Star Domain

"I mean, I thought they would just attack you when they caught you off guard?"

Kenjaku clarified. He had to admit that was also frightened from the eyes just.

How many eyes did even appear? A hundred? Although it's just a hundred or so. It gave him a lot more pressure than the wave of ghouls.

A tension that made his danger instinct go awry. Kenjaku shook his head as he thought about how many dangers they encountered in this place. However, he also knew that to become stronger. You also need to take risks and go out of your comfort zone. If you're always scared, how are you supposed to fight for opportunities? How are you supposed to compete with others?

"That thing just now is called Diablo Formation." Dylan could only explain. He wouldn't have expected that those guys were crazy enough to launch that evil shit. "Once you are targeted with Diablo Formation. There's only one thing that you can do."

"What?" With a doubtful look, Hank couldn't help but ask.

"Flee..." Dylan chuckled.

"Well, hate to say this but. Kenjaku, what's the plan?" Kevin

Kenjaku helplessly looked at his teammates and at the smiling Dylan. He couldn't help but curse inwardly. 'Yeah, I almost forgot that I'm the strategist here.'

"I dislike to say this but I don't have a fucking plan. In the situation that we lack intelligence. It's really difficult to come up with an effective plan."

"We don't have much information about everything here. This lack of information is what's really dangerous. You can't build a wall without bricks, right? That's the same with a plan. You can't build a solid plan without information. Lest the plan would collapse easily if made hastily."

With a sigh, Kenjaku rubbed his temples. "We can only adapt and learn as the situation unfolds. Take everything as a valuable learning experience."

Hearing this, Orochi, who was silent, suddenly spoke his thoughts. "We're now in an unfamiliar environment. We can't rely too much on Dylan's incomplete information. We can only use them as reference."

"Since the captain had spoken. Then let's do that." Hank nodded. Then his eyes shifted to Dylan. "Tell us more about this Diablo Formation."

Hearing this, Dylan nodded. "Fine... Diablo Formation is..."

Just like that, the four listened intently as Dylan explained. It turned out that the Diablo Formation is unique to the Warmongers. They uniquely position themselves, gather the power of nature through the formation, and combine their power.

Diablo Formation allows the Warmongers to have an increase in armor penetration and critical strike chance...

He explained to them how that worked. First is armor penetration. It allows the user to easily penetrate the defensive equipment of the target or increase the chances of hits. The higher the value of armor penetration, the less effective the defensive means of the target would be. At least, that's how it works in the game. Dylan wasn't sure in reality.

Second, the increase of critical strike chance. In the game, there's a chance of critical strike 1 out of 100 attacks. And that 1 lucky critical brings almost double or even triple damage depending on the value of critical damage, plus it ignores armor and defensive equipment like armor pen. The higher the percentage of critical strike chance, the higher the chance of triggering critical hits.

After the conversation and further discussion. They decided to rest for a while.

They stayed in the Forest of Fire for a day. The real name of the forest is actually unknown but they decided to call it that way to the red grasses and tall trees with crimson leaves covered with flames.

"Finally, we've reached this so-called Star Domain. That Forest of Fire isn't a good place for us to stay that long or we'll easily die of dehydration."

"Fuck right? If only there was a support role with us with a water element, it would come in handy. We can only rely on the stock of water we replenished on the anti-gravity falls."

As usual, Hank and Kevin were the first ones to break the silence.

On the other hand, Dylan looked around with focused eyes. Ahead was a dim atmosphere; he could see trails and footprints on the shadowy, misty ground.

The dividing line between the Firest of Fire was a line of darkness. If one took a step forward, one would even think that they appeared in a separate dimension.

'The entrance should be at the back of the statue of Titan of Shadows...'

Seeing Dylan's behavior, the group tacitly became silent. At this moment, there's no sound of footsteps as the darkness devoured the sound they made.

"There's nothing but darkness here..." Kenjaku spoke. Unfortunately, the sound waves got devoured by the atmosphere before they could travel. "This is bad... How are we supposed to communicate now? Through gestures and body language?

Kenjaku also saw Hank and Kevin turn their attention to him. He could see their lips were moving, but there was no sound coming out.

'It's this place. The traces of god aura are in this place!' Orochi's face became grim. He could feel that the quality of the aura wasn't worse than the peak of the Sun God. This fact made Orochi realize that there's likely a fortuitous opportunity here or even a heavenly treasure that belongs to the Domain of Gods!

He looked at Dylan secretly. 'This guy's target isn't related to God Aura? Or does he have a specific target goal in this place? No matter what, this guy seems to have a lot of secrets.'

If Dylan knew what Orochi was thinking. The chance was he would only laugh it away. After all, his goal doesn't have anything to do with treasures or god. His goal was more valuable than those! A profession! Something that could change the Destiny of a creature single-handedly.

Even a mediocre pig, a clumsy frog, or a sick fish would become a dragon once they acquire an A-rank and above the level of the profession. It's like a fish leaping to the Dragon Gate, achieving evolution.

At this time, in the middle of the darkness, there was solitary statue with the body of a human and the head of a dog.
