Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 882 - 416: Brutal Slaughter, Legendary Device Master Coleman

[At that moment, a staff member pressed the alarm device, and a piercing red light began to swirl and flicker, the shrill alarm sound filling the hall!]

[The scholars looked stern, their eyes carrying a murderous intent as they closed in on you in an encircling manner...]

[You heard a scholar not far from you scoff, "Does this foolish swordsman not know that ’Coleman Workshop’ has a deep collaborative relationship with the Direct View School?"]

[Daring to run wild here, he truly must think his life is too long.]

[Another scholar responded, "Perhaps he’s just a country bumpkin who came from a distant village and does not understand the rules here, but to do something so foolish, he is truly worthy of being called a rude warrior with nothing but muscles in his head..."]

[The tightly closed doors at the end of the hall suddenly opened, and a group of scholars in black robes stepped out quickly. Aside from a giant eye painted on the front of their robes, they also bore the symbol of Refined Copper gears.]

[They were the guard scholars of the Direct View Association stationed at the workshop...]

[You looked around the hall, noticing that most of the scholars were wearing the Direct View Association’s uniform magic robes, whereas only two or three scholars from the Multivision Association were there, staying away from the encirclement, appearing unconcerned in a corner of the hall.]

[The guard scholars entered the encirclement, and the leading one came up to you, raised his magic wand to your nose, and said coldly, "Damned swordsman, I swear, you will pay a painful price for your foolish actions... Kneel down and confess your guilt now!"]

[You observed the uniform style of his magic robe, which was exactly the same as that of the ’Direct View School Branch Association Scholar’ you had seen before.]

[And in the entire hall, there seemed to be no scholar higher in rank than this guard scholar.]

[Are you going to kneel and confess, surrendering without a fight, or will you rise up and fight back fiercely?]

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes.

He was still considering winning over the Direct View Association as an ally, and tearing off the pretense was not the wise move at this time.

[You ignore the ’guard scholar’s’ wand that was almost poking your nose and shout loudly, "Ignorant ants, are you not the envoy of the great ’Almighty True Knowledge’? To dare defile the majesty of the envoy is to defile the Supreme True God!"]

[The leading scholar heard your words, and was momentarily stunned, as were the many scholars encircling you, who then burst out laughing in unison...]

[Has the swordsman got nothing left in his head but muscles?]

[Do they take us for fools? Let alone that ’True God’s messenger’ only exists in legends and myths, even if my Lord truly sent a messenger, it would never be a crude swordsman.]

[...]

[For a moment, many scholars pointed at you, laughing and cursing in ridicule.]

[The leading ’guard scholar’ couldn’t help but laugh as well, but then straightened their face, and declared solemnly, "You deliberately committed murder, disturbed the nobility, disrupted the workshop’s order... having committed numerous crimes, not only did you refuse to kneel and confess, you also falsely claimed to be the ’True God’s messenger,’ defiling the great True God.]

[Only the evil heretics chasing after the Stars would defile the True God... a mere death penalty can no longer cleanse the major sins on you.]

[Now, I declare, I will send you, this evil heretic, to ’Blackwater Prison,’ to let you suffer endless punishment, repent your crimes in regret and agony, and then die together with those who chase the Stars!"]

Lin Xun was speechless. Revealing his identity as the True God’s envoy not only failed to convince anyone, but also got him labeled as a heretic chasing the Stars.

However, on closer thought, what these scholars said was not wrong.

Out of nowhere, a swordsman who was not a scholar but practiced martial techniques claimed to be the envoy of ’Almighty True Knowledge’... It would be these scholars who were brain-addled if they easily believed him.

If Lin Xun could prove his identity right now, he could easily resolve the situation at hand.

He remembered meeting that ’Branch Association Scholar’ in the mist.

When he was about to take down the scholar, the ’Beast of Chaos Knowledge’ descended into the world, making the scholar recognize his True God’s envoy identity.

And the leading ’guard scholar’ in front of him was also a high-ranking scholar of the Direct View Association...

Lin Xun decisively chose the latter option in the multiple-choice question, choosing to rise and fight back.

[You let out a furious yell, and a terrifyingly immense force burst forth from within your body, as you swung the ’Sword of the Bloody King’ and fiercely struck towards the ’guard scholar’...]

[His expression unchanged as if he had anticipated your violent retaliation, he raised his hand and a ’Knowledge Light Wall’ went up!]

[The ’Sword of the Bloody King’ tore through the air, unleashing a deafening burst of sound, and the expression of the ’guard scholar’ changed abruptly, sensing your terrifying power, he hurriedly infused more magic power into the ’Knowledge Light Wall.’]

[Clearly, the solid light wall in front of him could not withstand your full-strength strike; under the attack of the Crimson Greatsword, it shattered instantaneously...]

[The great sword cleaved through the ’guard scholar’s’ body, his expression instantly frozen on his face, a ghastly wound appearing from his left shoulder to his right waist, followed by the upper half of his body sliding off the frame...]

[As blood spurted out forcefully, his body thumped to the ground...]

[Many scholars stood in shock, not expecting this country swordsman to be able to shatter the ’Knowledge Light Wall’ and slay a scholar of such high rank on the spot.]

[The entire hall went silent at once!]

Lin Xun was also stunned: "Why hasn’t the Beast of Chaos Knowledge appeared? It shouldn’t be like this."]

He had anticipated that upon attacking the scholar, the ’Beast of Chaos Knowledge’ would descend, which did not happen.

Without the watchdog’s identity verification, he naturally also couldn’t prove himself as the ’True God’s envoy’.]
