Chapter 283: Nanny-Level Guidance
The time rewinds slightly, to the other side.
Li Chengxi yawned as he watched Audel and the others advance through the passage.
The time in the real world was approaching midnight, long past Li Chengxi's usual bedtime.
If he wasn't worried that Audel might encounter something in the ruins she couldn't handle, Li Chengxi would have already gone to bed.
This exploration of the ruins, just like the first time Li Chengxi had to drag Audel out, was a case of her stubbornly doing as she pleased.
Whenever this person encountered something that interested her, she completely disregarded the consequences.
I bet she was already planning a trip the moment she heard the news.
She really was a handful.
After this is over, I'll have to make Audel stay in the Leon Territory for a while.
The individual or organization that sealed the Ring of the Demon King to try and cover up history has likely sensed the threat Audel poses.
Staying in the City of Academics is very dangerous.
Even if Audel isn't afraid, her father, who fled with her to the City of Academics when the Avarus Demon Kingdom's capital was invaded, can't take it.
The Leon Territory is different.
It's now completely under Viola's control, and Li Chengxi has performed miracles there many times.
It's basically right under the Demon God's nose.
Coming here to cause trouble would truly be asking for death.
Don't forget, when Li Chengxi used the egg beater to destroy the fleet, he intentionally let a few ships go back.
With those survivors returning to add their own embellished descriptions, no fool would dare cause trouble in the Leon Territory anytime soon.
This was also why, despite months passing while Viola built up infrastructure in the Leon Territory, the Coalition of Four Nations had never come to make trouble.
They didn't know how strong the Demon God was now, nor how far his influence could reach.
Naturally, they were still in an observation phase.
What was certain was that they would definitely try to stop the Demon God from recovering the Ring of the Demon King, to prevent his power from increasing further.
To force these guys out, the Demon God had to make his presence felt as much as possible.
The more people who knew the Demon God had returned, the more nervous the other party would become, until they eventually exposed themselves.
In other words, as long as Viola launched an attack, everything would be fine.
I hope that's not a flag.
While mulling this over, Li Chengxi stretched his hand towards the door of his room.
At first glance, the gesture looked like he was stretching, but soon, a can of Red Bull, enveloped in golden light, flew up from below and landed in his hand.
Perhaps he really had a talent for being a god.
Aidas had only demonstrated it once, but Li Chengxi had already learned it.
He could even use his divine power to retrieve things he couldn't see.
After all, it was his own supermarket; he knew exactly what was on every shelf.
With a psst, he opened the pull-tab can.
Li Chengxi had just taken a couple of sips when he saw Audel and her group walk out of the passage and into a space with seven enormous thrones.
But unlike Audel, who had to consider everything carefully, Li Chengxi didn't think too deeply.
He just felt that this ruin was huge, and he wanted them to hurry up and find the Ring of the Demon King so he could go to sleep.
Then he saw the giant phantoms rising from the thrones and nearly choked on his Red Bull.
"Fuck, there are ghosts this big?"
Ghosts were indeed scary, but a giant ghost just felt oppressive, not terrifying.
Li Chengxi right-clicked on one of them and looked at its ability panel.
The name read 'Large Soul Aggregate'.
It sounded like some tough monster, but a look at its level showed it was 30.
So it's about the same as a Golem.
The only difference is that when Zola got the Ring of Sight, there was only one Golem, whereas now they had to face seven Large Soul Aggregates.
Audel was level 45, and this wasn't a simple matter of being 15 levels higher.
In terms of abilities, she was almost four or five times stronger than a level 30 creature.
Even if a real fight broke out, they weren't particularly troublesome enemies.
The result was just as Li Chengxi expected.
On the screen, Audel raised her staff and first cast what was probably an area-of-effect spell.
A bright light swept across the seven giant phantoms like a spinning blade, and one of them shattered and disappeared on the spot.
The other six giant phantoms swarmed forward.
As they entered combat, the screen switched to a tactical grid mode.
The three adventurers with Audel scattered.
The Halfling Priest raised his holy emblem and used an ability called 'Dispel Undead,' and two more giant phantoms were instantly finished.
The Dwarf, meanwhile, executed a jumping chop that struck one of the giant phantom's toes.
The latter cried out as if severely injured and fell over.
His axe must be a magic weapon; ordinary weapons couldn't harm ghosts.
Nimia didn't have a magic weapon to use.
She took the short bow from her back and shot arrows at the surrounding giant phantoms.
Some arrows would explode with a bright light, while others would burst into flames.
These weren't the Tree Elf's magic-infused arrows but pre-made items like Flash Arrows and Fire Arrows.
She was basically an item-based fighter.
Her damage output was far less than the others, but she provided good support.
The giants raised their feet or bent down, intending to crush the four of them.
To be honest, it was indeed very intimidating.
But it was meaningless if they couldn't hit their targets.
On Li Chengxi's side, he saw a string of miss notifications appear above the four's heads.
Then, Audel's chibi figure was enveloped in light, compressed into a single point, and vanished from its spot.
She reappeared above a giant's head, floating down gently like a falling leaf.
With a wave of her staff, she unleashed a crackling bolt of lightning.
The style was likely the common Chain Lightning seen in many games.
On-screen sound effects like ‘BOOM!’ and ‘CRACKLE!’ even appeared as decoration.
The Chain Lightning zipped around the giants, and even Li Chengxi, who was just watching, could see that the phantoms had become faint.
The Halfling Priest used another spell called Life Blast.
A flame-like cyan spiritual light spread out, and the giant phantoms, who were already on their last legs, all disintegrated and vanished.
Hmm, they didn't even make it through the second round before the whole group of impressive-looking guys was wiped out.
The Ring of the Demon King was a deity, after all.
Were the guardians of its seal really this weak?
That depends on the era.
Back in the Mythic Era, both magic and martial arts were in a very primitive stage.
A level 30 was already a top master back then.
The seal was set according to the highest standards of that time.
Comparing the modern era to ancient times would of course reveal a significant generation gap.
It was like driving a sports car and mocking an ancient horse-drawn carriage for being slow.
You just couldn't compare them like that.
The screen distorted for a moment and then returned to the normal view.
The four of them were already walking around, cleaning up the battlefield.
Li Chengxi pressed the alt key to see if he had missed anything.
At that moment, he saw that among the circle of thrones, one had turned into a phantom.
When he released the alt key, the phantom turned back into a solid object.
"The throne to your front left. Yes, that one. It might be a mechanism. See if you can open it."
The guidance other gods gave their followers was always vague, but Li Chengxi's was nanny-level guidance from start to finish.
We're different from the others.
