MMORPG: The Elementalist

Roar!

The forest in between Fireseal City and Black Flame Valley was getting packed with more and more people. They had all entered the grounds where the Ten Great Leagues and Fallen Angels battled on.

Previously, not many individuals realized the severity of their war. However, as time passed, the forest became totally crowded with people!

It was a pity for those monsters in the forest. They were killed instantly even when they just showed up for a while.

"D*mn it!"

"There are so many people. I can't even see the road."

"This place is so lively now, I can see every kind of person here."

Everyone was talking and wondering about the war.

"What's happening in the war right now?"

"Sh*t! We're too far away to see it…" Many players climbed up the surrounding trees and attempted to observe the war. However, they only saw tree branches and human heads.

In contrast, players who could fly were able to see more. They could at least detect the war's approximate location…

Nevertheless, their questions in mind were no less than those who could not fly.

"What's the situation?"

They were startled when they saw the Chimera Troop and the Ten Great Leagues standing against each other in the sky but not taking any steps to attack.

"What are they doing?"

"Is it possible that they're negotiating? But there's a war beneath them!"

These people did not know that the Ten Great Leagues had more than eight thousand people buried in the dark region beneath them. Most of them had not been resurrected yet, and they were waiting for backup. They definitely suffered a lot when they faced the Chimera Troop. The Chimera Troop could still be resurrected if the Chimeras died, but the players from the Ten Great Leagues would have difficulty in obtaining Resurrection if they died in the dark region beneath them.

Who would they risk fighting with the famous Chimera Troop in such a situation?

It would mean throwing one's self into a tiger's mouth!

On the ground, the tree nearest to the frontline was surrounded by a lot of Tier 5 and Tier 6 players with Divinity Crystals right then. Players with Angelic Wings who flew over the place would be attracted to the Legendary Equipment worn by those Tier 5 and Tier 6 players. Some joined them, but some just flew away.

However, it was not difficult for one to recognize the players' capabilities. Their Angelic Wings and equipment reflected their formidable power.

In addition…

Every player there had publicized their personal details. This implied that everyone could check their identity, level, Class and Clan information.

Surprisingly…

The players were all Clan Leaders!

In just a short while, more than a hundred Clan Leaders assembled around the tree.

They would be a formidable force even against the Ten Great Leagues.

Furthermore, numerous Clan elites were now on standby behind the tree like a bunch of tigers that could kill anyone who messed with them.

Hence, they were able to stand at the battleground freely while the Ten Great Leagues and Fallen Angels had their war.

"Hey, John! It's been a while."

"Clan Leader Alas is here? Hahaha, this is great…"

"Huh? Isn't that person from Flammagenitus? Clan Leader Raging Fire! Here!"

"Oh, so everyone's here. I thought I was the only busybody one. Hahaha!"

More than a hundred Clan Leaders gathered at the same time; this was a rare scene in H&G! Those from the Ten Great Leagues were shocked when they saw them and started to discuss among themselves.

"Wow! We're just having a war with the Fallen Angels, why there are so many high-positioned people here?"

"Tch!"

"That's an easy guess. They're all here for the bounty reward."

"Looking at the situation, the Fallen Angels would not send Level 57 to Level 59 players to participate in the war."

"…Bastards! We're fighting but they're just watching!" These conversations, of course, happened in their own channel.

"This is a tough fight. Luckily, the Ten Great Leagues have a lot of members to fight. If this were another League, they would be dominated by the Fallen Angels…"

"Yeah, not more than a hundred people from the Fallen Angels have participated, yet the Ten Great Leagues still can't kill them with their overwhelming number of people." Those Clan Leaders on the tree could not help but shift their topic of conversation to the war's situation.

"This is abnormal."

"Yes, it's been so long already, what are the Ten Great Leagues waiting for?"

"By the way, the Fallen Angels have been acting very weird too… They called all their veterans here just for the battle in Black Flame Valley. I can't figure out why." The people on the tree were all very smart, they did not mention the bounty award at all. They acted like they just wanted to observe the war.

"Maybe the real war hasn't started yet? There's still an hour until the League War starts, right?" Someone had shifted the topic to the League War. However, not many responded to it. This was because it was so obvious that if the League War had started, the Ten Great Leagues would be overwhelmingly defeated already!

"Everyone! I am Black Emperor's Deputy League Master—Bright Dawn!"

Everyone on the tree looked at him immediately.

"I have some problems here that I need your advice on…"

Everyone on the tree remained silent and did not reply to anything.

Bright Dawn thought this was normal. After all, they were all Clan Leaders. It would be embarrassing for them if they simply replied to anything.

"I'm not sure if every Clan Leader here has heard of the Ancient Ghostvine?"

Bright Dawn looked at the Clan Leaders with hope. Their Clans may not have been that strong like Black Emperor, but they may have information regarding the Ancient Ghostvine…

At that moment, the Ten Great Leagues were in a very bad position due to the many deaths of their members in the war with the Fallen Angels.

The Ten Great Leagues suffered terribly from their own plan in the war. Twenty thousand people from the Leagues leveled down and lost plenty of precious equipment too.

The Fallen Angels had used up much of their Honor Points, but they still had the upper hand…

Right now, the Ten Great Leagues had invested all of their resources and efforts into the war with the Fallen Angels. Retreating would only indicate that they were inferior to the Fallen Angels.

Additionally, more players and Clans were now watching the war. If they did not come up with a plan to reverse the situation as soon as possible, the name of the Ten Great Leagues would be tarnished!

As long as they could eliminate the dark region in the forest, they would then be able to turn the tables. Once they eliminated it, the Chimera Troop would not be a problem to them whatsoever. It also meant that the elite players from the Fallen Angels would get into trouble too.

Right then, investigating the Ancient Ghostvine was of the utmost importance for the Ten Great Leagues!

"Who would've thought that the Ten Great Leagues would seek help from others. The Fallen Angels have really forced them into despair." On the tree, all the Clan Leaders frowned and thought that the Ten Great Leagues' situation was worse than expected.

However…

"The Ancient Ghostvine?"

"What is that thing?"

Everyone looked at each other in doubt!

The Ancient Ghostvine was a living being that resided deep within the Underworld. It was located far away from the camp and identified as a being from an extra-dimensional space valuable to Hades. It could not be easily spotted even in the Underworld.

At that point, there was only a little over two thousand Demigod Champions in H&G…

There was only one person who could lead a team and explore deep into the Underworld; he had the Ring of Honor and did not need to worry about Potion scarcity—Qin Ruo.

Half a minute had past… The Clan Leaders on the tree were just shaking their heads.

"Bright Dawn, the Darkmist that we're looking at right now was made by the Ancient Ghostvine you mentioned earlier?"

Bright Dawn nodded and wore a sad expression at the same time. After all, he had planned to get more information about the Ancient Ghostvine from these Clan Leaders so that they could destroy the dark region.

Who knew…

Nobody knew about the monsters that the Fallen Angels had captured so easily!

Bright Dawn looked at everyone on the tree again. After he confirmed that nobody could answer him, he sighed and said, "So… no one here knows about this monster—"

Before Bright Dawn was able to finish, he heard something behind him.

"Ancient Ghostvine? I've seen that thing in the Underworld before."

That statement not only attracted the surrounding players' attention, but it also astonished every Clan Leader on the tree, not to mention Bright Dawn!

He turned back immediately with a pleasantly surprised expression and looked at the Berserker who was flapping his Angelic Wings in the sky.

"Really?"

While the Berserker spoke, everyone who looked at him inspected him thoroughly. The Clan Leaders were astounded when they realized that he did not even have a Clan Insignia.

Angelic Wings…

A full set of Legendary Equipment…

Perhaps he was a pro solo player?

"Hello there… you know about the Ancient Ghostvine?"

Bright Dawn asked suspiciously.

The Berserker nodded his head and said, "Of course I know."

"Good to hear that! May I know under what circumstances you would share your information with us?" Bright Dawn asked nervously. It felt like he finally saw the light in the dark.

He knew that even if the Berserker requested Legendary Equipment or millions of gold coins, all the League Masters would agree immediately!

However…

The Berserker's answer was very simple and weird. "I can tell you, but as my reward, I need you to answer my question too…"

Bright Dawn was stunned when he heard that…

All the listening Clan Leaders were startled too. This was a good chance for Bright Dawn because his request was only to have Bright Dawn answer one question.
