Chapter 204 Aeron And His Friends
Aeron was so scared that he couldn't move. Even though he was currently level 40, and he was considered a pro among all the players. When he heard the terrible roar coming from the sky, Aeron was both surprised and scared to the point that he was unable to move.
That feeling was not him being simply afraid, that fear seemed to come from within his soul. It was Just like he was facing a god.
Hikaru understood what Aeron was feeling. When he first came to this world, The Gravity Catfish also made him feel apocalyptic level fear, at that time, Saraya was so scared that she fainted.
That was the power of a higher leveled class.
Although Aeron was already level 40, and his total stats were not higher than 200,000. The Anacotha was different, although it was only 10 levels higher than Aeron, its total stats were more than 35 million.
In other words, the Anacotha's stats were 175 times higher than Aeron's stats. Besides, the Anacotha's Rarity is UR+, in other words, the Anacotha is a descendant of a legendary race, so it has the ability to suppress other lower races.
Aeron wanted to cry, he went to the Void Lord's territory to find a safe place to live. However, Aeron did not think that he would meet a terrifying monster when he arrived here.
That black shadow was like a giant snake with two outstretched wings that covered the sky. Although the sky was obscured by the fog, there was still a bit of light shining through the layers of the fog, so the two wings of the monster were like a dark cloud covering the entire sky.
Aeron wanted to run away but he couldn't understand why his body couldn't move. The feeling of fear spreading through his body made him sweat nonstop, however, he also felt cold. It was as if he were in an ice cellar.
Not just Aeron, everyone else inside the territory was like him, including Darnag, Larinu, etc. They all felt so scared that they couldn't move.
Then, that black shadow suddenly faded away and disappeared.
After a while, Aeron regained his senses, it was like what had just happened was a dream and this made him frown. He looked towards the city gate, where there were two lizards in armor, holding knives, when he saw them, he was a little hesitant in his heart.
Yes, if it was before, he would certainly not hesitate to enter the territory in front of him, however, after seeing that monster appear in the sky, he immediately hesitated.
Aeron wondered if his decision was right or wrong, would the monster attack the Void Lord's domain? Would he have a safe life in the Void Lord's domain...
Many questions appeared in his mind, and this made him hesitate, as he did not know whether to go inside or not.
When Larinu went out, he saw many players standing in the distance and looking at the territory. Those players were all like Aeron, after the Anacotha appeared in the sky they were hesitating, they did not know whether to enter or not.
Larinu was amused, previously he was too scared to move. However, right after that, his master used sound transmission magic, to tell him that the monster was summoned by him and that he didn't need to worry.
Although Larinu was completely loyal to Hikaru, however, after learning about the terrible monster he summoned, Larinu subconsciously felt that Hikaru was a God.
During his life in this world, Larinu had encountered many terrible monsters, however, this was the first time he had seen such a terrible monster like the Anacotha.
Even the monster that had destroyed his entire group of lizards was not even a 1/100 of the Anacotha.
With Larinu's experience, a monster as terrifying as the Anacotha could destroy a High-class Kingdom with ease.
To summon and control such a terrifying monster, the summoner must be a God-like existence. Larinu felt even more proud that he became a subordinate to an existence like Hikaru.
He looked at the players outside and shouted: "Don't worry, it's a monster summoned by the Void Lord to defend the territory, it won't attack you if you don't cause any harm to the void lord's domain."
"If anyone wants to enter the territory, please follow the instructions of your guide, obey the laws of this territory, or else, it will be your end."
As Larinu spoke he pointed at the top of the city wall, the players looked in the direction that Larinu pointed, and they saw 7 sets of corpses that were hung.
The vines that made up the wall grew seven thorns, but those thorns were used to hang the bodies of the 7 players who messed up and killed other players inside Hikaru's domain.
Larinu continued: "Those guys dared to kill other players inside the Void Lord's domain, and that's the result. Our territory welcomes everyone with goodwill, and we provide safety. If anyone dares to break the law, this wall will be where you are buried."
Larinu's words were both threatening and reassuring. It was threatening to those who had bad intentions concerning the territory, and it was reassuring to other players that they could safely enter this place and live.
After saying these, Larinu turned his head away, he didn't care if the other players entered the territory or not. Anyway, Selvih and Anno had said that he just had to behave properly, there was no need to invite others to this place, and he did not need to be afraid of anyone else.
Selvih and Anno also said that the sole owner of this place is Hikaru, only Hikaru and his followers have the right to give orders to others.
Whether a King of another Kingdom or a noble, entered this territory they will all be treated fairly, without exception.
Therefore, it was not necessary for Larinu to be enthusiastic with the players out there, nor should he be too arrogant, rather he would behave in a normal way.
Seeing Larinu leave, the players looked at each other, then at the sky, then back at the seven sets of corpses hanging on the wall.
The players hesitated again, even though they heard Larinu say that the monster wouldn't hurt them with certainty, they still couldn't believe it. Anyway, they also didn't know if the other 7 sets of bodies were really those of players who caused trouble in the territory, or those who opposed the Void Lord and were killed.
Aeron looked at the hesitant players and sighed, he felt that the lizard was telling the truth. Anyway, the Void Lord was also an NPC, certainly he would not cheat players.
Besides, the lizard's attitude from earlier also allowed Aeron to know that they really didn't need players to enter the Void Lord's domain.
Aeron thought for a moment, and he decided to text his friends. That's right, after all, he had lived here for a while, and through trading, he had become friends with some people.
Besides, Aeron also found some of his old friends from when he was still living on Earth. Of course, Aeron only selected those who he considered trustworthy, he didn't want to risk dealing with untrustworthy people.
After all, this place was not Earth, without following the law, the true nature of man would be revealed. When he heard the lizard say that the Void Lord's territory had its own rules and that everyone had to obey he was happy.
It was also one of the reasons why Aeron believed the Void Lord's domain was a safe place. Where there were rules then there was order, where there were no rules then there was disorder.
He opened up the System function panel, and selected the secret chat group.
…
Aeron: I have come to the Void Lord's domain.
-When? Is that place okay?
- Is there any food or resources?
- Don't worry about the food or resources, the main priority is safety.
Yes, just be safe.
Aeron: I haven't gone inside yet, but everything seems to be fine. I just met the lizard race, maybe there will be other races inside.
- Many other races? It sounds… dangerous.
- You are wrong, if it is dangerous, other races will not come and live in the Void Lord's territory.
- That's right.
- If the place is good, many people will come and live there, if there are many other races living there, it means that the Void Lord's territory is a safe place.
- A safe place will certainly have plenty of food and resources, so we don't have to worry too much about those problems.
Aeron: However, when I got to this place, I saw 7 sets of bodies hanging on the wall. Those bodies were relatively new, they probably died not long ago.
- Bodies? Hanging on the city wall?
Aeron: Yes, there was a lizard who seemed to be the leader of the lizard guard group. He said that those 7 sets of bodies were from people who messed up and killed other players in the territory, so they were killed and hung on the wall.
- Awful.
- No, it's very good. That proves that the law there is very strict, just like the one on Earth.
- It seems to be more terrible than the laws on Earth, however, it is very good. Now, the guilds created by the players themselves are very chaotic, and they are without any rules. The weak become food for the strong, and the women become toys for men.
- Yes, it seems the Void Lord's territory is a place worth living.
- Haizz, but if you want to go to the Void Lord's territory, you need to leave our territory.
- Don't worry, it's not really good to keep our territory. What we need now is to find a safe place to live and thrive. Later, when we are strong enough, we can take a certain territory and make it our domain.
- Yes, there are more than 1 billion players in this world, which means that there are more than 1 billion territories, can't we find a derelict territory.
Aeron: There's one more thing. I saw a giant monster.
- Giant? How huge is it?
Aeron: It was so huge that it could cover the whole sky. It resembles a snake, and it's about 5,000 meters long, it also has two wings. However, it was between the layers of fog so I could not see it clearly. It was so frightening, its roar scared me so much I couldn't move. However, it seems to be a monster belonging to the Void Lord's domain.
- A snake more than 5,000 meters long, with wings, flying in the sky? Wait! Why do I feel this monster is a bit familiar?
- Familiar? Where have you met?
- Could it be… is it Anacotha?
