[The number of enemies is way too exaggerated!]
[My trypophobia is about to act up.]
[Just looking at it makes my scalp tingle.]
[Looking at our side with just a few little figures, and the enemy side is a dense black mass—suddenly my heart feels like it's going to stop.]
[This mission not only gives us Primogems, but from a game's perspective, it also shows us the scene of Natlan warriors facing Abyss monsters.]
[Really, the enemy numbers are dozens of times ours, and they're especially hard to kill. If it were me, I might just run away—I really don't want to fight those people.]
[Honestly, even if it's not blood-dripping dogs, just dozens of dogs charging over would be scary, let alone those Abyss monsters that can actually kill people.]
[No wonder the Pyro Archon had to discipline the person who insulted Kaiulani in front of everyone earlier. Kaiulani has fought Abyss monsters before too—how could someone who can battle such a massive number of monsters be weak?]
[I'd say the Pyro Archon should burn them with fire again after beating them, to shut their mouths that talk so much.]
"The number of monsters is way too many, isn't it?" Seeing the same arena with such a massive number of monsters, Paimon was so surprised her mouth couldn't close.
Such a huge number—even a group of Hilichurls would be scary enough, let alone the even more powerful Abyss monsters.
"Actually, in the war 500 years ago, the number of Abyss monsters was even more terrifying." Mavuika, who had personally experienced the war 500 years ago, said with a serious expression.
"Even more than this?" Paimon's brows furrowed slightly, her gaze toward Mavuika carrying a bit more worry.
She was already a little scared just seeing this many monsters.
Yet Mavuika and the Natlan people back then had to fight an even larger number of monsters—how despairing that must have been.
"Besides that, the monsters can continuously pour out through the Abyss portals."
Rios placed special pieces on the chessboard and looked at the blonde girl in front of him: "During your match with Mavuika, if you can't destroy the Abyss portal, Mavuika can continuously summon monsters through the Abyss portal."
"Are Abyss portals hard to destroy?" Lumine looked thoughtfully at the special piece on the chessboard.
What she was playing now wasn't just a game—it was also the kind of situation she might encounter in Natlan next.
"Destroying an Abyss portal requires Elemental Power." Rios said with a smile, "With your strength, destroying an Abyss portal isn't very difficult."
"So, during the battle with the monsters, we must arrange for someone with a Vision to specifically go destroy the Abyss portal?" Lumine slightly raised her brow, pondering the chessboard.
If that's the case, then a high-level combatant must be specifically assigned to deal with the Abyss portal.
And to protect the Vision holder from being delayed by Abyss monsters along the way, a few people must be sent to protect them.
Lumine's mind turned quickly, and in no time, she had determined the battle strategy.
But just then, Mavuika's voice came: "Traveler, it looks like you've already figured out who to use to destroy the Abyss portal."
Hearing this, Lumine was slightly stunned, lifted her head to look over, and found the red-haired woman smiling at her.
Mavuika crossed her arms and smiled: "I'm not going to let you destroy the Abyss portal that easily."
This game wasn't just beating AI—it was competing against Mavuika, and the difficulty was much higher than before.
But Lumine was very confident in her own strength, so she slightly curled her lips and smiled back: "Then we'll have to see after trying."
In the following time, Lumine tried several times to destroy the Abyss portal, but each time Mavuika preemptively blocked her with Abyss monsters. Every time it reached the late stage, the Natlan people lost because they couldn't handle the endlessly appearing Abyss monsters.
Even the Traveler was like this, so naturally, the players weren't any better.
[This is way too hard, isn't it?]
[Wasn't it supposed to be an event mission that you could pass just by using a little brainpower?]
[This Mavuika is too strong—every time she guesses my intentions right, then places Abyss monsters on my path in advance, and even scatters my team.]
[Now it's really the Pyro Archon colluding with the Abyss.]
[No, this is just an event mission—does the AI really need to be tuned this hard?]
[This is probably to show off Mavuika's superior intelligence.]
[And to show how difficult it was for Natlan people to fight Abyss monsters.]
[Not only facing a huge number of monsters, but the enemy can also continuously generate new ones.]
[Expressing character settings and story background through an event game—pretty innovative.]
[No matter how innovative, you can't make players unable to claim full rewards.]
[If it's really so hard that most people can't claim full rewards, the planner who designed this event is definitely going to get flamed.]
[Why rush? As long as Mommy Reya clears it, she'll definitely release a guide to teach us.]
[Mommy, he...]
[This 'he' is used very spiritually.]
[It seems spiritual, but actually it's just telling the truth.]
After realizing that the guide streamers would definitely provide foolproof clearing methods later, most players' moods calmed down.
This final Primogem reward was definitely claimable—it was just a matter of early or late.
However, some players still wanted to keep grinding.
Like Mu Yang, for example.
"Pass, pass, pass—this time it will definitely pass!"
Mu Yang had already failed several times in a row.
This time, he had prepared a draft in advance, calculating every step precisely before restarting the game.
The early stage went smoothly, but when approaching the Abyss portal, he suddenly found himself surrounded by Abyss monsters.
He had originally gathered all characters together to destroy the Abyss portal.
But unexpectedly, before he knew it, the monsters had surrounded him like dumplings, and all characters were wiped out in a short time.
"This is way too hard."
Mu Yang immediately collapsed and shouted.
He had thought victory was in his grasp and the situation was great, but then he got team-wiped by the opponent.
It hurts.
This hurts too much.
Mu Yang clutched his chest, feeling like his heart was really in pain.
[Mu Yang, just wait for the guide streamers to clear it before playing.]
[Is there a possibility that Mu Yang is a guide streamer?]
[Impossible, absolutely impossible.]
After seeing the barrage from his fans, Mu Yang's eyes widened in anger.
You don't believe me, huh?
Watch me clear it with billions of lives!
Just as Mu Yang wanted to try again, the screen in front of him suddenly went black, and then it entered the plot animation.
"Cleared?"
"No need to fight anymore?"
This was Mu Yang's first reaction.
Could it be that this game is like giving him love^5—fail enough times, and you can skip this selection directly?
