Chapter 1654: Shocking All Sides
Chapter 1654 â Shocking All Sides
As Falling Fire collapsed, silence descended on Zero Wing and Heavenâs Burialâs battlefield.
âThe commander actually died?â
âDo they also have a Tier 2 magical class expert?â
Blackwaterâs members gaped at Aqua Rose, who was responsible for Falling Fireâs death.
Falling Fire was both one of the scant few Tier 2 players and a top-ranked expert within Blackwater. Normally, the Elementalist killed them instantly when they sparred with him. However, they had just watched this man die after one hit. No matter how they looked at the situation, it was utterly unbelievable.
The tier suppression Tier 2 players had over Tier 1 players was much greater than that of Tier 1 players over Tier 0 players. Moreover, as an Elementalist, Falling Fire had a few Passive Skills that increased his Magic Resistances, making him much tougher against Spells.
Yet, Aqua Rose had annihilated Falling Fire with a single Spell. There were only two possibilities to explain the outcome. The first was that Aqua Rose had used a Berserk Skill followed by a Tier 1 Curse. The other possibility was that Aqua Rose was also a Tier 2 player.
When players activated a Berserk Skill, some kind of special effect would change their bodies. Only, not all Berserk Skills generated visible indicators. Regardless, when a player activated a Berserk Skill, the intensity of their aura would increase drastically, informing others that the player had activated such a Skill.
However, Aqua Rose displayed neither phenomena, so it was obvious that she hadnât activated a Berserk Skill. There was also no way theyâd miss the resulting changes. They all had keen senses as experts, and activating a Berserk Skill was akin to turning on a light in a dark room.
When Blackwaterâs members considered the possibility that Zero Wing also had a Tier 2 magical class, they couldnât help but shudder.
Tier 2 MTs were only powerful when tanking monsters; their DPS was lacking. However, it was a different story for Tier 2 magical classes. Magical classes already wielded extremely high DPS even at Tier 1, and they had more AOEs than other classes. After their promotion to Tier 2, magical classes attacks would grow even stronger. It wouldnât be an exaggeration to call Tier 2 magical classes mobile Defense Turrets.
When solely comparing combat capabilities, Tier 2 magical classes were stronger than another class by far.
While everyone struggled with their shock over Falling Fireâs death, Aqua Rose used the opportunity to cast the Tier 2 Spell, Aqua Precinct.
With the female Cursemancer at its center, a water domain manifested, covering a 70-yard radius. Any of Heavenâs Burial and Blackwater members caught within Aqua Precinct soon noticed the rapid drop in their Basic Attributes. In the blink of an eye, their Basic Attributes had fallen to 70% of their original values. Following which, twelve, eight-meter-long water serpents rose from the pool of water, releasing enraged bellows that echoed throughout the tower.
Every water serpent possessed the Strength to rival a Great Lord of the same level. Under Aqua Roseâs control, the water serpents jumped at the players from Heavenâs Burial and Blackwater.
Aqua Precinct wasnât like normal AOEs and was categorized as a Domain Skill. When using it to attack, Aqua Rose wouldnât harm her allies as normal AOE Spells would as long as she controlled the Spell properly.
Tier 1 experts would have a very difficult time coping with a Great Lordâs attacks. Only Tier 1 MTs of the same level could block such attacks without receiving much damage. However, unlike normal Great Lords, which had monotonous attack patterns, the water serpents were flexible since Aqua Rose controlled them. Any MT that failed to block the serpentsâ attacks instantly lost over 20,000 HP. Since Heavenâs Burial and Blackwaterâs MTs had lost 30% of their Basic Attributes, the water serpents only needed two hits to finish off a Level 50 MT.
In the short moment since Aqua Rose had cast Aqua Precinct, she had killed four Level 50 MTs. The rear line healers had never even had a chance to heal their alliesâŠ
âMonster! Sheâs a monster!â
Heavenâs Burialâs and Blackwaterâs experts stared at the female Cursemancer in utter horror.
âRun! Thereâs a monster!â
With Zero Wingâs Magic Light Team and Conqueror Parties gaining the upper hand, followed by Aqua Roseâs sudden massacre, Heavenâs Burialâs and Blackwaterâs members panicked. Rather than a slow, organized retreat, they turned and fled like cowards.
Not only would they lose a level if they died, but theyâd also lose a piece of equipment. To expert players like them, the loss was unbearably painful. Hence, now that they knew that they were no match for Zero Wing, they wouldnât continue to throw themselves into the jaws of death. Furthermore, their commanders, Lei Jingyang and Falling Fire, had already died.
âBig Sis Aqua, you couldnât hold back a little? Weâve barely killed any enemies, yet youâve already scared them all away. How are we supposed to earn extra income now?â Shadow Sword and Zero Wingâs other Tier 2 players sighed in frustration as they watched Heavenâs Burial and Blackwaterâs members flee.
They had previously held back because they were worried about scaring off their prey.
It had actually taken quite a bit restraint to drag this battle out, yet their prey had run in fear of them before they could reap the benefits and slaughter them all. This frustrated Shadow Sword and the others.
âMy bad. Iâll be more careful next time,â Aqua Rose said, sending her companions an apologetic glance. She hadnât expected Heavenâs Burial and Blackwaterâs players to be so cowardly. Thus far, the battle between their Guilds had been fairly even. In fact, Zero Wing wouldnât get off easily either if Heavenâs Burial and Blackwater continued the fight. Yet, rather than stand their ground, the two Guildsâ members had turned and fled.
âThis will work, too. Just kill as many as you can, but be careful to stay near the team and in the teleportation zone,â Shi Feng commanded. He was not particularly surprised by their enemiesâ response.
Although Heavenâs Burial and Blackwaterâs experts were no weaklings, the series of mental blows had thrown them into a panic.
Fortunately, Heavenâs Burial and Blackwaterâs reaction was a good thing for Zero Wing. At the very least, Zero Wing could now secure more entry slots for the Primordial Divine Ruin.
Shadow Sword, Blackie, Violet Cloud, Rampant Blade, Alluring Summer, and Zero Wingâs other Tier 2 players began to put all they had into their battles.
With the overwhelming strength of Tier 2 classes, Shadow Sword and the others charged into Heavenâs Burial and Blackwaterâs ranks like lions charging into a flock of sheep. The Guildâs magical class players, such as Blackie, Violet Cloud, and Alluring Summer, dominated the battlefield like humanoid Defense Turrets. Without anyone to hinder their progress, they each killed over a dozen players with every attack.
This only encouraged Zero Wingâs other members to fight with more fervor.
By the time Heavenâs Burial and Blackwaterâs members left the teleportation zone, they had littered their path with corpses and equipment. The two Guilds had lost nearly 2,000 experts since the battle had begun. The outcome was startling.
If these casualties were only ordinary or elite players, the loss wouldnât be as painful, but the players Zero Wingâs members had killed were all experts. These two Guilds had lost just as many experts as there were in an ordinary, first-rate Guild.
âAmazing! So, this is Zero Wingâs strength?â
âDidnât someone say that Zero Wing was no match for Heavenâs Burial and Blackwater?â
âHeavenâs Burial sure is unlucky. Not only is it in danger of losing Ancient Rock City, but entering the Primordial Divine Ruin will also be a major challenge.â
The various major powers had been paying very close attention to the battle between Zero Wing and Heavenâs Burial, and the superpowers present were no exception. However, none of them had ever imagined that this outcome was possible. Even Purple Jade, who had a high opinion of Zero Wing, had assumed that the Guild would fight its enemies to a draw at best.

Yet, Zero Wing had actually chased Heavenâs Burial and Blackwater out of the teleportation zone while suffering minimal losses. This had completely exceeded her expectations.
As for the various Guilds and adventurer teams, which had planned to enter the teleportation zone near Zero Wing, shrank back in fear after seeing the Guildâs prowess in battle.
âCommander, are we still going to charge in?â a Level 50 Shield Warrior clad in black armor could not help but ask his commander.
âCharge in? Are you suicidal? Weâre retreating! Weâll go in from another side!â
