Doomsday Online: Supreme Blessing

Within seconds, the Evil General was devoured by the black whirlpool!

At the final moment, the madness and savageness revealed on this Undead General’s face chilled everyone’s hearts.

The black whirlpool—which was like a huge mouth of the abyss—had a moment of peace.

But the dark-purple radiance exploded a few breaths later, directly tearing the space apart to construct a massive door.

The door was made up of energy, but it was like a tangible object. It was covered in marks of passing time and strange runes.

With a creak, a frightening aura spread out from the door!

The teleportation door—which was like the gates to hell—slowly opened!

The hearts in the masses’ chests instantly shrunk. Somehow, a pair of cold palms seemed to have squeezed their throats!

The gurgle of saliva being swallowed sounded. Their nervous heartbeats were like the beating of drums.

Everyone’s hands and feet were cold; the hair on their backs was upright!

The frightening existence in the abyss had ultimately stepped foot in this world…

Immense suppression and fear slammed down on everyone!

Link furrowed his brows slightly. The [King’s Sword] in his hand was swung, and a sword ray leaped out.

Yuna also called out a ball of holy light energy, smashing it on the door like a cannonball.

But the Door of Abyss’s opening could no longer be interrupted.

Link’s countenance was cold as he stood with his sword in hand.

A purple claw emerged from the void; then, it was an entire purple body.

The monster that stepped out from the Door of Abyss was only armored around its few vital spots. Purple muscles knotted all around its body, and sharp spike-like bumps were even on its back! Its face was like a combination of a fish and an octopus—it looked extremely strange as its purple beard and hair fluttered.

As this purple monster walked out, the massive door vanished.

At the same time, a notification entered everyone’s minds.

[Dark Sage]

Race: Undead Army

Profession: Dark Sage

Level: Stage 6, Level 2

Introduction: The majority of the fanatics who study dark magic in the abyss are devoured by the insane and taboo knowledge they learn. Dark Sages are clearly the best of them. They possess the ability to overturn the battle situation. They prove to the abyss that destruction and obliteration do not require sharp weapons.

…

The Dark Sage—whose appearance in human aesthetics could only be described using the words ‘hideous’ and ‘strange’—did not immediately strike upon arriving in the world.

He instead examined his surroundings and let out a sigh. The abyss’s evil language was directly translated by the [Doomsday Online] system into content comprehensible by the humans and rang in their ears.

“It really wasn’t easy to come to this planet. The past glory is no more, and even your gods have died. Yet, the planet’s will remains, preventing the superior beings in the abyss from arriving… Truly a strange place.”

“Speak.” The monster turned his head and focused his gaze on the humans. He seemed to be looking at a bunch of small and weak insects. His tone was even completely emotionless—it only contained commanding disdain. “How do you want to die?”

Many low-level [Doomsday Online] players were directly suppressed by the Dark Sage’s aura to the point that they felt stiff all over, unable to speak with trembling bodies.

Link also sensed the forces of darkness abruptly surging around him.

The Dark Sage before him was like a black sun—his might was towering. However, there was still only coldness on Link’s face. There wasn’t the slightest bit of timidity.

After advancing to Stage Four, Link’s attributes had increased significantly. Even though he was facing a Stage Six monster, it didn’t mean that he was incapable of fighting against it!

On the contrary, the words uttered by the Dark Sage caused a stir in Link’s heart.

The planet’s will prevents the superior beings in the abyss from directly stepping into the world. This is probably the true reason why the Undead army only arrived on the tenth day of the apocalyptic world’s descent.

The system update was merely a guise.

If the Undead army were to attack at the beginning, or if the frightening existences in the abyss had arrived, humanity probably wouldn’t even have the slightest chance to breathe and grow.

But Link had also heard of a rumor in his previous life—that a certain kind of protection mechanism actually existed on Blue Star.

For example, [Doomsday Online] was an opportunity for humanity to evolve and grow. This game system allowed one to transition through the levels of life within a short period of time.

However, such a protection mechanism was not immutable. Following the lapse of time or the Undead creatures’ influence, increasingly more terrifying existences would arrive on Blue Star—such as the Zergs, who followed closely behind the Undead creatures…

As his thoughts spun swiftly, Link unhesitatingly swung his sword at the Dark Sage before him!

The [King’s Sword] was brandished, and streaks of fast and strong sword energy swept toward the Dark Sage like a vast and mighty river!

Yuna wasn’t idle either. The holy light gathered at her staff was already at the limit. It turned into an incandescent ball of light and shot out!

God Devourer Ant also turned into a dark glow and pounced at the Dark Sage.

Meanwhile, Star Moon remained with Xue Linglong and the remaining [Doomsday Online] players to jointly fend off the Undead army—which had become fierce and aggressive once more.

Roars and battle cries unceasingly rang out!

A purple glow rippled out from around the Dark Sage. Once the sword energy and holy light entered the glow’s range, both dissipated into nothingness like pebbles dropped into the sea.

As God Devourer Ant approached the Dark Sage’s front, the purple glow suddenly burst out with a powerful counterforce and pushed it away.

Some hints of graveness were revealed on Yuna’s holy and flawless face. She spoke to Link via thoughts. ‘Master, this monster seems capable of absorbing our attacks and turning them into a counterforce!’

Link softly nodded as light flashed in his eyes. The Dark Sage is a monster wearing an armor of reflection! However, there should be a limit to this layer of defense. It is impossible for the Dark Sage to transform all attacks unconditionally. We have to figure out its limits as quickly as possible with our subsequent attacks!

The Dark Sage lightly nodded as he watched Link. “You are the strongest among this bunch of humans, aren’t you? Able to display such might at Stage Four… If you develop further, you might turn out to be a small trouble. I had better get rid of you as soon as possible.”

Once his words fell, a frightening aura unrolled. The Dark Sage stretched his palm toward Link, and a dark-purple glow flared.

A suction force was abruptly produced!

Link’s body was instantly sucked uncontrollably toward the Dark Sage. It was as though a black hole, which devoured everything, existed there!

“This…” Hints of nervousness and worry flashed across the faces of Xue Linglong, Qiao Ruowei, and the others—who’d placed a part of their attention on this end the whole time. Their pretty faces were slightly pale.

The Dark Sage was a Stage Six monster—two stages above humankind’s top Stage Four powerhouse. It was a presence strong enough to wipe out all of them!

Who could remain calm at this point?

As this all happened, Link just gripped the [King’s Sword] in his hand tightly and didn’t hesitate to launch a [Holy Charge] as the appetizer!

Golden light enveloped him as he cut forward like a large, golden sword!

Boom!

Amidst the sound of the roar, the Dark Sage was forcefully sent flying by [Holy Charge]’s effect. He appeared to be slightly dismayed and surprised.

Link and Yuna continued to send several more attacks at the Dark Sage in quick succession. The ground instantly turned into flying gravel as smoke and dust filled the air.

“Interesting.” Contemplative laughter came from the smoke and dust. The Dark Sage waved his hand to dispel the smoke and smoke, and purple glows danced in his eyes. “As payback, I shall let you people—who are insignificant like ants—take a look at the art of the darkness!”

In an instant, the Dark Sage began chanting a strange spell. He lifted both his hands and a ball of purple energy condensed within them. He looked like he was lifting a big black sun, and the aura became increasingly terrifying!
