The Boss King actually disguised himself as a novice village chief?!
Chapter 314 - 268: Unlocking a New Profession

Chapter 314: Chapter 268: Unlocking a New Profession

Lind looked at the withered claw on the ground.

The Blood Claw of the Cunning King had quickly curled up after being severed by his sword and dropping to the ground.

The power it contained had already dissipated completely with the defeat of the Cunning King, turning into an ugly chicken claw, shriveled like a branch.

Lind was uncertain of the true extent of the Cunning King’s power. Perhaps it was similar to the source of the Lion Knight’s power, that of a lion, or maybe the Snake Catcher’s path to power would soon reach its end.

He pressed his Broken Sword down on the withered claw, but there was no reaction at all.

Explosive Flame surged from the blade.

Turning the claw to ashes.

One must always be cautious when the time calls for it.

"If it’s truly like Leon, could the blood or tissues also spread or even parasitize?" Lind felt he wasn’t cautious enough, he should be even more cautious!

...

From the direction of Emerald Hill, one could see the sky above Snake Catcher Fortress ablaze with red.

This battle, of unknown duration, had finally come to an end.

A flurry of debate blew up on the forums, with most discussions revolving around how a boss like Baron Ronan, so powerful and oppressive, emerged with such a horrifying presence. After all, never before had the undead been so powerless against any boss as they had been against Baron Ronan.

Complaints followed, about the lack of player involvement.

Some even considered the introduction of Baron Ronan a failure in game design.

Presenting a boss that the undead couldn’t beat at all and then resolving it with a cut scene where an NPC defeats the boss felt like a contrived plot device.

So, what was the purpose of introducing this boss? Merely to showcase a CG performance for the players?

Compared to watching CG, the vast majority of players preferred to defeat the boss with their own hands.

Of course, there were also those who found the battle thrilling, especially the undead who witnessed it firsthand. They could feel the scorching wind on their faces and see the fortress reduced to rubble, a sensation that was exhilarating.

As videos started to be shared on other video platforms, it caught the attention of many who had never played the game before.

"What movie is this?"

"@AI Identify, what movie is this!"

"Any kind brother here willing to say, what movie is this?"

There had been several trends about the game "Doomsday Magic Ring," and this incident once again spiked the game’s popularity, drawing even more attention to it.

This might not be a good thing for Lind, even though his photo was now used as the video cover by many video creators and he had overwhelmingly been presumed to be an official character, practically equating his image with the game itself.

No matter how heated the debates on the internet, they were all irrelevant to Lind at the moment.

He stood in front of Snake Catcher Fortress, quietly watching ahead.

The Flying Dragon that hadn’t appeared before the undead for a long time came swooping in, breathing Magic Flame, and engulfed the already-collapsed Snake Catcher Fortress completely in a sea of fire.

The body of the great snake, along with the leaping flames, gradually vanished, and the rolling stench was entirely consumed by the flames.

This was both a farewell to Baron Ronan and the soldiers who died here, and a thorough "sterilization." Whatever secrets this fortress still held, nothing would remain once the flames had passed.

Now he could rest easy.

When it came to anything related to the "Abyss," he would be completely vigilant.

No one noticed that within a collapsed building, a "corpse" pinned to the wall by dozens of spears slowly moved its fingers.

The flames had charred the spear in her chest to a crisp, and the strange power of bondage dissipated.

But when the corpse opened its eyes, what awaited her was the great fire that would completely engulf her.

Raging flames filled the vision, devouring everything.

She opened her mouth, unable to make a sound, and staggered to her feet, trying to escape the place, only to discover that the entire Snake Catcher Fortress had turned into an inferno.

"Roar—!"

Above her, a dragon spread its wings and flew by, its vast wings stirring up a gale that rocked the sea of flames on the ground.

Suddenly, the dragon noticed her figure, and a blast of fiery breath covered her completely.

It incinerated everything within the fortress that might still be alive and peculiar.

These were Lind’s orders.

Flame Tumor Alex, carried them out decisively!

And the woman, whose identity was unknown, after "Resurrection," was completely burned to ashes.

...

The war had completely ended.

The Undead looked at the figure before them.

Some of them felt pity for the destruction of the Snake Catcher Fortress, where clearly, many items had not been retrieved, possibly including some interesting equipment or tools, which to the scavenging Undead, were treasures lost.

But others were exceedingly excited. The game concluded everything with a great fire, then opened the way to a new map. They marveled at the audacity of the officials, and this was just a beta test! The design of Snake Catcher Fortress was exceedingly complex, almost every room was explorable, and it seemed there were many secrets left to uncover. The Undead had only had time for one exploration, and now it was destroyed.

Does game modeling really cost nothing?

More people were waiting, waiting for the reward!

Based on normal game development, although defeating the BOSS and Foot Soldiers had nothing to do with them, benefits that should be unlocked probably would be unlocked, right?

Lind turned to look at the hundreds of Undead, facing their excited gazes and smiles, he quickly adjusted his emotions.

"Undead," Lind said, "I don’t want to share with you the feelings of personally slaying an old acquaintance, I only know something had taken over his body, and that thing has been expelled by me, of this I am utterly certain. We have already been through enough, we were mentally prepared for this, weren’t we?"

The Undead waited for Lind to speak. They could not understand the relationship between Lind and Baron Ronan, for this was the first time they had seen Baron Ronan.

The oppressive feeling brought by the super-sized BOSS was still fresh in their memories.

"You did well," Lind said. "This was a war, and I could not lack your power, but you are still too weak."

The Undead wanted to complain, but after thinking about the previous CG, they realized that Lind was right, they truly were too weak.

They couldn’t even touch the BOSS’s butt, a single area attack could wipe them all out.

Foot Soldiers should be the unsung heroes saving the world, not bears scrambling around with their heads in their hands.

"Baron Ronan’s will shall be inherited if you are willing to come to me," Lind said. "With the power of Snake Catcher replacing him to protect this land, to guard the Kingdom."

Lind’s words immediately translated into a different meaning in the ears of the Undead, of course, there were also newbies who did not understand.

Newbie Undead: "What does it mean, can we also become Lords?"

Undead: "Lords my ass, we’re just unwelcome outsiders, nameless ashes, faded ones."

"What does that mean?"

"The glory of being the main character will never relate to us, we’re just Foot Soldiers. Haven’t you played an online game before? They call us saviors with their lips, but in reality, they have us do all the dogshit errands like delivering messages and pulling weeds."

"So what did Lind mean just now?"

"We probably unlocked a new profession."

"New profession?"

At that, everyone understood.

Their gaze heated as they looked at Lind, nothing attracted them more than a new profession, and this time the profession unlocked was that of the Snake People, wouldn’t it mean they could turn into serpent-headed monsters?

That was too gross, but also too thrilling!
