Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Kelsey’s Words, the Enemy Appears, the Sword as the Boundary
The White City, City Center.
Time passed slowly. After Aiden finished arranging everything, he held the Epic Iron Dragon’s Magic Staff, wore the Iron Dragon’s Battle Armor, and wore the Abyssthe Flame Demon cloak. His huge iron wings were fully spread open.
Every surviving person who was busy felt nervous and uneasy, and they all looked toward him.
At this moment, Aiden had become their main support. It seemed that as long as he was there, the Abyss demons and monsters in the space rift didn’t seem so terrifying anymore.
“Aiden, if it gets too dangerous, Kelsey hopes you can take care of yourself…” Kelsey lowered her head and spoke softly.
Aiden smiled. With the Epic Shadow Stealth, even if something unexpected happened, he was sure he could make it to the end.
“Why, don’t you believe in me?” Aiden asked slowly.
Kelsey looked up and shook her head firmly. “Fifty years ago, a mid-sized city in the empire fell into the Abyss. Fifty-five thousand people, none survived.”
“No survivors. Many people have almost forgotten that history.”
“I am the princess of the empire. The White City’s situation is also because of me. So I want to stay with them, even if in the end… we all die.”
Kelsey looked at the survivors around her, full of guilt but also determination.
Aiden was a bit surprised. He hadn’t expected a child to say such things.
“No, the Evil Demons Guild would still act, and the Abyss would still attack. This painful responsibility isn’t something a kid like you should carry.”
Aiden looked up at the space rift above, getting closer and closer. He raised the Iron Dragon’s Magic Staff and said with a smile.
“This time won’t be the same. From now on, there will be a story in the Abyss. Aiden, the general appointed by Princess Kelsey, will lead The White City to resist the Abyss’s attack. From that day on, the human race will sound the call to fight back against the Abyss.”
Kelsey’s eyes lit up. If someone else had said this, she might have thought it was a joke. But she raised her arm along with Aiden and said seriously.
“That’s right! They will remember our names!”
Aiden patted Kelsey on the head. Without thinking about her royal title, she was just a ten-year-old kid.
If he had a little sister, she would probably be like Kelsey—kind and strong.
“Come on, go find Vespera and the others.” Aiden said, seeing Vespera and her group running over.
John was holding a skill book, scratching his head and saying: “I found this skill book when I was getting supplies. It’s Starlight Rank. I don’t know if you can use it.”
A Starlight Rank skill book?
Aiden’s eyes immediately lit up and he took it from John.
[Victor’s Hand: Starlight Rank, a non-combat skill. Not only does the victor have the right to write history, but they also get the loot. By using a little bit of magic power, you can immediately put any dropped items into your storage space after killing a target.]
When Aiden saw it was a non-combat skill, he was a little disappointed. But when he read all the details, he became excited.
There would definitely be a big battle soon, and he didn’t have time to collect all the loot. With this skill, that problem was solved.
Aiden didn’t refuse. He said thanks to John and immediately learned the skill.
“What do you want in return? I have…”
Aiden hadn’t finished speaking when John shook his head right away. “No, this skill book is useless to me. Helping you is the best thing I can do.”
He was speaking from the heart. After all, in this situation, only Aiden could help them survive.
Aiden said with a half-smile.”Okay, but you really don’t want to know what I’ll use to repay you?”
“I don’t need anything.” John answered without hesitation.
He was the main branch of the largest trade company in the Sovereign City, the Hawthorne Family. Except for some really rare things, he could get anything he wanted.
Aiden gave up for now. After the situation in The White City was settled, if John found out that Aiden had an Epic Demon’s Heart on him, he might regret saying that.
The time was about right. Black cracks began to appear on the ground of The White City, barely visible at first.
The demons and monsters from the Abyss were about to arrive.
“Here they come. Get ready for battle.” Aiden’s huge iron wings slowly flapped, and he flew up above the survivors of The White City.
The survivors, who were once scared and confused, looked up quickly and regained their calm.
Aiden slightly lowered his head and found the mayor, Randy, the leader of the Warrior God Guild, Leo, and the leader of The White City Reclasser Association, Lucien.
“Did you remember what to do next?”
They all nodded firmly. Their eyes showed some admiration as they answered.”General, all the tactics are already memorized. There will be no mistakes at all!”
Aiden felt a little relieved. The number of demons and monsters coming from the space rift was much more than the survivors of The White City.
And some of the survivors had even hidden themselves.
To win this battle, they had to use some tactics to achieve victory with fewer people.
“Buzz!”
“Buzz! Buzz!”
At that moment, one after another, black space rifts suddenly opened. Countless ugly demons and monsters, holding weapons, appeared in The White City.
The crowd became confused again. Some people’s hands trembled as they held their weapons, their legs weak, almost ready to fall to the ground.
Aiden took a deep breath. These people were definitely not trained soldiers, so it was normal for them to feel scared at this moment.
But as the temporary general of The White City, he couldn’t let this fear spread and grow in the group. That would be too foolish.
He had to raise the spirits of all the survivors right from the start of the battle!
Without hesitation, Aiden flapped his Iron Dragon wings behind him, and flew straight to the front, facing the terrifying demons and monsters from the Abyss.
His back was now in the sight of all the survivors.
When a general or a commander stood at the front of a battle, it could greatly boost the morale of the whole group.
Those Reclassers who had been shaking and scared slowly stopped trembling, and stared at Aiden’s back with determination.
But just at that moment, a huge space rift suddenly appeared far away from Aiden.
“Crack! Crack! Crack!”
The rusty joints moved with a loud, painful sound that made people’s teeth ache. Everyone instantly turned their eyes to the source of the noise.
A giant spider demon, about thirty meters tall, slowly crawled out of the space rift. Its eight red eyes, each as bright as a huge searchlight, shot out strong red light filled with cruelty, violence, and madness.
“Hahahaha! Humans, so many humans! Yum!”
Thick green saliva dripped from the demon’s mouth, hitting the floor and immediately creating a black smoke.
In just a blink of an eye, the floor was burned through, leaving a hole three or four meters wide.
It opened its huge mouth, big enough to swallow a small car, revealing long, hairy fangs. It growled with a terrifying voice:
“Shudder! Fear! Scream!”
“Weak humans, to be food for Lord Roth is your honor!”
Hearing this, the survivors of The White City were shocked. Someone couldn’t help but whisper: “A demon noble!”
“His level is invisible to my detection skill!”
“I have a high level detection skill. I can see it. This guy is a 50 level Abyss demon boss!”
“Look! There seem to be other bosses behind the space rift behind this demon boss!”
“Oh no, there are more? Can we even fight them?”
It wasn’t just the survivors who felt this way. Even Mayor Randy, the leader of the Warrior God Guild, Leo, and the leader of The White City Reclasser Association, Lucien, felt the pressure.
They instinctively looked up at Aiden, who was floating in the air. But to their surprise, 18-year-old Aiden had no expression on his face. He showed no fear at all.
Aiden took a deep breath. A 50 level Abyss demon boss, and a demon noble at that—this was definitely a big problem.
This guy was probably even stronger than the Flame Demon Oslu.
“Facing a powerful enemy is crucial. If we can’t hurt or kill this boss, the morale of the survivors behind me will drop a lot.”
“Come on, let’s hope my luck is good this time.”
It was time to use the experience points he got from killing the Shadow Assassin’s clone.
Aiden took a deep breath and quietly used his special skill, Apprentice’s Heart!
[You used the special skill Apprentice’s Heart. Consumed 50 million experience points. Gained 300 Strength, 200 Constitution, 200 Spirit, 100 Agility.]
50 million experience points for 800 points of stats?
Again!
[You used the special skill Apprentice’s Heart. Consumed 50 million experience points. Gained 200 Strength, 300 Constitution, 500 Spirit, 150 Agility.]
[You used the special skill Apprentice’s Heart. Consumed 100 million experience points. Gained 200 Strength, 800 Constitution, 1,500 Spirit, 300 Agility.]
200 million experience points, 700 Strength, 1,300 Constitution, 2,200 Spirit, 550 Agility!
Aiden smiled slightly. He swung his right hand, which was holding the Iron Dragon’s Magic Staff, to the side. His red cloak behind him flapped loudly.
He took out a long sword with his left hand, which he had already prepared, and slowly raised it in front of him before letting go.
The sword fell straight down, and half of it sank into the ground.
With a slight movement of his huge iron wings behind him, Aiden flew over the sword.
“This sword is the boundary. If I, Aiden, take one step back, anyone can use this sword to cut off my head!”
“Everyone, please watch me fight the enemy!”
