Chapter 982 Golden Savage Murderfest 1

2 weeks ago…

Misery and AP had just watched the Demon Captain and his three Elite Warriors commit suicide right before them. Immediately, their faces became awkward when they realized that the little bullying they did caused such hardened fellows to end it all.

Cough cough Brother, I was just playing around. Now the whole world thinks we are monsters.

Well, they went up and picked up the dropped loot. It had to be said that the drops were definitely rich as hell.

Description: This map was designed by the cartographers of the Surtur faction, which details the locations and destinations within the province controlled by Demon King Surtur.｣

Misery brought the items back and showed them to his allies, which made their faces break into slight smiles. While Rare and Epic items were usually below them, these items were the best in their Tier, with the rare weapons and armor having stats like Epic items, and this Epic map being handy for their purposes.

Shadowheart unfurled the map and watched as it began to list the places around them. He watched with interest to see that they were on the outskirts of the province, in the most remote part.

The places with life and development were hundreds of kilometers away and even this nearby town was just a village that was recently promoted.

With this much detail, the group could learn many things about the place they were in. Also, it seemed like they had to be extremely careful and less callous from now on.

From what they could tell, Rank 5 demons existed in some of the bigger towns, and Rank 6 ones existed in the cities. The Rank 7 Demons lived in the capital and were subordinates of Demon King Surtur.

Rank 5 Demons would require any of them to fight at full power to defeat, which included class and bloodline. As for Rank 6 demons, they could only beat a retreat and barely keep their lives at their current power.

As for Rank 7, please let's not talk about this.

This kind of discrepancy was only because Demons at the same tier as others were vastly more powerful. If it were Rank 5 monsters, the group could handle them without going all out, and only need to do so against Rank 6 foes.

Once again, let's not talk about Rank 7.

Realizing this, the face of the Golden Savages changed slightly. It was fine to be defeated, but how could they return to their world from here if they die? Where would they even respawn at?

Hm, it was best not to find out about this. They couldn't afford to blitz through everything they saw like before, they had to form a plan of action. As core members of Umbra, they were incredibly skilled at forming plans, which was why they decided to destroy the entire province indirectly!

The plan was simple, Nightwalker will spawn growth-type apocalypses and put them in random places, allowing them to grow silently before erupting to destroy the province.

Misery and AP will go to various demon cities in the meantime and raid all the Demon Crystals they could get. They could optionally choose to kill any demons they met on the way to increase the party's exp.

Meanwhile, Elle will protect Shadowheart while he researched Demon Crystals and the energy within, hoping to use it to create a lovely outcome for the demon race.

Everyone knew their tasks and as such, moved out with ease.

Nightwalker went to the most remote parts of the province in all directions, planting various apocalypses like the blood vine, vegetative explosion, zombie, machine, decay, etc.

Any one of these apocalypses was fit to be the endgame of any top-tier fiction, or powerful world, but they were all concentrated in one Demon Province.

Yikes!

As for Shadowheart and Elle, their time was more peaceful, especially when Valentine's Day came to pass. Shadowheart mostly spent his time discussing how to make use of this energy with Elle, as well as sharing his thoughts and discoveries.

Elle may not be a magic user, but she wasn't ignorant. The Source of Magic was complex, but it was also simple. There was also a lot of input a metagamer like her could offer to Shadow who did not have much history in gaming.

Especially when she introduced a smidgen of chaos Energy into the precarious balance of energy in the Demon Crystal, it caused a reaction they both did not predict.

The volatile balance of energies actually slightly stabilized!

No, it was more like they didn't dare to cause trouble. Chaos Energy was a higher form than Aetheric or Demonic energy, so neither of them was able to make any waves when the boss came for a visit.

This gave Shadowheart and Elle a lot of ideas, and they began warping the energy within using Chaos Energy. With Elle's current proficiency in controlling chaos energy, she could muster this much effect on the energies, changing the mixture from Aetheric and Demonic to say, Fire and Water, or Earth and Wind.

Unfortunately, due to some rules, she could not comprehend at this time, she could only change the energies into conflicting types that maintained the volatile state. She could transform them into harmonious or neutral energies and make the former Demon Crystals completely safe.

Even better, she found that she could turn the Demon Crystals into prime grenades. Just put chaos energy to stabilize the reaction, toss it towards a foe, withdraw the Chaos Energy, and watch an explosion that was 1.5 times greater than should have been.

After the Chaos Energy left, it was like the Boss who had done an inspection had just left. It was time to release all your suppressed evil and vent your insubordination to authority!

This was just one of the outcomes. Elle could also inject Chaos Energy and then have it irritate the energies within, causing the Demon Crystal to explode with 5 times the power!

It was like the boss coming over and instead acting aloof and lecturing everyone, he put his feet up on the table and started smoking crystal meth. Seeing this, the employees would share a confused look and then become excited.

Hahaha, long live the boss! It's time to cause trouble!!

Of course, this could also theoretically be achieved by throwing any mass of energy into the mixture, but doing so caused an instant super explosion. There was no time to toss it out, and you were more likely to blow yourself into bloodmist than the enemy.

This was just like being an employee in a department and one of the employees of the other department came over and start chastising all of you as if they were the boss. Naturally, you would be filled with rage and beat the fellow up.

Brothers, lets show this bastard what the meaning of humility is!! Charggee!!

Meanwhile, Misery and Ap_Berzerker had initiated their master plan to sneak into the Demon Towns and escape unscathed while taking all the items belonging to the demons.

Yeah yeah, they heard Shadowheart say to take only Demon crystals, but how was that any fun? Why rob some when you can rob all??

At the gates of a nearby demon town, two Demon guards were boredly watching the place while chatting. Even if they were the only sentient race in this plane, there were still conflicts between them and other demons.

Raids were often and battles were the norm. Otherwise, how could they claim to be a battle-hardened race that could slaughter anyone at the same tier?

The two guards were discussing the Dao of Killing when they saw two blokes rushing over while creating dustclouds. Their eyes bulged when they saw such a thing, and they couldn't help but ready up for a life-and-death battle.

However, when they saw what was approaching, their minds almost exploded. Misery and AP_Berzerker were rushing over wearing demon armor while having painted their skin red with the blood of the demons they killed.

They swaggered over with confidence, looking at the guards who looked like they had lost IQ from this sight.

"Hey there fellow Demon! How is the Demonic weather today, hahaha!" AP_Berzerker laughed while greeting.

"Tsk, tsk, the fellows of my clearly demonic race have lost a lot of their handsomeness and can't be as handsome as us!' Misery lamented openly with a sigh.

The Demon Guards just stood there and watched Misery and AP_Berzerker walk by them into the town, the other guards and people behind them also pausing on the spot as their brains exploded from the sight.

The Demons who saw the two shared a look and seemed to come to a decision, They carried on with their lives and pretended not to see the two. It was better this way, because sometimes, nothing was more important than preserving braincells.

Misery and AP continually greeted and chatted with demons as they swaggered in, until they walked into a shop and came out with a handful of Demon Crystals.

"Hahaha, we just so happened to find these on the floor! How lucky!" AP roared with laughter.

"Truly, the Demon Gods bless good little demons like us, who are clearly of the demon race!" Misery sighed with a deep look at the sky.

The owner of the shop walked out and pointed at the two, wanting to say something. However, when he heard their words, all that came out was a thick wad of blood and three of his last 6 braincells exploded on the spot.
