Chapter 1433: Two Heroes Unite
"Dark Mercenaries, kill!"
Little Piglet charged toward Throne of the Wild’s right wing right after he gave the simple order. His Ice Blade Shatter scored a critical hit on a magic knight and one-shot them immediately. A couple of cavalrymen tried to retaliate with Barrier Break, but he was able to weave his way in between them and dodged them all. Suddenly, a pair of bloody wings spread out behind his back as he growled, "Come, Ice and Fire! Work with me to instakill Tear Stain!"
Song of Ice and Fire galloped into the open with a giant axe in his hands and a smirk on his face. "Sure! Tear Stain is Candlelight Shadow’s junior sister, and I’m happy to do anything that makes Candlelight Shadow unhappy! Ringwraith, join us! Don’t give Tear Stain any chance to escape. God Bone, you know what to do!"
Swhoosh!
There was a flash, and the eighth-promotion undead mage, Ringwraith, Blinked to the front of his formation and cast his Bone Cage at Tear Stain.
"Tsk…"
Tear Stain pulled at the reins and was able to dodge the CC skill with ease. However, Ringwraith then proceeded to cast his ultimate skill, Night of the Undead Dragon. The ground beneath her feet quaked ominously!
"Dammit!"
Tear Stain’s complexion turned green, but she didn’t hesitate to Charge away from the skill and straight into Ringwraith. After the undead mage was stunned, she dished out a lightning-fast Barrier Break + Quadruple Slash combo that only took her 0.2 seconds to execute. After Ringwraith’s Frost Bone Shield was destroyed, she stabbed him through the chest with Barrier Break!
Puchi!
482,773!
The flurry skill from before had already deleted some of Ringwraith’s HP, so he had no chance of surviving the skill.
Although Tear Stain managed to kill Ringwraith, she had practically delivered herself into the hands of the Iron Cutter Cavalry. In other words, she was stuck between a rock and a hard place. Gritting her teeth with resolve, she abruptly activated Heavenly River Transformation and raised her sword high up in the air. She then cast her SS Rank Ancient Divine Skill, Yemaek Slash at the incoming God Bone and stunned him before he could cast his Bloodbreak Slash. The Iron Cutter Cavalry behind him were stunned for 3 seconds as well.
"Now, Seven!"
As Little Piglet cut toward Tear Stain at a slanted angle, Shock Arrow appeared out of nowhere and struck the beautiful guild leader squarely on the chest. It successfully stunned her for 2.7 seconds [1].
Tear Stain turned purple. It was because she knew what the 2.7 seconds entailed.
Clop clop clop…
Little Piglet made a big turn before skidding to a stop. Then, he fired the S Rank Ancient Divine Skill that even I hadn’t seen him using until now, the Divine Arms Slash at Tear Stain. Song of Ice and Fire was also activating Heavenly River Transformation and shooting his SS Rank Ancient Divine Skill, Gonggong’s Furious Strike, at the guild leader.
982,771!
1,126,354!
Two Ancient Divine Skills later, Tear Stain was sitting next to no health at all. Still stunned, she could only glare impotently at her attackers.
Finally, Little Piglet rode up to Tear Stain and targeted her weapon with his Crimson Dragon Arm. He let out a chuckle and said, "Sorry!"
Buzz!
The Devour effect of the Crimson Dragon Arm gave its user a 100% critical chance. Therefore, Little Piglet’s last strike dealt over 900k damage and absolutely destroyed Tear Stain’s final sliver of HP. After she let out a groan and dropped dead, her sword appeared in Little Piglet’s hand.
Thud!
Little Piglet shot Song of Ice and Fire a glance before tossing the weapon to him. "Here. The Vast Sky Sword is an eight star Outstanding Ancient Immortal-grade weapon with a max Attack of 15k. It’s perfect for you!"
Song of Ice and Fire equipped the weapon without hesitation and smiled. "Thank you, guild leader. Now, what are we going to do next?"
"We will clear out the remnants of Throne of the Wild and Asuka Period and hunt both Purgatory Dragon and the boss before Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls’ Dragonlight Cavalry can form their encirclement. We will become the final victor of this battle!" Little Piglet declared with absolute confidence.
Song of Ice and Fire nodded. "Understood."
Little Piglet glanced at Ringwraith’s body and said in an apologetic tone, "It’s too bad Ringwraith still lost a level. Sorry."
However, God Bone replied in an easy-going manner, "It’s fine. One level for Tear Stain’s level and her main weapon. It is absolutely a worthwhile trade no matter how you look at it. Now, let us continue. Ringwraith has a skill that allows him to perform a long-range teleportation, so he’ll be rejoining us in 15 minutes at most!"
Little Piglet nodded. "Very well. Let us kill!"
……
Together with God Bone, Song of Ice and Fire, and a troop of elite Iron Cutter Cavalrymen, Little Piglet dismantled Throne of the Wild and Asuka Period’s defense line in just a couple of minutes and reached the edge of Purgatory Mad Dragon’s formation.
"Roar roar roar…"
Meanwhile, Minotaur Knight the Forbidden Devil Sovereign was still slaughtering Purgatory Mad Dragon’s players like it was the protagonist, and they were trash mobs blocking his way to glory. Purgatory Mad Dragon had always had a ton of players, but even they couldn’t afford to lose them at this rate. Wang Dongliang’s scalp tingled with fear when he saw the sea of Dark Mercenaries Iron Cutter Cavalry swarming toward his location. "Fuck, that bastard is going to strike us sooner than expected…"
Profound Puff looked at Roaming Dragon and said, "Brother Lu Chao, why don’t we fight the boss for now, and you guys split part of your forces to handle Dark Mercenaries?"
Iron Pardon said in a hurry, "Why should we? Dark Mercenaries’ Iron Cutter Cavalry is incredibly powerful. There’s no way we can handle them by ourselves!"
Profound Puff narrowed his eyes. "This is YOUR mess. You SHOULD handle it yourself."
Wang Dongliang didn’t say anything. His silence was itself an agreement with Profound Puff’s words.
……
Shing…
Roaming Dragon slowly unsheathed his sword before declaring, "Sure, we can do it. We need Ray of Sunshine though. He’s the only one who can suppress Little Piglet and Song of Ice and Fire. Why the fuck is Ice and Fire and his elites helping Dark Mercenaries anyway? I thought they were the generals of Soul Battle Robes. Those shameless bastards. A bit of money is all it took to make them switch loyalties. Pooh!"
Wang Dongliang nodded before saying to Ray of Sunshine, "Help out the defense and defeat Dark Mercenaries, Sunshine. We’ll keep the boss busy until you’re done killing Little Piglet and Song of Ice and Fire!"
Ray of Sunshine smirked arrogantly and declared, "Don’t worry. It will take 30 minutes at most!"
Roaming Dragon was smirking as well. "Let’s go. Archers and mages, go all out while our cavalrymen are stalling for you. They only have cavalry, so this battle is weighed in our favor. So what if they have the Iron Cutter Cavalry? Not only did they have to beg the Northern Alliance to get these mounts, they are still no match for the power of the Center! Let’s defeat Dark Mercenaries here and make ourselves even more famous!"
……
The defense line was formed quickly. Countless Purgatory Mad Dragon cavalrymen planted their shields in front of themselves.
Thundering hooves shattered the silence of the snowy lands. Little Piglet and Song of Ice and Fire were at the forefront of the charge. Soul Battle Robes’ generals aside, nearly everyone in the main guild of Dark Mercenaries were former Purgatory Mad Dragon players who left the China server because their own guild had subjected their leader, Little Piglet to great injustice. Therefore, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that this group of Iron Cutter Cavalrymen was fully driven by hatred and the thirst for vengeance.
They weren’t the only ones who were charging Purgatory Mad Dragon’s defense line, however. Our cavalry were launching an attack on the other wing as well!
As I closed in on Purgatory Mad Dragon’s defense line, I fired three Ancient Seals and Burning Blade Slash that deleted most of the defenders directly in front of me. The Purgatory Mad Dragon players stared at me in shock, and the defenders who ran forward to fill in the holes in the defense widened their eyes like saucers. "What the fuck! Why is Ancient Sword here?!"
"Move faster! We need to hold our ground somehow!"
While the defenders were panicking, I raised my sword and shouted on top of my lungs, "Our target this time is Purgatory Mad Dragon only! Don’t attack Dark Mercenaries unless they attack you!"
At the distance, Little Piglet also raised his own sword and shouted, "Don’t attack any other guild besides Purgatory Mad Dragon! Those who disobey will be kicked out of the guild immediately!"
……
Our shouts chilled the hearts of the defenders even more. It was clear as day that Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls and Dark Mercenaries were going to work together to slaughter them all.
Relying on his powerful Defense and resistances to keep him alive, Little Piglet plowed right into Purgatory Mad Dragon’s defense line and cast his Ice Breaking Slash. Combined with Song of Ice and Fire’s Splitting Heaven and Earth, the two skills were able to kill about a hundred Purgatory Mad Dragon cavalrymen instantly. However, the Iron Cutter Cavalrymen were dying even faster to the defenders’ storm of arrows and magic. In positional warfare, the defenders always had the advantage, especially when the attacker only had a mobile strike force.
Suddenly, Purgatory Mad Dragon’s defense line opened to admit Ray of Sunshine. Sword wreathed in flames, he Charged Song of Ice and Fire while shouting, "Still remember me, Dawning Wind Waning Moon?!"
Song of Ice and Fire might have passed his prime some time ago, but he was still a great expert. He moved his mount two steps backward to dodge the Charge and Barrier Break-ed Ray of Sunshine for massive damage!
592,872!
Next, he followed up with Frozen Flurry. It was a skill with a huge chance to freeze the opponent!
However, Ray of Sunshine was prepared for this. The moment Frozen Flurry came out, he immediately moved sideways while buffed his movement speed with Dance of Conflagration. He was able to cancel the attack with a well-timed and well-placed Shadow Breaker.
"Just die already!"
A bit annoyed, Song of Ice and Fire activated Heavenly River Transformation again and cast Gong Gong’s Furious Strike!
Bang!
1,147,288!
Ray of Sunshine shuddered from the impact and lost around half his HP. Then, Little Piglet’s Ice Breaking Slash hit him as well and dropped him to less than a million HP.
Stern-faced, Ray of Sunshine commanded his Cloud Devil Panther to slam into Song of Ice and Fire while he executed a Dragon Flame Flurry. Song of Ice and Fire managed to parry one hit, but the other two hits landed successfully—
528,722!
+528,722!
672,151!
+672,151!
MISS!
+0!
……
Song of Ice and Fire nearly crushed his own teeth when he saw that Ray of Sunshine was almost back at full health. "Are you fucking kidding me? This Heaven Suppressing Necklace is way too OP!"
1. T/N: wow, she had HRT turned on and still got stunned in one shot? Talk about unlucky. Also, don’t all projectiles slow down within one’s Domain? This seems to suggest that she had turned it off right after using her ADS, but that seems retarded and she’s one of the smarter characters in the story ☜
