Chapter 138: I Am New Moon, Who Dares to Kill Me! Berg Saves the Scene (2)

Twilight City, City Square.

Under the sunlight, the crowd solidified like wax figures.

They stood stiffly in the square, their eyes dull and devoid of any spirit; with the huge number of people, this scene appeared hair-raising.

Then, the next moment...

"Hahahaha, I am a noble prince now, everyone must respect me!"

"I finally baked the best bread."

"Mother, have you come to pick me up again?"

"Lord Starfire, are you going to take me as your maid?"

The crowd had different expressions; some laughed wildly, some cried in pain, some were joyful. For a time, the square was as chaotic as a dance of demons.

"Lady Luo Sha, it seems that guy Ekusi still had a trick up his sleeve!" Xia Mingyu said with a solemn expression.

Fortunately, they had gathered these addicts in the square in advance, otherwise, it was feared that the entire Twilight City would have fallen into large-scale chaos.

"Your Highness, these people's target is me. If we really reach a predicament, please prioritize your own safety." Luo Sha said in a low voice.

She had already realized that Ekusi's purpose in coming to the Southern Region was definitely not for profit; he was targeting the entire Twilight City, and this also included her own life.

"For an old woman like me who has lost her beloved, death has never been a nightmare, but rather a kind of peace. And you still shoulder the mission of saving the entire Sosia; you must never die here." Luo Sha said calmly.

Xia Mingyu did not answer, only summoning white doves incessantly.

For him, who had not yet awakened his core magic, magic tricks were the best ability he could use to influence the battle situation.

"People immersed in illusions, if you still want this kind of pleasure, go and destroy crazily. Now rush out of the square and kill everyone you see!"

Deep green magic erupted from Ekusi, and his voice of bewitchment instantly spread throughout the entire square.

Then, the crowd dancing like demons in the square, upon hearing the voice, rushed toward the outside of the square regardless of everything, as if they were crazy, even ignoring the guards standing guard at the edge with shields, crashing directly into them.

"Hahaha, Luo Sha, and that so-called Sage, watch with your own eyes as the people you protect betray you and kill each other!"

Watching the chaotic scene where countless people collided with the guards and flesh-and-blood bodies became bloody messes against iron shields, Ekusi laughed loudly.

He could feel that the power of pain was surging in continuously; soon, soon he would be able to advance to a New Moon Rank Chamber of Commerce Lord!

"Transcendent Knights, leave four people to change shields and guard, the rest all go to support the guards on duty; you must not let these controlled people leave the square." Luo Sha ordered immediately.

With her eyesight and standing on the high platform, she could already see the guards gradually retreating under the impact of the crowd.

Although these guards on duty were mostly well-trained and held shields, there were simply too many people controlled by Ekusi!

And they were residents of Twilight City themselves, not enemies, so they could not be directly attacked, which made the guards become restrained.

Once the defensive line was broken and these controlled people rushed into Twilight City to attack innocent people crazily, the consequences would be simply unimaginable...

Tap, tap, tap.

Hearing Luo Sha's order, those Transcendent Knights who had been affected by Latisi's Boiling Blood magic retreated one after another to keep their distance, turning to rush toward the edge of the square.

Only four Transcendent Knights took the shields handed over by the surrounding guards, raised their shields, and vigilantly bypassed the two people in the middle, Luo En and Lafier, blocking in front of Luo Sha.

"Phew."

Seeing the large number of guards and Transcendent Knights who were originally going to surge over retreat, Lafier breathed a long sigh of relief.

After all, this was the home field of the Masha family, and the military advantage was simply too great. If it weren't for the riot of the bewitched people, he feared that the two of them would have already been surrounded by countless guards.

Immediately afterward, Lafier and Luo En also temporarily gave up the attack and retreated a short distance toward Ekusi's direction.

"Lord Ekusi, how much longer do you need to advance to New Moon? With our existing combat power, it is impossible to kill Luo Sha."

Lafier blocked Luo En's tall body in front of himself, then asked Ekusi behind him in a low voice.

Opposite them were two Morning Star magicians plus four Transcendent Knight guards; it was no longer a successful assassination they could achieve alone.

"If the situation remains unchanged, it will take about ten minutes."

Feeling the inflow and strengthening of the power of pain in his body, Ekusi answered.

"Please hurry up and advance; we will buy time for you." Lafier said solemnly.

The merchant profession, after advancing from a wealthy merchant to a Chamber of Commerce Lord, is no longer as weak as before; it will gain a core ability of the profession—Currency Armament.

As long as you throw out circulating coins, you can randomly release an attack or gain a temporary buff.

It is said that this ability has no upper or lower limit; the generous and lucky can even fight across ranks, while the stingy and unlucky will be defeated across ranks by others.

As long as Ekusi can display the strength of a normal New Moon Rank, then Luo Sha will absolutely not be able to withstand their joint attack!

"Lady Luo Sha, they seem to be waiting for something."

Watching this scene, Xia Mingyu immediately sensed something abnormal.

"Yes, they can still wait, but I'm afraid we can't." Luo Sha said with a bitter smile.

Although with the addition of the Transcendent Knights, the crazy crowd was successfully blocked in the square.

But those bewitched people were like moving corpses, ignoring pain, and even could not be knocked unconscious, just rushing toward the outside of the square blindly.

In this situation, it was only a matter of time before the blocking line was broken, unless she ordered the guards to kill them.

Hearing this, Xia Mingyu also couldn't help but frown tightly.

The current situation was very bad; the enemy was clearly waiting for some opportunity, but they didn't have much time left.

They must kill Ekusi, who was bewitching the crowd, or find a way to wake up the bewitched people as soon as possible!

As for the former, both he and Luo Sha were magic-type professions, lacking effective and precise single-target damage. Wanting to break through the guards of three Morning Star combat powers and kill Ekusi, who had unfair protection abilities, in a short time was almost as difficult as ascending to heaven.

As for the latter... he really had no clue!

"Sigh, if only Berg were here, his Death of All Things would definitely influence the entire battle situation." Xia Mingyu couldn't help but sigh lightly in his heart.

Wait, why not ask and see; perhaps Berg has already finished advancing.

"Berg, I am fighting here in the city square; have you finished digesting the magic potion?"

Xia Mingyu's mind moved, urging the heart-to-heart ability.

"... Already finished, Master, I will arrive within ten minutes."

A moment later, just when Xia Mingyu thought he wouldn't receive a response, Berg's voice, which sounded a bit hoarse, came into his heart.

After hearing this sentence, Xia Mingyu felt settled in his heart and immediately felt much more confident.

After all, he had always been full of trust in Berg.

Hunters were already famous for their strong single-target combat power, and Berg's combat power was a leader even among hunters; heaven knows how strong he would be after advancing to Hunter Master!

"Lady Luo Sha, my attendant will arrive within ten minutes. He is a Morning Star Rank Hunter Master and should be able to help us kill Ekusi." Xia Mingyu said in a low voice.

"Very good, since that's the case, let's wait a while, saving magic and waiting for your attendant to arrive before attacking." Luo Sha was happy in her heart, but said in a low voice without changing her expression.

A Hunter Master, even among the Morning Star Rank, is recognized as one of the professions with the strongest combat power.

If a Hunter Master joined, plus the assistance of two magicians, Ekusi wouldn't last long before his head was chopped off.

Afterward, the battle situation on the high platform fell into a bizarre calm; it seemed that both sides were waiting for something.

Red Fox Castle, secret room.

Berg, leaning against the stone wall, suddenly opened his eyes, and brown magic surged from his body.

Bang!

He kicked open the door of the secret room, rushed into his room, picked up the Wind Whisper Bow and long sword, and after putting on the arrow quiver, jumped out of the window.

Berg leaped up, turning into a brown stream of light, flying over the roofs, and rushed toward the city square at a speed as fast as a gale.

Although pain still came from his skin all over his body, there was no time to tolerate him staying; he had to rush to the Master's side at the fastest speed.

Because based on his understanding of the Master, if it weren't for encountering a crisis or a desperate situation, the Master would never disturb him while he was digesting the magic potion.

"God is above, you must be safe, Master!"

Holding this worry and prayer, the boy accelerated his pace again.

In his ears was the whistling wind, and the surrounding scenery kept retreating; for a moment, Berg even felt that he had caught up with time.

City Square, under the high platform.

Damien and Youde huddled in the corner, shivering as they watched the chaotic scene before them.

For them, who had almost no combat power, anyone here, even an ordinary person, could potentially kill them.

"No, we must go and help the Sage."

After hesitating for a moment, Damien stood out and said.

No matter what, he absolutely could not watch his benefactor fall into a crisis; even if it was tiny, at least he had to go and offer a portion of his strength.

"We can't intervene in the battle; perhaps we can see if we can wake up these people bewitched by Ekusi." Youde thought for a while and said.

"But before that, we still need to find an experimental subject..."

"Look over there!"

Before Youde finished speaking, Damien pointed not far away and shouted.

He saw his father, Harris, muttering to himself like other bewitched people, walking in a daze...

A moment later, Harris pushed away Youde, who wanted to feed him the potion, and looked at the duo in a daze.

"Didn't you cure me long ago? How could I be bewitched by that bastard merchant." Harris said with a bitter smile.

"Then why are you pretending to be bewitched?" Damien asked, puzzled.

"Please, everyone else is bewitched, if I'm not, that's too dangerous." Harris shrugged and said.

On the road of how to survive, he still had a little confidence.

In the Battle of the Dragon and Lion, so many lords who were more valiant than him eventually became withered bones. Although he lost his castle and honor, at least he survived.

Damien was silent; this father of his could bring a little shock to his worldview every time.

"If you ask me, don't waste your efforts. Even if you formulate a potion that can wake these people up, the quantity is completely insufficient. There are at least over one hundred thousand people here!"

"Better to find a safe place to hide with me; anyway, if the sky falls, there's that Sage of yours and that old woman Luo Sha to hold it up."

Harris continued.

Seeing that the two ignored him, he found himself boring and continued to pretend to be bewitched and walked away.

"If the potion path doesn't work, how can we wake up these bewitched people..." Damien clutched his face in pain.

He felt that he was really too incompetent, unable to help his benefactor who was in a crisis.

Sigh, if I had known this, I shouldn't have chosen the path of a bard; even choosing to be a merchant would have allowed me to be a meat shield for the Sage to block two attacks!

"Damien, can you wake up the bewitched with your singing?"

Youde looked at the people in the square who were immersed in illusions, muttering to themselves and trying to rush out of the square, and had a sudden inspiration.

In his view, only singing could influence so many people at the same time.

Moreover, he heard that the singing of some outstanding bards could influence the emotions of others; relying on this ability, perhaps they could really break the illusions of these bewitched people from the spiritual level!

"Impossible, perhaps a bard of the third rank, a chanter, could do it, but I am only second rank now..." Damien subconsciously wanted to deny it, but soon he froze.

Because he suddenly discovered that after completing the great cause of saving Twilight City with Lord Xia Mingyu and being thanked (loved) by countless people, he seemed to be only one step away from the Morning Star Rank.

As long as he could create another poem full of emotion that even he himself was moved by, and then play it for many, many people, he could achieve advancement.

Right now, isn't this the best stage?

"... Youde, do you have paper and pen?"

"Yes, these are essential tools for a pharmacist."

"Then, give me some time, I will definitely be able to wake these people up!"

This silver-haired poet, who was more beautiful than most women, promised with a tone full of determination at this moment.

High platform.

After the two sides were in a stalemate for about ten minutes, accompanied by a burst of wanton and grating laughter, in the astonished eyes of everyone, surging deep green magic soared into the sky from Ekusi's body.

That magic was so surging that it set off an air wave blowing in all directions with him as the center.

At the same time, above Ekusi's head, the line of deep purple text also disappeared, replaced by a new line of text—the deep blue Chamber of Commerce Lord.

"I am New Moon Rank, who can kill me, who dares to kill me!"

Looking at the solemn expressions of Luo Sha and Xia Mingyu on the opposite side, Ekusi laughed loudly, feeling that all the previous humiliation had been avenged!

Swish!

At this time, a cold light in the distance suddenly tore through the air, and an arrow forged from refined iron broke through the air toward Ekusi's head like a silver lightning bolt.

The feathers at the tail of the arrow vibrated in the rapid speed, and the airflow was brutally split wherever it passed, forming a fleeting vacuum.

Just as the arrowhead was about to pierce Ekusi's temple, a long sword slashed through the air.

Clang!

The arrow was accurately cut into two halves, and the front half grazed the merchant's face and nailed itself fiercely into the stone floor.

"This arrow, such strong impact force..."

After saving Ekusi at the last second, Lafier felt his numb arm and was secretly shocked.

And the merchant who escaped death touched the blood on his face, instantly turned pale with fright, and sweat poured down his forehead, completely losing his previous rampant appearance.
