Heroes' Prison

Chapter 698 - 669: Destroying the Magic Tower

"He, he really is the God of Slaughter!" At this moment, the girl watched Huang Yi’s retreating figure, covered her mouth with her hand, and said with a face full of surprise.

"Yes, he is the God of Slaughter. Did you see the War Aura around him? That can’t be faked!" The boy swallowed hard and nodded. Then, as if suddenly realizing something, he immediately turned his head to look at the girl and said, "You just mentioned that if the God of Slaughter pleads for me, you would forgive me. Can you forgive me now?" After speaking, he bit his lip and looked at the girl with a face full of hope.

The girl’s face turned red, she glanced at the boy, then pursed her lips and thought for a moment, saying, "I don’t know." With that, she reached out to twist her own braid and turned to leave.

"Hey, no! How can you not know? I was wrong, I really was. Please forgive me, won’t you?" The boy immediately chased after her, apologizing over and over again. Their figures gradually disappeared into the distance, their voices becoming fainter.

Meanwhile, Huang Yi was heading in the opposite direction, taking out a map of Northern Sea City and studying it intently as he walked.

His most important task right now was to get Qin Shiyu out of Northern Sea City as quickly as possible. His Tie the Knot skill could only last for 1 day, but the cooldown was as long as 100 days. Currently, this skill had only just over ten hours left, and if he couldn’t rescue Qin Shiyu in that time, she would be in mortal danger.

Even after leaving Northern Sea City, Qin Shiyu would still be in the Land of Dongying, where danger still lurked, and Miyamoto Musashi must have already locked down the coastal areas, making departure extremely difficult. However, Huang Yi had prepared a backup plan; he had a special method to send Qin Shiyu back to the Hero’s Continent.

To get Qin Shiyu out of Northern Sea City, the first step was to deal with the obstruction of the Heavenly Curtain Barrier. As long as the Heavenly Curtain Barrier stood, Qin Shiyu could not leave. The core of the Barrier was the Magic Tower, the building that continuously supplied energy to maintain the curtain. Destroying the Magic Tower would be akin to indirectly shutting down the Barrier.

The map in Huang Yi’s hands showed that the Magic Tower of Northern Sea City was located in the middle region, easy to recognize!

Next, he immediately summoned Little Dragon and had it perform Holy Dragon Descent before he mounted it.

"Little Dragon, we’re heading to the Magic Tower in the center of Northern Sea City to see if we can destroy it," Huang Yi said, patting Little Dragon’s neck.

"Woof woof!" Little Dragon nodded its head and let out a bark, then it quickly spread its wings and flew north.

Little Dragon’s barking had become ingrained in its marrow and it couldn’t get rid of it even after advancing to the Growth Phase. However, this did not affect its strength and even helped conceal its identity as the Golden Holy Dragon. With its golden phoenix feathers and a bark, no one would think it was a Golden Holy Dragon but would assume it was some other species.

Under the warm sunlight, Little Dragon spread its huge wings, casting a large shadow, sweeping past all the landscapes below as it rushed towards the central area of Northern Sea City. They made no effort to conceal their presence, and players on the ground could easily spot them as soon as they looked up.

Along the way, whenever Huang Yi saw a crowded place, he would swoop down for a slaughter to earn battle merits and experience points. He was not ones to stick to a single course of action. He could mercilessly kill thousands upon thousands of people, but he could also, as just now, beg for a boy’s forgiveness from his girlfriend. Humans are complex creatures; there are no absolute good ones, nor absolute bad ones. Even Miyamoto Musashi had his good side.

And so, killing and traveling at the same time, Little Dragon finally carried Huang Yi to the middle region of Northern Sea City.

From afar, Huang Yi could see a gigantic Magic Tower that pierced the sky, towering far above the surrounding buildings, highly conspicuous! Its body was covered with blue engravings, intricate and ornate, glistening crystally under the sun, looking like a treasure.

At the top of the Magic Tower, a faint blue Light Pillar shot up into the sky, connecting to the Heavenly Curtain Barrier and continuously channeling magic power.

This Magic Tower was the source of magic power for the Heavenly Curtain Barrier! Inside the tower was a massive accumulation of Magic Stones, each second of consumption was astonishingly high, constantly burning money. If it were not for a large guild like the Martial Arts Guild, an average guild wouldn’t be able to sustain such a long-term activation of the Heavenly Curtain Barrier; the expenses were just too overwhelming.

Huang Yi glanced at the entrance of the Magic Tower, which twinkled with a faint Barrier, preventing outsiders from entering. The Magic Tower was of utmost importance, and its protection measures were impeccable; breaching it would be extremely difficult.

He rode Little Dragon around the tower, scrutinizing the Magic Tower closely, but even after a long search, he could not find a suitable point of ingress. It was like a fortress without flaws; no windows, no ventilation holes, and the only entrance was sealed by the Barrier.

Eventually, Huang Yi had to set his sights on the body of the Magic Tower itself. Since the entrance was protected by a Barrier and he couldn’t get in, he had to resort to brute force to break through the structure of the tower. If he could make a hole in the wall, then he’d be able to get inside.

At that moment, Huang Yi tentatively wielded the Bloodstained War Halberd and violently attacked the wall of the Magic Tower!

"Boom!" Instantly, the Halberd struck hard against a wall of the Magic Tower! A sound like metal striking stone rang out!

The wall bricks were full of engravings, and upon being struck by Huang Yi’s attack, they immediately flashed a touch of blue light—as if some magical might was thwarting the attack, leaving the bricks completely unharmed.

These were no ordinary bricks; each contained magical powers, capable of absorbing magic elements to block attacks.

"Bang bang bang!" Following that, Huang Yi persevered, relentlessly swinging the Bloodstained War Halberd, aiming consistently at the same brick. His strikes were incredibly precise, controlled as if with fiery intensity, every blow landing on the exact same spot!

With each strike, the blue light on the brick emerged again and again, but as the number of hits increased, the luminance of that light gradually faded, seemingly exhausting the might within! Once this power was fully depleted, the wall brick would no longer be able to resist Huang Yi’s attacks and would be destroyed!

"Whoosh!" Just then, Huang Yi suddenly sensed a sharp whooshing sound coming from behind.

Little Dragon also heard the sound, and its wings flashed instantly, quickly dodging to the side!

In an instant, a fireball exploded from where they had just been, its intense Fire Element essence generating a wave of heat that swept in all directions, striking Huang Yi and causing a slight burning sensation.

Turning his head, Huang Yi saw a person with wings unfolded, looking down at them coldly from the void.

This person’s wings were peculiar, one side fiery red and the other ice blue. His garments were similarly half red and half blue, and furthermore, his hair, complexion, arms, and skin followed the same dichromatic scheme. In his hand was a whip, one end frozen, while the other blazed with flames!

This figure appeared to be an Eccentric by profession. Probably a guardian from Northern Sea City. And judging from his aura, he was likely a level 175 guardian. Huang Yi quickly made this assessment.

"The power of magic is great, yet you dare to defile the Magic Tower, an unforgivable sin!" The guardian said coldly, his two-colored eyes staring at Huang Yi as if he was a zealot of magic accusing someone of sacrilege.

"Huff!" But the response was the Flames of the Holy Dragon from Little Dragon’s mouth! The golden Sacred Flame formed a pillar of fire in the air, tearing through, heading straight for the whip-wielding guardian with a furious momentum!

"Flames? I am not afraid of flames!" The guardian, seeing the Flames of the Holy Dragon, appeared arrogantly composed, slightly shaking his head, standing still without any intention to dodge, seemingly not at all fearful of Fire Element attacks. He swung his magic whip, lashing it fiercely towards Huang Yi.

"Sizzle!" The next moment, Little Dragon’s Sacred Flame struck the guardian first, immediately emitting a sound akin to roasting meat, burning the guardian into a living torch!

"Huh? This flame..." The guardian finally realized that this was no ordinary flame but one that carried 50% Holy Element attacks. He exclaimed in surprise and hastily tried to dodge.

But by then, having been stricken by the Flames of the Holy Dragon, his movement speed would decrease by 20% for the next 24 hours. This made his escape noticeably slower.

Seizing the opportunity, Huang Yi pushed Little Dragon to charge swiftly towards the guardian. He deliberately gripped the Bloodstained War Halberd with his powerful Thunder Left Hand, brewing his tremendous attack power in his hand, ready to thrust at any moment.

As an Eccentric of the Magic Attribute profession, his Physical Defense was inferior compared to the level 175 Warrior Guardian he had slain yesterday. Being subject to Huang Yi’s mighty physical attack would only hasten his demise.

"Heavy Judgment!" Finally, Little Dragon carried Huang Yi like lightning to the guardian’s front, Huang Yi striking with his most fierce move.

Realizing the severity of the incoming attack, the guardian did not dare to withstand it. With a flicker of his form, he immediately moved to another area, avoiding Huang Yi’s assault.

"Forced Execution—Pursuit!" Almost instinctively aboard Little Dragon, Huang Yi initiated a Pursuit, sticking close by the guardian’s side, not allowing any retreat.

At last, after the third Pursuit, Huang Yi successfully collided with the guardian aboard Little Dragon, stunning him for two precious seconds, which created a valuable window for offense!

But just as Huang Yi’s Bloodstained War Halberd was about to plunge towards the guardian, three streaks of blood-red light shot from the distance, striking the halberd and causing the attack to veer off course!
