Chapter 347 - Fierce Library Battle

William and Lancelot parted ways.

Lancelot’s mission was to go to the palace and stop the Viscount of Darkness from prematurely killing the King of Kerenza.

William and his companions ‘walked into a noble’s residence. With their ‘virtuous behavior’, they had a sumptuous dinner and had found a comfortable place to stay.

When William was about to return to the room to rest, the Baron’s wife, who was serving food just now, gyrated her slender waist as she walked towards William step by step. With an alluring gaze, she asked, “Do you need someone to serve you at night?”

William awkwardly glanced at the Baron, who was standing beside him. The Baron clenched his small fists and opened his mouth, but he did not speak out.

William was not a scoundrel.

He firmly declined, saying, “I’m very sorry, ma’am. I’m just staying here for a night and don’t need anyone to serve me.”

“Oh… okay.” The Baron’s wife sighed in disappointment and ignored the Baron.

When William and his companions turned and left, the wife shouted at the Baron to clean up the leftovers on the table.

Since the city was shrouded by dark mists, the servants who went out to buy food had lost their way.

The noble couple had not ventured outside after being warned by the patrol guards. They were considered fortunate to survive.

“Tsk, tsk!” Changli Jiuge grinned as the meal was very enjoyable. The players also witnessed William’s powerful charm.

Even if they had been bandits, all the female NPCs would take the initiative to throw themselves at Lord William. He was such an awesome lady charmer.

William surveyed the ten players and said, “Rest for half a night. We’ll set off tomorrow at dawn.”

“Got it, Prince William.” The players nodded. Changli Jiuge flashed and tried to log off at lightning speed.

But he was caught by Chu Liuqiu. “It will only be a short while. Why are you getting offline?”

“Bro, I need to dump garbage, it’s urgent.” Changli Jiuge looked awful as though he was in bad shape.

“What kind of garbage are you… going to dump?” Chu Liuqiu was a little puzzled. It was the first time Jiuge wanted to get offline so badly.

“It’s garbage. It’s important. Do you understand?” Changli Jiuge pushed Chu Liuqiu’s hand away and quickly entered a house to get offline.

Chu Liuqiu and the other players were befuddled while Xiao Ayin narrowed her eyes. “He’s making a big deal when he’s only going to the bathroom.”

Angry Fatty stroked his chin and did not expose Changli Jiuge, who might have peed his trousers. The other players had to find out for themselves…

William was leading the players into a fierce battle. They were not only fighting the believers but also the Blood Moon Dark Witch, who was going to be resurrected soon.

They ignored the commoners on the road who were not aware of the situation and the soldiers who would not be assisting.

They charged towards the 500-years-old library of the Kerenza Grand Duchy.

According to Lancelot’s biography, the curator and the employees were all Blood Moon believers.

They had been inheriting their beliefs for hundreds of years, and they were responsible for resurrecting the Blood Moon Dark Witch.

During the daytime, Dark creatures rarely appeared in the city. The Blood Moon believers could not obtain strong reinforcements.

William and his companions arrived at the library.

Everyone felt a fatal sense of crisis in their hearts.

William raised his eyebrows. He could feel the crisis, but it was not fatal for him. However, it might not be the case for the others.

When he shouted for a retreat, a giant tentacle broke open the library’s door and went straight for them.

At the same time, many glass windows and walls exploded.

Hundreds of professionals with eyes resembling the Blood Moon charged at William and his companions.

Even the nearby commoners were also Blood Moon believers. They gathered around with weapons in their hands.

“Gosh! Are we being surrounded?” The players were in shock, but they unsheathed their swords. It was time for them to show their worth.

Everyone avoided the tentacle that was tens of meters long, but William braced himself and punched at it.

Boom!

Powerful electric current and shock waves ruptured the street that was tens of meters long

The tentacle that was protruding from the library flashed with lightning and exploded numerous times.

But it was not over.

William communicated with his companions to avoid the tentacle using Chained Awareness.

A loud explosion happened.

The three-story library exploded into pieces. Huge stones, pillars, and glass fragments scattered all over the place.

A huge abyss monster had appeared in front of everyone.

Eighteen tentacles came out of this monster, as if it were a giant squid. The monster had four hands, two heads, and a huge devil-like body. One of the heads had a huge horn burning with black flames and spitted dark flames. The other head screamed in a shrill voice.

The piercing screams were heard tens of thousands of meters away.

Not only did the players cover their ears, but many commoners who were tens of thousands of meters away also bled from their ears. They convulsed and collapsed to the ground.

“Shut up.” The stone slab under William’s feet exploded, and his body rose above the ground. While avoiding the tentacle’s attack, he leaped above the heads of the ten-meter tall monster.

Two powerful lightning bolts shot out and flew towards the two heads.

Pom!

The strange screaming stopped.

But then, an emerging tentacle became longer and smacked William, who flew into a house like a cannonball. But he had adjusted his posture in mid-air. Hence, his feet were rooted on the ground after his back collided with a few walls. Then, at lightning speed, he appeared before the abyss monster.

Thunder Slash!

A ray of Thunder Sword energy that was a hundred meters long was emitted.

With the lethal damage of the Sword of Hegni, William severed two tentacles blocking him.

A black flame covering hundreds of meters engulfed William.

“Kill him.” William rushed out of the flames, while tens of Holy Light Sacred Shields on the verge of shattering protected him.

“Got it. Watch me.” Burned Cinder grinned. His body emitted a thousand-degree high-temperature battle energy shield. And like a booming artillery shell, he appeared in front of the abyss monster.

He unsheathed his sword and slashed.

The Dragon-slayer blade that was as hot as molten lava collided with the ground.

Bang!

Within half a second, numerous flames leaped from the ground surface and formed a gigantic sword.

The flaming sword inflicted a grievous wound on the abyss monster, and everyone caught a whiff of the burnt smell.

The strength of the abyss monster went beyond everyone’s imagination. Before Burned Cinder could dodge, a huge tentacle slapped towards his head.

But, Diablo clenched his left fist.

Countless metal fragments gathered, forming a huge defensive shield to protect Burned Cinder.

Diablo pulled out a metal spear and curled his back like a cat before flinging out the spear with a sonic boom. The metal spear was accompanied by countless metal spears that materialized from the air.

The spears shimmered with golden light as they impaled into the abyss monster.

Diablo unclenched his fist.

Swish, swish, swish!

Pfff, pfff, pfff.

The spears that impaled on the abyss monster exploded, creating huge pits on the monster’s body.

Xiyan had no chance to engage the abyss monsters.

She was leading a group of players to fight the Blood Moon believers, who had become powerful all of a sudden.

The believers had good combat powers because they were using their Health Points to boost their fighting skills.

It was a prohibited dark magic spell.

They were not strong opponents as compared to the powerful Angel, Xiyan.

Garbed in shiny silver armor, Xiyan wielded a longsword that burned with white light. Each slash inflicted lethal damage.

An archmage Blood Moon believer made an unscrupulous move against Xiyan.

The stone slabs under Xiyan’s feet transformed into giant stone hands that grasped her long legs and immobilized her.

Countless professionals charged towards her to take advantage of her immobility.

But…

A dazzling white light emitted from her body and penetrated the enemies charging at her.

While the Blood Moon believers stopped in their tracks, a pair of jade-white wings that emanated Holy Light spread out. The angel wings endowed Xiyan with boundless power. She lifted her leg and dispelled the immobility magic.

She slashed!

Swish!

All professionals within a hundred meters were severed by the white sword energy. The surrounding buildings also collapsed in ruins.

The archmage was about to retreat, but Xiyan had already appeared before him.

Boom!

A stone wall rose from the ground.

Bang!

Xiyan broke the stone wall with a punch.

Another stone wall rose from the ground.

Another punch, and all the stone walls that rose broke down.

A ray of long and narrow sword energy cut a stone ball into half, and fresh blood spewed from the stone ball.

The little angel did not look at the stone ball that the archmage had transformed into. She continued to fight with the other Blood Moon believers…

The players who were squatting at a corner glanced at each other and gulped as they watched the fight.

They realized that it was not time for them to sacrifice themselves.

If they joined the fight, they would be a hindrance to the Angel Xiyan…

The players had, once again, witnessed the true power of a legendary BOSS of the City of Dawn.

All the abyss monster’s tentacles had been severed.

William had executed the Light of Dawn, causing both the monster’s heads to explode. He had garnered 320,000 experience points.

But…

The battle was not over.

When the abyss monster fell, everyone found that there was a huge black hole hidden under its body. It seemed to be the entrance to the Dark World.

“Let’s kill this dark witch.” William narrowed his eyes. The location in front of him was where Lancelot had fought his way through before. William had previously released a small black snake to guide him.

He immediately used a magic transmission scroll to inform Lancelot to reinforce him…

Since the Viscount of Darkness’s assassination was hindered many times by Lancelot, he must be very determined to kill the king.

William believed that even if the king was killed, within a short period, it would be impossible for a new king to ascend the throne and pacify the commoners.

Without a reigning king, the King’s Curse would not take effect.

This was the best time to kill the Blood Moon Dark Witch!

The Viscount of Darkness could change his decision and decide not to kill the king at the critical moment.

But it did not matter.

Alec had used Moses’ invisibility scroll. He had been observing the situation in the palace for several days.

William never fought a battle he was not sure of winning…
