Chapter 68: Deterrence, Submit!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Stage Four beings were far more powerful than Stage Three existences.
There existed a fissure between these two stages, and it wasnât easily crossable.
In this apocalyptic world were countless creatures below Stage Four.
Due to the changes in the worldâs order, the human race forcefully reversed their way of living to adapt to the new orderâwhere the strong survived, and the weak died.
Rather than saying that this was an apocalyptic world, it was more like an apocalyptic game.
In this game, everyone was split into different levels. Stage One to Three existences were like players who had just entered the game and were starting to learn about the game. A lot of humans and other creatures were at this stage.
They increased their strength by leveling up. They surpassed a normal humanâs limits, gaining strength that allowed them to shatter boulders and break mountains.
However, this level of strength was still way too little. Beings below Stage Four were just cannon fodder and ants in [Doomsday Online].
Only when one reached Stage Four would they be able to establish a weak foothold in the apocalyptic world.
Stage Three to Stage Four was when ordinary bodies changed into spiritual bodies. This allowed beings to control the strength within their bodies more easily; they could even use the different energies in the outside world to strengthen themselves.
But, the path to Stage Four was extremely difficult. Few were able to reach it. Once they did, their future achievements would definitely be quite good! They would also be famous in their area!
To evolve even further, one had to reach Stage Seven and beyond. That was a whole new realm!
...
As of now, with [Death Judge]âs enhancement, Linkâs strength had truly increased significantly. Even though he was only Stage Two, he was able to fight against a Stage Four existence.
This was enough to shock the world!
Of course, it was a different case for the Necromancer that Link killed. According to logic, Necromancers should be top-notch existences amongst Stage Four beings! This was because each of them was akin to an army!
The Necromancersâ powerful Undead Magic wasnât something ordinary people could fight against!
According to what Link knew, the Temple of Light had paid a heavy price to kill the Necromancer in his previous life. They lost numerous powerful humans, including Stage Four ones, in order to kill it.
A Necromancerâs power was enough to instill fear in all those who knew of it!
However, it was a pity that the Necromancer met Link this time! Having his past lifeâs experiences, Link already knew of the Necromancerâs weakness beforehand. Hence, he was able to kill it easily.
If the Necromancer had met people other than Link, it would have killed them easily! After all, Stage Four beings werenât existences that anyone could offend!
If the Necromancer were able to cast its spells freely, its terrifying power would definitely sweep through Dragon City and turn the city into a realm of death.
In such a situation, Link mightâve just turned around and left if it were another type of Stage Four Undead. However, Link was now confident that he could fight against Stage Four existences in general.
[Great Void Taboo Master] and [Death Judge]âs enhancements would be Linkâs important support when climbing to the peak in this lifetime.
...
Link turned his eyes toward the members of Black Dragon Gangâs three teams.
Since their leaders had passed away, these few hundred Stage Two humans all shivered in their hearts. They panicked, unable to even think about resisting.
Even their three leadersâwho were Stage Three existencesâwere killed by Link. It was really shocking to them. Even though they were many in number, they didnât dare to move.
The shock and fear Link brought to them was too great; hence, they were all terrified now.
Link was a ruthless person who didnât hesitate to kill. If they angered him, they would probably end up dead!
Whatâs more, the two fierce monstersâGod Devourer and Star Moonâwere nearby and staring at them. These two monsters were beings as strong as their leaders; hence, they were enough to scare them sh*tless.
âSubmit or die!â stated Link lightly. He seemed like a god looking down on mortals casually, causing the members of the three teams to tremble all over.
Linkâs piercing killing intent seemed to penetrate their souls, making none of them dare to resist.
Although the three teams were the Black Dragon Gangâs most powerful attacking force, they had no choice but to submit when faced with the threat of death!
Instantly, all of them kneeled down and chose to submit to Link.
Seeing this, Link nodded in satisfaction. Although he wasnât a person who would easily kill others for small issues, he didnât show any mercy to enemies either.
In the apocalyptic world, being merciful to enemies was the same as being cruel to oneself.
Link had seen lots of similar situations.
âXinghe, control these people. If they dare to resist, kill them without mercy!â Link ordered. His tone was cold like frost. His tone felt like blades were going to cut them.
âYes!â shouted Luo Xinghe in reply and started to integrate the members of the three teams.
Even though they would be able to tear him apart if they rioted, Luo Xinghe was still unafraid.
At the side, God Devourer continued to stare at them while exuding a violent aura, causing none of them to dare to do anything wrong.
If they tried to do so, only destruction awaited them.
Amongst these people, none of them was able to withstand a single blow from the God Devourer Ant. Their bodies would instantly burst apart.
Under the deterrence of absolute strength, the members of the three teams quickly came under Linkâs control.
Not far away, a figureâshrouded in a blood mistâwatched from a distance, not daring to come close!
It was Bloodseeker, a Stage Three, Level 10 being!
After seeing what just happened, Bloodseekerâs entire body violently trembled as fear flickered in his eyes.
He never thought that this ordinary-looking Linkâwho was only a Stage Two existenceâcould actually kill the three leaders and capture all the members of the three teams at the same time!
How shocking was this?
Previously, Bloodseeker even wanted to suck Link dry of his blood essence.
He probably didnât know how to write the word âdieâ at that moment in time!
Bloodseeker was scared. Cold sweat uncontrollably dripped down his forehead as his heart throbbed violently. Furthermore, Bloodseeker suddenly felt lucky that Link wasnât the one who battled him just now.
If it had been Link fighting him, Bloodseeker wouldâve been one of the corpses lying on the ground!
Unable to control the fear in his heart, Bloodseeker didnât dare to stay. He turned around and ran, turning into a ray of blood-red light as he fled towards the horizon.
âAfter I successfully cultivate the Blood Demon Spell, I will come back and take revenge!â Bloodseekerâs will was shaken; he had discovered that the outside world was too terrifyingâpowerful humans and monsters appeared endlessly.
It was too dangerous. He decided that it was better to hide and finish practicing his blood spells first before coming out to cause trouble again. Bloodseeker even secretly decided to move house immediately after he returned to his base. He decided to bring the Blood Demon Altar and his other resources with him and go somewhere else...
He was afraid that Link might come looking for him.
Link was an extremely fierce existence; Bloodseeker couldnât afford to offend him!
Bloodseeker escaped very swiftly; he even abandoned the members of his Blood Fiend Gang. He was afraid that the God of Deathâs scythe would come swinging towards him the next moment if he didnât escape fast enough.
âBloodseeker... escaped?â
As they watched Bloodseeker escape, Luo Xinghe and Luo Xingyaoâs eyes rippled.
They never thought that the arrogant Bloodseekerâa demon who had reaped countless livesâwould actually run away without a fight...
This was really unexpected!
âLord, shall we chase after him?â Luo Xinghe asked. While watching his enemy run away, Luo Xinghe felt quite uncomfortable in his heart.
Although the two siblings wished to take revenge, they wished to do it personally.
âNo need to bother about him!â Link shook his head slightly. He knew long ago that Bloodseeker would escape, but Link didnât bother about dealing with him.
Bloodseekerâs strength wasnât enough to cause any trouble for him; Link had no need to be afraid of him.
