First of all, I'm already familiar with the route.
The only thing to do after you've familiarized yourself with the route;
Just kill!
A killing spree!
However, it is worth mentioning that there are many indestructible scenes in this city.
These white streets and walls are basically indestructible.
This is recorded in the book given by [Dawn].
These special materials, which look like white quartz, become extremely strong after being infused with magic.
It's like adding steel bars to concrete, making the structure extremely stable and impossible for even the bravest warriors to destroy easily.
Therefore, it would be almost impossible to destroy buildings and streets as easily as one could cause a ruckus in the Viscount's city, in Earl Elwin's city.
In An's view, it was less about containing magical principles and more about encountering the long-lost [world rules].
Ultimately, this is still a game world.
In reality, very few people in this world can directly perceive the rules of the world, and they are unaware that many things are inexplicable.
Just as a non-Witcher warrior cannot draw his sword outside the territory he is guarding.
They didn't know, nor could they fathom, the real reason why they couldn't draw their swords.
It's as if the world has placed a constraint on their minds, preventing them from breaking free.
An Yi was able to break the limit because he was already a player.
Perhaps only he in this world can realize the [rules of the world].
The fact that certain elements cannot be destroyed is one of the rules of the world. 5
In most games, walls are inherently indestructible.
Of course, if the attack is strong enough, and the world determines that the attack is sufficient to destroy the environment, then the environment can be destroyed.
But that's not something these heroes, who have just reached the Earl's city, need to worry about.
Their strength is only at the very bottom level in this city, and trying to destroy the scene is nothing short of a pipe dream.
Similarly, the demons here are currently unable to destroy the scenery!
For both heroes and demons, an indestructible landscape provides cover and protection.
At least when facing ranged attacks, both sides have much more room to maneuver.
The curfew is now in its final countdown.
Both sides stood in their respective places as if nothing had happened, and there wasn't even a hint of tension in the air.
You stand your way, I'll stand mine.
Neither side revealed any intention to kill.
Or perhaps, neither side takes the other seriously.
In the [Wanderer's] perception, the strongest among the group of heroes was only a level thirteen demon, like a bunch of ignorant and foolish demons.
However, in the eyes of the heroes, their target was not this group of level thirteen demons at all, but the level fourteen elite demon on the tower, the [White Patrolman].
According to the information provided by [Dawn], the Wanderers' only means of attack is the iron rod in their hands.
To swing an iron rod at someone, or to use magic to control an iron rod to swing at someone.
In terms of attack methods, they are truly inferior to the various elite demons and demon viscounts in the Viscount City below.
Know thyself, ever-victorious.
In this wave, the demons are in the open, while the heroes are in the shadows.
These demons knew nothing of the heroes' power!
"It's getting dark, and we can't stay outside during curfew. Please come inside."
Along the way, demons hurried back to their houses, trying to persuade the heroes.
However, he only gave a brief reminder before quickly leaving.
They've done all they can by giving a reminder; if they don't get back inside before dark, they'll be eliminated too!
"Heh, they're just demons, what's with all this hypocritical advice?" Samson, the Hero of Boom, sneered.
"Maybe it was just a genuine act of kindness?" Forre, the Exploding Hero, shrugged.
He was a high-magic-powered hero in the party, with no special changes in appearance, looking like an ordinary young man.
Most heroes don't actually change much in appearance. For example, the four members of the Saintess Squad only have marks on their bodies.
Lana, the "Dragon Warrior" who was originally covered in dragon scales, can now almost completely hide them as she levels up.
It certainly wouldn't have scales on its cheeks and the appearance of a dragon with claws and a tail.
The visible dragon scales were all hidden under the clothes, so they were practically invisible.
"Demons do not have a kind heart."
We stayed nearby, and he returned to the nearby area, which means we will most likely see each other again tomorrow.
"Most of the demons here are solitary. What benefit would it bring him to befriend a group as large as ours?" An Yi said calmly.
Miley's eyes widened slightly.
As expected of a swordsman!
Just a simple word of advice from the other party was enough to reveal their intentions!
"Rumble--"
This was the first time anyone had seen what the curfew looked like before it began.
The doors on the surrounding buildings began to close simultaneously, either shutting or falling shut.
The closing speed varies depending on the size of the door.
However, the progress is the same.
It's like there's an invisible progress bar, and all the doors are moving from "Closed 0%" towards "Closed 100%".
All the doors and windows in sight were closing at the same pace—what a spectacular sight!
It took less than a minute for the door to close completely and then be reduced to just a crack.
At this moment, Milu and Lana also put on goggles one after another.
Both the brave and the hesitant were watching the gates close, until—
"Oh!"
All doors are completely shut!
Night has fallen!
The entire city was jolted by magic, and something invisible instantly spread throughout the vast Earl's City.
In that instant, everything went black before the heroes' eyes!
Annie, Miluko, and Lana, who still had vision, also saw a large number of [Wanderers] attacking the heroes waiting at the alley entrance at the same time!
"Purification of the Group!"
At that moment, a flash of white light appeared on all the heroes, and Lycorina instantly removed all the negative status effects from them.
She was prepared!
"A gauze curtain!"
With a flick of his wrists, Klein, the Dark Warrior, unleashed a torrent of black mist from beneath his robes, which began to rapidly spread through the streets.
The wanderers, with an agility of up to 80, charged headlong into the black mist.
They have no eyes; they cannot see the spreading black fog!
However, the moment they rushed in, they lost contact with the [Patrolmen]!
Within the black mist, all their senses were suppressed, making it impossible for them to perceive the outside world or communicate with other wanderers!
They wanted to return the way they came, but losing their sense of perception meant losing all sense of direction.
Not only could they not escape, but most of them ended up crashing into the surrounding buildings.
Before the heroes could even make a move, the wanderers were bumping around like headless flies, getting dizzy and disoriented.
However, the heroes didn't see it either.
The most significant feature of the [Gauze Curtain] is that it physically obscures vision while applying a negative zero status effect. ＆■≮
They didn't sense the black mist before they rushed in because the black mist itself was only used to inflict negative status effects and did not block the magic they used to detect things.
The black fog not only blocked the view from the outside, but inside it was almost pitch black with extremely low visibility.
Even though the Dark Warriors had deliberately dispersed the black mist around each of the warriors, they still couldn't see their target.
but;
This was a situation that had been anticipated long ago.
"Ok?"
In the darkness, Layton saw a small, long-haired, white-robed figure floating in mid-air, its blue color a ghostly blue.
The other person waved their small hand, wrapped in a white robe, vigorously in a certain direction, as if giving Layton directions.
“Okay! Let’s go!” Layton nodded.
Within the black mist, the powerful warriors remained motionless.
Meanwhile, the other heroes, though possessing lower magical power but stronger physical bodies, stalked the darkness—
Assassination!
"puff!"
The crimson blade pierced the chest of a wanderer, who was completely unaware that the enemy was right beside him.
