Du You strolled around the city as if sightseeing, while eliminating the armies and people that were helpful to the city.
With Du You’s strength, he was almost invincible in this city. No matter what he encountered, Du You was not worried at all. What worried him the most now was other Awakeners hiding in the Beastman city.
Last time he had killed two, but who knows how many more there were. So every time Du You began to fight, he would carefully observe his surroundings. The Cursed Crow King was watching closely from within the thick smoke overhead.
The Cursed Crow King did not use any skills or activate the Curse Aura. He was simply serving as Du You’s eyes in the midst of the dust and smoke.
Needless to say, like ordinary crows, the Cursed Crow King was not scared of thick smoke. In the smoke, he flew freely and observed everything around Du You.
"It’s strange, why I haven’t found any yet... Were there only two, or have the others already fled?"
He hadn’t seen any Beastmen or humans with unusual behaviour or any unusual scenes. Logically, since the city had become , if they were here, they would definitely act.
Awakeners were different from the ordinary Beastmen. They could easily expose their unique skills once they start fighting. With these skills, Du You could root them out.
"Hey, do you know that the granary is over there? Let’s hurry over."
"No way, how did you get that information?"
"I heard it from a senior Beastman official. We should hurry--not many people know yet. If more people find out, we’ll lose our chance. Once we find the granary, we won’t have to worry about food."
Du You overheard this conversation between two boarmen, his eyes lit up. He had to follow them to find the granary.
However, Du You had no intention to feed himself, he wanted to destroy the granary. Once the food stores were gone, even if the Beastmen managed to settle the current chaos, their fate would become even more miserable, inevitably leading to their demise.
To destroy a city, killing the people inside is the most direct method, but definitely the most difficult one. In contrast, destroying their food supply is the simplest way and would inevitably succeed.
Complying with their direction, Du You followed the two boarmen. But halfway there, the two boarmen suddenly fell into two halves by a Dou Qi, turning into corpses before Du You’s eyes.
Looking up, he saw a Sixth level Beastman Warrior wielding an axe, just jumping out from a corner.
Du You scorned, "Humph, look’s like I’ll have to find it by myself." The most update n0vels are published on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✦𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮✦𝓷𝓮𝓽
As he spoke, he cast a Disintegration Spell with a wave of his hand. The difference in levels was such that the opponent couldn’t dodge it in time and was hit by the spell. His Dou Qi did not play a role in negating it.
Upon contact with the Disintegration Spell, the Beastman turned into debris scattered all over the ground. Du You continued to move forward, crossing the chaotic streets. Finally, he saw an open area, in the centre of which were several peculiar warehouses.
The warehouse was huge but crude. Grains and dried meat could be seen with some leaking out from the corners. The Beastman’s buildings had always been as rugged as this, but Du You confirmed it as the granary.
"Who would have thought that such a large area would house all the food. This is probably where all the Beastmen’s food supply is gathered. As long as I destroy this place, their city will definitely collapse."
With a wave of his hand, Du You expanded the surrounding flames with a Mucus Swamp spell. As the toxins spread, the Beastmen who had just approached the vicinity died one after another from poison.
Just as Du You was about to start another fire, a sense of impending danger surged in his mind.
Du You instinctively cast a Shield Spell, the purple light blocking his left side. The next moment, a bloody claw swung through the void, and after a brief resistance, his curse was shattered.
"What a powerful attack." Du You finally saw the attacker. It was a beastman with a large yellow head. The attack just now was emitted by him. The deep red Dou Qi wrapped around his claws, a menacing aura emanating from it.
The shiny tag on his head indicated that the newcomer was a twelfth-level Beastman, a native.
"He managed to break my Shield Spell at level 12, this kind of attack strength, this guy’s real attack power is probably equivalent to a 8 star or even 9 star Awakener." Du You thought.
The defense of his Shield Spell was simply too strong, and it was not something that an ordinary attack could break. It was even more difficult to break through by direct confrontation.
"You’re that human mage, aren’t you? I don’t know how you managed to disguise yourself as a Beastman, but I know that since you did this, you must be coming here. Regardless of what will happen to the Beastman city in the future, you, the source of the trouble, must die."
"Who are you?" Du You watched carefully.
"I am the lord of this city, Lionman Barre. Invader, you are qualified to know my name."
"That is indeed an honour for me. My name is Du You." Du You said casually. But in his heart, he was muttering to himself, is this guy really a lionman? Why does he have such sparse hair on his head? Even a Tibetan Mastiff looks more like a lion than him.
If Barre knew what Du You was thinking, he probably wouldn’t be so calm. Had it not been for the problems he aroused, Barre wouldn’t have been anxiously pulling out his hair, almost leaving himself bald.
"Du You? So, you’re the hero of Border City. The Border City said they expelled you; it seems that’s not the case. Anyone would hesitate to expel someone with such abilities."
"You actually know me, it’s indeed an honour for me. But since things have come to this, do you want to keep talking?"
While Du You was talking, he released a Disintegration Spell. Watching Barre casually shattered his spell, Du You’s pupils contracted. Was his Dou Qi priority this high? Barely used any to neutralise it.
"You’re right, since we’re enemies, there’s no need for further small talk."
Lionman Barre stamped his foot, and his whole figure disappeared instantly. He was so quick that Du You barely noted his location, owing to his sharp Spiritual Perception. A fighter whose level is above his own and has the same star level is indeed tricky to handle.
"Lion King Claw." Barre’s voice sounded in Du You’s ears. Almost at the same time, the Shield Spell and the red claws appeared simultaneously. While the magic was shattered, Barre’s attack was also blocked.
Barre’s figure flickered and disappeared again, then reappeared attacking. Du You couldn’t keep up with his attack rhythm and was forced to continuously use his Shield Spell for defense. After all, the Shield Spell was the quickest spell he could cast.
