Chapter 768 - Path of the King (1/2)
“It’s rumoured that Devil World Riders is the holy place for Shamans. They got basically all the good Shamans, with 13 out of the top 20 in the game. But they aren’t strong enough to pose a threat to us.” Young Seven gave his evaluation. Out of Devil World Rider’s 13 Shamans, only one so far had successfully advanced to Master class. “As for Asura Inferno, they’re mostly known for their Warriors. But they don’t even have a single Master yet.”
“It’s best if we don’t fall out with them,” Nie Yan said after thinking for a moment. Asskickers United didn’t have any enmity with these two guilds. There was no need to pointlessly make more enemies.
Nie Yan’s group of 21 Masters flashed through the streets before appearing on the roofs of the buildings near the square where Phantom Princess Ina was. They stood loftily and proudly, as they gazed down at the battlefield.
As soon as Nie Yan appeared, Phantom Princess Ina grew berserk. She lashed out with her tentacles, sending the players around her flying, and charged toward him.
Only then did everyone notice the arrival of Nie Yan and the others.
“Who are they?”
“That’s Nirvana Flame!”
“Asskickers United’s 21 Masters are all here!”
…
This news spread like wildfire throughout the square. The players trembled in fear, especially those from Angel Corps. They immediately descended into a panic as they felt their legs go weak.
“Boss, it’s Nirvana Flame!” an orc Warrior cried out toward a player standing on a nearby roof. This player was Apex Evil, the guild leader of Devil World Riders.
Apex Evil looked over. Nie Yan and the others were overlooking the entire battlefield, like lofty gods up high in the clouds. He knew they possessed the power to wipe out everyone here. As a Master himself, how could he not? Just what kind of concept was 21 Masters? A single Forbidden Spell could turn everything here into a pile of ruins.
There was no running away. So, Apex Evil headed toward Nie Yan.
From another part of the square, the guild leader of Asura Inferno, Blood Lotus Asura Blade, was also moving towards Nie Yan.
Even though Devil World Riders and Asura Inferno were rivals, they generally showed restrained with each other. After all, they had a greater common enemy to worry about in the form of Angel Corps.
Apex Evil and Blood Lotus Asura Blade met gazes. Both players revealed helpless smiles.
They quickly arrived at about 100 meters from Nie Yan’s party and stopped.
“Boss, those two are Apex Evil and Blood Lotus Asura Blade,” Undying Scoundrel said.
Nie Yan looked over at them. Even at this distance, he could see their appearances clearly.
“I didn’t expect the great Nirvana Flame would come here. It’s an honour.” Apex Evil cupped his hands in greeting.
Blood Lotus Asura Blade also gave his greetings.
They showed great respect for Nie Yan. After all, this man had the lives of all their members in his hands. How could they not be careful? Asskickers United was incredibly powerful. So much so, that even though Devil World Riders and Asura Inferno were also widely recognized hegemons, they didn’t amount to anything in front of Asskickers United. Asskickers United could probably completely rout them within a week if they wanted to.
“You’re too polite.” Nie Yan faintly nodded.
Apex Evil and Blood Lotus Asura Blade didn’t mind if Nie Yan was looking down on them. Even if he behaved rudely, he had the ability to back it up.
“Are you here for Phantom Princess Ina? If you want, we can vacate the premises within three minutes. Just say the word,” Apex Evil said.
“Asura Inferno is of the same mind,” Blood Lotus Asura Blade said.
Apex Evil and Blood Lotus Asura Blade were both ruthless and ambitious characters. However, they knew when to back off. Nie Yan wasn’t someone they could afford to offend.
Asskickers United had swept through the Viridian Empire, conquering every battlefield they set foot on. Most recently, they had even brought the flames of war to the Clemenci Stronghold, evoking fear in the hearts of Apex Evil and Blood Lotus Asura Blade. If even the ruler of the Satreen Empire, Angel Corps, wasn’t a match for Asskickers United, there was no need to talk about them.
Right now, Asskickers United’s opponent was Angel Corps and the Century Financial Group. Everyone understood there was no benefit in making more enemies everywhere.
“We’re indeed interested in Phantom Princess Ina. If she drops any equipment, I want priority. One piece, you guys can split the rest among yourselves,” Nie Yan said.
Apex Evil and Blood Lotus Asura Blade glanced at each other. Their eyes flickered with a trace of happiness and surprise. They didn’t expect the situation to take such a turn. Variant Lords like Phantom Princess Ina normally dropped multiple pieces of equipment along with precious gems and other items. They believed with Nie Yan’s appearance, they wouldn’t even get to have a sip of the soup. This was great!
“Thank you for your generosity, Nirvana Flame.”
