Armipotent
chapter-1625

Herman expected Tang Shaoyang to choose the Hell Difficulty. That was why he proposed first for Advance Difficulty so they could meet in the middle. He was not going to take the risk by choosing the highest difficulty. There might be a chance that they would meet a God Rank in the Hell difficulty.

"That's too risky for us, Sir Tang Shaoyang. Let's do it at Advanced Difficulty."

Tang Shaoyang just shrugged at him, "Up to you, this is your dungeon. However, this might be the only chance for you to try the Hell difficulty with me. As for me, I can try the Hell Difficulty with The Africa Nation. The Demi-God Dungeon spawned in their territory, and they requested assistance from us as well."

Herman thought of persuading Tang Shaoyang, but Tang Shaoyang got him now. That was the truth, if he wanted to try the Hell Difficulty, he should do it now while Tang Shaoyang was with them. It became more tempting because Tang Shaoyang did not take the reward: higher risk, higher reward.

"If we take the Hell Difficulty, will you take the Hell Difficulty as well with The Africa Nation?"

Tang Shaoyang shook his head, "I am coming to help, but also my priority is to gather data for the Demi-God Dungeon. I will try the Extreme Difficulty with The Africa Nation if we take the Hell Difficulty here."

He did not take the Moderate and advanced difficulty seriously. He felt like his people would be strong enough to clear those two difficulties. So his job was to make sure that the Extreme and Hell were safe for them by trying them.

Now he was totally persuaded by Tang Shaoyang. His heart was inclined more to try the Hell Difficulty. He did not know when another Demi-God Dungeon would spawn in his territory. This might be his only chance to try the Hell Difficulty. If he tried the Hell Difficulty, he might have a rough estimation for the Extreme difficulty.

"Can you share with us as well if you ever try the Extreme Difficulty with the Africa Nation?" Herman tried to get as much as possible from Tang Shaoyang even though he had decided to take the Hell difficulty.

"Only if you are willing to share the Hell difficulty with them as well. I have to be fair!" That was Tang Shaoyang's answer.

He did not mind helping them so they could survive in the dungeon. In order to trigger the System's event which might provide a big resource. Earth must have at least ten active factions. So yeah, he did not want to lose these two factions from the dungeon break.

Deep inside, Herman did not want to share the information with The Africa Nation. But with how rare the Demi-God dungeon was for now, he did not know when he could try the Extreme difficulty next time. Frans nodded at him, agreeing with Tang Shaoyang's way of sharing information.

"Alright. You can tell them about the Hell difficulty. We will take the Hell difficulty!"

Herman turned toward the display in front of him. There was hesitation, but he still chose to take the Hell difficulty. This was a big gamble because they might face a God Rank monster here. Right after he chose it, he realized something. He forgot to ask Tang Shaoyang's actual rank. They might face a God Rank, if Tang Shaoyang was still a Demi-God Rank then they were doomed.

His eyes widened in shock as he turned toward Tang Shaoyang. Before he could say anything, they were teleported into a tent. A big tent for twenty people, all of them were teleported in the same tent. Then his head was flooded with information, information for their background, and also the quest for the seventh floor.

Similar to the second floor, but bigger in scale. They were not mercenaries, but they were soldiers of a small kingdom. When he mentioned a small kingdom, it was so small that the kingdom only had three cities and maybe around eleven villages.

The small kingdom part did not bother him, what bothered him was the story of how the kingdom became this small. The Kingdom of Ariot was a big kingdom, but that was in the past, and the reason the kingdom became so small was because The Kingdom of Ariot was bordered by three big kingdoms directly.

That was right, three neighbors worked together and attacked The Kingdom Ariot. Their big territory was reduced to just three cities and eleven villages, getting cornered to the south of the continent. With all the resentment The Kingdom of Ariot's royalty harbored, they refused when the three kingdoms offered them to join one of them.

Now, The Kingdom of Ariot had become insignificant in the eyes of the three kingdoms. The three kingdoms that worked together to attack the Kingdom of Ariot were currently waging war on each other. The three-way war and the previous Kingdom of Ariot's territories became a battlefield for the three kingdoms. Sometimes, in order to suppress The Kingdom of Ariot, the two kingdoms from the east and west which were still directly bordered by them would send their army to ensure the Kingdom of Ariot could never make a comeback.

Of course, not just the royalty that harbored hatred for the three kingdoms, but their people. The people of Ariot lost their parents, killed by them. Their daughters and wives were kidnapped. The villages were looted by the soldiers from the two kingdoms from the east and west. Despite harboring a deep hatred, The Kingdom of Ariot could not make a comeback with minimal resources. Their lands were barren, and if not for the sea to the south, they might not be able to survive until now.

The Kingdom of Ariot was now caught by the war between the three kingdoms. They have never regained their former glory since then. Herman and Tang Shaoyang were now part of the Kingdom of Ariot's soldiers.

The worst part was that this kingdom had no hope. When Tang Shaoyang got clear information about the kingdom. He thought the Hell difficulty quest would be to help the kingdom regain its former glory or even destroy the three kingdoms. But the quest was for them to kill 200 Demi-God Ranks.

The quest did not specify them to defend the Kingdom of Ariot. They just needed to kill 200 Demi-God Ranks, whether they were from the Kingdom of Ariot or the three kingdoms. It was Hell Difficulty because all of them must kill 200 Demi-God Ranks, meaning they had to kill 4000 Demi-God Ranks in total to finish the quest. For a Demi-God Rank, that was fit to be a Hell difficulty.
