Thorne had been sparring with the Holy Spirits for almost half a month. During this time, there were more than 10 Holy Spirits that he had taken a liking to.
His liking could also be said to be anticipation. As long as these 10 Holy Spirits were given enough time to grow and nurture, they would grow to the point where he would feel threatened.
Sweeping Cloud was one of them. Zhao Mingwei was also one of them. Caramel, who had come to challenge him, was also one of them.
However, the power of the God-Eater God alone was too much for these Holy Spirits. Thorne knew that the God-Eater God was currently incomplete, and the power of the Holy Spirits was limited. If they wanted to grow further, apart from making the Godhood of the God-Eater God more complete, they had to accept other powers.
The power of Annihilation was a good choice.
"Are you interested in joining the Annihilation Legion?" Thorne suddenly asked as he watched Caramel walk into the arena.
Thorne's question made Jiang Qiao, who was drinking a carbonated beverage while watching the match, spit it out.
Behind Jiang Qiao, Zhao Mingwei, who was curled up in a corner of the Blossoming Flower Square and dozing off, suddenly opened his eyes the moment he heard the words' Annihilation Legion '. He raised his head and scanned the Blossoming Flower Square like a ferocious tiger.
Zhao Mingwei's definition of the Annihilation Legion was not as simple as a monster in a game. Zhao Mingwei, who would usually laugh no matter what kind of strong opponent he challenged in the Holy Spirit World, had a serious expression when facing the Annihilation Legion. The only thing missing was the killing intent written on his face.
Zhao Mingwei woke up and stood up from the corner. He frowned as he looked at Caramel, who was talking to Thorne in the distance.
"Annihilation Legion?
Isn't that a monster that specializes in hunting in the Abyss?
And there's a hidden mission to join the Annihilation Legion? "
Caramel was also a little confused by Thorne's recruitment request.
He just wanted to fight a few rounds with Thorne as soon as there were more people in the Blossoming Flower Square. If he lost to Thorne, he would have to use up more than just a challenge ticket.
The Blossom Square would officially open at ten o 'clock. When the time came, it wouldn't just be players, but also a group of old men and esports fans from all over the upper city. When that time came, Caramel would lose to Thorne, and her reputation would truly be ruined.
However, as Jiang Qiao listened, he really wanted to block out Thorne's words.
Sorry, dear, this game doesn't support joining the Annihilation Legion camp.
Jiang Qiao could allow the Players to join the Spell Stealer faction and the Abyss faction, but Jiang Qiao would never allow the Players to work for the Annihilation Army faction. Not a single thing.
Because this group of people had touched Jiang Qiao's bottom line, which was that they had once invaded the real world!
He had to pay the price for crossing the bottom line!
This reason alone was enough for Jiang Qiao to lead the Sacred Spirit army and destroy the Annihilation Legion!
Therefore, after the opening of the Black Tide Island, there were many factions on the island. For example, the Planar Pirates, the Spell Stealers, and the Abyss Followers. Jiang Qiao could allow the Players to blackmail — no, help them do some small tasks. Only the Annihilation Legion had to die.
Although Thorne had told Jiang Qiao that he was a member of the Annihilation Legion, Thorne's goal was not to destroy the world. He only wanted to fight the powerful Sacred Spirits.
This made Jiang Qiao treat him more leniently, but Thorne's words had touched Jiang Qiao's taboo.
"I can recommend you to join the Annihilation Legion."
Thorne didn't notice Jiang Qiao's gaze. He really hoped that these Sacred Spirits could obtain more power.
"Huh?
I really triggered the hidden mission to join the Annihilation Legion?
But why didn't a window pop up?
It doesn't matter … I'm going! "
Caramel wasn't in the mood to argue with Thorne. He charged at Thorne with the Moonlight Sword in his hand, and the green moonlight once again wreaked havoc on the battlefield.
This time, of course, Thorne noticed that Caramel didn't increase the price, so he deliberately let Caramel hit him a few times during the battle. While Thorne was trying to empty his HP, he glanced at Caramel.
According to the agreement, the healer would use hand signals to tell Thorne how much HP he had left. This way, he could better estimate how many times Caramel would hit him in the battle.
But Caramel didn't make any hand gestures. Her brows were also furrowed like Zhao Mingwei's.
Originally, when she was playing the game, she would always smile foolishly. But now, her expression was just as serious. She bit her lower lip and stared at Thorne. No one knew what she was thinking.
Zhao Mingwei's attitude towards Caramel was the same. Jiang Qiao knew that they all had memories of the Annihilation Legion invading Jiangcheng's food street.
The destruction of Jiang City's food street and the ordinary people who were injured had become their unforgettable memories. They might even laugh if they were joked with something in the Holy Spirit.
However, the Annihilation Legion was a phrase that they couldn't laugh at.
Jiang Qiao sighed. Thorne also realized that Caramel had violated the agreement. He no longer controlled his HP, and began to fight Caramel seriously.
In the end, after an entire day, Thorne's HP remained at a despairingly low 13,000. He did not increase the price of healing, so he used his special equipment to return to the Town of Heavenly Blessing at 8 PM.
"Let's go eat something good tonight," Jiang Qiao said as he patted Zhao Mingwei's shoulder.
Zhao Mingwei had been fighting Thorne for the entire day. Even a layman like Jiang Qiao could see that Zhao Mingwei was very conflicted.
On the one hand, the relationship between Zhao Mingwei and Thorne had become like a teacher and a friend. When Caramel talked about Thorne online, she would say in awe, "Teacher Thorne taught me another lesson today."
However, in Zhao Mingwei's heart, the Annihilation Legion was an enemy that he would never forgive.
Jiang Qiao even contacted Mo Shigui … Zhao Mingwei had recently settled down in the upper city, and he asked Mo Shigui to bring him out for a good meal. Mo Shigui also agreed. After all, the person who was most concerned about Zhao Mingwei's mental state and living conditions wasn't Jiang Qiao.
After Zhao Mingwei went offline, Jiang Qiao used his GM authority to go to Town of Heavenly Blessing on Brandt Island.
Now that the Chosen Ones of the Towns of Heavenly Blessing had all returned, they were waiting for the healers to heal without increasing the price as usual.
"Holy Spirit, your suggestion is useful. I can feel that there are more people challenging me today, but why didn't you tell me how much HP I have left?" Thorne still didn't understand his problem.
"Are you from the Annihilation Legion?" Healer No Increase asked Thorne again to confirm.
"Yes, I'm a member of the Annihilation Legion. I know that the Holy Spirit is the Annihilation Legion's enemy, but these Chosen Ones are also the Holy Spirit's enemy. You guys are very friendly to the Chosen Ones, so this shouldn't be too serious …"
Thorne didn't finish his sentence. Healer No Increase's grey nun robe instantly turned into heavy plate armor, and a huge cross appeared in Healer No Increase's hand.
This violent healer immediately unleashed an Awakening spell!
Healer No Increase had to try to kill Thorne in one hit!
However, she had failed … Healer Without Cost Increase was good at PvE, but not PvP. The healer's casting speed was too slow, so Thorne directly hit Healer Without Cost Increase's wrist with his iron rod, interrupting Healer Without Cost Increase's casting.
Healer No Increase held her wrist, a pained expression on her face … She didn't seem to have turned off the pain sensation in the game.
"Your Excellency Thorne!
What are you doing! "
The Chosen Ones of the Sun had just returned to the Town of Heavenly Blessing when they saw Thorne pointing his iron rod at … Healer No Increase, who had always been taking care of them.
"Did the Annihilation Legion … descend into your world?
But your original world is still intact. "
Thorne sat down facing Healer No Increase. He could feel the killing intent that Healer No Increase had released in that instant.
"That's because we resisted your invasion!"
Healer didn't raise the price. He stretched out his arm, which was still aching a little, and wanted to grab the cross again to cast a destructive skill.
But a figure shrouded in a black robe placed her hand on the back of Healer No Increase's hand that was holding the cross.
"I know the reason why you're angry, Holy Spirit … but this Eternal person isn't an invader."
Healer No Increase turned to look at the figure that suddenly appeared beside her … It was Freya!
But it wasn't her Freya. Healer No Increase quickly recognized Freya from the 'Guide' prefix above her head. She was the masterless Freya that appeared in the CG before the opening of the Inner World.
"…" Healer No Increase held the cross and looked at Thorne who was sitting on the ground. "You and the rest of you better tell me the purpose of your appearance in the Inner World. Otherwise, I'll make a call and post it on the forums, and none of you will be able to escape!"
