With Qin Ruo's trio penetrating the rear of the Demon Faction Champions, they successfully stopped seventeen opponents who were covering their retreat and hastened their deaths, with only fourteen Tier 5 Champions making it down to the ground from Moonrise City's northern ramparts—the last few, pursued by Qin Ruo, even jumped off the manmade stairs halfway down, falling raggedly.
In less than half a minute, Violet Orchid and Slayer's Heart led their forces and wiped out even the last Demon Faction players, before rallying with the Tier 5 parties of the Three Great Leagues!
Over fifty-six Tier 5 Champions congregated above the city walls. With the quartet of Qin Ruo, Black Rock, Apocalypse, and Daisywave and their Angelic Wings, the party of northern Angel Faction Champions formed a considerable size... The Demon Faction players outside the city did not even dare to approach that group from above the War Behemoths summoned by the Twelve Zodiacs League: the more than thirty Tier 5 Demon Faction Champions had been killed!
The fourteen left simply could not threaten the northern ramparts.
***
"Everyone, gather round."
At Violet Orchid's summon, every Tier 5 on the northern ramparts gathered.
With a glance at everyone present, Violet Orchid spared no time for nonsense and went straight to the main topic: the dire situation on the east side of the city.
"I've just asked after east. Reinforcements are urgently needed, and since we've ended things here, a few clans will be guarding this place—there probably wouldn't be any issues. Everyone, return to the city and support the east!"
"Hmm. All of us are aware, and the Demon Faction would likely be counting on us doing that... What if we leave and they make a sudden push here? There are two entry points here, and you're just twenty people. Let's not risk it—what about this, some Netherclaw Spirit players will stay here in case anything happens."
The speaker was Raziel, Tier 5 Electromancer, leader of Holy Clan.
And behind him was the Ron couple whose eyes were filled with fear and jealousy...
The couple had reached Tier 5 as well. Following Netherclaw's arrangement, they were there to support the city's north, but never imagined that they would encounter Qin Ruo here.
For his part, Qin Ruo did not react well to the Ron couple either...
After the incident in Killer Bee Valley, Qin Ruo had kept thinking about finding a chance to teach that wretched couple a fine lesson, but had not been able to spare the time.
It was lucky for them that now was not the time, and he could only wait for the next opportunity...
Qin Ruo simply filtered off their two hateful gazes, turning his eyes to Violet Orchid and Raziel as they debated away.
Being the leader of a Clan affiliated to the Netherclaw Spirit Clan, Raziel naturally outranked Violet Orchid, a normal member of Scarlet Bauhinia!
Still, Violet Orchid was Homme Fatale's sister, the top Radiant Priest of H&G and had been entrusted by Black God with the command of the northern ramparts' defense, in turn keeping Raziel chagrined from pulling rank.
Raziel was rather insistent on his own opinion: if they divert their forces away from here, the Demon Faction could return to the north and Moonrise City would be in a dire situation of being attacked on two prongs. When that happens, the last twenty minutes would leave things unsalvageable.
That was why he protested against Violet Orchid's risky plan, insisting to leave around ten men while the twenty-five players from the Hall of Heroes and Scarlet Bauhinia went to support the east!
As for Violet Orchid, she was considering the perils on the eastern ramparts, with almost thirty Tier 5 Hall of Heroes Champions being killed and forcefully boarded and the Veteran Champions Death Jesus and Leon overseeing that sector.
If only twenty or more were to move there for support, they would simply not be of help or able to fill the gap of lost Champions. Even if the fallen Tier 5 Champions were to choose to revive inside the city, it would take some time for them to replenish the Dark Gold and Legendary items they dropped.
That was why Violet Orchid suggested that the thirty-five champions and Qin Ruo's band should move to support the eastern ramparts, and perhaps stand a chance to turn the tables...
Even so, both had their logic, and the Tier 5 Champions supported them both.
Just as everyone debated away, Qin Ruo frowned, and was suddenly inspired after a glance at Daisywave, who was quietly patrolling the movements outside the city.
"I have an idea."
Being the one who took down Savior and assisting in killing another dozen of Tier 5 Demon Faction Champions, Qin Ruo's words instantly drew everyone's stare—even the members of Netherspirt Claw.
"Sister Violet speaks sense, " Qin Ruo said, fixing his gaze upon Raziel."Merely sending twenty wouldn't serve any purpose at all, and Moonrise City wouldn't escape the fate of being taken. If we are to help, the thirty-five players here and us few have to be there."
"That being said, Raziel's worries are reasonable too... What about this? Since Daisywave has Angelic Wings, she could move swiftly and tail the Demon Faction forces retreating from the ramparts. As long as we are aware of their destination, we could learn about their next attack objective before they reach it, and we wouldn't have to worry about an ambush."
"I imagine that in the last twenty minutes, the Demon Faction wouldn't be thinking about risking diverting forces to have us chase them around in circles."
Raziel was neither ignorant nor shallow. At the moment, all of them were working for a mutual goal—protect Moonrise City and the Angel Faction's honor.
Even if Qin Ruo's suggestion was not perfect, it did work to dispel his worries. Furthermore, with Violet Orchid's support was better than having a Veteran Champion stationed there.
"Alright! We'll do as you suggest!" Raziel declared, coming to a decision."Everyone, return to the city!"
In a split second, dozens streak of light rose from above the city walls, while Daisywave rose high above, chasing after the Tier 5 opponents who have retreated from the ramparts!
***
Just as Qin Ruo and the others hurried to the eastern walls, the battle was worsening—half of the Hall of Heroes Tier 5 Champions were dead.
More than seventy Demon Faction Tier 5 champions had charged atop the city walls and split into two forces to push from both left and right, with a huge wave of players climbing up the eastern ramparts!
And that was not all. There were troops surging into the city below the War Behemoths. Thus, their dense ranks sealed the city gates while their own men kept moving in incessantly, battling the Angel Faction Players inside the Moonrise City completely jovially!
With their forces dashing into the city from three directions, the Hall of Heroes Tier 5 Champions could not put up any effective defense, and kept getting pushed behind on every turn. In fact, they were losing ground quicker than the eastern side...
Watching as the situation deteriorated to beyond recovery, the outcome of a duel was decided in the dark night sky above the east side of the city!
***
In the air, Majestic Hero and White Eyes had opted against using Tier 5 AoE assault magic.
After the brief exchange and watching as the eastern side collapsed, Majestic Hero was utterly anxious...
'My apologies!'
With those words uttered in mind, Majestic Hero promptly unleashed his self-invented Tier 5 AoE attack magic!
***
At the start, White Eyes was not too concerned with Majestic Hero charging a spell—it was until the charge lasted longer than three seconds that he finally realized that something was not right!
For most Veteran Champions, Tier 5 single-attack spell did not require three seconds of charging...
That spell could only be... !
"Damn it!"
White Eyes seethed. Even if he could not understand why Majestic Hero would not use a scroll but cast a spell directly, he prudently drew out a Tier 5 Magic Scroll.
But just as the spell was shot out...
Two powerful flashes of Thunder Elemental Spheres combined in Majestic Hero's palm!
Blackhole!
All the dimensions seemed to quiver!
As he exclaimed in shock and bewilderment, White Eyes's Elemental Perception and the Demonic Wings behind his back simultaneously vanished! Even so, what truly left him astonished was the Tier 5 Attack Spell unleashed from his scroll was instantly consumed by the unusual vortex that appeared before Majestic Hero, the profound Earth Elemental Magic consumed in its entirety!
After that, Majestic Hero's body twitched bizarrely, vanishing on the spot!
When he appeared once more, he was already beside White Eyes.
If Qin Ruo had been watching... he would certainly notice that Majestic Hero's Fusion Blitz resembled the one that Chameleon and his pet Thunder Hawk used!
Warp! (Blink Strike)
Magic Penetration!
***
Majestic Hero's attack was so swift that in the single second White Eyes had just lost his perception and wings with his body plummeting, a hammer-shaped thunderbolt penetrated the barrier outside White Eyes body, just as his defensive shield crumbled in a flash.
Then, a white flare darted past!
In the instant that the white, fat figure of a Pigasus appeared in the instant White Eyes was struck, a white circle of ripple seeped into his body!
White Eyes almost vomited blood right then!
Before he could clear his head from the shock of Majestic Hero's bullshit skill devouring his Tier 5 Attack Magic, his shield was swiftly broken and himself knocked unconscious.
What kind of principle was that? Was there such a huge gap between himself and Majestic Hero?!
'Damn it! This is bad... '
Such was White Eye's last thought.
In the very next second, his corpse was lifted high above by the ordinary Thunder Whip that Majestic Hero conjured, and flung as if a missile at Moonrise City—ever vigilant and careful in battle, Majestic Hero would certainly not allow White Eyes to fall on the city walls or outside the city. It would be a huge bother to have his opponent resurrected on the stop, and he would not get rid of White Eyes so easily this time around.
Black Hole was a rare Tier 5 AoE magical skill that he had researched and developed recently. Shown only to only a few individuals previously, its unique devouring attribute was its greatest threat to all Elementalists—in fact, White Eyes had lost the moment Majestic Hero was allowed to cast that spell.
Having never seen that technique, what else could he think after seeing a Tier 5 AoE spell being nullified?
With White Eyes slain, Majestic Hero quickly downed a large magical potion before flapping his Angelic Wings, darting toward the ramparts...
But when he was halfway down, he suddenly received an unexpected voice transmission.
"Hero! Get rid of Death Jesus first!"
"Qin Ruo?"
Majestic Hero's eyes twinkled.
