Yulia's task was completed just like that, with no dramatic occurrences.
Everything seemed so straightforward.
Yet, Zong Shen felt a bit melancholic, as though something was missing.
It was a feeling of helplessness, mainly because Yulia's experience was a tragedy.
Back in the dormitory at the mining area, Zong Shen did not find Yulia's father's remains.
But considering the situation in the mine back then, fearing the worst was conceivable.
Zong Shen sighed deeply, this task made him feel the brutality and harshness of those times.
It affected his mood significantly.
He turned around silently as Tasuya perceptively sensed Zong Shen's unease and wisely refrained from saying much, simply holding his arm gently, offering warmth and strength.
Yulia must be reunited with his parents in heaven now.
He left a blessing behind, hoping to protect Zong Shen with his own strength.
It could withstand a fatal hit with up to two thousand points of damage, a blessing that granted Zong Shen an extra life, in a way.
Suddenly, as if inspired by a flash of insight, Zong Shen seemed possessed, standing still.
A scene appeared in his mind of the sky raining down hellfire, with the target of this assault being Zong Shen's territory, far more powerful than it was now.
The sky above the territory had no sun or moon; instead, it transformed into an enormous dimensional passage, exuding a dark hue of mesmerising colors.
After waves of hellfire cleansed the ground, countless demons flapped their wings, swarming out from the other side of the dimensional passage, their faces ecstatic like desert wanderers suddenly discovering a spring.
The entire territory was abruptly devastated, smoke rose everywhere, many buildings destroyed, and countless civilians fled in all directions.
In this mind scene, Korby appeared, donned in sleek light armor, his sabre gleamed with orange light.
The giant wolf beneath him became even larger, clad in custom-fit leather armor, capable of releasing a wind blade from its maw.
Overall, he appeared ten times more formidable than before.
Korby mounted his giant wolf, launching into the air, leading thousands of wolf cavalry who howled long, counterattacking the ravaging demons, invincible for the moment, his sabre performing continuous slashes, causing typical Blood-Burning Demons to weep in defeat.
Yet, even such a powerful Korby had his skull crushed instantly by a descending Great Demon, utterly defenseless, and this demon also stomped the giant wolf to death.
Its enormous figure, towering tens of meters high, enveloped in ghostly flames, wherever it went, flames spread, leaving huge footprints on the ground, and it was always shown in the scene from behind.
Suddenly, the Great Demon seemed to notice something, violently turning its head, causing the scene in Zong Shen's mind to shake and blur, finally vanishing with a boom, leaving behind a terrifying and sinister smile in his last impression.
"Huff huff huff..."
"Damn it! What does that Great Demon want?"
"Are Blood-Burning Demons really that terrifying?"
"And what about the gigantic demon claw beyond the teleportation gate in the Burrow Challenge Cave?"
"As well as the Arcane Crystal Fragment in the lake possessing immense energy."
Zong Shen panted heavily, suddenly recalling numerous pieces of information related to the Other Dimension acquired during this period.
His back was instantly drenched in cold sweat.
Sweat beads also appeared on his forehead.
The earlier scene made him shiver, leading Zong Shen to ponder whether his territory could withstand an assault from the Blood-Burning Demon Corps.
As Lord, could he protect the territory and his subjects?
Even such ancient Giant Cities like Azshara turned to scorched earth under such terrifying onslaughts.
Thinking about this, an intense sense of crisis inexplicably surged.
Zong Shen clenched his fist, gently shook his head, and a fighting spirit welled up inside.
At this moment, he felt an inner urgency.
Not a single moment could be wasted; he must rapidly develop the territory.
Zong Shen and Tasuya climbed out of the basement, the stars in the night sky had vanished, the distant sky was tinged with a faint blue as the night neared its end.
After quite a bit of bustling, it was already past four in the early morning.
He didn't know where this crisis in the scene originated, but he knew he must prevent such scenes from unfolding in his territory.
Upon ascent, Luna and others approached him with concern.
"My Lord, what's wrong?"
"You look pale."
"There doesn't seem to have been any battle below?"
The group spoke in unison. Zong Shen forced a smile, waved his hand.
"I'm fine, prepare for battle, everyone."
"We may be insufficient alone."
"I'll have Korby lead Wolf Rider Squad One for support."
Though Yulia's task is complete, Wraith Kim's task remains unsolved.
He needs to eliminate the remnants of the so-called Sewn Monster Gu Lanqi.
Undoubtedly, this is a battle-type task.
Since it's not far from Odu Village and the task relates to Fear Demon King Bananazar, Zong Shen believes the task location is likely close to the Burial Ground, where Calamity Raven Church operates.
