At the moment the black-armored warrior's ID was forcibly revealed above his head in blood-red text, whether it was Storm or Chaotic World, players on both sides were completely stunned.
"Holy crap! Rank 3 on the Heavenly Rankings?"
"Shadow Sword God… is that a title?"
"No, that's not right. Titles appear at the very front of the name. Dark Hunter is his title. This Shadow Sword God has replaced the class slot, he's… a hidden class!"
Everyone present fell into shock.
Even Wang Junjie.
"What the hell? There are hidden classes in Divine Oracle?"
"Damn it, I've spent so much money and haven't seen a single hidden class! You damn devs, come out here! I've got something to say to you."
As Black Night's identity was exposed, hidden class + Rank 3 on the Heavenly Rankings instantly elevated his presence to a level that no one on the field could reach.
The players of Chaotic World began to feel fear.
"Didn't expect this guy to actually be a hidden class user! I've been playing Divine Oracle this long, and this is the first time I've seen one!"
"Even that cheater Rulebound is just a normal class. The value of a hidden class… it's probably higher than an S-rank talent, right?"
"Didn't you see how terrifying the damage from his move just now was? Can an S-rank do that? If we have to compare it to talents, I'd say his class strength is at least on the level of an SS-rank talent."
"Damn! That's insane."
Seeing his own people praising the enemy and boosting others while undermining themselves,
Wang Junjie grew furious, "It's just a hidden class! What's so impressive about it? The strength is average at best, not even worth a fart compared to Rulebound."
"Once Divine Oracle opens its recharge system, I'll get each of you a hidden class."
"Enough talk, cut him down! Get me that S-rank skill book from Silent Extinction Town first."
Although Black Night's ability to instantly kill over a dozen full-health, third-job Chaotic World assassins with a single skill was indeed shocking, Chaotic World still relied on their overwhelming numbers and didn't take him too seriously.
With Wang Junjie's command, they continued their assault on both the Storm Guild players and Black Night.
The Storm players fought desperately. Even with the support of a hidden-class Shadow Sword God, they were still suffering heavy casualties and were no match for Chaotic World.
Seeing this, Wang Junjie laughed arrogantly, "I told you! What's a hidden class worth? What's the use of him being strong alone?"
"When you're out here, it's all about power in numbers."
On the battlefield, seeing that his side was outnumbered, Black Night immediately withdrew from the front line.
As soon as he retreated, the Storm players could no longer hold back Chaotic World.
When they turned back, they saw Black Night had retreated to the side of the well.
Just as the Storm players were wondering what he was planning to do,
Black Night spoke to those around him, "Protect me. Don't let them get close."
After saying that—
Slash!
Black Night planted his greatsword into the ground.
The next moment—
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
All the black light he had previously absorbed burst out from his body at once.
Those black lights scattered around him, like beans turning into soldiers, transforming into shadowy figures one after another.
Then, one hundred shadow figures, each holding a blade, charged into the enemy ranks.
What was unbelievable was that every single one of these [Shadow Sword Puppets] was no weaker than Black Night himself.
They perfectly replicated Black Night's attributes, equipment, and basic skills.
It was as if a hundred Black Nights had appeared on the battlefield at once.
They were unstoppable, sweeping through everything in their path.
Slash! Slash! Slash!
With overwhelming damage output, wherever the Shadow Sword Puppets passed, Chaotic World players were cut down one after another.
This scene made the smile on Wang Junjie's face freeze instantly.
"Damn it!"
"This hidden class is basically a cheat."
The Chaotic World players were equally stunned, "Normally, for skills that summon puppets, the more puppets there are, the weaker they get. How is he summoning so many, and every single one is this strong?"
"This hidden class is completely broken."
Watching his guild's elite being slaughtered by the Shadow Sword Puppets summoned by Black Night, and without his strategist by his side to command, Wang Junjie began to lose his composure.
At that moment, Zhuge Jie, who was resting offline, learned about the situation through frontline updates and sent a remote message to Wang Junjie, "His main body isn't moving. The key to breaking this must lie with his main body."
"Brother Jie, ignore the puppets, attack Black Night's real body."
'So that's it.'
It was like Wang Junjie suddenly grew a brain.
He pointed at Black Night, who stood motionless by the well with his sword planted in the ground, and shouted, "Kill him first!"
The Shadow Sword Puppets released by Black Night, with their overwhelming lethality, gave the Storm players a glimmer of hope.
Seeing the Chaotic World players target Black Night, they remembered his earlier instruction.
"Protect him! Everyone, protect Black Night! Don't let Chaotic World attack his main body!"
With a shout, all the Storm Guild players withdrew from the front line, switching from offense to defense, forming layers of protection around Black Night.
They left the fighting entirely to the hundred Shadow Sword Puppets.
Their sole responsibility became guarding Black Night.
The Chaotic World players couldn't break through the layers upon layers of Storm protection to reach Black Night.
Meanwhile, under Black Night's mental control, the Shadow Sword Puppets also shifted from offense to defense.
Because although the puppets were powerful, they weren't invincible.
And Black Night's only instruction was to guard the hidden passage and prevent Chaotic World from entering Silent Extinction Town.
As a result, for the time being, Chaotic World found it difficult to break through the combined defense of Storm and the puppets.
———
At the same time, inside Silent Extinction Town—
After learning that outside, Black Night alone had turned the tide and was holding off the entire Chaotic World guild, Vice Guild Leader Tyrannosaur asked Tyrant in disbelief, "Boss, where did you find this hidden-class Shadow Sword God? He's actually this strong."
Tyrant sneered, "Not only is he capable, he's cheap too."
"He has a daughter with leukemia who urgently needs a lot of medical expenses. As long as you pay him, he's just a mindless killing machine."
Taking advantage of the fact that Chaotic World players were being held outside and couldn't get in, Tyrant led several hundred of his men in a frenzy of hunting Silent Extinction Sorcerers.
After killing an unknown number of them, they finally saw the barrier covering the golden chest begin to fade.
Tyrant walked up to the chest, crouched down, and opened it.
Sure enough, he obtained a skill book from inside.
[S-rank Skill Book: Allows the user to select a class and obtain an S-rank skill book under certain conditions…]
Holding the skill book in his hand, Tyrant was overjoyed.
"Heh! Heh…"
"Finally got it!"
