“If I knew that the Deathfiend Spider was this powerful, I would not have let Dino have it. Damn it, look at that prideful brat now. I bet he had even forgotten who he is now,” Brother Da looked at Dinosaurcerer who was leading the charge formidably and muttered enviously. He deeply regretted fighting for the Pet Egg in the first place.

Little Apple smiled and shook her head. She then rolled her eyes and said to her apprentice, “I thought your Pet Egg is about to hatch? Still dissatisfied after having a flying-type Boss as a future Pet?”

“That Mutated Mannequin Spider? It does not look any bit imposing if compared to the Deathfiend Spider.” Brother Da’s disgruntled and ungrateful grumbling immediately offended the few ladies beside him. They then began to chide him.

“The Mutated Mannequin Spider is way stronger than the Deathfiend Spider, alright?”

“That’s true. Do you know how many players wish to get a flying-type Pet? You ungrateful fatty.”

“Why not cancel the binding if you are so unsatisfied with your Pet? Worry not, we will go in the Aricus Ruins and get you a Deathfiend Spider Pet Egg after you unbind your current one.” Violet Orchid also joined in the condemning party with a friendly grin.

Brother Da’s face fell listening to the ladies’ rebuke. ‘Are you kidding me? This is already the seventh day after the binding. You might as well kill me if you want me to give up the Pet.’ He shook his head vigorously.

Moreover, he was still unclear how strong his flying Pet might become. ‘Maybe it’s just like how they put it, the Mannequin Spider is indeed way stronger than the Deathfiend Spider!’ He smiled sheepishly and claimed that he was just joking, while diverting the topic. “Oh yes, I thought Ruo Ruo entered the Mythical Battlefield for quite some time? Why haven’t we heard anything from him? Usually, the Demon Faction will sweep the Mythical Battlefield around this time, right?” Despite being ignorant most of the time, Brother Da was still well aware of some of the major events within the game.

Due to Brother Da’s reminder, only Slayer’s Heart and Violet Orchid who were deeply concerned by the sudden appearance of the fifth War Behemoth at few hundred meters away, remembered the Aquamancer.

‘Oh yea!’

‘How could I forget about that guy?’

With the current battle situation at the fourth city gate reaching its boiling point, the emergence of the fifth War Behemoth had completely tilted the balance of the siege war. Once the Champions from the Demon Faction begin infiltrating from the landing zone of the fifth War Behemoth, Moonrise City would be in jeopardy and three League Masters alone would not be able to defend it for the Angel Faction. Chances of the city falling into the hands of the Demon Faction was extremely high now.

This was a life-and-death moment for the Angel Faction...

With Qin Ruo, at least the Angel Faction would have another Tier 5 Supreme Champion with Angelic Wings on their side. This would more or less help to alleviate some of the offensive pressure on the city.

“Little Qin.”

“Ruo, what’s your position now?”

Slayer’s Heart and Violet Orchid voice messages rang in his ears at the same time. This stopped Qin Ruo from continuing his pursuit on Satan’s Salvation remaining members across the Monster Mountains.

“I am at the Monster Mountains now. Is there anything?” Qin Ruo knew that something must have happened to Moonrise City when both Brother Slayer and Sister Violet sent him such urgent voice messages simultaneously.

“Are you done over there? We might need you back in the city. The situation in Moonrise City is rather critical!”

Qin Ruo raised his head slowly to take a look at the exasperated Black Widow still chasing behind him. He had killed most of his targets and was not really interested to cling onto the remaining insignificant players, so he answered swiftly, “I am done. You want me to return to Moonrise City to help guard it?”

“That’s right.” Slayer’s Heart knew that Qin Ruo was not very fond of such a burden. He explained to him patiently, “This is a war the Angel Faction cannot afford to lose. Not only are our dignity and Honor Points at stake here, but the consequences would be much more severe than that.”

“If we lose for an extended period of time, our position on the Mythical Battlefield will be extremely weak. We might also lose our control over the Buried City. Losing the Buried City will affect a lot of people, including yourself!”

Slayer’s Heart explained in detail why the dissolution of Leagues and Clans would be disastrous. If that happened, players in Angel Faction could then only fight in the form of small parties, while their opponent might be large teams from rival Leagues and Clans. Even the collaboration of a few elites from the enemy faction would be able to crush them easily. This made Qin Ruo slowly understand the importance of the League structure.

Only with the presence of Bauhinia, Netherspirit’s Claw, and Hall of Heroes that Angel Faction could form a cohesive force to resist the Demon Faction. The simple truth was, no individual or small organization would ever stand a chance against a conglomerate.

Be it League, Clan, or individual, despite not being involved directly in the war, they were all tightly connected. If the Leagues were destroyed, the entire Angel Faction would also be devastated like falling dominos.

As simple as that.

“Alright. I will do what I can to help. But I am not going back to Moonrise City and will not work with the Leagues. I am going to do this my way.” Qin Ruo made his stand.

“Ok.” Slayer’s Heart understood the reason Qin Ruo said that was because he did not want to have any interaction with Netherspirit’s Claw. He nodded and asked, “What do you plan to do?”

“So far I don’t have anything solid yet. I will decide later depending on the situation. As long as the Demon Faction players haven’t conquered the city gate, we will still have a shot. I will need to attend to a small matter first,” While he replied, Qin Ruo folded the Angelic Wings that were exceptionally glaring under the dark sky. He once again activated Aquamorph and disappeared into the shadow of the Monster Mountains, as well as from the sight of Black Widow who was following behind him closely in midair.

This was Black Widow’s darkest day in history.

To hunt the Winter Demon, Black Widow had ordered more than two hundred players, including three newly promoted Tier 5 Elementalists, to search the mountains.

Unexpectedly, not only did the four Tier 5 Classes (three Elementalists and one Warrior) fail to harass Qin Ruo, but they were also outright defeated by the Aquamancer.

What made it worse was that was not the end of it. After three Tier 5 Champions were defeated by Qin Ruo, the remaining Satan’s Salvation members immediately became Qin Ruo’s prey.

Within a short ten minutes’ span, more than a hundred players were killed.

Black Widow was furious! She did not care if other League Master despised her shameless act and decisively summoned one of her comrades from Black Witch League. She was also a Tier 5 Champion that had fused with Divinity.

However, before her help reached the scene, Qin Ruo suddenly disappeared into thin air without a sign.

Looking at the darkness below her, Black Widow’s face went pale with rage as she cursed, “Bastard!”

Although frustrated, she could do nothing about it. Without the Perception ability of a Tier 5 Elementalist, she as a Warrior would never be able to sense Qin Ruo’s presence. She also would not be able to determine the Aquamancer’s movement trail and subsequent position.

“Need not to rush here. He has fled. I will immediately go to Moonrise City. I believe there is where he is heading to.”

After sending out the message, Black Widow flapped her wings hard and dashed toward Moonrise City.

“Attack position confirmed. We will charge from the north!”

“Order the parties at the four other breach points to roll out now. Priest, Elementalist, and Beastblood Berserker troops, get ready to take down Moonrise City!”

Following the arrival of the fifth War Behemoth at the outside of the north side city wall, the Angel Faction players inside the gate clearly felt the change of momentum in their enemies charging force.

The enhanced impact was especially prominent at the northern wall.

After Black God was lured away up in the sky, the northern wall was now only guarded by a loosely formed party that was apparently less disciplined as compared to the elite parties on the battlefield of the other three directions.

Although Dinosaurcerer had fought courageously and excellently (he detonated a dense amount of Explosive Spiders all around the War Behemoth to push back waves of enemies), he was after all just a Tier 4 player and could only do so much...

Also, the battle just now was nothing but only a warm up for the Demon Faction.

A Tier 5 Aeromancer soon showed up and elevated himself to the same height as the War Behemoth. He then directly cast a Tier 5 AoE spell at the top of the wall.

The situation at the northern wall immediately worsened.

“Dino, be careful!”

At the top of the city wall, Slayer’s Heart, Violet Orchid, and others warned Dinosaurcerer urgently. But it was too late. The moment the Aeromancer made his move, more than ten Elementalist shielded by their magic barrier had climbed up to the back of the War Behemoth at the same time...

Windstorm Annihilation!

The Explosive Spiders all over the War Behemoth’s body were instantly annihilated. The situation had become chaotic up there. Many players who were not protected by Barrier were directly impacted by the storm spell. Some unlucky ones even got lifted by the spell and fell off the wall with shrieks of anguish.

Dinosaurcerer and the Deathfied Spider almost got flipped over too. The two fell down embarrassingly in front of a bunch of players.

“Tier 5!”

In the midst of the chaos, more than ten Black Jail Clan members rushed out from the crowd with dual defense activated. They were all Tier 5 Champions who had happily stayed behind to conserve energy prior to this seeing that Dinosaurcerer had fared rather well against the previous waves of attacks. Now it was their turn to take over.

As soon as they entered the battle, a beam of holy white light suddenly fell from the sky and shone upon them after Violet Orchid reopened her eyes.

The descent of the glorious and sacred holy light onto the city wall immediately gained the attention of everyone behind and beyond the wall.

It’s the Tier 5 AoE blessing spell of a Radiant Priest.

More than hundreds of Angel Faction players within the perimeter were buffed by the large area spell. All of their stats and attributes were slightly enhanced. The Tier 5 players from Black Jail were also greatly encouraged by the Radiant Priest’s presence and timely support.

***

At a far end, Savior, Death Jesus, and more than ten Tier 5 Champions that had gathered were simultaneously attracted by the dazzling light show as well.

Frowned, Savior immediately recognized the caster of the spell. “This buff is a Tier 5 spell. How convenient! The Tier 5 Radiant Priest, Violet Orchid is on this side. Dead Jesus, you are up.”

“Call me Death Jesus, or Jesus, okay?” The one beside Savior apparently disliked the way he addressed him and glared back.

“...” Savior rolled his eye and spoke straightforwardly, “I remember that you are an old foe of Bauhinia, so I will leave them to you. Is that alright?”

“Bully a female Radiant Priest?” Death Jesus snorted with an arm on his chest and cocked his head. “You are looking down on me...”

“She is H&G’s number one Radiant Priest, how is that looking down?” Savior gave him another eye roll.

“It’s still bullying a lady. I am not going.” Death Jesus stood by his principle.

“I heard that the lady always hangs out with a guy known as Slayer’s Heart...” Before he finished his sentence, someone had already spread out his Demonic Wings and shot up rapidly from the crowd like a rocket.

“Pfft.” Savior looked at Death Jesus who had flown far, with a smile. He mumbled, “I knew you would not be able to stand that name.”
