Chapter 484: 268 Round Two Begins_2
But in reality, when a civilization develops to have supreme, primordial god-level existences, such a world couldn’t possibly be too bad.
At least, the home base of the Fallen Devils doesn’t feel primitive or backwards.
Even, as a captive, it’s quite an eye-opening experience for Dean McKenzie.
The entire base is built on a big mountain.
But this mountain is not a naturally formed one. Instead, it is made out of resources used to create artifacts.
The materials of the mountain, like an artifact itself, are astonishingly precious. Its treasure was not just constructed by simply stacking these materials into the shape of a mountain. Dean McKenzie could feel that the threat this mountain imposes on him go beyond that of a primordial god – it’s terrifying beyond measure.
On top of the mountain, various buildings and magic seals make the whole mountain shine brightly.
However, Dean McKenzie did not get a chance to take a closer look before he was locked deep within the mountain.
Here Dean McKenzie saw the crazy woman who had halted the Fallen Devils before, also confined.
On the one hand, Dean McKenzie was casually thrown into a prison cell.
On the other, the mad woman was detained in a precious cage, wrapped in layer upon layer of seals.
Furthermore, sitting next to the mad woman was, a Fallen Devil, with absolutely focused attention, of primordial god level.
This left Dean McKenzie puzzled.
Why would the Fallen Devils go so far to make problems for themselves?
Why should they take so much caution?
If they were afraid of her escape, she only became trouble when they tried to catch her, didn’t she?
Wouldn’t she have run far away without the capture?
If it is that impossible then why not kill her? Shouldn’t that be a better solution compared to the cautious measures they are taking now?
Jus when Dean McKenzie was feeling confused, the mad woman suddenly opened her eyes, looked straight at Dean McKenzie and started speaking: “Save our youngsters!”
“What?”
Dean McKenzie was taken aback without reacting in time. But then the Fallen Devil of primordial-god level, who was in charge of guarding, couldn’t stand it anymore.
“Shut up, keep your mouth shut!”
He howled at the madwoman. When his primordial god-level power exploded, she didn’t even glance at him and started talking to Dean McKenzie again: “They want to use the reincarnation artifact to transfer their souls into our youngsters’ bodies. You have to prevent them, absolutely, you can’t… ”
“I told you to shut up!”
The Fallen Devil of primordial god level yelled. He abruptly cast a spell at the cage, interrupting the madwoman’s speech. Meanwhile, he shifted his dominating god-level threatening aura to Dean McKenzie.
Under this powerful aura, Dean McKenzie felt like his mind went blank instantly.
When Dean McKenzie managed to snap out of this state, the mad woman next to him had disappeared.
After that, Dean McKenzie was ushered into his long confinement.
During this time, nobody attempted to torment or torture Dean McKenzie physically, but sometimes he wished they had.
It’s not that Dean McKenzie possessed some aberrant fetish, nor was it a wish to escape. Instead, this time in confinement was too unbearable.
They sealed Dean McKenzie’s divine power and confined him in a small world.
Dean McKenzie was incapable of doing anything.
There wasn’t anyone or anything around him.
It was just Dean McKenzie, a single room, and solitude he was enduring.
Utter boredom, the extreme of loneliness and isolation.
Such existence could drive anyone mad.
In the world where Dean McKenzie came from, if someone was asked to put down their phone and sit idle for ten minutes, they would probably fail. And now, Dean McKenzie was left in such a situation for an unknown duration of time.
Whenever Dean McKenzie was ready to sleep, those Fallen Devils made it chaotic for him.
They used various tactics to prevent Dean McKenzie from sleeping, forcing him to face endless loneliness, almost driving him insane.
Talking to himself in the cell, singing there, almost running around naked there.
Just as Dean McKenzie was on the verge of collapsing, a system notification refreshed.
[The second round of the Twilight Battlefield Instance is opening, please prepare to enter the battlefield!]
This sudden notification almost made Dean McKenzie cry out of joy.
“Finally, it wasn’t easy. I’ve been waiting for this!”
[The second round of the Twilight Battlefield has been initiated, you will be teleported onto the battlefield!]
[Three, two, one!]
In the next second, Dean McKenzie vanished directly from the prison.
At the same moment Dean McKenzie disappeared, the Fallen Devil in charge of watching him immediately noticed this development and reported it up.
The Primordial God Level Fallen Devil who received this message was very pleased.
“Three years have passed, the second round has finally started!”
“When this instance ends, that human will breathe his last!”
The next second, a Primordial God Level Fallen Devil arrived in the prison where Dean McKenzie had been held for three years.
He was there, waiting for Dean McKenzie.
As long as Dean McKenzie would fail in his instance challenge and appear, he would slay him.
Meanwhile, on Dean McKenzie’s side.
He had already been teleported onto the Twilight Battlefield.
Just as he arrived, system prompts started to refresh before his eyes.
[You have successfully entered the Twilight Battlefield, this round is the second round of the battlefield. As you have already chosen the War mode, you will not be able to choose any other challenge modes in this instance, but you can choose the direction of your instance rewards!
1, Legion strength
2, Personal strength]
Seeing the refreshing system prompts before his eyes, Dean McKenzie chose the latter without any hesitation.
[You have chosen the reward path as Personal Strength. Next, your instance rewards will be calculated based on your performance in the instance!]
[The second round of the Twilight Battlefield consists of two stages: first, Endless Monsters!
You and your Legion will be teleported to a city. This city will face an infinite monster siege. Please protect this city and hold out until the end!
ps: You can stop the challenge at any time if you cannot hold on, the instance challenge will end as soon as you stop, and you will receive the instance rewards immediately, and you will be teleported out of the instance immediately!
pss: You need to hold out until you reach the top 500 to enter the second stage!]
[Are you ready?]
Dean McKenzie took a deep breath and nodded heavily.
The next second, he appeared atop a city wall.
It was a city that was small to the extreme, with a perimeter of only 150 meters by 150 meters, and apart from the city wall and an altar in the middle, there were virtually no other structures.
The core of the city was placed on the altar in the center. Once the core was shattered, Dean McKenzie’s challenge would also end.
As he surveyed the city, he opened the Land of Bone, a place he hadn’t accessed in a while, prepared to let his Bone Legion out.
But when he opened the Land of Bone, the system prompts refreshed.
[Your Small World [Bone World] has been promoted, its level has been raised to [Tiny World]!]
[Your World Skill [Power of World] has been promoted!]
As the system prompts refreshed, Dean McKenzie could feel a surge of strength flowing into his body, giving him a sudden ten percent boost in power.
How could he describe the increase? It was there, but it was not much!
However, there wasn’t time for Dean McKenzie to think about this at the time. He quickly summoned the Bone Legion and arrayed them in front of the city.
But the city was too small, completely unable to accommodate his army of 100,000 troops.
Thus, Dean McKenzie could only place the ranged units inside the city and the melee units outside.
Finally, having filled the city three layers deep, he managed to bring out his troops in full force.
Just as Dean McKenzie had arranged his army of 100,000, a thunderclap roared in the sky.
Immediately afterward, countless monsters descended, surrounding the little city where Dean McKenzie was.
The system prompts refreshed.
[The Instance Challenge has officially started, the Clan ranking has been opened!]
At the same time, a lengthy leaderboard appeared before Dean McKenzie. At first sight, he saw the rank of his Wraith Army.
(Rank 9001 (Bone Wraith Army) (10,000 soldiers) Average Level: 251)
Ranked first was:
No. 1 (Holy Light Angel Corps) (300,000 soldiers) Average Level: 402)
