Chapter 268 – Divinity

The battle in Kiln Fire Woods which made Nie Yan an overnight sensation had become an unforgettable memory in the minds of the players.

Ever since, the popularity of the Mad Rogue spread like wildfire.

After so long, Nie Yan revealed this gesture yet again. What did it mean? Was it a death sentence?

The guilds in Sinful Gorge were all watching the scene unfold from the sidelines. They had looked on as Nie Yan lured the Golden Dragon to the forces of Radiant Sacred Flame, plunging their ranks into chaos. In the same fashion, they witnessed him directing he cutthroat gesture towards Nightbreak Trickster.

This was a declaration of war! It was pure provocation!

Was Nie Yan planning to repeat the events of Kiln Fire Woods?

Radiant Sacred Flame wasn’t Unhindered, and Nightbreak Trickster wasn’t Hei Zhuo!

When Nie Yan was still relatively unknown, Nightbreak Trickster was already an illustrious figure, a publically acknowledged expert! The only reason he wasn’t the topic of every conversation was that he rarely stepped into the limelight!

From the moment he activated Magic Ignition, Nightbreak Trickster had put on a dominant display. He always kept his opponent on the backfoot. And on more than one occasion, he was only inches from killing Nie Yan.

Although Radiant Sacred Flame had suffered disastrous losses, Nightbreak Trickster still had a good number of people by his side. Among them there was no lack of Warriors and Paladins. With so many people protecting him, he had nothing to fear.

Did Nie Yan really have the confidence to turn the tide under these circumstances?

It was easy to talk the talk, but what about walking the walk?

No one believed Nie Yan would succeed, especially not the target of his provocation.

Nightbreak Trickster’s expression turned even colder. This arrogant gesture was the final tipping point. He began gathering power as magical energy surged around him. His body slowly levitated until it was about half-a-meter off the ground, whereupon the surrounding players felt a heavy pressure descend on them.

The Warriors and Paladins guarding Nightbreak Trickster’s side subconsciously retreated several steps. Their hearts shook in alarm. It was that spell! Even they weren’t quite clear on the specifics of this buff magic.

“You want to kill me, Mad Rogue? Give it your best shot!” Nightbreak Trickster thundered. He resembled a divine being overlooking the world with contempt!

Divinity!

Nightbreak Trickster chanted out a series of deep and resounding syllables as all magical energy within a hundred meter radius surged toward him.

Nie Yan’s expression paled. This son of a bitch even knows Divinity…? Magic Ignition and Divinity were rewards that could only be obtained by completing the first two quests of a six-part quest chain, similar to Karsi’s Blessing. It was rumoured in the previous timeline that those who could complete the second quest were few and far between.

Divinity temporarily granted the player unlimited mana on top of removing the cast time and greatly reducing the cooldown of up to three non-advanced magic spells. Just like Magic Ignition, there was also a heavy backlash for activating this spell.

The magical halos around Nightbreak Trickster vibrated in resonance, producing an audible hum.

Nightbreak Trickster’s body was like a whirlpool, rapidly drawing in the surrounding magical energy in the atmosphere.

He waved his staff, Blizzard!

Storm clouds instantly blotted out the sky, evoking a bone-chilling tempest that plunged the world in ice and snow.
