I have an Apocalypse City Chapter 1278

Chapter 1278: Chapter 1280: Mission Accomplished Chapter 1278: Chapter 1280: Mission Accomplished “Benefactor, have you already repressed the Demon God?” Master Yiwen, in the iron cage, saw Song Jian and a surprised smile emerged on his face as he quickly asked.

“Haha, the Demon God will never appear again…” Song Jian laughed, leaping up and cutting open the iron cages hanging above in the great hall, releasing the monks inside.

“It seems, benefactor, you have successfully repressed it!” Master Yiwen gave Song Jian a bow and said.

Song Jian shook his head slightly and took out the Demon God's Tusk from his inventory, handing it to Master Yiwen.

“This is…” Master Yiwen's complexion dramatically changed, feeling the horrific aura emanating from the tusk over half a foot long and couldn't help but step back twice.

“Master, I have already eliminated that Demon God, and Zhenmo Temple will no longer experience the same situation as now!” Song Jian said.

Seeing the Demon God's Tusk in Song Jian's hands, Master Yiwen was overwhelmed with tears and suddenly began crying, “Since the day Zhenmo Temple was founded, it existed solely to suppress the Demon God. For thousands of years, Zhenmo Temple has continuously suffered from the Demon God's curse and divine power assaults, with thousands of monks having died…”

“This time, due to the resurfacing of the Demon God, it even brought calamity upon the civilians within hundreds of miles. Today, benefactor, for you to have eradicated this great menace, truly your merit is immeasurable!” Master Yiwen again deeply bowed to Song Jian, saying.

“Wuu wuu wuu~” The dozens of frail monks around also began to cry. With the death of the Demon God, the burden they carried on their shoulders was gone, and anyone, with just a mortal body, having to guard a deity lived in constant fear every single day. Moreover, with Zhenmo Temple having undergone such a catastrophe, only one in a hundred monks survived. Those who lived had all watched their companions die brutally at the hands of monsters, their hearts' anguish being unimaginable.

After the death of the Demon God, these monks seemed to have been liberated, feeling a great relief. Although their eyes still sparkled with lightning, each emaciated face now bore a smile filled with hope.

“Benefactor, please take good care of this rosary. Wearing it, you will be blessed by the Buddha…” Saying this, Master Yiwen shakily took off his sandalwood rosary necklace and handed it to Song Jian.

Song Jian received the rosary necklace, understanding in his heart that this must be the reward for completing the mission. He looked at the necklace; it consisted of one hundred and eight beads the size of dragon eyes, made of purple-black sandalwood, heavy in hand, and a subtle scent of sandalwood wafted from it, calming one's emotions.

“It's a treasure!” A smile emerged on the corner of Song Jian's mouth. Although he had not yet checked its properties, he could already confirm that the rosary possessed an extraordinary quality.

As the rosary was passed to Song Jian's hands, a purple-gold light slowly blossomed from each bead, as if each of the one hundred and eight beads were Legendary Items.

However, Song Jian knew in his heart that this naturally was impossible, but for the rosary to emit purple-gold light was a surprise beyond measure.

“Legendary Items, the mission reward is actually a Legendary Level item…” Song Jian thought to himself.

Although Song Jian had already encountered many Legendary quality items, in reality, among players, not to mention Legendary Level items, even epic level goods were rare. Possessing a single Dark Gold level item could already make players exuberantly happy, unable to resist showing off.

When Song Jian examined the specific attributes of these prayer beads, he was immediately stunned. The item was much better than he had expected; it turned out to be one of the scattered pieces of the War Buddha's native suit, on the same tier as the Sword Immortal suit.

“War Buddha Suit, I can't believe the quest reward is actually a piece of the War Buddha suit,” Song Jian felt a rush of excitement but was also slightly regretful that it wasn't a piece of the Sword Immortal suit. He had already gathered three pieces of the Sword Immortal suit, collecting almost half. If he had one more piece, he would have four, which would grant him at least two set attributes.

“If I have the chance in the future, I can swap it for a piece of the Sword Immortal suit!” Song Jian placed the “War Buddha's Prajna Vajra Prayer Beads” into his inventory slot, thinking to himself.

This was top-tier equipment for one of the ten unique professions, and its value was immense. Even without the Sword Immortal suit, it could sell for a large amount of Purple Crystals. However, no player with the War Buddha profession has appeared yet, so for the time being, this piece of equipment could only be put aside.

“Master, there are still many monsters in Zhenmo Temple. How about I slay them all and restore peace to the temple?” Song Jian asked.

“Then I am truly grateful for your help!” Master Yiwen bowed to Song Jian again and said, “After you have driven those monsters away, please also release the common folks captured in the front courtyard. Zhenmo Temple has brought such disaster upon them, and it weighs heavily on my conscience.”

Song Jian nodded, turned, and began walking out of the Demon God Shrine. At that moment, he suddenly received a new side quest in his task bar, entitled 'Eradicate Demons.' The content of the quest was for Song Jian to kill the monsters in Zhenmo Temple, at least fifty of them, and also to rescue at least twenty of the common people imprisoned in the front courtyard.

The reward for the quest was leveling up by one, and for each additional monster killed and every additional captured civilian rescued, the final reward for the quest would increase.

This side quest was a reward-type quest, easy in difficulty but rich in rewards–exactly the kind of quest that players loved the most.

However, such quests required the player to trigger them actively. If Song Jian had not taken the initiative to talk with Master Yiwen, or if their conversation hadn't touched on the subject of the quest, then the quest would not have been triggered.

Before long, the temple of Zhenmo resounded with shouts of battle and screams of pain as monster after monster fell to Song Jian. No longer as cautious as when he had sneaked into the temple, Song Jian unleashed the full force of the Thousand Swords Art. Hundreds of Spirit Swords surrounded him, and even without forming the Sword Formation, these blades, with the Red Lotus Karma Fire attached, left the temple's monsters utterly powerless to resist.

With the temple's biggest boss already defeated, Song Jian had no cause for concern. Now, he only worried that the monsters would flee, finding their numbers too few for his liking.

Hearing the commotion of battle, the temple's monsters all swarmed toward where Song Jian was. However, the fight lasted only a quarter of an hour before he had slaughtered them all. The few that were far away and sensed the swift annihilation of their companions became terrified and scattered, fleeing Zhenmo Temple toward distant places.

Glancing at his level, which had gone up by two, reaching level eighty-six, Song Jian smiled faintly. He was another step closer to the third-tier combat power test. This place was simply a leveling sanctuary, a paradise for leveling up.
