Chapter 282 – Demonsun Ancient Castle (2/2)

Fatty turned left and right with the letter in his hand until he arrived at a big mansion.

The mansion took up a huge area. The gate alone was ten meters wide and engraved with dragon and phoenix patterns along with dense magical runes.

“Stop! Who goes there?” Outside the entrance, two soldiers in thick armor and armed with swords and guns stood straight, their presence not any inferior to a player of the 5th class enhancement.

“I’ve come to deliver a message.” Fatty handed the letter to a soldier.

“You can pass.” After a quick scan at the letter, the soldier waved his hand and the doors creaked open. Fatty went in.

“Sallip sent you?” Fatty entered the main hall to see an NPC in his forties standing there with his hands crossed at his back. After hearing Fatty’s story, the NPC quickly scanned the letter before tossing it aside.

“Since you’re recommended by Sallip, I have just a task here. Go carry it out.” As the words fell, Fatty didn’t even have time to respond when the sound of system notification rang out by his ears.

Ding.

System Notification: You have accepted the mission “Demonsun Ancient Castle.”

Mission Requirement: Go to Demonsun Ancient Castle and eliminate the foreign creatures in it.

Time limit: 3 days

Reward: Unknown

Mission Details: The mainland is once again plunged into chaos after thousands of years in peace. Some foreign creatures have entered the Central Dynasty through some means and are now hiding in Demonsun Ancient Castle, plotting the subversion of Xuanhuang Ancient Dynasty.

“Demonsun Ancient Castle?’ Fatty opened the virtual forum and searched. Instantly, he acquired the information on the Demonsun Ancient Castle.

Thousands of miles to the north of the Imperial Capital, there was an old castle called Demonsun. During the grand war between demons and humans several thousand years ago, this castle had quite a status as a Demon General’s fortress. This Demon General referred to the legendary Sky City as he poured great effort into building this fortress. Not only did it have excellent defensive and offensive abilities, but it could also fly. When the Demon Army invaded the Human Realm, this Demon General brought the castle with him and relied on it to kill many outstanding human generals. Later, this Demon General was killed by the humans, due to which his castle also fell to the ground and became the trophy of the Human Realm. It had been standing there ever since, towering as a manifestation of the grand deed achieved by the humans.

“The fortress of a Demon General? Moreover built referencing Sky City?” Fatty stroked his chin. Saying goodbye to General Mighty, he rode the Violent Ox King towards the coordinates of the Demonsun Ancient Castle.

Bulky, exotic-looking, and even flying to boot, the Violent Ox King whizzed through the air amidst a bunch of players shouting “advanced boss!”

Traveling over three thousand miles in only one hour, Fatty saw a towering black fortress and knew that he had reached his destination.

The Demonsun Ancient Castle wasn’t too big, only one-thousandth the size of Sky City, but this was equivalent to a small town. Since it was once a fortress, the castle was naturally equipped with all kinds of combat equipment, only that they could no longer be used due to long-time decomposition.

Foreign creatures, those two words kept echoing in Fatty’s head. ‘Foreign’ was clear: coming from another nation, but the only thing he could think of from ‘creatures’ were monsters. Maybe the combined phrase means monsters from other countries?

However, despite the national borders being opened, it was still difficult for players to go abroad, let alone monsters who were limited from leaving a certain area. Fatty was a little confused.

The Violent Ox King shared one same ability as Wheat: its size was changeable. The max limit was roughly thirty meters tall and forty meters long like a small mountain, while the smallest was the size of an adult dog.

Ordering the mount to shrink a little, Fatty rode it and swaggered into the castle.

The interior of Demonsun Ancient Castle was damaged all over. Weapon and magic bombardment marks could be seen everywhere on the walls without fading away even after thousands of years, thus showing how intense the grand war had been.

The place was infested by monsters between level 60 and 80 in a disarray of attributes and types, there were even some demonic creatures here and there.

Because the players had been gradually moving towards the Imperial Capital, players had appeared in this place as well. Seeing the Violent Ox King under Fatty, everyone revealed a look of surprise.

Whoosh! Out of nowhere, a thick vine suddenly whipped towards Fatty as he was riding.

Whew. Without Fatty having to move, the Violent Ox King huffed out two scorching flames from its nostrils and smacked the vine away. With this mount of the 8th class enhancement as his escort, Fatty couldn’t be any safer.

Whoosh whoosh! Several tendrils of ivy emerged at the same time. Some lashed from the side, some fell from above, some even slithered on the ground like snakes and coiled around the Violent Ox King’s four hooves.

Clank! The Elemental Sword was drawn from its sheath and cut off two vines in one swing. As for the Violent Ox King, it only slightly snorted and two firesnakes flew out, spiraling around its body and setting all of the vines on fire.

The vines sizzled with a shrill noise and painfully squirmed on the floor. Fatty eyes followed along the tendrils to see a patch of waist-high weeds with a dozen vines sticking out of it.

“Go, let’s take care of it for good,” Fatty commanded the Violent Ox King and headed for the ivy’s root system.
