I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot [BL]

Chapter 551: 11.77 First Green Star – Punishment World: ‘Labyrinth’ (7)

While Ye Xiajie and his team had finally reached the hidden village of the spirit race. The Wind Spirit King, Echo, didn’t even know anything about his pending death. He was still flying through the labyrinth forest with urgency when suddenly the atmosphere in the forest had turned strange. His space in his surroundings started to distort as the shadows of everything in it gave him the feeling of being watched.

Echo frowned as he looked at his weird surroundings.

“This is… A powerful element of darkness!! Impossible! Darkness element is as rare as an Ice Element. How come both elements which don’t exist in this Labyrinth appear like this right now!?” said Echo to himself in disbelief.

“Hm? This darkness element… Isn’t it…” with his face turning pale at the sight of his surrounding area turning dark, he knew things weren’t going to be good. Especially when the usual red moon above him had turned back instead Echo knew he had fallen into someone’s domain. “N-No… No! The one I’ve found is an Ice God probability… If it’s an aloof Ice God the possibility of us winning is still there but… Not a Dark God! Gods who possess the elements of Darkness are all cruel and mad. There is only death meeting one. Did I meet one?”

Echo was trembling as he felt the looming death hovering near him. But even though he is afraid he didn’t forget to think about who might be trying to kill him. Then suddenly he remembered that human player with Dragon Bloodline looking at him with murderous eyes he tried to touch that possible God he had found for his race. A weakened God is a perfect energy resource for their village to continue to exist. He was a bit hasty and showed greed at that split moment and wanted to touch it. Now, this Wind Spirit King knew who wanted him.

With his eyes filled with fear in realization, Echo was regretting his actions until his intestines turned green. If only he thought twice about why a weakened God loved by Ice elements suddenly appeared for no reason, he wouldn’t have offended someone he isn’t supposed to.

Echo looked at the distorted sight of his surroundings dimming and swirling as he knew he had completely fallen into the other person’s domain. He even saw a group of crows coming in his direction.

Caws~ Caws~ CAW~

The Wind Spirit King mumbled as he fell in the grassland under him with his eyes full of despair and horror.

Echo said, “That terrifying man called that sleeping Celestial Beauty his wife. If the wife is a weakened God how would the husband be more? In the Abyssal World, only that Supreme One had absolute control over the element of Darkness. The Evil God and the creator of this world, Supreme Lord Yan Lou.

Hehehe~ who would have thought that the mad God would hide within the group of mortals waiting for them to suffer and swim around before him like a fish out of the water. Watching them curse life and betray the others, treating mortals as characters on a stage playing before him.

That Evil thing even has a wife!? Who would believe me even if I told someone!? Much more than I am on the brink of death~ I regret it.”

He closed his eyes accepting his death. The crows made from the darkness all dived down towards him and he was eaten alive. Not even a piece of clothing was left behind. Only a few droplets of blood that others would hardly notice.

Caws~ Caws!

After completing the mission these crows made of darkness had melted together with the shadows within the forest. It only took a few minutes before everything in the Labyrinth Forest returns to normal as if nothing had happened at all

Silence~

Stillness had descended on the forest. Only a few players who were tailing Echo had witnessed his gruesome death. To watch a powerful spirit fairy king be eaten by the darkness helplessly was a terrifying sight. They can only try to lessen their presence afraid that those wicked shadows will kill them on sight as well.

Trembling behind the trees and bushes, some human players were shaking as if they were epileptic. But no one dared to utter a sound. They do not wish to risk their lives for the Wind Spirit King. He is merely a guide to the hidden forest and his attitude and personality are bad as well. So they watched as he was killed by the darkness.

They did not know did that or what killed the Wind Spirit King but they had heard his last few words.

A player murmured, “A God. A God was hidden among our batch of players. It was him who killed that Spirit King.”

“Impossible! Why would a God hide within a group of humans!?”

“It does not make sense!”

“If he is only here to play around and it is understandable. Gods are whimsical beings after all.”

“…”

Silence once again fell on the area. The players stopped hiding and went out of their hiding path one by one. They checked the area Echo had disappeared to. There are only a few droplets of blood. Suddenly a sudden light pillar had fallen on the very same spot. Replacing the droplet of blood are a few things that only players can use. There are three bags of gold coins containing 1000 coins each. Two Wind Elemental stones and 1 Wind Spell Book. The players were stunned by the sight. It is something that is extremely useful for them. Seeing this pile of rewards there are some players whose eyes suddenly glint with greed. They wanted to have these things for themselves.

“Can the Boss level and above be killed?”

“Since no one knows who killed the Fairy it is alright for us to have these rewards right?”

“Stop being greedy! Did you not hear who killed Echo? It was a God. A fucking God for God’s sake! Take it if you want to die!”

“…”

“So what are we gonna do? Leave these things here?”

“What a waste! Let’s just split it among us! No one would know if no one spoke about it!”

“Retard! Have you forgotten about the Live streaming platform? All players are live on camera! Take it if you wish to seek death.” .

Then hidden among the group is the soloist player called Mr. Blood. It was the same player who had Chu Mo meet on the second layer and successfully passed through the hole Chu Mo created on the First Layer of hell.

Mr. Blood said, “I found out who sent the crows.”

“Eh? Really!? Who is it?”

Mr. Bloodline replayed a video of Ye Xiajie and his team destroying the thunderous clouds and Ye Xiajie himself creating the crows made of Darkness Element. When they saw the faces of Chu Mo, especially Ye Xiajie and the sleeping Hei Anjing every player in the area couldn’t help but step away from the rewards not far from them.

Though the rewards were indeed nice to the eyes and are extremely useful for them, stealing them from top rankers and an extremely beautiful yet temperamental player like Hei Anjing would only mean death. They don’t even want to touch these things afraid they would be seckilled without them knowing.

Seeing they are ‘frightened to death’ reaction Mr. Blood couldn’t help but sighed instead.

He asked the other players, “Is there no one who wants to pass these things to that group?”

The players shook their heads all at the same time while backing away from the pile of gifts.

“No. No. No. I still wanted to live. So no!”

“Please don’t look at me. I don’t know anyone from that group.”

“I haven’t bought my coffin yet there is nothing I could lay onto in case they killed me on a whim.”

“I also don’t want it anymore. I will stop being greedy for things that aren’t mine.”

Now that everyone is declining to even touch the reward on the ground so totally different from their attempts to steal or cease ownership of these things from before made it ironic in the eyes of Mr. Blood.

He couldn’t hide his contempt towards them at all. He took a few steps forward and picked up the things on the ground under everyone’s amazed and sneering eyes. To the other players, they could only think that this man covered in a black cloak wearing noble clothing under it, was brainless. Didn’t he himself show that these things are that menace’s reward.

Mr. Blood said, “Though there is no friendship. I’m a bit acquainted with Mr. Reaper. Once I find them in the Village I will pass these rewards to them. Any objection?”

“None.”

“No.”

“Of course! There aren’t. Go ahead.”

After picking up the rewards, Mr. Blood looks at the sky dimming. He knew that evening was about to fall.

“The sun is about to set. We need to reach the village before it turns dark or this forest would be even more dangerous,” said Mr. Blood.

After saying those words he activated Vlad’s Bloodline and turned himself into a blood mist. He flew in the direction that he felt would lead him to the hidden village. The other players also stopped holding back and except for the newbie players who hadn’t awakened a bloodline most of them had activated theirs and moved out to follow the direction where Mr. Blood had gone too and the death of the Wind Spirit King, Echo, was instantly forgotten. They wanted to live after all regardless of the life and death of the others.

On the other hand within the center of the village under the surface of the hidden Village itself. Lots of high-ranked spirit races were guarding an underground entrance. There are some of them arriving carrying sacks on their backs. These sacks were even moving clearly. What was inside the sack is a living being.

One of the Spirit Golem Guards spoke to the small group of Spirit Kings that arrived at the entrance of the underground.

The Spirit Golem guard spoke after seeing what they brought with them. There are at least ten sacks and half of them are still moving and whatever is inside is still alive.

“Nice haul today! The world tree would definitely like living sacrifices more than the dead ones!”

“Just a bit lucky! They’ve all come out after the world announcements were heard. It was easy to capture them as they were truly weakened. The dead ones are what the Noble Spirits had given. It was already broken and some had died on spot but it was still fresh. Since a new batch was coming to the village those nobles were so excited to get a new slave.”

“Right! It was that time of the year. But it took 3 years this time before the gates had once again opened for us.”

“A new batch of resources are coming. We need to make some preparations. Anyway, we are only here to deliver the sacrifices today. Give it to the World tree for us as usual.”

The other golem guard spoke and pushed a cart from the inside of the entrance.

“Sure. Put the commodities in the cart. We are going to bring it in.”

“Thanks for the good work. By the way, I heard rumors there are tough ones who arrived this time. Be sure to not get involved with those especially if it was a ranker.” said the first golem guard from before.

The leader of this small group of Spirit Kings said, “No worries. Even rankers would succumb within the dungeons. We only need to harvest the rest. Hehe~”

“Well~ that’s also true. See you again!”

“Later~”

Once the spirit kings had left, the two golem guards at the entrance of the underground area had dragged the cart inside. They’ve to venture deeper and deeper into the cave. There are some colorful gems embedded in the walls of the cave. These gems emit energy called mana or spirit energy. At the center of the depths of the cave is a black truck tree while its leaves are scarlet as if it was dyed in blood. There are also some fruit-like things hanging on such a beautiful tree.

Within these fruits are small baby fairies that had yet to be born. It was such an enigmatic yet lovely sight of fantasy and beauty. That’s only if no one looks down one where the roots of the mystical tree are found.

At the roots of the tree are piles of skeletons, most of which are humans’ skulls and bones. The black roots were entwined on them and some of it was inside the holes which used to be the mouth, nose, and ears of the former thing called a human. The life, flesh, and blood of these humans were drained by this crimson leaf tree.

WU! Wuu~ gah…

As expected, the golems grabbed whatever was inside the sacks that were delivered just now. There are few living humans instead there are more females than males. They look like skin and bone obviously malnourished. But upon seeing the huge tree before them they started struggling more and more. There are terrifying expressions that are almost permanent on their faces.

“The sacrifices are fresh this time. These human batteries would help our race to propagate.”

“Ah No! Let me go!”

“Wuwuwu~ save me! Someone, please save me!”

“I don’t want to die. No! I don’t want to!!!”

The golem started throwing them, “Shut up! Sacrifices have no right to speak!”

Almost everything in the cart was thrown towards the roots of the trees. The tree as if it was alive had captured all these humans regardless of whether it was alive or not and filled their holes with roots for energy extraction. Screams and curses covered the underground cave but no one was there to help these pitiful players caught by this evil race.
