Chapter17-A Conversation with Azazel

After a month of hard work.

John had successfully broken through the lv500 and reached level 586.

This level, for ordinary players, was quite outrageous.

If word got out, it would undoubtedly cause a sensation.

John decided to keep this completely secret, not even tell his close friend Emma.

So he wouldn't tell White Feather either.

"I'm probably...a bit higher than you," John replied.

White Feather was a little confused, how much was "a bit higher"?

40 levels more?

But White Feather didn't ask more.

Since John didn't want to give a detailed answer, it would be pointless to keep asking.

White Feather believed that John must be a very powerful player, with a level definitely higher than hers.

As for how much higher...she didn't need to know the specifics.

"Alright, I got it. We will wait for your message, boss," White Feather replied.

John closed the chat interface.

Holding the golden parchment, he walked towards the twisted stone gate.

Passing through the long corridor, John again faced The Devil "Azazel".

Unexpectedly, Azazel, in the black mist, didn't instantly kill John.

Instead, his gaze shifted to the parchment in John's hand.

A dull sound echoed from all directions into John's mind.

The voice seemed ancient, instilling endless fear and chaos.

For an instant, John felt like his soul was being torn apart, divided into countless selves.

But John quickly recovered. Among his many talents, he just happened to have the ability to resist chaos.

When he calmed down, he realized that the voice was not an attack from The Devil.

It was just a sentence The Devil said to him.

Just one sentence had almost torn the soul of a nearly level 600 player!

"Where did you get this thing?" Azazel asked.

Facing the powerful Devil's questioning, John straightened up and retorted, "Is this yours?"

Seeing him daring not to answer his question, The Devil was instantly enraged.

A cloud of black smoke swept over, and John's health quickly dropped to the bottom.

He was utterly defenseless!

...

[Ding, you have been killed.]

[Due to your 'God Slayer' class feature, being killed by a god-level BOSS will grant additional rewards.]

...

"Huh."

John took a deep breath, his heart still pounding.

It truly deserved of being The Devil.

Once angry, the damage caused was something he couldn't contend with, even though he was already level 586.

In the eyes of the gods, he was still as insignificant as a bug!

However, this death was not entirely without gains for John.

At least, he proved one thing...The Devil "Azazel" indeed recognized the parchment, and seemed very familiar with it.

He took out the parchment, sneered, and thought to himself: "In that case, things will be simpler from now on."

John stood up again and rushed into the stone gate.

This time, when he stood in front of The Devil, he didn't wait for Azazel to ask.

He directly took out the parchment and asked, "TELL ME, is this yours?"

Facing the always "resurrecting" John, The Devil Azazel was truly at a loss.

He had been sealed in the underground temple by powerful gods, his strength suppressed to one-tenth of its original, and now he had to deal with this tenacious bug.

Despite his reduced power, he was still capable of instantly killing this bug.

But bizarrely, this bug could resurrect infinitely... and even continuously grow stronger.

This left The Devil Azazel with no way to deal with him.

With a hum, Azazel said to John, "This item, it is mine. Mortal, how did you get it?"

John, resisting the erosion of the ancient voice and watching his HP continuously drop, quickly asked, "Does it record your treasure? What is it?"

Although Azazel was very displeased with John's irreverent attitude, it seemed that aside from killing John, he had no other options.

He had tried to torment this human before, but each torture seemed useless.

The man didn't even scream in pain, let alone beg for mercy.

This made Azazel extremely frustrated.

He guessed that this human was likely intentionally placed here by the gods who had sealed him.

Not only could this human resurrect infinitely, but he also seemed to have completely blocked out pain.

In this way, Azazel was left with no way to deal with him.

After a long while, Azazel said, "Actually, it's not really a treasure. It's just an abandoned shell that I used before becoming a god. Those gods fear my ability to create chaos, so naturally, they wouldn't allow my shell to exist freely, hehe... But even my pre-godhood shell couldn't be destroyed in a short time, so those gods arranged many guards to prevent my shell from reappearing in the world before it completely disappeared!"

Upon hearing this, John finally understood the value of this parchment.

"So if it's where your pre-godhood shell was, there must be a lot of powerful treasures along with it, right?"

Azazel scoffed, "Mortal, if you think there are, then there are. No matter what they are, to me, they have no value... Perhaps those things would seem valuable to you humans. In my eyes, you humans are but a bunch of bugs that I can crush at will, just adding a bit of fun to the chaos..."

John didn't listen to the rest of what Azazel was saying.

Because at this moment, his HP had completely depleted.

Facing a god, even if the god had no intention of attacking, just conversing would be a deadly blow to ordinary creatures.

Having returned to the outer part of the temple, John walked up to the tray statue and then contacted White Feather.

White Feather: "Galewind (John's ID), boss? What can I do for you?"

John: "This Legendary parchment is of no use to me, I'll send it back to you. But don't investigate what's inside, whatever it is, it's a power beyond the reach of current players, and it's very dangerous."

White Feather: "So how should we do to this parchment? Just throw it away?"

John thought for a while, then replied:

"Don't throw it away, it would be too wasteful, after all, it's the first 'Legendary' item in the entire server. Here's what you do, take it to the auction house. The auction house has its own appraisers, they will appraise this item."

White Feather: "Alright, boss, we'll do as you say."

After giving instructions, John placed the parchment back on the plate.

The item was transported back to White Feather.

Following John's instructions, she and Emma went to the largest Dawn Breeze Auction House in the city where Silver Church was located.

In this Dawn Breeze Auction House, there were not only many NPCs, but also many players working.

In the game "Godslayer", every profession in the world can be tried by players.

Players are not outsiders in the world, but truly live within it.

For example, the resident host of this auction house was a player, a somewhat famous internet celebrity, with the ID "Isabella Jones".

Coincidentally, White Feather knew this "Isabella" in real life, so she directly found her and entrusted her to help auction this "ancient parchment".

After the three met, "Isabella" couldn't wait to ask, "White Feather, did you say you got a 'Legendary' item? This is the first Legendary item in the entire server!"

"Quick, show me!"
