Chapter 318 - Collapse of the Ladros City: Luck

The commander of the royal guard saw an old man meditating in a lotus position.

This old man was one of the two deities that were protecting this kingdom for a long time. They were present at the founding day of the Hebrei Kingdom.

He was his senior.

The commander was just a newly promoted god and there’s a lot of things that he didn’t know in the circle of gods.

After a few moments, the old man opened his eyes and his gaze landed on the commander.

"You’re here because of that energy wave, right?" The old man said in a deep tone.

"Yes." The commander nodded his head.

"One is a monster lord and the other one is a god. Their powers are beyond ours. Even if we worked together we wouldn’t be able to fight one of them." The old man said to the commander.

"That strong...!!" The commander was shocked when he heard the words of the old man.

"Yes, you can feel it right? That’s not a normal god and monster lord." The old man paused for a moment before he added, "We can’t hope to fight them. I suggested that we request help from one of the three great countries."

"How can that be...? Just who are they?!" The commander exclaimed.

"As you can see being a god is not the end... There are many levels of god and we’re both at the bottom while the two that are fighting there are at the top. You can consult Rensman if you want to know more about it." The old man said before he closed his eyes and started to meditate.

For him, there’s no point in interfering against that scale of battle. He could just sacrifice that city and protect the other.

The commander of the royal guard clenched his fist and gritted his teeth in frustration.

Ladros City was his home town and he grew up in the Ladro Institute. When he felt the energy wave from a god, he quickly went here to ask for help because he knew that he wasn’t a match for that god’s power.

...

The Underground King was thrown sixteen thousand feet above the surface. He suffered injuries from Leo’s powerful spell.

"This guy is the strongest that I’ve faced in my entire life." He was shocked to find that one god could handle him alone.

Even the god who sealed him thousand years ago couldn’t be compared to this one.

’Is this the level of god at this age?’

He didn’t think that Leo was exceptional among the gods in this world. Leo was one of the most powerful gods and he thought that this god was pretty average in this era.

What can he do? This was the first god he met after he became free.

Leo smirked as he looked at the Underground King who was thrown in the sky.

"This guy is a tough one."

He muttered before he flew in the sky as he chased the monster lord.

’I’ll take this monster lord out of this kingdom. I will come back later to see the forbidden soul arts from legends.’

He arrived in front of the monster lord and throw a barrage of powerful punches which blasted the Underground King away once again.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

...

Souta looked up in the sky. He could only see a small dot in the sky and that was the Underground King. The battle continued to move upwards but the shockwaves could still be felt in this place.

He didn’t know why but it felt as if Leo was taking the Underground King away from this place. He just realized that he was lucky that was still alive.

Even though he was a player in the game, he still didn’t know a lot of things that happened before. He didn’t even know that the Underground King was sealed in Ladros City. He just knew that the Underground King was a powerful monster lord.

Now that this happened, he also realized that he didn’t know where the other two kings came from.

The Sky King and Sea King.

He just knew that they would appear but he couldn’t prevent this event. He could only prepare himself for the upcoming big event in the future.

This event was the start of it. It will continue to grow until it became a world-level event.

Argh!!

Souta turned around as he heard a low growl behind him. He saw hundreds of low-level undead were looking at him with bloodshot eyes.

"Oh? I completely forgot these guys..." A smile formed on his face as he pulled out the vajra sword from its sheath.

These were free souls and exp for him. It’s better for him to take care of all these undead as soon as possible so that he could slay some of the Deadly Sins forces before they could retreat.

He was sure that the Deadly Sins was going to retreat as a monster lord and a god appeared. These two variables weren’t within their plan so they must be pissed at this moment. Plus, the six seven-circle officers were slain by him.

They wouldn’t expect it. A mere B-rank to kill their seven-circle officers.

Souta charged his energy in the sword before he slashed the nearest group of undead.

Dozens of undead were sliced into two by his attack. They were weak and slow. Souta estimated that their level was between five to twenty.

He was currently level 36 and possessed a universal grade artifact and dark grade weapon so the gap in their strength was too large.

He continued to move forward while swinging his sword left and right. Every time he swung his sword, dozens of heads will fly in the mid-air.

...

After ten minutes, Souta finished slaying all the undead in this place. He gained a huge amount of souls and exp from slaying them.

Huff... Huff...

His breath was ragged and beads of sweat formed on his forehead. He was exhausted after fighting nonstop ever since the Deadly Sins appeared in this city.

He only had one-eighth of his mana and stamina. He felt that he would collapse at any moment.

"Damn, I’ve used all my health and mana potion." Souta cursed as he felt that his pocket was empty.

[Harvester of the Soul]: Soul Collected (Right Piece): 1,500/1,500

Once again, he filled the soul requirements of his right earring. He used this to increase his intelligence making it 957 points. Just a little bit more and he would reach 1,000 points.

Souta looked in the sky and narrowed his eyes. The energy of the two was getting faint. It seems that they were getting further from this city.

This city narrowly escaped destruction from the Underground King’s hands.

’I have a feeling that that man will come back for you, Souta. Be careful.’ Saya said to him.

"Yeah, me too. It felt that he was protecting this city from the Underground King." Souta replied as he shook his head. He was about to leave when he heard a sound in his head.

*Ding!*

[The Quest Battle in the Ladros City has been completed!]

[Calculating the rewards...]

[Calculation completed!]

[You’ve received 390,000 exp, 39 skill points, and 135 free attribute points!]

*Ding!*

[You’ve level up!]

[You’ve received 2 free attribute points and 1 skill point!]

[Your Strength attribute has increased by 15!]

[Your Agility, Dexterity, Intelligence, and Vitality have increased by 10!]

Souta nodded with a satisfied expression. His hard work was paid by getting all of this reward. The exp that he received wasn’t that large but he received a lot from killing the seven-circle officers. But the exp he received from this quest was enough for him to reach the next level.

He was a level 37 mutated goblin corruptor. If not for this event, he wouldn’t be able to earn millions of exp in just a single day. It was getting hard to increase his level.

At his current level, he needed millions of exp just to increase his level by one. That’s why it took ten years before the players reached level 80.

For level 80 players, the level wasn’t important anymore. What’s important was the grade of equipment, the amount of skill, and the level of skills. These will decide the outcome of the battle for the same level.

Souta was already satisfied that he reached level 37 and a year hasn’t even passed ever since he arrived in this world. Level 38 was next and then he will use the two level-up cards that he received from the quest in Ibish Village.

But leveling to 38 will take a long time. He needed millions of exp and he needed a lot of time to earn it. He was just lucky today that Randolf carried him and let him deal the finishing blow to those seven-circle officers.

Souta shook his head and looked at his surrounding. The destruction that occurred in this city was familiar to him. He saw countless cities in the game that suffered the same destruction.

"I should go and check if Lumilia is fine."
