Southern Wilderness City.
As a beautiful coastal city, Southern Wilderness City has attracted the attention of numerous players from the very beginning. However, this very allure has also earned it another nickname—The City of Chaos!
The factions within Southern Wilderness City are as numerous as the stars in the sky, ranging from large guilds like the Kings and Owl Dragon to small mercenary groups formed by Casual Players. There are even super guilds like Divine Silence and War God Hall lurking nearby, making Southern Wilderness City a coveted prize for many.
Yet, no moment in the past can compare to the current hustle and bustle!
The streets and alleys, already crowded on ordinary days, are now filled with players everywhere. While most are solo players, there are also plenty of groups from various guilds wandering around, with many guild members promoting their guilds as they roam.
Near the city return point, the crowd is particularly dense...
As the only cross-Main City teleportation point in Southern Wilderness City, this location sees a constant influx of players arriving from other Main Cities. It is said that the cost for cross-Main City teleportation is as high as 100 gold coins per person, which has the game company grinning from ear to ear!
What is particularly Speechless is that various life profession players are taking advantage of this opportunity to advertise their products. The funniest sight is a player selling maps of Southern Wilderness City's district layout right next to the teleportation point, and even more amusingly, some players are actually buying them.
However...
Amidst the commotion, five players who have just emerged from the teleportation point quietly blend into the crowd.
At the forefront is a mage clad in what appears to be a plain robe, which does little to conceal the proud glint in his eyes. Following him are four other players whose identities clearly suggest they are not ordinary players... There’s something peculiar about this mage.
He carries no staff!
Indeed, as a mage, he astonishingly lacks a staff... Although he is in town, Zero Era allows for malicious PK even within city limits. In front of all the players equipped with weapons, his absence only makes him stand out even more.
"Generally speaking, there are two situations for not carrying a weapon..."
In a nearby corner, a young man dressed casually and holding a folding fan speaks calmly. Such casual attire is specially designed by the game company as decorative clothing; it has no additional attributes and serves merely for visual effect.
Beside him stand two other young men, both with stern expressions. Their features are sharp, especially their eyes—cold as ice, reminiscent of snow that hasn’t melted for a thousand years. Yet beneath this evident chill lies a sense of calmness and sharpness.
"First, there is the lack of suitable weapons; but judging by this person's stance, that seems impossible. Second, the weapon might be too conspicuous, or rather, it might be too powerful and eye-catching, something they wouldn't want others to see... Heh, in this case, it's quite likely for this person!"
"This person is..."
"The President of the Supreme Alliance, currently the top Mage in the server, the prime suspect for the holder of the Divine Artifact of the Heavenly Path—the Supreme Treasure!"
As they exchanged questions and answers, all they received was a light chuckle from the man with the folding fan. "Perhaps... it's time to remove that word 'suspect.'"
...
The Mist and Rain Auction House.
As the first Auction House in the server, the main building of Mist and Rain Auction House is quite grand, consisting of three floors. The interior space is much larger than it appears from the outside; after all, this is a game where appropriate virtual technology effects must exist.
The Auction House hall can accommodate up to one hundred thousand people and features a circular layout. The host's position is in a small square room suspended in the center of the hall... The walls of this room are all high-definition screens displaying the host's front view.
In addition, there are fifty luxurious private boxes set up on the second floor...
Next to the Auction House stands a building filled with combat elements, designed similarly to an ancient coliseum, with circular spectator stands and a flat arena... This is the first arena entirely built by players under Mist of Time.
Following the first Auction House event, the arena will also open to players...
Meanwhile, over two hundred miles away in Spirit Valley, Yi Tianchen is engaged in a fierce battle with a Demon Spirit Chief. Despite their back-and-forth struggle, Yi Tianchen ultimately gains the upper hand as his sharp sword slices through the Demon Spirit Chief's eyes.
Blindness for ten seconds!
With this negative status effect guaranteed, the once formidable Demon Spirit Chief immediately falters. Caught off guard by Yi Tianchen's attack, its health points rapidly deplete. Before even ten seconds of blindness pass, it collapses under Yi Tianchen's Hell Combo.
Moreover, it drops a piece of equipment...
With just one glance, Yi Tianchen can't help but feel deflated; this is an item that doesn't require identification and thus cannot be a part of the Spirit Demon Armor Set he has been eagerly hoping for.
But it was still a trophy!
Picking it up, he took a look at its attributes. Although it was just a piece of Dark Iron Equipment, it was worth a bit of money for repairs. Moreover, this seemed to be the first legitimate piece of equipment dropped by someone in Spirit Valley, which must have been frustrating for that person who still had 10 points of Luck Value!
"Ha—"
Taking a breath, the temperature around him continued to drop, and the mist thickened even more. The bushes in his line of sight were slowly diminishing... This made Yi Tianchen feel a renewed sense of anticipation, a fervent expectation for the Ultimate Boss in Spirit Valley.
"Roar—"
Suddenly, a chilling roar echoed, causing Yi Tianchen's heart to skip a beat...
"Ultimate Boss?"
Without a doubt, that thought surged into his mind. Yi Tianchen was certain that this roar could not have come from any of the small monsters encountered along the way. Since it wasn't from any small monster, it must be from some high-level creature!
Two o'clock direction, straight ahead...
Excitedly, Yi Tianchen dragged Dragon's Roar and began to sprint forward. However, the damned thick fog obscured his vision; visibility was barely twenty meters... It had to be said that this was an extremely unfavorable situation—limited visibility offered no advantages in combat.
"Hmm?"
Yi Tianchen suddenly halted. For some reason, an unsettling feeling rose within him, as if something was watching him...
"Ha—"
He froze momentarily; it was the sound of something slicing through the air... from the left!
He had been ambushed.
As this thought crossed his mind, although Yi Tianchen felt conflicted, he wasn't completely helpless. With no time to dodge, he instinctively raised his guard to minimize the damage. Dragon's Roar swung across fiercely, and a burst of dazzling sparks erupted.
A tall figure entered the field of vision...
Chapter 0267: A Violent Strike
"Ding"
System Notification: You have been attacked by the skill "Sword Qi Strike Lv-6" from Spirit Valley Lord Gatel, losing 11,052 points of Vitality!
...
"Blocked, 40%..."
"Ugh—" Yi Tianchen was momentarily stunned. This was real power! Blocking 40% of the attack damage still resulted in a loss of 11,052 points of Vitality. If he had taken the full brunt, it would have exceeded 16,000 damage—he was almost killed in one hit.
In shock, Yi Tianchen glanced over and understood.
Before him stood a human... but not quite a normal human. He towered over two meters tall, clad in silver metallic armor, with a face that bore an eerie green hue. Even his eyes glowed green, making him look quite unsettling.
In the hands of Spirit Valley Lord Gatel was a heavy sword... Yi Tianchen felt speechless. Every time he saw a heavy sword, he felt an inexplicable familiarity, completely ignoring the fact that this sharp weapon had nearly killed him in an instant just moments ago.
"Damn—"
With an exclamation, Yi Tianchen dared not delay any longer. He activated Savage Charge and instantly dashed away while simultaneously throwing out Identification Technique—
Spirit Valley Lord Gatel: Purple Gold Boss (Demon)
Level: 65
Attack: 4,500–6,800
Defense: 5,000
Vitality: 750,000/750,000
Description: Once a formidable warrior of the Human Empire, he inadvertently stumbled into Spirit Valley and fell victim to the deadly demon poison within. Instead of dying, he became frenzied and transformed into a bloodthirsty mutant demon with immense power.
Main Attack Method: Condenses sword qi to launch lethal attacks on single targets, with a high probability of ignoring 50% of the target's defense and repelling them.
Main Weak Points: Neck, Eyes
...
After glancing at the specific attributes of Spirit Valley Lord Gatel, Yi Tianchen felt a chill rush to his head, especially upon seeing the high probability of ignoring 50% of the target's defense. He was utterly shocked; it seemed that if that last attack had triggered...
"Damn it! This is way too strong!"
Yi Tianchen struggled to find better words to describe it, but the current situation was completely beyond his control. The overwhelming killing intent of Spirit Valley Lord Gatel had been provoked, and it had clearly turned into a battle where either the monster would die or he would perish.
"+10000!"
He pulled out a bottle of Seventh-Level Life Potion and downed it. For now, Yi Tianchen decided to adopt a more evasive tactic. Given that he hadn’t yet grasped the current situation at all, recklessly charging at Spirit Valley Lord Gatel for a bloody fight was clearly not what a smart person should do.
Moreover, the sword energy could inflict ranged damage!
This immediately reminded Yi Tianchen of Captain Mondanqi from Sharp Blade Camp. Although Spirit Valley Lord Gatel was merely a level 65 Purple Gold BOSS, the powerful aura it exuded was something no player could easily handle.
"Roar~"
After an angry roar, Spirit Valley Lord Gatel launched a deadly pursuit. Despite its large size, its speed was not to be underestimated. It leaped suddenly, covering two to three meters in one bound. If Yi Tianchen hadn’t taken a curved route to evade, he would have been struck directly by its sword.
And then there was the eleven-level difference...
Yi Tianchen gritted his teeth; this was a gap that couldn't be ignored! The effects of level suppression, combined with Spirit Valley Lord Gatel's already formidable lethality, clearly resulted in a combination that he couldn’t withstand. To win, he had to avoid its sharp edge.
Yet this guy, even without the Spirit Demon Armor Set, still had a full set of silver armor... Yi Tianchen paused at this thought. If it were wearing the complete Spirit Demon Armor Set right now, wouldn’t that last attack have completely obliterated him?
Hmm, I must run and first probe its capabilities...
With this mindset, Yi Tianchen unconsciously quickened his speed and continuously adjusted his movements based on Spirit Valley Lord Gatel's pursuit pattern. He weaved unpredictably through the bushes, effectively disrupting Gatel's chase.
Speed—sharp but seemingly only capable of relentless straight-line pursuit;
Agility—average, especially with significant room for improvement in maneuverability;
Attack Speed was incredibly fast, capable of landing a strike every 2 to 3 seconds. It was worth noting that the Spirit Valley Lord Gatel wielded a heavy Heavy Weapon, and to achieve such rapid attacks was indeed deserving of the term "swift."
Then there was the damage output—strong, undeniably strong.
After careful observation, Yi Tianchen could only draw a few conclusions. In terms of Speed, he was naturally outmatched. When it came to damage, it would be more straightforward to self-destruct than to compete. The only aspect he could exploit was the relatively lacking Agility of Spirit Valley Lord Gatel.
However...
How could he make use of it?
Simply relying on it would not yield results. Ultimately, he needed to use the nearby Bush as crucial points for ambush.
The formidable Spirit Valley Lord Gatel continued its relentless pursuit, charging through with reckless abandon. Wherever the heavy sword passed, destruction followed; some small Bush were flattened completely, turning the battlefield into a scene of devastation.
But specific Tactics quickly formed in Yi Tianchen's mind...
Without delay, all three passive skills activated. Gripping a bottle of Seventh-Level Life Potion, he activated Savage Charge, creating distance before suddenly turning around. With Dragon's Roar glowing with golden light in his hand, he dashed away as Spirit Valley Lord Gatel closed in.
Hundred Steps Flying Sword Lv-2!
Due to their opposing movements, Yi Tianchen's strike with the Hundred Steps Flying Sword was razor-sharp. Even though Spirit Valley Lord Gatel wore armor, it still tore open a gash. The broad blade of Dragon's Roar pierced through its chest, dealing impressive damage.
“-16352!”
Against a defense of 5000, such damage was made possible thanks to the 30% attack boost from Dragon's Roar for 300 seconds!
Immediately after retracting Dragon's Roar, Yi Tianchen swiftly darted through a patch of Bush, making a sharp turn just as Spirit Valley Lord Gatel charged straight toward him. He unleashed Unfolding, sending out a dark circle of energy while a green glow flowed down his arm...
As a unique lethal move, Yi Tianchen had developed the habit of accumulating the necessary 100 points of Necromantic Power for the Azure Soul Seal. He waited for the perfect moment to combine it with his most powerful attack skill to deliver devastating damage—like right now!
A sudden roar echoed through the air as a golden rainbow shot out, accompanied by the piercing scream of Spirit Valley Lord Gatel.
"Critical Hit, -100483!"
