I ran straight towards the Floating Ice City. There were quite a few players teaming up as a party outside the city. When I came, a lot of people started to raise their eyebrows at me. It was obvious that a few people had wanted to attack me, so I displayed my name clearly. Indeed, the name ‘Fallen Hero’ was extremely intimidating. As the third ranked player in the Floating Ice City Player Ranking Board, a lot of people who had wanted to kill me, who had a red name, flinched back.

Arriving at the Floating Ice City East Gate Bridge, I saw Xu Yang and Mu Rong Ming Yue who had already waited for a long time at a far distance. Xu Yang still wore the same heroic looking armor and carried the same sword, while Mu Rong Ming Yue had changed into a white-coloured robe. She looked pure and white like snow, however, the sultry smile on her expression and impressive-looking body had destroyed her pure image. Anyone with discerning eyes would be able to tell with one look that this girl was extremely difficult to deal with. It would be better not to provoke her.

&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;

“He’s here. Fallen Hero Brother!” Xu Yang smiled as he welcomed me.

I nodded lightly and replied with the coa.r.s.e voice of an Undead, “I still have two comrades coming. Please wait a few more minutes, they would arrive in a few moments!”

“Alright!”

Xu Yang’s gaze measured my equipments up and down, before he sighed, “Fallen Hero Brother, your armor&h.e.l.lip; why did it glow so differently from others? What tier is that? It couldn’t be bronze-tier or iron-tier, right?”

I chuckled and answered without trying to conceal anything, “Yeah, it’s rune-tier. Spirit Wind Cloud Armour, 48 defense and +11 strength. Not bad right?”

Xu Yang nodded, “Haha, it’s really OP!”

When I told him my equipment’s attributes truthfully, I would be able to gain his trust. Furthermore, this was Xu Yang. i wouldn’t be afraid of him seeing me in the wrong way as Xu Yang was not that kind of person. In my memory, my impression towards this sincere and loyal figure was only: first, he was extremely outspoken and straightforward. Second, he was loyal towards He Yi. With regards to this second point, he was similar to me. Even up until the end, we didn’t give up on He Yi and Ancient Sword Dream.

At this moment, Mu Rong Ming Yue walked closer and welcomed me. Suddenly, the corners of her mouth curved up as she revealed a meaningful smile that I couldn’t see through. She spoke lightly, “Fallen Hero, I heard that you destroyed the [G.o.d Destroyer] guild’s Domineering Clan in the Poison Wasp Forest, is that true?”

I nodded without replying.

Mu Rong Ming Yue continued, “Ah, how did you have the courage to fight against 5 expert players from the Player Ranking Board?”

I couldn’t help but smile, my voice was coa.r.s.e as I said, “ Actually, to fight against the Domineering Clan, those Player Ranking Board experts, you would need more than just courage.”

“Oh? What else would you need?” Mu Rong Ming Yue smiled and asked.

I replied in a low voice, “Lines&h.e.l.lip; Everyone will have their own lines and boundaries. The Domineering Clan had crossed my line, so even if I have to fight them to death, I would definitely not let them off.”

“Oh?”

Mu Rong Ming Yue chuckled softly but didn’t ask further. Instead, she turned around and asked Xu Yang, “Xu Yang, I remembered that your corpse was guarded by the Domineering Clan for one whole day and night. If Fallen Hero had really slaughtered the Domineering Clan, wouldn’t that meant he had helped you to take revenge on them?”

Xu Yang laughed loudly, “Thank you, Fallen Hero Brother!”

I replied straightforwardly, “That thanks wasn’t sincere at all! We are the pioneers of the Crimson Mercenaries who put money above everything else. Rather than thanking me with your mouth, why don’t you thank me with your gold!”

Mu Rong Ming Yue chuckled again as she took out a dazzling gold coin from her robes and said, “Here you are. Are you willing to take it?”

I reached my bony hands out and immediately caught the gold in my grasp. Hugging the piece of gold tight in my hands, I smiled slightly, “If Mu Rong beauty is willing to give it to me, of course I am willing to receive it!”

Mu Rong Ming Yue froze and stared at me blankly, “I really can’t understand you&h.e.l.lip;”

I laughed. It’s good if you can’t understand me, I am most worried about you seeing through me. If that really happened, I really could not hide my ident.i.ty anymore.

One question kept nagging in my mind, and I have thought to ask her a thousand times, or even ten thousand times, ‘Ming Yue, He Yi&h.e.l.lip; Boss, has she entered the game yet?’

However, I couldn’t ask her. If I ever asked this question, the troubles and consequences that came after it was something I wouldn’t be able to take.

Alas, Xu Yang had actually helped me to ask the question, “Ming Yue, didn’t Boss say she will enter the game today? When is she coming online exactly?”

Ming Yue laughed lightly, “What are you so anxious about? She had some meetings to attend during the day, so she only has time to go online around 8 pm. It’s okay, she would also still be at Level 0 when she comes online, and she would still be in the newbie village. We’ll look for her later and help her to level so that she could quickly rise to level 10 and be able to go to Floating Ice City!”

“Okay!”

Xu Yang propped his sword on his shoulders and laughed out, “I’m dying of antic.i.p.ation. Boss finally joined . I finally feel like I have found my pillar. I’m super charged now!”

Mu Rong Ming Yue’s eyes dropped a little as she said with teary eyes, “It was a pity that Lian Xin went to study overseas, and Lu Chen&h.e.l.lip; Aih, who would know that Ancient Sword Dream will end up this way&h.e.l.lip;”

As she said that, Mu Rong Ming Yue glanced at me secretly.

I immediately turned around and observed the water under the bridge. Gritting my teeth, I started reminiscing about what happened at back then in my mind. He Yi’s mesmerizing smiling face had said to the four of us, “Do you know why I named our guild ‘Ancient Sword Dream’? I meant for us to use our lives to protect our dreams and battle spirit!”

Dream and battle spirit&h.e.l.lip;

Looking at how Xu Yang and I had faced those continuous b.l.o.o.d.y slaughters and various traps for more than a year, seems like we had definitely fulfilled the ‘battle spirit’ part. However, my dreams were shattered by the G.o.d of War, Chaos Illumination, in the end.

Clasping my fist tightly, I swore in my heart. If Chaos Illumination created a Illumination Dragon Guild in , in the future not far from now, I would definitely return all the pain and sufferings multiple fold back to him!

&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;

After a few minutes, two other people came towards us. It was naturally Du s.h.i.+ San and the red-named Ghost Valley.
