Samsara Online

Soon, the angel-like silhouette that had formed in the sky seemed to form a trumpet and began to play an extremely soft melody. The melody produced was so beautiful that everyone unconsciously felt the desire to abandon their weapons and stop fighting. But the most surprising thing was what happened next.

Small particles of white light seemed to emanate from the angel in the sky and began to fall to the ground slowly like little snowflakes. The view was simply beautiful. However, when all the particles of light disappeared from the sky, the angel began to slowly fade away, and, at the same time, an indescribable scene unfolded.

Hundreds of thousands of players who were still waiting patiently, hundreds of thousands of players who decided to believe in the words of Shiva and his group, hundreds of thousands of players who did not revive in the city, opened their eyes again and slowly stood up!

Everyone had a look of disbelief. Even Yang Tian, Red Snow, Gu Qianxue, and the rest, who already knew what was going to happen, looked at Xie Yao with wide eyes as if they couldn't believe it.

A single gesture and an army of now nearly 1 million players stood in front of Xie Yao looking at her in admiration! The revived players shouted aloud and looked at Xie Yao with fervor; as if she was the sacred goddess in the hearts of all of them.

"If at some point Shiva decided to create his own guild, this girl would be the real enemy." The corner of Yang Tian's mouth twisted several times as a look of disbelief and a hint of fear appeared in his eyes. Hundreds of thousands of high-level monsters were needed to slay all these players along with several hours of constant fighting; however, in a matter of seconds, they all came back to life as if nothing had happened.

The mere thought of facing an army that could revive again after so much effort to defeat them filled everyone's heart with fear and a strange pressure overwhelmed them.

"Well... I guess we should be okay during the fifth wave." Gu Qianxue looked at the battlefield and smiled softly as she played with her hair.

Everyone followed Gu Qianxue's gaze and after inspecting the battlefield, they all nodded unconsciously.

Since Xie Yao had positioned herself at the place with the most deaths, all the players within 2 kilometers with her as the center were revived, the only lifeless corpses resting on the ground were the bodies of the monsters killed by the defenders. It doesn't matter if the player was in front of Xie Yao, behind her, or to her sides; as long as he or she was within 2 kilometers of her, that player was revived.

Although it naturally wasn't a 100% revival, at the very least, 70% were successfully revived.

Xie Yao just felt a little overwhelmed at being looked at by so many people with different kinds of emotions in their eyes. Still, she managed to put up an indifferent and casual front. She hugged the little Ling Long beside her and returned to the back of the defensive line; her work was done and there was nothing more she could do.

The players in charge of protecting the southern gate of Eminentis City were now ready and confident to fight the next and final wave.

-West Gate

After a tough battle, Xie Feng and the rest of the defending players in the western part of the map managed to defeat the monsters of the fourth wave. Fortunately, the Purple Wings Baroth was the boss of this fourth wave so after Nangong Lei weakened it greatly and Xie Feng killed it, what the players had to do was to defeat the rest of the remaining monsters.

What slightly surprised Xie Feng was that things went softer than he thought when it came to his cooperation with the Sacred Wings guild. Originally, he had thought it would be impossible to coordinate with each other, but fortunately, the commanders of the Nangong family guild were not fools; they knew clearly what would happen if the monsters broke through the defense. Besides, what had happened before with the Purple Wings Baroth had already left a stain on them; none of them wanted something like that to happen again.

Although Xie Feng managed to coordinate properly with the other players and there were no problems with each side, the number of players who had died from the time he had arrived onwards was over a hundred thousand players.

That was how overwhelming the difference in strength was due to the level gap. Even with several players attacking a single monster the number of losses was very high.

Xie Feng surveyed the battlefield indifferently as he listened to the commanders giving orders and doing their best to reorganize the army. With approximately 800-900 thousand players standing, Xie Feng expected to be able to overcome the next challenge.

The players were not unwilling to die. Even if they lost a level and a piece of equipment, the amount of coins and experience they gained far outweighed what they would lose if they were killed. This was a good sign since everyone knew that when worries and fears were pushed aside, everyone could perform much better.

-East Gate

As in all battlefields, corpses washed over the ground like waves in the ocean. The only exception was the southern battlefield which had only a few dead players compared to the rest and most of the corpses belonged to beasts.

Until level fifty, priests could not revive any player unless they obtained an extremely valuable skill scroll or had a unique or hidden class with the skill to revive. Since priests could not revive, their main function was to focus on maintaining the health bar of as many players as possible. But even when priests could revive other players in the future, they could only revive one player per thirty minutes or one hour depending on the cooldown of the skill.

There was no way to compare them with Xie Yao.

"Good job." One Man Army canceled the summoning of his three beasts and smiled at Mu Wuying.

"Same to you. Good job." Mu Wuying also smiled back at him.

The One Man Army's participation outside the eastern gate of the city was not at all inferior to Mu Wuying's. His three summoned beasts moved all over the battlefield constantly and took the lives of tens of thousands of monsters by themselves while he attacked on his own.

Mu Wuying was truly satisfied and felt at ease to be able to collaborate with a person like One Man Army, unlike Unsurpassed Defense who was guilty of the death of many players due to a simple capriciousness.

"Let's do our best. There is little left to cross the finish line." Mu Wuying smiled.

"Hahahaha." One Man Army laughed. "At the very least, we should hold out long enough for another zone to support us!"

700,000 players from the east gate were ready to fight.

-North Gate

Of all the battlefields, the north had lost the least amount of defenders during the fourth wave. This was thanks to the spell with a big area of effect cast by Yao Mei during the beginning of the monsters' attack.

If it wasn't for her, the number of deaths could have been equal to or higher than the other three gates.

Almost all the players were looking towards the slightly elevated hill a little further back.

Standing there were two people. These two people were, naturally, Yao Mei and Yao Zenyu; the most prestigious pair of siblings not only in the real world but also in the virtual world.

Although Yao Zenyu was indisputably one of the biggest and most powerful hegemons in the virtual world, although he was the next leader of one of the most powerful families in all of China, the players' eyes were fixed on the young red-haired girl next to him.

Today was Yao Mei's 15th birthday, so her height was naturally shorter than Xie Yao, Gu Qianxue, and women who had already passed their teenage years. However, her body was enough to make even a high priest drool for. Her small stature only further accentuated how developed she was actually for her age.

She stood at the top of the small hill looking out over the horizon with a casual look on her face as her fiery red hair blazing like fire and shining like ruby danced softly every time the wind caressed it. She looked so casual and indifferent that it was impossible for all the players watching to know what was going on in her mind.

Yao Zenyu gave her a sidelong glance but even he, who saw her grow up, had no idea what his little sister was thinking. As for this, he could only sigh helplessly in secret. Although he and their father had a rough idea of why she acted that way, there was nothing they could do about it but wait for her to get over it someday.

"Are you excited?" Yao Zenyu asked.

Yao Mei looked at him in confusion, so he explained, "Tonight is your birthday party. Many people will attend your party..... Gu Qianxue, Mu Wuying, Yang Li'er, Mu Yin.... Even several of your university classmates were invited by father."

After listening to her big brother's explanation, Yao Mei, who finally understood what he meant, seemed to lose interest as she began to play with her status window.

Seeing this, the corner of Yao Zenyu's mouth twitched a couple of times and he finally gave up trying to engage in conversation. Probably only two people in the whole world could keep him in such a way; his younger sister and Mu Wuying, who no matter how hard he tried, could not get either of them to open with him.

On the other hand, Yao Mei looked at the skill described on the status window in front of her with a strange shine in her honey-colored eyes.

The name of the skill was 'Fire Leviathan'.
