Reborn into A Slash Game

Chapter 28 - Mauer City Turned Into Ruins

Mauer City which was one of the three main cities of the Humans turned into ruins overnight, shocking the whole continent of Yalance.

This event was different from the fall of the Elves’ Holy Tree. It became widely known that the buildings were wholly reduced to ashes and that not even a single evidence was found. Later on, there was no way of knowing the truth of the matter.

That was because the people related to this event seemed to have disappeared together with this main city.

It was as if a punishment from the heavens descended where the people were unable to fight back and could only silently wait for their annihilation.

Did Suo Fei die?

No, he survived. Moreover, he was the one and only surviving eye-witness.

He managed to break free from the chain at the last minute, but he wasn’t stupid enough to turn tail and flee. Instead, he took out all the furs in his interspatial bag in one go using the fastest speed he could muster in his entire lifetime. Then, he hastily folded them and wrapped layers and layers of fur over his body.

Of course, he didn’t forget about the little cub. In fact, the beast was extremely sensitive. It was keenly aware of the danger so it wrapped itself like a zongzi together with Suo Fei. The two hugged each other and huddled into the smallest ball they could manage to make the best use of the fur.

Even then, when everything had calmed down, the furs of the Frostflame Beast, the Ten-Coloured Cockatrice, and the fifth-grade ferocious beast, which died tragically, that he worked hard to collect had been turned to scraps.

The furs had heaven-defying defensive power. He was initially rolled up in more than ten layers, but in the end, he was only covered by one layer of scorched fur. From this, it could be seen how frightening the damage was.

As for the defenseless Aryan and the unknown blue-haired person, Suo Fei suspected that they were already dead with not even a hair left behind. Although dying this way was letting them off a little too lightly, they already died and he could not rewind time to change it.

Moreover, he really had no mood to think about such matters. Such a significant event had happened so it will inevitably cause a sensation throughout the whole of Yalance. At that time, the other races would definitely deploy ‘peacekeeping forces’. If they discovered that there were still people alive in the ruins, the matter would cause a greater commotion.

Therefore, it was utmost priority for them to quickly escape.

He crawled out of the chaotic mess. Fortunately, he had wrapped himself with a sufficient number of layers. Although he felt some pain in his body, there were no serious injuries. The little cub was rather quiet as it must have been scared witless. Even so, it also did not sustain any major injuries.

Suo Fei looked around and caught sight of a demon youth lying in the midst of the rubbles.

He quickly ran over. Samael’s clothes had been torn to pieces. He laid quietly in the ruins, as if he had already stopped breathing. Suo Fei’s heart jolted. He hastened to place his fingers under Samael’s nose and was greatly relieved when he felt a weak breathing.

It seemed that he was only exhausted. After thinking about it, Suo Fei realised that it would have been strange if he was not exhausted after releasing the Blast Wave that was comparable to a nuclear weapon.

The scene before his eyes was strangely somewhat familiar. It seemed like the first time he met Samael in Knuhl Forest was also like this. However, back then, he was frightened to death by the demon. At this time, he was not afraid even though he knew that Samael destroyed the entire city.

Taking a deep breath, Suo Fei meticulously examined Samael’s condition. Each of his limbs had a cut that was no less than ten centimetres long which should be Aryan’s doing.

Suo Fei carefully leaned over and gently kissed each of the wounds. He saw the wounds healing as he had hoped.

Samael had lost a lot of blood. He had consumed too much so it was impossible for him to regain his consciousness within a short time. Suo Fei had no choice but to pick up the Asura Blade and fasten it to his waist. Then, he lifted Samael up with all his might.

He already had a plan. Aryan’s master bedroom certainly must have a teleportation array. Otherwise, the blue-haired person couldn’t have appeared so unexpectedly. Right now, they could only rely on that teleportation array to leave.

He found the teleportation array that was emitting a light glow without much trouble.

Suo Fei hastened over but he suddenly realised a problem after arriving. How does this thing work? Can he just stand within the array? Does he need to select his destination?

When he played the game, if he wanted to teleport, he only needed to click with a mouse and the teleportation array would prompt him to choose where to go. But, how should he do it now?

How can he click without a mouse?!

Could it be that he has to use his hand to click it? Or is it by thought? Does he only need to think about where he wanted to go, stand within the array, then it would bring him there?

I don’t get it, but I’m impressedah!

He pondered for quite a while. There were only the unconscious beautiful young boy and the unspeaking little cub. In any case, he could not just wait for their demise. He could only take his chances.

He carried Samael on his back and held the little cub in his arms. With his big family in tow, he entered the teleportation array.

Then, he really had no selection ah! As for thoughts and whatnots, he already became dizzy before he could even think it over.

What Suo Fei didn’t know was that the teleportation array was a fixed teleportation array. Under normal circumstances, it could only teleport to the designated destination. However, teleportation array-kun was also damaged under Samael’s powerful Blast Wave.

With such a dysfunctional teleportation array, if he had some sense, he would not be so stupid as to step into it. If they were not lucky enough, it was highly likely for them to be torn to pieces.

Even if they had better luck, it would still be uncertain as to where they would be transported. They may even get trapped within the spatial magic.

After Suo Fei and Samael had left, the debilitated teleportation array also disappeared with a whirring sound.

...

A man donned in black appeared out of nowhere in the ruined Mauer City. He had a tall stature, but he was wholly covered in black. Except for the shiny jet-black fur on his collar, not the least bit of lustre could be seen from top to bottom.

The place was a chaotic ruin, but he walked leisurely as if he was strolling through a beautiful back garden. Although his face couldn’t be seen, it was difficult to ignore his imposing manner.

He went to where the teleportation array had disappeared and paused slightly before he continued walking forward.

He stood where Aryan’s master bedroom was located and looked around. Then, he walked north with a clear goal: the scene of the incident, the root of all tragedy.

He didn’t do any peculiar action the entire time until he stopped.

He quietly chanted an incantation. The content was ancient and unfamiliar, but his voice was pleasant to listen to. It was an alto that was not too high nor too low. It was smooth and steady, seeming to calm people’s minds.

The incantation ended and a shocking scene appeared.

The debris of the buildings disintegrated and vanished after a while, revealing the sight beneath them.

There was a crushed body. He was missing an arm and a leg and had a huge gaping wound on his chest. His elegant blue hair was still dazzling. His eyes were open but they were hollow and soulless.

The black-robed man smiled, seemingly muttering to himself, “The injury is really bad this time.”

Naturally, no one responded to him. However, it was clearly a dead body that was already not breathing and yet, he still used the word ‘injury’.

The next moment, his slender, fair-skinned bony hand extended out of the black robe and hovered above the body. He closed his eyes and recited a long incantation. An orb of intense black slowly gathered in his hand. Then, it fell and shrouded the corpse on the ground.

After that, something magical happened.

The torn-off arm and leg rapidly drew near the body. Within the black mist, the severed limbs rejoined with the body and returned to its uninjured state.

After a while, the blue-haired person sprang to their feet and immediately bowed down upon seeing the black-robed man, “Master.”

Placing his hand on top of the blue-haired man’s head, the black-robed man whispered, “Summer, tell me everything that happened.”

“Yes.”

The blue-haired man called Summer calmly recounted what had happened without the slightest fluctuation in his voice, narrating the events clearly and coherently.

After listening, the black-robed man pondered for a while before he smilingly said, “Very well, you did a great job.”

Summer kept his head down and did not say any superfluous words.

The black-robed man looked at him with satisfaction. Then, as if he had just thought of something, he asked him, “What about Aryan? Go find him.”

“Yes, master.”

As soon as he had spoken, Summer quickly took action. His speed was so fast that he couldn’t be seen by the naked eye. Not long after, he ‘found’ Aryan in the ruins.

Aryan was in no better condition than Summer. His blond hair was in a mess and his body was damaged to an astonishing degree, especially the horrifying fatal injury on his chest. There was no doubt that he was completely dead.

“Master, forgive me. Summer has not protected him well.”

The black-robed man smiled and said, “It’s fine. Since he summoned you, then it could be regarded as him agreeing to join us. His condition doesn’t matter. Take him back and turn him into a human puppet.

“Yes, master.”

The two people left.

A shichen had passed when Mauer City welcomed its second batch of guests.

A whole party of trolls unexpectedly appeared in this deserted and messy place. Their imposing manner was so great that it seemed like it could cover the whole sky. The troll leading them was especially lofty and strong. His pair of tusks were sticking out his mouth, his eyes were bell-like and his face had boorish features. It was precisely the King of Trolls —— Balnor.

At this time, when he saw Aryan’s mansion reduced to such a state, his huge brown eyes were filled with panic.

He ordered with a voice that was almost a growl, “Go search! As long as it is a survivor, bring them all over!”

The troll’s loud voice died out and the group fanned out in all directions.

Balnor himself also scoured the place. His huge body moved the rubbles cautiously as he was afraid that if he was too rough, he would hurt the person buried underneath them.

Aryan... Aryan... He kept muttering the name in his mind, as if it could calm down his almost frantic heart. He’ll be fine, he’s definitely... definitely alive.

They searched endlessly from dusk till dawn. After three days and three nights, his last kindled hope was extinguished.

At this very moment, the eyes of the King of Trolls who searched without rest were red.

The paper in his hand was crushed into powder and the veins on his forehead throbbed.

He gnashed his teeth and growled, “...I’ll definitely make them pay a heavy price for this!”

The black-robed man looked at the blue-haired person who had just returned and asked rather unhurriedly, “Have you delivered it?”

Summer answered in a low voice, “Yes, Balnor accepted that Aryan is already dead and that the murderers are Samael Launay and Sofey Evans.

“Very good.”

...

Suo Fei was propelled out of nowhere. Naturally, he fell. He fell to the ground under such gravitational acceleration but miraculously, he only uttered out a soft cry.

The next moment, he realised that something was wrong so he quickly got up.

F**k me, I was clearly carrying Samael so why is it that I’m now on top of him?!

Samael was already so weak. If he pressed him down, he might die.

Suo Fei panicked and wanted to examine him but then the little cub, this thing, fell from the sky directly crashing onto Samael with a pow.
