"Brother Jie! They look like one of the five guilds that surrounded Rulebound yesterday and got wiped out by us in the end."
Hearing the report from his subordinate, Wang Junjie became even more excited, "Hahaha! I was wondering who it was, turns out it's these little nobodies."
"You dared to touch my people, and now you still dare to snatch my stuff?"
"Looks like you have no idea how powerful I, Wang Junjie, am! Today I'll personally kill all of you."
As he spoke, Wang Junjie, a level 51 third-job Sword-and-Shield Warrior, pulled out his sword with a swish, "Brothers, follow me and—"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Before he could finish speaking, Wang Junjie was swallowed up by the surging crowd of Chaotic World players rushing in from behind.
One minute later, Wang Junjie climbed up from the ground with a mouthful of dirt, both hands clutching his crotch, his face twisted in pain.
"Damn it!"
"Which bastard stepped on my balls?"
"This is too much!"
———
Under Tyrant's orders, the seven hundred Storm Guild players held their ground outside the well entrance.
They immediately clashed head-on with the massive army of the Chaotic World guild.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As the frontline knights and warriors collided and engaged in close combat, the archers and mages in the rear on both sides also unleashed full firepower.
Endless arrows and rain of flames flew over the heads of their frontline allies, raining down into the enemy ranks.
Amid flashing blades and clashing steel, the sounds of killing and shouting rose and fell without end.
In this fast-paced era, everything was quick.
Even battles, from the very start, went straight into a white-hot state.
And the facts proved it: whether in strength or overall power, Storm and Chaotic World were not on the same level at all.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In the intense battle, beams of white light representing death continuously lit up among the Storm players.
Storm's all-out effort looked like a joke in front of the elite forces of Chaotic World, completely unable to withstand them.
The frontline defense collapsed instantly.
As Chaotic World assassins charged straight through, the backline suffered massive casualties.
They had originally thought they could hold on for as long as possible.
But to their complete surprise, they couldn't even last a full minute.
"Damn! Chaotic World is too strong!"
"What the hell! Who was it that said back in the third-tier main city that Chaotic World kept getting beaten to death by Rulebound alone every few days? I actually believed that crap! I really thought they were weak!"
"Rulebound must be hacking or something! With this kind of strength, how could they get crushed by him?"
"Forget whether he's hacking or not! We can't hold on, brothers. If this keeps up, we're all dead!"
"Didn't the boss hire a helper? What's that guy doing? Why isn't he helping us?"
Amid the shouting, the Storm players all turned their heads and looked toward the rear, at the black-armored warrior sitting quietly on a rock not far away, completely unmoved.
Immediately, everyone felt a surge of anger.
"Damn it! We're fighting for our lives up here, and he's just sitting back there watching!"
"Did we hire a spy or something?"
"At least the boss paid him, he's not even pretending anymore? Just openly slacking off."
"The key point is, even if he wasn't slacking, it wouldn't matter! You don't seriously think one person can hold off Chaotic World, do you?"
"Who knows what the boss was thinking, only hiring one helper, and it turns out to be an actor! This is ridiculous…"
In the rear, the black-armored warrior calmly observed the situation.
His deep gaze focused on the beams of white light rising one after another within the crowd.
Each time a beam of white light appeared, his lips moved slightly, as if he were counting something.
Eighty-five.
Ninety-three.
Ninety-nine.
One hundred.
At that very moment, the black-armored warrior suddenly stood up and walked toward the battlefield ahead.
At the same time, within the ranks of Chaotic World—
"Storm really can't do it! With this kind of strength, they still dare to compete with Brother Jie for resources?"
"They're about to collapse! Brothers, push forward and wipe them out in one go! Then move into Silent Extinction Town!"
"Wait! That guy looks off!"
As soon as one person spoke, many eyes turned toward the rear of the Storm formation, focusing on the black-armored warrior slowly approaching.
They saw that as the black-armored warrior drew closer to the battlefield, streams of black light began gathering from all directions on the field, converging into his body and being absorbed.
No one noticed that the sources of those black lights were precisely the spots where players had just died in battle.
Such a strange sight drew the attention of the Chaotic World players.
"What the hell? What kind of effect is that on him? Equipment? Skill? Or some magic scroll?"
"Is he from the Storm Guild? He was just sitting there watching earlier, I thought he was just a bystander."
"Fancy tricks! If he's with Storm, then kill him along with the rest!"
So, a group of Chaotic World assassins seized an opening created by their archer teammates and charged straight toward the black-armored warrior with daggers in hand.
At the same time—
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
As endless streams of black light from the battlefield poured into his body, after absorbing one hundred strands of black light—
Buzz!
A surge of shadowy aura erupted from the black-armored warrior, so intense that the nearby Storm players caught within it felt suffocated.
"Damn! What kind of skill is this? That aura is insane!"
"This guy… maybe he wasn't pretending after all? He actually has something?"
Just as the Storm players stared at the black-armored warrior in shock, ahead, dozens of Chaotic World assassins had already rushed into his range at incredible speed.
"Die!"
At the moment those assassins raised their blades to strike—
Slash!
The black-armored warrior drew his shadow greatsword and slammed it into the ground with a single strike.
Boom!
A powerful burst of sword energy erupted from his body, instantly piercing through the bodies of dozens of Chaotic World assassins charging toward him.
In that instant, the air fell silent.
It was as if time had stopped.
The dozens of Chaotic World assassins froze in place.
The next second—
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Dozens of beams of white light shot into the sky.
Those dozen-plus level 50–51 third-job Chaotic World assassins, all at full health, were instantly wiped out.
A collective gasp spread across the battlefield.
"Holy… what kind of skill is that? The damage is insane!"
"Every Chaotic World member is third-job, and most of their gear is blue or purple quality. With that kind of strength, they still couldn't survive a single AoE skill, wiped out instantly?"
"My god! I thought this guy was just pretending, turns out he's a real top-tier expert."
"This level of power… it's comparable to Rulebound."
On the opposing side, the Chaotic World players were stunned when the black-armored warrior made his move and instantly killed dozens of their elite assassins.
Then, when they looked closely at the ID above his head, originally hidden, but now forcibly revealed in blood-red text due to killing white-name players, their shock deepened.
