Chapter 2068 - Zero Wing's Protection Storm Empire, Nether Mine
Chapter 2068 â Zero Wingâs Protection Storm Empire, Nether Mine
The Storm Empire was located in a mountainous region, and various ore veins were common around the empire. As a result, the empire had become famous as an ore producer on the Godâs Domain continent. Meanwhile, the empire possessed the Nether Mine on one of its borders, which bathed in Nether Energy all-year-round. Because Nether Energy increased Playerâs Stamina consumption several-fold, and the mountains around the mine were home to Level 70 and above Demonic Beasts, players were rarely interested in grinding and leveling in the area.
However, several thousand players had gathered near one of the creeks between the two mountains. The lowest-leveled of these players was Level 62, and all of them would be considered experts.
Only, these several thousand experts were members of two groups, one with fewer than 400 players, and the other with nearly three thousand.
If the Storm Empireâs players were present, theyâd be shocked. The smaller group consisted of Twilight Echoâs core members, the pillars that supported the Guild. Roughly 30 of them were top-ranked experts in the Storm Empire, and to ordinary players, they were unreachable. The strongest of these experts had to be Dark Wave, Twilight Echoâs current Guild Leader and a player that ranked among the top ten within his class.
Many powers operated in the Storm Empire, and its player population was even more frightening. Ranking among the top ten on oneâs class ranking list was an impressive feat Dark Wave could easily rank among the top 20 or 30 in any kingdomâs overall combat power ranking.
Such a group of experts shouldnât even fear an army of 10,000 elite players, but despite facing a legion of less than 3,000, Twilight Echoâs core members wore grim expressions. Their eyes even held traces of fear.
âTo think Nature Hall would send even you, Vice Guild Leader Owl, to greet us, your Guild must think highly of us,â Dark Wave commented to the robust, bear-like man carrying two Epic ranked one-handed axes, fear flashing in his eyes.
Owl Life had only been an ordinary expert, but after joining Godâs Domain, he had repeatedly challenged the gameâs experts, growing stronger at a ridiculous rate. In the end, he had grown from an unknown player into one of the Storm Empireâs famous experts. He then caught Nature Hallâs attention, and the Guild recruited him. After joining Nature Hall, Owl Lifeâs development speed skyrocketed, and he quickly became one of the Guildâs capable generals.
When the super-first-rate Guild, Nine-star Family had operated in the Storm Empire, Owl Life had fought and defeated an army of its peak experts. He had even single-handedly killed five peak experts while leading a 5,000-man team to capture one of the super-first-rate Guildâs towns. That battle had shaken the empire and made Owl Life famous. Eventually, Owl Life had become one of Nature Hallâs Vice Guild Leaders.
Although Dark Wave ranked among the top ten in his own class within the empire, Owl Life ranked among the top ten in the overall rankings. While the difference might not seem major, it was like the difference between a candle flame and a roaring bonfire.
If Owl Life wanted to, he could kill every Twilight Echo expert present.
âGuild Leader Dark Wave, I assume you know Nature Hallâs stance on this since Iâve made the trip here. You people from Twilight Echo should stop deluding yourselves,â Owl Life said with a commanding tone, smiling at Dark Wave.
âTwilight Echo has already conceded every high-resource location available. We have even moved to this remote map to grind. We already intend to give up on developing in the Storm Empire. What more do you people want?â Dark Wave said as he tightened his grip on his saber, his expression darkening in frustration.
âThe Guild Leader sent me to knock some sense into you,â Owl Life said, chuckling. âEither submit or we will remove you from Godâs Domain permanently. There is no third option. Donât think that we will let you continue to develop just because youâve fled to this remote location.â
Dark Waveâs frown deepened.
Nobody couldâve expected the competition between the various powers would become so intense after the Auction Arenaâs activation. To strengthen its hold on the Storm Empire, Nature Hall had begun an all-out war against the empireâs powers, eradicating any that opposed it
âGuild Leader, why donât we just fight them?â
âThatâs right! If we have to go down, weâll take them with us!â
Twilight Echoâs experts prepared themselves for a desperate battle in response to Nature Hallâs determination to drive them into a corner.
âYou want to suffer mutual destruction? Do you really think that youâre capable of that?â Owl Life could not help but laugh when he heard Twilight Echoâs members.
Owl Lifeâs words incensed Twilight Echoâs members further. Only Dark Wave remained silent He had nothing to offer in rebuttal. His silence wasnât due to a lack of courage, but because Owl Life spoke the truth.
No one in the Guild had a better idea than he of how powerful the players who ranked among the top ten on the empireâs overall combat power rankings were. It was no exaggeration to consider these players humanoid monsters.
âWe donât have any other choice! Once the battle begins, Iâll try to pin down Owl Life for as long as I can! Everyone else, split up and run!â Dark Wave said. He then turned to Aqua Rose, who stood beside him, and said, âAqua, youâve seen it for yourself now. Your return canât solve this matter. You need to try to escape this. Donât let Twilight Echo ruin your future.â
As Aqua Roseâs fourth uncle, he was grateful that his niece had returned to help the familyâs Guild. Unfortunately, she couldnât change anything. After seeing how Nature Hall treated Twilight Echo, he knew that if any other superpower interfered, Nature Hall would make his Guild suffer for it.
Dark Wave knew that Zero Wing, Aqua Roseâs Guild, had been developing quite well recently and was now better off than Twilight Echo. Helping Twilight Echo wasnât worth Aqua Rose losing her opportunity in Zero Wing.
Aqua Rose bowed her head and gritted her teeth in frustration. She had never expected Nature Hall to be so intent on cornering Twilight Echo. If she hadnât returned most of her weapons and equipment to Zero Wingâs Guild Warehouse before leaving, she might have been able to fight Owl Life and allow more of Twilight Echoâs members to escape.
âYou want to flee? Are you even strong enough for that?â Owl Life ridiculed, sneering at the serious expressions on Twilight Echoâs members.
However, just before a fight broke out, 1,000 players ran into the valley. An elegant girl in beautiful mage robes, looking like a fairy, led the force, and many of the players in the valley couldnât help but stare.
Among the 1,000 new arrivals, the lowest-leveled player was 63, while most were Level 64. The weakest piece of equipment these players wore was Level 60 Secret-Silver rank. Many of these players even wore Level 60 Fine-Gold and Dark-Gold Equipment. Both Nature Hall and Twilight Echoâs members watched these newcomers with envy.
However, the most noticeable aspect of these players was their sharp auras. They clearly werenât ordinary experts.

âWho are you? Canât you see that Nature Hall is busy here? If you donât want any trouble, leave immediately!â Owl Life warned the approaching 1,000-man legion.
Normally, he wouldâve already commanded his subordinates to eliminate any intruders, but this 1,000-man legion clearly wasnât a normal force. Even his players would suffer if they attacked these new arrivals without care.
âUs? Weâre from Zero Wing,â Violet Cloud said with a faint smile.
âZero Wing? Isnât that a Guild from Star-Moon Kingdom?â Owl Life faintly recalled such a Guild, and from what he could remember, Zero Wing had been developing excellently recently. He then asked, âWhy have you come here?â
âWe have orders from our Guild Leader to inform Nature Hall that Twilight Echo is under Zero Wingâs protection,â Violet Cloud calmly replied.
