Chapter 1 Aftermath

After the dark flying blades dissipated into streaks of light, the name of the victor appeared in the sky above the battle arena.

Aqua Rose!

The entire audience fell silent at this name.

Aqua Rose's performance had been simply too astonishing.

Aside from her summoned creatures, her final move, Mind Mist, was overwhelmingly powerful, rendering it impossible to resist.

"No wonder Night Blade sent Aqua Rose to fight the first match. So she had such a trump card. The people from Glorious Lions probably never imagined it would turn out this way." Qing Huang shuddered at the thought of Mind Mist's power.

Thousand Blades had activated a life-saving skill to resist, but Mind Mist was an unavoidable technique, only allowing for evasion.

Flying blades came from all directions. Even for her, dodging twenty or thirty attacks would be the limit. She couldn't possibly evade them all. Her only recourse was Blink to escape. But Thousand Blades was a ranger and didn't have the ability to teleport or an invincibility skill. Once this move was unleashed, who could stop it?

"It seems our understanding of Zero Wing is less than we thought," Feng Qianyu said, a sly smile playing on her lips as she watched Aqua Rose.

A one-hit kill!

Such a thing didn't happen easily in the Dark Arena. Moreover, Aqua Rose hadn't broken through to that domain. Since it wasn't a matter of combat technique, the only possibility was weapons and equipment.

Night Blade had previously demonstrated an overwhelming advantage in attributes, and now Aqua Rose was doing the same.

Glorious Lions had Super War Wolf backing them. When it came to weapons and equipment, probably no one in the entire God's Domain could compare. Yet Aqua Rose of the Zero Wing Guild could. It was unbelievable.

This made Feng Qianyu even more curious about the Zero Wing Guild.

And the upcoming matches were the challenges Asura's team had to face.

The competition was best-of-five. Glorious Lions had that monster on their team, so they were 100% guaranteed to win one match. If Asura couldn't win two of the remaining three matches, they would undoubtedly lose.

However, in this match, everyone had thoroughly understood the strength of Asura's team and, even more so, the power of Aqua Rose.

Instant kill!

When facing Aqua Rose in the future, this was a problem that had to be considered.

For a time, Aqua Rose became the focus of attention of the major powers, and they all began to thoroughly investigate her past.

"She used to be an honorary elder of Twilight Echo. Who would have thought she'd be kicked out by Twilight Echo with nothing? That Twilight Echo is really something."

"Hahaha, Twilight Echo is really generous. Others can't wait to recruit top experts from all over the place, but Twilight Echo sends people away. They're really talented."

"No wonder Twilight Echo hasn't achieved anything in so many years. So that's how it is. Now that Aqua Rose has joined a small guild like Zero Wing, maybe we'll have a chance to poach her."

The major powers in the arena couldn't help but laugh at Twilight Echo, causing the faces of the Twilight Echo executives who had come to watch to turn ugly. They knew that Aqua Rose had good talent and could manage things, but they never expected her to reach this point.

Meanwhile, in the Glorious Lions' resting area inside the battle arena, the Glorious Lions' members didn't care, as if the first match had nothing to do with the team's victory or defeat. Instead, they were uninterested.

"This Asura team is really interesting. They're a little stronger than I thought. That Aqua Rose is indeed the vice-guild leader of the Zero Wing Guild. Thousand Blades really got a bargain for nothing." The blue-armored swordsman, Blood Sun, said regretfully. As for Thousand Blades' defeat, he didn't take it seriously at all.

Because they couldn't possibly lose here.

Thousand Blades' combat power was only in the middle ranks of the team. Their strongest combat power hadn't even been used yet, but Asura's team had already used their strongest combat power.

The outcome of the subsequent matches was self-evident.

"Next, it depends on what Asura's team is planning, although it doesn't matter what they do." The assassin, Long Rainbow, yawned.

...

In the first match, Glorious Lions sent someone out first. In the second match, it was Asura's team's turn to send someone out first. Shi Feng didn't want to delay, so for the second match, a two-person battle, he directly sent Fire Dance and Violet Cloud.

"What's going on? Someone actually sent a priest to participate in the competition!"

"Asura's team isn't planning to give up on this match, are they?"

"No, that Fire Dance seems to be the leader of Zero Wing's main force."

Everyone was puzzled by the members sent out by Asura's team. It wasn't that priests couldn't be used, but they usually weren't used in two-person battles. If the opponent focused on dealing with the priest, the battle would quickly turn into a two-on-one. And the assassin class wasn't like guardian knights and shield warriors who could hold players back.

"What is Night Blade thinking? Is he planning to give up the match?" Feng Qianyu couldn't help but frown.

She knew that Zero Wing had three experts: Aqua Rose, Fire Dance, and Violet Cloud. Sending out two experts at once seemed safe, but if these two were defeated, Asura's team would be completely out of the game.

The best way would be to use them as a surprise in the later stages, just like Aqua Rose.

But Night Blade directly gave up this opportunity.

"This Night Blade is really interesting. His desire to win is so strong that he wants to win two matches directly and then let himself fight for the last glimmer of hope? He's not taking us Glorious Lions seriously at all." Bei Chen Tianlang glanced at Shi Feng and then ordered, "Long Rainbow, you and Blood Sun go together. It's time to let this Asura team leader know how powerful Glorious Lions is."

Both Blood Sun and Long Rainbow were among the top three in combat skill in the team besides him.

Especially Blood Sun. In order to let Glorious Lions win the right to host the competition, the War Wolf Guild had specially given Blood Sun an epic weapon. With Blood Sun's own strength, plus the epic weapon, his combat power was now second only to him.

Victory could be said to be easy. Blood Sun alone was enough to easily kill the two of them.

"Don't worry, Captain," the assassin Long Rainbow said confidently as he stood up abruptly.

"Long Rainbow, wait a moment. It's really boring to fight one person. Let me take care of both of them." The swordsman Blood Sun looked at Long Rainbow and said, "How about I give you a bottle of Life Fruit Wine after it's over?"

Life Fruit Wine was a special product of the Fire Dragon Empire, known as a delicacy. Although the recipe was easy to obtain, the materials for making it were extremely rare and could only be obtained by chance. In addition to being delicious, it also had a certain chance of enhancing the player's physique, making it more precious than a Dark-Gold equipment.

"Really?" Long Rainbow couldn't help but be tempted when he heard about the Life Fruit Wine.

This was Blood Sun's treasure. Even the captain had only managed to get one bottle from Blood Sun with great difficulty, and he usually didn't even let them have a sip.

"Of course," Blood Sun said definitely.

He wanted to try out the precious sword he had just obtained, and he didn't want Long Rainbow to interfere.

"Okay, I promise you, but if you can't hold on, I'll have to step in for the sake of winning the match. Of course, you have to give me the Life Fruit Wine too," Long Rainbow said after thinking about it.

"No problem," the swordsman Blood Sun grinned.
