Chapter 1040: Feifei Didn’t Become a Hero (1/2)
The previous City Lord was an old man in his eighties, now feeble due to his deteriorating health. However, he still maintained his body density to a certain extent. Though, as he lacked an arm and both legs, he was frail, barely getting by.
Upon looking at Krune, the old man's eyes widened in surprise before he shouted, ”Praise the heavens! Our city's finally blessed with a savior!”
The old man was up and about in tears, seemingly delirious. Krune was confused at the reaction, looking at the City Lord in confusion.
The City Lord shouted in return, ”What the hell are you saying, father? I have told you many times. Our city's perfectly fine. We are able to hold our ground, and for the past decade, we have been pushing the demons back.”
”That's what they want you to believe.” The old man snapped back. ”All they need to trash our entire city is for a Black Demon to attack with twenty other Red Demons. With a Black Demon in the lead, it should deal enough damage to us.”
”We have the Godly Summons to rely upon in that case.” The City Lord snorted. ”Didn't you use the Godly Summons to push back a Black Demon that appeared forty years ago?”
”A Godly Summon…hah!” The old man snorted. ”What do you think a Godly Summon actually means? Huh?”
”It's our gift and trump card!” The City Lord argued.
”Idiot!” The old man snapped back. ”We're relying on the power of the gods to do that. Every time we do it, our city destabilizes a little. Ever since our city was established, we have used the Godly Summon nine times. If we use it a tenth time, our city would no longer be able to float atop the Abyssal Trench.”
”So, we 'e on our last line.” The old man grumbled, finally gazing at Krune as he continued, ”And, a hero is our only salvation.”
As he looked at Krune, he suddenly trembled, sensing the frightening presence Krune exuded, also noticing a sharp killing intent in his body. And only now did he see Hazak standing at the corner of the room, silently meditating while keeping its eyes closed. ”A Black Demon!”
”Hazak is with me,” Krune hastily said, watching the old man wheeze in pain, paranoid about seeing a Black Demon.
”Relax!” Krune aimed his hand towards the old man, unleashing a beam of light-filled with the healing effect, quickly calming the old man while also beginning to heal his injuries, swiftly curing him.
The old man looked at his limbs that had regenerated, amazed at them for a moment before he bowed on the ground. ”Thank you, Lord Savior.”
”You should have had enough Water Essences to heal yourself since you're strong. Why didn't you do it?” Krune asked soon after.
