Chapter 92 – Road to Survival (Part ①)

Volume 2: Battlefield Between Two Worlds

Under the direction of Jiang Wentao and his companions, and thanks to the powerful efficiency of the Class Holders, a simple Camp was quickly established.

The Blood Moon in the sky emitted an ominous crimson glow. Under its light, the entirety of Shimmer Blue Star took on a bizarre and distorted feeling.

For Wen Yu and the others, the Blood Moon provided excellent visibility for the Class Holders, saving them the trouble of lighting fires for illumination.

"Big Bear, go on lookout!"

Following Jiang Wentao's command, Big Bear headed straight into the distance.

It was only fitting to let Jiang Wentao and his team handle these sorts of responsibilities.

"Want some?"

Sitting beside Fina, Wen Yu pulled an Energy Bar out of his Spatial Ring and offered it to her.

"No, thank you."

Fina shook her head. She took out some Jerky and other supplies of her own, chewing them with an elegant grace.

Wen Yu shrugged and stuffed the food into his mouth. Though the taste was poor, the energy content within the Energy Bar was quite high, enough to replenish the stamina Wen Yu would consume during half a day of activity.

Commanding One-Eye to lie down at the windward side, Wen Yu leaned directly against the dog's body.

The warm sensation allowed Wen Yu to briefly forget the troubles brought by the mission.

As Wen Yu's thoughts drifted further away and his consciousness grew hazy, he gradually fell into a light doze.

Meanwhile, at the Silver Moon Holy City.

With the departure of Wen Yu and the others, the massive fortress had instantly fallen into a deathly silence.

Even the once-endless, surging waves of Demonic Creatures had vanished!

Ultimately, this place was merely an Illusionary Realm, nothing more than a Trial.

Now that the challengers had moved on, what point was there for the illusions left behind to remain?

As the moonlight grew thicker, a sudden change occurred atop the wall that stood nearly ten thousand meters high.

First, streaks of light appeared out of thin air above the wall. Then, as if space itself were being torn asunder, a blurry figure emerged from the mid-air rift.

Stains of blood could not mask the person's peerless, heroic bearing. Standing nearly two meters tall, he wore a set of silver armor that was battered and broken.

His short silver hair shimmered with a faint light, though it was unfortunately matted with thick, viscous blood.

"Finally… it's over."

Like a murmur in a dream, those few simple words revealed a sense of loss, despair, and even a hint of liberation.

As the words fell, the man's body collapsed like a pile of building blocks, slowly turning into fly ash and scattering into the air.

Within the torn space, endless black light incessantly eroded the edges of the rift.

Until, a massive, scale-covered hand reached out from the void.

Sharp claws seemed ready to crush the very space they held. As the great hand clenched tightly, it threw a single punch!

In that moment, the concept of space seemed to lose all meaning.

The violent energy fluctuations tore through space, shredded the ten-thousand-meter-high wall, and obliterated more than half of the Silver Moon Holy City!

The power of a single punch was like a natural disaster descending upon the world.

A violent sandstorm enveloped the entire Silver Moon Holy City.

Amidst the swirling yellow sand and energy fluctuations, a small, thin figure stood quietly at the edge of the sky. Grains of sand hit the person like bullets, yet they passed directly through his body, leaving behind only ripples.

Even the owner of that world-destroying hand failed to notice this Silver-Haired Youth!

"Imperial Father…"

As if everything happening before him had nothing to do with him, the Silver-Haired Youth simply floated in mid-air, staring blankly at the spot where the figure had just vanished.

After a long moment, the Silver-Haired Youth shook his head, his body slowly dissipating into the air.

"I'm sorry, Imperial Father. Only these records remain within the Inheritance Crystal! I can't even… remember what you looked like…"

As the sandstorm in the Silver Moon Holy City gradually subsided, dozens of hideous, terrifying figures appeared out of thin air outside the original city walls.

A Canine Demonic Creature sniffed the ground intently, trying to pick up a scent. Soon, the dozens of Demonic Creatures scattered, sprinting in the direction Wen Yu and the others had gone.

Judging by their speed, every single one of them was at least Level 3!

Wen Yu, who had been dozing, was startled awake by One-Eye's low growl.

"What's going on?"

Wen Yu squinted, looking at the Class Holder standing in front of One-Eye.

"Boss Wen Yu, you're finally awake!"

Wen Yu had a slight impression of this Class Holder. While his strength wasn't particularly outstanding, his survival skills were top-notch. During the battle on the walls earlier, this man had been the first to rush behind William, and he had emerged from the fight without many injuries.

"Boss Wen Yu, I just had a terrible premonition. Danger is approaching us from the direction of the Silver Moon Holy City!"

"You have that kind of Skill?"

Wen Yu narrowed his eyes and pulled a watch out of his Spatial Ring.

Only three hours had passed since they set up camp!

The Class Holder was drenched in sweat, glancing back toward the Silver Moon Holy City from time to time as he spoke urgently.

"Boss Wen Yu, the sense of danger is getting stronger and stronger. We need to leave, fast!"

"What is your Skill?"

Wen Yu frowned. It wasn't that he didn't believe the man, but a short rest wasn't enough to offset the exhaustion from the day's battle.

If everyone started running while half-asleep and disoriented, it would be less safe than staying put and getting adequate rest.

"Danger Premonition (Rank B, Passive Skill): It allows me to roughly sense where danger is coming from and its threat level. It only works outside of combat! The danger level coming from the Silver Moon Holy City is… at the maximum!"

"Wake the others, we-"

Before Wen Yu could finish his sentence, a violent roar thundered from the direction of the Silver Moon Holy City!

Even from their distance, they could clearly see the ten-thousand-meter-high walls of the Silver Moon Holy City collapsing. A massive plume of dust surged into the sky, rivaling the mushroom cloud of a nuclear explosion!

They could feel a distinct tremor even at their campsite!

This time, Wen Yu didn't need to say another word. Everyone scrambled to their feet, staring blankly at the distant, crumbling Silver Moon Holy City.

"Move! Move!"

At Wen Yu's shout, all the Class Holders immediately packed their things and began running toward the east.

Wen Yu took the lead, bringing Princess Fina with him.

"The Silver Moon Holy City… is it just gone?"

Wen Yu still found it hard to believe.

The sight of walls over ten thousand meters high collapsing before their eyes was simply breathtaking.

"Yes,"

Princess Fina responded, her voice dim.

"Actually, the fate of Silver Moon City was sealed yesterday. Once the strongest of the Silver Moon Clan, Sequence 1, fell in battle, the Silver Moon Clan no longer had any room to struggle."

"Now that the Silver Moon Holy City has fallen, there will be a continuous stream of pursuers coming to intercept us. I hope you all can fulfill your mission and preserve the last spark of hope for the Shimmer Blue Star. Thank you."
