Chapter 749: Chapter 749: Devil Flame

Several months ago, Priestess Cecilia assigned the task of destroying the Book of Abyss to Song Jian. However, during the task, the Book of Abyss, which should have been an ordinary quest item without any attribute, unexpectedly transformed into a gold quality piece of equipment. This invoked a sense of greed in Song Jian, leading him to claim it as his own!

Although the Book of Abyss is only a gold quality item, its effect is no less than epic, even legendary level equipment;

Having the Book of Abyss is nearly the equivalent of an additional profession. As long as Song Jian is willing to expend combat experience, he can fully activate all of the skills on the Book of Abyss and become a true Abyssal Mage!

However, no matter what, this item should have been returned to Priestess Cecilia. Song Jian hadn’t returned it, and now, seeing Cecilia again, undoubtedly he feels a bit guilty.

“For this…task, haha, task, this task…” Song Jian stammered with an awkward smile trying to come up with an excuse!

“Was the task too hard to complete?” Cecilia asked with a smile.

“No, no, it’s been completed, haha, it’s been fulfilled!” Song Jian quickly waved his hand. In the task list, the step of getting the Book of Abyss was already marked as complete, leaving only the work of returning it to Priestess Cecilia;

Song Jian knows this, and undoubtedly, Cecilia, the task issuer, is even more aware!

“There was an accident with the task item!” Song Jian shook his head, looking into Cecilia’s eyes and failed to come up with any excuse to deceive her;

“Accident? What kind of accident?” Cecilia raised an eyebrow and asked.

Song Jian directly summoned the Book of Abyss from his body and handed it over to Cecilia;

At this point, the Book of Abyss had entirely bound his being, meaning even if he gave it to Cecilia, she wouldn’t able to use it;

System: You handed over the Book of Abyss to Cecilia, the task was completed, and you received fifty-three thousand Experience Points;

System: Your intimacy with Cecila has increased to reverence!

“Its nature has changed!” Cecilia caressed the cover of the Book of Abyss with a serious expression.

“Yes, I don’t know how it happened. It transformed suddenly, at that time…” Song Jian described the situation at the time.

“It’s Abyssal Demon Flame, I can’t believe you possess the advanced Abyssal Demon Flame…” Cecilia stared at Song Jian and said: “No human has ever been able to control the Abyssal Demon Flame and still maintain their sanity! God’s chosen, indeed, are people who are blessed by the gods …”

“So ….” Song Jian motioned towards the Book of Abyss in Cecilia’s hand. Since it had become a piece of equipment and had already bound itself to him, naturally, it should belong to him.

“Haha, congratulations, you are quite lucky to have obtained such a treasure!” Cecilia smiled and handed the Book of Abyss back to Song Jian.

“Thank you!” Song Jian breathed a sigh of relief. This has been weighing on his mind for so long and causing him much distress. Now, he can finally relax.

“In fact, this Book of Abyss is the ultimate treasure of the Abyss realm. It should have originally been a legendary quality equipment. No, it should not be called legendary quality. It should be called a Demi-God Artifact!” Cecilia said.

“What, a Demi-God Artifact?” Song Jian was stunned. How is this possible? Even if it has a complete professional skill tree, there’s still a significant gap between it and a Demi-God Artifact!

“Yes, this was originally a legendary quality item. Its previous master wanted to advance it to an artifact, but ultimately failed. However, it broke through the quality limit and became an item between the peak of legend and the artifact. Such an item, we usually call it a Demi-God Artifact!” explained Cecilia.

“But now it’s only a gold quality item…” Song Jian didn’t understand.

“That’s because, it has not been fully unsealed. Would you like to restore it to its former state, a Demi-God Artifact?” Cecilia smiled.

Song Jian knew, Cecilia wouldn’t just casually share this information with him without expecting something in return. Behind this was certainly some task he would need to accomplish. This was like bait on a trap. If he wanted to take the bait, he must prepare himself for the trap!

“Okay, I will do it, tell me how to restore it to a Demi-God Artifact!” Song Jian resigned.

A Demi-God Artifact, such a temptation is impossible for Song Jian to resist!

“Haha, it’s not an easy task to restore it to its original quality.” Cecilia laughed, like a fox that had stolen a chicken!

“I’m listening…” Song Jian shrugged.

“All you need to do is gather seven Abyssal Demon Flames, then fuse them together with it. It will then be unsealed back in its original form!” Cecilia said.

“Seven Abyssal Demon Flames?” Song Jian shook his head: “That sounds like something that’s not easy to accomplish!”

“Correct, in Abyssal Hell, there are eight Abyssal Demon Kings, each of them controlling a different Abyssal Demon Flame. Only by collecting all these Demon Flames, can a clear passage to the outer world be created…”

” Abyssal Hell loves to explore other planes of existence, conquer them, and merge them with Abyssal Hell. Now, our world has been discovered by Abyssal Hell, and Abyssal Hell is trying in various ways to permeate our world…”

“Some are worried about the invasion of Abyssal Hell, but others want to explore and tap into Abyssal Hell’s resources…”

Cecilia said with a serious face: “When you stare into the abyss, the abyss also stares back at you! When you try to harvest the resources in Abyssal Hell, Abyssal Hell is preparing to swallow you whole!”

“Hundreds of years ago, an Abyss Demon King from Abyssal Hell found a space-time rift and entered our world. But unexpectedly, he fell in this world. The Abyssal Demon Flame he wielded remained here!” Speaking of which, Cecilia turned her gaze onto Song Jian;

Song Jian was stunned for a moment, then pointed at himself!

“Correct, the Flame you previously acquired was that Demon Flame!” Cecilia nodded: “Without that Flame, Abyssal Hell would not be able to construct a large-scale invasion pathway. It can only rely on the some abyss rifts and infiltrate this world. If you want a complete Book of Abyss, you’ll need to acquire the Demon Flanes from the other seven Abyssal Demon Kings!”

“Haha, actually, the gold quality Book of Abyss is quite good, and I don’t really use it on a daily basis. This task, you should probably assign it to someone else, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to complete it.” Song Jian laughed, took the Book of the Abyss back into his body, turned around, and prepared to leave;

What a joke! The seven rulers of the Abyssal Hell, their powers probably have long exceeded level three combat power. To ask him, who just barely reached level one combat power, to obtain the Abyssal Demon Flames from these kings, isn’t that like asking him to commit suicide?
