Guo Huai quickly sent over all the information about the World’s Bastion. Naiyan skimmed through it. It described the history of the World’s Bastion, once the territory of the angels. They had built a magnificent aerial city. The ruler of the World’s Bastion was Upton, the elder brother of the archangel Tyrode.
During the demonic invasion, Upton and his people resisted fiercely, inflicting heavy losses on the demons. In the final battle, Upton thrust his sword into the chest of the demon king Utred, causing him a fatal wound. In his dying moments, Utred used his last bit of magic to curse Upton.
The World’s Bastion gained temporary peace, but over time, Upton gradually fell under demonic control. His temper became volatile, and he drove Tyrode out of the World’s Bastion. Decades later, he completely transformed into a fallen angel and became the ruler of the dark world.
This is the origin of the World’s Bastion instance, featuring a level-200 demonic lord, an existence comparable to a god.
Each minor boss in the World’s Bastion has its own background story. Players must defeat all these bosses before facing the final fallen angel, Upton.
In the near future, the fallen angel Upton will become an extremely challenging super boss for players.
First, assemble a team of a thousand players and take them out for some practice, Naiyan thought as he exited the headquarters of Star Pharmacy, receiving a message from Xie Yao.
“Naiyan, I just hatched the pet egg we obtained in the dark world.”
“What did it hatch into?” Naiyan asked, recalling that there was indeed such a pet egg in the guild vault.
“It’s a white raccoon cat.” Xie Yao replied, surprised that the pet egg had produced such a creature. It was slightly larger than a cat, something that could be held in two hands. Such a pet probably had no attack capability other than its ornamental value.
“A white raccoon cat?” Naiyan was surprised. Suddenly recalling something, he asked, “What kind of talent does this white raccoon cat have?”
“Speed talent.”
“Does it have poison attacks?”
“Yes, it has a talent for poison attacks.”
“What growth rate does it have?”
“Fifteen, not very high.”
“This is a good one. Use that Mutant Energy Crystal on it.” Naiyan said. He still had a Mutant Energy Crystal. Since this raccoon cat had just hatched, feeding it the crystal could enhance its growth.
“A Mutant Energy Crystal? For this raccoon cat?” Xie Yao asked in confusion. She was puzzled why such a high-level item should be used on a pet that seemed to have such poor attributes. Wasn’t that a waste?
“Just give it to her. She’ll surprise you.” Naiyan smiled mysteriously. He remembered that in his past life, there had been a raccoon cat with speed talent and poison attacks, which had consistently ranked in the top three among the strongest pets.
That raccoon cat had a growth rate of only 12, while Xie Yao’s had a growth rate of 15, which was already quite good.
Naiyan couldn’t fully explain how strong this raccoon cat was right now. Initially, it was very weak. In his past life, the owner of that raccoon cat had wanted to abandon it several times, but since it was his only pet, obtained during a quest when he couldn’t afford to buy another, he persisted. Later, as the raccoon cat leveled up, it gained two skills at levels 90 and 100, which made it powerful. Those skills involved complex formula calculations, which he would have to explain to Xie Yao later.
“Okay then.” Although puzzled, Xie Yao deeply believed that Naiyan must have his reasons.
Xie Yao and Naiyan met up, and Naiyan handed her the Mutant Energy Crystal.
Naiyan glanced at Xie Yao’s Holy Light Sprite and asked, “How is the Holy Light Sprite coming along?”
“It’s at 72% of level 2.” Xie Yao smiled gently.
The early levels of the Holy Light Sprite were relatively easy to train. After all, Xie Yao was already a high-level player and a mage with area-of-effect attacks, allowing her to clear monsters quickly. The Holy Light Sprite’s level was rising rapidly. It was estimated that after reaching level 3, the difficulty of leveling up would gradually increase.
Together, Naiyan and Xie Yao walked toward the guild headquarters in Okolen City.
In the square before the guild headquarters, over a thousand elite players from the Bull Tribe had assembled, conversing in small clusters. The moment they spotted Naiyan and Xie Yao entering, their ranks instantly buzzed with excitement.
“Boss Naiyan, hello!”
“Hello, sister-in-law!”
They greeted one after another, voices rising and falling.
Naiyan smiled and nodded. He recognized almost all of them, and more than 70% of them he could even call by name, as they were all elite members of the Bull Tribe.
Most of these thousand players were from the Grelan Empire, but there were also many from the Sa’tern Empire. Many of them had already settled in Okolen City and were under its jurisdiction, thus eligible to join the Bull Tribe. Due to Okolen City’s geographical location, the Bull Tribe had recruited many skilled players from the Sa’tern Empire, especially shamans, who played significant roles in emergencies and were essential members.
“Boss Naiyan, are we going into the World’s Bastion?”
“Yeah, Angelic Dominion and Century Syndicate have already sent people in. We can’t fall behind!”
“Not yet. Let’s gear up first!” Naiyan laughed. He needed to upgrade the equipment of these thousand players before entering the World’s Bastion.
As Naiyan and Xie Yao arrived at the guild headquarters, Guo Huai had dispatched over a hundred people carrying numerous high-level potions, alchemical items, various gems, and more, which would all be distributed to these players as consumables.
The players who had just received the items were excited. The raw material cost of these items was about seven or eight million gold coins, but on the market, they were worth no less than fifteen or sixteen million, with each person receiving items worth over ten thousand gold coins on average.
In addition to these items, Naiyan had also prepared many group teleportation scrolls, random teleportation scrolls, and other items. Everything was ready.
“Let’s move out. Our first target is the Lava Colossus!” Naiyan said in the team chat. He had wanted to defeat the Lava Colossus for a long time, but due to various events, he had postponed it until now.
Hearing the name Lava Colossus, the players were excited. The Molten Fire Forest was an unforgettable place for many members of the Bull Tribe.
More than a thousand players set off as a full team, heading toward the teleportation array in Okolen City.
The news of the Bull Tribe’s elite thousand-member team setting out immediately spread, drawing the attention of all guilds and players.
