“Little Qin, we've endured for five long days. Now that we have fulfilled our promise and brought in the reinforcement, I think maybe it's time for you to loosen your tight lips a little?” After they found Qin Ruo, Majestic Hero and the other League Commanders laughed in embarra.s.sment and made a sincere inquiry.

“Yeah,” Netherclaw joined in with a grin on his face. “You have put me in an extremely awkward position, you know? I have no answer for my members other than saying we are going to help out a friend when they asked me, 'Why do you need us at the Underworld?'. I bet they are now all looking down on me in disgust.”

“Hahaha…” Qin Ruo and the others replied to Netherclaw's “protest” with heartfelt laughter.

“Please forgive me for the secrecy. I have no other option. To be honest, I am not entirely sure about the plan either. Even most of my members were not informed beforehand. Only a few cadres from Fallen Angels League are briefed.”

Qin Ruo's explanation baffled the other four League Commanders.

Black G.o.d chipped in, “I do believe you.” He paused for a while. “There are a few underlings of mine who are close acquaintance with some of your members. When I asked them to gather information through them, we got nothing in return. Even your own guys are puzzled by the invitation, claiming that Fallen Angels was doing well and could have completed the quest with no ha.s.sle. Qin Ruo, don't you think it's too much to hide the plan from your own League?”

“Tsk, how interesting! I am really curious now. Quick, spit it out. What's this all about? Why is the Winter Demon making such a fuss and requesting help from all four Great Leagues at once?”

All four of them turned to Qin Ruo with excitement and waited expectantly.

“Alright.” Qin Ruo nodded and decided to tell the truth since they were now at the critical stage of the plan.

He proceeded to tell them everything he knew about the Divine Specter.

He observed the altered expression of the four commanders, which turned from shock to solemn, then from solemn to deep thought. Apparently, the four Commanders understood the enormous difficulty lying ahead of this quest.

“Don't worry. The reason I called you here is not to help us take down Divine Specter. I only need your a.s.sistance to hold the station while we are away! We will take care of the Divine Specter on our own.” He then guided them through the details of the plan.

The four Commanders looked at each other, then Majestic Hero was the first to break the silence. “I am not going to say another word. There is only one request from me, count me in. I want to fight the Divine Specter as well. I will ask my members to stay back and help defend the station. Don't try to convince me that I am not fit to go to the other battlefield. Besides, you don't plan to keep the true strength of Divine Specter confidential from me right?” Majestic Hero final sentence forced Qin Ruo to swallow back the words that almost came out of his mouth.

He raised both of his hands and laughed. “Alright. If you insist, I will not stop you. But let me get this straight, I am not confident that we will come out of this alive. So don't blame me if you drop Equipment.”

“Come on. Are we that calculative? One or two Equipment is nothing worth mentioning.” This time, it was Scarlet Bauhinia who spoke up. He shrugged after both Qin Ruo and Majestic Hero turned to him. “Don't even think about ditching me. I am also planning to build a city in the Underworld. I am on a fool's errand if I don't get to see the true strength of Divine Specter with my own eyes.”

Netherclaw and Black G.o.d raised their brows when they heard Scarlet Bauhinia's argument. They had to admit that Scarlet Bauhinia's words resonated their true feelings. Both of them also stated that they wanted to be part of the mission.

“Now, now, I don't think you two should tag along,” Scarlet Bauhinia joked. “We are talking about a Specter here while both of you are Shadowmancer. Mind I remind you that your Dark Spells are ineffective against a Specter.”

Qin Ruo wouldn't have noticed if Scarlet Bauhinia did not mention it. Both Netherclaw and Black G.o.d, despite having veteran's level of Magic Attack, would be of little use against the powerful Underworld creature.

“d.a.m.n. We still can operate as support, can't we? In case a Lich comes to spoil the party, we can count on Netherclaw to stall it!” Black G.o.d's straightforward statement was hard to refute but it did upset Netherclaw. 'Why only me? What's your responsibility then? Sit and watch?'

“Okay, okay. I think everyone is here.” Qin Ruo looked at the jammed s.p.a.ce below and instructed the four Commanders, “Each of you would take over one side. Please deploy your troop immediately. Also, ask your members to pay extra attention to the Demon Faction players inside the camp.”

“Demon Faction?”

The four of them turned toward the camp simultaneously but were unable to see through the Barrier.

“That's right. I already have Black Rock to keep an eye on them. Just be extra cautious,” Qin Ruo explained.

They nodded and accepted the task. “No problem.” The four Winged Champions then split and headed in different directions.

“Divine Specter?”

“Gos.h.!.+ I have doubted it. I knew that Project Pioneer was not going to be this easy.”

“So the hardest part comes at the end stage.”

As the defensive duty of the city under construction were being gradually handed over to the four Great Leagues, Qin Ruo timely supplemented the missing details about the Divine Specter and the reason he needed external help to his members through the League channel.

After fighting in the Underworld for five straight days, almost every member of Fallen Angels had upped by two to three levels. Including Qin Ruo who had reached Level 56, everyone was yearning for their new life in the Underworld that would come to fruition in two more days.

But all of a sudden, they were being informed that there is one final obstacle to be surmounted.

Despite being a little daunting, they had confidence in their Commander's plan and the exhortation to annihilate the Divine Specter together soon drowned the entire channel.

“So be it!”

“There is nothing to be afraid of!”

“Boss, we are ready!”

Outside of Edgar Camp, numerous players were seen exchanging positions actively.

The atmosphere was unusually euphoric when the entire Fallen Angels defensive troop was being replaced by elites from the other four Leagues. This was because the reinforcement could clearly feel the enthusiasm shown by Fallen Angels—A result of the satisfying quicker speed of farming and leveling in the Underworld.

The 30,000 Tier 5 Players from Fallen Angels got into their positions speedily after they pa.s.sed over the defensive duty. Led by Qin Ruo, Majestic Hero, Judge, and several other Veteran Champions, the team lined up uniformly in a conical formation.

Judge, in a body of Dark Gold equipment and covered by blood red radiance, was at the front most of the attacking formation.

Once the defense line opened up to make way, Judge lifted his war blade and charged toward the large horde of Specters resolutely.

Soon, Physical Attacks and Magical Spells mingled in the air and rushed toward Judge like a tsunami wave. The sudden and explosive bombardments from the Undead Horde overwhelmed the few League Commanders following closely behind. They were especially unsettled when all these skills and spells. .h.i.t Judge simultaneously.

However, an unbelievable scene was unveiled in front of them.

The blood red Judge howled and steadied himself against the merciless a.s.saults with his solid heavy armors. The more than hundreds of attacks did not appear to bother him at all.

“…” The League Commanders ran out of words to describe what they had witnessed.

'Too OP!'

The attacks that fell on him encompa.s.sed various ranged physical skills mixed with powerful spells cast by Skeleton Dragon, Vampire, and h.e.l.lhound.

Even though Judge possessed extremely high defensive stat being a Steel Berserker, he was not supposed to be immune to both physical and magical attacks.

'How did he manage that?'

After refilling his lungs with fresh air, Judge stomped his feet and abruptly sped up. He was like a red hot iron bathed in holy radiance. The Berserker continued to charge into the Undead Horde determinedly.

He showed no hesitation because his back was covered by five League Commanders and tens of veteran or semi-veteran Champions. Moreover, the support and constant healing provided by two best Radiant Priests of Fallen Angels—Violet Orchid and Violetmoon Devilite—had transformed him into a fearless terminator.

Judge's breakthrough had led to a series of chain reaction.

First, Specters, Skeleton Dragon, and Vampire retreated from the front line following Judge's unstoppable march. They continued to attack Judge from far and most probably won't stop until the despicable human adventurer was smashed into pieces.

This was when three bright radiance shot from Qin Ruo's front.

But Thunder Spell was still a tad quicker than Qin Ruo's spell.

Homme Fatale and Majestic Hero dashed into the horde almost simultaneously after Judge. They attacked relentlessly and their spells reached the targets before them.

Boom boom boom!

Tens of lightning pillars plummeted from the sky and fell directly on top of the horde. From far, the purple flashes looked like a giant laser show.

This spell was very similar to Frostburst. Strong white lights surged continuously from within the horde after the attack and fused into a large white light curtain.

At least five hundred Specters were evaporated instantaneously by the coordinated attack between the top two top-tier Electromancers.

“Brilliant!”

After the strong light had settled down, a large area around the two Commanders was found vacated. A thundering ovation was heard coming from the back applauding their heroic performances.

“Ha.”

Black G.o.d, Scarlet Bauhinia, and Netherclaw looked at one another and nodded. In front of Fallen Angels and Hall of Hero, they were unwilling to back down and wished to display their supremacy too.

Schwaff!

While the troops at their back began to clash with the horde coming from both flanks, the three winged Commanders flapped their wings and overtook Homme Fatale and Majestic Hero. They sprang toward Judge, who was now getting deeper into the Undead Horde.

Three Shadowmancers…

Although their attacking spells would lose part of the damages being absorbed by the Specters, they were veteran Champions after all. The weakened spells were still highly effective and deadly against common high-tier monsters.

In less than two seconds after the three Champions dove into the horde, an immense magical fluctuation spread promptly from within, wave after wave.

Numerous black dragons, screaming shrilly like ghosts, appeared out of nowhere at the center of the disturbance.

A few seconds later, a flash of black light “brightened” up the area and engulfed a plentiful of Specters.

The Skeleton Dragons and Vampires in the air then started to plunge like birds with broken wings. Some cried and some groaned painfully after being pierced through by the serpentine-like Dark Element twitching in the air.

The spell lasted for three whole seconds.

Another large part of the horde was cleansed by the three top-tier Shadowmancers after that three-second ma.s.sacre.

Qin Ruo's recycled Fatal Frost Crystal once again ran out of a target. After he saw Majestic Hero and Homme Fatale made another forward thrust, he shook his head and smiled helplessly.

'I guess these violent Elementalists will not wait patiently for the entire army to advance properly in shape.”

“Let's hope they will not overdo things.”
