Molten Ruin's inner corridor:
Zwei led the team deeper into the corridor until they reached an altar hall the size of a football field. Due to the Magic Traps and monsters' pursuit, the team had less than 30 players remaining. Of the team's original eight Tier 3 players, only six remained. It was no exaggeration to say that the team had suffered heavy losses.
"Commander, those monsters don't seem to dare enter." A Tier 3 Berserker breathed out a sigh of relief when he saw the Mechanical Puppets roaming the corridor. "That was close. I thought we were going to die here."
To avoid War Blood's pursuit, they had risked their lives to reach this place. They had fought as they advanced, and their nerves had been stretched taut at every moment.
Both their Stamina and Concentration had been greatly depleted.
These Mechanical Puppets would've killed them in less than half an hour. They wouldn't even need War Blood's help.
Now that they had reached a place where the Mechanical Puppets didn't dare pursue them, they could finally catch a breather.
"This might be a safety point set up by the inner corridor. Everyone, rest here for now," Zwei Liuli, who was dressed in silver armor and silver armor, said as she glanced at the team. Crape Myrtle, who was wearing silver armor with black stripes and a silver knight's helmet, scanned the entire hall. He then ordered, "Assassins and rangers, check this place and see if there are any traps."
As usual, Zwei's voice was filled with an indescribable gentleness. Her voice was as sacred as the sound of nature, and she didn't seem tired at all. Everyone in the team felt an indescribable sense of awe toward her.
As the team's lead MT, not only had she fought for several hours, but she had also kept two Grand Lords busy. Her Stamina and Concentration were far more depleted than theirs.
They felt as if they were on the verge of breaking down, yet Zwei seemed completely fine.
Under Zwei's command, the team's Assassins and Rangers sprang into action, searching the hall for traps. The rest of the team also took out potions to recover their Stamina and Concentration.
"Commander, what should we do next? War Blood shouldn't be too far away from us, but if we go any deeper, we might get annihilated, "a female Tier 3 Elementalist beside Zwei Liuli said worriedly as she looked at the map.
Although they were currently in a safe zone, War Blood was hot on their trail. It was only a matter of time before War Blood discovered this area. Moreover, according to the map, they had already reached the center of the inner corridor. Most of the monsters there were Level 110 or higher, far stronger than the monsters they had encountered before.
If they died, not only would they lose all the branches they had obtained from the Tree of Life, but they would also lose a significant amount of their levels and equipment.
"If worse comes to worst, we'll just charge in and die. In any case, I definitely won't let War Blood's members off so easily," the Tier 3 Berserker, Prison Tiger, said.
He had already thought this through. Since he was going to die either way, he might as well let Zhan Xue's efforts go to waste.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Originally, Heaven's Blade had been able to rely on the Tree of Life's branches to soar into the sky. However, War Blood was the reason why they had been reduced to such a state. Naturally, they couldn't let War Blood take advantage of them.
"I'm afraid this matter is not up to you!"
Shortly after the Tier 3 Berserker finished speaking, a deep voice echoed throughout the hall.
"Who is it?"
Tiger's Cage was startled. He involuntarily roared as he stared at the source of the voice.
However, there was not a single person in sight. This situation confused everyone. However, less than two seconds later, the space around them began to blur, and a few translucent figures appeared.
In less than three seconds, these translucent figures appeared before them. There were over 30 of them, and every one of them radiated the aura of a bona fide Tier 3 player.
"Blood Oath!"
Prison Tiger's expression turned grim when he saw the man leading this group of players. He hadn't expected Blood Oath to catch up to them so quickly.
"That's right. You guys are quite capable. You actually made it this far. I had to use a Tier 3 Group Invisibility Scroll to deal with you guys," Blood Oath said, smiling at Myrtle. "Commander Zwei, it's time for you to hand over the Tree of Life's branch. Or, do you want us to take action?"
Blood Oath hadn't intended to use the Tier 3 Group Invisibility Scroll, but he had received news that Thirteen Thrones' forces were on the move. He had no choice but to speed up.
If he allowed Heaven's Blade's main force to join forces with Thirteen Thrones' main force, even War Blood and Starlink would be helpless against them. After all, Thirteen Thrones was a bona fide Super Guild. Its foundations weren't something Starlink and War Blood could compare to.
After Blood Oath said so, the 31 Tier 3 experts behind him moved to surround Heaven's Blade.
Prison Tiger and Heaven's Blade's experts despaired when they saw this group of players.
Even the weakest of these Tier 3 experts was a peak expert. Aside from the War Blood experts they were familiar with, even Starlink's Four Shadow Demons, who were Domain Realm experts, had arrived.
Every expert in the virtual gaming world knew of the Four Shadow Demons' fame.
In the past, the four Shadow Demons had given the various super-first-rate Guilds and Super Guilds headaches. Now that they had Starlink's full support and had reached Tier 3, these four Shadow Demons could most likely annihilate every one of Heaven's Blade's experts.
"Commander, you should go first. Prison Tiger and I will hold these people back. Once we reach the central corridor, even they won't be able to do anything to us," the female Elementalist hurriedly said. She already understood the situation.
If a fight broke out between the two sides, only death would await them. Hence, it would be better for them to hold off War Blood and the others while Myrtle charged into the central corridor alone. After all, they had been the ones holding Myrtle back. Without them, Myrtle would have an easier time.
"I've already said that this isn't up to you!" Blood Oath said as he glanced at the Four Shadow Demons beside him. "I'll have to trouble you four."
"Leave it to us. After all, this is the Guild Leader's task," Sword Demon said, nodding. Sword Demon nodded. He then led the other three Shadow Demons toward Myrtle. "Commander Myrtle, we've heard a lot about you. Although we'd like to have a good fight with you, we still have a quest to complete. Sorry for the offense!"
After saying so, the three Shadow Demons surrounded Myrtle in the blink of an eye. They were so fast that Heaven's Blade's other members didn't even have time to react.
"Come! I've always wanted to spar with the four of you!" Although Crape Myrtle wore a silver helmet, which hid her face, everyone could clearly sense that she wasn't afraid of the four Domain Realm experts. On the contrary, she was brimming with fighting spirit.
As soon as Myrtle finished speaking, a frightening amount of Mana erupted from her body. The Mana was so dense that a white mist formed around her. She also radiated the aura of a God.
"Amazing! As expected of the person who single-handedly helped Heaven's Blade rank among Dragonheart Island's top ten! She has already reached this realm at such a young age! This old man is truly envious! Sword Demon inwardly exclaimed as he looked at Myrtle.
The outside world had always thought that Myrtle had only reached the Domain Realm and had advanced considerably in the Domain Realm.
Now, however, it would seem that Myrtle had reached an even higher realm. She had only reached this realm in her old age.
Just as the two sides were about to clash, a commotion broke out in the corridor outside the hall. Everyone couldn't help but turn toward the source of the commotion.
"Is Thirteen Thrones here?" Prison Tiger grew slightly excited.
However, when a figure entered the altar hall, Heaven's Blade's members were stunned.
"Cleansing Flame?"
