Chapter 95: Chapter95-Empty It All! Leave Nothing Behind!

Buzz—

A pitch-black spatial rift opened behind him.

The next second.

John started sweeping the place clean.

Equipment racks?

Take them.

Skill books?

Take them.

Material crates?

Take them.

Gold coins?

Take the chests too.

[You have obtained A-rank Equipment ×17!]

[You have obtained A-rank Skill Books ×6!]

[You have obtained S-rank Material: Darkstar Ore ×42!]

[Gold Coins +...]

[You have obtained...]

The system notifications barely stopped for even a second.

Wherever John went.

Nothing remained.

The Void Arsenal had no capacity limit.

In theory.

As long as something counted as a collectible item.

He could stuff the entire treasury inside it.

In just a few short minutes.

The underground chamber that had once been packed with treasures rapidly became empty.

Only after the central area had been almost completely cleaned out.

Did John raise his head again.

And look toward the twelve treasures mounted on the walls.

"That’s about it."

The truly expensive stuff.

Started now.

He first walked over to Rosaline’s grimoire.

His hand passed through the magical barrier.

And closed around the spine.

He gave it a slight pull.

Click.

The grimoire came free from its display stand.

At that exact instant.

A piercing alarm echoed throughout the entire underground chamber!

BUZZ—!!!

All twelve display platforms lit up with scarlet light at the same time!

[Warning!]

[Abnormal movement detected among the Night City Treasury’s core items!]

[Highest-Level Alert triggered!]

"As expected."

John wasn’t surprised in the slightest.

BOOM!

The ten-meter-tall dark-gold door ahead suddenly swung inward!

Heavy footsteps sounded almost simultaneously.

"Lock down the treasury!"

"The target is inside!"

"Kill him!"

Dozens of black-armored guards charged in.

At the very front.

Was Ottor!

The moment he entered the treasury.

He saw the shelves that had once been packed full.

Empty.

Every chest was empty.

The materials section was empty too.

Then he looked toward the center.

A hunched old man in a dark green robe was standing there.

And in his hand was one of the treasury’s most important treasures.

The corner of Ottor’s eye twitched violently.

The next second.

His roar shook the underground chamber!

"KILL HIM!!!"

John turned around.

The grimoire in his hand disappeared directly into the Void Arsenal.

"Perfect timing."

The Void Staff shed its disguise.

Its black-and-gold shaft appeared in his hand.

John raised the tip of the staff.

"Void Spear."

BUZZ—!!!

Black-and-gold spears instantly unfolded behind him!

[Projectile Split ×3 triggered!]

Eight Void Spears!

[Multicast triggered!]

Another eight!

A full sixteen spears locked onto the enemies ahead at the same time!

Ottor’s pupils contracted sharply.

"Defend!"

Too late.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh—!

All sixteen Void Spears shot forward at once!

The Lv40 guards at the very front didn’t even have time to raise their shields.

The spears had already pierced through their bodies.

[-883,200!]

[-883,200!]

[Cleave triggered!]

[-2,649,600!]

BOOM—!!!

A terrifying impact exploded across the narrow treasury entrance.

The ordinary guards’ HP evaporated on the spot.

Before their bodies even hit the ground.

The large group of soldiers behind them had already been wiped out by the Cleave damage as well!

Ottor roared.

He swung his heavy axe across his body.

And blocked two spears in succession.

But the third had already punched straight through his chest armor.

[-883,200!]

His HP plummeted!

The fourth followed immediately.

[-883,200!]

The fifth!

[-883,200!]

Two million HP.

Zero!

Ottor’s massive body froze in place.

He lowered his head and looked at his chest.

As though even at the moment of death.

He still couldn’t understand what had happened.

He had only just led his men inside.

How was it already over?

BOOM!

His corpse crashed heavily to the floor.

The entire treasury entrance.

Fell silent in an instant.

[Ding!]

[You have killed Lv50 Citybreaker Tier BOSS — Ottor · Darkseal!]

A flood of system notifications exploded across John’s vision.

But he didn’t even look at them.

Rosaline had said it.

One minute.

From the moment the alarm went off.

He had one minute at most!

"There’s still more."

John immediately turned around.

Eleven treasures remained on the walls.

Take as many as possible!

He yanked down the nearest silver-white goblet.

And glanced at its information along the way.

[Silver Tear]

[Quality: SS-rank Special Item]

[Effect: Immediately resets the cooldowns of all current non-Divine skills, equipment, talents, and traits!]

[For 30 minutes after use, all non-Divine cooldown effects will be unable to enter cooldown!]

John abruptly stopped in his tracks.

"Holy shit?"

This thing...

His skills were already being reduced to zero cooldown through [CD-- ×2].

The things that were still genuinely restricted by cooldowns.

Were actually certain traits and special effects.

In other words.

The most important value of this item.

Wasn’t resetting skills.

It was resetting traits!

Thirty minutes with no cooldowns.

A genuine trump card.

"Good stuff!"

Take it!

John was just about to grab another item.

When dense footsteps were already sounding overhead.

The entire City Lord Mansion had erupted into chaos.

CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG—!!!

Alarm bells rang throughout Night City!

No time left.

"Go!"

[Void Shift!]

Buzz—

John repeatedly slipped into the void.

Passing straight through the treasury wall.

The underground corridor.

Then another layer.

Two layers.

Three layers.

After several flashes.

BOOM!

He burst directly out from the side of the City Lord Mansion!

But the moment he landed.

He saw that the streets were already packed with soldiers.

"There!"

"Catch him!"

"Seal off the streets!"

Hundreds of Dark Realm soldiers rapidly surrounded him.

Farther away.

Entire formations of troops were assembling.

John swept his gaze over them.

But didn’t rush to leave.

Aya was still nearby.

According to the plan the two of them had made earlier.

The moment the treasury alarm was triggered.

John would draw all the firepower away.

Aya would clear the area.

So right now...

The bigger the commotion, the better.

John raised the Void Staff.

"Fire Dragon."

ROAR—!!!

Sixteen Fire Dragons soared into the air at once!

The next second.

"Gravity Black Hole."

Buzz!

Pitch-black points began opening above the City Lord Mansion.

Terrifying gravitational force erupted instantly!

Rooftops.

Stone blocks.

Soldiers.

War machines.

Countless objects were ripped off the ground!

The entire district descended into chaos.

"He’s here!"

"Everyone, get over here!"

"Human invasion!"

Fire Dragons roared.

Black holes rampaged.

Nearly everyone’s attention was drawn to John in an instant.

Good.

Aya should have plenty of breathing room now.

John was just about to pull the fighting a little farther away.

When suddenly.

A furious roar exploded from behind the City Lord Mansion!

"HUMAN!!!"

The instant that voice rang out.

John’s expression changed.

That voice...

The next second.

BOOM!!!

A distant building exploded apart!

A massive figure more than five meters tall burst through the smoke and dust.

Crimson hair whipped wildly behind him.

Heavy black armor covered his entire body.

Two broad-bladed giant cleavers were already gripped in his hands.

Grey!

"Fuck."

"How did he get back so fast?"

Grey had clearly spotted John as well.

The dim yellow light in his eyes almost became tangible.

One of his enormous blades came crashing down!

BOOM—!!!

A black-and-red blade wave more than ten meters tall instantly tore across the street!

Buildings along its path were sliced straight apart.

A deep fissure split open across the ground.

Its speed was terrifying!

John’s pupils contracted.

[Void Shift!]

Buzz!

His body instantly slipped into the void.

The blade wave swept through the spot where he had been standing.

RUMBLE!

Half the street behind him was blown apart!

John reappeared twenty meters away.

But Grey’s movements suddenly paused.

Entering the void.

Then emerging somewhere else.

This method of movement...

He had seen it countless times in the battle reports sent back from the front lines!
