Dragonheart Island, Ring of Islands:
Over a thousand ships were scattered across the various islands around Dragonheart Island, and War Blood's emblem was emblazoned on the ships' sails. War Blood's fleet inspected every ship that traveled to and from Dragonheart Island. In addition, Dragonheart Island was enveloped by a sealing magic array, which prevented communication between the outside world and the outside world. Teleportation Spells were also prohibited.
It was as if Dragonheart Island had become War Blood's territory.
"Damn it! War Blood is too ruthless! We're clearly not Heaven's Blade's members, yet they want us to pay three Magic Crystals and 20 Ancient Silver to leave Dragonheart Island! " A Level 114, Tier 2 Berserker driving a ship bellowed as he glared at the War Blood Speedboat.
"Keep your voice down! They haven't gone far yet!" A Level 120, Tier 3 Elementalist youth on the speedboat hurriedly covered the Berserker's mouth and whispered, "War Blood is currently the ruler of Dragonheart Island. Even the various superpowers have no choice but to obey War Blood's whims. We're leaving Dragonheart Island to sell our items. If War Blood targets us, we'll be screwed."
"I wonder which Heaven's Blade adventurer team provoked War Blood. Even now, War Blood is still searching for Heaven's Blade's members. They're capturing every Heaven's Blade member they come across and handing them over to NPCs to imprison. They're not letting anyone set foot on Dragonheart Island at all." The Level 117, Tier 2 Divine Oracle beside War Blood curiously watched the War Blood Speedboat, which was now over 300 yards away from Dragonheart Island.
"What else is there, then? War Blood is obviously after Heaven's Blade's Lands around the World Tower, "the Tier 2 Divine Oracle replied. The Tier 2 Berserker replied nonchalantly. "More and more treasures have been discovered in the World Tower, especially on the fourth underground floor. Only, the foreign energy on the fourth floor is too frightening, and the cost of recovery is too high. Only by resting in the special area around the World Tower can we recover faster."
"Heaven's Blade has bought a total of five plots of Land, including the only large plot of Land around the World Tower. It's a medium-sized plot of Land. How could War Blood, which is trying to expand, let go of such a fat piece of meat?"
"Indeed. The Lands around the World Tower are very popular right now. They have even become a symbol for Dragonheart Island's various powers to develop the fourth underground floor. Now that War Blood has annihilated Heaven's Blade, it naturally won't let go of these Lands. War Blood only captured Heaven's Blade's members to force Heaven's Blade's commander to submit," Shi Feng said, nodding. "However, I'm afraid that it won't be easy to force Heaven's Blade to submit. After all, as long as we have those five plots of Land, Heaven's Blade can rebuild at any time."
When everyone talked about the land around the World Tower, they all yearned for it.
Before Dragonheart Island's players had set foot on the fourth underground floor, they hadn't paid much attention to the Lands around the World Tower.
After all, those Lands were extremely expensive, and they weren't located in Dragonheart City's central business district. Naturally, no one was willing to purchase them.
Now, however, all of God's Domain's superpowers were vying for these Lands.
Meanwhile, there were only 34 Lands around the World Tower. At the very least, there weren't enough Lands for Dragonheart Island's local powers, let alone foreign superpowers.
Yet, not only had Heaven's Blade claimed five Lands, but it had also claimed the best Lands. Why wouldn't the various superpowers and War Blood go crazy over this?
After all, the fourth underground floor contained Legacy Lands that could help players reach Tier 4!
However, while this speedboat's party was chatting, a series of explosions came from a short distance away. The sound echoed for several thousand yards, and the nearby players couldn't help but look toward the source of the explosions.
Less than 30 cloaked players had actually summoned two Flying Mounts. The two Tier 3 peak experts leading these cloaked players worked together to kill 20 of War Blood's Tier 3 experts. They then jumped on their respective Flying Mounts and led a dozen or so players to charge out of War Blood's encirclement.
"It's Heaven's Blade's remnants!"
"Set up the array! Don't let them escape! "
War Blood's members immediately sprang into action when they saw this scene.
Immediately, the several dozen War Blood speedboats around the two Flying Mounts promptly set up sealing barriers. It was obvious that War Blood's members had set up this trap to deal with Heaven's Blade's members.
In the next moment, the two Flying Mounts, which hadn't even risen 200 yards into the air, were trapped in a magic barrier that covered an area of over a thousand yards. From the runes and magic arrays on the translucent barrier, it was obvious that this was an Advanced Barrier Magic Array.
Even Tier 4 Mythic monsters would need a lot of time to break this barrier from the inside, not to mention Tier 3 players.
"Damn it!" Frustration flashed in the eyes of the female Guardian Knight leading the team. She then turned to the man leading the team and asked, "Vice Commander Shadow, what should we do? We'll need at least two or three minutes to break this barrier. That's more than enough time for War Blood's reinforcements to arrive. "
Divine Shadow, who stood atop the Floating Serpent, also frowned. It was obvious that he hadn't expected War Blood to make such a move.
"We have no choice but to fight. I'll activate my Berserk Skill in a moment. I should be able to break this barrier in less than a minute. Once I'm done, I'll keep them busy while you think of a way to escape," Divine Shadow said. He then turned to the female Guardian Knight, Cleansing Flame, and said, "Remember, even if you're the only one who can leave this place, you must do it at all costs! You are Heaven's Blade's only hope! "
"Understood!" Cleansing Flame responded with a solemn expression.
Now that Heaven's Blade had disbanded and War Blood was wantonly hunting down Heaven's Blade's members on Dragonheart Island, their only hope of survival was to seek help from the outside world. After all, Cleansing Flame still had the Land Lease in her hands. If she paid a certain price, she could hire the help of a Super Guild in the outside world.
However, before Cleansing Flame could control the Floating Serpent to leave, a powerful voice echoed in the minds of Heaven's Blade's members.
"You want to escape? Not so fast!
"Don't even think about leaving today!"
Before Divine Shadow and Cleansing Flame could react, a figure appeared before them. This man wore dark-red robes, and his eyes glowed crimson. He also wielded a crimson wooden staff, and he radiated an indescribably evil aura.
Even though this evil man hovered in midair, Divine Shadow and the others felt an immense pressure weighing down on them. They felt as if a mountain was pressing down on them, and the ambient Mana also weighed down on them.
"Autumn Plant?!" Divine Shadow's eyes flashed with astonishment when he saw this man. "How is this possible?! Didn't you lead a team to the fourth underground floor?! "
That's right, this evil man was none other than Autumn Plant, one of War Blood's Vice Commanders. He was also a Tier 4 Great Wizard, a frightening existence capable of destroying a small portion of an island with a single attack.
In the past, Autumn Plant had been the reason why the Super Guild Thirteen Thrones had suffered such a huge loss. In the end, the Super Guild had no choice but to retreat.
After all, Autumn Plant had only used a single Tier 4 destruction Spell to kill tens of thousands of Thirteen Thrones' experts and destroy a small portion of an island. More than 20 Tier 3 peak experts and three Domain Realm apex experts had died during the battle. After this battle, Autumn Plant had cemented his position as Dragonheart Island's number one expert.
Meanwhile, Heaven's Blade had learned that Autumn Plant had gone to the fourth underground floor and wouldn't be able to return in a short time. Hence, they had tried to use this opportunity to escape Dragonheart Island.
But now …
"Hahaha! If I hadn't gone to the fourth underground floor, would you bastards have been willing to come out?" Autumn Plant sneered as he looked down at Divine Shadow and the others.
"What a scheme!" Divine Shadow clenched his fists. He never thought that he would fall for Autumn Plant's trick. His gaze turned cold as he glared at Autumn Plant. "We've always been opponents on Dragonheart Island. This time, I'd like to see just how strong you have become after reaching Tier 4!"
After saying so, Divine Shadow activated his Berserk Skill, his aura skyrocketing to the level of a Mythic monster.
Based on his aura alone, Divine Shadow was no weaker than Autumn Plant's.
"Fool!"
Autumn Plant's expression remained unchanged when he saw Divine Shadow's aura skyrocket. Instead, he waved his hand lightly.
Before God Shadow could react, a dozen blood-red chains appeared out of nowhere. They tried to bind God Shadow. Even though God Shadow reacted quickly and used Stealth to block the chains, the chains still managed to bind God Shadow. God Shadow was unable to break free from the chains. In fact, he was getting weaker and weaker.
"How is this possible?!" Cleansing Flame was stupefied by this scene.
Divine Shadow was a Domain Realm expert from Heaven's Blade. After activating his Berserk Skill, even if he wasn't a match for a Tier 4 player, logically, he should've been able to hold his own for a while.
Yet, Divine Shadow had been captured instantly. This had shattered their understanding of Tier 4 existences.
"Hmph! You people have no idea how big the gap between Tier 4 and Tier 3 existences is, not to mention a Tier 4 Great Wizard like me. Do you really think you can turn the tables on me?" Autumn Plant said disdainfully as he glanced at Cleansing Flame. "Let alone a single Domain Realm expert, even ten Domain Realm experts wouldn't last more than two or three moves against me after activating their Berserk Skills."
"Damn it! Damn it! Everyone, commit suicide! We can't let him catch us! "Divine Shadow snapped out of his daze and turned to Cleansing Flame and the others.
"Do you think it's that easy to commit suicide?!" Autumn Plant said as he waved his staff.
In the next moment, crimson chains appeared and bound Cleansing Flame and the others, preventing them from moving. The gap between the two sides was like that between a giant and an ant.
"How can a Tier 4 player be so strong?!"
At this moment, Divine Shadow, Cleansing Flame, and the others stared at Autumn Plant in disbelief.
They had all watched the battle videos of the Shifeng during the reserve seat competition. Although Tier 4 existences were strong, they weren't invincible. Yet, Autumn Plant had actually captured them and rendered them powerless. The strength Autumn Plant displayed was far superior to the Shifeng's.
While Divine Shadow, Cleansing Flame, and the others were still dazed by the massive gap between them and Shi Feng, War Blood's members arrived and apprehended everyone present.
"Alright, hand them over to those NPCs," Autumn Plant said, chuckling. Autumn Plant glanced at Divine Shadow and the others before chuckling. "We've caught two big fish this time. I refuse to believe that Zwei won't back down!"
"It's over! It's over! It's all over now! " Divine Shadow despaired as he looked at the captured Heaven's Blade members. "I'm the one who got you all into this!"
It was precisely because he had received the wrong information that he had initiated this operation. Now, however, he had gotten everyone into trouble.
Once captured by NPCs, even if players forcefully logged out of the game, it would be pointless. Unless they managed to escape, they would be held captive for at least 15 days.
Fifteen days was more than enough time for everyone to leave God's Domain's frontlines.
However, just as Divine Shadow was feeling despair and self-blame, a Hippogryph flew over slowly from afar. There were four people sitting on the Hippogryph, but the Heaven's Blade imprint on the Hippogryph was very eye-catching.
"Another Heaven's Blade remnant? Since they can ride a Horned Eagle, they must be another big fish, "Autumn Plant said, a hint of joy appearing on his face when he saw the Horned Eagle.
This scene confused Divine Shadow and the others. They couldn't understand why Heaven's Blade's Horned Eagle would fly over from the outside world. However, when they recalled Autumn Plant's means, they hurriedly shouted for the players on the Horned Eagle to flee.
Although Tier 4 existences were powerful, their flight speed couldn't compare to Flying Mounts. If they fled at full speed, they had a high chance of escaping.
"Escape? Do you think that's possible? "
Autumn Plant immediately used Instantaneous Movement to teleport over to the Horned Eagle, just like how he had dealt with Divine Shadow and the others previously.
Even if a Tier 4 Great Wizard used the Tier 3 Instantaneous Movement Skill, they could teleport up to 3,000 yards in an instant. Tier 3 Great Mages simply couldn't compare.
