MMORPG: The Elementalist

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Like a nuclear missile thrown into H&G, the forming of the Fifth League of the Demon Faction boiled the entire Mythical Continent instantly!

Unbeknownst to most players, the encircling of Moonrise City happened in twenty minutes, but the appearance of the Twelve Zodiac—the Fifth League had got most online players to quickly ask after the state of Moonrise City. Some had even entered that town itself or Sin City to find out what was happening!

There were rapid flashes of light at the portal of Moonrise City, and the city square became congested in a brief few minutes, with players no longer able teleport inside…

Nonetheless, everyone was aware that since Black Witch—the Fourth League of the Demon Faction broke the balance between Angel and Demon Faction, the latter's overall elite ability had steadily surpassed the Angel Faction's!

And now, with the presence of the Fifth League of the Demon Faction, the gap between both sides would definitely widen! The Demon Faction had simply no reason to grasp the opportunity to demolish the Angel Faction and build a legend over the Mythical Continent, thus penning the glory of the Demon Faction…

***

Moonrise City.

The ramparts that were twenty meters wide was filled with various elites of Angel Faction clans. As fifteen League clans effectively implemented order, there were now no longer any noobs in the city's likely besieged positions—their Barriers, Combat Aura, and Berserk thus forming extraordinarily profound colorful circles!

Even so, when compared to the endless ranks of enemies below the city, they were distinctly overmatched and dulled in comparison. That was true especially for the situation at the four city gates: the four towering War Behemoths that resembled gigantic land dragons teetered as they slowly moved their bodies that were as heavy as iron fortresses to the ramparts…

Though countless spells and arrow skills were thrown on the War Behemoths' bodies, all were deflected by their thick armor, an insignificant offensive utterly incapable of hurting the ultimate siege machine behemoths!

Then, as the system notification that left the entire Mythical Continent thunderstruck ended, all four War Behemoths simultaneously reared their heads upon the skies and flailed their tails, bellowing ear-shattering roars that quaked Moonrise City!

Skree-onk!!!!

Bang!!!

Giant tails over twenty meters stabbed into the ground, while two rows of fearsome dorsal spikes disaggregated, forming a natural ladder that stretches above!

Boom!

The intimidating horn on the War Behemoths' head stabbed into the ramparts of Moonrise City just like a colossal awl, half of its skull sinking within as the top of their heads pulled level with the top of the city walls.

War Ladder built!

Hooah!!!

With the War Ladder successfully created, the million of players gathering and crowding the outskirts of the city ways roared with utter zeal, with waves of men and horses pushing towards the city gates from all directions.

The siege begins! Teams of League Elites stepped onto the War Behemoths' tails and gathered on their backs that were dozens of meters wide. Others would take cover under the towering bodies of the War Behemoths, unleashing powerful spells and arrow skills of Tier 4 and 5, striking the gates of Moonrise City that were closed temporarily!

Boom-boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!!

Inside Moonrise City, the Angel Faction players standing vigilant behind the city gates watched as the gates trembled as if bombarded by endless missiles, vibrating and rumbling rapidly, resoundingly and violently!

The city gates could rupture and collapse at any moment, the ceaseless echoes of rumbling and collision thus gripping every player behind the gates, focusing them as they charged their own magic, prepared to give a terrible direct beating when the enemy charges in!

***

Slayer's Heart, Violet Orchid and the others had entered Moonrise City before the system's notifications. They sighed in relief as they climbed up the city walls and saw the flawless, tidy countering formations of the Angel Faction.

And yet, their expressions changed drastically at the appearance of the Fifth League.

It was very obvious that the Fifth League was established in the spirit of the other four Leagues, and it was the exact situation back when the Black Witch League was formed.

Back then, when the three War Behemoths surrounded the city, the Angel Faction simply did not fear the Demon Faction. It was when the Fourth League appeared that the fourth War Behemoth appeared at the weakest city gate, breaking through Moonrise City in a single stroke!

The reason for that was simple.

League Masters of each League had the authority to summon one War Behemoth—the restriction of using it was a kilometer within a city inside the Angel Faction's borders!

For the first time, the Demon Faction had relied on surprise and almost broke through into Moonrise City. While the Angel Faction anticipated that and made plans for countermeasures this time, they never imagined that they missed the most vital key.

Establishment of the Fifth League had shattered the tree Great Leagues' overall plans. Now, apart from the four War Behemoths appearing from four directions, the Angel Faction also had to stay extra alert about the fifth War Behemoth's presence and the fifth direction of the siege!

The flames of war had ignited!

Still, the Angel Faction had fallen to a mysterious pressure and panic…

***

At the four main battle zones in Moonrise City, a team of Tier 5 Supreme Champions was led respectively by Scarlet Bauhinia, Netherclaw, Majestic Hero, and Black God, silently guarding the rear zone behind where both sides exchanged fire.

Likewise, to the rear of the massive War Behemoths, there were one or two Demon Faction Supreme Champions who had spread their wings in almost every direction…

Both parties simply watched silently as both factions traded by the city gates, refraining from acting at once!

The Angel Faction definitely would not dare throw their main force into the battlefield—the Demon Factions also had Tier 5 champions that were not at all inferior in comparison, and defeat was assured if they had leaped into the fray!

On the other hand, the Demon Faction were jarred by the swiftness of the Angel Faction's reaction, although that little detail was unimportant. They now just have to wait for Shaka, the League Master of the Twelve Zodiacs who was observing and finding the most vulnerable point of Moonrise City, thus summoning the fifth War Behemoth and throwing the Angel Faction into disarray.

Time passed by the second.

Both sides still exchanged fire from all directions—there were not many dead or injured.

Be that as it may, everyone was waiting for the appearance of the fifth War Behemoth…

Waiting for the moment of the most terrible strike!

***

Outside the western walls of Moonrise City.

Suddenly, the voice of one of Satan's Salvation Field Commander rang in the ear of the League's Master, Savior.

"Boss, your little sister Widow seemed to have found some trouble."

"Hmm?" Savior's brow twitched. "What happened?"

"Encountered a birdman…"

At that, the Field Commander suddenly remembered he should not be using that nickname for a fellow with fused Divinity in front of his leader, and hurriedly change his words.

"Uh, I meant a birdman from the Angel Faction… Damn, my big mouth."

As things went even more awry, it was by luck that Savior had gotten used to his Field Commander's gibberish, and so simply frowned without getting angry, asking patiently about the situation instead. When the Field Commander had told him about the Black Witch's encounter of the Winter Demon, Savior frowned at once… and called her!

"Witch."

"What?" Black Widow quickly replied, having paused and hovered in the skies over the Monster Mountains.

"What are his abilities like?"

"Stronger than most Tier 5 champions…"

Black Widow answered, understanding at once that Savior was asking about Qin Ruo.

A pause, and then a swift reply. "Won't you come back? We'll get someone else to handle him."

"Hmph!" Black Widow's voice turned cold. "Don't underestimate women—do you think I can't handle such a task?"

***

In the very moment, the masterminds of the Five Great Leagues had started discussing the siege of Moonrise City, Black Widow had been delegated as the commander, ensuring the safety of the rear since she was warrior class and was less effective in the siege. She would assume the responsibility of clearing the remaining Tier 5 champions across the Mythical Battlefield, while the others besieged Moonrise City in full force, suppressing all members of the Three Great Leagues inside the city!

For them, all Tier 5 Supreme Champions must be preoccupied with clearing the Buried City given its present popularity. None of the veteran champions or top elites would be inside the Mythical battlefield, which was why the Five Leagues believed that Black Widow's ability could swiftly get rid of any larger obstacles.

They never expected that Qin Ruo the Winter Demon would leave the Underground City to enter the Mythical Battlefield on this day!

While he may be a Tier 5 Supreme Champion who had Fused Divinity, Qin Ruo remained a novice champion. Black Widow would not to be reduced to playing second fiddle for that single variable by seeking the help of others.

For better or worse, she was a League Master. There was no way she would allow the Black Witch League to lose to Shaka amidst the rise of the Twelve Zodiacs, thus becoming the eternal bottom-feeder League amongst the Demon Faction!

Therefore, when Savior suggested a substitute, Black Widow coldly replied that she would handle him, and determinedly disconnected the voice call.

***

Flapping his Angelic Wings, Qin Ruo watched leisurely as players of the enemy faction surrounded him from every direction, glinting in red radiance as they approached.

He was left in awe.

It was quite the dramatic gesture… So many League elites? There was no telling how many Honor Points he would get if he killed them all!

Still, there was considerable danger. Most of the Demon Faction players who were encircling Monster Mountains were mostly elites above Level Forty and equipped with either Gold or Dark Gold grade items. Their bodies shrouded in red radiance this dark night, there was simply no telling if a Tier 5 champion was hidden amongst them.

As the Demon Faction players lunged at him, Qin Ruo could only move higher—he would be in danger if anyone threw a Tier 5 spell at him. It was only when he rose above a hundred of meters and those below could no longer threaten him that he looked towards the opposite side… where, beneath the night sky, he stood off against the seductive beauty Black Widow from afar, both spreading their Angelic and Demonic Wings respectively.

Qin Ruo was rather speechless!

After half a minute and seeing no moves on the other's part, Qin Ruo tried approaching her, only to have Black Widow pull away. On the other hand, if he turned his back, she would quickly give chase.

Following a few rounds of that, Qin Ruo finally had enough.

"Hey! I say, beautiful! Are you sick? Fight me if you want to—why wouldn't you let me off if you don't? You have to show it if you like me, you know? Or I think you're mental…"

"You're the one who's mental…" Black Widow shot back and grunted coldly. Then, crossing her arms before her chest, she pridefully said, "Go back to town! Then I won't try to chase you off."

"Chase me off? You?" Qin Ruo felt his facial muscles twitching and showing signs of numbness. He had thought that his own speech was shameless; he never imagined that the woman reached even venerable heights.
