Chapter 492 The Future of Collapse

At seven o'clock in the morning, Fuya had just woken up and logged into the game on time.

It was very embarrassing to be blocked offline in the game last night, but she did not forget that she had a plan to kidnap the saint this morning, so she got up early and started preparations.

[You appear on the streets of Glory City. 】

[As soon as you appeared, you felt several arrows coming from behind you, but they were blocked by the magic shield around you. 】

[You look back and see two sentries standing a few meters away. One of them turns back in a hurry, seemingly going to report, while the other draws his sword and rushes towards you. 】

[Two fire spears burst out from your hands, instantly piercing through the charging soldiers. Another fireball drew an arc under your control, accurately hitting another person and knocking him to the ground, but the magic flare in the opponent's hand But he has already taken the lead. 】

[The signal bomb flew high into the sky and exploded into a bright firework in the sky. 】

[The moment the fireworks explode, you suddenly hear the roar of people around you, and a large number of knights pour out from the streets in all directions, charging towards you...]

"There is indeed an ambush..."

Fuya curled her lips. She was offline last night and characters disappeared out of thin air on the street. It was normal for the other party to send people to guard near the teleportation point. She was mentally prepared for this.

Fuya then sent a prepared scroll and a card into the game.

[A large number of knights quickly surrounded you, and the leading knights threw out several special magic-sealing iron nets. Dense iron nets form in the sky, blocking your escape route and coming towards you...]

[You tore up the scroll of ‘Transfer Technique’ in your hand, and you appeared in an alleyway one kilometer away. 】

[You activated the hermit card and entered the invisible state...]

In order to escape from the siege, Fuya simply used a precious transfer scroll. After this thing is activated, it will be instantly teleported to one kilometer away in a certain direction, and will be prioritized to areas with thin energy, that is, places with few people. , which can be regarded as a very practical life-saving tool.

As for the Hermit Card, Mu You naturally lent it to her. Most of the chasing knights have anti-stealth methods, but no matter how anti-stealth is, it must be within a certain distance to take effect. At this time, the depth provided by the Hermit Card Being invisible can go a long way.

Fuya then remained invisible and began to move toward the city center. Once a pursuer approached, she immediately stopped her movements, entered deep invisibility, and waited for the pursuers to leave before continuing her action.

After moving so carefully for half an hour, Fuya finally found the square where Saint Fang was speaking.

[You arrive at the outskirts of Saints Square. 】

[In the large square in front, thousands of men and women are neatly scattered around the venue, kneeling and sitting on the ground, listening to the teachings of the saint above under the rising sun. There is a goblin on each person's shoulder, who is equally pious. Listen to the preaching. 】

[And outside the square, there are more people and goblins gathered. Everyone pricked up their ears and listened as much as possible to every word spoken by the saint. Everyone's faces showed incomparable piety and fanaticism. It seems that being able to hear the voice of the saint is the greatest luck today...]

"..."

Fuya wanted to take back her preamble. The people in this city didn't seem to be normal. They could be so enthusiastic even after listening to a routine speech. The religious worship atmosphere in this city was obviously a bit too extreme.

[You look up and see in the center of the venue, a middle-aged man wearing a white robe and exuding golden light, standing on a high platform, reading out the speech in his hand unhurriedly, his gentle voice seems to contain The wonderful appeal can make the creatures who listen to these words instinctively calm down...]

Fuya originally wanted to control the character to see the saint's appearance clearly from outside. If she could match Mu You's clone, she wouldn't have to be exposed.

It's a pity that this guy actually has his own holy light, which greatly increases the difficulty of observation. After waiting for a long time, the game text has never been able to give a detailed description of the other party's appearance.

Fuya soon became impatient and continued to control the character to move towards the inside of the square.

[You stealth and sneak towards the center of the square, carefully avoiding all the believers along the way, getting closer and closer to the central platform...]

[Just when you were sneaking to only ten meters away from the saint, an ordinary citizen next to you and the goblin on your shoulder seemed to have noticed something unusual, and suddenly sprinkled a handful of dust in your direction. 】

[Floating dust falls and hangs everywhere around you. Although it does not directly break you out of invisibility, the falling dust still vaguely outlines the curves of your figure in the air. 】

["Who!?" Several guarding knights patrolling near the high platform suddenly shouted loudly, drawing their swords and rushing toward you. 】

["There is an assassin!" Someone shouted, and the scene suddenly became an uproar, with screams everywhere. People near you instinctively got up and fled, leaving an open space to make you more conspicuous. 】

"do not care……"

Fuya frowned. Since she had been exposed, she simply stopped hiding. The controlled character appeared and violently released her only forbidden spell: Flame Dragon Dance!

[A blazing fire magic array appeared under your feet. Dozens of fire dragons emerged from the array, roaring and rushing towards the knights around them. 】

[Densely packed flame dragons circled in mid-air, spraying dragon breath downwards. The scene was immediately rendered into a sea of ​​fire. Under the heat wave, many residents who could not escape were burned to charcoal on the spot. Even the guarding knights had to retreat. Temporarily avoid the sharp edge of the Flame Dragon. 】

[You rode on a broom, and under the cover of a large number of fire dragons, you easily broke through the siege and reached the top of the platform. ]

[But you noticed that the guards and people below saw your actions, not only did they not come to rescue the saint, but they all showed a look of ridicule that overestimated their own abilities. ]

["You actually want to attack the saint, too naive!"]

["The saint is a master who faced the Lord of Disaster alone and did not lose..."]

["Saint, don't kill her, influence her, let this confused person also convert to your teachings..."]

[Amid the discussions around you, you approached the platform without any hindrance. The legendary white-robed saint is already in front of you. What do you choose...]

Fuya didn't dare to be careless. She quickly opened the panel and quickly pressed a lot in the magic column, throwing out all the high-level attack magic she could use.

She thought that the other party was the lord of a city after all, and was worshipped by so many people without thinking, so his strength must be strong. It was still unclear whether her burst would work, so she showed no mercy when she started. She even finished a round of spells and immediately drank a bottle of big magic potion, ready for another round. As a result...

[A large amount of fire magic burst out from your hands, and the raging flames swept through, instantly rendering the entire platform into a sea of ​​hellfire...]

[However, under your full-strength attack, you found that the saint in white did not make any defensive moves, but fell to the ground with horror on his face, and the layers of magic shields formed by props around him kept lighting up and quickly shattering. ]

[Soon, all the life-saving props on the saint in white were consumed, and his health value fell at a speed visible to the naked eye in the sea of ​​fire, and instantly dropped to the bottom...]

"Huh?"

Fuya was stunned. The saint who was praised by a group of people below as the world's number one master was actually so weak?

It's okay if you rely on props for defense, you should at least resist, how can you just slide to your knees when you meet...

There was no time to think about it. Seeing that the text was already prompting that the opponent was in a dying state, she hurriedly canceled all subsequent attacks. If she really killed the opponent in one wave, she didn't know where she would be teleported after resurrection.

[You hurriedly withdrew your hand, swooped down, landed beside the fallen saint, and waved your staff to release the "Silence Spell" and "Fire Snake Imprisonment". ]

[Several long flame snakes swam like ropes, trapping the saint's whole body tightly and making him unable to move. ]

[You captured the "White-robed Saint". ]

["Don't, don't kill me, you recognized the wrong person..." ]

["I'm not a saint, I'm just a substitute for the saint..." ]

[The white-robed saint was tied up like a dumpling by the fire snakes. Under the threat of the fangs of several snake heads, his whole body trembled like a sieve, and he kept making excuses. 】

"Substitute?"

Fuya was dumbfounded. She had finally managed to sneak here, even exposing herself, to capture this so-called saint, only to be told that what she caught was a fake?

【"Where is the real saint?" you asked immediately. 】

【"I don't know. The saint disappeared more than a thousand years ago. A mysterious fairy found me and asked me to pretend to be the saint. She also promised me many benefits, so I was 'forced' to disguise myself... Anyway, this has nothing to do with me. I am innocent. Don't kill me. I know nothing..." The man in white completely lost his image, crying and begging for mercy from you. 】

【At this time, you suddenly noticed that your conversation was clearly transmitted to everyone and the fairy present through the broadcast amplification device on the high platform in front of you, and immediately caused a commotion in the square. 】

【"The Saint... is a fake?"】

【"The Saint we have worshipped for so many years is just a fake?"】

【"How could this happen? Where did the Saint go? Did he abandon us..."】

【"No, this is impossible. The Saint is the embodiment of selflessness, greatness, and kindness. The Saint will never abandon us. This must be the conspiracy of the Lord of Disaster..."】

【You looked down. The square was already in chaos. Some people looked confused, some cried bitterly, some tried to comfort themselves, some went crazy, and even the guardian knights showed more or less the collapse of faith. At this time, everyone forgot your existence. 】

【"Ah!" A scream suddenly sounded in the crowd. You turned your head and saw that somewhere in the square below, a goblin suddenly fell to the ground with its head covered in pain, twitching violently, and a large amount of black air poured out of its body. 】

【After just a few seconds, the goblin was completely swallowed by the black gas and turned into a black worm several meters long, with its bloody mouth wide open, roaring and screaming at the surrounding crowd. 】

【"It's a monster!" "The monster that disappeared for hundreds of years has appeared again..." "Help..." Amid the shouts of the crowd, the black worm pounced on the nearest goblin. The unfortunate goblin was instantly dismembered and crushed by the monster and swallowed into its body. Soon, more black gas poured out of the worm's body and condensed into a new strange flying insect beside it...】

【"No, go kill the monster..." The guardian knights who were originally chasing you were all shocked, and hurriedly turned their guns around and charged towards the two monsters in the square. 】

【Under the siege of more than a dozen knights, the two monsters were quickly surrounded and killed, and turned into black gas and disappeared while wailing. 】

【However, not long after the monster died, another goblin among the fleeing crowd in the distance had a mental breakdown, fell to the ground in pain, and soon turned into a new monster insect...】

[The breath of darkness seemed to be contagious. More and more fairies fell down and turned into monsters. They all roared and rushed towards other fairies and humans around them...]

"Is this a monster?" Fuya was a little frightened.

She had heard about this kind of thing from Mu You a long time ago, but she had never encountered it. She thought it was something that only existed in ancient times.

I didn't expect that there would be one in this era, but the monsters on Mu You's side didn't seem to attack locals, but the monsters in this era seemed to attack indiscriminately, so they would be strangled by everyone as soon as they appeared.

However, the current situation seemed a little bad...

[...There were fairies turning into monsters at the scene, but the knights who had the ability to fight the monsters were stretched to their limits. They could only watch the monsters increase in number and spread rapidly like a plague...]

Fuya looked at the latest text prompt. She didn't know what the conditions for this kind of thing to appear were, but according to the current trend, it wouldn't be long before the entire city would be completely submerged by the crazy increase of monsters.

[Just when the Golden City was in chaos, you suddenly heard a familiar dragon roar coming from above your head. ]

[You looked up and saw a purple two-headed dragon descending from the sky, its wings spread out to block out the sun, and it landed on the edge of the square with a strong wind. On one of the dragon heads, a masked fairy girl with blue hair and blue wings appeared again. ]

[At the same time, you heard the deafening shouts of killing coming from the direction outside the city. ]

["Oh no, the army of the Land of Disaster is coming..." Someone shouted below, and the already chaotic scene suddenly became more chaotic. ]

["Witch, why did you invade our main city for no reason? Do you want to take advantage of the fire?" A knight ran to the bottom of the two-headed dragon and questioned the blue-haired fairy on the dragon head. ]

["There is a weirdness in your main city, and the Lord of Disaster believes that you are not capable of clearing it. According to the 'Weird Extinction Convention', our army will help you clear the weirdness." The blue-haired fairy replied in a cold tone. ]

["Nonsense! The affairs of the City of Glory do not need outsiders to intervene, we can handle it ourselves!" The knight said hurriedly. 】

【"This is not up to you..." As the blue fairy finished speaking, the two-headed dragon immediately raised its two dragon heads and spewed ice flames and dragon breath at the square below...】

【The blended ice and fire quickly spread to the vicinity of the high platform. The fake white-robed saint was terrified and hurriedly begged you to save him and leave. He didn't want to die here...】

【You demanded that the other party must tell you the whereabouts of the white-robed saint, otherwise you would let him fend for himself here. 】

【"I really don't know... Oh, by the way, the mysterious fairy who came to me a thousand years ago mentioned a place name before leaving. It seemed to be called 'Dark Cave' or something. Maybe it was related to the disappeared saint..." The fake saint was desperately trying to recall his life and finally gave a suspected clue. 】

【You hurriedly asked the other party where the 'Dark Cave' was? 】

【"I don't know. There is no such place in the Bitter Garden..." The fake saint said in a panic. 】

Fuya frowned, wondering if this guy had just made up a name to fool her.

Unfortunately, she didn't have time to think about it. The indiscriminate attack of the two-headed dragon had already affected her, and the game was warning her to flee the scene as soon as possible.

Fuya quickly manipulated the character to throw the fake into the backpack, and then directly exited the game.

"How is it?" Mu You had actually been watching from the side, but he didn't dare to disturb her because she was busy operating. It was not until he saw Fuya exit the game that he hurriedly asked.

"The two sides are fighting again, I can only log off first..." Fuya said helplessly.

"Again?"

"..."

Fuya was also a little embarrassed. After she came to the Bitter Garden, it seemed that she had only been to two places throughout the whole process, and wars broke out in both places, making her seem like a disaster star, fighting wherever she went.

If the last war in the Principality of Rose had little to do with her, but this time, it seemed that it was really because she exposed the fact that the saint was a fake in public that directly led to the collapse of the Glory City.
