Chapter 737: Chapter 378: Lights Across the Miles! Did Trash Fish Traveler Miss Us? (4K)_1

In the depths of the Mansion of the City Lord.

An old man who had lost both legs, with sunken eyes, seated in a wheelchair, heard the man’s shout and sighed deeply.

Had someone broken in?

He had long felt that such a day would come.

Since losing his wife, he had been clinging to life, immersed in the sorrow of the past, his observation of the surroundings reduced to the minimum.

For over two hundred years, despite being so close, he never noticed the changes in that child.

Now that he thought about it, when did that child he’d watched grow up from a young age begin to change so drastically?

Was it from the day he returned from the Southern Sea Region two hundred years ago?

After that day, the youth who was full of vigor turned into a person who was outwardly gentle but inwardly bleak.

Yet it was only more than two years ago that he realized the numerous heinous sins the boy had committed.

By then, it was already completely too late.

The old man sighed long, "I, am guilty."

At the beginning, there might have been a chance to steer him back onto the right path.

But as time passed, this chance grew smaller and smaller.

However, even so, he was that boy’s teacher.

He couldn’t let him... die at the hands of others.

"All things, forge."

As these four words escaped the old man’s lips, countless clumps of soil rose from the ground near the wheelchair, converging onto his body.

A brand new pair of mechanical legs formed amidst the convergence of soil.

At the same time, his sunken eye sockets were propped up by earthen yellow metallic eyeballs.

As a Grandmaster who had reached the pinnacle of the smithing path among humans, the loss of his body parts was not a problem for him, even though he himself was only a Tier Four sublimated person.

The old man rose from his wheelchair and walked towards the sky step by step.

A pale golden spear appeared in his hand, its surface dazzling enough to blind.

All people within the city felt something and looked towards that frail, aged figure.

A player who had just entered the city through a breach silently thought, "This should be heavy-hitting enough, right?"

A teammate beside him exclaimed in horror, "Kobayashi-kun, this place seems very dangerous! Should we retreat first? Going further might end in disaster!"

Kobayashi Wild smiled bitterly, "You go ahead, I can’t retreat."

This time, the higher-ups had issued a strict order, demanding he capture something sufficiently sensational.

Otherwise, even if he returned, the consequences would be dire.

Even though he had upgraded his talent and was able to remotely project what he saw and heard in reality, his game character had always been trapped in Belgri Town. To the higher-ups in Sakura Island, he was someone with a high-level talent who wasn’t doing anything productive.

He heard that the higher-ups had somehow obtained a talent death targeting extraction voucher.

If he didn’t do something significant, upon returning, he might well be selected, right?

Although that was only a possibility.

After all, his talent was generally practical and added nothing to his combat ability.

But who doesn’t want to ensure their survival?

As soon as Kobayashi Wild’s projection was activated, Sakura Island immediately synchronized the live broadcast with the administrators of the high-level clubs related to "Dawn" on the island, who, after deliberation, shared the projection on major forums worldwide.

There was no point in keeping such footage private.

Moreover, releasing it could increase Sakura Island’s say in this operation, so why not?

For people around the world, this was their first look inside the Sea Region.

Before long, anyone who knew about "Dawn" was watching the live broadcast.

The live footage was indeed sensational.

Upon entry, there was a figure engaged in a stunning aerial battle, their body enveloped in a sky-blue dress, surrounded by countless specks of light, breathtakingly beautiful.

In front of the woman, there was an elderly man with white at his temples, seemingly in a power struggle with that beautiful woman, contesting each other’s skill abilities.

The silver glow from the Divine Tree rolled towards the woman but was blocked by a bright sea of runes halfway, the fiery red light even appearing to ignite the silver radiance.

[sensei: Which city is this?]

[Decade: This is Far Wind City of Tiangong Country; I’ve been to the Dream World. That man must be the City Owner. My god, who is the woman who can fight on par with the City Owner manipulating the Divine Tree inside the city?]

[mika: Blind guess, an NPC big shot from another city?]

[Masked Rider 1: The close-up screenshot of this big sister looks super beautiful!]

[Little Fox: Indeed, the black-haired big sister is the best!]

The discussion quickly reached its peak.

Nearly ten million people were glued to this live broadcast.

At the head office of the Xia Country Tourism Bureau, Zhao Mucang was different from ordinary people.

He searched the live broadcast for the involvement of Xia Country players.

The conclusion he reached was either they were not captured in the footage or they were irrelevant.

This made him breathe a sigh of relief.

Such a high-level battle was clearly very dangerous.

If Transcendents from Xia Country got involved, they could be killed in an instant by the residual effects, and players couldn’t resurrect in the real world. Even the death of a single Third-tier Transcendent would be a painful loss.

If there could be no sacrifices, then it was best to have none.

From the looks of it, the situation currently seemed to be an even match, with neither side able to overcome the other.

But it was also uncertain who would win.

However, when the figure of another elderly person suddenly joined the battlefield, the situation changed again.

Brilliant light filled mountains and rivers!

The live projection instantly turned a pure white.
