Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Qin Ruo’s teasing sent Black God into a fuming tantrum.

“Jealous? Me? F*ck, are you picking a fight with me right now? We still haven’t settled our score over that Lich’s Divinity crystal thing too. And now you’re picking a fight with me? All right, come on. Come at me if you dare...”

“What score? Didn’t we say each of us would get two crystals? I’ll just leave the rest of the crystals from the other four Liches to you guys.”

“You...”

Black God almost threw up blood after he heard that. He continued to roar in anger.

“Yeah, that’s fine, in theory. But you kept all of the two crystals in one go. It would have been fairer to just give each of us one crystal. Majestic Hero, come on. You think he was too greedy too, right?”

Originally, the players who were at the other four Eternity Peaks were quite disadvantaged, and they did not have enough strength to acquire the Golden Key. Therefore, three of them made a deal—each of them would take two of the six Divinities; they also agreed on the same thing for the Legendary Equipment.

They did not expect that there would be so many changes in the plan later on...

Due to the chaos that would occur once the Warp Portal to the Buried City was activated and also other complications related to the Revenge Mission, they halted their plan to further pursue the Golden Key Missions after they killed off the second Lich. They decided to defeat the Dark Knight Commander first then activate the Warp Portal.

They did not pay much attention to the two Divinities that were in Qin Ruo’s hands at that time...

Qin Ruo, who did not give it much thought, gifted both of the crystals to Dinosaurcerer and Judge.

That was how this little conflict happened.

Luckily, Majestic Hero did not mind as much—to him, the entire Buried City was a farming ground for Divinities. If they cleared up the Warp Portal, Tier 5 players would sooner or later acquire their own Divinities—it was just a matter of time. Therefore, after he heard Black God’s complaint, he sided with Qin Ruo, reasoning that he did a lot more hard work and should be rewarded more. Seeing him side with an “outsider” instead of the brother who had been by his side the entire time, Black God threw an even bigger tantrum.

“All right, let’s stop all this nonsense and talk business. Little Qin, your men can handle themselves so there’s nothing to worry about. Can you come over? We’re already here at the Buried City, just above you.”

Qin Ruo was surprised to hear that. He reflectively glanced upwards.

Talk business?

What kind of business?

“Subjugator, I’ll head out for a moment. Take care.” After he informed Subjugator, Qin Ruo swiftly glided to the top of Eternity Peak...

‘Hmm?’

As he reached the peak, he did not only see Darius, Majestic Hero and Black God inside the barrier. There was another tall female player standing next to Majestic Hero. She was holding a small finely-crafted bow. Her chest armor had the Hall of Heroes engraving. Standing on top of the peak together with the others, she emanated a strong heroic temperament.

There were also two other Elementalists, who were obviously neither Majestic Hero’s nor Black God’s men. They were standing next to Darius and his gigantic wolf, holding off the Underworld creatures’ attacks from the mountain paths. But, Qin Ruo could still feel the both of them scanning him with their Elemental Perception...

After he landed on the peak, Qin Ruo looked away from the two Elementalists, who staggered for a short while as Qin Ruo stepped on the ground. These two Elementalists and the female Hall of Heroes Bowmaster seemed to have come from the other three entrances of the Buried City.

Now that was interesting.

They could party up and form a Party of four, then clear the Spectral Shaman Mission together. The Bowmaster could easily help with clearing the mission. She could just snipe their enemies from within the barrier and reap the rewards too. The only thing that left Qin Ruo wondering was whether she was a Tier 4 or Tier 5 Bowmaster...

His question was quickly answered after he received a Party Request from Majestic Hero.

Vibrant Blizzard

Level 50 Divine Bowmaster

“Tsk tsk, I didn’t expect the Hall of Heroes to have such a babe hidden among their ranks.”

“Stop messing around. She’s my wife.” Majestic Hero shot Qin Ruo a stern glare. It was such a rare thing for the former to be so unyieldingly stern; it scared the latter quite a lot.

Qin Ruo immediately let out a fake cough and curtsied before her.

“Greetings, Sister-in-law!”

Vibrant Blizzard giggled lightly at his comical shift of attitude, and gracefully shook his hand.

“Teehee... I didn’t think the famous Winter Demon would be so humorous. You don’t look like the fabled mass-murdering monster at all. Now, tell me, do you have a girlfriend yet? We’ve got plenty of attractive single young ladies in our social circle here.”

“Um...”

Qin Ruo was tongue-tied. This “Sister-in-law” of his was such a match-maker. Could she be a reincarnation of Cupid?

Majestic Hero immediately interjected.

“Don’t mind her. She’s always like that. When she sees any bright young lad, she tends to play matchmaking... Honey, forget it. This one’s already taken.”

“Really?”

Vibrant Blizzard looked disappointed. She was sure that Qin Ruo would love to meet a little sister from the sisterhood. The girl was such a “Winter Demon fan” too.

Black Rock, who already knew her beforehand, stepped closer to Qin Ruo and sorted his collar. “Ahem... Ahem, ahem! Um, Sis... about the sisters you know... how pretty are they?”

“Well, many of them are models. Their beauty, no matter face or figure, is top notch,” Vibrant Blizzard bragged proudly.

“Really?! Then... perhaps...”

Black God’s eyes beamed as he heard that. Yet, before he could continue to inquire more from Vibrant Blizzard, the latter turned to Qin Ruo and continued.

“Little Ruo, everyone from my sisterhood’s a great looker. Trust me. Now, if your girlfriend decides to break up with you in the future... don’t worry, just tell me. I’ll have a bevy of wonderful ladies waiting to become your girlfriend over here.”

“Okay, okay... Honey, stop. We can’t just go around wishing for other couples to break up like this.” Majestic Hero could not help but stop his wife from constantly harassing his young friend, who was utterly speechless due to her passionate insistence.

On the other hand, Black God felt very dejected. He had been so direct with her too... Why was he ignored? Yet, she insisted on shoving the bevy of wonderful ladies onto Qin Ruo’s crotch?

“Um... well... actually... Sis! You see... I haven’t got a girlfriend yet.”

“Hmm?” Vibrant Blizzard finally noticed the poor, dejected Black God and looked at him in surprise.

“Really?!”

Black God nodded his head really hard.

“But you’re over thirty years old, right?”

“...I’m twenty-eight.”

“Ah, you’re still young... Don’t worry! Just keep on looking and you’ll meet the right one.”

After Vibrant Blizzard patted him on the shoulder with an earnest encouragement, she turned to Qin Ruo again...

Black God was speechless. He looked dejectedly at Majestic Hero, who in turn avoided eye contact with him. Black God looked at Vibrant Blizzard, who was passionately probing Qin Ruo further, before he looked at Qin Ruo...

After a few seconds, he approached the edge of Eternity Peak and dived down!

***

About a minute, Black God glided back to the peak. Other Elementalists from Netherspirit’s Claw and Bloody Mary Clan then leaped down from their peak, opening up some room for the four of them.

“Blizzard... let’s stop fooling around.” Majestic Hero threw a light glare at his wife. She mischievously stuck her tongue out at him and finally stopped talking. The former then turned to Qin Ruo and Black God.

“Good, let’s get back on track. I calculated earlier... If we add everyone from all the six Eternity Peaks, we would have twenty-seven members to choose from to team up with and take on the Dark Knight Commander.”

While he spoke, Qin Ruo and Black God’s eyes glimmered. They both looked at one and another, nodding in excitement.

“That should be enough to defeat him!”

“Exactly. Even if we send out two teams to take on the Dark Knights, we’ll still have extras on our side... So, three of us could party up and defeat the Dark Knight Commander...”

As Black God gave his suggestion, Qin Ruo had a second thought and rubbed his nose.

“But... wouldn’t that be too much?” He paused for a moment and proceeded to explain, “The Dark Knights are merely Tier 5 Megabosses... We’ll need only one Tier 5 player to deal with each of them... As for the others, they could split up and take out the patrols instead... And if there are extra men, they could help us gang up on the Dark Knight Commander.”

“Hmm, I agree with Qin Ruo’s plan. Black God, remember... our main objective here isn’t to defeat all of the Dark Knights. We’re here to take out only one target—the Dark Knight Commander. If we can stop his Dark Knight reinforcements from showing up, we’ll have a much easier time defeating him.”

After listening to Majestic Hero’s explanation, Black Rock nodded.

“I see. That’s a good plan indeed. Let’s do just that then... but... which one will be our primary target? Plus, we need to ensure that our brethren rendezvous at the same location safely too... We can’t make any mistakes there.”

“I’ve determined our first target. The other five targets are just a little farther away from the one closest to us... Besides, the Buried City has settled down too. Hence, there shouldn’t be any hiccups in the middle of our operation.”

“All right.”

Qin Ruo nodded in agreement. Majestic Hero was always the cautious one; his plans were also always the safest ones to execute.

“Still, there are two things I’m worried about.” Majestic Hero’s tone of voice suddenly turned serious. He turned to Qin Ruo and Black God, then added.

“The Buried City will be sent into chaos like yesterday once the first Dark Knight Commander is slain.... And this Underworld uproar will last for an entire day. If that’s the case, the difficulty in defeating the second Dark Knight Commander will be tremendously high!”

“Yeah.”

Qin Ruo and Black God nodded again, sharing the same concern as Majestic Hero.

If it were just one Dark Knight Commander, they would not have really needed the combined might of all five Clans. Besides, after defeating the Dark Knight Commander, the ownership of the Ring of Vengeance would be a huge issue to decide on as well!

Thus, their main problem was not about defeating the Dark Knight Commander, it was about what would come after—defeating the second or third Dark Knight Commander. The more they could defeat within those two days while the Buried City’s Underworld creatures were in an uproar, the better.

“Let’s just put this aside first. We’ll figure out what to do once we determine the strength of the twelve Dark Knights and the Dark Knight Commander. ”

“Agreed.”

Majestic Hero showed his approval for Qin Ruo’s suggestion.

“Also, we’ll need to stay on guard.”

“I’ve heard news that... Savior and Sinistress have already led Satan’s Salvation and Maverick Vatican into the Buried City too...”
