VRMMO: THE UNRIVALED

Chapter 1423: True Madness



Chapter 1423: True Madness

Rustle rustle…

An ink-black qilin exhaled fiery air from its nostrils as its stern-faced master bent down to pick up the equipment of a man he had killed mere seconds earlier. After slipping Red Maple’s Crimson Dragon Arm around his arm, Little Piglet said in a slightly lazy voice, "Oh, friends from Swallow Ear Canton! Sorry I forgot to care about your feelings. Well, too late now anyway. Crimson Dragon Arm is now mine. Feel free to come and get it from me anytime. I, Little Piglet, always welcome a challenge!"

The "friendly" declaration instantly caused Swallow Ear Canton’s players to erupt in a cacophony of swearings—

"Take down Little Piglet!"

"That Northern Alliance dog dares to steal our Crimson Dragon Arm!?"

"No one likes the traitor of the China server! Kill him and retake the Ghost Armament! That Crimson Dragon Arm rightfully belongs to us!"

……

Little Piglet received their rebukes like a flower soaking in rainwater before raising his sword into the air, smiling. "Is that so? Since God’s Domain is so arrogant, I’ve decided to do something that’ll make you regret your words for the rest of your life!"

Little Piglet took out a token and used it, causing it to vanish from his grasp. The next moment, a shocking system announcement rang across the sky—

Ding~!

System Announcement: As the representative of "Dark Mercenaries", player "Little Piglet" has successfully challenged the guild "God’s Domain" to a guild battle using the Vassal Challenge Token! Each side may dispatch up to 100,000 elites. The winner will be rewarded generously, and the loser will have their guild disbanded, unable to use its name ever again! All players in the losing guild will lose 3 levels. The challenged guild may opt to reject the challenge at the cost of 5 levels and between 1 to 3 currently equipped pieces of equipment for every guild member! In 60 minutes, the participants will be teleported into a special arena where the battle will be carried out! Victory will go to the guild with more players remaining!

……

"Mad. Little Piglet’s gone completely mad…" Chaos Moon murmured to herself.

Li Chengfeng let out a sigh before saying, "Little Piglet really is a madman. I cannot believe he chose God’s Domain as his first guild to challenge. Are his Dark Mercenaries really that strong? This is just madness. What if he loses?"

I said, "Pray that Little Piglet wins then. Personally, I’d much rather have Dark Mercenaries win this than God’s Domain!"

"Duh!"

He Yi blinked before saying, "I bet the main reason Little Piglet chose to challenge God’s Domain was because he got the Crimson Dragon Arm from Red Maple."

I agreed. "Yeah. The Crimson Dragon Arm is viewed as a symbol of power by God’s Domain and maybe even the Japan server itself, and Red Maple was so unlucky he dropped it to the one man who was crazy enough to consider the option, and bold enough to actually act on it. Strong as the Ghost Armament may be, it’s nothing compared to the blow it dealt to God’s Domain morale. They are entering this battle with their fighting spirits shot to tatters."

Lin Yixin frowned a little. "I agree that it’s a golden opportunity, but it will be all for naught if God’s Domain defeats Dark Mercenaries anyway. Where does Little Piglet’s confidence come from?"

Purple Marquis said, "There’s no need to worry over this, guild leader. The answer will automatically be revealed to us in 120 minutes!"

……

As time passed, the Fire Qilins’ assault grew weaker and weaker. Countless layers of dead mobs were stacked before our formation, and most of the Fire Qilin set pieces they dropped were in my bag. I had a total of 27 full sets when the monster wave petered out completely, and He Yi and I went around to buy the individual pieces until we had 30 sets in total!

"Coldblade only has 30% HP left…"

Li Chengfeng smiled while watching the duel still happening in the sky. "It looks like this endeavor isn’t completely hopeless after all. Coldblade is no match for Sophie even after he has devoured Thunder’s strength. She definitely deserves her title as the second-strongest Purgatory Sovereign!"

I nodded. "Yes. When Coldblade’s HP falls to 5%, we must try and seize his threat from Sophie and kill him. Otherwise, I’m pretty sure he’ll pull an impossible escape if we leave him with Sophie…"

……

Swhoosh!

It was at this moment a figure dropped from the sky and hit the ground hard. When the storm settled, we saw a bloodied Coldblade climbing to his feet and roared at the sky, "Sophie, you little bitch! You really think you can kill me?"

A cold beam of light dropped down from the sky and struck Coldblade’s chest hard. Metallic sparks flew everywhere as Sophie’s sword carved into the Purgatory Sovereign’s armor and reduced his HP even more. No matter how you looked at it, Coldblade was definitely no match for Sophie.

Desperate, Coldblade staggered to his feet once more before he abruptly snapped the sword in his hand in half. Then, he infused an enormous amount of dark cyan energy into it and conjured a gigantic magic formation beneath his feet. Then, spitting out globs of blood as he looked up at the sky, he chanted, "Oh great ruler of the Purgatory, please grant me your strength so that the storm may blow away all this gloominess, and blood may wash the land clean! I, Coldblade, beseech—Eye of the Storm!"

Boom!

A spiraling vortex suddenly erupted around Coldblade and sucked all nearby objects toward it like a black hole. The unfortunate players who were too close to him when the skill happened were shredded the second they made contact with it. Even Sophie had to summon her energy to steady herself or risk being pulled into the vortex and damaged by it.

Karinshan shouted as she galloped over from the fortress, "Be careful, Lady Sophie! That bastard is trying to use the Eye of the Storm to escape directly to the plane of the Purgatory!"

Sophie gritted her teeth. "Don’t worry, this brute isn’t escaping anywhere today!"

……

Suddenly, the ground shook hard enough for everyone to feel it. There was the sound of dull impact, and—

Bang!

A figure abruptly burst out of the earth and into the air. It was none other than the escaping Coldblade. There was a bloody, gaping hole in his chest, and his arms were trembling like leaves. His HP bar was almost completely empty.

Wisps of icy energy filled the air as a beautiful woman slowly rose from the depths of the pit Coldblade had flown out from. She was none other than Xinran. Beside her, the Winged Silver Dragon swayed its ugly head left and right while flattering its master in the dragon’s tongue, "Oh, everything is going according to your predictions, my cute and beautiful master. Coldblade was hoping to escape through the underground, but you have foiled his attempt perfectly…"

Xinran looked at me and shot me a smile, whispering, "Big brother…"

I nodded and canceled my Fusion Armor. I then leaped onto my dragon’s back and said, "Coldblade is almost out of HP. Now is the time to attack him and seize his aggro. We need to attack him for at least 60 seconds, or he won’t drop anything just like Thunder…"

Gui Guzi, Li Chengfeng, Lin Yixin and He Yi all nodded at the same time and followed me to the sky. A group of Northern Alliance players also did the same thing. However, they were mostly griffon riders or black crow riders except Vienna’s Sorrow and thus not really a threat to the boss.

……

Coldblade looked at the players flying toward him and uttered, "Storm!"

Whoosh!

A powerful storm appeared out of nowhere and engulfed a dozen or so black crow riders at once. Not only that, giant icicles had manifested from inside the storm and skewered the black crow riders, one-shotting them without ever giving the chance to fight back.

Coldblade wasn’t done running though. Before he even finished his attack, Coldblade abruptly shot toward the sky while growling, "Do you think this is enough to keep me, Wind Singer? The Purgatory is my home, and I have countless ways to return home!!"

He was wrong in this instance. There was a loud bang, and Coldblade rammed skull first into what seemed like an invisible wall, bloodying himself. At the same time, a gigantic blood web that enveloped the entire Crossroads Valley slowly revealed itself to everyone. As it turned out, bloody corpses had been scattered around the entire Crossroads Valley, and each one of them was contributing their strength to form the giant web above our heads. The corpses had come from Heaven Domain[1] itself.

"What… what is this?" Coldblade was stunned.

Xinran chuckled while gripping the Dragonbone Spear. "This is the Punishment of the Gods, an old Heaven Domain secret technique. Unfortunately, I am unable to use it alone, so I had to use the gods’ remnants to activate it. I told you you must die today, Coldblade. No one can save you anymore. Not even the Purgatory Ruler himself would escape if he was in your place."

……

Thud!

Suddenly, Coldblade heard a soft sound behind his back. It was me pressing my palm against his armor while he was distracted, unleashing the God Binding Art.

Coldblade abruptly shuddered before turning back to glare at me. "You are courting death, brat!"

"Pooh!"

I spat at him as God Binding Art took effect. Amazingly, the skill didn’t miss but could only hold the boss for 5.7 seconds. It was still much better than what I had expected!

"Now!"

I stabbed Coldblade’s chest and injected him with Purple Frost Concentration to lower his Defense.

Then, I activated Heavenly River Transformation, backed a few steps away from him and unleashed Xuanyuan Slash. I wasn’t just attacking Coldblade though. I had purposely adjusted my angle so that I would hit Vienna’s Sorrow and the Northern Alliance players behind him as well!

……

"Oh shit!" Vienna’s Sorrow swore when he finally discovered my intention. Whoever said you can’t kill two birds in one stone?

Boom!

The giant golden sword cut through the air and caused a great deal of damage numbers—

2,471,623!

2,582,774!

2,527,742!

……

Vienna’s Sorrow was the only one who survived the Ancient Divine Skill. The black crow riders and griffin riders around him were all torn to shreds.

I wasn’t done yet though. Coiling Dragon Revolution, go!

Pu!

Again, the sword passed through Coldblade’s chest and continued toward Vienna’s Sorrow.

"Shit! Bull—shit!"

Vienna’s Sorrow only knew how to swear curses at this point. He raised his sword to parry the Chill of the Nine Provinces and actually succeeded, but it came at the price of him and his dragon falling toward the ground.

To my right, Li Chengfeng unleashed a Dragonblade Revolution + Dragonbone Flurry combo while He Yi’s Stormwind Slash and Lin Yixin’s Ice Flame Slash formed a cross in the sky. After Gui Guzi unleashed his own Burning Blade Slash + Death Flurry combo, Coldblade’s HP dropped to just 1%. The super boss could die at any moment now!

……

"Well done! Don’t stop killing!" Gui Guzi laughed.

Crack!

Before he was finished laughing though, a sword burst out of his chest and dealt over 1.4 million damage to him. His attacker was none other than Breeze and Rain himself!

1. E/N: For obvious reasons, we decided to change God Domain to Heaven Domain. We haven’t really stepped into the divine planes yet, so I hope this change won’t bother you too much. It should improve your reading experience with God’s Domain in the very same chapter though! ☜
