Chapter 416: Battle: Part 3

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Sheng took a bath and gave the little girl some pointers in both swordplay and holy power training before he left the villa.

As he had nothing to do earlier, he had lain down to rest and slept all the way from morning to afternoon. His spirits could not be in any better shape.

It was just moments away before the temple’s upgrade was completed, and he wanted to witness the changes with his own eyes.

As he stepped out of the lab, Lin Sheng leaped ahead as a large amount of holy power behind him propelled him forward.

By using a large quantity of holy power, he could fly freely like a bird for a short period of time.

Lin Sheng strolled across the city and soon found Henriqcal’s tallest commerce building. He rapidly flew along the outer wall of the building and very quickly reached the top of the building.

“Over here then.” Lin Sheng looked on the ground and found it very clean.

After the Blacktide invasion last time, the financial group which owned the commercial building announced that they were letting go of this multi-billion-dollar building, and transferred it to Baine University which had maintained order.

Sadly, when the true Blacktide struck, the place had already been abandoned. It was because the cost of dozens of elevators going up and down, and the daily cleaning of the building was not something a normal person could sustain.

Especially in the current state where resources were getting scarcer by the day, spending a large amount of electricity to power the elevators was simply impossible.

Lin Sheng circled the rooftop and lamented the fact that such a magnificent building was abandoned just like that.

“This is actually pretty normal.” Tenko Kasumi had arrived without him knowing.

“The eras that I had lived through, there were similar situations like this. The more critical the times are, the needs become ever simpler, faster, and more practical.” Lin Sheng smiled and did not interject.

While Tenko Kasumi had a certain degree of independence and was not exactly him, but this was like a person entertaining his thoughts in his mind, with this thought wanting this, another wanting that, even thoughts in his mind would have differing opinions.

Much less an independent double of him.

“It’s here!”

Lin Sheng suddenly felt something as he looked up.

The clear skies only had a few long strips of clouds among the sea of azure. Without industrial pollutants, the air quality was rapidly improving.

*Hah!!*

Suddenly, from the direction of the Holy Sanctum’s Font of Holy Power, a red light blasted out, and exploded above Henriqcal’s skies, turning into a sea of dark red dust-like substance.

Following that was another gentle hum, as a clear smoke blasted out from the direction of the Holy Sanctum.

This smoke similarly exploded in the air, and soon fused with the red dark dust in the air, forming into the dark red cloud layer that covered the entire city overhead.

And most importantly, this cloud layer was invisible to normal people, and would not affect the projection of sunlight.

“What a wondrous piece of tech. It’s truly a master’s work...” Lin Sheng said with admiration.

Tenko Kasumi did not say anything, and simply just looked at the clouds in the air.

“Then it’s energy suppression.” Lin Sheng used his soullink to look at the crimson-armored warrior guarding the dungeon.

And now he could directly see that the energy suppression rejecting and suppressing the power of other systems.

And the most direct effect was over a dozen people suddenly died inside the dungeon.

Most of these people had many hidden injuries on their bodies and had been relying on their powers to support their bodies. Now that the energy suppression is activated, the suppression lowered their power level by One Wing or even more.

And once their dark powers not enough to sustain their body, their wounds festered and their injuries reared their head again, resulting in a tragedy.

“Seems like everything is going well.”

Lin Sheng then arranged for someone to take care of the matter inside the prison before laying on the ground on the roof, as he had gotten too lazy to move.

He had been in a hurry to become strong and forge ahead. At times he was forced to, at times it was voluntarily, but most of the time, it was the thrill of the pursuit.

Lin Sheng rarely had such an opportunity to have nothing to do and to lay down in an unknown place to relax.

After a short rest, he had almost fallen asleep.

Tenko Kasumi, on the other hand, stood by the edge of the building and looked towards a corner of the city below her.

*Woooo...*

A sudden piercing siren rang out in Lin Sheng’s mind.

“The Tower of Dusk had discovered hostiles. Unknown biological creatures are trying to break the defensive line. Please take action immediately.”

Lin Sheng immediately reacted, and it was probably the sanctum that he was bound to giving the alarm.

This was the design created by the various master artisans of Blackfeather City, and while parts of the design were still under-developed, but the effect of its practical usage was far beyond Lin Sheng’s imagination.

“Let’s ask first.” Lin Sheng got up as he pulled out his cell phone and made a phone call.

The line was immediately connected.

“Cypher, is Baine’s outermost defensive line alright?” Lin Sheng’s concern was for the outermost defensive perimeter.

“Sir, there are no problems.”

“How about our own defensive line?” Lin Sheng asked again.

“Please wait.” The voice on the other end quickly ran through the specifics of the situation.

“It should be safe... No, no! Thirty kilometers north of our position, a wave of unknown monsters is approaching at high speed!”

“Take a picture and sent it to me.” Lin Sheng said as he hung up. He then checked the picture and data sent over by the Tower of Dusk.

A minute later, his phone rang again, and Lin Sheng pulled out his phone and adjusted the brightness as he tapped on the picture.

The attacking monsters’ upper torsos were like that of men, while their lower body was like a centipede-like creature while their faces bore a child-like smile.

At that moment, all of the monsters were coiled together and looked like a massive ball of flesh from a distance.

“Another new monster...” Lin Sheng was rather indifferent. The monster on the picture was the same as the image sent to him by the Tower of Dusk.

“I had heard my subordinates mentioned about this before.” Tenko Kasumi suddenly asked. “They had mentioned that most of the monsters had been purged, but for so many to appear so suddenly...”

“Perhaps they were passing through,” Lin Sheng said. “Wooo....”

A second alarm rang out.

“A mysterious underground cavern had appeared near the Holy Sanctum. Monsters approaching fast!” “Scanning for numbers...”

“There’s a total of 1251 units. Please eradicate as soon as possible.”

The Tower of Dusk was certainly effective, and a level three Tower of Dusk made Lin Sheng very happy.

He constantly switched between various battlefields as the images that came to his mind were as if an HD camera had been installed in his mind, and he could also choose to activate or deactivate various divine art enchantments.

Lin Sheng pondered for a little and chose to enhance Detect Evil.

Detect Evil was a divine art of the lowest level and was the least useful of them all. But once it is upgraded, it was no longer Detect Evil.

It instead became a special ability that was similar to a mental shock, and could temporarily subdue anyone who has a weaker mind than the user.

Lin Sheng named this upgraded Detect Evil as Holy Shock.

And just at that moment, in the distant skies, a dense dark blue shadow suddenly flew over.

It was a swarm from by pterodactyl-like blue monsters, and with their numbers, panic ensued.

Lin Sheng looked at the flock from a distance, and before they could even get close, several volleys had been launched from below.

*Boom boom boom!!!*

Anti-air cannons were being continuously erected, as the special shells screeched into the air, and every explosion took out at least several of the monster birds at a time.

“It seems like things are getting better, but the issue with this world is not that simple.”

Lin Sheng felt like he was drained again as he thought about it.

Land, underground, air, every avenue had been utilized, and if this was not on purpose he had nothing else to say.
