Sacrifice's Rise: I Became Invincible After Entering Godslayer Temple-Chapter 69 68-Opening the Dark Spirit Realm Gate

Smirk nodded, carefully noting down everything John said.

"You're not going to twist my words in your report, are you?" John asked, still a bit worried.a

Smirk laughed, "Absolutely not! Trust my professionalism, I'll only report the truth."

John nodded, "Good. Nowadays, all sorts of reporters will say anything for views. I don't want my intentions to be distorted."

"I definitely won't let that happen. I take the authenticity of the news very seriously," assured Smirk.

They continued their chat for a while, mainly Smirk asking questions and John providing answers.

About half an hour later, Smirk checked the time and said to John, "Thank you for stepping in to save that girl. Your brave act showed me that there really are heroes in this world who will risk their own safety to save others... And thank you for accepting my interview."

John replied with a smile, "You're welcome, it was the right thing to do."

Smirk stood up and walked over to John.

As she bent down, her perfect curves were accentuated under her robe.

She leaned into John and whispered in his ear, "Just a side note, from my perspective, you're incredibly charming."

"I hope we can meet again in the future."

Without waiting for John's response, she stepped away and left.

Only a refreshing, enticing fragrance lingered in the air.

John was left a bit stunned, unsure why Smirk would say something like that to him.

However, he quickly shook it off and regained his composure.

He laughed and shook his head; this girl was quite something.

John sat in the tavern for a while.

Suddenly, a message popped up in his friend list—

Blue Sea: You online?

John: Been online.

Blue Sea: So early? Don't expect overtime pay from me.

John: Fair enough, I'll draw a big monster in the Dark Spirit Realm for you to practice on.

Blue Sea: I was joking, whenever you log in, that's when we start counting overtime.

John: I was joking too, do you think I need money?

Blue Sea: You're not short on cash now? That's good. Of course, you wouldn't be, considering how successful you are at "GodSlayer".

John: Enough chat, where are we meeting?

Blue Sea: I'm bringing people to the Glorious Bar in ten minutes, wait for me there.

John: Okay, I'm already here.

Blue Sea: On my way.

...

After closing the chat window, John waited for about ten minutes in a private room in the bar before Blue Sea walked in.

It's fair to say, the guy was punctual.

"So eager? Looks like you guys can't wait to explore the Dark Spirit Realm." John slid a beer in front of Blue Sea, teasing him with a grin.

Blue Sea downed the beer, wiped the foam from his lips, and said, "Can't help it, I dream about getting that Level 4 Guild Establishment Order!"

John patted Blue Sea's shoulder.

As friends, he knew how stubborn Blue Sea could be.

Unlike him, a lone wolf, Blue Sea's greatest dream was to build the number one guild in the world.

To achieve this dream, he'd sacrifice anything.

"In that case, let's not waste any more time. Let's take a trip to the Dark Spirit Realm now!"

John, Blue Sea, and the rest of the guild members left the tavern and headed north, out of the city.

As they traveled, members of Blue Sea's guild kept stealing glances at John.

These folks hadn't participated in the attack on the Wolf guild, and they weren't familiar with John's identity.

So, they were curious.

Just who was this guy who managed to treat their seemingly unreachable guild leader, Blue Sea, as an equal, and even command a hint of respect?

A few members covertly cast detect spells on John, only to get the name "Galewind", with all other data reading: ???.

John's identity seemed even more mysterious in their eyes!

They rode at a gallop, crossing vast grasslands.

The team reached a quiet valley in the north.

The valley, unlike the surrounding vibrant grasslands, experienced a drastic environmental shift as they entered.

It was utterly desolate.

All plants were dead, and flocks of black crows circled the sky.

There were no other living creatures in sight!

"There's a level 75 elite boss hiding at the very bottom of this valley. As long as we defeat it, we can open the entrance to the Dark Spirit Realm!" Blue Sea walked at the front with John, quietly explaining.

"Luckily, we still have one drop of Silver Tear left. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to challenge such a high-level elite boss lightly."

John glanced at him nonchalantly, "Is a level 75 elite boss that strong?"

Blue Sea replied with a bitter smile, "For a freak like you, it's nothing. But we don't have that kind of power."

John sighed, "It seems like you guys really don't know anything about the Dark Spirit Realm. Any random minor boss in there won't be weaker than this one guarding the entrance. Elite bosses of level 100 and above are all over the place in the Dark Spirit Realm!"

Blue Sea's confident expression froze. "How can it be so brutal?"

"You think? That's heaven for the undead and spirits," John said casually, waving his hand.

Blue Sea's face was uncertain, caught in a dilemma.

He unconditionally believed John's explanation.

If John said there were bosses of level 100 and above in the Dark Spirit Realm, then it must be true.

"Maybe we shouldn't bring so many people. Just you, me, and Seth sneak in, get it done quickly. If we can't get Ethan's key, we pull out and come back when we're higher level!"

Blue Sea gritted his teeth, making a decision.

In his view, if the Dark Spirit Realm was truly as John described, this treasure hunt was almost hopeless.

Blue Sea had brought nearly all of the top players from his guild in hopes of obtaining the tool to open the treasure chest.

Among the twenty or so people behind him, there were tanks, warriors, priests, assassins, archers, and more.

From tanks to DPS, healers to crowd control, they had it all - a perfect line-up.

Originally, they thought that after entering the Dark Spirit Realm, their exploration team could plow through to their destination.

But now, it seemed bringing a large group would only attract more boss aggro.

The chances of failure were even higher.

Just as Blue Sea was about to turn back and arrange for the other members to withdraw, John waved his hand dismissively, "No worries, let's all go in together."

Surprised, Blue Sea asked, "But won't we be attacked by more high-level bosses that way?"

John replied casually, "So what? If any boss dares to attack us, we'll kill them all." 𝐛𝗲𝗱𝐧𝐨𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝐜𝐨𝐦

Blue Sea was at a loss for words.

Such a casual 'we'll kill them all'.

How powerful must you be to make such a statement?

Those are level 100 and above elite bosses, not some low-level monsters!

Seeing John so confident, Blue Sea felt a lot more reassured.

"It's a good thing we asked you for help. If we had rushed into the Dark Spirit Realm recklessly, we'd probably have been annihilated without getting the key," Blue Sea said, filled with emotion.

John smiled slightly, "Enough, there's no need for us to be so formal. Let's deal with the boss guarding the entrance quickly."

Without any further ado, Blue Sea led his team deeper into the valley.

Shortly after, a deafening roar echoed from the depths of the valley.

A gigantic black spider, two to three meters tall and covered in spikes, rushed out.

Its eight legs were covered in green pustules, with bones spurs protruding in all directions.

It seemed rather imposing.

Above its head, the information displayed:

[Klark Spider Demon (Elite Boss)]

[Race: Undead]

[Level: 75]

[Attributes: ...]

Blue Sea had previously stated that they could handle the entrance boss themselves, so John crossed his arms and showed no intention of stepping in.

Blue Sea, meanwhile, directed his team members to first firmly draw the boss's aggro.

Then, he took out the last drop of Silver Tear with a pained expression and threw it at the Klark Spider Demon.

This single drop of Silver Tear was worth 300,000!

Even for a spendthrift like Blue Sea, it was a bit painful.

Fortunately, the Silver Tear's execution effect was as powerful as ever.

It could one-shot any undead boss below level 100.

The moment the Silver Tear hit the Klark Spider Demon, terrifying damage values popped up:

-100000!

The spider demon's angry roar abruptly ended.

The next second, its massive body crashed to the ground.

It then turned into a beam of light and vanished, leaving only a glittering chest in its place.

Blue Sea sighed, "As expected of the Silver Tear's execution effect. It's just a shame that this was the last drop. Otherwise, entering the Dark Spirit Realm this time would be much easier."

"You're overthinking it. The majority of bosses in the Dark Spirit Realm exceed the Silver Tear's execution level," John chuckled beside him, "Don't worry, I'm here."

As they spoke, a faint light lit up the deepest part of the valley.

The light gradually spun and eventually turned into a green gate.

A rotten smell emanated from behind the gate.

The crows above immediately flew away, restlessly circling, driven by instinct to stay away from this place!

The entrance to the Dark Spirit Realm had been opened!
