Chapter 787 - Graceful Strike (1/2)

Blood Devil wanted his team members to better understand the skills of the Masters in the Righteous Faction. A little experience fighting them would go a long way, allowing them to avoid suffering losses in future battles.

Edgeless retreated 30 meters, avoiding Blood Devil’s attacks. He then set his eyes on the other Silver Wings and rushed toward them.

Charge!

「Stop him!」Blood Devil shouted. Two Warriors immediately charged toward Edgeless.

Edgeless suddenly came to a halt mid-charge. The two Warriors trying to intercept him were going too fast. There couldn’t possibly adapt to this sudden change in speed, as their momentum carried them flying past him. He accelerated again and shot off in another direction like an arrow.

Blood Devil was shocked by the high overall specs of these Masters. He was particularly amazed by Black Heaven. He was capable of increasing everyone’s strength several times over. With his heals and blessings backing them up, an ordinary Level 130 player would only be slightly weaker than an equal level Silver Wing, meaning they could take on a Silver Wing two-on-one. He was also impossible to catch, blinking everywhere on the battlefield.

As Edgeless was about to charge out of the encirclement, Ashen One came dashing over towards Black Heaven.

“Black Heaven, watch out for those twoThieves!” Ashen One anxiously cried out, his gaze a bit shifty-eyed.

Black Heaven locked onto the two drow Thieves in the vicinity. His lips curved into a sneer. There was no way those two could pose a threat to him.

One drow Thief came dashing over from the flank.

“I’ll cover you!” Ashen One dashed forward.

Black Heaven prepared to retreat. Something felt very off about this situation. Ashen One wasn’t dashing towards the enemy Thief but towards him instead. Both startled and furious, he was about to blink away when he discovered he couldn’t move. The enemy Thief had locked him down with a skill.

Smothering Strike!

Ashen One stabbed his dagger toward the back of Black Heaven’s head.

There wasn’t enough time. Ashen One was already right on top of him. To meet with this kind of situation, Black Heaven couldn’t do anything to defend himself. BANG! He was stunned.

The Asskickers United players were shocked by this development. They never expected Ashen One to turn on them.

“ASHEN ONE, YOU BASTARD!” Hapless Frog erupted with rage.

“Quickly, save Black Heaven!”

...

The players from Asskickers United wanted to turn around and rescue Black Heaven, but the Blood Reaver Corps suddenly intensified their assault, instantly killing 13 of them. Their defensive line collapsed completely.

Ashen One and the two drow Thieves let loose, chaining their crowd control skills as they bursted Black Heaven’s health down to zero.

“Kill!” The morale of players from the Blood Reaver Corps soared. The battle had been going so slowly up until now solely because Asskickers United had a powerful Archbishop like Black Heaven. With him gone, their strength fell by more than 30%.

Asskickers United was being ovewhelmed bit by bit. Their casualties quickly climbed up higher and higher.

“Everyone, withdraw!” Tyrannical ordered.

Everyone quickly scattered in retreat.

Ashen One had a smug smile on his face. His contribution today was great. Even though he no longer had a place in Asskickers United, he took comfort in all the rewards and benefits the Century Financial Group had promised him. Seeing his former guildmates retreating in defeat, he felt a slight pang of guilt in his heart. But it couldn’t drown his good mood. He felt incredibly pleased with himself. His position in the guild had gradually fallen to the point no one paid him much attention anymore. Even though they didn’t treat him any different from before, he still couldn’t help but feel a sense of mockery in their eyes. So, when the Century Financial Group approached him, he didn’t hesitate to agree to Cao Xu’s terms.

Hapless Frog was just about to retreat with everyone else, when he happened to catch a glimpse of the smug smile on Ashen One’s face. His anger got the better of him. Flipping his dagger into a reverse grip, he disappeared into stealth.

「Frog, don’t be rash! Let’s retreat!」Tyrannical shouted. However, his dissuasion came too late.

A black ball of light shot up into the sky, illuminating the ground below and revealing Hapless Frog’s silhouette.

「He’s over there! Stop him!」Autumn Gust shouted.

Two Warriors charged over to block Hapless Frog.

Intercept!

There were more than 10 Blood Reaver Corps players closing in fast on Hapless Frog.
