MMB Chapter 57 A Sword Cuts Out a World Announcement
Chapter 57 A Sword Cuts Out a World Announcement
Entrance to the Wailing Valley.
The initial excitement here has largely subsided.
Only a few adventurers who genuinely wanted to run the dungeon remained.
They formed small groups of two or three, or hawked their newly acquired equipment.
The air was filled with a dry and dull atmosphere.
"Damn it, another pile of junk. The drop rate is just too low."
A sorcerer who had just come out of a dungeon threw several pieces of white equipment on the ground, cursing.
"Be content, at least you have experience. Otherwise, how will you level up?" his companion, a warrior, said in a gruff voice.
"Sigh, when will I be able to grind through dungeons like that rich guy, as easily as strolling through the streets..."
Before he finished speaking, a commotion broke out in the distance.
Everyone instinctively looked in the direction of the sound.
On the horizon, a white blur hurtled toward the horizon at an absurd speed, kicking up clouds of dust.
Its iconicly enormous size, its snow-white skin with a hint of comicality, and the golden bell around its neck...
"It's...it's him!"
"That big shot!"
"He's here again! What's he doing here? Does he even need a normal mode dungeon?"
The scene fell silent instantly.
All eyes, a mixture of awe, curiosity, greed, and bewilderment, were focused on that figure.
Chen You landed gracefully, his ascension robe fluttering without wind, his body shrouded in spiritual energy, making him appear like an immortal.
He didn't even glance at the adventurers around him.
His goal was very clear.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Chen You walked step by step towards the ancient wooden plaque next to the dungeon entrance.
This time, there was no one blocking the way.
The wooden plaque is inscribed with a description of the dungeon:
Wailing Valley (LV10-LV15)
[Synopsis: On this ancient battlefield, the resentment of countless soldiers converged, forming a terrifying vengeful spirit...]
The players were completely dumbfounded.
"Why...why is he looking at the wooden sign?"
"Could there be some hidden mission on this wooden sign?"
"That's not right, I've already licked it, but there was no reaction at all!"
A goblin player muttered something under his breath.
Among the crowd, an elite player from the [Moon Goddess's Radiance] guild immediately reported to Yueying, who was far away in the city.
"Manager, he's here again... He's looking at the wooden plaque introducing the dungeon, and he's behaving very strangely."
Just when everyone thought Chen You was about to uncover some earth-shattering secret, he made his move.
"Zheng—"
A clear, resonant sword cry rang out.
Chen You drew his Dao sword.
The Dao Sword was drawn.
The sword's blade, like a pool of autumn water, shimmered with a cool, clear light under the somber sky of the Howling Valley.
The runes engraved on the ascension robe shimmered with the surge of Chen You's spiritual power, reflecting the brilliance of the Dao sword.
He seemed to have become a radiant being.
The surrounding players all held their breath.
"He's drawn his sword! What's he going to do?"
"Is the big boss finally going to make a move? Could this wooden sign be some kind of hidden boss?"
"Impossible! I peed on it last week and nothing happened!" a kobold retorted.
The goblin player who claimed to have licked the wooden sign widened his tiny green eyes and looked at the kobold.
Behind the crowd, the elite players of [Moon Goddess's Radiance] had already shared everything they saw with Yueying, who was far away in Zhaocheng.
Yueying sat on the luxurious chair, her brows furrowed.
"Look at the wooden sign? Draw your sword?"
She couldn't understand Chen You's logic at all.
Just when everyone's confusion and speculation reached their peak, Chen You made his move.
There were no fancy opening moves, no complicated sword techniques.
It's the simplest and most direct action.
Swing your sword and strike!
The Ascension Sword in his hand drew a visible white wave of energy through the air.
With a sharp whistling sound, it slammed down hard on the weathered old wooden plaque!
"Snap—!"
A crisp sound.
To everyone's astonishment, the replica wooden plaque, which had stood there for countless years, shattered instantly!
Wood chips flew everywhere, exploding in all directions.
Holy crap!
"He...he removed the dungeon sign?!"
"Are you crazy! Damaging public facilities?"
"What exactly is he trying to do?!"
The adventurers were instantly in an uproar.
There was astonishment, there was anger, but more than anything, there was a utterly absurd bewilderment.
You can play it like this?
However, the next second, everyone's voices were stuck in their throats.
The sky has changed.
The sky above the Howling Valley, which was originally just shrouded in dark clouds, suddenly became stormy without warning!
Thick black clouds, like boiling ink, churned and converged wildly, forming a huge, slowly rotating vortex.
At the center of the vortex, dark red lightning bolts darted about like dragons and snakes, emitting terrifying crackling sounds.
A chilling pressure descended from the sky, enveloping the entire entrance to the valley.
All players, regardless of level, felt a tremor originating from their very soul under this divine might, their legs went weak, and they almost collapsed to their knees.
"What...what's wrong with the sky?"
"Is this... a global event?"
Just as everyone was horrified, a thick, dark red lightning bolt, as thick as a bucket, suddenly struck down from the center of the cloud vortex!
Its target is neither Chen You nor any other player.
Instead, it was the pile of wooden plaques that had just been chopped up!
"boom!!!"
The thunder struck, but instead of a deafening roar, it fell eerily silent.
A dark red light exploded, forming a huge light shield that completely enveloped the area.
Countless broken wood chips, drawn by an invisible force in the red light, floated up as if they had been given life.
They spun and rearranged rapidly, entwined with wisps of dark red electric light.
A brand new wooden plaque slowly took shape in the red light.
It was larger than before, and its entire body had a dark, blood-red color.
On the cards, the ancient characters are no longer simple carvings, but seem to be written with flowing blood, exuding an aura of ominousness and violence.
Wailing Valley (LV10-LV15)
[Synopsis: On this ancient battlefield, the resentment of countless soldiers converged, forming a terrifying vengeful spirit...]
In addition to this basic information, two new lines of blood-red text appeared at the bottom of the wooden sign.
Destruction mode is now enabled.
[The Destroyer: Chen You]
The red light faded, and the thunderclouds dissipated.
The sky returned to normal, as if the earth-shattering scene just now was merely an illusion.
But the blood-red wooden plaque, radiating an ominous aura, and the glaring name on it, were telling everyone—
The world is different now.
The scene was deathly silent.
All the players were frozen in place, staring blankly at the sign, then at the figure standing with a sword in hand, his Taoist robe fluttering, his mind completely blank.
So... you can play it like this?
What does "Destruction Mode" mean?
Just as the adventurers on site were still processing this earth-shattering change, an even more devastating bomb exploded in the sky above the entire "Origin Realm".
A golden system announcement, covering all major cities, all maps, and the field of vision of all players, appeared out of nowhere!
[World Announcement]
Player "Chen You" has successfully unlocked the Destruction Mode of the [Wailing Valley] dungeon! As the unlocker, his name will be permanently engraved on the dungeon's boundary marker!
["Destruction Mode" is a high-difficulty challenge mode where the strength and number of monsters are greatly increased, making it extremely difficult to complete.]
However, the drop rewards are exceptionally generous, with a very low probability of obtaining special items.
This mode can only be challenged once per day, and all players can enter in a team.
