These tasks are usually not displayed directly on the task panel; only important main and side quests will appear on the task panel.
[Black Demon] is considered one of the important leaders in this region. There will be a reward for killing him, but the system will not actively ask the heroes to kill him.
Also, killing the [Lord of No Form] is not an exploration quest, but an achievement quest.
[Lord of No Form] is a hidden character, while [Black Demon] is a powerful figure in the region, so they trigger different quests.
Incidentally, only Miluko, who was responsible for the kill, completed the achievement. As a lower-tier copy of the hidden item, Blaze and Singu, who provided the assist, did not obtain the [Pseudo-Mahāyāna].
After crushing the magic core, An Yi looked up at the hidden compartment on the wall that had just been opened.
The secret chamber contains many artifacts, far more than just these few items, but...
He was just waiting for the other side's last-ditch counterattack, and then he would bring out all of these things.
These are all legitimate things that can save your life.
If the other party doesn't open it proactively, it will take some effort to find it.
He grabbed a piece of cloth from the room, wrapped all the magical items inside together, and carried it out the door.
An Yi had no intention of packing everything up and taking it with her, and she was too lazy to search carefully, nor did she have that much time to waste.
2. As he walked up the underground road, he changed his appearance again, carrying a cloth bag.
9 This secret room is hidden very deep inside, and the entrances and exits have been treated to isolate it from the outside world, including soundproofing and preventing the entry and leakage of magic.
Above the four secret rooms is the headquarters of the "Black Ghost". This design is to prevent external magical bombardment and to allow them to hide underground even after the entire building is destroyed.
Furthermore, there are multiple underground structures, which can maximize the hiding place for guards in the event of a disaster.
4. Enemies cannot sense the underground magic; if they rashly enter, they will inevitably be caught off guard.
3 However;
The five black devils were unaware that this design was precisely what caused them to perish underground, and that their subordinates would not even discover them for a short period of time.
6 Before entering the underground to rest, it instructed itself that during its recovery period, no subordinates other than its own trusted confidants were allowed to enter the headquarters.
4. "Rumble rumble rumble—"
The door to the secret passage opened, revealing [Blackie's] bedroom.
Its bed is also a huge magic stone. Elemental creatures don't need to sleep, but they still need to rest and accumulate their magic power by ceasing activity.
Pushing open the door, there were no other guards in the corridor.
All the few trusted confidants were transferred underground, and naturally, no other subordinates in the headquarters above ground could see the confidants going in and out of their bedrooms.
If a subordinate who isn't a trusted confidant sees this, wouldn't that be like openly telling them there's a secret passage in the bedroom?
Walking out of the empty building, Annie soon found the door and pushed it open.
He transformed into a four-meter-tall demon, clutching the cloth bag in his hand, hidden in his palm so that it was completely invisible.
Once outside the door, two demon guards, each three meters tall, looked at him with suspicion, but dared not ask any further questions.
"The boss said that no one should disturb it for seven days."
"It's about to break through." An Yi instructed the two guards outside in the demon language.
"Yes!"
The two guards straightened their backs even more.
breakthrough?!
Despite suffering severe injuries, there are signs of a breakthrough; this is what it means to rise from the ashes!
That's a breakthrough from a level seven demon to a level eight demon!
Once the breakthrough is successful, the [Black Ghosts] will have the ability to challenge the lords, and then they will be even more fortunate.
Moreover, such an important moment should not be disturbed in any way.
If something goes wrong, who will take responsibility?
"I'm going to find something for the boss, I'll be right back."
An Yi casually said something, and soon disappeared from the sight of the two demons.
Just around the corner, he transformed into another small demon, running wildly through the dark alley. Finally, he threw the cloth bag in his hand onto a rooftop he had chosen beforehand, making sure it wouldn't be automatically picked up.
These rooftops are very easy to find. Just look for footprints and the degree of dust accumulation to know which rooftops are unlikely to be visited by demons.
After putting away the magical items, An Yi returned the way she came, transforming back to the way she had been before she left.
Under the respectful gazes of the two guards, they entered the gates of the Black Ghost Headquarters.
"Boom."
The door closed again.
The moment the door closed, An Yi's figure shrank, quickly becoming translucent, and then transformed into a pale [ghost]. She immediately burrowed underground and moved towards her residence along the path of her memories.
The same methods were used for infiltration, including entering underground chambers.
A sealed room can block magic, but it can't block a soul!
The black man hadn't imagined this situation, and it was completely impossible for him to have foreseen it.
The so-called undead soul race would never survive in places with many demons.
Just like ghosts in horror stories, they don't roam in popular areas.
The supernatural type of demons is quite numerous, but they mostly live in places like cemeteries, abandoned buildings, and deserted cities.
They only appear in specific areas.
Ghosts that can travel underground and ignore physical collisions are enemies that are completely beyond the comprehension of "black ghosts".
None of its enemies are capable of transforming into ghosts.
An Yi crawled up from under the inn without going through the corridor, and even the hero on night watch didn't notice his movements.
He returned to his room, transformed back into his original form, and looked at the other bed, where Lycorina was lying with her eyes closed.
However, she wasn't sleeping; she was training herself to stay awake even with her eyes closed.
Seemingly noticing that Annie had returned, Lycorina immediately sat up and said in a proud whisper;
"Anyi, I'm not asleep yet...!"
“Mm.” An Yi nodded.
I've been supervising Lycorina every day for a while now, and after some training, she's started to get used to not sleeping.
A warrior's body will automatically adjust its state. If one is used to not sleeping for a long time, the body will gradually lose the need to sleep on time.
Just like normal humans, if you stay up too late, you won't be able to fall asleep until very late every day.
For normal people, not sleeping is harmful to their health, but for the brave, it is not.
Mental exhaustion is one thing, but it won't actually affect your physical health.
However, Annie also knew that even if she went out tonight and didn't keep an eye on Lycorina, Lycorina wouldn't let her guard down.
She knows when to slack off and when to be serious.
Training is necessary now, not a time to slack off.
"Are you done with your business?" Lycorina asked softly. "What did you go to do?"
“I killed the black man,” Annie confessed.
"Huh?" Lycorina exclaimed in surprise, "Kill it before it makes a move?"
When An Yi told her that she was going to "clear the way," she thought it was just about killing some guards.
Unexpectedly, he went straight out and killed the "Black Guy"!
Lycorina knew the other party was weak, but perhaps it was precisely because of their weakness that there were more guards?
"The enemy doesn't know we've obtained the [Formless], so they won't attack us at night. Just proceed according to the original plan," An Yi said.
The original plan was to continue pretending to know nothing and then leave the city before the next supply acquisition.
It should be fine in about three or four days. [The Black Guy] won't issue any new orders, and the other organizations in the city are in chaos. At that point, no one will pay attention to these few "outsiders."
They couldn't find [Wu Xiang] anywhere in the city, and the Black Ghost was too desperate to continue monitoring them. It's likely that the members of the Black Ghost organization were also eager to get rid of these few living fathers. (Umbrella)
Even if the black man were found dead in the secret room, suspicion would certainly not fall on the few outsiders who worked there regularly every day.
One night passed. Dance.
The next day, it was time for another evening meeting.
An Yi brought in the cloth bag hidden under her black robe, threw it on the bed, and opened it.
"what is this?"
"This is the spoils of war after killing the black man."
Chapter 193
Upon opening the cloth bag, five magical items were clearly visible inside, all with their names displayed in purple.
Previously, the "Black Guy" had given them blue magical items.
Judging from the items and weapons acquired by the heroes themselves, there are currently six colors: white, green, blue, purple, orange, and red.
If the gold-red [Formless] is the highest-grade magic item, and the gold-orange [Pseudo-Infinity] is the next level down, then is the next level down to purple?
The heroes were puzzled, but they were not yet sure.
At this stage, most heroes are using white and green weapons. Even the sets and weapons given after completing the main quest are only upgraded from white to green.
In other words, the highest level of equipment currently issued by the system is green, so there is no other way to confirm what other levels are above purple.
“Well, after we finish handing over the intelligence, let’s gather everyone and go back to human territory,” Lycorina suggested.
"Returning to human territory? So suddenly, is it because we agreed on a time?" Franti asked.
"No, it's just that we feel we've already gained a lot from this trip."
"We came out to gather intelligence, didn't we? Well, we've pretty much brought the intelligence back by now," Lycorina said with a smile.
They learned the demon language, unlocked a large number of demon illustrations, came into contact with demon gangs, and acquired magical items ranging from blue to gold and red.
