Chapter 303: The Church of Mephisto
Late night, seaside cottage.
FrozenCloud’s room was on the second floor, right beside Wu Na’s. She was on the balcony, enjoying the sea breeze. She looked over and saw Wu Na strumming a guitar. This was the sort of life she wanted, with nothing restricting her, no one expecting things from her, and no one comparing her. She made a very satisfied smile, and began singing with the beat, “The image fades, the night darkens, but my heart…”
Wu Na peaked over and smiled. “Nice, you sing very well. You can follow the harmony without looking at the notes, and even make your own melody.”
“I’m a Music and Acting double major. Music wise, I’m pretty good at piano, DJ, guitar, and cello, but what I’m best at is blowing things, like flutes…” FrozenCloud shrugged.
Wu Na nodded, but felt like her words were sort of strange. Good at blowing things? It’s all because of those damn guys that I’m having these messed up thoughts. Now just hearing blowing and I think of inappropriate things.
The next day.
They returned to the game. Ye Cang once again brought everyone out exploring. According to Little Ye Tian’s map, they returned to the place where they had stopped last time. Little Ye Tian had left a mark there on her map. “This is Azeri Cliff. The terrain is very steep, so not many people come here. This is one of the places with a higher chance to host a cult.”
“Let’s go up and look.” Ye Cang brought everyone up the mountain. It really was very steep, with sheer cliffs everywhere, and there was no trail or path to follow. They had to rely on climbing or travelling through the mountain forests to ascend. The demon beasts were fairly concentrated due to the terrain. On the way, they managed to kill many. After more than half a day, they only made it to a cliff to about the halfway point. Ye Cang looked down at the path they had climbed. It was so rugged and steep that he felt nauseous just looking at it. SpyingBlade noticed that behind a stone, there was a mark. He waved everyone over, “There’s a hidden mark…”
Everyone encircled it. Little Ye Tian began to search her memory bank. “I’m sure now. It’s the design of the Church of Mephisto. It’s meaning is unknown, but we can be sure that there must be people from the church of mephisto around here.”
“Church of Mephisto?” SpyingBlade inquired.
“Just like its name, they worship one of the four great evil gods, the immortal demonic spirit – Mephisto. He’s an existence that is both demon and spirit, and has an extreme hate for the church and the war god’s temple, but they are also enemies with the hall of shadows.” Little Ye Tian explained what she knew. It was mostly what she learned from books.
“We can go up from here…” Ye Cang said, circling around to the side. Immediately, everyone walked up the narrow slope near the mark and arrived at a chasm with a wooden suspension bridge which connected to the other side. Ye Cang motioned for everyone to back up a bit, and not cross the edge. He carefully stuck his head out, and his eagles eyes allowed him to look across, to see if there was anything strange. On the other side was a white and black robed mage, who was walking across the suspension bridge towards them. On his chest was the same secret mark.
“There’s a mage believer coming across the bridge. Everyone prepare an ambush. We have to take him out instantly so as to not alert the enemies. FrozenCloud, keep him under control…” Ye Cang said, rejoining the group. FrozenCloud nodded, extending her claws.
Ye Cang used the sound of footsteps to estimate the distance. “10, 9, 8, …, 3, 2, 1! Go!”
Everyone jumped out slope. FrozenCloud directly pounced over, knocking him to the ground, and covered his mouth. Her other hand stabbed her claw into his neck. Lin Le directly used Execute. FrozenCloud quickly released her hand, dodging the heavy strike. She got up, and let the others attack. The heavy blade directly chopped into his head.
Ye Cang reached out and looted nothing at all. “I knew he was going down to purchase equipment. We killed him too early. We should have killed him after he made his purchase. Right now, he’s got nothing at all. Let’s go…”
Everyone watched him make a show of it, and all sighed. Thankfully it was just a measly elite. They followed him across the bridge, and the once again killed someone with an ambush. Lin Le managed to loot a mephisto believer’s robe.

“The attributes aren’t bad, and the requirements are easy enough to reach. It can be considered an amazing item amongst masterworks.” Wang said. No one else really cared about it, except Wu Na. Besides Wu Na and himself, the rest were decked out in distinguished quality items. As for Ye Cang, distinguished wasn’t even good enough for him anymore, he wanted a full set of gold quality equipment.
