LORD OF THE SKY CITY

Chapter 576: Chapter 539: Are There Still People? Chapter 576: Chapter 539: Are There Still People? As he flew over Kasin City, Rocky paid no attention to the demons roaring at him from the ruins. He was not there to kill demons this time, but to scout the area. Thus, he flew slowly and observed carefully, looking closely to see if there were any places within the ruins worth his attention.

When he was high in the sky, Kasin City did not seem very large. However, as he flew lower over the city, he discovered it was much larger than it appeared. This was normal, after all it had once been a city, even if it had now become a large swath of ruins.

But as he flew slowly for a while, he couldn’t help but frown and felt somewhat disappointed.

In his view, Kasin City had become a literal ruin. Rocky didn’t know what the city had been like before, but now it had declined to an indescribable extent. To say without exaggeration, not only were there no buildings, but not even a single complete street remained. Every corner that Rocky saw had been destroyed by demons, with nothing left but a pile of rubble.

This sight was desolate because, even if it wasn’t the kingdom’s capital, it was still a city. Yet, it had been destroyed by demons to the extent that nothing was left. One could imagine what happened to the people who once lived here. In fact, there was no need to imagine, because as Rocky slowly flew by, he could even see skeletons strewn amongst the ruins…

This sight also made him feel disappointed because the city had been thoroughly destroyed. Looking around, he could hardly find any buildings. Under such conditions, could they really find anything?

A question involuntarily popped into Rocky’s mind, and it was a problem he had to consider.

After all, exploring a ruin infested with demons inherently came at a cost, and this cost was clearly the lives of soldiers, possibly even the Guard Corps. With this in mind, knowing that no discovery would be made, was this cost-worthy exploration still necessary?

“Rocky, I’ve found something,”

Just as Rocky felt disappointed by all he had seen and even began to consider whether to continue the exploration, Karina’s voice came through the communicator.

“I’m on my way,”

On hearing Karina’s voice, especially since she had made a discovery, Rocky immediately halted his advance, then turned around and sped toward Karina’s location.

As the two were investigating separately, Karina’s position was almost on the other side of the city. It took Rocky a while to spot her.

“What did you find…”

Upon reuniting with Karina, Rocky immediately flew to her side and began to ask, but before he could finish his question, something caught his attention.

Joining Karina, Rocky looked down and immediately saw a building standing out amidst the rubble and debris. The building was strikingly noticeable, not because the building itself was different but because, in a city that had become a ruin, this building standing on the ground was an anomaly, impossible for anyone to overlook.

Seeing this building, Rocky no longer needed to ask Karina what she had found. Obviously, this was her discovery.

And more obviously, there was definitely something unusual about this building!

As already mentioned, Kasin City had become a ruin. Under these circumstances, the reason why this building was still standing was worth considering.

Was it simply by chance or a fluke?

Clearly, it wasn’t going to be that simple because, in every respect, the city had been ravaged by demons again and again. The building’s preservation was definitely not due to luck or happenstance.

But if it wasn’t luck, what else could have saved this building?

The answer was unknown, but this was precisely what Rocky and Karina intended to find out.

“Let’s go down and see what’s odd about this place,”

Turning towards Rocky, Karina said, to which Rocky simply nodded in agreement.

Following that, the two of them dived down together, flying toward the building below.

Their speed was not fast because they were not in a rush. However, just as they gradually neared the building standing in the ruins from the air, several Magic Energy Beams suddenly shot out from within the building, targeting them!

“Be careful!”

Realizing they were under attack, specifically by Magic Energy Beams, the two immediately performed evasive maneuvers in the air, splitting to the left and right almost simultaneously. After successfully dodging the attack, they quickly gained altitude, returning to their original position.

Having regained the altitude, Rocky and Karina exchanged glances, then both looked down again.

“What just happened? Was someone using Magic Energy Beams to attack us?”

Even though Rocky was quite certain of what he had just experienced, he still incredulously asked as he looked at the building within the ruins, because the whole event seemed too unbelievable.

“Could there be…people below?”

Similarly, as Karina looked down, she was also extremely surprised. The attack they had endured was definitely by Magic Energy Beams, indicating it couldn’t have been from demons. The only creatures capable of using Magic Energy Beams were humans!

“Were we beaten to it…?”

Looking at the building standing in the ruins, Rocky spoke with both doubt and belief. Indeed, only humans could use Magic Energy Beams for attacks, suggesting that people might be hiding inside the building, which means someone discovered this place before them and had explored it.

But…Rocky found it completely unrealistic.

Because they hadn’t seen any Sky City or Skyship in the surrounding airspace, and as everyone knew, the main modes of transportation in the sky now were Sky Cities and Skyships. People could only travel long distances through these means; even if wearing Void Magic Armor, which admittedly could fly, it was ultimately battle armor, not capable of sustained cruising.

So, how could people have gotten inside the building? Surely not from the land?

“Could it be…”

And with this thought, an even more astonishing idea emerged in Rocky’s mind, could this building still house residents of Kasin City?
