“3!”
I held up three fingers, though strictly speaking, they were just three bones with pieces of b.l.o.o.d.y flesh sticking on to them .
Ghost Valley was watching over the strong enemy intently, preparing to stand up straight away the moment he resurrected. On the other hand, Wind Fantasy hardly cared about our bodies as he stood 10 meters away, waiting for our resurrection. He didn’t seem to care about us, two Undead players, teaming up together.
“2!”
Breathing in deeply, I prepared to press the resurrection b.u.t.ton.
“1!”
Resurrect!
Ghost Valley was an honest person and both of us resurrected at the same time. We both gulped down a health potion each and charged towards Wind Fantasy.
“Ah&h.e.l.lip;.?”
Wind Fantasy seemed to sneer at us, and suddenly counterattacked straight towards us. His white robe fluttering in the wind, his glowing weapon that struck fear on people’s heart quickly charged towards Ghost Valley!
“Eh, aiming for me? Come–at me!”
Ghost Valley was an arrogant and proud person, therefore he didn’t yield under this attack.
Wind Fantasy was also very bold, for he feinted with his sword to bait Ghost Valley into attacking. Then, instead, he turned his body and slid his sword along Ghost Valley’s spear, brus.h.i.+ng the sharp blade of his sword at Ghost Valley’s neck. His entire movement flowed perfectly like flowing water, his demeanour befitting a true expert.
“Cha!”
When the silvery sword cut through Ghost Valley’s neck, a large number appeared–558!
It was a critical strike, an instant death!
“Pu Tong!”
Ghost Valley’s face was filled with bewilderment as he fell to his knees and died once again!
Instantaneously, Wind Fantasy turned towards me and directed his murderous aura towards me, ready to kill. At the same time, I activated my [Death Blade] and charged towards him, my body fast like a cheetah pouncing, my Green Forest Blade enveloped in a green radiance.
Caught off guard, Wind Fantasy was injured on his shoulder.
“Pu chi!”
Blood splattered, staining his white robes. Without waiting for him to recover, I quickly thrust forward, stabbing his chest, my sharp sword slick like a poisonous snake!
“327！”
“221！”
These two consecutive attacks were the result of my attack speed and power at their limits.
Thus, with his HP bar empty, Wind Fantasy slowly fell to the ground and dropped a level.
&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;
“Ughh, he killed me . . . it was so painful!”
Ghost Valley had revived and walked towards Wind Fantasy’s corpse, bitterly kicking it then said: “Fallen Hero, let’s guard his corpse. He’s currently the first in the Floating Ice City’s rankings, even after dropping to level 25. Let’s guard over his body for one whole day and see if he could still be the annoying first ranked player!”
I couldn’t help but laugh. Patting his shoulder, I said: “You guard him, I want to keep on levelling. Even if we were to guard over his corpse, I wouldn’t be sure I would be able to kill him again once he revives&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;”
I wasn’t being humble at all. I could only barely manage to defeat him after teaming up with Ghost Valley just now. If I were to fight against this person one on one, I’m afraid that my odds of winning is less than 50%!
Looking at the rankings, I found that I had fallen to level 22 while Ghost Valley fell to level 21. Both of us fall out of the top ten Floating Ice City Player Ranking Board. The ground around us were filled with corpses of over ten members of the [Mad Dragon] guild; even the first-ranked player, Wind Fantasy, encountered the same fate and was killed here. Frozen Ice Mound was indeed the territory of the Undead, befitting Mad Dragon then sent some people to find the corpse of Wind Fantasy. For someone or some people to be able to kill the top ranking player in Floating Ice, this news sent waves of terror throughout the city.
&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;
Looking at Sentinel Skeleton Leader Falk’s corpse, Ghost Valley said: “This non-boss NPC needs up to 24 hours to resurrect. We definitely can’t receive any missions today.”
“Really?”
I smiled and didn’t comment any more. Turning my body, I walked into Frozen Mound to replenish my potions and repair my equipments. Then, I treaded along Frozen Alley, entering the jungle.
Anyway, I need to first rise to LV. 25. If I could equip the Weeping Fireblade and the Cyan Fire Cloak, I wouldn’t be inferior to Wind Fantasy even in a direct confrontation.
In the edge of the cemetery, I looked for a leveling ground. LV. 25 Bone Spear Undeads, though weak in power were high in EXP. In the absence of missions, this monsters were still a good source of training.
