Chapter 746 - Darkness Falls (XIII) (2/2)

The premise was to ignore her terrifying strength.

In the game, many players discussed this question—why didn’t Erin join the war between the Country of Darkness and the Light Mainland?

Her authority under the moon wasn’t restricted by Dragon Soul protection and as a result, unless they fought in a region where the moon wouldn’t rise, no one could defeat her. On the other hand, some players even called upon Lydia and Erin to befriend each other because they had similar personalities; they loved and admired beautiful art pieces. But the only difference was that Lydia was outgoing and adored luxury and elegance. On the other hand, Erin was more introverted. Besides, their abilities appeared to complement each other—Lydia was invincible under the sun while Erin was indestructible under the moon. If one could have them as one’s subordinates, conquering this continent wouldn’t be just a dream.

But if both were to fight each other, perhaps there would be no definite end.

There were several conclusions after the players discussed this problem. Most of them believed that the reason why Erin didn’t lead the army was related to the monarchy. After Ion took over the throne, he carried out a great degree of reform to the ruling class and swore to grasp all authority in his hands. Erin, as his younger sister, held the royal blood and was also a female, where it would cause instability if she held too much authority and status. On the other hand, Erin disliked battles and wasn’t strongly attached to them. Even though players often messed with her, her attacks were all in self-defense and she never initiated fights with others.

In the game, Rhode didn’t get the first kill on Erin because his ultimate target was the Dark Dragon Ion while he couldn’t care less about Erin since she didn’t obstruct him. Although Starlight didn’t attack her, she was slaughtered completely by the encirclement from members of the Glorious Edge, which was Rhode’s rival guild.

But the Glorious Edge Guild got into huge trouble thereafter, where they instantly substituted Rhode in being the prime target of the players in the Country of Darkness, which wasn’t surprising. After all, Erin didn’t offend them and yet, they eradicated her ruthlessly.

Thereafter, Glorious Edge suffered from various beat downs from the players in the Country of Darkness. Although their strength improved greatly after gaining the spoils of war from defeating Erin, they were no match for all the players in the Country of Darkness, which resulted in their guild being disbanded.

Rhode didn’t pity Glorious Edge at all because they were established by players in the Country of Light. They should count their lucky stars that Rhode didn’t slaughter them right after he took down the Dark Dragon. Since they asked for death by killing Erin, Rhode didn’t mind watching them perish from the sidelines.

But now, he couldn’t stand idly by anymore.

No matter how Erin disliked battling, she definitely wouldn’t look on helplessly at her army crumble to the enemies. Rhode was sure that she would jump into the battle at the critical juncture and might possibly destroy the three precious Holy Maiden Statues. The holy spears were devastating to Undead Creatures, but Erin was a living creature, so they wouldn’t deal much damage to her. But, even if Rhode could—would he dare to hurt her?

Rhode’s head hurt at this thought.

This was truly an unresolvable problem.
