Chapter 538 Dawn is Coming
Chapter 538 Dawn is Coming
May 47, year 5 of the Last Calendar.
When the long night passed, the morning light once again shone on the fortress.
Fortress TV broadcast that after half a day of negotiations, the three tribes reached an agreement. From now on, all parties will start a partial ceasefire. Sixteen of the twenty-six districts will be separated and given to werewolves and vampires.
Overnight, a huge change destroyed the peaceful daily life of the fortress.
The streets were filled with hordes of zombies. Except for Chiyoda District, Central District and Port District, Taiko had no actual control over other human districts. The citizens hid in their homes, living in constant fear, and order was difficult to rebuild in the midst of collapse.
Adachi Ward, convenience store.
Zhuang Ya carefully took the Imperial Sword and shaved off the rotten flesh from someone's wound. There were nine wounds, and black mist lingered. For ordinary gold, this was a strong sense of death that would easily disappear with the slightest touch.
[Executive exclusive reminder: You have 30 minutes to death]
Jiang He calmly opened the time ring, and the nine black and white swords suddenly disappeared. But when the power of time subsided, the accumulated death of all the creatures in the fortress reappeared.
[Executive exclusive reminder: You have 8 hours left before death]
"There's something." Jiang He thought to himself. The death intent eroded his vitality, and the most obvious manifestation was that his whole body felt soft and weak.
Not far away, Lilith crossed her arms across her chest and said seriously, "Except for you, no non-hero can survive this sword. This should be a killer move prepared for complete heroes."
"The formation formed by the nine immortal secret swords has locked you in. The dead bodies on the ground are energy. Time restoration alone is unlikely to solve the problem, unless you find a way to lock you in. Then, activating the time ring in a targeted manner may work."
"Otherwise, it will slowly wear away. There is no infinite energy source. If the sword formation wants to maintain this killing power, it will consume a lot of energy. It will only last for a month at most. After all, it is rare to find a pervert who can revive three times a day."
Lilith almost made it clear: "As a hero, if you want to put together this kind of harsh swordsmanship that can bypass the time ring, it takes years and months to accumulate the formation. What you are facing now is roughly the use of this accumulation of contingency."
"The First True Ancestor?"
"The second possibility is unlikely to exist."
Lilith pondered for a moment and swallowed back a guess. The death of living beings actually has a special impact on the power of the local world consciousness. Her child may have suffered an "unprovoked disaster" in some sense.
"You killed too many monarchs too quickly, which caused public outrage. This was foreseeable. In addition, the enemy's targeting meant that they knew of the existence of the time ring."
Jiang He did not comment. At present, he was still short of three swords of power to collect all the swords. The First True Ancestor did not want to see that moment come so soon.
The point is - it's not that they don't want it, but they don't want it to happen too quickly. The opponent wants the seven swords to gather at the right time, otherwise they can launch an attack at the very beginning, or even directly attack in the face.
Jiang He asked: "If we withdraw from the fortress, can we cut off the energy supply of the sword formation?"
Lilith spread her hands and said sincerely: "In the apocalyptic era, what if there are more lives that died outside the fortress before?"
Jiang He said nothing, so he took the opportunity to continue improving himself and stay alive. He needed two or three time cycles a day to recover. During this period, he was not suitable for high-intensity combat, except for beating weak opponents.
It is worth mentioning that the current fortress is a true doomsday era, and ordinary creatures can only struggle to survive.
Jiang He activated the power of the Lord of Gluttony.
The three spatial abilities of King's Landing, Eternal Night Hunter and Flash Blade's Lament were injected into the Power and Space. His status had now reached the immortal level due to the promotion of his life level.
[Hint: Your spatial power has been upgraded to the immortal level]
Jiang He opened the space channel, but did not go in. Instead, he used self-control to adjust it. The space channel gradually shrank and became an extremely thin line.
The line was pushed out, and the area in front of him was cut in half. The cut was smooth, and the sharpness was even slightly beyond the sub-legendary sharpness of the Dragon Spear. One of the cans was teleported away in the middle, and remained on both sides, causing huge damage. "Dragon Spear Technique: Space Slash."
"But this move needs to consider the world's energy level and solidity. It is estimated that it will be difficult to use the immortal-level space power to perform space slash in a fifth-order world. Simple teleportation is not a big problem."
Jiang He was not worried about this. For Gluttony, strengthening his abilities was not a difficult thing.
The next moment, the shadow of the imperial city appeared.
Jiang He shaped it into the form of a domain line, then intertwined it with the domain line, and finally went deep into the underground of the Tokyo Fortress. If he could complete the full coverage, he could increase the volume of the portable space again at the end of the mission.
[Spatial coverage: 1%]
"Boss, I found out something."
Wuhe flapped his wings and flew over, reporting, "Not long after you fought with the True Ancestor of the Night, Silver Blade sent a piece of information to the secretary's office of the principal of the Magic Department. The specific content is unknown, but the confidentiality level is the same as that of Super Magic. He is currently in the Magic Department. When I received the information, you were launching the Eternal Tribulation Time against the Edogawa District, so you should not have alerted the other party yet."
"Then let's go find him." Jiang He said calmly. He and Yin Ren had some friendship, but it was far from deep.
Half a quarter of an hour later, the vehicle parked outside the convenience store started. Zhuang Ya and Jiang He sat in the back seat. The job of driving was naturally given to Kamishiro Mirai, who was in charge of the adjutant function.
……
Bunkyo District, Magic High School.
After the battle with the Anti-Demon Alliance and the attack by the zombie tide, there were still more than 2,000 students from the four schools. Relying on the campus, the students built a defensive wall and gathered together at this moment waiting for Taiko's rescue.
"Everyone, I have some bad news."
"The Gray Lord has sent a letter that Taiko will not send support."
Because of the death of the Blue Monarch he admired, Amagi Tsubasa looked a little withered, and said weakly: "Taikou said that we are magicians, and ordinary citizens need more limited help. Not only that, the Nine Clans Conference requires us to establish a human base, gather and appease the citizens, garrison the Bunkyo District, and be on guard against the Blood True Ancestor in the marginal areas."
"Who's going to deal with the True Ancestor? Let me do it?"
"We've gathered the citizens, but there's not enough food for everyone every day."
"Three outbound logistics teams have gone missing, and military-grade zombie beasts are beginning to appear. It's very dangerous!"
"It's this hour now, where is Principal Tachibana?"
In the hall where the opening ceremony was held, students were talking about the matter. At first, most of the magicians were very brave in the battle against the Anti-Magic Alliance, but as the situation changed, not only did no one redeem their military merits and rewards, but there was also a shortage of supplies and medical care. No monarch was even willing to take responsibility.
Of course, no one knew that the monarch was almost dead.
Tiancheng Yi looked around. At present, the students were divided into several camps, the Exploration Academy headed by himself, the Legion Academy headed by Onoyama, the Demon Academy headed by the Dragon Queen and Silver Blade, and the Nine Clan Academy headed by families as a bond.
Although there are many magicians, the most urgent task is the huge daily food consumption. The clan of the Blood True Ancestor has already set its sights on this place, and a large number of nobles are hiding around the Magic Department, waiting for an opportunity to hunt down magicians who have no survival and combat experience.
