Chapter 1081: The Tide Turn Around - Part 1

All his attention was on Tang Shaoyang, and he did not realize that the battle was over. Urugan did not realize that the soldiers and the five Epic Ranks were already killed. "Wait! Wait! I give up—" The only way for him to survive was to surrender, but the opponent did not give him a chance.         

    

Tang Shaoyang was already above him with the Titan Blade. He already used his skill, [Thousand Blasts]. It was too late for the defenseless Mighty Mercenary to surrender as a thousand blasts destroyed his body. The Blood Shield was triggered once more, but it was futile at this point. The shield broke, and the dust rose up to fifty meters into the air.     

As the dust settled down, Tang Shaoyang stood right in front of the mud blood. What was left of Urugan was a piece of plate armor and stained blood on the ground. "Shit. I did not expect he would give up like that." He thought the pride of that Myth Rank would fight to the end, not expecting the opposite party to surrender.     

"Maybe because he is a mercenary. He does not have loyalty to the empire, I guess." He muttered by himself as he put the Titan Blade back into the inventory. His lips curved into a smile as the system notification rang in his head. It was the notification that he leveled up from killing The Myth Rank. "Thirteen levels, huh… Not bad, not bad." He nodded his head three times, satisfied with his gain.     

Thirteen levels for one kill was a big gain for him. It did not take him a lot of effort despite the enemy being one rank above him. A few skills were enough to kill Urugan.     

"I have passed level 3000 after my fight against the Executioner Knights, which means my advancement will be at level 4000." Tang Shaoyang was frustrated when mentioning the advancement. His timing for the advancement seemed to be different than everyone else. "Maybe my level is even higher than that, Urugan." He muttered by himself.     

From Marshal Alton and the current Elven King's experience, they got into the trial of the Myth Rank when they reached level 2000. Here, he was above level 3000, yet he was still Ancient Rank.

Tang Shaoyang turned around and looked up. Guild Master Gortham had arrived at his location, observing the surroundings. His eyes did not leave the skeletons for a while.     

'Maybe this old man knows something about my absurdness, but I can't really trust him.' He wanted to ask the old man who had reached Demi-God Rank, but that would reveal all his secrets to the old man. He would not share his secret with someone he did not trust for sure.     

"Yo, this side is over too?" Noticing Ying's gaze, Gortham turned to his mysterious guest. At this time, he had heard everything from Lulu about what happened inside the Epic Rank Garden. The fact that the Virandal Empire tried to kidnap the Mistovel Family's descendants and how the empire planned all this scheme.     

"As you can see. I have eliminated them all." Ying shrugged as he turned toward the nine skeletons that had gathered on the side. He gave The Skelly Family a thumbs up. "Good work, everyone." The nine skeletons made clanking and clacking noises at the same, excited for the praise they received from the Master. He recalled them all before things got even more annoying, and he did not want the Guild Master to observe them even further.     

Old Man Gortham jumped off the tree, landing next to Tang Shaoyang. "I have heard everything." He said that and waited for Ying to respond, but the latter just nodded and avoided talking about what happened inside the Epic Rank Garden. "There's another reinforcement; why don't you go there?"     

The Guild Master rolled his eyes. "Your Golden Dragon has finished them off by himself. Don't talk like you don't know." Of course, the old man checked the other side first instead of coming here, but what was left behind was charred people and a small lizard that stayed on Lulu's shoulder.     

"We need to talk about the dragon." Gortham turned serious when the dragon was mentioned.     

"You can call me anytime." Ying nodded.     

Looking how at ease Ying was, the old man felt his guest was underestimating the situation he was in. "You are underestimating your situation." Gortham shook his head. "Let's talk about it later, but I owe you one for saving Lulu and the other adventurers. If the Virandal Empire successfully kidnaps Lulu, there will be a big war in the Starter City #5."     

"I am just doing what I am supposed to, no? That's part of the deal. I will do my best to help you, and you will do your best to help me?" Ying smiled.     

The Guild Master looked at Ying in surprise for a moment. "So that's why you don't hesitate to show your dragon without telling me anything, huh?" He rubbed the space between his eyes. "I guess I have to do my best to help you out too."     

Both returned to the main battlefield. It seemed the Guild Master was not ruthless as Tang Shaoyang thought. The old man captured the surrendered soldiers, and there were about three hundred soldiers.     

The Golden Lizard flew off from Eril's shoulder and returned to his Master as soon as he noticed Tang Shaoyang's arrival. He continued lazing around on his comfy shoulder as the adventurers' eyes fell on Tang Shaoyang. The other adventurers recognized that the golden lizard was more than a pet, but a Golden Dragon. They looked at Ying differently now.     

After the incident, the adventurers returned to the city. The news that the Virandal Empire broke the alliance rules immediately spread among other factions. The gate was locked, not really locked since the factions did not have the authority over the city, but they put their people to make sure that the Virandal Empire did not escape, and an emergency meeting was held.     

However, the situation did not just affect the Virandal Empire, but the other factions too. Before the meeting could reach a conclusion, all the factions were prohibited from doing any activity outside the city. Everyone was locked in the city, and the Virandal Empire did not admit their scheme to kidnap the Mistovel Family's descendants.     

The empire dismissed the accusation by saying it was individual action, not the empire's action. They apologized for what their noble tried to do but denied the fact that they were involved with the scheme. Basically, they threw the three hundred surrendered soldiers away by mentioning Callahan acted without the empire's permission.

The empire reduced the scale by putting all the blame on the Callahan Family, who led the action. There was nothing the Karian Adventurer Guild and Mistovel Family could do unless they had solid proof of the Royal Family's involvement.

"That's the current situation." Old Man Gortham called Eril and Ying to explain the current situation.         

    

"I am not interested in the political situation in this city, Guild Master Gortham. I will take my leave if you want to speak about that."     

"You must listen to this because, in the next meeting, the council will ask you, Eril, Roman, Damian, and Lulu about what happened inside the Epic Rank Garden. They are asking for your testimony." Old Man Gortham let out a sigh.     

"Hah…" Ying let out a chuckle. "So, they want to interrogate us? I am not interested. I have heard the procedure of the "interview" you talk about. I have to share my window status with the interrogator and take an oath. Do you think I will agree to this absurd situation, Old Man? Don't tell me you agree with this?"     

The Guild Master should be aware of how sensitive showing the window status was regardless of the condition. He would never show his window status, especially not to someone who would potentially be his enemy.     

"I don't have a choice. It was decided by a vote. There's nothing I can't do." Gortham shook his head.     

"Then I have to leave the city, I guess." Tang Shaoyang made an extreme decision rather than exposing his window status. He did not care if that meant he would become the Starter City #5's no.1 enemy.     

"Wait! Wait. You will be put on the wanted list if you escape from the city. Don't worry about the interview. The interviewer will take the oath that they will not share your information with anyone." Old Man Gortham tried to persuade Ying.     

"Yeah, sure. But the interviewer you talk about is from each faction of this city. That means all factions in this city will know everything about me. They might not share it with anyone, but they will know my limit, and they can order their people that are stronger than me to capture me or even kill me. Do you take me as a fool, old man? You should be aware of this issue!" Ying raised his voice. At his point, he was boiling, angry that the old man tried to persuade him.
