wind blew, and terrifying pressure spread everywhere.
Maiev’s face changed slightly and she said, "Master, Pluto sensed me. I can’t fight him right now, and there’s also a The Demon God. Get out of here fast!"
She was about to break through the divine seal of the Demon Lair.
Johnnie quickly stopped her, saying, "No need. Enter the Canvas of Illusions."
He opened the Canvas of Illusions directly, and the group quickly hid inside.
As their bodies disappeared, two massive figures appeared in an instant.
One was a monster with a human body and a snake tail, and the other was a giant with two horns on his head and two wings on his back.
Pluto and The Demon God Kalia.
