“You dare!” Thunder was truly terrified now. He was completely helpless against John. Moreover, each time he was resurrected, his strength and soul would suffer significant damage.
Compared to John’s Undying and Immortal talent, this damage was far more devastating. A massive surge of life energy flowed into Thunder, bringing him back to life once again.
The moment he opened his eyes, he glanced at John and immediately tried to flee.
Buzz!
But John had anticipated this. A spatial binding sealed the area, making escape impossible. Besides, Death Land was John’s domain, giving him a natural advantage.
“Human, I surrender!” Seeing that John wasn’t joking, Thunder panicked and quickly said, “I’m willing to sign a soul contract with you!”
He had no choice but to submit. If he continued dying over and over, he risked complete annihilation.
“How boring.” John sighed in disappointment. He had hoped to see if he could keep gaining experience points.
“Sign the contract!” A wave of soul power surged out, and he formed a soul contract.
Thunder glanced at John, reluctant, but in the end, he had no choice but to comply.
Buzz!
The soul contract took shape. Thunder, not daring to show any trace of dissatisfaction, knelt before John respectfully and said, “Greetings, my lord!”
“Stand up.” John nodded in satisfaction. A lower-tier god was a valuable asset that could greatly aid him.
Next, it was time to deal with the Death Demon General.
With a thought, John summoned the Death Demon General’s body.
“Huh? The Death Demon General!” The Undead Lord exclaimed, staring at the corpse with a flame of hatred flickering in his eye sockets.
John looked at him curiously and asked, “What? You know this guy?”
“Yeah.” The Undead Lord nodded. “He used to be one of my subordinates, but later betrayed me and joined the demon race.”
“One of your subordinates?” John was surprised. The Death Demon General was a lower-tier god, far more powerful than the Undead Lord.
Then he added, “You must have some serious character flaws if your own subordinates keep betraying you.”
He recalled that the banshee who served the Undead Lord had also defected to the Dark
Humans.
“Uh…” The Undead Lord was speechless and said blandly, “I just didn’t want to compete with those guys. As long as I stayed alive, that was good enough for me.”
John knew his personality well-indeed, he had always been indifferent and unambitious.
If it weren’t for the Divine Path opening and the hint of danger he sensed, this guy would probably still be hiding somewhere, living a carefree life.
Without saying more, John sent his soul power into the Death Demon General’s body, attempting to establish contact.
“No response?” He frowned.
Despite his Soul Technique reaching 20,000 points, he still couldn’t awaken the Death Demon General’s slumbering soul.
The Death Demon General’s Soul Technique must be close to 19,000 points, making the gap between them quite small.
John decided not to waste time trying to wake him up. A massive surge of life energy poured into the Death Demon General’s body, easily resurrecting him.
“Huh?” The Death Demon General opened his eyes and looked around in confusion.
“Godslayer!” He noticed John nearby and immediately jumped up, his guard up as if facing a dire threat.
Whoosh!
Dark energy surged around him. He raised his hand and conjured an arrow of darkness, which shot towards John at lightning speed.
He still remembered Michelle’s orders clearly.
“You dare!” Thunder roared, stepping in front of John and effortlessly deflecting the attack.
“Thunder, have you lost your mind?” the Death Demon General glared at Thunder, utterly confused.
Weren’t they supposed to kill this human together? Thunder might not be reliable, but attacking his own side was unexpected.
At that moment, John’s voice rang out, “Death Demon General, I’ll give you one chance- submit to me, or die!”
“Keep dreaming!” he shouted furiously and charged straight at John.
“My lord, leave it to me,” Thunder stepped forward, his body crackling with lightning. Then he seemed to notice something amiss and exclaimed in shock, “Wait, where’s my Lightning Elemental Affinity?”
John felt a bit awkward upon hearing this.
He had already plundered Thunder’s lightning affinity.
Although it didn’t greatly affect Thunder’s current strength, it would severely limit his future
growth potential.
Boom! Boom!
The two began to clash fiercely. Neither could gain the upper hand for a while.
Thunder’s power was slightly stronger, but after dying twice, his strength had been severely weakened, making him evenly matched with the Death Demon General.
Buzz!
The air trembled as John activated his soul skill, Intimidation.
With his soul power now far superior to theirs, he couldn’t completely annihilate the Death
Demon General’s soul, but he could immobilize him with ease.
The Death Demon General froze in place, his eyes glazed over.
Boom! Boom!
A series of thunderous crashes followed as several bolts of lightning struck, instantly
reducing his health by over a billion points.
The Death Demon General’s eyes widened in terror, completely unable to move.
“Thunder, leave the final strike to me,” John instructed calmly.
He wanted to see if killing the resurrected Death Demon General again would yield experience points and trigger the Plunder talent.
“Yes, my lord!” Thunder responded, and his attacks became even more ferocious.
The Death Demon General’s health plummeted rapidly, soon dropping to just over a hundred
million.
Thunder halted his assault. One more attack from him would be enough to finish the job.
Sword energy surged, and with a dazzling arc, John’s sword descended.
Light and dark magic erupted like a storm, raining down from the skies.
The Death Demon General, utterly defenseless, was once again slain.
[You have slain the Death Demon General, gaining 8.92 billion experience points.]
[Plunder talent activated. Dark Element Affinity +50, Spirit +500, Strength +500, Skill Points
+100.]
The system notifications flashed. Killing the Death Demon General again still granted experience and Plunder attributes.
However, compared to the first time, the amount of experience and plundered attributes had decreased significantly.
Moreover, the items dropped weren’t divine artifacts, but merely skill stones and other basic
materials.
Just like when players die, god-level warriors also lose many levels upon death.
John’s hypothesis was confirmed. He proceeded to resurrect the Death Demon General once
more.
“What exactly do you want, human?” The Death Demon General’s face was pale as he took a
step back, heart filled with fear.
He was utterly powerless against John.
John replied indifferently, “This is your last chance. Submit to me. If I kill you again, your soul
will be damaged, and I can erase you with ease.”
The Death Demon General remained silent. He knew John was speaking the truth.
“Godslayer, this guy is a traitor. He’s not trustworthy. Just kill him,” the Undead Lord
suggested.
He still holding a grudge over the Death Demon General’s betrayal.
Thunder stepped forward, ready to attack at any moment.
“Where did this skeleton soldier come from?” The Death Demon General glared coldly at the
Undead Lord, not recognizing him.
He was genuinely terrified. After hesitating for a moment, he knelt on the ground and
voluntarily formed a soul contract.
John successfully signed the contract, gaining control over yet another lower-tier god.
He was overjoyed and looked at Tony and Ben, saying, “Let’s go-time to head to the Ancient
Battlefield Ruins.”
“Old man, I want to go too!” Tracy called out quickly.
She was desperate to leave Death Land.
In recent days, even Jean had often gone out to hunt magical beasts and strengthen himself,
leaving her without company.
Sini also looked at John with hopeful eyes.
“Alright,” John hesitated but ultimately nodded in agreement.
The coordinates of Death Land were practically public knowledge by now, making it unsafe
for Tracy to remain there alone.
Though the Ancient Battlefield Ruins were dangerous, having the two girls by his side gave
him peace of mind. After Ben provided the coordinates, they all boarded Avis and sped off.
The Ancient Battlefield Ruins were different from The Secret Area. Even if you knew the coordinates, you could only enter through its designated entrance.
The Death Demon General and Thunder sat far at the back of the group.
The Death Demon General glanced at Thunder and whispered, “Did our lord just say we’re heading to the Ancient Battlefield Ruins? Is it that Ancient Battlefield Ruins?” “It must be,” Thunder nodded, his expression also filled with apprehension. “Has our lord gone mad?” The Death Demon General swallowed nervously. Both he and
Thunder, as lower-tier gods, had witnessed firsthand the horror of the Hunters-beings capable of completely erasing even gods.
Thunder glanced at John’s back and said, “Our lord is one of The Immortals. Maybe he has a
way to deal with them.”
“True,” the Death Demon General nodded in agreement, having just remembered John’s
unique identity.
…
Meanwhile, Michelle and Kamal had left Death Land, but they didn’t head straight back to the
Dark Forest.
“Kamal, you head back first. I’m going to make a trip to the Void Area,” Michelle said softly, thinking about John’s astonishing talents.
Kamal was startled and quickly protested, “No way! That place is the domain of the gods.
Going there is suicide!”
“Don’t worry, they won’t make a move against me now. That Godslayer is too terrifying; we
must get rid of him as soon as possible. If we allow him to grow any further, he’ll become our worst nightmare.” Michelle offered some reassurance before mentally connecting to the Void Area’s coordinates, instantly teleporting to the depths of the Eternal Forest.
Nearby, a winding spring babbled softly, radiating an immense amount of spiritual power-it
was the Elven Spring.
Michelle couldn’t help but feel envious. The Elven Spring was even more powerful than the Dark Sea, but it had been taken by the gods long ago.
There were dozens of terrifying presences in the vicinity, so he didn’t dare act rashly. Instead,
he called out loudly, “Michelle, Demon Sovereign, requests an audience with the Lord of the
Void.”
The surroundings fell into a deathly silence. After a long moment, a figure appeared-it was Mantra.
“Michelle, what are you doing here?” Mantra asked in surprise.
There were several of Michelle’s enemies here. If any of them decided to attack, Michelle
would be dead without question.
Michelle glanced at Mantra and said, “That Godslayer is still alive. He killed both the Death
Demon General and Thunder.”
“What?” Mantra exclaimed, his brows furrowing as he stared at Michelle. “Are you sure?”
His expression turned sour as he asked coldly, “Do you think I’d risk my life coming here just
to deliver false news? This matter must be reported to the Lord of the Void. I’m leaving now.”
With that, he wasted no time and vanished instantly. Mantra watched Michelle disappear, his expression grave. He was just about to seek an audience with the Lord of the Void when a voice echoed in his mind.
“Have the God of Light deal with that human. The Death Worm’s Nest Scroll was lost because
of him, and he must atone for his mistake.”
Mantra was startled. He recognized the voice-it belonged to the Lord of the Void.
He bowed respectfully toward the Void Area and said, “Yes, my lord. I will see it done.”
With that, he, too, disappeared from the scene.
