Chapter 486 - No One Escapes (1/2)

Golden Fragrance had originally never intended to call for help. Firstly, because she believed there were enough people, and secondly, because if her equipment dropped, she didn’t want it falling into someone else’s hands. Despite being in the same guild, when faced with good equipment, the trust between one another was almost obsolete.

Chen Yehui had obviously thought about this, which was why he arranged it in such a way. He even hoped people from Herb Garden and Blue Brook Guild to be far away from them, let alone calling for a.s.sistance. The path he left would already be considered fairly out of the way.

As a result, Chen Yehui was shocked when Golden Fragrance called for help.

Even if it's Ye Qiu! Even if Deception was also very strong! They had over 20 people! Wouldn't calling for more a.s.sistance be over the top?

Chen Yehui could tolerate if the two escaped again, but he found it hard to believe that the two couldn't be defeated?

“What happened?” Chen Yehui wanted to find out what was going on, but the news Golden Fragrance sent didn't say much. She merely sent her marked location, calling for help.

How could Golden Fragrance possibly have time to explain? The group of people’s quick AOE attacks struck them dumb with astonishment.

Twelve people annihilated in under a minute, which meant a person was killed every five seconds on average. How long would sending this message take? By the time the message was sent, she would long be dead.

Golden Fragrance saw Chen Yehui’s questioning message, but she also saw the people rus.h.i.+ng towards her like the wind. It was definite that replying to the message would cost her her life, so Golden Fragrance ignored the message to turned tail and run without hesitation.

Run!

Purely running away.

She didn't have any routes of escape or acts of resistance, she just turned around and pressed the key to scurry straight forward.

Before, the three great guilds had pursued Lord Grim and Deception restlessly, but right at this moment, in a certain way, events had taken a great turn.

When escaping, Ye Xiu was rich in experience, so he was very skilful; now that it's his turn to pursue, his ability was by no means weaker. In addition, Golden Fragrance and her group were only aiming to go forward and forward and forward. They didn't even observe their pursuers’ action. They chose a running style that required the least amount of skill.

Stun Bullet!

Hundred Streams!

Ye Xiu and Deception each used a skill.

Lord Grim’s bullet caught a player while Deception’s water streams surged closely behind. The streams instantly formed into a water prison, which incapacitated the player.

The imprisoned player was dazed. Although the water prison had caught him, in a way, it protected him as well. As long as the prison was up, he couldn't receive any damage.

Before he could understand any of it, the people behind Lord Grim and Deception were already charging forward. They attacked while they ran, so it didn't take long before the water prison was destroyed. The second wave of attacks thrusted him into the ground. After that, the mob only needed to throw out some random attacks to finish him off.

The ghost floated in midair while its player watched with a stunned expression as the mob rushed over his corpse. It was as if his consciousness was still lingering in confusion back at the water prison. The time the had pa.s.sed only felt like the blink of an eye before he was sent off to float into the sky. Yet, the opponents’ footsteps didn't slow down a fraction. As they stomped over his corpse, they managed to shorten the distance between themselves and the escaping players ahead.

A lot of offensive skills had a slight displacement effect and these effects were faster than plain running. The pursuers skilfully utilised these skills, so while they killed the previous player, they weren't delayed at all.

Another died!

Golden Fragrance and her group didn't even dare to look back, they discovered the losses through the darkened names on their team list. They didn't have time to check who it was, they even hoped that the player sacrificed could perhaps help them earn a bit of time to escape.

In a bright flash, a person’s silhouette was instantly formed, right in the center of Golden Fragrance’s group.

Teleportation!

An actual teleportation, which was an electric type Elementalist skill.

An Elementalist teleporting into a group of people would usually be considered an act of suicide.

However, Golden Fragrance and her group were desperate to escape, so all they thought was: D*mn it, they have caught up!

As they thought, the Elementalist’s teleportation wasn't an act of suicide!

The staff lifted as it made cracking sounds. A few sheets of ice walls immediately formed behind the elementalist.

The people trapped within the ice walls panicked, they threw whatever skills they could afford towards the ice walls. Unfortunately, the delay was enough for the people behind them to catch up.

Shadow Cloak!

Double Flying Hands!

This time, Ye Xiu coordinated himself with the Grappler. The six people whom were stopped by the ice wall were instantly gathered together by the skills of Ye Xiu and the Grappler. Under the blast of AOE skills, it was without a doubt another textbook type of AOE combat style. There was little to no time difference from when the first, fifth or last person fell down.

In addition, the remaining energy waves from the attacks happened to break the ice walls in time. After finis.h.i.+ng off the six people, they continued their pursuit. The ice walls didn’t bring them any inconvenience.

We’ve lost another six!

There were only six people remaining in Golden Fragrance’s group. From that moment on, even the number of people’s advantage was overturned. Lord Grim’s group have seven people in total, besting their group by one person. Although the Cleric from before didn’t have much use after healing Lord Grim.

“Everyone, run in separate directions!!” Golden Fragrance yelled.

The six people’s sacrifice finally helped them gain a bit of time. A crossroad appeared before them, even though someone would be doomed after splitting up, at least it was a good plan to prevent a team wipe. The six people’s avatars on the team list darkened simultaneously, evident that they were wiped out through the use of AOE skills. Golden Fragrance and her group were already very deeply afraid of Lord Grim’s mob of AOE techniques.

One step, two steps, three steps…...

Why aren’t we at the intersection yet!
