259 Chapter 259 - A Vicious Cycle of Death (1/2)

”Stop with your nonsense and give me a hand!” Young Master Han's focus was on the rest of The Black Hand mercenary group that was heading toward this mountain's vantage point and did not even register Drifting and the other players presently with him.

”Drifting, let's have a deathmatch!” Royal God Call quickly issued this challenge as he rushed forward before stopping in his tracks and asking, ”Wait. Which one are you?”

Being an expert gamer himself, he easily figured out what was going on and knew that the many Driftings before him were the products of a duplication spell of sort. Still, Royal God Call reckoned it would be satisfying to vent his frustration on all the four Driftings.

”Bullsh*t! You clearly know which one it is!” Gu Fei shouted, irked.

Royal God Call's question was really silly. Anyone with half a brain would be able to tell at a glance that Gu Fei had the real Drifting pinned down upon seeing the three duplicates struggling on the ground without anyone pinning them down! It would be too undignified of the real Drifting to fake this one so thoroughly.

After adding two and two together, Royal God Call cheerfully ran over to Gu Fei. He then chortled at Drifting, ”Pffft! What a pleb. To think I'd see the day you would be in this state!”

Gu Fei felt like cursing the idiotic brat! He only had meager Strength as a Mage. Currently, Gu Fei was exerting all of it to keep Drifting pinned down. If his arm slackened even a bit, it would naturally result to Drifting managing to complete his incantation!

Royal God Call was still laughing with mad glee when the enemy Thief rushed in and Right Hand of Cool fired off an arrow. Royal God Call recovered himself enough to return fire at Right Hand of Cool after dodging the latter's arrow. He was quick-witted enough to recognize that engaging a Thief in melee was disadvantageous despite being an expert and decided to focus on contending with Right Hand of Cool at long range.

”D*mn!” Gu Fei was infuriated by Royal God Call's act of abandoning him. He had no way to deal with the Thief as his hands were still covering Drifting's mouth. Gu Fei was absolutely disgruntled for getting himself into such a quandary now that Royal God Call was no longer around to lend him a hand. If he freed Drifting's mouth, he would still be in trouble in the event that the latter completed his incantation.

Fortunately, 'some' members of Young Master's Elite were rather reliable in times of crisis like this. When Royal God Call was lured away by Right Hand of Cool, War Without Wounds bodily slammed the Thief using Charge and plunged his claymore to the enemy's waist diagonally just as Gu Fei was about to be stabbed by the Thief.

A pain-filled scream escaped the Thief's lips as he was hurtled outward with the collision. He was right beside the mountain side, so he ended up tumbling down the steep slope; his scream echoed all the way down to the base of the mountain. Those on the mountain momentarily stopped their fighting to look down the mountain.

”That's very cruel,” Left Hand of Love remarked.

”Yeah!” Sword Demon nodded his head in agreement.

”It's too much!” Royal God Call quipped.

”It's not intentional,” War Without Wounds feebly explained. He used Charge at that moment since he deemed it to be the most suitable method to alleviate the situation.

In the distance, the rest of The Black Hand mercenary group heard the bloodcurdling scream of the Thief tumbling down the mountain and stopped in their tracks to talk about it.

”What was that?” someone asked with trepidation.

”Sounds like a ferocious beast.”

”Could it be a pet?”

”Parallel World has pets?”

All discussed the matter as they continued climbing up the mountain.

While the rest were viewing the Thief's journey to the foot of the mountain, the infuriated Gu Fei remained occupied with keeping Drifting pinned down. He could only do this for fear of the latter successfully casting Blossoming Crimson Lotus.

The others listened to the Thief's scream echo about for a bit before realizing that they were in the middle fighting with one another. Left Hand of Love was currently beside Sword Demon, so the two promptly began exchanging blows in rapid succession. Royal God Call was beside Right Hand of Cool, and both pulled away from each other before firing arrows at each other back and forth. War Without Wounds returned to Gu Fei's side to help him get rid of Drifting, yet Royal God Call anxiously shouted, ”No! Leave that guy to me!”

”Go to f*ck*ng hell! It's crunch time!” Gu Fei could no longer hold himself back from cursing Royal God Call. He was always minding his language due to his profession as a teacher back in reality, but life happened to deal him a poor hand this time around. Gu Fei's sudden use of foul language only highlighted his struggle at the moment, so why would War Without Wounds not lend him a hand?

Royal God Call seemed to have vowed to take down Drifting himself. When he saw War Without Wounds ignoring his cry to stay his hand, he decidedly yelled out, ”Young Master!” Ignoring Right Hand of Cool, he fired off an arrow on Snipe at the pinned Drifting.
