Chapter 632: Selling Out the Top Ten Seats; “Promise”

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Outside the game, many viewers were quite amused by what was shown inside the Mystical Sanctuary through the screen.

In the final half an hour, Dark Flame Steeds had advanced into the Mystical Sanctuary in pairs fearlessly. There were no other Champions except the Fallen Angels in the area; and if there were any surviving Champions, they were quickly killed by the four teams of Fallen Angels.

“These Fallen Angel maniacs.”

Seeing the Angel Faction’s League Leaders and Fallen Angels’ members not sustaining even a scratch and were roaming around aimlessly, countless Demon Faction players had started to criticize the Fallen Angels. Since the Golden Battle Flag was held by Qin Ruo from the start, there were no other player who got to hold the Golden Battle Flag for any period of time. As more and more players were killed, the rankings on the Leaderboard were also changing rapidly.

Originally, there were about fifty men from the Demon Faction on the Leaderboard. They predicted that there should at least be six people entering the top ten spots.

Yet, they did not think that things would turn out so weirdly.

The Demon Faction only had four players who had the most scores and were able to kill, at best, three people in the Sanctuary.

Yet, the Fallen Angels, except for Qin Ruo whose kill count remained stagnant at one person, in the Sanctuary were able to score at least two kills and above. Every single one of them! Especially that Wandering Soul, who had already killed six people and risen up to be the top player.

“This is so hateful!”

Many Demon Faction players were so pissed. Only two out of the four players, who obtained three points, were able to enter the top ten rankings. However, they were, at this moment, killed and kicked out of the Mystical Sanctuary. Even though they too had the same score as the Fallen Angels, but because they had died early, their names were pushed to much lower ranks on the Leaderboard!

At this rate, the Demon Faction could only score one-fifth of the ten Demigod gears.

This was a great humiliation to the Demon Faction players.

Unfortunately for them, in Savior and Sinistress’s opinion, this was merely the beginning of their nightmare.

Although the League Leaders in the Angel Faction were not clashing at all, the battle hadn’t ended yet. The clock was still ticking and there were still twelve points left to score in the Mystical Sanctuary.

Twelve points.

Even if the twelve points were enough to change the rankings drastically, Qin Ruo wouldn’t give anyone the chance to do so—he won’t allow any Demon Faction player acquire those Demigod gears at all.

***

In the final half an hour, the battles in the Mystical Sanctuary had started to subside.

On the platform where the Golden Battle Flag was, six handsome Dark Flame Steeds, carrying their masters, lined up fifty watching at four players fifty meters away from them.

Majestic Hero, Scarlet Bauhinia, Netherclaw, and Black God.

The four biggest icons in the Angel Faction had now gathered. Looking at the Dark Flame Steed riders, they started to chat using creative means of Elemental Manipulation.

“Black God, your score is the lowest. How about this? You let me kill you this once. To compensate, I’ll give you a legendary gear. What say you?” Black ink floated in the air above Scarlet Bauhinia, forming the words he wanted to convey.

Before he was able to complete his sentence, two huge words and several exclamation marks appeared from Black God’s eyes!

“Piss off!!!!”

Black God, still as direct as ever, blurted out his feelings right away.

“Oh, c’mon. This is a good compromise... it’ll benefit us both... just give me one more point and I’ll rise up one rank into the top ten... I could get that Demigod gear from the two stupid Demon Faction players.”

“Why don’t you let me kill you then?”

“That’d work too! I’ll let you kill me if you can give me one set of Tier 5 legendary gears!” Scarlet Bauhinia smiled as he replied confidently.

“Fuck.”

Black God was so speechless; Scarlet Bauhinia knew he wouldn’t agree to this deal.

If Black God were to kill him, he should at least give him two pieces of legendary gears. There were other Veteran Champions too who held only three points. If he were to step past his corpse and rise up to top ten, he couldn’t have Black God go through that easily.

Besides, exchanging two pieces of legendary equipment with a piece of Demigod equipment, this wasn’t really a bad deal at all.

More importantly, he still wasn’t sure just how many Demigod gears Qin Ruo intended to acquire from this tournament.

After all, the Fallen Angels had now taken up most of the top ten spots on the Leaderboard, with seven points under each of their belts. If something were to go wrong, the other Champions who didn’t get to rise up to be top ten could still suddenly clash with the remaining ones if he were to allow himself to be killed now.

And when they were to clash now, that meant that every League Leader that was present would become rivals and go for another round of bloody scuffle.

Majestic Hero and Netherclaw probably were also worrying about the same thing too.

Thus, they too wouldn’t agree to the idea of allowing Scarlet Bauhinia to sacrifice himself.

Then, Black God suddenly had an idea. In a flash, huge words appeared in front of his face.

“Qin Ruo!”

“Two Legendary Gears! Help me get three points!”

As Black God “said” this to Qin Ruo, Netherclaw, Majestic Hero, and Scarlet Bauhinia too turned and looked at the holder of the Golden Battle Flag—Qin Ruo.

As League Leaders, they knew Black God too had pondered a lot before coming up with such a request.

Right now, there were billions and billions of players watching whatever that was happening here via live stream.

Even though he and Qin Ruo were good friends, asking for favors to acquire Demigod gears like this was surely not an honorable thing.

Besides, to make such request he must have great determination.

Demigod gears... if Qin Ruo were to decline his request, it would not just be Black God’s reputation that would be ruined but his entire Black Jail League and Clan’s reputation too.

Still, they understood too.

Now that the five big League Masters of the Angel Faction were here... and yet, Black God was the only one who couldn’t get into the top ten. Missing out this Demigod equipment would badly affect him and his Black Jail League a great deal—other players might even think that they were just some low-class League.

The pressure that Black God had to endure was unimaginable.

Then, they all sighed in relief after seeing Qin Ruo’s response. “I don’t want legendary equipment. I just you to promise me something.”

The words that were floating in the sky surprised all of them.

Not only them but also the players who were watching the live stream.

He agreed?

Qin Ruo had agreed Black God’s request?

To them, the Demigod equipment’s value was far more priceless than the two pieces of legendary equipment. Other than that, the honor and glory and the other prizes were quite undeniably valuable too.

If the Fallen Angels were to lose this one spot on the top ten, it would mean losing some glory of their League.

And yet, Qin Ruo agreed with this request!

It was so unreal!

However, they were also curious about the second part of Qin Ruo’s sentence.

Promise?

What promise?

***

“The City Building System will be launching tomorrow. So, if things go well, we, the Fallen Angels, will head to the Underworld tomorrow and initiate our Project Pioneer! If we need help from you and Black Jail, I expect you to lend us a hand.”

Qin Ruo finally revealed what he needed from Black God.

Everyone was so surprised and impressed by this.

A son of a gun!

It was no wonder that this nameless Aquamancer could rise up quickly to become the fabled Winter Demon.

As everyone was focusing on the Grand Tournament, Qin Ruo had already set his eyes on the City Building and Currency Exchange System.

And they could also infer from his words that the Fallen Angels had seemingly resolved all the prerequisite issues in applying for city building.

If this was the case, trading a piece of Demigod equipment in exchange for Black Jail League’s full support was quite a good deal.

Why?

To establish a city in the Underworld was no child’s play—it required not only a huge amount of manpower, money and logistics, they would need a powerful army that could help them fend off the pesky Undead Hordes.

Before they could finish the city, no one knew just how long a mere clan or league could hold onto their foothold in the Underworld. Other than that, no one knew what other problems might arise when they were constructing their city too.

If the Fallen Angels could enlist the help of another League by trading off a piece of Demigod equipment, that would indeed increase their chances of success in building their city.

***

“This is a great deal. Black God, go on. Say yes.” Scarlet Bauhinia butted into their conversation.

“If you agree, you can not only get into top ten and acquire your Demigod equipment, you can also get to experience the process of building a city in the Underworld. If I were you, I’d say yes.”

“If Brother Scarlet wants to, we too could make a deal...” Qin Ruo said.

“Really?”

Scarlet Bauhinia seemed interested.

“Sure, if you two would help me, I’m certain that our city could be constructed with ease.”

Qin Ruo then “sold” the second seat in the top ten. This further impressed the countless players who were watching the live stream—they were so impressed by how generous and confident the Fallen Angels were.

“Deal!”

Scarlet Bauhinia agreed. Of course, Black Rock also gave him his word.

***

“Bastards!”

“These bunch of motherfuckers!”

Looking at the twelve players trading their “rankings” under the nose of billions of spectators, the two Demon Faction players who were lucky enough to squeeze into the top ten were so pissed that they smashed their wine glasses.

As three Fallen Angels forfeited their ranks and Black God and Scarlet Bauhinia’s scores were raised, the duo had also received the system message. They were now ninth and tenth no more—their rankings had dropped to eleventh and twelfth, officially kissing the Demigod gears goodbye.

***

Other than the duo from the Demon Faction, there were also other people who could only watch these sliding by bitterly.

The developers too were speechless after watching this.

They didn’t think that their carefully planned “Grand Tournament”, the battle of the century, which was meant to celebrate the Currency Exchange System, would be manipulated and exploited by the players, right under their noses.

They sold out the top ten seats under everyone’s nose, via live stream too at that.

And eventually, no one from the Demon Faction got to enter the top ten. The Angel Faction won a landslide victory in the Grand Tournament, with Fallen Angels taking six out of ten of the top ten spots. The other four spots were taken by four other League Leaders.

As the Grand Tournament ended, the never-seen-before Demigod gears were finally revealed!
