The situation in the Humans' main city, Blessed City, was a little chaotic. Yes, as mentioned before, the entire city was filled with inexplicable deaths. Moreover, they were the kind of deaths that came without any warning. They were the kind that suddenly died while walking. They weren't attacked at all, and they didn't even lose any HP. In any case, it was a sudden death. At first, the number of deaths was not high. However, the number of deaths quickly increased, causing chaos in the entire city.
"What's going on? Why did I suddenly die in the safe zone? What's going on? Is there a bug in the game? What kind of messed up situation is this? Can this game still be played? "
"Didn't you see that the player was killed by Ruolin? I heard that Brother Awesome used his ultimate skill in the arena. "
"What? Ultimate skill? Why did I die here? I don't feel like I was attacked at all. The arena is on the west side of the city. How could it affect me here? "
"I don't know. I can't enter the arena. It's said on Weibo." Of course, the players were also confused. Most of them did not know what happened. All they knew was that people were discussing it on the internet, but they did not know the specifics.
"Damn it. I've been farming for two days and only got 7%. Now I've died and lost 10%. How am I supposed to play? I'll f * ck your Brother Awesome. "
Of course, because of this, Li Huailin also attracted a lot of hatred. The average level of the players was very high. The price of dying was also getting higher. In the past, they could regain their level in half a day. Now, they needed to train for a few days to regain their level. Of course, this caused a lot of resentment.
Of course, the situation on the NPCs' side was even more exaggerated. They didn't even know what had caused this. They really didn't know. Then, someone died inexplicably. This had caused a huge panic, and it was even on the verge of causing a riot. Many civilians saw the situation and thought that it was a foreign invasion. Many of them began to retreat out of the city. As more and more people retreated, the city began to fall into chaos. Regarding this, the Palace was also having a headache.
"Have you found the cause of the incident?" The one who spoke was the eldest princess, Su Lan, Anthony's younger sister. She was one of the two remaining members of the royal bloodline. Currently, Sulan was the regent in the palace. Yes, Anthony had gone on an expedition. The emperor himself had gone on an expedition. Their destination was another continent, Schenkheim. Of course, there was no need to talk about the situation in Schenkheim for the time being. Before the expedition, Anthony had also handed over the management of Schenkheim to Su Lan. At present, there was no major war in the Hua Xia continent. In theory, there should be no major problems, so he was assured to let Su Lan govern the country. But he did not expect this to happen.
Of course, Su Lan was also dumbfounded. When she reported that someone had suddenly died on the road, she did not pay much attention to it until the same thing happened in the palace. Soon, everyone realized that things were not as simple as they seemed. This could be a major incident. Perhaps an enemy had invaded and released dark magic. However, until now, no one had found out who did it. The number of deaths was gradually increasing, and the whole city began to fall into chaos.
"Reporting, Your Royal Highness. We found a black aura on the body of the deceased. It is something similar to the aura of death. Then, this aura seems to have been absorbed by someone. Its destination is the arena in the west of the city. It seems that someone over there has used this kind of dark magic," the guard reported.
"Dark magic? Could it be the Demons? " Su Lan thought for a moment and said, "It is said that the former emperor of the Demons, Baizera, was released by the emperor of the continent. After that, he has been secretly preparing a plan to restore his country. This incident may have something to do with them."
"Your Royal Highness, although we do not know what kind of dark magic the other party used, it seems that we can't stop it for now. It seems that this dark magic has affected the whole city. I hope that Your Royal Highness will leave the palace immediately," Dernate said to Su Lan.
"Me leaving the palace?" Su Lan was slightly stunned. "No, my brother has temporarily entrusted this country to me. Now that there is a problem, if I am the first to retreat, how can I be worthy of my brother's blessing?"
"No, Your Royal Highness," Dernate immediately said. "This is also to protect the strength of the empire. You know that now that His Majesty is not here, you are the representative of the royal family. If Your Royal Highness leaves this city, everyone will leave with you. If you continue to stay here, no one will dare to leave before you. With the current situation, we are not sure if we can break this dark magic, so Your Royal Highness should lead the ministers to retreat. This will prevent large-scale casualties. If something happens to these pillars of the empire, we will not be able to find so many people to replace them in a short period of time. The entire empire may face a greater crisis."
"I see." Su Lan wasn't stupid either. She immediately understood what Delnate meant. Yes, if she didn't retreat, the officials wouldn't dare to leave. She was now the acting emperor of the kingdom. If they abandoned the emperor and ran away, would they be able to live if they pursued the matter? However, it was different if the emperor wanted to leave. Since the emperor had given the order, of course they could retreat. But the problem was that this was equivalent to letting Su Lan take the blame. If the emperor ran away, it was equivalent to giving up on the capital. This was too big of a problem. When the real emperor returned, Su Lan would be the one to take the blame. The other ministers were only obeying Su Lan's order and retreating. They would not be blamed.
"I understand." Su Lan thought for a while and confirmed that Dernate was right. They did not know what was going on with this dark magic. Although they had already sent the court mages to investigate the situation, whether or not they could dispel it was another question. Right now, they had to protect the empire's talents. Anthony should understand this, so Su Lan immediately said, "Pass down my order. Everyone, prepare to retreat immediately."
"Yes, Your Royal Highness." Dernate immediately nodded and ordered the soldiers beside him to pass down the order.
The palace was ready to retreat, but as the source of the problem, most of the people in the Arena were still there. Most of the people in the arena knew that this was Li Huailin's doing. Although they didn't know what skill Li Huailin had used to cause random deaths around him, they also knew that they might die as well. However, the problem was that they still wanted to continue watching the match. Between Awesome Bro and Heaven's Corner, who would win? They really wanted to know.
After a moment of panic, only a small number of players chose to leave and ran for their lives. The majority of the audience wanted to continue watching the competition. They wanted to know the results of the competition. Besides, besides such a huge incident, the competition officials would probably compensate them. They might even be able to get some money back. As for now, they wanted to watch the competition first.
On the arena, Li Huailin was still floating in the air, and Ghostly Light was still floating in front of him. In front of them, Heaven's Corner was still confronting him with the white giant. At this time, more and more black gas appeared around them, and all of them began to rush towards Li Huailin. Seeing this situation, Heaven's Corner knew that he could not wait any longer. The other party seemed to be preparing something, and he had to stop him no matter what.
With a thought, the white giant raised its greatsword and slashed at Li Huailin in the air. However, this was only a tentative attack. Heaven's Corner was not sure what was going on with Li Huailin, so he decided to attack first.
"Clang!" At this moment, a sudden change occurred. As Heaven's Corner's greatsword slashed towards Li Huailin's body, a huge black hand suddenly appeared in front of Li Huailin and directly grabbed the greatsword. This black hand appeared in front of Li Huailin's floating light.
Yes, at this time, a crack suddenly appeared in front of the light. This crack was almost the same as the crack that Li Huailin used to open in the Mana World. However, this time, the crack was filled with darkness, and this black hand reached out from the crack and instantly grabbed the greatsword.
"Hmm?" Heaven's Corner was slightly taken aback, then prepared to pull out his sword. Yes, at this time, the greatsword was grabbed by the other party, so Heaven's Corner tried to pull it back, but after using a little bit of force, he was unable to pull it out. This black hand tightly gripped the longsword, and its strength was so great that even Heaven's Corner couldn't move it.
Heaven's Corner didn't know what to do for a while, but at this moment, the black hand suddenly exerted force and actually began to pull Heaven's Corner. Yes, the other party was obviously trying to pull Heaven's Corner towards him, and the strength it exerted was especially great, almost causing Heaven's Corner to lose his balance. Fortunately, Heaven's Corner reacted quickly enough and managed to stop.
Although Heaven's Corner suddenly stopped, the huge force was still pulling Heaven's Corner towards Li Huailin. At the same time, a large number of black hands directly rushed out from the crack, but their target wasn't Heaven's Corner, but the audience on the side.
"This is …" Heaven's Corner was taken aback, and before he knew what was going on, he suddenly heard a voice from the side.
"Let go!"
