Chapter 7: The Genesis War (Part 1)
The author is speechless…
Marshal Holy Dragon stood in front of the main city of Einil, staring at the sky deep in thought. At this moment, a wizard wearing a sky-blue robe approached and said, “Divine Dragon, the post on the forum has caused a huge stir. Players around us have already agreed to participate in this war, and the various alliance lords have also begun to act according to the plan.” Holy Dragon smiled and said, “Indeed, this is a war between the players and this world. Since the first struggle against the slave masters, this battle has already begun. We have learned from our repeated failures, and now we have grown stronger and more mature. This war will be our Genesis War—the world of players is coming, and all new things will replace the old. Madara is so, and we will be as well. Einil will inevitably be eliminated by history, Bai Xue, how is your prepared magical array?” The wizard stretched lazily, revealing two intersecting patterns on his sleeves and replied, “The magic is already in operation, but the magical aura has been suppressed to its extreme. It can only maintain for another hour at most. However, the magical array still needs to run for five hours. Moreover, once the suppressed magical aura bursts forth, even the surrounding countries might know. By then, we may face not just the royal guards of Einil…” Holy Dragon gazed westward and said, “They should be returning soon.”
Prius Town
The streets were filled with soldiers, but no one relaxed; a tense alertness was palpable. Even though they knew the enemy consisted of only a dozen or so people, the fear was undeniable—18 Gold-ranked warriors, each with a clear division of labor. An army made up of Iron-rank soldiers would not be able to hold them back. Yet strangely, they were attacking them. Could it be that these 18 wanted to wipe out an entire army? But the reality was different. In the battles, they depended on their great strength and intimate knowledge of the terrain, moving freely and at will. The traps set up by their leader were useless against their formidable power; their earlier edge had disappeared. In their hearts, all they could hope for was the arrival of reinforcements to end this bloody nightmare…
Strands of bluish light danced forward like floating feathers. However, the chaotic wind pressure surrounding them reminded everyone that this was something very dangerous. As a knight suddenly swung his sword, the feathers dispersed and merged into the air. Immediately, the air seemed to solidify, then pushed forward like a bulldozer, sending both soldiers and debris flying. “Rise, Azure Bird!” At the knight’s command, the bronze-armored warhorse beneath him let out a long neigh, leaping into the air. A faint blue glow indicated its rank—a Gold Fantasy Creature. It charged toward the solidified air with a powerful impact. “Wings of the Wind—Charge!” The solidified air shattered instantly as surrounding air rushed towards the warhorse. In the next moment, the horse transformed into a streak of azure light rushing forward. The wind behind it seemed like the wings of a celestial horse, and at the same time, those wings were like sharp blades. Anything touched by these wings was mercilessly torn apart…
“Leysen, save your strength, now isn’t the time to recklessly use your ultimate skills. It would be quite embarrassing if the Guild Master of the Cavalry Alliance were killed by the security forces and became a laughingstock on the forum.” A girl beside him earnestly advised their Guild Master. “No problem, weren’t you enchanted by me just now?” Angry, the girl struck the Azure Knight’s head with her silver-white bow. “Stop hitting! If my brain gets dented, it doesn’t matter, but the Eyes of Medusa are priceless.” On hearing that, the girl immediately retracted her bow, which was over a meter long and seemed to be made of pure silver. The Azure Knight was about to sigh in relief when he noticed that the girl had taken out a hammer. “You’re not a warrior, what do you need that for… I’ve sinned, I’ve confessed… Help! Murder!”
The commotion was quickly stopped by the surrounding teammates, who had long been accustomed to the Guild Master’s occasional teasing of Zuidian Honglian. Nearby soldiers had just been cleared, and no one dared to step forward from behind. The standoff continued. Another knight named Former Vow in the group asked, “Guild Master, should we move forward?” The Azure Knight glanced towards the east. A red signal flare had already risen in the east, signaling that the surrounding Einil guards were heading this way. “It seems the mission is complete,” the knight pointed forward, “Towards Einil, break out. Death to whoever stands in my way!” With that, he swung his sword fiercely, and the azure sword qi collided with the highest building of Prius Town—the clock tower. The bell at the tower’s top flew out, emitting a “clang.” Before it could hit the ground, it turned into powder. Then the clock tower began to tilt, blocks of bricks falling continuously. Then this symbolic building of Prius Town collapsed towards the surrounding soldiers…
At the foot of a mountain outside Einil’s main city, a massive magic circle appeared on the ground. Lightning occasionally sparkled on the rings of this circle. At the center of the circle, white light shot towards the sky but was firmly blocked by a purplish magic circle above it. The white light seemed reluctant to be suppressed, constantly impacting the magic circle. With each pulse, the magic circle shook and emitted a sound like glass breaking, shattered runes turning into purple powder instantly devoured by the white light. The wizards surrounding the magic circle continuously repaired its nodes, but the purple light still gradually faded. Finally, the white light erupted, beams penetrating the barrier and connecting with the sky, forming a light pillar linking to the stars. The suppressing magic circle exploded, sending the wizards who were repairing it directly into the divine hall. Magic elements went haywire. Wind, fire, water, earth, darkness—these elements usually invisible—now condensed into colorful threads converging into the light pillar. Around the light pillar, storms began, mixing and gathering various elements into a vortex. The originally clear sky was instantly covered with thick clouds, and lightning struck repeatedly. But before the lightning could touch the ground, it was drawn into the elemental storm, dispersing and disappearing…
Marshal Holy Dragon looked at the “strange” scene in the sky and was speechless. Among wizards, he had witnessed the power of 12th-tier spells. He had also studied the relevant knowledge at Kannaki (a floating city of Bud where the 12th-tier spell academy used to be) and was a part-time wizard himself, but he had never heard of such a scene. “Huangxuan Xue, what’s going on? This is too different from the 12th-tier spells!”
The wizard beside him tightly focused on the sky and said, “12th-tier spells involve rules. It’s impossible for players who are mostly at the Silver level to create this. I utilized extracted elements to break the order and form chaos, creating this Forbidden Storm. It will surpass the 12th-tier spells, haha~” Marshal Holy Dragon suddenly felt uneasy and quickly asked, “Is this reliable?” The wizard shrugged and replied, “How should I know? This can only be activated with the cooperation of a large number of players, and it costs a tremendous amount of money and energy. Theoretically, it is fine. I have been researching this for a long time; you need to have confidence in me.” At this point, Marshal Holy Dragon felt like strangling Huangxuan Xue. This guy had never even tested it. How had he entrusted such important matters to him back then? The clash of order and chaos… Marshal Holy Dragon could already imagine the scenario that would soon unfold. He sighed inwardly and ordered those around him: “Summon all the alliance leaders, the Genesis War has begun.”
