MMORPG: The Elementalist

Chapter 437 - Late Remedy

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Demon Faction had successfully lay siege to Moonrise City for an hour.

The Honor Points of every Angel Faction player were hence erased, while every player group was disbanded… For two months, Moonrise City would once again be under the System's protection.

It was a piece of news that left most players wringing their hands!

Naturally, the upheaval hence planted an idea in many individually powerful lone adventurers, especially those Tier 5 Champions…

Building clans!

With everyone's Honor Points reduced to zero, they were now essentially on the same starting line alongside champions like Scarlet Bauhinia, Netherclaw, and Majestic Hero. Was it not a great opportunity?

Even if they could not compete against those three Supreme Champions, was it not an easy task to forge a super huge clan with ten thousand members using their rank as Tier 5 Champions?

By applying for a Party and swiftly completing Battle Points mission, any Party's name would quickly recruit a batch of Tier 4 Elites… After that, earning a thousand Honor Points would become a simpler matter for a two hundred-men Elite Party with Tier 5 champions!

At once, the doorway to the Adventurers' Guild was trampled over by players…

Amongst the crowd that was trying to seize Party resources included the recently famous Dinosaucerer!

Despite having made a name for himself on the northern ramparts, and having been discreetly offered olive branches by the Clan Leaders and Party Leaders of many great Clans in the hopes that he could assume the role of Party Leader, he had rejected every offer.

Dinosaucerer's ambition never once changed.

After that battle in the Devil's Swamp, he had made up his mind to bring along his comrades in the company and form a Party, forging a great Clan that surpassed the Order of the Eight Gods!

Even if this day was the worst day in the Angel Faction's history, Dinosaucerer had no intent on giving up on that opportunity—he could not form a Party but he still had the mission for, which did not vanish with the fall of Moonrise City.

After his initial shock, Dinosaucerer had at once summoned Chameleon Spider from its Sealed Mana Core, fused and then follow the members of the Three Great Clans as they dashed outside the city.

Thus, many players saw a bizarre sight!

A Summoner with a hard gray shell on his back who was chasing the heels of a Deathfiend Spider, bringing along an entire swarm of small Explosive Venomspiders as they all darted out of the city gates in front of many Angel Faction Bowmaster and Warrior class.

Brother Da, Little Apple, and Little Arrow—having been following behind were left puzzled.

"Damned Dino. Is he running off to die?"

"Damn it, everyone would soon be gone if we don't run any faster… wait, they're already gone. You guys keep running, I'm going off! We must build the best Party this time!"

Dinosaucerer watched as the first band of players returned to the city, shrieked once and sped off…

As those few persons behind him watched silently as he commanded a few swarms of Explosive Spiders stealthily devour several pitiful Demon Faction players, all of them were left speechless.

Mad summoner!

Then, they frowned in the distance…

'How is Qin Ruo and Black Rock now?'

In the skies outside the eastern zone of Moonrise City, three figures flapped their rings and gathered around after moving around in a huge circle.

"Give up, Qin Ruo."

"Curses. We're too conspicuous—all of them are gone before we could catch up. Tiger Cub would probably have returned to town by now…."

There was strong irritation on Black Rock and Apocalypse's faces when they returned to Qin Ruo.

The trio's target was Tiger Cub, with Apocalypse being the must furious amongst them. Being the leader of the Samsara Clan and having it collapse so easily no thanks to a Bandit playing hide-and-seek and leaving all his efforts wasted, how could he not be fuming?!

Furthermore, both Black Rock and Qin Ruo were old rivals of Tiger Cub. They had cut off Tiger Cub's claw back in the Graveyard of the Gods, while this time, Tiger Cub embarrassed the entire Angel Faction and right beneath their noses… How could they ever live with that?

Qin Ruo, however, was more bitter over Majestic Hero's sad departure…

For the first time, Qin Ruo found sadness and helplessness in that unhappy sigh on Majestic Hero's face. Even if he had not spent much time alongside him, he shared the same temperament with Majestic Hero and Black God, with their attentive instruction at the Buried City inspiring and teaching him many things. Unwittingly, he had grown to consider them fine mentors and great friends…

Qin Ruo's could clearly feel Majestic Hero's dejection and defiance, as well as guilt for the Angel Faction. It was precisely because he understood Majestic Hero's feelings that Qin Ruo was exceedingly hateful of Tiger Cub!

As soon as his body could move again, he had lunged outside the city at once, diving toward where Tiger Cub landed…

In that very moment, there was a single thought in Qin Ruo's mind: take down Tiger Cub!

But where his Angelic Wings passed, every Demon Faction player had turned into white light, laughing as they teleported away…

In fact, there was not a single enemy in sight as they searched back and forth over hundreds of meters, all of them scared off by the trio!

Having heard Apocalypse, Qin Ruo took a glance at the rather eye-catching Angelic Wings on his back and suddenly got an idea. Turning towards the other two, he said, "I'm not letting him off this easy. I'm off!"

"Huh?"

Black Rock stared blankly for a while. Then, he and Apocalypse watched as Qin Ruo withdrew his Angelic Wings in front of them once more, his body swiftly becoming transparent…

"Where are you going?"

"You're chasing after him? count me in!"

"I'm entering the Demon Faction's territory," Qin Ruo replied, "to teach the Twelve Zodiacs a lesson. Black Rock, help me contact Judge, Subjugator and the others."

"In the absence of Netherspirit Claw and Scarlet Bauhinia, everyone inside the Aricus Ruins should have entered the Mythical Battlefield to collect Honor Points, leaving the Gorefiend Spider Demon unchecked. If you two have the time, assemble the necessary parts—the progress down the Buried City must not be delayed, or the Demon Faction would get ahead of us as well in that respect!"

Black Rock finally remembered that issue at Qin Ruo's very mention.

"I could do that, but are you sure Violet Orchid and Slayer's Heart would enter? And Xiaoxiao, that girlfriend of yours… they are all Scarlet Bauhinia."

"Don't mind that—they'll go there eventually. You must hurry, or we'll have trouble holding our own when the Demon Faction finally enters the Buried City!" Qin Ruo said, having conjured his Aqua Wings but barely maintaining his altitude while he hovered beside the other two.

"Alright! You'll chase after that rascal Tiger Cub, I'll handle the Aricus Ruins." Black Rock said, before turning to Apocalypse. "What about you?"

"I can't give chase even with these wings." Apocalypse smiled bitterly. "And how long would it take for me to walk to the Mythical Battlefield? I think I'm good… by the way, do you have the position of that Aricus Ruins you mentioned?"

Qin Ruo and Black Rock glanced at each other.

"Don't you want to build a Clan?" The former asked curiously.

"I'm a sad excuse for a Clan Leader, and I'm through with it since the Clan's disbanded. It spares me from having others asking me for items every other day."

"…."

Apocalypse laughed in pain again at the sight of the pair's puzzled expression.

"They're a bunch of students. They love asking me for equipment's once they come online. Kids all who know nothing, and there's nothing I could say to change that. I was getting annoyed anyway, and I'd think about it if there's the opportunity in the future…"

"Furthermore, what if the Clan built from so much hardship collapse if Moonrise City falls again? For Pete's sake, Tiger Cub's skill is too OP!"

As Apocalypse voiced his genuine thoughts, Qin Ruo nodded in prompt understanding.

"Actually, today was everyone's fault."

"Even if Tiger Cub's skill is insane, it's not like we could not find his position at all. The main problem was that there's no time left: everyone's thrown into disarray with four minutes left! If we just had more space and more time, that wouldn't have happened—we could simply have got every Aquamancer across the city to unequip their items and cast Frostburst. That way, no one would be hurt, and the Battle Log feedback could basically pinpoint Tiger Cub's general location."

"Damn it, you're right! Why didn't you mention that earlier?!"

Both Apocalypse and Black Rock glared at Qin Ruo!

"There were just four minutes left. The thought never even crossed my mind."

Qin Ruo smiled painfully. 'Four minutes? it would have taken a lot of time just to settle the unrest at the time and contact every Elementalist in the city.'

The other two fell silent at once, and it was after some time that Qin Ruo told Apocalypse, "You just have to deal with things accordingly. Whether you're going to rebuild a Clan or heading to the Aricus Ruins, our Party is full in the first place. Still, I've already left a Soul Imprint down in the Buried City, and you could take my place if you go."

Apocalypse looked up and smiled; he seemed to have decided not to build a Clan.

"Alright! Thanks, then! I've actually wanted to enter the Buried City earlier but was kept preoccupied by the Leagues, us small Clans can't oppose them after all!"

"…"

Qin Ruo and Black Rock shrugged helplessly.

'Would it even work to enter such a place without a full and formidable party? Even if Apocalypse himself was a Tier 5 Champion, his subordinates were… heh. There's probably no good helpers.'

"If that's the case—Apocalypse, enter Aricus with Black Rock and the others. Watch the Gorefiend Spider Demon and familiarize yourself with the Aricus Ruins itself.

"Alright!"

"We're going!"

The trio split off into three directions over the night sky.

***

Meanwhile, Qin Ruo did not hurry to get to the Demon Faction.

With the personal assignment of the Ring of Honor completed and an unlimited storage attribute activated, there would be no issue to place the bottles he had hidden inside the ring.

As for supplies…

How could he not prepare more potion as he headed out for a long battle against the Demon Faction while waiting for Tiger Cub to show his face? He could not keep relying on Mana Drain to recover his magical power after all.

***

Returning to the city and placing everything usable from his Bank Vault on his character, Qin Ruo suddenly received a mission invite from Dinosaucerer.

Player Dinosaucerer has requested your company for 'the Party's Battle Points Mission'! Please confirm that you agree for the Redemption Points you accrued by slaying Tier 4 players from the opposing faction to be obtained by Dinosaucerer.
