Traveling through the game world

"Shut up, prepare for battle!" Unable to stand Darlex's severe chuunibyou any longer, Lian Yang shouted.

With his Triple Slash positioning and Reverse Ghost Sword Technique ready, Lian Yang swiftly arrived in front of the army of mad adventurers.

"Succeed to the darkness!"

"Die!"

"Kill them!"

…………

The adventurer, who had been manipulated by evil thoughts and lost consciousness, seemed to have no idea that Lian Yang was there. He continued to roar unconsciously and fiercely attack Darlex.

"Rage Burst!" Baron's Rage Burst remains a powerful weapon in group battles, blasting crazed adventurers within a three-meter radius into the air in his frenzy.

"Triple Slash!" This time, the Triple Slash wasn't for positioning; it had returned to its artistic form of killing. Life withered between the strike and the retraction of the blade.

"Burn!" It was a flamethrower, a powerful weapon for gunners in large-scale battles. The flamethrower, transformed from a hand cannon, spewed out thick, scorching flames, fiercely burning the enemies before it.

"Feel the wrath of the Shadow Tyrant!" Darlex's spear swept across, cleaving every house within radius in two.

In the crowd, Baron unleashed his fury, violently blasting the out-of-control adventurers into the air.

Lian Yang's three-stage slashes weaved through the densely packed army of adventurers like streaks of light, each flash of sword light extinguishing a life beneath his blade.

"Killing an adventurer grants 1 kill point and 10% experience."

Killing an adventurer grants 1 kill point and 10% experience...

The beeping notifications kept ringing in his ears. Of course, Lian Yang felt absolutely no joy at gaining a large amount of experience. This kind of monotonous combat offered no satisfaction.

Meanwhile, the hand cannon in the gunner Alice's hand had somehow transformed into a flamethrower once again, and the scorching flames were fiercely burning the frenzied life before her.

Darlex, the Shadow Tyrant, truly lived up to his name. With a flash, he floated into the most densely populated area of ​​adventurers. With a roar, countless black, sharp swords erupted from the ground within a ten-meter radius of Darlex, piercing the crazed adventurers within that ten-meter radius of death. The passing of life testified to the tyrant's power.

The four-man group's attacks were sharp and terrifying, but the matter was far from over. The crazed adventurers became even more frenzied after the deaths of their companions. The swordsmen swung their swords wildly, trying to cut down any enemy in their path; the fighters seemed to transform their entire bodies into weapons, their fists, feet, even their teeth, all to rush towards Dalex and deliver a desperate blow; the rare sharpshooters in the crowd fired bullets that seemed to go berserk, tearing everything in their path; and among these crazed adventurers were even some avengers who were somewhere between madness and sanity, wielding scythes like grim reapers, reaping the lives of equally crazed adventurers.

The army of crazed adventurers had only one goal: to kill Darlex. Their only enemy was Darlex, but they were not allies. They didn't care if their attacks harmed the adventurers around them. In fact, if an adventurer fell, they wouldn't hesitate to trample over the fallen and charge madly towards Darlex.

Seeing this, even the chuunibyou-ish Darlex was somewhat terrified: "Are you all crazy? I am the ruler of darkness, I am the Shadow Tyrant Darlex! Do you all want to die?!"

"Shut up!" Lian Yang knocked down a crazed adventurer with a single Ghost Sword Technique, then turned and said, "They've all been controlled. An evil being capable of mind control has appeared in the forest. They've all been controlled by that evil being."

"What!" Dalex seemed to remember something: "I seem to recall a sneaky guy who said he would give me the power to rule the world, could it be this!"

Upon hearing Darlex's words, Baron killed an adventurer with a Soul-Devouring Hand and said, "If there's no one else, then it must be this one. To be honest, I'm curious why you're the only one among the four elemental elf leaders who is still conscious."

"Hahaha!" Upon hearing the question, Darlex laughed wildly, "I am already the master of darkness in this world! What right does he have to share this beautiful world with me!" As he spoke, he swung his spear and shouted, "Crazy insects! Die!"

"Is this a case of arrogance bordering on ignorance and fearlessness?" Lian Yang couldn't help but say, looking at Mad Dalex.

"Hmph, what a complete arrogance!" Alice curled her lip as she looked at the crazed Darlex. The ruler of darkness? Even the apostles of the demon realm wouldn't dare utter such boastful words.

The fierce battle continued when Lian Yang suddenly remembered something and asked, "Where's your dark elf? Why are you the only one fighting?"

He should have kept quiet, because once he started talking, Darex became even more frenzied: "They've all gloriously sacrificed themselves for me, the great Shadow Tyrant Darex! What a blessing, to have them sacrifice themselves for me!" He roared arrogantly and disdainfully, but the tears in his eyes betrayed his true feelings. However, Darex still insisted more forcefully: "These useless dark elves are utterly worthless, only able to block my path to slaughter these detestable adventurers! Therefore, I can only choose paths without dark elves to kill these annoying adventurers!"

Lian Yang fell silent, Alice also fell silent, and even Baron simply swung his sacred greatsword even faster and more fiercely at the adventurers in front of him who had gone mad and lost their humanity.

While it's true that Darex is somewhat immature, he definitely has feelings. Sam clearly discovered that of the four elemental elves, only Darex was beyond his control. In order to control the dark elves, he instigated the adventurers to relentlessly hunt down Darex. Only when Darex dies will the dark elves automatically rise to a new leader. The new leader will not be as powerful as Darex and will naturally be able to be controlled. Controlling the elf leader is controlling the elves.

After the Dark Elves, who served as the Guards, were completely wiped out by these crazed adventurers, Darlex realized that the Dark Elves were no match for them. Gathering more Dark Elves would only result in greater casualties. So he fled alone, simply to prevent more Dark Elves from being harmed.

Darlex may indeed be a sufferer of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome), but he is undoubtedly a respectable king among the dark elves.

"Keep using them, the yellow ones restore health, and the blue ones restore mana." Darlex, fighting in the very center of the adventurers' battle, was undoubtedly expending a huge amount of energy. As his partner in the battle, Lian Yang directly threw Darlex a set of Remy's Kiss and a set of Mana Juice.

Upon receiving the potion, Darlex immediately drank a bottle of Remy's Kiss and a bottle of Magic Juice, restoring himself to full strength. He laughed heartily, "Hahaha, clever human boy, I'm increasingly impressed with you! You actually know how to show respect to me, Shadow Tyrant Darlex."

"Uh!" Lian Yang, who was fighting the mad adventurer, stumbled upon hearing Darlex's words, thinking to himself, "Damn, this guy's terminal chuunibyou is hopeless."

"Die! You lowly adventurer!" With Darlex's roar, the last mad adventurer finally fell.

With ample supplies and formidable combat power, the Lianyang trio, along with the Dark Elf King Darex, easily slaughtered over a hundred out-of-control adventurers. If they were truly sane, the four of them had no better option than to run. Sane adventurers possess various skills—offensive, defensive, debuffing, and controlling. However, even if these adventurers were sane, they wouldn't have gone so far as to try and kill Darex.

"Phew!" The three who had finished the battle couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. The pressure of fighting against hundreds of people was immense. The clash of swords and the flashing blades even made Lian Yang and Baron feel that this was more terrifying than facing thousands of elves.

"Let's go! Back to Silver Village immediately! Something big seems to be happening!" Having just finished the battle and barely had time to catch his breath, Lian Yang immediately decided to rush back to Silver Village. He didn't even dare check his loot or the new systems unlocked after reaching level 20. He was certain that more crazed adventurers and out-of-control elves would soon swarm in. Only Silver Village, protected by Tana, was a place where evil thoughts dared not enter.

“Great… uh!” Dalex was about to say something more! But Lian Yang’s sword was already at Dalex’s neck.

Dalex

Gender: Perhaps male

Professions: Dark Elf Lord, Shadow Tyrant, Arnold Forest, Corrupted Crystal Mine

Personality: Late-stage chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).

But! Being a chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur) isn't the same as being an idiot. Darlex, who had fought alongside him, was acutely aware of Lian Yang's strength. Moreover, Baron and Alice were simultaneously drawing their greatswords and conjuring cannons. One against three meant certain death!

"I miss Guardian Tana too! I'm going to the Silver Village too!" Forget about being great! Under the threat of death, Darlex decisively changed his tune. A wise man knows when to yield!

Silver Village

"Dalex? Lian Yang, why did you bring him here!" Tana was clearly surprised to see Darex in front of her, after all, the Shadow Tyrant was known for his bad temper.

Lian Yang said, "If he didn't come with us, he probably turned from a helmet spirit into armor." Yes, Darlex is also a dark elf, but he is a powerful ancient armor abandoned in a crystal mine for unknown reasons. Guided by dark forces, he gradually awakened and became a helmet spirit. Essentially, he is still armor, but he possesses immense power and self-awareness.

Baron added, "Things are getting complicated now. Most of the adventurers who entered the Arnofa Forest have been controlled by evil forces. They're attacking any conscious humans and elves with a frenzy. The Arnofa Forest is much more dangerous than before."

Darlex seemed a little reserved upon seeing Tana: "Tana... Lady Tana!"

Tana nodded to Darlex: "What happened? Why have the elves gone mad? And the adventurers too?"

Elves are strange beings; they are life forms created from the convergence of energy between heaven and earth. Each element of elves has a king, and there can only be one king. The thoughts of elves are collective yet independent. Therefore, to corrupt an element of elves, one must corrupt the king of that element. Similarly, if the elven king is not corrupted, the elves will not be corrupted either.

As the Dark Elf King, Darlex must know something, even though he wasn't corrupted by evil thoughts.

Sure enough, Darlex spoke up, "It's a dark power, unlike the pure power of the dark elves. This dark power is extremely evil; it's controlled by a malevolent consciousness. That consciousness tried to control me, but failed, and then many adventurers came to try and kill me."

Tana suddenly remembered Paris and asked, "Have you seen two female adventurers, one of whom is extremely powerful? I don't think evil thoughts could control her."

Darlex thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes, they went towards the Netherworld Prison. You know, that's a forbidden zone we dare not enter."
