Sacrifice's Rise: I Became Invincible After Entering Godslayer Temple

Chapter 115 Chapter 114-Submission（1st update, Cheer me with Power Stones!）

The sharp sword energy, stretching a hundred meters long, traveled almost two to three hundred meters before it finally halted.

It then dissipated into the environment as ordinary energy.

The scene was a complete mess.

With a casual wave of his sword, John had not only claimed the lives of the Shadowcrawlers but had also bisected all trees within a 300-meter radius.

The cut sections were as smooth as a plane, demonstrating just how sharp that sword energy was.

Even the thick and seemingly impenetrable chaos fog had been cleaved apart by John's single strike, creating a huge gap.

The surrounding fog rolled wildly, trying to fill the gap.

While the energy might have dispersed, the sword energy still lingered in that space.

As soon as the fog attempted to fill the void, it was instantly shredded.

This actually made the visibility in this area much better.

Behind John, everyone stood with their mouths agape, their faces filled with disbelief.

They couldn't even find the right words to describe what they were witnessing.

It was simply too unbelievable.

A casual sword swing with such a terrifying power!

Adam's eyes widened, and it took him a long while to regain his composure.

The other members of the Genesis Guild stood like statues, rooted to the spot.

Some even dropped their weapons without realizing it.

Adam twisted his neck with difficulty, turning to look at Blue Sea beside him, only to see that Blue Sea had an equally shocked expression.

This reassured him.

It seemed that he wasn't the only one who was inexperienced.

"Is the power of this strike really achievable by a player?"

Blue Sea rubbed his cheek, took a deep breath, and murmured, "This was just a casual swing of his sword. If he was to use a skill seriously, wouldn't he wipe out the entire Twisted Grove?"

Adam nodded vigorously.

He wholeheartedly agreed with Blue Sea's complaint. "Although I guessed that Galewind would be very powerful, I never expected him to be at this level."

Adam showed a bitter smile, his spirit somewhat down.

The casual strike from John had dealt a tremendous blow to his psyche, even prompting a deep self-doubt.

Adam had worked hard in this game and had the substantial backing of the Genesis Guild, but compared to John, he felt like a clown.

Adam thought that even his trump card would struggle to match John's casual strike.

This enormous difference, like a gaping chasm, made it hard for the typically proud Adam to not feel self-doubt.

He wasn't the only one.

Almost everyone present, except Emma, shared this sentiment.

Emma, on the other hand, clasped her hands to her chest, her eyes filled with adoring stars.

She didn't care about the gap between her and Johnny.

In her heart, John had always been an invincible existence.

Compared to Adam's desolation, Blue Sea's reaction was much better.

Having experienced the Dark Spirit Realm exploration with John, Blue Sea's psychological endurance had reached a certain height.

He slapped Adam on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't get discouraged. Galewind is a freak, comparing yourself to him is pointless."

Adam gave a bitter laugh, "I just feel like we've wasted so many resources... Galewind, a lone player, has achieved such heights in just a few months, while we've been stuck in place..."

Blue Sea retorted seriously, "That's not right. Galewind is one of a kind; we couldn't duplicate him even if we wanted to. Our goal should be to make the guild and ourselves stronger, bit by bit."

Adam pondered over it.

It seemed that Blue Sea had a point.

Adam realized he had no need to compare himself to a freak like John.

After all, there was no second John in this world.

Besides, John's show of power actually provided a direction for his own efforts.

As long as he continued to level up and equip himself, he would eventually reach a similar height.

With this thought, Adam's eyes lit up with a fervent glow.

The Guild Leader of Genesis Guild, always known for his confidence and dominance, finally found his spirit again.

At the same time, Adam reminded himself inwardly, "In this life, I must never be John's enemy. This kind of man can only be a friend, never an enemy..."

On the other side, after unleashing a powerful sword strike, John ceased to attack.

The Divine Blade in his hand gradually disappeared.

He looked at the almost dying Shadowcrawler Matriarch and gave a faint smile.

"Now... can you answer my question?"

The sword aura had grazed the Shadowcrawler Matriarch as well, but it had not killed it in one blow.

This was not because the sword aura was weak, but because John deliberately held back.

After all, he hadn't received an answer to his question yet.

He couldn't just kill the Shadowcrawler Matriarch, could he?

At this moment, the Shadowcrawler Matriarch was so terrified that it was shaking all over.

Its previous arrogance was nowhere to be seen.

It lay down on the ground in a submissive manner, lowering its head in a posture of surrender. "Honored traveler, could you repeat your question?"

John couldn't help but laugh.

The address had changed?

It seemed this Shadowcrawler Matriarch wasn't as stubborn as he'd thought.

"Twenty years ago, a young werewolf named Seth disappeared in the Twisted Grove. Was he hunted by you?"

The Matriarch replied in a low voice, still trembling, "I'm sorry, I don't remember such a person. In fact, this area was not under my control twenty years ago. At that time, another lord from the abyss ruled here. Perhaps it has something to do with the previous lord."

John frowned.

If it involved another lord of the abyss, this matter would be more complicated.

Seeing John's silence, the Shadowcrawler Matriarch trembled more violently.

It crawled a few steps forward, its small eyes revealing a flattering look.

"If you need it, sir, I can tell you about the previous lord. That creature didn't return to the abyss, but resides in a secret place in Sunset Mountain."

John raised an eyebrow. "Then tell me about it."

The Shadowcrawler Matriarch moved forward again, its voice growing more submissive.

"That creature is a middle-ranked lord-level being in the abyss. Its original form is a Corrupted Dragon named Beyvis. It is currently residing in Cholera Land to the northeast of Twisted Grove..."

John glanced at it. This simple gaze was enough to frighten the Shadowcrawler Matriarch into stopping its actions.

Once again, the Shadowcrawler Matriarch prostrated itself.

"Speak properly, don't get too close. Do you know your appearance can scare my friends?" Its mandibles trembled inside its huge mouth, indicating its understanding.

This scene left the people behind John dumbfounded.

They never thought a game's lord-level boss would act so subserviently.

Wasn't it said that the abyss creatures in the Godslayer game were always high in dignity?

Creatures from there represented chaos, darkness, blood, and slaughter...

So why did this bug look no different from a puppy right now?

John, however, remained expressionless, showing no surprise.

The higher the level of the boss, the stronger their sense of danger.

Even though he had only made a simple move earlier, some aura had leaked out when he unleashed his power.

Insectoid creatures, for the most part, have an incredible sense of perception.

This Shadowcrawler Matriarch must have detected that slight leakage of John's aura, hence its unusually obedient behavior.

"Cholera Land..." John pondered for a moment, then turned to Blue Sea, "Where is our target, Twin Volcano?"

Blue Sea pulled out a scroll of parchment from his bag.

The map drawn on it was quite simple, probably sketched casually.

After carefully checking the directions, Blue Sea responded, "Due north from here, about a day's journey."

John took the parchment, spread it in front of the Shadowcrawler Matriarch, "Mark the location of Cholera Land. If it's on the way, I'll pay a visit to this Corrupted Dragon."

The Matriarch made an effort to open its disproportionately small eyes on its huge head.

After focusing on the parchment for a while, it finally saw its contents clearly.

It struggled to lift its upper body and pointed at a spot on the parchment with a thin limb.

John, getting a bit impatient, said, "Mark it, don't waste my time."

The Matriarch trembled in panic, then cut open its belly, staining its limb with blood, and drew a circular symbol on the parchment.

John handed the parchment back to Blue Sea.

The Matriarch then asked cautiously, "Are you heading to Twin Volcano?"

John nodded and said casually, "Correct. Any problems?"

A wave of fear washed over the Matriarch's face, "That place is dangerous. It's likely that there are demi-god level creatures hiding there..."

John lifted his head in surprise, "So you've been there?"

The Matriarch quickly answered, "Before I came here from the abyss, I visited that area out of curiosity. But at the entrance, I detected divine energy, so I didn't dare to go in."

John stroked his chin, mulling it over.
