Heroes' Prison

Chapter 463 - 453: Nameless Hero

The Fallen Messenger and Unbeaten had talked for a while before both left the scene, leaving behind only the bright moonlight and the salty sea breeze on the beach.

Huang Yi was still immersed in Nothingness, reflecting on the conversation between the Fallen Messenger and Unbeaten he had just overheard. The most valuable piece of information he had gained was that the Ancient Giants were the natural enemies of the Demon Clan. This intelligence could possibly grant him substantial benefits in the future.

Dawn was about to break, and the night had witnessed a multitude of events. Countless people on the Hero’s Continent were living peacefully, just like any other day.

No one knew that on this night, in a distant part of the sea, a catastrophe that could have befallen the continent had been nipped in the bud.

Huang Yi logged off right there.

Meanwhile, Unbeaten returned to his Guild City in a sullen mood. He had been in high spirits that night, having persuaded the Fallen Messenger and secured the opportunity to control the Giant General, which was akin to having an invincible ally. But to his surprise, he was suddenly killed, deranked, the Giant General disappeared, he was scolded by the Fallen Messenger, and now he bore the burden of finding the Giant General.

Unbeaten was seated in the guild’s conference hall, with Huan Meng, the person responsible for guild affairs, sitting across from him.

"Have everyone in the guild keep an eye out for any news about the Giant General, especially any news about our continent’s Giant General. Reward the one who provides valuable information with one hundred million Gold Coins!" Unbeaten commanded, rubbing his temples wearily.

"Uh!" Huan Meng bit her lip, embarrassed, and said cautiously, "Big brother, our guild’s funds are tight right now. We can’t come up with one hundred million Gold Coins."

"What? How did this happen? What kind of manager are you?" Unbeaten was instantly fraught with irritation, his accumulated anger igniting, "You’re useless if you can’t handle even this simple matter!"

Huan Meng was taken aback, not having expected Unbeaten to berate him. Defiantly, he retorted, "This was your order! Have you forgotten? You told us to use all our funds to purchase those supplies. Now they are stuck in the warehouse, unsellable, and you’re blaming me?"

"Ah!" Unbeaten was startled and began to tremble slightly. He finally realized the gravity of this terrible issue!

He had known that the Giant General was planning to land from the northern part of the continent, and that the north would undoubtedly suffer a disaster. Hence, he had hastily instructed to use almost all of the guild’s funds to hoard some of the north’s unique supplies to sell at high prices later, making a fortune.

But tonight’s events had been completely unexpected. The Giant General had been taken away by the mysterious figure and would no longer invade the Hero’s Continent. As a result, the supplies they had hoarded were now worthless, turning to waste in their hands! Without funds for the guild to function, the future consequences would be disastrous!

His attention had been focused on the Giant General before, and it was only upon hearing this news that he suddenly remembered this matter.

"Get out!" Unbeaten waved his pale hand at Huan Meng, seeming to have exhausted all his strength.

Biting her teeth, Huan Meng left the conference hall feeling aggrieved. The night wind blew and the bright moon shone, but she felt no joy, only a burning sense of injustice within.

"Big brother Huan Meng, we’ve run out of money in the sub-territory. We can’t continue construction!" Just then, a player who saw Huan Meng come out immediately approached him, reporting anxiously.

"You’re useless! Can’t you even handle this simple matter!" Huan Meng lashed out at the player in anger.

Inside the conference hall, Unbeaten heard the angry shout and hung his head, closing his eyes in pain.

The shout of rage from Huan Meng that had wafted in seemed to be directed at him, a similar rebuke he had heard from the Fallen Messenger that evening. The words echoed in his mind, repeatedly calling him useless.

Perhaps, from the moment he joined The Seven Archdemons, he was already useless.

...

When Huang Yi logged on again, it was nearly noon. He was about to participate in a team match. The opponent wasn’t a superpower, so winning shouldn’t be too difficult.

First, Huang Yi checked the forum.

"After the Land of Dongying, Giant Generals of the Demon Clan have been spotted on the American Continent! As of now, 94 cities have been levelled! The Pope has urgently led the organization of resistance forces!"

"The Heavenly Emperor has fallen in battle! The Land of Dongying’s Guardian, Heavenly Dao, was tragically killed by the Giant General. Experts from the Oskan Royal Academy have arrived at the Land of Dongying, hoping to put an end to the threat of the Giant General!"

"Affected by death, the Heavenly Emperor’s power has declined, losing the individual match to the dark horse T.N.T!"

"World Shocked! Giant General Attacks Hero’s Continent, But Stopped by a Mysterious Figure!"

In the list of hot posts within the last 24 hours, the fourth spot was surprisingly taken by the incident last night where Huang Yi and the Sea Dragon Emperor stopped the Giant General!

This made Huang Yi slightly stunned. He had thought that nobody should have known about the incident, but unexpectedly, it had spread to the forum and had attracted such high attention.

The post was written by the forum celebrity Heartless Reminiscence, and he immediately clicked to read it.

"Last night, violent tsunamis suddenly appeared in the northern sea region of Hero’s Continent, far exceeding the level of ordinary ocean storms, submerging multiple islands. At that time, a Deep Sea Battleship from the Sun Guild was passing by the edge of that sea area, far from the epicenter of the tsunami, yet it was still violently rocked. A player on the ship with flight capability took a risk and flew toward the epicenter of the tsunami, managing to capture the following world-shocking video from a distance, but only managed to record more than ten seconds before being killed by the aftershock of the battle."

Next, a video appeared in the post, and Huang Yi immediately clicked to watch it.

The content of this video was the very scene of the Sea Dragon Emperor attacking the Giant General. However, the Sea Emperor’s figure was at the bottom of the sea and did not appear; the video only showed the Giant General being forcibly ejected from the sea bottom by brute force, flying into the air and then crashing down harshly, causing a severe tsunami. A large volume of seawater was smashed into the air, and the world was in chaos. Subsequently, the video went completely black as the player was smashed to death by the seawater that fell from the sky, with no further footage recorded.

"From the video, we can see that although it was night, with the help of the moonlight, we can vaguely make out in the footage that the creature ejected from the sea bottom is very much like a much shrunk Giant General! If such a powerful being could be beaten like that, then who exactly is the attacker? How did they know this information and go to stop the Giant General? All this we do not know and it has become a mystery hidden deep beneath the ocean. However, their actions have indirectly saved the Hero’s Continent, preventing a catastrophe."

"However, this nameless hero might suffer the crazed retaliation of The Seven Archdemons, he saved a continent but put himself in danger, let us pray that he will be able to evade and remain safe and sound..."

After reading this post, Huang Yi finally relaxed, at least he was still hidden behind the scenes, and Unbeaten was not exposed, which was the best outcome. It was not time to expose Unbeaten yet, he was like a source of intelligence, keeping an eye on him would yield continual updates on The Seven Archdemons.

Huang Yi briefly browsed the responses to the post, this mysterious person is currently one of the hot topics on the forum, with almost everyone guessing their identity. Especially for some Chinese players, this matter concerns their very fate.

After browsing a few more hot posts, Huang Yi entered The Second World, there was half an hour left before the group competition would start.

At this moment, his incarnation was still on that island, while his true body was reigning supreme in Dragon City.

He controlled his incarnation to use the Teleportation Circle to return to Hero Harbor, then boarded another Dragon Fang Battleship and headed to Glazed Glass Island in search of the Sea Dragon Emperor, to check on his condition.

Meanwhile, his true body went to the square in front of City Hall, where the members of the Heroes’ Guild were all gathering and chatting enthusiastically.

"Curtain Fall, did you see that ten-second video on the forum? Who on earth saved us?"

"Probably an NPC powerhouse! After all, the opponent is the Giant General, even our Guild Master probably couldn’t budge him."

"It was so close! We didn’t even know a Giant General was heading towards our continent; lucky for us, he was stopped halfway by that mysterious figure, or we might have ended up like the Land of Dongying!"

...

Huang Yi heard the chatter of the crowd but his expression didn’t change. He looked up and saw a figure standing on the window sill at the topmost floor of the distant City Hall, it was unmistakably Qin Shiyu.

Their eyes met across the noisy crowd, and they easily locked onto each other. Huang Yi smiled at Qin Shiyu and then walked towards City Hall.

At this moment, Qin Shiyu stood still inside City Hall, watching Huang Yi as he walked step by step from below.

From the moment Huang Yi appeared, her beautiful eyes were fixated on him, as if he was the only thing in the world that could catch her attention, he was all she saw.

Soon, Huang Yi made his way to the topmost floor of City Hall. Qin Shiyu immediately took her long, straight, beautiful legs forward and walked up to him. Her rosy lips opened slightly and she asked breathlessly, "Was it you?"

She spoke vaguely, not even framing a question, but Huang Yi knew she was asking about last night’s incident and, staring at her, he nodded gently.

Qin Shiyu’s eyebrows raised playfully and her enticing lips curved, her expression filled with pride, as if proud that her man was a star. If she had a confidante who could keep secrets by her side, she surely would have boasted about it.

Qin Shiyu extended her hand to hold Huang Yi’s, sweetly saying, "I knew it, there’s no one else in this world who could do it but you."

"That’s because, in your world, there’s only me." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to cast your Recommendation Tickets and Monthly Tickets at Starting Point (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
