Chapter 1904: Chapter 1904: Assassin Hall
The ephemeral splendor remained unmoved and said lightly, "Are you too naïve, or is your vision too narrow? As long as I win now, that’s the greatest gain for me. Yet, you try to anger me with such petty tricks, or make me lose my calm. I can only give you two words, hehe."
Mafei blushed, but at this moment, his state was surrounded by blood energy, and others couldn’t tell. However, the words of ephemeral splendor were incredibly hurtful, clearly looking down on Mafei, considering him not even in the same league.
He always held himself in high esteem, the top player in the guild, adored in both the guild and the team, not to mention the guild leader; even their boss treated him kindly.
Yet, from the tone of ephemeral splendor, he detected disdain, which made him furious, wishing to tear ephemeral splendor apart.
However, he was rational, understanding the importance of these three matches, so he did not act recklessly, even though he wanted to provoke the opponent; now he himself was provoked but still suppressed his impulse.
"Very well, you have completely angered me. But your skill is good too, worth my full effort. That was just probing. If you couldn’t even block that move, it wasn’t worth my effort."
As Mafei spoke, a black array appeared beneath his feet, the array glowed and gradually enveloped Mafei, his blood energy surrounded by the black array gradually turned into dark smoke.
"You better go all out. I know people like you well; after defeating others, you claim how great you are, and if you lose, there are all sorts of excuses." Ephemeral splendor sneered and continued, "But I’m curious to see what other powers this so-called Bloodthirsty Battle Mania has."
"You will see." Mafei chuckled coldly, as the glow of the array faded, his figure began to turn illusionary, like a shadowy specter: "You should feel honored, this is the first time I display my true strength and trump cards in public. People assumed I was just Bloodthirsty Battle Mania, because simply using bloodthirsty power was enough to deal with them, but my real elite career and path of strength lie in blood and shadow. Prepare to die, lass."
With Mafei’s words, he transformed into a shadow, separating into several, then dashed towards ephemeral splendor like a charming shadow.
"Just in time for a lesson." Ephemeral splendor’s eyes suddenly turned golden, the light flowed, simultaneously swinging his Horn Shield, accompanied by dazzling golden light, the golden light shield spun out.
"That’s a transformation skill, his attributes have reached racial level." Shadow Dance Berserker said.
"Really thinks it’s a permanent attribute, turns out it’s a transformation boss skill." Tutu pouted and said, "But this mastery over shadows, how does it compare to yours?"
Shadow Dance Berserker said disdainfully, "He still needs arrays to assist his shadow control, just primary mastery, can’t even compare to number three, forget about me and number two."
Yaohu said, "Why are you here?"
Shadow Dance Berserker said, "I’m also watching this side, seems there will be a duel, to see if there’s a chance to step in."
Alice shook her head, "You’ve faded from everyone’s view for a long time, this was discussed beforehand, the Assassin’s Hall is to always remain in the shadows without a chance to make a name. What’s left is the reputation of the Assassin’s Hall, and here you can’t hold it anymore?"
Shadow Dance Berserker smiled wryly, "Really don’t know why Prairie Fire boss set such a rule, fine then, I’m just itching to act, I won’t make a move, just watch."
Shadow Dance Berserker, wearing a mask and completely wrapped in a black robe, with mist swirling around, without Master scouting and appraisal skills, it’s impossible to see who he is.
"The Assassin’s Hall stays in the shadows, we don’t know how many spying enemies have been dealt with by you, your contributions are clear to us." Tutu said seriously, "Back then, you promised big brother to hide your achievements and fame, and he also promised that when it’s time for Divine Enthronement, you will rise to fame. You should get back to your things. Don’t give those people a chance, leave the shadowy enemies to you. The enemies here are ours to handle."
"Alright, little boss, you say it counts." Shadow Dance Berserker’s figure darkened and disappeared in front of everyone.
"Damn, I’m not little." Tutu waved her fist in dissatisfaction.
Everyone burst into laughter. Even though Hai Guotian couldn’t hear what they were saying, seeing the shadowy person come and go, he knew it was someone from the Starfire Assassin’s Hall, someone significant enough to be here.
Though Starfire Assassin’s Hall is not renowned, any guild reaching a certain level knows of it.
Hidden in the shadows, there are many ploys and schemes against Starfire, but they eventually vanish without a trace, the Assassin’s Hall remains unbreakable.
Among high-level players, many tales circulate about Starfire Assassin’s Hall, the most talked-about being their feud with a super guild.
This super guild, upgrading a team, discovered a good leveling spot.
However, there were already quite a few players in that place, and the super guild loved to occupy areas.
A conflict occurred, and a brawl broke out, revealing that besides idle players, there were Starfire players as well.
So they quickly dispatched several teams to outnumber and kill all the players there, Starfire players were few, mostly idle players, and outnumbered, leading to a wipe shortly after the fight began.
Which is quite normal, in-game these things happen every moment, either you kill me, or I kill you.
Yet, this super guild didn’t relent, splitting into two groups, one guarding the bodies, the other the graveyard, with taunts thrown around.
Saying they couldn’t stand Starfire’s nouveau riche attitude, pretending to be kind, feigning benevolence, arguing those guarding the bodies should blame Starfire players, others were implicated by them.
Naturally, Starfire isn’t easy to push around, quickly mobilizing people, resulting in several rounds of conflicts, both having victories and losses, but overall the super guild suffered.
Because of the need to level up, they finally backed off.
This super guild sought to obfuscate matters on forums, taunt, and dispatched numerous thieves, arrogantly announcing a Killing Order, boasting they would kill Starfire’s acting vice-president, Alice, ten times within three days.
Of course, at that time, some mocked on forums, why not assassinate Prairie Fire, as he is the president, the main character, but the super guild ignored it.
Back then, Li Yao had just obtained the Star Bow, having schemed countless players and fought two main gods not long ago, becoming immensely renowned, and with his divine eye, no thief would dare claim to assassinate him.
And it was always Alice handling the Starfire Guild’s affairs, second only to Li Yao in prestige, killing her would tarnish Starfire’s reputation significantly.
In the end, Starfire intermittently uploaded photos and videos of dead thieves on the forums.
It was all first-person perspective, unable to see who made a move, just videos showing each thief being hunted down and killed, and during those three days, Alice remained in the council hall, with even her hem untouched, over five hundred thieves were slain.
Had it been only this, it would just indicate Starfire’s stringent defense, but Starfire also issued a reverse killing order...
