Chapter 129: The Scene Changed Just Like That

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The military power of the Iron Nation was concentrated at the borders.

Three military fortresses formed a defensive line, and nine legions protected them.

In particular, Rhine City was just behind the military fortress. It continuously provided war resources, soldiers, and other necessary things for the military fortresses.

The City could act as a giant granary at the frontline. William wanted to kill the city lord of Rhine City, and raise havoc.

This seemed reckless. It might even be more beneficial to secretly destroy their resources.

But William’s purpose was to incite the war, and he didn’t have an interest in reducing the combat power of the Iron Nation. Reducing the power of a nation did not bring him many benefits.

Currently, the Iron Nation was using various dirty tactics to attract the players. He had to disrupt this.

He rarely used soul magic, hence, he was not afraid of being recognized for the time being. And even if he was recognized, what could they do?

The Black Lava Nation would still have to take responsibility. Even if the Iron Nation knew that William was the one behind this, they had no way out.

“You think about the City of Dawn all day. This time, I have arrived at your doorstep. See how you get rid of me.” William looked at the subordinates of the city lord, who had gathered around him. He walked forward and did not look back.

Over 30 middle level subordinates had just rushed over. These were not simple fodder NPCs. The level 50 shield bearer in front roared, “Charge, get rid of the assassin, protect the city lord.”

“Protect who?” William glanced at this fellow. He looked around and found the city lord secretly observing him from the window.

He immediately took out an arrow and gathered soul magic in his hands. He turned it into a dull blue arrow and fired it.

The blue arrow flew through the air silently, like a spirit cruising through the world.

“Block it.” The moment William aimed at the second story window, the shield bearer had thrown his shield into the air to block the arrow.

But something puzzling happened. The shield reached in time to block the arrow, but the dull blue arrow passed through the shield anyway and pierced the city lord.

“How is that possible?” The shield bearer was dumbfounded. In a flash, the assassin disappeared.

“Assassin… assassin…”

“City lord…”

A shriek followed. The group of subordinates turned back and saw that the person had traveled through space to reach the city lord. He fiercely stabbed the city lord in the chest.

“Pst.”

The city lord, who had been shot, suddenly looked up and laughed coldly.

He exhaled fiercely. Fire battle energy engulfed his entire body, and his blood right hand gripped the Sword of Thunder. He aimed a punch at William.

Bang.

The two Iron Dolls clashed. At the same time, the ‘servants’ hiding in the dark also attacked, and the battle energy shield protecting William’s body was destroyed. Luckily, his soul shield blocked the attack.

But the massive collision sent him flying. But he had grabbed the shoulder of the city lord in the process, and they both flew out of the window and landed on the ground.

“What? You discovered that I was a substitute in such a short period of time. How can you be so strong…”

“If I had not been pressed for time, I would definitely do a check.”

William licked his lips. He quickly got up, but he still felt dizzy. He quickly kicked the fake city lord, and before the fake city lord could get up, he was sent flying like a cannon. There was a man-shaped hole in the gate.

“Swish.” The shield bearer behind him waved his sword. Sword energy, that stretched a few meters long, suddenly landed on William’s head.

But William raised his arm.

The magic shield was broken, and blood splattered in the air.

William did not care about the injury on his arm. He used the momentum and rushed into the house, kicking the fake city lord once again. This caused a man-shaped hole to form in the wall, and a crack had also stretched out like a spider web on the wall. It was difficult to imagine that his kick was this powerful.

Headaches were guaranteed…

But in a battle, those involved did not take turns to attack each other. If someone had fallen, their enemies would take their life!

William’s way of fighting was very decisive and fast. He approached the fake city lord and slashed the Poisonous Short Sword and the Sword of Thunder at the same time. It was as if he had cut through space.

Lightning and green light seemed to form a sluggish orbit…

Therefore.

In a flash.

The fake city lord, who was rather strong and could fight back, fractured his arms when he tried to protect himself. His eyes remained hazy as his head was sent flying backwards.

“How strong.” The level 50 shield bearer broke the silence. The other subordinates entered the house. They did not dare to believe this.

The substitute for the city lord was the third strongest person in Rhine City.

“What kind of person is so strong?”

William did not care about the people behind him.

He fiercely punched the wall on his left!

Bang!

A hole was formed in the wall.

“Er…” One could see a middle-aged man who had turned pale in panic. William had punched through the wall and grabbed his neck. The man widened his eyes, as his legs were suspended in the air. He could not use any strength.

“Not good. Save the city lord.” The subordinates started to panic and surged forth. There was no time to think. How did the assassin know that there was someone in the hidden wall?

If a player was here, they would shout, “Scientist!!!”

But it was too late to say anything. William flexed his arm and delivered a punch, almost knocking the breath out of the city lord.

Not only it broke the lord’s neck, half of his vertebrae lay exposed in front of his subordinates.

A city lord who was only level 30…

William did not face any difficulty killing him.

“Soul magic has many uses…” William had realized something a very long time ago.

After his Saint Soul Magic had advanced to level 20, he found out that when a person’s waves of energy were very strong, he could sense the position of a creature within ten meters. The more strong the waves of energy, the more accurate the position.

This was not a skill. It was more like a three-dimensional map formed in the mind, which worked similar to the ultrasound that bats used.

It was evident that even if a player studied soul magic, they would not be able to master it, unless they had specific skills.

This was a skill that only NPCs had. More accurately, one would only be able enjoy the skills of the original inhabitants when they truly integrated into this world.

Oh, he also finally understood why the arrow could fly through the wall. He could see through the wall.

“The city lord died just like that?” The subordinates could not imagine this. Who on earth was the person in front of them?

“Is he an assassin? Ranger? Or a warrior?” Someone silently muttered. He was irrationally strong.

The subordinates of the city lord could not stop William.

He was a level 57 legendary boss and a top killer in version 1.0. His Legendary bloodline, combined with his attributes, could cause his enemies to fall into despair…

William was invincible. He had rushed into the palace of the city lord and killed him in less than three minutes. Then, in an impressive showcase of power, he killed his way out. In the end, he reached the city wall and escaped in the night.

This abominable killing caused the eruption of great waves between the two nations.

The next day.

An investigation squad sent by the king had arrived. To the shock of the players, this squad included two legendary bosses.

The assassination that took place was a very grave matter. All the players understood this.

The two bosses were Goethe Nasis and Augustine.

They looked at the mess in the palace of the city lord, as well as the scene of his death that still remained untouched. They maintained their silence.

Augustine clenched his fist tightly. His gaze was cold. “The perpetrator is very strong. It should be an expert who is around our level.”

Goethe Nasis touched the man-shaped dent on the wall. He shook his head. “No, they are probably not as strong as you.”

“This person is not a real killer. The dark shadow organization would never allow such a terrible assassin.” Augustine gritted his teeth.

“You’re right. Who on earth is he? Diablo from the Black Lava Nation? Or Renekton? Or…”

“No, it can’t be them…” Goethe Nasis quickly countered his own argument.

Diablo was a metal-type warrior, while Renekton was a commander under the royal family. They would not be asked to do something like this. It was even more likely for anyone else to do this.

They looked at each other. Then, as they started to describe the battle scene, they spoke in unison, “Lightning-type! City of Dawn.”

Goethe Nasis smiled. “How mischievous. Back then, I didn’t kill that fellow. Instead, I allowed him to grow up. Now, he dares to provoke me. Interesting.”

“He will probably attack again.”

“Perhaps, perhaps not.” Goethe picked his eyebrows and said in a low tone, “But you don’t have to care about these. Continue to bring the execution team and assassinate the officers, scouts, and even any experts at the border.”

“Leave the problem of aristocrats in the nation to me. The war will begin in two months.”

“Now, create a tense atmosphere at the borders. Make the Black Lava Nation think that we are going to attack.”

“Okay. Leave William to me. I still have a grudge from the previous attempt to slay the dragon.” Augustine thought about the witch, the memory still clear in his mind. If he did not settle this grudge, he would feel terrible for the rest of his life.

Goethe Nasis nodded his hand. Suddenly, he waved and everyone retreated.

With that…

He looked at the golden-haired man in front of me. He stretched out his hand and gently touched Augustine’s face. “Be careful. His abilities are not normal.”

“Should we leave after tonight?” Augustine flashed a rare smile.

“Oh… sure!”
