Chapter 755 Maniac Versus Maniac

Currently, more than twenty Level 210-plus NPC Guards equipped with standardized Legendary Equipment Sets stood along the sides of the main street. Although these NPC Guards were only at Tier 5, any one of them could easily suppress Tier 6 experts under Level 200.

Meanwhile, following the words of the Level 220, Tier 6 Guard Captain equipped in a luxurious suit of armor, all of the players present froze on the spot. Demons Gates members were especially dumbfounded by this situation.

Why arent these NPC Guards taking action?

Count Shadowring?

Who is that guy?

Questions popped up in everyones minds, one after another. The scene before them had completely overturned their knowledge of Luminous Sky City.

It was commonly known that any player who dared to cause a scene in Luminous Sky City would meet a swift death. This was an ironclad rule that n.o.body had managed to defy thus far.

Yet, now, not only had this rule been broken, but the Level 220, Tier 6 Guard Captain was even behaving very respectfully to s.h.i.+ Feng

Count? Am I dreaming?

Astonishment filled Seven Melody as she looked at s.h.i.+ Feng.

Luminous Sky City was a Neutral City in the Eternal Realm. Because of this, obtaining an aristocratic position in it was incredibly difficult. In fact, even becoming an ordinary n.o.ble was something the various powers could only dream of accomplis.h.i.+ng right now.

Besides Seven Melody, Aqua Rose was similarly taken aback by this unexpected development. They had been operating in Luminous Sky City and striving to establish a foothold in the southern region, a land rich in Ancient Legacies, for a considerable period already. Consequently, they had invested significant effort into contributing to Luminous Sky City. However, despite their efforts, they still lacked a lot of Contribution Points to attain the status of ordinary n.o.bles. Yet, she was now being told that s.h.i.+ Feng had attained the rank of Count

Unlike everyone else, though, s.h.i.+ Feng himself was not surprised by the NPC Guards behavior.

As a 2-star Count of Holy Ring City, he would enjoy basic n.o.ble privileges in all Neutral Cities across the Eternal Realm. Although these were merely the privileges afforded to an ordinary n.o.ble, they still put him above the average player.

Although Demons Gates a.s.sa.s.sin did not attack him, the other party used a Tracking Skill. If such an action was taken against the average player in a Neutral City, it wouldnt be considered an offense. However, when done to players with n.o.ble status, it would be judged as aggressive behavior, and nearby NPC Guards would immediately arrest the person using the Tracking Skill.

As a side note, if a player possessed true Count privileges in a Neutral City, they wouldnt even need to have their enemies use Tracking Skills on them to make them a target of the city. If their enemies lacked sufficient status in the city, they could simply have their enemies banished from the city. And even if these banished players could enter the city again, they would need to pay an exorbitant deposit before they could do so.

Had Demons Gates members initiated an attack on him, their fates would have been even worse. Even if none of their attacks managed to hit him, he could have the NPC Guards apprehend and imprison all of Demons Gates members.

Of course, if both parties had an aristocratic position, NPCs would judge the situation differently and apprehend only the first party to have caused actual damage.

However, as a Neutral City in the Eternal Realm, Luminous Sky City should have only been activated recently. It was unlikely that anyone would have an ordinary n.o.ble status, let alone an aristocratic position. This was also why s.h.i.+ Feng was confident in helping Aqua Rose resist Demons Gate.

These people used a Tracking Skill on me. With my status in Luminous Sky City, whats the heaviest punishment I can impose on them? s.h.i.+ Feng asked the NPC Guard Captain as he pointed at White Ghosts group.

According to the citys rules, since they intend to harm you, the princ.i.p.al offender will be detained for one month, while the offenders companions can be detained for up to ten days, the Guard Captain said as he looked at White Ghosts group.

Good. Lock them up for ten days, then, s.h.i.+ Feng said, nodding.

Understood!

At s.h.i.+ Fengs instructions, the Guard Captain promptly gestured at his subordinates to apprehend White Ghosts group.

Meanwhile, when the bystanders on the street saw the NPC Guards moving to apprehend Demons Gates members, their mouths widened in shock.

It was clearly s.h.i.+ Feng who had initiated an attack on Demons Gate and killed multiple of its members. Yet, Demons Gates members were the ones who were now being arrested. Moreover, they would be imprisoned for ten days. This was undoubtedly the biggest loss Demons Gate had ever suffered in Luminous Sky City.

Dammit! How does he have the rank of Count?!

White Ghosts expression darkened at this unexpected development.

White Ghost was more or less aware of the privileges granted to players holding aristocratic positions in the Eternal Realms Neutral Cities. However, he never thought s.h.i.+ Feng would already attain the rank of Count so soon after Luminous Sky Citys activation. As for getting imprisoned for ten days, hed rather die multiple times than suffer such a fate.

The Eternal Realm had only appeared not long ago, and the power structure within it remained fluctuating. It was especially chaotic in the southern region, a place where many powers operated. If he wished to maintain an advantage in the southern region, he would need to treat every day with utmost importance. If he became absent for ten days, he wouldnt even be surprised if the southern region took on a completely new look.

What should we do, Your Highness? a Demons Gate member asked anxiously when he saw the approaching NPC Guards.

Ten days!

If they were to fall behind by ten days, becoming second-rate players would be the least of their concerns. Most importantly, theyd lag behind other players in acc.u.mulating Contribution Points in Luminous Sky City, and other powers would have long s.n.a.t.c.hed all of the important real estate in the city.

Retreat! Do everything you can to retreat! White Ghost shouted. So long as we leave the city, these NPCs will stop chasing us! We can take our time dealing with these b.a.s.t.a.r.ds afterward!

Their only option right now was to escape out of Luminous Sky City. For them, a ten-day jail sentence was no different than a death sentence. It should be known that the internal compet.i.tion within Demons Gate was vastly more intense compared to other powers. If they allowed their compet.i.tors to surpa.s.s them, it would be incredibly difficult for them to recover later.

At White Ghosts command, the remaining Demons Gate members hastily activated their lifesaving tools to escape. Not even for a moment did any of them think of fighting the NPC Guards. At their current levels, these Level 210-plus, Tier 5 NPC Guards could send them flying or injure them heavily with even a casual attack.

Not to mention, if they tried to fight these NPC Guards, not only would they die, but they would still have to spend ten days in jail.

Theyre finally leaving. Seven Melody sighed in relief when she saw Demons Gates members retreating.

So long as their group of three could successfully avoid a confrontation with Demons Gate today, it would become much easier for them to shake Demons Gate off their tail in the future. This was because they would finally have enough money to rent a transport s.h.i.+p after todays sales and start taking on Delivery Quests to acc.u.mulate Contribution Points rapidly. Then, once they became n.o.bles of Luminous Sky City, they would no longer have to fear Demons Gate in the city.

While Demons Gates members were treating, White Ghost suddenly took out a scroll from his bag and activated it. Immediately afterward, the sky above the main street darkened, and a powerful aura of death enveloped the entire street. Subsequently, dark threads descended upon s.h.i.+ Feng and Aqua Roses group at an astonis.h.i.+ng speed. Even s.h.i.+ Feng got hit by these threads, failing to react in time.

However, the dark threads did not cause any damage. Instead, they penetrated deep into the souls of s.h.i.+ Feng and the others before quickly forming a mark.

A Demon Mark?

s.h.i.+ Feng immediately recognized the mark that had formed in the depths of his soul.

There was a special scroll exclusively available to Demons Gate that, when used, could place a Demon Mark on players souls. Each Demon Mark lasted for six days, and it allowed all Demons Gate members to know the marked players location throughout this period. If Demons Gate members were within a certain distance of a marked player, the Demon Mark would even actively inform them of the marked players presence. Meanwhile, so long as a Demons Gate member managed to kill a marked player while the Demon Mark was still in effect, they could earn an astronomical amount of Guild Contribution Points.

Essentially, the Demon Mark was a bounty order used internally by Demons Gate, and it was something that only a very small number of individuals in Demons Gate could use. Moreover, it was a privilege that they could only use once in their lifetime.

So what if you are a Count? Since you dare to make an enemy out of Demons Gate in the southern region, only death awaits you! White Ghost said, sneering when he saw s.h.i.+ Feng and the others getting hit by the Demon Mark. Although I dont know who you are, I want to see how long youll survive being hunted by Demons Gate!

Originally, White Ghost had intended to kill s.h.i.+ Feng to establish his authority over the other players and powers operating in Luminous Sky City. However, he never expected to be played by s.h.i.+ Feng, causing Demons Gates reputation to be damaged. Now, he was resolved to kill s.h.i.+ Feng at all costs. As for Aqua Roses group, he naturally wouldnt spare them, either.

With the Demon Mark now in effect, if s.h.i.+ Feng, Aqua Rose, Seven Melody, and Frost Raven were to take even a step out of Luminous Sky City during the next six days, they would immediately face an endless pursuit by Demons Gates members.

Its over! He actually used the Demon Mark! None of them can escape now!

I knew it would turn out like this! Its simply suicide to go against Demons Gate in the southern region!

The bystanders couldnt help but lament when they looked at s.h.i.+ Fengs group. They could already tell how seriously White Ghost took this matter. He absolutely wouldnt let them off easily.

Meanwhile, Aqua Rose, Seven Melody, and Frost Raven also revealed grim looks at this turn of events. They never thought White Ghost would be so ruthless as to use his once-in-a-lifetime privilege on them.

Is that so? Ill be waiting, then!

When s.h.i.+ Feng saw White Ghost trying to escape using a Tier 5 Random Teleportation Scroll, he executed Flowing s.p.a.ce to arrive before the other party instantly and brandished the Winter of Eternal Night.

Holy Annihilation!

Holy Annihilation!

Holy Annihilation!

Pillars of flame rose into the sky one after another. s.h.i.+ Fengs attacks were so swift that White Ghost had no time to defend himself with a combat technique. He could only instinctively swing his scythe to parry each fiery strike. As a result, his HP plummeted with each attack blocked. In a mere second, four exchanges took place, and White Ghost was reduced to ashes on the fourth exchange. From the beginning to the end, White Ghost never got to use his Random Teleportation Scroll
