Chapter 121 The Silent Volcano

The atmosphere inside the Doomsday Tavern was thick with tension. Angel Wings' words had ignited the fury of the Niuren Tribe players, but they all restrained themselves. Essence Devil and Wu Dao had just reported to Nie Yan, who had given a strict order: no one was to lay a hand on Angel Wings!

Initiating a fight inside the Doomsday Tavern had severe consequences, resulting in heavy penalties. Angel Wings had come to the Doomsday Tavern to provoke the Niuren Tribe players; they couldn't simply fall for his trap.

These players were all elite members of the Niuren Tribe, so they naturally knew where to draw the line.

Regardless of how eloquent Angel Wings was, the Niuren Tribe players remained unmoved, despite their anger.

"These guys are really patient. Angel, what do we do? Should we proceed with the plan?" Tian Xie asked.

Angel Wings was silent for a moment, then shook his head. "Forget it, let's go."

"Then the original plan is off?" Tian Xie said, a hint of reluctance in his voice.

Before coming, Angel Wings and the others had agreed on a plan. If their attempt to provoke them failed, one of the nine hundred-plus Niuren Tribe members, a spy for Angel Corp, would attack Angel Wings first, implicating a dozen members of his group. Angel Wings and the others could then retaliate in self-defense, killing some Niuren Tribe members and triggering a full-scale brawl in the Doomsday Tavern. Once the fight started, the consequences were unimaginable.

However, as the plan was about to be executed, Angel Wings hesitated. He had put a lot of effort into planting this spy within the Niuren Tribe, who had gradually climbed the ranks through battle achievements. Once the plan was implemented, the spy would be exposed. Angel Wings would then truly be in the dark, unable to gather any information about the Niuren Tribe's elite team's movements.

Was it worth sacrificing a meticulously placed spy? What if the Niuren Tribe didn't take the bait? Wouldn't it be a case of trying to steal a chicken only to lose the bait?

After deep consideration, Angel Wings ultimately abandoned the plan.

"Let's go!" Angel Wings said in a deep voice.

Hearing Angel Wings' words, Tian Xie and Lie Yan couldn't help but feel frustrated. They had drawn their bows, only to put them away again. However, they dared not voice any dissent to Angel Wings.

"You trash from the Niuren Tribe, tell Nie Yan that bastard, if he dares to ride a flying mount in the skies above the City of Sin, we'll make sure he never returns!" Lie Yan roared, his eyes wide like a furious brute.

Essence Devil and Wu Dao sneered.

"How arrogant!" Essence Devil snorted.

Angel Wings and his two companions turned and left the Doomsday Tavern.

Angel Wings glanced back at the dilapidated facade of the Doomsday Tavern.

"Angel, let's go back," Tian Xie said.

"Send some Thieves to guard this place. If any fools appear alone, kill them. If they come out together, then forget it," Angel Wings said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Lie Yan nodded.

Soon, more than twenty Thieves appeared in the vicinity, lurking outside the Doomsday Tavern, ready to attack at any moment.

After such a disturbance, the Doomsday Tavern finally returned to silence. The enraged elite players of the Niuren Tribe were like a volcano simmering in silence.

"Why hasn't Leader Nie Yan returned yet!"

"Damn, the forums are full of Angel Corp's嚣张 (xiāo zhāng, clamoring) voices. I really want to teach these bastards a lesson!" one Thief player said, gnashing his teeth as he browsed the official website.

Unfortunately, although they wanted to give the Angel Corp guys a good beating, they obediently stayed inside the Doomsday Tavern, unable to go anywhere.

***

Inside the Temple Center, the Fallen Angel Broster's health was gradually decreasing under the efforts of Nie Yan and the other thirty people. After about twenty minutes, Broster's health had dropped to nearly 30%. As his health approached 30%, Broster began to enter a state of frenzy.

The Fallen Angel Broster's roar caused the temple to shake violently, and cracks appeared on the ground.

"Damn Kalenna, in the name of Broster, I cast a curse upon you. The Demon God will devour everything, plunging you into endless darkness..." the Fallen Angel Broster roared, as a dark force descended upon the Guardian Angel Kalenna.

On the Guardian Angel Kalenna's pure white wings, like ink drops, black spots appeared one after another. These black spots slowly expanded.

Nie Yan glanced at the Guardian Angel Kalenna's status and his expression changed slightly. He said in a deep voice in the team chat, "We must kill Broster within fifteen minutes, or there will be no chance. The Guardian Angel Kalenna has been cursed with Dark Devour; if we can't kill the caster within fifteen minutes, the Guardian Angel Kalenna will die directly."

Hearing Nie Yan's words, everyone's hearts tightened. Why had they been able to withstand the Fallen Angel Broster's berserk attacks for so long? It was entirely due to the effectiveness of Nie Yan's Guardian Angel Kalenna. If the Guardian Angel Kalenna died, then their only fate would be annihilation. Once the Guardian Angel Kalenna died, it would be a permanent death, and they would not be able to deal with the Fallen Angel Broster again for the next few months. Therefore, this time, they could only win, not lose!

"Everyone, brace yourselves, give it your all. Even if only one of us is left after a wipe, we must kill Broster!"

The entire team's morale was instantly boosted, and everyone was ready to fight with all their might.

The Fallen Angel Broster roared and swept out a fierce sword aura with the greatsword in his hand.

"Dodge quickly!" Several Warriors dodged the attack.

A dazzling blade of light soared up, activating a War God Possession skill. A golden-armored giant god holding a giant shield appeared out of thin air behind him and blocked the Fallen Angel Broster's attack. The greatsword and the giant shield collided with a loud bang.

Broster's attack power had increased by at least 60% compared to when he wasn't berserk!

Dazzling Blade was sent flying by the shockwave, staggering back five or six steps after landing. When he regained his footing, he immediately charged forward.

If it were a Shield Warrior from any other guild, they would have probably been defeated long ago in the face of Broster's fierce attacks. Only Dazzling Blade remained as steady as a rock, becoming the most solid line of defense for the elite team.

Dazzling Blade roared, his whole body surrounded by lightning, which formed a giant shield, completely protecting him.

It was the Thunder Dragon Shield!

The Thunder Dragon earlier had given Nie Yan and the others quite a few good items. One of them included a level 150 Legendary Thunder Dragon Armor, with a defense of over 11,000, which was amazing and considered a very good piece of equipment. There were also two other items, including a level 150 Legendary Thunder Dragon Staff and level 150 Legendary Thunder Dragon Legguards.

The Thunder Dragon Armor went to Dazzling Blade, the Thunder Dragon Staff went to Undying Scoundrel, and the Thunder Dragon Legguards went to Shui Se Yan Tou. These three pieces of equipment greatly strengthened the team's combat power, especially the Thunder Dragon Armor, which greatly increased Dazzling Blade's defense and also came with a Thunder Dragon Shield skill. Otherwise, it would have been really difficult to withstand the berserk Fallen Angel Broster.

Nie Yan circled around to Broster's back, using Disconnecting Spine and other skills in succession. Tang Yao and the others unleashed dense magic attacks on Broster's body.

Although Nie Yan and the others had high damage output, Dazzling Blade used some kind of skill to steadily hold Broster's aggro.

The battle was still within control!

Angel Corp, Century Financial Group, and other guilds could only reduce Broster's health to below 30% at most, and they could not go any further. Next, any skill Broster used would be unpredictable, and they could only rely on their improvisation.

Broster's body was engulfed in scorching flames, which spread to the surroundings.

"Not good, it's a Sea of Fire!"

Almost at the moment Broster released the Sea of Fire, Dazzling Blade was immediately buffed with five skills that increased fire resistance. A wave of heat hit him, and over 20,000 points of burning damage floated above Dazzling Blade's head. His heart tightened, and he quickly took out a bottle of Expert-level Fire Resistance Potion and chugged it down.

Not only Dazzling Blade, but the other members also encountered danger. They all took out Fire Resistance Potions and chugged them down.

"Should I use the Godforged Body skill?" Dazzling Blade asked anxiously in the team chat. The Godforged Body skill was his only magic immunity skill, lasting for eighty seconds with a cooldown of two natural days.

"Don't use it yet!" Nie Yan frowned. Broster still had a lot of health left. If he used the Godforged Body now, it would be troublesome if an emergency situation arose later.

Broster turned into a flame giant. Wherever he walked, black flames burned fiercely and endlessly. The Mages quickly moved away to avoid the flames. The Warriors could still withstand the burning flames, but if the Mages were attacked by the flames, they would be finished. Their fragile defenses were not enough to resist these flames.

Roar! Broster roared and spewed out a thick pillar of fire, engulfing everything in its path.

Shi Li Hua Sha, Daitou Dage Qi Zai, and others were constantly using healing magic, barely managing to keep Dazzling Blade and the others from being killed by the flames.

"Nie Yan, our healing can't keep up. Broster's damage is too high!"

If the healing couldn't keep up, it was likely that the Warriors in front would be killed by the flames. If they lost the wall of people in front, the Mages would definitely die!

What to do?

"Desire, Mo Jiu, let's use the Water Domain together!" Undying Scoundrel said anxiously in the team chat.

Hearing Undying Scoundrel's words, Desire and Mo Jiu's eyes lit up. They found an open space, stood in an equilateral triangle, raised their staffs high, and ancient incantations echoed in the air above the temple for a long time. The magic elements fluctuated violently, and a huge vortex appeared in the sky above the temple, drawing water magic elements from tens of thousands of yards away frantically towards the temple.

A forbidden spell that could only be cast by three Archmages together - Water Domain!
