Chapter 580: The Battle over Agave (2/2)

”Fucking hell, you’re trying to be a smartass, huh?” the magic knight roared. A bloody light shone from the broadaxe in his hand as he spurred his warhorse toward me. He yelled, ”You can take that smart mouth of yours to the grave! The dignity of the Mad Dragon guild is not to be impinged!”

”You’re looking to die!” the magic knight roared in anger. He suddenly activated his Charge skill, fiery energy erupting from the blade of his battle axe.

A smirk immediately formed on my face. This dumbass was a Level 127 magic knight but he was a fucking noob! He actually thought that he could use a simple Charge to hit an unmounted warrior? His warhorse wasn’t anything special either, so its turn rate had to be pretty abysmal. He’d basically doomed himself the moment he activated Charge. I only needed to shift slightly to the left or right to dodge his attack and the two seconds he would need to slow his horse down was all I needed to kill this hapless fool.

As my feet danced across the ground, I made a diagonal cut to my right and appeared three yards away from where I had previously been standing. This simple movement caused the magic knight’s rage to instantly vanish from his face. A look of shock soon replaced that rage as he realized that he hadn’t run into some noob. This was a second-class expert at the very least! He wouldn’t be able to deal with him as easily as he had originally thought!

MISS!

Just as I had predicted, the magic knight and his horse continued to charge forward several yards even after missing me with his attack. His mount’s abysmal turn rate also prevented him from whirling around to defend against my attacks, so I rushed in with my blade raised high in the air. I stamped on the ground, and an Eight Trigrams formation lit up the ground. A blazing spiral of indigo energy formed on the tip of the Cyan Netherworld Sword as it drilled through the magic knight’s shield and armor. I immediately followed that up with Burning Blade Slash. Three howling blades of fiery sword energy smashed into the unlucky magic knight as four damage numbers popped up above his head.

22098!

8762!

11023!

15239!

This magic knight’s Defense wasn’t bad, but his ruined body was still sent tumbling to the ground by my flurry attack. Even his warhorse had been killed by the explosions of flame.

The Mad Dragon players standing behind the magic knight stared at me with widened eyes. ”That son of a bitch just killed Second Brother! Charge! Let’s kill this bastard and take revenge!”

I couldn’t help but grin when I heard those words. I stretched out a leg to kick up the broadaxe that the magic knight had dropped. Tsk, it was only a 1-star Outstanding Purple Gold–grade item. I kicked the shitty piece of iron contemptuously aside. This piece of trash wasn’t worth picking up.

”Hey, Second Brother’s weapon…”

The eyes of the dozen Mad Dragon players followed the arc of the flying broadaxe. After that, all of them immediately started scrambling after it. Just because I didn’t want the item didn’t mean that other people wouldn’t want it.

I took advantage of this moment of this distraction to dash forward and shoot Thousand Ice Slash in the direction of the broadaxe.

Boom!

Thousands of blades of icy sword energy erupted out of the Cyan Netherworld Sword before crashing into the crowd of players. All of them instantly collapsed to the floor in the aftermath of my attack. The archers and mages had been one-shot, and a few of the warriors followed soon after due to splash damage. My already insane attack power had been further boosted by Martial God’s 193%, so I had been able to send most of these scrubs to the grave with a single attack.

My sword drew a brilliant arc in the air as I cut through the remaining fighters. Not having much health left, all of them collapsed to the ground in a heap. Only a few seconds had passed since I had kicked that broadaxe away, but all of my enemies had been cleaved to death. That Level 121 warrior was now a Level 120. He stared at the Purple Gold–grade broadaxe longingly as he toppled to the ground. He then shot me a glare of resentment as he said, ”That was too underhanded...”

……

I grinned as I looked at the array of equipment on the ground. It'd be a waste to just leave them lying on the ground, so I picked up all of the items, the Purple Gold–grade broadaxe included. I would sell them all when I returned to the city. I should be able to get a few grand for them. It was better than nothing!

I took a quick look around the area. There were definitely a lot of Mad Dragon players in Windmill Forest, and once news of this battle spread, the other players would start closing in on my position. Once that happened, it was very likely that I would soon be encircled and ambushed.

I wasn’t scared of taking on a few dozen people at once, but if there were too many enemies, a few concentrated barrages from a group of mages was still enough to send me to heaven! The thought of thousands of Ice Arrows, Windblades, and Fireballs smashing into my body instantly sent a shudder down my spine. Damn, the mere thought alone caused goosebumps to appear on my skin. Yup, I’m not gonna be a training dummy for Mad Dragon!

I continued to search for new dragon bones. While I was exploring the forest, I suddenly saw a large group of people burst out from the east. Shockingly enough, Inconstant was leading this group of people. He was riding a high-grade warhorse as he surveyed the area. ”Goddammit, all of them had been killed off so quickly. Just who the hell is this OP son of a bitch? I can’t believe he killed all of them so quickly…”

A Level 120 mage at his side replied, ”None of the ones who died could identify him. Their levels weren’t very high, so they couldn’t even see how high the enemy player’s level was. That means that his level is definitely higher than 135…”

Inconstant gritted his teeth in disbelief and frustration. ”There are only around twenty players in the entire Sky City whose level is higher than 135! What is this dogshit luck of ours? Which expert did we offend this time?!” He ruminated for a moment before exploding. “Ahhh, who cares! We’ll find this guy, no matter what! We’ll even flip the entire Windmill Forest upside down if we have to! After that, we’ll rip him to shreds!”

My body trembled with barely-restrained laughter. Fuck, that punk Inconstant was getting a little too big for his britches!

The same mage replied, ”Brother Inconstant, you should go over and help our boss. It seems like there’s a guild killing a boss over where he is. The guild leader wants to take advantage of the situation and kill both the boss monster and the guild once the boss monster’s HP has dropped to 10%!”

Inconstant grinned. ”Alright, I got it. I’ll head over immediately. I want the rest of you to keep looking. Hmph, our imperial-grade herbalist is about to arrive. It’s said that these Agave plants are necessary to create Rank 10 assassin poisons. We need to monopolize the market while we can! Heh heh!”
