Chapter 895 - Fallen Angel Brufu (1/2)
The northern district of the City of Sin, The 1,000-strong aerial force of Angel Corps had gathered here. All kinds of large flying mounts could be seen circling in the sky.
The declaration of challenge Soaring Angel issued created a huge uproar on the forums. The relationship between the two guilds was already like fire and ice. Their fierce conflicts affected every player across the continent. With millions of troops on both sides, one could imagine the scope of this war. Both sides were preparing for the next big skirmish, to be fought in the skies above the City of Sin. Once fighting broke out, the entire map would be swept over with the flames of war!
Many unaffiliated players were setting out for the City of Sin. They wanted to witness the battle in person.
“Has there been any movements on the side of Asskickers United?” Soaring Angel asked.
“We just received word that Nirvana Flame, Bladelight, and their other Masters suddenly disappeared. We have no idea where they went,” a Mage replied.
Soaring Angel’s heart sank. He couldn’t help but wonder what Nie Yan’s group was planning.「All members, stay vigilant. If anything happens, report it immediately!」He rubbed his chin for a moment. “Apart from those you mentioned, where is the rest of Asskickers United’s troops?”
“They’ve holed up in the World’s End Bar.”
“World’s End Bar!? Tsk, those damn cowards!” Soaring Angel cursed. No matter how arrogant he was, he didn’t dare to stir up trouble there. Even though Asskickers United had accepted the declaration of challenge, the time limit was in another three hours. If they didn’t show up before then, it would count as them conceding. He could only wait for the time being.
“Boss, I’m certain they are up to something,” Evil Monarch said. He had an uneasy feeling.
“I think so too. Hm, do you think they’re trying to challenge Fallen Angel Brufut and obtain the Dragon King Fruit?” Stone Splitter asked.
“Not likely. And even if they are, Brufut is no pushover. If they try, even with their top elites, they’ll be in for a rude awakening!” Soaring Angel said. He’d experienced the might of Fallen Angel Brufut himself, and it left a deep impression in his heart.
“We should investigate anyway,” Evil Monarch suggested. If Asskickers United really was attempting that dungeon, they’d have to prepare for the worst.
Soaring Angel thought for a moment before nodding. “You’re right. I’ll send someone to investigate right now.”
A Thief from Angel Corps set out for the special dungeon. After a while, he reported back to Soaring Angel that no one had entered.
“Just where did they go off to...?” Soaring Angel muttered.
What Soaring Angel didn’t know was that Nie Yan and the others were still making their preparations to tackle Fallen Angel Brufut. Nie Yan had the Starry Night Potion Shop deliver 13 different kinds of potions—390 altogether—and distributed them. Apart from this, he also had a large amount of Tinkerer items sent over.
A sharpened blade was much better for carrying out a task. These preparations were absolutely necessary and could save the team from a wipe.
About 10 minutes after Soaring Angel’s scout left, Nie Yan and the others snuck into the dungeon. They ascended a tall flight of stairs and passed through a long, winding corridor before at an enormous shrine hovering in the air.
The shrine was over 100 meters high with towering pillars that pierced into the sky.
“This is the place,” Bladelight said.
“Damn, that shrine is huge!” Undying Scoundrel gasped in amazement. He had to tilt his head all the way back to see the top of it.
Nie Yan approached the shrine and looked inside. The interior was spacious, as the outside suggested, and the floor was crafted out of some unknown stone which glistened like the stars in the night sky. A thin membrane of light surrounded the entrance of the shrine, separating it from the outside world.
“Fallen Angel Brufut is inside. Before he comes out himself, he’ll first send out 10 waves of monsters. They’re also pretty difficult to deal with. So, stay vigilant,” Bladelight reminded. He turned to Nie Yan. “We’re ready whenever you are.”
Nie Yan walked up to the pedestal in front of the shrine entrance. Sitting on top of it was a crystal orb about the size of a basketball. He placed his palm on it and started chanting while slowly rotating it clockwise.
Click, click, click! Some sort of mechanism activated in the pedestal.
Nie Yan glanced over his shoulder and said, “Let’s go inside.”
Everyone entered the shrine.
At the center of the shrine was a wide open space about 400 meters in diameter. When they entered, a giant silhouette floated down from the ceiling. It was a five-meter tall angel clad in silver armour. From his appearance alone, one might mistake him for a human, if not for the two pairs of black wings growing from his back. He looked like a man in his fifties.
“That’s him! Fallen Angel Brufut!”
This four winged angel was their target!
At this moment, Battle Angel Kalenna awoke from her nap and glared at Brufut with scorn burning in her eyes.
“Brufut! You wretched traitor! If it weren’t for you, Heaven’s army would not have fallen against the dragon race!” Battle Angel Kalenna brandished her staff.
