It was an unforgettable scene

After the explosion, thick s fla and crying, dragging along their loved ones to escape this once bustling land Behind theions, and in the skies, a Dark Dragon circled a the world with its dark aura It was as though a drop of ink fell into a clear blue lake, producing a series of ripples which spread across the entire lake, polluting it with pitch black darkness Even the sun rays were divided and masked by a thick curtain of miasma

Rhode stood on the platform and recalled his past memories Back then, he was still an ordinary player and had never thought that an online gaainst the Dark Dragon’s invasion, do their levels to drop drastically In the end, they couldn’t stop the Dark Dragon and the advanceion They couldn’t even protect their hoht that this event was hest-leveled players level were only around level 50 while the regular ion were around level 40; even the chief leading the legion was a monster over level 60 With such a massive difference in both forces and levels, the players’ defeat was inevitable

As for Rhode, he was one of those the players with the highest level

To hinder the legion froht his way into the eneed to succeed twice out of his three attempts, but when he tried to attempt it for the fourth time, the system prompt informed him of a quest and was forcefully teleported to the last bastion of Golden City

The fortress was originally the holiest place in the Golden City Yet, what beauty it had left, was now a ment of its past Corpses were piled in the courtyard, and patches of fresh blood sullied the fortress walls

And at thatfrom behind

Rhode turned his head and saw Lydia slowly pacing towards hilittering golden silk weaved with silver threads which distinctly highlighted her authority On her waist, tords as beautiful and elegant as herself dangled freely

“This is my country, and my country is my responsibility Whomsoever resides in my country are hts to decide the fate of their lives In the nadom’s Monarch, hear my final decree! Each and every one of you must not only live on for yourself, but also for me Protect the people as they leave as it is my final command Heed my words — even until on to seize the lives of my people without my permission”

Lydia’s words resounded in Rhode’s mind even till now Until the very last moment of her life, the Monarch still treated her the country’s populace as her private possessions She was like a possessive child ould unhesitatingly beat anyone if they took her toys

Lydia did as she proels, Lydia possessed inco as the sun continued to shi+ne, Lydia couldn’t die She relied on this ability to resist the Country of Darkness’s 150,000 strong aron itself couldn’t defeat Lydia Just by herself, she succeeded in wiping out 50,000 undead and also wounding three of the four Legendary Generals, forcing them to escape from the battlefield

On the peak of a blood-stained hill, Lydia fulfilled her promise to the people

Due to the hard work and sacrifice of the Monarch, the Undead Legion’s advancement halted At sunset, the last boat fully-loaded with civilians and players finally left the port safely

She did it

A truly unforgettable scene

When Rhode approached the blood-stained hills, all around hi piles of undead which released an unbearable putrid s that was as thick as clouds

In the heart of the undead graveyard, Lydia knelt on a fresh patch of grass a woh as she stared conteion

Her beautiful dress was in tatters, and her once flawless body that was envied by many was now riddled with arrows and weapons Fresh blood trickled down fro her dress in crimson red

As the cold wind blew, the last few feathers detached froled

As Rhode approached, the woman slowly turned her head to his direction

“Is that so…?” Shehis answer, she revealed a dazzling smile of relief

Then, for the very first tiel lowered her prideful head

At this ht disappeared beyond the horizon A tiny silver flaulfed Lydia’s body After the fire dimmed, only tords were left in her wake

Rhode recorded this scene and uploaded onto the web later on Surprisingly, the video evoked violent reactions frodoht and Darkness pay

Meanwhile, Rhode went through a series of eive up his identity as a casual player
