Surviving The Fourth Calamity

Chapter 1602: Chapter 180: The Perfectly Placed Dimensional Gate

Hill sat quietly at the high terrace, putting on the gloves that Coron gave him.

This item, though rare, was not of a high level. When Coron gave it to him, he merely advised him to be a bit more elegant.

Don’t wave bear claws with that elf face, and most importantly, don’t dirty your hands.

Hill hadn’t cared about such things before; he could don a pair of sheer gloves and get hands-on.

But this time, he expected that things might get a bit dirty when he took action.

The dwarf gloves with their metal mineral attributes were perfectly suited to Hill, who didn’t want to touch anything dirty at all.

No way around it, after all, these so-called Great Sages couldn’t withstand dragon attacks, and Hill didn’t like the feeling of blood and gore.

Aesces had no intention of dissuading Hill this time, even if Hill was the one to drag him out and directly probe into the nature of these people, whether they were being controlled or tempted.

He really wished he could say these people were manipulated.

Unfortunately, they were not.

These Great Sages, relying on their abilities after the Danboro inland border gradually turned into a desert, still managed to transform their family territories into oases and maintain them well over the years as powerful figures.

An oasis is a paradise in the desert, a revered existence that even Aesces wouldn’t harm.

If he had that ability, he actually didn’t need to make the desert barren.

However, the emergence of the Lord of Earth made these oases struggle, and with increased drought, the energy barytes they needed were a bit excessive, which led these Great Sages, who had long been oppressive in their own domains, to have crooked ideas.

Aesces had calculated the reserves of energy ores these people had; even enduring an entire drought, they had enough energy barytes left for their families to live comfortably for 100 years!

So he didn’t think this disaster would affect the families in these oases.

Yet, he overlooked human nature.

For these greedy individuals, being able to take these riches and find a better territory by the sea would be best for the family!

After all, the desert environment no longer allowed them to search for more minerals.

And because of the Danboro Royal Family’s long-standing blind-eye approach, and their current precarious situation, these people had become somewhat overconfident, as if their past favorable treatment was simply because they were strong enough!

If they’ve thrown their brains away, they might as well feed them to the dogs!

The Danboro Royal Family doesn’t need anything from the desert region and would love for these people to shield them from the southern advances of the Desert Kingdom!

Their main defense lies in the endless mountain ranges, where there are both mineral resources and livable conditions, absolutely not to be given up to enemy countries.

To be honest, Aesces somewhat doubted if these people’s minds had already been consumed by spiders: Hill’s relationship with the World Master was evidently good enough to allow him to journey from outside the world into its upper regions!

After a thousand years, Hill is the first to be permitted! How could he be kicked out for using a high-level spell that barely touches the barrier limit?

Ismael standing right there, isn’t he?

That guy, in order to test crystalline weapons, used spells capable of Ninth Ring levels countless times!

Even Aesces managed to suppress the world’s backlash, so what was wrong with Hill, abiding by the rules, using a few Ninth Ring spells?

Hill could be considered their Earth Deity System’s child!

Even though Teraxil comes from the World Tree Pantheon, their attributes are primarily earth, supplemented by wood!

The world is simply the world.

No matter how problematic Aesces’s personality might be, he couldn’t hurt feelings over such trivial matters.

Most importantly, what capability does this group of fools have to truly understand such a powerhouse, valued by him, the World Master?

Did they think they could deal with Hill by finding a way to suppress his Earth and Wind spell abilities!

With Eosca uttering a word, providing an artifact to ban wind, plus a beautiful lady caressing them with tearful eyes, this group of idiots would come running uninvited!

Ah, no, in their minds, if Luciella, who might get the title of Goddess of Love and Beauty, became someone’s wife among them, then they wouldn’t need to leave the continent to keep ascending. Wouldn’t this allow them to rule and dominate the world!

And if that didn’t work, their family could remain the upper echelons of an eternal church, forever passed down through Aesces’s lineage.

Tsk, who knows where they heard all those wicked, absurd ideas, did they ask him?

Why did those Evil Gods think creating a Goddess of Love and Beauty, integrating into the World Rules, would be let pass by him, the World Master!

Wasn’t it just because anyone could stamp that thing out!

Aesces gently sighed, not daring to catch Hill’s attention in the slightest.

He always felt that the ’crackling’ sound of Little Bear’s gloves was Hill mentally hitting his head with punches.

After all, as far as he knew, even in Toril, not many dared to trouble Hill in person... either they were dragons comparable to deities, or avatars of deities.

And yet, coming here, even idiots who couldn’t even perform a few Ninth Ring spells dared to think of Hill as easy prey.

Although Hill wasn’t afraid of these people, the whole thing was disgusting!

In theory, he should have someone intercept these idiots.

But, um, it’s just that... you see, he just said to let the world return to the true natural cycle, and then immediately stop some people from seeking their own death, wouldn’t that be a slap in the face?

Moreover, if these guys really died, it would be more to his liking.

Hill glanced coldly at the sky.

He didn’t know if Aesces was hiding somewhere and watching, but he really felt this stone-headed fool needed a beating.

Regardless of how innocent that guy acted, the intention to use him to clean house couldn’t be hidden.

He fiddled with the layers of metal sheets on his armguard, pondering what method to use to vent his anger once all of this was over.

However, Hill had some doubts that although Aesces seemed strong, he estimated it was like their Teraxil’s Goddess of the Earth, both novices.

Acting somewhat recklessly.

”They’re here! They’re here!” The cries of the Undead Tribe shook the earth.

”Where is the gate opening?”

”Outside the Gourd Mouth, 500 meters away!”

”Hmm? Didn’t they say they were confident it would open in our home? Otherwise, why would we stay inside?”

”They’re just confident in themselves.

But the Old Dog thought that the area Hill swept over shouldn’t have any residual trouble, so he arranged the knights and priests with high battle merits to the front right from the start.

But isn’t it also just in case!

So, that’s why we’re here in the back among those less handy.

Even if not nimble-handed, at least there are many of us.

If we fight desperately, it’s enough for those who can fight to rush back from the front!”

The city center suddenly fell silent, it seemed everyone was listening to this person speak.

”You’re done speaking, huh?”

”Hmm? Done... Hmm? What are you doing?

Ah!”

”Alright, since he speaks so terribly.

I’ve taken him to the sky and dropped him dead, the pancake on the ground proves I’m not lying, hey~

So now, feeling better, right?

Then everyone can head to the front to join the battle, according to each family’s defense zone and the agreed switching defense time, hurry up and depart!

The Old Dog only gives you half an hour to consolidate time!”

Although he had his own things to do, Hill watched the mobilization drama before leaping to the clouds... The ’Magic Sword’ of the Black Rose is sometimes just so useful.

Actually, you can’t blame others for arranging such tasks for him, his mouth has always been quick and big, the only ones who can rival him are ’An Idler’ and ’Battlefield Lightening.’

However... those two don’t have the sensitive nerve like ’Magic Sword.’

Those two are always hindsight strategists, unlike ’Magic Sword,’ who sees and knows.

Looking at the battle scene outside the valley, Hill on the clouds couldn’t help but shake his head.

The outside of the valley was split into two parts because of a small river flowing to the sea.

The triangular area connected to the coast, apart from the Endless Vines on the sea, also has the fortresses of Doomsday and Wenjian families distributed on both sides of the long causeway.

Initially, the primary defense target of these families was the sea enemy, namely the giant sea monster.

Therefore, on the top of their fortresses were all sorts of Crystalline Weapons... these two families are wealthy to the point where the two main cannons given by Proud Sky Alliance clearly enough to blockade the sea, yet they insist on spending their own money to fill every corner of the fortress with weapons.

The key is, aside from the main cannons, other weapons don’t deal much damage to thick-skinned sea monsters... probably only after the main cannons break their defenses can these random weapons cause some damage.

However, those things that seem useless apart from burning money, when turned in a different direction are quite effective, after all, the downside of small power is fast speed.

And the position where the Moon Clan’s portal opens, perfectly at the crossfire point of these two fortresses’ firepower, it’s really... a gift of military exploits, no one would refuse.

Hill silently looked down and sorted out the armor in his hand... so, ’Snow Cloud Peak’ wanted him to leave some problematic spots for this?

At such close distance, how could Hill not find out the strange energy stuff a few hundred meters underground?

No matter how deeply hidden, it’s useless!
