Chapter 795 - Declaring War (1/2)

Nie Yan started channelling a Return Scroll. With a flash of light, he appeared on the streets of Orc King City and then met up with Tang Yao and the others.

“What did you guys lose?” Nie Yan asked.

“Sun, Mistaken Smile, and Street Vulture all lost a piece of Sub Legendary equipment. I lost a piece of Level 130 Legendary-grade equipment,” Smoke Stub replied. These losses would normally be quite heavy. However, compared to Demon Drakuru’s Tower Shield, they were nothing.

Nie Yan nodded. No one had lost anything significant. Thankfully, King of the World had handed those five chapters from the Book of Order back to him before they set out for Barthe. So, they didn’t drop when King of the World fell into the lava.

Nie Yan transferred over Demon Drakuru’s Tower Shield to Bladelight.

“What’s your defense at now?” Nie Yan asked.

“It’s over 36,000, and my block rate is at 83%,” Bladelight said excitedly after looking at his stats.

Everyone glanced at each other in shock. Those words Smoke Stub previously said about not being able to get through Bladelight’s defense weren’t exaggerated at all. Among all classes, Warriors had the highest defense, and among their sub-classes, Fighters undoubtedly made for the best tanks because they wielded shields. For an ordinary Warrior to have a block rate of 10% was already quite impressive. A Fighter holding a shield would generally have a block rate between 30%–50%. To have a block rate of 83% was simply unheard of. In layman’s terms, Bladelight would block four out of five incoming physical attacks, and the one that slipped through would still have to get past his ridiculous 36,000 defense.

Among everyone here, only Nie Yan and the Magisters could break through Bladelight’s defense.

Bladelight was in high spirits. With his new shield, he was undoubtedly the number one tank in all of Conviction.

Nie Yan took out the three Shattered Divinities from his bag and placed them in his palms. “I obtained another Shattered Divinity from Drakuru. That makes three in total. When you guys are levelling, questing, or running dungeons, pay attention to see if you can find any more information about them.”

Bladelight and the others already knew Nie Yan had Shattered Divinities in his possession. But they were still somewhat surprised another one had dropped.

“Alright, will do.” Smoke Stub nodded.

Nie Yan glanced at his character window. He was already Level 149. It was about time he gathered the remaining two pieces of the Tyrant Abak Set. By then, he would be able to equip the set.

“Let’s return to the guild headquarters. We’ll form an expedition team and set out for the Lava Titan,” Nie Yan said. They were definitely strong enough to deal with the Lava Titan now. The biggest hurdle with this Lord was to have a tank capable of withstanding its attacks. With Drakuru’s Tower Shield, Bladelight was more than qualified for this task.

“Alright!” Everyone was quite excited.

The Lava Titan held a special place in the hearts of the players in the Viridian Empire as an unrivalled existence. The absolute slaughter that took place in the Kiln Fire Woods was still deeply engraved in their minds. If Asskickers United were to defeat the Lava Titan, one could imagine the reaction.

While Nie Yan’s team was busy discussing about how to deal with the Lava Titan, Guo Huai sent word that the Blood Reaver Corps had taken action again. This time, they had appeared in the vicinity of Calore and were clashing fiercely with an expedition team from Asskickers United.

This was the first time in a week the Blood Reaver Corps showed themselves. Nie Yan thought they had already left. He didn’t think they would show up again.

“The Blood Reaver Corps are back. Let’s head to Calore first,” Nie Yan said.

“Those punks! They dare to come to Calore!? Watch us beat them to a pulp!” Undying Scoundrel exclaimed while cracking his knuckles.

“What did they come to Calore for?”

“Let’s hurry over right away!”

The 21 Masters headed to one of the transfer areas in Orc King City. A short while later, they arrived in Calore.

「Guo Huai, where are they right now?」Nie Yan asked.

「South of Calore, east of the Kroa Wetlands.」Guo Huai sent over some coordinates.

If they were slow, the Blood Reaver Corps would probably have a chance to escape. So after leaving the city, Nie Yan and the others summoned their flying mounts and hurried to the scene of the battle.

A group of 21 flying mounts soared through the sky. The ground beneath flitted past. Several minutes later, they arrived east of the Kroa Wetlands. The sounds of battle already entered their ears. Nie Yan stood on top of the Darkwing Dragon’s head. He looked down at chaotic battle. There were at least 600 players fighting there.

“Nie Yan, over there! We’ll head down first!” Bladelight said.

Suddenly, Bladelight, Smoke Stub, and Lei Su leaped down from their flying mounts.

“Those of you with a Featherfall ability follow me down! Everyone else, hurry down!” Nie Yan said. He also leaped down toward the battle. The Blood Reaver Corps were unlike any enemy they had faced before. 60 Silver Wings weren’t going to be easy to deal with.

Nie Yan and the others rapidly descended toward the ground.

Down on the battlefield. Blood Devil sent three Warriors flying with a Dark Whirlwind. He then slashed out with a crescent-shaped sword beam and killed one of the Warriors.
