Bluebird closed his system window with a surprised expression, which prompted Cheris, or rather Yardpirun, to ask him a question.
What happened, Bluebird? How is the situation outside?
Oh, Swan just sent a ssage saying that Sila has already defeated Lost Ghost. He is now heading west, where Shuran is. Swan cant contact you directly, so she asked if you have any orders for us.
White Swan decided to send a ssage to Bluebird since she knew that he was the only one with enough spare ti to check his inbox.
For the record, Yardpirun was still wearing her Cheris disguise. She wondered aloud. Sila defeated Lost Ghost in ten minutes when Lost Ghost was using Gluttonys ability? Really?
Yes, Swan also told that there is not a single wound on Silas body, and since he killed Lost Ghost while the cards ability was active, the card fell into his hands.
Umm... I knew he was strong, but I didnt expect him to be this strong. When he fought against Montra in the Town of Beginnings, his strength was still below the Warlords. If he really can win against Lost Ghost this fast, his ability should be on par with the Two Monarchs already.
W-Wah? Even with this, he is still below Montra?
Yardpirun nodded her head. Unfortunately, he is. If we are talking about the present Montra, Sila will undoubtedly have a chance to win. However, in one week, Montras Dragon Ritual will be completed and he will at least double in strength. Moreover, it seems Montra and the Two Monarchs are currently secluding themselves to undergo so secret training.
Boss ans... Montra and the Two Monarchs will beco even stronger? How is that possible? There should be a limit to how strong they can beco, Bluebird said in disbelief.
You are underestimating Montra far too much, Bluebird. Think about it. How can a person who successfully collected eight gems and five of the Deadly Sins while commanding the largest guild be weak? Montra is strong, I warn you. He is insanely strong, a cut above the rest, in fact.
I always thought that Montra, Kawin, and Revin were equally strong. Am I wrong?
Not quite. Those two are Montras close friends. I think Montra didnt want himself to be compared with his friends so he hid his real strength. However, the situation has changed. Montra will do anything, both directly and indirectly, to strengthen himself and his allies while weakening his enemies.
In any case, Sila is also getting stronger. At an astonishing rate at that. Maybe he can catch up to Montra soon.
You are right in that regard. But, dont forget that Montra is different from Sila. He has an army while Sila is alone. He doesnt even have to personally take action to win against Sila. Even I can co up with a thod to make Sila lose in a war.
What do you an, Boss? What thod?
Yardpirun sighed. Bluebird... the war is not about individual strength. No matter how strong an individual becos, it doesnt an a single person can win the war by himself, especially when that person is Sila...
That is why Im asking you what do you an, Boss. If we know what trick Montra will use beforehand, maybe Sila can prevent sothing from happening.
Sila alone cant fix it, Bluebird. If Im Montra, I will exploit Silas weakness that he isnt the type to abandon his friends. I will separate him from his allies, then torture his friends one by one, making Sila travel across Monster Soul without resting, greatly weakening him. Finally, when he is weak enough, I will still not fight him alone but gang up on him, along with Revin and Kawin. If its three against one, no matter how extraordinary strong Sila becos, he will lose, undoubtedly.
Bluebird was silent as he was thinking about the solution. He understood what Boss ant. The problem wasnt Sila, but his comrades, who were behind him in strength.
He thought for a brief mont before coming up with a solution.
In that case, all of us should stay close to each other. When the war event starts, we will march together as one.
That will only make it easier for Montra. If we are in the sa place, he will just use his larger army to conquer the cities surrounding us and completely encircle us. Once that is done, Montra can pressure us from every direction, chipping away our defenses. Sila wont rest and instead constantly fight to protect his friends. Sooner or later, he will lose.
But, the number of our forces and Montras are equal, arent they? Bluebird still disagreed.
No, you are wrong. Im absolutely sure that the mysterious forces appearing lately belong to Montra. Currently, he is superior to us in all aspects; be it the quality and quantity of forces, wealth, weapons, hidden forces, or even the number of powerhouses. This is not a war anymore but a one-sided slaughter.
Is there really no way for us to win?
There is a way... but it will be extrely difficult, said Yardpirun.
Bluebirds eyes filled with hope. What is the way, Boss? As long as its possible, no matter how difficult it is, I think we can make it by working together.
The thod Im about to say is far, far easier said than done. First, since our side is too far behind in nurical advantage, wed be better off forgetting that and focusing on improving our quality instead. We have to co up with a way for everyone on our side to beco stronger than the players on Montras side, who will mostly be Marquis Rank. We have to compensate for having less fighters with skills and proficiency.
Next, wealth. We will need to acquire an enormous amount of money by selling an item that is superior to the Cloudy Baby Dragon Ring. In this regard, Montra is indeed terrifying. By selling the rings, not only can he rake in profits and elevate the level of his troops, but the rings will also be harmful to his opponents. If we simply sell good items, Montra can just buy them. Although we get the money, Montra will get good items in return. The product that well sell will have to et these three criteria: good price, good quality, and useless to our enemies. The hardest part will be the last criteria, which Montra managed to achieve with the Cloudy Baby Dragon Ring.
For weapons, this part looks the most promising since Sila conquered Lost Grea City. You should go and ask him to negotiate a discount with the Android King. It will be even better if we can hoard a large number of powerful weapons ourselves without selling them to others.
As for hidden forces, I an a secret group that Montra doesn't expect us to have. It will be a secret troop that moves independently in order to help up gain the upper hand in the war event. The important point about this troop should be secrecy. No one, especially Montra, should know that this force belongs to our side until the decisive mont cos.
Lastly, the number of powerhouses... this will be quite hard. Compared to our side, Montra has more skilled players under his wings, and he is recruiting more. Two weeks from now, in Alkedia City, he will be holding a tournant to recruit more players into the upper positions of his guild. We should hinder the tournant if we can afford to, like what he is doing with us in this very assembling party. anwhile, we better recruit more skilled players. It can be difficult, but I suggest so of us go to Belacia City to invite the players there to join our side.
Processing what Yardpirun just said, Bluebird totally understood what she ant. What she said made sense; they should just be doing everything to beco superior to Montra. However, practically, it was close to impossible to accomplish all those things she said.
Furthermore, Bluebird was surprised at Yardpiruns last suggestion.
Belacia City? Should we really attempt that? The players in that city are all guildless. They dont care about guilds or reputation, only striving to beco stronger. I wont even be surprised if there are two or three people at the sa level as the Four Emperors living in the city. Everyone knows they hate associating themselves with any guilds or even groups.
Yes, as even the Heavenly Dragon Guilds influence cannot reach there. There are sure to be many crouching tigers and hidden dragons. However, its up to our efforts as to whether we can convince them to join us.
Well, Boss, I will keep all of your advice in mind and pass them to Sila and the others. We may co up with a thod to do all those things you said if we put our heads together.
Thats good. Anyway, now... its ti for you to kill , Bluebird, Yardpirun said, startling Bluebird.
What?! ? It will be totally weird if I survive when facing against you, Boss. Rather, you should be the one to kill .
No, this is for the best. If I win, I will have to go out and kill the players on our side.
Bluebird had totally forgotten about this fact. Yardpiruns current identity wasnt his Boss, but Cheris, the Star-Finishing Warlord.
But... no one will believe it. Im not that strong...
Just lie, then. It will be even better. They will think that you are stronger than you look. Montra will have another person to be wary of.
But... if Boss dies, wont Montra suspect you?
Under normal circumstances, it may be so, but not anymore. Lost Ghost also died. I wont be the only one to fail him.
Bluebird couldnt make a decision. He wanted to decline, but his body suddenly refused to move. It seed Yardpirun did sothing to him.
Boss, what are you doing? I cant move...
Yardpirun changed back to her original appearance and calmly approached Bluebird.
Others might see you as incompetent, but I see the real you. You are a sincere person with great ability. You just havent shown it yet. You are great and strong, this is a fact. Only, its a fact that will be proven in the future. I know Ive picked the right man.
She gently grabbed Bluebirds palm and placed it on her heart. The rhythm of her heartbeat was loud but calm, and Bluebird clearly felt it through his hand. Seeing this, he blushed. He had always half-respected and half-feared Yardpirun. However, now, one more emotion was added.
Yardpirun materialized a dagger from her psychic power. Bluebird could tell what she intended to do and tried to resist. However, since Yardpirun was stronger than him by a great margin, he couldnt do anything to prevent what was about to unfold. All he could do was shout at her.
No, Boss! Not this thod...!
Bluebird... Sotis, we have to do things for the greater good instead of for ourselves. Anyway, dying by your hand wont make lose too many levels, dont you agree? Since you are not that strong yet. She tried to liven the mood by throwing a joke.
How many levels you will lose doesnt matter... I just dont want to harm you, Boss.
This thod is the best, Bluebird. If you feel like atoning, just work hard, okay, Vice-Leader?
Without waiting for Bluebird to respond, Yardpirun used the dagger to stab her defenseless heart through Bluebirds hand.
Yardpirun collapsed on the floor. Bluebird was released from the psychic power that had oppressed his movent and embraced her. However, three seconds was too short. Her body was enveloped by a white light before disappearing.
The system sound that went off when soone leveled up or obtained an item was normally welcod by all players. However, the current Bluebird couldnt hear any of it.
You have achieved a certain condition; Defeating the user of the Lust Card while the Lust ability is active. You have obtained (S) Lust Card - Level 1.
The Lust Card is cursed and therefore forces you to equip it, and it cannot be unequipped. You will earn only 10% of all experience points from now on.
You have achieved a certain condition. Your status and rank have been promoted to Lightning Tailorbird, Level 1 Marquis Rank.
Bluebird looked vacantly at the bleeding wound on his left palm. His blood flowed out from the wound to his elbow before dripping on the floor, though he didnt care.
Why am I so weak...? Just because I run and hide doesnt an I never have to fight. Boss needed to sacrifice herself because of ...
Bluebird slowly moved toward the exit, one step at a ti, like the entire world was waiting for him.
He stepped out of the gate and stood there, but no one had noticed him yet.
I wont let Boss down anymore... If I cant avoid fighting, I will just plunge myself into it...
White Swan was the first to notice Bluebird. She shouted at him.
Bluebird?! Why you...? What about... Cheris?
She wondered what happened to Boss. It was at that mont that most players turned their attention to Bluebird.
She died...
Bluebirds reply was as quiet as a mosquitos buzz. However, everybody heard it clearly. The opposing partys morale dropped sharply. Not only had Sila killed Lost Ghost within a short ti, but even soone they didnt know could manage to kill Cheris in a one-on-one fight.
The panic was like a plague, spreading around quickly.
White Swan was shocked to hear that Boss had died. She was about to curse at Bluebird but noticed his abnormal state of mind, so she decided not to ask him about what happened yet.
anwhile, the opposing party began to search for information regarding Bluebird. How did a player of this caliber exist without them knowing?
Bluebird gnashed his teeth. You... all of you will have to pay for it!! he shouted, and his body released blue vapor with the shape of a naked, long-haired woman.
Sebastian frowned. Asmodeus... How can she be there? Did Mister Bluebird use the card...? No, looking closely, thats only her Psychic Body. It seems she found the gaps in Mister Bluebirds heart and is trying to take control. She is that kind of demon.
Sebastian didnt hesitate to shout at Bluebird. Mister Blue! Please focus on the enemies! Only the enemies!!
Bluebird muttered to himself. The enemies... Boss enemies are my enemies... Every single one from the Heavenly Dragon Guild has to die!!
If what they saw wasnt a hallucination or an illusion, then they didnt know what to make of it. What was unfolding before their eyes was the vapor with the shape of a woman embracing Bluebirds neck from behind, like a woman in love whispering the words of affection near his ear, for him to hear them alone.
Give your power to ... Your enemies are my enemies. Release more, and I will take revenge on your behalf. Entrust your skills to , and I will use them for your sake. The skill that you are still scared to use, I will use it in your place. If its , I will not miss the timing even by a millisecond.
Bluebird spread his arms and thousands of tailorbird flew out from his body, covering the sky. Everybody looked at the tailorbirds while feeling dumbfounded. They had never seen soone controlling them before.
Each of the birds spewed sothing similar to plasma before turning into feathers, dropping from the sky. The small globs of plasma started to rge together, forming one large piece, while the sky-blue feathers slowly drifted downward.
What are you waiting for?! Attack the spellcaster!! Soone shouted. Then, the people who had been attacking Sebastian changed their target to Bluebird. Arrows and long-ranged magic spells were flying toward him with no sign of stopping.
Dont be a hindrance when lovers are cuddling together~
The blue woman said as she smirked. She changed her shape back into vapor surrounding Bluebird. When the attacks ca into contact with the blue vapor, they ca to an abrupt stop and lost their montum, the arrows dropping to the ground while the magic spells vanishing.
Bluebirds eyes were shining with a blue glow. He seed dazed as if he had already lost consciousness. The rain of feathers finally touched the ground. Now, only the giant and dazzling plasma remained in the sky like it was a blue sun hanging above Zhongsuyuan City.
The blue plasma shrunk and descended down from the sky. The pressure it exerted was so great that everyone felt everything would instantly be wiped out as soon as it touched the ground. Even Sebastian frowned but couldnt think of a way to prevent it from happening.
It was at that mont when Bluebird jumped at the blue energy ball amidst everyones confusion. That transcendent magic spell was cast by himself, ford by himself, then jumped at by himself. No one could understand what Bluebird was thinking. Was he trying to commit suicide?
In the instant when Bluebirds body was very close to touching the lightning energy, monts away from what surely would be disintegration, the blue vapor surrounding him changed its shape and beca the woman again. Bluebird and her voice rang out simultaneously, coming out as a single sound which no one could hear, muttering the na of the skill.
Psychic Nest-Returning Bird...
A bright light engulfed the entire Zhongsuyuan City for a brief mont. The ones who didnt manage to close their eyes in ti were blinded temporarily. After, the enemies found that they were still alive and well, and that ant Bluebird had died in the previous flash of light.
Huh. What did that stupid man do? Was he crazy? It seems
The man hadnt finished speaking yet when his head was blown away and his body was struck down by a lightning strike.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of lightning strikes raining down continued, along with the sight of people collapsing down one by one under the rumbling lightning strikes. No one could see what was really happening. All they saw was the glimpse of a sky-blue flash.
Sebastian released a sigh of relief. It seems the attacks are only striking the enemies as I suggested. This ans Mister Bluebird still has so consciousness left.
People started to realize that the lightning strikes were, in fact, Bluebird. Even Varee, Sangdao, and Nednapha couldnt follow his movent speed at all. His current speed was comparable to Zeros, no, it was even beyond that.
White Swan gaped. She didnt know that Bluebird was capable of performing such a feat.
Suddenly, soone with their system window open in front of them shouted.
I found his na! He is Bluebird, a vice-leader of the Blue Pigeon Guild. His title is... Blue-Colored Catastrophe!!
Blue-Colored Catastrophe. Rumor had it that, everyone who got close to this man, be it friend or foe, would inevitably perish and et with a catastrophic end.
There was a rumor that, once upon a ti, one particular player had beco his close acquaintance. However, that person soon beca a freak who would scream every ti he heard the na Blue-Colored Catastrophe. That person even deleted his avatar and quit the ga forever in order to escape from the Blue-Colored Catastrophes clutch.
Prior to this mont, everyone always thought that the rumor was just a baseless story. However, now that they had personally witnessed Bluebirds true might, they couldnt help but all agree on one thing: that the title Blue-Colored Catastrophe was the most suitable title for him.
