Chapter 876: Chapter 876

"Most of the demons here aren’t very strong. I wonder how long it took them to summon so many," Du You said as he walked forward, noting that beyond the few fourth-tier demons at the forefront, most were second and third tier.

As for the first tier, there weren’t any at all, presumably because they didn’t want to summon them.

After searching through countless houses for two days, they were nearly at the core of this place. Progress was slow due to the need to clear a large number of demons.

That day, Du You finally made a discovery again. As he peeked into a house, Du You noticed a painting that stirred a peculiar feeling within him. "What is this? How does a Grey Elf have such an unconventional artist?"

Du You took it into his hands and looked at the painting, which was not ordinary—it depicted a ghost.

The painting appeared to tell a story, narrating what looked like a very tragic tale.

The protagonist of the story wasn’t a Grey Elf but a normal elf. It seemed this elf had some connection with humans, and for some unknown reason, was tied up and burned to death by a group of people.

After dying, the elf didn’t return to the embrace of the Mother Tree as the legends suggested but instead became a ghost, forever wandering.

"What is all this strange stuff?" Du You didn’t understand the meaning behind the story, but it didn’t matter because the painting was a material for his advancement, corresponding to his own Resentful Souls Domain.

Although Du You didn’t understand it, the fact that it could serve as a material for his advancement meant that the painting itself was certainly extraordinary. Since it was a painting, it likely held significant commemorative and artistic value.

Unfortunately, he could only be someone who destroyed artworks now.

After securing the painting, Du You, along with the lively Elsa and his summoned beasts, continued forward. However, worried about attracting attention, Du You had still not summoned his Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs and just walked ahead.

Another day later, they finally reached the core area. Du You squinted at the horizon, "There are quite a few fourth-tier demons ahead; it looks mission will yield plenty."

Du You felt the presence of the fourth-tier demons ahead, but unfortunately, many Grey Elves were also approaching this area. Competing with these Grey Elves for kills wouldn’t be easy. But not competing was not an option either, as it would mean fewer benefits for him.

As the encirclement tightened, the two sisters gradually returned to Du You’s side.

"Master, look what I’ve found, a material for advancement," Lin Yucha suddenly pulled out something colorful.

"This seems to be a feather weave, just a bit too small though—it could make a good scarf," Du You recognized it. This item must have been used by a very prestigious Grey Elf.

The feather weave was colorful and aesthetically pleasing with a sensible color scheme. Moreover, the aura from it told Du You that it wasn’t made from ordinary feathers. It was crafted from feathers of high-tier magical beasts, many of which belonged to fourth-tier magical beasts. However, aside from being aesthetically pleasing, it had no other use at the moment.

Of course, for ordinary people, it might be useful for staying warm in winter and cool in summer, but for them, such uses were irrelevant.

"What skill does this correspond to?" Du You asked.

"It’s Dark Vision," Lin Yucha put away the item and did not hide the fact. Content orıginally comes from 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝※𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖※𝕟𝕖𝕥

Du You frowned, "Why is it this skill?" This combination is very strange. It’s clearly related to the eyes, so why is the advancement material ? It might evolve in a strange direction.

"I think it’s quite good. The quality of this advancement material isn’t bad, so the advancement shouldn’t be too bad either."

"Alright, let’s use it then, since it’s all about enhancing vision anyway." Regardless of whether it’s for assassination or long-range sniping, Lin Yucha had very high demands for vision, precisely because her path was different. Conversely, Lin Yushi didn’t need to strengthen her vision like that.

"Let’s not talk anymore. We are about to reach the core area shortly, and this place also holds the demons with the strongest powers. I don’t know what abilities the Demon Wizards here possess, but we will meet them soon."

Lin Yushi also said, "The Grey Elves nearby are all coming here too. Should we wait for them to attack first before we make our move?"

Du You shook his head, "No, we strike first. The place isn’t that big anyway; otherwise, we won’t be able to snatch any kills. You two get ready too." After saying this, Du You released a spell into the air.

Destruction Flames, Du You this time did not restrain his power. Although there were only five Magic Arrays condensing fireballs in the sky, Du You concentrated all his power on these five fireballs. Surrounding him was the Dark Spirit Light, always ready to replenish Magic Power.

After two minutes of channeling, five huge fireballs descended from the sky. Then, spells from demons on the ground also smashed into the air, and upon colliding with them, the fireballs easily burnt through the opposing magic.

The fireballs hit the ground, and the earth vibrated as if an earthquake had occurred, followed by shockwaves rushing out in all directions. Under these fireballs, the unfortunate fourth-tier demons were instantly blasted to death. Those with better luck were also severely injured, with rare instances of losing limbs. Following this, the Destruction Evil Dogs took shape, fighting each other ferociously.

"Our Beastman friends have already made their move; we can’t let them look down on us. Brothers and sisters, let’s fight."

As the order was given, the Grey Elves went all-out, attacking frantically.

"Woah, take it easy, guys. We’re here to help!" Du You felt frustrated inside; as soon as he took action, these Grey Elves were risking their lives so fiercely, as if they were making things difficult for him.

Before Du You could speak, a group of Summoned Beasts led by the two sisters rushed forward. Seeing them fight so desperately moved the Grey Elves, who also accelerated their pace.

helplessly, Du You could only run forward, releasing his Dark Flame Arrow Array while running and occasionally sprinkling out a large swarm of Hellfire Spiders for detonation.

Elsa, who had been frantically running along with the group, was blocked by air bubbles and could only sulkily follow Du You.

There was no way around it; the battle ahead was too intense, and given Elsa’s strength was only third-tier, it was hard for Du You to keep track of her during the fight. If they encountered a fourth-tier enemy, Elsa, with her current strength, would be completely no match.

The heart of the Grey Elf gathering area had already turned into ruins, even the ground began to shift toward black. Judging by this color, given some time to accumulate, perhaps a new Demon Gate would form here.
