Chapter 176: Enemy Trace! The Demon Faction!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Should what was spoken at the Devil’s Swamp that day be true, the champion revealed by the Dark Annihilator would prove to be just like an unsheathed sword that was sharp like no other.

At this moment, Slayer’s Heart appeared plain and simple to Qin Ruo. However, what he was seeing was contrary to what he had thought. Each and every little skill of his grasped onto the vital spots of his target with no mercy. Just like a heavy sword without a cutting edge matched with careless attacks, which was even better at inflicting damage onto the enemy.

The few people battling in the vicinity saw the strength that Slayer’s Heart displayed and they slowed to a pause as Qin Ruo did. Sounds of the wind getting cut by the swinging of Pazuzu’s Warhammer accompanied by deafening rhythmic bangs caught their attention as they witnessed the Darkshadow Archdemon stagger again and again under the bombardment of Slayer’s Heart’s critical attacks that were deceptively slow.

“...”

Other than Violet Orchid and the ladies, Dinosaurcerer and the others were utterly in awe of Slayer’s Heart’s strength!

As if the six combo strikes before were not enough, Slayer’s Heart’s movements now appeared to have yet again reached an unbelievable new level! Only one word went through the audience’s minds as they watched, stunned—amazing!

In their state of wonder, they could sense that the one and only thing in the eyes of Slayer’s Heart was the Darkshadow Archdemon. He was completely immersed, in a whole other world. Right now, no one knew if any attacks launched on Slayer’s Heart would even remotely disrupt his pace. So they watched on with bated breaths, not daring to make a single move that could cause a sound, in fear of potentially affecting the Slayer’s Heart’s performance.

Brother Da and Gold Digger Babe who were hiding way in the back as they observed the situation of the battlefield had long forgotten their own duties. They were fixated on Slayer’s Heart as they swallowed air down their parched throats.

Gold Digger Babe finally understood why her unofficial brother-in-law, who to her was extremely powerful, was willing to settle with this small party as an ordinary player.

‘Brother Slayer, that strength, that...’

She dug deep into her knowledge of the words, but she could only find one to describe the performance of Slayer’s Heart—astounding. She could not comprehend how Slayer’s Heart did what he was doing. The calmness, pace, smoothness, skill, and timing of Slayer’s Heart executions made it look all so natural, and showed that he was indeed capable of suppressing a Darkshadow Archdemon that possessed the strength of a Level 47 Miniboss.

While the two of them had all their attention on Slayer’s Heart, not more than ten meters away, several plants were slowly being flattened to the ground. It was as if a heavy object had fallen upon them. Despite that, not even the slightest sound was heard. And because of that, it did not attract anyone’s attention!

***

“He has finally gone into his zone.”

Violet Orchid ran back to her initial position as she said that out of the blue. Her words caught Qin Ruo’s attention and he turned his face to the side, asking, “Sister Orchid, has Brother Slayer always been this great and powerful?”

“Him?”

Violet Orchid tucked the hair on the side of her ears as she smiled and shook her head. “If that were the case, it would have been great.

“The greatest weakness of your Brother Slayer’s Heart is his inability to get serious. Normally, his strength would just be of a normal professional player’s. Only when he is faced with imminent danger does he enter his zone...” Upon saying that, Violet Orchid paused for a moment as she looked at Slayer’s Heart. A sweet little look flashed on her face, showing how proud she was of him. “Only now can he truly be himself...”

Seeing the rare expression of a happy little girl upon Violet Orchid’s face, Qin Ruo’s jaw dropped.

‘Cough cough. Wasn’t there a piece of gossip shared among the ladies saying that Violet Orchid and the Squad Leader of Bauhinia Clan were of an item? Why does it seem...?!

‘This... this was too...

‘...too ‘that’ already!’

Realization hit Qin Ruo like a bolt of lightning as he just noticed something more groundbreaking than Slayer’s Heart’s strength. Overwhelmed by all the thoughts running through his head, he stared at the side of Violet Orchid’s face as it swiftly went back to its original expression. Could it be that Sister Violet Orchid actually had a crush on Brother Slayer’s Heart? But why would Burning Rose and the other ladies say that she was Scarlet Bauhinia’s girlfriend?

‘But...

‘Doesn’t Slayer’s Heart already have a family... and a child?!

‘Oh my god!

‘It’s too complicated!’

Qin Ruo shook his head, deciding not to put too much thought into it. It was these kinds of boy-girl love stories that were the most dangerous. He already had deep feelings about it. It would not do if he became nosy and stuck his nose into other people’s business.

At that point, Slayer’s Heart had already unleashed more than ten skills onto the Darkshadow Archdemon and they were proving to be very effective. He was thrown off his feet and his MP dropped to the bottom of his MP bar.

“Do it now!”

With a low roar, Slayer’s Heart launched Dragon’s Ascension, striking and pushing the Darkshadow Archdemon two steps backward!

Having followed Slayer’s Heart for several months now, Little Apple’s understanding of him was not something that could be easily done by just anyone. She had already rushed to the side much earlier on, ready at any moment. As Slayer’s Heart gave his command, the Thunderslash that was fully charged struck the tip of her sword like a thunderbolt from the clear sky above and hit the Darkshadow Archdemon like a bolt of lightning.

At the same time, Burning Rose, iLittle Arrow, and Violet Orchid made their moves at that very moment.

Firegod’s Fury!

Lunarshackle!

Sacred Hammer!

Immediately, Qin Ruo responded to the situation with accuracy. The Snow Eagle followed closely as it soared across the sky with an ear-piercing cry and locked its claws onto the waist of the Darkshadow Archdemon...

Target hit! Caused 248 Damage to Darkshadow Archdemon!

The moment Qin Ruo scored a hit, Slayer’s Heart let out a thunderous roar.

“Good!”

With replenished Potions, Slayer’s Heart swiftly re-entered his zone and unleashed consecutive strikes as he had before.

Taunt!

A backswing strike!

Charge! Heavy Strike! Dragon’s Ascension...

Witnessing how Slayer’s Heart, in his zone, suppressed the Darkshadow Archdemon to the point that the monster could not even lift its head, Qin Ruo subconsciously compared Dark Annihilator with the former once again.

Dark Annihilator. One with skills as bewitching as he was capable of shocking people to their core. Among the players who loved showing off their skills, he was the one who stood out. That was because the style of his skills appeared to have been created by himself. Besides looking good, the practicality of his skills was exceptional.

On the other hand, Slayer’s Heart used a completely different style of playing...

At first glance, his attacks looked no different than his usual play—the same old combo strikes. His speed was not even up to par with his normal momentum. But, exactly because he used those plain and simple attacks, in addition to him having mastered the knowledge of every part of the Darkshadow Archdemon, Slayer’s Heart was able to focus the points of his attacks on the enemy. With extreme precision and excellent timing, the additional effects in his attacks gave maximum damage, totally subduing the Darkshadow Archdemon.

Then came the thought, which one of the two champions, both with absolutely different styles, would come out victorious in a battle?

With that in mind, Qin Ruo suddenly took a quick side glance at Dinosaucerer who was not too far from him. He was completely focused on the impressive combo performed by Slayer’s Heart onto the Darkshadow Archdemon. His eyes gleamed with a strange light, making what was on his mind unclear to his onlookers.

As Qin Ruo changed his line of sight, his eyes swept to the direction of Brother Da who was responsible for being a lookout at the back.

Brother Da’s thoughts from watching Slayer’s Heart combat skills were also on the obscure side. It was also unknown if he would still be able to keep up with his continual boasting of his battle skills and durability to the female colleagues back at the office...

However!

Just then, Qin Ruo felt an intense chill up his chest!!

Without realizing when, three bizarre black shadows emerged within the range of his Elemental Perception. One of them was hiding in the shadows not ten meters from Brother Da, while the other two were hiding behind two giant trees that were in close proximity to the other party members. Carefully scanning the battleground, one of the two had a mask on, revealing only eyes and a little of the side of the face. The last one was cautiously gulping down Potions... If it were not for his subtle movements, even Qin Ruo would not have noticed the three uninvited guests lurking in the dark!

Enemy League!

Qin Ruo quietly took a breath in as the words formed in his mind.

Realizing that the opposition did not mean to make their moves just yet, he was able to calm himself down and not make a move or sound. A few thoughts flashed through his mind at a quick pace. As much as he could, he tried to act oblivious by turning his eyes to the center of the battlefield. Although he had discovered the three Bandits by his Elemental Perception just now, he had not crossed eyes with them. So, there was no danger of having the opposition alerted of his knowledge yet.

The three Bandits had concealed their presences so well as they stealthily hid outside the range of the battlefield without a single sound. Even Brother Da and Gold Digger Babe were not aware of them. Judging only by their ability to do so, the Bandits appeared to be at a level higher than any other Bandit Qin Ruo had ever come across.

Furthermore!

Their patience was remarkable. Not one move did they make. They should be waiting for the final moment—the moment when Darkshadow Archdemon would collapse and perish.

Qin Ruo focused his mind on that thought. So, he did not immediately inform everyone in his party about the bad news. He made a guess as to why the opposing team had not made a move. It was most probably because they did not have the confidence to take down the Darkshadow Archdemon and the ten of them altogether. It could be due to the existence of the Darkshadow Archdemon there, or also due to the strength that Slayer’s Heart had displayed...

However the issue that Qin Ruo was worried about the most was: Other than those three Bandits, how many more people from the enemy league would be there outside the battlefield? A party? Two parties? Or a whole team?!

Pondering, Qin Ruo stole a quick glance at Slayer’s Heart who was still engaged in the fierce ongoing battle. After confirming that there would not be any imminent danger in the foreseeable short future, he quietly sent Gold Digger Babe a voice message...

Under those circumstances, only Gold Digger Babe would be capable of not instantly exposing the new information of Qin Ruo having found out the existence of the opposing team after receiving it.
