"The Executors... They were established three hours ago; their Clan Leader, Remorseless Warrior is a winged player. Currently, there's no information on the extent of his strength. He has over eleven Tier 5 Champions and thousands of elite players under him as well. You could consider them another new MVP Clan in the Angel Faction." Seeing the sheer number of players from the Executors after they stepped through the entrance of the Aricus Underground Ruins, Violet Orchid slowly told everyone about the new and rising Clan.
However, there was one thing that everyone found surprising... No one out of the thirteen Tier 5 Champions had ever heard of Remorseless Warrior, who had now become one of the strongest Clan Leaders in the Angel Faction. Not even anyone from the Top 3 Clans...
There was even more to be flabbergasted about—everyone from the Executors, from the Field Commander to the Vice Leader, was mysteriously unknown to the rest of the players too. It seemed like they had never communicated with anyone and just suddenly appeared out of thin air. It was even more sudden than Qin Ruo's rise.
If that was the case, there was only one explanation... Those people were previously from the same Guild, and due to some circumstances, they had maintained a low profile for a long period of time. After the introduction of the Pet System, they rode the Tier 5 ranking wave and climbed all the way to the top.
"Even Netherspirit's Claw has retreated... These Executors are really something, " Permanent Lock and Fateless, who went ahead to do reconnaissance on Level 2 of the Aricus Underground Ruins, reported back.
"They have Tier 5 men spread out all over the spawn points. Looks like it'll be very difficult for us to gather all the Gorefiend Spider Demon parts in one go—"
Before they could finish their report, Black Rock bellowed in the Party Channel, "Oh, come on! Even if they're Tier 5, there's still a gap in strength. If we really clash with them, what would those other Tier 4 players be able to achieve?" Indeed, the Tier 4 elite players, no matter how strong, were never a threat to Tier 5 players, especially to the highly-confident Black Rock. He had completely mastered the functions of the Galbis Despair set.
He could utilize many methods to detect and get close to the Gorefiend Spider Demon in an instant... After that, all they needed to do was have the Tier 5 players maintain the speed of their Buffs and their damage output. The Parties that were comprised of Tier 4 players would not stand a chance at all.
"Sure, but it never hurts to exercise caution, " Violet Orchid reminded everyone."The fact is, we have no idea what the Executors are capable of at this point. I know you folks in the Fallen Angels can take on anything, but before Ace of Spades and her team finishes compiling information on that Clan, there's a possibility that you guys might just be a small twenty-person clan to the Executors. Therefore, just be careful when you contest for the Boss later."
After hearing her words, everyone started to hold their weapons tightly.
'A contest... That's even better. '
"We have over 5, 000 Honor Points under our belt. If they're looking for a fight, we'll see how long they can last..." Subjugator replied with a teasing grin. All that he saw from the Executors along the way to the Aricus Underground Ruins were just earnest and harmless smiles.
Violet Orchid was speechless.
Those people were violent barbarians!
There was also something she did not anticipate—right after they approached the entrance to the Ruins, a group from the Executors stealthily appeared and stood in their way.
The leader of the group was a Tier 4 Warrior. He anxiously asked Qin Ruo and his gang, "Umm... May I ask if you're heading towards the Buried City?"
Slayer's Heart, who was walking at the very front, threw a cold glance at the thirty Executors. He raised his Pazuzu's Warhammer and said two words.
"Move aside."
Those Tier 4 players must have collected quite an amount of courage to block a group of Tier 5 players like that.
After hearing Slayer's Heart's words, the Warrior anxiously smile and continued, "Our Clan Leader wants to talk to all of you here. Could you please wait for a moment? You know, to discuss some details about entering the Buried City... Argh!"
Before he could finish, a sudden wave of heat swept over; the Warrior saw three glaring red lights, then everything turned pitch black... He was dead.
It all happened before anyone could react.
Not only the Executors, but also fellow members of the Fallen Angels did not realize that Subjugator's attack could be so strong and swift—they did not even see him charge up his Combat Aura before he slew the Warrior with an offensive Tier 3 skill.
After he murdered the Warrior, Subjugator looked at the corpse on the ground while he touched his burning red Brilliant Sword. He spoke to the other furious Tier 4 players, "Who the hell is your Clan Leader? So he thinks he can just send you newbies to block us, especially the three Clan Leaders here? Who the hell does he think he is?"
The faces of those from the Executors turned pale after they heard what Subjugator said. Regardless, not one of them dared to attack him after they saw his ability to kill one of them in a flash. Besides, he was somewhat right—it was inappropriate of them to send pawns to block the three Clan Leaders of the Fallen Angels, Bauhinia Clan, and Violent Army Clan.
Looking at the corpse on the floor, all they could do was send a private message to inform their superiors.
However, the other side did not care to wait...
Slayer's Heart activated Berserk Shell and pointed Pazuzu's Warhammer at them."Move aside!"
"Wait-Wait... our Clan Leader's on his way... Oh... all right... we'll move away! We'll move!" Even though Remorseless Warrior was a prideful person, his lowly underlings did not have the courage to face the veterans head on. Full of anxiety and dread, they stepped away, opening up the path to the entrance after seeing Slayer's Heart's Berserk aura creeping into his Pazuzu's Warhammer.
The Executors had no choice but to angrily watch as Qin Ruo, Violet Orchid, and the rest entered the Aricus Underground Ruins...
"Subjugator's weapon is of Legendary Grade?" Violet Orchid asked via the Party Channel after they entered the Ruins.
"Yeah, it's newly crafted too, " Qin Ruo, who was standing beside her, replied.
"Crafted? Oh, crafted by that Moony girl you recently recruited?" Violet Orchid was surprised. Slayer's Heart, Dinosaurcerer, and the others also had astonished expressions.
It had to be the very first handmade Legendary Weapon in the game's history...
"What's its attribute?" Homme Fatale, who had always been cool and quiet, asked.
"It's enchanted with 100 points of Defense-Piercing Fire Damage."
Subjugator's reply was short and simple.
Although that was just an attribute that he let them in on, everyone on the scene knew that the attribute held great value.
"That's a great attribute. Does every single piece of your Gold Equipment possess Fire Resistance too?" Homme Fatale was surprised.
Subjugator nodded."The total damage is up to 350."
Like the others, Homme Fatale was stunned once he heard that...
"That's impressive!"
Dinosaurcerer, who had recently ascended to Tier 5, stepped closer. Feeling bewildered, he exclaimed, "I was so confused earlier. How did you defeat that Warrior with just one strike? I thought that kid was wounded and didn't have much HP. Sh*t! This means your Fire Dragon's Pierce dealt at least 1, 050 damage earlier. F*ck! That's so insane! No wonder he got slain so easily... How would we dare take a piss at you in the future now?"
"Ha... Sadly, my Defense is too low. Just now, I felt comfortable attacking alone because it was just a Tier 4 player... If it had been a Boss, I couldn't have done it alone." Subjugator sighed, but everyone could see a prideful beam in his eyes.
Low Defense? So what? In the event of teamwork, his Defense-Piercing Fire Damage would be very useful. Even if it was a one-on-one duel, he would still have the upper hand, and if it was a Player-versus-Environment situation, he would be the primary damage-per-second deliverer.
"Yeah, just keep humblebragging. But don't forget, I still haven't used my Galbis set. Save the next one for me..." grumbled Black Rock.
"Next one? You sure?" Fateless asked with a wry smile.
Black Rock was speechless for a while after he heard those words. Then he replied agitatedly, "Of course! I have the Galbis Despair Set! Even if their Clan Leader comes, I'll take him out in a flash."
"... Umm, yeah that's true... The next one, as you wish. You'll indeed face Remorseless Warrior himself. He's heading your way now. The kid's quite strong—he's already forced a number of Clans to retreat from the Ruins already. Some have even been slain by him. Be careful."
"Careful my a**! You think we're so weak that he could kill us all?" Black Rock threw a disdained look at Fateless. In the meantime, two silhouettes flew towards them from the deep part of the Ruins.
The one in front was the Clan Leader of The Executors—the Winged Champion, Remorseless Warrior.
***
"My apologies! We didn't expect your arrival so we only had enough time to send some new members ahead to meet you. That was indeed impolite, so please accept my apology."
Remorseless Warrior landed in front of Qin Ruo and his gang. He retracted his Angelic Wings and greeted them with refined humility.
"It's all right."
As Slayer's Heart replied warmly, Remorseless Warrior's face suddenly turned cold."But still... even if my underlings lacked manners, there was no need for you to murder him though? Now that you've done it, please tell me... how would you like me to handle this injustice against the Executors?"
As Remorseless Warrior completed his words, several Tier 4 players from the Executors arrived and landed behind him. The warmth in the air suddenly turned cold as everyone's face became solemn...
So, he was a double-faced bastard... All the humility and manners he showed earlier, it was all a front.
"If that's the case..."
Qin Ruo stepped out of his group, stopping the others from attacking. He did not think that Remorseless Warrior as well as his Tier 4 and Tier 5 Clanmates would pick a fight with him.
"... How would you suggest handling this then, Remorseless Warrior?" Qin Ruo calmly replied with an indifferent glare at Remorseless Warrior and his Executors.
