"That's a shame..."Lance nodded slightly and sighed.His expression looked like he had missed out on a chance to get rich."Don't you want to be bought by them"Huperian looked at Lanche's expression of...Chapter 418: The Great Demon Race Trial: A Hopeless Annihilation War

Without hesitation, the Da Ai poet passed through the familiar void transmission gate. His body seemed to melt into water once more, gradually disappearing into the deep purple glow. (Due to caching reasons, please have users directly browse the website to view the fastest chapter updates.)

With a strange and magical feeling of weightlessness, the body and soul seem to be being taken away from the real world.

This state of rapid descent did not last long. After a sudden wave of dizziness, the great love poet felt the cold and hard ground beneath him.

and fell face-first again.

He lay on the ground for several seconds, but no one came to help him. Finally, he started to struggle to get up himself.

The great poet steadied himself on the floor, which felt like both metal and stone, and stood up shakily. With one hand, he gently smoothed down his hair, which was slightly disheveled from his fall.

Taking a closer look around, there was only himself in the vast entrance hall.

The rest of them had disappeared.

Standing in the hall where she was currently, looking forward, the wide corridor's ceiling continuously dropped with swirling mist, settling within this unfamiliar and mysterious space.

This seems to be the starting point of a labyrinth. The corridors inside the prison are surrounded by towering walls covered in eerie symbols and flickering lights. On the floor, a luminous screen shimmers with a soft azure glow, like a galaxy in a dream or a distant and profound universe.

This is quite similar to the ground structure of Helm's Deep. Once you step on it, certain barrier spells will be triggered.

The Negative Fifth Layer was incredibly vast, and from the map displayed on the transmission hall's screen, it appeared to be a gigantic maze.

Its structure is constantly changing, the whole level being in a state like Helstrom's warped old district, arriving at some places will immediately teleport you to another.

The five of them arrived at the negative fifth floor as trainee prison guards. Several Level 5 and Level 8 officers seemed unable to teleport accurately, ending up in random locations within the negative fifth floor prison. Only the Level 1 bard, Da Ai Shi Ren, successfully reached the entrance teleportation hall.

After all, a great love poet is much weaker than a cat boss, so there's no real burden on transmission.

"Now I have to go to the main hall alone...Where are you, Milian"

The solitary figure with raven hair and emerald eyes, a hint of dazed weariness in their gaze, murmured to themselves.

Lanche had grown accustomed to being led around the prison by Huberlian, and most of the time he didn't need to pay attention to Hellrom Prison.

Now, you need to be extremely focused. You have to chat with Warden Bakkas while also controlling the actions of the great poet over here.

He lowered his head helplessly, looking at the deep crimson light curtain on his wristband.

On Level -5 of Herlohm Prison, surviving and working earn a large amount of duty points.

Work assignments can be exchanged for resources in prison. Trading rights for the current level will only be available after meeting all the conditions to advance to the next level.

Current location: Helrom Prison, Level -5, Entrance Hall.

Job content: Clean the phantom.

【Note: Once you enter the fifth floor, a phantom will appear within 100 meters of you. The phantom will be a perfect copy of yourself, including your intelligence, personality, all equipment and combat experience, and it will be stronger than you.

Note: Phantoms can lock onto your location, their only objective is to hunt down and kill your true self, taking your existence.

【Note: Each person can only summon their phantom once a day. Arriving at the teleportation hall, office area, or cell will temporarily make your phantom disappear. Other people's phantoms will not proactively attack you, but if you initiate an attack, they will transfer their target to you.】

To proceed to the Sixth Floor, you must:* Clear all Phantasms on the current floor.* Have a team contribution score greater than 5000.* Obtain permission and a positive evaluation from the Warden of the Fifth Floor.

"...."

Lan quickly flipped through the pages, it wasn't much different from the fourth layer. The only special thing was "Phantom".

With Selena, the previous four-tier prison warden, reminding him, and Huberlian telling him what he knew, he basically understood what this level's demon trial was.

It is said that there was a great demon lord from the ancient times tens of thousands of years ago, named Despair's Satiya. The ultimate form of his innate magic was to summon phantoms that were replicas of his opponents.

Facing this Rank 9 Great Demon, once you feel hostility or hatred towards him, he will summon a stronger replica of himself first, up to Rank 8 peak.

In a legion battle, the Ninth-Rank Demon Lord Wretched Sathia is an opponent that even countless Eighth-Ranks couldn't possibly defeat.

He is a super carry player.

Even in his final moments, he left behind a challenge for the demons: The 【Hopeless Annihilation War】, forged from his very being.

According to one's own fighting spirit, the strength of the phantom will be determined.

When keeping their combat intent at its lowest, the Phantom will only be about as strong as the main body. When pushing their combat intent to its limits, the Phantom will not only be stronger than the main body but even reach the eighth rank.

That is to say, as long as one is willing, even an eighth-order extreme being can be seen in the 【Hopeless Annihilation War】.

If one cannot control their fighting spirit, they might inadvertently summon terrifying phantoms and be instantly obliterated.

For the guards on this level, they must constantly dodge phantoms' pursuit in the maze and reach the safe zone as quickly as possible.

In most cases, being singled out is a state of evasion, with your enhanced phantom targeting you as the opponent.

The tasks of an intern jailer include, working together with several fellow intern jailers, defeating the phantoms one by one through beatings and clearing them all out.

"Wait, who is my opponent then..."

Lancelot pondered, chin in hand, glancing at his current predicament—being incarcerated within the Herlohm prison. Then, tentatively, he stepped onto the floor of the teleportation hall beyond the cell.

The jailer's office should be nearby in the entrance teleportation hall. It's best to find the jailer first and get permission.

Normally, the area near the transmission hall is very safe. As long as you feel something is wrong, you can always retreat back, but conversely, you will also be blocked at the intersection by phantoms and need someone to come and rescue you.

However, Lynch's steps grew larger and faster, his light feet quickening as if he had no concerns whatsoever.

On either side of the corridor, rows of massive cells with heavy doors stood irregularly arranged. A figure with black hair and green eyes strode forward, their footsteps echoing softly on the metal floor.

Every step resonates with the surrounding environment's magic, the silence broken by a faint hum of the wards, like a welcome or a warning to a new arrival.

It is evident that his phantom has been born and begun the hunt within the labyrinth.

Lanche was still unafraid. He used the dynamic map displayed on his bracelet to find the path to the Jailer's office.

Because—this cage is based on the body rather than rooted in consciousness.

So he's just going to beat up the great poet and then he can easily find his way to the exit hall

"Lanfu, I really don't want to fight you. It's just unavoidable. I have no choice but to challenge your phantom..."

Lanche's self-talk, he couldn't wait to hit the road!

Today's two updates are slow, my eyes are tired, I will continue to update tomorrow. In addition, there will be a portrait of the great poet black hair green eyes these days
