The Boss Behind The Game

The Demonic God had spent millions of years to prepare the fire of revenge. At this instant, the angry fire was finally blazing as it ignited and engulfed Hiderigami's body mercilessly.

The burning flame stuffed the negative emotions into Hiderigami's head, causing him to cry in agony. His soul was broken by the fire before it turned into smoke and left his body. Then, his soul was absorbed by the Demonic God's shadow.

Gu Yu and the rest were shocked by the scene.

However, they were puzzled as the flame did not harm Hiderigami's physical body and they didn't feel any heat from the fire. However, Hiderigami seemed to be getting increasingly weaker within the fire.

"His soul is burning! Is this how gods deal with their enemies?" upon witnessing the scene, Little Sha was terrified.

The fire continued to rage and Hiderigami could feel that he was at death's door.

At that moment, Hiderigami could see his heyday, when he led the zombie troops to the war, in the raging fire.

His lips curved into a smile as he mocked himself.

Despite the fact that the commoners respected him as if he was a fiery God, he failed to become God and had to live humbly like the ants.

Crack!

His soul was completely broken at this moment. The reputable drought demon, who used to loiter around the underworld, had now been utterly defeated.

"I'll collect your soul and often replay the scene before you die to watch your fearful face. I think I'll never feel lonely again…"

The shadow of the Demonic God slowly faded off before the burning cross broke and turned into shining stars.

Thud! Hiderigami's body fell to the ground.

Hiderigami no longer showed any sign of life. Upon seeing that, Hu He went forward to grab one of Hiderigami's arms before saving it into his personal channel.

"Young boy, you have done a great job! This is what I promised you!"

At this moment, the pillar pagoda began to shake as a force emerged abruptly. Everyone was suffocated by the pressure, as though they were trapped within a cave.

Messages popped up in Gu Yu's mind.

The artifact turned automatically as it digitized all the messages. Then, the messages appeared in the form of an Analysis Menu in Gu Yu's brain.

[Bloody Body of the Demonic God (First Stage of Class Development)]:

Class Description: Players will obtain a gift from the Demonic God after accomplishing the mission assigned by him. Then, the first level of class development will be completed.

[Blood Qi]: The skill can release the player's basic energy. After the player's energy is exhausted, it will recover by two percent for every minute. Players can consume the Blood Qi to boost the recovery of their energy.

Class Ability: the Demonic God's Blessings, Evil Body, Flame of Blood, Sucking of Blood, Evil Eye Stare, Growth of Blood, and Blood Core.

[Demonic God's Blessings (Special Passive)]: With the blessings of the Demonic God, a god listed on the Underworld God List, players' health will recover by two points for every second.

[Evil Body (intermediate)]: Activate this skill and it will consume 35 percent of the player's Blood Qi. Meanwhile, all the attributes of the player will be increased by 180 percent and the effect will last for 30 minutes. At the same time, the derivative abilities of the player can be released.

[Flame of Blood (First Stage)]: Players will be able to summon the Naraka flames and burn a large area, with the player as the locus. The damage can be done within a radius of 25 meters. This skill can only be used when Evil body is activated, and will consume 30 percent of the player's Blood Qi.

[Sucking of Blood (First Stage)]: Within a radius of 25 to 50 feet, all blood can be absorbed into the player's body after this skill is activated and help to recover the player's Blood Qi points and health points. This skill can only be used when Evil Body is activated, and will consume 10 to 45 percent of the player's Blood Qi.

[Evil Eye Stare]: After the Evil Eye Stare is activated, all the targeted opponents who exchange gazes with the player will be affected by negative emotions. The opponents will usually experience confusion, weakness, and other discomfort. This skill can only be used when Evil Body is activated, and will consume 40 percent of the player's Blood Qi. (The effect may differ depending on the target's willpower.)

[Growth of Blood (Golden Growing Skill)]: Every time the player kills an advanced creature with abundant Blood Qi, the player will be rewarded with two to eight random attribute points of the creature. (The higher the level of the blood core, the higher the limit of the attribute points.)

[Level-one Blood Core (0%)]: The Seed of the Blood Method has unlimited potential. (The player will gain more experience pointst as the player collects Blood Qi during the Growth of Blood.)

Gu Yu was overjoyed after he read the Attributes Menu and the method to develop his character class, knowing that his efforts were not in vain.

With the class development, not only would his skills improve, but he had also discovered the potential and the future development of his character class.

He was especially thrilled to learn about the Growth of Blood, the Golden Growing Skill. Nevertheless, he felt as if he had hit a jackpot when he found out that he could earn attribute points by killing the creatures of Blood Qi.

"Demonic God, where can I find creatures of Blood Qi?" Gu Yu lifted his gaze excitedly as he asked.

"As long as you can kill an elite of Ghost Commander level and above, you can, more or less, absorb their Blood Qi. However, the best choice is definitely creatures of Blood Qi, like Hiderigami."

Upon listening to the Demonic God's explanation, Gu Yu replied with a firm nod.

Facing the invasion of the evil spirits, there were monsters of high levels everywhere and also plenty of Ghost Commander level spirits. Gu Yu was very excited to flaunt his newfound strength.

"Fine, young boy. You've helped me as I took revenge. Therefore, you can seek help from me if you face any doubt during your cultivation. For now, get lost!" the crimson eyes began to fade away before they disappeared into the pillar pagoda.

"Boss, did we win or lose?" Sun Qi asked curiously.

"We've earned a great profit!" Gu Yu answered with a grin on his face.

Sun Qi put on a grin after he heard that they had earned a profit. Knowing that he had contributed to the quest, he was expecting a handsome reward.

"Shit. Boss, the malignant player has escaped!" the guild members suddenly exclaimed.

Gu Yu turned around and realized that Hu He, who was previously standing there, had vanished from sight.

"Damn!" Gu Yu's good mood was instantly ruined.

"This player…" Gu Yu could already imagine the headache that would haunt him later.

However, this was not a safe zone and they should not stay here for long. After a brief consideration, Gu Yu waved his hand.

"Let's leave this mountain and return to the Mansion of the Dead. It's time to shed some blood for them."

Upon listening to Gu Yu, Sun Qi heaved a sigh of relief. Initially, he thought that he would be condemned by Gu Yu. However, Gu Yu was apparently in a good mood and Sun Qi was lucky to have escaped punishment.

Following Gu Yu's lead, they headed for the Cliffs of Desperation.

After Gu Yu and his team left, the white-haired old man appeared at the mountain peak.

He strode toward the pillar pagoda before he reached out to slap on it.

"Does revenge feel good?"

"It's not bad!" the crimson eyes of the Demonic God reappeared.

"I can sense that the ruthlessness in you has faded off. I reckon we will be freed soon. That's worth celebrating," the white-haired old man stretched his body as he giggled.

"Are you not afraid that I'll kill you when I get out?"

"If you don't have ruthlessness in you, then I've accomplished the mission she gave me. Following her orders, I'll have to let you out. However, with our close relationship, are you apathetic enough to kill me?" the white-haired man spoke in a melancholic tone as he patted the pillar pagoda.

"That's your promise to her and it has nothing to do with me. Since you're the guard of the seal, you are my enemy, too."

"If that's the case, I will not release you."

"Go away!" the Demonic God's voice resonated across the atmosphere once again.

The white-haired old man giggled as he disappeared into the distance.

Approximately half an hour later, another silhouette appeared at the mountain peak. The owner of the silhouette was none other than Hu He.

He nervously studied his surroundings. After he was certain that he was alone, he burst out laughing.

"Indeed, I've successfully escaped. All of you will idolize me when I finish tempering Hiderigami!"

In the future, he would be able to bring along Hiderigami to fight the Rock Ghost King and defeat the Sea King in the future. Thinking about how the other players would admire him after he won the fight, Hu He was pleased with himself.

After Hu He left the mountain, the crimson eyes of the Demonic God showed up again. He stared at the path Hu He took, appearing astonished.

"How did he make it? Is this the power of reincarnation?"

Hu He was wary throughout the journey as he occasionally checked his surroundings to prevent himself from being ambushed by Gu Yu. He took six long hours before he finally left the mountain.

Hu He wore a broad smile as he stared at the green mountain forest in the distance, feeling as if he had just been reborn.

From now on, the sea is mine to swim and the sky is mine to fly. I will be the hero of the future and my existence will be omnipotent.

"Backstab!" at that moment, a gentle cry came from behind. Hu He was stabbed at his back when his guard was down.

"Pfft!"

The sharp dagger penetrated his back muscle before Hu He turned around, disbelief plastered on his face.

Just as he expected, the attacker was the adorable female assassin.

"It's you again…"

"Pfft!"

At that instant, Hu He felt a sharp pain in his chest.

"Brother, this is not how you play the game…"

Hu He stared at Murphy, the smiling assassin who was standing before him, he had an urge to cry, thinking about how he fell into the hands of these two again.

"You're worth a lot of money…" Murphy was smiling ear to ear.

"Weapon strengthened! Backstab strengthened!"

A silver gleam was immediately cast over the dagger in Little Pomelo's hand before she charged forward with the strengthened stab.

[-198 critical hit]

Wearing an agonized expression, Hu He slowly fell to the ground.

"Life is full of ups and downs and surprises. You'll have to learn to deal with it," Little Pomelo took out a notebook, flipped through the pages before she quoted herself in a charismatic tone.

His vision turned black and white. As he expected, the two killers began to take pictures of him after they killed him, and uploaded it to the forum.

After he exited the game, Hu He quickly logged into the forum. Indeed, many players had commented on the thread posted by the assassin couple.

Hu He became more resentful when he saw the picture of his dead and despaired face that was uploaded to the forum by the assassins.

Why didn't they filter the photo?

Why!?

[Another successful kill. We're waiting to be rewarded. We are also accepting assassination missions with guaranteed efficiency!]

Crayon_Shinchan: "That's great! The malignant player has been killed! We can't let him out of the safe zone ever again! I'll give you a like! (Tip: 0.1 soul coin)"

Watermelon_Taro replied to Crayon_Shinchan: "You're so stingy!"

Crayon_Shinchan replied to Watermelon_Taro: "(rage emoji)"

Xueli_The_Strongest: "You're so skillful! You did both the first kill and the second kill. Are you a killer in real life? (laughing emoji) (Tip: 10 soul coins)"

Invincible_Loneliness (Gu Yu): "You're destined to die. Hahaha! (Tip: 588 soul coins)"

Watermelon_Taro replied to Invincible_Loneliness: "Big Daddy!"

Instant_Coffee: "Bro, are you taking new jobs? I have an enemy. I'll pay you 30 soul coins after you kill him! (Tip: 10 soul coins)"

Ganiran: "Please watch him carefully! I'm really afraid now. Two times, I've been killed by the evil spirits, which came out of nowhere, when I was hunting in the wild. I have the urge to cry every time I recall the incidents. (Hiding my face) (Tip: 20 soul coins)"

Broke_Trash: "You're so strong. Brother, since I've tipped you, please don't accept any mission that requires you to kill me. (Tip: 30 soul coins)"

Looking at the amount of soul coins that continued to increase, Little Pomelo laughed gleefully.

"Murphy, we are rich now!"

"Yes. I hope he can continue to be on the run. Then, we will utilize your skills to track his location, and earn more!" Murphy said as he ruffled Little Pomelo's hair.

They exchanged looks as they giggled.
