Chapter 637 Chapter610-A Disproportionate Battle for Defense
Outside South Harbor, the Mystery Protector leisurely observed the magic Defend Wall that he had destroyed.
Not far from him, Darklord, wearing a sullen expression, coldly watched the Mystery Protector's actions.
"Why are you standing so far from me? If we are to completely demolish South Harbor, we must cooperate fully. You shouldn't be too worse for wear, right?"
The Mystery Protector, wearing a slight smile, turned and asked Darklord.
The Mystery Protector was well aware that Darklord had been severely injured in their recent actions.
Even with the powerful force of the Saint of Mystery, a swift recovery was improbable.
His question was deliberate, aimed at reminding Darklord of his hostility towards all adventurers.
"I noticed the spells you used earlier were quite powerful. Couldn't another such powerful spell simply destroy South Harbor?" "Even as a Legend Magus, I can only use a divine spell once! Using divine spells repeatedly would greatly impact my condition! Do you really think you alone could eliminate all those left in South Harbor?" The Mystery Protector scoffed at Darklord's question.
He felt that Darklord had completely misunderstood the situation.
If it weren't for his sworn enmity with John, he would be reluctant to collaborate with someone as foolish as Darklord.
"If that's the case, why are you wasting time? Stop loitering around the ruins of the Defend Wall! Let's move on and attack the second Defend Wall directly! The second Defend Wall is likely not as sturdy as the outermost magic Defend Wall!"
After uttering these harsh words, Darklord strode past the Mystery Protector, heading straight towards the second Defend Wall of South Harbor.
This time, the Mystery Protector did not mock Darklord; instead, he simply followed him to the final Defend Wall of South Harbor.
Although John had hoped to construct more Defend Walls for South Harbor, there simply wasn't enough time, and there was a significant shortage of magical materials.
In the end, South Harbor was only fortified with two Defend Walls.
After the Mystery Protector obliterated the outermost magical Defend Wall with a powerful divine spell, the second Defend Wall became South Harbor's last line of defense.
Losing the second Defend Wall would leave South Harbor utterly defenseless.
Within South Harbor, Twilight and Hammer were engaged in a fierce argument.
As the two strongest individuals in South Harbor, their ideas for the upcoming defense plan were entirely divergent. New n0vel chapters are published on
"We cannot merely defend! Merely defending will never lead to a successful defense, especially since the magic Defend Wall was destroyed by a single divine spell from the enemy! We must take the initiative to strike!"
Hammer, being a formidable warrior, naturally favored taking the offensive.
Twilight believed they could hold South Harbor because she planned to use the underground Mystery power for a surprise counterattack at the last moment.
Although Hammer was skeptical about the plan, he still proceeded to arrange the defense according to Twilight's strategy.
Thanks to Hammer's valiant fighting and command, the people of South Harbor successfully slowed down the assault pace of the Mystery Protector and Darklord, leading to another argument between the two invaders.
"Can you fight with a bit more seriousness? Your spells aren't posing any threat to the enemies inside South Harbor! Are you intentionally sabotaging the grand Saint's plan?!"
Darklord was utterly intolerant of the Mystery Protector's approach.
After the destruction of the magical Defend Wall, the Mystery Protector hadn't showcased any more powerful spells.
He merely stood by, watching Darklord fight alone.
The look the Mystery Protector gave Darklord was tinged with severity.
"You'd better understand the situation! This operation isn't my plan but yours! I've already provided significant help; what more do you expect me to do? Do you really want me to take over all your responsibilities? If the plan succeeds, should the Saint of Mystery reward you or me?"
The Mystery Protector's question left Darklord without a response.
After all, should the plan succeed, the Saint of Mystery would undoubtedly reward Darklord, not the Mystery Protector.
The Saint of Mystery is not a deity known for easily forgiving his enemies, and from his perspective, the Mystery Protector was once an adversary.
"Even if you can't receive any rewards, don't you want to eliminate John? This city is, after all, John's territory!"
Having failed with previous persuasions, Darklord bluntly invoked the name of the person the Mystery Protector cared about most: John.
At the mention of John's name, the Mystery Protector's mouth twitched momentarily, but he quickly regained his composure, aware that Darklord was deliberately provoking him.
"Of course, I'm eager to eliminate John and destroy everything he owns! But, you can take on this task here at South Harbor! From what I see, your efforts have been quite successful! Keep it up and strive to demolish South Harbor as soon as possible!"
With those words, the Mystery Protector teleported himself to the seaside.
Preferring to enjoy the seaside scenery, the Mystery Protector was unwilling to provide any further assistance to Darklord.
Left with no choice, Darklord had to continue the assault on South Harbor alone.
The dispute between the Mystery Protector and Darklord somewhat alleviated the defensive pressure on South Harbor.
However, even against Darklord alone, South Harbor ultimately failed to hold its defense.
When Darklord finally breached the last defense of South Harbor, the long-awaited reinforcements arrived - Legend Magus Shatras finally made it to the scene!
