"Equivalence in strength to the Second Realm, that's just a matter of power," Qin Chuan said softly. "Compared to the true Mythical Rank Second Realm, they're far from it!"
"The Second Realm has descended..." Milia glanced at Deliclay with some surprise, "I didn't expect you to have such a trump card."
"Hmph!" Deliclay sneered, "In the Heavenly Dome Rank, you can't survive this long without some tricks up your sleeve."
"However..." he rubbed his head with some irritation, "The fact that those two gave up on conquering the rank and withdrew does pose a problem."
"Thinking is such a hassle, damn it."
"There's a way to solve this problem," Milia spoke softly.
"How?" Deliclay's eyes lit up.
As long as it didn't require him to think, anything was fine.
"You got a nice item before, didn't you?" Milia suddenly smiled, "That will be enough."
"Are you saying..." Deliclay suddenly thought of something, his expression wavering.
"This is Screaming Demon Lake?"
Looking at the misty jungle before them, Lin Yue softly said, "I haven't heard any screaming."
"I don't know either." Qin Chuan shook his head slightly.
After leaving Pei Ma'er, he compared his current location with the map of the Heavenly Dome Rank and realized that they were very near to Screaming Demon Lake.
For this instance, which was only ranked A but had brought significant subsequent impacts, Qin Chuan wanted to explore it again.
According to the theory that instances are just projections, the real Lake Bottom Death Demon Kasakaban might not have died and might still exist within Screaming Demon Lake.
He wanted to try and kill the opponent again, allowing its soul, tainted by ominous auras, to truly rest in peace.
Meanwhile, he wanted to see if there were any clues nearby related to the instance.
"Let's go, we... Huh?" Qin Chuan was about to lead Lin Yue in when he suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
"What's wrong?" Lin Yue asked curiously.
"It seems like Nether River Demon God Deliclay has discovered us," Qin Chuan said slowly. "He has been meeting many people in a short time; his actions are very abnormal."
Using the Third Talent of the Sun Needle, he could clearly see the target's movements.
"It seems like our killing of the Wind Strangling Demon Lord is already known to him," Lin Yue said, slightly vexed. "I knew we should have been more discreet."
"Who could have anticipated such a big change in an SSS-ranked instance?" Qin Chuan shook his head helplessly. "It doesn't matter. If we're discovered, we're discovered."
"With the Third Talent of the Sun Needle, he can't escape."
Qin Chuan was very confident in his own strength.
His Extraordinary Value had already reached five million, and even without using Spirit Descent, his strength was comparable to the Mythical Rank.
Using Spirit Descent and adding Spirit Descent Resonance, his strength could surge to around twenty million in a short time.
Although he didn't know the specific divisions of strength beyond Mythical Rank, none of the Mythical Rank opponents he had met before had ever reached such a degree.
Moreover, he still had Time Stop.
No matter how much the opponent struggled, they couldn't escape deletion.
On this, Qin Chuan was very confident.
"Alright." Holding Qin Chuan's hand, Lin Yue smiled, "Let's go and see what Screaming Demon Lake looks like now."
She was curious about the instance she hadn't been able to conquer together with Qin Chuan.
Screaming Demon Lake wasn't very large in size.
With their current strength, it took only a moment to easily explore the surrounding area and then arrive at the center of the lake.
"We didn't find the deer," Qin Chuan looked at the calm bottom of the lake with a bit of regret. "The Lake Bottom Death Demon isn't here anymore."
"It seems that after I conquered Screaming Demon Lake, some new changes did occur."
Qin Chuan stepped forward, and the Water Master automatically parted the water around him, instantly freezing the cascading water under Frost Cold, creating a path to the bottom of the lake.
"Let's go down and have a look."
The two headed down together and soon arrived at the bottom of the lake.
Seeing the familiar scene at the bottom of the lake, Qin Chuan's face showed a trace of reminiscence.
"The battle with Kasakaban took place here."
"It took a full two times before I was able to kill him completely and achieve an SSS rating."
"That guy was very cunning, hiding the key 'Core' inside the deer. If it weren't for the Sun Needle detecting the instance clues, I might have missed it..."
Lin Yue listened quietly, with a smile on her lips, to the young man beside her recounting his past exploits in this place once more.
"There's a water-filled cave over there," Qin Chuan pointed in a direction, "That's where I found Kasakaban's diary before. I wonder if there will be any clues there now."
With that, Qin Chuan led Lin Yue toward the cave.
Soon, the familiar scene came into view.
They passed through the light membrane blocking the water and stepped directly into the cave, seeing the familiar lamp and an old piece of letter paper on the stone table.
Qin Chuan casually picked up the letter paper, and his expression immediately became solemn.
Thanks to the effects of the Truth Pill, he was able to comprehend the writing on it.
It wasn't the content he was familiar with.
The handwriting could still be made out as belonging to Kasakaban, but it appeared extremely sloppy. The text was unevenly sized and a large amount of messy lines made the content barely distinguishable.
[I don't want to become the Lake Bottom Death Demon!!!]
[Damn, it's all a plot! It's all a plot!!]
[Ominous... Ominous! Ha ha ha ha!!!]
[We are all ominous!]
[Nobody can escape! Nobody can escape!!]
The writing on the letter paper ended there, leaving Qin Chuan in silence.
