The Return of the Sword God

Sensations Caused By Death

Mayor Cross's furious roar echoed throughout the City Hall.

At high speed, Cross instantly arrived in front of Shi Feng, his fists stretched out toward Shi Feng.

The other players were currently enjoying Shi Fengs misfortune, taking the opportunity to gauge Mayor Cross's strength.

Cross was a Level 15 Elite, and a single slap from him was enough to knock the current player dead. However, Shi Feng was stupid to the point of angering the mayor. There was not a single person in the entire Red Leaf Town who could save him now. He would be imprisoned until he was on his deathbed or he would be expelled from Red Leaf Town.

However, Shi Fengs surprisingly calm demeanor bewildered the other players. Is he ready to face death?

When Cross was about to hit Shi Feng, the silent Shi Feng finally made a move. Like a hunter waiting for his prey, Shi Feng immediately unsheathed his Beginner Sword. With a quick movement, he used the sword to defend his body.

The peng!

Cross's fist landed on the Beginner Sword, making Shi Fengs entire body fly. Just as Shi Feng was about to fall, he turned his body, landing steadily on the ground with the flexibility of a cat. However, his HP instantly decreased by 84, and the Beginner Sword in his grasp trembled uncontrollably. The durability of the sword was even reduced by 1 point; the weapon would become useless once its durability dropped to 0.

And......

All the players took cold breaths.

Looking at Shi Fengs matter, they had originally thought of him as a mere novice. However, after Shi Fengs recent appearance, anyone with a sharp look could tell that he was a highly skilled person. Although Cross had low physical damage as a mage, as a Level 15 Elite, he was still able to kill any current player in a single strike. However, Shi Feng was still alive. He had used his weapon to block the attack, reducing its damage to a minimum.

“He is obviously a magician, but his strength and speed are really surprising.” Shi Feng was secretly amazed as he looked at the wailing Beginner Sword in his grasp. Fortunately, he had added all of his points to Agility, increasing his Attack Speed to 4. Otherwise, he would have been dead by now, having to start his Quest from scratch again.

“Death, insect!”

After failing in his attack, Cross grew even more furious. Suddenly, his clothes were torn apart, revealing a body covered in pitch-black fur; cross had turned into a Wolf Man with sharp fangs.

Every player was shocked at this moment. They would never have thought the mayor was an evil Wolf Man.

Cross arrived at Shi Fengs back in an instant, lifting his snowy claws and shaking them to Shi Fengs heart.

However, Shi Feng revealed a cold smile, even though he only had 16 HP left.

Cross's claws suddenly stopped; they were only a few centimeters away from dealing with Shi Feng. Unfortunately, Cross was exposed to a Level 25 [Charge] Guard, entering a Fainted state for 1 second.

Shi Feng took this opportunity to immediately move away.

Just when Cross was about to attack Shi Feng after waking up, he was interrupted once again by another Guard.

Those two Guards were Level 25 Warriors. Although none of them were Elites, the damage they caused was relatively high. A Charge, coupled with a normal attack, quickly eliminated 300 HP from Cross. The two Guards had eliminated a total of 600 HP, causing the HP Cross to drop to 1700 in an instant.

“As expected of the Guards, their attack power is really high.” Shi Feng chuckled as he looked at Cross's miserable state.

The guards are the protectors of the city. They specialize in protecting the city's civilians and fighting the invasion of evil creatures. Currently, the mayor had turned into a Wolf Man; proof that he was not a human, but a spy of evil forces. The guards would naturally not let him go, killing him as if he was no different from a monster in the wild.

On the surface, Sherlock's demand requirements appear harsh. But in reality, players only need to actively attack the mayor, then survive the mayor's first attack. After it went well. The Guards will take care of the rest after the mayor reveals his identity.

In Shi Fengs previous life, the reason this Unique Quest could shock the entire White River City, was because the Mayor was a spy of an evil force. These quests allowed players to have a new perspective towards Gods Domain; NPCs were not entirely reliable, as they might be one of the evil forces in disguise.

Simultaneously, the player who completed the Quest had shocked everyone with his method of baiting the Mayor. The player has racked his brain to complete the Quest and, of course, he wants to show off his efforts by revealing his strategy. Now, however, it was taken advantage of by Shi Feng.

Because of this, Cross is now attacked by two Guards. Although the damage inflicted by the Guards was extremely high, Cross' target never shifted away from Shi Feng. He continuously aimed to kill Shi Feng but, unfortunately for him, the two Guards stuck to him like glue. One of the Guardians used the [Bone Crusher], while the other used the [Thundering Strike], causing the Cross Movement Speed to drop drastically. Fortunately, Shi Feng could escape death with 5 points of his Movement Speed.

Just like that, over 2000 HP Cross was almost depleted.

When other players see Cross dying, many of them start to fidget; they want to make a final attack on the mayor. They did not understand why the Guards were attacking Cross, not Shi Feng, but rather the Mayor who was also a Level 15 Elite.

Is the mayor someone they can think of? Although the mayor had become one of the evil forces, this was only part of the Quest plot. In the eyes of the other players, the mayor was still in a Friendly condition; it was impossible to attack the mayor at all.

When Cross only had 100 HP left, all the other players started moving. Everyone rushed to Mayor Cross. They all wanted to give a final strike, snatching away the fallen items.

Seeing that Cross was only a single blow away from the door of death, Shi Feng dashed out.

Unfortunately, Cross ultimately remains dead under the Guard's sword. Not a single player was able to attack Cross. Although Shi Feng could attack, he was unwilling to take the risk. After the mayor died, he immediately took out the [Mayors Coat] and disappeared into the crowd.

NPCs within the city would not produce any EXP or loot if killed. Shi Feng would not even be able to obtain the Mayor's Coat of Arms if it wasn't for a Quest.

"Omong empty! System bugged! Why can't I attack the mayor?”

“I want to complain! Why didn't the mayor drop anything after death?”

Some novice players complain in annoyance. Level 15 elites had died before their eyes, yet they did not gain a single advantage; they could not accept it.

"Stupid. Did you know that you have friendly relations with NPCs? Players were unable to attack NPCs who had friendly relations. If you don't even know such common knowledge, why bother playing Gods Domain?”

After ridiculing the newbies, the competent players searched for traces of Shi Feng. A player who could kill the Mayor in such a way must be an expert, someone they should hang out with. However, they were unable to find Shi Feng, even after searching for a long time. They don't know his name either. They secretly felt pity.

Meanwhile, news of Mayor Cross's death spread throughout Red Leaf Village, causing a sensation among all players.

In this phase of the game, where players were still worried about how to grind monsters to reach Level, the city leader was toyed to death with such simplicity. This is too shocking!

Not even thirty minutes since the opening of Gods Domain, a news series appeared on the official website forum.

Mysterious Swordsman Killed Level 15 Elite, Red Leaf Mayor. The leader of a city was actually a Wolf Man in disguise. What kind of game was Gods Domain?

This news series instantly caused a sensation among the players. It only took a while until the number of clicks on the page surpassed ten million. Everyone became interested in this mysterious Swordsman. Unfortunately, they were unable to contact the person because no one knew his name.

Right now, Shi Feng had already reached the dark alley.

“Mr Sherlock, this is the Mayor's Coat of Arms you requested.” Shi Feng gave the silver Mayor's Coat of Arms to the beggar, Sherlock.

With the completion of the Quest, bad news came to players who had received the Quest and to those who were currently trying to receive it from the mayor. This is because Cross won't respawn. They would have no place to submit their Quest even if it was completed. Red Leaf Town also no longer had a mayor, although Shi Feng did not care much about it.

"thank you. Thank you very much. I finally got revenge for my friend. These things should help you.”

Sherlock gave Shi Feng a small, delicate box. Next, Sherlock takes the Mayor's Coat of Arms and leaves a dark alley.

System: Unique Quest “Request Sherlock” finished. Reward 2000 EXP, 20 Free Mastery Points, 1 [Fancy Ornament Box].

With the sound of “Hua”, Shi Feng became Level 1, and he was only 1000 EXP away from Level 2. Shi Fengs level became top of Red Leaf Town, just thirty minutes after the start of Gods Domain. Under normal circumstances, an average player would need 1000 EXP to rise to Level 1. Such an amount required at least six or seven hours of monster grinding, as each Level 0 monster only provided 3 EXP. Time was also required to search for monsters, recover, and so on. Considering the sheer number of players at the start of the game fighting over monsters, taking over ten hours to reach Level 1 could be considered average.

“Why is the Unique Quest prize so big? Is it because I finished it at Level 0?” Shi Feng became a little hesitant but he was still happy with such a reward.

In his previous life, the gifts given were not that luxurious. Although the amount of EXP was the same, the amount of his Free Mastery Points was not. The other person only received 10 points for it, as well as the Fine Ornament Box, while Shi Feng received 20 points and the Luxury Ornament Box.

Free Mastery Points were extremely valuable in Gods Domain. Quests rarely give 3 to 5 points. This Unique Quest had given 20 points.

“Hopefully this did not disappoint me. Although this is not a Fine Ornament Box, it is still a better Luxury Ornament Box. It should be out.” Shi Feng carefully held the Ornament box, a nervous gulp coming out of his throat. Slowly, he opened the box.

Although the EXP and Free Mastery Points were excellent, what Shi Feng actually wanted was an item inside the Ornament Box. It was an important item he needed to complete the leveling plan and make his money. It was also a top-tier item that made many experts drool. Shi Feng would cry to death if something went wrong.
