Chapter 54 - Stable Gate

As an experienced adventurer, the Dragon Slayer, quickly responded to Han Wu’s attack, using his blood-stained saber to intercept the blow.

Utilizing the full extent of his level 149 strength, Han Wu unleashed a devastating attack. The overwhelming power forced the Dragon Slayer’s body under the strain of blocking it. However, despite the immense pressure, which caused his veins to bulge, the Dragon Slayer successfully blocked the attack.

Taking advantage of the moment, the little skeleton swiftly lunged behind the Dragon Slayer and pierced his heart with its sharp, crystal-like bone claws. His face a mask of frustration, the Dragon Slayer finally succumbed to his wounds, and his Heroic Mystic Art: Dragonbane Realm was consequently destroyed.

Having confirmed the Dragon Slayer’s death, Han Wu quickly rushed to aid his other units in their battle against the remaining three Heroes. At the same time, the little skeleton carefully drew a peculiar array on the Dragon Slayer’s corpse before employing its skill to summon a skeleton knight.

The Dragon Slayer’s corpse rapidly shriveled. In an unsettling turn, its skeleton had absorbed the remaining flesh and blood before rising to its feet. The newly formed Skeleton Knight was distinct from the others, resembling a skeleton crafted from ruby rather than ordinary bone.

Had Han Wu inspected the data of this new skeleton before rushing off, he would have been surprised to discover it was not a typical Skeleton Knight, but rather a Heroic Blood Skeleton.

Regardless, Han Wu successfully intercepted the three Heroes and secured victory. He managed to eliminate both the Briar Saintess and the Twin Elemental Swordsman. The Martial Saint successfully escaped, but he paid a heavy price, losing one of his arms in the process.

Volunteering to track down the Martial Saint, the little skeleton led the Blood Skeleton and Osteomancer in pursuit.

In the wake of the Heroes’ demise, the monsters’ aggression reached new heights, leading to the slaughter of many adventurers within Doron City. Upon realizing the city was lost, a significant number of adventurers from the four major groups decided to evacuate.

The monsters had won.

The remaining monsters erupted in jubilant cheers, celebrating their long-awaited victory over the adventurers after years of fierce conflict and relentless struggle.

After tending to his Heroic units, Han Wu commanded the monsters to loot Doron City. He offered a generous amount of Energy Stones in exchange for equipment, Class Fragments, and other valuable treasures.

Driven into a frenzy by their intense desire for Energy Stones, the monsters were eager to participate in the pillaging. These stones held the promise of power beyond their racial limitations, making them highly coveted.

The monsters plundered the homes and stores of Doron City, amassing their loot into a small mountain in the plaza. The bulk of the loot was equipment, with treasures and gold forming only a small fraction. Han Wu stored the Class Fragments in a bag he carried on his person.

Having been released from the chains, the black dragon found its level reduced to 100 due to the transfer of its title to Han Wu. Reaching level 149 again would require a considerable amount of time.

After two hours, the little skeleton reappeared, accompanied by the Osteomancer and Blood Skeleton. It then tossed the Martial Saint’s corpse onto the ground.

Han Wu had successfully eliminated the last four Heroes defending Doron City.

Looking at his exhausted units, Han Wu sighed in relief, pleased that they had grown significantly stronger through the battle. He was also deeply relieved that his Heroic units had managed to survive the intense conflict.

Unexpectedly, the recruiter’s voice resonated in Han Wu’s mind. “Congratulations, Han Wu. You have successfully completed your mission and achieved a miracle!”

The recruiter had been observing Han Wu’s actions meticulously throughout the entire time. Han Wu expressed his gratitude to the recruiter with sincere and heartfelt thanks.

The recruiter said, “The gate is now prepared. You have three hours to organize and collect your rewards.”

Contemplating the ruins of Doron City, Han Wu thought of an alternative solution. “Sir, I have a proposal. Would it be possible to construct a stable gate here, one that leads directly to my divine realm?”

Han Wu recognized the vast potential of enhancing his units’ strength through the Class and Level system. Furthermore, this civilization excelled at crafting equipment of various grades. Establishing a stable gate here and harnessing the civilization’s capabilities would enable his units to experience exponential growth in power.

The recruiter tapped his fingers on the table, deep in thought. He considered that every civilization, at some point, needed to invade and plunder another to advance. Han Wu’s proposal mirrored the thinking of many Gods in the Divine Civilization, who sought to extend their influence into favorable civilizations to bolster their strength.

However, there was a significant drawback. While a stable gate was easily constructed, it presented a considerable security risk to the connected divine realm. What if the invaded civilization chose to retaliate and invade the divine realm instead? A single misstep could lead to the destruction of the divine realm’s Core.

After explaining the potential benefits and risks, the recruiter left the final decision to Han Wu. Resolute in his choice, Han Wu insisted on building the stable gate. He desired to build it in Doron City to ensure he could return at his convenience.

While acknowledging Han Wu’s choice, the recruiter informed him that the gate’s construction would cost 1.5 billion Divine Points.

Han Wu lacked the necessary funds, but he possessed an alternative. He had acquired the God weapons from the five fallen Heroes, and these ownerless artifacts were worth a considerable sum.

He opted to exchange the God weapons with the recruiter, who in turn promised to construct the stable gate within ten days. Additionally, the recruiter provided him with a set of alarm systems designed to alert him in his divine realm should anyone from the invaded civilization attempt to invade through the gate.

It took ten minutes to journey from Doron City to Han Wu’s divine realm, granting him a ten-minute window to gather his forces for defense. He conveyed his appreciation to the recruiter for the alarm system.

Over the next ten days, Han Wu occupied himself with transforming Doron City into a city populated by monsters. The monster alliance assumed the responsibilities of the Adventurer’s Guild, establishing itself as the city’s central authority.

Prior to his departure, he instructed a number of skeletons, minotaurs, and a significant portion of his locusts to guard the city, ensuring they were protected from any retaliatory attacks by adventurers.

Han Wu further ordered the little skeleton to withdraw to his divine realm should they fail to hold Doron City. He valued their lives more than the city's defense. The little skeleton, scratching its bare head, responded telepathically, “I... understand.”

Han Wu transported all the loot, along with the Scorching Dwarves, Steely, and the black dragon, back to his divine realm. After placing them there, he hurriedly returned to school. The Imperial College held greater importance for him at the moment than organizing his newly acquired loot.

Han Wu suddenly appeared before Tian Wen and the recruiter, and his new appearance caused them both to react with shock. Tian Wen immediately asked, “Han Wu, what has happened to your eyes?”

The confused Han Wu checked his appearance in a nearby mirror. He was surprised to see his pupils had turned completely black.He also experienced a strange feeling, as if he could draw souls into his eyes.

Is this because of the Special Class Defier?

Han Wu hurriedly inspected his data.
