Chapter 418: Situation: Part 2

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Coming at this hour, is it by accident or by design?”

As he was closest to the door, Azem stood up and took the initiative to open the door.

Trying to cover-up at this moment would make things even more suspicious, so if he was much more upfront, people would not doubt him that much.

*Clack.*

The door opened.

The young Sage of the Sevenlocks Tower looked at the two figures standing outside the door with a stunned look.

One was clad from head to toe in armor, with a golden iris shining from the helmet’s eyeslit.

The other person’s expression was calm and impassive. The large greatsword on her back announced her identity loud and clear.

“Hello, nice to meet you. I’m the manager of this Holy Sanctum district, Seagal, and this is the Chapter Master, Tenko Kasumi. We have detected a special aura here, and had come over to investigate.”

Lin Sheng smiled as he introduced himself and Tenko Kasumi.

Running into a whale at the start of a game... No... this was the scenario where you were already going to get your hinds kicked before the game even started.

He was a Sage, and a Sage requires time to lay plans out. Yet even with the brightest ideas in his mind, standing before two powerful figures, Azem felt that he needed to submit.

“Hello... Who are you looking for?” Azem’s heart quivered, but he still put on a facade of a distant relative and said gently.

“The person we are looking for is a person capable of walking amongst monsters without any danger,” Lin Sheng said with a faint smile.

“You must be kidding... how would such a person exists, it boggles the mind.” Azem barely forced out a smile.

“But I was not joking.” Lin Sheng smiled, and with a gentle flick of his hand, a couple of clerical guards appeared behind him. “Take everyone in this room away. We’ll decide if to report further after interrogation.”

“As ordered!”

The guards in white-armor squeezed past Azem and started searching the unit.

And a moment, the elder brother who was in the room upstairs was brought down. He clearly remembered having already paid his dues, why was there a raid again?

“Is there any misunderstanding?” He tried to salvage the situation even though he knew exactly what kind of person his brother was.

Lin Sheng could not be bothered with nonsense and was about to step forward to search the room.

*Bammm!!*

Suddenly, dull thumping footsteps were heard outside the window.

*Bam! Bam! Bam!*

Everyone could see, through the glass window, a massive figure was making its way in this direction, step by step.

The streets were already in a mess, and ever since the monster’s attack, everyone had already hidden away somewhere safe. Leaving only cars piled up into a clump.

Anyone still outside now was either arrogant folks or those cleaning workers and the likes who had yet to change shifts.

Simply put, they were either lone wolves or workers.

The former was fine and dandy, as running fast was one of their capabilities, but the latter was different, most of them did not even have any basic combat ability, and it meant death if they were to run into any monsters.

Through the window, Lin Sheng and the rest rushed over to see what was going on outside.

A monster about fifteen meters tall was slowly making its way here with each thumping step.

It looked like a giant green gorilla, but it bore a more cautious look than a gorilla, seemingly much more intelligent than a normal one.

This was a fairly perfect-looking beast, with no mutations, nor any signs of corruption.

If not for its gargantuan size, Lin Sheng would have thought he had just seen a gorilla like the one in the zoo.

“Take them away first. The clerics in charge of this district will deal with the monster,” he said to the captain who had come afterward.

“Understood.”

“Well, see you later then.” Lin Sheng waved his hand.

“Oh right, sir. We have found these from the body search, please have a look,” a cleric behind him whispered.

Only then was Lin Sheng’s interest was piqued, as he turned back.

Over on the low table before the sofa, there was a pile of at least a dozen items.

Among them was the Tricolor Rubik, and an identification wallet.

Unlike the others, the moment Lin Sheng saw the Tricolor Rubik, he knew he was not mistaken!

There was something fishy with one of them.

“All right, that’s fine. They are already captured and secured. Interrogate them in detail later, perhaps we can gain more goodies from them,” Lin Sheng said as he picked up the Tricolor Rubik and spun it in his hand.

He could feel that the giant gorilla seemed to be making a beeline toward this object in his hand.

*Roarrr!!!*

The giant green gorilla roared furiously in the middle of the street as it flung its arms about to destroy the buildings around it.

“Bind.”

A calm voice rang out, and the giant gorilla shuddered immediately, seemingly suffering some kind of shock as it lost its mobility and stood in a stupor in place.

Taking advantage of that time, the patrols who had just arrived quickly sorted out their duties.

Soon, a series of offensive spells blasted out.

who had just arrived quickly sorted out their duties. A group of patrolmen started using all sorts of methods to attack the giant gorilla. From threads, attachable objects to simple animated beasts, to little effect, however.

Immediately after, their scattered attacks were unified by command as a series of white discs were thrown out, and this caused no small harm to the gorilla.

Lin Sheng stood by the window, as he looked down at the patrolmen using their own methods to fight against the giant beast before them.

“Dark powers are still more powerful than holy power when used offensively...” Lin Sheng said as he looked at the flashes of green light below.

A team member’s dark powers soon formed into the vine-like planet, and it looked truly animated.

That was rare even among the high-level Darksiders.

The dark power was originally a pure form of energy.

However, once this energy form was animated with some real seeds, then it would result in a true animation, and the energy form’s strength would be greatly increased.

Just like the person Lin Sheng was looking at now.

The vines in his hand did not require any control from him, and with just a command, the dark powers would accomplish it by itself.

Compared to the rest of his team members, this person seemed to be cruising along and fighting hard, but he actually had zero combat records.

“Second team, block it. Third team, weaken it,” that voice continued to command.

Lin Sheng had seen the brilliance behind the voice and was not too surprised.

Surely enough, with two patrol teams cooperating with each other, the gorilla efforts to break through was in vain.

Despite that, following a series of chains of holy power wrapping all around the gorilla, a seemingly laid-back youth with pale skin closed it with a dagger and stabbed at the gorilla’s throat with precision.

“Ufff!!”

Blood ran all over. Black smoke began to evaporate from the giant gorilla’s body as its frame began to shrink and wither.

Within bare moments, the fifteen-meter-tall gorilla had become a skinny, bone-thin old gorilla.

The rest of the patrolmen was relieved as they got close to have a better look.

“This gorilla does not look all that different from the ones you’ll find in the zero.” Lin Sheng was a little interested, but since the gorilla was too weak, it failed to pique any more of his interest. “Forget it. Let’s go back.”

Now he was sure that the patrol teams within the Holy Sanctum’s surroundings were sufficient to deal with any danger or trouble that may appear.

With the double blessing of the purification field and the Tower of Dusk, even a One-winged cleric could unleash powers akin to a Two-winger.
