Sacrifice's Rise: I Became Invincible After Entering Godslayer Temple

John quickly skimmed through the post and roughly understood what had transpired. 

The more he read, the angrier he became.

Simply put, Riverlo and his guildmates were in the wilderness killing a boss. 

Just when they were about to finish it off, a group of players appeared out of nowhere. 

Not only did they steal the last hit on the boss, but they also killed off the already weakened team of Riverlo.

Under normal circumstances, this wasn't a major issue. 

Things like mob-stealing, player-killing, and loot-grabbing happened regularly in the game. 

After all, this is a game, and you can't expect every player to have high integrity. 

It's normal for some to have questionable behavior.

According to the usual game etiquette, as long as the group that stole the wild boss apologized and compensated Riverlo's team, the issue could have been minimized. 

But, shockingly, these guys were extremely aggressive. 

Not only did they refuse to compensate, but they also camped outside the city, attacking and killing any players from Riverlo's guild who entered or exited the city.

Generally, when such arrogant players emerge, there are usually high-level players who cannot stand by and teach them a lesson. 

Unfortunately, no one dared to provoke them.

Because these guys were from the "Wolf Guild."

Wolf Guild was a newly risen guild in the game "Godslayer." 

The entire guild was filled with hooligans with bad behavior, rampant with lowlifes who believed in the rule of "Survival of the fittest, power is everything" while playing the game.

Due to their lack of moral compass, they have been causing all sorts of troubles since the game launched three months ago. 

Killing newbie players, bullying newbie players, harassing female players, stealing items and last hit on bosses were all common occurrences.

Several major guilds have tried to challenge Wolf Guild, but the guild leader and deputy of Wolf Guild were overwhelmingly powerful. 

Even when they were lower level, they could easily dominate their opponents. 

In the end, the major guild that tried to stand up for justice was entirely wiped out by Wolf Guild.

After this battle, Wolf Guild quickly gained infamy, attracting more rogue players to join, looking to partake in the thrill of bullying the weak. 

Over the past few months, any players who had offended Wolf Guild members were harassed endlessly. 

Many players were forced to delete their accounts and quit the game due to their bullying.

This time, after Riverlo was targeted, even a personal apology from the Guild Leader didn't help. 

Those ruffians even demanded Riverlo to crawl and apologize in the city, or they would continue slaughtering members of their guild. 

Their actions were simply outrageous.

John knew that Riverlo was a nice person with a good temperament. 

Even when people upset him, he would often let it go with a smile unless it was excessive. 

The fact that even Riverlo was driven to the point of posting for help revealed just how outrageous Wolf Guild's actions were!

John huffed coldly, closed his eyes, and thought for a while on the sofa. 

Then, he opened his eyes and left a comment on the post.

"Riverlo? This is Galewind. Are you the Riverlo I know?"

He thought the post's author wouldn't reply so quickly, so he took the opportunity to take a bath. 

After his bath, he picked up his phone again.

To his surprise, the post's author had already replied to his comment.

"Galewind! I remember you! It's been a long time, are you playing 'Godslayer' now? Let's add each other." 

Following that was the numeric ID left by Riverlo.

John thought for a moment, then replied, 

"Alright, it's too late today, I'll add you when I get online tomorrow." Then he left it at that.

He wasn't in a rush, going online right now wouldn't make much difference, it would be better to get a good night's sleep, and deal with it tomorrow with full energy.

...

The next morning, John got up at 6 am.

Coming out of the temple, John was surprised to find himself feeling more energetic than ever, as if a short sleep was enough to bring him to his best state. 

This condition wasn't present before playing 'Godslayer'.

"Could it be, can this game really influence reality?" John pondered while brushing his teeth.

After washing up, John went online and found his friend list continuously blinking. 

He knew it was Riverlo sending him a friend request.

Opening his friends list, sure enough, it was Riverlo, his avatar was the same as the one from the last game.

John accepted the friend request and sent over a message.

Soon, Riverlo replied.

John couldn't resist joking with him, "You stayed up all night online, aren't you afraid of sudden death?"

Riverlo: "If I don't die suddenly, I'll be pissed to death. You saw the post I made, right?"

John: "I did, what's the story with this Wolf Guild? I've never heard of them."

Riverlo: "Nothing much, just a newly formed guild in this game. But they're very ruthless and don't leave any face for others, so no one wants to provoke them."

John: "Do you need me to help you deal with them?"

Riverlo: "They're powerful, I know you're strong too, but this game is a bit different from the ones we've played before, the operation technique doesn't decide everything... By the way, what's your level now? Why are you hiding your level?"

John thought for a moment and replied, "My level is not high, I'm hiding it so people won't laugh."

Riverlo: "In that case, you better not get involved in this mess. These people don't make sense, and once you get involved, they will surely not give up until they get you. It wouldn't be good if you were implicated."

John laughed and replied, "You've known me for quite a long time. Do you think I'm a person who's afraid of trouble?"

Riverlo quickly replied, "No, but I know you're a very stubborn person... Listen to me, there's no benefit for you in getting involved in this. I don't want to drag you down."

John: "Who says there's no benefit? Didn't you offer a reward of 500 Gold Coins for help in your post? Are you backing out now?"

Riverlo sent an speechless emoji and then said, "I know you're not greedy. You value loyalty, but if I cause trouble for you, I would feel very guilty."

John: "Alright, stop being so reluctant. We don't need to be so polite with each other. Where are you now? I'll come for you."

Riverlo then sent over a coordinate.

John found out that Riverlo was in a place called Northwood, so he messaged, "I'm heading to the teleport portal, I'll be there soon."

At this moment, John's friend list blinked with a new message. 

He thought it was Riverlo sending another message, but upon checking, he found it was Emma.

"Johnny, how did you get up so early? We didn't log off until 1 am last night!"

John: "Aren't you also up this early?"

Emma: "I'm fine, I slept a lot in the afternoon. When I woke up in the morning, I couldn't fall back asleep, so I thought I'd go online... I'm going to Nightglow Lake to fish, do you want to come?"

John: "No, you go fishing first, I have something else to deal with."

Emma: "Okay, Johnny, do as you wish."

After replying to Emma, John walked to the town's teleportation portal, selected the place, and began the teleportation.

Soon, he arrived at Brambleburg, not far from Northwood. 

The reason he couldn't teleport directly to Northwood was because Northwood and the town where John was before belonged to different imperial forces. 

Although they were both human territories, there was no direct teleportation between the two nations.

So, John had to first teleport to Brambleburg, which was closest to Northwood, and then walk the rest of the way.
