Repel and crush the invasion of the shadowkin Repel and crush the invasion of the Sixfold Host
Quest Description:
Winterhold is engulfed in endless warfire, its commanding generals falling one after another. The Empire has been forced to redeploy the Rift Watchers northward as reinforcements, leaving the Rift seals weakened. Seizing the opportunity, the Shadow Council has broken the seals, and countless shadowkin are pouring out of the Abyss. At the same time, deep within the Demon Abyss, the shadowkin overlord has already united the demon domain. With the non-human races pressing in from without and the shadowkin breaking free from within, the Human Empire now faces enemies on both fronts. The torch of civilization flickers in the wind—whether it endures or is extinguished will be decided today!
Quest Duration: Long-term
Quest Rewards: Imperial Morale, Human Merit, merit points / gold coins / Contribution Points, Divinity Fragments, achievements, titles, noble rank, special items, World Key...
Daniel closed the quest log.
His gaze lingered on the words World Key for a moment before moving away. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
This quest offered an extremely high degree of freedom, yet the rewards were anything but stingy.
Now that the non-human races and the shadowkin were invading at the same time, with the Shadow Council lurking in the dark and waiting for its chance, every move had to be made with caution.
He closed the mission panel and summoned all the powerhouses under his command.
Inside the council hall, Carodion, Tiana, Aliris, Cole, and Upton stood in a straight line, every face solemn as iron.
Daniel swept his gaze over them and spoke directly.
"All of you will follow me to the Abyss Rift and suppress the shadowkin!"
At once, battle intent flared in the eyes of every powerhouse present.
"We are willing to brave fire and water for you, my lord!"
...
Luminara, Five-Star Abyss Rift.
Six figures dove out of the clouds and landed steadily on the open ground before the entrance to the Abyss Rift.
Daniel gazed at the crack spilling out endless black mist and frowned slightly.
The surrounding area was deathly silent. Not even the chirping of insects could be heard. This calm was far too abnormal.
But he knew it was only a surface illusion.
Inside the Abyss Rift, it was probably already a landscape of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Scattered around the entrance were large numbers of shadowkin corpses. Some had been cut in two, some burned into charcoal, and some frozen into ice statues.
Whoever had struck had done so cleanly and decisively, without the slightest bit of wasted movement.
Daniel withdrew his gaze and strode toward the entrance of the Abyss Rift.
"Move in."
Before the words had even fully fallen, he had already rushed into the black mist.
Carodion and the others followed close behind. In the blink of an eye, all six figures were swallowed by darkness.
On a distant tower, a golden figure watched all of this in silence, making no move to stop them.
He was the Watcher of this Abyss Rift.
The shadowkin corpses at the entrance had been slain by his hand.
He had only one duty—to suppress any shadowkin that attempted to break through the seal.
As for people going in?
That was none of his business, and not within his power to stop.
...
Inside the Abyss Rift.
Before them stretched a dark crimson wasteland.
Several violet crescent moons floated in the sky, casting a strange and ghostly glow across the land.
In the distance, a vast shadowkin army was assembling, a black mass so dense it stretched beyond sight.
"Carodion."
Daniel spoke in a deep voice.
Carodion gave a slight nod.
"Understood."
He led Tiana, Aliris, and the others, transforming into five streaks of light as they sped toward the rear of the shadowkin army.
There, several terrifying auras could be sensed.
Legendary-grade powerhouses!
Daniel unfurled the Eternal Black King, his blackgold-colored wings tracing a dazzling arc beneath the broken moons.
In mere moments, he was already above the shadowkin army.
"Human?!"
"You insects have a lot of nerve, daring to venture deep into shadowkin territory!"
"Damned humans! The debt from back then—when you colluded with the god race—hasn’t been settled yet. Today, we’ll start by taking your lives!"
Countless shadowkin warriors looked up, their crimson eyes locked firmly on the figure in the sky.
Arrows, magic, and curses poured toward him like a storm.
Daniel’s expression remained unchanged.
[Starveil]!
A pale golden starlight shield condensed around him. Attacks powerful enough to tear through city walls struck it and produced nothing more than tiny ripples.
He raised Stellar Wrath.
[Arrowstorm]!
[Shattering Comet]!
[Serpent’s Thundercell]!
The bowstring trembled as three skills erupted at once.
Countless arrows transformed into a rain of fire and lightning serpents, crashing down like an apocalyptic disaster.
-76,894,609!
-76,469,764!
-84,045,848!
Crimson critical-hit damage numbers exploded throughout the shadowkin army like flowers of death in full bloom.
Even legendary-grade shadowkin commanders were like paper in front of him. As for epic-grade warriors, they did not even have time to scream before turning to ash.
With one volley, hundreds of thousands of shadowkin were annihilated!
Two volleys. Three volleys...
In just a few short minutes, this shadowkin legion of several million was already on the verge of collapse.
The surviving shadowkin soldiers stared at that blackgold-colored figure in the sky, their eyes filled with terror.
"That’s a legendary-grade powerhouse?"
"Impossible... he doesn’t have a legendary-grade aura!"
"But this is absurd! Why is he this strong?!"
"Find a way to kill him!"
"..."
Daniel gave them no chance.
The arrow rain did not stop. The lightning did not cease.
Tens of thousands of lightning serpents roamed across the battlefield, leaving utter desolation in their wake.
Ten minutes later, the entire shadowkin legion had been wiped out!
[Ding! Gold coins +250,000! EXP +1.6 billion!]
Daniel spread his wings and flew toward the distorted region of space in the distance.
...
Godscar.
Five terrifying auras were colliding madly within this torn-apart region of space.
Every clash released power enough to flatten mountains. The earth trembled, and the sky burned.
Carodion was locked in combat with the shadowkin leader.
Golden sword light and dark crimson demonic flames intertwined into a net of death, the surrounding air twisting from the heat.
On the other four battlefields, Tiana, Aliris, Cole, and Upton were fighting the remaining four legendary-grade shadowkin. Both sides were evenly matched, and there was no clear winner for the moment.
Just then, Daniel’s figure appeared at the edge of the battlefield.
The shadowkin leader, Regroth, noticed the uninvited guest immediately.
While parrying Carodion’s assault, he glanced sidelong at the human archer and pulled his lips into a scornful smile.
"Has humanity run out of people? They actually sent an ant here to die?"
Daniel remained expressionless and quietly cast a detection spell.
