Chapter 40: The Disaster Back Then

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

In front of Lu Yuan, frost elements condensed and formed an ice spike that stabbed straight at Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan’s heart could not help but thump.

What was going on? He was actually discovered?

Without much time to think, Lu Yuan sidestepped and barely managed to dodge the ice spike.

The ice spike missed!

Lu Yuan frowned slightly and confirmed that he was still in the Stealth state, but had indeed been seen through.

There was something very wrong with this person!

[System notification: Current mission progress has been updated, Face the Apostle mission completed.]

[System notification: Current mission progress has been updated, Investigate the Frost Worship Grounds (5/5)!]

Following the system notifications, Lu Yuan confirmed that this person was the apostle!

He did not expect that the deepest part of the Frost Worship Ground would be controlled by the apostle!

One of the speculations in Lu Yuan’s heart was thus confirmed.

“Oh? I didn’t expect you to be able to dodge it.”

Roar!

A series of roars sounded in the surroundings.

As the apostle’s ice spike stabbed at him, the surrounding giant frost bear kings’ alarms were triggered and they were enraged.

Lu Yuan looked at the surrounding bear kings in their enraged state and knew in his heart that things were not looking good, he had to quickly escape.

Thus, Lu Yuan directly escaped.

When he entered, the route was already deeply engraved in his mind.

Therefore, when he escaped, he had already planned his escape route.

The bear kings’ attack power was very high, but their weakness was that they were too heavy and slow.

Therefore, before the bear kings’ attacks landed, Lu Yuan had already positioned himself and dodged.

He bypassed the bear kings’ encirclement one by one and quickly escaped from the underground Ice Palace.

The bear kings underground were all furious. They weren’t willing to give up and were about to mobilize all their forces to kill Lu Yuan.

“Forget it. Just let him go. He’s just a mere ant. There’s nothing to be afraid of. Wait until I absorb the power of the Heart of Frost. When that time comes, the entire Amber City will be no match for me!”

The apostle had a sinister smile on his face. He casually spoke evil words as if he was saying something very common.

Lu Yuan ran all the way and his Shadow Following state had long ended.

He was in a sorry state after escaping.

However, when he saw that there were no more pursuers behind him, he could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

Finally, they stopped chasing after him. Otherwise, he would definitely have died here today.

When Lu Yuan recalled the last few minutes, he could not help but break out in a cold sweat. He did not expect the apostle to be able to see through his Stealth state.

After all, his Stealth was from a thief’s legendary skill, Shadow Following.

Even a question mark level boss was unable to not see through it.

It also proved indirectly that the apostle was really strong.

To be able to escape from such a desperate situation, Lu Yuan could not help but break out in a cold sweat.

Along the way, he also encountered some violent frost monsters.

There was no longer any code of conduct among them, and they were just plainly causing chaos and destruction.

Fortunately, their levels were not very high, so Lu Yuan easily cleared them out.

Lu Yuan guessed that the monster riots should be related to the apostle.

Everything was the work of the apostle.

In his previous life, Lu Yuan had experienced the disaster in Amber City.

The descent of the blizzard, and the tsunami-like monster wave that the apostle had led to attack Amber City.

Lu Yuan still remembered the tragedy back then.

Countless monsters had appeared endlessly on the horizon.

And all of this was caused by the apostle.

At that time, the apostle was extremely powerful and had grasped the power of frost. He even had the shadow of Hernas on him.

Back then, all the battle forces in Amber City were mobilized.

The city protection runes and the city protection great array shone for three whole days!

Even the players participated, but they suffered heavy casualties.

Each player died at least three times, meaning they lost three levels consecutively.

At that time, the epic battle scene at the foot of the city made people’s blood boil.

Most of the players, even if they lost their levels, would still attack the monsters and defend the city.

There were even some players who had dropped back to level 10 and lost all their equipment. However, they still tried their best to kill the monsters and defend the city.

As such, the battle was recorded in the annals of history.

However, the final outcome…

The apostle’s strength was too great, and the city’s defense was finally exhausted.

The city protection great array lost its luster.

Amber City was destroyed.

The players in Amber City were forced to go offline.

No one knew what happened during the period when they were offline.

When the players went online again, all they saw was the Amber City which was being gradually rebuilt amidst the ruins.

There were smoke and broken ruins everywhere. There were also countless corpses and painful wails.

The scene of hell on Earth that the players saw the moment they went back online,

Lu Yuan still remembered it clearly.

The instigator of this disaster was the apostle!

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan could not help but clench his fists.

He only regretted that he did not have enough power.

Lu Yuan quickly returned to Rogge’s Magic Research Institute.

He pushed the door open and walked in.

“Hey, kid, you’re back so soon?”

Solaka could not help but be surprised when he saw Lu Yuan return.

This time, Lu Yuan had to investigate five Frost Worship Grounds, and not just one.

He did not expect Lu Yuan to be so fast.

Lu Yuan’s mood was heavy, and he immediately handed in the mission.

After receiving the results of Lu Yuan’s investigation, Solaka and Rogge were silent.

Rogge gulped down a mouthful of wine!

“I told you! The monster riots were controlled by someone behind the scenes! I didn’t expect it to be an apostle of Hernas!”

Solaka was also in disbelief.

“I didn’t expect that demon to still have an apostle in the human world!”

Rogge took another gulp of wine and burped.

“I don’t think he’s an apostle that survived from back then. Recently, Hernas has been making moves to once again infiltrate the human world. This person should be a newly promoted apostle!”

Upon hearing Rogge’s speculations, Solaka pondered for a moment and said, “In that case, the apostle’s power is not very strong yet.”

Then, he could not help but look at Lu Yuan.

“Kid, what do you think?”

Lu Yuan frowned slightly. “I can’t see the depth of the apostle’s power, but I can feel that his power still needs some time to grow. Otherwise, I would have long been dead, it would’ve been impossible for me to come out alive.”

After hearing Lu Yuan’s words, with a wave of his hand, Rogge said, “Then what are we waiting for! We must exterminate the apostle! The existence of this kind of guy is a threat to Amber City!”

Solaka was also silent for a moment.

This was not a small matter.

To mobilize Amber City’s military power was not something that Rogge had a say in.

At this moment, Lu Yuan opened his mouth promptly and said, “Perhaps we can ask the Princess for help.”
