Avis flew at high speed, reaching Dragonblood Highlands two hours later.
On the outskirts, a small city had sprung up.
Avis's massive form cast a shadow over the city, causing the players within to panic and rush to the city walls, as if preparing for battle.
"Don't be afraid! That's Godslayer's pet; it's here to help us," soone on the wall recognized Avis and quickly reassured the others.
Even knowing Avis ant no harm, the players couldn't fully relax. The sheer pressure of its presence was overwhelming, far beyond what they could withstand.
Avis circled above the city like a show of strength before finally landing with a thunderous crash.
The commotion had already alerted Flow of Ti, who imdiately led her people to the city gate to greet them.
"John, another beauty!" Sini nudged John's arm, winking playfully.
John quickly replied, "I'm not interested in beauties. Having you is enough."
Sini giggled at his response.
Ritchie, standing nearby, scoffed. He knew that John already had four beauties around him.
Sini, Tracy, the elven saintess Anna, and the proud princess Ada from the Gates Empire. "Ritchie, long ti no see," Flow of Ti greeted with a smile, then turned her gaze to John and Sini, asking curiously, "And who are these two?"
"Malina," Ritchie quickly introduced them, "This is Godslayer and Sini."
Flow of Ti, whose real na was Malina, was the eldest daughter of the Smith Family, which was also a military force. Although she hadn't joined the military, she leveraged her family's background to establish a company, Phoenix Group, which focused on agricultural products and was known for its commitnt to helping farrs and alleviating poverty.
"Pleasure to et you," Malina said, her eyes lingering on John for a mont.
John found himself captivated by Malina.
She had an incredibly beautiful face, a tall and slender figure, and a cold, elegant deanor. She was dressed in a battle robe paired with black stockings, a striking combination.
John couldn't help but stare at her long, beautiful legs and curiously asked, "Does the world of Gods have stockings too?"
The others were montarily stunned.
Sini glared at John fiercely.
Ritchie even took a step back, speechless.
John had just claid he wasn't interested in beauties, and now he was fixated on her stockings.
Malina frowned, clearly displeased, and her impression of John plumted. Ignoring John, she changed the subject and asked, "Where are the other soldiers?"
Ritchie replied, "Malina, it's just the three of us. With Godslayer, one person is enough." "One person is enough?" Malina clearly didn't believe it, her expression showing her displeasure. If she didn't know Ritchie well, she would have thought Godslayer was making fun of her.
She spoke up, "Let make one thing clear: I won't let my people die in vain. And if we fail to defend the city, I won't be paying the agreed compensation. Additionally, you'll have to reimburse with a City Building Order."
She had paid a hefty price for that City Building Order, and the Phoenix Legion had suffered heavy casualties. Failure was not an option in establishing the city.
John, growing impatient, urged, "Don't worry, nothing will go wrong. Go ahead and establish the city."
"Hmph!" Malina snorted coldly, her dissatisfaction with John growing.
Rude, arrogant, and ignorant-he was nothing like the strong and capable Godslayer she had imagined.
She glanced at Ritchie, said nothing more, and proceeded to establish the city.
[Announcent: Player Flow of Ti has established Phoenix City. Successfully defend against the monster tide for 12 hours to complete the city's construction.]
...
The announcent echoed three tis.
Over the past few days, many cities had already been established, so players were not as excited as they had been earlier.
Roar...
As soon as the announcent ended, a chorus of furious roars erupted, shaking the ground, toppling trees, and sending countless powerful elental Dragon Monsters charging out from the mountains and forests.
On the city walls, the players were tense, gripping their weapons tightly.
Most of them were only third-tier in strength, with just a few fourth-tier warriors among them. Facing the overwhelming numbers of elental Dragon Monsters, they were clearly outmatched.
"Master, should I step in?" Avis asked eagerly, eyeing the elental Dragon Monsters. He had a bloodline advantage over these creatures and was itching to fight.
"No need, I'll handle this myself," John replied as he stepped forward, the Sword of Divinity and Demons appearing in his hand.
Malina was puzzled. This guy was a Wrath of the Gods mage-why wasn't he using a staff and instead wielding a longsword?
Rumbling...
The ground trembled as tens of thousands of elental Dragon Monsters charged forward, their montum overwhelming.
Malina couldn't help but swallow nervously. She glanced at Ritchie and asked again, "Ritchie, now is not the ti for showing off. Are you sure this guy can hold off the monster tide all by
himself?"
"Don't worry, Malina. I wouldn't mislead you," Ritchie replied confidently, without a hint of doubt in John's abilities.
Sini, standing nearby, shot an annoyed glare at Malina. The way this woman referred to John was clearly irritating her.
At that mont, the elental Dragon Monsters had already reached John.
Only then did he calmly raise his longsword.
Whoosh...
A fierce wind swept through, and a massive surge of fire elental energy erupted.
As the longsword ca down, it unleashed an overwhelming sea of flas.
Advanced magic, Hellfire!
Not only that, but it triggered a Spell Combo, causing flas to surge even higher, engulfing the entire army of elental Dragon Monsters.
Roar...
Roars of agony echoed as waves of damage numbers flickered in the air.
-429200
-428309
...
All were terrifying critical hits, instantly obliterating the fourth-tier elental Dragon Monsters with no resistance.
[You have slain a level 130 elental Dragon Monster, gaining 1240 experience points.]
[Plunder talent activated, spell critical 1.]
[Plunder talent activated, spirit 1.]
[Plunder talent activated, skill point 1.]
...
The notification ssages kept popping up as over twenty thousand elental Dragon Monsters were wiped out, leaving behind a field of loot-fourth-tier premium equipnt, skill stones, equipnt enhancent stones, and socketing gems scattered all over.
These elental Dragon Monsters, being magical creatures, had given John a significant boost in spirit attributes and skill points through his Plunder talent.
On the city walls, the players stood in stunned silence.
"So strong!"
"Is this the power of the top-ranked player?"
"I feel like I'm not even worthy of one of his fingers."
"Bro, am I dreaming? Slap ," one player said to the guy next to him.
Slap!
A loud smack echoed.
"Ow! Did you have to hit so hard?"
"You asked for it," ca the reply.
It followed by a wave of cursing from the walls.
Malina, witnessing this scene, couldn't help but swallow nervously.
"Damn it, he really showed off this ti!" She watched John's solitary, proud figure, now sowhat resembling the image of a true powerhouse.
But despite this, she still didn't feel any warmth toward him.
"This is just the first wave of the monster tide. There's no way this guy can hold them all off!"
she thought to herself, then quickly realized.
"Wait, this is my city! As much as I dislike this guy, I still hope he can fend off the monster
tide." She prayed silently, though her attention was soon drawn to the scattered loot.
Malina began to regret agreeing to Ritchie's terms.
All that loot consisted of premium fourth-tier gear, skill stones, and other valuable items. If
it were hers, it would significantly enhance the strength of the players in Phoenix City. She looked at Ritchie and hesitated before saying, "Ritchie, how about we split the loot?"
Ritchie imdiately refused, "Malina, we agreed on this beforehand. Besides, if it were just , I might agree. But you hired Godslayer, not just !"
"I was just suggesting," Malina frowned, feeling frustrated. She glanced at John, who was enjoying himself on the battlefield, and felt even more displeased.
Her eyes shifted as she said, "How about this-I'll have my people help clean up the battlefield? You're our guests, after all. We can't have you doing that."
Ritchie was speechless; he could easily guess what Malina was thinking. He glanced at Sini.
But she didn't seem to care, so he finally said, "Alright. Let your people help with the cleanup,
but don't overstep."
"Understood," Malina replied with a smile. She then turned to the players on the wall, who were staring dreamily, and snapped, "Stop gawking and get down here to clean up the
battlefield!"
The players snapped out of their daze and quickly scurried down to collect the loot.
Malina didn't forget to remind them, "Rember, these items belong to Godslayer. Don't you dare pocket anything. Got it?"
She emphasized the last few words, making her point clear.
Sini shot Malina an annoyed look, feeling that this woman was getting more and more
presumptuous.
However, she didn't interfere. As long as no one blatantly stole anything, she was willing to
turn a blind eye.
...
The battlefield was soon cleared, and the loot was sorted and neatly piled to one side.
Malina frowned, feeling as though the amount of loot hadn't diminished at all.
She stopped one of the players and whispered, "Did anyone pocket anything?" The player, looking righteous, quickly assured her, "Boss, don't worry. These belong to the
great Godslayer. I wouldn't dream of taking anything."
"You idiot, get lost!" Malina snapped, frustrated at his obliviousness. She had hinted so
clearly, yet he still didn't get it.
Unable to stand it any longer, Sini spoke up, "Alright, everyone pick one set of equipnt that
suits you, and don't touch the rest."
The Saint Martial Sect and Fla City didn't lack equipnt, so giving so to these players
wasn't excessive.
"Thank you, my lady! Thank you!"
The players were overwheld with gratitude and showered Sini with thanks.
Malina glared at Sini, feeling that this woman was challenging her authority.
At that mont, the second wave of the monster tide hit, once again consisting of elental
Dragon Monsters, but this ti they were even stronger, with levels exceeding 150.
However, they were still no match for John.
Hellfire engulfed the battlefield, and once again, tens of thousands of fiery Dragon Monsters
were instantly annihilated.
Malina watched in dismay.
She was a mage too, and a powerful one at that, with a hidden class-Fla Mage, specializing in fire magic. But compared to John, she felt utterly insignificant. It must be because of his higher level and that divine weapon!
She consoled herself, having already guessed that the longsword in John's hand was the
Sword of Divinity and Demons.
She also noticed the change in the level rankings; Godslayer was still number one, having
leveled up from 179 to 181.
The speed of his level-up was astonishing.
Tempted, Malina hesitated for a mont before sending John a party invite.
[Ding! Player Godslayer has declined your party invitation.]
