Chapter 478: Purple Demonic Eye

...
The Blood Shadow City was aptly named. It was given this name because of its layout and infrastructure.
Ordinarily, a city would have four gates, one in each direction. Each one would be linked by walls that allowed for better defense.
However, the Blood Shadow City was an exception.
This was a fortress. It should only be viewed from a distance. Anyone foreign and close to it would likely die.
Yet...
There was a youth standing on the walls of the Blood Shadow City. He seemed out of place, looking around in his blue long sleeved shirt.
He was clearly in awe.
To be honest, anyone who could see such an ancient city would be in awe. This ancient fortress covered the entire mountain.
Circular...
A circular wall at the foot of the mountain was the first layer of protection. It surrounded the entire city.
One mile in was another circular wall. However, this wall was more than two meters higher than the one on the perimeter.
The wall was as high as a tree.
But that was not all...
Layers of circular walls continued to surround the city, each one spaced one mile apart. Every layer was two meters higher than the previous one.
”Grand!” The youth looked at the layers of walls behind him and gasped in admiration.
It was no wonder it was known as the Blood Shadow City.
The youth looked at the red flags in the middle of the trees. He really felt like he was surrounded by a sea of red.
Of course, the grandest thing was the 'scar' that he was standing on...
This was a scar that extended from the outermost wall all the way to the center.
The youth was slightly confused as he looked at the scar.
It had clearly been repaired, but...
It seemed to have been done rather half-heartedly. It was not difficult to fully repair the cracks...
Yet, the crack was still visible.
It was extremely attention-grabbing.
”I guess it's a warning to the younger generations...” The youth thought to himself. He could confirm a few things.
First, the Blood Shadow City is built on a mountain. It was not a tall one, but it covered a great amount of space. There were four gates at the outermost wall.
The second layer also had four gates.
However...
They were not aligned with the gates at the first wall. This greatly increased the time required for people to walk into the city.
It was extremely inconvenient.
However, it made for great defense!
There were only two ways this place was defended. First, the people entering could be separated by race. Every race would face different rules when entering the city.
Of course, they could also be separated by castes.
The second possibility was that there were magical formations embedded within the walls.
It could even be a combination of the two.
This would make entry extremely difficult. Not only did you have to follow the 'rules', you had to get past all the guards.
It was no wonder...
The easiest way was to just split the entire city. It would take ages to gain entry via conventional methods.
More importantly, one would find it even more difficult to get out than to get in.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a voice behind him. This voice was filled with shock.
”Freeze, turn around slowly!”
The demon soldiers on guard duty at the perimeter walls were completely shocked to see a youth standing on the wall, admiring the scenery.
Which rural clan was this person from? Is he here to visit?
Doesn't he know the rules of the Blood Shadow City?
The demon soldier gripped his spear tightly. He didn't strike immediately because this person seemed too relaxed, almost as if he was at home here on the wall.
This caused him to take extra precaution.
At that moment, the youth turned around, his lips twitching in displeasure.
The demon soldier loosened his grip on the spear.
He saw that there was a glittering demonic eye on the youth's forehead. That meant that this youth was definitely a demon.
However...
His demonic eye was weird.
Hang on...
Purple... purple demonic eye?!
The soldier was stunned. He had been stationed here for decades and seen many strange things.
However, he never felt like vomiting blood as much as he did today.
”Spy, spy! Catch... catch the intruder!” The demon soldier stammered. He didn't feel any satisfaction when he recognized this youth as an intruder.
After all, there was no such thing as a purple demonic eye.
As such, this intruder...
Was plain dumb!
That was the first thought that flashed through his mind. Then, he felt the world spinning, almost as if he had been knocked in the back of the head.
He turned around and saw a figure standing behind him.
This was a man in black clothes. His jaw was sharp and he had a demonic eye on his forehead, a red one.
Most importantly, he held a black metal pole in his hand.
”How dare this guy... impersonate a Rebirth State...” The demon soldier was furious, but he crumpled to the ground as the world around him turned black.
