"Master Wang, the journey ahead is dangerous; we implore you to give it your all," Changsun Kui said helplessly. He didn't advise Wang Linchi to be cautious or to retreat if things became dangerous. This was because once exposed, there would be virtually no chance of survival. Wang Linchi's willingness to undertake this mission signified he was already prepared for death.

Moreover, with the lives of the entire city at stake, if Changsun Kui were speaking as a private individual, he would have discouraged Wang Linchi from going.

"Take this item, Master Wang. Use it sparingly unless absolutely necessary. It's more mysterious than the necklace made from the Demon Bone." With these words, Changsun Kui handed Wang Linchi a Mission Item.

Wang Linchi was inwardly amused; another reward in advance wasn't bad at all.

"Don't worry, I have this under control," Wang Linchi said earnestly.

[Bloodthirsty Fang]

[Type: Mission Item]

[Stored in inventory. Each time a Demonized Creature is killed, recovers 10% Health and Mana. In Abyssal Dungeons, each time a BOSS is killed, Root Bone +1, Spiritual Power +1. This effect lasts for 1 Abyssal Dungeon.]

Wang Linchi had never dreamt that this Bloodthirsty Fang was so powerful.

It was like an enhanced version of the Horn of the Bull Demon. However, its downside was also clear: you had to keep killing. The more you killed, the stronger you became, and it also restored your Health and Mana, so there was no need to worry about sustainability.

Unlike the Horn of the Bull Demon, which required killing enemies in certain quantities—ten thousand enemies just to gain 1 point for Root Bone and 1 for Spiritual Power—the Bloodthirsty Fang granted these increases just by killing a single BOSS.

Wait, does this mean that not all of the three million enemies are Abyssal Demons? Wang Linchi suddenly wondered.

There was a distinction: most of the time, BOSSes were Abyssal Demons, while Elite Monsters were Demonized Creatures. As for ordinary monsters, there was no way they could appear on this battlefield.

"In that case, I shall take my leave!" Having received the item, Wang Linchi left immediately.

Wang Linchi already knew the Commander's location. Now, he needed to approach stealthily; otherwise, the situation would be difficult to handle.

It was impossible to charge straight in, given the sheer number of enemies.

More importantly, a Commander was present who seemed capable of controlling the entire battlefield and directing the Abyssal Demons. This authority was originally supposed to belong to the Shock Devil, but since the Shock Devil was dead, this Commander had naturally taken over.

Because the Shock Devil's death hadn't been reported yet, this Commander wouldn't dare to act rashly.

The Shock Devil was known for its unpredictable temperament. If this Commander made any rash moves, they might be the first to perish when the Shock Devil arrived.

It was for this reason that Changsun Kui was confident they could delay things for twelve hours after Wang Linchi killed the Shock Devil.

If the Shock Devil didn't show up after twelve hours, the Commander would not likely continue to sit idly by. He would send scouts to search along the route, and the Shock Devil's death would likely be exposed as a result.

As he left, Wang Linchi considered that killing the Commander wouldn't actually buy more time. On the contrary, it would likely provoke the Abyssal Demons into attacking ahead of schedule.

However, different perspectives led to different desired outcomes.

Wang Linchi and the Game System's objective was to annihilate all Abyssal Demons. Therefore, eliminating the Commander would significantly weaken the Abyssal Demon army. Changsun Kui's goal, however, was to delay. Unfortunately, he was controlled by the Game System. Even if he understood this, he couldn't act on it and could only be manipulated by the System.

Otherwise, where would Changsun Kui's intelligence have come from? The Demon Slaying Army had no other means to obtain this information; it was provided by the Game System through Changsun Kui for Wang Linchi.

Wang Linchi raced along, using his camouflage to weave through the tide of Abyssal Demons.

This must be the place, Wang Linchi thought as he scanned his surroundings. His infiltration had been incident-free; the journey remarkably smooth.

He didn't have to worry about any clichéd plot twists; among the Abyssal Demon ranks, there were only bloody realities.

No beautiful women discovered him midway, nor did he encounter any Abyssal Demons adhering to the Righteous Path.

Amidst a sea of Health bars, Wang Linchi identified his target.

[BOSS Abyssal Demon · Lord's Brain LV110, Health (100,000,000/100,000,000)]

Besides its Health, there were also its Skills, attributes, and so on. Wang Linchi, now at level 127, could naturally discern all these details.

One hundred million Health? That's a bit low, Wang Linchi observed, looking at the Lord's Brain. Compared to other Abyssal Demons, it didn't seem to match the stats of a level 110 BOSS.

Its overall attributes weren't high, even lower than those of a typical level 100 Abyssal Demon.

However, its real strength lay in its Skills. Various legion-type auras could directly cover all Abyssal Demons and Demonized Creatures. As long as this Lord's Brain was present, their overall strength could increase by at least seventy percent. These auras, however, had not yet been activated. This was likely due to the Game System's intervention, waiting for the actual siege to begin before activating them to enhance the Abyssal Demons and Demonized Creatures.

They were already a hard nut to crack, and now this added another protective layer. It was fortunate the Shock Devil hadn't arrived earlier; otherwise, with the Lord's Brain's enhancement, both Wang Linchi and the Saint Master would have been utterly overwhelmed.

With the enemy's strength potentially nearly doubled, how could he possibly win? He had already struggled immensely against the unbuffed Shock Devil, let alone an enhanced one.

Wang Linchi wanted to stealthily approach and launch a sneak attack. However, after careful observation, he realized the surrounding area wasn't simple.

There are Guards, Wang Linchi immediately concluded.

The Lord's Brain itself was weak, indeed, but it could gather Abyssal Demons to protect it.

Thus, Wang Linchi had only one chance. If he failed to kill the Lord's Brain in a single decisive blow, he would face a group assault.

They claim to have strategies, yet they're like idiots who don't even know how to set up a proper camp, Wang Linchi grumbled internally. But then again, to say they have no strategy isn't quite right either; they do understand a fair amount.

He then began calculating based on the Lord's Brain's attributes.

Insta-killing it will be difficult.

And more critically, I'll have no escape route afterward.

Looking at the data and conclusions forming on his Thought Mirror, Wang Linchi felt a sense of helplessness.

The effects of his immunity to account suspension were still active; ten minutes hadn't even passed. It was clear how outrageously the Game System was allowing him to Plug in.

It wasn't that others couldn't Plug in, but rather that they lacked the necessary conditions.

Using Fanciful and Fickle with sixty percent of his Spiritual Power, combined with a sneak attack from the Saint Master, should be enough. Even if the damage fluctuated, the Saint Master could deliver a finishing blow.

The real challenge was how to escape intact.

Firstly, if the Saint Master assisted in the attack, Wang Linchi would be left without protection. Additionally, he wouldn't be able to use Fanciful and Fickle again immediately and would have to rely solely on his game character's abilities.

Once exposed, he would face a relentless onslaught from countless Abyssal Demons, an attack simply impossible to fend off.

As for having the Saint Master return to help him flee, that was even less likely. The Saint Master would be immediately swarmed by the Lord's Brain's Guards and wouldn't be able to break free.

Even if the Saint Master could break free, escape would be difficult. It wasn't as if the Abyssal Demons couldn't fly; there were agile types among them perfectly capable of catching up.

After running through numerous scenarios in his mind, he realized the only way to break this deadlock was to kill.

First, instantly eliminate the Lord's Brain. Then, rapidly kill a large number of BOSSes, using the Bloodthirsty Fang to quickly augment his Spiritual Power and Root Bone attributes.

Root Bone and Spiritual Power increased Health, Mana, attack, Defense, and other stats, effectively allowing him to sustain his fight through more fighting.

Sigh... there's no other way. Let's just fight. Since escape is impossible, so be it, Wang Linchi sighed internally.

The Saint Master quietly approached the Lord's Brain. Wang Linchi estimated the distance and relevant data, running simulations in his mind multiple times to ensure a flawless execution.

The next moment, Wang Linchi unleashed Fanciful and Fickle, formed from sixty percent of his Spiritual Power, launching an intangible attack directly at the Lord's Brain.

The Lord's Brain immediately swelled, resembling a massive, pulsating brain-like balloon.

This attack failed to kill the Lord's Brain instantly; it still had nearly a million Health points remaining.

The surrounding Abyssal Demon Guards instantly locked onto Wang Linchi and charged. Then, the Saint Master struck. A swift attack landed, and the Lord's Brain's remaining Health was wiped out in an instant.

Thankfully, the Lord's Brain's Health and Defense were far inferior to those of Abyssal Demon BOSSes of the same level, which was why it could be killed so cleanly and decisively. Had it been the Shock Devil, merely reducing its Health by half with such an attack would have been an excellent result, let alone achieving an instant kill.
