I logged back into the game immediately, and a flash later, I appeared in the middle of the camp. I was greeted by the sight of a pile of Obsidian Iron in front of Mona and a couple of blacksmiths.
"Ah, you're finally back! Fans love to read Obsidian Iron!" Mona stared at me with wide eyes.
I patted the Obsidian Iron on the table and smiled. "Mona, I'll leave this to you. I have something urgent to attend to, so I'll be back in a bit. Everyone else, read Obsidian Iron as usual!"
"Mn. Also, be careful of the Moon Shadow Wolves …"
"Got it!"
I summoned the Ancient Divine Dragon and hurriedly joined Kiss Scar's party. However, I discovered that she and her party members were already at Obsidian Cave. As expected, the battle had already begun.
… …
I used a Mad Leopard Card and flew into the distance. A few minutes later, I arrived above the forest and saw that the battle was already in full swing. Kiss Scar and Battle Scar were leading over ten thousand Howling Wind Cavalrymen in a head-on clash, and Gui Guzi was leading ten thousand Dragonlight Cavalrymen from the flanks.
At the front, Tear Stain gripped her sword and fired an Ice Flame Slash + Ice Blade Slash combo, killing four Howling Wind Cavalrymen in one go. At the same time, she activated her Divine General Skill, Bright Sky Realm, which gave her a 50% chance to dodge all attacks aimed at her. Countless "misses" appeared above Tear Stain's head, and with her stats and Luck, her hit rate was at least 70%. Of course, a player with a high hit rate like Beiming Xue would have a much higher hit rate. Either way, Bright Sky Realm greatly increased Tear Stain's HP, and she had a certain amount of lifesteal. She was actually able to hold off the Howling Wind Cavalrymen head-on with a group of high-level Throne of the Wild players.
Battle Scar roared angrily and swung his battle axe. Earth Shattering Slash + Barrier Break combo, and a high-level knight beside Tear Stain couldn't withstand the attack. He let out a painful groan and collapsed to the ground. Battle Scar's berserk buff greatly increased his Attack power, and he was incredibly brutal when he went berserk.
"Damn it!"
Anger was written all over Tear Stain's face. She swung her sword horizontally and ended the battle as quickly as possible. Ice Flame Slash, Ice Blade Slash, and Barrier Break all landed on Battle Scar in quick succession. Clang clang clang rang out as Tear Stain's sword slashed at the S1 player's armor. The three skills were too powerful for Battle Scar to withstand even with his S1 armor. He stumbled back with a howl of pain as his HP plummeted. "110292.
“102929！”
“142281！”
The Attack power of Barrier Break was so high that Battle Scar couldn't block it at all. His HP instantly fell to 25%, and he couldn't fight any longer. He hurriedly urged his mount to charge back and called for the Priests to heal him. Holy light enveloped his body, healing his HP quickly.
"Pu!"
Biting Kiss responded with a shout from the side. Her Barrier Break sliced across Tear Stain's waist, dealing -90,882 damage to the Berserker. The Berserker's jaw dropped in shock. She hadn't expected Tear Stain's Defense to be this high.
"Hehe …"
To my surprise, Tear Stain turned around and slashed Kiss to the side. At the same time, her lips curled up into a smile. "The number one female warrior of the Holland Arena, Kiss?
Come, let's settle this once and for all! "
Tear Stain cut into Kiss's defensive zone without hesitation and slashed her sword three times in a row. Her speed was shockingly fast, and Kiss was clearly a beat too slow to react. She raised her sword to block the enemy's movement path, but she was forced to retreat again after three hits.
Gritting her teeth, Kiss executed an S-shaped maneuver to cut off her opponent's movement path. Then, she swung her sword and attacked with the Butterfly Steps. It was another high-level maneuver tactic that allowed one to attack from the enemy's line of sight. Unfortunately for her, her opponent was Tear Stain, Candlelight Shadow's junior, and Tear Stain was at Candlelight Shadow's level when it came to the Butterfly Steps.
Chiang!
Tear Stain parried the attack in the blink of an eye and took over 90k damage from Kiss. Then, she raised her arm and shouted, "Absolute Zero!"
"Crash!"
The Kiss Scar's body suddenly trembled and she couldn't move. She opened her palm and the light of the Divine General Skill, Earth Dragon Blade appeared on her fingers. However, she didn't use it. Instead, countless frost sprang up from the soles of her feet and froze her entire body. The Absolute Zero Freeze had a very large range. Not only did it freeze the Kiss Scar, it also froze the dozens of Howling Wind Cavalrymen around her. Of course, the berserk Vikings ignored the effect of the skill and continued their slaughter.
… …
God dammit, Battle Scar and Kiss couldn't beat Tear Stain in a row. She was a one-on-one PvP player, and she was putting a lot of pressure on us.
Swhoosh!
The Primordial Divine Dragon suddenly descended from the sky. The Zi Ying Sword swung down like a bolt of lightning, descending along with the dragon!
"Ah?!"
Caught off guard, Tear Stain had no choice but to raise her sword and parry my attack. She moved her arm slightly to the side and used the most scientific angle to negate my attack. The key to parry was to negate the power of an attack, and the more power you negated, the less damage you would take.
I saw everything clearly, so I abruptly flipped my wrist the moment our swords were about to collide. The Purple Ying Sword glowed brightly as I moved it 3 centimeters to the side. Tear Stain stared at me in astonishment as I swung my sword. Her strongest Defense was only 3 centimeters away from her weakest Defense. I knew it, and Tear Stain knew it too.
“140201！”
I shattered Tear Stain's parry in one hit, and the Ancient Divine Dragon landed on the ground with a roar. Its sinister head opened its mouth and roared angrily at the Ancient Divine Dragon. Tear Stain's mount neighed in pain as it tried to back away. At the same time, I gave chase and swung the Purple Ying Sword horizontally. Cyan light of the Eight Trigrams surrounded the Ancient Divine Dragon's feet as I unleashed Universe Break. Then, I changed the angle of my attack again and plunged my sword into Tear Stain's abdomen!
Thud!
“182893！”
Tear Stain's HP dropped to less than half in the blink of an eye. Her face was ashen, but she didn't retreat. Instead, she grabbed my sword with her left hand and dashed forward. Then, she used Ice Blade Slash on me!
Thud!
I felt a chill run down my spine. God dammit, I had been frozen by Ice Blade Slash, and even my dragon was covered in a thick layer of ice. Unfortunately for me, I only had 1.5 seconds, and it wasn't enough to do anything to me. Even without the buffs from my Famous General Skill and Bard, I still had almost a million HP.
In fact, Tear Stain had no intention of killing me. She retreated and chugged down a health potion. Then, she growled, "Archers, attack Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand with Mountain Stagger Arrows and Armor Piercing Arrows! The second and third squads will break through the defense and enter the two caves on the far right. Dig out as much Obsidian Iron as you can!"
Countless archers appeared and used their Volley skills. I raised my Dragon God Shield to block them and moved sideways at the same time. I raised my arm and used [Summon the Wind and Summon the Rain] into the group of archers, slaughtering them all. Suddenly, I covered the ground with one hand and used another [Soaring Dragon Suppression]. The surrounding group of Throne of the Wild cavalry was torn to shreds. The attack power of [Soaring Dragon Suppression] was just too high.
"This …"
Tear Stain's expression was ugly. She hadn't expected me to learn such a powerful skill after we parted ways in the WEL. I was a player in the Ironhead Wasteland, and I rarely leaked my battle videos to the outside world. It was only natural that people didn't know about Soaring Dragon Suppressing.
… …
Both sides were charging and killing each other, and the ground between us was littered with the corpses of both sides. It was as if we were the only two people in the world talking to each other — "Tear Stain!"
I growled, "Last time, we agreed that you would only be active in Dragonbone Mountain Range. This place is under the control of the China server, so why did you break the agreement and come here?"
Tear Stain pursed her lips. "Hehe, it's true that my people and I are living in Dragonbone Mountain Range, but our construction players need a very special iron called Cyan Obsidian Iron. It can only be found in the China server, so we had no choice but to come here. Moreover, this is Purple Grape City's territory, so we should share the resources with each other. However, that bastard Gui Guzi insisted on taking it for himself, so I had no choice but to attack him.
Everyone else, don't worry! "I raised the Purple Ying Sword and smiled." Gui Guzi is my brother, not a bastard. Today, I'm going to say that we came to Obsidian Cave first, and there's a saying that first impressions count. Therefore, Throne of the Wild's attack is a challenge to us, and I accept it. I'm interested to see just how much Candlelight Shadow's junior sister is worth! "
Tear Stain's expression changed. "What do you mean by this, Lu Chen? Are you openly challenging Throne of the Wild?"
I pointed at the ground and growled, "This is God Slayer's territory. We arrived here a few days ago, and now you're attacking us with Throne of the Wild? How dare you say that we're challenging you?
Tear Stain, if you think my God Slayer is a pushover, then I'm sorry, but I'll kick Throne of the Wild out of Glacier River County! "
"Fine, fine. Then let's see who's the real deal!"
Tear Stain retreated while shouting orders, "Ranged players, hold Lu Chen down! Even if it costs ten thousand men, hold him down! Everyone else, attack from the sides! Lu Chen is the only scary one in God Slayer, and the rest of them are nothing in our eyes! Everyone, attack! Don't hold back!"
… …
Battle cries rang out. As expected, Tear Stain was going all out this time.
Behind me, Kiss Stain killed a low-health Burning City player with a single slash. Then, she said, "Boss, I heard that Tear Stain wants Obsidian Iron because her territory in Burning City is Rank 10. Her territory's skill is to build heavy siege weapons called Obsidian Thunder Chariots, and they need a lot of Obsidian Iron to build them. That's why they're determined to take this cave …"
I frowned. "Burning City wants to build Obsidian Thunder Chariots?
Fuck, this is a siege weapon. Who is Burning City planning to attack? "
"Isn't it obvious?" Gui Guzi walked up from behind me with the Spear of the Knight God.
I raised my sword and said, "Then there's no need to say anything else. Kill them all, and don't even think about taking a single piece of Obsidian Iron!"
