Chapter 403: 228 Welfare Task
Thorn Oak City, Heavenly Abyss!
Under normal circumstances, both sides of the Heavenly Abyss are shielded.
Any power exceeding the limit of the barrier cannot cross from one side to the other.
The barrier strength at Thorn Oak city side of the Heavenly Abyss is set at Level 140; any entity surpassing Level 140 cannot come over from the Heavenly Abyss. They can go, but so far, those who dare to enter the Abyss World are few.
Therefore, they pay more attention to the barrier on the Abyss side compared to here.
Especially this holy son of Thorn Oak city, ever since he discovered his Divine Attribute, his level of attention to the Abyss side barrier has risen several notches. Initially checking once or twice a month, he now checks ten to eight times daily.
And it seems that the more you look, the more surprises you find. Almost the moment Paul Hopperton was killed, he was pleasantly surprised to discover fluctuations in the barrier.
The level that could pass through increased from Level 140 to Level 140.5 – not a big progress.
But with these things, once there’s the first fluctuation, there’ll be a second time, and a third time!
The complete opening of the barrier is not far off!
And in fact, at this moment, he wasn’t the only one who noticed fluctuations in the barrier.
All the Alliance controlled Heavenly Abyss barriers were fluctuating.
Some increased by 0.5 levels, some by 1 level!
No huge improvements were made.
But it doesn’t require a massive increase either.
Remember, not all sides of the Heavenly Abyss are harmonious like Thorn Oak City’s side.
Many are at a sharp confrontation with each other.
For a Heavenly Abyss like Thorn Oak city, a 0.5 level increase might not be a big problem, but for those sides at a sharp confrontation, even a 0.5 level increase can be a disastrous blow for the existence that guards here!
…
On Dean McKenzie’s side, as soon as Leo spoke, the system alert refreshed in front of Dean McKenzie.
[Please be aware, Guardian World Mission activated due to the breach of 54th Heavenly Abyss checkpoint, Abyss World invasion is imminent, all professionals, please proceed to the 53rd Heavenly Abyss to repel intruders!
Rewards will be calculated based on your performance in the mission!]
This system alert appeared not only in front of Dean McKenzie, but also in front of all Alliance professionals.
Both Donald Morgan and Leo received this system alert.
Leo was the first to exclaim after seeing the alert: “The 54th Heavenly Abyss?
Mr. McKenzie, bad news! The Abyss World is behind the 54th Heavenly Abyss. It is filled with countless Abyssal Demons. Once this Abyss checkpoint is broken, when the endless Abyss Demons invade, the Alliance will be destroyed!
What are we going to do?”
Dean McKenzie smiled faintly: “You need not worry about this!”
As he spoke, a bone fang pierced through Leo’s head, killing him instantly.
Leo died with a dumbfounded expression.
It seemed he couldn’t comprehend why Dean McKenzie would kill him at such a moment.
“Does the Abyss invasion necessarily have anything to do with not killing you?
Or shouldn’t I say, isn’t this situation today caused by you guys coming here?
Oh, the disaster of the Abyss invasion is caused by you guys, but now you want to pretend to be concerned for the nation and the people? What a joke, just go die quietly!”
With Leo being killed, the Holy Light Barrier collapsed instantly.
With a wave of Dean McKenzie’s hand, numerous skeletons appeared to clean up the battlefield. Dean McKenzie then turned his attention towards the 54th Heavenly Abyss.
“I’ll go over and take a look first!”
Dean McKenzie said as his Flight Skill activated.
With more than five hundred million Spirit points boosting all aspects of his magic, even his Flight Skill was enhanced.
Moreover, the system marked the location of the 54th Heavenly Abyss for Dean McKenzie.
It took Dean McKenzie only about 10 minutes to reach the 54th Heavenly Abyss, tens of thousands of miles away.
The 54th Heavenly Abyss is located near the Alaska Mountains in the west of the Alliance. There used to be a small town built to guard the Abyss, but now, it’s shattered.
Those responsible for guarding this area have almost all died in battle.
By the time Dean McKenzie arrived, only around 30 people remained, all facing the vast Abyssal army alone.
In the encirclement of the Abyssal army, they seemed like a solitary boat in a vast ocean, about to capsize at any moment.
Looking at the current situation, their destruction was merely a matter of time.
“It seems like our entire group is going to die here today!”
“If I knew this was going to happen today, I should have had my first time yesterday before coming back, so that even if I die today, it wouldn’t be as a virgin.”
“If you are really that desperate, there seem to be some Charming Demons inside. Do you want us to bring one for you?
To satisfy your last wish before death?”
“Bring it on, whoever dares!”
…
Surprisingly, those thirty-something people did not show too much despair in the face of this catalystic life-or-death situation. Instead, they were bantering at ease, making light of themselves, defying death.
The aura these individuals displayed could only be described as mocking the impotence of the Grim Reaper.
Maybe they were used to seeing life and death.
From their behaviour, Dean McKenzie saw a spirit that differed from most people of the Alliance.
This was undoubtedly a group of people with faith.
Dean McKenzie greatly admired them.
And hence, Dean McKenzie casually caught a Charming Demon and threw it down!
“Pfft!”
Below, the group of around 30 people were fighting intensely when a Charming Demon suddenly fell from the sky, landing right next to the guy who said he was a virgin.
