464 Life is Strange (1/2)
”This equipment… are all for me?” Black Rock asked rhetorically. He held the three Galbis Despair equipment in his hand and looked awestruck. His brow twitched with excitement, which made those around him felt like cussing.
”This bastard is showing off…”
”Definitely.”
Subjugator did not join the jeering this time. This was because he was also occupied at the moment. Anxious that the three Divinity-fused players on top of the lair might jump them suddenly, Qin Ruo directly transferred the Earth-type Divinity to Subjugator the moment he reunited with the group. The latter sat down eagerly and wrapped the Divinity with Combat Aura immediately under the protection of those three with Angelic Wings. Rings of yellowish elemental ribbons rapidly emanated from the Divinity core.
The fusion began!
Since the enemies did not rush toward them the first time, Qin Ruo made use of the spare time and described Galbis anti-flight ability and the knack of utilizing Groundhog Step to Black Rock.
Black Rock thanked him profusely while removing his Dark Gold robe, gauntlets, and greaves gleefully. He then put on the magnificent Galbis Despair Set.
”Tsk tsk, Legendary equipment are indeed extraordinary!”
”Crap. Your equipment is better than mine now.” Not only were Apocalypse and others jealous, even Qin Ruo felt a little bitter about it.
'Can't believe this lucky bastard is the first to put on a set of Elemental equipment.'
”Ha ha!! Worry not my Clan Leader. I guarantee I will not disappoint you and disgrace the name of Fallen Angels. F*ck it, even if Death Jesus challenges me now, I believe I am able to finish him off. Darn it, laughed at my lack of Legendary equipment eh… If I can't kill him, I will make use of those Cyclops up there to trample him.”
Hearing Black Rock's egotistical bluff, Qin Ruo started to feel a little concern…
'Have I given him too big of a reward? Has this short-circuited his brain?'

While they chatted jubilantly, they were unaware that Savior and the other two Demon Faction players were utterly dazed by what they had just witnessed as they were retreating from the top of Galbis' Lair.
Divinity Fusion!
Although they were far apart, it was hard for them not to notice the obvious feature shown during the fusion process.
They looked at each other as Death Jesus smiled helplessly. ”Nobody from our side ever mentioned that he had obtained another Divinity Crystal...”
”It's not odd that a Tier 4 Ultimate Boss will drop that. We should have thought about it earlier. What to do now?” Black Widow's face became gloomier. It seemed like each encounter with Qin Ruo yields nothing good in the end. This scarred her psychologically.
”Now we wait.” Only Savior was able to maintain his composure. He said coolly, ”Warriors with Angelic Wings are not used to aerial battles, so I believe Black Widow can handle him. We wait for Leon to arrive and take them down one at a time. We will finish the fight quickly.” Three Tier 5 Veteran Champions with Demonic Wings against three newly advanced Tier 5 Champions with Angelic Wings—Savior could not see how Fallen Angels could come out from this battle victorious.

Puff!
A brand new wings owner was born the moment a pair of pure and holy wings sprouted out from behind Subjugator.
Subjugator had a look of ecstasy on his face as he soared freely in the air. After few laps of free gliding, Subjugator released out a long yell and hovered proudly opposite Qin Ruo, Black Rock, and Apocalypse.
”Haha. It's so energizing to have wings. Should we make our move now?”
”Can you match Black Widow now?” Qin Ruo asked.
”Black Widow?” Subjugator frowned.
The lady Qin Ruo mentioned was the top female Warrior of the Mythical Continent. She was infamous for her fierce battle skills and techniques. However, in terms of dueling, Subjugator believed he could still outmatch her due to his Fire-Resistant Equipment. Still…
”If the battle takes place in the air, I don't think I stand a chance.” Subjugator voiced his concern.
”We are dead if we take the battle up in the skies. The two with Black Widow must be Savior and Death Jesus. Besides them, I think there will be another group of people coming over. We own neither the advantage in numbers nor strength… Thus, we have to avoid fighting them up in the sky. Luckily we have Galbis' Despair Set. Our aim is to keep the fight on the ground. Black Rock, it will be up to you then. Apply Gravity Field to stop them from flying when the timing is right. If possible, throw them directly into the horde of Cyclopses.”
After Qin Ruo conveyed the battle plan, several of them grinned wickedly at the same time.
'What a good plan.'
Not only that the enemies were unaware of their hidden trick Gravity Field, but their Pets also outnumbered the opponents by two. On the ground, two extra Pets might make a huge difference. Moreover, they have two Tier 5 Bandits lurking near them.
”Judge, go back to the town with Snowleaf. Fateless and Lock, the things in Galbis' Lair will be counting on you two.”
”Okay!”
They all responded in agreement.
”Let's go!”
Qin Ruo powered his wings and soared to lead the pack. Black Rock, Apocalypse, and Subjugator followed suit. Four players with Angelic Wings ascended rapidly toward the peak of Galbis' Lair.
Fateless and Permanent Lock, on the other hand, activated Elemental Camouflage and Stealth to quickly disappear into the darkness down at Galbis' Lair before it turned into an iron fortress.

”Here they come!” Savior alerted his comrades after he saw Qin Ruo bring his three other flying comrades to come forward. He balanced himself in the air at about two hundred meters away from the peak of the Galbis Nest.
They then quickly glanced at the other direction.
