Chapter 965 - The Mad Rogue’s Challenge (1/2)

Ordinary players couldn’t hope to control their pets as skillfully as Nie Yan. His control had reached perfection. In all of Conviction, perhaps there were only a few players that could match his level.

The Dark Demon Guard’s health was slowly being shaved away. Since it was too high, Nie Yan couldn’t see exactly how much it had.

The Dark Demon Guard was incredibly tanky. Nie Yan had no idea how long it would take to kill it.

However, Nie Yan wasn’t worried. There was plenty of time. He would continue chipping away at it until it was dead!

The Dark Demon Guard was finally thoroughly enraged. It swung out with its greataxe and sent Lil’ Gold flying. Just as it was about to take a step forward, the Violet Eye Dragon blocked its path.

BANG! The Violet Eye Dragon was also sent flying.

The Dark Demon Guard wanted to charge forward, only to have Lil’ Gold stagger back and block its path once more. It was completely helpless against its pestering.

Only a few bosses had Spirit Awe. Thankfully, the Dark Demon Guard wasn’t one of them, or this tactic wouldn’t work.

The Divine Eclipse Dragon wasn’t the only one dealing damage. Nie Yan went up and let loose with a flurry of attacks. Since the Dark Demon Guard’s aggro was completely focused on the Divine Eclipse Dragon, the damage he dealt wasn’t enough to cause its aggro to shift.

...

The competition in Judgement Valley was intensifying. Smoke Stub, Mistaken Smile, and Black Hell had lost one after another. Even though Plenty’s wins weren’t easy and he was forced to use almost all his strength every time, a loss was still a loss.

With Plenty winning three matches in a row, the players from Fallen Angel regained some of their morale and even broke out in cheers.

Plenty bitterly smiled. Even though he won three matches in a row, he wasn’t happy. After reaching this point, he had a good idea of Asskickers United’s strength. He wanted to use this competition to probe the enemy and gauge whether or not he should attack the Righteous Faction. He didn’t expect his meticulous plan to almost become a spectacle for Asskickers United to show off their might. Given the strength of their peak experts, if Fallen Angel were to attack the Righteous Faction, they would likely be inviting egg on their face. He started to hesitate on whether he should attack the Righteous Faction.

Either way, Plenty still had to see this competition through to the end, though the goal was different now. He had to defend Fallen Angel’s honour!

Asskickers United still had six people, Bladelight, Sun, King of the World, Lei Su, Lustboy, and Sparrow Hawk. It would be a tough task. Plenty didn’t have any more tricks up his sleeves, and many of his high rank skills were on long cooldowns.

Plenty got down from the stage and said to a Warrior below the stage, “Give me the equipment. I’m swapping sets!”

The Warrior respectfully gave Plenty a large pile of equipment. It was all Chaos gear, many of which had different supplementary skills. All of the best Dark Zealot equipment in Fallen Angel was here. Plenty picked out a few pieces and put them on.

After swapping into a new set of equipment, Plenty brought out his Scepter of the Dark Council. Wearing his new equipment, he stepped back into the ring.

Lustboy was already waiting there. Seeing Plenty take out the scepter, his eyes faintly trembled.

...

Nie Yan looked worriedly at the livestream. He didn’t expect Mistaken Smile and Black Hell to lose as well.

“Dammit!” Nie Yan felt himself getting restless. He guessed Plenty’s ambitions had grown after becoming the Chairman of the Dark Council, and his reappearance had only served to further drive Plenty’s ambitions. Fallen Angel’s reason for challenging Asskickers United was simple. It was to probe Asskickers United’s strength. He had no idea if Plenty would declare war after it concluded. Of course, Asskickers United was never afraid of a fight.

Nie Yan hoped the war between the two great factions could be pushed back as much as possible. He needed every second he could get to catch back up. When he recovered his position atop the leaderboards, whatever happened would at least be within his control.

Fallen Angel’s ambitions could not be allowed to grow any further. The only way for that was to crush Plenty head-on!

If Plenty lost in the next few battles, then that would be perfect. Nie Yan wondered if Bladelight, Sun, and the rest could complete this task.

Nie Yan estimated he only needed three more months to reach level 190. At that time, even if he were to face the Level 200+ Plenty, he could face him with confidence. Anything within a 20-level difference was under his control!

If Bladelight and the others could defeat Plenty, Nie Yan estimated Fallen Angel would throw away any and all plans of attacking the Righteous Faction in the near future.

Nie Yan understood worrying was useless. He could only put his all into defeating the Dark Demon Guard. What he didn’t know was that Plenty’s mind was already starting to change. Right now, his only goal was to defend Fallen Angel’s honour.

As time slowly passed, under the Divine Eclipse Dragon’s ruthless bombardment, the Dark Demon Guard’s health finally fell to 90%.

Nie Yan checked the time. It took about 20 minutes to shave away 10% of the Dark Demon Guard’s health, mostly thanks to the Divine Eclipse Dragon. Its damage was quite decent
