Chapter 1456: An Overbearing Opponent
The bunch from Quan Zhen Sect weren’t pushovers. Even though Spring Halo had a good, old man look, that appearance was only meant for people that he knew. He wasn’t someone that would tolerate others’ attitude for no reason at all.
Upon seeing the overbearing tone used by the lady in her words, the smile of Spring Halo’s face instantly vanished. He expressionlessly said, “Not speaking!”
“Good!” The corner of the lady’s lips raised in response, revealing a look of mockery towards Spring Halo’s bunch. Following which, she glanced towards the grey-skinned Orc in front of her and said, “Kill them until they speak!”
“Yes, Lord Meng Xi!” The Orc respectfully bowed towards the lady known as Meng Xi, before pointing to the bunch from Quan Zhen Sect and ordered, “Slaughter them!”
“F*ck!”
Upon hearing the lady’s and the Orc’s words, the bunch from Quan Zhen Sect were momentarily shocked and enraged.
What shocked them was the fact that these b*stards were extremely ruthless and were willing to kill anyone as and when they pleased, it was as if they treated the lives of players as insignificantly as that of ants. Such an unreasonable bunch was even more unruly than the people from Quan Zhen Sect.
After all, the bunch from Quan Zhen Sect would need a valid reason for them to murder other players.
What pissed them off was the fact that these b*stards treated them as insignificant ants... Quan Zhen Sect had been in the gaming circle for many years and had been labelled with many unpleasant names. However, this was the first time someone actually dared to disregard them, especially in Twilight City, which was Quan Zhen Sect’s territory.
“Dang!”
Without another word, the bunch from Quan Zhen Sect immediately took out their weapons and stood up from their seats.
Under the protection of Crotch Lord’s shield, Spring Halo had begun his incantation for [Dark Barrier], directing it at the group in front of him.
“Gravity!”
Upon seeing this, the grey-skinned Orc faintly smiled before raising his right hand slightly. Shortly after, the surrounding tables and chairs floated in midair.
Following which, he gestured forward with his hand, causing all of the tables and chairs that were suspended in midair to fly towards Spring Halo from all directions.
“Hu hu la la!”
The sound of objects shattering could be heard as Spring Halo was knocked onto the ground by the numerous tables and chairs that were thrown at him.
Everyone knows that the tables and chairs in the bars were known for how brittle they were. Thus, it was needless to say what happened to these objects when they crashed into Spring Halo.
The boss of the bar instantly teleported beside Spring Halo, holding onto his clothes and said, “Boss Spring Halo, we are a small business!”
[Dark Barrier] was an ability that required a relatively long casting duration. After being knocked onto the ground and pestered by the boss of the bar, Spring Halo was naturally unable to cast it.
Upon seeing Spring Halo getting knocked down in just a single exchange, the rest from Quan Zhen Sect were stunned silly.
Even though Spring Halo was nowhere as overpowered as Wang Yu, he was still one of the top fighting strength of Quan Zhen Sect, and was the most reliable Controller in the team. Even when fighting against professional experts, he could still put up a fight. However, he was actually defeated in a single move by a random Orc that showed up all of a sudden... what kind of god is this player?
At this moment, Fearless exclaimed in shock, “A Gravity Magician! You’re Rockabye?!”
“Hm?” The Orc was slightly stunned for a moment, before replying with a smile, “To think that there would be players that could recognise me here in the Brave Continent.”
“Rockabye??!!”
Upon seeing that the Orc in front of them did not deny Fearless’ statement, not just Fearless, the expressions on everyone from Quan Zhen Sect’s faces instantly tensed up.
Rockabye was an extremely renowned player in the gaming circle and was known for his skill as a Magician. He was known as the number one player in the European region and could be compared with top-tier experts like Boundless Ocean.
<<REBIRTH>> was a Virtual Reality game and was completely different from the other online games. Thus, many top-tier experts in the past had declined in fame after the release of this new gaming system.
Rockabye, on the other hand, not only did his fame not decline, he became even more popular than in the past. Furthermore, he had unlocked the hidden branch of the Magician job class, Gravity Magician. His control over Gravity Magic was exceptional, making him second to none in the entire European region.
The rest from Quan Zhen Sect’s understanding of Rockabye was from the mouse and keyboard gaming era. Fearless, on the other hand, had a better understanding of Rockabye’s capabilities. After all, Fearless played in the European region during the beta testing period. To think that the lady called Meng Xi actually had the ability to rope in Rockabye as her subordinate.
Seems like they have met a tough opponent this time around!
Of course, the bunch from Quan Zhen Sect weren’t softies either. Seeing that the opponent that they were facing was so strong, everyone became even more alert and put in 120% focus into the battle.
With an expert like Rockabye within the enemy’s ranks, Quan Zhen Sect naturally wouldn’t target the other players.
Fearless immediately gave the order, “Eliminate Rockabye first! Frontliners, restrict him!”
Following Fearless’ command, Crotch Lord raised his shield and charged towards Rockabye, activating [Taunt] at him.
Upon seeing this, Rockabye calmly reached out behind him with his left hand and pulled the Warrior from his team rushing forward to support him towards him with his Gravity Magic, before placing the Warrior in front of him.
Crotch Lord’s [Taunt] naturally landed on the Warrior instead.
“Duang!”
The Warrior took the hit in Rockabye’s stead and was knocked out instantly by Crotch Lord’s shield. Despite so, Crotch Lord’s face unexpectedly revealed a sly smile at this moment.
“???”
Upon seeing Crotch Lord’s smile, Rockabye was momentarily stunned. At this moment, the rumbling of thunder could be heard, as a ray of thick golden lightning flashed towards Rockabye’s figure.
As fast as Rockabye’s casting duration was, he was still a Magician at the end of the day. After just finishing using his magic, he was immobile for a short duration. Thus, it was already too late for him to dodge the oncoming attack.
However, just when everyone thought that Rockabye was about to be blasted to death by the lightning, a golden halo suddenly appeared above the heads of Crotch Lord and Rockabye.
Ming Du’s [Berserk Thunder] accurately struck onto the circle above Rockabye’s head, before disappearing and appearing from the circle above Crotch Lord’s head.
“Boom!!!”
The [Berserk Thunder] precisely routed around Crotch Lord’s shield and smashed into his head.
The shield was considered a Weapon. Thus, if the shield did not block the incoming attack, its defenses would not mitigate the damage.
-124471
A bright red figure appeared above Crotch Lord’s head, as his HP bar instantly dropped to a critical level.
After escaping death, Rockabye retreated a few steps backwards, only to reveal the figure of a red-clothed Magician behind him.
“Space Magic!!” Upon seeing this scene, the bunch from Quan Zhen Sect’s eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets.
To think that the opponent had another hidden branch Hero job class, Space Magician!
“!!!”
Seeing the damage figure on top of Crotch Lord’s head, Rockabye and his comrades involuntarily felt a chill down their spine.
F*ck, this Magician’s damage is too high!
It should be known that Crotch Lord had a lot of passive abilities that increased his HP and defense once his HP dropped below 30%. Despite this, he was almost killed by Ming Du’s spell. Thus, the magic damage dealt by Ming Du could be imagined.
Just when both parties were feeling shocked at each other’s capabilities, the Orc Warrior that was knocked out by Crotch Lord’s shield previously had finally recovered. He swiftly rolled on the ground to the side of Crotch Lord and retrieved a long spear from his bag, tossing it towards Crotch Lord.
