As the Shadow Gate was smashed open, a massive group of Shadow cavalry galloped out at full speed.
On the field, the Chaotic World guild players caught by the sudden assault were instantly thrown into panic.
"Holy shit! What the hell is that?"
"Why are dungeon monsters coming out?"
Just as everyone was still reeling in shock, the very next second, an even more jaw-dropping scene appeared before everyone's eyes.
At the front, behind the ranks of Shadow cavalry, a Shadow Clan general clad in heavy shadow armor, a blood-red cloak tied across his back, his entire body radiating an aura of kingship, rode a blazing warhorse as he stepped out from the Shadow Gate.
[Dark Ruler · Riga] (Lv50 Physical Type · Tier-5 BOSS)
Buzz!
The moment the blood-red ID above the Shadow Clan general's head entered everyone's view, every single player on the scene fell straight into an existential crisis.
"Holy fack!"
"Level 50?"
"A Tier-5 BOSS?"
Just as the Chaotic World guild players were completely dumbfounded, Lin Mo, upon seeing the dungeon BOSS Dark Ruler chase out from the dungeon, instead felt a wave of relief.
A bizarre smile spread across his face, "You really did come out."
The dungeon still had two minutes left on the timer and hadn't ended yet.
If he fully used these two remaining minutes, at the very least, Lin Mo could have squeezed out another one or two million in profit inside the Shadow Holy Hall.
So why would he give up such enormous gains and come out early?
Because Lin Mo knew that during this period, the Shadow Gate would still remain open to the Shadow Clan.
That meant that during this time, the external Shadow legions could enter the dungeon through the Shadow Gate, and the Dark Ruler could also lead the Shadow cavalry to charge out of the Shadow Holy Hall dungeon into the outside world.
Lin Mo glanced at the time and muttered, "If nothing unexpected happens, after two minutes, the Shadow Gate will close, and the BOSS along with the Shadow legions will all be forcibly teleported back into the dungeon by the system."
After all, this was a game world.
According to the game's story setting, the Shadow Holy Hall dungeon was ultimately the Dark Ruler's destined home.
But, right now, for Chaotic World players who were only in their early twenties level-wise, the appearance of this level 50 Tier-5 mega-BOSS was undoubtedly an unprecedented catastrophe.
Only in Lin Mo's eyes was the Dark Ruler's appearance a form of salvation.
Because Lin Mo knew what the situation outside was like, and he had already guessed that the moment he exited the dungeon, he would be trapped deep within the encirclement of the Chaotic World army. At that point, relying on himself alone to break through would be next to impossible.
So he deliberately left two minutes, luring the BOSS out, using this level 50 Tier-5 BOSS to help him break out.
At the same time—
Whoosh!
The Dark Ruler suddenly pointed his sword at Lin Mo and barked an order to the Shadow cavalry around him, "Kill him!"
Lin Mo stared at the Dark Ruler, inexplicably excited, "Come on! I've been waiting for you!"
With that, Lin Mo took the Shadow Codex out of his backpack.
His gaze shifted to a spot not far away, landing on the Chaotic World guild's strategist, Chaotic World Zhuge.
The next second, without any hesitation, Lin Mo flung the Shadow Codex straight at Chaotic World Zhuge.
Thud!
The heavy dark-gold scroll landed perfectly at Chaotic World Zhuge's feet.
Chaotic World Zhuge picked it up in confusion.
"This is…"
Before Chaotic World Zhuge could even react, he suddenly felt an overwhelming force suppressing him, his legs completely unable to move.
At the same time.
Slash!
A massive greatsword crashed down from the sky, piercing straight through Chaotic World Zhuge's body.
-60635!
A damage number so outrageous it made one question reality instantly erased Chaotic World Zhuge.
Whoosh!
As white light lit up, the Shadow Codex that Chaotic World Zhuge had just obtained for less than half a second dropped back onto the ground.
———
At the same time, at the resurrection spring in Blazing Ember City—
Chaotic World Zhuge stood there looking completely blank, but in the next instant, he snapped back to his senses.
"That scroll! The dungeon BOSS is after that scroll!"
"For Rulebound to go through all that trouble to bring it out of the dungeon, and for even the dungeon BOSS to chase out of the dungeon for it, that means the scroll must be extremely valuable!"
Nearby, Wang Junjie listened in complete confusion, "What the fack are you babbling about? Get smacked stupid or what?"
Chaotic World Zhuge pushed his glasses, his face filled with excitement, "Brother Jie! There's a treasure in Shadow City that Rulebound brought out of the dungeon! Hurry!"
"Hurry and tell the brothers, no matter what, they must snatch that dark-gold scroll that just dropped from me."
Even though he didn't quite understand, the moment Wang Junjie heard the word "treasure," his blood immediately boiled.
"Treasure?"
"Oh yeah! Good stuff!"
In his excitement, Wang Junjie immediately opened the guild chat, tagged all Chaotic World members, and relayed the order according to Chaotic World Zhuge's reminder, ["All brothers currently in Shadow City, whoever picks up the Shadow Codex and brings it to me will get a bonus of one million and be promoted to vice guild leader of Chaotic World!"]
———
The moment these words were spoken, the Chaotic World guild players in Shadow City, who had been on the verge of fleeing under the oppressive presence of the sudden Tier-5 BOSS, all came to a stop.
One million bonus!
Promotion to vice guild leader!
In an instant, every Chaotic World player on the scene fixed their eyes on the dark-gold scroll lying on the ground where Chaotic World Zhuge had just died.
The next second.
Buzz!
Everyone went completely insane, scrambling madly toward the scroll's location.
To seize the scroll, they didn't even hesitate to slaughter their own people.
"It's mine! Give it to me!"
"Fack off! Whoever grabs it gets it!"
"You dare steal my scroll? Die!!"
Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash!
Amid the chaos of internal slaughter, several Chaotic World players were cut down by their own allies.
In the end, the Shadow Codex fell into the hands of a level 21 mage youth, Chaotic World Xiao Xiong.
His face was filled with wild joy.
"One million!"
"The vice guild leader position!"
"Hahaha! It's mine! It's all mine!"
Before his words had even finished.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
Dozens of Shadow cavalry rode past on shadow warhorses, and Chaotic World Xiao Xiong was instantly erased.
Thud!
The Shadow Codex, which had the property of guaranteed drop on death, fell back onto the ground.
Around it, Chaotic World players swarmed in again, desperately resisting the Shadow cavalry while madly scrambling for the scroll.
At this moment, the attention of everyone in Chaotic World was completely focused on the Shadow Codex. No one bothered with Lin Mo anymore.
And not far away, Lin Mo stood within a safe zone, quietly watching the scene unfold, a playful look in his eyes.
Watching a crowd of humans slaughter his most elite Shadow Iron Cavalry right in front of him, and brazenly fight over the Shadow Clan's most precious item, the Shadow Codex, the Shadow Clan chieftain, Dark Ruler · Riga, was furious beyond measure.
"Greedy humans, all of you can go to hell for this king!"
With a furious roar, the Dark Ruler spurred his blazing warhorse forward.
He drew the King's Authority Sword from where it was embedded in the ground.
Swish!
The sword pointed toward the heavens.
Above, lightning flashed and thunder roared.
The next second.
Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash!
Centered on the Dark Ruler, countless sword phantoms rained down from the sky, covering a massive area with a radius of one hundred yards around him.
A-rank skill: Sword Shadow Storm!
-36532!
-35284!
-36112!
-34...!
Amid a chorus of agonized screams, over a hundred Chaotic World players in the surrounding area were instantly wiped out.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Hundreds of pillars of white light shot into the sky, illuminating the entire Shadow City.
Around the Dark Ruler, there was nothing but deathly silence.
The Shadow Codex once again lay scattered on the ground among countless drops.
This scene left the Chaotic World players on the outer edge, who had narrowly escaped, pale with fear.
"Fack! This Tier-5 BOSS… is terrifying!"
"Way too broken!!"
Even so, the fear in the players' hearts still couldn't outweigh the temptation of a one-million bonus.
After all, they were just ordinary people working for Wang Junjie for money.
One million might be nothing more than the cost of a single meal to Wang Junjie.
But for these ordinary people, it was money they could never earn in an entire lifetime.
And even if they died once, it was nothing more than losing one level.
"Charge!"
Amid earth-shaking shouts, Chaotic World players surged endlessly toward the Shadow Codex.
"Looking for death!"
The Dark Ruler wielded the King's Authority Sword and charged into the crowd.
Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash!
With each swing, heads fell.
Wherever he passed, nothing survived.
And Lin Mo, from a distance, quietly enjoyed this spectacular show.
At the same time, he was fully prepared to reel in the net at any moment.
