Chapter 219: 219, [Heart of Blue Dragon Skadi] (Update 1/3)_1
Translator: 549690339
After most people received their assigned tasks, Su Yu led a large group of players towards the center of the plaza.
The center of the plaza had been transformed by Xi Fan into a huge Shadow Magic Circle with a diameter of about 400 meters.
The magic circle was enveloped in dense black fog, obscuring what was happening within.
The troops dispatched by Xi Fan escorted groups of civilians to the perimeter of the Magic Circle.
Many of the civilians became fearful at the sight of the Magic Circle shrouded in black fog.
“Sir, can we avoid going in?”
“Weren’t we supposed to come here to listen to His Majesty’s speech? His Majesty surely isn’t inside there, right?”
The soldiers “kindly” seized these civilians and pushed them into the Magic Circle: “Hurry inside, this is a direct order from the Emperor himself.”
“Rest assured, it won’t harm you.”
“After the speech, come out and find me to collect your reward, 20 spiritual energy coins per person.”
How could regular civilians stand a chance against the robust soldiers? They were all pushed into the Magic Circle one by one.
At first, nothing unusual happened when they entered the Magic Circle, which eased their fears somewhat.
But as soon as the magic circle gathered ten thousand people, the Frenzy Ceremony was activated!
During the ceremony, the civilians’ eyes turned blood-red, and their sanity was lost in an instant.
They crazily lunged at whoever was closest, biting with their teeth and pummeling with their fists, not stopping their assault until their victim was dead, not even when their own bones were broken.
The elderly and weak civilians were disfigured after the first wave of attacks, their bodies drenched in blood.
The remaining young and strong civilians constantly lunged at any living being in their line of sight, as if they were eating each other like parasites. The entire Magic Circle turned into a living hell.
Xi Fan was hovering 60 to 70 meters above the Magic Circle, observing the ceremony below with cold eyes.
The Magic Circle gathered the Mad Energy generated by the civilians and transmitted it to him, creating Frenzy Fragments around him.
Ten minutes later, when the last civilian with blood-red eyes fell, the Mad Energy around Xi Fan solidified into a hundred or so purple-black crystals, these were the Frenzy Fragments that Xi Fan wanted.
Bodies lay strewn all around the Magic Circle below, the area littered with incomplete corpses, with the stench of blood permeating the air.
Xi Fan, however, was indifferent.
He was satisfied as he put away the fragments and said to the soldiers below, “Clear out this batch of used people and replace them with the next.”
“Understood, Lord Xi Fan.” A slightly chubby middle-aged general saluted Xi Fan and ordered his soldiers to comply.
Su Yu and the players arrived before the ceremony began and witnessed the gruesome scene within the array.
Many turned pale at the sight, their hairs standing on ends.
Humans are indeed empathetic creatures, seeing such a massacre was bound to create intense feelings of disgust towards Xi Fan.
Some players even glared at Xi Fan angrily, wishing they could fly up and grind him to pieces!
But they didn’t have the means to do so.
The players were too weak. They couldn’t save the civilians and because of the rewards, they had to personally experience the terrifying Magic Circle.
Rampaging Aimlessly moved forward, standing in the middle of the crowd, his anger towards Xi Fan unabated.
He sent a private message to Su Yu: “Nemesis, if you ever become a high-ranking individual, make sure to find a way to kill this scum!”
Su Yu replied: “Don’t worry, he’s as good as dead.”
Su Yu broke through the crowd and shouted at Xi Fan who was in the sky, “Xi Fan, I have brought all the people you asked for. Now give me the Heart of Blue Dragon Scarti.”
Xi Fan had already noticed the over one hundred thousand adventurers from other worlds who were following Su Yu like a tidal wave.
Although these adventurers were not efficient at generating shards, they were compliant and didn’t revolt – they could even be recycled for multiple uses.
Xi Fan scoffed, and a Space Ring flew out from his hand and landed in Su Yu’s almost instantly.
[Small Space Ring (Rare)]
Attribute: 27 cubic meters of storage space.
Note: Food stored inside will not decay. Cannot store living things.
Using his magic to activate the Space Ring, Su Yu saw a dark purple heart, over two meters tall, stored inside.
The blood left in the thick arteries on the heart had already dried. However, Su Yu could faintly feel the massive magic power contained within the heart. This was undoubtedly the heart of a giant dragon!
[Blue Dragon Scadi’s Heart]
Sixth-grade material
Usage method: 1. Use the magic power contained in the heart to transition to occupations such as Dragon Vein Adept, Dragon Blood Mage, Dragonborn Knight and others.
It can be used to create high-ranking potions like an Ultra Element Guiding potion, the Endless Depth Mixture and others.
The heart, being the major source of power in a giant dragon, is also the most valuable of materials found within its body and naturally has diverse uses.
The heart not only allows you to transition into rare occupations, make high-ranking potions, but also allows your body to contain the power of a giant dragon if consumed. It is even possible to cook and eat the heart.
Since Su Yu has received this heart, he is naturally going to make full use of it.
He plans to use the heart when he breaks through the sixth-level bottleneck. That way, he would be making perfect use of the heart and also gain some additional attributes for himself.
Moreover, it won’t take Su Yu too long to reach the sixth-level bottleneck. Based on his experience in his previous life, he would reach it about two months after the Mage Tower is built and begins burning materials.
The players already knew about the [Scarti’s Heart]. Su Yu had made this very clear in his post, and there was no attempt to hide what he planned to do with it. They were all very supportive of Su Yu taking the heart.
Rampaging Aimlessly stepped in front of the crowd.
He turned to face everyone and shouted: “We are about to enter the Shadow Magic Circle now. I will lead our ‘Ministry’ in first to test the extent of the pain for all of you. If it’s overly painful, we will come out and inform everyone. You all can consider whether to abandon the task accordingly.”
Many of the players nodded in appreciation, gratitude in their eyes towards Mr. Li.
After all, having seen the horrifying state of the public a moment ago, it was impossible for anyone not to be scared. If there was someone who could test it on their behalf, it couldn’t be any better.
However, not all players thought this way.
One regular player stepped out from the crowd and shouted: “Even if it’s painful, can it be compared to the pain we felt when our homeland was occupied by extraterrestrials? Look what’s happening outside! We are still bothered about this?”
“In my opinion, no matter the level of pain, we need to charge forward recklessly! As long as I am not afraid of death, death cannot conquer me!”
And with that, this player was the first to rush into the Shadow Magic Circle.
“Well said!”
“Yes, we’re facing such circumstances. Why should we be afraid of suffering?”
“Suffering now will lead to a higher chance of survival in the future.”
Inspired, the other players began to file into the Magic Circle.
Inspired by their courage, Mr. Li was slightly emotional.
He waved forward and led his guild members quickly into the Magic Circle.
