- Chapter 945 - 945 519 Unemployment and Distribution
Chapter 945: Chapter 519: Unemployment and Distribution Chapter 945: Chapter 519: Unemployment and Distribution “Hey, God Possession? Let’s see how many of my swords your god can handle!” A voice rang out, and Radiad shook violently. The defenses on his body shattered like bubbles, layers upon layers, the powerful impact sending him plummeting downwards.
Accompanying the rush of sword light was a human overflowing with Battle Qi. It was that guy who had been curiously sizing him up while chewing on jerky.
This human’s hands condensed a light of sword, and his Energy Sword fiercely slashed down like a giant axe upon his shield.
Radiad’s shield had already been broken through three layers, and this opponent immediately recognized his God Possession, even confidently uttering the words ‘Let’s see how many of my swords your god can handle,’ sounding utterly confident.
The next moment, the sword light greatly intensified!
Why do they say that when a High-level Swordsaint gets close, a regular Mage is but a lamb waiting for slaughter? Because the Swordsaint’s speed is too fast. Before the Mage can even react, the Swordsaint can launch dozens of strikes, destroying all defenses.
The Swordsaints, who were originally standing with Luther, responded the quickest, shouting as they flew towards them, but it was already too late.
Luther pressed down on Radiad, unleashing over thirty strikes in one breath upon his body. The first ten strikes had already broken through all his defenses, and the subsequent strikes were purely challenging the descending god.
But no matter what god descended, the projected power ultimately couldn’t withstand the frenzied hacking and slashing of a true Sword of Truth, as Luther’s final strike blasted it out of the body, causing the phantom to burst apart.
Luther sheathed his sword, lunged forward, and grabbed Radiad’s throat in one swift movement. Battle Qi surged into his body, rapidly immobilizing him while also grabbing his wrist and twisting it backward. Under the pain, Radiad’s face contorted.
Luther turned his body and positioned Radiad in front of him as they both plummeted towards the ground.
From Luther’s explosive movement to now, only three seconds had passed. Lainas finally reacted, roaring, “Durken! What are you doing?”
Luther’s arrogant voice carried from afar, “Hahaha, I’m not Durken, you fool; I’m Piero! If you want him to live, don’t mess around!”
The sudden turn of events also shocked Ange and the others on the ground. Anthony’s eyes brightened considerably, pulling the distant image closer. Once he saw clearly, he immediately exclaimed, “It’s Luther!”
“Luther? How is that possible? How did he mix into Lainas’s side? He has no identity at all, a nameless person; how could he have infiltrated them? Don’t the Sorcerer Alliance check who they recruit? Could he have been captured? Feiti, get ready for a rescue!” Negris shouted in shock.
“Uh, seems like we don’t need to; he’s taken control of the situation, he’s broken out, he’s subdued the Godmaking Sorcerer, and he’s falling toward the ground, Feiti, get ready to catch,” Anthony rapidly described, then burst out laughing:
“Kvada, he’s impersonating me, he says his name isn’t Durken, it’s Piero, this bastard!”
Grey exclaimed in shock, “Durken? Our Swordsman in the guild? Why would he impersonate Durken?”
Feiti, wrapped in vines like a ‘vine man,’ jumped out, giving Luther quite a scare.
“It’s me, Feiti,” Feiti quickly said.
“Oh, it’s Lord Feiti, you scared me! Why are you wrapped up like this? Are you injured?” Luther asked concernedly.
Feiti gave him a boost, steadying his rapidly descending form and easing them both down to the ground, while saying, “No, this is a new fashion style, do you like it?”
Luther rolled his eyes, “Nice, my foot.”
Everyone gathered around, and Negris asked with concern, “Luther, how did you end up with them? Are you all right? You’re not hurt, are you?”
At that, Luther became full of grievances, “Lord Negris, you have the nerve to ask? It was you guys who left me in Magic Star City.”
Negris awkwardly mumbled, “Well… uh…”
Anthony quickly smoothed things over, saying without changing his expression, “We noticed it as soon as we teleported back, but too many things had happened, and there was no time to find you. Besides, we believe in your strength, you definitely wouldn’t have had any troubles.”
Grey, Duroken, and the others who had just heard their conversation couldn’t help but turn their heads away, struggling not to burst out laughing. What did he mean they noticed it as soon as they teleported back? They had only realized it when they tried to send Luther just a moment ago.
“Exactly, exactly, we believe in your strength. Look, you safely returned and even captured an enemy VIP. Great job, Luther, you’re really impressive,” Negris praised extravagantly, then quickly changed the subject, “How did you infiltrate? Does the Sorcerer Alliance recruit without checking identities?”
“They did check. I used the name Darlat,” Luther replied. “Remember the Magic Power crystal card Grey gave me? After you left, Magic Star City immediately went under martial law. Wizards were patrolling everywhere, and it became difficult to leave, so I hid in a True Research Group hideout.”
The personnel of the True Research Group had mostly scattered, and there were few people left at the hideout, but basic services were still maintained, such as the cafeteria and the bath and laundry house.
After hiding there for a few days, Luther realized that the relationships among the people there were not very close. Many didn’t know each other, especially under the current circumstances where many different powers had infiltrated, they knew each other even less.
Luther became bolder, strutting in and out of the cafeteria and bathhouse, using Grey’s Magic Power crystal card to eat and drink for free, and even picked an unoccupied room to live in.
A few days later, someone knocked on the door: “Unemployment registration: name, age, occupation, level, work interest, do you want to be assigned? If you choose to be assigned, we will provide corresponding vocational training based on your work interest. Are you willing to accept?”
“Unemployment that includes allocation? Is such a good thing really happening? Oh, I’m Darlat,” Luther glanced at a card on the bedside table. This empty room belonged to Darlat, but when he moved in, the bed was already covered in dust.
The registrar said irritably, “Of course, did you think we’d let you eat and drink for free? Hiss—Swordsman, Early Stage Swordsaint? You can externalize your Battle Qi. Demonstrate it, if it’s true, you’ll immediately get a suitable job opportunity.”

Luther cooperatively demonstrated the Battle Qi externalization of an Early Stage Swordsaint, but he concealed the High-level Swordsaint’s Energy Sword.
The registrar immediately fetched a roster, looked up the name Darlat, and said doubtfully, “It clearly states here that you are a High-level Sword Fighter?”
Luther said calmly, “How many years ago was that? I’ve broken through.”
“Your breakthrough speed is quite fast; you’re really talented,” the registrar said, surprised.
It was just mealtime, so they conveniently went to the cafeteria for a meal. Seeing Luther joking familiarly with the cafeteria’s aunty and using the True Research Group’s Magic Power crystal card, the registrar asked no further questions.
These Magic Power crystal cards were difficult to forge, because they were magic power validated. Grey had authenticated such a card for him in advance to make it easier for him to gather information.
“There’s actually a job opportunity now. A bigwig from the Sorcerer Alliance is hiring bodyguards. Normally these VIPs are very stringent about hiring bodyguards: ordinary people can’t get in. But now, this VIP seems a bit scared and is urgently recruiting a batch of Sword Saints to handle his outer security. The pay is very good. Are you interested?”
Luther scoffed, “Just a meat shield and expendable, right? Outer security? What’s the pay?”
“Ten Demon Crystals a day.”
“Serving the VIP is an honor for me, Darlat. I really love being a bodyguard. Count me in,” Luther immediately thumped his chest and replied.
This is how Luther infiltrated Lainas’s bodyguard team, but Lainas was cautious with these temporarily recruited guards, assigning them to the outer airships, which normally prevented them from getting close to him.
Left with no choice, Luther had to focus on the noticeably tougher target, Radiad. He even chewed on dried beetroot jerky, briefly boosting his Battle Qi to the brink of the true limit.
When a Sword of Truth burst forth with full power, even if only for a few seconds, it was enough to change the whole situation.
“Luther, you’re truly great. We were still wondering how to capture the enemy’s higher-ups, and you did it alone, well done,” Anthony praised. Then he turned to the God of Life, “Lord God of Life, raise them up, let the other side see them, and then warn them.”
“People of the Sorcerer Alliance, listen, you have one of your twelve councilmen in our hands. Put down… ah crap, if you don’t want him harmed, leave immediately and come negotiate with us with a ransom, or else we’ll tear up the ticket.”
