Chapter 863 - Beginning Ac (1/2)

The players from Angel Corps latched onto the faintest hope, their number advantage, only to be met with cruel reality.

Blood curdling cries rang out as a one-sided massacre took place in the air.

「What’s going on? Do you need backup?」

「We encountered Nirvana Flame! Stay far away! Don’t come!」Skyscraper shouted anxiously.

「What’s your situation?」

「Quickly, reply!」

A Seawind Mistbird spewed out a black fog, which quickly spread out into the surroundings, creating a smoke screen that greatly reduced visibility.

「Boss, I can’t see anything!」Undying Scoundrel cried out.

「Be careful guys. Don’t accidentally hurt our own!」

Eyes of Truth!

Nie Yan locked onto several fleeing flying mounts and pounced after them.

The battle in the sky lasted for 10 minutes before the smokescreen finally dissipated. Only the players from Asskickers United remained.

“What’s the battle report?” Nie Yan asked, his eyes on a distant place. Several black dots were flying farther and farther away.

“We killed 36 enemy flying mounts. The rest ran away. Zero casualties on our side.”

“If it weren’t for that smoke screen, none of them would’ve escaped!”

“What a shame!”

Undying Scoundrel, Lustboy, and several others were annoyed. Given their strength, they could easily wipe out the enemy.

“Anyone recognize that flying mount with the fog skill? That smoke screen covered a pretty large area,” Smoke Stub asked.

“It’s a Seawind Mistbird. Our guild has them too. They’re not much in direct combat, but with their supportive abilities they can be quite effective in the right team. The smokescreen, for example, can cover up to a 300-meter wide area,” Undying Scoundrel replied.

“Let’s watch out the next time we meet one,” Nie Yan replied. Most flying mounts had their own unique skills. It was best to be wary of them.

“Let’s go down and collect the Life Cores. Don’t let others snatch it away from us!”

The team members descended to the ground to collect the spoils of battle.

Nie Yan tossed a Darkness Life Core from his bag to the Darkwing Dragon. CRUNCH! CRUNCH! CRUNCH! It happily swallowed the Life Core.

Looking at the Darkwing Dragon’s status page, it had only just reached Rank 8, still a far cry from Rank 9. These Darkness Life Cores were like green peas, far from satisfying.

Experience told Nie Yan that feeding Dragon Cores to his Darkwing Dragon right now wouldn’t have any effect. He would keep feeding it Darkness Life Cores until it reached the peak of Rank 8, then he would feed it Dragon Cores!

Nie Yan tossed another Darkness Life Core to the Darkwing Dragon.

“Are all the Life Cores collected?”

“Yep!”

“If there are any surplus Darkness Life Cores, give them to me,” Nie Yan said. The Darkwing Dragon practically had a bottomless stomach. Where most flying mounts required up to two weeks to digest a couple of Life Cores, it could eat them to no end.

“Boss, what are we going to do next?”

“We split up and clear the air space around Okoron of any enemy flying mounts!” Nie Yan declared. Since battle could break out at any moment, it was important to take control of the skies.

“Understood! Let’s get to work!”

“We’ll split into pairs. Yao Yao, you come with me,” Nie Yan said. All of the guild’s other flying mounts were fighting on the frontline. So, it was up to them to secure Okoron’s air space.

After splitting up into pairs, Nie Yan glanced over at an anxious looking Bladelight. “What’s the matter? Something wrong?”

“None of our forces have discovered Angel Corps’ main aerial force yet, and we only encountered these small fry near Okoron. Don’t you find it strange?” Bladelight asked.

Nie Yan chuckled. “I can understand why you’re worried, but this is Okoron, our home territory. If anything happens, we’ll just retreat within the range of the city’s anti-air defenses.”

“I’m just afraid we’ll meet some problems since our forces are spread so thin,” Bladelight said.
