322 Blinding Light vs Petrify! Doomsday! (1/2)
Just when an Angel Faction party was about to enter the pre-planned ambush ring, another party from the Demon Faction's appearance caused the whole party to be in full on alert mode. Needless to say, the twenty-odd numbers of people hiding behind the tomb were furious by this unexpected appearance as this means that their plan was thwarted. As the hidden ones fumed at the unwelcome guests, they secretly cursed that the whole party would be killed off by the Angel Faction party.
The Bowmaster who first detected their arrival, however, thought otherwise…
Literally one second before they came, the information on the Angel Faction party's giant monster was replayed in his mind. He felt this immediate unprecedented chill run through his body.
Tier 5 Miniboss!
'This has got to be a joke...'
It was incomprehensible how such a terrifying ”weapon” could exist in a player's party.
Following that discovery, the Bowmaster saw the female player party leader—a Radiant Priest! Once again he was lost in his thoughts.
The Radiant Priest was one of the Classes that was in the top of the bounty list as jointly requested by the Demon faction's four major leagues and its twenty clans. That very Class was right in front of his eyes, in a party that was in the possession of a Tier 5 Miniboss.
His heart dropped at this realization as he dejectedly withdrew behind the tomb. Uneasily, he turned to an expectant Zephyr Swordmaster to break the news.
”Brother Kai, things are not looking good.”He went on to explain what he witnessed to everyone, which was followed by a unison gasp.
”Tier 5 Miniboss?”
”That's insane! What a lucky summoner! With such a low success rate to seal one, he actually managed to get one?”
”I can't even seal a Tier 4 Miniboss, they are obviously overpowered!”
”Cut the crap!”
The guy called Brother Kai glared coldly at the few who made a fuss about this.
The Bowmaster ignored them and said, ”I think that the main point here is the Bauhinia Clan's Radiant Priest. Hasn't Tiger Cub been assassinating Angel Faction's Radiant Priests? The fact that this Radiant Priest is still alive must mean that he was not able to take the party down, imagine how strong they must be!”
”Exactly! Brother Kai, the way that I see it, they must have rushed through the warp portal. With a Tier 5 Miniboss, their party might even have a few Field Commander level players...” One of the party members quipped. Those in the party who were moments earlier just complaining about how there were unwanted guests started to rejoice at this change in the course of their gameplan.
The Zephyr Swordmaster merely gave them a cold, sweeping stare and said, ”So what is it that all of you plan to do? Let them get rid of the Miniboss and follow them to the fifth floor of the Graveyard? Based solely on your abilities, do you think you can even step foot on the fifth floor and play with the pros?”
”...”
Dead silence followed his remark.
He was spot on with what they had in mind, but after what the Zephyr Swordmaster said, they were instantly hit by the harsh reality that they were obviously not strong enough to go to the fifth floor of the Graveyard of the Gods. Even on the fourth floor they had to stick together tightly, depending only on sneak attacks to deal with Angel Faction parties. If it were the fifth floor, when confronting champion parties that have formed teams, who could they even band together with? In the end, they were only rookies who would be slaughtered mercilessly.
”What do we do now?”
Brother Kai walked to one side of the tomb, glanced furtively at the battle that had already broken out between the two parties and curled his lips into a sneer.
”Let them go all out… we'll join in soon enough.”
As he drew his head back from the battle scene, he let out a slight snort…
Just a moment ago! It felt as if there was someone watching him. Was it just his imagination?

”Two batches of people? Haha! That's great! Leave the small fries to me and the Subjugator. There are more people there, we'll let you guys deal with them. Let's have a competition shall we?” Steel Dude lowered his voice and said provokingly to Qin Ruo and some other people before splitting up with the party.
”Hah! It's on!”
Upon hearing the challenge, Black Rock became excited.
”There's no need to utilize the Amethyst Orc, that would be against the rules! Qin Ruo's level is low so he can use Pets!” Steel Dude added on immediately. If there was an Amethyst Orc, they would not be able to carry out this competition. It would have been able to rampage its way through, killing all in its path. The scary index of the Amethyst Orc is so much higher than his ”Head Crusher”.
”The person who kills the most number of enemies can pick any one person from the party to ask one question.”
”Deal! As long as there's a bet!”
Fateless, the Bandit killer who sought adrenaline-filled excitement joined the competition.
”Shit! I forgot about Fateless… No can do, Steel Dude stand down, you and Amethyst Orc protect Sister Violet.”
”I have a name you know.”
Judge's feeble protest was instantaneously muffled.
”Let's go!”
”Go go go!”
***
Head Crusher Steel Dude!
Subjugator Clan's Captain Subjugator!
The two powerful warriors blazed toward the ten plus numbers of Demon Faction players...
On this side, Qin Ruo, Black Rock, and Snowleaf paced themselves. With Fateless urging them on, they bounded speedily toward the three tombs clustered together.
The Bowmaster responsible for detecting enemy movements discovered an Aquamancer and a Terramancer, along with a Cryospider, from the Angel Faction party heading toward them. Did they really only send two people from their party?
