Jade City wasn't far from The Land of Darkness.
The powerful aura of the seventh-tier blood-red demon wolf made their journey swift and unobstructed. Within a day, they arrived back at Fla City.
"John, how did it go? Did you win over Malina?" Sini, who was also in Fla City,
imdiately asked upon learning of John's return.
"What are you talking about? I'm not interested in Malina!" John replied, feigning righteousness.
Sini rolled her eyes at John, disappointed. "Are you even capable? I gave you the perfect opportunity to be alone with her, and you still didn't make a move? Do I need to step in and help you?"
John opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
Are the won around just too straightforward?
"You don't already know if I'm capable?" he hinted, feeling a bit frustrated. If it wasn't so inconvenient right now, he would've loved to teach her a lesson.
Plus, Sini's figure was every bit as good as Malina's. He hadn't seen Sini in stockings yet, and the thought intrigued him.
"Boss!" At that mont, Ritchie, having heard of John's arrival, ca out to greet him.
He imdiately noticed the blood-red demon wolf, his eyes lighting up with excitent. "Boss, is this guy for ?"
John nodded.
The blood-red demon wolf gave Ritchie a cold glance and warned, "Kid, I'm only serving you for three years, and you can't force to do anything. If there's danger, I'll run first and won't care about your survival."
Ritchie, however, didn't mind at all. He walked up and patted the blood-red demon wolf's shoulder cheerfully, saying, "Don't worry. From now on, we're brothers. I won't force you to do anything you don't want to do."
The blood-red demon wolf frowned, then sighed in resignation, "You're a kid after my own heart. Alright, I'll call you brother."
John was speechless. These two had just t, exchanged a few words, and now they were calling each other brothers?
But despite the demon wolf's arrogance, his temperant really did match well with Ritchie's.
John had a feeling that the blood-red demon wolf probably wouldn't leave after all.
"Head to the City Lord's Manor. I have so matters to discuss," he interrupted, heading toward the center of the city.
Ritchie let the blood-red demon wolf roam freely and quickly caught up to John. "Boss, I have sothing to report. I've secured approval to expand the Fla Legion and can recruit another 5,000 soldiers."
"Good. That's sothing you can handle on your own," John nodded, acknowledging that the Fla Legion was part of the military, and he wouldn't interfere with its operations.
Ritchie continued, "There's one more thing. The military wants to build a stronghold and has asked for help from the Blues Family and ."
This wasn't a major issue, and having the military establish a stronghold would benefit their developnt.
"Do you need to step in?" John asked.
"No need. The Fla Legion and the Blues Family have both grown stronger recently, and we can handle the monster tide. Besides, we could use the practice," Ritchie replied, declining John's offer.
He knew that if John got involved, there would be no opportunity for them to gain the experience they needed.
A flower sheltered in a greenhouse cannot withstand storms. His Fla Legion must be a resilient and formidable force!
John agreed with his perspective.
The group made their way to the study in the City Lord's Manor.
John began, "Have there been any updates on the Mike White Family or the Azure Family?"
Both Sini and Ritchie shook their heads.
The Mike White Family had descended into the world of Gods and seed to have vanished into thin air. Aside from appearing on the level rankings, there had been no other news about them.
The Azure Family had also been quiet recently, seemingly giving up on targeting the Blues Family.
Ritchie, curious, asked, "Boss, is sothing going on?"
"Yeah," John replied, briefly explaining the situation about the activation of the Faction System.
"Faction System?" The two of them were puzzled; they hadn't heard anything about a Faction System.
However, the fact that powerhouses above the seventh tier would descend into the world of Gods clearly indicated that this was a direct threat to them.
"Boss, are you planning to stop the Faction System from being activated?" Ritchie knew John well-he liked to keep everything within his control.
With the Faction System activated and powerful beings arriving, it was clear that this situation was beyond their control.
John did want to stop it, but there were no leads to follow.
He looked at Ritchie and instructed, "Keep an eye on the Mike White Family and the Azure Family. If there's any way to stop them, do it."
"Got it," Ritchie agreed, then hesitated before asking, "Boss, should I report everything to
you?"
"No, I have other matters to attend to," John said, then shared his plan to enter the Abyss
with them.
"No way!" Sini imdiately objected, anger in her voice. "Have you forgotten the danger you were in last ti? You can't go in there again!"
Last ti, when John suddenly disappeared, she was worried sick. There was no way she would let him take such a risk again.
"Yeah, Boss. We should think of another way," Ritchie also disagreed.
"Don't worry, it won't be dangerous this ti. I've obtained the Abyss key, which allows
to enter and exit freely," John reassured them, though he wasn't entirely truthful.
To freely enter and exit the Abyss, he would need to control 10% of the dark elent's The
power of laws.
His goal this ti was to increase his mastery of the laws of dark elents.
As long as he could hunt down 900 sixth-tier epic-level Abyss demons, he would Plunder 900 points of Dark Elent Affinity, converting it into 9% of the laws of dark elents. "Really?" Sini asked skeptically. "Then I'm coming with you this ti. If there's any danger, I
can help you."
She was referring to the Fox Demon Curse.
"No," John refused firmly. The Abyss was too dangerous, even with the presence of Tony and Ben, two ninth-tier powerhouses. Other powerful beings still had their eyes on him.
Especially that three-headed black dragon.
Though John's strength had increased significantly, he was still no match for an eighth-tier legendary creature.
Moreover, Sini didn't have the Lifesaver skill or talent, aning that if anything went wrong
in the Abyss, it could lead to true death.
He wasn't willing to take that risk.
Sini opened her mouth to say sothing more, but John cut her off, "I promise there won't be
any danger this ti. Besides, the Fox Demon Curse has already flared up several tis and
has weakened significantly. I'm able to control it now."
The recent instances of the Fox Demon Curse had still been intense, but the duration had
shortened considerably.
John felt that with his willpower, he could withstand it.
"Really?" Sini still wasn't convinced.
But she knew that once John made up his mind, it was hard to change it. She had no choice but
to relent.
"Boss, how long will you be gone this ti?" Ritchie asked.
This was also what Sini was most concerned about.
John shook his head. "I'm not sure. But I won't be gone for just a short ti."
He needed to hunt down 900 sixth-tier epic-level Abyss demons, which was a massive undertaking. The biggest challenge was that these demons were scattered, aning he'd have
to spend a lot of ti tracking them down.
John continued, "I've already spoken with Anna. If the Faction System is activated while I'm gone, don't engage them directly. If there's any danger, retreat to Death Land imdiately."
Death Land was the sacred ground of the dark elves and an independent space. He speculated that those powerful beings wouldn't be able to easily interfere with Death Land.
Even if the Two-Winged Angel he had previously slain could sohow lock onto Death Land, entering it wouldn't be easy.
"John, when are you leaving?" Sini asked, her tone filled with reluctance.
"I'll explore the Elental Secret Area one more ti before heading to the Abyss," he
replied.
The Elental Secret Area had reset, and he planned to gather another batch of Attribute
Fusion Stones for future use.
Sini quickly added, "I'm coming with you."
If the Fox Demon Curse flared up during that ti, she would be there to help.
He didn't refuse, and they set out imdiately. With Sini by his side, they took to the skies
using Sword Flight and headed toward the ruins of Green Moon.
Soon, the two arrived at the Green Moon ruins.
John used the Elental Key to enter the Elental Secret Area.
The elental golems had respawned, still at the fourth and fifth tiers. With his current strength, dealing with these creatures was effortless. Hellfire swept through the area, followed by a massive Tremor... John unleashed several area-of-effect spells, engulfing the elental golems. In just a few minutes, over 30,000 elental golems had been slaughtered, leaving behind only fragnts
of Attribute Fusion Stones.
"John, you've gotten even stronger!" Sini pouted, feeling a bit frustrated. She had been
working so hard recently, yet the gap between them hadn't closed at all-in fact, it seed to
be widening.
John could guess what she was thinking and offered so reassurance. "You've switched to
the Divine Archer class. Your strength won't be weak in the later stages." "Yeah, I think so too." Sini nodded, her smile returning.
In the battles over the past few days, she had already noticed the power of the Divine Archer
class. While she might not reach John's level, her strength would far surpass most others of
the sa rank once she mastered the advanced skills.
The two of them collected the Attribute Fusion Stone fragnts, gaining a total of 334
Attribute Fusion Stones.
John handed them all to Sini for safekeeping.
Since the elental golems wouldn't respawn anyti soon, they left the Elental Secret
Area.
"John, are you leaving now?" Sini asked, holding onto his arm, her voice filled with
reluctance.
"Don't worry, I won't be gone for too long," he replied, feeling a bit reluctant himself as he
looked at Sini's cute, endearing expression.
Sini lifted her head, smiling brightly. "Master, I've prepared a few pairs of stockings. When
you co back, I'll wear them just for you."
"Uh?" John was taken aback, wondering if Sini could read his mind. How did she know what he
was thinking?
Seeing his stunned expression, Sini grinned mischievously. "Malina told everything. She said you were constantly asking her for photos of her legs in stockings."
John was montarily speechless. He hadn't expected Malina to be so cunning, stirring
things up between him and Sini behind his back.
He quickly tried to explain, "Don't get the wrong idea-I was just ssing with her. You have
no idea how arrogant she usually is. I wasn't interested in those pictures at all. I deleted them ages ago." "Really?" Sini still seed skeptical. "So, I misunderstood you. If you don't like it, then I guess I'll just throw those stockings away."
"Wait, no!" John panicked. "It's not that I don't like stockings-I just don't like them on others. But I'd definitely love them on you."
