Chapter 1 The Fire Demon King's Demise

With the death of the Fire Demon King, the rampaging fire elements throughout the mountain range also subsided.

"Finally dead." Shi Feng looked at the dissipating Black Dragon Avatar and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

If it weren't for the Abyssal Blade allowing him to transform into a Black Dragon, he wouldn't have been able to contend with the Fire Demon King at all. After all, even a weakened Fire Demon King was still a Mythic monster. Its power was far above his, and its HP was much thicker. Even with only 10% HP remaining, it could still kill him.

Although he had sacrificed 10 points of all attributes for this, looking at the mountain of treasures left behind after the Fire Demon King's death, all of it seemed insignificant.

As a World-class Boss, even though the Fire Demon King was forcibly weakened due to the quest, it was still a World-class Mythic Boss, and the drops were still very generous.

Moreover, killing the Fire Demon King wasn't just for its rich drops. The most important thing was the Guild Promotion Order, which was guaranteed to drop only on the first kill. Subsequent kills only had a chance of dropping it.

Currently, Zero Wing was a three-star Guild, which gave it a considerable advantage over other guilds. However, as the major guilds cleared Hell Mode 100-man Team Dungeons faster and faster, becoming a three-star Guild would be a matter of time.

There was a difference between Super Guilds and guilds like Zero Wing becoming three-star Guilds.

Whether it was the Guild Employment Hall or the Guild Training Room, the advantages of these two places depended on the guild's size. The larger the scale, the more advantageous it was. Zero Wing had finally become the number one guild in Star-Moon Kingdom. Even if it developed madly, its combat power might be the same as that of first-rate guilds, but its scale would be far behind, not to mention the Super Guilds that covered several kingdoms and empires, some even covering ten or twenty.

One could imagine how terrifying these Super Guilds would be after becoming three-star Guilds.

Zero Wing would not be able to compare, because its early accumulation was not on the same level. It started from scratch, building itself up from nothing. Even if it had taken the lead, it was still far behind the accumulation of first-rate guilds in the early stages, let alone the Super Guilds.

However, there was nothing that could be done about it. This was the snowball effect. Otherwise, the major forces would not have invested so heavily and recruited talents so wildly when God's Domain opened. It might not be obvious in the early stages, but it would become more and more obvious later on, and catching up would not be easy.

As long as the Super Guilds became three-star Guilds, they would quickly cultivate a large number of elite players, and their wealth would also increase significantly.

If Zero Wing, which dominated a kingdom, wanted to surpass these three-star Super Guilds in terms of development speed, there was only one way.

Advance to a four-star Guild!

A four-star Guild was different from a three-star Guild. The advantages were not reflected in scale, but in more detail. There were no additional special buildings, only the opening of the Adventurer's Association channel, officially becoming a large guild recognized by the Adventurer's Association. At that time, the Adventurer's Association would directly release large-scale quests to the guild, some easy, some difficult, and even kingdom-level quests.

The rewards for these quests were very generous, and at the same time, they could also improve the player's personal level in the Adventurer's Association.

The most important thing about becoming a four-star Guild was that all Adventurer's Associations on the God's Domain continent had a temporary guild rest area. This temporary rest area might not be large, but it had one advantage: it could receive commissions from the resident NPC towns for the guild, so guild members were no longer limited to one town and one city with a guild residence.

All guild members could spread out to various parts of the God's Domain continent to do quests, without having to compete for quests, which led to a shortage of upgrade resources. The only disadvantage was that the Adventurer's Association would take a portion of the commission, unlike the quests received in the guild residence, where the guild could get a considerable commission.

However, even so, it could bring more wealth to the guild and greatly improve its popularity on the God's Domain continent, killing two birds with one stone.

This was the characteristic of a four-star Guild: no longer limited to developing in one place.

Of course, the result was also obvious: the competition between guilds was no longer in one place, the opponents would become more and more numerous, and the competition would become more and more intense.

But as long as they became a four-star Guild first, they could gain a considerable advantage, which was why he risked killing the Fire Demon King.

Then, Shi Feng began to sort out the Fire Demon King's drops.

As Shi Feng had guessed, the dropped items did indeed include the Four-Star Guild Promotion Order. As long as the three-star Guild risked 200,000 Guild Fame, it could be promoted to a four-star Guild.

"The drops are really generous. As expected of a World-class Boss." Shi Feng counted the dropped items and clicked his tongue in amazement.

There were more than a hundred items dropped in total, most of which were various rare materials. Among these materials, there were also very rare Seven Luminaries Crystals. Although there were only three, which was ten units, the value of Seven Luminaries Crystals was much greater than other materials. They were usually not seen at all.

In addition, the dropped weapons and equipment were all Fine-Gold rank or higher, level 70 and above. Among them, there were four pieces of the level 70 Fine-Gold Set, Thunderflame Sin, a complete set of the level 70 Fine-Gold Set, Scorching Wind, and an Epic rank equipment, Scorching Flame Hand.

The dropped weapons and equipment seemed ordinary, but they made Shi Feng's eyes light up.

Because the level 70 Fine-Gold Set Thunderflame Sin was a superb set for magic classes. This was a superb set that only dropped from level 70 or higher Mythic rank monsters in the wild. There were six pieces in total, and it would take a lot of effort for Super Guilds to collect them all.

The same was true for the other set, Scorching Wind, but it was a plate armor set. Its fire resistance was not only higher than Dark蝕, but the six-piece set effect was also extremely heaven-defying. It could turn players into Gods of War, possessing a life level comparable to Ancient Species.

Players transforming into Ancient Species might not be as good as his avatar transforming into a Black Dragon, but in terms of control, players transforming directly was much easier. It could be said that players could fully exert the power of Ancient Species. The strength was unimaginable, but the weakness was also obvious, which was that the damage received from water and ice elements was doubled.

But even so, it was very powerful.

The same was true for the six-piece set for magic classes, Thunderflame Sin, which could transform them into Thunderflame Emissaries.

Because of these two set effects, which seemed to have ordinary attributes, they were recognized as the strongest sets at level 70, even better than level 70 Dark-Gold Sets.

He did not expect that he would collect the complete Scorching Wind set at once, and he had also collected four pieces of the Thunderflame Sin set. As long as he collected two more pieces, he would have a complete set.

It would be awesome to have the guild members equip these two sets.

As for the Epic rank cloth armor gauntlet, Scorching Flame Hand, it was also very good. It not only increased fire resistance, but also increased the completion of the player's magic skills by 2% and summoned a Lord rank Fire Spirit of the same level. It was a superb gauntlet for magic players who were not good at close combat.

Then, after sorting out the Fire Demon King's dropped items, Shi Feng took out the Sage's Hand from his backpack and checked it. He suppressed the peace in his heart and clicked to view the attributes.

Before, he had to deal with the Fire Demon King, so he had no time to check the fully restored Sage's Hand. Now that the Fire Demon King had been dealt with, he was naturally curious about what the Sage's Hand, which had disappeared in his previous life, looked like.
