At the B6 floor, an Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls assassin was hiding at the coordinates. When we arrived, he immediately showed up and handed us a scroll that led to the B7 floor. We only had time to glance at the Flying Dragon Domain's Dark Shadow Flying Bat for a second before crushing the scroll and fleeing. The rest of the players looked at us as if nothing had happened.
When we arrived at the B7 floor, another assassin met up with us with the scroll. After crushing the scroll again, we arrived at the B8 floor, the Wind Dragon Domain!
… …
Swhoosh!
The moment we appeared in the Wind Dragon Domain, my vision blurred and my body ached a little. A hurricane was raging around us, and our HP kept dropping. Not far away from us, a giant eagle with dark cyan fur was flapping its wings and screaming at us. It was none other than the B8 floor's monster, the Wind Eagle!
Wind Eagles were magic-type monsters that could summon tornadoes, and they were incredibly difficult to deal with. The only way to deal with them was to kill them one at a time, or else they would be one-shot by their spells. That was why no party had reached the B9 floor yet. Of course, there was another reason for this, and that was that only players with dragon scales could drop teleportation scrolls. Players without dragon scales wouldn't drop a single teleportation scroll even if they cleared out all the mobs in this map.
"Attack!"
I pounced toward the Wind Eagle and used God Binding Art to bind it. Then, I coordinated with Chaos Moon and killed the Wind Eagle in no time. Mn, my karma wasn't that great, so it didn't drop a teleportation scroll. Instead, it dropped a cheap rock that rolled on the ground like it was looking down on us.
"Watch out, someone's coming!"
A cautious look suddenly appeared on Chaos Moon's face as she stared at a cyan mountain range not far away from her. As expected, a 50-man party had appeared on the other side of the mountain range. However, their equipment and levels were excellent, and their leader was a warrior clad in fiery red metal armor. There was an emblem that looked similar to Warsky Alliance's floating above his shoulder, and the shocking words above his head — Hundred Battler LV-127 Warrior, Guild: Warsky Alliance, Position: Leader...
Suddenly, I clenched my fists and growled, "You two be careful, there might be a PK. This brat … I think I know him …"
The warrior named Hundred Battler took off his helmet and revealed a head full of red hair. He grinned and said, "Heh, aren't you the Famous General of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls?
Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand, we finally meet … no, we've already met before. Everyone else, look normally:! "
I raised my eyebrows. "How does it feel to lose an arm and a leg?"
"It really is you, you bastard!"
Hundred Battler's eyes were filled with anger as he growled, "You motherfucker! I'm going to pay you back double for the humiliation you've given me! Brothers and sisters, prepare for battle and send this vice leader of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls back to Sky City!"
Everyone immediately drew their swords and swords. There were 50 of them, and they all had a wide variety of classes. There were warriors, mages, bards, priests, and so on. All of them could attack from afar, and if a fight broke out, it would be very disadvantageous for us.
Hundred Battler gritted his teeth and pulled out his sword. He said, "Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand has three dragon scales, and they'll drop as soon as we kill him. What are you waiting for? Guild leader Warsky and the others will be here soon!"
… …
The battle was about to break out at any moment. A dozen or so of the enemy's warriors pulled out their weapons and I slowly pulled out the Heaven-stealing Sword from the back of my battle robe. I pointed the tip of my sword at the enemy and said, "Come at me, you think I'm afraid of you?
I killed you once in the arena, and I can do it again today! "
"Hmph, just you wait and see!"
Hundred Battler charged me with his sword, but Chaos Moon caught me off guard. Her sword pushed Hundred Battler back with a loud clang, and she followed up with a beautiful Rock Crush. A damage of 12034 appeared above Hundred Battler's head, and the priests behind me quickly healed him. Clearly, Hundred Battler was no match for Chaos Moon in terms of attack power. They only had an Encourage Tactician, but we had a Famous General Martial God!
Four warriors of Warsky Alliance flew toward me. I knew that Warsky Alliance had many subguilds, and this Warsky Alliance seemed to be the first subguild. I hadn't expected the red hair I ran into in the underground arena to be the guild leader of Warsky Alliance. Enemies really do meet...
Rustle rustle rustle...
I was originally moving at 70% speed, but I abruptly changed my speed. My body swiftly deviated from my original path and brushed past the first warrior. My Heaven-stealing Sword glowed with indigo flames, and an Eight Trigrams Formation appeared beneath my feet. My sword pierced through the second warrior's body. Fans of the book also loved to read: Kill!
“23891！”
The warrior's eyes widened as he let out a scream of pain. He was one-shot just like that. There was no suspense at all.
Maintaining my speed, I abruptly used War Crush and killed the other two warriors as well. Most people wouldn't be able to withstand three consecutive hits.
Thud thud thud...
A dozen or so arrows flew toward me and hit my Crimson Rock Dragon Armor. Many of them had skills like Spiraling Arrow Blade and Devil Piercing Arrow that had a high chance of ignoring my Defense. My HP instantly dropped by 4000 or so. Yeah, no class could afford to take damage these days.
I abruptly dashed forward and faced three warriors and four archers. A smile appeared on my face as I swung my sword horizontally and unleashed Burning Blade Slash!
Boom boom boom!
Three flaming sword beams intertwined in the middle of a group of enemies. Each wave of attacks was stronger than the last, and all seven of them were killed. At the same time, the 14% lifesteal allowed me to fully recover my HP.
Before I could stabilize my footing, Fireballs, Wind Blades, Icicles, and Galaxy Storms smashed into my head and deleted over 8000 HP. At the same time, a couple of enemy magic knights spurred their mounts toward me and assumed Holy Shield Defensive positions. It was clear that they wanted to use their formation to kill me on the frontline.
I couldn't help but smile as I raised my hand and unleashed Icy Cyclone Domain to reduce the attack speed of their mages and archers. After that, I charged an archer at a corner of the enemy formation and appeared at the right corner of the enemy formation in the blink of an eye. Without any hesitation, I charged into the center of the enemy formation and unleashed Thousand Ice Slash. Basically, all of the enemy archers and mages were within range. The rest of the readers looked at me with shock.
"Oh no …"
A group of archers and mages also realized that something was wrong, but they couldn't dodge in time. Most of them were hit by the Thousand Ice Slash. The mages had Magic Shields, so they survived the attack, but the archers who were a little less skillful didn't have the time to react in time. Their only fate was to die to the light of Thousand Ice Slash. I pounced forward and locked onto a Level 125 mage. This was the guy whose Galaxy Storm had dealt over 5000 damage to me!
"Not good, he's trying to kill the boss!"
A couple of magic knights turned pale with fright and hurriedly tried to run away, but they were too late. They could only watch as I pressed my sword against the mage's chest!
The mage who looked to be around thirty years old suddenly laughed. "Do you think you can kill me?"
He abruptly waved his scepter, and an icicle burst out of the ground and froze my feet in place. Then, he blinked into the distance and disappeared.
I smiled as well. I raised my hand and used God Binding Art. Taking advantage of the 0.5-second delay after the enemy Blink, I successfully bound him. Then, I took on a bunch of mages' fireballs and used three Dragon Slaying Slashes in a row. Even the enemy's priest couldn't heal his Magic Shield in the slightest. The moment his Magic Shield shattered, the mage's face turned pale. His frail body was instantly torn to shreds by the energy of the third Dragon Slaying Slash!
… …
"Fuck, that bastard killed a mage …"
The magic knights turned red with anger. I glanced to the side and noticed that Chaos Moon was fighting Hundred Battler. In terms of equipment, Chaos Moon was a cut above Hundred Battler, but in terms of level, skill and control, she wasn't the slightest bit inferior to Hundred Battler. The only reason Hundred Battler wasn't losing was because he had a bunch of priests healing him from behind. Otherwise, he would've been killed by Chaos Moon's Barrier Break + Rock Crush combo a long time ago.
Just like that, Chaos Moon pinned down the enemy's strongest expert, and I took the opportunity to sweep through the enemy's main camp with the Sky Obsidian Greedy Wolf. A surprise Thousand Ice Slash killed a lot of archers, and without the stun effect of Shock Arrow, I had nothing to worry about. Fighting 30 + enemies by myself didn't seem to be too much of a problem.
… …
Suddenly, I heard the thundering of hooves as a group of riders charged toward us from the other side of the mountain range. It was Warsky Alliance, and behind them were Warsky, October Rain and Farewell Song. As expected, Warsky Alliance was Warsky Alliance's first subguild. When a subguild was in trouble, the main guild immediately sent reinforcements.
Warsky gripped his sword and ran toward us with an ugly expression on his face. "What the hell is this? Candle Dragon killed two of our generals, Lin Bing Dou Zhe and Laughing At The Heavens, and now even Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand has come to bully us? Do they really think that Warsky Alliance doesn't have anyone left?
Kill Lu Chen and take his three dragon scales! "
A group of Warsky Alliance players charged toward us. There were at least 500 of them, and many of them were the cream of the crop in Warsky Alliance.
I couldn't help but shiver as I used Thousand Ice Slash to repel the enemy. Then, I turned around and pounced toward Chaos Moon. I grabbed her arm and kicked Hundred Battler in the chest. Then, I ran toward the back with Chaos Moon and Moon Dew in tow. I whispered, "Not good, Warsky is here. Goddammit, Warsky may be loyal to his friends, but he's destined to be our enemy. He won't let us go this time …"
Chaos Moon nodded in agreement.
… …
I hadn't run very far when I suddenly heard a flurry of footsteps in front of me. A group of people was rushing out of the valley, and the leader of the group was a beautiful knight riding a snow-colored warhorse. She was as beautiful as a goddess, and her body was covered in layers of armor. She held a longsword that glowed with wind blades in her hand and smiled at me. "Lu Chen, we're here …"
Xu Yang and the others were charging toward us from behind. Xu Yang's eyes widened the moment he saw Hundred Battler. He shouted, "Fuck, it's you, you bastard!"
