Heroes' Prison

Chapter 452 - 442 Deep Sea Demon Shadow

"The God of Slaughter certainly lives up to his name, his killing spree is such that there’s nowhere to hide! Although we are far away in the spectator seats, we can still feel his aura of slaughtering enemies! He is like an enigma, one that outsiders will never fully understand the secrets he holds. In the individual match just now, he used something as shocking as an instant-kill potion! Now, he has pulled out the unheard-of Copy Skill! Such a man is simply invincible! I’m sorry, I can’t think of any words to describe him, I’m just too excited! Oh! Look quick, all the members of the Hall of Famous Generals have been killed, leaving only Zhuge Liang! The God of Slaughter is about to claim victory!"

After Huang Yi’s frenzied massacre, only Zhuge Liang, the mastermind behind the conspiracy, remained out of the more than three hundred experts of the Hall of Famous Generals. He designed this conspiracy himself, but now could only watch helplessly as his plans crumbled to failure.

At this moment, Huang Yi walked slowly towards Zhuge Liang with his axe in hand, and despite his slow pace, there was an invisible oppressive force with every step.

Zhuge Liang, staring at the approaching Huang Yi, felt as if a mountain was bearing down on him, rendering any form of resistance futile.

"God of Slaughter, I hadn’t expected that the tables would be turned by you in the end." Zhuge Liang took a deep breath and spoke to Huang Yi.

"If you hadn’t used the Thundering Guard, the outcome might have been different," Huang Yi said, and then he brought down a Heavy Judgment, smashing the powerless Zhuge Liang into pieces that scattered across the sky.

By this point, every member of the Hall of Famous Generals had been killed in battle. Huang Yi had used a copied "Thundering Guard" to completely turn the tide of the battle.

"[System Prompt]: Heroes’ Guild has won this battle, points +1, accumulating 5 points."

The next moment, the system’s announcement echoed throughout the venue, signalling the end of the longest match in history.

The screams from the audience also peaked at this moment, swelling towards Huang Yi like a tidal wave, crashing against his eardrums.

And so, a battle thought impossible to win was won!

Huang Yi looked around the entire arena, basking in the unending cheers, bowed to the audience, and then teleported out.

In a flash, Huang Yi found himself back at the plaza in front of the City Hall in Dragon City, which was already surrounded by a dense crowd of Hero Guild members.

"The president is invincible!" At this moment, the enthusiastic shouts of the Hero Guild’s members pierced the heavens! This match was one Huang Yi had won with his own power, a feat unprecedented in history. Who else could single-handedly take on an S-class team? Even Dragon Spike, Sharp Sword, and Heavenly Dao had never accomplished such a feat, but tonight, Huang Yi had done it!

"Big brother, we never expected those two moves you made, how did you have something like an instant-kill potion? And that you could copy the enemy’s skills too!" At that moment, allies like Sunset, Knight, and Light Demon gathered around, asking Huang Yi with voices filled with deep astonishment.

"It’s always good to have some secrets!" Huang Yi responded with a slight smile, offering no further explanation.

"It’s a shame about our hundred brothers’ Major Skills being wasted like that. Damn it, I wish we had saved them." Light Demon sighed with a tone laden with regret.

Some special skills, or Major Skills, usually have particularly long cooldowns, or they consume a great deal of Energy Value and can only be used occasionally, not frequently. Wasting them is the most regrettable thing.

Huang Yi patted him on the shoulder and consoled, "If our hundred brothers hadn’t used their Major Skills, Lv Bu wouldn’t have used Thundering Guard, and I wouldn’t have been able to copy it! Our hundred brothers’ Major Skills are just a bit stronger in their attack, not particularly useful. But Lv Bu’s Thundering Guard is a Major Skill with a special effect, wasting it would have been more regrettable. Not to mention that Great Qin Vanguard’s Illusion Skill is another with a special effect that got wasted too, and most importantly, they still didn’t win in the end. They won’t be able to use these skills for the next few days, their strength will be reduced significantly."

"Brother! You finally won, I haven’t eaten anything all day!" At that time, Xiao Chunzi and Qin Shiyu also walked over, Xiao Chunzi’s voice carrying a hint of weariness as she threw herself into Huang Yi’s arms, feeling somewhat sleepy. Qin Shiyu simply stood quietly, looking at Huang Yi with tender eyes.

"You guys better go offline and get some sleep, I’m going to rest offline too, bye," said Huang Yi as he gently patted Xiao Chunzi’s head, then exchanged a gaze with Qin Shiyu as their eyes met in the air.

Subsequently, Huang Yi logged off on the spot.

...

Meanwhile, in a corner of the spectator seats.

Unbeaten and the European man were sitting calmly, contrasting starkly with the frenzied screaming audience around them.

"I wouldn’t have expected to witness such an unexpected turnaround by the God of Slaughter just after we finished the individual matches," the European man said, a slight shock in his voice.

"I’ve experienced his prowess first-hand, and you’ll eventually face him; best be careful." Unbeaten too was visibly shocked. He had personally fought against Huang Yi, and today, the Hall of Famous Generals had repeated the fate of his Unbeatable Group from a few days prior.

"But the schemes of the Hall of Famous Generals were petty. Tomorrow, The Seven Archdemons’ vanguard will arrive in this world. Let’s see what they do then!" The European man shook his head and teleported out.

Unbeaten took a distant look at Huang Yi in the battlefield and then scanned the surrounding endless crowd as if he was looking at a group of people marked for death, before he too teleported away.

A storm cloud was imminent, soon to envelop this world.

...

In the Western Sea of the Land of Dongying in The Second World.

In the darkness, the boundless sea surface was incredibly calm, the gentle moonlight sprinkled softly, and a far-sea battleship from the Martial Arts Guild was sailing smoothly.

"Captain, we’ve made ten times our investment this trip, Chairman Miyamoto Musashi will surely reward us generously, won’t he?" a sailor player said expectantly to the middle-aged man standing at the bow.

"He certainly will, we’ve perfectly met Chairman Miyamoto Musashi’s requirements, and if we keep this speed, we’ll reach the port by tomorrow. After this trip, everyone can take a good rest and relax!" The middle-aged man said contentedly, patting the sailor on the shoulder.

"Woosh!" Just then, a gust of wind blew out of nowhere, a large cluster of ominous clouds drifted eerily across the sky, suddenly obscuring the moonlight, and the entire sea surface began to surge, waves crashing against the ship, splashing high.

"Huh? What’s happening? How did the waves arise all of a sudden?" The sailor began to wonder.

"There’s trouble!" At that moment, the captain’s brow suddenly furrowed, he looked towards the distant sea and said gravely, "Give the order, a storm’s coming, everyone be alert! Pay extra attention to the Sharp-Toothed Tigers in the cargo hold at the bottom, those mounts are most afraid of rough conditions; if they die, they’ll be worthless."

"Got it!" The sailor nodded and immediately ran to notify all the crew members.

On the entire bow now stood only the captain, his eyebrows tightly knit, a premonition of doom hanging faintly in his heart.

"Boom!" Just then, the dark clouds in the sky suddenly erupted with thunder, lightning scattering like a spider web across the sky, illuminating the entire ocean.

"Patter! Patter! Patter!" Large raindrops suddenly pounded down, and almost instantly, the sea was engulfed in a downpour, the world turning a blanket of white, making it difficult to see clearly ahead. The terror of the ocean began to reveal itself.

The captain was drenched in a flash, his hand firmly grasping the ship’s railing to stabilize himself. He still did not return to the cabin but stood there on the bow, isolated and alone against the furious expanse of the sea.

Soon, the entire sea was engulfed by the storm, clouds thick, lightning flashing, rain pouring, wind howling, the surface of the sea violently undulating as if some Giant Beast from the deep sea was churning underneath, ready to emerge!

"Roar!" At that moment, a thunderous roar came from the distant edge of the ocean, as if from the deep sea, lifting countless massive waves.

With the roar, the sea became even more turbulent, and the colossal far-sea battleship began to shake violently!

The captain, amidst the ship’s tossing, continued his struggle to keep his balance, clinging to the railing, turning his head to peer into the distance. But the relentless rain obscured his vision, making it impossible to see what was happening out there.

"Thud! Thud! Thud!" Right then, from the direction of the roaring, a rhythmic sound came.

It sounded like something walking through the water, each step followed by a long pause before the next one, as if whatever it was had vast strides, each taking a long time to span.

Hearing this, the captain felt an inexplicable fear rising. He was very familiar with the ocean, but at that moment, he felt like a sailor on his first voyage, his heart filled with endless fear!

The ocean was too vast, so vast that no one knew what it might be hiding, and clearly, he now faced an unprecedented crisis!

Just then, the captain suddenly felt an unprecedented hurricane, he could barely stand, his body being blown upwards, only by gripping the railing with his hands could he prevent himself from being swept away!

At that moment, he caught a glimpse, through the endless rain ahead, of an unprecedented giant wave coming toward them, the wave so immense it seemed akin to a mountain range, their ship nothing more than a tiny boat in front of it!

"Boom!" The next instant, the giant wave struck the far-sea battleship! Like a mountain collapsing!

The gigantic ship had no resistance, shattered instantly, and thousands of crew members, along with a ship full of treasures, were swallowed by the waves in a moment, as if they never existed.

The captain was somewhat fortunate, as the giant wave flung him high into the air, where he survived a few seconds longer.

"Boom!" Then, a thick bolt of lightning from the sky slammed into the ocean, the entire world seemed illuminated, and the view suddenly cleared a lot.

At that moment, the captain, flung into the sky, made out a towering figure moving slowly through the sea in the midst of the storm, its colossal form reaching high into the clouds. It walked on, casually flicking the dark clouds on its forehead.

This unforgettable scene was firmly etched in the captain’s eyes before he blacked out, losing consciousness. (To be continued.
