Chapter 449: Gone in a Flash

Meanwhile, at the outskirts of Sin City…

News about the Tier 5 Angel Faction veteran player Black G.o.d being pursued for his life was all over the city at the time. Several thousands of Demon Faction players rushed out from the city, like bees whoos.h.i.+ng out from a beehive. The demonic crowd was led by a Warrior, flapping a pair of Demonic Wings on his back, flying close to the ground. He watched, with concern, the three winged silhouettes cutting through the dark sky.

To the Demon Faction, hearing about three winged elites chasing after an elite veteran from the enemy ranks was not all that exciting nor was it brag-worthy news.

However, since two hours ago it had been a roller-coaster for them—the Winter Demon Qin Ruo killing off players from Twelve Zodiacs all the way from Moonrise City to the outskirt of Sin City. After the demise of Tiger Cub, they witnessed him wipe out three more Tier 5 Twelve Zodiacs players right under their noses. Having seen the impossible, all their jaws dropped to the ground.

And it did not end there. After Qin Ruo, Black G.o.d and Netherclaw, two Supreme Champions from the Angel Faction infiltrated the surrounding areas of Sin City and started annihilating people en ma.s.se…

Moonrise City fell. Moonrise City fell! They, players from Angel Faction, should now have low morale. Yet, rather than backing down they pushed on their offense—almost like it was Angel Faction's elite players that were suppressing the Demon Faction, not the other way round. This seeded a lot of vendetta toward the Five Leagues amongst the Demon Faction players.

These veteran players from the enemy line rushed to Sin City and started killing while the Five Leagues were either being indifferent of this or getting their a.s.ses kicked all over the place…

How would the Demon Faction players not feel a sting?

They were the ones who won the war. Yet, they still get bullied right in their turf… This was so unreal!

Therefore, the appearance of the three "winged elite players" gave countless players on the Demon Faction excitement—that they finally had an opportunity to receive the closure they needed. Thus, they all turned up to watch Black G.o.d's downfall.

At the meantime, Black G.o.d felt deep regret…

He thought he could just kill off a few enemy players and then take off. He was not prepared for the retaliation of three vengeful Demon Faction elite players, who were supposed to be deep down under the Buried City.

As for the three winged Demon Faction players, they did not subdue Qin Ruo because they were wary of his bizarre Stealth ability while airborne, and also his agile speed and powerful strikes.

When facing off Qin Ruo in an airborne dog fight, they genuinely were not confident in the prospect of subduing him—not when especially one of them, Black Widow, was a Warrior. It would be unsuitable for them to include her in such battles.

However, if the opponent was Black G.o.d, this made a world of difference…

First of all, his attack patterns were predictable. Although he was a Tier 5 veteran player, his airborne combat style was nothing like Qin Ruo's madman-like strikes, and he would not opt for suicidal attacks like using a Tier 5 AoE a.s.sault Magic Scrolls on his foes.

Aiming at these two weaknesses, three of them slipped into equipment that was not eye-catching and snuck into Black G.o.d's field of detection! Even though Black G.o.d, one was extremely alert, survived their surrounding tactic—he even went as far as flinging out a Tier 5 AoE a.s.sault and Darkmist Magic Scroll each to disrupt their perception, field of vision and attacks, and then used a rare Teleport Scroll to successfully lift himself off to several meters away, it was already too late to escape their pursuit and exit from combat status.

One of them was an Aeromancer—an Elementalist cla.s.s which had the weakest damage amongst the seven elements. However, they could perform attacks in a wide array of patterns and also provide exceptional support for their teammates. To add more, their mobility was also superb, rivaling that of the Warrior cla.s.s.

Black G.o.d got so disheartened that he felt as though his heart fell into an ice cellar as he realized that it was not only fiercely pursued by both the Terramancer Barca and Aeromancer Leon in the air but there was also the Warrior Black Widow coordinating with them on the ground.

What was fortunate for him though was it would seem that Leon and Barca wanted to lead him to areas where more players gathered—probably in an attempt to improve their league's currently tainted reputation. Therefore, they did not force land and demand Black G.o.d to surrender immediately. Otherwise, Black G.o.d would most likely be shot down by Leon before he could send out his SOS signal, and then consequently finished off by Black Widow.

Black G.o.d too understood this, which led to his success in calling out, while fleeing around desperately, to Qin Ruo, whom he knew was also earning Honor Points in the Mythical Battlefield.

Yet, Leon was too fast…

In under a minute, he circled to Black G.o.d's side from afar and kept up to his water levels—forcing him to turn toward the direction where they wanted him to be.

Black G.o.d had no other choice but to somberly comply.

Up to the final hours before he was eventually shot down, Black G.o.d was rather hopeful because he knew how blistering Qin Ruo could move with his wings in the air… If Qin Ruo could reach to him in time, there perhaps still a chance to save his own hide.

"Oh, please hurry…"

Black G.o.d prayed quietly.

Another half a minute pa.s.sed…

It was then Black G.o.d, turning from hopeful to weighed down, saw what was below…

He finally saw the thousands and thousands of Demon Faction players gathering below him. The direction where Leon was forcing him to fly toward was no other than the cursed Sin City, which was still flooding out mountains of Demon Faction players!

"f.u.c.k!"

Black G.o.d was one with irascible temper after all. After realizing what Leon and his teammates were planning for him—a rather humiliating plan at that, he let out a furious roar and swiftly folded his wings then turned to deftly dive toward the newly ranked up Tier 5 Terramancer Barca! He would rather die in combat than to endure the humiliation of being publicly executed by these lowlifes!

After being defeated by some unknown players in Moonrise City, this time Leon, with great caution, locked onto Black G.o.d. He was prepared to sacrifice himself to take him down to reclaim his glory. Thus, he certainly would not allow him any chance to retaliate.

"Windstorm Annihilation!"

Leon immediately took action when he noticed the first sign of Black G.o.d's retribution.

Detecting the magical fluctuation from behind, Black G.o.d immediately released the Magic Scroll that he had been gripping tightly in his hand.

In an instant, black and gray beams of mana gushed out from their hands, violently ramming into each other.

Boom!

It was as though a gigantic scar was torn open in the black night sky… Then, the trio of black, white wings faded from the sky at the same time.

Even though Black G.o.d's retribution was unsuccessful, this had entirely crushed the trio's perfect plan. Better yet, Black G.o.d had s.h.i.+fted, in steaming rage, his Angelic Wings to glide mode before he proceeded with his counterattack.

Thus, in the very moment when he endured that Tier 5 AoE a.s.sault Magic, this little change in his flight mode had helped to buy him some room for breather…

Due to the impact of the AoE attack, Black G.o.d's body quickly glided downward while Leon got tossed away in the air in the opposite direction.

Their distance was now stretched further apart.

Black Widow though, who was tailing them behind on land, realized something was wrong—she saw Black G.o.d was gliding toward the Demon Player crowds… gliding toward her…

In panic, she hurriedly turned away!

Unfortunately, there was not enough time to get away—the crowd behind her was simply too huge.

In a blink of time, three winged players, who were in the air earlier, fell down— two of them were tossed far away into the crowds…

"Get out of the way!"

Black Widow anxiously cried out while a pair of Angelic Wings glided above the crowds. She knew. She knew that this Tier 5 veteran would be too stubborn to just fall to the ground and die.

When she was about to spread her wings and gain alt.i.tude…

A volley of mana was shot off from the hands of Black G.o.d, who had by then glided into the horde of Demon Faction players.

Right after that, destructive waves of mana formed into a black ball in the Demon Faction crowd and then exploded! Everyone was viciously thrust into the air by rays of dazzling ebony light!

This included Black Widow, who had flown above everyone with her Demonic Wings, and also Leon, who was desperately trying to himself from cras.h.i.+ng onto the ground by casting Float.

Black Widow's Demonic Wings were broken when she was tossed into the air; Leon, on the other hand, was able to re-activate Flight to maintain his body in the air after his Float spell was halted by the attack.

Barca who was still in the air falling straight down, appeared to have antic.i.p.ated Black G.o.d's attacks. Just as the moment the black explosion happened and he was approaching the ground, he flung out the Magic Scroll in his hand.

"Whirling Quicksand!"

Which was followed by a roar!

Barca then dove into the quicksand, which was forming on the ground he was crus.h.i.+ng onto.

At the meantime…

A loud frightening blast could be heard coming from where Black G.o.d landed dozens of meters away.

A gigantic black ape suddenly appeared in the middle of the Demonic Faction crowd. His muscular body gave off lasting impression about the explosive power and strength that he possessed.

As it appeared that, before he crashed to the ground, Black G.o.d lobbed a web of dark slime to catch him from the fall. And at the same time, he summoned the Dark Vajra…

"Swamp."

Dark Vajra, a Dark-Terra type Boss, tossed a Swamp spell onto the ground and then stepped into it.

Yet, this did not ease his landing at all—as evident by the huge tremor resulting from him cras.h.i.+ng into the ground.

Dark Vajra used an arm to catch Black G.o.d the moment he landed on the ground while the other arm supported him to negate the huge impact from his fall.

"Go!"

Black G.o.d did not waste much time the seconds he landed on Dark Vajra's palm. He ordered the giant ape to flee while the Tier 5 AoE a.s.sault Magic was still in effect, and the trio of Barca, Black Widow, and Leon were also separated far from one another. It was a great chance to run!

Dark Vajra reacted rather quickly. He s.h.i.+elded Black G.o.d in his palms and started running, ignoring all the Demon Faction players along the way.

Imitating Qin Ruo, Black G.o.d activated Elemental Perception and then started flinging Magic Scrolls, one after another, at the enemy players while sitting firmly on the Dark Vajra's shoulder.

"Like a beast ensnared by a bear trap."

Eyeing this from the sky, Leon let out a disdainful sneer and summoned his Aerobeast. Then, he and his pet immediately gave chase…

Barca and Black Widow too started their pursuit on land after summoning their Tier 5 Pets.

Leon, being the fastest, whizzed toward thirty meters near Black G.o.d.

"Stop!"

After barking out a roar, three golden Windblades started whirling around him. With two whooshes, they darted at Black G.o.d's back…

All seemed lost… but!

"Not too fast!"

Realizing what Leon was doing, Black G.o.d cast out a Magic Scroll from his hand.

"Black Sun Apocalypse!"

Just as Leon thought he had a bulls-eye on cracking open Black G.o.d's Defense s.h.i.+eld, the spell Black Sun Apocalypse interrupted his Flight and tossed him away, which also consequently his recently activated Elemental Perception.

'Curses… this again? Are you s.h.i.+tting me?'

Leon quickly turned his Aerobeast into Aero Wings and stabilized his posture. His brows locked a frown and then resumed his pursuit.

"Die, worm!"

When Leon's fatal blow was about to land on Black G.o.d, suddenly Leon felt a great alarm through his nerves. Without warning, a golden ray appeared into his line of sight! This golden ray as witnessed by everyone on the battlefield, mysteriously showed up out of nowhere in between Black G.o.d and Leon. And it was shooting straight toward Leon's Barrier…
