Chapter 44: Kingdom of Glory’s Rise?

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

In the real world, the bright crescent moon hung in the sky.

The cold wind blew the bits and pieces of dust and other things on the surface of the floor. Bright light could be seen from a window, expressing to the outside world its master’s restlessness.

Qiu Yuan’s hair was cast on her shoulders casually. While sitting cross-legged, her delicate little hand picked up a crystal-clear raisin from the side and put it into her mouth. Her room was full of all kinds of dolls; a pile at the corner and a pile on her bed. She likes sleeping with little McDull in her arms.

Without any image, she used her toe to tap the touchpad of her notebook. Qiu Yuan opened a few of the hotter posts on The New Age forum, looking through them with relish.

The handsome reporter Junior Mo was counted as one of the most famous reporters of the forum. The so-called reporters were people who dug up game news and information professionally, always at the forefront of information. They would expose a variety of new missions, new plots, gossips on so-and-so president had an affair with their so-and-so subordinate to the majority of players. They also had an alias called ‘Water Army 1 ‘

Every profession produced its own topmost masters.

A reporter with some fame could lead the public opinion, a strong reporter or team. Even the guilds did not dare to provoke them easily. Instead, they had to humbly please them.

With his handsome looks, Junior Mo had a figure no worse than the bodybuilder’s body. Of course, his keen news insight had been loved by countless gossip fangirls. Qiu Yuan also liked to take a look at his posts and latest selfies with a heart of burning curiosity for gossip.

“The new guild Kingdom of Glory with dominating progress, live video on clearing Castle Wood!”

“Castle Wood?” Qiu Yuan widened her eyes as Big Sis was very concerned about that dungeon. Even if she knew that the chance for her team to take the first clear was very small, despite the fact that Fu Sheng was leading the team, Qiu Yuan still did not have much confidence. However, there was still a trace of hope in her heart. Who didn’t want to take the first clear of Castle Wood?

Qiu Yuan quickly clicked into the post, and the video of the Kingdom of Glory clearing Galru was broadcasted live 360 degrees without a blind angle. It seemed that the glory of the dynasty had the determination to win or die trying. Even if it meant disclosing the skill attributes of Galru also did not matter! Why were they so confident?

Qiu Yuan took out a small notebook from under the bedside table and carefully stared at the movements in the video. At the same time, she quickly wrote down beautiful words one by one on her book…

——

“Foolish humans, my career is justice.” The dark robe worn was covered with blood stains, his face was hidden under the mask, and his pupils were like a werewolf. That was the ultimate Boss, Galru!

Arcane Mage Galru: Level 10 Overlord, Health Points 32,135/45,000

Galru, the strongest arcane mage of Wood Castle was the ultimate Boss for the players! His skills were powerful, but he could be easily controlled! The heyday Galru could singlehandedly fight against a level 20 Elite, but if its strength was controlled, its magical attack would drop to an extremely low level.

Starting from Galru, players started to really understand the importance of raw skills.

“Retreat to the door after three seconds!” Cigarette Butt’s eyes were those of an eagle, even in the face of such high-intensity battle, he remained emotionless. His brain was constantly calculating Galru’s next move. Through cursory observation, he predicted its movements.

It has been three hours since Shallow Smile had discovered the secret passage until now.

The first time, everyone had been instakilled by Galru’s Arcane Explosion just as they had approached Galru. The second time, they had deliberately let the MTs act as bait. As a result, the MTs suddenly rebelled, turning into werewolves, which in turn became Galru’s underlings, killing their own team.

Their fate as could be imagined was to be wiped out again without suspense.

The Kingdom of Glory’s members had repeatedly tried killing the Galru, forgetting how many times they had died.

The good thing was that with every attempt they took, there was an improvement. Thus, every death was of value! Trying to kill a new Boss was like that, using lives to fill up the gap towards success!

“Fearful Growth!” Galru’s low-pitched horrifying voice roared. Black souls suddenly flew around like madmen.

This was Fearful Growth where players would have a Fear Debuff, making them randomly release their skills and there would also be a tenfold increase in power. Once hit by Fearful Growth, the players would fail to differentiate friend from foe, releasing the skills chaotically!

It was impossible for the system to spawn a completely invincible Boss, so there was a safe point which could provide immunity to this Fearful Growth! Three seconds before Galru released Fearful Growth, he would subconsciously look at the safe place. Thus, the only thing they had to do was to run over to it by then.

Even so, because the safe point’s radius was too small, no matter how one tried to dodge the spell, there would be players who would still get hit.

That was where the intelligence and wisdom of players came in! What if the person who got hit was a healer? When a healer was controlled, healing spells would be scattered randomly with ten times its original power. A control skill that was deadly enough to kill players became a machine that helped to replenish everyone’s health!

‘Whoosh’

A Holy Priest was suddenly controlled by Galru, smiling ferociously, Healing Halo was released instantly!

Add 500 Health Points for the whole team!

Everyone was elated, and the precarious health bar instantly recovered to the max. Then, they rushed up together and continued attacking. Galru’s black pupil gradually spread, and his entire eyeball seemed to be completely covered in black, triggering the skill—Eye of Blasphemy!

Eye of Blasphemy dealt 30% of Health Points damage to the target in the line of sight. If the target was channeling spells, the spell would be interrupted. The target that was hit had a 30% chance to be converted to Galru’s child.

That was also a skill that reduced the enemy numbers and increased the strength of one’s side! Faced with such a skill, the method thought up by Cigarette Butt was – Run! Immediately stop channeling all spells and run behind the Boss.

If Lin Jie was there, he would ask everyone to continuously channel spells. Although that skill had the special effect of interrupting the channeling of spells, once the player’s channeling action was interrupted, the damage and conversion effect caused by the Eye of Blasphemy would be invalid. That was a technique only he knew.

However, they were still in the probing stage of the new boss. Hence, being able to come up with such a relatively efficient method so quickly, Cigarette Butt’s ability was not be underestimated.

The entire team took turns to attack in an orderly manner, obeying the commander’s orders. They accurately avoided Galru’s attacks and used various opportunities to attack powerfully! When Galru’s health bar dropped to half, there was still no reduction in members!

This video caused a huge uproar in the forum, or one could say caused a huge panic among some people.

After decades of changes in the game world, although new aggressive people would rise up every year, the change to the overall situation was very small. There were few of such situations where so-called dark horses that would go viral quickly would change the game situation. Whether it was financial groups, guilds, or players, they were closely related to the situation of the game world. Today, this situation was about to change!

“Kingdom of Glory! I already felt that this guild’s name was very domineering long ago! This name, cool!”

“Look at the Kingdom of Glory, releasing videos even when clearing a Boss, unlike some other guilds, keeping even the walkthrough for Cat Demon Lair for themselves, afraid that others would improve.”

“The difference in morals is so huge…”

When the leaders of the major guilds heard these statements, they almost had their noses out of joint from anger. To a guild, it was a top priority to beware of all kinds of spies within the guild! How could they announce the walkthrough that countless members had paid a huge price for?

Now, Kingdom of Glory had poked them ruthlessly in their soft spots with a sword. Not only did they stand on the moral high ground, but they had also gathered people’s hearts, and it had shown great strength. They became the focus of public opinions in an instant.

In this regard, even the famous reporter “Junior Mo” said that the Kingdom of Glory was the guild that was most likely to become another famous, powerful guild in China. He also took the opportunity to flatter The New Age: Only a global game like The New Age has such influence!

Triumphant Midnight club had a training warehouse of the size of a stadium, the accommodation and training of the main members were completed there. As the guild leader, the living conditions of Dumb Fox were naturally better than ordinary members—there were enough snacks next to his equipment. That was it.

Dumb Fox’s wise eyes stared at the video, his fingers quickly tapping, constantly recording down the prelude of Galru releasing his skills and the distribution of the attack range. These were important strategic information.

“Boss.” Midnight was holding a phone, and he furrowed his eyebrows. “The person in charge from Core Glory Financial Group called again. It should be trying to urge us to hurry up and clear the dungeon again.”

Dumb Fox waved his hand and said, “Say I’m pregnant, shut his mouth up!”

Midnight, “…”

As a guild in the game, it required a considerable amount of sponsorship, funds, or even a powerful background to be able to have a place in the game industry. The Core Glory Financial Group was the biggest sponsor of Midnight Triumph. However, the leader of the Core Glory Financial Group was eager for quick success and instant benefits, having eyes bigger than his stomach.

Not only Dumb Fox but Hunter’s Guild also received pressure from their sponsors. Ghost Eyes pulled a long face as he smoked a cigarette, the floor full of cigarette butts.

At the same time, Ironwall Empire.

“Clear the dungeon? Use what to clear the dungeon?” The Heavenly Shield and tens of the core members’ residence were relatively unbearable, it was only a large warehouse. He just sat on the floor like this and was foul-mouthed as he made the phone call, “Boss Zhang, you have not given us sponsorship in three months already. If I, The Heavenly Shield, did not have my members’ trust, which brothers would be willing to follow a guild that can’t even provide enough food to eat?”

The Heavenly Shield urgently needed success, but it had nothing to do with his situation. This grumpy and even conceited middle-aged man, who seemed that the only thing he thought every day was to bully, was weak. Who would think that he did that all because he wanted to be able to succeed and let his brothers have a meal?

In Lin Jie’s previous life, he did not know this, nor anyone else. The Ironwall Empire’s poor reputation was obvious to all, and its disappearance made everyone clap their hands and shout bravo!

This scenario was infinitely repeated…

Bang!

Qiu Yuan put down her notebook and gave a phone call to Netherblue. “Big Sis, there is a new guild called the Kingdom of Glory that will soon take the first clear. We need to hurry and go online, wake Water and the rest up!”

Netherblue’s voice still had a little sense of sleepiness, but then the lazy feeling after waking up dissipated, and she regained her usual capable and experienced self. “What about Fu Sheng and Innocent Killer?”

“I’ll go online to check.” Qiu Yuan took out the helmet from under her bedside table and entered the game.

—’Welcome back, dear player. You have appeared within Wood Castle…’

As the scene in front became clearer, Qiu Yuan opened her friend list at once. Fu Sheng’s name was shining green – he was online! Qiu Yuan almost cheered, but she found out that not far away…

A furry, huge monster tail flung and disappeared at a dead end…
