Witch Special

In Lin Zhenxi's eyes, the group's performance in the time-lapse video was completely inconsistent with their actual combat effectiveness. When they weren't fighting, they acted like they were on a picnic, laughing and joking without a trace of seriousness. They even had a quarrel or argument every few minutes. Lin Zhenxi had seen the tall male gunner get uppercut and sent flying more than once for trying to harass the female fighter.

Well, now Lin Zhenxi is sure that the mature woman whose profession could not be identified before is a fighter, because when she fights, she just swings her fists and kicks without using any additional weapons.

Moreover, her moves were not just fancy moves; each of her punches and kicks was incredibly powerful. Even when she was ready to attack and gathering strength, she could use the traction of the air currents to drag an agile enemy in front of her and then give him a hard kick.

Lin Zhenxi knew a Tarot card officer, "Ghost Sword" Kakarina, who was known for her elusive movements. Whenever she ran, her erratic movements made it impossible to tell where she was. This was also her usual attack method, using her super-fast movement to stun her enemies, then piercing them from behind with her Ghost Sword.

This fighting style didn't have any significant flaws, and indeed, it had caused trouble for the small group of adventurers at the initial encounter. They were forced to form a back-to-back circle to fend off Jakalina's sudden attacks, putting them on the defensive. But then the female fighter rushed out and unleashed a powerful kick with a wide-area suction effect, knocking Jakalina's tall, slender body from "II" to "》", knocking her unconscious on the spot.

An average fighter cannot perform such a powerful kick. It must be a "God of War" who can do it.

While this group of adventurers might not seem serious, their skills were incredibly high. The key was that their abilities complemented each other, and they worked in perfect harmony. This was also the reason why Lin Zhenxi's companions fell before them one after another. No matter how strong an individual was, two fists could not defeat four hands, and not a single one of these people was weak.

And they didn't get lost! This was something Lin Zhenxi found quite incredible. The Silent City's structure was quite complex, especially now that even the elevators were out of service due to the destruction of the energy furnace. Even Becky, who spent all day wandering around the Silent City, would probably have difficulty correctly navigating every path to the next area. But what about this group? At most, they hesitated at forks in the road, struggling over which path to take, but they never once reached a dead end; every choice led to the right path.

Is this reasonable?

Obviously this doesn't make sense. There should be someone around this group of people who is extremely familiar with the structure of the Silent City and is constantly instructing them on what to do next, or simply has the complete structural map of the Silent City in his hand. Only in this way can it explain why they didn't get lost.

However, both possibilities were unlikely. Someone familiar with the structure of Silent City could only be from within it, but this group of people were clearly not even from the Demon Realm (with the exception of one red-haired dwarf). They were likely a mix of Arad and Celestial beings. Even if there were indeed traitors within Silent City, it would have been impossible to contact them in advance.

As for the second possibility, that's even more terrifying. The Silent City was built a thousand years ago, brick by brick, by the Apostle Luke himself. Even if the Silent City still had complete architectural blueprints after a thousand years, they were kept in a place only Luke knew about.

Could it be that Luke secretly gave the blueprints to these people, asking them to kill his own subjects? If Luke truly had such an idea, he wouldn't need to use outsiders. With just one order, at least half of the Tarot officers would obey his orders, raising their knives against their colleagues who weren't Luke's creations, slaughtering those who refused to give up resistance and then committing suicide. At most, they would give Luke a long confession of love before committing suicide.

So what is it?

I'm not sure, just ask when the time comes.

Lin Zhenxi continued to turn back time, and soon he finally saw that this group of people had forced their way through the road from the Energy Furnace to the Three Holy Sanctuaries, and began to attack the Three Holy Sanctuaries of Birth, Annihilation and Spread.

Seeing this, Lin Zhenxi's heart tightened. If this group of people started fighting, they would show no mercy. If they said they would kill, they would really kill. Although they did not kill intentionally, they would not kill if the enemy lost the ability to resist. However, if the enemy died in the battle, they would not feel any guilt.

Their indifference to the enemy's life and death also made Lin Zhenxi clearly realize that hidden beneath this group's unreliable behavior was a heart that had been weathered and experienced, and had become extremely resilient. Their strength was not limited to the display of force, but also to their steadfast heart.

Amidst Lin Zhenxi's anxiety, they began their attack on the three sanctuaries. The first choice was of course the Sanctuary of Birth, after all, it was the most advanced of the three sanctuaries.

But Norni was truly amazing here! Utilizing the magic traps and creature summoning arrays that Lin Zhenxi had left behind before his departure, Norni effectively stopped the group in the middle of the Sanctuary of Birth, preventing them from advancing with overwhelming force.

With a large number of difficult magical creatures acting as meat shields in the front, Noelni has a relatively safe output environment. When a super magic turret can be fully utilized, the power she can unleash is naturally quite terrifying.

Norni had no idea who these people were, why they were here, or even why the once bright lights of Silent City had dimmed. But since they were showing hostility, they must be enemies, right? In that case, she could take on her magical bombardment.

While this group was strong, their strength lay primarily in their coordination and lack of weaknesses. They didn't possess any exceptionally powerful abilities. So when Norni unleashed her full force, when colorful elemental magic began to rain down, filling the air with cones of ice, seas of fire, and even wind blades and laser cannons, they had no choice but to flee in disarray.

Seeing that Norni had actually fought off this team that had already caused huge damage to Silent City, Lin Zhenxi couldn't help but give her a thumbs up. Sister, well done!

She was really worried that these guys would kill Nornie and Rossello. She had only established deep bonds with these two people in this world. If something happened to them, Lin Zhenxi would definitely go berserk.

Constrained by her duties, Norni didn't pursue the group after repelling their attack. Instead, she forcibly cleaned up the utterly destroyed lobby area. As the Silent City entered low-power mode, the abundant energy flowing through the walls had been cut off, and the magic circles that relied on this energy flow had become disposable. Once the magic power Lin Zhenxi had stored within them was exhausted, they would no longer be able to function.

Fortunately, the group chose to retreat. If they had persisted any longer, the magic circles on the wall might have failed one after another.

But if they come back again, will Norni, who has lost the assistance of the magic circle, still be able to stop them?

Fortunately, what Lin Zhenxi was worried about did not happen in the end. After the group suffered a setback at the Sanctuary of Birth, they stayed at the gate of the Sanctuary of Birth for a while and got angry with each other, then turned around and headed towards the Sanctuary of Annihilation.

Poor Habu, because of a problem with the energy furnace, it lost the temperature regulation function of the external energy source, and the temperature of the Annihilation Furnace it was responsible for was out of control. This made Habu, who lived in the Annihilation Furnace, very painful, and he even lost his mind and fell into collapse.

Upon seeing these people intruding into his territory, Habu, losing his mind, attacked them without a word. The red molten iron in the Annihilation Furnace, manipulated by Habu, rushed towards the intruders like a raging wave.

The sense of incongruity appeared again. Lin Zhenxi discovered that this group of people actually knew how to activate the emergency cooling device to extinguish the furnace. They forcibly activated the emergency cooling device that had been offline by activating it with magic power. The overwhelming cold air directly froze the red molten iron flowing all over the ground.

While Habu wasn't killed directly by the emergency cooling system, the system was designed to prevent him from going berserk, so it naturally had a strong inhibitory effect on him. Under the influence of the cold air that permeated the entire room, Habu was trapped in the Annihilation Furnace, and even became extremely weak due to the lowering of the furnace's temperature.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the group destroyed the energy channel under the Annihilation Furnace, completely cutting off the Annihilation Furnace's connection with the outside world.

But they did not continue to kill Hab. After destroying the most core energy channel of the Sanctuary of Annihilation, they turned around and left. Before leaving, they even remembered to help Hab turn off the emergency cooling device to prevent the molten iron in the Annihilation Furnace from completely solidifying and suffocating Hab.

They are pretty nice people...

But how did they know that the Annihilation Forge room at the Sanctuary of Annihilation had an emergency cooling device? Even a properly hired employee like Lin Zhenxi didn't know about this, so how could outsiders like them know?

Is there really a traitor?
