MMORPG: The Elementalist

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After returning to the Mythical Continent, Qin Ruo was met with a warm, welcoming peaceful atmosphere. Finally, after being trapped in the Underworld for a week, he was now home.

After returning to Savis Town"s bank, Qin Ruo gave most of the loot he acquired from the Underworld to Little Rice and had her put them up for sale in their Clan"s trade. He did not immediately meet up with Xiaoxiao and the rest because he did not intend to announce to the world of his return just yet.

Qin Ruo used a private voice message to chat with Xiaoxiao for a while, telling her about his days.

Through Xiaoxiao"s words, Qin Ruo could not help but feel excited…

He finally took the step.

Holy Clan, the Order of Eight G.o.ds, Pharaoh Clan… Since the broadcast of the video on the official website, these three clans that had grudges with him had now all mustered up their courage to attempt provoking Fallen Angel Clan, Violent Army Clan, and Bauhinia Clan.

If he had discussed this over with Violet Orchid, Dinosaurcerer, and Xiaoxiao and asked everyone to stay low or if Majestic Hero and Black G.o.d had not stood up for them, then there would be a rift within the Angel Faction by now.

"Netherclaw!"

After yelling out Netherclaw"s name in anger, Qin Ruo immediately created a chat group and included Violet Orchid, Xiaoxiao, Dinosaurcerer…

"Little Ruo?"

Violet Orchid"s voice sounded thrilled yet uncertain, "You"re… You"re back?"

"Ah?"

Dinosarucerer"s surprised voice could be heard from the chat channel—it was apparent that he was surprised by Violet Orchid"s deduction. To him, the Underworld was basically the graveyard for all the players who were weaker than DemiG.o.d tier—it was scarier than the Graveyard of the G.o.ds. Even if it was Qin Ruo, there was no way he could escape the place in such a short time.

However, he was also eager to know if Qin Ruo had finally achieved this impossible feat and came home.

"Yeah."

And Qin Ruo"s reply confirmed Violet Orchid"s deduction!

"I just got back. I"ve heard what"s going on out here through Xiaoxiao. Sister Violet, if Netherclaw wants a fight, we"ll give them one."

"Well…" Violet Orchid clenched her staff and walked out of a battle that she was in, with a surprised look from Slayer"s Heart and her teammates. Her voice turned calm again, "How do you want to do it?"

"Let"s not let the world know I"m back, just yet…"

"What?"

"I have a plan. You"ll see."

"Okay."

Even though Violet Orchid and Dinosaurcerer were still in doubt, they both agreed to his plan.

"From now on, we"ll just cancel our pa.s.sive att.i.tudes."

"Every Tier 5 member, get ready for battle! Xiaoxiao told me that there are three clans that have been causing us troubles. We"ll put them in their places first."

Qin Ruo then continued in a firm tone, "Dino, I"ll leave both The Order of Eight G.o.ds and Pharaoh Clan to you. Get in touch with Homme Fatale. You"ll need him."

"Sir, yes sir!"

Dinosaurcerer"s blood boiled with excitement. He and the Order of the Eight G.o.ds had been at odds for so long. Yet, recently, all he could do was to stay low profile and not retaliate. He had over a week"s worth of anger bottled up. Now that Qin Ruo"s back, his restraint was then released and he could go all out on his enemies.

"Xiaoxiao, contact Fateless and Permanent Lock. Tell them to meet up with Dinosaurcerer and collaborate their attacks on the Tier 5 members of Order of Eight G.o.ds and Pharaoh Clan."

"Alright."

Xiaoxiao"s short reply was filled excitement too.

Qin Ruo then continued, "Sis Violet, I suppose you"ve been eyeing Holy Clan and Netherspirit"s Claw"s treasure hunting group, right?"

Violet Orchid responded curiously, "How did you know?" She sent her men to investigate and tail the treasure hunting group of the two clans so that they could determine their locations, to avoid unnecessary confrontations with the two clans. Besides, she also wanted to keep a watch at how many Divinities the two clans owned and their combat prowess.

Qin Ruo smiled.

"Well, because you"re our Sis Violet. If you have some intel on them, that"d be great—it saves us time waiting to come find us. Sis Violet, could you ask Slayer"s Heart to stir the Holy Clan up a little? If they want a fight that much, we"ll give them one… Oh right. Dino, I"ll need you to do something for me."

"Sure, what"s that?"

"I"ll need an excuse…"

"Hmm?"

"I"ll need you to send a team to places where the Order of Eight G.o.ds and Holy Clan are most active. I need you to bait them out…"

After he finished his words, Violet Orchid and Xiaoxiao seemed to understand what Qin Ruo had in mind.

Dinosaurcerer seemed to have guessed his intention. "Places where they are most active? There are three of them… the Buried City… The Mythical Battlefield… and Savis Town."

"Savis Town?" Qin Ruo was surprised.

"Yeap." Dinosaurcerer nodded, "Aricus Underground Ruins is still under our control. Holy Clan wanted to grab the place for themselves so they had been clas.h.i.+ng with us a lot around the ruins and in Savis Town."

"That"s convenient. This saves me a lot of time moving around to find them… alright, send your men to Savis Town." As Qin Ruo was walking toward the outskirt of Savis Town, he also told Violet Orchid and Dinosaurcerer the attributes of his Ring of Honor—the "Mimic" skill and the unlimited inventory s.p.a.ce.

As Violet Orchid and Dinosaurcerer were surprised by what they heard, Qin Ruo was creatively thinking about what name, ident.i.ty and cla.s.s he would like to present himself in the upcoming fight.

In the outskirt of Savis Town, under the orders of Dinosaurcerer, a ten-man team from Violent Army Clan was pa.s.sing through the town, marching toward Kane Jungle.

Qin Ruo crossed his arms, covering the crest on his chest, tagging along the team. He"s now a Tier 5 Aquamancer from Fallen Angels—"Netherspirit"s Menace". He was about to clash with Netherspirit"s Claw anyway so this name was quite fitting.

And right after they had left the town, the Order of Eight G.o.ds had shown up. There were four of them, all warriors. They blocked the path that Violent Army Clan was headed to.

Qin Ruo took a glance at them and figured they must be some sort of heralds. So, the actual "main team" should be still on their way here. Therefore, Qin Ruo lazily hid behind Violent Army Clan"s team.

The four "heralds" from the Order of the Eight G.o.ds were actually quite well trained and geared. They had Gold quality equipment and the leading Berserker was wearing a Dark Gold quality arm guard. These were probably the elites among their Tier 4 members.

However, Violent Army Clan"s men were not as impressive. They only had violet equipment and not even one single piece of gold equipment. This did not look like a team that was from a huge clan. d.a.m.n, Dinosaurcerer seemed too cheap to even gear up his men. Or perhaps he knew that fierce battles could occur at any time so they all switched their violet sets? Some of these were actually the c.r.a.p that Qin Ruo acquired from Kane Jungle when he was still Tier 3.

Qin Ruo was so speechless.

It was not only Qin Ruo. Even the four "heralds" from the Order of Eight G.o.ds did not expect Violent Army Clan"s "treasure hunting team" to look miserable. The leader, a Berserker, was so filled with rage that he was eager to choke the living s.h.i.+t out of the scout that called him over.

Yet, he could not just retreat. This "team" was, after all, from Violent Army Clan—their enemies. And they had been eagerly waiting for a team from Violent Army Clan to march into Aricus Underground Ruins.

They had to do it.

So, the Berserker ordered his underlings to start taunting and provoking the "team" in front of them.

As they finished mocking every single one of the members of the Violent Army Clan"s "treasure hunting team", a cold voice suddenly spoke from behind them, "Have you all recorded this?"

"Yes, we"ve recorded."

The ten members of the Violent Army Clan, naturally, knew who this "Netherspirit"s Menace" was. They all replied with a mischievous smile.

Then the four warriors of the Order of Eight G.o.ds immediately lay their eyes on Qin Ruo in surprise.

"Which clan you"re from?"

As they stared at him in alarm, they instinctively looked at Qin Ruo"s crest. This Elementalist had a full set of Dark gold equipment—he seemed strong. And he was with the Violent Army Clan so they must be vigilant.

However, they all were relieved to see him standing so close to them—the Elementalist was within their immediate attack range. So, they inadvertently lowered their guards.

However, in the next second…

"Freeze."

A cool and calm command was uttered.

And the four warriors from the Order of Eight G.o.ds were all frozen—they did not even know how and when this Aquamancer directed water elements onto their bodies. All they felt in that instant was a bone-piercing cold and then they were all frozen.

Then, they saw twelve Frost Arrows silently floating in front of their eyes…

And then, Qin Ruo lightly waved his hand and the four Tier 4 warriors" bodies were each punctured by three Frost Arrows.

The four Tier 4 warriors were not Qin Ruo"s main targets. He immediately activated his Frostbarrier and Darkfrost s.h.i.+eld and turned to the ten Violent Army Clan members. "You all can go back now."

And then, he waited. He waited for the arrival for the "main team" of the Order of Eight G.o.ds, which was still on their way.

He held his antic.i.p.ation firmly to his chest—the same antic.i.p.ation that was also held by the Order of Eight G.o.ds, Holy Clan, and the Netherspirit"s Claw.
