Chapter 115: Chapter115-Slaughtering the City

"Spread out!"

"Don’t bunch together!"

"Healers, get the frontline back up!"

"Mage squads, prepare to counterattack!"

Orders from Gray Ledger’s commanders rang out one after another.

Large numbers of players rushed out from buildings across the city.

Some tried to repair the city core.

Some organized melee squads and charged toward the gates.

Others climbed onto higher ground, preparing to lock onto John’s position.

Their reaction was already fast enough.

Unfortunately.

John had no intention of giving them time to reorganize.

He raised his staff.

"Time to clear the field."

The moment his voice fell—

The sky suddenly darkened.

A massive dragon wreathed in black flames pushed its head out from the void, its enormous body nearly covering half the sky.

The next second.

Fire Dragon plunged downward.

Black flames spread wildly through the streets, instantly engulfing the first wave of melee players rushing out.

But the flames didn’t remain in place.

They continued leaping between nearby players.

One player had barely escaped from the Sea of Flames when the fire clinging to his body transformed into several streaks of black light and shot toward his nearby teammates.

[-184,632]

[-201,447]

[Burn Effect Triggered!]

[Chain Damage Triggered!]

Dense damage numbers rose from the crowd.

Gray Ledger’s formation was torn apart on the spot.

Immediately afterward.

A patch of distorted darkness appeared in the center of the city.

A Black Hole slowly took shape.

The surrounding air seemed to be seized by an invisible force.

Loose stones, shattered wooden boards, and scattered equipment were all dragged toward its center.

The players’ bodies also began sliding toward the Black Hole against their will.

"Run!"

"It’s an AOE skill!"

"Get out of its range!"

Some desperately tried to flee.

But the pulling force only grew stronger.

They had barely managed a few steps before their bodies were violently dragged backward.

Large numbers of Gray Ledger members crashed into one another.

Their skills and attacks completely lost their aim.

The healers tried to raise their hands and cast.

But the teammates beside them had already been swallowed by the darkness.

Along the edge of the Black Hole.

Void Spears condensed one after another.

They didn’t fall immediately.

Instead, they hovered in midair, constantly adjusting their trajectories as the Black Hole dragged the crowd together.

The next second.

Every spear shot forward at once.

Black light tore through the mass of players.

[Critical Hit!]

[Equipment Shattered!]

[Equipment Shattered!]

[Void Corrosion Triggered!]

The durability of Gray Ledger’s equipment plummeted wildly.

Lower-grade gear shattered on the spot, turning into countless motes of light.

The players who had still hoped to resist through numbers and equipment completely lost their will to fight after seeing that.

"My weapon broke!"

"What kind of skill is this?!"

"Where’s the Guild Leader? Tell him to do something!"

"We can’t fight this at all!"

The shouting inside the city became more and more chaotic.

John ignored them.

He raised his hand and deployed Icefire Flame Array above the city.

Crimson and deep blue intertwined, forming an enormous magic formation that covered more than half the city.

Flames poured down from the edges of the formation.

At the same time, ice rapidly spread across the streets.

Ground that had been burning only a moment ago was covered by thick layers of frost in the blink of an eye.

Players rushing forward slipped underfoot, their movements immediately slowing.

Then—

Dense pillars of flame erupted from beneath the ice.

Ice and fire exploded in alternating waves.

The entire district seemed to have been thrown into a furnace.

Building walls repeatedly cracked under the alternating assault of extreme heat and freezing cold.

Defensive installations on the walls exploded one after another.

Even the ground of the central plaza split open with spiderweb-like cracks.

Gray Ledger’s players began fleeing in every direction.

Some hid inside buildings.

Others tried to escape through the teleportation array.

But during a Guild War, all teleportation functions within the city had already been locked by the system.

They could only watch helplessly as John’s skills covered the entire headquarters.

The Void Staff in John’s hand lit up once again.

Void Spears fell like a torrential downpour.

Every spear precisely locked onto a player.

There was nowhere to dodge.

No time to breathe.

Resurrection lights repeatedly appeared throughout the city, only to be extinguished again under the next wave of attacks.

The four Void Emissaries also charged into the city.

They swung their pitch-black greatswords and advanced straight down the streets.

Any Gray Ledger member who tried to approach was sent flying by a blade wave.

Any ranged attack that struck them was immediately reflected back.

For a time—

Gray Ledger’s frontline didn’t dare approach.

Their backline didn’t dare attack.

The entire battle had completely lost any semblance of balance.

"Is he really still a player?"

"How can one person cast this many skills?"

"Why hasn’t his MP run out yet?!"

Someone stared desperately into the sky.

John’s skills still hadn’t stopped.

Every kill continued feeding him new Strength.

Heart of Void kept beating.

His MP cycled continuously between consumption and recovery.

His attack frequency was even faster than when the battle had begun.

Fire Dragon rampaged through the city.

Black Hole devoured entire groups of players.

Icefire Flame Array continued covering the battlefield.

Void Spears constantly erupted from the sky, the ground, and spatial rifts.

The entire Gray Ledger city—

Had become a battlefield.

The walls began collapsing.

The streets were torn apart by fire and frost.

Buildings fell one after another.

The defensive installations that Gray Ledger had once been so proud of were reduced to ruins in mere moments.

The players watching from afar grew louder and louder.

"Endbringer is insane!"

"Gray Ledger is finished!"

"One person did this to an entire city?!"

"This is ridiculous!"

John floated above the ruins.

He looked down at the Gray Ledger members still struggling below.

Then raised his staff once more.

The final wave of skills came crashing down.

The entire city shook violently beneath deafening explosions.

The domed roof of the central hall collapsed with a thunderous crash.

Gray Ledger’s banner snapped from its pole high above, burning as it fell into the ruins.

John slowly descended to the ground.

Around him remained nothing but rolling flames, shattered buildings, and fading motes of light.

...

News of the battle quickly spread throughout the entire server.

Large numbers of players teleported into the nearby area.

They didn’t participate in the battle.

They simply stood in the distance and watched.

And when they saw that one man suppressing the entirety of Gray Ledger by himself—

Everyone went wild.

"Endbringer is fucking awesome!"

"One man against an entire guild!"

"This is way too ridiculous!"

"Gray Ledger seriously picked the wrong person to mess with today!"

Cheers continued ringing out.

Meanwhile.

Inside the city.

Gray Ledger’s members had completely lost the ability to resist.

Their defenses—

Gone.

Their upper ranks—

Killed again and again.

Even the Guild Leader himself could do nothing but dodge John’s skills.

John walked straight into the central hall.

The four Void Emissaries followed behind him.

At this moment.

Gray Ledger, once so arrogant and untouchable—

Had been completely crushed.

John walked up to the Guild Leader.

He looked down at the man’s miserable appearance.

"Remember today."

"You picked the one person you should never have provoked."

The Gray Ledger Guild Leader lay on the ground.

Then suddenly laughed.

"You really think..."

"The game is everything?"

John frowned slightly.

"What do you mean?"

The Guild Leader stared at him.

His voice dropped lower.

"I suggest you don’t sleep too deeply."

"When you get home tonight..."

"You’d better check your doors and windows."

The air instantly fell silent.

John’s gaze turned ice-cold.

The Void Staff rose slightly.

A streak of black light flashed.

BOOM!

The Gray Ledger Guild Leader’s HP was instantly emptied.

His body dissolved into motes of light.

John stood there.

He didn’t say another word.

Then—

He directly logged out of the game.

...
