Destroying The Door Of Darkness

Liu Ming simply pretended like he did not hear the NPC yelling. After all, players who did not try to kill Boss-level monsters would not be players.

Although Rodey had already evolved, his Health Points had not been completely restored. This was a rare opportunity for Liu Ming to launch more attacks.

Liu Ming was moving way too quickly. Before the NPC behind even had time to yell again, Liu Ming's large sword had already collided with the spear.

Just as the NPC thought that Liu Ming would be directly blown away by the Death General even if he did not get killed immediately, everything that happened next made the NPC astonished.

The moment the sword and the spear collided, both Liu Ming and the Death General were forced to retreat a few steps because of the massive backlash.

Although Liu Ming retreated two more steps compared to the Death General, neither of them gained an advantage.

The results even made the NPC feel rather stunned, and he forgot to continue attacking Death General Rodey.

However, Liu Ming and the Death General weren't stunned motionless. After testing each other's strength once, both parties hurriedly attacked each other.

Even though Liu Ming was fully-equipped with Level 30 Purple equipment and an Orange weapon now, it was still rather difficult for him to take on a Level 45 Hegemon Boss on his own.

However, the Death General, fortunately, only had about a third of his Health Points left. Under the attacks of Liu Ming's Purple Skills, Death General Rodey nonetheless fell to Liu Ming's sword.

Due to the fact that Liu Ming's Blessing Of Lady Luck had not come off cooldown, the Death General only dropped an Orange weapon and a few pieces of Blue equipment. However, Liu Ming was not bothered by it. After all, Liu was only Level 30-something, which was far from Level 45.

What Liu Ming really cared about now was the EXP that he gained from killing the Dark Evil General that had evolved. After obtaining a large amount of EXP, Liu Ming's level increased by one, and the next level's EXP Bar had also filled up to 80%.

At this moment, Liu Ming focused his attention on the Brilliance Camp NPC, who had come to help him.

A female archer wearing light green armor stared at Liu Ming in astonishment. The female archer had actually met Liu Ming once. She was Lotter City's Archer Profession Mentor.

However, Liu Ming had not advanced far enough to know her level back then.

Now that Liu Ming had already advanced beyond Level 30, he could finally see the panels of Profession Mentors Level 50 and above.

Flame Messenger Trinity: Level 52 (Flame Ranger)

Health Points: 660,000/660,000

...

Although Liu Ming had long predicted Profession Mentor Trinity's strength, Liu Ming was still extremely astonished to see her information bar.

Based on Trinity's Health Points alone, he reckoned that even the evolved Dark Evil General in perfect condition might not be her match. However, she did not have any chance to intervene and attack this time because of Liu Ming.

While Liu Ming observed Trinity, she was also doing the same to him. In fact, when Liu Ming and the Death General fought each other, she had already snapped back to her senses. However, given her broad perspective, she could naturally tell that Liu Ming would be able to defeat the Death General on his own. Hence, she gave up on intervening in the battle.

However, she was even more shocked because she could tell what Liu Ming's combat power was. At least in her memory, she had never seen a Level 30 player who could fight a Level 45 Hegemon-level monster on their own.

Even those who fought Level 35 Hegemon-level monsters were extremely rare, let alone Level 45 Hegemons. Besides, those who managed to do so only succeeded because they had a massive force to support them by providing them with resources.

As an Adventurer from 'another world,' how could Liu Ming have the support of a major force? After all, the so-called major guilds may seem impressive in the players' eyes, but they were just slightly affluent third-tier forces in front of the powerful NPCs.

In those NPCs' eyes, although the players had great potential due to their immortal bodies, they could only run errands, at least for now. They even seemed too weak to be cannon fodder.

However, Liu Ming actually displayed such strong abilities. Trinity couldn't help but overthink.

Trinity soon seemed to have made up her mind about something. She walked towards Liu Ming and smilingly said, "Adventurer Floating Cloud, are you willing to sneak into Kelop City with me and destroy the Darkness Alliance's Door of Darkness?"

As soon as Trinity said those words, the system notified Liu Ming that he had received a hidden quest.

[Congratulations, Adventurer, you have activated a hidden quest: Destroy the Door of Darkness.]

[Quest Introduction: The Door of Darkness is the Darkness Alliance's most important structure in Kelop City. As long as it is not destroyed, Kelop City will continuously gain the Abyss's power and obtain a large number of demons.]

[Adventurer, lucky you. You have been chosen by Flame Messenger Trinity to cooperate with her to destroy the Door of Darkness.]

[Warning: Due to the previous incident regarding the Darkness Canopy, the Darkness Alliance has tightened the Door of Darkness's security. Adventurer, your level is too low, so this mission has a high failure rate for you.]

...

In addition to the most basic quest description, a system warning in red was at the bottom. It directly stated the quest's high difficulty level this time.

Of course, Liu Ming also understood that this type of quest itself was not for players at the present stage.

Previously, Liu Ming had already taken advantage of a flaw and destroyed one of the Darkness Camp's main structures. Now that he was going to destroy such an important structure, it naturally would not be as easy as before. However, Liu Ming did not hesitate much and simply accepted Trinity's quest.

After all, hidden quests were rare. Liu Ming would definitely be handsomely rewarded for a quest as difficult as this. Besides, it was not like a Battle Quest like before. Even if he failed, it would only result in a 20% decrease in his EXP, which was not too big a loss for Liu Ming now.

...

After accepting the quest, Liu Ming followed Trinity and sneaked into Kelop City with her.

At this moment, most of the Darkness Camp's senior executives had already been held back by the Brilliance Camp's high-level NPCs. Even a 'greenhorn' like Liu Ming could sneak into the city easily, not to mention when he had the high-level NPC, Trinity, helping him.

With little effort, Liu Ming and Trinity found the Door of Darkness's location. Or rather, the senior executives of Kelop City's Darkness Camp did not plan to hide the Door of Darkness at all.

A large and high platform made of white bones was placed in the middle of the city in an obvious manner. An illusory door, formed by endless rays of black light, was on top of it. Two hideous-looking demon sculptures were also erected on both sides of the illusory door.

The illusory door was Liu Ming's target for this quest, the Door of Darkness.

On the other hand, the two sculptures were, in fact, two Level 50 Boss-level Leaders, Supreme Gargoyles.

Supreme Gargoyle: Level 50 (Leader)

Health Points: 500,000/500,000
