MMORPG: The Elementalist

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Graveyard of the Gods was the battlefield for players from both Angel and Demon Factions. Even in the same faction, unity hardly existed as most players were self-centered. With the abundance of attractive rewards and pleasant encounters, the fewer the competitors, the better it was and the chances of getting the rewards would equally be higher. This was particularly obvious among the clans.

When conflict erupts between two parties, a third party would always sit idly, watching from a distance, and stealing spoils from both sides without lifting a finger after the battle. As mutual support within the factions was scarce, it was probably the most important reason alliances were formed by the Seven Great League of great foresight.

Initially, Qin Ruo and the other five were indifferent when they saw the two players from the Angel Faction being chased by players from the opposite faction. They did not even glance back.

During their journey, the party had bumped into many large parties from the rival faction. Besides the Tier 5 Supreme Champions, there was no lack of pro players Neither one of them dared to walk near these six people. These regular elites with average equipment were nothing.

Seeing Qin Ruo's party, the two players from the Angel Faction quickly rushed toward the six of them for refuge. Although they did not mind providing temporary shelter, the situation was somewhat fishy.

Despite having a huge conspicuous monster, the Amethyst Orc, in their party, the players from the rival faction sped up anyway. Desperately, they drew closer as if there was an irreconcilable enmity between them. Staying focused, the party was alarmed. Qin Ruo's gaze was fixed on the chests of the two players rushing toward them. A familiar clan insignia came into vision—a bright fully-blossomed red flower. It was Bauhinia Clan.

"Fight!" After instructing the party to fight, Qin Ruo rushed forward. Seeing this, his five comrades tacitly moved at the same time.

"Crap! Nosy!"

"Brother Rabbit, let's retreat! We can't get them!"

"Shut up! The Aquamancer with the monster is a strong player of Bauhinia Clan. He must not know the news of the tomb! Or else, all our efforts will go down the drain! We must take these two!"

"You back me up! Kill them!"

As soon as the Bandit from the Demon Faction was done talking, he activated Stealth and was followed by the two Bandits next to him. Clenching their teeth, few warriors and Bowmasters were still after the two Bauhinia Clan players. It was strange!

The two Bauhinia Clan players ran to escape. Behind them were players from the Demon Faction in Gold equipment and in front of them were six people and a monster who came to their rescue (the little Poochie could hardly be noticed). With the Dark Gold equipment and Amethyst Orc, Qin Ruo's party was overwhelmingly intimidating.

Seeing the opponents were still after the two Bauhinia Clan players, Qin Ruo's gaze turned cold as he said icily, "You must be digging your own grave!"

Subjugator and Judge were jolted. They could feel the murderous intent without even turning around to look at Qin Ruo as he extracted the Water Element from the air.

Qin Ruo, a Level 41 player, had always been very modest and even when he fought—he was calm, gentle, and always in high spirits. But now that he had seen the Demon Faction trying to kill these two Bauhinia Clan players, he had lost his usual composure. Their bewildered gaze swept through the few players from Demon Faction.

The members that made up the rival party was extremely complex. There were three players from Maverick Vatican League, two players from Satan's Salvation League, a voluptuous female player from the well-renowned Black Witch League, and a few players from Twelve Zodiacs Clan.

"A strong party indeed!"

Growing tense, the few people thought to themselves, 'These players are from various clans and the players from Tiger Cub's party actually tried to kill these two extremely regular players from Bauhinia Clan? Strange!'

Subconsciously, they speed up their movement. However, none of them were faster than Poochie and the Amethyst Orc!

Whoosh!

An awful scream was heard from the back. A gust of wind swept past their ears. The two Bauhinia Clan players only had a glimpse of a brown shadow flashing by.

The two Bauhinia Clan players were slightly relieved. Violet Orchid was right. This little kiddo, Qin Ruo, was crazy.

Suddenly, someone screamed, "Withdraw from your party! Hurry!"

As experience warriors, the two players quickly withdrew from their current party. As soon as they did, a system notification appeared. It was an invitation from Subjugator to join his party.

*Accept*

They were now officially part of a new party. In less than half a second, a frigid aura came from a Frost Bullet, passed through the opening between the two of them and pierced into the rival players at the back.

Boom!

Qin Ruo hit the target and kills the player the rival faction and received one Honor Point!

Qin Ruo hit the target and kills the player the rival faction and received one Honor Point!

"F*ck!"

"Brother Rabbit is dead! Run!"

Disregarding their own safety, the party was originally covering Brother Rabbit and another two Bandits with the intent to kill the two Bauhinia Clan players. They did not expect that the Aquamancer from the opposite Faction was so powerful and had wiped out two players in their party in the blink of an eye. He had even killed Brother Rabbit. Knowing that it was a fruitless attempt, the party quickly dispersed and escaped.

It was too late. In no time, they were shrouded in a huge shadow. It was the Amethyst Orc! A Titanwraith Palm was raised high into the air.

Bang!

Violet Lightning Barrage! His palm slammed perfectly in the center of the party.

The ground around the Amethyst Orc shook violently. A crack appeared and the floor started to shatter. Violet lightning emitted from the cracks and pierced through the sky. Players of the rival party were badly electrocuted.

Squeak squeak!

Discontented with the Amethyst Orc's conduct, Poochie scurried around in rage and attacked a few fairly powerful warriors.

The players from Demon Faction, who had just arrived, could do nothing but watch Qin Ruo and the two monsters wipe out the entire Demon Faction party.

Just as everyone thought the battle was over, a shrill cry came from the distance. Two sly figures appeared before them.

Bang!

A dead body fell to the ground. It was the lucky Bandit who had escaped the Violet Lightning Barrage.

Fateless casually came out of Stealth and habitually wiped the blood on the dagger as if he had just completed an ordinary task. He muttered faintly as he looked at the remains on the ground, took his equipment and walked towards them.

As soon as the battle ended, shocking news hit Qin Ruo. His expression was grave when he listened to the two Bauhinia Clan players.

Violet Orchid had been stranded in an empty tomb for more than two hours. The well-renowned King of Bandits, Savage Cub, was guarding the entrance. Although assistance was sought from the Three Great Leagues for a long time, the players who came to her rescue were either mauled by Tiger Cub or scattered around by a barricade from the Demon Faction. None of them was capable of saving her.

There were more than forty players from the Demon Faction watching the tomb. These two Bauhinia Clan players were the survivors of a group of twenty players. Most of them must have been sacrificed.

"Where is that?"

"Take me there now!"

Hearing Qin Ruo's quick and definite response, these two players, a warrior and a Bowmaster, beamed with rapturous delight. They were thinking in their hearts that Sister Violet was right. Not only was Qin Ruo powerful, he was also extremely brave. So it was no wonder that he dared to offend Dark Dragon and did not show even the slightest respect. This time Sister Violet would be saved!

Solemnly, the two players looked at the five champions behind Qin Ruo. Even if Qin Ruo was outstanding, his strength was limited. It would be great if the other five could go along. It was particularly true. Qin Ruo thought the same. Without the Elemental Perception: Water, he was no match for the Demon Faction. In particular the elusive Tiger Cub that even a Master Rank warrior could barely handle.

Turning around, Qin Ruo laid his eyes on the five. "It could be a fierce battle! Do you all want to join?" If he had not gone through the battle with the Deadwood Commander, Qin Ruo would naturally be more pessimistic.

Subjugator and Judge mere laughed. "Are you kidding me? What could we do without you? Who would cover us and who would supply us with Potions?"

"I'm in! It's been so long since my last fight with the Demon Faction."

"It would be very interesting!" Black Rock grinned.

"I will walk with Poochie." No one knew since when Poochie was again, lying happily in Snowleaf's arms, devouring the food that came from nowhere.

"Fateless? What about you?"

Playing with his dagger, Fateless walked over as he said in a definite tone, "Of course! ]Savage Cub is there, I definitely want to meet and pacify him a little."

"That's great. How much HP Potions do you have? I would like to exchange them with my Gold equipment."

"Ah? You have all ran out of HP Potions? Well, take these. There is no need for exchange. They are for Sister Violet after all."

Startled, the two players from Bauhinia Clan clumsily took the HP Potion (L) from their pouches and handed them over to Subjugator and Judge. Covered in cold sweat, they thought to themselves, 'It is such a waste to exchange HP Potions with Gold equipment.'

"Are these enough?"

"Haha! That's enough! Crap! Subjugator has returned! With this potion, the world is mine!"

Subjugator had completely consumed the HP Potions given by Qin Ruo during the battle with Deadwood Elves. Although he agreed to save the Violet Orchid, he was a little worried. After all, the opponent was no ordinary player, it was Tiger Cub. Now that he had three HP Potions in his pouches, he was thrilled and filled with overwhelming confidence.

On the other side, Judge was relatively calm as he told the two Bauhinia Clan players who were startled, "Don't worry about him. He is like that."

Dispirited, Subjugator suddenly turned to look at Fateless. "Oh yeah, I saw you murmuring at the remains just now. Did you recite the cremation chant?"

"Huh?" Jolted, Fateless merely grinned, scratched his head as he replied, "It was nothing. It was just my old grumbling habit. Seeing this rookie, I couldn't help but say a few words…"

"Come on, tell us." A few of them were bursting with curiosity.

"Alright… just don't laugh at me. I told him that this place is not meant for Novice or Intermediate Bandits. Next time, you must watch your step."

Qin Ruo heard this just as he was going to save Violet Orchid. In curiosity, his gaze swept passed the ground and stopped at Fateless, "Why did you say that?"

"Advanced Bandits would never choose a path that could reveal himself. He had sought his own demise by choosing this route." Fateless pointed at the ground that was scattered with fragments of bones. That was the place he found this Bandit.
