Online Game: Starting with an SSS-Level Plundering Talent - Chapter 184

Chapter 184: Chapter 184: The Law of Light, The God of Light Descends
“It turns out to be you, my lord!” Amy exclaimed, her eyes wide with envy. Being recognized by Elsa so early showed just how high John’s talents must be.

John didn’t want to linger, quickly saying, “I’m in a hurry to report back to Lady Elsa, so I’ll take my leave now.”

With that, he hurried away.

As he left, Amy couldn’t help but sigh, “If only I could win him over…”

He navigated the familiar path and soon arrived at the grand hall without any obstruction.

Clearly, Elsa had given prior notice.

The doors slowly opened, and John stepped inside before they closed behind him.

“Master!” Elsa greeted him with enthusiasm, leaping into his arms and wrapping herself around him.

“Alright, let’s get down to business.” Unable to resist her charms, John playfully pinched her shapely backside.

Elsa blushed and reluctantly let go, saying, “Master, I’ve looked into it. The Azure Family isn’t in the City of Angels.”

John frowned slightly; it seemed the Azure Family had directly allied with the gods and had nothing to do with the Angel Race.

Eliminating the Azure Family would be more complicated than he thought.

Elsa continued, “I’ve dealt with that Kent without anyone knowing. I’ve set everything up for the Secret Area, but I need you to help my people break the Divine Path Technique they’re under.”

“No problem.” John nodded, agreeing to the plan. “Let’s head to the Secret Area!”

He was eager to increase his power and break the Temple’s seal.

…

Buzz!

A wave of spatial power rippled as Elsa led John into the Secret Area.

“My lord!” There were over a hundred angels here, all bowing respectfully.

These were Elsa’s loyal followers, mostly eight-tier four-winged angels, with more than thirty nine-tier six-winged angels among them.

Elsa nodded and said, “First, let’s解除 your Divine Path Technique.”

The angels lined up, casting curious glances at John but asking no questions.

This operation was aimed at eliminating the God of Light’s faction within the Angel Race. To prevent any mishaps, Elsa decided to remove the Divine Path Technique first to avoid being controlled by the God of Light.

John’s mastery of the Divine Path Technique and his Divinity levels far surpassed those of these angels, allowing him to easily解除 their Divine Path Technique.

Soon, the Divine Path Technique was lifted from all 177 angels, and relief washed over their faces as they finally freed themselves from the God of Light’s influence.

As for himself, having refined the Immortals’ treasure, the God of Light couldn’t control him through the Divine Path Technique.

Elsa turned to John and said, “Master, we can’t act directly. If you encounter anyone you can’t handle, we will intervene. Remember to use soul attacks to eliminate them completely.”

“Don’t worry, I know what to do.” John nodded. With the high-grade artifact Divine Binding Rope, he could easily take down even a nine-tier six-winged angel.

Elsa announced the emergence of a powerful artifact, and many angels entered the Secret Area to explore. Besides the hundred or so angels by her side, John could easily take down the rest.

Before long, John encountered a small team of angels—four in total—all eight-tier four-winged angels, strong and formidable.

Buzz!

The air vibrated as he launched a soul attack, instantly annihilating two of the angels.

[Killed a legendary four-winged angel, gained 563 million experience points]

[Plunder talent activated, Divinity +2, Luck +1, Light Elemental Affinity +1]

…

Light Elemental Affinity?

The notification flashed, and John was pleasantly surprised.

His soul attack completely obliterated the angels, and in addition to Plunder Divinity and Luck attributes, he had also gained 1 point of Light Elemental Affinity.

Did this mean he had the potential to comprehend the Law of Light?

John was filled with anticipation.

Compared to hunting six-tier epic Abyss demons in the Abyss, there were far more angels here.

Moreover, all of them were above seven-tier legendary beings.

Not only that, but with the tenfold experience boost, he had earned over five hundred million experience points.

“What are you?” came a furious shout. Although the two four-winged angels hadn’t been killed by the Soul Impact, they were heavily injured and glared at John.

These two had soul cultivation techniques, but they weren’t particularly strong.

John couldn’t be bothered with conversation and unleashed Soul Impact once more.

He didn’t even need to use the Divine Binding Rope against these two.

They groaned, blood trickling from the corners of their mouths, their eyes losing their luster as they slowly fell to the ground, dropping a few items.

Soul Impact completely obliterated them, resulting in item drops.

John gained a substantial amount of experience points again and Plundered 4 points of Divinity, 100 skill points, and 2 points of Light Elemental Affinity.

“An artifact!” he exclaimed, captivated by the four pieces of equipment that had dropped, all of which were artifacts.

With the Plunder talent increasing drop quality by +1, all seven-tier dual-winged and above angels were guaranteed to drop artifacts.

John was thrilled; if all went well, he could amass a large collection of artifacts here.

He quickly examined the drops, but none of the four artifacts suited him, so he stored them away and continued his hunt for angels.

At this rate, he would reach seven-tier status in less than a month.

…

John continued to roam the Secret Area, slaying a significant number of monsters and angels along the way.

A month had passed without him noticing. His Divinity had surpassed seven thousand points, and during this time, he had killed over two thousand angels, mostly eight-tier four-winged angels, along with quite a few nine-tier six-winged angels.

Of course, the most significant gain was his comprehension of the Law of Light, which had reached an astonishing 20%, surpassing that of the Law of Darkness.

Comprehending the Law of Light rendered him immune to light magic damage, and his light damage increased by 100%, giving his power a significant boost.

In addition, he Plundered two light-related skills: Light Sword Slash and Holy Light Exorcism Bolt, both upgraded to advanced magic skills.

At this point, his level had risen to 999, with a required experience of 50.4 billion to level up.

He needed just 1.13 billion more experience points to reach level 1000 and trigger the seventh class advancement quest.

As he continued to roam the Secret Area, he found fewer and fewer angels; nearly all of them had been wiped out by him.

Reluctantly, he turned to hunting monsters to gain experience.

However, this method was much less efficient.

Whoosh…

Suddenly, a figure shot toward him—it was a nine-tier six-winged angel, exuding an aura that rivaled Elsa’s.

John’s eyes lit up as he recognized her; she must be Hannah.

Hannah was one of the strongest angels directly under the God of Light, also at nine-tier, and had comprehended the Law of Light, making her second only to Elsa—her level had yet to reach 1000.

If he could take her down, he would surpass level 1000 and meet the conditions for class advancement.

“Human!” Hannah glared at John with a cold expression, then her eyes widened in realization. “You’re the Godslayer! How did you enter the Secret Area?”

“You don’t need to know,” John replied dismissively, activating the Divine Binding Rope and channeling all 13 points of spirit power from the Spirit Stone.

“Divine Binding Rope!” Hannah’s expression changed slightly as Holy Light flickered around her, allowing her to swiftly evade the rope’s grasp.

Her eyes locked onto John, seething, “Where did you get Elsa’s artifact?”

John didn’t respond, focusing intently as this was the first time the Divine Binding Rope had failed. He continued to manipulate it to attack.

“Hmph, useless!” Hannah scoffed, summoning two light swords that glimmered fiercely, effortlessly repelling the ropes before charging at John.

Whoosh!

Just then, another flash of Holy Light appeared—Elsa had arrived.

“Master, this one is powerful. I’ll handle her,” she said, raising her hand. The Divine Binding Rope grew longer, wrapping around Hannah like a celestial river.

“Elsa!” Hannah’s expression shifted, glaring at her. “You dare betray the God of Light and side with this human!”

Ignoring Hannah, Elsa turned to John and said urgently, “This one seems to possess an artifact as well. I can’t control her for long!”

“Leave it to me!” John declared, activating Soul Impact.

Buzz!

The air trembled slightly as a wave of powerful soul energy surged into Hannah’s mind.

Boom!

Suddenly, a loud rumble echoed deep within John’s soul, causing his head to spin and blood to pour from his orifices.

It was a soul backlash!

“Master!” Elsa exclaimed, startled, as she rushed to support him.

“I’m fine!” John managed to say, swallowing a mouthful of blood as he shook his still-dizzy head. Luckily, the Jade Heart Lotus was protecting him; otherwise, he would surely have been doomed.

Elsa sighed in relief but turned her gaze to Hannah, her brow furrowed in confusion. “That’s impossible. I haven’t heard of this one having any soul cultivation methods.”

“No!” John shook his head, realizing something crucial. “There’s another powerful soul force within her. That’s what injured me.”

“Wait!” He suddenly snapped to attention, looking at Elsa and the others. “It’s the God of Light. Don’t resist!”

With that, he intended to pull Elsa and the others into the Death Land.

Buzz!

Spatial power trembled, but they remained rooted in place.

“Haha! Now you want to leave? It’s too late!” Hannah laughed maniacally, breaking free from the Divine Binding Rope. She looked to the skies and shouted, “God of Light, Elsa has betrayed you!”

Thunder rumbled…

Dark clouds swirled, and an immense pressure enveloped the entire Secret Area.

John’s expression turned to one of horror as he felt immobilized; this presence was stronger than any divine avatar he had encountered before!

He was filled with frustration—he was so close to reaching level 1000. If he had known, he would have escaped sooner.

Whoosh…

The clouds churned, lightning flashed, and an angelic figure appeared, boasting a staggering twelve pairs of wings!

The God of Light, a mid-tier god!

“The Immortals!” The figure sensed the Immortal aura emanating from John, a flicker of fear crossing its eyes before being replaced by overwhelming fury.

“That’s impossible, human! Die!” it roared in rage, summoning Holy Light accompanied by a powerful soul attack that rushed toward John.

But John no longer bore the initial terror; the Sword of Divinity and Demons and the Three-Foot Black Dragon Sword floated up, positioning themselves before him.

He wasn’t controlling them.

He looked up, bewildered, as the familiar figure of a woman in green reappeared before him!
