Chapter 977: Going Separate Ways
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“F*ck me!” “What is this?”
Seeing the odd weather phenomenon, everyone was stumped… Was this tearing space magic a move of Quan Zhen Sect?
It was not that everyone was ignorant, it was just that the way the Fantasy Goblin made his entry was too exaggerated… By this point in time, it was the first time players saw such a cool way of entry.
Other than Twilight City’s players and the players from the few main cities nearby, no one else saw the Fantasy Goblin before.
Although yesterday, Thorn City triggered the Fantasy Goblin BOSS, it was near the end so only very few people witnessed the scene.
However, very quickly, everyone reacted.
“It’s a BOSS! A BOSS has appeared! It’s actually a BOSS!”
Although the Fantasy Goblin’s entry was impressive, he was only level 50 and was exposed by a [Probing] skill.
Fearless added oil to the fire by saying, “Yes, this is a BOSS who can drop capes for different jobs!”
“Drop capes?” Hearing what Fearless said, everyone got greedy.
They could not even get a fragment, much less a cape… Regardless of whether Fearless’ words were true, this Fantasy Goblin was real.
Any random Fantasy Goblin could drop capes and fragments. Since this one made such a grand entrance, it was possible he could drop capes, or at least more things than those small monsters.
Instantly, everyone looked at the BOSS and ignored Quan Zhen Sect.
Just then, suddenly a ray of white light emerged from the crowd and soon after, a scream could be heard, “F*ck, who backstabbed me? Are you trying to keep the BOSS for yourself?”
At the same time, clouds of white light also emerged from other spots in the crowd, sending similar angry voices.
“F*ck, be careful of the person beside you!”
Hearing the commotion happening in the vicinity, all the players in the crowd began to fear, panickingly looking around, then forming a defence formation by standing back-to-back with their comrades.
In several tens of seconds, everyone was split back into their teams. The original tight surrounding of Quan Zhen Sect saw several loopholes.
Well, whenever there was a BOSS, all talk about morals and values were just rubbish. These strangers beside them might backstab them anytime… So now, they could only trust their friends from their team.
…
Seeing how all the players were going their separate ways, Quan Zhen Sect’s group chat was also exceptionally bustling.
“Haha, Frost, why is your acting so exaggerated?” Darknorth Fisher commented on Frost Blade’s scream.
Frost Blade explained, “It’s not exaggerated; I just wanted to laugh…”
“Useless ones! Next time, let me do it!” Ming Du, Vainglory and the rest wanted to give it a try too.
Fearless smiled and asked Shady Glow who was beside him, “So?”
“… You win!” Shady Glow sighed and gave Fearless a thumbs up.
Based on the number of people, Quan Zhen Sect’s side had way fewer of them and no matter how capable they were, they would still be helpless against hundreds of opponents. However, Fearless saw though those people’s weakness – disunity.
So long as there were people around, there would be interactions. Even players from the same guild had conflicts on a daily basis, what’s more players from different main cities and guilds.
There might have been a lot more chasers but they were not familiar with one another. Hence, it was not possible for them to get to know one another in one day and become united.
Fearless made use of their only weakness to mess with his opponent’s minds then caused them to have disagreements, making them distrust one another before using the BOSS reward as his final move. With gains in the way, these guys who were not united from the beginning would naturally become selfish…
After some prying apart, the players’ alliance completely fell apart.
Shady Glow was completely helpless against Fearless. With such a strong opponent, any normal person would not be able to handle the pressure and surrender but Fearless did not surrender. Instead, he caught onto his opponent’s weakness and executed the most useful retaliation, successfully bringing his opponent down…
Regardless of whether it was exceptional guts or refined experienced of a veteran, Shady Glow could not ever dream of possessing these.
“Hehe, alright, enough of chatting, we need to go. Before we leave, let’s send you guys on your last journey!” Fearless laughed and in a snap of his fingers, Quan Zhen Sect’s players came forth. In a few moves, they wiped out Shady Glow’s team. Since the rest were not paying attention to Fearless’ side, they quietly escaped the crowd then sneaked into Mario’s nearby store to hide.
…
By then, Team Red Flame’s players were already in the store. Looking at the BOSS outside, Bai Yutang said with surprise, “Heh, I didn’t expect this BOSS to appear after all the small monsters were killed… Does that mean that last night…”
“Yes!” Fearless nodded said, “We did it.”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, I knew it… Old Bull, you guys must have earned quite a bit.” Rolling Mario looked at Quan Zhen Sect in envy while asking Wang Yu.
“Not too bad!” Wang Yu said, “Not as much as in Twilight City…”
“Then should we go out to snatch now?” Mo Xiaobei asked.
This Fantasy Goblin BOSS did not have much HP. if they just watched the BOSS die in the hands of others, it would such a sin.
“No need!” Fearless said, “This BOSS is very interesting, we need to find a safe place to hide.”
“That’s right! We’ll just watch.” Quan Zhen Sect’s players who were experienced in killing Fantasy Goblins heard what Fearless said and sly smiles appeared on their faces.
“Really?” Team Red Flame’s players half-trustingly looked outside and saw countless players swarming over on the streets.
Those people who surrounded Quan Zhen Sect already blocked the road’s entrance as by then, the players from Thorn City already found out that the BOSS was just like the one yesterday in Twilight City so they quickly came over to take advantage of it.
As the number of players on the streets increased, the situation became more and more chaotic.
Thorn City was not like Twilight City where they had a strong enough guild like Quan Zhen Sect to hold down the fort. Hence, players had no discipline. When it came to a BOSS on the street, the principle was finders keepers. Anyone who passed by would take a thing or two from him.
Under the attack of so many people, in just a few minutes, the Fantasy Goblin’s second form appeared.
In an instance, the weather changed radically and the surroundings too. The entire Thorn City turned into a scene of doomsday and the players on the street became green Fantasy Goblins.
“F*ck! Is this dude a God-grade BOSS??”
Seeing what happened, Team Red Flame’s players asked in confusion.
Ming Du laughed, “What God! All players from different teams will think that others look like this.””What?”
Everyone heard him and looked out the store again and indeed, all the monsters on the street began fighting one another.
