Virus King - Chapter 128

Chapter 128: Speedrun at Light Speed! Demon King Chen Bai!

TL: YYang

After killing the demon Orlando, Chen Yiqiang’s task was complete. The demon village, much like the old sewer from before, gradually transformed into a secret realm dungeon.

Back then, Chen Bai had been in a rush to save Meng Meng and hadn’t paid much attention. Now, after a night’s rest, he returned. The small village surrounded by hills had finally completed its transformation!

[Would you like to enter the Hard-level Secret Realm Dungeon: ‘Demon Village (Level 10-15)’?]

The level of this demon village was unexpectedly high!

Chen Bai hadn’t anticipated this, though upon reflection, it made sense. When it came to demons, such circumstances were naturally within the realm of possibility.

With that thought, Chen Bai glanced at Meng Meng and chose to enter without hesitation!

After stepping through the swirling vortex, it was still the same small village.

However, the once corpse-laden scene was completely gone.

In its place was an eerie, sinister atmosphere and an indescribable sense of occultism.

Especially notable were the strange, incessant voices whispering at his ears.

It felt like the murmurs of an evil god!

[You have entered the special state ‘Murmur.’ Spirit -1 per minute! Mental clarity slightly reduced!]

“Hiss!?”

Chen Bai’s eyebrows twitched. For a dungeon at the hard level to have such an effect was truly unexpected!

Dungeons with debuff states upon entry were the most annoying types.

They were also the kind of secret realm dungeons that most Evolvers were reluctant to enter.

To Chen Bai’s surprise, this was one of them!

Fortunately, both Chen Bai and Meng Meng possessed extraordinary spirit strength. They could endure the dungeon’s effects for an extended period.

Silhouettes began to appear throughout the village. Just like at the start, the villagers who had died yesterday in the valley of the demon village were now revived. With the aid of the Cosmic Will, they had returned to life, only to be forever trapped within this secret realm dungeon, unable to truly escape.

“Roar!!?”

A sound that no human should be able to produce erupted from the villagers adorned with demonic tattoos as they charged toward Chen Bai.

Their speed was far beyond that of ordinary people!

Unfortunately for them, Chen Bai didn’t even bother using spiritual perception. Reaching out with both hands, he effortlessly restrained them!

Then, turning to Meng Meng, he said: “Meng Meng, kill him!”

“Yes!”

Meng Meng understood Chen Bai’s intentions. Previously, she had embarrassed herself by fainting from her own Hell Black Flame when facing such weaklings. It had been quite humiliating.

Now, Chen Bai was clearly giving her an opportunity to hone her combat skills!

Hell Black Flame erupted once again!

This kind of overkill, like using a cannon to kill a mosquito, left Chen Bai slightly speechless. However, he couldn’t expect too much from Meng Meng.

Under the scorching flames of the Hell Black Flame, the demon-blood-tainted villager was reduced to ashes in less than a second.

Meng Meng, realizing her strength, stared at the ashes on the ground and muttered to herself: “So, I’m this strong?!”

Chen Bai rolled his eyes at her. He gave up entirely on the idea of training Meng Meng. She was better off idling away and leveling up through the No. 001 Group Chat.

Making her a combat-oriented talent didn’t seem realistic at this point!

Considering the dungeon’s cooldown period wouldn’t be short, Chen Bai decided not to waste time on Meng Meng anymore!

In an instant, his speed surged as he dashed toward the village’s depths!

His entire body was engulfed in black flames!

Inferno Burn!

On Chen Bai, the Hell Black Flame was used to drastically enhance his strength!

This was also the first time Chen Bai had employed it.

The terrifying power brought by the hellish flames filled Chen Bai with an overwhelming urge to unleash his fury.

At this moment, even the demon-blood-tainted villagers, despite their lack of clarity, trembled in fear upon seeing Chen Bai shrouded in the Hell Black Flame.

They dared not approach!

But Chen Bai clearly wasn’t about to show mercy.

With the strengthening effects of the Darklight Virus, his devouring speed had also increased significantly!

These low-level creatures, similar in rank to himself but far inferior, were utterly insignificant.

With a single punch, Chen Bai would shatter them. The black flames would envelop their remains, completing the devouring process in an instant!

Chen Bai didn’t even bother acknowledging the prompts from the Cosmic Will before moving on to his next target.

It was a massacre without any suspense!

That’s right—

This was slaughter!

These ordinary demon villagers stood no chance against Chen Bai, who was like a tiger among sheep.

They couldn’t muster even the slightest resistance!

And yet, this was merely the beginning.

The ultimate boss of this Demon Village was no longer the pure-blooded demon from before.

However, with the transformation into a secret realm, the difficulty had increased exponentially!

“Despicable human, I shall offer your blood to the Abyss! To the demon lords of the Abyss…”

Chen Bai couldn’t even be bothered to listen to the boss’s nonsense!

Hell’s flames still burned on his body.

Apart from the demon villagers, this dungeon also included six level 12 Demon Attendants and the boss who had just spoken—a level 15 Dark Priest!

For any Evolver, the difference between creatures above level 10 and below it was like heaven and earth.

Monsters above level 10, even within secret realm dungeons, had already undergone their profession transfer!

That was exactly the case with these enemies.

The Demon Attendants and the Dark Priest displayed the distinct traits of their respective professions!

But for Chen Bai, his strength was so overwhelming that such distinctions were irrelevant.

The Virus Sovereign and the Darklight Virus didn’t grant mystical abilities like those of a Dreamwalker.

What they provided was pure, unbridled combat strength!

And Chen Bai’s combat strength spoke for itself!

Amid the flames, Chen Bai seemed like a demon king encircled by hellfire. The black and red mycelium carpet surged and writhed, devouring each enemy as soon as they were slaughtered.

Compared to these black-robed heretical demons and the Dark Priest, Chen Bai at this moment seemed far more like the true demon lord from the Abyss.

The embodiment of darkness!

Meng Meng, who had been idling throughout the entire fight, quietly concealed the thought that had just crossed her mind as she observed the scene.

“Brother Chen is amazing after all!” she murmured to herself.
