To the north of Eminentis City, there was a valley where grass did not grow and the land was dry as if this place had been hit by a drought for several tens of years; even the trees had dried up completely.
This particular territory was the territory of a monster called Fire Fox. Fire Fox was a level thirty monster and possessed ranged magic attacks; its level along with its magic attacks made it a monster that no player would dare to provoke unless they were level 30 or above with considerable fire resistance. After all, these Fire Foxes usually attacked in groups of two to five foxes.
However, although these monsters were dangerous, they were also extremely beautiful. Their plush, deep red fur and ruby eyes were extremely charming, so many players who weren't aiming too high may attempt to capture one of these creatures to make them their pets.
Bang!
Bang!
Today, the territory of the Fire Foxes was not peaceful... In fact, this peace had been broken for several days now.
Previously, the enemy was only one, but about a week ago, two other enemies arrived, joining with the first and becoming the bane of the Fire Foxes.
One Fire Fox opened its mouth wide and the next moment a half-meter fireball shot into the air. The fireball created a beautiful curve through the sky and successfully hit the enemy. However, to the Fire Fox's dismay, the only thing it got was...
-0
Forget about harming the enemy, all the little red fox's enraged attack did was like adding gasoline to a fire.
Unfortunately for the little creature, its enemy attacked at that moment and after two simple attacks, its health bar with about 3000 points was completely emptied. In fact, if it wasn't for the fact that the enemy was using normal attacks, a single attack would have been more than enough to finish it off.
After finishing off three more Fire Foxes, that person looked towards the other battlefield, and when she saw the situation she had to restrain herself from giggling.
"Little Red, Blacky, do your part~!"
After those playful words, a small black fox and a slightly larger red fox began to furiously attack another Fire Fox. The Fire Fox that was attacked was stunned when its ally turned on it and started attacking it.
As if it knew something was wrong, the Fire Fox temporarily ignored the incoming attacks and spat a fireball towards the woman who had spoken earlier.
This woman watched the fireball heading towards her with an indifferent smile, unconcerned about what might happen. A second later, she was hit.
-851
"Kya! So hot!" The woman complained jokingly.
Immediately after, another woman behind her waved her magic staff. The green jewel on the tip of the magic staff glowed and a flash of green light enveloped the woman who had lost about a thousand health points before.
+1012
After being attacked at two points several times, the Fire Fox that had attacked the beauty earlier finally collapsed on the ground. On the other hand, the two beauties and the black fox turned around and started attacking the other Fire Fox that had helped them.
The Fire Fox just stood there while looking at them with pitiful eyes. It was as if it was telling them why they were doing it if they were allies.
In the end, the second level thirty Fire Fox also fell to the ground with a look of injustice.
"Qianxue, can you not do it like that?" Xie Yao couldn't help but smile bitterly as she looked at the dead red fox's teary eyes. She always felt a bit sorry whenever she saw an ally die like that; even if she knew that it was a temporary ally.
"Eh? Why?" Gu Qianxue was puzzled. "There's nothing wrong with it, right? We have to kill them all anyway. Since we can use them, so much the better~"
"Still..." Xie Yao understood the logic but it didn't feel right anyway.
Han Xue Nai, who had reached level ten a few days ago, was sitting on a rock. Hearing the conversation between the two, she couldn't help but clap her hands and said loudly, "As expected from two people with two roots of completely opposite attributes to each other!"
Gu Qianxue looked at her and grumbled, "Xue Nai, how about helping a bit?"
"Forget it." Han Xue Nai shook her head without a second thought. "I don't want to call those things ugly. Besides, leveling up in this game is too annoying for me!"
The two beauties looked at each other with bitter smiles. After Han Xue Nai obtained her class, she vehemently refused to use her powers. Therefore, she simply became a leech who ate the experience but did not work to obtain it.
"Good job." Yao Mei approached the group and congratulated.
"Good job, you say..." Gu Qianxue felt like crying when she looked at the twenty plus Fire Foxes Yao Mei had killed. She along with Xie Yao had been doing their best but they could only deal with a maximum of four; if they were attacked by five they would have to seriously give it their all or they might die.
After all, Fire Foxes were creatures with high damage even among level 30 monsters. For her and Xie Yao, who were mages with low defense and health, group attacks were fatal unless someone blocked the path.
As if she knew their thoughts, Yao Mei shook her head and humbly said, "I can only do it because of my special skill that makes me immune to fire. Otherwise, even for me, it would be difficult to fight so many of those foxes at the same time."
"Even so. Possessing such a powerful passive skill is incredible." Xie Yao praised.
They had all been leveling up together, forming a party since the day Yao Mei arrived in Shanghai and had become a fellow neighbor.
At first, it was somewhat difficult because Yao Mei was simply too distant. However, thanks to Gu Qianxue's casual personality and Xie Yao's kindness, the red-haired beauty began to open up more and more to both of them.
"Really what a pity, if she came it would be much more fun." Xie Yao couldn't help but say.
"Well, she was waiting for Yin Yue's arrival so it's understandable. However, I really want to know her ID in this world~" Gu Qianxue pointed out.
Of course, both of them were talking about Shen Xinya. Because Yin Yue was soon to arrive with her private belongings, she had no choice but to wait disconnected.
"Xie Feng?" Yao Mei asked curiously.
"He... He actually skipped lunch. He probably forgot or again got into trouble." Xie Yao didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she said this.
"Just now I tried to call him." Han Xue Nai interjected. "However, he's apparently on a sealed map since my call didn't get through."
"He must be on a difficult mission. Just spare him this once~" Gu Qianxue pleaded for him.
The normally kind Xie Yao, however, shook her head and said firmly, "That can't be. I will definitely teach him the rules."
If there was one thing that Xie Yao definitely did not tolerate, it was Xie Feng skipping his meals, showering times, or sleeping hours. Therefore, this was one of the few things that made her angry about him and she was definitely not going to let up.

-Outside the Void Tower.
"Master, that person finally arrived here." Said a small fairy.
"Mm." A woman dressed in yellow and wearing a veil that covered all her face nodded. The bells adorning her veil tinkled softly, creating a beautiful melody. "It was faster than I initially thought. But that's good too."
"But, master..." The little fairy thought for a moment before carefully asking, "Why did he receive that title before? Is there something wrong...?"
The beauty in a beautiful yellow dress fell silent before her lovely voice rang out again, "Declaration of Death... A title with the ability to go beyond. That's something I definitely didn't expect to happen."
"But isn't it a good thing!?" The little fairy suddenly became excited and clapped her hands as she said, "When he finally achieves his goal here, not only will he be able to regain what rightfully belongs to him, but he might also be able to acquire a second divinity!"
"..." The beauty said nothing and stayed silent.
How terrifying would a person capable of mastering destruction and death itself be? She did not know; no one knew. Such a thing was a feat that had never happened since the creation of the multiverse and the appearance of the different cosmoses.
Two such dreadful and hideous divinities dwelling within the same person. Unfortunately...
"A god stronger than the strongest god... If only he had a hundred more years of time... *Sigh*... Now let's just hope he hurries up... Time is our enemy."
A gentle breeze passed through the place.
The next moment, both, the woman and the little fairy had disappeared.
The area was silent once again.
The beautiful flowers danced softly and the luxurious silver tower with strange and countless engravings continued in silence as it had been for millions of years.
The Void Tower that attacked anyone who dared to approach did not attack this time.

-Inside the Void Tower. Floor 1.
The only thing in the sight of Xie Feng was yellow grass and strange trees.
Occasionally one or two Earth Scale Tigers would suddenly appear only to be slaughtered by a single swing of his spear.
Unfortunately, even after walking for more than two hours, Xie Feng still did not know how to get out of this place.
