427 Chapter 427 - The Blind Gu Fei (1/2)

Royal God Call was inflamed that his lack of sense of direction had become the source of ridicule of his most hated rival, Drifting. He continued to squawk about having a deathmatch with the man, but no one naturally bothered to humor him. Gu Fei nodded toward Drifting. ”We're in the middle of something, so we'll take our leave first.”

Royal God Call was still yelling at Drifting even when Gu Fei let go of the curtain and separated him from the man. ”Let's leave,” Gu Fei said. Unexpectedly, he heard the curtain being parted from behind him. Drifting took the initiative to approach them this time, asking, ”Is there a matter you need help with?”

”We don't need your help! An idiot like you will only make a mess of things!” Royal God Call yelled.

”Are you free?” Gu Fei asked.

”We're really bored,” Drifting stated, ”but we don't wish to grind in this accursed region, either.”

”You're probably afraid you can't find your way home in this heavy fog. Ha ha ha ha ha!” To dare ridicule someone of being cardinally challenged when he was one himself, Royal God Call was truly thick-skinned.

Drifting shot him a look before continuing his conversation with Gu Fei. ”We were originally planning to randomly look around for a quest or mission to take on, but we figured you guys are involved in something more interesting.”

”It's nothing, really. We're only on the hunt for Southern Lone Blade. Have you seen him?” Gu Fei asked.

”Nope. Is he here, too?” Drifting asked back.

”We're not sure ourselves, but wherever it is, do hit me up if you see him,” Gu Fei said.

Gu Fei naturally needed no help when it came to slaying others. He just had to know his target's location, so all the help he needed was in the searching. This was a rather boring request to Drifting, but he could only nod. ”Will do.”

Bidding each other goodbye, Drifting returned to that room. Royal God Call grumbled and disgruntledly muttered yet still followed Gu Fei out of the tavern. Who would have guessed that, the moment they stepped out of the establishment, they would bore witness to a scene of PvP?

It was a man against a woman – a Warrior versus a Mage.

The two were astonished by what they were seeing, since the woman was actually that beautiful ice queen they had seen from the third room in the tavern, and the male opponent was actually War Without Wounds!

Both parties clashed.

The lady's magic staff swiped outward with a blue afterglow, looking as cold as her countenance.

War Without Wounds proudly held his claymore upright with just one hand. He was an expert in every sense of the word, after all.

However, even though the claymore was in his hand, the expert did not make a move to strike.

That was because he was frozen there like the idiot he was.

This was when Gu Fei and Royal God Call realized that what they were actually seeing was the end of the PvP battle.

War Without Wounds was not actually completely frozen, but his actions were extremely sluggish when compared to that lady who was already done with chanting her spell and was now raising her staff to cast it. Death was all that awaited him. While he was agonizing over this fact, he spied Gu Fei and Royal God Call walking out of the tavern, and his frown instantly turned upside down.

”QUICKLY SAVE ME!” The message this expert sent over was quick.

The lady's Arctic Whirlwind had been unleashed and was on its unerring path toward War Without Wounds. It was already impossible to interrupt the spell at this point. Gu Fei had no choice but to Blink right in front of War Without Wounds and swing out with a Twin Incineration.

The two spells collided, and the Verdict favored the one with a higher damage output, which was Gu Fei in this case, dissipating that Arctic Whirlwind in one smooth stroke.

”1, 2, 3, 4, 5…” Royal God Call was counting. The Mage in his bones was already calculating the duration of War Without Wounds' Frozen state. War Without Wounds finally regained control of his body once he reached number 5.

The lady's eyes showed the slightest glimmer of surprise when she witnessed Gu Fei suddenly Blink over and dissipate her Arctic Whirlwind in a single move, yet she remained quiet as she coldly regarded the three players before her.

Gu Fei was in an awkward spot. While War Without Wounds could be considered as an apex expert in MMOs, he was not really the arrogant sort. Ever since their first meeting, Gu Fei had pegged him as a calm and collected person. It was only after that incident with Amethyst Rebirth that War Without Wounds finally revealed his real nature to Gu Fei, so if this person had run into any trouble, he believed it was likely due to this nature of his.
