Chapter 310: [K]

As the ballad faded, the aurora had already gathered into a sea.

Chu Muyun looked at Jian Changsheng, who was walking over with red eyes, knowing he had finished saying goodbye to his family, and turned slowly to look into the distance.

"...They are here."

At the end of the road, two figures also dressed in black suits were approaching... They held black umbrellas, their faces obscured, but a corner of the playing card on their chests could be seen.

【8】，【10】

"Huh? There are four people this time?" [8] asked in surprise.

Chen Ling raised an eyebrow. He tried to see [8]'s face; after all, this voice sounded very young, perhaps even... immature?

"It's the two newcomers with the 6, right?" [10] saw the card on Chen Ling's chest at a glance and answered calmly.

As the two drew closer, Chen Ling finally saw their faces. [10] was a middle-aged man, looking steady and deep, though the suit couldn't be determined by the number alone... But [8] beside him truly surprised Chen Ling.

"You... you're a kid?" Jian Changsheng couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw [8]'s youthful, boyish face.

Looking at his face, he seemed to be only fifteen or sixteen? Even a few years younger than Jian Changsheng.

[8]'s face darkened instantly. He rolled his eyes. "...What kind of way is that to talk? Do you know how to respect your seniors?"

Jian Changsheng shut his mouth immediately. He looked at the boy suspiciously; no matter how he looked at it, he didn't fit the word "senior." But he was a newcomer after all, so it was best to stand quietly in the back for now.

Just as they were talking, two more figures walked over from the left street. Seeing the two newcomers standing next to Chu Muyun, their eyes lit up.

"Are these the two newcomers with the 6?" [9] asked curiously. "Which one is Heart?"

"...Me." Chen Ling responded.

[9] immediately walked up and shook his hand. "This is my first time touching a 'World-Ender'... don't you dare kill me the next time you go crazy."

Chen Ling: ???

"And this must be the famous [Spade 6]?" [9] turned and shook Jian Changsheng's hand. "I've read the papers, kid, your entrance was quite stylish... remember to teach me next time."

Jian Changsheng: ...

"Alright, be quiet." Chu Muyun couldn't help but speak up when he saw [9]'s crazy behavior.

"Yo, 'Corpse-Shatterer' Chu is here too? Long time no see..."

“……”

"She's here."

Someone said, and everyone immediately fell silent.

They looked in the same direction simultaneously and saw a woman in black walking slowly through the flying snow at the end of the road... A white character was clearly visible on her chest.

——【K】。

Chen Ling's pupils contracted slightly when he saw the card on her chest... The Twilight Society's cards were arranged in the order of joining, and [K] was the highest card besides the Jokers. In other words, this woman's status was only below the Red King and the Gray King?

Was she the one who chanted the Requiem just now?

As [K] walked over with her umbrella, the people who had been chatting were already standing respectfully in place, not saying a word. Her gaze swept over everyone, finally stopping on Chen Ling.

She just looked at Chen Ling quietly for a long time before slowly moving her gaze away.

"Are all those in the Aurora Boundary here?"

"Yes, except for those who couldn't get away or were too far from the Aurora Boundary, all other members who could come are here." Bai Ye's voice was uncharacteristically serious. Here, besides [K], he had the highest card.

The woman nodded and turned to walk toward the city wall.

"There's a problem over there... let's hurry."

"Yes."

Led by the woman, the others held their umbrellas and walked in the same direction.

"Where are we going?" Jian Changsheng asked Chu Muyun in a low voice as he walked in the back.

Chu Muyun looked toward the city wall.

"To recover the Aurora Lord."

……

Boom—!!!

An earth-shattering explosion came from the Forbidden Sea. Dense figures of incantations surged like a tide, surrounding a certain direction!

Tan Xin held the "Hand of Redemption" in one hand, the Aurora Lord's corpse on his back, running rapidly toward the city wall. His black Law Enforcer trench coat danced wildly in the cold wave!

Hoarse, strange roars came from all directions. Every step Tan Xin took, a large number of Calamities blocked his path. He had to fully expand [Stop the War] to strip those figures of their power and suppress them beneath the sea.

He carved a path through the Forbidden Sea with sheer force!

Just as he got closer and closer to Aurora City, the massive, hidden shadows deep within the Forbidden Sea moved. They stirred up overwhelming giant waves that instantly obscured the sky, crashing down toward Tan Xin's position!

Thud—!

Two Tier-8 Calamities crashed around Tan Xin like meteorites. The rolling air waves spread in all directions. Tan Xin's pupils contracted slightly, and he narrowly avoided their attacks, continuing to sprint toward the city gate.

Even though his domain could suppress two Calamities, he was carrying the Aurora Lord and couldn't fight head-on, so he had to find a way to get out of the battlefield as quickly as possible.

"Damn it... they were all hiding from the Aurora Lord before, now that he's dead, they can't hold back anymore?"

Sweat slid down Tan Xin's temples and quickly froze into ice. His eyes, emitting a faint green light, scanned the surroundings rapidly. His figure moved like a ghost, dodging and weaving through the Calamities, but at the same time, his physical strength was being consumed rapidly.

[Stop the War] was not a path good at attacking. With two Tier-8s blocking the road, it wasn't easy for him to break through, not to mention that several more giant shadows were approaching rapidly from the back of the Forbidden Sea.

Just as Tan Xin's strength was about to be exhausted, a dull, thunderous sound like a bell toll rang out from the city gate!

Clang—!!

At this moment, the movements of the surrounding Calamities all slowed down. A black afterimage streaked across the sky like a meteor, precisely slashing the shoulder of one of the Tier-8 Calamities and cutting it down lightly...

It wasn't until the black afterimage shattered several Calamity figures in succession and thrust into the ground before Tan Xin that he saw what it was.

It was a black [Club K].

Tan Xin, while running, seemed to think of something and looked up abruptly toward the city gate!

Black snowflakes flew amidst the ruins.

Nine figures in black suits, holding black umbrellas, walked slowly from within the city...
