Chapter 162 The Lord Should Take Action Now (3K Requests For Monthly Tickets!)—!
Translator: 549690339 |
The eruption of the monster tide deep within Trick City jolted the players who were still immersed in their adventures and treasure hunts.
They used various means to probe the situation in the city center. Yet when they saw the monstrous swarms that resembled black tide, they were all startled.
“I always said this ancient city’s sudden appearance spelled disaster!1 “Earlier I saw the Fierce Gun Mercenary Corps from the Shen Yao Empire heading for the city center and they rudely drove away other players, seizing control of the entire city center… Damn it, those bastards must have done something!”
“The Fierce Gun Mercenary Corps, the one that once explored the ancient ruins and obtained a large amount of technical information?
This was no obscure mercenary group!
After all, those who could delve deep into Trick City were generally experienced players. Yet, the Fierce Gun Mercenary Corps still managed to monopolize the adventure, which said a lot about their strength.
They were equipped extraordinarily, each player owning an Exploding Firegun.
Yet at this time,
“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!”
Before the black tide, players in uniform combat suits, holding silver and red intertwined fireguns over half a meter long, fled in panic.
The soldiers covering the rear were nearly annihilated.
Some players turned back, pulling the trigger and shooting a dazzling gun light, each shot killing a dozen monsters and blasting a hole over two meters in diameter on the patchy ground. However, these seemingly infinite black monsters gushing from deep underground were unaffected by such minor damages-it was like missing a few drops of water in a lake, insignificant. They were quickly caught by the black tide, screamed, and were reduced to nothingness.
At this time,
All players in Trick City were desperately fleeing outward, but even players at the periphery were trembling with fear.
Even from a distance, they could still see the terrifying black tide.
It was like a tide;
Or like a dark cloud;
Spreading an oppressive and suffocating aura. Perhaps influenced by the black tide or the terrifying shadow, the black fog in Trick City churned more violently, and an invisible disturbance enveloped the city.
Some players were terrified to find that no matter how hard they ran they couldn’t close the distance, as if they were trapped in an invisible formation. Stronger players, through their powerful spirit and will, could break through these disturbances or find the correct path using various special methods.
However, they also delved deeper into Trick City.
Everyone was in danger.
Unless some powerful player troops had just arrived in Trick City and had not
ventured deep yet.
‘The Hand of the Yellow Scarf’ mercenary group from Xiji City had just arrived. They were so astounded, stupefied, and alarmed by what they saw.
They were one of the top three powerful mercenary groups in Xiji City. Having received numerous honorific titles from Tai Xuan such as ‘City Guardian,’ ‘Great Explorer,’ ‘Spear of Xiji,’ and ‘Friend of the Citizens’, each player in the group was elite.
However, even the elites didn’t dare to confront the black tide.
They were just humans.
They stood on a hill outside the city, looking out into the distance. “Thank goodness our group leader slacked off earlier, otherwise if we had come a few days earlier, sheesh…”
“No, it’s not the time to relax yet.”
A strong player stared, “Judging by the current trend, the monster tide is likely to break out of Trick City, sweeping up a real monster wave in the surrounding areas! Our Xiji City may be affected as well!
“This is already a catastrophe. We mercenaries can’t solve it. No one in the Trick City region can resist it. Hurry, notify the Lord of Xiji City!”
At a location not far from the center of Trick City,
General Dead Bone furrowed his brow.
Another accident had occurred.
The already slow rate at which the Space Gate was closing had slowed down
even more.
This was inevitably due to the influence of Trick City, or rather, the monstrous tide and the massive shadow. If the massive shadow could be killed, this eerie disturbance would surely be eliminated.
However,
General Dead Bone had a very accurate understanding of his own Combat Power. There was a huge disparity between him and the shadow, he was far from being its match.
Not to mention the massive shadow, even the seemingly endless tide in front of him was hard to confront.
It was just too numerous.
And too powerful.
There were numerous elite-level monsters inside, such as the Shadow Eye monsters, the Black Giant Birds, Hundred-eyed Crows, and so on. Powerful monsters mixed in like droplets of water.
“What should we do, Gugiji?”
“Defend, just hold out till the gate closes.”
Dead Bone said.
Soon, the black tide spread to this area.
Dead Bone, Duo Lai, and Isloa were all forced to take action.
Duo Lai’s flames blazed, covering and easily burning the ordinary monsters in a whole street. General Dead Bone then precisely finished off the elite monsters that were hard to burn to death.
As for Isloa… she found herself too poor. Her energy in this kind of situation had very limited effect.
She could only provide support, casting some buff statuses on Dead Bone and
Duo Lai.
General Dead Bone was quite satisfied.
A teammate who can provide enhancements, not bad. The three of them stood like a reef, resisting wave after wave of assaults from the tide, unyielding.
In the center of the black tide, a massive shadow towering like a skyscraper, let out a deep, hoarse roar.
“Intruders… die.”
“Eagle Kingdom… wait for me… to gather… my soldiers… to trample on…’ The giant shadow repeated these words over and over.
It had some consciousness, although not much, but it gradually turned its gaze towards Dead Bone and his companions who were the most resistant and difficult for the monster tide to swallow.
An invisible pressure, suddenly swept over.
It felt as if a mountain was weighing heavily down on them.
“Back off.”
Lord Shepherd spoke up. He looked at the terrifying shadow, not through the eyes of the Storm Falcon, but in person. He had come to the outside of the Space Gate, separated from Trick City by just a gate.
Standing here, he could also feel the suffocating oppression coming from the terrifying dark shadow.
Stronger than the Orochi that had descended.
Embodiment of obsession? A fallen demon? Monster mutation? What it was didn’t matter anymore, what mattered was, the dark shadow posed a threat to the safety of Tianyuan Territory.
The gigantic shadow cast its gaze.
So did Lord Shepherd.
His short hair began to grow longer, surrounded by a faint but stronger suppression force than Duo Lai and Dead Bone.
(Isloa: As expected, Lord is indeed the real strongest!)
Mu Yuan extended his hand, palm facingup, as if supporting the sky.
“Techniques, come forth!”
A few kilometers away, at the core of Tianyuan Territory.
In the Magic Furnace that resembled a giant silver pot, red and blue auras suddenly shot into the sky, thunderclaps rang out from the ground, like an enraged Giant Dragon roaring.
One after another, giant dragons made of fire and sculpted by thunder lay transverse, projecting a full sky of radiant reflections over the wilderness several kilometers away.
The Nine-headed Roaring Thunder Flame Dragon!
This large-scale magic held various changes and usages, but controlling such a technique imbued with terrifying energy was extremely difficult! Or you could say it was impossible! Usually, you could only launch such large- scale magic according to an established set up.
However, at this moment,
Veins bulged on Great Lord Shepherd’s forehead. After using the Duo Lai Template, his inherent strong spiritual power seemed to have broken through its limits.
Based on the cornerstone of his ‘Spiritual Link’ talent, his psychic power turned into threads, firmly holding the impulsive beast that was the Nine-headed Roaring Thunder Flame Dragon, and swung it towards the space gate that was not so wide and had jagged edges.
Whoosh——-
The Thunder Flame Dragon roared as it flew past Duo Lai and Dead Bone, stretching its immense body of thunder and fire once more over the dimly lit Trick City, casting endless light and heat over the Monster Tide.
It dived down.
The black monsters disintegrated into ashes inch by inch, and the ground also caved in amidst the charred traces.
The Nine-headed Roaring Thunder Flame Dragon surged towards the enormous dark shadow.
Appearing to reveal the image of the shadow. His body was as dry as wood, his eye sockets sunken, wearing a black crown, surrounded by endless black fog. The black mist made him appear as if he reached the heavens and pierced the earth, like a king overlooking the world. He manipulated the black fog, vaguely forming an invisible giant hand, reaching for the Thunder Flame Dragon.
Yet another vein bulged on Mu Yuan’ s forehead.
His spirit spread out like a net throughout heaven and earth. The energy burned fiercely like a blazing fire.
The Nine-headed Roaring Thunder Flame Dragon, contrary to its large body, performed a spiral flip in mid – air, flying past the giant hand of black fog, heading towards the massive shadow… The massive shadow formed by the black fog, entangled ring after ring, tying it tighter and tighter. The extreme heat of the fire and the annihilating thunder impacted close by, causing the black fog to sizzle and dissipate. Not waiting for the dark shadow to roar again, Great Lord Shepherd raised his hand that seemed supporting the heavens, and tightly clenched it.
The ultimate light radiated from the Thunder Flame Dragon, as if a sun was gently rising in the pitch-black land.
Wherever its light shone, the surrounding black fog and monsters turned into smoke and vanished.
The glorious light finally reached its climax. A deafening explosion that could be heard clearly outside the city. The huge sun tightly clung to the ground, with visible ripples spreading rapidly all around from the center of the blast.
Wherever it passed, the bodies of the black monsters twisted and were then torn apart.
One after another, either grand or low buildings were instantly collapsed. Rubble and broken wood were swept into the raging wind, flung outwards. Even the ground and roads were uprooted in large patches, forming a devastated land with a diameter of at least several kilometers at the center of the explosion.
General Dead Bone was stationed in front of the Space Gate. The ground rose up numerous skeletons, forming a sturdy Wall of Burial, but the wall still creaked under the impact, cracking and then healing again and again.
In less affected areas, some players were lifted by the aftershock, rolling several tens of meters away.
They quickly got up and climbed to the roofs of buildings that hadn’t collapsed in that area to look out.
They were stunned.
“The black tide, it’s almost gone.”
A player murmured, most of the monster tide giving chase like a matter of life and death had suddenly been wiped out. Were they safe now?
But they couldn’t laugh, they couldn t relax. Their hearts were still trembling under the just now world-shattering force.
Humans, are so insignificant.
What on earth happened?
Suddenly, a player looked up.
Above the Trick City, surrounded by black fog and swirling clouds, a huge hole had appeared from nowhere, the heavenly light shining down strand by strand, extremely bright.
Shining on the land of Trick City that had never seen light, and also falling on some players.
They stopped and stared, as if waking from a great dream, “No matter what, we survived the great calamity.”
Outside the Trick City, a strongman arrived, walking in mid-air. His eyes shone brightly, gazing at Trick City that was shrouded in dark clouds and black fog, covered as if by a gigantic pot lid, his expression gradually grew grave.
“Abad omen.”
“Trouble, an ominous thing has been born here, it will bring disaster.” “No, I must report to the City Lord immediately, but the situation is somewhat unclear…”
Just as he was hesitating whether to return immediately with the message or venture into the city for a look…
The ultimate, dazzling, brilliant flame rose to the sky, tearing through the year-round black clouds over Trick City. Like a flaming sword of heaven embedded in the city, casting a cleansing brilliance.
Also, it seemed to reflect the shocked and gradually astonished face of the imposing figure hovering in mid-air.
Shock! Shock! Shock!
“What on earth… happened?”
At the same time, Mr. Mu didn’t bother thinking about whether the Nineheaded Roaring Thunder Flame Dragon could succeed or not, seeing the closing speed of the Space Gate significantly increasing, he quickly urged Dead Bone and the others to get away.
He watched it, waiting.
One second, two seconds, eight and a half seconds. The Space Gate was finally completely closed, leaving no gap.
