101: Chapter 101 Seven Star Mission!
"Is that badge absolutely necessary?"
Allen frowned.
He knew the rules, but his patience was truly limited.
Several God-level Experts drinking nearby burst into laughter.
"Where did this nouveau riche come from?"
"Does he think because he was a local warlord in his material plane, he can run wild in Hell?"
"He hasn't even passed the Fiend assessment, yet he wants to see the Castle Lord? Is he dreaming!"
Hell never lacks mockery and sarcasm.
They had seen plenty of these inexperienced Highgods before.
Allen cast a cold glance at those people.
The previously noisy corner fell into instant silence.
Those people felt a sharp pain in their brains, as if thousands of steel needles had been driven into them.
Cold sweat broke out on them, and they nearly fell off their stools.
Soul attack.
And it was an extremely sophisticated micro-manipulation.
The Bunny Girl's heart trembled; this kind of technique was definitely not something an ordinary Highgod possessed.
"My Lord, please calm your anger."
She hurriedly bowed to apologize, her cleavage swaying in front of Allen.
"The rules of Tianning City were decreed by the Overgod; we are just the ones running errands."
"If you wish to see the Castle Lord, the fastest way is to first register your identity as a Fiend."
"With your strength, obtaining a star-rated badge is only a matter of time."
Allen stroked the hilt of his zhan tian sword.
Killing these people was easy, but if he wanted to stay in Tianning City, he couldn't break the Overgod's rules.
"How do I register?"
The Bunny Girl breathed a sigh of relief and quickly pointed the way.
"Please follow me to the second floor; there is a specialized Godhead detector there."
Stepping onto the second floor.
The environment here was noticeably quieter than the first floor.
Several elderly-looking Highgods were sitting on a bench, resting with their eyes closed.
They were the clerks here.
Allen walked to the counter and placed his hand on a white crystal ball.
Hum.
The crystal ball instantly erupted with a crimson light.
The light was as intense as blood, even carrying a heat that made it difficult to breathe.
"Attribute: Fire."
"Realm: Highgod."
The clerk lifted his cloudy eyes and looked at Allen with some surprise.
This level of purity in fire-type Divine Power was rare.
"Name?"
"Allen Dawson."
The clerk recorded it quickly on the parchment in his hand.
Afterward, he took out a purple badge engraved with four sharp corners from the drawer.
"Newly registered Highgods are granted a Four-Star Fiend badge by default."
"You can enjoy some of the intelligence services within the castle."
"But to see the Castle Lord, you need a Seven-Star badge."
Allen took the badge, the metal feeling slightly cool to the touch.
"Where can I pick up Seven-Star missions?"
He didn't want to waste time on these trivial matters.
The clerk adjusted his monocle, his tone becoming serious.
"Young man, Seven-Star missions correspond to Seven-Star Fiends."
"They are among the top predators in Hell."
"Over the past tens of thousands of years, the number of Highgods who have died from challenging those above their rank could fill the city moat outside."
He pointed to the black mission wall behind him.
"The row at the very top is the Seven-Star level."
Allen didn't respond and turned directly toward the mission wall.
The wall was plastered with all kinds of bounties and secret orders.
Most ordinary Fiend missions were for escorting merchant caravans or gathering certain planar herbs.
But at the very top, the text of those few missions was written in Highgod blood.
It exuded a nauseating Evil Qi.
[Mission 1: Infiltrate the Blood Evil Canyon and retrieve a Blood Demon Heart.]
[Mission 2: Hunt down the traitorous Elder Moro of Tianning Prefecture.]
[Mission 3: Explore the third level of the Endless Abyss and bring back the Legacy item of the Qien Family.]
Allen scanned the wall.
Soon, his gaze locked onto the second mission.
Moro. A newly broken-through Seven-Star Fiend.
Such an opponent was just right for a warm-up.
"I'll take this one, hunt down Moro."
Allen pointed to the mission slip.
The hall fell silent instantly.
Even those few clerks from before stood up.
"My Lord, are you sure?"
The Bunny Girl who had received Allen earlier widened her eyes.
"Moro is very strong."
"There have already been no fewer than ten Six-Star Fiends who have died at his hands."
Allen tapped the counter impatiently.
"Address."
The clerk was silent for a moment, then handed over a sealed scroll.
"He is in the depths of the Mist Forest in the north of Tianning City."
"There is a natural illusion array there, which is extremely difficult to track."
"Good luck, Fiend Allen."
The other party clearly didn't think Allen would be able to return alive.
In this Hell where human life is as cheap as grass, the outcome of arrogance is usually only death.
Allen took the scroll and turned to leave the castle.
At this moment, on the streets of Tianning City, several sneaky figures quietly followed him.
They were hunting dogs prowling in the darkness.
They specialized in targeting newcomers who had just entered the city and acted wealthy.
"Boss, that kid took the mission for Moro."
"Likely some young master from a big Family who hasn't seen the world."
"Should we intercept him midway?"
A short dark figure asked in a low voice.
The burly man known as the boss snorted coldly.
"What's the rush?"
"Wait until he and Moro are both heavily injured, then we'll make our move."
They licked their lips greedily.
But they didn't know that the fat sheep they were targeting was actually a destructive beast in sheep's clothing.
Allen left the city.
He released his sword-shaped metal lifeform again.
Of course, he sensed the tail behind him, but he didn't care.
Some trash needs to be accumulated to a certain amount before being dealt with; it saves effort.
One month later. The edge of the Mist Forest.
The miasma here carried strong corrosiveness.
If an ordinary Saint-level Expert inhaled just one breath, their lungs would rot instantly.
Even a Midgod would need to raise a Divine Power shield to proceed.
Allen put away his flying ship and stepped into the thick fog.
The surrounding visibility dropped rapidly, and his Divine Sense was also heavily interfered with.
This kind of illusion array not only interfered with vision but also tugged at a person's emotions.
"Save me..."
"Big brother, why haven't you come back yet?"
The shouts of Yale and his Family rang in his ears.
Allen's expression remained calm, and his footsteps didn't even pause.
His state of mind had already been as steady as a rock during his bitter cultivation in the material plane.
This kind of low-level illusion couldn't even penetrate his Divine Power shield.
"Get lost."
Allen gave a light shout.
The thick fog around him, as if encountering a gale, was instantly blown away, creating a vacuum zone.
Deep in the mist. In front of a dilapidated stone house, an old man in grey robes was sitting cross-legged.
A dark red battle blade lay across his lap.
The light that occasionally flowed across the blade made the surrounding space tremble slightly.
This was Moro.
He opened his eyes, his dead-fish-like eyeballs staring in the direction where the mist had dissipated.
"A Fiend from the Demon Castle?"
"The person who came this time has a nice scent."
He stood up, and a twisted aura of destruction emanated from his body.
This aura, like a tide, instantly enveloped the entire forest.
"A fire-type Highgod?"
Moro sneered, the long, narrow scar at the corner of his mouth appearing particularly terrifying.
"I was just worrying that my Soul energy wasn't enough to make the final Breakthrough."
"You delivering yourself to my door is quite a generous gift."
