Chapter 147

【Blessing of Wind Spirit】: reduces arrow damage taken by 40%, lasting 1 hour.

All of them were special defensive items against arrows,

allowing him to successfully survive beneath the arrow defense tower.

He lived.

This was due to the shadow at the start of his territory,

which he had accumulated over two months in the 【Trading House】.

All just for peace of mind.

Xu Meng stared blankly at that arrow defense tower,

completely lost in thought, motionless.

His newly recruited hero, his griffins, had all perished.

He no longer knew what a lord should live for.

"Huh?"

A soft sound of doubt came from a black-haired man dressed in magnificent white robes,

carrying a black-and-blue bow on his back, appearing within Xu Meng's field of vision.

The Lord Terminal kept sending notifications of the arrow defense tower's kills,

which Su Yu had originally paid no attention to.

Because every day, many monsters would emerge from the War Fog.

But this time, it was a continuous stream of screen-filling notifications.

He glanced curiously at the terminal notification,

finding it both amusing and frustrating.

Defense towers cannot attack things inside the War Fog.

It was just that the place where the opponent had previously stayed had been explored by Iloti; the path marked by light provided vision, with no fog.

That is why the arrow defense tower launched its attack across the War Fog.

How could there be so many troop types...

rushing to die?

Griffins?

Truly familiar troop types.

Su Yu specifically came to take a look,

first to see who was so foolish,

sacrificing so much just to attack his single arrow defense tower?

Second, he was somewhat reluctant to lose those griffin feathers.

In the battlefield of The Entire Myriad Worlds where flying units are scarce,

feathers are a rare commodity.

He had just arrived here,

when he saw a thin, gaunt young man sitting blankly on the ground,

looking like a wronged little girl, with tears welling in his eyes.

Strangely,

the attacks from his arrow defense tower were actually blocked by the other party.

How many items must have been spent?

Xu Meng had originally thought,

that hoarding these items was just to buy peace of mind, to sleep well at night.

He never wanted to use them.

Until those ruthless arrows appeared again,

until all his troops and heroes perished,

he had no choice but to use them.

He did not want to be killed by arrows again...

He looked up at Su Yu,

watching the attacks from that arrow defense tower stop.

He immediately understood something.

A bitter, salty taste seeped into his heart.

That territory facing the descent of a disaster,

could it be that it successfully resisted the disaster?

Is this truly something that can be done?

Can anyone in The Entire Myriad Worlds and its myriad races truly achieve such a thing?

Xu Meng was lost,

he prostrated himself on the ground,

"Great One, I beg you to spare me!"

As he spoke, he offered up his soul.

Every lord's soul is stored within the Lord Crystal.

To surrender one's soul means to hand over everything in one's territory to the other.

"Uh."

Xu Meng's action made Su Yu pause.

To offer his soul right upon meeting—what's going on?

"I have no interest in your territory," Su Yu said honestly.

What could there possibly be in a new lord's territory?

Su Yu did not believe it would help his own territory's development.

Upon hearing this,

Xu Meng, kneeling on the ground, felt a lump in his throat.

This brutal lord had no interest in his territory…

His only fate, then, was death.

"Spare me… I'm willing to form a soul pact with you."

Xu Meng's voice trembled slightly.

Before Su Yu,

he dared not even kill himself to return to his territory.

The thought that this man might be a terrifying entity capable of ending the calamity

left him with not a single thought of escape.

All he could do was beg for the other's mercy.

A single arrow defense tower has this range.

Could that black-and-blue bow on his back shoot down his lord crystal with one arrow?

Form a soul pact?

Su Yu raised an eyebrow,

It was like signing a contract of servitude—with the force of cosmic law behind it.

Should Xu Meng ever harbor a thought harmful to Su Yu, his soul would instantly shatter, his spirit scattered to the winds.

It meant absolute submission.

"Fine."

Su Yu nodded; he vaguely guessed that Xu Meng might know something.

After all, among those who had come near his territory, besides Bai Xiaowei, it was this Xu Meng.

Now that he saw this arrow defense tower, he naturally connected it to Su Yu's territory,

and to that calamity—the arrival of the Void Beasts.
