I Have 100M Summoning Scrolls - Chapter 21
Chapter 21: Archede, Gate, Ancient Battlefield
At midnight, Euden walked into an isolated path. He surveyed the empty surroundings, then slowly said, “You can all come out now.”
Instantly, four men wearing black clothes floated out from the shadows.
They bowed slightly towards Euden, and one said to him in a respectful tone, “My prince, it is very dangerous outside. It is time to return home.”
Euden looked at them and asked, “Did my father ask you to come?”
The man in black answered, “Yes.”
Euden simply snorted and said, “Interesting. He knew that I would come here, and had even sent men to stand in my way?”
The man in black raised an eyebrow but said nothing, “…”
Euden stared at the men in black. While his eyes were still relaxed, his voice was as sharp as a blade as he said, “I had used magic to change my voice and appearance. Even those that were close to me would not recognize me.
“You?
“How did you find out my identity?
“…”
The leader of the men in black was once again silent, but he had placed his hand on the hilt of his blade by his belt. A murderous intent appeared in his eyes.
He then suddenly said, “My prince, the king had decreed that you must return. If you refuse to, we are allowed to use force.”
Euden stared at him, “You dare?”
The leading man in black squinted his eyes and waved at him, then ordered his men and said, “It is the king’s orders. Why will I not? Do it! ‘Take’ the prince home!”
Instantly, the men in black pulled out their blades and headed directly towards Euden.
Euden had prepared himself, and with a backstep, he had avoided the men in black’s attacks. He then extended his right hand into the air, and a pure white sword materialized in his grasp.
He held the sword with both hands as he rode on the winds, his steps as light and graceful as a cat, and his elegant movements were like a dancer’s.
“Sword, Moon Shadow!”
Bang!
The white blade slashed through the air as if a phantasm was striking the body of the leading man in black. Then, a soft white light shone on the face of the leading man in black.
“Ho? The Holy Sword? I see! You have already found out about us!”
The man in black was struck, but he did not show any pain at all. Instead, he smiled coldly as he stared at Euden with disdain.
Euden pulled his sword and withdrew, blood instantly spurting out from the leading man in black’s wound and splattered on the ground that was being illuminated by white light. However, his expression remained unchanged and he simply let the blood flow.
He cleaned the blood from his sword and frowned, then asked, “What are you?”
The leading man in black laughed, “Us?
“Hahaha!
“What do you think we are?
“Magical beasts?
“Do you really think that the holy sword can suppress us?
“Ahahaha!”
Euden raised his sword and placed it in front of him horizontally. He was on high alert.
The man in black stared at him as he laughed without restraint, he threw the weapon in his hand. He then grabbed hold of his black coat, and ripped it apart with all his strength, revealing a monstrous body filled with spikes.
“Alright!
“Let me tell you!”
Purplish energy suddenly bubbled out from the man in black’s body. It quickly spread like poison gas and drowned his body.
“We are fangs, the fangs of resistance that bring hope to the disfavored!
“We are a disease, a disease called disfavor, and we are a plague that shall spread throughout the world!
“We are… Archede!”
The man in black suddenly ballooned and turned into a 5-meter-tall giant monster. It extended its giant wings, glided with the winds, and flew into the air where the moonlight shone.
At the same time, all the other men in black painfully groveled as they fell onto the ground. Their figures expanded, and their clothes were shredded by formidable power. They had all turned into purple wolves.
“Open… Domain of the Void!”
…
[Warning! Special event triggered! Entering special quest “Domain of the Void!”]
Zhang Yun, “???”
‘What was that?
‘I suddenly felt hungry and woke up for supper. Why did I suddenly enter a dungeon?
‘What the shit?!
‘This world has dungeons?!
Before Zhang Yun could look at it in detail, a new system prompt appeared and blocked his sight.

…
“What is this?
“What the hell is this?
“What the effing hell is this?
Zhang Yun called out three times, continuously dumbfounded.
Gate?
Ancient Battlefield?
Was that not something that existed only in the game? Why would there be such a thing in the other world?
Even the contents were the same. Some terrorist organization wanted to do bad things and summoned a Gate, then offered up sacrifices to the Lord on the other side of the Gate who ruled the Ancient Battlefield, so that it would allow its magical beast horde to invade reality.
If he wanted to end the event, he needed to defeat the terrorists that summoned the Gate, or enter the World-level dungeon, “The Ancient Battlefield”, defeat the ultimate boss inside, and destroy the source of the magical beast horde…
“No!
“What is going on here?
Zhang Yun could not help but be snarky and said, “While it is a good thing to give me free diamonds, is it not too exciting to directly get dragged into things like the ‘Gate’ and the ‘Ancient Battlefield,’ as well as this weird Archede organization?”
Ancient Battlefield!
That was the damn Ancient Battlefield!
That was the hardest World-level Dungeon within the Lost Kingdom! There were so many monsters in there! Even the bosses would take a walk and stroll around in groups! From normal to mythic! As well as the Lords that controlled the entire dimension! Plus, each of them was a super boss that could take on ten thousand enemies at one go!
Within the game, “The Ancient Battlefield” would only appear during large events, and the rewards for the events were very bountiful. Just the materials from killing a normal monster would surpass those of the normal bosses that he usually killed.
Accordingly, the dungeon was very difficult. Regardless of normal monsters or the bosses, their abilities were much more powerful than the ones from normal dungeons, and there were a lot more of them as well.
Not to mention, the final boss that was the Lord. It needed the strength from all the players before they could challenge it, and it needed a very long time to fight, not to mention that they might not win in the end…
“And?!
“Do you really think I can beat it?!
“I’m only at level 10, you know?!”
