Guild Wars-Novel

Currently, the Evil Trio were somewhere around level level 112 of Rank 3, still at the entry level. After all, they gained only 0.001% of all experience, and it was already hard enough for those with 100% experience to rise through the levels regardless of their skill.

Even after killing Rank 7 NPCs repeatedly and by the hundreds, they only climbed like 12 levels. This was also with the slaughter of over 30 million players in front of Vita Kingdom, but that one only contributed like 2 levels out of the 12.

To summarize, leveling up for the Evil Trio was a herculean task. Not to mention that they were three, so whatever they earned was split between the three of them before being subjected to the cruelty of their class.

So the effort they would need to put into to level up was so heavy and herculean that I would cause any regular person to vomit just visualizing it.

This was definitely fair from the AI as unrestricted growth would put a burden on it. Imagine with their abilities that they could reach Rank 7 easily. At that time, just their class based power would be as bad as their unsealed Eternal bloodlines.

The AI needed time to adapt to this power, and the Evil Trio were happy to comply and so focused on other things aside grinding and leveling up. But now, the AI had been forced by its directives to punish them, so it couldn't blame them for fighting back!

Draco theorized two ways for them to level up relatively fast. One was to challenge some of the World Bosses they knew and the other was to take a leaf from the book of the Golden Savages in invading the Demon Realm.

World Bosses had stages and spawned a crazy amount of adds which all contributed experience at the end of the raid. Not to mention the raid boss itself gave a GENEROUS amount of experience at the end.

It was capitalized because the amount really was great. After all, it was an enemy meant to be sieged by hundreds of thousands of players with likely only a few thousand elites surviving at the end.

As such, if the experience was good enough to make over a thousand people feel satisfied, how immense would it be for just 3 people?

As for the Demon Realm, it should be obvious. With the Great War incoming, the demons were not lucrative gains. Not only did they have unique drops and superior power, but the experience they naturally dropped was 10 times more than any monster of the same level and Rank.

On top of that, during the Great War, all demon experience would be doubled!

In other words killing say, 100,000 Rank 5 monsters ion the main plane and killing 100,000 Rank 5 demons during the event yielded vastly different experience gains, a 20 times difference!

As for the issue of the event being active a few years later, was that even an issue?

As such, Draco and his two beauties discussed for a short while before deciding to deal with the demons first. It would be annoying if those retarded blokes stabbed them from the back while they were conquering the continent and also dealing with the invaders from afar.

With that resolution made, they took out the Divine Grade Orb of World which was the real version. Eva reacted strangely to the sight of the orb, but she steeled herself and suppressed her emotions.

She knew she couldn't afford to always react so strongly in regards to this item, so she had to train and control herself from now on.

Draco activated the orb and sent the three of them from their position in the main plane to the place where the Golden Savages had exited the Demon Realm from.

When they appeared, they were granted the various buffs of the Orb of Worlds for traveling, but that was a backdrop to the situation before them. Apparently, they were surrounded by a bunch of Rank 5 to 7 demons who were seated at a round table.

They had been seriously discussing some matter or the other when they saw a flash of golden light, the Evil trio appeared in the middle of them.

Both groups glanced at the other speechlessly. The demons felt like they had drunk hell dew to become high while Draco wondered why the demons would built a meeting room in the area where the Golden Savages left with Surtur in hand.

Naturally, for demons, there was no need to think too much. After eliminating their shock, their bodies exploded with immense killing intent, and they all attacked simultaneously without caring about anything else.

The Evil Trio grinned and fought back. Shuangtian slammed her gauntlets together and then block a blow from a Rank 7 powerhouse and then swung her legs to kick away a few Rank 6 and Rank 5 fellows.

Eva simply stopped the movements of those attacking her and then pointed a finger, which caused beams of light to pierce through their bodies. In the case of the Rank 7, he was sent flying while the light beam only seared his skin, but thsoe below Rank 7 were directly turned into ash.

As for Draco, the projectile attacks coming towards him entered a portal and then came out behind the attackers, causing them to hit themselves.

Even the Rank 7 fellow who targeted him was not spared, struck by his own attack and then hit by Draco who insidiously slapped his lower back with a palm of Destruction Energy, destroying more than 10% of that Rank 7 Demon's organs.

The fellow coughed out a thick wad of blood with innards mixed in and fell forward.

In one counterattack, the entire fighting force of this meeting room was crippled!

After all, Shaungtian's kicks had turned the Rank 5 and 6 fellows into bloodmist from the sheer force, while the disintegration power of her gifted Divine Gauntlets acted on the Rank 7 fellow she blocked, causing his arms to shatter.

He screamed and fell back in agony, panicking since his healing factor as a Rank 7 demon couldn't even begin to heal this damage.

Eva grabbed forward and one of the Rank 7 fellows entered her grip. She then used her psychic ability to drag all his memories out and then destroy his brain before tossing the corpse aside.

She instantly digested the memories and got a clear understanding of the Demon Realm as well as what was going on here. Draco and Shuangtian leeched these memories and also understood.

First lets start with the entire Demon Realm.

As we all knew, it was a Side Realm. A Side Realm was a world that had grown from a super mini small world, to a mini small word, to a small world and then to its stage. The next stage in its evolution was to become a main plane or a true world.

This was the largest side Realm known to the world of Boundless, but also the most barren because it was physically located in a desolate part of the world cluster that made up Boundless.

Very little energy of any nature made it way here, leaving the place barren and scarce. As such, desolate energy began to naturally form since it was there was a vacuum.

From this desolate energy, the species that were born on this plane were formed. They were the demons who were scrawny, weak and smallish. They were mostly like imps and could not even muster the strength to lift a rock.

However, the scarce resources forced them to become vicious and kill each other to survive. From this gave birth to a strong survival of the fittest atmosphere that more intense than anything nature on livable planets could fathom.

The demons who were weak grew through fighting and cunning, becoming bigger and more physically developed with each generation until they became what they were.

In this time, they had terraformed the entire plane with their blood and guts as well as their fierce intent, giving birth to hell energy that overrode the desolate energy and suppressed it into the ground.

Then this hell energy became the natural energy of this plane and even affected its natural laws. Now every species born on this plane could use this energy and it was their 'base' energy.

Unfortunately, hell energy was not as complete as Worldly Energy that could buff, defend, heal, grow and multiply. Hell energy could only buff, defend and heal, so the resource situation did not change.

Hence, the Demon Realm's budding will could not upgrade to a plane despite being so large and having so many species because hell energy was too violent and volatile.

So it opened portals to the main plane after a thousands years of accumulating energy so that the demons could raid it and gain resources to furnish the Demon Realm.

Not only did the resources the demons seized help the will, but just leaving the passage open would obviously allow Worldly Energy to leak into the Demon Realm, allowing it to merge with hell energy and slowly fix the flaws.

This had gone on for so many rounds that the Demon Realm was reaching perfection.

Now about demons themselves.

They had a pretty straightforward hierarchical system. Each Rank represented a category of demon.

A Rank 1 Demon was a Commoner.

A Rank 2 Demon was a Soldier.

A Rank 3 Demon was a Warrior.

A Rank 4 Demon was a Noble.

A Rank 5 Demon was a Lord.

A Rank 6 Demon was a General.

A Rank 7 Demon was a King.

A True God Demon was obviously a God.

The Demon Realm was governed by the Demon Kingdom in the center of the plane, of which the Demon Supreme was crowned ruler of all. He was the same Rank 7 as a Demon King, but of noble blood and had partial Divine Energy, meaning he was like a Main Plane Titled God.

Above the Demon Supreme were the Demon Gods who formed the faith of the Demon Race. They were also why despite the Main Plane having more Tilted Gods and Rank 7's than the demons, they didn't dare to execute the demons but only passively defend.

The presence of these Demon Gods was why the War Maniac Pavilion existed and why the Church of Light remained in power. If it weren't for the Grey Rot invasion, the Demon Gods would long have been slaughtered to a man.

Most of the resources seized went to the Demon gods while they rewarded the lesser demons with various titles and other things. Because if you think about it, who needed resources more than them?

Don't forget what made a True God what they were. It was a combination of Combat Rank (I.e physical/mental/magical power) and State of Being/Source Origin (i.e energy).

Source Origins also did not generate energy from nothingness. Apart from Origin-Grade Source Origins which did just that, all Source Origins below that functioned by converting lower energy upwards through purification or gathering the same-tier of energy from the atmosphere.

So for Divine Source Origins, either you converted Worldly or Aetheric Energy upwards or you lived in a place with natural Divine Energy.

As you could imagine, the Demons Gods had neither, so they were like starving camels. They could only use the seized resources to synthesize energy and then convert it upwards for their needs.

If they could, they would run out of the Demon Realm and raid the main plane themselves. Nothing was stopping True Gods or even Origin Gods from coming down except manufactured reasons by the AI.

However, the Demon Gods had seen what the grey rot was doing to the main plane's mapped zones, and brother, they wanted none of that. If they dared to enter, the grey rot might spot them and chase after them, coming into the Demon Realm.

That would be truly catastrophic.

It was better to starve and let their underlings do the raid rather than overturn the basket.
