Chapter 1071: Chapter 492: Collapse of the Future

At seven in the morning, Fuya, having just gotten out of bed, logged into the game right on time.

Last night, being ambushed and forced offline was quite embarrassing, but she hadn’t forgotten about this morning’s plan to kidnap the saint, and had gotten up early to prepare.

"You appear on the streets of Brilliant City."

"Just as you appear, several arrows are shot at you from behind, blocked by the magic shield around you."

"You turn and see two sentries several meters away, one hastily turns back as if to report, while the other draws his knife and charges at you."

"In your hands, two Fire Spears burst forth, instantly piercing the charging soldier, another Fireball under your control traces an arc, hitting the other accurately, knocking him to the ground. However, he had managed to launch a magical signal flare before falling."

"The signal flare flies high into the sky, exploding into a brilliant firework."

"The moment the fireworks explode, you suddenly hear the bustling sounds around you, as a large number of knights pour out from the streets on all sides, charging towards you ..."

"Ah, there’s an ambush after all ..."

Fuya smirked, considering it was quite normal for the opponent to station people near the teleportation point after she had disappeared into thin air from the street upon logging out the previous night; she was mentally prepared for this.

She immediately sent a prepared scroll and a card into the game.

"A large number of knights quickly surround you, with several leaders throwing several specific anti-magic iron nets. The dense nets link together in the air, blocking your escape routes and looming over you ..."

"You tear the ’Teleport’ scroll in your hand, reappearing in an alley a kilometer away."

"You activate the Hermit Card, entering an invisible state ..."

To break out of the encirclement, Fuya directly used a valuable Teleport scroll, which teleported her immediately to a location one kilometer away in a certain direction, preferably to an area with sparse energy—meaning fewer people—serving as a very practical life-saving tool.

As for the Hermit Card, naturally, it was lent to her by Mu You. Most of the knights in pursuit had means to counteract invisibility, but even the best counters required proximity to be effective. At this point, the deep invisibility provided by the Hermit Card proved to be very useful.

Next, Fuya maintained her invisibility and began moving towards the city center. Whenever pursuers came close, she immediately stopped moving, entering deep invisibility, and continued her movements after the pursuers had left.

After carefully moving for half an hour like this, Fuya finally located the square where the saint was giving his speech.

"You arrive at the periphery of Saint’s Square."

"On the large square ahead, thousands of men and women are neatly dispersed around the area; each sitting on their knees on the ground, listening to the saint’s teachings above, each with a fairy on their shoulders, also devoutly listening to the speech."

"And on the outskirts of the square, even more people and fairies gathered. Everyone perked up their ears, trying to catch every word spit out by the saint; their faces revealing immense devotion and fanaticism, as if hearing the saint’s voice was the greatest fortune of the day ..."

"..."

Fuya really wanted to take back her earlier words. The people in this city seemed not quite normal, getting so fanatical over a routine speech. The religious worship atmosphere of this city was clearly a bit too extreme.

"You look up to see that, at the center of the area, a middle-aged man wearing a white robe and radiating golden light stood on a high platform. He read slowly from a manuscript in his hands, his gentle voice seeming to carry a magical infectiousness that naturally calmed down all creatures listening ..."

Fuya initially wanted to just observe and identify the saint’s face without revealing herself. If he matched with Mu You’s avatar, she wouldn’t need to expose herself.

Unfortunately, this guy actually emitted a flashing light, greatly increasing the difficulty of observation. After waiting a long while, the game text never provided a detailed description of the man’s appearance.

Fuya quickly grew impatient and continued to control her character, moving toward the interior of the square.

"You invisibly sneak toward the center of the square, carefully avoiding all the believers along the way, getting closer and closer to the center platform ..."

"Just as you sneak within ten meters of the saint, a fairy on the shoulder of an ordinary civilian nearby seems to sense something off, suddenly sprinkling a handful of dust in your direction."

"The fluttering dust settles around, hanging in the air, and though it doesn’t directly force you out of invisibility, the falling dust faintly outlines your body’s curves."

"What’s that!?" Several patrol knights near the platform immediately shout, drawing their swords and charging towards you."

"An assassin!" Someone yells, and the scene immediately turns chaotic, with screams rising. Civilians nearby instinctively stand up to flee, leaving an open area, making you highly conspicuous."

"No matter..."

Fuya furrowed her brow as she had already been exposed. She simply controlled her character to reveal herself and released her one and only Forbidden Magic: Flame Dragons Chaos!

"Under your feet, a fiery Fire Magic Circle emerged, from which dozens of Flame Dragons burst forth, roaring and charging at the surrounding knights."

"The densely packed Flame Dragons swirled in midair, continuously spewing Dragon Breath downward, immediately turning the scene into a sea of fire. The scorching waves swept over, with many civilians unable to dodge being burned to a crisp, forcing even the knight guards to retreat temporarily from the ferocity of the Flame Dragons."
