Chapter 732 - Chaotic White Line City

Chapter 732: Chaotic White Line City

“This undulation… Shackled Realm…”
Isabella and the rest retreated from a distance but they still observed the city. Their goal was to find out if someone was going to escape.
“Begin the first step,” Isabella said in a low voice. The people beside her nodded before they looked at the experts on the ground.
Ohm!
The experts of Noxious Corps gathered their energy as they took out monster orbs. In just a second, a translucent barrier covered the entire city.
This barrier was fragile. Unlike in the tournament which only took a small space, this barrier covered the whole city so its defensive capabilities were scattered. Its purpose was to detect anyone who would try to leave the barrier. After all, even if an expert has mastered stealth that expert still needed to pass through the barrier to leave the city.
“W-What is that?!”
“A barrier…?!”
The citizens of the White Line started to panic. They stared at the translucent screen above the city with widened eyes. They could feel powerful auras outside the city waiting for a chance to enter.
Then, the ground shook as a heavy and strong energy fluctuation burst through the City Hall.
“T-This…!!”
“C-City Lord!!”
“It’s the City Lord!!”
The mood quickly changed when the person inside the City Hall showed his power.
“WHO DARE TO CAUSE TROUBLE IN STAR PAVILION’S TERRITORY!!”
A loud voice filled with overwhelming energy reverberated throughout the whole city.
Isabella’s expression turned grim when she heard the voice. “This is not an ordinary Shackled Realm…”
She turned her head and sighed in relief. Alice, Eztein, and Elder Guan flew beside her. The Head of the Shimpan Family followed behind the three.
“Sorry, it took us a while to come here,” Alice said.
“No problem. Nothing really happened this time.” Isabella said.
“How is it?” Alice asked while observing the city from above.
“They had Shackled Realm…” Isabella answered.
“As expected…” Alice nodded her head.
“Should we attack them?” Eztein asked as he turned his head in the opposite direction. “Oh, they are already here. Our support.”
Third Head was flying at normal speed. Behind her were the experts under her command. They were all elite soldiers that experienced hundreds of battles.
Alice flew over and greeted them. Third Head responded politely but she was inwardly shocked by their lineup. Four One Shackle Realm experts were a force to reckon in the entire Mine Valley. Aside from the Shackled Realm, they also had a bunch of Solidifying Realm experts.
‘Seventh Head really hid his strength deeply…’ Third Head said in her mind.
“We’ll attack them and try to locate the people from Wingless Crow. You can support us from behind.” Alice said.
“Okay.” Third Head nodded as she raised her hand.
A middle-aged man flew over and bowed deeply. “My Lady, I’ll fulfill your command.”
“Help them. Command our forces and locked the entire city. Capture anyone who tried to leave.” Third Head said with a yawn.
“I understand, My Lady.” The middle-aged man bowed once again.
Alice looked at them for a while before she turned her attention back to the city.
“Let’s start.”
The target was an unknown organization called Wingless Crow which was working with the Star Pavilion. In order to find out the truth behind the Wingless Crow, they had to capture and interrogate the experts of the Star Pavilion.
“Dispel the barrier!”
The barrier quickly disappeared revealing the entirety of the city. There’s no defensive mechanism at all. Alice knew that she shouldn’t expect this city to be the same as Ladros.
She slowly raised her hand and gigantic ice spears formed around her. Her aura rose sharply as a magic circle materialized beneath her feet.
“Go!”
With her signal, the ice spears were launched. It quickly closed the gap and pierced the huge and majestic City Hall.
Bang! Bang! Bang!!
“We’re under attack!!”
“I repeat! We are under attack!!”
“The south gate has been breached!!”
“No!!!”
“The north, east, and west gate have been breached!!!”
The guards couldn’t stop the invaders from entering. They didn’t have enough power at all. They were just weak and puny guards at the C-rank level. They couldn’t even scratch the weakest A-rank expert of Astros.
There’s no way they could stop the invasion. The invasion was too sudden and they had little time to prepare.
“This…”
In the City Hall, everyone could see the gigantic ice spears that nailed their place. The energy it possessed made everyone who approach it turned into an ice sculpture.
“This undulation… A One Shackle Realm expert…?” An old man with a long white hair muttered grimly. Veins popped out on his forehead and everyone could feel the rage brewing in his heart.
This old man was the City Lord of White Line City, Vaulin.
“Who are these people?! Why are they attacking us?!”
He said angrily. His energy was fluctuating immensely as the entire area continue to shake.
“Master, I’ve seen the City Lord of Umbra…!” One of his subordinates said.
“What?! Umbra! That girl is here! Don’t tell me the Dragon Council is…” Vaulin opened his eyes widely. His whole body trembled and his rage almost explode.
“DRAGON COUNCIL!!!”
Alice and the rest couldn’t help but turn their heads at the City Hall. The powerful energy undulation that reverberated just now was too heavy.
They were standing on the city walls watching everything.
Bang!! Bang!!
The experts of the Star Pavilion started to fight back. A huge battle that covered the entire city occurred. Even the small organizations in White Line couldn’t help but fight. A lot of innocent people got caught up in the battle.
“Eztein…” Alice said.
“Okay, it’s my turn.” Eztein stood up and pulled the halberd on his back.
“I’m coming.”
A smile plastered across his face as he jumped down from the wall.
Thud!
The moment his feet touch the ground, the moment he burst through toward the City Hall with unbelievable speed. His energy shot through the roof as he charged forward while gathering his mana on his weapon.
Rumble!
Eztein locked at the person who had the strongest aura in the City Hall.
Boom!!
He tore through the huge building as he dragged an old man with a powerful aura with him.
Rumble!
“You dare!!” Vaulin roared as he stretched out his hand and created a barrier around him.
Eztein simply smashed the barrier with his halberd and kicked his opponent in the chest.
Bam!!
He wanted to attack again but he saw dozens of fireballs appear in the air. The fireballs shot at him but Eztein swiftly moved his body avoiding it.
Swoosh!! Swoosh!!
Alice watched the battle with a plain look. With the current situation, they held a great advantage over the enemies.
After all, the Star Pavilion was participating in the battle for the three cities. It means that some of their forces weren’t here.
‘But our real target is the Wingless Crow… Are those guys here or not? We didn’t alert anyone. Maybe, they are still hiding waiting for an opportunity to come out.’
Alice narrowed her eyes. “Don’t hold back! Kill those resist! People who surrender should go east gate! Our people will investigate you! We will not harm you if we find that you’re not our target!”
Her voice wasn’t loud but everyone in the city heard it. Her words give the civilians some hope. They thought that they were going to die in this battle and almost gave up.
Alice looked at Edward and nodded.
Edward flew towards the east gate. His job was to guard that place and prevent anyone from causing chaos. If someone violates it, then he would mercilessly kill that person. His One Shackle Realm strength should be enough to deter all those people.
“Wait!!”
Elder Guan suddenly said. He pointed at the city and said, “Look, something has changed. The citizens started to violently attack our forces. They didn’t even care about their lives anymore.”
Inside the city, tens of thousands of citizens charged at the forces of Astros madly. They were like a beast that keep charging without regard for their pitiful lives.
It was like a monster tide. The only difference was it was made up of humans and demis.
“ARGH!!!”
The experts of Astros didn’t have a choice but to fight back. The B-rank experts were even forced to use the full potential of their parasites. They waved their savage arms dismantling dozens of people in the blink of an eye.
They couldn’t afford to control their strength anymore. They just keep blowing all the people that attacked them.
Blood and flesh splashed everywhere dyeing the whole area in red. A thick stench of blood spread out as the citizens continued their mad attack.
“What is happening?!”
Alice narrowed her eyes. It was too chaotic right now so she didn’t even know if someone cast a spell that made all these people go crazy.
Everyone who was watching this scene couldn’t believe what they were witnessing.
“Why…?” Isabella covered her mouth in shock.
At this moment, Third Head opened her eyes and said, “It’s a charm. It is similar to the one in Bland City.”
“Shit!!” Alice cursed as she flew above the city. She raised her hand and a huge amount of energy swirled around it.
Boom!!!
