Reincarnation of The Strongest Sword God

1641-1660

Chapter 1641 - Demon King's Descent

Twenty-meter-tall walls surrounded Ancient Rock City, strengthened by magic runes. Even powerful players would not be able to scale these walls. Furthermore, a defensive magic array protected Ancient Rock City, so even if players managed to climb the walls, the magic array would stop them in their tracks.

Normally, players could only enter Ancient Rock City through its main entrance.

If players with nefarious intentions couldn't even break past these two defenses, they'd have no hope of getting past the NPCs patrolling the city, and their attempts would be for naught.

Due to the Orc Empire's unique environment, players consumed Stamina and Concentration more quickly in the area. The only way they could recover their lost Stamina and concentration was to enter a magic array-enclosed town or city.

Currently, a long line of players waited patiently outside of Ancient Rock City's main entrance. They would only be permitted entry after they had been inspected by the city's NPC soldiers.

"This inspection is really annoying. Heaven's Burial actually refuses to let cloaked players into the city and is adamant that we reveal our identities."

"They're likely afraid of players from enemy factions sneaking into the city. There are so many superpowers keeping an eye on Ancient Rock City, and if they decided to take action within the city's walls, Heaven's Burial's losses will be no laughing matter."

"They're overly worried. Causing trouble in Ancient Rock City is easier said than done. Plenty of NPC soldiers and players constantly patrol the city. If anyone does anything odd, they'll likely die before they can do any actual damage."

"Indeed. Heaven's Burial is just being too careful. With such powerful defenses, not even the Super Guilds can do anything to the city."

...

As the players in line discussed Ancient Rock City's strict security, they all agreed that Heaven's Burial was being too sensitive. Ancient Rock City wasn't even under players full control, and as a result, formidable NPCs guarded the city. Even if players wanted to attack the city, there was nothing they could do at this stage of the game.

"Huh? Guys, look. Someone's up there!"

"Crap! Who is that? He's actually flying!"

"What's he trying to do?"

"He isn't trying to attack the city, is he?"

"Attack the city? Are you kidding me? Ancient Rock City's defensive magic array isn't just for show. Current players can't go up against it. He must be trying to get a better look at the city's situation."

"Who is that guy? He sure has guts! Isn't he afraid that Heaven's Burial will try to kill him?"

When the crowd queued up to enter Ancient Rock City saw the figure in the sky, they couldn't help their growing curiosity.

The players outside of Ancient Rock City weren't the only ones to notice Shi Feng. The players within the city's walls noticed him as well, and his appearance instantly caused a commotion.

...

Meanwhile, in Heaven's Burial's Residence...

"Guild Leader, someone has suddenly appeared above the city. By the looks of it, he seems to be a player," a Level 49 Ranger announced after entering the Guild Leader's office. "Should we send the patrol squads to eliminate him?"

Normally, they didn't bother with players as long as they didn't try to cause any trouble.

However, this unknown player dared to look down on Ancient Rock City from above. This was a blatant insult to Heaven's Burial. If they did not teach this player a lesson, it could impact the Guild's prestige.
