To be honest, Fate was a game that was very balanced. No matter what class or player, as long as their levels and equipment were similar, even a top-tier expert would find it difficult to take on five players at once. However, there were always exceptions, right?
It is precisely because of the existence of exceptions in the world that many incredible things happen. However, to be fair, as far as I am concerned, I hate exceptions. After all, the so-called exceptions often represent the privileged class. Of course, this is not something that we are going to discuss in the story, so let's not go too far into it.
The reason why top-tier experts became top-tier experts, other than their skills, equipment, and levels, was because they had something that normal players did not have. For example, luck. It was undeniable that luck was a powerful ability that defied the heavens. If you don't think so, then why would some people win hundreds of millions of dollars in the lottery, while others could not win even a single dollar in their entire lives?
Such an explanation was also applicable to the three players in front of him. Apart from their excellent skills, hard work, and superior equipment and levels, they also had luck that other players didn't have. That was how they finally reached their current position.
Most of the players who came here to level up were between lvl60 and lvl65, especially on the third floor of the cathedral. There were more than a dozen spawn points here, and they were very fast. It was not a problem for a player to guard one of the spawn points for a few days. This was also one of the places where many players from major guilds fought over. However, most of the time, large guilds did not have the permission to level up here. Most of the time, the leaders of the large guilds would arrange for them to station themselves at seven or eight spawn points. This way, they would be able to level up without offending small guilds or solo players.
After all, the number of solo players in the game was still a frightening number. Most large guilds did not want to offend these solo players. It might be difficult for solo players to achieve great things, but it was easy for them to annoy the large guilds.
However, very few guilds were as arrogant as Golden Era. Their act of booking the entire place would incur the wrath of the large guilds. Ye Ci did not know if it was Breeze's idea. If it was, then Ye Ci could only say that Breeze was either an idiot who was so excited to do something that would be condemned by the entire world, or he was a ruthless person who would walk his own path.
Ye Ci did not know Breeze personally, but she knew a thing or two about his style of doing things. It was not hard to tell that Breeze was a low-profile but extremely ambitious person. Such people were the hardest to deal with.
There were only about 60 Golden Era players present. It would be difficult for such a small number of players to book the entire third floor of the cathedral. But if there were only so few of them, it meant that these players were very good.
Ye Ci was quick to confirm her thoughts. These players were extremely skilled, and their teamwork was flawless. Even when the three of them tried to kill the healers like Priests and Priests, they were unable to kill them all.
"That black-robed Priest at the back of their party is really something." Spotless Autumn dodged another concentrated fire from the enemy's DPS by a hair's breadth. He gulped down a mouthful of Haste Potion and cast an AoE Ice Spell to slow down the enemy's pursuit. If an ordinary player were to encounter a PvP battle where they were outnumbered, even if they weren't flustered, they wouldn't have the time to chat. However, these three weren't the slightest bit nervous. They were even leisurely chatting in the party channel.
"Yeah. He's probably equipped with some Haste equipment. It'll be difficult to catch him." Ye Ci nodded. She had fought the Priest before, but the Priest was really good at hiding. Every time she was about to hit him, he would cleverly dodge her arrows and hide behind the Warriors or Paladins around him. Ye Ci's attacks were ineffective against him.
"What's more annoying is that he has a lot of healing. Our efforts will be in vain if we don't kill him," said Fleeting Time calmly. Said Fleeting Time calmly. The Cleric was around lvl63 or lvl64, making him one of the higher leveled players in the game. His equipment was excellent, and his positioning was superb. Not only did he manage to evade the attacks, he was also able to save a few players who were on the brink of death. It was truly a headache for Fleeting Time.
"I don't want to waste any more time. I don't get any EXP from fighting them. They'll only make me more famous. I can't be bothered to fight them." After a while, Ye Ci was finally annoyed. The Priest, a Warrior and a Paladin were able to work together seamlessly. Their attacks were all in vain, and the Priest was the reason why less than 10 of the 60 players in the party were taken down.
The trio could not afford to engage in a battle of attrition. There were only three of them, and no matter how strong they were, they would not be able to take on dozens of enemies at once. They could only rely on a surprise attack to end the battle as quickly as possible. If the battle dragged on for too long, the trio's chances of victory would be greatly increased due to the exhaustion of their potions.
"What do you plan to do?" asked Fleeting Time with a smile. He already knew what Ye Ci was planning.
"I'm going to kill them! My pet's level may not be as high as theirs, but as long as they're not wearing Mithril Shirts, I'll be able to burn them to death! "Ye Ci was clearly annoyed by the constant tug-of-war between the two parties.
"Do you need my help?" Fleeting Time smiled arrogantly, "Let's end the battle."
Ye Ci was suddenly reminded of something, "Do you have an aerial steed?"
"I have one."
"What is it?"
"It's slightly weaker than your pet." Fleeting Time narrowed his eyes, but did not reveal the details.
Fleeting Time's words could only mean two things. First, he must know that Ol 'Six was her pet, and he must be aware of Ol' Six's combat level. Second, his aerial steed was an extremely powerful race. There were only a few races that were slightly weaker than the Dragon race in Fate, and even fewer of them could fly. Could it be …
Ye Ci did not bother to guess. She had already summoned Ol 'Six, who was panting heavily. Despite the height of the third floor of the cathedral, Ol' Six was unable to fly, which was something that Ol 'Six was frustrated about. Fortunately, Ol 'Six's combat ability on land was not bad, but its running speed was much slower than when it was in the air. Fortunately, its Dragon Breath could reach a great distance, which greatly alleviated the awkwardness of its short legs.
Ye Ci heard the crisp cry of a bird the moment Ol 'Six appeared. She turned around and saw a gigantic bird covered in flaming feathers standing not too far away from her.
Ye Ci could not help but spit out a mouthful of saliva. It really is a Phoenix. I should have known. Phoenix was the only aerial steed that was slightly weaker than the Dragon race. Although the Phoenix's Combat Rank was one level lower than the Sacred Dragon, the Phoenix had an extremely overpowered skill, Nirvana Rebirth. It had a cooldown of four hours. In other words, if the Phoenix died in battle within four hours, it could immediately revive. This was invisibly heaven-defying.
"You guys are such bullies! There's no way I can win this! " Spotless Autumn could not help but complain when he saw the two players slacking off behind their pets after summoning two gigantic monsters.
"Spotless Autumn, it's very unsightly of you to care about a single gold coin." Ye Ci reprimanded Spotless Autumn as she directed Ol 'Six to unleash its Dragon Breath at the players of Golden Era.
Spotless Autumn did not think that being stingy was a bad thing. He stood between Ol 'Six and the Phoenix, and replied calmly, "Many grains of sand make a tower."
What a joke.
If the battle between the three of them and the players of Golden Era was a battle of skill, then the current battle was a one-sided slaughter. Without Mithril equipment, there was no way a player could fight against high-level creatures like the Dragon and the Phoenix.
Fleeting Time's words were indeed true. He ended the battle in less than a minute, from summoning his two pets to harvesting the corpses. Aside from the corpses of the Golden Era players, the monsters on the third floor of the cathedral had also dropped a large number of Honor Points, EXP, Sin Points, and equipment.
Most of the players in Golden Era were not fond of bickering, but there were still some who liked to bicker. A few of the corpses had popped up with chat boxes filled with greetings for Fleeting Time and the female members of Ye Ci's family. However, the duo ignored all of the chat boxes, as the Cleric's voice was filled with a very important message.
"Don't you think it's foolish of you to challenge Golden Era directly? So what if you're a top-tier player? Do you think you can challenge the entire Golden Era? "
His words were reasonable, but Ye Ci could not help but feel that he was being pressured by Ye Ci's words. She sneered, "So what do you want? Do you want the three of us to lie down and let you have your way with us? "
"That's not going to happen." The Cleric said, "Apologize to us in the world channel, and we'll let this matter rest. But if you don't …"
Ye Ci could not be bothered with the Cleric's nonsense. She turned to Spotless Autumn and said, "Let's sell the equipment we dropped. It'll be enough for you to level up for a month."
"Wow, Gongzi You, you're such a good person!" Spotless Autumn immediately went to collect the equipment happily.
"We want a share." Fleeting Time did not want Spotless Autumn to get what he wanted. Spotless Autumn's heart sank, and he staggered as he picked up the loot.
The Cleric was enraged when he saw that the trio were not paying attention to him, "Gongzi You, Fleeting Time, you'll regret this!"
The only response he received was the backs of the duo, and Spotless Autumn's joyful jog after picking up the equipment.
The map was not large, and the graveyard was not far away. Ye Ci and her companions were not surprised to see Golden Era's players again when they left the cathedral. However, the number of players this time was much larger than before. Ye Ci stood at the top of the stairs of the cathedral and looked down. There were at least four to five hundred players gathered below, and the leader of the group was the Cleric she had met earlier. The Cleric spoke to Ye Ci, "Gongzi You, Fleeting Time, Spotless Autumn, I've told you that you'll regret this."
Before he could finish his sentence, he heard the sound of an arrow whistling through the air. A flaming arrow pierced through his throat. The arrow was so fast that no one could see how Gongzi You made her move. The arrow had already sent the Cleric back to the graveyard with a huge amount of damage.
Another chaotic battle ensued. Even though Ol 'Six and the Phoenix were able to unleash their full potential, the battle was not an easy one. Since there was a lot of space, the Golden Era players were prepared. They all drank Speed Potions and ran as fast as they could. They kited the two aerial mounts as they ran, but they still lost quite a bit of health.
However, their efforts were futile. Even though they were not hit by the Dragon's Breath, they still took some damage. The Clerics were unable to heal the distant players, and after a few rounds, Golden Era's players had lost quite a few of their own. Just as Ye Ci and her companions were about to give chase, the Cleric suddenly shouted, "Don't panic! Our reinforcements are coming! "
Ye Ci felt a headache coming. She had no intention of continuing the fight with Golden Era. After all, she did not have the time to engage in PvP with them. She had planned to leave this place with Ol 'Six as soon as she was done with this batch of players. But if another batch of reinforcements were to arrive, how long would it take for her to leave this place?
Golden Era's players were not afraid of death, but she was the one who found it a waste of time!
The Cleric's words did not excite the Golden Era players. Fighting against the aerial steeds was like throwing an egg at a rock. Even if reinforcements were to arrive, they would still die. Even with the Cleric's encouragement, the Golden Era players were not in the mood to fight.
Just as Ye Ci thought that the battle was about to end, she heard a familiar voice, "Gongzi You, long time no see."
Ye Ci steadied Ol 'Six and lowered it slightly. She looked at the person who had just arrived. She did not know how to respond to his greeting. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
