Ling Yi City, Candlelight:
Due to the Otherworld Gate's activation, a large number of independent players had flooded into the Starmoon Kingdom, making Candlelight even more crowded than before.
Meanwhile, on the second floor of an open-air restaurant outside Candlelight, three cloaked players enjoyed a delicious meal while curiously admiring the bustling street below.
If a player with an Advanced Identification Skill were to observe these three players, they would be surprised.
This was because these three players weren't human at all. Among the three players, one was an elegant Half-elf beauty, the other was a Half-cat woman with a pair of furry ears and a tail, and the third was a Half-tiger man with a powerful aura.
These three players were none other than Melody and her companions from Ninth Heaven.
"Big Sis Melody, Ling Yi City is so bustling! I think it's even more prosperous than Forest City! There are over a hundred Tier 2 experts roaming the streets! "Scarlet Heart exclaimed as she gazed at the sea of players below.
"Indeed. I never thought that a kingdom's Guild City could develop to such an extent." Melody was similarly surprised when she saw the number of Tier 2 experts roaming the streets.
Before she had arrived in the Starmoon Kingdom, she had asked Thoughtful Rain about the Ling YI Society.
However, she still doubted Thoughtful Rain's claims. She had claimed that Zero Wing's city had a player population of 5,000,000 and that experts roamed the city's streets. Moreover, Zero Wing City sold plenty of rare items, and it was no less prosperous than Forest City.
However, now that she had arrived in Ling Yi City, she realized that Ling Yi City was even more impressive than Thoughtful Rain had described.
At that time, there were as many experts as dogs, and Stage Two experts were everywhere.
Tier 2 experts!
Even in Forest City, Tier 2 experts were exceedingly rare. Only a first-rate Guild like Ninth Heaven had nurtured over 30 Tier 2 experts, yet the number of Tier 2 experts roaming the streets of Ling Yi City far exceeded the number of Tier 2 experts Ninth Heaven possessed.
Even Ling Yi City had developed to such an extent. She could not imagine how powerful the Ling YI Society would be.
"Guild Leader, although the Ling YI Society is stronger than we expected, I still don't think the Ling YI Society will be able to help Ninth Heaven. After all, Ninth Heaven's opponent is the legendary Death God Workshop. The Death God Workshop has even dared to oppose Super Guilds. In the end, Super Guilds had no choice but to turn a blind eye to the Workshop's actions." "On the other hand, I feel that agreeing to Setting Sun's conditions is more reasonable. Moreover, Setting Sun's Guild Leader has a close relationship with your Guild Leader. Whether it is for the sake of benefits or connections, he will help Ninth Heaven wholeheartedly. Moreover, with Setting Sun's strength as a new super-first-rate Guild, the Death God Workshop will, more or less, be afraid.
The Workshop might give up. "" You don't need to say anything. Setting Sun might be stronger, but I definitely won't agree to become their subordinate Guild, even if it means fighting the Death God Workshop to the bitter end! "Melody said coldly.
Ninth Heaven had gone to great lengths to complete the quest in the Flame Demon's Valley and obtain the treasure. However, news of the quest had leaked to the Death God Workshop. As a result, the Death God Workshop had started harassing Ninth Heaven.
The Death God Workshop was not a Guild. It was an organized adventurer team. The Workshop's whereabouts were unpredictable, and it had plenty of experts. However, Ninth Heaven was different. The Workshop was a large organization with a fixed base of operations. It was easy to imagine the outcome of a confrontation with the Workshop.
Moreover, the Death God Workshop had experts capable of going toe-to-toe with Super Guilds' ruthless experts. These experts had often resorted to guerilla warfare against Ninth Heaven, yet Ninth Heaven had been helpless against the Workshop. This was also why Super Guilds had turned a blind eye to the Workshop's actions.
"Big Sis Melody, it's about time. Rain and the others should be back at Ling Yi's Residence by now," Scarlet Heart said after taking a look at the time.
"Alright, let's go." Melody took a look at the time. It was almost time to meet with Thoughtful Rain. She then stood up and prepared to leave.
Meanwhile, on a street corner a short distance away from Candlelight, Dark Sickle, who wore a Black Cloak, followed two players from the Unbounded adventurer team. The two Unbounded adventurer team members had not noticed Dark Sickle's presence.
"There are enough people here. We should be able to cause quite a commotion." Dark Sickle, who wore a Black Cloak that only revealed his eyes and aura, could not help but lick his lips as he observed his surroundings.
The quest Wind Hunter had given him was very simple. Aside from killing the adventurer team members heading to join Ling Yi, he also needed to kill a large number of players in Ling Yi City. He needed to let every player in the Starmoon Kingdom know the consequences of joining the Ling YI Society, even if they stayed in a Guild City guarded by NPC soldiers.
By doing so, not only would he serve as a warning to the various adventurer teams, but he would also let other players know that Ling Yi City was a dangerous place and that players could lose their lives at any moment. This would cool down the city's flames.
In the past, he might have been afraid of the NPC soldiers patrolling the streets, but now that he could transform into an Evil Dragon, he didn't even fear Level 80 Tier 3 NPCs, much less Level 80 Tier 2 NPCs. The only thing he was worried about was the kingdom's army. After all, those NPCs were Level 100-plus. Killing him would be a piece of cake.
However, he had a Tier 3 Instantaneous Movement Scroll on him. If he encountered any of those NPCs, he could escape immediately.
"Attack!" Wind Hunter, who watched from a distance, commanded Dark Sickle when he saw Unbounded's two players approaching Candlelight.
Hearing Wind Hunter's command, Dark Sickle retrieved a crimson crystal from his bag and crushed it.
As the crimson crystal shattered, a stream of energy flowed into Dark Sickle's body. In the next moment, the magic runes engraved on Dark Sickle's body began to shatter as if a seal had been undone.
As the runes on his body shattered, Dark Sickle bellowed. His muscles began to swell, and his Black Cloak shattered. Meanwhile, the passing players were stupefied when they saw Dark Sickle's transformation.
Before these players could react, Dark Sickle had transformed into an Evil Dragon that was over a dozen meters tall.
"Roar!"
Dark Sickle's roar echoed throughout Ling Yi City's streets.
"A Dragon?"
"What's going on? Why is a Dragon here? "
When the players on the street saw the mountain-like Evil Dragon, they couldn't help but panic. Everyone present could feel the threat of death radiating from the Evil Dragon.
Meanwhile, Dark Sickle flapped his wings and appeared above Unbounded's two players.
"Unbounded adventurer team! Since you dare join the Ling Yi Society, this will be your fate!" Dark Sickle bellowed as he swung his claw at Unbounded's two players. "Die!"
Whether it was the scholarly man or the young Tier 2 Swordsman, they felt powerless in the face of the descending Dragon Claw. All they could see was an afterimage of the Dragon Claw. Meanwhile, the Dragon Claw's power even caused the space around it to become unstable. The powerful pressure it exerted made it hard for them to breathe.
"It's over!" Unbounded's Swordsman youth despaired.
Just as the Dragon's claw was about to land on the two players' heads, a blue lightning bolt flashed.
