MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again
Chapter 68 - 68 67 Hope Sea City Silver Summoning Spell

68: Chapter 67 Hope Sea City, Silver Summoning Spell 68: Chapter 67 Hope Sea City, Silver Summoning Spell The two walked leisurely through the city of ruins and broken walls, and apart from a few lucky survivors bustling about for food, they didn’t see a single soldier from the Eight Great Families.

“Hey!

You, come here!” Lu Hong grabbed a seemingly clever young scamp and asked, “What happened in Hope Sea City?”

“Do you have any food?

Give me something to eat, and I’ll tell you everything,” the kid said stubbornly.

“Ah ha, trying to make a deal with me?” Lu Hong raised an eyebrow.

“Not with you.” The kid corrected himself, “I’m making a deal with this young lady next to you.”

Lu Hong was taken aback then burst out laughing, “Why do you think making a deal with her would work?”

“Because my mom said that beautiful women are kind-hearted,” the kid blurted out without thinking, perhaps this was something a stepmother might say.

“I think he’s not wrong,” Lai Li seriously nodded, “I am indeed very kind-hearted.”

“Okay, fine, you ask him then.

He seems to be the most informed here, and probably knows a lot,” said Lu Hong, stepping back to let Lai Li ask.

“That’s right, I know everything that happened in Hope Sea City.” Lu Hong had not misjudged the person.

“Then I’ll ask you, which way leads to the Sea of Flames?” Lai Li asked directly.

“Give me food, and I will tell you,” the kid repeated his initial condition.

Lai Li spoke as if she hadn’t heard him, “You have three seconds.

If you don’t tell me, I will take matters into my own hands.”

“Take action?

What can you do to me?

If you kill me, I still won’t live past tomorrow without food,” the young scamp obviously feared death, his head shrunk back, but then he thought about it and still talked tough.

“Then I’ll just do it myself,” said Lai Li, reaching out with her delicate white fingers toward the kid’s crown.

“Damn it!” Lu Hong was shocked and quickly intervened, “What are you doing?

He’s just a survivor.

Do you need to use Soul Search on him?

If you do, won’t that make him an idiot?”

“It’s too troublesome.

I just asked him, and he wouldn’t tell,” Lai Li said irritably, “This is quicker.”

While the two were arguing, the kid’s face was filled with terror.

Just as Lai Li made her move, he seemed to see countless lost souls beckoning to him.

Although the kid was only a lowly third-level thief, he could still tell how many lives this beautiful woman had taken.

“I’ll talk, I’ll talk.

From here, head east, keep going past the city gate, and about seven thousand miles away is the edge of the Sea of Flames,” the kid, overwhelmed by Lai Li’s show of force, quickly replied without the courage to negotiate any further.

“Eh?

Why did you speak up on your own?” Lu Hong was surprised but didn’t dwell on it; perhaps Lai Li’s action had intimidated him.

He then continued, “Was Hope Sea City breached by the Eight Great Families?

Did this happen a few days ago?

What’s the situation inside the city now?”

“Five days ago, a group of soldiers from the silver family launched a sudden assault on Hope Sea City, aided by a large number of the mercenary group.

With a scarce garrison, the city fell completely within a day,” the kid paused and continued, “But these past few days, the silver family doesn’t seem to want to take control of Hope Sea City.

They’re all holed up at the city gates, and all four gates are sealed shut; nobody can get out.

The survivors from the battle are now struggling for food, turning on each other.”

After listening to the kid, Lu Hong asked with confusion, “Do you know why the silver family only locks the city down and doesn’t enter?”

But the kid shook his head, “I don’t know, but it’s surely nothing good.

Plus, those who died in the city are being absorbed by a mysterious force into the air and disappearing, which is why the streets seem so empty.

At first, there were bodies everywhere.”

At this moment, Lai Li frowned and said, “Silver Summoning Spell.”

“Silver Summoning Spell?” Lu Hong had never heard of it before.

“You can go now.

Remember to strive to survive,” Lai Li said, taking out a portion of her own cooked food from her Space Ring and handing it to the kid.

“Thank you, miss!” the kid clutched the precious food to his chest, and after making sure no one noticed, he ran away like smoke.

When the mischievous child had completely disappeared, Lai Li finally said, “Actually, the Eight Great Families are not the original inhabitants of the Continent of God’s Grace.

During the development of the Sacred Empire, it was essential to invade other dimensional planes.

However, some of these planes have been unified and are immensely powerful.

For the empire, the value in warring with other planes lies in plundering, so they certainly wouldn’t engage in actions where the cost is damaging oneself severely.

Therefore, someone proposed to incorporate these powerful planes into the empire, eventually forming the current Eight Great Families.”

“The Silver Family was the dominant force of the silver plane back then, occupying the entire plane.

Initially, when the empire invaded the silver plane, they fought a battle of a million men against them.

In the end, the Silver Family was defeated, but their foundation was so strong that they held out against the empire for hundreds of years until the empire recognized their family’s capabilities and brought them back to establish the Silver Family in the Continent of God’s Grace.” Lai Li revealed the history of the Silver Family, implying that these Eight Great Families were originally of Emperor Clan status; if not for the greater power of the Sacred Empire, these eight families might still be ruling their own planes.

“What the hell is this ‘Silver Summoning Spell’?” Lu Hong felt like he had gained a lot of new knowledge and continued to inquire.

“It is said that when the empire invaded the silver plane, although a million-strong army broke through the Silver Family’s full-scale national defense, the empire’s losses were also extremely heavy.

Among them, an army of three hundred thousand men named Border Patrol was wiped out by a single magic attack.”

“A single magic attack?

Only a Heavenly God could do that, right?” Lu Hong didn’t believe it.

If there were beings at the Heavenly God Level, the empire wouldn’t have been able to defeat the silver plane.

“It wasn’t an attack by a Heavenly God Level being but instead this ‘Silver Summoning Spell’ above our heads,” said Lai Li.

“This is the forbidden joint summoning spell of the Silver Family.

It is said that there is a fragment of a continent scattered across the silver plane, and the Silver Family spent a thousand years laying a huge Array over that plane.

The Silver Summoning Spell is to summon the projection of that continental fragment to carry out a devastating strike; the range of this attack is sufficient to shatter one-tenth of the empire’s territory.”

One-tenth may sound small, but in reality, it’s enough to cause the empire to suffer an unprecedented catastrophe; once the Silver Summoning Spell is cast, the empire will surely lose hundreds of millions of lives!

“That powerful?” Lu Hong smacked his lips, believing such a powerful spell couldn’t be easy to execute.

“No matter, we just have to destroy it,” Lai Li wasn’t worried at all.

“After all, the spell requires too much power to be successfully launched in a short time.

In a moment, we just need to destroy one of the spellcasting sites to avert this crisis for the empire.”

“It’s good that I came out with you.

If it had been your dad going out, I’m afraid he wouldn’t care, right?” Lu Hong said, relieved.

“That’s not true.

If it really came to a life-or-death situation for the empire, my father wouldn’t stand by idly.” Lai Li gave Lu Hong a disdainful look, then headed towards the eastern gate that the mischievous child had pointed to.

Logically, the Arrays for spellcasting should be set up around the four major districts of Hope Sea City.

Sure enough, the closer they got to the city gate, the more often they saw family soldiers blocking civilians.

“Who goes there?

Kill them…” The captain of the ten-person squad hadn’t finished speaking when he fell to the ground, lifeless.

The members of his squad also met the same fate, dying mysteriously without a struggle.

Lu Hong knew it was Lai Li’s spell, Soul Rip.

As a rare profession, a Soul Walker’s strength was indeed formidable, with nearly all their spells related to the soul.

For those who hadn’t reached the Third Transition, Lai Li could easily tear their souls apart without exerting much effort, unfortunately for them not having reached the Third Transition, they couldn’t cultivate Soul Power.

“I think ‘Gaze of Death’ would suit your move better,” Lu Hong said, feeling secure with strong support at his side.

“I could kill them without even looking at them,” Lai Li explained.

“Uh…

okay then, ‘Soul Rip’ it is.”

Before long, the two of them made their way to the eastern gate of Hope Sea City.

“Give me…” The same formula, a familiar scene unfolded as the soldiers fell powerless to the ground one by one.

Their bodies then began to lift into the air and mysteriously disappeared, indicating that flesh and blood were likely a kind of supply to energize the Silver Summoning Spell.

Moreover, the lives of the residents of a lone Hope Sea City were surely not enough; more bodies were continuously being transported to the city gate.

It seemed that the Eight Great Families had occupied Hope Sea City because of its secluded location, making the activation of the Silver Summoning Spell less likely to be noticed.

As batches of soldiers inexplicably fell, it finally alarmed the Third Transition powerhouses guarding the place.

“Who are you?

Why are you inside Hope Sea City?” At this point, eight Third Transition powerhouses stood atop the city gate tower, looking down at Lai Li and Lu Hong.

“The one who will kill you.” Lai Li was merciless and not one for many words, and she immediately activated her spell, with a shrill scream echoing to the heavens.

The ten Third Transition powerhouses staggered as if struck, dizzy, and bleeding from their orifices.

“Are you a Soul Walker?!” These ten were not without insight and recognized Lai Li’s profession right away.

“Don’t give her another chance to cast!” one of the Third Transition Flame Ascenders spoke up.

Then, the ten Third Transition powerhouses activated their Skills and charged towards Lai Li.
