Chapter 191: A Total Annihilation at the Start
After confirming that no new pop-up gift packs appeared, Chen You felt slightly disappointed.
"Ugh... this isn't working."
He began to look around.
The Supreme Pavilion remains the same Supreme Pavilion, simple and elegant, filled with a faint sandalwood fragrance.
NPC Hill remained standing not far away, a professional smile on his face.
Chen You opened his attribute panel and quickly glanced at it.
[Character: Chen You]

[Defense: 1223]
……
The data looks normal; there shouldn't have been any unauthorized changes.
He put away the control panel, walked up to Hill, and asked bluntly, "What exactly changed in this update?"
Hill bowed gracefully, her voice ethereal and melodious.
"Dear VIP member, the system will send you the most detailed explanation of the changes to the Origin Realm. Please check your inbox."
Chen You recalled that he had indeed seen a flashing email icon in the upper right corner when he logged in, but his attention was diverted by the two "gift packages".
He casually opened the email.
A system email from the Source Realm's official website lay there quietly.
【Dear Adventurer:】
To optimize your gaming experience, we have released a version update today. The update includes the following:
[1. Fixed some bugs that could cause abnormal game progress.]
[2. Resources related to the anniversary celebration have been added.]
[3. A new legendary set for all classes – the [King's Set] – has been added. Adventurers can obtain it by challenging the new raid dungeon, [Path of the King].]
[4. A new 25-player raid instance – [The King's Path]. All adventurers who have reached level 20 can teleport into the instance through the newly added NPC [The New King's Messenger] in major cities.]
[Instance Description: This is a trial path fraught with thorns and glory; only the strongest team can witness the birth of a new king.]
This dungeon features dynamic difficulty; the attributes of all monsters within the dungeon will be adjusted in real-time based on the level of the highest-level adventurer in the team.
【The Origin Realm Operations Team wishes you a pleasant gaming experience!】
The email was short, but contained a wealth of information.
Did they fix a bug? They didn't specify what the bug was.
Anniversary event? Feels like another opportunity to spend money is coming!
The Monarch Set? Sounds pretty impressive, judging from the name.
25-player raid...
Dynamic difficulty...
Chen You's eyes narrowed slightly.
This was undoubtedly fantastic news for him!
Dynamic difficulty means that he doesn't have to face monsters that may be far higher level than himself!
At his current level, he is practically invincible!
"Not bad, very thoughtful." Chen You silently gave Origin Realm a thumbs up in his heart.
However, he still decided to act according to Li Guoan's arrangements.
Safety is always the top priority.
The main body should never take risks before the clone skill is off cooldown.
Let's just wait until we reach the Golden Core stage!
Chen You did not immediately begin his seclusion, but instead returned to the guild territory first.
I learned the blueprint for that one-time use arrow tower, and then bought several thousand gold coins worth of materials.
Scroll directly to 999 and start production.
After finishing all that, he finally entered the training room, completely satisfied.
……
Meanwhile, in the city of eternal night.
The atmosphere was solemn in the huge council hall of the Moon Goddess's Radiance Guild headquarters.
Guild leader Moon Arrow and a group of core guild leaders were intently watching a huge magical image floating in the center of the council hall.
The video shows the scene inside the [Road to the King] instance.
Twenty-five elite players from Moon Goddess's Radiance, clad in top-tier equipment, formed the most advanced exploration team in the Origin Realm, standing inside a magnificent and breathtaking ancient hall.
The hall was built of unknown black boulders, with towering stone pillars reaching into the sky. Ancient runes, incomprehensible to mortals, were engraved on its surface, emanating a faint, oppressive light.
An ancient, deathly stillness permeated the air, as if time itself had frozen here.
The team commander, who was also the guild's chief berserker, "Lone Wolf Under the Moon," gave a low shout in the team channel.
"One last check of equipment, potions, and skill cooldowns! Everyone, concentrate!"
"This is not only our first kill, but also a matter of honor for our Luna's Radiance!"
"Ready!"
"OK!"
"GOGOGO!"
Within the channel, twenty-four unified responses rang out.
Moonlight Lone Wolf took a deep breath and sent a message in the guild management channel.
【Lone Wolf Under the Moon】: Guild Leader, Elite Group One is ready.
Inside the council chamber, Moon Arrow stared at the grim atmosphere in the video, his eyes sharp as an eagle's.
Inside the hall, two armored guards, each over ten meters tall, stood silently.
She didn't reply immediately, but instead turned her head to look at Moonfall beside her.
"Any new information from Titan?"
Moonfall Base's expression was solemn. "Their raiding team has entered the instance, but we don't know how they are progressing yet."
Moon Arrow nodded and sent two words in the guild management channel.
"start."
……
Inside the instance, the lone wolf under the moon, having received his orders, sharpened his gaze.
"MT, engage! Everyone, proceed as planned!"
"roar!"
The defensive warrior named Moon Iron roared and was the first to step into the center of the magnificent hall.
The moment he stepped in.
"Boom—"
Deep within the hall, two statue-like guards suddenly gleamed with a scarlet light in their eyes.
They moved!
The heavy footsteps made the entire hall tremble with each one.
[Royal Guard (Elite) LV90]
"Healers, keep an eye on the main tank's health! DPS, focus fire on the one on the left!"
The voice of the lone wolf under the moon echoed within the hall.
Yue Tou Tie taunted the guard on the right, then charged directly at the guard on the left.
The King's Guard moved clumsily; it didn't even use its weapons, but simply raised its massive stone fist.
It slammed down on the iron shield at the moon's head, without any particular incident.
The next second, everyone in Luna's Radiance, including Luna's Arrow in the council hall, was stunned.
There were no flashy special effects, no earth-shattering spectacle.
There was only one extremely dull impact sound.
"Bang!"
In the video, the team's main tank, Moonbeam Iron, along with his tower shield that shone with epic glory, looked like an egg struck head-on by a battering ram.
The tower shield was instantly covered in cracks, and then with a "crash," it shattered into countless points of light.
His full health bar was wiped out in an instant, as if by an invisible hand.
[-589564! (Fatal Blow!)]
A bright red number floated up from above the head of the moon iron.
He didn't even have time to let out a scream before his tall body fell straight backward.
Sold out instantly!
The chief tank of Moon Goddess's Radiance was instantly killed by a regular elite monster in this dungeon with a single punch!
The entire team fell silent for a moment.
"Holy crap?" The chief mage's exclamation broke the silence.
"Don't panic!"
The lone wolf under the moon roared hastily.
"Quick! Off-tank, move up! Don't let it get close..."
Before the howl of the lone wolf under the moon had ended, the king's guard, after instantly killing Iron Wall with a single punch, swept his crimson gaze across the crowd and locked onto the healing team that was casting a spell.
It suddenly opened its mouth wide.
It wasn't a roar, it wasn't a breath.
An invisible yet visible ripple spread out instantly.
[Group Silence]
Immediately afterwards, another royal guard moved. It raised its spear high and hurled it at the densest part of the crowd!
"call out--"
The spear sliced through the air, creating a sharp whistling sound.
boom!!!
A violent explosion erupted in the center of the team, and the shockwave swept across the entire area.
-135478!
-136222!
-135980!
……
A series of damage numbers appeared above the heads of more than a dozen players, as if they were scrolling across the screen.
Everything happened quickly and suddenly.
Before the silence was over, the two guards each hit twice, and the off-tank also fell.
Without tanks, no one can withstand the guards' attacks.
It's almost like one punch is enough to kill a kid.
Less than ten seconds.
Of the 25-person elite team, only half are still struggling.
Inside the council chamber, Moon Arrow, standing before the magical image, looked extremely pale.
She watched as the two demon-like royal guards on the screen slowly rolled over the last few survivors.
In the end, no one was able to stand anymore.
The entire team was wiped out.
They didn't even get to see the BOSS before they fell at the feet of the gatekeeper monsters.
