Chapter 331: Rescue (2/2)

(For the God of Games loves the world-even those who don’t believe in him has the right to his mercy. Under his wise and gallant guidance, it is time to show who the Players are to the ignorant who had yet to put their faith in him!)

[Quest objective: With Players ‘Simba’ in command, evacuate as many citizens of Crookes to safety as it is possible, thereby elevating the reputation of the Church of Games in these parts.)

[Quest Rewards: Each participating Player will receive a time-limited Resurrection Ankh (disappears automatically in 12 hours), 1 to 3 level 30 blue or purple item containers depending on performance)

[Note: Attacking unreasonable brutes with non-lethal blows would not result in red-naming. Please do not hold back from beating up any immoral thug who can’t listen to others.]

The trio stared at the new quest in surprise.

Zazu was the first one to react.

“He really is the God of Games! He is always watching over us.” He beamed.

Having been orphaned as a child, having such a great power supporting him felt wonderful.

Hence, he turned towards Simba. “If it was you, I think you would selflessly try to save others even if you only had one life.”

With that, he leaped off the roof.

While the third and fourth-rate Players were busy aiding and guiding the fleeing citizens, a fierce battle was being waged on the other side.

The Red Eyes Black Dragon had taken to the skies as it breathed waves of flames from its maw that resembled red lotuses.

The blazing flames detonated over the craggy skin of the Tunnel Eye Snake.

But nothing happened.The monster merely kept its head low as it continued towards the city of Crookes. It simply collided with the Red Eyes Black Dragon when it stood before it, reducing it into a bundle of flames that vanished into thin air.

In the distance, Edward’s face had turned pale-white.

“Even a level fifty Colored Skill has no effect… could my theory really be wrong?” He wasn’t close at all, but Edward could still see everything His Red Eyes Dark Dragoon Blast had struck the Tunnel Eye Serpent’s body, but it didn’t hit the targeted Illum crystal—when the flames were about to reach it, a thin screen of light resembling a soap bubble appeared over it.

It blocked the black dragon’s flames even though it would burst with the slightest touch.

“Sniping doesn’t work either… the bolts would rebound by some passive ability when it pierces the screen, and explosive arrows wouldn’t detonate…” Gou Dan added with a frown. “It’s meaningless for normal arrows to pierce its body too, since it is all rock.”

“The distance is just too far. How about we try attacking from a closer range?” Joe, who lacked any long-range attack as a swordsman suggested. “Well, we could give it try.” Edward gambled since things had come to this. “Joe, bring Eleena along. Doug, we’re up.”

“Edward, wait!”

That was when Joe cried out in disbelief while staring behind them. “The sack… Eleena is gone!”
