Chapter 2088 â Suppressing Enemies with One Move
As the official competition began, Zero Wingâs spectating members paled.
The Auction Arenaâs competition shouldâve been a free-for-all between the various participating superpowers, but now, almost every player targeted Zero Wing.
These superpowers moved as if they had already made an agreement.
âHow can this be?â Melody, who watched the competition through a Magic Mirror, was utterly devastated as she watched the various powersâ experts work together against Zero Wingâs members.
Dealing with several superpowers in this competition was one thing. After all, the Auction Arena had five independent battlefields, and players would be randomly distributed across them. Combined, these hostile superpowers only had around 1,000 members in total, and after being split between five battlefields, their numbers thinned. Locating Zero Wingâs members across such a large map wouldnât be easy with so few players.
Moreover, victory in the Auction Arena didnât depend on the number of kills one had. Players simply needed to contest for the energy crystals that would appear.
As long as Zero Wing avoided confrontation with these several superpowers and focused on securing energy crystals, it definitely had hope of securing White River Cityâs Auction House.
However, that hope was dashed if those superpowers worked togetherâŚ
While the various powers might not have as many participating members as the various superpowers, when combined, they easily outnumbered the more powerful guilds by three or four times. Even if the battlefields were quite large, locating Zero Wingâs members wouldnât be a challenge if all of these powers cooperated.
âI told you long ago that the various superpowers in Godâs Domain are not as simple as you. Zero Wing has severely underestimated its enemies since the very beginning, as well. Zero Wing doesnât have the slightest chance of winning this competition,â the Half-elf man said calmly. âThis competition is simply Zero Wingâs execution.â
Rather than military strength, the various superpowersâ influence over lesser Guilds was truly frightening.
The various participating powers understood that they would reach greater heights instantly if they could curry favor with a superpower. This was also why the various powers had become jealous when they had learned that two superpowers backed Zero Wing. Normally, trying to gain a superpowerâs support wasnât easy, but Zero Wing had presented the perfect opportunity to do just that.
While the Half-elf man expressed his opinion, Sky View and the dozen or so experts from other powers on Battlefield No. 4 closed in on the beautiful woman wearing a six-winged emblem.
The Magic Mirrors along the cityâs business district displayed the scene clearly.
âHuh? Isnât that beauty Graceful Moon, the former Firecloud Fox adventurer teamâs vice commander?â an expert from the Black Dragon Empire asked, recognizing the woman on the Magic Mirror immediately.
âSheâs Graceful Moon? I had heard that she used to be quite strong, only slightly off from becoming one of the top 100 Summoners in the Black Dragon Empire. Many first-rate Guilds had tried to recruit her. I had never thought that she would join Zero Wing.â
âBut sheâs not very lucky. A group of enemies spotted her right off the bat Sheâll likely be the first person to disqualify from the competition,â a Level 63 male Ranger said, sighing as he gazed at Graceful Moonâs beauty.
âSheâs not just unlucky; sheâs extremely unlucky. Setting aside Sky View, one of Sin Realmâs newly-minted ten great experts, the man and woman beside him are exceptional experts,â a Level 64 Guardian Knight commented. âThat glamorous woman is Elegant Insanity, one of Holy Reincarnationâs rising geniuses. Iâve heard that sheâs the second-ranked Assassin in her Guild. If not for her lack of achievements, she wouldâve ranked on the Godâs Domain Experts List long ago.
âAs for that stalwart, silver-armored man, heâs Howling Earth, one of the Bloodbath Familyâs top four Berserkers. He also has the hidden class, Bloodrage Warrior. The lower his HP gets, the greater his combat power becomes. He previously defeated two experts from the Godâs Domain Experts List.
âThose two working together would be enough to trouble a peak expert. Include the other powersâ experts, even a peak expert would have to flee.â
Everyone around the Level 64 Guardian Knight gasped in shock.
Even a superpowerâs peak experts would have to flee if they encountered such a force without support, not to mention Graceful Moon, who hadnât even ranked among the top 100 of her class in the Black Dragon Empire.
When the spectating crowd discussed Graceful Moonâs opponents, Sky View and his companions surrounded her.
âDie!â Sky View shouted as the surrounding Mana surged to him, increasing the intensity of his aura. He felt like a humanoid Great Lord. He then launched the Tier 2 Curse, Violent Flame Spears at Graceful Moon, sending 28 fiery spears toward the woman from multiple directions.
Howling Earth also shouted, and his muscles bulged as he leaped up with his giant war hammer raised. He swung his weapon down toward Graceful Moon like a mountain descending on the female Summoner.
In contrast, Elegant Insanity vanished, waiting patiently for an opportunity to land a fatal blow.
The three experts cooperated as if they had fought together for many years. Their attacksâ timing was perfect, leaving Graceful Moon no room to dodge.
As the war hammer and flame spears flew toward the Level 65 SummonerâŚ
Graceful Moon, who had stood motionless, finally made her move. She raised Fallen Language, her Epic staff, and summoned a Level 70, Great Lord ranked Steel-armed Ape. At the same time, three Level 70 Lord ranked Rock Guardians appeared around her.
The Rock Guardians were Elemental Creatures, so their innate Magic Resistance was quite high. The three Rock Guardians served as an impenetrable wall, stopping every incoming flame spear.
The Sted-armed Ape stood three meters tall and was covered in golden magic circuits, which had been tattooed across its body. With arms thicker than its legs, the Steel-armed Ape swung at the descending war hammer.
Boom!
With the sound of an explosion, Howling Earth was thrown back. When he landed, he discovered that both of his arms had numbed. The Steel-armed Apeâs Strength definitely surpassed that of ordinary Great Lords.
However, while Howling Earth had flown through the air, a black figure had appeared beside Graceful Moon. This figure was none other than Elegant Insanity. The snow-white dagger in her right hand silently slid toward Graceful Moonâs throat like a cunning snake.
Since Graceful Moon had just finished casting a Spell and her physique as a Summoner wasnât formidable, she had no defensive options to protect herself from Elegant Insanityâs swift, silent attack.
Just as everyone expected to see the Assassinâs attack landâŚ
A gigantic, stone palm appeared above Elegant Insanityâs head, descending on the female Assassin like a falling mountain. She had no choice but to abandon her attack and evade.
However, as Elegant Insanity tried to dodge the Rock Guardianâs attack, the remaining two Rock Guardians attacked the Assassinâs blind spots as if they had prepared for this moment. Caught off guard, Elegant Insanity couldnât dodge or block any of the incoming attacks.
âDamn it!â Elegant Insanity frowned. She immediately activated Wind Steps, using the brief moment of invulnerability to survive the attacks.

Peng! Peng!
With two muffled sounds, Elegant Insanity was thrown like a cannonball, only stopping after she crashed into a large tree. Although she didnât take any damage, a trace of fear flashed in her eyes when she looked at Graceful Moon.
Against a coordinated attack from three powerful experts like herself, Sky View, and Howling Earth, even a peak expert would have to use a Lifesaving Skill or face impending death. However, these three were actually at a disadvantage against Graceful MoonâŚ
The spectating players outside of the arena gaped in shock as they watched the events unfold. The Black Dragon Empireâs experts, who were familiar with the female Summoner, were particularly stunned.
Was this female Summoner the same Graceful Moon they knew?
