Chapter 535: 11.61 First Green Star Punishment World: 'h.e.l.l' (27)

Night Falls

As soon as the sunset, the mini-camp An Yuan and the rest had become quiet. They've bought a two-person tent for each couple. They were resting inside as it was supposed to be.

As expected the moment the movement in the camp had halted some players who hid themselves in the morning had come out. They threw some kind of spray in the camp which would put people in deep sleep. If the people inside were indeed sleeping, inhaling the smoke would keep them in deep sleep. It means regardless of what would happen to their surroundings they wouldn't wake up at all.

As soon as the smoke lightens, a few sounds of footsteps come approaching the camp of Han Ya and others. They were wielding some weapons in their hands and obviously, came over without any good intentions towards the team.

"Did the drug take effect? Have those couples fallen asleep deeply!"

"Of course! That drug is so expensive. Moreover, we have done the same thing to the other players before. It should be useful."

"These four players are quite amazing huh. They've escaped from the forest of death without losing a member, moreover most of them had awakened a divine bloodline. It's making me so envious! s.h.i.+t!"

"Either they are all going to die tonight. Let's hope they have more bloodline stones with them to help us awaken."

"What should we do with the bodies? Send it to the demon in the forest."

"Yes and maybe it would allow us to use the elevator like the others."

"These guys are so pitiful. But what could we do? There is only one winner in this punishment game mode."

"Actually, I feel like one of them looks familiar. But I just don't remember where I've seen the face."

"Really? Which of the four?"

"This one... The one on guard duty."

One of the bandit players pointed at the sleeping Chu Mo.

Chu Mo yawned and said,

"For real? Who did I look like?

Yawns~

To think you would attack at midnight that we don't even need to use an alarm clock to wake up. As expected, my honey's predictions are correct~"

The bandits jumped away from Chu Mo who was so calm lying sideways near the bonfire. There is even some trace of tear at the corner of his eyes due to his yawning. On the other hand, these uninvited players were all looking at Chu Mo like they had seen a ghost. Seeing him awake and moving, they knew they had fallen into a trap.

Some players who went to check inside the tents ran out shouting.

"There is no one inside the tents! IT'S EMPTY!!!"

"d.a.m.n! How did they know about our plan!?"

Seeing Chu Mo the rest of the players who came for a nightly visit all surrounded the former. Even though Chu Mo looks nonchalant and lazy, they didn't dare to look down on him and pointed their weapons toward him.

Chu Mo said,

"My teammates are not here. My honey and An An left to kill monsters while Han Han left to kill the demon. I stayed behind for the cleanup~"

Seeing that their plan had failed, some bandits had tried to run away. But would Chu Mo let them escape? The answer is obviously, No.

With a wave of his hand the wind around him had moved accordingly to his control. An invisible film made of wind had enclosed every uninvited guest inside the area where Chu Mo is. He stood up and pats the clouds of dust on his clothes.

WHOOOOSH~

"Ah!!! Something! There is something blocking the way!!!"

"No. No... There is nothing in there... But I can't get out."

"f.u.c.k! What is this!? Wind! Who the h.e.l.l is controlling it!!?"

Whish~ Whoosh~

The sound of the wind blowing was heard in the area. Though they could see the air blocking their way once they b.u.mped into an invisible film, the other players knew that they were trapped inside a wind prison. The controller is none other than the sleep-deprived man near the bonfire.

Everyone's thoughts:

'Is it him!? Impossible!!? He didn't even activate his bloodline? Why is he so strong!?'

Chu Mo felt the dust flying around the area because of the wind around them. He had pulled over his cloak's hood and hid his face. But this wide black hood that hides his appearance made someone recognize him. He's looking like an undead lich covered in a large black hooded cloak is the second ranker's trademark.

"Agh~ too much dust~

Achoo!

"

That's right. An all-black attire with a huge black cloak is Player Reaper's infamous attire. He is the strongest a.s.sa.s.sin-type player in Abyssal World. Though Chu Mo's face is revealed for everyone to see, those who had met the Reaper before would recognize him right away.

As expected, someone among the group of uninvited players recognized him and screamed in despair.

"Ahhh!!! No way! This is not possible! That menace cannot be here!! No!"

"Shut up! Don't scream. What the h.e.l.l are you talking about!?"

"You. You cannot recognize him!!? He is that... The Death G.o.d... That hooded black cloak hides most of his figure and pure black overalls. It is him!!!"

"Tell us who he is!? d.a.m.n! You're scaring the s.h.i.+t out of us!!!"

"The second rankers of the Black Zone. It's him!! The Reaper!!!"

"Impossible!"

"No Way!"

"For Real!!?"

Then everyone's eyes move to the man who just shouted and the man leisurely playing with fire at the center of the camp. His whole body was now covered in a black hood but they had longed to see the appearance under the dark cloak.

Clap. Clap. Clap.

Chu Mo spoke,

"Congratulations~ you got it right! Sadly, there is no prize for guessing what is correct. My task is to kill all players who attacked the camp regardless of the reason. Bye-bye~"

AAAHHH!!!..... URRRGHH!!!.... NOOO!!!

Clap! The last sound of his hand-clapping becomes the catalyst that took everyone's life. The wind moves in accordance with Chu Mo's command and squeezes every player with the wind. They were twisted in a weird angle and able to even retaliate. The law's thing they could remember is that last clap that signifies the end of their lives.

A sudden silence fell in the camp. As soon as the wind barrier disappeared, Chu Mo was surrounded by distorted corpses from all sides. Yet he doesn't even care about the corpses all around him.

"This place is a mess. Thankfully, Lord Hei isn't here with us. Let's get things cleaned up before the others return."

mumbled Chu Mo as he started cleaning up the area.

Meanwhile at the surrounding riverbanks of the Oasis. The land and water tremble. The ripples and waves on the river intensify as a group of snakes numbering more than 50 mutated monsters crawl out from it.

Seeing a large number of snakes of varying colors and sizes doesn't look like a good sight. At this moment Lan She is flying in the dark sky beside him is An Yuan standing on the top of a tree holding his magic arrow.

s.h.i.+vers at the sight of numerous snakes.

An Yuan spoke,

"Yuck! Seeing this many snakes crawling out makes it disgusting to watch. Woa~"

There are gooseb.u.mps all over his skin.

Lan She asked,

"Can you eliminate all the small ones? I won't focus on those five mid-boss grade monsters."

He was pointing at the 5 large pythons that came out of the water after the large mob. Its size is not a joke, it had a width as large as a tree trunk and there are five of it.

"Let's kill off the small ones first,"

said An Yuan as he cast multiple spells on his magic bow and a single ice arrow appeared on his bow. He pointed the arrow towards heaven planning to arc it from the sky down to earth.

Once the single ice arrow flew towards the heavens and arched downwards. The ice arrows increased in number to more than 50 ice arrows and rained down from the heavens.

"Rain of Ice Arrows."

mumbled An Yuan.

The sight of ice arrows pouring down like rain from the dark sky caused chaos in everyone down below. The snakes tried to escape by crawling in different directions, sadly the range of An Yuan's attack was too large and no matter where the snakes ran, they couldn't escape the rain of ice at all.

An Yuan seeing even two of the mid-boss grade snake monsters fall under his attack felt he overdid it. Those mid-bosses are Lan She's targets.

"S-Sorry, Doctor Lan. Two of your preys got killed in chaos too. Why did it run in the middle? It's brainless or something."

said An Yuan.

Lan She responded,

"It's alright. It spotted us and tried to crawl towards the tree you were standing on but died in progress as the Ice Arrow Rain fell too fast for them to retaliate."

At this moment the remaining three mid-boss snake pythons raised their heads in their directions and started hissing loudly. They were found out.

HHIIISSSSS~

An Yuan screamed,

"Ah! It's coming over here!!!"

Lan She immediately dives down and wields his whips. With one slash from his whip, one of the python's heads instantly explodes upon contact with the whip. This shows how much strength that slash from whips holds.

SWISH~ BOOM!

An Yuan mumbled,

"That sounds like a watermelon exploding."

SWISH~ SWISH~

BOOM! BOOM!

For Lan She killing mid-tier bosses is not much different from killing a low-tier one. They are just a bit larger in size and a little increase in strength and speed but that doesn't matter to Lan She as he could still insta kill it with a few moves. The riverbank is now covered in the corpses of snakes, skin, and mutilated flesh scattered on the ground. The scent of blood and death spreads from its surroundings.

An Yuan saw Lan She flying above the river. He dumped a few crystals like stones in the river and looked at them with a calm gaze. As soon as the crystal-like stones sank into the river, An Yuan noticed frost slowly spreading from within the water.

"Ice? What did you throw in the river, Doctor Lan?"

Asked An Yuan.

Lan She replies,

"Ice crystals. It wasn't as strong as a real ice stone but it was enough to slowly turn warm water into an icy one. Isn't cold the weakness of the sleeping bosses under the river?"

The two watched as the surface of the river slowly freeze and a thin layer of ice emerges on the top of the river. They had waited for a few minutes, taking their time as they waited for the sleeping monster within the depths of the river to show itself.

Meanwhile, at the camp, Chu Mo who had just finished cleaning up their area was now cooking a stew for dinner. He also lit up another bonfire to cook a pot of rice to pair with carbohydrates.

He was whistling while holding a ladle as he stirred the meat stew when suddenly the whole oasis trembled as the land itself quake.

RUMBLES~~~

He had to use his wind element to keep the pots from tilting as he looked around in the direction of the river where his honey and An Yuan are.

Chu Mo was startled,

"Huh? Ha? What is this? Earthquake!? f.u.c.k! I'm cooking! That direction... Is it coming from the river? Did the Boss grade monsters finally come out!?

Ah~ my pots~ phew~"

On the other hand, in the cave at the center of the forest.

Within the dark interior of the cavern, Han Ya was stepping on a woman's head with an emotionless face as he looked down on her. Surrounding them are huge piles of human bones which one can make a few skeletal figures from. A black mist was surrounding Han Ya and the half humanoid female and half spider monster.

Then suddenly they felt the land shake and even the cave itself had trembled. But Han Ya remained silent as he looked in the direction of the river.

Han Ya muttered,

"That direction... The river? Doctor Lan is with him, he should be safe."

The monster under his foot was trembling as she could feel the pain spreading in her body. She could feel the black surrounding her and felt her energy getting drained at every second.

"Spare... Spare me... Please spare me... Oh, great lord. Undead Lord Knight~"

pleads the demonic being.

Han Ya once again move his gaze to the monster under his foot and sneered,

"I can't spare you... Because you know this knight's ident.i.ty. My beloved might learn that I'm not human as long as you exist."

said Han Ya.

Shaking in terror so badly, the half-humanoid monster still tries to beg for her life.

"I won't say anything. I will not talk anymore!!! I promise! Please spare me!!"

But Han Ya remained unmoved and controlled his black mist to completely deplete the demon's life force.

"You can only die."

mumbled Han Ya.

No one knew that within the cave of the demonic being, a human figure had drained its life force killing the monster on the spot. As soon as only a corpse was left remaining in the area, Han Ya used some talisman to burn the remains. This includes the other players' skeleton remains.

Once only ashes were left behind, Han ya finally left the cave and looked up at the dark sky and red moon above his head overlooking the whole layer.

"That's right.. My secret must remain unknown, especially towards my A'Yuan."
