Chapter 437 - Shadow Cloudfall (1/2)

When the massive army was approaching from afar, Jiang Fei took the time and picked up as many equipment that were dropped by the players that he had killed. Naturally, he prioritized the equipment from the highest to the lowest tier.

Cosmic Dragon's equipment were all left untouched. He had his reason in doing so. Even though Cosmic Dragon was annoying and arrogant, he did let Jiang Fei walk away after the first fight. Jiang Fei did not force himself to fight back. If he wanted to go all out, Jiang Fei could have just let Isabella kill him easily. Nevertheless, since Cosmic Dragon had shown "mercy", it was only fair if he had spared him, even if it was just his equipment.

The second reason for not picking his equipment was Cosmic Dragon's equipment suitability. Heavy Armor magicians were rare and no ordinary magicians would want that. Magic Attack Plate Armor could not be worn by just any average player. Even the healer-base Knight was only wearing the Chain Armor instead of Plate Armor. The attribute of Cosmic Dragon's armor was not suitable for others as well. Picking them up would be a waste of space since no one would want them. Jiang Fei had shown him mercy by not picking up the "trash" equipment, giving the impression that he was giving a chance to Cosmic Dragon.

While Jiang Fei was picking up the rest of the players' dropped equipment, the large army had already arrived and surrounded Jiang Fei from all directions. Even though the system notification was intriguing, most of the attention was placed on Jiang Fei.

"Verdure Glider has gone too far! He could kill other players in another city! This is outrageous!"

Despite killing only a small number of players, the entire mass was led to believe that Jiang Fei had purposely killed the players as an attack on Saintlight City. Their assumption was only made stronger since Jiang Fei had publicly announced his challenge.

"Damn! Where did that bastard go? How dare he come to make a mess in Saintlight City!"

"We'll show him who's boss here! One man against a whole city? Like hell we would lose!"

…

Almost all players who were surrounding Jiang Fei were pug players. Only a handful of them were members of smaller guilds. Larger and more organized guilds would not send out their members for something as menial as this.

Any group of players that resembled a proper guild would have a proper scout team. Their roles were as simple as observing and reporting to the guild master. Before facing any challenges, the scout team would take into account the threat level, success rate, cost, benefits, and planning before taking further actions.

Naturally, players of Saintlight City did not know Jiang Fei that well. However, the efficient ones immediately logged out of the game to do some research on him on the internet. In no time at all, larger guilds had gotten some information about Jiang Fei's estimated strength. They now know that Jiang Fei had a pet dragon and had the ability to summon a black dragon that possessed a Forbidden Spell that would kill over 100,000 players instantly.

With that information in hand, the larger guilds had made their decision. Winning would only bring them fame. If they included the other pug players, they might stand a chance. However, the likelihood of Jiang Fei using the Forbidden Spell was high. Hence, their decision was not to interfere with whatever Jiang Fei was doing. In the worst case scenario where Jiang Fei attacked the city directly, they would mobilize their entire guild to retaliate.

Currently, those who had surrounded Jiang Fei were either brainless or emotional players who could not think for even a second about the consequences of their actions. The total number of players then had easily exceeded 100,000 but neither one of them had started to attack. The reason was simple. Even though Jiang Fei had only just returned to his normal form after his Demon form had expired, the dragon that was beside him was scary. A huge eight-meter long armored dragon was not something that any Tom, Dick, and Harry could kill.

Jiang Fei rode the Juvenile Skygliding Dragon and hovered in the sky with a hammer that was still crackling with lightning. Even though he was surrounded by a sea of angry mob, he was not scared. His dominating aura was so powerful that he could frighten the weak-hearted easily with a single look.
