Chapter 202: Mad Slaughter (1/2)
Swhoosh!
My body dissolved into several rays of bloody light and seeped into the ground. A war was about to break out, and the best thing I, a spectator, could do was slip underground and hide from everything. No one would notice me, and Earth Escape wouldn’t cancel on its own unless I was hit by a physical or magical skill. There weren’t many people at the corner of the plaza I was occupying, so it was highly unlikely that I would get hit. If someone was that bad at the game that they would throw a random skill at a spot where no one was, then I supposed I would grant them the honor and send them back to the city personally.
……
The Spirit Hall plaza was illuminated by dark energy. It was a domain of the undead, so a thin fog of death energy was covering the blue floor. Players were pouring into the plaza by the second, and the sound of war boots striking against the floor was loud and frantic; a subtle expression of the absolute chaos on the surface.
Dominating Heaven Blade waved his sword and yelled loudly, “Charge, my brothers! Kill absolutely everyone in front of you! All 10 spots of the Devil Spirit Hall are belong to us!”
His greedy declaration sent a shiver down my spine. What kind of appetite was that? He was practically looking down on every guild and expert in Floating Ice City!
Dominating Archer God let out a roar and fired a Rank 6 Volley. The indiscriminate attack fell on the crowd and deleted three of Flower Room’s bards immediately!
Dominating Knight God activated Blaze, wrapping the tip of his spear in flames. Then, he charged into a horde of enemies and thrust it into a tactician’s chest, killing his target instantly!
Dominating Mage God was even more impudent than his brothers were, gathering his powerful magic and summoning an ice rain upon his targets. All the players caught within the spell started losing HP by the second, and the skill range was so huge that there was nowhere the players of Flower Room could hide even if they wanted to!
Furious, Li Le pointed at Dominating Mage God and shouted, “Archers, give me some Volleys and kill that mage! Fuck ‘em up!”
Thud thud thud!
The archers loosed their arrows at Dominating Mage God as he commanded. However, every single shot was deflected by his Magic Shield!
The strength of the Magic Shield scaled with mage’s Attack. Not only was Dominating Mage God incredibly high level, his equipment was also among the best of the best. For example, I could tell from a glance that his magic staff was either Gold-grade or Dark Gold–grade because it was surrounded by a golden glow. The mage laughed arrogantly after Li Le’s archers failed to penetrate his Magic Shield. “Hahaha! You noobs dare even dream of ruling Floating Ice City? What a joke! Come kill me if you dare, but don’t say I didn’t warn you that the price of failure is death!”
“Unbelievable. Under no circumstances should a mage be allowed to channel a goddamn Arctic Rain under fire. I could almost believe that this was staged if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes! Hmph! Beiming Xue would’ve turned that braggart into a pincushion in a couple of Devil Piercing Arrows at most… and what is even there to brag about anyway? Flower Room is hardly a worthy opponent…”
Suddenly, He Yi called me through the party channel: “Lu Chen, how are things going over there?”
“Oh, the people are having the party of a lifetime~~” I laughed. “Give me a second and I’ll share you the live feed. But don’t come in yet, okay? Wait until the dust is settled before you make the attempt!”
“Okay!”
A few seconds later, I shared the live feed with my whole party. The girls’ mouths fell open in shock when they saw it.
He Yi: “OMG, it’s so chaotic! I can’t even tell who’s fighting who right now, wow… my brain’s all jumbled up…”
Murong Mingyue nodded in agreement. “Same here. I recognize Young Master Le though. Since when did he grow big enough balls to fight both Gods of Destruction and Mad Dragon at the same time? So cool, so brave! This guild has a bright future ahead of them…”
I rolled my eyes at her sarcastic remark. “Fight? More like get stuck between a rock and a hard place. Just watch, Flower Room is going to be the first guild to get wiped…”
Beiming Xue said, “Where’s Spring Mud, Moon Shadow and Night Sorrow? I still can’t believe those idiots left us and joined Flower Room to this day. Should I go in there and kill them myself?”
I hurriedly stopped her. “No need, they’re going to die one way or another, so why sully your own hands with their blood? Be patient. Once it’s time I’ll come over and support you from inside.”
“Mn!”
……
Time passed little by little. As expected, Flower Room collapsed under the combined fire of Gods of Destruction and Mad Dragon, and their one hundred-man party was wiped just like that.
Spring Mud was turned into a porcupine and died under a hail of arrows.
Moon Shadow was fending off an endless sea of enemies when two swords pierced his body from two sides.
Puchi!
The man could do nothing except let out a painful groan and die.
The two attackers who took Moon Shadow’s life together came face to face with each other, and they were none other than Iron Pardon and Dominating Warrior God. These two warriors were long-time foes, and they PKed one another whenever the opportunity presented itself. As if in mutual agreement, they spat at each other’s faces. “Pooh!”
Night Sorrow tried to kite Coldmoon Rose, but he seemed to have forgotten that the latter was Roaming Dragon’s woman. Her level and equipment were nothing to scoff at, and her attack power was even higher than Night Sorrow’s. She wasn’t alone either. He quickly lost steam after taking heavy fire from Coldmoon Rose and another archer, and when he was at half health, a magic knight closed the gap and impaled him with a spear!
Puchi!
902!
Roaming Dragon pulled out his spear slowly with a savage smile on his face. He sneered at the falling man and said, “Trash. From Water must’ve lost her mind when she hired you to be the core of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls. It’s no wonder you were swept out her doorsteps the moment Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand and his gang returned to the guild. You truly are trash of the trash!”
Night Sorrow’s eyes were spitting fire, but he couldn’t deny reality. In the end, all he could do was fall to the ground and turn into a cold, lifeless corpse.
Li Le was completely dumbfounded. He was so shocked that he even forgot to swing his blade. Funnily enough, he was the last man standing in his whole party.
Dominating Heaven Blade pointed his blade at Li Le and smiled. “Kill yourself. It would dirty my blade to kill trash like you!”
Li Le stared straight into Dominating Heaven Blade’s eyes and shouted, “Fuck! Your! Mother!”
Dominating Heaven Blade responded by cutting open his throat and replying, “There’s no one I hate more than trash who talks shit about my mother!”
Finally, Gods of Destruction and Mad Dragon officially came face to face with each other after Li Le was killed.
Roaming Dragon raised his spear and shouted loudly, “For the honor of Mad Dragon, the glory of your brothers, and the beloved behind your back! Kill them all! Down with Gods of Destruction!”
In response, Dominating Heaven Blade sneered back and said, “Prepare to fight!”
Dominating Knight God and Dominating Warrior God charged forward in unison and clashed against the Gemini Stars of Mad Dragon. They dished out whatever skills they had—Blaze, Ice Ray and so on—successfully knocking each back a few steps. One HP pot later, they charged toward each other again!
