Sacrifice's Rise: I Became Invincible After Entering Godslayer Temple

Chapter 81 Chapter80-The Hunt of Darklord

The reason John kept the queen Medusa's egg wasn't because he needed a pet for assistance in battles, but because he suddenly thought of something...

The ultimate development of Godslayer would likely involve a final showdown between the camps of righteousness and evil.

Despite having received The Devil's inheritance, John essentially still belonged to the race of human players.

In case of large-scale battles between the two factions in the later stages, he needed to gain more information about the enemy.

If the queen Medusa inside the egg could be hatched, it would serve as an excellent source of information.

Being an undead boss of the abyss, it was undoubtedly more capable than John himself.

However, the hatching conditions for the queen Medusa were quite stringent.

Abyssal Mire, which John couldn't access at present, since the game had not yet opened the entrance to the abyss.

He guessed that it might become accessible only after several updates.

The other condition was to collect the essence blood of seven snake-type undead lords.

Coincidentally, if John remembered correctly, there was a mini secret realm near Silverglow where a snake-type boss, which happened to be of the undead lord level, slumbered.

Wasn't this like a pillow arriving just as sleepiness took hold?

John rented a horse as his mount and galloped out of the city gate.

He brushed past two warrior players whose eyes suddenly lit up upon seeing him.

Once John was out of sight, one of them whispered to his companion, "Wait a minute, isn't that Galewind, the one our boss asked us to find?"

His companion nodded, "Indeed, he looks a lot like the man in the photo."

"Let's go, we have to report back to the boss quickly, we've found Galewind's tracks."

"And you?"

"Of course, I have to follow him, otherwise, what if he escapes again?"

The two men split up, and the first warrior player summoned his mount and started chasing John.

His companion galloped back to the guild headquarters at full speed.

Unaware of the ripples he had caused, John, after leaving the city, galloped northward.

Initially, there were quite a few tents along the road, set up by those bustling around Silverglow's Dawn Breeze Auction House.

However, as John moved further north, the number of players gradually thinned.

Upon entering the grassland, there were only a few lone players looking for low-level monsters to level up.

While on the move, John suddenly furrowed his eyebrows - it seemed like he had a tail following him.

Sitting on his horseback, he slowed down and glanced back from the corner of his eye.

Indeed, the figure on the horse in the distance had also slowed down.

So, he was really coming for him?

John was slightly taken aback.

He didn't know whether it was someone from the Wolf Guild or Darklord Guild, but whoever it was, they weren't here with good intentions.

So, John turned his horse around and dashed into a valley.

Upon seeing John disappear from his line of sight, the warrior player who was following him grew anxious and hurriedly chased after him.

As soon as he entered the valley, he saw John standing beside his mount, watching him expressionlessly.

"You've been tailing me for a while now, anything you want?"

The warrior player, recovering quickly, put on a casual smile and replied, "Brother, I think you misunderstood. I'm not tailing you."

John scoffed and pointed above his head, "Next time you lie, remember to hide your guild name first."

The name over the warrior player's head read clearly: "Darklord Guild — EverFlow".

Unable to conceal his identity, EverFlow instantly put on a new face.

He spat out maliciously, "That's right, I'm part of the Darklord Guild. Our guild leader has been looking for you. You thought you could cross the Darklord and then just hide?"

John was somewhat speechless, he shook his head and said, "The lot of you from your guild, top to bottom, are just a bunch of idiots. Is this what they mean when they say, 'a foolish leader only raises foolish subordinates'?"

EverFlow was instantly furious, and barked out, "How dare you insult our guild! You're just asking for it, punk!"

John was directly amused by the player's stupidity.

He casually strolled towards EverFlow, muttering, "I shouldn't have bothered talking to an idiot like you. Didn't your guild leader, Darklord, tell you to run when you see me?"

EverFlow tried to retort, but found John waving at him dismissively, as if swatting a fly.

The next moment, he blacked out.

[You have been slain by Galewind!]

When he came to, he found himself back at the respawn pool in Silverglow.

"Was I just one-shot?"

EverFlow stood at the entrance of the pool, disbelief written all over his face.

His strength wasn't the top tier in the guild, but he was far from the weakest.

Approaching the level 50 and equipped with decent gear, he found it inconceivable that he had been taken out in one strike.

He scratched his head, baffled.

The scariest part was that he didn't even see how Galewind attacked.

Could their guild even handle such a formidable player?

A shiver of fear ran down EverFlow's spine.

He dashed towards the guild's headquarters, intent on convincing the guild leader to drop the grudge against such a formidable foe.

However, when he returned to the guild, he was taken aback.

Darklord had dispatched most of the guild's top players, led by the guild's ace, SoulSong, on a mission to take down Galewind.

If it weren't for the imminent auction, Darklord might have even joined them himself, such was his enmity towards John.

"EverFlow? How are you back so soon? Did you lose Galewind?"

Seeing EverFlow rush into the guild headquarters, Darklord, who was busy raising funds, frowned.

He had been on the brink of revenge, and losing Galewind's trail now would mean not knowing when he might get another chance.

EverFlow, with fear written all over his face, shook his head, "Boss, Galewind found me."

"And then? He shook you off? So, you did lose him, didn't you?" Darklord roared in fury.

"Worthless! The guild has spent so much money on you lot, and you can't even track someone!"

EverFlow shook his head again, looking even more terrified, "Not lost, boss. I was one-shot by him!"

"What? One-shot?!" Darklord's expression of rage froze on his face.

"Boss, should we really be making an enemy of such a fearsome player?"

EverFlow said, still terrified.

"You didn't see it, that guy is just...inhuman. I didn't even see how he attacked."

Darklord, clearly impatient, snapped, "That's because you're useless, not a pro at all! Galewind has been suppressed by me ever since he joined the game. He ruined my plans last time, and I've sworn revenge. SoulSong, who knows him best, is leading the hunt this time. There's no way he'll escape!"

Although surprised by John's strength, Darklord didn't worry too much.

"Alright, our primary task now is to secure those two legendary equip at the auction. SoulSong can handle tracking Galewind."

...

In the Great Northern Plains, an unknown small valley.

John slowly retracted his hand, a fleeting spark at his fingertips.

"These insignificant bugs dare to track me alone? Seems they value gold over life." John shook his head in resignation, turning to continue towards his destination.

Not long after he left, a group of people arrived in haste.

"Is this where EverFlow was last killed?" SoulSong looked around, then his eyes brightened slightly.

He spotted EverFlow's steed, wandering aimlessly, munching on grass due to the death of its owner.

After ordering his men to bring the horse back, SoulSong fell into silence.

He had already heard through the communication channel about EverFlow being one-shot and resurrecting back, which made him even more alert.

Darklord's judgment was clouded by his burning desire for revenge against Galewind, but SoulSong remained cool-headed.

He had never underestimated Galewind, his former friend, fully aware of his formidable strength.

At the very inception of the game "Godslayer", Darklord had exploited a significant amount of resources to undercut Galewind.

Any other player would have had to delete their account and start over, but Galewind, against all odds, fought back from the abyss.

SoulSong had to admit to himself, he probably couldn't have done the same.

"Captain, we've lost the enemy's tracks. What do we do next?" The voice of a guild member interrupted SoulSong's thoughts.

SoulSong thought for a moment, then responded, "Since Galewind left from here, there's a good chance he'll pass through here again on his way back to Silverglow."

"We'll wait here, notify everyone to prepare for battle!" As a former guild leader, SoulSong naturally knew how to manage a team in a large-scale fight.

He quickly spread his group out, setting up an ambush in the valley.

Meanwhile, John had arrived at his destination.

[You have entered Dark Cavern]

Looking at the bottomless cavern in front of him, John mused, "These serpents really do act like their real-life counterparts, always favoring these dark and damp caves."

He took a leap of faith and plunged into the cavern.
