Steel Dude’s “Style”, ck Rock’s “AoE Petrify”, Subjugator’s “Obstruction skill”, Judge’s “Instant Guard ability”, and Fateless’s revtion of the “Bandit vs Bandit ultimate skill” as well as Snowleaf who was the most cunning one, with her personal secret “no boyfriend at the moment”, caused poor ck Rock who was full of anticipation to only end up with a major headache.
In this game of truth, the unluckiest one was him. He was the one who revealed the most earth-shattering secret, yet not a single one in the party had the conscience to reveal an equally shocking secret. Maybe it was because no one else had a secret that wasparable to his Dark Gold essory, or maybe they had some unspeakable reasons for keeping the secrets to themselves, all he felt was a mncholic depression at how things turned out.
Luckily, Qin Ruo was one who was rtively pure and honest as he revealed the secret about the Amethyst Orc’s Sealed Core. At least ck Rock was able to feel slightly better about all this.
The origin of the Tier 5 Miniboss Sealed Mana Core was indeed an important news that was highly valuable even to champion yers...
With the magnitude of this burning question everyone had, no one dared to pry and always left Qin Ruo alone. No one would have ever imagined that the tight-lipped Qin Ruo would volunteer to share such a crucial secret on his own volition.
With the revtion of his secret, the other nine members in the party felt such passion and excitement course through their veins!
All the members gathered excitedly next to him, ears perked with anticipation, listening attentively to Qin Ruo’s detailed exnation of how he entered the Emerald in and searched for the Lost Merchant, epted the quest and proceeded toplete all the tasks. Upon hearing his exnation, all of them instantly became deted and dismayed.
The level of difficulty and requirements needed toplete the quest were too high!
Firstly and most importantly, to fulfill the Bloodthirsty Tree’s 180-second long drain-time was in itself on an insane scale...
Even if they were lucky enough to enter the Great Tree Forest, it was apparent that the quest was not meant formon sses. It would probably be better for Aquamancers, but then it did not mean that they would be able to appear exactly nearby Mikel which needed a Vampire Crystal. Besides, in the situation where a map was not avable, the Bloodthirsty Trees would be constantly attacking them. If they were to appear nearby NPCs like Isabelle, it would not be of any help in ces like the Emerald in as they would not be able to return to the Great Tree Forest to kill Tier 5 monsters.
Although Qin Ruo’s exnation cleared the mystery surrounding his acquisition of the Amethyst Orc, the tant fact is that knowing how he did it served them no good whatsoever...
ck Rock thought to himself in contempt, ‘Now I know who is the most cunning of all... The secret involving the Amethyst Orc and the Lost Merchant did not even tell us anything about him personally. Even if he tells us this secret it does not affect Qin Ruo in any way. This is so despicable of him!’
Qin Ruo who was the winner of the previous battle had been waiting eagerly to ask all of them one question each, but they crushed that hope of his and asked him to choose only one person to question.
Dejectedly, he realized that he misheard the rules. After contemting for what felt like ages, with the others secretly dropping hints of who to choose, he finally chose crafty Snowleaf as the unlucky one to question...
She could only me herself for revealing such a nonsensical secret about having no boyfriend.
“Alright then Snowleaf, it’s gotta be you. Tell us your secret.”
Steel Dude and the rest of the unruly guys stood right by Qin Ruo and looked cheekily at Snowleaf who was hugging Poochie and standing very much alone.
“Yeah, tell us.”
Under their insistent pressure, Snowleaf, who was staring at Poochie snuggled within her embrace, finally blurted out with much resentment and helplessness, “I acquired the Cryospider summoning skill from the second floor of the Graveyard of the Gods. It is an Magic-type monster with a self-exploding ability that ignores all the target’s basic defenses, Magic Damage 170... Happy now?” said the beautiful Summoner who finally revealed a useful secret about herself.
Magic-type monster! Not bad, not bad.”
“... I knew it.”
“You tricky thing.”
“Alright everyone, the time for idle conversations is up! The warp portal is right up ahead. The one guarding it is a Tier 5 Wind-type Boss “Skelewing Dragon”. I would like your input on this...” Sister Violet cut their pointless rambling short and continued on asking, ” What do you think our probability of defeating the Tier 5 Boss is like with Tiger Cub watching us so closely?”
“...”

War was continuously raging on the fourth floor of the Graveyard of the Gods, whereas the fifth floor was emanating a harmonious vibe.
Bauhinia League’s Master Scarlet Bauhinia, Homme Fatale, Bloodstained King (Bauhinia League’s Blood Mary n Leader) as well as Netherspirit’s w League Master Netherw, Dark Dragon, Hall of Heroes’ League Master Majestic Hero, and Sword Emperor were all Supreme Champion yers who were rarely seen on a daily basis. Yet on this fine day, they were all assembled on the fifth floor of the Graveyard of Gods.
dded inplete sets of Legendary equipment, standing side by side on a strategic spot that allowed them to see a party marching toward a small mountain—it was the Demon Faction’s team.
“Whose turn is it to attack this time?”
Scarlet Bauhinia said those words casually, yet her gaze was directed at Netherw.
Thetter cursed and jokingly replied, “It won’t kill you to just say my name you know, if it’s my turn then so be it. I’m from the Netherspirit’s w, I’m not afraid of death.” he said with much indignation. Yet, the moment he turned his back on the rest, his eyes could not hide his deep sense of weariness and rather obvious apprehension...
Behind the seven people was a Champion party that was in no way less powerful than the seven Supreme Champions! Almost all of them were equipped withplete sets of Dark Gold equipment, with some Legendary equipment thrown into the mix.
They were a powerful group made up of all Field Commander level champion yers!
Among the group, aside from champion yers from the Three Great Leagues, there were three members who were from a more renowned elite n “ck Jail” from the Angel Faction in the party as well.
Netherw turned around and looked at a group of members sporting the Netherspirit’s w League insignia on their chests marching forward. Their faces were etched with a surge of passion and determination to win for justice.
Around him, the other n members had the same look of determination on their faces.
This time it was Netherspirit’s w’s League’s turn to take charge and give the Demon Faction party a piece of their minds. The rest of them not in the front lines were responsible for covering their backs and to reinforce if things went south...
Their objective was simple, which was to get rid of as many Demon Faction people as possible.
***
In the eyes of hundreds of millions of yers who died in the first few floors of the Graveyard of the Gods, the fifth floor was full of mystery and terror. To them, those who were able to enter the fifth floor were all assuredly Master yers with formidable abilities.
They probably believed that these yers have already obtained an abundance of rewards along their journey there...
This however, was something only those who have really stepped foot onto the fifth floor would know!
The fifth floor of the Graveyard of the Gods was evidently not a ce fourth-floor yers could survive in... The setting here was a hundred times more perilous and terrifying than the yers could have ever imagined.
Just a mere Tier 6 monster’s battle power wasparable to that of a Tier 5 Miniboss, albeit having lower HP, its ability was not much different; plus it had higher intelligence and was more devious than the yers...
Halfway through battles, they would suddenly turn tail and run, summon their friends with deafening howls, call for reinforcement, or rather just scamper back to their nests looking for their boss for protection.
Many Tier 4 yers who were strong and ferocious when in the outside world did not even have a chance here. They would face such harsh and cruel obstacles and situations, meeting unspeakable deaths and ends.
Sometimes, after a long and exhausting battle with one monster and the taste of victory was right in front of them, it just took one random howl from the monster and all possibility of victory would vanish. With just one howl, several other Tier 6 monsters would appear seemingly out of nowhere, with menacing looks in their eyes, charging toward the yers. The feeling where all the hard work had gone down the drain and the experience of being driven out war-torn and utterly helpless were something too embarrassing to recount.
Monsters that were shrewd would choose to hide themselves in their nests, or if they were favored by their boss, get their boss to fight their battles for them instead...
It did not matter whether it was a Tier 6 Miniboss, Tier 6 Elite Miniboss or Tier 6 Boss, any one of them would mercilessly crush a Tier 5 Supreme Champion. There was no chance in hell for Tier 4 yers.
As for the worst possible oue...
Sometimes, after yers had given their all in attacking and killing a Tier 6 monster, they might even end up with nothing at all from the kill. That crushing feeling was so frustrating that they would feel so much anger and bitterness.
Once you got used to what happens there, yers in the fifth floor should have a clearer understanding of how the Graveyard of God worked as it was pretty much simr to skipping levels when hunting monsters...
On the first and second floor, there were no attractive Divinities or Legendary Equipment as rewards, but the Tier 5 Boss was equipped with quite a number of Gold and Dark Gold equipment. With that said, these equipment alone were not attractive enough for the yers as they could also be easily obtained from the outside world.
On the third and fourth floor, the difficulty level increased because there were less number of yers. The yers could find hidden rewards in various ces; yet these were top-tier yers who were fighting Tier 5 Minibosses and Elite Bosses on a daily basis—to them, these bosses did not hold much of a threat nor were appealing enough.
With the introduction of the Pet System, the yers who were at the top of the Tier 4 yer list had a sudden realization—they knew that they were the only ones who had the highest chance of bing the next batch to advance as Tier 5 Supreme Champions.
As such, the fifth floor became the goal of almost all if not all top-tier yers—by then, the Tier 5 Supreme Champions who owned Divinity would rewrite the present structure of the Champions.
Even so, once they had truly stepped onto the fifth floor, the harsh reality would hit them: The difficulty on this floor was of another level! The difference was unbelievably immense, to the extent where people found it hard to ept!! It was like how a dozen newbie level yers who suddenly came face to face with blood-sucking Tier 3 and Tier 4 monsters. The gap between the abilities on both sides rose ever so sharply, which gave the Tier 4 Master yers problems in getting used to this difference.
At this point in time, all of them would then think of the Radiant Priest ss...
***
However, the Radiant Priest was a ss that had the highest death rate in the Graveyard of the Gods. It was rare to see the ss even on the third and fourth floor, what more the fifth floor? When it came to that, what they had to depend on was their ability to react swiftly...
Whichever side was able to hasten their attempt at sending a Radiant Priest onto the fifth floor of the Graveyard of the Gods, that side would surely be able to greatly increase the party’s battle power. The reason being that it would give them the edge and ability to counter Tier 6 monster groups and the Tier 6 Boss.
However!
A party from the Demon Faction which clearly had more Champion abilitiespared to the Angel Faction beat them to it. Their Radiant Priest sessfully entered the fifth floor, not only that, they had been killing off all of the Angel Faction Radiant Priests outside of the fifth floor—inciting the inevitable highest level war between the Angel Faction and Demon Faction.
Those who were in the Angel Faction’s Three Great Leagues were sure about one thing:
The Demon Faction’s power and force were so overwhelming that they had sessfully surpassed the Angel Faction! If Angel Faction were to continue letting them take all the glory and advance on at this rate, they would surely be able to obtain even more Divinities! It would even reach a point where they would push and humiliate them even further by sending the Angel Faction back to ground zero... In the chance that Demon Faction achieves this feat, the Angel Faction’s Three Great League would face the threat of being forcefully disbanded and all the ns’ Honor Points would be cleared to where they first started...
In order to prevent this from happening, they had to do something or else the League’s Honor Points would trickle from their hands and never to be seen again...
Even if they were facing a Demon Faction party that clearly had stronger abilities than they did, even if they had to pay the price of an enormous sacrifice, those under the Three Great League had no other choice!
That was the hardship these yers had to face behind their glorious status and reputation as top-tier yers, it was a fact unknown to the hundreds of millions of other yers.
With gloryes great responsibility!
Bauhinia League, Netherspirit’s w League, and Hall of Heroes League...
With this heavy responsibility ced on their shoulders, under iprehensible situations, they took turns to valiantly sacrifice their League’s strongest batch of warriors. In sacrificing their highest grade equipment, they ensured in return that the gap between the Two Great Leagues did not widen any further.
Using their lives over and over again just so they can dy the Demon Faction party’s progress!
As the Netherspirit’s w League members were getting ready to set out, Scarlet Bauhinia abruptly turned towards Netherw and said, “Netherw, if all goes well, we will have reinforcementsing to the fifth floor, they are seven yers with Field Commander abilities and a Radiant Priest... But before that, I hope that you will assure that your people will not go against the people of our very own Angel Faction.”
Netherw frowned slightly, looked at Scarlet Bauhinia thoughtfully and from the side of his eyes saw Dark Dragon who seemed to know something as a hardened look was shown on his face, then proceeded to nod his head.
“I got it, this I can promise you.”
