Chapter 62: Hero? No, No, No, This is Divine Power!
As the small blue sun in the sky gradually diminished in size, streaks of "Azure Flame Plunge" rained down like a meteor shower, blasting towards the ground.
The adventurers who were fighting on the ground and the panicked civilians all halted their actions, gazing at the spectacular scene before them.
The meteor shower of azure flames was dazzlingly beautiful, but for the monsters, it was undoubtedly a harbinger of death.
The monsters targeted by the blue flame rain had little chance of surviving the terrifying azure flames! Those with flight capabilities could dodge the first "Azure Flame Plunge" with agile maneuvers, but what about the second and third strikes?
Previously, when the barrier spell dissipated, hundreds of monsters had surged into the Sealed City.
Approximately a hundred of them had perished at the hands of the Molyn Dragon, several dozen by the adventurers of the town, and Mabel Raybell had taken down a dozen or so.
As for the remaining two to three hundred monsters, they were all eliminated by Yecheng alone!
And the time he took to accomplish this feat was less than a few minutes, a terrifying display of power that made the Molyn Dragon secretly suspect that Yecheng might be the reincarnation of a demon lord.
As for why he wasn't a 'Hero'? He didn't dwell on that thought because the Molyn Dragon believed that Yecheng's personality was completely different from the so-called 'Hero'.
Being able to eliminate so many monsters in such a short time was not only due to the power boost from the external cheat, but also because of the Sealed City's barrier.
Rubardland's barrier spell was effective both inside and outside, and it only affected monsters.
After Shima Yousuke repaired the barrier, monsters from the outside couldn't enter, and those inside couldn't escape.
With no way up to the sky and no way down to the ground, the monsters could only await their demise under Yecheng's righteous azure flame meteor shower.
"Roar~~~~~!"
As the monsters within the city were almost completely annihilated by Yecheng, the Molyn Dragon let out a loud dragon's roar, declaring their victory.
Although she wasn't the one who had just showcased her prowess, she had at least served as a tool for Yecheng, right?
If it weren't for her allowing Yecheng to ride on her back and fly into the sky, would he have been able to eliminate so many monsters so smoothly?
Obviously not, so the Molyn Dragon deserved credit this time, and a roar to assert her presence was not an overreaction.
As she landed in the large plaza where Yecheng had taken refuge, the area was already surrounded by people.
Everyone had witnessed Yecheng's heroic feat, using a power akin to a divine miracle to annihilate all the monsters in the town.
At this moment, the people of the Sealed City not only felt gratitude towards Yecheng but also harbored deep reverence.
Such godlike strength was beyond their comprehension, and when the Molyn Dragon landed, many in the crowd even bowed their heads in worship towards Yecheng.
Once the first person bowed, others followed suit, and soon the entire plaza was filled with people kneeling in awe.
Yecheng touched his nose, feeling a bit flustered as he looked at the crowd surrounding him. His actions were uncertain, not knowing how to react.
Although he had lived for many lifetimes, this was the first time he had encountered such a grand spectacle.
In contrast to Yecheng's uncertainty, the Molyn Dragon exuded an air of contentment and ease.
In her eyes, these insignificant humans should naturally bow down and worship her.
And let's not mention that they had just saved these insignificant ants; she herself was a proud legendary dragon. Encountering a superior being at the top of the food chain, it was only natural to maintain a basic sense of reverence, wasn't it?
"Thank you, Son of God, for saving us from this disaster. Your people once again offer you the highest reverence and gratitude."
Rubardland had legends of deities, and it was said that such powerful Barrier Spells were left behind by the deities.
As residents of the Sealed City, most of the people here firmly believed in these legends.
The power displayed by Yecheng before had, from any perspective, far surpassed the limits of humanity, even to the point of taming the legendary Molyn Dragon as a mount. This was clearly something that even a 'Hero' couldn't accomplish.
So, naturally, the residents of the Sealed City who recalled this legend now regarded Yecheng as the legendary "Son of God."
Me, the 'Son of God'? These residents must be drunk, right? Hearing what the residents of the Sealed City said, Yecheng quickly waved his hands in denial. If he had such an impressive identity, he wouldn't have had to borrow money from Suya for his living expenses from the start.
"We understand, Son of God. Since you don't want to reveal your identity in the mortal realm, we will naturally choose to keep it a secret."
Hearing Yecheng's denial, the residents of the Sealed City immediately became 'understanding brothers,' expressing that they would definitely obey the divine decree and keep silent about this matter, no matter who asked.
Yecheng gave up struggling because he felt it would be difficult to explain to a group of people with holes in their heads.
Son of God or not, this alias sounded intimidating, and it might even come in handy in the future.
The matter was resolved, but Yecheng felt it would be challenging to continue staying in this city.
However, just as Yecheng was about to find an excuse to escape the enthusiastic residents, he noticed that a little loli had somehow appeared by his side and was tugging at his trouser leg.
"Nini, what are you doing! Don't be so rude to the Son of God!"
When the crowd saw the loli who had run to Yecheng's side and was pulling at his pants, a big man among them immediately showed a panicked expression.
"Norton, what kind of person are you? Can't you even keep an eye on your own daughter?
To show such disrespect to the Son of God, are you prepared to face the death penalty?!"
Hearing her father's anxious call and the curses from the other residents directed at her father, the loli, who had been smiling and was about to thank Yecheng, now had her eyes filled with tears.
Yecheng recognized the little loli who had approached him. Previously, Yecheng had saved this father-daughter duo by slaying a wolf-like monster with a single strike.
Seeing the tearful loli, Yecheng almost instinctively bent down and picked her up, saying gently, "Isn't this the cute little girl from before?
You didn't cry when facing such a ferocious Great Wolf Beast, but why are you crying now?"
Perhaps it was Yecheng's gentle tone, coupled with his impressive looks, that gave the loli a great sense of security, so she lifted her head and, with a little courage, asked softly, "Son of God, Nini didn't mean to pull your pants leg.
Nini just wanted to thank the Son of God for saving Nini and her father. Nini knows she was wrong, but can you please not punish Nini and her father?"
