After turning the corner and going down these steps, you'll reach the next floor.
The steps are old and dilapidated in many places.
Before Liu Nian could even get a clear look at the terrain downstairs, a group of dark demons rushed out from the shadows.
Instantly, shouts from numerous Lacanicula echoed throughout the passage.
A dense rain of arrows descended from the stairwell—a greeting from the skeleton archers.
The advantage of the high ground is evident, and the skeleton archers have night vision, making them immune to dark terrain.
In conclusion, the first dark demon to step forward was riddled with arrows and died from being pierced by a thousand arrows.
Of course, the dark wizard hiding in the shadows was not to be outdone and instantly revived it.
Unfortunately, it only lasted three seconds after coming back to life before the arriving skeleton warrior cleaved its skull in two, causing it to fall to the ground again.
Numerous skeleton warriors trampled over its body, and it gradually turned into a puddle of mud, unable to be resurrected.
Enraged, the wizard hurled a large fireball from the darkness, which struck the skeleton warrior. The skeleton warrior was only knocked back a few steps by the impact of the fireball before regaining his footing and continuing to walk towards the Dark Demon.
This also revealed its location. The vampire instantly locked onto the wizard's scent and transformed into a swarm of bats, flying towards the dark wizard.
After flying to the wizard's side, the vampire gradually transformed into human form in the wizard's terrified eyes. Then, with a slight lift of its hand, it drained the dark wizard's life force, turning him into a dried-up corpse.
The dark demons beside the wizard were startled and scattered in terror.
The skeleton warriors advanced in neat square formations, quickly killing all the dark demons in the room.
Liu Nian stared at the card that had fallen from her hand, her expression unreadable.
A bowl of spicy crayfish
Note: Best enjoyed with ice-cold beer!
Greed Amulet (Small)
Effect: Increases the total amount of crowns gained by 5%.
Note: Put it in your backpack and you will become happy!
It manifests as a small, round amulet, about the size of a palm.
Liu Nian held it in his hand and examined it repeatedly. It appeared to be made of gold, with a smiling goblin wearing a top hat engraved on the front and an unknown inscription on the back.
The note said to put it in the backpack, but Liu Nian was skeptical, unsure if it would work in her inventory.
Throw them all into the space.
Walking forward, there was another wooden door. The corrupting demon behind the door came running out from the shadows as soon as it heard the door open.
The battle didn't last long. After becoming familiar with their skills, Liu Nian had no worries and could go all out.
Under the powerful attack of the summoned creatures, they did not last long and perished along with the Dark Demon.
After circling around most of the dungeon, no new monsters appeared in this level.
This floor doesn't have a network of interconnected rooms; there's only one road leading to the end.
In the room we are in now, a section of the floor has collapsed, forming a pool of blood.
The summoned creatures were fighting the Darkfallen guards here, while Liu Nian was observing the blood pool.
The blood pool was filled with bubbles, which burst from time to time. Countless unidentifiable remains were thrown into it, and a strong smell of decay spread from the blood pool to the outside.
Liu Nian suspected that the smell he had detected at the entrance of the instance came from here.
A woman dressed in a religious robe was tied to the wooden stake in the very center. She appeared to have been dead for some time, and her body was slightly decomposed.
He turned his head away, no longer wanting to look at the tragic scene.
The battle over there is also nearing its end.
With a scream, the last goat-headed man was torn to pieces by the skeleton warriors. It was attacked from all sides, and its fallen body looked just like a leaky bellows.
Liu Nian looked at the cards in her hand; they were all resource cards.
While secretly marveling at his luck, he opened the blood-stained wooden door.
This room was much more spacious than the others, but before Liu Nian could take a closer look, a group of dark demons shouting "Vakanichu" surged out from the depths of the room.
"Heh... quite a few this time!" Liu Nian commanded the skeleton warriors to push forward.
Ghouls and vampires are waiting for the dark wizard to make his move.
Familiarity with the nature of monsters is key to success, and sure enough, the impatient dark wizard threw three fireballs from the shadows.
It looks like there are three wizards; this is a bit troublesome.
This is a settlement of three small teams of dark demons.
But it was only a little troublesome, as Liu Nian unleashed a death wave that swept across the entire corner.
As the vampire chased the wounded dark wizard, his brow furrowed slightly.
She saw, deep within the room, a figure sitting on a bone throne.
"Interesting!" The vampire licked his full lips excitedly, then returned to his calm demeanor.
Liu Nian didn't notice the vampire's movements; at that moment, a notification sounded in his mind that the dark wizard had been killed.
With all three wizards dead, this group of dark demons is nothing but a rabble.
As expected, an accident occurred: while chasing the fleeing Dark Demon, the ghoul accidentally wandered into the depths of the room.
After letting out a miserable scream, the Dark Demon was easily torn apart by the ghoul's claws.
It licked the blood off its paws, and just as it was about to devour the corpse, it failed to notice that the figure on the throne in the shadows had risen and was rapidly approaching it.
The ghoul was excitedly devouring the dark demon's corpse when suddenly its limbs were pierced by sharp claws from behind, and it screamed as it was torn to pieces in mid-air.
"A bunch of ants... how dare they..." It disgustedly bathed in the ghoul's acidic blood and walked toward the summoned creature inside the house.
The ghoul's corrosive blood had absolutely no effect on it.
Your summoned ghoul has been killed.
Upon hearing this, Liu Nian's heart was stirred.
What kind of unit can kill ghouls in a short time?
The thought that it was absolutely impossible for a dark demon made him wary.
The skeleton warriors had already killed the last dark demon and were now assembling into their array.
A tall figure walked out from the depths of the room.
The newcomer had fiery red, towering hair, and only a short skirt stained with blood covered her private parts; the rest of her body was completely exposed.
Four dark red claws extended from her back behind her hot figure, giving her a dangerously alluring beauty.
She walked barefoot through the dilapidated room, crushing the small bricks into powder under her feet.
After scanning everyone with his brown eyes, he finally fixed his gaze on Liu Nian.
"You...not bad!" Her broken voice ruined her beauty.
No wonder this place felt so familiar; it turns out this is the famous Scarlet Monastery.
As she approached, Liu Nian finally remembered her name.
Andariel, one of the four lesser demons of Hell!
Liu Nian raised his alert level to the maximum. As a former gamer, he knew how terrifying Andariel was, even if this was just one of her projections.
