Chapter 902 - Wrath of the Water God (1/2)

The smell of gunpowder was thick in the World’s End Bar. Soaring Angel had riled up the players from Asskickers United with his provocations. However, none of them acted on it. Natural Fiend and Tyrannical reported the situation to Nie Yan, who reminded them not to lay a hand on Soaring Angel.

The consequences were severe for anyone who started a fight in the World’s End Bar. Soaring Angel had come here only to exploit this rule, trying to bait the players from Asskickers United into attacking him. Of course, they wouldn’t just walk right into his trap.

These players were all elites of Asskickers United. They naturally knew how to restrain themselves.

Soaring Angel continued spewing out insults. Even though the players from Asskickers United were enraged, they feigned ignorance to his presence and chatted amongst themselves.

「These guys have patience. I’ll give them that. What do we do, Boss? Continue with the plan?」Evil Monarch asked.

Soaring Angel pondered for a moment before shaking his head.「Forget it, let’s leave.」

「Just like that?」Evil Monarch sounded somewhat reluctant.

Before coming to the World’s End Bar, Soaring Angel and the other two had agreed on a plan of action. In case their provocations wouldn’t do the trick, there was still a spy they planted among the 900 elites of Asskickers United. The plan was to have them rush out and attack Soaring Angel first, implicating the 19 other players in their team. That would allow Soaring Angel and the others to retaliate freely, triggering an all-out battle in the World’s End Bar. One could imagine the consequences.

However, when it was time to carry out the plan, Soaring Angel hesitated. He had spent quite a lot of effort into helping this spy climb up the ranks of Asskickers United. He wasn’t sure if exposing them was worth it for a bar fight. This was his sole spy among Asskickers United’s elite expedition team! He couldn’t just lose them like that!

Soaring Angel weighed his options. Perhaps it would be a waste to use the spy. After all, if Natural Fiend and the others didn’t fall for the bait, it would be the same as him wasting a chicken to obtain a grain of rice.

After considering the matter deeply, Soaring Angel decided to abandon the plan.

「We’re leaving!」Soaring Angel said.

Evil Monarch and Stone Splitter couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed. They had already thrown out the line, only to reel it back in prematurely. However, they quietly accepted it.

“Hey, you bunch of trash. Pass on this message to your boss for me. If he dares to show himself in an hour from now, he should forget about leaving alive!” Stone Splitter said in an overbearing tone.

Natural Fiend and Tyrannical coldly chuckled.

“Big talk from someone who got one-shotted by our boss!” Natural Fiend said.

Soaring Angel left the bar with the other two. He threw one more hesitant glance at the shabby entrance of the World’s End Bar.

“Boss, let’s go back,” Evil Monarch said.

“Station some Thieves around here. If some idiot with a death wish steps out of there alone, kill them. If they come out together, leave them be,” Soaring Angel said.

“Yes sir!” Stone Splitter nodded.

A group of 20 Thieves quickly arrived at the World’s End Bar. They lured outside, ready to pounce at any time.

With the enemy gone for now, the World’s End Bar finally settled down. The infuriated players from Asskickers United were like dormant volcanoes.

“Why hasn’t the boss come back yet!?”

“Damn! The forums are filled with taunts from Angel Corps. I really want to teach them a lesson. Show them who the real trash is!” a player gritted his teeth after browsing the web.

Even though they wished for nothing more than to go at it with the players from Angel Corps, they obediently stayed inside the World’s End Bar, not going anywhere.

...

Back in the shrine, Nie Yan’s group of 30 gradually chipped away at Fallen Angel Brufut’s health. About 20 minutes later, his health finally fell below 30%. He went berserk.

Brufut’s roars shook the entire shrine as web-like cracks spread across the floor.

“Kalenna, you deluded follower of the light! I, Brufut, curse you to eternal damnation! May the Demon God shroud you in eternal darkness!” Brufut shouted. An ominous, dark energy fell over Kalenna.

“Ahhh!” Small patches of darkness appeared on Kalenna’s snow-white wings and started slowly spreading.

Nie Yan glanced at Kalenna’s status window. His face paled. He quickly turned to the others and said, “We have to hurry up and kill Brufut quickly, or else we’ll lose this chance. Kalenna was hit with a Dark Ruin curse. If we don’t kill Brufut within 15 minutes, she’ll die.”

Everyone’s heart trembled. Kalenna was the only reason they could endure Brufut’s berserk attacks for so long. If she were to die, a wipe would be inevitable, let alone the fact that her death was permanent. Without her, who knew how long it would take until they were strong enough to face Brufut again? Defeat was not an option.
