In the shadows;
"Why has the one from the City of All Heavens... suddenly started recruiting citizens?"
"Perhaps he really suffered serious injuries while fighting his own shadow. He's hoarding resources to heal himself."
"Then..."
"Don't even think about it. As long as he remains within the City of All Heavens, ordinary methods are useless against him. Unless the people above are fools, they won't choose to launch an attack now."
"Everyone, continue with your tasks."
The shadows in the darkness dispersed.
Nong Si stepped out from somewhere, wearing a strange smile.
Nong Si had a clear understanding of his own strength. He did not care about ordinary Heavenly Being Third Decay opponents.
Against a Heavenly Being Fourth Decay opponent, he could escape if he used every method at his disposal.
But judging from Chen Yi's current record, killing him would not require much trouble.
That was why Nong Si had kept himself hidden ever since arriving in this world, afraid Chen Yi would come looking for him.
He had killed quite a few Fire Mages during the previous war.
If word reached Chen Yi's ears, even if it was not trouble, it would become trouble.
Nong Si quickly transformed into someone else. The man rubbed his temples. "I drifted off again. The Abyss's influence on me is getting more serious. I have to finish the mission quickly and leave this world as soon as possible."
Two months soon passed.
Half a month earlier, the players had repelled the invading mages, destroyed a Mage Tower, and killed several hundred million artificial monsters.
After those monsters died, their blood dyed millions of kilometers of land black.
Then Chen Yi burned it all away, leaving behind a bottomless pit.
Ling Changjing lay sprawled across the conference table like a dead fish.
