72 Demon Hunter (1/2)

The sky was still dark as the moon lay unhidden, high up in the air.

Inside the Library located in the Slums of Red Leaf Town...

“Adventurer, if you do not have any problems, then walk to the center of the magic circle. There will be a slight pain after the ceremony starts, so just endure it, and it will be over,” Sharlyn pointed towards the center of the altar made of black stone. Her eyes carried a hint of excitement as she could finally start this experiment.

Shi Feng was completely unaware of Sharlyn’s thoughts. He nodded his head as he walked into the magic circle.

No matter how he put it, Sharlyn was a major character who possessed a Tier 3 Job, so there shouldn’t be any complications. As for the pain he would have to suffer, he thought nothing of it.

During battles inside God’s Domain, a player could similarly feel pain when attacked by monsters. However, a majority of the players still chose to accept this kind of setting. Their goal was to increase the sense of realism, so they did not adjust the pain transmission to 0%. More importantly, they wanted to increase their skills in battle.

There was an old saying of ‘spare the rod and spoil the child.’ Only with pain would one be able to remember the lesson, and only by learning the lesson, would one be able to further improve. Hence, if one wanted to grow in God’s Domain, learning to accept such pain was a definite must.

However, considering each player’s tolerances, God’s Domain set the pain transmission at 20% by default. However, some experts would adjust the transmission to 60%, allowing them to be more alert. Meanwhile, Shi Feng himself had adjusted it to 50%. This was the degree of pain he was accustomed to, and it was the amount at which he could best exhibit his strength.

After standing in position, Shi Feng sent a nod towards Sharlyn, indicating that she could start the ceremony.

Descent of the Moon Goddess!

Sharlyn started her prayer; divine incantations left her mouth as her fingers traced out divine texts. Line after line of divine texts floated in midair and towards the horizon. Compared to the Tier 3 magic from before, the divine texts written in this ceremony were extremely numerous.

Even after writing hundreds of lines, Sharlyn showed no signs of stopping. Sweat had already started dripping down Sharlyn’s face, clearly indicating that she was somewhat exhausted. Meanwhile, the magic circle on the ground started to radiate a dazzling silver glow, the magic circle itself gradually rising into the air.

After over ten minutes had passed, a streak of shining moonlight shot towards Shi Feng’s body.

Suddenly, dark smoke emerged from Shi Feng’s body. The dark smoke was extremely reluctant to part from Shi Feng’s body as it rose into the air. Meanwhile, sweat started appearing on Shi Feng’s forehead. His face turned pale white as he endured an intense pain.

hi Feng nearly cursed at Sharlyn. This was definitely not at the level of just ‘a slight pain,’ but it was very, very painful. It was as if his limbs were being torn from his body.

If he had not already played God’s Domain for ten years, having long since become accustomed to pain, he might be wailing like a ghost and howling like a wolf right now.

After persistently being lit by the moonlight for several minutes, the black smoke finally departed from Shi Feng’s body. However, it did not just simply fade away. Instead, it formed into a dark shadow that was a carbon copy of Shi Feng.

“Adventurer, you need to kill this demon’s doppelganger in order to dispel the curse. I have to conduct the ceremony, so I cannot lend you any aid. It is all up to you now,” Sharlyn reminded.

Somewhat exhausted, Shi Feng used Observing Eyes on this dark shadow.

[Ye Feng (Demon’s Doppelganger)] (Elite Rank)

Level 4

HP 2,000/2,000

“An Elite?” Shi Feng’s complexion turned serious.

The demon’s doppelganger did not have a lot of HP, and its level was similar to his. If this doppelganger did not possess any powerful skills, then dealing with it would not be a huge problem. However, that probability was slim.

“Wretched Moon Drip! Despicable human! Did you think that by using the complete Moon Drip to weaken my strength, you would be able to defeat me? I’ll let you know the reason why lowly humans like you will never win against us powerful demons!” The demon’s doppelganger had an enraged expression as it pulled out a black longsword, slashing it at Shi Feng.

In the blink of an eye, the doppelganger arrived before Shi Feng. A faint black ray followed as it waved its longsword. Within an instant, that single black ray turned into four streaks, all of them threatening to dice Shi Feng into blocks of meat.

Extraordinary condition!

Shi Feng was greatly shocked when seeing such an action. This speed far exceeded that of a normal Elite. Immediately, Shi Feng used Parry.

_Dang, Dang, Dang……_

Shi Feng retreated several steps before he stabilized his body.
