The party from Demon Faction was heading toward the direction of Galbis' Lair. This was because they saw a player who had activated Angelic Wings and appeared in the sky of the infamous Galbis' Lair. They could not help but find it suspicious there.
Usually, regular parties from the Demon Faction did not have the guts to approach those strong players with wings. However, the party this time had two new Tier 5 players who were brave and tough. They wondered which fearless player had come to the merciless Galbis' Lair to fight with the Tier 4 Ultimate Boss—Cyclops Commander.
Initially, these players did not have the intention to get too close to Galbis' Lair...
Their intention to enter into Moonrise was to grab the opportunity to loot a huge amount of equipment when those players from Angel Faction were concentrating on completing their Honor Points mission on the Mythical Battlefield.
When the Demon Faction party was closer to Galbis' Lair, a few waves of furious roars startled then frightened them...
"This... this is!"
The two Tier 5 Demon Faction players were famous Field Commanders in the Demon Faction. When they heard the roar, they were full of wonder. They looked at each other.
"Don't tell me it's that guy."
"... I've once heard the roar from the Cyclops Commander, this sounds like it."
All players from the party took a deep breath. Obviously, they became afraid when they saw the few black dots from afar.
Disregarding the strong Angel Faction player with wings, the area with the Ultimate Boss Galbis was definitely deadly!
Apparently, these players were always roaming the Mythical Battlefield. Hence, they were familiar with Galbis as well.
"Something is not right..."
An Elementalist with a yellow Mana Core staff from the party spoke up. The Elementalist was also one of the five Tier 5 players in the party. He had a curious look when looking in the distance and talked to the party member next to him.
"Based on Galbis' characteristics, unless the opponent is a solo player, it will not be easily lured out from Galbis' Lair. Could it be..."
The mysterious player with wings had once again astonished the group of players!
The player came to Galbis' Lair alone and was able to fight with Galbis for such a long time. Moreover, it was still unclear who would be the winner yet. This player must be a player with Tier 5 capability.
Who?
Who was it?
Under Galbis' furious roar, these players could not hold back their curiosity and unconsciously headed toward the area swiftly!
On one hand, they were wondering which player from the Angel Faction had this kind of tremendous power to face a Tier 4 Ultimate Boss alone!
On the other, these players felt rather lucky...
If the opponent was really just one player, then the whole situation would be interesting.
They would definitely not allow an enemy from the Angel Faction to kill Galbis. The situation of the entire battle could be changed if they create a little disruption in the battle. Additionally, they could get a chance to pilfer Legendary equipment from that solo player!
Such a miraculous opportunity!
"..."
"The Winter Demon?!"
"Damn it! It is Qin Ruo!"
When the party was closer to the battlefield, they could sense Qin Ruo's presence. Although they did not see Qin Ruo personally, the freezing air created from the Twelve Frost Ramparts Formation obviously proved that Qin Ruo was there. The party backed off immediately in fright.
"So it is him."
One of the five Tier 5 players—a Terramancer of the team was shocked and uneasy...
Actually, if the player they met was other famous players from Angel Faction such as Scarlet Bauhinia, Majestic Hero or Netherclaw, they can still handle it. Even if the player they met was another few Tier 5 players from the Angel Faction, they could still handle it as well.
Except for the Winter Demon Qin Ruo...
This was akin to a sword being pulled out from a bloody pool dipped in the blood of countless numbers of players from the Demon Faction. Some of the defeated players included several infamous experienced players and a few new Tier 5 players.
When the party saw the Twelve Frost Ramparts Formation, they immediately recalled the Winter Demon Qin Ruo's attack upon Sin City and his annihilation of Twelve Zodiacs League members. Moreover, they still remembered that Qin Ruo cooperated with Black God to eliminate Leon, forced the Black Widow as well as Barca to retreat, and wiped out thousands of Demon Faction players outside Sin City.
This damned Qin Ruo, he was even more demonic than the players from Demon Faction!
Who knows what would happen if someone provoked him...
However, with great risk often comes great reward...
A piece of Legendary equipment would tempt many players.
The Terramancer checked the formation again and gritted his teeth.
"Shit! Let's bet on it!"
"I don't believe that he can still focus on us when he is concentrating on Galbis... Everybody, let's charge together! Destroy his Frostramparts and get rid of the formation. Let's see what he still can do by then to defeat Galbis!"
"Everyone please remember, retreat immediately after destroying his Frostrampart Formation and let Galbis take care of him. After he dies, a few of you lure Galbis away from the area..."
The Terramancer ordered briskly, boosting the morale of the group.
The Winter Demon must die!
Although this mission was very challenging, its success rate was very high.
If they took down the Ultimate Boss as well as the Winter Demon then post it to the forum, the post would attract lots of attention and this would bring glory to their clan as well!
The party had finished their planning excitedly and just when they wanted to act, several Elementalists standing in front of the Terramancer suddenly felt something flash behind them.
They did not realize what that was...
"Shit!"
The Terramancer was startled and yelled angrily. The Stone Barrier surrounding his body collapsed suddenly and the defensive shield was broken too!
"Enemy ambush!"
The Terramancer had just warned the party but unfortunately, he did not have enough time to act. A circle of brown-gray appeared on the body of the Terramancer.
At the same time, there was a loud howl and in the next second, a big chunk of sharp icicle attacked the area where the Terramancer stood, which included the Terramancer himself and other Demon Faction players!
Water elemental magic—Raging Frost Roar...
Now, the party was finally aware that they were ambushed by the enemy!
The Terramancer who gave the command was the unluckiest one. When his shield was destroyed, he was targeted by an Earth spell Petrification, which was cast by another Terramancer...
After the Terramancer had been petrified, he nearly died from it!
How shameful was this if such an incident was known to other players?
The Terramancer had no time to get angry. A dull pain was felt in three spots on his back...
"..."
The freezing effect of Raging Frost Roar was not strong. The most it could do was Blind others temporarily and decrease the Movement Speed of affected players.
At the moment of the ambush, the players from the party yelled simultaneously and retreated immediately.
The warriors instantly activated Combat Aura and Berserk and the Elementalists took out Magic Scrolls as well. They had full concentration on this ambush as they thought that it must be the comrade of the Winter Demon Qin Ruo was protecting him.
After the Terramancer died, the only Tier 5 player from the team used Elemental Perception to lock on the Lizard Bandit Permanent Lock, who had already deactivated his Stealth and Elemental Camouflage status.
"Bandit?!"
"Go to hell!"
The Tier 5 Elementalist was in a fury. He took out a Magic Scroll that struck lightning upon the Raging Frost Roar.
"Ugh!"
Permanent Lock was considered unlucky already.
After he defeated the Tier 5 Terramancer, he prepared to command Big Tongue to use AoE magic to flee from the uproar he caused. He thought that he could just flee that easily but who knew that there was still a Tier 5 player in the party.
With that slight mistake, the Lizard Bandit was struck by lightning...
'Damn you!'
Permanent Lock screamed inwardly. After he was struck by lightning, he felt his body tremble lightly.
Through the Tier 5 Electromancer's Elemental Perception, he could see that the Bandit was split into three. Raging Frost Roar rushed toward the three different directions at a speed achievable only by high agility players.
The Tier 5 Pet Lizard Big Tongue was following one of the three Bandit clones closely.
"That is the original body! Bowmaster chase them down!"
While the Electromancer was collecting the Dark Gold equipment dropped by the Terramancer, the Electromancer commanded another player from the party."Priests! Revive them quickly! The rest of you focus on the Winter Demon!" The Bandit escaped toward the opposite direction of the Twelve Frostramparts Formation. Even the dumbest person ever would know that this was a trap to just lure them away from Qin Ruo.
The Electromancer knew that they could not allow the Winter Demon Qin Ruo to have much time to prepare in such situation, or else everything would fall to ruin...
Permanent Lock turned back and found that the Demon Faction players did not fall for the trap. Frustrated, he activated Stealth and Elemental Camouflage.
At the same time, Big Tongue who was constantly following the Lizard Bandit had gone invisible as well. The Bowmaster who was chasing it suddenly lost track of it.
"Shit!"
The Bowmaster who was commanded by the Electromancer to chase down the Bandit was feeling nervous right now. The Bowmaster finally realized that the enemy he was facing was not just a mere Tier 4 Bandit but Tier 5! Without hesitation, the Bowmaster turned back and escaped immediately. The condition of hunter and prey was reversed right now...
The disappearance of Permanent Lock and the Twin-Headed Lizard had made the Electromancer became anxious and nervous!
However, the Electromancer still took out a Magic Scroll and commanded the Radiant Priest to continue resurrecting the Terramancer and urged the people who were heading towards the Twelve Frostramparts Formation to hurry...
Under such circumstances, Permanent Lock could be sure that whether he and Big Tongue could defeat the perceptive Electromancer or not. While looking at the seven Demon Faction players who were heading toward the Twelve Frost Ramparts Formation, he got jumpy.
'F*ck! There's already lightning and snow here, aren't you aware? Please react!' The Lizard Bandit nervously thought. The seven players from the Demon Faction were getting closer to the Twelve Frost Ramparts Formation. Suddenly, several Frostramparts from the formation created a big gap!
Buzz! Buzz!
Whirl! Whirl!
Thud! Thud!
Four Mannequin Spiders, four Violetwing Venomspiders, and four Chameleon Spiders suddenly burst out from the Twelve Frostramparts Formation and formed an array in before those Demon Faction players!
"..."
Permanent Lock was shocked.
"What is this? A gathering of spiders?"
