Chapter 682, The Shadow Dragon Human King Strikes!

Translator: Silavin

 

It could be said that after walking this half-day journey, most of Cherry Blossom Country’s Players had their fighting spirit worn down by seventy to eighty percent.

 

If they could, they would return. They never wanted to stay in such a place devoid of sunlight.

 

Here, black mist shrouded everything, causing their Attributes to dramatically plummet, and within this black mist, Monster continuously appeared, threatening lives.

 

Was this place truly the Territory of a single Level 70 Player?

 

Never mind one person, even if there were a thousand Level 70 Players here, they would struggle to escape death!

 

If it were not for the presence of so many Players above Level 100 at the scene, these Low Level Players would have fled for their lives.

 

Soon, they had advanced to the depths of Shadow Isle.

 

Before them loomed Torn Ancient City.

 

They were at the edge of the outer city, an area guarded by the Shadow Excavator.

 

Outside the outer city lay flat terrain, with countless graveyards scattered about, a sight that made people’s hearts race with anxiety.

 

Feather Country’s construction teams had helped Lu Fan rebuild Shadow Isle, but the rebuilt areas were merely the palace and its surrounding area.

 

The ancient city itself covered vast territory with much debris from torn buildings that could not be cleared away overnight.

 

Moreover, these places were considered part of the Wilderness, where Monsters openly spawned, protected by certain Map Mechanics, making changes difficult to implement.

 

Therefore, the environment here remained the same as when Lu Fan first arrived, unchanged.

 

Kage Tenshi arrived at this location and halted, gazing ahead with a sweeping glance.

 

With his Level, he could naturally sense that within these graveyards existed countless Monsters.

 

Simultaneously, within the ancient city, countless Monsters lay dormant, waiting for opportunities to emerge.

 

Indeed, Lu Fan had gathered most of Shadow Isle’s Monster here.

 

Within the towering city walls, there appeared to be no movement whatsoever, but in reality, countless Monsters had assembled. Their numbers were dozens of times greater than what Cherry Blossom Country had brought!

 

Such a scene not only failed to cause Kage Tenshi any concern but actually made him smile.

 

“It appears this Dragon Tamer has only this much pawns remaining.” He checked the location of the mark. Indeed, it was not too far from his position.

 

Kage Mako stepped forward beside him, asking. “Master, have you discovered something?”

 

Kage Tenshi nodded. “En, we shall soon capture that Dragon Tamer. He’s within this ancient city. Once we pass through this ancient city, we’ll see him.”

 

“He has concentrated all the Monsters from his Territory here. It appears he intends a desperate final stand to block our advance. From this, it seems he has already played his last card. Apart from these Monsters, he has no other force to utilise. We need only break through this obstacle before us, and I believe he’ll have no other means to protect himself.”

 

Upon hearing this, Kage Mako was greatly pleased and bowed his head. “Then Master, shall we charge in now?”

 

Kage Tenshi nodded. “Let them charge. Directly open the gates into the ancient city. This is merely an area of around Level 90 Monsters. Before our people, they amount to nothing. Some casualties are to be expected among those Lower Levelled. But they do not matter. They’re merely cannon fodder anyway. Pay them no mind.”

 

“Yes, I’ll go give the orders now!” Kage Mako nodded, then turned back to meet with the Four Patriarchs, issuing commands to continue advancing, for them to charge into the ancient city.

 

Thus, their main force advanced once more, entering the vast open space before the ancient city.

 

Indeed, as the crowd set foot there, graveyards exploded one by one, Shadow Walker appearing in succession, pouncing toward their forces.

 

*Roar!*

 

Accompanied by a deafening roar, from behind the city gates, a Shadow Excavator also swung its massive pickaxe as they charged out. With each strike against the ground, more Shadow Walker burst forth.

 

In the sky, Shadow Death Siren also released piercing shrieks, beginning indiscriminate attacks on this group of invaders.

 

In an instant, on the originally spacious and quiet open ground, intense battles erupted.

 

Not only the Monster originally guarding this place, but Shadow Sky Ripper appearing from deeper within also scaled the city walls to join the battlefield.

 

This way, the battle became as lively as a nation war, with Skill Effects rising and falling continuously, and Players and Monster constantly being wounded or even killed.

 

Those from Cherry Blossom Country were actually all experts, but unfortunately, the Shadow Mist here limited their abilities too severely. Facing such numerous Monster charges, they found it increasingly difficult to resist, suffering two to three hundred casualties from the first wave alone!

 

However, soon, as Fourth Profession Players and Level 100 Players took action, the situation temporarily stabilised.

 

Among their people, there were truly too many Level 100 Players. With them present, even with Shadow Mist assistance, Shadow Isle’s Monster found it difficult to gain the advantage.

 

Therefore, the slaughter between both sides temporarily fell into a stalemate.

 

*Roar!* A resounding Dragon Roar suddenly rang out within the battlefield, causing many to be startled.

 

They wondered, [Could it be that the Dragon Tamer had arrived!?]

 

However, when everyone looked toward the source of the sound, they discovered it was not a Giant Dragon appearing.

 

Although it was not a Giant Dragon, the scene everyone witnessed would remain unforgettable for their life.

 

They saw a Level 100 Player pierced through the chest by an invisible giant sword, held high into the sky.

 

This Level 100 Player’s mouth wildly spurted blood. After struggling briefly, he fell still, killed instantly.

 

After his death, the massive blade swung once, casting his corpse aside.

 

Only then did the attacking Monster reveal its form.

 

This was a Boss not particularly enormous but possessing extreme presence. The Epic Boss denotation above its head reading, Level 105 made hearts tremble even more.

 

No wonder it could instantly kill a Level 100 Player. This was a Level 105 Epic Boss!

 

The Shadow Dragon Human King, having struck successfully, vanished once more into darkness.

 

Some Level 100 Players, seeing a companion as powerful as themselves killed instantly, immediately realised this Boss posed far too great a threat to them.

 

Everyone began releasing their Detection Skill, attempting to locate it.

 

However, while they could see through ordinary Monster’ Concealment, how could they possibly see through Shadow Dragon Human King’s Concealment?

 

Even Lu Fan’s Black Dragon Perception had nearly failed to locate him, let alone these ordinary Level 100 Players.

 

Soon, another Level 100 Player was directly killed instantly by the Shadow Dragon Human King, dying in an extremely miserable state.
