92 Chapter 92 - Descending Wheel of Flames (1/2)
The players who were searching for Silver Moon were none other than the three members of Young Master's Elite mercenary group: Royal God Call, Brother Assist, and Young Master Han. War Without Wounds became too impatient upon seeing the mess that the battle had escalated into, so he directly joined the players clashing at the plaza. He, together with Sword Demon and the gang, formed the Past Deeds Eradication Army's first line of defense. Currently, he was ferociously carving through the enemies' ranks alongside the others.
The trio looked all around them once Young Master Han suggested that they gather more Archers.
Although quite a few Archers were still hiding on the rooftops, most of them were out of range of the Past Deeds' meatball that had begun its melee engagement at the plaza. Currently, these Archers were re-adjusting their positions in the hopes of contributing what strength they could to the battle below. In fact, those who were still out of range and could not strike the enemies despite moving to the rooftops' edges decided to just jump down and join the fighting below. Some of the cleverer players had identified Silver Moon among the enemy lines and headed toward the appropriate shooting locations!
Nonetheless, these Archers had yet to reach a vantage point and had their views obstructed by some protruding structures, so they could still not attack Silver Moon who was at the heart of the Past Deeds' battle formation.
”Over here!” Royal God Call shouted toward the running Archers, ”You can shoot him from here!”
Some Archers heard Royal God Call's shout and quickly made their way to him.
”Do you guys know Snipe?” Royal God Call asked them this important question, as it was impossible to shoot the target from his location without Snipe.
Several of the running Archers answered Royal God Call using their middle fingers. They felt that such a question was as good as belittling their abilities.
Royal God Call felt very pleased. He addressed Brother Assist and Young Master Han, ”All good.”
In the end, he had celebrated too early. The Archers who were running over suddenly screamed one after another. Following this, a few Thieves appeared from behind their backs. At the same time, the other Archers at the plaza were also ambushed by Thieves on Stealth. All these Archers were quickly disposed of by the Thieves that had completely caught them by surprise.
Before Royal God Call knew it, he was the only alive Archer left. Thieves were now standing on places where the Archers had once stood. Royal God Call was filled with anxiety by this, and he promptly checked his immediate surroundings.
The Thieves of Past Deeds that had respawned in the Thieves' Union finally joined the battle.
This was just the beginning. Since all the spawn points, besides the Mage Academy, were no longer being blocked off, the Past Deeds' members revived themselves and quickly headed to this warzone. The revived players of the Past Deeds Eradication Army also had the same idea, so the two sides inevitably met each other along the way. Currently, the two powerful forces' fight was not limited to this plaza and had already spread all over the city. No matter where one was, be it on a street or in an alleyway, players could be seen clashing with one another.
”Now what?” Royal God Call asked anxiously. He alone would obviously not be enough to kill Silver Moon, judging by the golden meatball's brazen actions. Sword Demon and the lot could not do it as well, as they were under a lot of pressure right now. They were constantly losing men; their line of defense also kept on retreating as their formation was battered left and right by the enemies' attacks. As a corollary, the fragile Mages behind the line were pushed to the ground by the force of their retreating comrades. The whole battlefield was in utter chaos.
”KILL!” Silver Moon now openly displayed his arrogance. Raising King's Blade high above his men's heads, he let the golden glow envelop the surrounding area. As the Past Deeds' army everywhere entered the AOE of King's Command, they attacked Sword Demon's side with more gusto. Royal God Call was royally enraged. He would gladly exchange his bow for a rocket launcher and blow Silver Moon to smithereens with it if he could.
At this moment, the air around Silver Moon and his meatball became heated. Following this, a visible distortion appeared right above their heads and formed into a flame wheel. This flame wheel spun and quickly descended into their midst.
It's just Descending Wheel of Flames; what's the big deal? the Past Deeds' members under this flame wheel thought to themselves. It would only be daunting if there were more flame wheels. With this train of thought, they all turned their noses up in total disregard of the spell.
But when the fire wheel completed its descent and released its might....
Everyone was flabbergasted.
A huge, empty circle immediately appeared in the center of the Past Deeds' battle formation. This circle's sole occupant was Silver Moon who was standing there with his sword held aloft.
”What happened? Where did they go?” All the Past Deeds' players dumbly looked around them. Even Sword Demon and his comrades felt baffled by what had just happened. Did Silver Moon use a teleportation skill to send his troops elsewhere? Is there even such a skill? That would be too extravagant and unrealistic, right?
Sword Demon and his men looked suspiciously at their rear. Could the meatball have been sent right behind them?
Only Silver Moon knew what had truly transpired....
Too much. The damage from that single flame wheel is too much! Silver Moon only survived the attack due to his high-grade equipment. The King's Blade in his hand, besides the King's Command skill, had a trait that boosted all his stats by 8 points. The accessories he was wearing provided him with high magic resistance, while the equipment he was using afforded him high physical defense. Silver Moon's top-grade equipment from head to toe definitely matched his reputation.
Nonetheless, that Descending Wheel of Flames still managed to reduce his HP to a sliver. He might be alive right now, but he was close to dying.
This Mage's Magic Attack Power is too OP, Silver Moon thought to himself. At this moment, a man squeezed through the opposing side's fragmented formation. He was wearing a pitch-black mage robe and holding a purple colored sword shrouded in black luster.
”27149!” All the Past Deeds' members had taken the 'Bounty Mission' for Gu Fei, so many of them recognized him at a glance.
Gu Fei smiled sheepishly at Sword Demon and the others, ”Sorry, I'm late.”
”How did you get here?” Sword Demon stared at Gu Fei in astonishment.
”That's a long story. After leaving Youye Valley, I arrived at the plains. There, I threw the few Thieves Past Deeds had sent after me off my track. Afterward, I entered the city through the north gate and encountered The Black Hand mercenary group again. I finally got here after freeing myself from their hassling. Seeing everyone fighting energetically, I couldn't resist joining in. The rest is history—oh, yeah! I learned a new spell on my way here. Look…” Gu Fei rambled all this in one go, before pointing Moonlit Nightfalls forward, ”Descending Wheel of Flames! Descend!”
