Burning Forest Zone System Notice: Human players have breached the Demon City's defensive magic circle. All demon players in Demon City lose ten Reputation points. Total Contribution Points decrease by three thousand. Demon Power buff decreases by 20%.
Burning Forest Zone System Notice: Demon City has been breached. The controlling guild's fame decreases by five thousand points. All Demon City income is halved for seven natural days. All Demon City quest rewards decreased by 30%.
...
The zone notices rang out across the Burning Forest three times in succession. Though the volume was low, the entire Burning Forest fell into an unprecedented silence.
"Demon City has been breached?"
"Didn't they say even the Ten Sacred Empire's expedition army couldn't take it? How could players breach it?"
"Who did this?"
"Could it be those people the Heart of Demons put a bounty on?"
...
The players grinding and doing quests in the Burning Forest were all dumbfounded by the zone notices. Even some demon players fighting monsters hadn't come back to their senses and were nearly killed by the monsters.
In demon territory, it could be said that aside from the time the Battle Wolf Guild had put pressure on Demon City, no one and no force had ever caused even the slightest disturbance there.
But now not only had Demon City been shaken, its defensive magic circle had been broken—and by human players at that. It was simply unbelievable.
It was as if human players had heard that a kingdom's royal capital had fallen—utterly inconceivable.
Inside Demon City, all the demon players were still stunned, their eyes vacant, as if they were all mechanical puppets.
"Damn it! How did he pull this off? This is a main city-level defensive magic circle!"
Elder Wrathful Heart stared at Shi Feng hovering in midair, his shock beyond words.
He hadn't expected that Shi Feng had actually broken through Demon City's defensive magic circle.
This was something even the great superpowers of the Ten Sacred Empire had failed to accomplish. Those superpowers hadn't even reached Demon City's gates before being blocked in the Burning Forest.
Now, with just Zero Wing—no, with just Shi Feng alone, the Demon City's defensive magic circle had been breached. If anyone said this, who would believe it?
But Shi Feng had done it right before his eyes, and in a single strike no less, shattering a defensive magic circle that only a fifth-tier class could break in one blow...
It was practically a bug!
But for the Main God System to have a bug was impossible. Even if a bug appeared, it wouldn't be this obvious.
However, Elder Wrathful Heart didn't know that in the Divine Realm, every magic circle had its weaknesses—its blind spots. Even magic circles set by ancient gods couldn't avoid this. At best, they could minimize and hide them, making them difficult to discover.
The defensive magic circles of major cities were no exception. They all had nodes where the flow of magical energy was extremely fragile. Ordinary players simply couldn't detect them, and given the vast range of the magic circles, finding the most vulnerable node was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
But Shi Feng was different. He had already been promoted to Intermediate Magic Circle Master. His understanding of magic circles was on an entirely different level from that of ordinary magic circle masters.
