11:31 AM
At this moment, in Safe Zone No. 2226, Bai Qiu stood atop the tower walls, looking down at the battle several kilometers away.
Magic power surged from his body, his overwhelming aura and pressure enveloping the entire black tower.
Before long, two figures climbed up onto the wall below.
They were the [Sage] and the [Alchemist] of Zone 2226.
The Sage had fair skin and sharp, elf-like ears—a handsome man in his early thirties.
The Alchemist, on the other hand, had the upper body of a mature, alluring woman, but below the waist extended a long snake tail.
Her yellow, slit pupils curiously examined Bai Qiu.
“You’re… a human adventurer?!” The Sage was shocked, not expecting someone emitting such extraordinary presence to be a human.
Without turning around, Bai Qiu spoke with his back to them:
“Six kilometers ahead, there are 114 people. The leaders are a man and a woman—the man carries a large shield, and the woman wields a white longsword.”
“Are they from Safe Zone No. 2226?” he asked, watching the unfolding chaos in the distance.
The snake-woman walked up beside him, peering in the direction he was facing.
“How come I can’t see anything?”
Hearing that, Bai Qiu turned his head and glanced at her.
His shattered gold eyes met her vertical pupils.
Though there was no particular emotion in them, the sheer authority they carried made her shudder involuntarily.
She instinctively stepped aside.
Truth be told, Bai Qiu was quite handsome—but those eyes inspired fear.
…
“Aggro Lock!”
“Iron Wall!”
“Stone Protection!”
Huang Yong roared, drawing the attention of all three Lord-class monsters.
But how could he possibly withstand the combined assault of three Lords?
In just a single exchange, the stone shield shattered, and even Iron Wall dissipated under the impact…
“Pfft!”
Huang Yong was sent flying nearly ten meters, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Just one clash—just a basic attack—and his defenses were instantly broken, leaving him with internal injuries!
“Quick! Anyone with healing skills, heal Ah Yong! Those with control abilities, restrain the Wyvern Lord!”
At the command, everyone hurried into action.
But the once orderly formation and relaxed atmosphere had now turned tense.
At the rear of the formation, a few people had already begun to quietly retreat, ready to flee at the first sign of danger.
After taking a healing potion, Huang Yong charged forward again, trying to hold off the three Dragonfang Lords.
But this time, without defensive skills, he was quickly sent flying once more.
The scattered attacks and abilities from the others could barely slow the Lords’ advance…
…
“That’s the current situation. If they don’t have any trump cards, this will most likely end in a total wipe—aside from those who run away mid-battle.”
Bai Qiu spoke calmly, almost like a live commentator.
Hearing this, the Sage immediately stepped forward and said, “Powerful adventurer, please—save your fellow humans!”
“First, remove all restrictions the Sanctum has placed on me. Even if I rush over now, it’ll already be too late… Oh? I thought he was dead—turns out that kid’s skills are back. Tough life, huh? But a few more just ran away. Now there are only 102 people left.”
Bai Qiu remained unmoved, arms crossed as he watched the battlefield six kilometers away, continuing his commentary.
“The restrictions have already been lifted—please act quickly! If they die, this Sanctum won’t survive the next wave!” the Sage urged, having removed some of the limitations placed on Bai Qiu as an outsider.
Bai Qiu nodded, took out Fallen Dragon’s Bow, then drew three arrows and nocked them onto the bow…
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
A few hundred meters outside Safe Zone 2226, a player stared at a heavily wounded battle-axe skeleton and grinned ferociously:
“The final hit—here it comes!”
But a dark red arrow pierced through the skeleton’s skull before he could strike.
“Wuuuu—!!”
Seeing this, he let out a sound like a blaring truck horn.
Not only that—the arrow even curved midair and shot toward a nearby Dragonfang Soldier that another player had been fighting.
After dragging out the fight for so long and just about to finish it off—it was suddenly kill-stolen by that arrow!
“Who did that?!!”
Many players looked around, trying to find the culprit.
…
“Pfft! Cough, cough!”
“Aggro Lock!”
“Berserk!”
Huang Yong was covered in blood.
He activated Aggro Lock once more, followed immediately by Berserk—doubling all his attributes temporarily, including his defense.
“Miss! Take the others and leave! I won’t be able to hold them for long!” Huang Yong shouted.
At this moment, no matter how anxious Huang Hailing was, she had no solution.
Her trump card could at most kill one Dragonfang Lord—and that only if someone had already reduced its defense first!
She was filled with regret.
She never expected three Lord-class monsters to spawn out of nowhere.
Now morale had collapsed—some had already fled, and those remaining were wavering, torn between escaping or holding their ground.
Even with doubled attributes, Huang Yong continued coughing up blood under the siege of the three Dragonfang Lords.
The large shield in his hands had begun to warp and crack…
…
“Interesting,” Bai Qiu murmured.
He had been observing the battlefield all along, and at this point, he knew Huang Yong was already at his limit.
After all, once Berserk ended, his attributes would be halved—he’d be no different from a lamb awaiting slaughter.
“Hey, handsome, hurry up and do something already!” the snake-woman urged anxiously.
She grabbed Bai Qiu’s arm and pressed herself against him, acting coquettishly.
Unfortunately, his armor prevented him from truly feeling the softness she tried to press against him.
“Back off. Stay away!” Bai Qiu shook her off, pushing her aside as he barked coldly.
The push flattened her chest slightly.
Just as she was about to flare up in anger, she suddenly felt a terrifying aura emanating from him.
“Whoosh…”
Dark infernal flames ignited across his armor, and even the Fallen Dragon’s Bow in his hand became engulfed in dark red fire.
The terrifying blend of flames and dark energy forced even the Sage to step back, while the snake-woman quickly slithered away.
Bai Qiu stepped forward to the edge of the wall, raised his longbow, and fixed his gaze on the battlefield six kilometers away as he drew the string.
He had already tested the range of Fallen Dragon’s Bow—its maximum range was 12 kilometers.
And the battlefield where Huang Hailing and the others were was only six kilometers away in a straight line!
Crack! Crack! Crack!
As the bowstring was drawn, the weapon let out a series of roaring sounds.
In an instant, powerful dark red flames wrapped around the black iron arrow!
Once the arrow was fully saturated with energy, Bai Qiu finally released his fingers.
In an instant, a dark red beam wrapped around the arrow, shooting out with terrifying power.
Boom!
Like a thunderclap exploding, both the Sage and the snake-woman nearby covered their ears at the same time.
Players within the Sanctum also turned to look toward the source of the deafening noise.
And then…
“My god… who was that?”
“Is that even archery? It feels more like a laser railgun!”
Boom!
Boom!
The players clutched their ears, staring in shock at the flaming figure standing atop the black tower’s wall within the Sanctum.
After firing three arrows, Bai Qiu withdrew his released magic power, put away the Fallen Dragon’s Bow, and headed straight for the teleportation device—leaving without a single glance back.
It was already afternoon.
After lunch, it was time to head to Guinelia’s place. Today, he still needed to develop an F+ grade mental power potion.
…
“Animiya, hurry—use your ocular technique to see what’s happening over there!” The elven Sage snapped back to his senses and quickly pushed the snake-woman toward the edge of the wall.
“Ow… that hurts…” The snake-woman rubbed her chest and muttered in complaint, but still looked into the distance, her eyes glowing red.
At this moment, six kilometers away, Huang Hailing stared at the three massive craters a hundred meters ahead, too shocked to speak.
What was that? She didn’t know.
All she saw were streaks of red light descending, striking the three Lord-class monsters—and in the next moment, all three were instantly killed.
Not even the slightest resistance.
Or rather, by the time they reacted, the arrows were already about to blow their heads apart.
These were Lord-class monsters!
They had forced over a hundred of them into a desperate situation, reduced Huang Yong to critical condition in an instant—and just when they were about to collapse… they died just like that?
Huang Hailing turned to look in the direction the beams had come from.
She had no idea who had done it, but as she glanced at the equipment and materials dropped on the ground, she couldn’t help but swallow nervously.
