heart of courage
"Ding!~"
System prompt: Congratulations on defeating the ninth Demon God, Wrath of the Earth, Angus. Rewards: Level +1, Reputation +5000, Divine-tier potion [Heart of Courage]!
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh..."
Golden light descended continuously, propelling Jiang Han's level like a rocket, rapidly reaching level 116.
Strangely, despite slaying a terrifying and invincible Demon God, the rewards in terms of level and reputation were not as satisfactory as anticipated.
"Sigh..."
Watching Angus collapse in a thunderous manner, Jiang Han sighed deeply.
Actions have consequences!
In reality, everyone could see that it was an unintentional mistake on his part, causing him to inadvertently kill Angus. However, realizing that Angus had brought it upon himself, Jiang Han reluctantly accepted this regrettable fact. He hastily opened his package, attempting to soothe the lingering sorrow with the rewards granted by the system.
[Heart of Courage] (Divine-tier)
Introduction: You have slain one of the legendary Ten Demon Gods. Imagine the immense courage required for such an act. If you feel justified, consume this potion, and it will make you stronger.
Effects: After consumption, base health increases by 200,000, attack increases by 1000, defense increases by 1000.
Additional effects: After consumption, all attributes increase by 20%, lasting half an hour.
Special status: Bound, non-tradable, non-droppable.
...
The Heart of Courage is a potion containing a special blue liquid.
Having witnessed the effects of this divine elixir, Jiang Han couldn't help but feel delighted.
Compared to the Immortal Pill, which only boosts basic attack, the Heart of Courage is more comprehensive, enhancing attack, defense, and health without omission, significantly improving overall strength.
However, the introduction of the Heart of Courage seemed somewhat inexplicable, as if alluding to something.
In response, the broad-minded Jiang Han didn't mind.
Facing Angus, the Demon God, was an open and honorable one-on-one duel, and he felt no guilt within.
The system was utterly unaware of how hard Jiang Han had worked.
"Ding!~"
System prompt: Congratulations to player [Calamity of Order, Jiang Han] for successfully defeating one of the Ten Demon Gods, Wrath of the Earth, Angus. As the first player to kill a Demon God, you have obtained the divine-tier potion [Heart of Courage]!

...
"?????"
"Darn, darn, darn, darn, darn!!"
"I'm done for!"
"Just became a Demon God, and now I've killed one. Is the lifespan of 'Eternal' over?!"
"Thanks to Calamity of Order, I've broken free from a ten-year blood clot today!"
...
The news of Jiang Han becoming a Demon God had already caused a sensation throughout the city. Now, after a few minutes, an unexpected and massive surprise arrived, stunning all players in the server.
Killing a Demon God!
The value of such an announcement is beyond imagination.
...
"This..."
Jiang Han did not consent to this server-wide announcement, but it automatically broadcasted three times, leaving him very dissatisfied.
The achievement of being the first to kill a Demon God was too dazzling. A person as low-key, luxurious, and profound as him disdained letting others know about it. Moreover, he felt as if the system were blatantly retaliating against him, a rare honest person.
"I see!"
Raelph, who was observing, lightly exhaled, as if enlightened: "I think I understand why you, kid, possess so many enviable treasures and formidable means..."
Receiving ranking rewards and then claiming the honor of the first kill, such an operation showcased an unparalleled level of skill.
Attikas, filled with envy, remarked, "You're practically robbing them!"
"No one is perfect." Jiang Han bent down to pick up Angus's dropped equipment, modestly saying, "You two don't need to feel overly inferior."
Raelph: "..."
Attikas: "..."
Why does it feel like he's feeling overly inferior?
"Cough!"
Raelph cleared his throat, solemnly saying, "Next is to participate in the martial arts competition. Are you ready?"
"Of course!"
Jiang Han nodded, "However, before that, I need to go somewhere."
"Where?"
"The Evergreen Grassland."
...
Later, Raelph took Jiang Han to the Evergreen Grassland, while Attikas departed. He needed to return to the Dragon Realm for the coronation ceremony and officially become the new Dragon God.
Looking at the ever-changing scenery below, Jiang Han calmed his inner emotions, opened the Dark Camp Strength Ranking, and found that the ninth Demon God position, originally belonging to Angus, was now occupied by the Evil Curse · Lorey. Evidently, the rule was to move forward in sequence.
10. Dark Gate · Night Xiao
Undoubtedly, after achieving the first kill of a Demon God, there was no further operational space.
In reality, this non-reproducible flaw was impossible to exploit because Demon Gods wouldn't easily give up their rankings.
Indeed, in a victorious situation, continuous challenges were possible, but in case of failure, a long cooldown awaited.
If it weren't for Attikas being able to obtain the more powerful title of Dragon God, providing him with an opportunity, it wouldn't be possible.
As for causing trouble through ranking rewards, forget about it.
So far, it seemed like Jiang Han was the only player in the entire Dark Camp, while others were indigenous, and the limitations imposed by the rules on natives fighting each other were unknown to Jiang Han. However, with two Demon Gods by his side, it made sense.
"Ding!~"
System prompt: You have entered the map [Evergreen Grassland]!
The dawn was breaking.
The golden sun slowly rose from the edge of the earth, mercilessly dispelling the remaining cold and dampness of the night. Dewdrops formed on the tender green grass, reflecting a sparkling and translucent radiance.
"Rustle..."
Raelph and Jiang Han descended, bending the grass beneath their feet.
Taking a deep breath of fresh air, Jiang Han gazed at the distant scenery, greedily yet attentively taking in the breathtaking view.
"Why have you come to this place?" Raelph was puzzled, having no idea about Jiang Han's intentions.
The Evergreen Grassland was a border area, possessing no special significance.
"Just here to enjoy the scenery." Jiang Han confessed, "Don't you find the view here beautiful?"
"...,"
At his words, three black lines appeared on Raelph's forehead.
The martial arts competition was imminent, and the situation was delicate. A slight negligence could lead to irreparable consequences. Did this young man come here just to admire the scenery?
Nonsense!
Seeing Raelph's expression, Jiang Han chuckled, "Do you doubt it?"
"I doubt it!"
Raelph decisively shook his head.
"In that case, I won't hide anything." Jiang Han smiled, "I need you to swear to the Covenant God that you won't peek or intentionally
investigate what I'm doing here."
"Making me swear not to peek, and you call that not hiding anything?" Raelph rolled his eyes, hesitated for a moment, but eventually complied, meeting Jiang Han's request and stepping away.
Confirming that Raelph had walked away, Jiang Han deliberately changed his position, then softly called, "Little White!"
"Meow~~"
The agile and ethereal snow-white kitten appeared on Jiang Han's shoulder.
Gently stroking the head of the space-time mythical beast, Jiang Han whispered, "Activate the skill... Space Teleportation!"
