Chapter 406: Small Fate—Top Dogs

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It was out of Ron and Thousand Face’s expectations…

Just as the duo was fully confident that their killing plan would definitely finish Qin Ruo off, the Thunder Hawk’s Air Dive did not create the effect that it was supposed to!

Rip!!

Around Qin Ruo’s body, something was definitely ripped open. However, it was not the Frostbarrier, but a strip of Water Element ribbon, which Qin Ruo had prepared earlier…

Magic Penetration spelled death for Elementalists. How could Qin Ruo possibly not study it? Moreover, Poochie was a little antecessor of Magic Penetration, so Qin Ruo’s understanding of the attack was top notch.

Since the Thunder Hawk initially ripped open his barrier and Darkfrost Shield in an instant, Qin Ruo had already orchestrated a plan to deal with the Thunder Hawk. Before the battle, he purposely layered the Water Element over his barrier. After he used an Elemental Array, the smooth and transparent Water Element ribbon was camouflaged above the Frostbarrier. Therefore, it was hard to notice it.

Even though he was startled when the Thunder Hawk suddenly teleported and arrived in front of him, the layer of Water Element had successfully gotten the Thunder Hawk stuck at a slightly distant position…

The Thunder Hawk received orders to use Air Dive to kill Qin Ruo. But if it was glued to its current position, Magic Penetration could not happen.

Since the first thing that the Thunder Hawk had to face was the Water Element ribbon, its attack landed on it, ripping it apart instead of the Frostbarrier. Furthermore, it was only an ordinary Water Element ribbon, the density of which was arranged just to buy time.

As the battle notification reached Ron and Thousand Face’s ears, both their faces changed!

However, there was not enough time…

Just as Majestic Hero and Black God had described…

The battle was over!

Boom!!!

An intense, deafening explosion rose from within the corridor! Crashing sounds of gigantic waves flowed towards both ends of the corridor…

At the moment of the explosion, the Thunder Hawk was thoroughly devoured by the countless Frostramparts, which Qin Ruo suddenly detonated!

…

Qin Ruo had nothing good to say about anyone from Netherspirit’s Claw; especially about someone who would hang out with a person like Ron and backdoor him.

Even if Thousand Face had suggested a one-on-one death duel, Qin Ruo knew that the enemy did it just to save his reputation in front of Majestic Hero and Black God. Thousand Face was also likely worried that the previous battle would be recorded and spread to the official forum.

Towards a person like that, Qin Ruo similarly showed no shred of compassion.

That moment when the Thunder Hawk ripped through the Water Element ribbon, four Frostramparts had exploded from below, instantly killing the Hawk, which no longer had much HP left!

“Bastard!”

Even if a killed Pet was resurrected, its level would be lowered. Thousand Face had painstakingly trained the Thunder Hawk to Tier 5. Falling back to Level 40 would take him more than two days to bring its level back up. He roared in anger and quickly flipped the Magic Scroll in his hand open—The target was the Shadowfox!

“Chaos Rock Spears!”

As soon as his voice rang, innumerable solid rock spears fell from above accompanied by sky-splitting sounds. They shot towards the Shadowfox on the ground…

“…Rich fella!”

Qin Ruo laughed coldly in secret. The opposite party had directly used a Tier 5 Magic Scroll on a Pet—every single one of those Chaos Rock Spears was probably worth as much as a Pet Egg in the store. (The higher the level of magic, the more Mana Core Fragments needed, and the lower the success rate)

Unfortunately, the unit-target attack would not work at all. Poochie leaped and bounced with agility, avoiding the crashing Chaos Rock Spears…

Ron watched anxiously from outside the battlefield.

Prior to the battle, he had collected extensive information about the Shadowfox and was very aware of its abilities. He shouted to advise Thousand Face, “Use AoE attacks! The Shadowfox’s skill in evasion is too great!”

Thousand Face had gone completely mad. He used scroll after scroll and started to brazenly throw out magic under the cover of a Chaos Rockwall…

Yet, he seemed to have forgotten one thing…

Lycan Barrage!

From the time he ordered the Thunder Hawk to use Blink Strike to avoid the Lycan Barrage and use Magic Penetration on Qin Ruo’s barrier, the Lycan Barrage had been floating about in the air space right above him…

Once the Thunder Hawk died, Qin Ruo got Poochie to use all of its might to avoid any attack that came its way. He then quickly controlled the Lycan Barrage to begin his attack on Thousand Face who was right below it!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Target hit! Thousand Face has been attacked; Earth Shield Defense took 189 damage!

Target hit! Thousand Face has been attacked; Earth Shield destroyed!

On the Lycan Barrage’s second Target Hit, Thousand Face’s protective Earth Shield was completely shattered. Thousand Face sustained some damage too as the impact force hit his Earth Barrier.

Earth Barrier has been compromised; Earth Barrier Defense takes 418 damage!

Thousand Face takes 137 damage!

The third wave of Lycan Barrage landed…

Behind the barrier, Thousand Face was struck heavily like lightning, and the attack violently took away over 580 HP. His Defense plummeted to only a little over 90, plus his barrier became shaky and fragile!

“Ron! Go, quickly!”

During that final stage, Thousand Face knew that there was nothing else he could do. While his barrier could still resist one last wave of attack, he made use of the timeframe he had and screamed madly, quickly changing the Magic Scroll in his hands…

“Great Earth Wail!”

…

Horrifying magic tremors started to spread from afar! Even Majestic Hero and Black God’s spectator seat received quite the disturbance. Their robes fluttered loudly amidst the suffocating blast of air.

“Hmph, this person’s really pathetic. Does he thinks he’s the savior of the world?”

Looking at how Thousand Face brought out Tier 5 Earth-Type Magic Scrolls on the battlefield, Black God commented in a mocking manner…

Majestic Hero stared hard at him and commented dully, “Can’t you speak more politely? Everything needs to be covered with blood for you to finally leave it alone…”

Black God gently scoffed, but he could not deny it.

…

Great Earth Wail…

Tier 5 Earth-Type AoE Magic Attack!

What suddenly burst out was not just a terrifying stampede, but also an attack with very powerful gravitational force; the moment the Magic Scroll was released, Qin Ruo could feel a shocking pressure from all directions, compressing his Frostbarrier.

The surrounding stone fragments and corpses, all looked like they were being crushed to bits by a heavy-duty rock processing machine. They instantaneously turned into powder and paste.

And his Darkfrost Shield instantly broke!

The most dismal part was, as he received the impact, Qin Ruo felt the Angelic Wings on his back suddenly withdraw into his body and vanish. Unguarded, he fell out of the sky…

“F*ck!”

The shocking unforeseen change had the few people on the scene bewildered.

Tier 5 AoE Magic could also cause damage to Angelic Wings?!

Nevertheless, the change did not help the hopeless Thousand Face, who was now out of moves, to salvage his ending… As Qin Ruo fell from the sky, three Lycan Barrage skulls punctured Thousand Face’s body!

Hostile attack on player. Thousand Face has lost 1 Honor Point.

…

“Ugh!”

Upon Thousand Face’s death, Ron immediately lost his courage to stick around. He also did not have the mood to taunt his enemy, Qin Ruo, who was frantically falling through the air. He cursed silently, turned around quickly, and disappeared into the corridor.

Looking at Ron’s disappearing silhouette, Qin Ruo violently landed on the ground—without his Angelic Wings, chasing after Ron before he canceled the battle was impossible. What a waste! He got away this time. And since he was crafty in nature, there would not be much of a chance to face him one-on-one in the future.

“Lucky you.”

Qin Ruo muttered in dissatisfaction. Suddenly remembering that there were two other spectators behind him, he quickly turned around to glance at Majestic Hero and Black God…

Majestic Hero and Black God had already landed right behind him.

As for the Darkspirit Archer whose HP he had reduced by almost half, it had been reduced to a whole mess of shattered bones, unable to lift itself up.

“Thank you both for earlier,” Qin Ruo said.

“No biggie.”

“We just couldn’t overlook it. It was nothing.”

Black God and Majestic Hero nodded and spoke, “You’ll need to be more cautious from now on… You seem to be offending more and more people from Netherspirit’s Claw. When you go out, you’ve gotta keep your eyes open.”

Qin Ruo was silent.

He nodded but paid them no mind. As long as there were not many crooked lizards like that around, the guys from Netherspirit’s Claw could not do anything to him.

While they spoke, Qin Ruo scanned the “Majestic” insignia on Majestic Hero’s chest and Black God’s “Jail” insignia from top to bottom. He was slightly stunned. He then switched his gaze to Majestic Hero and asked, “You guys are from Hall of Heroes… I guess you know White Wine?”

Majestic Hero blanked out slightly. He blinked a couple of times before he lowered his head and squeezed his nose. He laughed bitterly and responded while an entertained Black God watched, “Of course we know him. He even mentioned you…”

“Is he doing well?”

When Qin Ruo left Dark Dragon’s party in the Graveyard of the Gods to party up with White Wine, Qin Ruo already had a good impression of him. Just that, they lost contact after their encounter.

“Yep, he’s preparing to break through Tier 5; oh yeah, he even told me that he thought of pulling you into our League. What do you think? Would you be interested?”

Majestic Hero suddenly laughed and posed the question to Qin Ruo.

As heard this, Black God was flabbergasted, and he could not open his mouth properly. He glared right at Majestic Hero. “Hey! I told you not to compete with me!”

“I’m not, I’m just asking.” Majestic Hero looked at him innocently.

“Despicable!”

Black God cursed and could not hold back anymore. He tried to convince Qin Ruo, “Qin Ruo, ignore him. Entering a League is no fun, why don’t you join my Black Jail Clan… We only have over five hundred brothers and we all know each other and are very close. Come hang out in my Clan.”

“Black Jail? You’re—”

Qin Ruo looked at Black God hesitantly.

“Black God, Black Jail’s top dog!” Majestic Hero suddenly interrupted.

Black God rolled his eyes in annoyance. “You’re the one who’s Hall of Heroes’ top dog! Describing Black Jail like some kind of mafia clan… Sh*t!”

‘Black… Black God?’

Qin Ruo was a little dazed.

The haughty person in front of him was the leader of Black Jail, which was rumored to be the most mysteriously-built Clan with a pure, elite army?

‘Then that means… Wait, top dog of Hall of Heroes?!?!’

“You’re Majestic Hero?”

Qin Ruo’s jaw fell wide open as he stared at both of them and thought of how they flew over with Angelic Wings. He also thought of how Ron and Thousand Face dared not threaten them, and finally took a cold breath.

…Could he have been so lucky?! Actually bumping into two top players from the Angel Faction in a place like that?
