The King's Avatar Chapter 259 – Misty Rain

Chapter 259 – Misty Rain

12/24, 2:03 AM.

Tyrannical Ambition’s overall guild leader, as well as the other famous top-tier experts that he had brought over, gave their final blessings after struggling in the tenth server’s pioneering battle.

Jiang You’s group had co to set the record in order to save Tyrannical Ambition from their predicant. At the sa ti, they had unexpectedly also resolved the Lord Grim problem. They took down Line Canyon’s dungeon record without a hitch. Their mission had been quite successful.

Even after running the dungeon three tis, they still weren’t able to beat the record that they had set at the end of the first run. Once they had finished, their mission ended. The reason that they were staying for a while longer was to celebrate with the tenth server’s players and also to see whether Lord Grim would keep his promise to not touch their record.

At this mont, over half an hour had passed since they had exited the dungeon and there hadn’t been any announcents. They had all relaxed. Lord Grim hadn’t beaten their record and hadn’t set a ridiculous record beforehand; nothing bad had happened.

“Okay, the tenth server will now be in your hands.” Jiang You said to the tenth server’s guild leader, Cold Night, and its core mbers, such as Endless Night. The four elites that had co over were all old core mbers of Tyrannical Ambition, so the guild mbers that had co over to pioneer in the tenth server knew them. The four were talking with mbers one on one, encouraging them.

Just as the friendly ceremony was proceeding, an announcent suddenly popped up. Tyrannical Ambition’s hadn’t noticed it in the beginning. It was only after the announcent had passed by did they realize what the announcent was about......

Not good!!!

Practically everyone realized this simultaneously. In that instant, Tyrannical Ambition’s players all made the sa movent: they moved their mice in order to check their ssages and read the ssage that had just been received.

But in reality, they didn’t need to.

While Tyrannical Ambition’s players had been distracted and missed it, the other tenth server players had all seen the ssage clearly.

The players who had seen it already then began to discuss it amongst themselves. The discussion had caused Tyrannical Ambition’s players to miss the announcent ssage. But right now, the discussions in the world chat were all talking about what they didn’t want to see.

A new record......

They saw these three words. Tyrannical Ambition’s players hadn’t seen wrong. In that instant, a dungeon record announcent had been made.

Their excited and joyous guild suddenly turned deathly.

Correct, deathly. Even though everyone was sitting in front of their computers looking at their screens, they had all felt as if their souls were leaving them.

Doubt and disbelief....... floated in the air.

“Who was it?” Jiang You suddenly asked. His words were full of bitterness and pain.

Who was it? Wasn’t that an easy thing to check? If a record had co out, then it would show up on the leaderboards. However, Jiang You seed to have forgotten this and didn’t go and check. Why? Did he not want to see a particular na on there?

Jiang You didn’t look, but others did.

“Misty Castle......” Cold Night said, carrying a hint of disbelief. However, it was true. He had checked the na three tis. It really did say Misty Castle.

“Misty Castle?” Jiang You repeated the na in even greater disbelief.

Misty Castle. It was true that the guild was backed by a Club, but Tyrannical Ambition rarely saw that guild as an opponent.

Misty Castle along with Team Misty Rain were strange entities.

They were actually quite good, but their strength was always neglected by others, which seed to be because of their temperant. Their temperant was greatly influenced by their ace player.

Team Misty Rain’s ace player was a girl.

She was a girl who loved to watch all sorts of random Twilight-type TV shows and loved to talk about random gossips.

Of the twenty teams in the Alliance, Team Misty Rain was the only one whose ace player was a girl.

Of course, Chu Yunxiu’s skill level wasn’t low at all. As the team’s ace player, she was good enough to be considered one of the Alliance’s top-tier Gods. But compared to male players, Chu Yunxiu’s performance never felt tough enough. In tense situations, her win rate was very low and in those matches she lost, many saw that it appeared as if she had modestly declined to fight it out.

In those matches, it appeared as if she should have been able to continue for a bit longer, but for so strange reason, she always silently lost.

No one knew if this was due to her temperant or personality. But as a result, a lot of people on the outside said things like “She’s just a female player, after all.” in order to explain it.

ESports was different than traditional sports, where players directly competed with their bodies and physical strength. As a result, it seed as if males and females were on equal grounds in eSports. But because girls generally weren’t interested in these types of intense fighting gas, there were a lot fewer female players in eSports than males and their skill levels were usually worse than male players by quite a bit.

Chu Yunxiu was a rarely seen female God-level player. But because of this reason, a lot of people thought that she lacked competitiveness.

Ace players often decided the team’s style and their temperant. Thus, Team Misty Rain was seen as a team that lacked competitiveness.

Their achievents reflected this as well.

After Chu Yunxiu joined the team, Team Misty Rain had entered the playoffs three years in a row. But no matter how amazing they perford in the regular season, they always lost miserably in the first round of the playoffs. Team Misty Rain didn’t seem to fit in with the playoffs’ serious and fierce competition.

In their first playoffs, maybe it was because they weren’t experienced enough. But the second and third ti? They couldn’t always use a lack of experience as an explanation for everything.

Thus, Team Misty Rain and its players were labeled as such.

Since the team was relatively ignored, their in-ga guild was ignored as well. Misty Castle wasn’t small by any ans and they had many experts, but they never looked outstanding when competing against others. Perhaps it was because they weren’t performing well or perhaps it was because they didn’t even try, but their rare good performance usually lasted only for a brief period or sotis didn’t even appear.

Soft! Too soft!

That was what many players saw Misty Castle as, which suited the team as well as their ace player, Chu Yunxiu.

But since Chu Yunxiu was a girl, everyone understood if she was a bit softer than others.

The guild was mostly filled with males, yet they were also soft, making a lot of people look down on them.

Tyrannical Ambition, on the other hand, was different. From their ace player to their team to their guild, they possessed tyrannical strength and a strong character. Yet they had unexpectedly been stomped on by the soft Misty Castle. This type of dramatic developnt was too hard to accept.

“Misty Castle? IMPOSSIBLE!!” Jiang You’s voice suddenly rose. He personally checked the leaderboards. The first place na really was Misty Castle and their record: 25:21:78.

Tyrannical Ambition had stepped on the entire server’s records by 2 minutes and now, Misty Castle had stepped on theirs by 2 minutes.

Jiang You’s complexion changed. He, who had personally researched the low-level dungeon, had no idea how Misty Castle had beaten their record by a whole 2 minutes.

“

“Are these players actually from Misty Castle?” Jiang You tried hard, but didn’t see Lord Grim as any of the five players’ nas. Perhaps they had invited a few experts to sub in? Or maybe so recently retired pro-players ca to ss around in the new server?

“They’re all from Misty Castle.” Cold Night confird after looking at the leaderboards.

“Their characters might be, but the people playing on them might not be. How shaless.” Jiang You said.

“Cough!” Cold Night coughed in embarrassnt.

Jiang You heard the reminder and then imdiately felt even more embarrassed.

He had played in the tenth server with this Elentalist, Crowd Lover, for too long. Jiang You had even forgotten that he wasn’t the original user of the character. He was also one of those “shaless” players.

Luckily, besides Cold Night, no one had noticed Jiang You’s error.

Everyone was still dumbstruck by Misty Castle’s record and began looking at the world chat.

They all wanted to cry, but no tears ca out.

Right now, ignorant noobs were saying: Tyrannical Ambition is so bad! The record they set didn’t even need to be beaten by Lord Grim. Misty Castle? What guild was that?

A lot of naive players didn’t know of Misty Castle’s background. They took the guild to be a small guild that showed Tyrannical Ambition’s inability. And a lot of noobs believed it all, discussing just how weak Tyrannical Ambition was.

Weak?

Even when Tyrannical Ambition had their team wiped out, no one ever dared to call them “weak”.

The experts were furious. Everyone in the guild was furious.

Not waiting for their guild leader’s orders, Tyrannical Ambition’s players had already begun arguing with these players on the world chat.

Jiang You’s group watched in pain...... Their guild’s players had clearly co off worse. Those noobs’ words had clearly pricked their skins.

There was nothing they could say! They had no grounds for an argunt!

Their first kill and record had all been done with Lord Grim’s help. And their hard-earned record had been crushed “without the help of Lord Grim by so random guild”.

Misty Castle was just so random guild...... Tyrannical Ambition really wanted to cry. How were they going to argue against that?
