Chapter 521: Fierce Battle Against Max-Level Guardians!

The city they are currently in, "Elienthio," is a floating city in the sky.

Shengzai believes the magical energy required to float an entire city would far exceed what any player or NPC could sustain.

In other words, the sky city "Elienthio" must be a creation of players in YGGDRASIL, just like the Great Necropolis of Nazarick, and was transported to this world alongside its creators.

Given that it is a guild capable of rivaling Bone King and his allies, and possesses such a sky city, the identity of the "Eight Desires Kings" is now clear.

The Eight Desires Kings consist of seven men and one woman, and rumors say their destruction stemmed entirely from internal conflict.

This is not surprising, since in YGGDRASIL they were merely players, but in this world they became real inhabitants of another realm.

Just as Bone King became an undead, some among the Eight Desires Kings must also be non-human races.

Due to changes in race, their minds and bodies transformed, making disputes among them no surprise.

The thirty guardians protecting the city are likely NPCs such as Yarbed and others.

Yet because they faithfully obeyed the Eight Desires Kings’ former orders, they have remained here, diligently guarding the guild without ever leaving.

By observing the NPCs of the Great Necropolis, one can clearly see how loyal YGGDRASIL’s NPCs were to their players.

The fall of the Eight Desires Kings was undoubtedly devastating to these thirty sky city guardians.

Thus, when they learned Shengzai might be a descendant of the Eight Desires Kings, they were deeply stirred inside.

If their lord has an heir, it means they now have someone to serve, no longer rootless drifters.

Yet having once been mere NPCs of YGGDRASIL, they have since gained their own wisdom after arriving in this world.

Though they long for and hope Shengzai is truly the one they have awaited, they naturally cannot believe his words based on mere statements alone.

"I don’t expect you to believe me easily—even if I could prove my connection to the Eight Desires Kings, without corresponding strength, you wouldn’t follow me, would you?"

If that’s the case, words are useless—let’s settle this with force!

"I intend to take all the relics left by the Eight Desires Kings. If you can stop me, go ahead and try."

Seeing Shengzai’s arrogance, all twenty-four guardians—except the six currently testing "Azure Rose" and Kangle Dragon—attacked him at once!

"Martial Art: 'Heart’s Eye,' 'Weakness Perception,' 'Pain Dulling,' 'Battle Qi Binding,' 'Limit Break,' 'Possibility Perception,' 'Hyper Possibility Perception,' 'Ability Enhancement,' 'Hyper Ability Enhancement,' 'Flow Acceleration,' 'Gale Step Break,' 'Unyielding Fortress,' 'Hyper Evasion'!"

If Lahqis and the others were still here, they would be stunned to see Shengzai activate so many martial arts like reciting a menu.

Thanks to his innate ability to learn any technique instantly, the number of martial arts Shengzai controls is undoubtedly terrifying.

With the combined boosts of numerous enhancement, defense, and mobility martial arts, Shengzai’s physical attributes surged geometrically in moments.

In the past, even with all these boosting martial arts, Shengzai could hardly defeat a single max-level guardian here.

But now, enhancement martial arts scale proportionally with one’s base stats.

In other words, the higher the base value, the more pronounced the boost.

Could Shengzai’s base stat before and after sharing power from other worlds possibly be the same?

And after applying martial arts buffs, Shengzai immediately began casting spells.

"High-Level Power Enhancement, High-Level Agility Enhancement, Shield Wall, Abnormality Resistance Enhancement, Radiant Emerald Body, Spirit Guardian, Hyper Regeneration..."

These guardians of the Eight Desires Kings clearly had honor—they planned to overwhelm him, yet did not interfere while he applied his martial arts and magic buffs.

After completing his full suite of martial arts and magic buffs, Shengzai struck first.

In an instant, his figure vanished before the guardians’ eyes.

"CLANG——————!"

The kingdom’s secret treasure, Razor Blade, struck the elf knight’s shield, producing a sound like a great bell colliding.

Though she blocked the blow, the force of Shengzai’s strike was so immense that even the max-level elf knight was instantly flung backward.

"Lower-level guardians below level 90, do not intervene—he is beyond your capacity. Better to observe than to interfere and cause chaos."

As the elf knight was flung back by Shengzai’s blow, she shouted to halt the lower-level guardians attempting to join the fight.

Just from that single strike, she had felt Shengzai’s overwhelming power—any guardian below level 90 joining this battle would be no different from walking to their death, and could offer no help.

"But Lady Amirena, we—"

"Do as I say. He is not an opponent you can handle.

Do not forget: our masters are gone. We have no right to use resurrection items on our own. If you die, you will never be revived."

Hearing the elf knight’s words, the lower-level guardians reluctantly fell back.

Only four max-level guardians remained facing Shengzai.

They were the elf knight just now, a highly technological golem, an angelic being with eight pairs of wings, and a demon whose body seemed fused with shadows.

As Shengzai forced back the elf knight with his slash, the massive golem erupted with white lightning across its entire frame, channeling it into its fist and lunging toward Shengzai with a thunderous punch.

Facing this thunderclap of a punch, Shengzai did not dodge—he clenched his fist and slammed it straight into the golem’s!

"BOOM——————!"

The collision of fist against fist—though their physiques were utterly unequal—produced a shockwave that matched perfectly, evenly matched.

"Not only is his speed astonishing, but his strength is equally terrifying?"

Golems are renowned for their immense strength and size; seeing their strongest golem barely hold its own against Shengzai in raw power, the elf knight Amirena and the others were utterly astonished.

As Shengzai and the golem recoiled from their clash, a massive beam of holy light descended from the sky.

Without doubt, the attacker was the max-level angel among the guardians.
