Chapter 656: A Sudden Change in the Camp
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Halt!”
“He’s an ally!”
Qin Ruo’s frantic yell was heard by everyone in the nick of ti.
If not, Hom Fatale and Fateless would have attacked Yaegar, who had suddenly appeared next to the Grand Reaper.
After all, not many actually knew that Yaegar was observing the battlefield in Stealth Mode. Therefore, it was understandable that anyone would react aggressively after seeing an unknown Bandit suddenly appearing next to them out of thin air.
Besides...
If it wasn’t for that system ssage, even Qin Ruo himself might have attacked the poor NPC.
This was a crucial mont in the battle—so, there was no way Qin Ruo would allow any diating variables to ruin this advantage in battle that he had spent so much effort creating.
As everyone stopped attacking, a flare of red light pierced the Grand Reaper’s body!
***
Monts before its death, the Grand Reaper’s eyes widened as it stared at the human who had stabbed its chest with a sharp dagger.
Wasn’t this one of the targets that it had been pursuing for ages? The human who had been using “Elental Camouflage” and “Stealth” to escape from it nurous tis?
It had found him at long last...
Yet, the Grand Reaper didn’t expect that this Demigod Bandit would appear before it right before its death.
Staring at the bloody dagger that was pulled out of its body, the Grand Reaper’s youthful face was suddenly webbed with loads and loads of wrinkles—in an instant, the Divine Specter appeared to have aged trendously.
Widening its cracked lips, the Grand Reaper bellowed in a long excruciating wail...
“!!”
As it was wailing painfully, suddenly a powerful gravitational force was felt on its face. The Grand Reaper, having its face, limbs, and organs pulled out by the dark gravitational force, exploded into millions of pieces instantly.
Yaegar looked on coldly as the Grand Reaper disappeared before his eyes.
***
The Divine Miniboss ‘Grand Reaper’ slain. Acquired 1,938,473 Experience Points!
Acquired 10 Reputation Points!
Acquired 5000 Honor Points!
Qin Ruo had so suspicion that this was all a scripted event in the ga the mont he heard Edgar’s voice earlier. The ga probably wanted to allow the three Demigod NPCs to kill the Grand Reaper with their own hands—to give these NPCs a closure after being hunted by the Divine Specter for decades.
That was why Qin Ruo wasn’t shocked when he saw Yaegar’s sudden appearance.
In fact, he didn’t even pay much attention to the two million Experience Points, 10 Reputation Points and 5000 Honor Points at all.
All he had in mind at the ti was to dash downward and activate his Liquid Form, extending his liquidized body toward the loot that were dropping down from the sky across the ten ter-radius in the area.
Qin Ruo didn’t mind allowing Yaegar to deliver the killing blow. He was more worried about the loot and if the system would distribute them unfavourably toward his League. So, he quickly swept the loot up and tossed them into his Ring of Honor.
On the battlefield, the players’ jaws dropped to the ground as they witnessed this bizarre phenonon—their League Leader had suddenly morphed into a huge liquid being and extended his two huge watery hands to catch all the falling loot from the sky.
Every loot that touched the liquid hands all vanished into thin air. Then, the “hands” swept the ground too, making the loot that fell on the ground disappear altogether.
This all took only three seconds...
Everything that the Grand Reaper had dropped, including the gold coins, had all vanished.
Silence fell across the battlefield as everyone looked at the loot disappearing before their eyes...
***
Yaegar didn’t seem bothered by Qin Ruo grabbing all the loot. Giving Qin Ruo a nod, Yaegar activated his Stealth Mode again and disappeared right away, leaving just as quick as how he had arrived.
Yaegar’s sudden departure had attracted everyone’s attention yet again, saving Qin Ruo from being judged by his friends in the battlefield. Quickly, Qin Ruo gave an order to retreat to Camp Edgar.
The Grand Reaper was dead. This ant that there were no more significant obstacles for them to continue building their city. Project Pioneer could go on without much hiccups.
***
As the Fallen Angels had shown signs of retreat, the other four League Leaders too took note of that and flew to Qin Ruo’s side.
After receiving a heartfelt congratulation by the League Leaders, Black God approached Qin Ruo quietly.
“Erm... Little Qin... my man! So we’re done? Aren’t we going to kill more of these specters?”
“Yeah, we’ve got no more business here. There’s no need to stay. Let’s head back to the camp and we’ll resu the specter grinding over there.”
Qin Ruo was overjoyed by his victory and was being pestered by Fateless and Subjugator about the loot. Thus, he didn’t see Black God’s anxious face.
“Resu specter grinding at the camp?”
All four League Leaders beca agitated after hearing this.
From the start of the battle, more and more mbers in their respective Leagues had been reporting that they were having so much fun grinding for so much Experience Points from the endless waves of Undead Horde. They exclaid that they hadn’t been able to enjoy grinding for Experience Points this much—there was no need to lure the enemies toward them at all, and all they needed to do was just take turns stepping forward and start slaughtering oncoming enemies. Experience Points were rolling in like water running in a river...
In less than an hour, they had all earned over ten million Experience Points!
After hearing this in the League chats, other mbers from the Leagues who had not entered the Underworld were now screaming in the chat, demanding to be allowed to participate in this “Experience Points buffet”.
Many mbers too started to urge their League Leaders to comnce their own Project Pioneer.
Well, the only problem was...”comncing Project Pioneer” was the last thing the four League Leaders had in mind at the mont...
Twenty billion gold coins! That wasn’t easy to acquire.
Other than that, they had witnessed too many shocking things in this battle. The sheer amount of Bosses and Liches appearing outside of the defense lines and, of course, the Divine Specter. To handle all these, they would need a lot of money and manpower. Other than that, the amount of Sealed Mana Cores and Magic Scrolls that the Fallen Angels had accumulated just to use them all in one go in this battle... that was quite a shocker to the four League Leaders.
They were pondering just how much ti they would need to collect the twenty billion gold coins and they realized that there were also a lot of resources or assets that they needed to sell. This all would take a lot of effort!
And of course, they needed to train more Champions for their Leagues.
After witnessing what they saw today, it was undeniable that the Fallen Angels possessed far more Champions than the other four Leagues.
They couldn’t be asking all the Fallen Angels to co over and help when they comnced their own Project Pioneer in the future. Besides, they also couldn’t be asking the Fallen Angels to aid them whenever a monthly siege occur after their cities were built.
What would the Fallen Angels think of them if they were to rely on them like that?
***
Regardless, it would take quite so ti before they could run their own Project Pioneer. So, the four League Leaders would like to have their mbers to at least get to experience the environnt in the Underworld and grind so Experience Points in the Fallen Angels’ defense lines.
The Fallen Angels’ artisans would need another two days to finish the construction anyway. So, having their mbers to raise one or two levels in that two days shouldn’t be a difficult thing to do.
Besides, the Fallen Angels had already cut through the enemy ranks and ford a new defense line. They could grind for Experience Points in that new area.
***
After hearing Black God’s stuttering words, Qin Ruo let out a laugh.
“Oh, don’t worry. There’s plenty of specters to kill back at the camp. After we return to Camp Edgar, just call in as many brethren from your Leagues. As long as the defense lines don’t get overcrowded, we’re welcoming you all with open arms!”
“Really?!”
All four League Leaders were overjoyed after hearing this.
“Of course. You’ve helped us out so much this ti. There’s no way we will refuse to share these Experience Points with you guys.” Qin Ruo continued replying with a smile, “After we return, I’ll have the Summoners to send in your n. And we’ll push the defense lines further away from the camp. If we’ve got more n, we’ll push the defense lines further!”
“Haha! Thanks, man! Just what we needed!”
“Every single Tier 5 player out there is eager to co in. Hehe, just you wait. Your defense lines will be pushed as far as you want it to be. After they’re here, you’ll have enough n to defend eight cities!”
After replying to Qin Ruo, Black God quickly sent out the good news to his League.
***
Thus, thousands and thousands of n started marching back to Camp Edgar!
***
Yet, no one was expecting another huge incident that was happening in the camp.
Every single Demon Faction player had disappeared. Other than that, the blue fla, the barrier that was shielding Camp Edgar was gone, leaving the camp exposed in front of everyone.
As Qin Ruo and his army flew toward the construction site, they could see the camp with their bare eyes—the camp had lost its invisibility, aning its barrier was now gone. Seeing this, they were as shocked as when they saw the death of the Grand Reaper.
“Huh?”
Hovering in the air, Qin Ruo looked on anxiously. Then, he sent a private ssage to the person who was supervising the camp...
“Black Rock, what on earth’s going on?”
“What’s going on? You tell !”
Black Rock flew out from the camp with a raggedy look.
“Holy moly, these NPCs are so unreasonable cunts. They had suddenly deactivated the barrier! And without telling us too! In just seconds, the entire camp was not a safe zone no more. I was almost killed by those Demon Faction cunts.”
“What?”
Qin Ruo and his gang looked at one another in confusion.
Camp Edgar was not a safe zone anymore?
How could this be?
“How the heck would I know?”
Black Rock glared at everyone.
“I was keeping an eye at those darn Demon Faction bastards just now. Then all of a sudden, the barrier was gone and we were all engaged in battle.”
“...”
“Fortunately, the Demon Faction players were as confused as we were when they attacked. Besides, I was able to use Petrification on them and hold them off for a while. Or else, I would have kicked the bucket. Damn, it would be so humiliating dying in their hands like that.”
Black Rock’s words didn’t sound angry—it seed that he was praising himself more than cursing at the Demon Faction players.
However, everyone could imagine just how dangerous it was in the camp earlier.
On the other hand, the Demon Faction players were most likely killed or drove off from the camp by now.
“So, back so soon? What? The Divine Specter’s dead?”
Black Rock threw a doubtful look at Qin Ruo as a grin ford on his face.
“Well... ahem, what loot do we have? Any Demigod Terramancer gear?”
