Chapter 1381: Coming Back To Kill

“Should we leave?” Cloudy Leaf asked.

Although he was quite high ranking, he was second to Wendelian.

“No, we haven’t done enough. There’s no way we’ll satisfy the higher ups,” Wendelian said. She certainly knew that Grey Valley was in danger. Ruling Sword and their allies had probably already arranged a large number of players. Although the Gale Legion players were individually quite strong, if they ran into them and had a large-scale fight, there was no guarantee that they would escape with their lives.

“Reporting that we came in here and meddled in this isn’t good either,” Cloudy Leaf countered, succinctly expressing his opinion.

This group of players wasn’t as interested in fighting Ruling Sword. After all, they had all come out so quickly because there was potentially an important player to hunt down. While Lu Li was one of the most important players, unfortunately, he wasn’t an easy target.

“Oh…” Wendelian didn’t get to continue her sentence as she was attacked.

This person had actually attacked her while everyone was watching.

Could it be Lu Li? Did he actually think he was so strong that he could come back to attack her? Wendelian was furious and thought Lu Li was a just too arrogant. He just wanted to abuse the newcomers. Did he really think that he could kill her with so many people around her?

“Water Fairy!”

“It’s Water Fairy!”

“Lu Li, Lu Li’s back!”

This was the problem if the commander was. .h.i.t by crowd control – there would be no one to lead the group. Everyone just had to rely on their instincts to react. Only the players with a lot of battle experience such as Cloudy Leaf knew to save Wendelian first.

However, did Wendelian even need saving?

She was star player Priest who was at full HP. How many Thieves would you need to one shot her?

When Cloudy Leaf saw who was attacking Wendelian, he realized that something was wrong. This wasn’t Lu Li – it was Water Fairy. Was she here because Lu Li was being bullied? Did she make an impulse decision to do this?

When he heard someone shout Lu Li’s name, Cloudy Leaf felt even more strongly that something was wrong.

This wasn’t just Lu Li’s revenge, nor was it of Water Fairy’s own accord – they were both acting together.

“T bro!” Wendelian cried out, finally having a chance to speak.

Torrent was indeed in danger, and he was about to die.

In the moment that Lu Li left, Torrent didn’t have much HP remaining. He was filled with remorse from the failure of his fight, and didn’t think to sit down to regenerate. Wendelian didn’t expect Lu Li to come back either as they had so many players here. Perhaps she was subconsciously confident that even if Lu Li came back and wanted to kill someone on her watch, it would be impossible.

However, no one expected two people to return.

It was this d.a.m.n couple!

The place of this incident seemed random, and no one had antic.i.p.ated it. Water Fairy couldn’t have come here so quickly; she must have ridden a Mount to get here.

It was actually because of their pocket watches.

Lu Li’s mentor, Garona, had given them two pocket watches. The male one was called Ragnarok and the female one was called Lifelong Dawn. They both had two effects. The first was a 50% increase in fatigue regeneration as long as the two pocket watches were within 5 yards of each other. The second special effect was to summon the other player with the pocket watch. You could use the second effect three times a day.

Lu Li didn’t leave after fleeing, but swapped his badge for the watch and prepared to summon Water Fairy over.

The two of them then immediately turned. Water Fairy was to deal with the Priest Healer while Lu Li went looking for other targets. He had only intended to scare the group, to show that Ruling Sword was paying attention to them, but he didn’t expect to find Torrent still at low HP.

As such, he didn’t wait around and pounced on him. To put it bluntly, Lu Li was like a dog running after the scent of a bone.

Was it possible for Lu Li to have killed Torrent on his own? He probably wouldn’t have been able to one-shot him, so Water Fairy also cast Gale Steps to rush over to Torrent after casting a few skills on Wendelian.

“This d.a.m.ned couple!” Torrent made a last angry cry before losing the remainder of HP. He couldn’t handle the burst of two Thieves, especially if they used had skills like Gale Steps, Evasion and Shadow Cloak. None of the other players could save him either.

Of course, the most important thing was that he only had a little bit of HP.

After killing one player, they didn’t wait around. Lu Li and Water Fairy immediately escaped. If the two top Thieves wanted to leave, it was relatively simple. After all, they had already made the preparations.

When the female tyc.o.o.n got away, she had used two smoke bombs that each cost more than 100 gold coins.

However, she didn’t lose any money, as she had picked up the equipment that Torrent dropped. The items that these players would drop were at least Dark Gold, if not Epics. They were definitely worth more than two smoke bombs. In fact, the item that Torrent dropped was an Epic and a part of a T1 set.

Caw caw caw…

It seemed like a group of crows had just flown over the Wendelian and the others. What had just happened barely registered with them.

The situation wasn’t brought about because they were not strong enough.

The first issue was that they were fighting a tough enemy. Grey Valley was now Ruling Sword’s world, and to construct the Stronghold, almost 100,000 players were in this map. Not to mention, there were also players from Drizzle Court and Peerless City. Wendelian’s objective was to apply some pressure on Ruling Sword, but she also wanted to make sure that her team could go home safely. The psychological pressure must have been immense.

The second issue was that Torrent, who had arrived first, encountered some problems.

He had performed so poorly against Lu Li. If this was a compet.i.tion, Wendelian would have ruthlessly scolded him. He had the colour-s.h.i.+fting leopard and three teammates, but he lost to a single Thief. To make matters worse, even his confidence had been hurt by Lu Li.

As a compet.i.tor, failure was one thing, but you had to keep trying next time.

The fact that Torrent had been beaten like that perhaps might have subconsciously contributed to her not healing him. Maybe she just didn’t want to see him.

The last issue was that Lu Li coming back was just completely unexpected.

This wasn’t something that anyone else would be capable of doing, but it was even more surprising because Water Fairy was close enough to where Lu Li and Torrent was fighting. Water Fairy couldn’t have been there, otherwise, Torrent would have already been killed.

They still didn’t know how Water Fairy had come to join Lu Li.
