Online game: Mistakenly became a female character, started by slaughtering millions of chickens.

Just as Karl raised his hand, Su Yu leaped high into the air.

"it's over."

Su Yu's voice was icy, and the purple katana in his hand drew a perfect full moon in the air.

boom--!

The blade fell.

Karl's massive body suddenly froze.

A line of blood ran from his forehead down to his abdomen.

The next second, a large amount of blood gushed out like a fountain.

"Darkness...will endure forever..."

Karl murmured unwillingly as his massive body collapsed with a crash, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Splash!

As the BOSS died, a large number of glowing items exploded from his corpse, covering the ground.

At the same time, an extremely dazzling golden light rose from beneath Su Yu's feet and shot straight into the sky!

[System notification: Congratulations on defeating Dark Overseer Karl (Lv.13)!]

Congratulations! Your level has increased to Lv.10!

"Finally... I've reached level 10."

Bathed in the upgraded golden light, Su Yu felt an unprecedented power surge through his entire body.

That was a qualitative leap.

He immediately opened the skill panel.

In the Berserker category, the previously gray icon has finally lit up with a blood-red glow.

Su Yu clicked the button.

[System: Congratulations on learning the active skill - Bloodthirsty Hand!]

Bloodthirsty Hand

[Description: Grabs an enemy in front, absorbing their blood essence, triggering a powerful eruption of blood energy.]

[Effect: Deals significant physical damage to enemies and increases the caster's strength. The caster is invincible during the skill's duration.]

[Note: This marks the beginning of the berserker's control over blood.]

"This is the true soul of a berserker."

Su Yu clenched his right hand, feeling the restless thirst for blood in his palm, and nodded in satisfaction.

With this invincible grabbing skill, the scope for future maneuvers will increase exponentially.

but.....

Su Yu took a deep breath, opened his backpack, and his gaze fell on the piece of equipment that had been lying in the corner for a long time, emitting an orange-red glow.

That was a powerful artifact he had obtained from a special reward pack, but he had been unable to equip it due to level restrictions.

Now, the restrictions have been lifted.

With a thought, Su Yu's level 5 purple katana vanished instantly.

Instead, there was a long, slender katana with an extremely stylish design and a bright red color throughout.

The hilt is engraved with a ferocious mechanical bull's head, and the blade looks as if it were forged from molten lava, with the roar of the minotaur faintly audible.

[Equipment: Minotaur King's Soul-Protecting Katana]

[Grade: Rare (Purple Equipment)]

[Requirement Level: Lv.10]

[Attributes: Attack Power +15, Strength +20, Critical Hit Rate +5%]

[Special Effect: During battle, there is a 10% chance to increase speed by 30% for 5 seconds. Cooldown: 7 seconds.]

[Description: One of the Minotaur Lord's signature weapons, imbued with ferocious soul power.]

"The feel, the weight..."

Su Yu casually waved his hand twice, leaving faint red afterimages in the air.

This sword's stats are way better than that level 5 purple weapon from before!

If Su Yu was a bulldozer just now, then he is now a meat grinder powered by nuclear energy.

Su Yu put away his new weapon, rubbed his hands together, and walked towards Karl's corpse with anticipation.

The BOSS was very generous, dropping a whole bunch of light orbs on the ground.

Su Yu picked them up one by one.

[Obtained: Dark Overseer's Whip (Lv.10 Blue Item/Long Whip)]

[Description: A special weapon; perhaps some players with unusual tastes will like it?]

[Received: 500 Gold Coins]

[Obtained: Dark Altar Core (Quest Item)]

"Five hundred gold coins, and a blue-grade item..."

It's a bit stingy, but it's better than nothing, and Su Yu is content.

After all, this whip could probably fetch a good price if sold to players who like to play pranks.

He picked up the last one, the [Dark Altar Core], which was emanating black energy.

Squeeze it hard.

Click!

The core shattered, turning into countless plumes of black smoke that dissipated.

The eerie red light around them dimmed, and the entire altar began to shake violently, as if it were about to collapse.

[System notification: You have destroyed the Corrupted Altar!]

[Hidden Quest "Prologue to the Night" Part 2: Purifying the Corrupted Altar - Completed!]

Please return to the slums, collect your reward from Hamu, and begin the next stage of the quest.

"That's a wrap." Su Yu patted the dust off his hands.

"..."

Entrance to the abandoned mine.

The entrance to the mine was in complete chaos.

"Nanny! Give me a little milk! I'm dying!"

"I can't take it! How can this thing deal so much damage!"

The Rose Knight who had mocked Su Yu earlier was now in a sorry state.

His once slicked-back hair was now a complete mess, and his fine armor was torn with several deep cracks.

His team is facing annihilation; someone has provoked a group of Lv.10 elite armored pangolins.

The result can be imagined.

The shield guards in the team had been knocked away and were lying on the ground, their fate unknown.

The female priest who was responsible for healing was already terrified, her mana bar completely empty.

"roar--!"

The elite pangolin roared, then rolled into a massive stone ball once more, and with destructive force, it crushed straight towards the Rose Knight.

"It's over..."

As the shadow of death drew ever closer, the Rose Knight closed his eyes in despair.

He was filled with regret: If he had known this place was so weird, he would never have come here to show off!

Snapped!

The next moment, a dull thud of flesh colliding rang out.

Immediately afterwards, the surrounding noise and exclamations stopped abruptly.

The Rose Knight opened his eyes shakily, and the next second, his pupils dilated.

He was standing less than a meter away.

The red-clad figure, whom he had previously mocked as a fragile, suicide target, was now standing there quietly.

That slender, fair right hand actually stretched out straight and pressed down on the head of the elite pangolin that was charging at high speed!

The behemoth, weighing hundreds of kilograms and too heavy for even the shield guards to bear, was now as if an invisible giant hand had grabbed its throat, forcibly lifting it into the air, its limbs flailing wildly but to no avail.

[Skill Activation: Bloodthirsty Hand!]

A savage red light flashed in Su Yu's bewitching peach blossom eyes.

"You're blocking the way." A soft whisper.

boom--!

A rich aura of blood erupted from Su Yu's palm.

The Lv.10 elite pangolin didn't even have time to scream before its body instantly swelled up, then exploded like a balloon being blown up, turning into a cloud of blood mist and bits of flesh!

Sold out instantly.

A true instant kill.

Su Yu raised an eyebrow; that's pretty good damage.

However, this is also because the health he lost after defeating the BOSS had not yet recovered, which is why the damage increased so much.

"..."

Dead silence.

At this moment, the entrance to the mine was deathly silent.

All the players remained in a pose with their mouths wide open, as if they had turned into stone sculptures.

"Holy crap...?"
