Chapter 102: Chapter102-The King of the Dark Realm Appears

The Dark Race members on the streets all looked up.

"What is that?!"

"Enemy attack!"

"It’s that human again!"

The guards near the teleportation arrays went pale.

The Fire Dragons were already descending from every direction.

There was nowhere to run!

But just as the flames were about to slam into the teleportation arrays—

BUZZ—!!!

The magical patterns covering all five teleportation arrays lit up at the same time!

Massive amounts of black-and-red smoke suddenly erupted from beneath the ground without warning.

BOOM!

All sixteen Fire Dragons crashed straight into it.

Blazing flames exploded violently!

The entire area instantly transformed into a Sea of Flames.

But when the firelight finally faded slightly.

The smile on John’s face disappeared completely.

They weren’t damaged.

Not a single one!

The black-and-red smoke seemed almost alive as it swirled around the five teleportation arrays, forcibly blocking every trace of flame outside.

Forget the foundations of the arrays.

Even the outermost magical patterns hadn’t suffered any obvious damage.

"There’s a defensive mechanism too?"

John frowned slightly.

Just then.

The black-and-red smoke suddenly began surging upward.

At first, it only covered the teleportation array district.

But in the blink of an eye, the dense fog rose above the surrounding buildings, gathering and expanding continuously over Night City.

An enormous silhouette gradually emerged from deep within the smoke.

A crown rested upon its head.

A long robe draped over its body.

Its entire face was hidden in darkness.

Only a pair of crimson eyes remained clearly visible.

The moment that enormous phantom fully condensed—

BOOM—!!!

A terrifying pressure suddenly descended!

For an instant, the entire Night City seemed to fall silent.

The Dark Race members on the streets merely glanced upward, and their expressions changed in unison.

Then.

Figures dropped to their knees one after another.

"Lord Night King!"

"Greetings, Lord Night King!"

"Lord Night King!!!"

The cries spread rapidly outward from the teleportation arrays.

Before long.

Almost the entire city was echoing with the same name.

Night King!

...

At the gates of Night City.

Grey had just arrived.

Not far away.

Rosaline had also finished preparing for battle.

The target of her challenge this time had originally been one of the current Twelve Witches—

The Ash Witch.

What annoyed Rosaline, however.

Was that the Ash Witch herself hadn’t even shown up.

Claiming that she was handling important matters, she had directly appointed Grey as her representative instead.

Rosaline had immediately been displeased.

She had once been one of the Twelve Witches herself, after all.

She had been imprisoned for over a hundred years.

Now that she had finally returned and was preparing to challenge for a Witch seat again.

The other side wouldn’t even show her face?

She was sending a subordinate to deal with her instead?

What was that supposed to mean?

Was she looking down on her?

But before Rosaline could lose her temper.

The distant night sky was suddenly swallowed by black-and-red light.

The smile on Rosaline’s face vanished instantly.

Grey whipped his head around as well.

Their gazes passed over the countless buildings inside the city at the same time.

And the enormous projection towering above the teleportation arrays came clearly into view.

Rosaline’s pupils contracted sharply.

"Not good. It’s a Night King Projection!"

Grey’s expression changed as well.

The next second.

BOOM!

The ground beneath his feet exploded.

His massive body turned into a blur as he charged toward the teleportation array district without the slightest hesitation.

Rosaline didn’t move immediately.

She simply remained where she was, staring at the distant Night King Projection.

She truly hadn’t expected it.

The Night King had actually left behind a contingency like this on the five legion teleportation arrays.

This was going to be troublesome.

However...

Rosaline’s gaze flickered slightly.

According to the terms of their deal.

Her job was to find a way to lure Grey away from the teleportation arrays.

And now.

She had done exactly that.

The deal was complete.

As for whether that little guy could escape alive from here...

That was no longer something she could interfere with.

Besides, after the Night King Projection appeared.

The nature of the entire situation had completely changed.

Before this.

She had merely made a private deal with a human.

He helped her recover her grimoire.

She helped him lure Grey away.

Each side got what they needed.

But now, the Night King himself had appeared.

If she continued helping John.

Then it would no longer be a transaction.

It would be betrayal of her own race.

Rosaline let out a soft sigh.

"You really know how to cause trouble for people."

Then.

Her figure flashed.

And she rushed back into the city as well.

...

Teleportation Array Plaza.

John ignored the Dark Race members kneeling all around him.

His eyes lit up faintly.

[Hunter’s Eye!]

His gaze instantly locked onto the enormous phantom in the sky.

[Night King Projection]

[Level: Lv130]

[Life Tier: ???]

[HP: ???]

[Physical Attack: ???]

[Spell Power: ???]

[Physical Defense: ???]

[Magic Defense: ???]

[Talents: ???]

[Skills: ???]

[Warning: Target level far exceeds current detection limit!]

The corner of John’s eye twitched slightly.

Lv130.

And he was only Lv39 right now.

There was a full ninety-one-level gap between them.

No wonder everything except the name and level.

Was nothing but question marks.

And the most ridiculous part was—

This wasn’t even the real body in front of him.

It was only a projection!

John looked up at the absurdly long HP bar above the Night King.

And quickly reached a conclusion in his mind.

Dangerous.

At least far more dangerous than Grey.

With a level gap this huge.

Even if the other party stood still and let him attack.

John probably wouldn’t be able to deal with him in just one or two hits.

At the same time.

The Night King slowly lowered his head.

Those crimson eyes quickly locked onto John.

With nothing more than a single glance.

The disguise covering John’s body began fluctuating violently.

BUZZ—

[Faceless Shadow Mask is being disrupted by a high-tier power!]

The dark green robe was still there.

But the human aura it had originally concealed.

Was now completely exposed.

The Night King’s icy voice descended from high above.

"A human dares to infiltrate the Dark Realm and cause this much chaos in my Night City."

There was no obvious anger in his voice.

Instead, his calmness was enough to send a chill down the spine.

"I’ll give you two choices."

"Either I dismantle your soul piece by piece and leave you screaming here for a hundred years, or you tell me exactly how the humans entered the Dark Realm, how many of you came, and what your objective is."

"I can give you a quick death."

John didn’t answer.

But a tremendous crash suddenly came from the distance.

BOOM!

Grey dropped from the top of a building.

His heavy body slammed into the edge of the plaza.

Then, without the slightest hesitation, he dropped to one knee.

"Lord Night King, this subordinate has failed in his duty. I allowed a human to infiltrate Night City, resulting in successive attacks on both the treasury and the legion district. I ask Lord Night King to punish me."

No explanations.

No excuses.

The Night King replied with only two words.

"Useless trash."

As soon as the words fell.

He casually swept out one hand.

BOOM—!!!

A black-and-red shockwave instantly tore through the air!

Grey didn’t even attempt to dodge.

BANG!

His enormous body was blasted away on the spot.

He smashed through several stone pillars along the way before finally forcing himself to a stop, his feet carving two deep trenches through the ground.

PFFT!

A mouthful of blood sprayed out.

At the same time.

A massive damage number appeared before John’s eyes.

[-1,068,417!]
