Chapter 235: Self-Destruction
Chapter 235: Self-Destruction
Seaside Rock City, the premier metropolis of the Western Continent, was bustling with players from the Rayne and Wind Chime Empires, all busy with their quests.
Seeing Su Yu and Aijia appear, the players below excitedly waved up at the sky.
"Boss Ke! Boss Ke, why are you here?"
"Boss Ke, have you taken on the hidden quest?"
"This hidden quest involves Queen Aijia. Could it be another main storyline?!"
Su Yu smiled and waved back at the players, almost letting out a "Good work, everyone!"
Aijia, meanwhile, was focusing her mental energy.
With her full concentration, her mental energy transformed into a solid golden wave of light, scanning the and of Seaside Rock City, and her the her the focus on,.
the noble district, the primary target of her scan.
.
Soon, she located Grantex's position through her mental energy scan.
"Ke, that place!" Aijia pointed to a large estate below.
"Got it!"
Ke replied.
Activating his Frost Wings, Su Yu flew at his maximum speed toward the estate where a gala was being held.
Once he reached the estate, he ignored the strain on his body and cast Blink more than a dozen times in quick succession, rapidly closing the distance to Grantex, who had just escaped the estate.
Grantex was utterly terrified when he realized Aijia's mental energy had locked onto him.
His mind went blank, and the only thought that remained was, "It's over!"
Driven by instinct, he used all his strength to leap out a side window, fleeing in a panic.
But just as he escaped the estate, Su Yu, having cast Blink repeatedly, was already right behind him.
Facing Grantex, Su Yu forced a smile despite the intense strain on his body. "Hello, traitor."
Grantex: "..."
His heart skipped a beat. Su Yu's smile was more terrifying than any devil he had ever seen.
.
"God is great!"
Boom!
A deafening explosion ripped through Seaside Rock City, as if a tactical nuclear missile had struck. A golden mushroom cloud, two kilometers in diameter, rose from the noble district.
Grantex's estate and the nearby mansions of a dozen noble families were instantly reduced to ashes.
The explosion's shockwave and debris shot skyward, blocking out the sun.
The shockwave spread rapidly in all directions, the violent dust cloud seeming to devour everything in its path.
Even in the distant civilian areas, people felt the ground tremble violently, with many flimsy houses collapsing, and screams filling the air.
This was the damage equivalent to ten times Su Yu's health points.
After obtaining the Leader Template, Su Yu's health points were about fifteen times those of a player of the same level.
At this level of explosion, no living creature within a one-kilometer radius could survive.
Grantex was no exception.
His health points dropped to zero in an instant, and he was eliminated by Su Yu.
Sensing Grantex's death, the heavy burden on Aijia's heart lifted, her her lighter,,0., and her bright brightened.
She thanks to Ke for helping her eliminate this traitor.
However, the thought of not seeing Ke for the next three months made her mood heavy once more.
She shook her head, pushing thoughts of Ke aside.
Narrowing her eyes, she began to gather her magical power.
Endless icy magical energy swirled around her wand.
"Ice Wall!"
With a wave of her wand, a massive ice wall, several dozen meters high and spanning the entire city, rose from the ground.
The massive ice wall stood tall at the boundary between the noble district and the commoner district.
Su Yu's explosive shockwave ravaged the noble district, nearly reaching the vulnerable commoner district.
At this critical moment, Elise's ice wall appeared just in time. The shockwave hit the ice wall, making a creaking sound.
Fortunately, the ice wall held strong and the shockwave was completely blocked.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty! We will always love you!"
"Your Majesty, you will always be our greatest queen!"
The commoners of Seaside City bowed in reverence to Elise.
At this crucial moment, Elise still prioritized the welfare of her people. How could such a good ruler not be loved?
Elise pressed her hand down toward the commoners below and, with the aid of her magic, shouted across the entire city:
"I am Queen Elise of the Golden Sparrow! Now, Grantex has been brought to justice. Everyone has seen the price of betraying the Golden Sparrow!"
"I promise you, any traitor to the empire will not be spared! Their fate will be the same as Grantex's!"
Elise's voice echoed throughout the city.
The noble district of Seaside City was deathly silent, with no one responding to Elise.
However, in the commoner district and the slums, many people waved their fists and shouted in response:
"Your Majesty is right! No one welcomes traitors!"
"Traitors must pay the price!"
"Traitors deserve no good death!"
Seeing her goal achieved, Elise smiled.
Afterward, she and Andonidas launched a surprise attack and destroyed several key military facilities within the city.
Seaside City, a crucial support point for the two empires' assault on the entire Western Continent, served as the logistics headquarters for the joint forces.
Here, there were vast warehouses filled with supplies for the troops.
Taking advantage of the situation, Elise took everything she could carry away and opened the doors to the warehouses for the commoners to "shop for free," or set them on fire.
However, the good times were short-lived.
The legendary powerhouses of the two empires, realizing their rear was under attack, quickly rushed back from the front lines.
Soon, the horizon was filled with a dense cluster of black dots as Tyrion and his subordinates, their faces grim, rushed toward Seaside City.
Elise smiled slightly. "Andonidas, let's go."
"Alright!" Andonidas activated the teleportation array and easily teleported with Elise, who had recovered to the fifth rank, back to their territory.
Seeing the white light of teleportation disappear from view, Tyrion's mouth dropped open in surprise.
What's going on?!
He knew Andonidas well. While Andonidas could teleport from the Golden Sparrow's borders to here, it was almost impossible for him to do it again in the opposite direction.
A one-way long-distance teleportation would drain Andonidas's magic almost completely. How did he manage to teleport back and forth? Could he have made a significant breakthrough in his strength?
As Tyrion pondered, the Windchime Empire's general, Sivine, angrily confronted him:
"Tyrion, you were so confident that Elise was walking into a trap.. What. say, I laugh and and.": " "We forward and see what. in person. Let's go up and ask the witnesses what happened."
Tyrion, feeling his face turn red, quickly flew toward Seaside City.
