Chapter 547: Hit By The City

“That is already the ninth barrier that is about to be broken. I really hope that that barrier is the last one.”

An elf rubbed his sore shoulder and sat on a huge protruding rock on the ground, sighing.

There were many other elves beside him. They all looked tired as they looked at the starlight barrier that spanned across heaven and earth and covered an unknown number of kilometers in front of them. Their expressions were gloomy.

They had received the King’s order to form an assassination team to head to the fortress city. They thought the mission would be straightforward. Even if the Holy Dragon Kingdom’s monarch guarded the fortress city, each of them had risen to the level of mythical creatures. How could the fortress city even have the strength to deal with over a hundred powerful platinum-tier existences?

However, most of the contempt in their hearts for the fortress city had disappeared. It had been half a day since they set off, and still, they had yet to break through the other eight barriers. They had not even seen the fortress city’s silhouette, let alone capturing Watson.

That was still the result of relying on Beta. If he had not done all he could to summon a large number of skeletons of the dead, including the remains of some ancient gods, they would not even be able to break through the first protective barrier.

As for the price, Beta’s face had turned black, and his lips were pale. He could no longer maintain his complete form as the God of Death’s descendant. His legs swayed as he sat there.

Many elves looked at Beta with pity in their eyes. That ruthless fellow who would kill his companions without any hesitation had become so silent. It was all the fault of those starlight barriers. None of them could break it if they had not reached the starlight tier. If those enchantments were not broken in one go, they would automatically repair themselves. It was a torturous process.

“Have you rested? Get up and continue to work. ”

Beta seemed to feel the gazes of the elves. He frowned and looked unhappy. Suddenly, he stood up from where he was sitting.

He was at the fortress city to capture Watson so that he could show off in front of the Elven King and let him know how outstanding he was. If that dragged on, his goal would not be fulfilled.

“Wake up, God of Death, who had existed since ancient times and had fallen into a deep sleep!”

Extending his hands, Beta shouted toward the sky, “I am willing to pay with my blood in exchange for your powerful strength.”

His left hand’s fingernails cut at his right wrist, and blood ran down the direction of his wrist. The blood covered the ground, leaving no trace of color because the blood was absorbed the minute it touched it.

The ground that had absorbed the blood seemed to spring to life, erupting in a terrifying roar. Numerous massive skeletons stood up and stretched their arms from the earth, delving into the soil.

There were skeletons with two horns on their heads, limbs more than ten meters long, and giants dozens of meters tall among them. They might collapse the earth with a single step. An enormous dragon with ghost flames burning on its opened wings flew across the sky, as did three heads with rotten flesh sprouting in their chests.

Those skeletons were not the most powerful. There were a few terribly mutilated skeletons among the resurrected skeletons. They were either missing their heads or had holes all over their bodies. Those mutilated bones were engulfed in golden light and had a magnificent aura. A few false divine kingdom projections floated above their heads.

Those skeletons with the ability to conjure divine kingdoms were the gods who had perished in that country in ancient times. They had successfully revived at that point, thanks to Beta’s summoning, and had begun to attack the protective barrier in front of them.

“Divine Kingdom of Light!”

“Divine Kingdom of Mountain!”

“Divine Kingdom of Fire!”

There were the remains of more than ten resurrected gods, with the three prominent ones being relatively well-preserved. Among them, the god who unleashed the divine Kingdom of Light was a creature with a triangular cone-shaped body that resembled a prism. The last two gods were also not humans. The first was a turtle with eight legs and a massive mountain on its back, while the second was a female with flaming hair. Every hair on her body was a raging inferno.

The other three Gods’ Remains were attacked at the same time. Three separate divine kingdoms intertwined. On the massive mountain, light and flames exploded, and gravel flew everywhere. Each of those boulders had a greater impact force than a cannonball, and as they flew through the air, they collided and erupted again, generating a chain of explosions that ripped a hole in the starlight barrier.

“I am hoping that the time barrier is the last one.”

Beta prayed silently in his heart. He floated up behind the cover of the many skeleton troops and soared toward the torn hole in the air, a concerned expression on his face. The elves trailing behind him did the same.

The elves quickly soared past the barrier and peered ahead.

“There’s no more. There is no starlight barrier ahead,” someone yelled. Everyone’s expressions brightened. They possessed great strength, but they were unable to employ it due to the barrier’s hindrance. It was time to reap the lives of the humans in the fortress city now that they had finally entered. They desired retaliation for the annoyance they felt when they were trapped beyond the barrier.

“The barrier is gone, but what about the fortress city?”

Many elves breathed a sigh of relief as they saw that the barrier in front of them had vanished. They were at ease, but they quickly sensed that something was wrong. The nine walls in front of them were gone, but so was the fortress city.

“Not only did they erect so many barricades, but they also caused the fortress city to vanish. When did those humans become so powerful? Spread out and look. The fortress city is so big that it can’t have been removed in a single day. It must be hidden nearby, or someone must have put an invisibility spell on it. It is here, but we can’t see it.”

Beta signaled with his hand for his troops to search for the city.

He had previously boasted that invading the fortress city was like playing around. Then, he encountered such a big obstacle. That caused him to look foolish in front of his elves. Furthermore, he had put forth a lot of work to break past the nine walls. He wished to unleash his rage on the fortress city’s citizens.

“When I reach the fortress city, I will kill Watson and all those who are related to him. I will also murder half of the city’s inhabitants. I have squandered so much energy. Killing half the people in the city should not be a problem, right?”

As he whispered gently, Beta’s eyes were filled with darkness. His mouth was slightly twisted, and the exposed sharp teeth were continually rubbing against each other, generating ear-piercing sounds.

He was not idle while he was speaking. He directed the zombie skeletons beneath him to attack the surrounding area, particularly the three Gods’ Remains. Each of them had launched a distinct form of divine kingdom, and each fired thousands of beams of light. Thousands of holes were left in the ground due to the attacks. The Mountain Divine Kingdom had instantly transformed into a divine mountain and collapsed, slamming the ground with fractures. The Divine Kingdom of fire was much more bloodthirsty. Everything it traveled through would be reduced to a pile of charred ashes. Lava flowed aimlessly on the ground’s surface.

“Everyone in the fortress city, stop hiding and come out! If you come out now, I can still let you go. Otherwise, all of you will die. I’ll count to three. If you don’t come out, I’ll head to the other nearby cities. You don’t want to watch us destroy the surrounding cities, one by one, right? Your family might be there.

After the bombardment had no effect, Beta raised three fingers to the heavens and glanced around for any hints. Unfortunately, nothing changed in the surroundings. On the contrary, the two elves in charge of the search approached him and shook their heads.

“I’m sorry, Lord Beta. We have looked around the area. We found no signs of the fortress city, whether in the sky or on the ground. We did not even find any evidence of magical fluctuations in the area.

“If you can’t find it, then continue searching. We’ll wait until you find it.”

Beta was dissatisfied with his subordinates. Just as he was ready to say something else, one of the elves raised his head in disbelief. “Look, Lord Beta, what is that?”

Beta turned around and saw a pitch-black meteor flying close to the ground behind him. If one looked closely, one would discover that it was not a meteor but a spherical city. A rumbling sound could be heard as it moved.

“What kind of city is that? Why does it look so strange and can move? Forget it. It’s not easy to see a city after entering the barrier. I can’t let it go. Maybe the people inside are related to the fortress city.”

With that in mind, Beta flew into the skies and fearlessly opened his arms toward the city that was approaching him. “I am sorry, I—”

With a loud bang, before Beta could even finish speaking, his entire body collided with the city that was flying past him.. His body exploded into a cloud of blood mist on the spot, just like a mosquito that was nailed to the wall by a fly swatter.
