Chapter 1 N/A

Having taken so many attacks head-on, Nie Yan only lost over 20,000 health. With a few leaps, he widened the distance between himself and the players from Angel Corps.

"Chase him, don't let him get away!"

The members of Angel Corps quickly advanced, leaping swiftly across the nearby rooftops, with Angelic Dominance hot on his heels.

"All Angel Corps players in the City of Sin, listen up! Mad Rogue Nie Yan's coordinates are 285, 2830. At all costs, block him!" Angelic Dominance roared in the team chat.

"Yes!" The response from the Angel Corps group chat was like thunder.

Approximately three thousand Angel Corps players were in the City of Sin. Upon receiving Angelic Dominance's message, they hurried towards Nie Yan's location, forming a large encirclement around him. It was estimated that they would be able to surround Nie Yan before long.

These people were regulars in the City of Sin, and their equipment was quite good, making them extremely formidable in combat. What was even more deadly was that many of them possessed life-saving or underhanded items.

If he were surrounded, even Nie Yan would probably have to risk his life to fight.

Guo Huai was aware of the commotion in the City of Sin. He anxiously asked in the group chat, "Blade Light, where are you guys?"

"Don't worry, we'll definitely make it in time!" Brilliant Blade Light said, estimating that they should be arriving soon.

Brilliant Blade Light and over a thousand elites from Nirvana Guild had exited a dungeon in the World Boundary and were heading to the City of Sin.

"I heard that Century Financial Group has also mobilized over two thousand people. You need to be careful," Guo Huai cautioned worriedly.

"Century Financial Group is coming too? This is getting lively," Brilliant Blade Light frowned slightly.

"I've also sent Fox and Fa Lan with their men," Guo Huai said.

Once the two sides clashed, it would inevitably be a massive brawl. Both sides would fight to the death, making numbers crucial.

Reinforcements from guilds like the Holy Roman Empire were on their way. The City of Sin was like a fierce whirlpool, pulling in all the top elites from the two behemoths, with 80% of the Light Faction's top professional players present.

Nie Yan sprinted through the alleys. He glanced up and saw over twenty flying mounts relentlessly following him in the sky. From the nearby alleys, Angel Corps players surged like a tide.

Nie Yan retreated a short distance, chanted a spell, and summoned the Gold Dragon. The Gold Dragon's massive body blocked the alley like a wall.

Summon Paladin Levis!

Paladin Levis stood behind the Gold Dragon, ready to heal it at any moment.

"It's Mad Rogue Nie Yan's Gold Dragon!"

"Everyone, be careful!"

As soon as they spoke, the Gold Dragon roared and spat out a Dragon Breath, which exploded in the middle of the group of players with a loud bang, sending more than a dozen players flying.

Spells bombarded the Gold Dragon, but it remained unmoved, emitting low growls as it swatted away the approaching Angel Corps warriors one by one.

The Gold Dragon relieved Nie Yan of any worries from behind, but in front, there was nothing to stop the hundreds of Angel Corps players who charged forward, unleashing a dense rain of spells.

Summon Doom Guard!

Three towering Doom Guards with black bone wings appeared in front of Nie Yan. They brandished their long swords, which were engulfed in black flames. With each swing, several warriors were sent flying.

Nie Yan stood in the center of the alley, with large pets guarding both sides. The Angel Corps players were surprisingly helpless against him.

The Angel Corps players who charged forward were driven back by the Gold Dragon and the Doom Guards.

"Damn it, these pets are too strong! We can't get close to Mad Rogue Nie Yan at all!"

Just as the Angel Corps players were at their wits' end, Angelic Dominance and the others tracked them down.

Angelic Dominance frowned upon seeing the Gold Dragon and the Doom Guards. He knew about the Gold Dragon and was very familiar with its combat power, but he didn't know when Mad Rogue Nie Yan had acquired more pets, and three of them at that. Watching these giant skeletons with huge bone wings on their backs and black flaming longswords in their hands, Angelic Dominance's heart sank, unsure of the Doom Guards' combat prowess.

The Gold Dragon was in a state of frenzy, beating back the Angel Corps players. It had already killed more than thirty people, all of whom were Angel Corps elites, causing Angelic Dominance great pain. He drew an arrow and shot it at the Gold Dragon.

Boom, boom, boom! The arrows hit the Gold Dragon, and the powerful shockwaves from the explosions caused it to retreat.

Damage numbers of twenty to thirty thousand floated above the Gold Dragon's head.

What terrifying damage!

Nie Yan quickly had Paladin Levis cast healing spells on the Gold Dragon.

Three Archmages stood on the roof of a high tower above Nie Yan, occupying the vertices of an equilateral triangle. They were chanting spells, presumably preparing a large-scale magic.

Sensing the intensely surging magical elements above, Nie Yan frowned. Were these guys trying to cast a forbidden spell?

If a forbidden spell was unleashed here, not only him, but thousands of Angel Corps players nearby would be doomed!

It was possible that Angelic Dominance would rather sacrifice thousands of players nearby than let Nie Yan escape!

The situation suddenly became urgent. He had to retreat quickly. It would be troublesome if the three Archmages from Angel Corps unleashed a forbidden spell, but the Angel Corps players on both sides were blocking his path, making it impossible to kill them all.

Nie Yan had no way to leave!

"Whoever kills Mad Rogue Nie Yan will be rewarded with a set of Sub Legendary equipment, plus an additional 500,000 gold coins!" Angelic Dominance gritted his teeth and said in the team chat, going all out.

Hearing Angelic Dominance's words, the Angel Corps players' passion was instantly ignited. A set of Sub Legendary equipment plus 500,000 gold coins was a huge temptation for anyone!

Under the dense barrage of Angelic Dominance's arrows, the Gold Dragon retreated, unable to continue attacking. Several warriors in full golden armor stepped forward.

"Knock it away!"

Shield Bash!

Shield Bash!

Heavy shields collided with the Gold Dragon, creating dull explosions.

"Hunters, attack Mad Rogue Nie Yan!"

Arrows rained down on Nie Yan like locusts.

Nie Yan used Shadow Dance to dodge some of them, enduring six or seven. These arrows did very little damage, only one to two thousand each. He drank a High-Grade Instant Health Potion, restoring his health to full.

The Gold Dragon was entangled by Angelic Dominance and unable to attack properly. Fortunately, Paladin Levis was casting healing spells, or it would have been killed long ago. As for the Doom Guards, they were facing so many players, including many top-tier professionals, that they were starting to struggle.

What worried Nie Yan the most were the three Archmages above who were chanting spells. He was ready to cast Divine Judgement at any moment. If he confirmed that it was an offensive forbidden spell, he would have to use Divine Judgement to withstand it.

Dark clouds gathered overhead, forming swirling currents, accompanied by rumbling thunder.

The dark clouds gradually descended, and the air was filled with a heavy pressure that made it difficult to breathe.

A circular light barrier appeared around them, encompassing a three-hundred-yard radius, like a cage, trapping all living beings inside.

Seeing the situation around him, Nie Yan's expression changed drastically. It was Thunderstorm!

Nie Yan's knowledge of this spell was limited to a video he had seen in his past life. The power of Thunderstorm was terrifying. Once used on an area, all living beings within would be unable to escape. Lightning pillars would obliterate everything inside, turning them to dust. As long as the three Archmages who initiated the spell remained alive and the formation was not destroyed, the lightning pillars would continue to strike!

It seemed that Angel Corps had put a lot of thought into dealing with him, even bringing out Thunderstorm.

Since it was the Thunderstorm skill, the duration of the Divine Judgement skill wouldn't be enough!

He had to leave quickly. As Nie Yan was thinking this, a white light flashed, and a thick lightning pillar struck down from the sky.

This place was full of Angel Corps players. Angelic Dominance was really capable of anything. To kill him, he was willing to sacrifice so many people nearby!

With a boom, the lightning pillar exploded, sending out arcs of electricity. The lightning pillar struck a Doom Guard, blasting it into dust and causing it to disappear. At the same time, six Angel Corps players standing near the Doom Guard were instantly killed by the flying arcs of electricity.

The Angel Corps players were in an uproar.

Angelic Dominance roared in the group chat, "All members who die here today will receive triple compensation! Kill Mad Rogue Nie Yan!"

Hearing Angelic Dominance's words, the morale of the Angel Corps members soared. Even if they died, they wouldn't lose out, so they all gave it their all, fearlessly fighting even with thunderbolts crashing down on their heads.

As soon as the lightning pillar finished striking, two more thick lightning pillars fell from the sky.

Fortunately, these two lightning pillars struck Angel Corps players and didn't hit Nie Yan. The two lightning pillars exploded among the Angel Corps players, killing at least thirty people.

These lightning pillars were falling randomly!

Just as the two lightning pillars subsided, four more lightning pillars fell, killing Paladin Levis and two Doom Guards.

Nie Yan recalled the video from his past life. After Thunderstorm was triggered, the first attack was one lightning pillar, the second attack was two, the third attack was four, and the fourth attack was sixteen. If it continued like this, the raging storm would destroy everything before long.

Sixteen lightning pillars fell, one of which was heading towards Nie Yan. He quickly used Divine Judgement.

With a boom, the lightning pillar struck Nie Yan, sending out arcs of electricity.

Fortunately, he didn't have to fear any magical effects after casting Divine Judgement!

The duration of Divine Judgement was limited! Nie Yan looked up, realizing he had to kill the three Archmages first. Only by killing them would Thunderstorm stop! Just then, he suddenly saw several shadows flash past behind the three Archmages, and his heart skipped a beat. It was them!
