474 Chapter 474 - Caught in a Trap (1/2)

Drifting was polished in his spell execution and his Magic Attack Power was extremely high, so avoiding it in that small room was exceptionally difficult. Plus, it seemed that he had done his homework about unleashing spells within such limited spaces. Drifting had proven himself to have quite an extraordinary talent toward this, so Gu Fei did not dare be careless against it. Seeing Drifting move in this manner, he quickly used his kill move – an attack that merged both Blink and Twin Incineration.

Icy Mirage!

Drifting was also quick with his casting after long hours of practice, instantly completing the necessary incantation crisply. With that slash from Gu Fei, the Drifting before him shattered to the ground like a broken ice sculpture, releasing swirling icy vapor upon contact.

It was a fake! Gu Fei hurriedly looked all around him and was taken aback by what he saw. Out of the Four Driftings that had been conjured from the Icy Mirage, one was shattered by Gu Fei, two were in the opposite corners of the room, and one was currently floating outside the window.

Furthermore, it was this Drifting floating outside that was waving his hand to Gu Fei. ”I'm gonna take my leave first, Miles bro.” With that, he began his descent to the ground.

Before Gu Fei could even react, another figure bolted right over to the window and leaped right out; it was Left Hand of Love using Spurring Meteor to jump off.

Gu Fei hurried over the window and saw as the two in the middle of their descent to the ground outside. Left Hand of Love reached out to grab hold of Drifting's legs, activating his Seismic Toss an entire floor before they landed.

Drifting was thrown down to the ground like this, but even though he suffered damage from the skill, he managed to survive the fall since this allowed him to avoid the fall damage. Meanwhile, Left Hand of Love used his Sparrow Dropkick on the wall and successfully redirected his body's fall trajectory. Even though he ended up tumbling quite a few times when he landed, he too did not injure himself too much as well.

At the same time, Gu Fei heard a sound coming from behind and turned to see Right Hand of Cool dashing away.

Gu Fei sighed and did not bother to give chase. Right Hand of Cool was Six – the one Gu Fei had tried catching up back when he was being led to meet the group by the ruins. It was apparent that the two of them had about the same movement speed since Gu Fei was unable to get near Six back then.

This was also about the time when Drifting sent a message to him: ”Why did you rush over to the window? I can't help you any longer…”

Gu Fei laughed coldly. He knew what Drifting meant was that since he ran to the window, the people below had already spotted him and Drifting could no longer cover for him.

While what he had said made sense, was it not human nature for Gu Fei to head over to take a look after seeing the two of them leap out a window like that? Drifting could not have failed to expect this, given how well-thought-out Drifting's plan was. That man was clearly aware that facing off against Gu Fei was unideal, which led him and his companion to turn tail and flee; blaming Gu Fei for being ignorant was just being injurious.

Gu Fei did not bother to reply, yet another message soon followed: ”I am rather curious to see how you're gonna escape from this, however, so I'll be waiting here in the courtyard to watch your performance.”

Gu Fei chuckled. How am I gonna escape? In truth, he had already formulated a plan in his mind. Even though it was not necessarily a very honorable plan, he really had no other choice left.

Gu Fei left the room and immediately went to the third floor. Entering the Vigilante Corps Chamber, he briefly interacted with Giordano. The NPC immediately commended his action, clearly indicating his completion of the 'Daily Bounty Mission'. With the experience and gold coins awarded, Gu Fei was rather curious as to what sort of punishment Cool Apple received. Unfortunately for him, Giordano did not provide any further information regarding this. Gu Fei took a look at the time, headed over to the couch, and buried his head into the plush cushion, and promptly fell asleep...

In the courtyard outside the Government City Hall, Drifting and Left Hand of Love were rather exhausted after leaping out of the building. The people around them would never have thought that the two had actually taken the initiative to leap out the window to escape with their lives and, instead, assumed that the duo were survivors of a fierce fight.

”That's what it takes to be an expert, alright…” Spotting that Mage standing by the window ledge, everybody naturally assumed that the man had forced the two right out the window. There was supposed to be an Archer with the two; was that man killed by now?

As they were wondering about this, they saw Right Hand of Cool dashing out of the main entrance to the Government City Hall in a hurry. Looking particularly battered, he cried out the moment he saw the people, ”Too strong!”

That was when Three Sighs of Flowing Maple came to Drifting's side. ”Brother Drifting, thank you for your hard work!” Instead of hurrying to ask about the result of their mission inside, he made sure to show his concern to his comrade first. It could be said that Three Sighs of Flowing Maple was rather diligent when it came to showing the necessary traits of a leader.

Drifting chuckled weakly as he regretfully answered, ”It's a pity I didn't manage to complete my mission.”

Everybody looked up to that window, but Gu Fei could no longer be spotted from there.

”How many people are still inside?” Three Sighs of Flowing Maple asked.

”Just the one,” Drifting replied.

”And the rest are eliminated?” Three Sighs of Flowing Maple was still rather happy about this. Without Drifting, all they could do was watch as the lot of them made it into the building. Who knew what sort of shenanigans they could have gotten into there? With just one player left inside, the troubles they were in had more or less been reduced by quite a bit.

”They are all eliminated except for that last one who is simply too difficult to take on,” Drifting answered.

”Yes, leave the rest to us,” Three Sighs of Flowing Maple said. Drifting and his two companions looked worse than wear one after another; Three Sighs of Flowing Maple naturally felt awkward to ask them to give it another shot.
