Chapter 329: Internal Strife (1/2)
Hmph hmph! Beiming hadn’t become stronger. It was they who’d become weaker since they had chosen to join Roaming Dragon and rob others for a living.
A path to the front of the divine site hall appeared, and I immediately rushed through the entrance!
Swoosh!
I had my guard up—literally with the Guard skill—because I was worried that someone might attack as I charged through, but my caution turned out to be completely unnecessary. A large group of players were fighting against each other far away from me, and I saw Warsky plunging his sword into Pillar of the Nation’s chest. The latter stared at the sword in his chest for a moment before looking up at Warsky. “You… you shameless, backstabbing ally murderer…”
Warsky smiled at his comment. “Cut the act already, will you? You think I don’t know that you were plotting with Dominating Heaven Blade to stab us in the back? Well, Farewell Song had already taken care of your ally, so may you rest in peace…”
Crack!
Just like that, Warsky killed Pillar of the Nation and sent him back to the city. I was stunned, to be honest. I wasn’t expecting to be treated to a scene straight out of a movie the moment I came in. Interesting!
……
Not far away, Dominating Knight God and Dominating Warrior God worked together to drop October Rain to red health in two hits. Furious, Laughing at the Heavens raised his sword and shouted, “Don’t even think about hurting our girl!”
Laughing at the Heavens rushed toward Dominating Warrior God like lightning and slashed him twice in the back while October Rain backed away, killing the guy instantly. Dominating Warrior God dropped all his stat points into Strength, and his equipment wasn’t particularly outstanding. With only 4200 max HP, he was incapable of withstanding Laughing at the Heavens’ combo at all.
October Rain didn’t stop attacking Dominating Knight God even as she ran away to safety. Her accuracy was uncanny, and Dominating Knight God’s HP dropped to the red in just the blink of an eye. He was about to run away when a red flash appeared behind his back and cut through his body like nothing. It was Farewell Song delivering the fatal blow and dealing over 3000 damage in one hit!
Thump!
Dominating Knight God dropped to his knees and scattered into sparks just like that.
While Warsky was clearing out the remnants of Hegemon Palace, Farewell Song, October Rain, Laughing at the Heavens, and a hundred or so Warsky Alliance players annihilated the rest of the Gods of Destruction in just the blink of an eye…
……
Speaking of which, I had been standing here for over a minute already, but no one had noticed me yet. Was my presence really that weak?
Rustle rustle…
“Eh, let’s wait just a little longer…”
It was at this moment Warsky finally noticed me. He immediately raised his sword and shouted, “Fuck! All hands, red alert! Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand and Wind Fantasy are here! We aren’t gonna have a moment of peace as long as they’re around, so let’s take them out right here and now!”
Farewell Song, Laughing at the Heavens, and October Rain immediately rushed toward us, although Farewell Song went into stealth and vanished into thin air halfway. The next time he showed himself, someone would almost certainly be one-shot!
The good news was that we weren’t alone anymore. Around ninety or so Snow Cathaya and Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls players were pouring through the entrance behind our backs. They made sure to spread out so that Warsky and Laughing at the Heavens couldn’t destroy us all with their AoE skills. It would be unwise to repeat Gods of Destruction’s mistake!
……
“Hah!”
High Fighting Spirits shouted and cut down a Warsky Alliance assassin with his axe. He sensed something and looked up reflexively, but he was struck by seven or eight arrows before he could react and was forced to retreat. The enemy’s firepower was just too overwhelming, and even Purple Marquis was forced back by a couple of Ice Dragon Howls after unleashing just one aura attack.
“Aaaah…”
Three of Snow Cathaya’s core players weren’t as lucky as he was. The enemy’s archers were very well organized, and there were almost a hundred of them. Long story short, it was a goddamned nightmare trying to survive their combined assault. Purple Marquis had tried to take them out with an AoE skill after he returned to full health, but he was put to the red and forced back again before he even could get close enough to do anything!
Lin Yixin shot me a glance, and I understood her meaning immediately. I nodded and said, “I’ll go first. You need to clear out those archers with your Ice Flame Slash. Think you can do it?”
“If you survive, then yes!”
“Got it!”
Maybe it was because I had grinded with Lin Yixin a lot, but there seemed to be an excellent rapport between the two of us. We exchanged a glance with each other before splitting away and charging toward the archer group from two different directions. I was slightly ahead of Lin Yixin since my goal was to attract the enemy’s firepower!
Thousand Mirage Slash only had a range of 9 yards, or 10 if I only targeted the front row. This meant that I would have to endure 30 yards of focus fire before I could get close enough to hit anyone. It was going to be a painful process!
October Rain was standing at the front of the archer group and aiming her bow at me. She shouted, “Target Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand! Devil Piercing Arrows ready, loose!”
Twang twang twang twang!
I felt a chill in my heart as countless arrows flew my way. God damn, this is going to hurt!
I immediately held my sword in front of my face and tightened my defense!
Thud thud thud...
121!
5!
74!
……
Columns of damage numbers floated above my head. None of the archers managed to deal too much damage to me, but together they managed to delete over half of my HP in just the blink of an eye. There were just too many of them!
+3000!
