Chapter 3351: The Start of the Chaotic Battle

Blue skies and white clouds, a salty sea breeze blowing, the beach was pristine white, and a few seagulls flew past; everything seemed relaxed and pleasant.

This was "Luoyashi" in the North Sea. Few people knew the name of this coastal city, but if one mentioned the "Tribunal," no one would be unaware of it. The Tribunal was located within this beautiful seaside city.

"Luoyashi" was neither a fortress city nor a ring city. The reason it dared to be built this way was that a total of three T1-tier fortresses and five T2-tier fortresses were stationed in the surrounding seas and land. It was precisely these fortresses, loaded with heavy-artillery-grade weapons, that gave "Luoyashi" the courage to stand grandly in this chaotic continent.

It would not be attacked by hunter groups. The high-level members of several of the most famous hunter groups all had assets here, either keeping their wealth stored or having their families settled here.

This was both to ensure the safety of their families and a form of compromise with the three major factions of the Kindred and the Tribunal.

Near the Tribunal in the center of the city, at 6:00 AM, the sound of the bell tower failed to wake the sleeping people.

This seaside city had always been known for being lazy, wealthy, and extravagant. Here, waking up before 8:00 AM was considered behavior for the elderly; conversely, the nightlife here was very rich.

Fundamentally speaking, Luoyashi City, Free City, and Doomsday Fortress were not of the same style. This place was like a graceful and luxurious noblewoman; Free City was a middle-aged man who appeared refined on the surface but was actually covered in blood; as for Doomsday Fortress, no matter how one looked at it, it was full of outlaws.

Inside a seven-star hotel diagonally opposite the Tribunal, sunlight shone in through the gaps in the curtains. A graceful figure sat up on the bed, and a smooth silk blanket slid off her. It could be seen that she was a bit dazed from sleep; this was Hunting Tide.

A moment later, Hunting Tide finished washing up and completed her skincare routine with expensive products. Although she had no interest in makeup, she was particularly interested in skincare.

Whether it was accommodation, skincare products, or three meals a day, everything was the best and most expensive. The reason was that she could go back and get reimbursed by Su Xiao. If Baha knew, it would definitely mutter: "What a spendthrift woman."

Checking the time, Hunting Tide decided to head to the "Border Area" at noon. It was fine to spend a bit more, but if she went back late, she would definitely be in for a rough time.

Hunting Tide stood in front of the window, slightly lifting the curtain to look down at the street. There was almost no one on the street.

*Puchi! *

A short blade suddenly stabbed in from Hunting Tide's back. It was very sudden. The short blade pierced out from the center of Hunting Tide's chest, shattering a button on her close-fitting clothing, causing the collar of her floral light-white shirt to open wide, offering a rare glimpse of benefits. But amidst the benefits was a blood-stained blade.

The pupils in Hunting Tide's eyes trembled, and her body leaned forward slightly due to the sudden, intense pain. A figure appeared behind her. This was a girl with markings on her face; the metal markings on both sides of her cheeks were symmetrical, like whiskers spreading to behind her ears.

This girl strangled Hunting Tide's neck with one arm, while her other hand holding the blade twisted left and right, using the sharp edge to shred Hunting Tide's heart. Feeling the sensation of shredding the enemy's heart, the smile on the metal girl's face became increasingly joyful.

*Boom! *

The bowstring vibrated, and a slender, aesthetically pleasing arrow pierced in from the back of the metal girl's head, pinning her and the "Hunting Tide" in front to the wall.

The metal girl raised her trembling hand, palm facing backward, but in the next instant, an arrow pierced through her palm, pinning her hand to the wall.

This arrow not only pierced the metal girl's hand but also pierced the mechanical eye in her palm. Relying on the remaining vision of the mechanical eye, she saw Hunting Tide standing in front of the vanity mirror, as well as the Source Bow held in her hand.

The "Hunting Tide" who had just been stabbed in the heart by the metal girl and pinned to the wall together turned into light blue water, wrapping around the metal girl's body.

"Who sent you?"

"Huh?"

*Boom! *

An arrow pierced through the metal girl's lower back and then pinned to the wall. With her head and palm pinned, the metal girl facing the wall was full of confusion, not understanding why Hunting Tide asked that sentence, "Who sent you?"

But soon, the metal girl had no heart to think about these things. The arrow piercing her waist actually dissolved in a short time, turning into liquid metal, like metal worms, drilling into the blood vessels of her body.

Not to mention the metal girl, even Hunting Tide's cheek twitched. She really didn't know this thing was so terrifying. This was given to her by Su Xiao before she left. She remembered what Su Xiao said at that time: "If you encounter a tough nut, give him an arrow. If you still can't get anything out of him, give the enemy a quick end."

A few seconds later, the metal girl pinned to the wall was crying and screaming, but Hunting Tide remained unmoved.

"You're sick, is there a hole in your brain? If you want to kill, just kill..."

The metal girl's eyes were full of tears. Just at this moment, a fluorescent green beam of light suddenly struck. This beam was about the thickness of a fist, flying almost against Hunting Tide's cheek.

Hunting Tide's reaction was extremely fast. Judging the direction from which the attack came, she immediately fired an arrow. Through the hole in the wall, she saw a blood mist explode on the roof of the opposite building; the impact arrow had hit the enemy.

But before Hunting Tide could catch her breath, a feeling of being locked on appeared, which made Hunting Tide's scalp tingle and her heart skip a beat. This feeling was: death.

There was no deafening roar, nor any powerful energy fluctuation. Hunting Tide only felt as if she had been hit by a hammer on the right side of her lower abdomen, slightly higher up. This caused her, who was originally on the fourth floor, to lose height in a short time, sinking into a broken wall.

When Hunting Tide's vision cleared, she found herself embedded in a wall in an alley. Looking at the building in front, there was a series of holes slanting upward. She was now more than a hundred meters away from the seven-star hotel where she was staying.

Piercing pain came from her side abdomen. She looked down and found that a crescent-shaped gap had appeared on the right side of her abdomen. With her slender waist, this gap occupied nearly half of the position.

Up to now, Hunting Tide still hadn't determined who exactly had attacked her. It was highly likely to be someone from the Tribunal, but that didn't quite make sense.

She had sent Li Xiniwei here, and the only person she had come into contact with was that old vampire from the Tribunal. Although that old vampire was greedy, there was no reason for him to make a move while he could still get benefits.

Hunting Tide couldn't figure out the connection, but she knew that if she didn't escape now, she would be dead for sure.

Hunting Tide, embedded in the wall, used all her strength to pull back the arrow and fired an arrow at the ground in front of her. The arrow split apart as soon as it was fired. After entering the ground, it exploded with a bang, and smoke quickly shrouded the surrounding hundred meters.

Hunting Tide pressed one hand against her missing side abdomen. This place was not a place to stay for long. She came here not out of her own subjective will, but because of the cooperation reached by the contract, so she came here to execute orders.

Now that the matter was done and she had been ambushed, of course, she had to flee to the base camp.

"The Tribunal."

Hunting Tide, with a pale face, flashed and disappeared into the smoke. Clearly, she already hated the Tribunal, or rather, apart from the Tribunal, she couldn't think of anyone who would attack her.

Several figures rushed into the smoke, and with an impact spreading, the smoke was dispersed.

These people were dressed differently; some wore robes, some wore combat suits, and some were even in bikinis.

"Continue tracking. Those weaklings from Apocalypse Paradise really have guts, actually daring to send a summon to our territory."

"Must find her. I almost tortured her to a mental breakdown with torture tools."

As the metal girl spoke, she used a pair of tweezers to pierce into her own neck, clamping a wriggling liquid metal worm. Seeing this thing, the others all changed color. Being drilled into blood vessels by this thing, the experience was creepy just thinking about it.

"Contact Sister Shengshi, how to handle this matter."

The metal girl sat on a pile of rubble. Just as she lowered her head, she found that her pants were soaked in a large area, which made her feel ashamed and angry. The experience just now was simply hell; she hadn't even realized she had wet her pants.

"What did Sister Shengshi say? Is it someone from Golden Earl's side?"

The metal girl tied her coat around her waist to cover her embarrassment. The Shengshi she mentioned was the leader of the Holy Light Paradise side this time, while Golden Earl was the leader of the Apocalypse Paradise side this time.

In the situation where there were many participating contractors, Apocalypse Paradise, Holy Light Paradise, Watcher Paradise, and Sanctuary Paradise could all select leader-level figures.

As for Reincarnation Paradise and Death Paradise, the former didn't fight internally and agreed to cooperate with each other, which was already a dream start. It wasn't that they couldn't select leader-level figures, but no one wanted to be one. In every World Conquest Battle of Reincarnation Paradise, leader-level figures had a nickname: "Die Fast."

Death Paradise didn't need leaders. Although they were also unruly, they had an inexplicable cohesion, belonging to the type where one call brought a hundred responses, and after the fight, everyone went back to their own homes.

Before long, the small team the metal girl was in received a combat order, telling them to raid a gathering point of Apocalypse Paradise contractors within "Kewabo Ring City."

Everyone could never have dreamed that the large-scale firefight about to happen was caused by a misunderstanding.

The cause of the matter was that Su Xiao's brand at this time was disguised as a brand of the Apocalypse Paradise side. Although Hunting Tide had come back to life in a "not-quite-resurrection" way, her body, soul, etc., were all sound.

These were all maintained by attaching to the 【Source】 Stone. In other words, Hunting Tide inevitably had the characteristics of a summon, and was a temporary summon. This meant that she was different from Bubu Wang, Baha, etc., and could not perceive the aura of the Paradise brand.

In the perception of other contractors, Hunting Tide looked like a contractor of Reincarnation Paradise. Experienced contractors could immediately distinguish that this was a summon of a Reincarnation Paradise contractor.

Within the seaside city of "Luoyashi," many contractors from the Holy Light Paradise side had gathered. The leader-level figure among them, Shengshi, had already reached cooperation with the Chief Justice of the Tribunal in the city, so this naturally became the territory where Holy Light Paradise contractors were active.

The World Conquest Battle was ongoing, and a summon of an Apocalypse Paradise contractor had come to the territory occupied by Holy Light Paradise contractors. If this didn't lead to a fight, Holy Light Paradise would really have become a "Soft Girl Paradise."

Previously, the contractors of Apocalypse Paradise and Holy Light Paradise had already made an agreement, meaning that everyone was a civilized person, so before finding the World Core, they shouldn't start a war against each other.

After the negotiation, both sides repeatedly emphasized this matter in their respective world communication platforms.

The problem was that at that time, Su Xiao's disguise brand was in the middle of power simulation and could not check the situation of the world communication platform, so naturally, he had no way of knowing about this matter.

The current situation was that the metal girl's team had already rushed to "Kewabo Ring City" aggressively, tit for tat; at least they couldn't lose face.

They had agreed not to make a move against each other, but you Apocalypse Paradise actually sent such a strong long-range summon; wasn't this slapping people in the face?

It was imaginable that when the metal girl's team went to raid the Apocalypse Paradise stronghold in "Kewabo Ring City," the contractors there would definitely be full of confusion; they had actually done nothing.

After the confusion, those Apocalypse Paradise contractors would definitely be full of anger, thinking: "Damn it, didn't we agree to keep the peace? And then you come to sneak attack? You trashy healers, just wait for me."

In this matter, the ones with the biggest headaches should be Shengshi and Golden Earl. The former represented the Holy Light Paradise side, and the latter represented the Apocalypse Paradise side.

Moon Apostle and Morey, the two of them were only famous within their own sides in this World Conquest Battle. Golden Earl had never been optimistic about Moon Apostle, the reason being that Moon Apostle's summoning style was unstable; it was certainly powerful if developed, but if it couldn't develop, it would be beaten particularly hard.

Apocalypse Paradise and Holy Light Paradise had both poured a large amount of combat power into the conquest of this world. Golden Earl was a top-tier strength in the 8th Tier, ranked 7th in the Paradise Arena (8th Tier). Of the six above him, three were from Reincarnation Paradise, two from Death Paradise, and one from the Void. This ranking already explained Golden Earl's personal strength.

As for Shengshi, she hadn't fought in the Paradise Arena (8th Tier). As an Executioner of Holy Light Paradise, which was equivalent to a Hunter of Reincarnation Paradise, she had been locked in a death struggle with Fairy for a long time. If it weren't for participating in the World Conquest Battle this time, she would have continued to track Fairy's trail.

One of the main reasons Fairy agreed to cooperate with Gray Gentleman was to wait until after the Tree-Born World to have Gray Gentleman and Priest join her in eliminating Shengshi. No one understood better than Fairy how resilient and powerful the heart of this woman, who appeared as gentle as a neighbor's big sister, was.

The leader-level figures sent by Apocalypse Paradise and Holy Light Paradise were all tough characters, and Watcher Paradise wasn't bad either. The leader-level figure there this time was the famous Orandi.

Mentioning Orandi, whether it was Shengshi or Golden Earl, their expressions would change slightly, and then a somewhat uncomfortable expression would appear.

Orandi wasn't just a matter of being strong; he also had many halos, such as Philosopher, Magic Man, etc.

Currently, the conflict between the contractors of Apocalypse Paradise and Holy Light Paradise was inevitable.

Presumably, after Watcher Paradise saw this scene, they must be clapping and cheering. The harder Apocalypse Paradise and Holy Light Paradise fought, the greater the benefits for Watcher Paradise.

Not only that, but in this raid, Hunting Tide was also full of anger. She had done nothing, just delivered a person, and then took the opportunity to enjoy life.

Imagine, just waking up in the morning, having a beautiful breakfast, then doing skincare, and with 6 hours left until the agreed return time, Hunting Tide had already planned to spend her leisure time on the beach.

In this mood, she was almost sneak-attacked to death on the spot. One could imagine how much resentment Hunting Tide had in her heart.

In addition, she really couldn't think of anyone, besides the Tribunal, who would dare to do such a thing in "Luoyashi." Looking at the momentum, this raid had been prepared for a long time, and after the enemy made a move, the military police in the city disappeared as if they had vanished. Even if the ordinary military police couldn't come, with the speed of the military police captain, they would definitely have been able to arrive.

Therefore, in Hunting Tide's view, this matter was definitely done by the Tribunal, and it absolutely couldn't be let go like this. She was acting according to someone's request, and she didn't believe that person would let it go. At worst, when reporting back to the base camp, she would add some oil and vinegar; this grudge must be avenged.

If the high-level members of the Tribunal knew the ins and outs of this matter, they would definitely be depressed to the point of a cerebral hemorrhage. They had done nothing, so why should they take the biggest blame and suffer the hardest beating? ===== CHAPTER 3352 =====
