Chapter 106: Any Evil Will Eventually Be…

Little Dragon Daughter transformed into a fierce plowing machine, pushing forward relentlessly.

Under the overwhelming power, any attempt at resistance was utterly meaningless.

Wherever she passed, no matter the attire, no matter the bizarre weapons used by the magical invaders, they found it difficult to put up an effective fight. Their weapons were useless against the Blonde Girl, instead, they were sent flying like bowling pins.

In just a matter of seconds, nearly twenty strong opponents from various factions fell to the Little Dragon Daughter’s hands. Not to mention the unlucky souls who were knocked back, crashing into walls and injuring themselves, leaving a huge hole in their formation that quickly descended into chaos.

This was still considering that Little Dragon Daughter was holding back and hadn’t used dragon magic due to concerns about the environment and accidental injuries.

Meanwhile, the Guardians, although Xiao Guang hadn’t actively attacked them as per Miss Vilyric’s wishes, were still toppled by the terrifying wind pressure created by Giant Dragon’s swift movements. Some even collided with walls and fell, unable to recover.

Fortunately, the two silver-robed leaders among the Guardians had some sense. Recognizing the logic behind Little Dragon Daughter’s actions, they decisively ordered their subordinates to avoid the two girls, to reduce unnecessary casualties.

Although the duty of the Guardians was to prevent outsiders from entering the depths of the prison, in such a case of large-scale invasion, stubbornly adhering to the rules and wasting fighting power against possible allies would undoubtedly be very foolish.

However, after dismissing their subordinates, the two legend-level silver-robed men exchanged glances and decided to give up their current actions, resolutely blocking the narrow entrance.

Miss Vilyric’s original intention was simply to clear a path, not to take over and wipe out all these invaders. They came quickly and left just as fast. In about a minute, Priestess had traversed the battlefield along the path opened by Little Dragon Daughter and reached the end.

Xiao Guang did not turn back to continue the slaughter, nor did she engage with the two silver-robed men who seemed prepared to meet their end. She had considered it, but Miss Vilyric stopped her.

Thus, like squashing bugs, after killing dozens of renowned masters from different factions, Giant Dragon Daughter returned to stand expressionlessly behind her master as if nothing had happened, not even a speck of blood on her.

“Is there something?”

Standing at the entrance and looking at the two legends blocking the way without attacking or drawing their weapons, Miss Vilyric tilted her head gently while holding her holy staff.

Putting everything aside, just the fact that they had the courage to stand before her after witnessing Xiao Guang’s displayed strength, without showing fear, made these two quite impressive.

Guardians, indeed living up to their name.

So, Miss Vilyric also showed some patience to converse.

“May I ask why you two have come? Beyond this point, only evil remains, nothing of worth.”

The older-looking man on the left, around his forties, replied in a calm manner.

He and the other man wore the same half-masks as those in the black robes, but theirs were silver to match their robes, which added a bit of mystery and authority.

“Names.”

“?”

Caught off guard by Miss Vilyric’s non-sequitur, he quickly regained his composure, realizing that this mysterious black-haired girl was asking for their names.

“In our organization, we only address each other by numbers, we are nameless, you may call me Left Guard.”

“Right Guard.”

The younger but more taciturn man cooperatively stated his title as well.

“Wow… that’s quite impressive…”

Miss Vilyric coughed lightly, ignoring the chaos and the group of invaders getting beaten and searching for their teeth behind her, casually explaining.

“Vilyric, this is my companion Xiao Guang, let’s call her an adventurer for now. I’m here looking for Ban Meikailande because I’m curious about certain things and I plan to get to the bottom of it.”

“So? If you want to stop us, that’s fine too. Feel free to attack, I will spare your lives.”

“…”

Left Guard and Right Guard exchanged glances for a moment, the atmosphere around them shifted several times, ultimately they were left with a resigned, bitter smile.

“It seems you completely underestimate us. Indeed, there are always greater talents beyond the heavens. If it were under normal circumstances, even knowing defeat was inevitable, I would still seek your guidance. But now…”

They turned their gaze towards the menacing invaders ahead, and simultaneously stepped aside, clearing the path.

“Guardians only respect the strong. This is your rightful qualification. Please… but I have one thing to say—those who carry evil must face the punishment they deserve; do not harbor any pity.”

With that, Left Guard and the silent Right Guard bowed their heads simultaneously, like statues, ceasing to speak.

“Heh~”

Miss Vilyric chuckled lightly, making no verbal promises, and proceeded alongside the protecting dragon.

Then, the two silver-robed men revealed their weapons once more and charged into the ranks of enemies coming at them.

…

The second layer of the prison was not as Miss Vilyric had imagined; it was not made up of cells constructed from iron bars as is common.

This place was empty, in the vast metallic room, only countless name-engraved iron plates hung around, along with corresponding silver circles below.

“Master… these are spatial transfer nodes. Human technology has actually reached this level?”

Little Dragon Daughter’s voice carried a hint of surprise, which was rare given her usual disinterest in battles and anything besides Miss Vilyric.

Spatial transfer nodes were a frequently used technology in the “Illusion World.”

To give a simple example, many game dungeons and high-level NPC residences are created using spatial magic to open small spaces attached to the main world, then connected through special nodes.

Such things are somewhat similar to the Forgotten Land and the shadow worlds created by the blood clan, but the small world connected by spatial nodes is generally a newly created place by high-level beings, having no direct link to the main outer world.

The cells holding the criminals here likely used a similar technology; after opening numerous independent small spaces, they were connected to this room by nodes. It was a quite innovative design.

It ensured safety, eliminated any possibility of conventional escape, while also saving countless spatial resources. It’s no wonder that the second layer was designed completely unlike a prison, resembling more a steel fortress. It turned out all the criminals in the second layer of the prison were kept in this single place.

So, the so-called third layer is actually a larger space connected to this one?

After all, this room has no other doors or windows aside from the entrance they came through; it is illuminated by magical lamps.

The question is, how could the people of this world use space technology from the “Illusion World”?

I remember Liliya once mentioned that this prison was constructed three hundred years ago under the supervision of some architectural genius, meaning this technology may very well have been from that very hand.

And without delving into whether that “architectural genius” was actually a player or merely inherited techniques passed down from players…

Combining the evidence of the dragon bones belonging to the red dragon in the “Dragonfall Valley”, and the strong sense of déjà vu from the so-called “Wishing Treasure” and a series of clues, at least one thing is already certain.

Without a doubt, there were other players from the “Illusion World” who once came to this world besides Miss Vilyric.
