NABC Chapter 241 Devouring
Chapter 241 Devouring
"Phew... Here we go again."
Li Muyang closed his eyes and re-entered the game.
He loaded the save file, returning once again to the eerie, open-doored office outside the Imperial Astronomical Bureau.
The pitch-black night enveloped the street.
In the midst of the bustling and lively night across the entire Three Rivers City, the street outside the offices of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau was deathly silent, with no one in sight, not even a glimmer of light.
The night sky was shrouded with dark clouds, moonlight absent.
The lanterns hanging on the gate of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau were extinguished; the whole office was engulfed in darkness.
Depending on the night vision ability of his zombie, Li Muyang stepped into the gates of this desolate office.
The empty courtyard showed no sign of human presence, which was extremely odd.
Where were all the Demon Suppression Magi of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau? Where had they gone?
Who killed him last time?
As Li Muyang entered the office, he called out.
"Is anyone there?"
Every step of the process was the same as before.
Even his footsteps were meticulously recreated from the last save file.
Finally, when Li Muyang approached the area where he had died in the previous save, a flash of cold light streaked across, and his head flew off.
It was the exact same way he had died before.
But this time, he was prepared, instantly locking onto the direction from which that flash of cold light had come.
Under the empty eaves, a blood-red health bar silently appeared.
[Demonic Sorcerer]
The moment he saw the dark red health bar, a failure alert popped up in Li Muyang’s vision.
[You have died, game over]
"...A Demonic Sorcerer? Someone from the Imperial Astronomical Bureau?"
Li Muyang slightly furrowed his brow, sensing something was amiss.
In his last glimpse before death, he clearly saw the figure wearing the robes of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau’s magi, yet they bore no name; their health bar ID was like those mass-produced foot-soldiers in games.

Could it be that some calamity of the Evil God had appeared in the bureau? Had the Demon Suppression Magi fallen victim?
Rising from the corpse of the Demonic Sorcerer, Li Muyang walked towards the depths of the government office.
"Is anyone there?"
With the Save-File Divine Skill to protect him, Li Muyang played with no restrictions, not afraid at all of other Demonic Sorcerers jumping out at him.
However, after touring the entire Imperial Astronomy Bureau office, opening every room for inspection, he didn’t see a single Demon Suppression Magus.
There were none alive, and none dead either.
In this office, it seemed that only the initial Demonic Sorcerer had remained, with everyone else having left.
After making a round inside the office, Li Muyang returned to the body of that first Demonic Sorcerer, somewhat surprised.
"Is the office empty?"
This was really strange; with such chaos in the city, and the Demon Suppression Magi not joining in suppressing the rebellion, where could they have gone?
Li Muyang gave a forceful leap, flying straight up to the eaves of the building, and then hopped onto the highest spot of the Imperial Astronomy Bureau’s office, overlooking the entire place.
"Is anyone there?" Li Muyang stood at the highest point of the office and shouted arrogantly, "Is Dan Xiaolian around? The Grand Magician has something to discuss with you!"
Li Muyang was practically wearing the words "courting death" on his forehead, utterly unapologetic.
But after such a boisterous shout, the empty Imperial Astronomy Bureau office remained silent as the grave, with no response whatsoever.
Instead, a piercing swooshing sound suddenly came from the pitch-black night sky.
The next second, a crimson health bar appeared abruptly above Li Muyang’s head.
[Demonic Sorcerer]
It was the same health bar, but the Demonic Sorcerer that leaped from the night had a pair of bat-like flesh wings in place of arms.
On its face were three semicircular fang-like mouthparts, roaring as it lunged at Li Muyang, its cruel and eerie green eyes gleaming.
Li Muyang was startled by the appearance of this monster.
Mostly because this kind of sudden attack, like a ghost popping up, was the type of entrance Li Muyang despised the most.
Angered, he leaped up, not evading the monster at all, but frantically clicking on the "Devour!" skill.
The moment the monster flew towards Li Muyang’s head, his "Devour!" skill was also activated.
Under the night sky, the terrifying howl of the zombie resounded.
"Awooo!"
The leaping zombie precisely bit into the Demonic Sorcerer’s windpipe, and its sharp, stiffened hands, like two swords, viciously plunged into the monster’s chest.
Blood burst above the zombie’s head.
This monster was directly torn into three parts by the rampaging zombie, and the warm blood showered and drenched the zombie.
