Song Jian glanced at the Priestess, saying with a hint of helplessness, “It is indeed you. Didn’t you seal the Abyssal Demon? Could it be that the seal was broken?”

The priestess shook her head slightly, “The seal hasn’t been broken, but I feel a mysterious power that seems to want to break the Demon’s seal. If they succeed, it will definitely cause a huge disaster!”

“How does this concern me?” Song Jian shrugged his shoulders, petting the Black Dragon cub’s head as he spoke.

The Abyssal Demon was only a fifteenth-level elite boss. Forget that Song Jian was already at the eighteenth level, even his pet, the Black Dragon cub, wouldn’t necessarily view a fifteenth-level elite boss highly. If the Abyssal Demon really dared to appear in front of him, Song Jian would undoubtedly make it wish for death. After all, he was still suffering from the Abyss Curse, which reduced his luck by three points.

“The Abyssal Demon is currently extremely weak, and therefore its capabilities have dropped dramatically. Once it breaks free from the seal’s restraint, it will quickly recover its strength. Even if it only regains a little bit of its power, reaching the first order of Demon Lord, it will definitely seek revenge.” The priestess said with a smile.

“First Order Demon Lord?” Song Jian felt a sinking feeling in his heart upon hearing the term. It didn’t sound like a good sign.

“Yes, typically at the thirtieth level, one can challenge those with the first order strength, and once successful, they undergo a substantial change in power,” the priestess explained.

“Just like you? You now also possess first order strength, right?” Song Jian suddenly asked. When the priestess made her debut, she was able to eliminate hundreds of monsters that possessed the bloodline of the demon with a single blow. Such fearsome power left a deep impression on Song Jian.

“Yes, I already possess first order strength!” said the priestess candidly.

“Well then, what do you need me to do this time?” Song Jian sounded a little helpless. Even if he had an additional month’s time, he wouldn’t be able to level up to the thirtieth level. His only hope now was the priestess standing in front of him.

“Allow me to reintroduce myself. My name is Cecilia Roland. I’m a first order Dawn Priestess. You can refer to me as Priest Roland, or simply as Cecil.” The priestess smiled, curtseying to Song Jian as she said this.

“Nice to meet you, I’m Song Jian.” He nodded slightly in return.

“Alright then, let’s get down to business.” Priestess Cecilia smiled and said, “To break the seal of the Abyssal Demon, the Book of the Abyss must be used. The minions of the Abyssal Demon will surely do everything in their power to acquire the Book of the Abyss. You must stop them!”

“The Book of the Abyss? What is that? Where can I find it?” Song Jian frowned and asked. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

“The Book of the Abyss is hidden within the Blood Demon Cave. You must get there first and secure the Book of the Abyss. As long as you can bring the Book of the Abyss to me, I will be able to use it to completely kill the Abyssal Demon, preventing it from ever regenerating!” Priestess Cecilia said softly.

“But I don’t even know where the Blood Demon Cave is!” Song Jian was a bit frustrated. He was certain that there was no such place as the Blood Demon Cave within Doomsday City.

As expected, Priestess Cecilia said, “The Blood Demon Cave isn’t in this abandoned city. To get there, you must first go to the Silver Moon Commerce. Find someone who manages the place and they will arrange for you to enter the Blood Demon Cave.”

“Silver Moon Commerce, manager?” Song Jian raised an eyebrow, muttering to himself, “This sounds strangely familiar, it can’t be Annie, can it?”

“I wish I could help you, but as you know, with my current ability, I cannot leave this city.” Song Jian shrugged and stated.

Outside Doomsday City, layers of thick black fog prevent those within from leaving. As soon as Song Jian gets close to the black fog on the outskirts of the city, he feels a shudder through his body, indicating there must be something threatening his life within the fog.

According to the NPC, there were indeed monsters hidden within the black fog outside Doomsday City, blocking anyone who wanted to leave.

To leave the city, a Transmission Array is required. However, even in other cities, the construction of the Transmission Array would be a strategic project, and the materials needed for its construction were singulated items that couldn’t be purchased even if one wanted to.

Therefore, Song Jian currently doesn’t have the ability to leave this city.

“I can help to open a teleportation gate for you to leave here. After you’ve completed the task, you will naturally be able to return here easily.” Priestess Cecilia said with a smile.

“Lastly, one last question.” Song Jian raised a finger and asked, “What’re the benefits for me if I accomplish this task?”

“Isn’t keeping your life the biggest benefit?” Priestess Cecilia’s expression darkened a little and she answered in displeasure.

“Well, in reality, I don’t have a pressing need to kill the Abyssal Demon. As you know, our divine followers can rapidly improve our strength. Maybe by the time the Abyssal Demon finds me, I will already have the power to protect myself.” said Song Jian with a relaxed expression.

“Indeed, greed is mankind’s greatest sin!” Cecilia looked at Song Jian with a serious face and said, “You divine followers will surely be destroyed by your own greed!”

Song Jian shrugged and stayed silent, just looking at the priestess.

Finally, the priestess opened her mouth and said, “Alright, if you can complete this task, then I will teach you a skill of the Dawn Knights.”

“A skill of the Dawn Knights?” A look of joy appeared on Song Jian’s face. Sacred Parry is a skill of the Dawn Knights, which is Song Jian’s lifesaver. It can even resist and counter a bosses’ special move. Gaining another skill of the Dawn Knights would definitely elevate Song Jian’s power significantly.

“Great, just ensure that I can use the skill you are teaching!” Song Jian suddenly spoke, a light bulb going off in his head.

After all, knights’ abilities could not necessarily be used by Sword Controllers. For example, skills involving a shield’s use, given to Song Jian, he will not be able to use them.

“Of course, it’s one you will be able to use. It’s a sword technique. You could take an early look.” Priestess Cecilia generously showed the technique to Song Jian.

Now that she’d made her decision, Cecilia was not going to be stingy. She told Song Jian, “If you agree, I can give you the technique in advance.”

“Light Strike? The power of this technique is amazing!” Song Jian’s eyes widened in surprise. He nodded his head repeatedly, “I accept the task. I’ll handle it and ensure it will be completed successfully.”
