How Level Zero Devil Destroys Player Experience

Just like a silent ceremony performed by wizards in the Middle Ages, every corner of the hall was filled with solemnity and dignity.

However, at this solemn moment, a strange noise suddenly came from the door of the hall. Along with the sound of the door being pushed open, a knight in armor walked in with a white dove and whispered softly in the ear of the figure sitting on the first seat in the hall.

"Lord Claire, [Eternal Night's Sorrow - Lilina] has descended upon the area near Soma Town. Soma Town has requested that we assist adventurers in resolving the unrest caused by it in the forest ruins."

"The ritual cannot be stopped. It's just a rebellious vampire. Leave it to Kai and the others to deal with."

The knight nodded, without any questioning of the order, and turned and left quickly. Until his figure disappeared at the door, there was still no sound in the hall, as if nothing had happened.

……

Regional announcement: Because the power of [Lilina, the Sorrow of Eternal Night] is too strong, countless adventurers who bravely sacrificed their lives have fallen. The Holy Light Monastery has decided to send knights to eliminate it. All players are requested to assist the knights of the Dark Gray Monastery in pacifying the [Eternal Night of Bloodthirsty Frenzy] in the forest ruins.

At this moment, everyone in the forest ruins, including players who had just resurrected from Soma Town or were preparing to join the battle, saw a new system announcement pop up in front of them.

"NPC took action?"

"This Holy Light Monastery sounds quite powerful."

"There seems to be something going on over there at the teleportation array!"

Not only the players, but even I was stunned when I saw another new regional announcement, "Wait, how could the Holy Light Monastery be involved with the power of the Orwen Empire?"

It is not surprising that factions are involved in the incident, but something like [Eternal Night's Bloodthirsty Frenzy] only occurs in one area and does not affect any faction. Logically, NPCs will not take action.

Could it be that the noise I made was a little too loud?

"No, I just thought it was boring and wanted to have some fun."

"Love...Alice!" The voice next to my ear made me almost jump up, but I didn't dare to be careless with my hands. I just felt sorry for the players around me who were suddenly blown away by the surging black shadows.

I didn't care, and said with a hint of gnashing teeth, "You bastard..."

"What did you call me? I didn't hear it clearly." Although Alice's voice was lazy, anyone could feel a hint of threat in it.

"Respected Lady Alice..." Before she could vent her resentment, she succumbed to the pressure of reality in an instant, forcing me to secretly criticize the evil authoritarianism in my heart.

"That's good. That's the right thing to do." Alice's tone clearly revealed a hint of joy.

"So what exactly are you doing here..."

I don't believe Alice's previous statement that she was having fun.

As the intelligent optical computer of the era, it naturally has strict evaluation criteria. After all, the operating logic of the game world is built on such a precise machine-like foundation.

However, I seem to have forgotten that someone had simply assigned himself the role of the Demon King.

"Of course it's for the show."

"..."

If I were to use one word to describe my mood at the moment, it would probably be speechless, followed by the uncontrollable complaints and the players around me who were inexplicably killed instantly.

"No, don't you think you are too idle?"

It is obvious that the operation of the era requires constant attention to many issues, but you have to focus on your own affairs. I really can't find a more appropriate description than this.

"I don't think so. I'm working diligently. As the Dark Lord, and as the first event in the game, I need to monitor it myself."

"Bullshit, surveillance will also involve NPC forces, you really are here for fun!"

"It's been discovered."

“…You said it yourself at the beginning!”

"Well, I just wanted to make things more interesting. But I didn't expect you to come up with so many new tricks in such a short time. It turned out to be a good decision to let you be the Demon King."

"What a funny guy! How can you cause trouble for others like this?" If Alice appeared in front of me now, I would definitely pick her up by the collar.

Of course, the premise is to stand on a chair.

"Don't worry, since I've decided to increase the difficulty, I will give you some compensation. You can treat this as a challenge."

I was a little confused by Alice's words, but the system prompt sound that followed answered my confusion.

System: Trigger event [Eternal Night's Bloodthirsty Frenzy] Special Mission - [Holy Light's Defeat]

Mission: The Defeat of the Holy Light

Mission description: The Holy Light Monastery has sent knights to quell the unrest in the forest ruins. Use the strongest power of [Eternal Night's Sorrow] to destroy all their pride.

Aren't special missions in events only triggered by players? And...

"This special building, and these materials?"

"These are in preparation for the second-level dungeon function of the Heart of Herontis. I originally wanted to use them as a [Newbie Gift Pack], but seeing how hard you've worked, I'll just give them to you as a little motivation."

"I see……"

I was stunned for a while, then I immediately reacted, "Wait, it was given away for free in the beginning!"

"Compared to this, those guys are already here."

It wasn’t so much Alice’s words that brought me back to my senses, but rather the dawn that pierced through the dusk like an arrow.

I had no intention of continuing the topic of the girls' tea party with Alice, but even so, when my body wanted to react, it was too late to dodge, and I could only take the attack head-on.

-328

"Wait, there must be something wrong."

I had already gotten used to the single-digit damage caused by the players around me, so I couldn't help but open my mouth in surprise.

Although he did have a talent that increased the damage he received from holy attributes, it was still too much to lose 3% of his health at once.

"From the time when the black crows rise, until the dusk is dark and the stars fall, I swear by the bonfire at dusk that my lifelong beliefs will follow."

The solemn and dignified prayers made me subconsciously cast my gaze towards the conspicuous figures at the edge of the forest ruins.

The heroic female knights in standard armor with a gold background and gray patterns, and the nuns and priests exuding a sacred aura in every move.

The level 30 elite displayed behind the name can fully explain why the previous attack was able to take away so much of my health.

They passed through the crowd and gradually moved towards the center of the forest ruins. The surrounding players were pushed away by an inexplicable force, just like Moses holding the magic wand and parting the endless ocean.

"I swear in the name of the Holy Light Monastery."

As if sensing something, their eyes met the next moment.

For some reason, there was an inexplicable pause in the words that were uttered, but it was only for a moment, and what followed was still the firm slogan.

"Purify all the unclean things that have fallen into darkness."

"Tsk, is this fanatical belief?"

I sighed and added, "That's why I hate Holy Light, you bastard."

……

……

There are two exams tomorrow morning and afternoon, so I may not be able to update.

What kind of exam? Emmm, two hours in the morning to do 120 multiple-choice questions in five categories, and in the afternoon to write a long essay based on the materials. You should be able to guess it.

So I randomly offer a lucky little reader to bless me to pass the exam (fog)

Chapter 57: The Monastery Attacks (Part 2)

In this way, I have never been very fond of Holy Light.

No matter if it was as a dark word mage in the previous life, or now as a vampire who is restrained by holy damage.

Or when it comes to some obscene things, people always want to kick out the paladin who was recruited by someone unknown, which leads to the fact that they never have a good impression of the church of the light camp.

Perhaps this is also the reason why I have an indissoluble bond with the Demon King.

But after saying so much, I also hope that you can understand a little bit -

I don't want to be hit in the face by another Holy Light from the opposing priest.

"Really? Does your doctrine allow you to do such a despicable thing as attacking without warning? I'm in so much pain that I'm about to cry."

Before the players around me could react, I had already flown into the air, rapidly closing the distance with the priesthood in the distance.

"terribly sorry……"

I didn't expect the other party to reply to me so friendly.

So if I hadn't seen the light condensed in front of the staff, I would have been deceived by the other party's sincere attitude.

"What you say and what you do are totally inconsistent." After narrowly avoiding the attack from the front, I couldn't help but complain.

The priestess who attacked me turned her gaze away, as if she was too ashamed to look me in the face. However, seeing such a strange look in my eyes made me feel confused.

But before he could think more, the golden figure approaching quickly from the opposite side interrupted his thoughts.

I was just planning to use my flying advantage to avoid the entanglement of the two paladins, but I suddenly caught a glimpse of two shadows coming at me like streams of light.

Hammer of Judgment.

I recognized it at the first sight. This is a non-targeted skill that the Paladin learns at level 30. It is one of the skills with the longest control time in the early stage.

"Are you from the national javelin team?"

An ordinary paladin can only throw about five yards at most. Are you planning to participate in the Olympics with this twenty-yard throw, or is this the strength of the so-called elite NPC?

I couldn't help but complain in my heart, but I didn't dare to slow down at all. The eternal night behind me turned into a swift whip shadow, fiercely knocking down the two attacking hammers.

"See if you can stop me."

He easily threw the two knights away, and just when he was feeling proud of himself, he suddenly reacted.

Wait, where did the other knight go?

However, no teacher would give answers to such a careless guy. The only thing that answered him was the sound of the wind whistling behind him.

boom.

I was hit hard on the back of my head and fell from the air without a doubt. Even though I managed to land safely, I looked very embarrassed.

"It hurts, it hurts, you bastards are too cruel QAQ"

I covered my head and was about to run away once the dizziness was over, but when I looked up, I saw three tall figures surrounding me.

"I'm sorry..." The evasive gaze, the sincere tone, the extremely familiar form of apology.

Equally familiar is the heavy hammer that falls along with the apology.

"I've already told you, don't say things differently than you do!"

A tiger in distress will be bullied, let alone a loli in distress, or rather, the latter's fragility is more likely to arouse everyone's desire to bully her.

The players around who had been suppressed for a long time suddenly found an opportunity to vent. They followed the three female paladins and unleashed all the attacks in their hands.

It’s just that most people can’t help but feel a little weird.

"I always feel like I'm helping a third party to kill my wife."

"Then why are you still releasing fireballs so happily?"

"If it weren't for the mission, I wouldn't bully my wife like this. It really hurts."

Previously, when I triggered the special mission "The Rout of the Holy Light", all the players in the forest ruins also triggered their own event missions together. However, unlike me, they triggered two missions.

One is the [Glory of the Brave] that assists the knights in attacking [Lilina, the Eternal Night's Sorrow], and the other is the [Fortitude of the Guardian] that protects the clergy in the rear from harm while clearing out the surrounding dark bats.

Although the players in the forest ruins had similar practices before, it is obvious that after the event mission came out, their actions became more purposeful and the organization's manpower became more clearly divided.

"The frequency of these guys' attacks seems to have increased."

Kong Xiangzou looked at the dark bats that were attacking more and more frantically. He reached out from his quiver, grabbed three sharp arrows, put them on the bowstring, and aimed them at the dark bat leader not far away.

"They should be in charge over there, otherwise, this mission would be too easy." Zhen Mo beside him smiled slightly. The mission he was referring to was naturally the Guardian's Fortitude.

The two priests seemed to divide the group of players in the back into two groups. One group consisted of their Star Mythology, Rose Heart and Aion, and the other group consisted of Storm, Ares and the Empire Epic.

The one they are protecting is a goddess named Shim, who seems to be specialized in priest-related abilities. She has the aura of attribute enhancement and life recovery, and every once in a while she will cast group healing spells to rescue players who are low on health.

On the other side, Bili, who was protecting, possessed powerful holy magic. She could clear out the monsters around her with a wave of her hand. At this time, most of the dark bats with little blood left were naturally taken away by the players next to them.

It can be said that both sides have their own advantages.
