Chapter 174: Chapter 174: Experience The Secret Area, Exposure of His Whereabouts
Buzz!
With a ripple of spatial power, John appeared in an unfamiliar space.
"Is this the Experience Secret Area?" he wondered as he curiously surveyed his surroundings.
Lush green mountains, clear streams, and birdsong filled the air, creating a paradise-like atmosphere.
In the distance lay a dense forest, teeming with tall trees. From time to time, the growls of unknown magical beasts echoed, and occasionally, the figures of angels could be glimpsed.
John headed toward the distant forest.
Whoosh!
Just as he stepped into the woods, an arrow shot out at him.
It was fired by an archer clad in silver armor.
Thud!
-4321
The arrow hit, and John lost over 4,000 health points.
This kind of damage was trivial to him.
"A magical beast?" John was puzzled, unsure whether this figure was a magical beast or some unknown race undergoing trials in the Experience Secret Area.
Seeing the archer ready another arrow, John hesitated no longer and made his move.
Buzz!
The Three-Foot Black Dragon Sword whistled through the air, and with two strikes, he killed the archer on the spot.
[Killed level 500, tier 6 Temple Archer, gained 177,000 experience points]
[Plunder talent activated, attack speed +1]
The notification flashed. Indeed, the experience points here were tenfold.
Moreover, in the Experience Secret Area, the enemies weren't mere puppets or monsters, but actual living beings from whom attributes could be plundered.
"Onward!" John was thrilled, delving deeper into the forest.
With the tenfold experience boost, he was confident he could reach tier 9 within two months. Whoosh!
A gust swept through the forest as a large group of silver-armored guards appeared.
Temple Guards, Temple Archers, Temple Mages.
All of them were powerful warriors above tier 6.
But to John, these opponents were laughably weak.
Buzz!
The Three-Foot Black Dragon Sword split into three. Without even bothering to use skills, he unleashed his Sword Mastery, sending three cold beams of light slicing through the crowd, reaping their lives.
[Killed level 600 Temple Guard, gained 277,000 experience points]
[Killed level 700 Temple Mage, gained 377,000 experience points]
[Plunder talent activated, spirit +1]
...
The notifications flashed continuously as John swiftly slaughtered over a thousand temple soldiers, gaining a vast amount of experience points.
But he wasn't satisfied.
These Temple Guards were merely tier 6; they were too weak, and the experience they provided was insufficient.
John continued deeper into the forest, searching for stronger foes.
The forest was also home to magical beasts, most of which were above level 500 and tier 6, providing the same tenfold experience boost.
Howl!
Suddenly, the distant howls of demonic wolves and the sounds of battle reached John's ears. Curious, he moved closer.
It was a group of level 700 silver-armored demonic wolves attacking a ten-member team.
"Are they angels?" John observed the group of ten-a man and nine women-all radiating a light aura, though none of them bore wings.
He understood why, when he first entered the City of Angels, that four-winged angel Amy had mistaken him for one of them.
It turned out that angels below the seventh tier of legendary status hadn't yet developed wings. The only way to distinguish them was by the Divinity they possessed.
With a Divinity value as high as 117 points, it was no wonder he had been mistaken for an angel.
The ten-member team was composed entirely of sixth-tier epic-level warriors, a formidable force, but there were over a thousand silver-armored demon wolves surrounding them. The sheer number of wolves put them at a grave disadvantage, and they were struggling to hold their ground.
"Hey! Someone's here? Brother, help us out!" The male angel in the group spotted John and immediately called for assistance.
"Hm, no wings either?" The angel quickly noticed that John was also of the sixth tier and couldn't help but feel a wave of disappointment.
Roars and growls filled the air, mingling with the surge of bright magic.
The silver-armored demon wolves had considerable resistance to light magic and, fearless, charged relentlessly at the team.
A scream pierced the chaos as one of the angels had her arm bitten clean off by a demon wolf. Her face turned pale, and in terror, she cried out, "It's a pack of wolves! We need to find a way
took a deep breath, but rather than calming her, the thought only made her more restless.
"My Lady!" At that moment, there was a knock on the door. "What is it?" Elsa asked irritably.
The angel at the door hesitated, clearly sensing her frustration, and didn't dare to enter.
Instead, he called out loudly from behind the door, "A few of the young ones just brought
word that a Godslayer appeared in the Experience Secret Area. I suspect it's just a rumor, but should we investigate?"
"What?!" Elsa exclaimed in shock, quickly opening the door. Her expression turned cold as
she ordered, "Bring them to me immediately. I want a detailed account of what happened."
She didn't think it was a rumor.
The Secret Area of Death Worm's Nest was tied to John. It seemed he had now reached the
sixth tier and had even managed to defeat the four bosses of the Death Worm's Nest, thus
obtaining the pathway map to the City of Angels.
Fortunately, he hadn't uncovered the ultimate secret of the Death Worm's Nest.
Elsa breathed a sigh of relief.
The secret of the Death Worm's Nest was of immense importance. If something went wrong,
even the gods wouldn't spare her.
Soon, the angels that John had slain entered the grand hall, trembling as they recounted
everything that had transpired in the Experience Secret Area.
"Enough, you're dismissed," Elsa waved them off impatiently after hearing their story, and
the angels hurriedly left.
Only one figure remained in the grand hall: a ninth-tier Six-Winged Angel.
She asked with confusion, "My Lady, did the Godslayer really descend upon the Experience
Secret Area? How is that even possible?"
"It's simple. He possesses Divinity," Elsa said, a faint smile playing on her lips as she mused,
"How interesting."
"He has Divinity?" The Six-Winged Angel was stunned, her expression turning cold. "My
Lady, allow me to enter the Experience Secret Area at once and eliminate this Godslayer for good."
"No," Elsa interrupted, raising her hand to stop her. Calmly, she said, "Capture him alive. This man has secrets, and I intend to interrogate him personally."
With a casual gesture, she summoned a rope that flew in front of the Six-Winged Angel.
"The Divine Binding Rope!" The angel swallowed hard, her eyes fixated on the rope before
her.
The Divine Binding Rope was a top-tier divine artifact, rarely used by Elsa.
For her to take out such a powerful artifact just to capture this Godslayer meant that there was
something special about him.
The Six-Winged Angel couldn't help but wonder what it was that made this Godslayer so
significant.
Without daring to ask any further questions, she carefully took the rope, bowed deeply, and exited the hall.
As the doors closed behind her, silence returned to the grand chamber.
Elsa's face then broke into a sly smile as she murmured to herself, "Godslayer, from now on,
you'll be nothing more than my plaything."
...
In the Experience Secret Area.
John ventured deeper into the forest, ruthlessly slaughtering magical beasts and angels alike.
He even encountered a number of Two-Winged and Four-Winged Angels.
The most dangerous moment came when he crossed paths with a Six-Winged Angel.
Fortunately, John possessed spatial displacement abilities. Before the Six-Winged Angel could react and seal off the space, he used his Flash skill, teleporting a hundred meters away, then escaped by Sword Flight, narrowly avoiding disaster. [Killed level 1700 Elite Rakshasa, gained 8.28 million experience points]
[Your level has increased to 551. Constitution +1, Strength +5, Spirit +5, Agility +3, Free
Attribute Points +28, Skill Points +2]
[Plunder talent activated, Strength +10, Constitution +5, Agility +5]
The notification flashed as John's level rose once more, reaching 551.
He had only been in the Experience Secret Area for three days. However, it seemed like his presence had been exposed. Over the past few days, many Two-
Winged and Four-Winged Angels had appeared, and even powerful Six-Winged Angels seemed to be searching for something.
Fortunately, John had plenty of lifesaving methods at his disposal. Anytime he noticed
something unusual, he would immediately retreat into the Death Land, avoiding any direct confrontation and keeping his whereabouts hidden.
