#401 - Chapter 400: Fallen Angel, Lucifer
“Accept.”
Jiang Han naturally didn't hesitate; he didn't care about the level, he would just do it.
“As expected of a junior who can slay remnant beasts, you truly have spirit.”
The blond man chuckled. “However, you must understand one thing: the trials ahead will only become more difficult.”
“So, you're trying to persuade me to give up?” Jiang Han said calmly.
“Just a reminder; the choice is yours,” the blond man shook his head. “I don't have that kind of free time.”
“That's for the best.”
Jiang Han said, “I don't like trouble either, so let's get this over with quickly and skip the theatrics.”
The blond man looked at Jiang Han with interest. “Kid, I'm starting to admire you a little.”
“State your name.”
Jiang Han remained silent.
The blond man smiled slightly. “You can call me Lucifer.”
“Night寒.”
Only then did Jiang Han reveal his game ID, while also feeling slightly surprised.
The name Lucifer is known to anyone with even a slight understanding of Western mythology.
The legendary fallen angel who launched a rebellion and drew his blade against the Holy Son.
Jiang Han's heart suddenly stirred, and he asked, “Have you ever killed a god?”
Lucifer was taken aback, then chuckled. “If you're referring to those arrogant and foolish fellows, then yes, I have.”
“Have you heard of Semitic gods?” Jiang Han asked.
“As I thought, the so-called gods you speak of are just those foolish fellows.” Lucifer sneered. “A bunch of cowards, worthy of being called gods?”
“It seems you have quite the hatred for these false gods.”
Jiang Han pondered. “Did they ever go to the Apocalypse Continent?”
“Probably more than that.”
Lucifer's lips still curled into a sneer. “I couldn't stop them back then; now, I'm afraid their traces are everywhere.”
“This so-called Lost Continent of yours is probably also within their calculations.”
“What do you mean?” Jiang Han asked, puzzled.
“There's no point in saying all this.”
Lucifer said indifferently, “I only want to know one thing now: what do you think of these foolish fellows?”
“Me?”
Jiang Han thought for a moment. “I don't have any particular opinion; they're just a group of slightly stronger enemies.”
“Sooner or later, I'll settle the score with them.”
“You certainly have guts.” Lucifer sized up Jiang Han. “But with your current strength, it might be a bit difficult.”
“So what?”
Jiang Han shrugged. “Not now doesn't mean not ever.”
“Haha… Hahaha…”
Lucifer was silent for a moment, then burst into laughter. “Interesting.”
“Night寒.”
He suddenly said, “Are you interested in taking a risk?”
“Are there benefits?” Jiang Han asked.
“Of course, and immense benefits.” Lucifer looked proud. “Something even those foolish fellows covet.”
“In that case, it's worth taking a risk.”
Jiang Han's mind raced. An item coveted even by false gods must be quite extraordinary.
“Naturally, it's worth it.”
Lucifer nodded, then changed the subject. “But before that, perhaps you should let me see your potential.”
“Only then will you be able to obtain my inheritance.”
“Killing the remnant beast wasn't enough?” Jiang Han asked.
“Not quite.”
Lucifer said disdainfully, “After all, it wasn't a complete body, just a remnant soul. While it proves you have some strength, it doesn't mean you can gain my approval.”
“That makes sense.”
Jiang Han nodded.
If it's really as Lucifer said, concerning something even gods are greedy for, then higher standards are to be expected.
“Then, tell me, what should I do?”
Jiang Han became somewhat expectant.
“You don't need to do much; first, repair the Savage Fang completely.”
“After that, I will naturally make a judgment.”
Lucifer said calmly, “Moreover, the Savage Fang is also crucial.”
“Understood.”
Jiang Han said, “This is also what I wanted to know: what exactly is the third task?”
“It's not complicated.”
Lucifer said indifferently, “You need to find the Blood Night Forest. Once you get there, there are some rather troublesome monsters you need to deal with.”
“Their blood is also needed by the Savage Fang.”
“Blood Night Forest?”
Jiang Han frowned. “Never heard of it.”
“Of course, you haven't heard of it, because it's a forest on the Apocalypse Continent.”
Lucifer said, “And even on the Apocalypse Continent, not many people are qualified to know about it.”
“Doesn't that mean I have to go to the Apocalypse Continent?”
Jiang Han hesitated. “Whether this place still exists is a question.”
“No need to doubt it. Even I have perished; that Apocalypse Continent is unlikely to exist.”
Lucifer explained.
“Then why are you telling me to find the Blood Night Forest?”
Jiang Han was puzzled, but then he realized something. “Wait, do you mean in the gathering place of all the destroyed worlds?”
