Chapter 32 - You're Telling Me This Is a Maid?
New Event: Global Dungeons Daily Releases
'Roar!'
The dragon's roar shook the heavens. Its massive body passed through the dense dark clouds, constantly weaving through the sea of myriad lightning.
"Elder Li is worthy of being a Demigod-level player. This move... Tsk tsk!"
"With him leading, our world dungeon raid this time is absolutely stable."
"Nonsense. If it weren't for a Demigod-level player leading this team, I wouldn't have spent so much money to get a precious spot for this dungeon."
"Sigh! You guys don't know how strict the selection for this world dungeon was. Even a 67-level player like me, with an A-Rank quality class, had to spend a lot of money to get in."
"That's a given. Aside from those internally designated high-level players, who wasn’t like that?"
A large number of intermediate players around Level 60 all spent a lot of money to enter the dungeon.
They sat cross-legged on the Azure Dragon while chatting nonstop.
They had all heard that Li Changkong was leading the expedition on this world-class dungeon.
That was why they broke their heads trying to squeeze in.
It should be known that the rewards of a world-class dungeon were extremely generous.
As long as one participated, every clearer had a 50% probability of obtaining a Legend-grade material or equipment.
This was something second only to God-grade.
A one-in-two chance of becoming rich overnight!
Who wouldn't be tempted?
The reason the Six Saint Sanctuaries released these spots to the public, besides gathering cannon fodder quickly, was also a way to make a quick buck on the side.
After all, world-class dungeons had no limit on the number of participants.
But the First Kill reward for the dungeon was only one!
For the sake of competition, among the major forces, whoever could gather troops in the shortest time would naturally have more of an advantage.
"Quiet! We’re almost there."
A high-level player wearing a purple Daoist robe sternly interrupted the "cannon fodder's" idle chat.
Only then did everyone react. Looking at the gradually approaching God-Demon Hall, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
Too shocking!
The scale of this God-Demon Hall was far larger than what they had imagined.
The walls were layered with ancient bronze and purple-black marble, faintly glowing with demonic light.
Standing majestically high in the sky.
In front of this magnificent building, the Azure Dragon was as tiny as an earthworm.
"This is a world-class dungeon? It's too shocking. If it were converted into a scenic spot, it would definitely earn a huge sum!"
World-class dungeons were extremely rare. Discovering two in a year was already considered quite good.
As long as the major forces discovered one, they would break their heads fighting for it.
Ordinary people couldn't even get a glimpse of one.
"Descend!"
With Li Changkong's command…
The Azure Dragon twisted its massive body and slowly descended onto an open platform of the God-Demon Hall.
One hundred and eighty-nine massive stone pillars stood on the platform.
They were arranged in a neat and uniform manner, extending all the way to the palace gate.
On the stone pillars were carved lifelike creatures, each with a different form.
But they all showed pain, terror, roaring, and other negative states.
As if...
They were unwilling to die in battle, and they were branded onto the pillars with such expressions.
"The dungeon’s behind this door. Everyone, restore your status and use all the buff potions you can drink."
Arriving in front of the towering ancient bronze door, Li Changkong immediately ordered the people behind him.
At the same time, he also chugged five or six bottles of high-quality buff potions.
According to the report from the players who came to investigate with the Saintess before…
After opening the ancient bronze door, one would directly encounter a BOSS battle.
That BOSS was a humanoid creature. In just one exchange, it annihilated the dozen or so people at the time.
Only the Saintess was captured alive.
"At that time, because it was an investigation, there were no high-level players present, but to be able to instantly kill more than a dozen intermediate-level players in one exchange…
It shows that the strength of this BOSS is at least Demigod-level.
A pity the Saintess was never willing to disclose more information. Otherwise, this might have been easier."
Li Changkong scanned the bronze door that soared into the clouds and frowned as he judged the strength of the dungeon BOSS.
Creak!
However...
At this moment…
The bronze door that Li Changkong was watching actually began to move slowly.
And then it gradually opened to the inside.
'The door opened?'
'But I didn't actively trigger it?'
"Everyone... form up and prepare for battle!"
Li Changkong reacted quickly, gave an order, and remained vigilant.
After receiving the command, everyone, like a well-trained army, quickly took their positions and formed up.
More than twenty high-level players of the "Tank" path lined up in front in two rows.
They held up their large shields, blocking at the very front of all the players.
Behind them stood four rows of high-damage "Mage" and "Control" type players.
Warriors and Assassins were on standby on the left and right sides, respectively.
And the last row, as logistics, were all Support-type players.
All 98 players were on high alert, their gazes as if hooked as they stared intently at the bronze door in front.
Tap~ tap tap~
Crisp footsteps sounded rhythmically from within the bronze door.
As the footsteps got closer…
Everyone's heartbeats gradually accelerated, and even their breathing became tense. They dared not be the slightest bit negligent.
Some people were even already imagining in their minds…
…What kind of massive and hideous BOSS would appear from inside?
"Aiyaya~ What a grand formation. I'm getting a little excited just looking at it."
Then, a soft and charming voice sounded out.
A graceful figure slowly walked out of the darkness, appearing in everyone's view with a smile.
"A... A maid?"
All the players present looked astonished.
They originally thought some terrifying dungeon BOSS would appear from within the door, but they didn't expect...
… That a maid would appear.
And a maid with an excellent figure and appearance at that.
Except for the black goat horns on her head and the long, slender peach-shaped tail behind her…
She looked no different from a human.
Or was this a new type of Demi-human?
This world didn't have the concept of a succubus, so Lilith could only be defined as a Demi-human in their minds.
"Allow me to introduce myself to everyone. I’m Lilith, the head maid of the Demon God Hall and one of the temple administrators."
Lilith elegantly held her skirt and curtsied to everyone.
Saying that, she slowly raised her head and subconsciously licked her red lips, a bewitching smile appearing at the corners of her mouth.
"By the command of the King of Gods, the great World-Destroying Demon God, I have been tasked with specially entertaining everyone. Don't worry, I’ll use the simplest and most brutal way to do so.
To crush all of you ugly, lowly worms to death!"
Lilith smiled eerily.
Using the most polite tone to speak the most rude words.
"King of Gods? Such big words!"
Li Changkong sneered, his eyes gradually narrowing.
He was an elder of the Heavenly Dao Alliance. As such, he worshiped the "Boundless Immortal Venerable" among the Six Great Gods.
In his eyes, only the "Boundless Immortal Venerable" was qualified to be called the God King!
Now, a mere dungeon BOSS dared to call itself the God King?
"Truly a group of ignorant worms."
Lilith shook her head helplessly as if in mockery, then she pointed to the stone pillar not far away as if showing off.
"See the creatures on these stone pillars? They all once claimed to be gods of other worlds.
But they were all easily killed and devoured by My Lord, taken as trophies, and their souls were branded on these stone pillars."
Speaking of this, Lilith suddenly looked at Li Changkong and taunted him playfully.
"Of course, a worm like you doesn't even have the qualification to be displayed..."
"Noisy!"
Li Changkong lightly waved the horsetail whisk in his hand.
A swift bolt of lightning descended from the sky, striking down violently!
Directly hitting Lilith's head.
Rumble!
A huge thunderous roar rang out, and the terrifying explosion kicked up a sky full of smoke and sand.
The void shook, and the entire platform trembled violently.
"A mere elite monster actually thinking of herself..."
"Gegege~ You really are impatient."
Before Li Changkong finished his words, a delicate fragrance came from behind him.
Immediately after, Lilith's soft and charming voice sounded in his ears.
'Damn it! When did she?'
Li Changkong's pupils constricted slightly, and he subconsciously turned his head quickly.
He was astonished to find that Lilith had appeared behind him at some unknown time.
"Ugh, ahhh!"
At the same time, a miserable scream rang out.
A Level 70 Mage had his head crushed by her directly!
Blood sprayed!
Splattering on the faces of everyone around on the spot.
"Truly... a long-lost delicacy."
Lilith licked the blood on her hand elegantly.
The corners of her mouth were raised slightly, revealing a sick, crazy, satisfied smile.

Well, they are absolutely fucked. Though I now wonder how they classified the Demon God’s dungeon as merely “World Class”. From the sounds of it, they have seen such dungeons before, so I wonder if this is the highest rank available, so the MC’s dungeon got lumped into the rank? If so, then the Sanctuaries got massively fucked by the system.
