Chapter 2421: 2421
Chapter 2421 – Monster-level Genius Molten Ruin, inner corridor:
After venturing further into the inner corridor, Zwei and her team reached an altar hall the size of a football field . Because of the various traps and monsters they had encountered, less than 30 players remained on the team . Of the 8 Tier 3 players the team had started with, only 6 remained . Their losses had been considerable .
“Commander, those monsters seem afraid to enter the hall,” a Tier 3 Berserker mentioned when he realized that the Mechanical Golems pacing in the corridor refused to follow them . Breathing a sigh of relief, he continued, “That was close . I almost thought we wouldn’t make it . ”
To escape War Blood’s pursuit, they had run through the inner corridor . They desperately fought the entire time, unable to relax their guard . Doing so had exhausted their Stamina and Concentration .
If they had to continue at that pace for another half an hour, War Blood wouldn’t have needed to attack; they would’ve died as soon as the Mechanical Golems caught up .
Now that they had made it to a room where the Mechanical Golems wouldn’t follow, they could finally catch a breather .
“This might be one of the inner corridor’s safe zones . Take this chance to rest up, everyone,” Zwei, the female Guardian Knight wearing a silver knight’s helmet and a black-white suit of armor, said as she glanced around the hall . “Assassins and Rangers, check this room for traps . ”
As always, Zwei’s voice sounded gentle and sacred . It was impossible to detect her fatigue . It earned even more respect from her team members .
Zwei was the team’s lead MT, and as such, she had been fighting for hours . She had even borne the burden of tanking two Grand Lords . She should’ve expended more Stamina and Concentration than any of her teammates, yet she seemed perfectly fine .
The team’s Assassins and Rangers did as they were told and began to inspect the hall for traps . Meanwhile, the rest of the team sat and pulled potions from their bags, using the opportunity to restore some of their lost Stamina and Concentration .
“What should we do now, commander? War Blood’s members are likely getting close, but if we move deeper into the ruin, we’ll likely encounter a challenge we can’t overcome,” a Tier 3 female Elementalist worriedly asked as she examined her system map .
Although they had found a safe zone, it wouldn’t protect them from War Blood’s team . It was only a matter of time before War Blood caught up to them . Furthermore, they should be very close to the central corridor according to the system map . The monsters in that area were all Level 110 or higher and were too strong for players of their levels to defeat .
If they died, not only would they lose all of the Tree of Life’s branches they had acquired, but they’d also lose levels and equipment .
“If we are doomed, we might as well charge into the central corridor and meet our deaths . I refuse to let War Blood take advantage of us,” Prison Tiger, the Tier 3 Berserker, declared .
He had already thought the matter through . It did not matter whether their team ran into War Blood’s members or rushed head-long into the ruin’s heart . Both meant their annihilation . If they were going to die, either way, they might as well ensure that War Blood waste their time and energy .
The rest of the team members nodded their agreement .
They had thought that the Tree of Life’s branches would help their adventurer team’s development skyrocket, but War Blood had pushed them to the brink of annihilation . They absolutely couldn’t allow War Blood to benefit from their destruction .
“I’m afraid that isn’t for you to decide!”
Shortly after the Tier 3 Berserker’s proclamation, a deep, powerful voice echoed throughout the hall .
“Who is it?!” Prison Tiger snarled in surprise .
Everyone spun toward the speaker, only to find no one there . It confused them .
Two seconds later, however, space blurred, and several translucent figures appeared . The figures solidified after another three seconds, revealing more than 30 players at the end of the hall, and every one of them radiated the aura of Tier 3 players .
“Blood Oath!”
Prison Tiger’s expression turned grim when he saw who the man leading the group of new arrivals . He hadn’t expected War Blood’s team to catch up to them so quickly .
“That’s right . You guys really know how to run . We had to use a Tier 3 Group Invisibility Scroll just to catch up,” Blood Oath said, smiling . He then glanced at Zwei and continued, “Commander Zwei, it’s time for you to hand over the Tree of Life’s branches . Or do you still insist we take them from you?”
Blood Oath had wanted to avoid using the precious Tier 3 Group Invisibility Scroll, but when he had heard that Thirteen Thrones was on his tail, his hand had been forced .
If Thirteen Thrones’ main force caught up with Heaven’s Blade’s, not even War Blood and Starlink would be able to touch the adventurer team . Thirteen Thrones was a veteran Super Guild with a foundation that easily trumped Starlink’s and War Blood’s .
Blood Oath’s team didn’t wait for a response, and the 31 Tier 3 experts behind him moved to surround Heaven’s Blade’s members .
Heaven’s Blade’s team began to despair . They could sense that the weakest of their opponents was a Void Realm expert . Furthermore, Starlink’s Four Shadow Demons had joined War Blood on this hunt .
The Four Shadow Demons were particularly famous in the virtual gaming world . Any virtual gaming expert knew of them . During their early days, these four players had given the various super-first-rate Guilds and Super Guilds massive headaches .
Not only did those four players have Starlink’s full support in God’s Domain, but they had also reached Tier 3 . The Four Shadow Demons could likely wipe out Heaven’s Blade’s entire team on their own .
“Commander, you should get out of here . Tiger and I will hold them back . They won’t be able to get to you once you’re in the central corridor,” the Tier 3 Elementalist advised Zwei .
The Elementalist recognized that Heaven’s Blade’s team stood no chance against War Blood’s experts . Rather than involve Zwei in this meaningless battle, she’d be better off if she fled into the central corridor by herself while the rest of the team bought her time . Without needing to worry about her teammates, Zwei would have an easier time reaching the central corridor, as well .
“I’ve already told you that isn’t up to you!” Blood Oath spat . He then turned toward the Four Shadow Demons and politely requested, “I’ll have to trouble you four . ”
“Leave it to us . After all, it’s why the Guild Leader sent us,” Sword Demon agreed, nodding . He and the three other Shadow Demons then approached Heaven’s Blade’s commander . “We’ve heard plenty about you, Commander Zwei . Although we’d like a proper battle with you, we’re burdened with responsibility . I’m afraid you’ll have to take offense!”
The three other Shadow Demons then moved to surround Zwei . They were so fast that Heaven’s Blade’s other members didn’t have time to react .
“Come! I’ve waited for the chance to learn from you four!” Zwei shouted back . Her helmet hid her expression, but based on her calm tone, everyone knew she wasn’t afraid in the least . On the contrary, she burned with fighting spirit .
With her bold declaration, an immense amount of Mana burst from her body, so dense that a white mist began to manifest around her . She radiated a powerful, sacred aura, which felt as if a God had descended to the mortal plane .
“Amazing! As expected of the player to single-handedly lead Heaven’s Blade in becoming one of Dragonheart Island’s top 10 adventurer teams . I admire you for reaching that realm at such a young age!” Sword Demon praised Zwei, shocked by her performance .
Everyone believed that Zwei had only reached the initial stages of the Domain Realm and still had a long way ahead of her .
However, Sword Demon could tell that wasn’t the case . Zwei had progressed quite far into the Domain Realm . Even he had only managed the feat in his old age .
As the two teams were about to engage, a loud commotion broke out outside the hall . Everyone spun to see what had happened .
“Has Thirteen Thrones arrived?” Prison Tiger muttered hopefully .
A moment later, a figure entered the altar hall, and when they saw who it was, Heaven’s Blade’s members were shocked .
“Cleansing Flame?”
