Chapter 57
Chapter 57: A New World, A New Destruction
The first thing Sivey did upon returning to Winterfell was to install the four Magic Cannons on his own Winterfell, one for each city wall.
Why only four?
This was because Karl Bloodhoof pleaded bitterly, even resorting to using his own beef as leverage, and finally shamelessly left behind a Magic Cannon and two boxes of magic crystals.
He was no longer just a Bloodhoof Clan Tauren Warrior, he was now a new type of soldier, a Tauren Magic Cannon soldier!
Sivey found this situation both funny and exasperating, but he had to admit that if his side had a Magic Cannon during field battles, it would be a very heartening piece of news.
The heads of the Earth Knights couldn’t be sent to Ampere’s domain, but Sivey secretly left them at the chaotic gates of Button City last night.
He believed that Viscount Button would willingly help him with the next step.
As Sivey expected, this morning, the stupid system indeed judged his quest completed.
The compensation had been arranged for knights to distribute. After this battle, the attitudes of most knights towards the militiamen had completely reversed, and Clement also apologized to Sivey for his previous thoughts.
When everything was back on track, Sivey leisurely returned to his office to begin the second important task of the day.
“System, lottery!”
“Ding! Detected that the host has completed all daily quests, currently extracting rewards for the host…”
“Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a unit reward, Three-Headed Hellhound… Ding! Triggering reward critical hit, upgrading the reward to a special unit: Hellfire Lord Salaken · Ashes.”
“Ding! The reward will be distributed in a reasonable manner. Host, please be prepared in an open area.”
“Ding! Detected that the host looted Button City, causing the Button Family’s accumulated wealth to be destroyed in an instant, plundering iron mines, killing capable Earth Knights under Count Ampere, causing extremely serious psychological trauma to multiple individuals, earning 30,000 Villain Points.”
“Wow, critical hit on the reward? And so many Villain Points?”
Sivey expressed delight. This wave of system rewards not only had a critical hit but also awarded his favorite unit, along with a bunch of extra Villain Points.
As for the system’s mention of an open area, was his room not spacious enough? It could accommodate two carriages without any issue.
Sivey didn’t mind, lazily sitting in his office chair without bothering to move.
“Ding! The reward has been distributed!”
Sivey estimated that this time, a magic array would appear on the ground. He was already familiar with the system’s routine.
But what puzzled him was that there was no reaction on the ground at all. Instead, a sharp whistling sound came from the sky outside the castle.
“Hoo, hoo—”
“Could it be a flying unit? Hellfire, it should be a fire elf, right? No, this doesn’t seem right…”
Sivey was a bit puzzled, following the increasingly loud whistling sound to the balcony.
“Oh my god!?”
Sivey stared dumbfoundedly outside the window, scalp tingling.
In the sky less than 500 meters from the castle balcony, a meteor with a green tail flame was hurtling down with a whistling sound, aiming straight for his room.
It was too late to dodge.
Expressionless, Sivey erected his Qi and shield, facing it calmly. If he didn’t know it was a unit dispatched by the system, he would definitely kick it away.
“Boom—”
The verdant meteor crashed straight into Sivey’s room.
The ground of the entire Winterkeep shook, and the knights looked at Sivey’s balcony in horror, emitting pained cries.
“Quick… quickly, go save the Lord!”
“Is the Lord crushed to death by the meteor?”
“By the gods…”
…
Meanwhile, in Sivey’s room.
The choking dust dispersed, and the pungent smell of sulfur pervaded the air. Gradually, in the room, a five to six-meter-tall stone giant appeared. Its head resembled a skull, and its entire body was engulfed in green flames.
“Flames! Death! Ashes!”
The flame giant roared, proclaiming his arrival to the Cain Continent.
“A new world, a new destruction!”
“Burning Legion, burn everything!”
“Great Demon Lord Sivey, Hellfire Salaken will offer you its loyalty… um…”
“Why are you a bug?”
The five to six-meter-tall flame giant lowered its head, engulfed in eerie green flames, and stared eye to eye with the Eagle Lord, who was the size of a child in front of him.
Sivey’s eye twitched. It was the first time someone had addressed him like this, but Sivey knew that the flame giant in front of him had no malicious intent. It was genuinely just very surprising.
This could be seen from its expression wrapped in flames.
Salaken: (°o°)
“As you can see, I am your summoner, the bug you mentioned…”
“Ao! Damn it! Oh no… I mean, excellent! Hellfire Salaken will offer you its loyalty! Humble bug… um… great Lord.”
Sivey didn’t pay attention to Salaken’s various slips of the tongue. This unit was obviously linked to demons, naturally incompatible with humans. Summoning it without a fight was already a stroke of luck.
So, the doggone system had some abilities after all. Sivey wondered what kind of contract it had made with these summoned creatures to make them willingly pledge allegiance like this.
As it was a unit he summoned, Sivey could see all of Salaken’s information, and the flashy panel almost blinded him.
[Name: Salaken · Ashes]
[Identity: Hellfire Chieftain]
[Strength: Great Demon Level 55 (51-60)]
[Skills: Hellfire Descent, Lava Strike, Volcanic Eruption, Fel Flame (Passive), Magic Immunity (Passive), Petrified Skin (Passive), Stiffness Immunity (Passive)]
[Equipment: None]
[Burning Legion Reputation: 52413 (Mighty Hellfire Chieftain, Underling of Gatekeeper Supremus)]
[……]
Look at this level, look at these magnificent skills. Although there is no equipment, what does this lump of stone need equipment for?
Sivey was dumbfounded and expressed that he couldn’t beat it.
Indeed, the system’s critical hit rewards had never disappointed him, and this time was no exception.
“That Salaken… can you extinguish the flames on you? My desk is on fire…”
“Of course, esteemed bug… um… Lord.”
Salaken said, retracting the flames on its body and forming green magma hidden in the cracks of its stone body.
…
“Mas… Master! Master, are you okay?”
Just then, from outside the door came the anxious voice of the maid Lori, tinged with a sob.
Lori had just returned from Mrs. Chris’s place when she saw a huge meteor crashing into Sivey’s room halfway.
She forgot everything else, running frantically toward Sivey’s room, even losing one of her shoes along the way.
“Master!”
The door was pushed open, and Sivey, with a resigned expression, almost foresaw what was going to happen next.
“Bugs! Smaller bugs!”
“Kinda like an orc? Strange bug!”
A hoarse, rough voice rang out above Lori’s head. Lori stared dumbfoundedly upward, her pupils gradually dilating.
“Mo… mon… monster, Ma… Master, run! Lori… Lori will stop it for you.”
Gritting her teeth, Lori summoned her courage, her small face flushed red, her petite body trembling as she stood in front of Sivey.
“Monster… monster, eat me instead. Master… Master smells bad, not tasty…”
Tears glistened in her eyes, and although she was already scared speechless, she still managed to use her eyes to remind Sivey to run quickly.
