Universal Lords: Building an Immortal Fairyland from Scratch

Chapter 9: Monster Invasion!

The Boundless Void is a place of chaos, strange and incomprehensible by normal standards.

Countless universes, countless worlds have been swallowed by the Void,

and thus,

in the Boundless Void, you could encounter any kind of enemy,

even in the Newcomer Trial,

where the rules offer protection,

Wu Chi didn’t dare to relax.

Inside the small hut, the furnishings were simple—a wooden table, wooden chairs, a hard wooden bed, an oil lamp, and a kettle of tea.

Wu Chi and Lin Daiyu sat across from each other, wiping down the longsword in his hand, his heart filled with excitement.

At school,

he had learned a bit of swordsmanship,

Lords didn’t necessarily need to spend time training, as they could grow stronger quickly by relying on their territory and subjects.

But Wu Chi was a transmigrator, a former novel enthusiast, and naturally, he found this very interesting.

Lin Daiyu sat opposite him, quietly watching Wu Chi,

graceful and elegant, her waist like a willow,

her demeanor natural, and her eyes seemed to speak, full of charm.

What was it like being alone in a room with a beauty?

Wu Chi felt restless, excited but oddly nervous,

“Tch!”

“A man with desire but no courage!”

Wu Chi silently complained about himself.

After thinking for a moment,

he steeled himself and asked, “Daiyu, are you hungry?”

“I’m not starving for now, what about you, young master?”

Lin Daiyu smiled softly,

her pleasant voice struck Wu Chi’s heart, making him swallow nervously.

For a moment, he didn’t know how to continue the conversation.

Suddenly!

Lin Daiyu furrowed her brows slightly, tilting her head toward the door.

“Young master, we have an unexpected guest.”

“Has it come?”

Wu Chi’s eyes lit up, standing up with excitement.

The first wave of the Newcomer Trial, the easiest monster attack of the first day!

“Let’s go!”

Wu Chi waved his hand and walked briskly out of the hut!

The moment he stepped outside,

he saw two small monsters near the fence.

They wielded curved knives, their bodies covered in blood-red skin, roughly resembling 1.5-meter-tall dwarves,

with grotesque faces and horns like a ram’s on their heads!

“Gah~!”

“Raka~! Nixiu~!”

The two blood-red monsters were trying to climb over the fence,

but the fence, being part of his territory,

was protected by mysterious powers, preventing them from crossing. Frustrated, they began hacking at the fence with their knives!

Seeing this,

Wu Chi quickly approached, drawing his longsword while turning back to say, “Daiyu, I’ll try fighting. You cover me.”

“Mm!”

Lin Daiyu watched the two monsters with slight surprise, smiling faintly, and agreed.

On the other side,

the two small monsters noticed Wu Chi and Lin Daiyu and immediately showed greedy expressions,

their eyes turning red as they screeched and attacked the fence with all their might!

Boom! Boom!

Wooden splinters flew,

and the durability of the fence steadily decreased.

…

[Fence]

• Level: 1 (0/50)
• Function: All-around defense.
• Durability: 192/200.
• Description: Basic defense structure, a perfect choice for new Lords.

…

The fence only lost 8 durability points,

indicating that the combat strength of the two small monsters wasn’t too high.

Wu Chi’s courage surged,

and he jumped over the fence, longsword in hand, eyes focused on the monsters.

Seeing the “food” come to them,

the monsters grew excited.

“Raka~!”

“Nixiu~!”

They screeched, swinging their knives and charging forward!

“Their steps are uncoordinated, their movements are sloppy, uneven!”

“These two monsters are definitely weak!”

Wu Chi took a deep breath, suddenly rushing forward with swift steps, and with a steady hand, he thrust his sword!

“Gah—!”

The nearest monster flinched in surprise but still fiercely swung its knife.

With a loud clash,

the sword and knife collided!

In the next moment,

something unexpected happened for the small monster,

Wu Chi’s sword slid down the blade,

and he turned his body, twisting his waist to turn the thrust into a slash!

Fast, precise, deadly!

The sword cut across,

and the monster’s neck was slashed open,

blood spraying out!

It screamed loudly,

then collapsed to the ground, twitching.

“Gah!?”

The other small monster was startled. Its previously menacing expression quickly turned to fear,

and without hesitation, it turned to flee!

But showing its back to the enemy was essentially a death sentence!

Wu Chi’s eyes gleamed,

and he rushed forward, delivering a full-force strike, his sword piercing the small monster’s heart!

Thud—!

Blood splattered, staining the sword red.

The small monster struggled briefly,

then collapsed, quickly becoming a corpse.

“First wave!”

Wu Chi withdrew his sword and shook off the blood, feeling quite satisfied.

At that moment, he noticed two treasure chests materializing on the corpses of the small monsters.

These were the rewards for defeating Void monsters,

and the core to strengthening his territory!

“Sinking Demon Kill Chest”

“Sinking Demon Kill Chest”

“Sinking Demon?”

Wu Chi inserted his sword into the ground and went to collect the two chests, placing them into his inventory.

Normally,

there would only be 2 monsters in the first wave, so Wu Chi relaxed a bit.

But,

just as he was about to turn around!

Boom—!

A sonic boom echoed from the distance, followed by a wave of scorching heat!

Wu Chi snapped his head around,

only to see a rapidly spinning fireball speeding toward him from the darkness!
