Chapter 132 A short break
Most of the Night Chasers successfully retreated into the Eternal Night Realm, but many were also killed along the way by the Sun City forces who had reacted quickly.

But this did not make them very happy, because the subsequent danger was far from over.

The gap in the eternal night virtual world remained there, and an endless stream of light-chasing monsters came towards reality and wreaked havoc everywhere.

The Sun City Guards were fully mobilized, the entire city was under martial law, and monsters were cleared out. At the same time, defenses were urgently set up at the openings of the gaps. As long as a monster appeared, it would be killed with all its might.

Because the sun was shining brightly, everyone present had somewhat forgotten the time and couldn't tell what time it was.

Only when the light of Zhuyang suddenly turned into the orange-red of dusk did they realize that they were about to enter the darkness of the next day.

Fortunately, as night fell, the number of monsters in the Eternal Night Realm decreased sharply, and their aggressiveness also decreased significantly.

They are born in the night, but become lazy in the darkness and are sensitive to light.

It was around this time that the envoys from foreign forces left the front of the defense line one after another and went back to rest after receiving apologies and thanks from the Sun City side.

At this time, Nie Hong was looking around.

"Nie Hong, are you looking for Anti?" Nino next to him saw what Nie Hong was looking for.

Nie Hong was also busy all day and suffered some minor injuries, while Nino barely broke a sweat. Although there were many monsters coming out of the Eternal Night Realm, they were still not strong enough to cause a stir in the inner city of Sun City where so many powerful people were present.

But no one took it lightly, for that was the legendary eternal night, the secrets within it were unknown to anyone, and it was entirely possible that even greater terrors were lurking.

"Well, usually he should take the lead in this kind of thing. It feels a bit strange that I didn't see him." Nie Hong said.

"Daphne said that he went to the bathroom in the middle of the dinner, and soon after that something happened at the core node. Things were in such a mess that no one paid much attention to one person." Nino also nodded.

After saying that, he turned his head and looked at the defense line in the distance that was still fighting against the Eternal Night monsters, his heart heavy.

He had learned about the Eternal Night and the Night Chaser Church from Anti before, and he reported all of this without reservation before being dismissed in the hope of getting other people's attention, but most people just perfunctorily dealt with it and did not take it seriously.

Although this incident resulted in the destruction of the Zhuyang core node, everyone in the conference hall should take it seriously.

If the internal problems are not thoroughly resolved, the new Zhuyang will certainly not be able to be born peacefully.

At this time, Nie Hong suddenly said: "Anti!"

Nino looked in the direction of the sound and saw Anti walking through the crowd like a ghost.

Being called, Anti turned around and looked.

When the two approached, Nie Hong immediately said, "Where have you been? It was really dangerous last night. I thought you went to the bathroom and never came back."

"I just went to pick up some takeout." Anti smoothed his messy hair.

Nie Hong looked puzzled.

Anti showed off the two Eternal Night Crystals in his hand.

Nino and Nie Hong's eyes widened immediately. Nie Hong asked bluntly, "You killed two more branch bishops?"

Although the bishops of the Night Chasers branch are not very powerful characters, as middle-level cadres of the Night Chasers Church, they are definitely not easy for ordinary people to deal with. The night miracles they perform with the Eternal Night Crystal are quite powerful, and if they go all out, they are not inferior to the believers of the Inscribed God.

Of course, the strength of the branch bishops varies and cannot be generalized, but those who have suffered at the hands of Anti have reached a considerable proportion.

Anti put away the crystal and did not answer them. Instead, he said to them, "I saw a lot of people at the main scene, so I went over to take a look and left. What's the situation?"

To be honest, he just went there for the formality and left.

"It was already too late when we rushed there. We heard that one of the four popes of the Church of the Night Chasers had come and had a fierce battle with Kimio. He was only suppressed with the help of Zhuyang. But... in the end, an orc with a big sword came out and almost captured the pope." Nie Hong said.

Anti looked at Nino, who nodded calmly.

Originally, Anti was thinking about explaining it to Nino. After all, among all the people present, Nino was the only one who had actually seen his hunting sword during the nymph incident. After seeing the sword, it should not be difficult to guess the identity of the beast that backstabbed Livnis.

As a result, Nino arrived too late and missed his handsome backstab.

It’s a bit of a pity when you think about it.

As for being exposed, Anti is really caring less and less about it now. At worst, he can just leave. It's just a Sun City.

He only admired Nino unilaterally, and he didn't care much about how Nino looked at him after he knew some of his other sides.

"How's the situation at Sun City?" He changed the subject.

Nino said in a deep voice, "It's not good. It's not that Sun City completely ignored my previous warnings. Moreover, the core node of Zhuyang is a strategic location. They have set up heavy guards these days to prevent possible attacks. But... the appearance of the Night Chaser Pope made all this useless. The Inner City Guards suffered heavy casualties."

"That kind of existence is really outrageous and mind-destroying. If it were on Blue Star, it would be worthy of being featured in a TV special." Nie Hong echoed.

Although Nie Hong's description is a bit abstract, if you think about it carefully, it does reflect the status of the confused believer to a certain extent.

That level, which seemed like awakening into a substitute messenger, according to Anti's vague understanding, was a sense of being close to the wandering god but restraining himself from becoming a wandering god.

The miracles used have largely completely detached from the miracles themselves and turned to a unique understanding of the nature of power.

For ordinary believers, it is an existence that is unattainable and can only be admired.

However, Anti felt okay.

Perhaps it was because he had seen too many wandering gods. Although those he defeated were incomplete or extremely exhausted, there was no doubt that Anti was impressed by their control over their own power.

He is still learning from the Hunter about how to use the Hunting Miracle.

The ash state allows him to directly reach the essential symbol of fire. Although his understanding in this regard is also superficial and difficult to develop more, in any case, judging from this aspect alone, Anti seems to be not much inferior to the confused believers, and may even be better.

Anti's expectation for the level of confused mind is more of a fantasy of himself reaching that level. He wonders what the "substitute" he creates will look like.

I hope to be filled with the aura of invincibility more often.

Anyway, he doesn't want to have a daughter, and he doesn't want to suffer any minor injuries.

Nino invited Anti and Nie Hong to stay at his house for a while. Although he had retired, he still lived in the inner city. In this regard, Sun City was not so cruel as to kick out cadres who had made contributions after retirement.

But just as he was about to leave, a burst of hurried footsteps came quickly.

Before Anti could turn around, "Daphne" grabbed him by the collar.

When you see those night eyes, you know that it is Dinina who is occupying the body at this time.

"You guys have finally compensated for the damages, I suggest you stop adding unnecessary burdens to your family."

Before Dinina could speak, Anti did not try to break free. He just used his height to look down at her with a calm and indifferent look.

Nino and Nie Hong finally saw the night eye in Dinina's right eye, and were immediately surprised.

"sword……"

"You've always wanted to see it, so I guess I've shown it to you now," said Anti.

Dinina gritted her teeth in anger, but still loosened Anti's collar with difficulty.

Anti signaled to Nino and Nie Hong, and the three of them left quickly, leaving Dinina standing there. The dusk was reflected on her, and there were people all around her, but she was very lonely.
