LORD OF THE SKY CITY

Chapter 577: Chapter 540: Something Strange! Chapter 577: Chapter 540: Something Strange! Kasin City… Could there still be survivors?

When Rocky realized someone was attacking him, several possibilities flashed through his mind, but after dismissing each one, he thought of an even bigger possibility. Could there still be survivors in Kasin City?

It was well-known that there were people on the land, descendants of those who had remained during the Land Era, self-proclaimed as The Forsaken People. Could it be that inside this preserved building in Kasin City, there also existed members of The Forsaken People, just like in Backhill Village years ago?

“Impossible.”

When Rocky voiced this bold idea, Karina decisively shook her head, “Backhill Village survived because they had contact with the sky. In fact, all of The Forsaken People who survive on the land today have more or less dealings with the sky, but here… it’s just not possible.”

“Right…”

Hearing Karina’s words, Rocky nodded unconsciously and then looked down at the building below. It really didn’t look like anyone lived there, although there were no demons around the building, but among the surrounding ruins…

Wait a moment!

Just as he thought this, Rocky suddenly noticed something was off!

Why were there no demons around this building?

Thinking this, he looked around more carefully and soon noticed that within about a hundred meters around the building, it was empty, without a single trace of demons. No, that wasn’t the right way to put it, because if you looked closely, you would see numerous demon remains on the ground within this hundred-meter radius…!

Some of these demon remains looked freshly dead, others were already dried up, and some had even turned into white bones!

What was going on here?

After noticing this anomaly, Rocky immediately told Karina, but unfortunately when Karina also saw the remains around the building, she shook her head, obviously also unclear about what was actually happening.

“Stop thinking, let’s charge in and see, we’ll definitely find the answers then.”

Since they couldn’t figure out the answer, it seemed better to just charge in and find out, which was very much in line with Athena’s personality, and indeed, it was the only way for Rocky and the others to clear up the truth.

So, following that, the two of them once again dived downward, flying towards the building below!

Exactly like before, as they descended to a lower position, beams of Magic Energy Beam shot out from inside the building, and the closer they got to the building, the more intense these beams became.

However, though these attacks might seem ferocious, they were far from lethal for Rocky and Karina, who were seasoned elite warriors wearing the most advanced armors of today.

There’s no need to say more about the White Demon Armor that Rocky wore; Karina’s armor was no longer the fourth-generation Special Armor of the past, but had been upgraded to the fifth-generation Special Armor, famously known as the Valkyrie Armor. This model was touted as the strongest among the fifth-generation lady’s armors, with a Magic Energy Value of a full 10,000 points, a top-tier armor indeed.

In such a situation, when the Magic Energy Beams became dense enough, the two simply stopped dodging, opened up their Defensive Nets, and weathered the concentrated beam attacks as they charged into the building!

With a whooshing sound, they burst through a window into the building. Upon landing, they coordinated perfectly, facing different directions, one to the left and the other to the right, and raised their arms, which were equipped with various weapons ready to fire at any moment.

“No one…”

“How can this be?”

However, when they landed and were ready for battle, they discovered that there was no one in the building!

They were now standing in a corridor, but both ends of the corridor were utterly empty, not even a shadow present.

This result made the two of them even more puzzled, because if there were no people here, who had fired the Magic Energy Beam? And who was attacking them?

“Rocky, look here!”

Just when Rocky was somewhat baffled, Karina called out to him, and following her voice, he noticed she was standing in front of a wall in the corridor.

“What’s the matter?”

Coming to Karina’s side, as she faced the wall, Rocky was curious.

“Look here… It seems like a magic circle…”

“Oh?”

Upon hearing this, Rocky involuntarily looked towards the wall. At first, he saw nothing unusual, but as he looked closely at the wall’s patterns, he discovered that the seemingly dilapidated wall indeed had a design similar to a magic circle. However, this design was not painted on the wall but deeply engraved into it. So, even as the wall itself had crumbled over time, the deeply engraved magic circle still existed.

Magic circle…

This term was both familiar and unfamiliar to Rocky, and indeed to Karina as well, because the source of Mana Technology that supported the whole world was magic, and the magic circle was clearly a form of magic, more precisely, a manifestation.

However, this kind of thing was far too distant from the present era. Even during the Land Era, the use of magic energy had already commenced, and with the widespread application of mana, simple magic gradually exited the stage of history.

When the era evolved into the Sky Era, people’s application of mana made great leaps forward, further hastening the departure of pure magic from the historical stage. To this day, although everyone could control magic power, it was only for better utilization of mana products, not for becoming a mage. Nowadays, probably only researchers like Orton who studied mana would delve into magic; ordinary people would not even touch it or had almost forgotten the field entirely.

Similarly, as a transmigrator, Rocky’s understanding of magic was also quite limited. Although he was a student of Orton, his magic power had only reached the Fourth Level thus far, and he knew only a few spells, so his knowledge of magic circles was not extensive.

But even so, when he discovered the magic circle on the wall, he immediately realized who was attacking them.

“Karina, do you remember the Magical Energy Storm at the Traceless Battlefield?”

Touching the engraved magic circle on the wall, Rocky glanced at Karina, and upon hearing his words, Karina nodded directly, “I was thinking the same. The Magic Energy Beam that attacked us just now must have been emitted by these magic circles; it must be a trigger-type magic circle similar to the Magical Energy Storm.”

“It seems there is indeed something strange about this place!”

Having said that, Karina glanced at Rocky, and though her helmet concealed her face, her tone of voice revealed that she had become somewhat excited!
