"Qin Ruo also went to Mercenary Guild to register his party? Is this true?" Somewhere in the depths the Mythical Battlefield, Netherclaw, who was leading his party to look for their enemy in the Monster Mountains stopped in his tracks. He frowned as he used a slightly doubtful tone to ask the person who sent over the news in their party channel.
"Those who followed him in all publicly announced their details. There's no mistake about it."
"This punk... Violet Orchid and Scarlet Bauhinia both had established their parties, but this punk actually didn't join Violet Orchid or Scarlet Bauhinia. What the hell is he doing? Does he plan to create his own party?"
The third voice suddenly rang in the party channel... It belonged to Dark Dragon, who was leading another party to hunt in another area of the Mythical Battlefield.
Since the siege on Moonrise City ended, Dark Dragon became more sensitive toward every information and action pertaining to Qin Ruo, a Champion who could successfully sneak an attack on Savior and kill Death Jesus, who were both Tier 5 Champions.
He also annihilated Tiger Cub who was in Stealth Mode under the noses of a team of fifteen Champions. Even after he was exposed, he successfully killed three enemy faction Champions... A battle record like this was enough to make Dark Dragon treat this seriously.
Winter Demon Qin Ruo. This name rang so many times till Netherclaw could no longer not take its importance.
Hearing how Dark Dragon slightly changed his tone when speaking about Qin Ruo, Netherclaw was silent for a few seconds. He then suddenly asked, "Announcing his details, it seems like Qin Ruo was prepared to openly intervene in the Battle of the Clans this time... Rat, what kind of people did he go with?"
The player whose name was Fat Mouse was addressed as Rat by Netherclaw, was a Level 49 Dark Bowmaster. Before their party was formed, he was dispatched to Moonrise City's Mercenary Guild by Netherclaw to pay close attention to all the Tier 5 Champions who entered the guild to register their parties, particularly Majestic Hero and Scarlet Bauhinia who were veteran Tier 5 Champions.
Since a long time ago, Netherclaw had never been able to emerge amongst the three huge leagues, to completely top their abilities above Hall of Heroes and Bauhinia.
This time, Netherclaw naturally did not want to lose to these two people in Angel Faction's first Battle of the Clans in the future.
Only these two were able to make him feel anxious.
But when Fat Mouse listed Qin Ruo's party line-up and members, Netherclaw eventually scowled.
'Black Rock, Apocalypse, and Fateless. Since when did Qin Ruo buy over these three fellas?'
"F*ck! Why does he always have this kind of luck?" Dark Dragon's voice sounded helpless and disheartened in the party channel."Disregarding Black Rock and the others, that punk 'Fateless' is someone who's famous for his arrogance. He even ignored our invitation last time... How come he'd join Qin Ruo's team? Also wasn't Apocalypse a Clan Leader last time? How come he's hanging out with Qin Ruo? What's so good about that guy?"
If one Bandit Assassin, three Elementalists who possessed Angelic Wings, a Tier 5 Summoner and two Tier 5 warriors joined Qin Ruo's party...
With just this line-up, it was no longer inferior compared to the original Netherspirit's Claw's members whom Netherclaw had gathered last minute. Qin Ruo apparently had a high-profile clan, which even had the possibility of forming a league!
Allowing an originally nameless Aquamancer to climb up to Angel Faction's top position in such a short time, how would Dark Dragon be able to take this?
Netherclaw was also uneasy!
With Fateless' addition, along with the news spread about Qin Ruo's deeds in the Demon Faction half an hour ago... The title 'Angel Faction's first Clan', would obviously have an additional strong competitor!
"Rat, continue to keep watch."
"The rest of you don't lose focus! Speed up on completing the quest, quickly gather 1, 000 Honor Points. The rights to Angel Faction's number one clan... Us Netherspirit's Claw must obtain it!" Netherclaw's eyes flashed with concern.
...
Just as Netherclaw's group were stepping up to gather Honor Points in the Mythical Battlefield, half of Moonrise City was in an uproar.
Two players with Angelic Wings appeared, along with Fateless. With that, several other Champions had all made way for Qin Ruo and the crowd was gasping in shock. After they applied for their party quest in a high-profile manner in front of the eyes of the crowd, in less than fifteen minutes after they left...
A dark horse had emerged in the Angel Faction. H&G's party ranking board had never received such eager attention!
Fallen Angels!
An unknown party name, from 218 Honor Points, had squeezed straight into Angel Faction's party's top five in terms of total Honor Points!
Ranked first was Netherspirit's Claw Party, 427 Honor Points, Founder Netherclaw.
Second place: Scarlet Dynasty Party, 411 Honor Points, Founder Scarlet Bauhinia.
Third place: Black Jail Party, 402 Honor Points, Founder Black God.
Fourth Place: Bloody Mary Party, 239 Honor Points, Founder Bloodstained King.
Fifth Place: Fallen Angels Party, 217 Honor Points, Founder Qin Ruo!
...
On the individual Honor Points Leaderboard, Qin Ruo had topped the Angel Faction Leaderboard with 147 Honor Points, for Fallen Angels's Honor Points to enter Fifth Place one shot, was something undisputable;
But on the individual Honor Points Leaderboard, the second dark horse quickly appeared...
Honor Points steadily rose from Fallen Angels's party member Fateless!
It was unknown starting from whom, but a few people were already able to reach the top hundred and top fifty for Angel Faction's individual Honor Points in one shot. This advancement was going strong. There seemed to be a little chase after Lizard Bandit's unlockable advancement!
Not up to twenty minutes after Fallen Angels's establishment...
The originally placed fourth Bloody Mary Party had unwittingly been pushed down to fifth place by Fallen Angels. Fallen Angels was catching up to the top three giants, with such fearsome momentum, even the three top parties' founders felt that Winter Demon Qin Ruo was aggressively catching up from behind sharply and fiercely like his name!
...
"This punk is crazy."
In the Monster Mountains, Netherclaw witnessed the shrinking gap between Fallen Angels Party and Netherspirit's Claw Party on the leaderboard. His heart was filled with anxiety. With a party of two hundred full elites, each of their speed in gathering Honor Points at a more popular battlefield in the Mythical Battlefield was actually incomparable to two of Fallen Angels's tactical gambit!
How was he able to take this?
But thinking about it, he became somehow relieved...
Qin Ruo's ability to fly in Stealth mode was unquestionable. With an ability like this, he could search for enemy league player groups from a higher ground conveniently and quickly.
As long as a suitable target was decided upon and not bumping into any Tier 5 Elementalists, with Qin Ruo's ability, he would be able to completely harvest the Honor Points at lightning speed. Immediately after he finishes, he could head over to another area of the vast Mythical Battlefield.
In comparison, the old way of collecting Honor Points had become rather difficult! Even with experience, he would not even be able to keep up with solo players like Fateless who roamed the Mythical Battlefield alone.
"Dark Dragon, Snowmelt..."
With an imposing tone, Netherclaw spoke out two names in the party channel.
Snowmelt was dragged into 'Netherspirit's Claw Party' by Netherclaw after his clan was dissolved. This was also because Netherclaw was very fervent in rebuilding Netherspirit's Claw as Angel Faction's strongest.
Majestic Hero had yet to return online, therefore Hall of Heroes currently had no advancement; while Bauhinia had suddenly restructured. When Scarlet Bauhinia set up Scarlet Dynasty, he had lost the few power horses, Homme Fatale, and Violet Orchid. Both of them would not be able to oppose Netherspirit's Claw! Netherspirit's Claw had strong players join in. Their abilities improved and completely had the qualifications to become Angel Faction's number one clan.
But now...
Netherclaw suddenly thought that perhaps he had become too conservative. He had lost the courage which he had in the past which was nothing compared to the new generation.
After Dark Dragon and Snowmelt's respective replies, Netherclaw suddenly spread his dazzling Angelic Wings. Like a light within the dark Monster Mountains, he slowly rose to the sky."All of you continue the quest, I'm taking a trip to Sin City."
Netherclaw's decision caused the two Tier 5 Champions in the party channel to change their expressions at their same time...
"Right now?"
"You alone? No way, it's too dangerous!"
"Don't worry."
Netherclaw majestically flew into the skies of the Mythical Battlefield."The people who can hold me back in the Demon Faction aren't many, a number of them are rushing with their quests in the Buried City... We can't use this method to continue on. Although Qin Ruo's methods are wild and incomprehensible, this idea isn't too bad. Let's learn from him, otherwise we wouldn't even know when we're lagging behind him."
"But if you travel near Sin City, once you're exposed, the few people at Demon Faction may return when they receive the news."
"Don't worry. Although I don't have Qin Ruo's stealth ability, I'm still very clear on guerrilla warfare. I wouldn't casually use my Angelic Wings right outside Sin City... Alright, you guys stop worrying about this... Take care of your groups and be more careful yourselves."
After giving his last instructions, Netherclaw cut through the brightening skies of the Mythical Battlefield and flew toward the direction of Sin City.
In the sky, Netherclaw looked down at the unusually visible teams below, and finally... he could slowly and clearly feel Qin Ruo's carefree assault methods and his speed of harvesting Honor Points.
The expression on his face slowly became heavier.
At that moment...
An unexpected message rang in his ears."Clan Leader, Majestic Hero has arrived at the Mercenary Guild too..."
Netherclaw's silhouette halted. The heavy expression on his face had somehow dampened even more. He hastily asked, "When did this happen?"
"Just only, " Rat continued to speak, "He just only applied for the party quest, he hasn't left. Mm? Hold on... Clan Leader! He seems to be submitting the quest..." Rat's sudden shriek caused Netherclaw's heart to sink.
He summoned the H&G Party Leaderboard without delay.
Netherclaw coldly frowned...
As expected!
Hall of Heroes Party was formed...
Bloody Mary Party which had just dropped to fifth place had now dropped to sixth place as they were overtaken by the newly formed Hall of Heroes Party.
Fifth place: Hall of Heroes Party, 277 Honor Points; Founder Majestic Hero!
...
Netherclaw hovered the boundless sky and took a deep breath. Great, everyone had gathered. After that... he shot toward Sin City's direction once again."Let's see who will earn that title of Angel Faction's number one clan!"
