59: One person took on the entire city, shocking the entire Internet!
Three thousand meters!
Two thousand meters!
One thousand meters!
Lin Ye, amidst the lightning and thunder, broke through the guards' defense lines and was about to reach the city gate.
“Hmph?”
Aurelius sneered from the sky.
“Ignorant fool, the last guy who dared to cause trouble in an Astra Empire city was a Legendary Peak Awakener. What are you?”
“Hahahahaha~!”
“Do you want to know his fate?”
“Die!”
“When you reach Ice Prison, you can ask his frozen skull if he regrets it~!”
Aurelius did not summon the thunderclouds again; instead, he watched Lin Ye charge towards the city gate.
The distance.
Getting closer and closer.
500 meters.
300 meters.
100 meters.
“Magic, suppress!”
With a sharp cry from Aurelius.
A burst of brilliant magical light suddenly erupted near the city gate.
At the same time.
Lin Ye's rapidly advancing body was fixed in place.
“Misaligned Time.”
Lin Ye broke free from the magical restraint, but still couldn't advance a single step.
It was as if an invisible wall blocked his path, tangible but impassable.
“Space magic?”
Lin Ye's eyes darted around, and he immediately pulled out a spatial locator from his bag to check.
“Sure enough, it really is space magic.”
“Huh?”
“Then you really found the right person.”
The next second.
Lin Ye, walking leisurely, passed through the spatial barrier.
“What?!”
When Aurelius saw this, his eyes nearly popped out.
“That... that's space magic!!”
“Even if Arcane Master Avinia came, she couldn't... she couldn't pass through so easily, could she?”
You can deal with space using space.
You can also deal with space using item equipment.
But is it appropriate for you to just stroll through it so brazenly?
Space magic.
The nobility of magic! The king!
It was magic that countered all other magic.
And now?
Space magic was effortlessly broken by someone?
Without even lifting a finger!
“Impossible, it must be an illusion!”
Aurelius didn't believe this outcome, nor did he think anyone could achieve it.
The only possibility.
Was that he had fallen under an illusion.
That's right.
Demon Lord, as a wanted criminal, he must have mastered some evil forbidden techniques, evil illusions.
But you are wrong.
I, Aurelius, as the city lord, even if enveloped by an illusion, can still suppress you!
“Magic Defense Array, fire at will~!!!”
Click, click, click...
The magical mechanisms on the city wall unfolded, and from dozens of dark holes, cannon muzzles rotated, locking onto Lin Ye in an instant.
Dozens of magic-powered cannons simultaneously glowed with a dazzling blue light.
Boom!
Lin Ye's figure flickered, and he had already swept past the city gate, letting the magical cannons behind him explode with sky-high flames.
Turning around.
Lin Ye wore a wicked smile, his gaze sweeping over the city's defenders and Aurelius.
Though he didn't say a word.
Both the city's defenders and Aurelius felt the blatant provocation.
“You scoundrel!”
“What are you still standing there for? Pursue him!”
Aurelius roared as he flew towards the city gate.
But.
Lin Ye had no time to play with him.
His figure flickered.
And he had already transformed into Phantoms, disappearing outside the city.
Adventurers' Guild.
Avinia watched Lin Ye leave safely on the projection, finally letting out a sigh of relief.
Turning her head.
She remembered something.
“Since the Corlen family wants to kill the princess, why do they still ask me to research forbidden summoning magic? What exactly do they want to do?”
On the other side.
Lin Ye ran wildly for thousands of miles, not going to Liefeng Canyon, but returning to Newbie Village.
Forgotten Land.
His gloves were out of durability and needed to be repaired.
Moreover.
Even if they were repaired, Lin Ye didn't plan to set off.
The difficulty of the quest was too high.
It relied almost entirely on the Misaligned Time Gloves; if he didn't have sufficient supplies and rushed in, an accidental death would be a bad look.
Normally, dying was just dying.
After all, it wasn't the Forgotten Land.
But Lin Ye was currently red-named; dying would greatly increase his violence, and if he lost the Misaligned Time Gloves, wouldn't that be a huge loss?
No rush.
Just wait.
In a few hours, he'd open a dungeon to grind some proficiency, and while he was at it, collect a wave of Star Tower's goods to increase his supplies.
As for the princess?
Hmm...
It just depends on whether her life is tough enough.
After all.
If he hadn't happened to receive this quest, she would have died anyway if she was fated to.
Log off.
There was nothing for him in the Forgotten Land.
The beach was full of players; there was no need for him to go there and steal their monsters.
......
“Achoo~”
Isolde, far away in Mingyuan Province, suddenly sneezed.
“Hmm? Is it him?!”
“Yes, it must be him!”
Isolde happily wrinkled her nose, a sweet smile on her lips:
“See, see? He's already thinking about me, so he must know about my danger. Now... he should be rushing over very anxiously, right?”
Aila indicated she didn't want to speak, her two shrewd little eyes secretly scanning their surroundings. If there was danger... then, escaping immediately would be the most correct choice.
......
At the same time.
On the forums, on Douyin.
Videos of Demon Lord soloing the Ostra defenders were everywhere.
“Awesome, awesome~”
“I thought Demon Lord's attacks were sharp, but I never expected his defense to be invincible too!”
“Cheater~”
“This damn guy, he definitely activated invincibility!”
“Can a guy that even the main city's magic array can't kill really exist?”
“Evasion?”
“Get lost, you old bastard. Go pull a Legendary Assassin over and ask him if he can dodge a lightning strike locked on by a magic array?”
“It must be invincibility, it must be cheating.”
“I want to report him!”
“This cheater has affected my gaming experience; I'm jealous~!!”
“It's okay, don't panic.”
“Demon Lord has already been wanted by the Astra Empire, and it's the highest bounty: 1 million star coins, 100,000 merit points, and a villa in Ostra...”
“Tsk tsk, the Astra Empire is really generous this time.”
“100,000 merit points, that's enough to get an official position in the main city, and not a low one. If your reputation is high enough, you might even get a noble title in the Astra Empire.”
“As long as you kill Demon Lord, you'll really take off in one go.”
.......
Forgotten Land.
Bian Yuerong hung up the call from headquarters, her mind filled with exasperation.
“Is this guy crazy?”
“Is it his mission to go against the Astra Empire?”
“He just left Newbie Village and is already red-named, and the reddest kind at that! Does he even know how to play a game like this?!!”
Angry!
Bian Yuerong couldn't find him now. Looking at the Star Tower's contribution, she was indeed ranked first.
But the star coins outside were already difficult to collect.
Someone was snatching them.
Someone was hoarding them.
And someone was raising the price!
Although there were only four days left this week, with this wave of price gouging, that S-rank talent scroll might be inflated to 100 billion?!
Are these people all crazy?!
Bian Yuerong no longer dared to say she'd buy it outright; she could only focus on grinding.
Grinding hard!
......
eternal.
Tyron Ruins.
“Winnice, how many times have we failed now?”
“Seventh time.”
Ex casually turned off the video of Demon Lord, unable to help but laugh.
“Heh, how interesting. I'm actually competing with a guy who's using hacks and cheating.”
“Notify the legion.”
“The next round will revert to normal difficulty; we must clear it!”
Winnice, holding a notebook, reminded him from the side:
“Demon Lord has completely offended the Astra Empire this time, which is where most of the Chinese players are. Once he's forced to leave, players in other faction areas probably won't tolerate him either.”
“It's going to be very difficult for this person to develop further, but his Forgotten Land is very important.”
“Please take a look; this is the data that was sent over. The time crystal and space crystal are both very high-end and rare materials.”
Ex glanced at it.
“The rules of the Forgotten Land seem open, but in reality, it's still a monopoly, and an absolute monopoly on materials...”
“Contact the other guilds. For high-end core materials like these, we must have complete control over them!”
