“The artifact to undo the Demon Lord’s seal is here. We must secure it!” the leader of the trolls commanded with a raspy voice.

“When you stare into the Abyss, the Abyss stares back at you!” four trolls whispered in unison.

“Duo Sa, do you truly trust the demon of the Abyss? Do you truly believe that it may redeem our troll race?” A troll with a brown complexion hesitantly asked with a low voice.

The leading troll halted briefly, then turned around, his scarlet eyes glaring at the troll who had just questioned him. “The blood of the Abyss has already flowed within us. Do you seek to betray us now?” he growled.

A brutal aura permeated the air around Duo Sa. His powerful presence forcefully pushed the four trolls several feet away, their faces filled with trepidation.

“Duo Sa, the blood of the Abyss within you is becoming denser…”

“Let’s go. We must obtain the artifact that can release the Abyss Demon Lord. We must succeed. Only then can our troll race find redemption,” Duo Sa quietly said, leading the way towards the Blood Demon Cave.

As Duo Sa approached the Blood Demon Cave, he suddenly halted, a look of surprise appearing on his face.

“There are people in the Demon Cave…”

As Song Jian entered the Blood Demon Cave, he was immediately enveloped in darkness. Just as he prepared to activate his vertical pupils, a member of the Dawn Warriors at his side started to whisper a spell.

A soft ball of light, the size of a basketball, ascended from the Dawn Warrior’s hand, hovering about a meter above their heads.

The Dawn Warriors worshipped the Goddess of Dawn. Despite being warriors, they knew some auxiliary divine arts. This was one such art, akin to a light spell, which served to illuminate their surroundings. It consumed little energy and could last a long time, making it especially suitable for dark environments like this.

Even the lowest-ranking creature within the Blood Demon Cave was an Elite Level monster. These monsters emitted a horrifying aura that made one shudder, wandering aimlessly around the cave in groups.

Blood Mage Apprentice, Elite Level, Level 18, Vitality Points: 1500/1500, Traits: Specializes in blood magic attacks;

Blood Mage Servant, Elite Level, Level 18, Vitality Points: 1800/1800, Traits: Specializes in close combat attacks;

Each Blood Mage Apprentice was tightly followed by two Blood Mage Servants. These servants were decked in full chainmail armor, leaving only their menacing red eyes exposed.

The Blood Mage Apprentices were clad in crimson robes and grasped a bone wand. Their skeletal figures looked like corpses stripped of flesh.

“Master Song Jian, how about we hold the frontline, while you attack from the rear?” an older Dawn Warrior suggested.

“Okay! Be careful. Utilize the terrain here, it might lessen the pressure!” Song Jian agreed, nodding.

The Dawn Warrior nodded, casting a few auxiliary divine arts. Suddenly, several halos appeared beneath the feet of the three warriors. This divine art could only be extended to the followers of the Goddess of Dawn. Song Jian, unfortunately, was not a recipient.

“In the name of the Goddess of Dawn, accept judgment, monsters!” A Dawn Warrior roared, waving his longsword. He pointed it towards the horde of monsters; two Blood Mage Apprentices were agitated, charging towards the Dawn Warrior.

An “enforced attack” status appeared above the two Blood Mage Apprentices. This was a divine art that attracted the hatred of monsters. It was most effective on mage-class monsters, capable of confounding their minds in a short period of time, compelling them to launch physical attacks.

The Blood Mage Apprentices abandoned their long-range magical offense and charged at the Dawn Warrior, screaming like men possessed. The Blood Mage Servants nearby hesitated, then followed suit, charging at the Dawn Warrior.

The other two Dawn Warriors each positioned themselves at one side of a stone pillar, apparently planning to split and conquer the horde. However, Song Jian quickly called out, “Keep them grouped together.”

The Dawn warriors looked at each other, but obeyed Song Jian’s command, adjusting their formation. The change greatly increased their pressure as they now faced simultaneous assaults from three to four monsters at a time.

Song Jian reached into his bag and threw a Weakness Potion at the group of monsters;

With a “bang”, the potion exploded amongst the monsters, its impact staggered them and caused true damage of 30 points to appear above their heads.

The resulting gray dust cloud enveloped the monsters, reducing their defenses by a whopping 35%. The Dawn Warriors, their swords now slicing through the trolls as if they had no armor, wore expressions of surprise and delight.

Song Jian reached for his bag again to procure a Slow Medicine, but after a moment of hesitation, decided against it.

Slow Medicine could only slow movement speed, which was not particularly useful in a battle scenario. The variant Slow Medicine, capable of slowing attack speed, was in limited supply and would be wasteful if used on minions.

Song Jian called forth his Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword and performed the Broken Wing Dance. He charged towards the horde of monsters.

Boom, boom, boom~

Several damage points, numbering in the hundreds, appeared above the monsters’ heads. Song Jian leapt high, the Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword in his hand swung in a wide arc. Three slender threads of Sword Qi materialized out of thin air, harshly lashing the monsters, splattering blood everywhere.

Incredibly high damage stummed the three Dawn Warriors.

“Goddess above, how is this possible…”

Originally, they thought that they were the main force, meant to protect Song Jian. Little did they expect that Song Jian’s single attack would outmatch their combined efforts.

Spiritual Sword Control Technique, Sweeping Sword Style!

Song Jian plunged into the fray, his Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword unleashing vivid, crimson threads of Sword Qi. Countless hundreds of damage points floated up from the monsters’ heads. In an instant, Song Jian drew the monsters’ hatred away from the three Dawn Warriors.

Six monsters instantly circled Song Jian.

Sword Finger!

Whoosh~

A three-meter-long silver Sword Qi suddenly emerged, quickly circling around Song Jian. The six monsters howled, a bright crimson light blooming around their waists. One of the monsters was even cleaved in half by the Sword Qi, its body separated into two halves.
