Online Game: Start as a Godslayer, Get Stronger by Killing Monsters

"Boss, should we continue, or...?"

Seeing the extremely low aura of Kuanglong and Lieyang, the other underlings cautiously inquired.

These words were spoken.

Kuanglong and Lieyang roared, "Continue! We must continue! We've already wasted far too much time tracking this kid! And this is only the first day of the server launch. If we can't take him down in one fell swoop, we've practically wasted two whole days compared to other guilds!"

"Yes! The boss is right!"

The rest of the people responded immediately.

Seeing the high morale of the crowd, Kuanglong and Lieyang were very satisfied. They nodded and continued, "Then we'll wait here until that kid finishes defeating the BOSS. Then we'll go and deal with him!"

Then he continued encouragingly, "Don't be discouraged, everyone! Even if that kid gets another hidden boss as a reward, it's just benefiting us! He's doing all the work for free!"

"Yes! The boss is right!"

Morale surged again.

But Kuanglong and Lieyang's expressions fell again.

Without him.

It was all because the three underlings who had scouted ahead of us had sent a message.

[Mad Dragon, Lone Wolf]: Boss! Something terrible has happened! All our stats have gone to 0!

[Kuanglong, Jianjiu]: Not only that, boss, all our equipment is gone too!

[Mad Dragon, Overlord]: Money! We've run out of money!

"What?!"

After checking the message, Kuanglong and Lieyang quickly replied.

[Mad Dragon, Blazing Sun]: Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?

As a result, all three of them sent screenshots.

The level is still there, but everything else is gone.

"Damn it! It must be a bug!" Kuanglong and Lieyang had no choice but to tell the rest of their underlings what they had just heard. Then they waved their hands and said, "Brothers, it seems we have to go. Bugs are always unpredictable. My equipment absolutely cannot have any problems."

The underlings were extremely disappointed, but they could only obey their boss's advice and silently leave.

The siege targeting Lin Ye, which Lin Ye was completely unaware of from beginning to end, came to an end.

In the fourth level, Lin Ye was also extremely angry.

"Is this some kind of bug? I'm the only one here, where did all the other players come from? And even though my inventory is big, it's not a trash can!"

He cursed inwardly, then took out the coins that had just fallen from his backpack and threw them away without hesitation.

After throwing it away, he picked up the wooden sword and used [Sword Shattering the Universe] on the last mechanical puppet.

As the last doll collapsed, a blood-red settlement page appeared.

Meanwhile, the bald monk next to him is having his worldview redefined.

"Esteemed benefactor, you..." The bald monk hesitated for a moment before replying, "May I come over now?"

Lin Ye deactivated the scorching aura and nodded in response.

Seeing that the red aura around Lin Ye disappeared, the bald monk hesitated for a while, and only after confirming that he would not be harmed did he slowly approach Lin Ye.

The two met up, and the stone gate leading to the fifth level rose up with a loud rumble.

Seeing this, the bald monk clasped his hands together and bowed to Lin Yeshen, saying, "Thank you, benefactor. If it weren't for your help, I would never have been able to get here on my own."

Lin Ye smiled and nodded.

The two of them stepped into the fifth level together.

The fifth level presents no further challenges. There are no mechanisms or stone tablets on the walls on the left and right sides, only several portraits and some inscriptions of scriptures.

Directly in front of you is a stone base about half the height of a person.

Presented on the base is that calm heart, which flickers slightly and glows with a pale blue light.

Upon seeing the amulet, the bald monk's joy was palpable, as if he were a child who had finally received a long-awaited treasure.

But Lin Ye sighed inwardly.

Yes, the reward for this hidden quest isn't actually Calm Mind.

It was the staff in the bald monk's hand.

To gain a calm mind, one must break the agreement, act ruthlessly, and forcibly seize it.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."

Even Lin Ye, at this moment, had no choice but to lower his head, close his eyes, and apologize for the sins he was about to commit.

only......

"Huh!?"

-99999!

[Ding! (Golden Necklace) The Core of Molten Core has been destroyed, and "Rebirth of Molten Core" has been triggered - restores 40% of health and deals [Strength x 200%] fire damage to enemies within 8 meters.]

The amulet on Lin Ye's chest burst open with a wave of fire, releasing its last rays of light to restore his health.

The bald monk quickly retreated, a look of surprise on his face, then said meaningfully, "You can clearly speak, so why pretend to be mute?"

Lin Ye looked at the bald monk in disbelief.

Betrayal, yet another betrayal.

He's gotten used to it; he's become numb to it.

Rather than dwelling on that, he was more interested in knowing what methods the other party had used to cause such incredible damage.

In my previous life, this matter was never mentioned in the description of this mission!

Upon seeing Lin Ye's appearance, the bald monk burst into hearty laughter, "Hahaha! What you want to do is no longer important, but I really have to thank you. If it weren't for you, how could I have escaped the mirror's shackles?"

"What do you mean?" Lin Ye picked up the wooden sword, his shock beyond words.

"So, I mean..." The bald monk's voice gradually became hoarse, until it was indistinguishable from a male's or female's, like the low battery warning sound of an old DVD player, "Thanks to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, his entire face began to contort.

Lin Ye's pupils contracted sharply as he suddenly remembered something.

"The one I killed with my sword energy during the third trial wasn't a clone of myself, but rather a clone of the original monk who came in with me..."

Lin Ye continued to look at the person before him, muttering, "And you! You are my true clone. You copied my power, but how is that possible?"

and many more!

BUG!

Lin Ye suddenly remembered the vocabulary he had used to complain earlier.

He then realized

There won't be any problems with "Divinity: Gods & Realms" because it's not a real game, but a real, existing world.

That's... outside!

It must be something outside; the device I used to modify "God Realm" is malfunctioning!

But now was not the time for him to continue thinking. Lin Ye quickly raised his wooden sword and swung his sword energy at the distorted creation in front of him.

"Sword Shatters the Universe!"

Unexpectedly, the twisted creation sneered, conjured a sticky wooden sword from its body, and then shouted, "Sword that shatters the universe!"

Two sword energies launched one after the other and collided simultaneously.

The moment of collision was like fine snow falling into boiling water.

Lin Ye's sword energy instantly shattered the fake sword energy, and then completely dismantled the distorted creation.

"Gah—!"

The twisted creation roared in resentment, but in the end it turned into nothing but ashes.

Lin Ye gasped for breath until a familiar pop-up window appeared in front of him, and only then did his tense nerves relax again.

[God-Slaying Mark +1]

The hidden quest has failed.

No time to worry about that, Lin Ye strode forward, grabbed the Heart of Calm from the base, and then used the Return Scroll.

[Obtained (Special Amulet) Calm Heart: Can be bound to one skill, reducing its cooldown by 30%]

His entire body was enveloped in light, and he disappeared from the temple.
