I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot

Chapter 1242: 18.80 First Grey Star - Barbarian Tribe

Humans can only run and wait for their fate, confronting a tragedy ahead of them; as feared, practically everyone was on the run in the face of the avalanche. The ground was rumbling, an untamed air mixed with frost, and suddenly rolling waves of snow from the crest of the frozen glaciers had fallen over them.

”Ah!! Avalanche!!! Itʼs falling on us!”

”Save me. I donʼt want to die!”

”Run! As far as you can!”

”This canʼt be. How can there be such a disaster at this moment?”

Doctor Guang had gone to where his employer was, and Doctor Hei had followed closely behind him as if he were never frightened of death. Lu Shang and Leica have tried to save as much as they can, and Lu Ming and Mo Yuhan have boldly backed them. Su Jin and Ji Yoonjun have chosen not to run around and to stay with their group of people.

Doctor Guang clung to his bossʼs legs and said, ”Boss, save me!!”

”Let go,” Mo Xuejing said with a disgusted expression on his face, but he wasnʼt panicking at all. His husband is beside him after all.

With a narrowed gaze, Ye Jieye studied the creeping monster around the glaciers. This was also the reason the avalanche suddenly caught them off guard.

Hmp!

”Gather behind us! Donʼt run around!” Ye Jieye commanded.

Hearing his order, the others went to his side without hesitation; Lu Shang, Leica, and the four children all ran to Ye Jieyeʼs location, thinking that Ye Jieye could save them. With the crowd gathering behind them, Mo Xuejing spoke before his beloved moved.

”AʼYe, donʼt burn the whole place, just the snow. Grandpa will cry if you burn everything.”

Ye Jieyeʼs lips quirked for a moment, but remember these words: he summons a small black flame above his hand and directs it toward the approaching waves of snow. In the meantime, they felt the temperature rise as soon as the black flame appeared, and within five meters, the black flames melted, shocking everyone.

Achoo!

Doctor Guang complained, ”Ah~ hot. Hot. Itʼs so hot. What the hell is happening!?”

”A black flame,” mumbled Doctor Hei.

Mo Yuhan said while trying to peel off his winter coat, ”Why does it feel as if the sun has descended!?”

”Look at the effects of Big Brother Yeʼs flame!” Lu Ming stuttered as he pointed towards the avalanche coming closer to them.

They see with their own eyes the white, heavy snow immediately melting—no, it evaporates, leaving only a thin mist behind—as Ye Jieye swipes the black flame, thin as ice, and throws it toward the approaching avalanche.

Doctor Guang commented upon witnessing the whole avalanche melt into nothing. ”What the... is this something a human can do!? Are you sure he isnʼt a god or something!?”

”Maybe he is truly a god,” Doctor Hei mumbles.

The scene left everyone stunned, with the exception of Lu Shang, Leica, and Mo Xuejing. Only God could have caused a human to melt the cascading disaster above their heads, so everyone was flabbergasted. Suddenly, this godlike guy was gripped at the waist by his sweetheart.

Ow. Ow.

Ye Jieye said, ”D-Darling, I can... explain! That wasnʼt on purpose. Moreover, only one glacier was melted. There are more! Hoss!!”

”I told you not to burn it, AʼYe~,” Mo Xuejing said.

Ye Jieye said, ”Thatʼs beyond my control. The snow was so thick that I forgot to hold back a little. Ow.”

”Hmp! If you melt more glaciers, you can only sleep in the living room when we get home,” Mo Xuejing stated.

Frightened, Ye Jieye vowed to take care of the land and not discriminately destroy anything.

”I will be careful. I will not do anything like that anymore!” Ye Jieye said.

Mo Xuejing said, ”You also canʼt kill that.”

”But that thing wanted to bury us alive; beating it up should be allowed,” Ye Jieye said.

Mo Xuejing thought for a moment and nodded his head. ”As long as itʼs not dead, everything is alright.”

They had just set up camp and Mo Xuejing was keeping an eye on them during the snowstorm, so at least they would not have to suffer directly from being hit by this snowstorm; however, the group was about to venture farther into the area when the snowstorm struck the danger zone once more, and they could not move much in this bad weather. Their hunting was once again put on hold in this cold hell.

Outside the Capital City, at the Barbarian Tribes territory...

A bird descended with a letter tied to its foot, addressed to the barbarian king seated on the throne of animal bones. This is a special message from Heavenly Guardian Yi Kun. The letterʼs contents, predictably, excited the Barbarian King. This backward tribe enjoys intimidating contemporary hunters. It detested the Heavenly Guardians second, after the royal family.

As for their relationship, they were only useful to each other—the former for its greed, the latter for its war and retaliation—after all, barbarians are a vicious tribe.

Upon reading the message, the Barbarian King gripped the neck of the messenger bird, which then let out a loud cry, seemingly calling forth the rest of its tribe. This tribe is not only more primitive than any human, but also more muscular than any adult human, with proportions double that of an adult human.

”Itʼs time to take revenge!”

”Revenge! Kill all the normals!”

”Kill! War! Kill! All!”

The Barbarian King declared, ”Letʼs bathe the capital city with blood!”

WOAHHH!!

The Barbarian Tribe moved, bringing just their weapon with them to battle, and they did not need to spend time to satisfy their need for blood and battle. All they had to do was pick up their weapons and begin the war against the citizens of the capital.

---

The only difference from before was that the haughty nobles from the noble faction could rarely be seen in the market because a decree from the king said to sell their goods to the then-noble faction at five times the original price. The knights patrolling were replaced by the people who worked directly under King Xingmo, and they would not hesitate to kill those who broke the decree of the king.

In other words, the capital city is still peaceful today, even after the regaining king was replaced.

The Noble Faction is losing more money than they usually do as time goes on. Despite their desire to defend themselves, they are unable to oppose the men King Xingmo had stationed in the citizenʼs area; furthermore, they are unable to do so without the guidance of Heavenly Guardian Yi Kun, the leader of their faction.

At some stores, a regular commotion happens every day, and today is not that different.

”I remember you! You are a servant of the Du Clan, the one from the Noble Faction. The decree must be followed if you want to buy fruits. You must pay five times the original price. A basket of apples costs 200. You must pay me 1000 for it!”

”You blackhearted seller! These are just apples. There are only six in the basket, and you want me to pay a thousand. Are you crazy!?”

”Hmp! The decree of the current king. Pay or not buy it! Iʼm calling the knights if you wonʼt pay!”

”KNIGHT GUARDS! THERE IS SOMEONE FROM THE NOBLE FACTION NOT PAYING HERE!!!”

After that shout, a group of burly-looking knights emerged from the market and surrounded the Du Clan servant. The Du Clan butler shuddered at the sound of these ferocious knights, and he crept into this side of the market, assuming that no knights were present because his master would not pay five times the original price for anything they wanted to buy.

Who would have thought that this foolish seller would remember him?

When he realized he could not negotiate a better price, the butler threw the money on the ground. Despite his anger, he paid the 1,000 requested and fled, not wanting to be apprehended by these knights because he had heard stories of how the people they captured ended up with us. Death is worse than beasts, even if there is not even a funeral to mourn.

Since the buyer had paid, the knights once again scattered, blending into the market as regular guards. This kind of scene happens in all stores; some are caught, and some run away after seeing these knights. Right now, the Noble Faction is no different from a rat hated by everybody.

The fruit seller picked up the money with delight, realizing that she had scored a deal after selling those fruits five times the original.

These peaceful days remain unknown to them: a new group of powerful enemies will be entering the capital soon and will start a bloody war within the city.

---

The barbarians began to move, and as soon as they showed up at the cityʼs borders, Heavenly Guardian Yi Kun and his group welcomed them. The barbarians were not stupid; in addition to war and bloodshed, they desired food, which Heavenly Guardian Yi Kun provided as payment.

The Barbarian King saw the other hunters from his side look at this tribe with contempt, and the Barbarian King realized that those eyes responded with sarcastic laughter and contemptuous eyes. The Barbarian Kingʼs territory was not far from the capital city. In fact, given how close they were, they could be considered neighbors.

Heavenly Guardian Yi Kun controlled his expression well and welcomed the barbarians with a smile.

”Welcome! I hope you fulfill the oath we made. Help me destroy the capital city, and all the food in there will be yours.”

”Crazy human! I will fulfill my side of the oath. If you betray the oath, this king will kill you as well!” The Barbarian King declared.

A hunter from Heavenly Guardian Yi Kunʼs side mumbles with disdain, ”Tsk! Brainless Barbarians~.”

What this man failed to realize is that, despite their common appearance and lack of elemental abilities like the hunters, the barbarians have remarkable physical characteristics: steel-like skin, firm muscles, keen hearing, and smell. To these barbarians, even a whisper is equivalent to having these words whispered right into their ears.

Enraged, the Barbarian King raised his massive axe, and with a single blow the man who had insulted his tribe was instantly decapitated—something Heavenly Guardian Yi Kun had not anticipated to happen—as one blow could easily take out a senior hunter such as the one who had been killed moments ago.

”Us, Barbarians arenʼt brainless! Weak humans~”

The smell of fresh blood wafts through the air, and those on the side of Heavenly Guardian Yi Kun bathe in their comradeʼs blood. The other hunters and knights were about to retaliate, and the barbarians cast scornful glances and sly smiles at them, clearly sneering down at the scrawny human hunters.

”My Lord!”

Heavenly Guardian Yi Kun commanded, ”Back off.”

”But my lord, they kill...”

”I ordered you to back off now!” Heavenly Guardian Yi Kun shouted, making all his people step down with ugly looks.

When the human lord showed this reaction, the Barbarian King looked down on Heavenly Guardian Yi Kun, thinking, ”This human who can not even protect his people is too useless in his proud eyes.” However, what the Barbarian King did not realize was that beneath Heavenly Guardian Yi Kunʼs composed demeanor was a murderous intent that had already decided to wipe out this barbaric tribe after using them.

”Forgive my menʼs reactions. I hope the Barbarian King fulfills our oath and attacks the great clans of the capital city. We will support you from behind.”

”Weak and useless ones arenʼt needed. We will do it for you. Prepare the reward as expected; if not, you will become our next prey!” The Barbarian King said. ”Show the way to our temporary camp. We will attack as soon as the sun sets.”

The conflict will start as soon as the sun sets, and Heavenly Guardian Yi Kun escorted the secret tunnel that leads to his domain and concealed the barbarians until nightfall.
