Chapter 139 139
Chapter 129. Don't Even Let Go of the Rice Jar!
"All citizens, please leave as soon as possible."
The voice repeated three times, followed by a rapid alarm. It seemed to contain a special rhythm, and everyone who heard it felt light.
Every player had an additional [Lightness] buff, which increased their movement speed by 12%. This was a buff to the people in the city.
"What's going on? why is there a sudden mass evacuation? Aren't we forming a group to come here and get killed?" Someone asked in confusion.
As soon as he finished speaking, a loud sound came from the City Lord's mansion. A huge hole was blown open in the purple-black barrier. The castle, which had its top cut off, suddenly trembled and was about to collapse a second time.
The movement did not stop there. After the explosion, the ground of the entire Golden Butterfly City shook three times. There were a few more sounds on the street, as if something was spurting out from the ground, and the ground rose one after another.
"F*ck, this is too exciting. It's a blockbuster!"
The players were shocked. After taking screenshots, their eyes were filled with more surprise than horror.
At this moment, Ninja Blade seemed to have received some sort of message and immediately sent out a notification in the guild channel.
[All members, head to the church and take the initiative to apply for the evacuation mission. Players who are level 12 and above and have a reputation of more than friendly will do their best to help the people evacuate. The rest of you, stay behind.]
As soon as the news came out, the entire guild was dumbfounded.
"Boss, why are we staying?"
A level 11 player asked curiously, "It's dangerous, isn't it?"
[I let you stay because I have an important matter to attend to.]
Ninja Blade replied, as if he was hiding something.
Nelwin saw the trick and poked his younger brother's waist.
"Hey, what did Char say to you again?"
Ninja Blade smiled shyly and forwarded her sister a message from Char.
[The Golden Butterfly City is going to spiral up to the sky, and you'll let your guild level below 12 and your reputation below friendly stay in the city to pick up scraps. After everyone leaves, the entire city will be left unguarded and in chaos. All the ownership of items will be erased. You can take whatever you see, not even a rice jar. In any case, it will be blown up to the sky in the end, so it will be a waste not to take it. He told them to clear the bags in advance. The rest of you help the old lady out of the city, farm reputation and accumulate some merit. The guards of Golden Butterfly City have set up a stronghold behind us, and you can accept quests from them depending on your reputation.]
After Nelwin read it, he sighed.
"That's really his style. No wonder you can't say that. Alright, I'll explain."
Nelwin gathered the players who met the requirements of the "Suicide Squad" into a group and whispered something to them. Meanwhile, Ninja Blade took the others to take on the evacuation mission.
The other players in Golden Butterfly City saw that the people of the flame knot had started a group activity again, so they followed them and rushed to the street where the church was located.
In an instant, the church was filled with the chosen ones, all of them clamoring to help the old, weak, sick, and disabled out of the city.
"This is really the blessing of the Holy Spirits."
An old human priest saw this and could not help but feel emotional.
"These children are all good!"
In the City Lord's mansion, the originally classical and exquisitely decorated castle had long been destroyed beyond recognition. The flowerbeds that Saxson had carefully maintained, the marble corridors, and the beautiful dome with murals were mostly destroyed by the sword light. The stone pillars had collapsed, and the ground was in a mess.
The entire ground looked as if it had been plowed once again. Other than the runic pillars that were still glowing, there was almost nothing left.
The Silver Dragon had died long ago. Its magic resistance was too low. The increased gravity had completely shattered its internal organs, and stomach acid had begun to dissolve them. Even though it still retained the Dragon's strong recovery ability and physical resistance, it could not withstand the festering from the inside out.
Ortlinde's eyes were red and her eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. However, she was being held back by Saxson and had no time to care about this Silver Dragon that she had not been with for long but had a deep relationship with.
Saxson's condition was not any better. This elegant Duke was like a Red-eyed Wolf. His eyes were filled with monstrous killing intent and bloodlust. He was cold and emotionless.
"Die!"
The Valkyrie let out a shout and slashed the earth puppet that Saxson had summoned into pieces. The golden sword light didn't slow down, and it crashed into the dark purple barrier. With a sound, a hole was opened, and fresh air rushed in. The two of them could not help but wake up.
Neither of them were mediocre. They immediately sensed that something was wrong. It seemed that ever since Saxson had covered this battlefield with a barrier, a strange fighting spirit had risen in their hearts. They became bloodthirsty and warlike, unable to calm down at all. Any slight dissatisfaction would suddenly rise to the limit and turn into hatred for each other.
Ortlinde immediately reacted.
This was mystic energy!
Only a high concentration of mana could have such a shocking corrupting power, causing people to fall toward endless desires, and finally completely become a machine lost in instinct!
The Valkyrie glanced at Saxson, and the elf also reacted. However, she could not calm down for a while.
"We've been tricked," She said in a low voice. She looked at the Silver Dragon's body and a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes. Then she turned and left.
"Wait!"
Saxson called out to her. "You can't leave yet!"
Ortlinde was furious. Just as she was about to turn around and scold him, she saw that Saxson's face was filled with fear, and his body was trembling.
What was going on?
After fighting for so long, she had a deep understanding of the Mage's strength. What could have frightened him to this extent?"
Saxson pointed to the ground, his face red from holding back his breath. It was as if he did not even have the energy to speak.
Ortlinde's pupils shrank as she read on!
Underground, a crack was slowly opening. Dark mana was surging and expanding behind it, like countless prisoners locked behind the Iron bars, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws, waiting for the moment to break through the iron gate.
Pitch-black mystic energy had already seeped out slowly, breaking through the purplish-black barrier and slowly wrapping around the Silver Dragon's body. The latter's nails began to grow, and its scales were slowly dyed with a deep black mist.
The Valkyrie was shocked.
Even though she was focused on killing Char, she did not forget that her main duty as a member of the church was to clear out the monsters and save the people. She suddenly thought of the people in the city...
However, as soon as she turned her head, she saw that in the distance, the people of Golden Butterfly City were evacuating in an orderly manner. A large crowd of people was moving out of the city in an orderly manner.
Someone foresaw this in advance?
Ortlinde took a deep breath and did not care about it anymore. She nodded slightly at Saxson.
The Mage understood what she meant. She wanted to open the barrier herself, and then she would seal the crack.
The water elemental's soft body formed a countdown in the air. As soon as the countdown ended, the purple-black barrier instantly retracted back into the runic pillar. Mana suddenly poured out from the crack. The Valkyrie's sword light was like a dazzling sun, hitting the ground hard.
However, her sword seemed to have hit a gas can.
