Chapter 336: Thunder God Hammer (1/2)
Rustle...
I walked near the border of Sky Forest. Nearby, there was an NPC farm. The breeze blew through the wheat fields, causing wheat stalks to sway. The wind carried the scent of the field and made people feel relaxed.
I carried the Purgatory Sword slanted across my armored back. I held a wooden stick in one hand as I confidently plucked a green leaf from the roadside and chewed it as I used the stick to beat the inky green flowers along the bushes. I was in an extremely good mood.
……
I looked down. The dragon scales of my obsidian armor gleamed under the light. I couldn't help but touch my chest. A trembling voice echoed in my mind—
”Since I’m leaving tomorrow, I’m going to leave a permanent spell in your soul. From this moment onward, no matter where you go, no matter who you choose to marry in the future, you will always think about me on a rainy day, and your heart will hurt slightly because of it.”
……
I shuddered and froze there. He Yi's face and smile appeared in my mind. She was on the other side of the ocean now? Was she happy today?
While my heart wasn't in pain, I could clearly sense that I missed her greatly in less than 10 hours. Maybe, having He Yi always by me for a fortnight was a luxury. He Yi was the GGS Asia’s Vice President. A woman like this couldn’t be held down by one person. At least, she could not always keep me company.
Whoosh...
I exhaled. When I looked up, I found a soaring black city standing in the valley in front of me. It was just a bit smaller than Sky City. However, it was better than Floating Ice City. The walls were dozens of meters high and extremely thick. The defensive ability of this city far surpassed Floating Ice City!
I summoned the Sky Obsidian Greedy Wolf. It was already Level 68 now. This couldn't have been avoided as it had died a few times in the divine site battles.
The Sky Obsidian Greedy Wolf howled softly as it closely followed me. Its eyes looked with some fear toward Violet City. It seemed to be innately terrified of this city that belonged to the undead. The little wolf was an Epic Rank boss pet. It would definitely be cautious of undead beings. Also, it was so low-level that some NPCs could easily kill it. It would be strange if it wasn't afraid.
I patted the little wolf's head and said, ”Don't be afraid, you’re one of ours!”
The little wolf became much calmer and started to sway its head.
……
I showed the insignia of the Blood Dance Legion on my shoulder and easily entered the city. I sprinted until I reached the front of the palace. I looked up. A statue of an enormous blood-colored sword seemed to charge into the sky from the inner courtyard of the palace. This represented the coldness and resilience of the Blood Dance Legion. This structure was so magnificent it rivaled Sky City!
Before even entering the palace, the two guards knelt on one knee respectfully and said, ”Sir!”
I didn’t speak and led the little wolf into the palace. My military rank in the Blood Dance Legion seemed to have reached the fifth rank, Ash Knight. I counted as a local official. Mn, this felt so good. I could enter the city unimpeded!
I trekked through the forest paths. When I reached the outside of the palace hall, a group of high-level undead guards were standing on two sides. They looked at me with fierce expressions, their gazes flashing with distrust and doubt.
I was careful and continued to advance forward with a dark expression. I went up the stairs into the hall. As expected, there were no thrones in the hall, just Princess Sophia standing under the emblem of the Violet Empire as she looked down on the officials at the side with a hand on her sword.
When I walked into the hall, an NPC soldier immediately came over. It was the Shadow Dancer, Xue Wei!
”You came!”
Xue Wei nodded and smiled. ”Her Majesty has frequently mentioned you to me. I hadn't expected you to come here today!”
I nodded. ”Xue Wei, where is Xinran?”
”Lady Wind Singer?”
Xue Wei stilled and gave a secretive smile. ”Lady Wind Singer is in a holy place, and temporarily cannot meet you...”
I insisted. ”But I want to meet her...”
”Then...” Xue Wei hesitated and sighed. ”Never mind. She should be willing to see you. Come with me!”
”Yes!”
Xue Wei led me out of the hall to the magic altar behind the hall. Then she said to the old white-haired mages. ”Come, open the teleportation formation to the God Domain!”
”Yes, my lord!”
The old mages began casting a spell and the light of their magic power flowed into the magic stone. An enormous presence of magic surged toward the center of the formation. Soon after, the teleportation formation took form. Xue Wei laughed softly. ”Come with me!”
”Yes.”
I was shocked inside. God Domain? Why would Xinran be in the God Domain? Wasn't the God Domain the highest level the players pursued? What’s going on?
……
I stepped into the magic formation full of doubts. In the next moment, my body was torn apart into light that traveled through space!
Whoosh!
It was dark. I had reached another world!
I looked up and was stunned. It was a vast and miserable valley in front of me. The valley was full of corpses, and not ones belonging to humans. Did this seem like a God Domain? It was... like a divine graveyard. The dead were not ordinary people, but ancient gods!
Seeing my shocked expression, Xue Wei smiled and pointed at an enormous corpse nearby with a giant sword. The corpse was about ten meters tall, and looked like a statue. The blood and flesh had rotted to leave behind white bones glinting with silver light. However, the intimidating majesty still remained. The golden armor had not been erased by time.
