Novel Full Chapter 563 - Attack
Chapter 563: Attack
After Sherlock’s firm rejection, the giant Octopus Man shook his head and said, “It’s not a wise decision to reject my suggestion.”
Two tentacles of the Octopus Man flew towards Sherlock.
Just like before, the tentacles were chopped off when they got close to Sherlock.
To a superior Devil like Sherlock, the physical attacks were unable to harm him.
“You have some capabilities. It looks like you’re not a common student,” the Octopus said as he turned around to look at Sherlock.
“If it’s convenient, tell me the real motive for building the construction site. I’ll handle it with discretion,” Sherlock said without expression to the Octopus Man, who wouldn’t yield.
“Kill him.”
The Octopus Man snapped his finger, and two bulges appeared at his feet.
Two sticky Devils broke out from an alternate dimension at his feet.
…
Brainiac stood in the Dungeon Lord Main Hall and gazed at the spot where Lord Sherlock disappeared. He had waited for more than an hour.
However, Sherlock didn’t come back.
Sherlock vanished for the same duration as Frangipani.
It was a Soul Connection Mana spell.
When was it activated?
Frangipani actually signed a Soul Contract with Lord Sherlock.
His soul was permanently attached to Sherlock.
When Frangipani was captured by Mana, Sherlock activated Soul Connection and vanished from the Dungeon Lord Main Hall.
Brainiac related Sherlock’s disappearance to the missing Polio, Phoenix, and Eggface.
Were they captured by a mysterious force?
Brainiac pondered hard, but he didn’t make any progress.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang.
The space beside Brainiac distorted violently, and the Dungeon Lord Main Hall was ravaged by the distorted dimension. It was as though a hurricane had just passed by.
Brainiac managed to activate a defensive barrier just as the space beside him was distorted.
Therefore, the turbulent Mana ripples didn’t harm Brainiac.
When everything settled down, Brainiac bowed deeply to the dark figure before him and said, “Lord Sherlock, you’re back.”
Sherlock was leaning against a chair, and his hair was a mess. However, he looked good.
Both of his hands were stained with fresh blood. It wasn’t known whether the blood was his or not, but underneath his leg was a huge Octopus head.
That was the Octopus Man, who was trying to coax Lord Sherlock in the alternate dimension.
“Brainiac…”
Sherlock held a document in his hand as he said, “Gather all of our forces and prepare for battle—a battle against Hades.”
…
Peasant was waiting at the entrance of the construction site to start work, as it was his turn to work at the construction site for two Magic Stones per day.
However, the construction site wasn’t open for work.
Many gamers and local Underworld residents were gathered at the entrance waiting to start work.
The local Underworld residents were mainly from Venice Dungeon.
The salary was attractive, so the hired workers were waiting impatiently to start work.
Working a day in the construction site was equivalent to working three days elsewhere. Only this construction site was paying a high salary.
“Why aren’t we starting work yet…”
Peasant heard the system notification alert, which stated:
[Full-service emergency mission. Leave immediately with the native workers.
Mission Description: The Devil from Hades had awakened. The entire Northern Underworld could be massacred. Please prepare before the event. First, rescue the natives outside the construction site.
Mission Reward: This is the first step in a series of Chain Missions. Gamers will be rewarded according to their performance. The minimum reward is a gold coin.
Mission Notes: Don’t be too cautious. Make the mission your first priority. There won’t be any penalty for deaths sustained during the missions.]
“Quick! Evacuate immediately! Evacuate immediately! Everyone, follow me!” a gamer shouted loudly.
Many gamers started yelling.
“Quick! Follow me! A calamity is about to occur!”
“The army of a Hades Devil is coming! You’ll be killed if you don’t flee!”
“Aren’t the armies of the Hades Devils our allies?”
The gamers spoke with smiles, befuddling the natives.
They wondered what the creatures from Eternal Kingdom were up to.
They were there to work. How could there be any danger?
Perhaps, the real danger came from the creatures of Eternal Kingdom.
Especially the Gnome, Moroes, who was working as a security guard. He had been wielding a weapon when he first arrived.
Compared to the friendly army of Hades, these fierce-looking creatures of Eternal Kingdom were more frightening.
The gamers didn’t know what the natives were thinking.
They thought that their words weren’t effective against native NPCs.
The befuddled natives thought that the gamers were joking.
A loud bang was heard inside the closed construction site.
There was a tremor, as though a powerful explosion had occurred, and the closed construction site was blown to bits.
The violent explosion frightened the Underworld residents.
However, the gamers of Eternal Kingdom weren’t affected.
That was because they were the world’s bravest warriors and weren’t afraid of death. What were they afraid of?
“Flee!”
“Flee with me. We’ll help you escape!”
“Follow me if you don’t wish to die!”
The natives responded to the gamers’ calls.
They ran in a hurry to escape the impending calamity.
It could be the invasion of the Hades army or other terrifying calamities.
They felt that their lives were being threatened.
Fleeing was their top priority.
The gamers assisted the natives at the construction site in escaping.
At the same time, the game’s official website was updated.
