Chapter 555: The Strongest in the Angel Faction?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As thousands of players watched in awe, three powerful sword slashes swiped above their heads and landed on the Lich’s body!

Just a while ago, there were many Tier 5 and Tier 4 players who had sacrificed their lives so many times but were still unable to make a dent on the Lich’s barrier. And yet, these slashes were able to...

Booom!

The barrier was crushed into a million pieces of Shadow Elements and vanished completely!

“....”

On Rue’s warp portal, the players’ jaws all dropped to the ground with a thud.

This Lich was able to break so many of layers of their defenses and then force its way into the city without sustaining any damage. Having lost their gear from all their deaths, the Tier 4 and Tier 5 players in the city were unable to retaliate effectively. All they could do was to create a physical barrier using their bodies to stall the damn thing.

The Lich was so strong that it felt like it had crawled out from everyone’s worst nightmares!

Yet, that Winged Ignis Swordmaster was able to shatter that Lich’s barrier with the first few strikes?!

Magic Penetration?

Are the sword slashes capable of penetrating magic?! This was unheard of! So far, only Berserkers’ weapons have Magic Penetration while their swords possessed Elemental Damage. No one ever knew such a sword ever existed! The Tier 5 players in the city stared at the Ignis Swordmaster, tongue-tied, and unable to believe what they just saw.

Damn!

And this Swordmaster only wore gold grade equipment. These kinds of equipment were basically obsolete by the time players advanced to Tier 5. Perhaps it was all due to that unique sword that he’s wielding? If not, it was impossible for Winged and non-winged Tier 5 players to have that much of a difference in power.

As they were all mesmerized by the Ignis Swordmaster’s strength, there had been some changes in the tide of battle...

***

After landing an effective strike, Subjugator coolly spread his wings and backed away from the Lich’s attack range. Unlike the players on the ground below, Judge and Black Rock were not surprised by his success in breaking the Lich’s barrier with just one combo-hit...

Subjugator’s sword was capable of delivering flame damage that ignored its opponents’ defense. If he heaved a chained ranged attack using its magnificent blade, the damage that it would cause would be tremendous and disastrous! It was not at all difficult to shatter the Lich’s barrier.

This was also why Subjugator was bitter with Qin Ruo for not including him in the fight earlier with the Mutated Lich. Now, there was only a tank (Judge) and a Terramancer (Black Rock) by his side. As a result, he finally got to flaunt his skills with grace!

As Subjugator was thrilled by the damage he did on the Lich, he was also overjoyed with the applause that was directed at him from below. However, he did not let pride lower his guard against his opponent. If he had let his guard down, it could send him straight back down to the Resurrection Portal. It would definitely happen if he let this one small victory get over his head. This was the Lich after all. Its powerful attacks were not something to be trifled with.

To take out this monstrosity, he required the support of Black Rock and Judge.

Swooooosh!

Armed to the teeth, Judge zoomed towards the Lich’s attack range like a raging cannonball...

“Fuck!”

“Here comes another psycho!”

The players almost had their hearts leap out of their mouths!

The first Winged Ignis Swordmaster was able to perform an effective powerful long-range strike at the Lich before it could launch its deadly magic attacks without activating his Elemental Armor. Yet, this Winged Berserker rushed towards the Lich right away—aiming to take on it at melee range! This too was done without activating his Berserk Shell! This Berserker must have had a death wish!

The next thing that happened blew everyone’s mind yet again!

Three shadowy skulls rose from the Lich’s hand and bolted at Judge! Seeing this, the fearless Berserker did not perform an evasive maneuver! Instead, he twirled his body as he held a huge Dark Gold shield. All three eerie bolting skulls were deflected! As soon as the skulls were deflected, Judge stopped spinning in the air and accelerated towards the Lich!

Swooosh!

Charge!

Like a bolt of lightning, Judge rammed himself onto the Lich’s face! His Dark Gold Shield had now become a huge heavy saber and in an instant, the Dark Gold saber had been thrust into the Lich’s neck!

Having lost its Shadow Barrier, the Lich was sent straight to the ground, ramming into thousands of skeletons below.

“Yeah!!!!”

A loud cheer could be heard from the players.

“Oh shit!”

“This is incredible!”

Compared to those Berserkers who could not perform well in any position, this man was a true Berserker!

Swoosh! Swoosh!

As thousands of players fixed their eyes on the Winged Berserker, the other two Winged Champions finally moved again, flying straight into the skeleton army! Subjugator was able to reach to the Lich before it was able to touch the ground.

Boom!!!

Like a blazing fireball, Subjugator stopped the Lich midair and smashed it outwards using his sword—sending it far away from the warp portal!

Growwllll!!!

After being aggrieved by Judge’s berserk strike and Subjugator’s Burning Slash, the Lich was now stunned as it struggled to get back on its feet. Then suddenly, three huge Earth Dragons struck from below, sending several skeletons straight to the air. Naturally, the Lich was also engulfed in the Earth Dragons’ attacks and was thrown back towards Judge and Subjugator.

Seeing that the players were applauding for Judge and Subjugator, Black Rock was not willing to be left behind as he wanted to show everyone what he could do too!

The poor Lich was thrown back and forth by the Winged Champions, like a tennis ball being rallied from the ends of a tennis court.

Subjugator and Judge were unimpressed by Black Rock’s attacks. The heck was he sending the Lich back towards the warp portal for?! Not wasting any time, both of them pursued the Lich like the wind... Luckily, the Earthdragon Strikes could stun enemies too, especially the mage-type monsters. So, even after it was sent flying in the air for this long, it was still not able to move at all.

Booom!!

Finally, another Earthdragon Strike sent the Lich towards the streets, far away from the warp portal. Having being lifted from the Lich’s threat, the players marched at the skeleton army, seizing the opportunity to strike back where they could!

***

“Oh no! The Lich’s coming this way! Run!!”

While the three Winged Champions were taking care of the Lich, Pretty Woman and her gang were fending off the specters on the streets. They did not anticipate that the Lich would head their way. As soon as they saw the Lich ramming into one of the buildings in the streets, they immediately fled the scene.

Pretty Woman, unlike her fellow teammates, was a Tier 5 player, so, she knew what the Lich was like. With just a glance, she saw that the three Winged Champions were able to catch up to the Lich almost instantaneously. There was nothing to worry about—the Lich was not after them.

Besides, it was a rare opportunity to work together with Winged Champions. Hence, Pretty Woman turned to Xin Yu saying, “Let’s help them out!”

“Okay!”

Xin Yu nodded her head in excitement. She saw every bit of their battle earlier—their battle was even more exciting than what she saw from the videos on the forum. She could not wait to fight alongside these super-players!

“Little Eye!”

Hearing his master calling for him, Little Eye widened its mono-eye and dashed out of the skeleton army...

As the skeletons were chasing after him from behind, a vast golden ray suddenly flashed before everyone’s eyes on the street! The skeletons were all moving really slowly, almost as if their legs were all strapped to a hundred tons of lead!

Tier 5 Earth AoE magic—AoE Gravity!

All the Tier 4 skeletons were trapped by the Earth magic in an instant! Even the Lich was slightly affected by this gravitational force...

“Watch out!”

“It’s AoE Gravity!”

Black Rock was a Terramancer. Naturally, he knew what was going on in just one glance. Realizing that there was someone else joining the fight, he immediately signaled at Judge and Subjugator, cautioning them to not dash into the gravitational field right away...

He raised his eyes and scanned the area... And that was when he saw them... Two cute babes standing across the street. One of them was an Elementalist while the other was a Bandit. Other than that, there was a huge eye-catching Blue-winged Butterfly and a familiar-looking...

“Galbis!”

Black Rock, Judge, and Subjugator were shocked when they saw the “Mini Galbis” that was standing next to the Bandit babe.

“Invite them to the party!” Judge declared loudly.

In a short time, a five-member party was formed.

***

“Weaken! Gravity!”

“Leave the rest to us!”

Subjugator immediately assigned Pretty Woman and Xin Yu with the most suitable roles for the fight.

Even though it was just their pets that they needed, Pretty Woman and Xin Yu did feel left out at all. Besides, these three were not some nameless goons—they were three Main Field Commanders of the Fallen Angel.

Black Rock, the Terramancer had a full set of legendary equipment. According to rumors, he possessed the ability to petrify a huge number of foes at close-quarter combat.

Then there was Subjugator, the Ignis Swordmaster who insisted to wear only low-tier equipment. Despite his low-tier gear, he was the strongest sword amongst the Fallen Angels. This was evident in his barrier-shattering strike earlier.

And then Judge, the literal embodiment of the Steel Berserker was another well-known celebrity in the Fallen Angels.

***

Working together, Pretty Woman was assigned to clear out the approaching specters and skeletons while instructing her Blue-winged Butterfly to weaken the Lich. Xin Yu, on the other hand, was assigned to command Little Eye to slow the Lich’s movement using AoE Gravity.

Judge was the tank, keeping the Lich busy at melee range while Subjugator was the damage dealer. As for Black Rock... He only got to be a support...

Seeing that the Lich was in a deadlock by the five of them, the other players had cooperatively aided in keeping the specters away from the streets.

“These Fallen Angels are really something.”

“Yeah, and here I thought that little girl earlier was some acquaintance of Netherspirit’s Claw... Funny, I thought the strongest clan in Angel Faction is Netherspirit’s Claw, not Fallen Angels...”

“Really?”

“Netherspirit’s Claw? Pfft. Haven’t you heard? The Winter Demon has returned from the Underworld. Just now, Netherspirit’s Claw was trying to pick a fight with the Fallen Angels at the Death Valley. As a result, Snowmelt and Dark Dragon were slain while Netherclaw ran away like a pussy. Are you sure they’re the strongest in the Angel Faction?” A player smirked at the chatter.

“No way... You’ve got to be kidding!”

“Kidding? I just got the news after logging off earlier. There were videos on the forum. Half of the thirty-ish Netherspirit’s Claw’s Winged Champions were slain in the Death Valley. You can go check it out yourself.”

“What a load of bull... I’ll watch it and see if it’s only a prank...”

“I want to watch it too!”

All of a sudden, a huge wave of unrest swept in Rue City. Thousands of players having lost interest in the city’s battle, logged off from the game to surf the official forum of H&G.
