Chapter 1016: The Wrong Way
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“No wonder you’re the top player in “Dawn Break.” Brother Fei, you’re amazing!” After seeing how strong Jiang Fei was, someone immediately began to flatter him.
“Yeah! Yeah! Brother Fei, you’re invincible!” The other guild masters immediately started following suit and complimented Jiang Fei. He had the authority to issue Quests after all. They were afraid that they would lose out if they did not get on his good side.
“Hoho…” Just as Jiang Fei wanted to respond modestly, another horde of Skyriders ascended from the cultist fortress. It was like they had disturbed a hornet nest! These Skyriders were charging toward them like a swarm of locusts!
“You guys go, quick! I’ll block them!” Although Jiang Fei was not afraid of the overwhelming cultist army at all, he felt that he could not kill them all in a short time. With a number that big, the other guild masters would die instantly. So, Jiang Fei could only order them to retreat.
“F*ck! There’s too many of them!” The guild masters were also frightened by the cultist army frenzy. More than ten thousand Skyriders were rus.h.i.+ng over. Someone timid would have already fallen off their Mount!
Sword Form: Sword Burst!
To stop the cultist Skyriders, Jiang Fei had no more time to show off. He immediately disintegrated the sword dragon and sent more than one hundred sharp blades toward the Skyriders, trying to slow down their pace as much as possible.
“Come on! Let’s go!” The guild masters knew that they had to get out of there. They were all wearing expensive equipment. If they dropped their equipment here, no one would be able to sneak into the cultist fortress to help them get their equipment back.
“Sword spirit, kill as many as you can!” Jiang Fei ordered the sword spirit of Soulcutter.
“Yes, master!” Soulcutter’s Spirit had become Jiang Fei’s slave. He controlled all one hundred and twenty-eight blades and accurately stabbed the approaching Skyriders.
As the sword spirit was better at controlling the blades than Jiang Fei, the one hundred and twenty-eight blades alone were enough to kill all the enemies. So, Jiang Fei temporarily stopped the attack of the cultists by himself.
Even so, the problem was not completely solved because there were still countless more Skyriders ascending into the sky behind those that were just killed. Even though Jiang Fei was strong, it was impossible to kill an endless stream of enemies.
At this time, the other guild masters were flying further and further away. They had already left the scope of the cultist fortress. Jiang Fei was still resisting the attacks of the Skyriders. However, he was alone. Since these Skyriders could not kill Jiang Fei, they started to chase after the other players. Although Jiang Fei was surrounded by countless Skyriders, there were more Skyriders chasing the others.
“F*ck!” Jiang Fei cursed. He was trying his best to kill them. In a blink of an eye, the Soulcutter had already killed more than a thousand Skyriders. However, there were still many many more that flew past him, chasing the other players.
“Ah Fei! Get out of there, we’re safe now!” At this time, Happy Drunk sent Jiang Fei a message. The Skyriders did not have unrestricted pursuit. They stopped chasing the other players once they reached the edge of the cultist fortress. After hovering for a moment, they all descended to the ground.
At this time, the only Skyriders that were still fighting were the ones surrounding Jiang Fei.
“That’s good!” Jiang Fei nodded. As long as the other guild masters were fine, he was not worried about these Skyriders. After all, they were only Advanced Elites who were around Level 80. Despite their number, they could not break through Jiang Fei’s Defense. Moreover, under the protection of the Soulcutter, it was not easy for them to attack the Evol. Skygliding Dragon.
Sword Form: Blade Dragon!
Jiang Fei gestured and changed Soulcutter’s attack mode. More than one hundred sharp blades instantly turned into a sword dragon. Then, the sword dragon charged straight out in front of Jiang Fei and instantly killed all of the Skyriders in the way, creating an empty path.
“Go!” Jiang Fei shouted as he urged the Evol. Skygliding Dragon to rush forward through the path that the sword dragon had created.
The Evol. Skygliding Dragon was an Ancient Grade Mount. After it was enhanced with the Dragon Crystal, its speed became even more outstanding. The cultist Skyriders who were riding ordinary flying Mounts could not catch up with Jiang Fei at all. So, he quickly rushed out of the fortress after he got out of the encirclement. The Skyriders chased him until the edge of the fortress before giving up the pursuit and descending to the ground.
“Leader Verdure Glider, this cultist fortress is way too powerful. Can we even destroy it?” As they had seen the power of the Skyriders, many of the guild masters of small and medium-sized guilds began to have doubts. They were not as strong as the big guilds. If they were bullied by NPCs, they might not get any Quest Rewards and might even suffer significant losses.
“The fortress itself should not be this strong. After all, it’s a storyline Quest. It’s not supposed to be very hard. Our actions may have violated some of the rules of the Quest. The Skyriders only appeared because we tried to get close to the Chronos Gate through the sky.” Jiang Fei guessed. More than a hundred thousand Skyriders had appeared just now, and it seemed like it was endless. If this was really how the Quest was going to be like, it would be impossible for players to face the attacks of so many Skyriders and destroy the fortress.
So, Jiang Fei guessed that the Skyriders had appeared because they had violated the rules. The Quest required them to attack from the ground. Since a large group of players had approached the fortress from the air, the system had mistakenly thought that the players were trying to cheat by raiding the Chronos Gate from the air. So, it started to sp.a.w.n countless Skyriders to stop the players and ensure that the storyline Quest developed according to the established script.
“If that’s the case, then it’s possible…” After listening to Jiang Fei’s explanation, those guild masters were relieved. More than a hundred thousand Skyriders coming to attack them was like a nightmare. If the cultist fortress was really so strong, attacking it would be equivalent to suicide!
“Well, you’ve all seen the fortress. Let’s go back and discuss the details of our attack. After all, we don’t have much time. The Chronos Gate has begun to recharge. We must destroy it before the next Ancient G.o.d is summoned to the main world.” Jiang Fei looked at everyone.
“Mmm! You’re right, leader. Let’s discuss the attack plan.” The guild masters nodded. The Quest Rewards were, as expected, quite attractive to them.
After returning from the cultist fortress, Jiang Fei and the others gathered in the Chamber of the Demon Dragon Fortress once again. Jiang Fei deployed all the guilds and a.s.signed the Quests.
As Jiang Fei’s previous show of power amazed these guild masters, his Quest a.s.signment went smoothly. Very quickly, each guild had their own Quests. After the task of destroying the seemingly indestructible cultist fortress was divided among all the guilds, the challenges faced by these guilds were no longer as tough as they were before this.
