Chapter 409: Conflict Ensues

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

3 hours after defeating Chaos In The Sky, a piece of news came.

Twilight Transmigration had slain Guardian Eller! They had also generously uploaded the slaying montage, which attracted the attention of countless other guilds. This video was also the official challenge raised against the Brotherhood.

“We will upload the video for every Boss we killed, as well as providing tips and tricks on conquering. Everyone is welcome.” Character Z, the chairman of Twilight Transmigration, announced, and it became the spotlight immediately.

Partial strength of the guild could be identified from the video as well: Staffing, Equipment Standards, Potions, and Food were all top-notch, nothing less of the guild that killed Guardian Eller!

A chairman that didn’t stick with trifles and a powerful guild, together with the decent exposure, attracted many players to Twilight Transmigration! Compared to how high profile they were, Brotherhood was much more subtle in its actions, it did not show any stand throughout.

…

Winer Town.

Lin Jie and Bu Yi were busy helping an old lady to arrange her furniture and clean her hut. Lin Jie had already received news about Twilight Transmigration from Netherblue. Twilight Transmigration had planned to gain exposure from their ways, but so what? After passing Guardian Eller, the Shadow Queen would be waiting for them! If anyone from the team glanced at the sexy queen, the Boss would be enraged, and endless torture would be awaiting Twilight Transmigration.

Furthermore, the Shadow Queen had high standards with regards to a team’s cooperation level and might even instigate rebellion. They would only stand a higher chance of passing that level if they had a few players like Lin Jie, Fat Cattle, and Wantless. Based on Lin Jie’s estimate, they would be stuck at the Shadow Queen for a minimum of three days.

‘Hu… Granny, hurry to transform into a character card.’ Lin Jie prayed as he arranged. After reading through <Mona’s Diary>, he got a piece of information: The third Boss was a citizen in Winer Town, ‘Mona’. He had left both his diary and conscience back at the hill and converted into a staunch believer of the Holy Light Ancestral Temple.

The granny was Mona’s mother. She was only a Level 5, and it was hard to notice her. She would ask all players that came along to help fix her house. After completing the mission, the granny would only give out a ‘Reward For a Kind Soul, ‘ which would give the players EXP and reputation. The rewards were average, and hence not many players would farm this mission.

However, helping the elderly after obtaining <Mona’s Diary> had a small chance of triggering the plot and transform the granny into a Character Card.

Bu Yi kept the house tidy carefully and managed to clean up the originally dirty wooden hut. It seemed like she was used to doing all of these in real life as well.

The granny glanced at the tidy house and sighed. “If my son was here, he would have been as diligent as you…”

Lin Jie’s eyes lit up, it has been triggered! He replied hurriedly, “Where is your son?”

The granny rolled her eyes. “I am talking to the little girl here, why are you the one replying? Do you know how to respect your elderly?”

Lin Jie was rendered speechless…

Bu Yi was unable to contain her laughter as she waved at Lin Jie to stop him from talking before walking politely to the granny. “Granny, where is your son?” she asked.

“He… said he had to tend to some huge business…” Words began pouring from her mouth as they were filled with hope and helplessness. Finally, she sighed and said, “I wish to see him again. However, I think I will never have the chance to again…”

Ding~

—”Do you accept the mission [The Old Mother that Misses her Son]?”

Yes!

Lin Jie said respectfully, “We will definitely find your son.”

The granny glanced at Lin Jie and did not chide him this time as she laughed. “Thank you.”

She turned into a white Character Card, which was on the lowest level. It could not trigger any missions, neither could it pass down any skills. However, this was the most critical item!

“Sigh, this granny is so pitiful…” Sympathy filled Bu Yi’s eyes as she spoke. “Lin Jie, I know that you will still help them out, even if there were no rewards!”

Lin Jie was stunned as a bad feeling grew in the pit of his stomach.

He did not accept this mission to bring about the mother and son reunion. Instead, it was to let the third Boss kill his own mother. And when that happened, the Boss would lose its ability to fight for a very long period of time.

Lin Jie grew slightly conflicted but decided to put this problem aside first. After completing this mission, Winer Town was of no value for the time being. Of course, if one were rich enough, they could also rebuild the whole village, and in turn, they would receive the gratitude of all the town folks, ultimately gaining control of the town.

“Let’s continue on to the other towns.” Lin Jie was about to move on when Dejected Night sent a message, his urgent tone signified that something had just happened.

“Breathless was blocked at the town entrance, and all my men have been killed.” Dejected Night’s fury could be felt from his grinding teeth that sounded amidst his sentences.

Mixed Breathless and Dejected Night were good friends and had been allocated to the same group that had headed to Carlo Town, which had been ravaged by beasts. However, at the final stage of their mission, someone had stolen the Boss and requested Mixed Breathless to hand over a protection fee of 100 gold coins in order to leave Carlo Town. Mixed Breathless was pissed off and killed a dozen people there.

However, that fella turned out to be a Twilight Transmigration player. He immediately called 100 men over to stop Mixed Breathless and Dejected Night. Dejected Night was a chairman himself, but his guild was only a third league clan, how could they match up to Twilight Transmigration? In 30 minutes, the supporting players had already been killed a few times, and a small number of them even left the guild.

“Hurry here! Breathless is being stubborn again,” said Dejected Night solemnly.

“Bu Yi, let’s head to Carlo Town.” Lin Jie’s eyes grew frosty. “Twilight Transmigration, this is a provocation! You can’t get my attention by stirring up the forum, so now you are obstructing my brothers? Do you want to die? Hmph!”

………

Carlo Town.

Differing from Winer Town, Carlo Town was bustling with life as many NPCs crossed the streets. However, some of the NPC residents were covered in injuries and savage-looking scars.

Carlo Town had suffered attacks from beasts after defying the Holy Light Ancestral Temple. The Holy Light Hounds, which were reared in the temple, would bolt into the town occasionally and bite the townsmen. Players’ missions were usually linked to chasing the hounds away. The last step in the mission would be to kill the Gold Boss Light Hound King, which was a kobold. This Boss was also the fuse of the entire incident.

Mixed Breathless, a Shield Specialist of a few words, was currently standing solemnly in front of 100 men. His armor, shield, and helmet were all burnt, and there were even traces of arrows!

“Yo, wasn’t the Savage Blade’s Shield Specialist super confident of killing all of us? How come he isn’t moving?”

“Continue your act!”

“Hurry up, I will let you off if you hand over the 100 coins for protection fee. Otherwise, you are a dead man today!”

100 players over Level 33 began making a ruckus, showing their disgusting selves! Several corpses lay on the floor, they all belonged to Dejected Night’s guild and Dejected Night’s own body was amongst them. Suddenly, one of the corpses revived and begun scolding evilly, “What the f*ck! @#¥%!”

The language used had been censored by the system.

“You are courting death.” One of the Warriors snorted and whipped out a silver greatsword and swung into onto the player’s face, instakilling him! The weak attributes after revival had made the players extremely frail. The Warrior proceeded to stomp on the corpse after defeating his opponent, laughing coldly. “Birds of the same feather flock together, trash!”

Mixed Breathless eyed him coldly. His eyes were calm even after the countless curses hurled at him, however, enraged flames seemed to burst from his eyes! He looked at the Warrior and bellowed, “Move your feet away!”

“You—” The Warrior was frightened by Mixed Breathless’ imposing presence and retreated out of instinct. He then looked at the dozen rays of light beneath his feet and the teammates behind him before puffing up his chest, “Come kill me if you can!” he retaliated.

Forward Charge!

Mixed Breathless had transformed into a shadow and skirted up to the Warrior before he could even complete his sentence!

“Instakill him!”

“What the f*ck, he still dares to attack.”

“Killing in front of us, how arrogant.”

The 100 men were stunned by Mixed Breathless’ moves. How could a Shield Specialist like him have the confidence to kill when their numbers differed so greatly?

Mixed Breathless death-glared the Warrior that had humiliated his teammate. His shield exploded in power and became indestructible, tanking several attacks as a double-digit damage figure floated above his head. Savage Blade’s number one Shield Specialist was insanely powerful! Not only that, his block points had piled up as well.

Mixed Breathless’ shield expanded infinitely in the eyes of the Warrior as it seemed to crush his entire world! The shield then transformed into a swift blade and sliced his throat!

Reflection Shield!

-1,029!

After blocking consecutively for over ten times, a huge damage figure was inflicted!

Furthermore, Mixed Breathless’ body flipped as he continued to tank the attacks, making use of them to unleash Reflective Shield once again! He had greater control of the consecutive Reflective Shield that Inksnow was capable of!

Reflective Shield!

Reflective Shield!

After a series of accurate operations and consecutive Reflective Shields, the Warrior’s skull was destroyed! He fell to the ground, dead!

Everything happened in an instant, and before Twilight Transmigration’s Priest was able to heal him, the Warrior had already fallen dead.

“Those that humiliate my brothers die!” Mixed Breathless let out a beastly growl. He was usually a quiet man, now that he had spoken, it stunned the crowd! Attacks fell like raindrops onto his shield but were only able to inflict negligible damage. Mixed Breathless’ growl was instantly boosted with Life Growl and Battle Growl! His body grew in size, and his health bar increased by 300 points.

“Wind of Recovery!”

A jade gust of air flew in his body, and his health bar was replenishing by 3% per second. Mixed Breathless gritted his teeth and bolted into the crowd!

Dejected Night yelled, “Breathless, Breathless! You are an MT, you can’t die! Our team’s dungeon-clearing speed will decrease tremendously if you die, get back here! All the brothers here have died here willingly for you, is this how you are repaying them?”

Mixed Breathless had been swallowing his rage in fear of dragging Savage Blade’s dungeon-clearing speed. As an MT, every health point was crucial, and a level drop would be detrimental.

However, he really could not contain his rage anymore!

“Brother Feng Yun, boost up, let’s kill him! He is courting death right now, it’s no longer up to us!” A bunch of Level 33 lackeys shouted to the back.

Behind them, was the Twilight Transmigration’s Feng Yun.

He was a player that relied on crowd enhancement and was weak on his own. However, with so many players serving as his lackeys, his abilities grew exponentially! However, how could that bunch of Level 33 players hold Mixed Breathless back?

“Don’t kill him, Lone Wolf will definitely rescue Savage Blade’s MT. I am here to talk, not to kill. You guys should be gentler with Brother Mixed Breathless, reduce his health points to 100. Otherwise, I can’t report to Lone Wolf afterward,” said Feng Yun, but a smirk hung from his lips as group blessings, light rays, and Holy Seals were added to the other players.

The 100 men were boosted with power, and they swarmed up towards Mixed Breathless!

“You want to talk to me? Of course, I am willing to. However, let my brothers release their anger on these scraps.”

While Feng Yun’s spirit was high, a violet hand that emitted corrosive Undead tinges whipped through the air and was about to raise Feng Yun up!

Lone Wolf was here!
