Chapter 272 – Dark Suppression
As time went by, the number of creatures invading Sky Halberd Domain increased, mixed amongst them were also powerful existences.
As Yang Tian was in seclusion, everything within Sky Halberd Domain was basically managed by Wang Yu trio. As for Lina, she remained within Sky Halberd Palace and literally did not go outdoors. Other than Wang Yu, no one else within Sky Halberd Domain had seen Lina before.
However, Lina appeared and stood on the city walls of Sky Halberd King Manor today, she was staring at a specific direction in the sky.
This was the third month since Lina arrived in Sky Halberd King Manor and this was the first time she appeared in Sky Halberd Domain alone.
“Sister Wang Yu, what place is that in that direction?”
Wang Yu was the only person Lina knew as well; the former was also on the city walls and replied.
“That is the North City of Sky Halberd Domain, why?”
“North City is now in danger.”
Wang Yu was startled by Lina’s words, she was about to ask Lina the details when she suddenly saw a rider on a Flying Beast Dark Slime flying towards Sky Halberd King Manor.
“North City’s metahuman?”
Wang Yu recognizes the rider immediately and looked at Lina bewildered.
How did she know?
“Madam, madam, something bad happened!”
The metahuman from North City was covered in fresh streaks of blood, the Dark Slime he was riding on was also badly injured.
“What happened?”
Wang Yu quickly asked when she saw the rider’s bad shape.
The North City was not weak, plus it could also obtain support from Northeast City and Northwest City, yet they have reached a point that they needed to seek support from Sky Halberd City. This could only mean that they have encountered a problem that they could not solve.
“A large number of otherworld creatures have appeared outside North City, the creatures are very strong, even with the support from two other cities, we are still unable to stop them!”
“What!”
Wang Yu could not help but be surprised, the North City has a hundred High Rank 3 Dark Slimes stationed there, even if a Peak Rank 3 appears, they should still be able to deal with it.
“Even a hundred High Rank 3 Dark Slimes could not stop them?”
“Madam Wang Yu, for some unknown reasons, the Dark Slimes lost their will to fight when they encounter the invaders. This is also the main reason we came to seek help. We are unable to stop the invading creatures without the support of the Dark Slimes.”
Wang Yu did not understand why such a situation happened, but Yang Tian was still in seclusion, so she needs to head to the front lines to support.
Wang Yu brought Xu Dafu, Lei Xing, plus Brain-Eating Terror Hog, T-Rex and a hundred High Rank 3 Dark Slimes with her. She was still finding it hard to believe and decided to bring the Dark Slimes in Sky Halberd City to see if they could make any difference.
Wang Yu brought the rider from North City as well and they quickly traveled at their fastest speed towards North City.
The moment they saw North City, Wang Yu could sense a wave of Dark Energy. The terrifying Dark Energy sent a shiver through Wang Yu and gave her the impulse to retreat, this was the same for Xu Dafu and Lei Xing as well. What surprised them as well was that the Dark Slimes that they had brought along were all cowering on the spot, not wanting to take another step forward.
“This is what happened to the Dark Slimes in North City as well. They would not respond to us no matter what we did.”
Wang Yu was temporarily at a loss, she had not felt this way even during the period when Yang Tian was not in Sky Halberd Domain because she has the Dark Slimes under her command. However, seeing the crippling state of the Dark Slimes now has caused Wang Yu to slightly panic.
When Lei Xing saw Wang Yu’s look, he said:
“We need to quickly head to the North City first, we can discuss the next steps later.”
The group left the hundred Dark Slimes as they were; four humans and two beasts continued moving to North City.
Only after they entered North City, did the group noticed how terrifying were the creatures North City was facing.
Peak Rank 3 Dark Creature, Night Giant Komodo
Peak Rank 3 Dark Creature, Shadow Frost Snake
And several dozens of the Mid Rank 3 Dark Creature, Black Shell Ant.
North City Lord was only High Rank 3, the loss of the Dark Slimes meant that North City could not win the enemies in front of them even if all three cities combined their entire forces.
The fortunate thing was that the Dark Creatures stopped attacking after their first assault. This gave North City the chance to request help from Sky Halberd City.
“North City Lord, when did these creatures appeared?” Wang Yu asked.
North City Lord’s expression looked better when he saw Wang Yu’s group arrived.
“They suddenly appeared outside the gate this morning, there were no indications of their arrival, it was as though they had appeared out of thin air.”
Especially the two Peak Rank 3 Dark Creatures, just by standing there, they were causing huge pressure to the people nearby. The Dark Slimes not being able to move was what gave them the most headache.
Fortunately, Brain-Eating Terror Hog has reached Peak Rank 3 and could hold back one of the Peak Rank 3 Dark Creatures, while T-Rex could hold back the other one with some difficulty. As for the remaining Mid Rank 3s, they would need to work together to get rid of them.
This was the only solution they could come up with now.
After Wang Yu’s group left Sky Halberd City, a powerful energy suddenly erupted from within Sky Halberd Palace. Lina, who was still standing on the city wall, sensed the energy at the same time and revealed a delighted expression.
Yang Tian had finally left seclusion, a Rank 4 External Arts Martialist. His Fire Ability had also reached Rank 4 while his Earth and Wind Ability was still at Peak Rank 3 because they have not met the requirements to be promoted to Rank 4. Even with the increase in his Martialist Rank, this factor still needs to be fulfilled before promotion becomes possible.
The Wind and Earth Ability requires the metahuman to absorb a Rank 4 energy crystal of the respective attribute; this was also the most simple way of promoting. As Yang Tian’s main fighting power was not from his Wind and Earth Attributes, that was why he decided to promote them using the simplest method available.
Yang Tian saw Lina the moment he left seclusion, seeing her happy expression also brightened Yang Tian’s mood.
“You are finally out.”
“Why? Miss me?” Yang Tian could not help but joke.
However, Lina quickly withdrew her happy expression and explained what she heard from the North City’s metahuman.
“It is an energy that you dislike greatly?”
“Yes.”
To only energies that Lina dislike was Undead or Dark, Yang Tian’s impression that it was likely Undead as Dark Creatures should not appear on Earth at this current point of time.
“Let’s go find out!”
Yang Tian brought Lina along and headed for North City. After reaching Rank 4, Yang Tian’s speed has doubled from before.
