Chapter 753: A Disastrous Price
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
A shrill and piercing demonic sound rose from nowhere . It was at first faint, but it soon became strong . Initially, it was like the sounds of rain from a shower, then, it grew to a storm .
The players within a circular area of 328 feet all noticed their blood boiling! Then, the ground and buildings in the area started swaying .
Within an instant, the entire battlefield was thrown into chaos .
They felt as if the world was turned upside down!
Many players felt their eardrums ring at that moment, and they could stand on their feet at all, much less continue fighting .
“Are there earthquakes in the game as well?”
Many people did not notice that all this was because of Wind Chimes .
The Dragon Sect elite who delivered such a powerful palm strike on Wind Chimes that she coughed up blood also did not realize that all this was because of his palm strike . When he sensed the roof swaying madly, his expression changed drastically .
The tiles on the roof suddenly exploded . Those Dragon Sect elites were caught off guard, and all of them fell from the roof .
At the same time, the power from Soul Breaking Sound was finally completely unleashed!
The music from deities will not end even when the sound lingered for three days, but the vengeful demonic sounds will cause the doors to hell to open even if they stayed for a moment!
When those loud bangs rose, the roof where Wind Chimes was became the first to collapse, and that damage spread out .
Soon after, the ground 164 feet away was suddenly flipped over, as if a major explosion happened underground . That huge impact, along with the force of the explosion, was, coincidentally, at the edge of the defense line .
The people from Towering Palace and Class One Hall were the first to face the explosion . They were caught off guard, and quite a number of people were thrown off their feet on the spot .
The two people fighting against Silver Wolf were also included in the area of attack from the remaining force .
Silver Wolf reacted quickly .
He dodged, and while his pressure decreased, he seized the elbow of a Dragon Sect elite whose qi had been largely depleted, and while he ignored the person’s shocked and alarmed struggles, he forcefully used his strength .

He gripped the Dragon Sect elite’s elbow and twisted it . That Dragon Sect elite screamed in pain, and his elbow changed shape straightaway!
But it was not surprising that this happened .
Ever since Silver Wolf joined World of Martial Arts, most of the martial arts he practiced were palm techniques, and his main weapon were his fists and legs . His Arm Strength had long since surpassed 240 points . Right now, the Dragon Sect elite’s qi was not enough, and he had cracks in his defense now, which made him a perfect target for Silver Wolf to vent his anger now that he flew into a rage .
That Dragon Sect elite’s body froze instantaneously when his arm was broken . When he realized that he was in a dangerous situation, Silver Wolf had already brought his palm down, and his red palm, which was as red as blood, struck the top of that person’s skull .
That person shuddered, and his body instantly became limp .
It might seem to have happened over a long period of time, but it was actually over very quickly .
Silver Wolf killed that Dragon Sect elite at the instant Sound Breaking Sound exploded forth, and the motion was completed in one go . The Towering Palace members and the other Dragon Sect elite around him had not even reacted to the situation .
Out of the four Dragon Sect elites, two had been swept into the countless sound blades and impacts that shot out fiercely from the ground . The other person had his attention attracted by the sudden abnormality .
He could only watch the explosions flipping over the sturdy tiles in succession and the fatal sound blades causing blood that dazzled the eyes to rise in the crowd . Hundreds out of the large group of people from Towering Palace instantly died .
Multiple sound blades that flew everywhere appeared above Mu Clan and descended into the crowd . It was only then that the Towering Palace members realize just what happened in their dumbfounded state .
They also finally understood just what sort of demon the elites who jumped on the roof had unleashed upon them!
The Mu Clan members had already shown signs of losing with no hope of turning the tables, and because of it, they had gathered together to protect their hall, which was why they were not enveloped in the AOE from the demonic sounds .

Aside form a handful of people begin affected, most of them just watched the black mass of enemies suddenly descending into a hopeless state where it was very difficult for them to protect themselves while they were filled with endless joy . Their morale was instantly lifted!
“All Mu Clan members, hear me!” Silver Wolf’s enraged roars filled the air above Mu Clan’s branch . “Kill them from the distance! Take revenge for our friends who died!”
Among the people in the battlefield, only Silver Wolf knew that Wind Chimes’ Soul Breaking Sound can only last for fifteen seconds . The area will not expand too widely either . Hence, each second might be incredibly important to Mu Clan .
“Little North, lead a group of people and kill those bastards in the hall!”
Silver Wolf’s voice traveled into his ears .
Little North immediately responded to his call and chose a group of people without another word to rush into the collapsed hall with an aggressive charge .
Those five Dragon Sect elites were unfortunate .
When Wind Chimes realized that she will surely die, aside from setting up the six great notes from Soul Breaking Sound around Mu Clan’s branch, she also took extra care of them!
The first note caused the roof to explode!
They were not just caught off guard by the sudden explosion, but while they plummeted to the floor, the rapid zither sounds also left behind multiple wounds on their bodies fearlessly .
The person who killed Wind Chimes were instantly slaughtered .
The other four were heavily injured, and they were in a tragic state!
Once they fell from a high place, those four Dragon Sect elites stood up from the disorderly hall, and right then, dozens of Mu Clan members pounced on them .
Those four were instantly caught in a fight .
When they learned that they were in the meeting hall in the branch, they did not even dare rush out . They could only hope that the people from Towering Palace could hurry up and get in or hold back the people from outside!
But right when this thought rose in their heads, Little North and his group had already pounced over like the wind . The four who were already covered in wounds instantly had their faces turn pale, and they knew that they cannot escape from their disaster .
Outside the meeting hall, as Silver Wolf gave his enraged order, a huge arrow shower joined the Soul Breaking Sounds to deliver an even more fatal blow on the Towering Palace members who were already suffering horribly .
Many of the elites were either killed by the sound blades or shot full of arrows .
The Mu Clan members stood resolutely outside the area of attack from the Soul Breaking Sounds while they quickly and mechanically drew their bows and shot at their enemies .
When the power from the sound blades gradually diminished, the branch had already been cleared of enemies .
That included Grim Green and the rest . That sudden Soul Breaking Song had killed them all .
Six Dragon Sect elites at the front yard died!
Those dozen or so Dragon Sect elites at the backyard were fortunate enough to return to their peak, and they had escaped in time, but three of them still died .
Then, there were those five from the roof .
Wind Chimes’ explosion of power at her death had allowed her to kill more than ten top-class elites in one breath, not to mention more than one thousand Towering Palace and Class One Hall normal members, but there was a part of them who died under Mu Clan’s arrow shower .
But it had to be said that her Soul Breaking Song had extinguished much of Towering Palace’s aggression .
Even though a lot of Mu Clan’s members had also been sacrificed to the point that they were left with only half of their original number, practically all of Towering Palace’s elites died at the frontlines .
Dragon Sect only had those ten or so elites who ate Illusion Life and Death Pills left .
Mu Clan used a brutal truth to tell them a fact that they had no room for doubt .
If they wanted to take down Mu Clan, they must pay a devastating price!
Right now, that price was all the cities in the south of the coastal area, along with nearly ten thousand of their elites in Yangzhou City!
Clear Music was rendered speechless . She sucked in a deep breath, calmed down her raging blood, gritted her teeth, and said, “Lock down Guanlin Temple tightly! We will stop attacking temporarily! Once the Dragon Sect elites, Grim Green, and the rest are resurrected, we will prepare the final attack!”

The Beaumort Society
The city of Omen is on the cutting-edge of learning and science, and the things going on behind the backs of the Institute and the government, and sometimes with their approval...well, they don’t really matter. Conspirators operate just below the surface, societies clashing, fighting for their own mysterious ends. It's here that the individual known as Nemesis Jones, a self-styled private investigator, arrives, stumbling onto the doorstep of a curious bookstore called Beaumort's. He's here in search of answers, but all he seems to find is more questions - like the strange girl who arrived at Beaumort's shortly after him, and the peculiar stranger who just may have the answers he seeks. After he stumbles upon a conspiracy tied far too closely for comfort to his best friend, it's up to him and some other nosy eccentrics to unravel the mysteries of the city one by one, beginning with the murder at the Theatre Obscura. Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, all of this is explicitly outlined in Nemesis' job description. [ILLUSTRATIONS BY @THEEGGGARDEN ON TWITTER] [UPDATES 13TH AND 27TH OF EVERY MONTH]

Moonshot
Gregarious businessman Evin Tumble is fascinated by the sudden and inexplicable appearance of a low-orbiting moon. Specifically, he's interested in shooting it down with a giant cannon. The moon is only about eight miles overhead, but it's high enough and quick enough that nobody can reach it by balloon or airship. He hires our protagonists: taciturn Iseult Morrin, cheerful Sean Whelan, and nervous Íde Ceallaigh, to help him with his obsession. As our heroes are dispersed across the continent to perform tasks for Tumble, and the moon-hunt draws closer, they become increasingly suspicious of their benefactor's motives and true nature. Moonshot is a story centred around struggling with confidence, the difficulty of being an immigrant, and the duality of truth, all clad in the trappings of an urban fantasy. It is character-driven, from the heart, and based on tropes and ideas that are missing from a lot of contemporary fantasy (a push beyond the flawless-yet-somehow-still-needs-rescuing-by-an-oafish-man heroine trope, a touch of cosmic magic based on the shared geometries of Celtic and Arab art).
