Chapter 488: Chapter 253: Attack of the Nest (Part 3)

"I also hope that in this war, fewer of our brethren will fall."

’He’s surprisingly... loyal and righteous?’

’I really couldn’t tell just by looking at him.’

"Mm, but I have other missions to attend to. You should make it quick."

Lu Cang told him to keep it short. After all, the high-drop-rate period was only three days long, and he still had more dungeons to farm.

If he let him drone on for the entire day, all his time for farming would be gone.

"Mm, since you have a mission, I’ll make it quick."

"In the beginning, when the world was new, Light and darkness were born from chaos. The Light ascended, the dark descended, and the two were clearly distinct. The Light illuminated the contours of all things, while darkness carved out their reflections. Within the darkness, Naraku was born. This was the beginning of all darkness and night..."

"Naraku carved out the world’s shadow, separating the dark from its reflection. He gave all unrest and agitation a place to reside, and thus, the world gained depth."

Lu Cang’s fists clenched instantly. ’I told you to keep it short...’

’Are you fucking starting from Naraku’s creation of the world?’

’In that case, I might as well start talking about my "Sin-Burning Karma" build.’

...

「Two hours later.」

Lu Cang gritted his teeth, having finally endured the other’s rambling.

Basically, the Insect Nest was expanding without end and had already invaded a part of the Abyss. The Insect Swarm’s growth was encroaching on the domain of darkness.

So, the forces of darkness planned to strike back and wipe out the Insect Nest entirely.

But the other Churches had no intention of providing support.

They believed it was the Dark Church’s own affair.

The Celestial Realm had not been invaded by the Insect Nest, and since there was no deep-seated animosity between them, they were not intervening.

’You took two hours of my time to explain something that could’ve been said in a few sentences?’

Lu Cang really wanted to just obliterate him.

"Are you done?" Lu Cang’s expression was grim.

"Um, well, there’s a little more, about the situation of the Insect Nest invasion in the Moon Sea and West Sea regions..."

Lu Cang said in a low tone, "Don’t bother."

"Knowing this much is enough."

For two hours, he had listened to the man ramble on. He heard about the entire history of the Dark Church, the birth of the Shadow Legion, the deployment of the Church’s experts in the Muddy Sea, Moon Sea, and Boundaryless Mountain, and the current state of the war against the Nests.

It should have all been useful information.

But for some reason, hearing it from him was just so... irritating.

"I have other missions, so I’ll be leaving."

Lu Cang’s tone was cold.

In the end, he still didn’t kill him, instead turning to leave.

Watching Lu Cang’s departing figure, E Porcelain seemed to let out a sigh of relief, beads of sweat trickling down his body.

’Such intense pressure. Being near him, I felt like I could die at any moment. I don’t know why his killing intent toward me was so strong...’

’But I survived.’

E Porcelain let out a full sigh of relief and turned to look at the completely annihilated Nest.

But after he turned his head, he let out another sigh of relief, marveling to himself: ’That Demon I just fought... it was truly fearsome.’

’It actually almost killed me...’

’A Demon of such power... Could it be... a legendary Tier Six, Sixth Shedding Demon?’

’What a close call. Good thing my skills were superior.’

’I managed to force it to retreat. It was truly a matter of life and death.’

’But... what kind of Demon was that, anyway?’

...

After leaving, Lu Cang checked the leaderboard.

At that moment, he saw that the third-place spot on the leaderboard was no longer occupied by Gurl.

In his place was... Yelieya?

Yelieya had climbed to third place with a score of one hundred and fifty thousand points.

’She actually farmed one hundred and fifty thousand points?’

’Even if a Tier Six Demon is worth 100 points, that means she had to have farmed at least 1,500 of them...’

’To kill that many in two hours is really something.’

’I wonder if she had some kind of lucky encounter, too?’

Looking further down the leaderboard, everyone else had their own scores, most of them already in the five to six thousand range.

One had to remember, under normal circumstances, even finding a single Tier Six Dungeon wasn’t easy.

But now, these guys all had such high scores.

’Everyone really has their own strengths.’

The only exception was Kumironi, who still had 0 points.

’I wonder what’s going on with him.’

Lu Cang shook his head.

’Forget it.’

’I’ve wasted too much time. If I delay any longer, my score might get overtaken.’

Lu Cang turned and walked into another Insect Nest Dungeon.

He Sacrificed one hundred thousand souls.

He walked into the Dungeon.

This time, Lu Cang paid extra attention to his surroundings. After confirming there were no stragglers around, the Pure White Tree appeared behind him.

WHOOSH—

A white ripple of destruction spread out.

In a single breath, the entire map was completely cleared.
