Chapter 143: Dark Scorpion King

After passing through the Atonement Mountains, they arrived at an abandoned city.

This area was known as Desolate City and as its name suggested, it was completely abandoned. The area around it was an endless desert that spanned as far as the eye could see. This city was one of the locations where the dark forces had garrisoned but it was necessary to bypass it to reach the frontlines.

After entering the city itself, the players still didn't let their guards down. They were all constantly on the lookout for any more Dark Assassins.

Although it was just dying, the main reason everyone was so resistant was that they would have to restart the entire quest from scratch! To even accept the job advancement quest, they had to first spend money. All the players suspected that this was a ploy by the game designers.
