Chapter 57: Encounter in the Sealed City
Chapter 57: Encounter in the Sealed City
Dao Yangjie arrives in the sealed city of Rubardland, having heard of its barrier magic and believing that understanding this barrier might aid in his return to his original world.
Yecheng and Cui, on the other hand, come to the sealed city after hearing rumors of clues to ancient relics. Yecheng accompanies Cui, hoping to find some answers.
In the scene, Dao Yangjie brandishes two Elemental Swords created with the help of sprites, and the resulting Mana Pillar instantly shatters the barrier protecting Rubardland.
Gao Qiu Jingwen and Fujimi Akasaka, witnessing this in the projection, are momentarily stunned. They don't understand why their uncle would destroy the barrier, which he had just described as crucial for the city's protection.
"I wanted to understand the principles of this barrier magic, as it might help me return to my original world."
Moreover, even if the barrier is destroyed, with the help of the sprites, I have the ability to repair it."
Hearing their uncle's words, Gao Qiu Jingwen and Fujimi Akasaka turn their attention back to the projection.
Their uncle claims he can repair the barrier, but in the projection, he appears flustered after breaking it...
"Well, I was so engrossed in studying the barrier that by the time I realized, nearly a thousand legendary beasts had surrounded the sealed city.
Many of them entered the city directly due to the barrier's disappearance.
So, if I had repaired the barrier at that moment, those beasts already inside would have been trapped in the city as well."
Gao Qiu Jingwen and Fujimi Akasaka are speechless upon hearing their uncle's explanation.
They know he had no ill intentions, and he probably didn't realize that the barrier's temporary disappearance would cause the beasts to rush in like sharks sensing blood, instantly swarming the city.
However, due to the original plot, Cui's timely intervention prevented the beasts from entering. This time, with the barrier's disappearance, numerous beasts have already entered the city and begun hunting the humans within.
It is at this moment that Yecheng and Dao Yangjie, both within the sealed city, encounter each other again.
Yecheng and the Elven Maiden Cui were strolling through the streets, casually inquiring about clues to ancient relics.
As it's Molyn Dragon's first time in the sealed city, Cui was explaining the city's barrier magic, emphasizing its strength.
She described it as an ancient, powerful barrier that had protected the city for hundreds, even thousands of years, claiming even the mighty Molyn Dragon was helpless against it.
As Cui was praising the barrier, Yecheng witnessed the massive barrier enveloping the town being struck by a Mana Pillar, leaving a gaping hole in its wake.
"Is this the impenetrable absolute defense barrier you spoke of?"
Watching the enormous barrier over Rubardland fade and dissipate due to the hole, the Elven Maiden is left in shock, unlike Yecheng's calm ridicule.
Cui had been truthful; the barrier magic of the sealed city had protected it for years, boasting high defense and an impeccable track record.
With the barrier broken, the beasts outside the town seem to sense the opportunity, rushing towards the city as if on cue.
The first to enter the Sealed City were the most powerful and fastest Legendary Beasts.
"Howl——————!"
When a giant wolf, at least five meters long with pitch-black fur, burst through the city gates and began rampaging through the streets, a father and daughter who were originally setting up a stall couldn't avoid it in time and were about to be killed by the wolf. At that moment, Yecheng, who had been standing beside Cui, instantly shattered the ground beneath his feet.
In just a few brief moments, the nearly hundred-meter distance was instantly closed.
When Yecheng's figure reappeared, he was already in front of the five-meter-long Ink Wolf Beast.
"Night God Flow Three Techniques —— Maddened Butterfly!"
As Yecheng thrust forward to the giant wolf, he simultaneously drew his sword the moment he appeared in front of it.
The Legendary Beast Ink Wolf, which had been about to bite the human father and daughter, had no idea how this human had suddenly appeared in front of it. However, it didn't take a mere human seriously, so it opened its massive jaws even wider, intending to swallow Yecheng and the pair behind him in one bite.
But just as its fangs were about to touch Yecheng's body, the air suddenly erupted with a series of crisscrossing sword flashes.
In the next second, the Ink Wolf, which had been about to bite Yecheng and the others, suddenly had numerous terrifying wounds appear on its steel-needle-like fur.
Large amounts of blood spurted out from the Ink Wolf like a fountain!
When Yecheng sheathed his long sword, the giant Legendary Beast Ink Wolf collapsed with a loud thud.
In its brief moment of lucidity, the Legendary Beast saw a swarm of blue butterflies, created by the sword flashes, flying around.
It never understood how it had been defeated.
As a Legendary Beast, it was a dominant force wherever it went. It had eaten many humans before and even destroyed a small town on its own. Yet, it had just been instantly killed by a young human boy. Could humans really be that strong? Who was he?
No one answered the Legendary Beast's questions because the human boy who had killed it never even glanced at it. After killing it, he slowly walked towards the father and daughter...
"Cui, try to evacuate and protect the people here. There should be an Adventurer Guild in such a large city. Cooperate with them as much as possible.
I will go find the one who broke the barrier. The magic light pillar that destroyed the barrier must have come from within the city, and I remember the general location."
Cui had no objections to Yecheng's plan.
The one who broke the barrier, being capable of destroying the Sealed City's barrier, must be very powerful. If she were to go and find the culprit, even if she found them, she might not be a match.
