197 Chapter 197 - Rekindling Old Grudges (2/2)

”Keep in mind that your death must not be in vain!” Brother Assist yelled, ”Gather as much data as you can!”

Although Brother Assist said this, not one of them would actually let War Without Wounds die just like this. All stopped what they were doing as they scrambled to aid him. Young Master Han swiftly tossed Heal on to him, Brother Assist bolstered his defense with Blessing of Resilience, and Sword Demon activated Fleetfoot while holding a baton to get closer to those four encircling him. Even the squabbling Gu Fei and Royal God Call swung by to give him a helping hand; Royal God Call shot off arrows to the enemies, while Gu Fei tossed Fireball over.

”Just a little bit more, guys!” Silver Moon and his gang were gritting their teeth at the moment, hoping to kill off War Without Wounds before his assistance arrive. However, War Without Wounds' defense was no joke either, and there was simply not enough time for them to kill him off when there were only two of them assaulting him. Seeing their inefficiency to quickly do the deed, Silver Moon hollered at his men, ”DISPERSE!”

The men quickly separated without a complaint. The two Guardians retreated and Silver Moon sidestepped as he granted Blessing of Strength on the Warrior.

The Warrior growlingly lowered his claymore to his side, preparing to use Cyclone on War Without Wounds. The Cyclone skill was far more efficient than their basic attacks put together, so whether they could kill War Without Wounds depended on this entirely.

Everything happened so swiftly that War Without Wounds had no time to react. And right when these four hopeful men were hoping that they could score their first kill of the day, the space behind War Without Wounds suddenly distorted and shattered.

”F*ck!” Silver Moon thundered. He had seen this scene many times today, and it had given him a headache every time.

Gu Fei blinked himself right behind War Without Wounds, his sword already swinging with Twin Incineration and homing in on the Warrior's body. He managed to insta-kill the Warrior before the latter could even begin the process for Cyclone.

This Warrior had evidently focused on a Strength build, so his HP was not particularly high. Given how the physical defense of Warriors did not protect them from spells, the Warrior immediately died with flame scorching his body.

”Miles! Now that's what I call a real brother!” War Without Wounds choked with emotions.

”What nonsense are you talking about? I merely saved you because we won't be attaining a 'perfect' score if you die, which in turn will decrease our earnings of gold coins and experience points by quite a lot,” Gu Fei bluntly said, putting emphasis on 'gold coins'. Gu Fei was sorely in need of money right now. He had incurred a debt of 1800 gold coins, after all.

Seeing that War Without Wounds had been saved, Brother Assist quickly asked, ”What's the number? Did you write it down or not?!”

War Without Wounds was in tears right now, ”Is there even anyone who cares for my well-being?!”

As he said that, Royal God Call's voice came over, gazing on War Without Wounds wistfully, ”Why didn't you die? What a waste.”

Gu Fei inclined his head, ”See? At least someone cares if you're dead or alive.”

War Without Wounds bawled his eyes out.

Silver Moon mercenary group only had three men left. With the death of their sole offensive force, the remaining three were clueless on what they should do next. Meanwhile, the men of Young Master's Elite had finally settled down after all those bickering. Both sides lined themselves up across one another, staring one another down.

Brother Assist was crestfallen upon learning that not one piece of data had been collected before. His situation was akin to a gamer who had fought a monster that dropped a top-grade equipment, only for him to fail at picking it up. With no one moving or saying a word, Brother Assist fearlessly taunted the two Guardians, ”I dare you to charge at me!”

Silver Moon bewilderedly stared at him, thinking that he had gone mad. Even now, he still did not notice that Brother Assist and the lot were actually trying to discover the stats of his King's Blade.

Silver Moon's gaze only emboldened Brother Assist further, ”What are you looking at? Come and slay me if you've got the balls!”

The calm and collected Sword Demon dragged Brother Assist to the side, ”I've taken note of the damage from their Charge.”

Brother Assist was overjoyed, and he happily requested the damage output data from Sword Demon. This was the last figure he needed to complete his calculation regarding Silver Moon's skill.

Noting down the figure in his little booklet, Brother Assist finally revealed a sated smile as he completed his calculations, ”Looks like it bolsters their stats, such as speed and HP, by around 15% all at once. That's OP, alright!”

”But the skill's cool-down time is about ten minutes, and it can only be channeled for twenty-five seconds, so it can only provide a sudden burst in attack,” Young Master Han added.

”Why do I feel like it's not just twenty-five seconds back in Yueye City? It seems longer then!” Royal God Call said.

The few of them continued to chat and discuss this matter, totally disregarding the three enemies before them as if they were just part of the scenery.

Silver Moon felt shocked upon learning that his opponents had managed to uncover every detail of his King's Command skill. At this time, Gu Fei stepped forward with a smile on his lips, ”Let them keep talking, and let's continue where we left off!”

Silver Moon carefully gazed at the six men before him, smiling in returning, ”No need. We've lost.” With that, he nodded toward his two men and the three of them disappeared in flashes of white light.

”What happened?” Gu Fei asked, baffled.

”They forfeited,” Young Master Han replied passively.

”What a pity!” Gu Fei sighed, ”I've only managed to slice him once.”

”You will get your chance in the future,” Young Master Han said, ”That look he gave us before disappearing is filled with hatred, so it's only a matter of time before he settles the score with us for that grudge in Yueye City and for our action that ruined his plan today.”

”Oh, how I await that day, then,” Gu Fei said wistfully.
