The game has become a real alternate world-Chapter 937 - 619: The Stone in the Black Flame
"Damn rats are back."
On the border, Annabelle from the First Walker squad said irritably.
At that moment, a cry came from the sky, the call of Grey Fang's winged dragon.
Upon hearing the cry, Karen opened her channel panel and saw the message.
"Level Ten? The leading rat is Level Ten?"
Upon hearing this, Abis's face turned grim.
"Indeed, once given a breathing space, these rats will seize the opportunity to strengthen themselves." It must be noted that in the previous war, the rats barely had Level Ten or above combat power.
At that time, high-level combat power mostly came from followers of the Evil God or Descending Apostles.
Currently, the United Army and the rats have defined a border line, confronting each other across it, constantly prepared for war, and taking advantage of this rare breathing moment to reinforce their combat power.
"They've developed high-level combat power, shouldn't they hide it? Until the actual war breaks out, then surprise us." Karen asked with some doubt.
In her view, that's the normal tactical mindset. After all, the rats indeed lacked high-level combat power before.
Abis shook her head and said, "There's no point. For the Night Watchers, high-level combat power is not lacking. Whether they hide or not makes no difference, right? Unless they've hidden many legendary combat powers, but that's impossible, every legendary combat advancement is clearly recorded."
"You're right."
"Alright, notify everyone to prepare for battle."
The soldiers patrolling with them immediately got ready, quickly forming array. Under the leadership of different squads, they divided into different attack teams, swiftly moved past the border.
The so-called border is merely a tacit understanding between both sides.
Actually, they and the rats are still in a state of full-scale war, this border is completely nominal, merely a simple term for the current phase.
The United Army halted only due to the request of leader Kana. Otherwise, they would've already advanced to the front of the Rat Nest.
The reason for the tacit halt is because the combat power of the enemy evil rats is temporarily unmanageable, ultimately they will halt their steps.
Led by Karen and others, their squad swiftly inserted into the enemy reinforcements that had just arrived.
In the sky, Grey Fang led his griffin squad descending from above, dropping alchemy bombs.
This rat reinforcement troop barely lasted half an hour before being completely wiped clean. The Level Ten rat was directly assassinated by Annabelle.
"So weak." Looking at the rat corpse at her feet, Annabelle curled her lips.
Killing rats is her most hated task, not only providing little experience, but also requiring handling of a large number of corpses, and those corpses pile up like mountains.
Not all rats will dissipate after death, only those rats that believe in external Evil Gods do so, while most are just evil rodents. Evil rats belong to the evil god of this world, and will not turn into ashes upon death.
After piling up the bodies, Abis waved her hand, and black flames burned fiercely.
"Isn't this flame also the power of the Evil God?" Annabelle asked from the side.
Abis nodded. From the beginning, Kana had already explained it. Moreover, the flame she used is a power from a mighty Evil God, so powerful that even the Four Gods cannot counter it, according to Kana's words.
"Then how are you going to ascend to legendary?" Annabelle asked, puzzled.
The black flames burned violently in front, quickly incinerating the rat bodies into black ashes, without producing any odor.
"I don't know." Abis answered simply and directly.
"Don't know? Didn't Raelia share her experience with you?" Their squad already produced a legendary. As members of the squad, others naturally seek guidance from her.
They were sent to the frontline deliberately by Kana, aiming to accumulate experience through battle and war. For now, among the Night Watchers, they count as a group with high chance of promotion.
Indeed, ascending to legendary cannot rely on the Night Watcher's blessings, blessings can at most help them accumulate experience, ultimately it's up to oneself.
"Her experience isn't quite suitable for me, we walk completely different paths." Abis said, sighing. Her profession is that of a desecration priest, not desecrating true gods, but the Evil God, stealing power from the Evil God.
Her ability to possess such profession and power stems from a special encounter in her childhood. As for how to ascend to legendary, she has no idea.
"Is that so…" Annabelle also fell into silence, because she thought Raelia's experience was still quite helpful to her.
"Hm?" Karen voiced a puzzled sound.
"In the fire." She just saw a glint of light flash in the flame.
Abis reached toward her waist, the investigation stone kept shaking, others' investigation stones did the same.
"Huh? Why did a piece of Stone of Creation just appear out of nowhere?" Karen was a bit puzzled.
After the black flames extinguished, in a pile of black dust, a small piece of Stone of Creation was buried within. Abis picked it up.
"Didn't expect such good fortune to befall us."
Annabelle also laughed, "Shows we've got good luck, we've contributed to the world, long overdue for blessings."
"Hey, don't be disrespectful to the world." Karen reminded from the side.
She kind of understood why this situation occurred. It's not the first occurrence, it's happened several times within the Night Watchers.
Simply put, it's taking this opportunity for the world to descend a new Creation Stone Fragment here, for them to find.
This is also a form of "random" descent. Currently, as long as the world has the quota, it will scatter Creation Stone fragments, but the drop probability among Night Watchers is greater.
The more contributions made to the world, the higher the probability a Creation Stone Fragment will fall before them.
Maybe while doing tasks, exterminating rats or Evil Gods, a piece might appear spontaneously nearby, some even birthed within a person.
This situation has precedent, the Night Watchers currently have a member with a Creation Stone embedded inside, known as the "Lucky One" by everyone.
As for that Creation Stone, Kana hasn't taken it out of them.
Generally implying, if a Stone of Creation births inside a biological entity, it's considered a fate and blessing, when to use it is decided by the descendent individual.
"This counts as an unexpected joy, should be descended due to my contribution?" Abis asked with a smile.
"This was burned out with your flame, it's definitely your credit."
