Chapter 1717 Shocking Numerous Countries

As Dyro died, the dark-gray Evil Energy consuming the sky above the Primordial Divine Ruin faded. The land once again bathed in the suns glaring rays.

Many of Zero Wings army abruptly leveled up as the Tier 4 NPC awarded more abundant EXP than any ordinary Mythic monster.

Unlike Mythic monsters, the NPC dropped only two items when he had died. After these two items appeared, the Evil Energy surrounding the old mans body quickly dissipated, and shortly after, his body transformed into ash that scattered with the wind.

He died?

A Tier 4 NPC was killed, just like that?

Everyone at the Primordial Divine Ruin watched Dyros disintegrating corpse in utter disbelief.

After playing Gods Domain for so long, everyone was terrifyingly familiar with the strength of Tier 4 NPCs. They were powerhouses that could guard and rule over major NPC cities. They were definitely invincible to current players.

Yet, players had just slain one such NPC

This situation had overturned everything they thought they had known about Gods Domain.

How is this possible?! Thats a Tier 4 Dark Wizard were talking about! Beast Emperors countenance twisted as he stared at Dyros corpse through the gigantic crystal ball in the Evil Gods Branch Temple.

He had spent nearly all of his Evil Gods Temple Contribution Points to get Dyro to participate in the battle. Aside from getting rid of Zero Wing, he also wanted to give the various superpowers a warning. He wanted everyone to know that the Orc Empire was his territory, yet both his main and side objectives had failed.

Back on the battlefield, the players from the various major powers and adventurer teams werent the only ones shocked by Dyros death. Even Zero Wings members stared at the NPCs corpse with dumbfounded expressions.

Did we succeed? Aqua Rose muttered, finding what had just happened a little hard to believe.

Relax. Hes dead. Although Tier 4 NPCs are powerful, theyre not invincible. Everyone, continue killing the Evil Demons and Evil Beasts. The battle is not over yet, Shi Feng said, chuckling. Shadow Sword, come take back control over the Dragon.

While Tier 4 NPCs were very powerful, they were not insurmountable. As players reached higher levels and gained more strength, some would even take out the Level 200, Tier 4 NPCs that protected major NPC cities, let alone a lowly Level 80, Tier 4 NPC.

Understood! Shadow Sword snapped out of his daze and nodded.

Once Shadow Sword took control back, Shi Feng activated Gale Domain, transforming into a blur as he dashed towards Dyros ashes.

NPCs like Dyro rarely dropped loot, which was why players werent usually interested in killing Gods Domains NPCs. Not only were NPCs built to counter players, but they also didnt drop much loot even after they died. Normally, players wouldnt bother with such a thankless task unless they had no other choice.

As for the Tier 4 NPCs that protected cities, they almost never dropped loot. And due to the citys magic arrays, these NPCs would command even more combat power. To make matters worse, if players killed a citys protector, the citys kingdom or empire would post a bounty on their head.

If players had a working brain, they wouldnt provoke an NPC citys Tier 4 NPCs without a very good reason.

However, in the rare event such NPCs dropped loot, the items would definitely be top-tier.

Although Shi Feng didnt need to worry about anyone stealing Dyros loot due to the Evil Beasts and Demons on the battlefield, he thought it would be best to be safe, rather than sorry. On the off chance that some suicidal players decided to give it a go, reclaiming the loot would be troublesome.

The two Evil Earth Dragons were still trapped in the Knights of Lights Prism of Light, and Anna and the Divine Magic Dragon had them thoroughly pinned down. This allowed Shi Feng to reach Dyros partly disintegrated corpse easily. After retrieving the two items the NPC had dropped, he immediately turned and fled back to the defensive magic array.

When the major powers players saw this, their eyes became bloodshot with envy.

That was a Tier 4 NPCs loot!

Even if they didnt know what the items were exactly, due to how powerful Dyro had been, those items were guaranteed to be extraordinary.

However, although they were jealous, none of them dared to take action. Whether the Divine Magic Dragons or Annas Level 80 Knights of Light and Envoys of Darkness came after them, all of these beings were ridiculously powerful. Even if they charged onto the battlefield to steal the loot, they would simply add to these monsters kill-counts.

Meanwhile, as the various superpowers upper echelons watched the two Divine Magic Dragons battle, jealousy gripped their hearts.

If Zero Wing could summon more Divine Magic Dragons, then nobody in the Orc Empire could beat the Guild, not even Beast Emperor.

However, they also realized that even if Zero Wing could summon more of these Dragons, it should only be able to do so a limited number of times. It was even possible that Zero Wing only had these two summoning arrays. Otherwise, the Guild could have summoned a third Divine Magic Dragon to take out Dyro, rather than giving Anna a rare potion to increase her strength.

A potion that could elevate a Personal Guard by one tier was far more valuable than a Divine Magic Dragon. Each of these Dragons required 88 Summoners, which had to be protected at all times. On the other hand, the potion Anna had consumed could be carried and used without such challenging restrictions.

Of course, that was just an assumption. Theyd have to investigate the situation slowly through their spies in Zero Wing to learn the exact truth of the matter.

But it was safe to say that from today on, no one would dare to provoke Zero Wing at the Primordial Divine Ruin.

When Shi Feng returned to the defensive magic array, he continued to command Zero Wings army as they slaughtered the Evil Beasts and Demons. After they killed two Mythic Evil Beasts and 30,000-plus lower-ranked Evil Beasts and Evil Demons, Beast Emperor finally gave up and recalled his minions from the Primordial Divine Ruin.

Even Beast Emperor is helpless against Zero Wing? Falling Fire, who watched the battle from a safe distance with a Magic Mirror, frowned as he watched this outcome.

He had planned to send Blackwaters army back to the ruin after Beast Emperor had severely wounded Zero Wings forces, but it seemed that his plan was no longer viable.

Sure enough, Zero Wing still won.

Amazing! This is simply amazing! Zero Wing actually forced back an army of 100,000-plus Evil Demons and Evil Beasts with a little over 1,000 players! With this, Beast Emperor has lost his position as the Orc Empires overlord.

The spectating crowd at the Primordial Divine Ruin could not help but shudder with excitement as they watched the Evil Demons and Evil Beasts frantically flee.

Zero Wing had come to the Primordial Divine Ruin with fewer than 2,000 players, yet not only had it defeated Blackwaters 10,000-strong army, but it had also pushed back a force of 100,000-plus monsters. In the midst of the battle, Zero Wing had even killed a Tier 4 NPC and two Tier 4 Evil Beasts.

The watching players finally understood just how powerful Zero Wing was. The various superpowers, in particular, felt a sliver of fear as they watched the Guild. At the very least, they didnt want to make an enemy of Zero Wing within the Orc Empires boundaries.

After all, nobody could say for certain that Zero Wing couldnt summon more Divine Magic Dragons.

As the battle ended, news of Zero Wings shocking victory at the Primordial Divine Ruin quickly spread to the kingdoms and empires neighboring the Orc Empire. Meanwhile, this news didnt only reach the ears of the various large Guilds as even ordinary players learned of the battle. The news had reached so many players because many of the players at the Primordial Divine Ruin were from adventurer teams, as well.

Many of these adventurer teams members began to upload the videos they had recorded of the battle to their respective countries forums.

Crap! Is this really a battle between players? Why does it feel more like a battle between NPCs?

Quick, look! Isnt that a Tier 4 NPC?

What?! Zero Wing even managed to kill a Tier 4 NPC?!

Due to this masterpiece of a battle, Zero Wings fame in the various kingdoms and empires rose significantly. Many players even began to consider joining Zero Wing.

For a time, countless players swarmed towards White River City and Zero Wing City.

Black Flame! Dont think that youve won the war just because youve won this battle! A cold glint flashed in Beast Emperors eyes as he read the forum posts. Since youve severed one of my limbs, Ill make sure that Zero Wing never sets foot in the Orc Empire again!

He admitted that his Evil Demon and Evil Beast army had been defeated, and the loss had been significant. However, he knew very well that the Divine Magic Dragons were summoned creatures. They could only exist for a limited amount of time. Once that duration ended, he could simply send his minions back to the Primordial Divine Ruin and slaughter Zero Wings army. Even if Zero Wing could summon the Divine Magic Dragons again, he could just order another retreat and attack at a later time. He had more than enough Evil Demons and Evil Beasts to bleed Zero Wing dry.

Star-Moon Kingdom, White River City:

After seeing that the battle was over, Shi Feng used a Return Scroll to return to White River City.

However, Shi Feng did not head directly to the War Gods Temple. Instead, he visited White River Citys Adventurers Association.

In a VIP room on the Adventurers Associations second floor

When one of the Associations senior administrators entered the room, he greeted Shi Feng, who rested on a sofa, and asked, Lord Protector, how may I be of service today?

I wish to build a town in a neutral map outside of the kingdom, and I need the Adventurers Associations help, Shi Feng said, nodding. He then revealed the Town Building Order he had acquired from the Lost Town.
