[Great Moon Empire Master: Friend, the top brass at headquarters are all useless.
Even in this situation, they keep the protective shield up, hiding in their turtle shells, and even keep all the high-end combat power close to protect themselves.
Pah! A bunch of trash.]
[Poor Enchanter: Wuwuwu, it’s so scary outside, monsters are everywhere.]
Ye Shuangluo looked at the messages from his two teammates in the faction channel, his fingers rhythmically tapping the armrest of his chair.
Just now, Lu Feiyang had informed him that the top leaders at headquarters hoped he could go support Xia City.
Of course, under the guise of support, it was actually that group of cowardly trash wanting him to act as their bodyguard.
Naturally, Ye Shuangluo refused; he had no interest in being anyone’s dog.
Before returning to Luo City, he conveniently sent Sarchi to Xia City.
This was at Sarchi’s own request, though the purpose was unclear.
[Great Moon Empire Master: I heard there are now five more cataclysmic monsters. Could these five monsters correspond to the five formation nodes?]
[Ye Shuangluo: Quite possible. I saw some strange patterns under the white bone throne where White Ghost Lord sits on TV in Dragon City.]
[Great Moon Empire Master: …Speaking of White Ghost Lord, friend, why does he look just like you?]
[Ye Shuangluo: No idea.]
The faction channel fell silent for a moment before Sarchi sent another message.
[Great Moon Empire Master: Friend, didn’t you just split the sea with one strike not long ago? It seemed to have no effect on you. Can you do it again?]
Do it again?
Ye Shuangluo called up the skill panel and looked at the grayed-out skill.
[Wind God’s Whisper]
[Type: Active Skill (Ultimate)]
[Effect: Wind elements will unconsciously be drawn to you. The longer you stay in a world, the more wind elements will be willing to respond and help you.]
[PS: The power of this skill is related to the time you stay in the world and your wind element affinity.]
[Current stay time: 3 hours]
[Evaluation: If you stay in this world for ten years, you might be able to gather all the wind elements in this world and slice this false starry sky apart with one strike.]
If possible, Ye Shuangluo would also like to strike a few more times and directly slay the remaining five cataclysmic monsters.
Not only could he complete his achievements, but he could also finish the world mission.
Unfortunately, the previous strike had already exhausted the wind element “affinity” he had accumulated over two months in this world.
[Ye Shuangluo: Do you think such a powerful skill can be used at will?]
[Great Moon Empire Master: Tsk, you’re right.]
The faction channel went completely silent, and Ye Shuangluo waved his hand to close it.
The TV was still broadcasting the Dragon City channel, and the number of monsters rampaging through the city seemed to have increased compared to before.
In the living room, everyone bore several wounds, clearly having gone out to hunt monsters again, but with little success.
Ye Shuangluo looked at the dejected crowd and suddenly said:
“I’m going to Dragon City.”
As soon as he said this, everyone turned their gaze towards him.
As the guardian of all the problem children in Group 1, Lu Feiyang tried to persuade Ye Shuangluo.
“It’s already fallen; going there now is meaningless.”
“I know, but I’m not going there to save others.”
This statement left everyone puzzled.
“Then why are you going?”
Ye Shuangluo pointed at the White Ghost Lord sitting on the throne on the TV screen and said word by word:
“I’m going to kill this impostor; it’s too much of an eyesore.”
No one expected this reason, and Lu Feiyang was the quickest to react, trying to persuade Ye Shuangluo with the most practical reason:
“It’s almost completely fallen; we can’t go with you.”
The young man nodded, unconcerned, and said:
“I know, that’s why I mean to go alone.”
As soon as he said this, Comrade Huo immediately jumped out to oppose:
“Ah Luo! Now is not the time for you to play hero! It’s not just one or two; it’s a whole city’s worth of monsters. While we’re talking, there might be several more.”
“I never had the intention of playing hero, because I know very well that I’m not a hero.
I just want to do what I want to do.”
The young man’s tone and expression made them realize he was serious.
Xiao Shan still wanted to persuade him, but Lu Feiyang suddenly said:
“Alright, then go do what you want to do. None of us will stop you.”
Ye Shuangluo didn’t waste any words, taking out a map of the Flame Nation from his backpack to initiate spatial teleportation.
“Shuangluo…”
Lu Feiyang called out to Ye Shuangluo, who was about to initiate spatial teleportation.
“Make sure you come back alive.”
He didn’t respond, and the map in his hand instantly ignited, transporting him to Dragon City.
The air in the living room fell into a deathly silence.
Ye Buxie couldn’t understand why, with Dragon City already fallen, he would go there alone; it was utterly irrational.
Only Comrade Huo, with tears in his eyes, said:
“There must still be people alive in Dragon City; Ah Luo must be going there to save them.”
…
Dragon City.
Ye Shuangluo descended upon a ruin, the dizziness from multiple spatial teleportations long since diminished.
He glanced around; it was similar to the ruins of the zombie world where he first entered the game.
The difference was that in the zombie world, the zombies had no attack power during the day, whereas now he faced monsters full of malice towards humans.
He called up his talent interface and scrolled to the bottom of the daily achievements.
[Daily Achievement: Lone Hero]
[Achievement Requirement: Clear the entire city of monsters single-handedly.]
This was the last daily achievement.
“Ah…”
Various monster cries echoed from all around, clearly having noticed Ye Shuangluo, this suddenly appearing human.
Ye Shuangluo first summoned Silver, then gently stroked the blade of [Mortal Kill].
“Partner, we’re about to start a great battle.”
Swish!
The blade casually stabbed backward, instantly piercing a monster attempting to ambush him.
“Kill.”
This was a command to Silver, as well as to all the wraith soldiers he was about to summon.
His goal was singular: to clear this city, killing all these monsters, leaving none alive.
…
At this moment, Dragon City was being watched by countless people worldwide.
Because it was the city with the highest casualties globally, and a cataclysmic monster was stationed there.
The viewership of the Dragon City channel had reached a terrifying 15%.
Countless people felt sorrowful, wondering if Dragon City’s fate would become their future, something they dared not and were unwilling to imagine.
Flower City.
Although all the “Dawn” members in Flower City, like those in Dragon City, had perished, many wild ability users had created a refuge, sheltering most of the civilians.
At this moment, countless people in the refuge were watching the big screen with sorrow, which was broadcasting various national channels.
Of course, most people were more concerned about Dragon City.
After all, Flower City and Dragon City were neighbors, and their situations were similar.
Seeing Dragon City’s plight, they couldn’t help but feel a sense of shared fate.
“What… what is that?”
Suddenly, someone pointed at the big screen and exclaimed.
As soon as this was said, everyone in the refuge focused their gaze on the big screen.
All other channels were broadcasting the monster rampage, but the Dragon City channel was different.
It was live-streaming dozens of soldiers in black armor, wielding various weapons, besieging monsters.
Someone couldn’t help but say:
“They… they look like the soldiers under White Ghost Lord.”
In fact, they weren’t just similar; they were identical except for the color of their armor.
After all the monsters were slain, a young man with a heroic appearance and outstanding demeanor suddenly spoke, though it was unclear whether he was addressing the audience in front of the screen or the dead monsters:
“I am Xiao Shan, commander of the Ghost Legion, here by order of my king to cleanse Dragon City!”
