Chapter 1 Skills, Skills, and More Skills

Desire Ravaging Youth possessed many skills, including escape skills, which allowed him to break free when he was surrounded earlier. He generally avoided using random teleport scrolls unless absolutely necessary, as his supply was dwindling and he needed to conserve them. However, now that Nie Yan had a plan to intercept the people from the Mage Alliance, he wouldn't run anymore.

He surveyed the surrounding terrain. Behind him were towering cliffs, and the open space nearby was devoid of vegetation, making it suitable for a melee.

Desire Ravaging Youth stopped and looked back. Figures emerged from the forest, filling his vision. They had blocked his path.

"Damn, kid, where do you think you're going to run now!" Several warriors grinned menacingly as they surrounded Desire Ravaging Youth from all directions.

Desire Ravaging Youth glanced not far away, where two figures in black cloaks emerged from the dense forest. Those two guys were from the Wild Wolves Studio!

Si Kong and Gambler of the Wild Wolves Studio watched from a distance, showing no intention of approaching. As for the thief, Blood Fiend, his whereabouts were unknown.

Desire Ravaging Youth grew anxious. If those guys didn't come closer, Nie Yan and the others might arrive and they might escape. How could he lure them over?

The warriors from the Mage Alliance were getting closer and closer, entering Desire Ravaging Youth's attack range. The atmosphere grew tense.

Rings of magical energy swirled around Desire Ravaging Youth's staff, emitting a devouring glow.

"Gambler, if we don't go over there, those idiots from the Mage Alliance probably won't be able to handle that elite element mage from the Powerful Bulls Alliance," Si Kong frowned. He knew how powerful a mage like Desire Ravaging Youth could be when unleashed. Desire Ravaging Youth could take down a person with one or two spells, and his crowd control skills were certainly numerous. Even if he was surrounded, he wouldn't be helpless, and could at least take down seven or eight people from the Mage Alliance.

"Don't you find it a little strange? He could easily use a random teleport scroll to escape, there's no need for him to stay here," Gambler said. In his experience, players of Desire Ravaging Youth's caliber always carried random teleport scrolls. But Desire Ravaging Youth didn't seem to be in a hurry to escape, as if he had something to rely on. Wasn't he worried about being locked down by the Dark Priest's War Shackles?

Hearing Gambler's words, Si Kong also felt something was off. "Could it be that he just happened to run out of random teleport scrolls?"

"Let's wait and see!"

Instead of approaching Desire Ravaging Youth, they let the people from the Mage Alliance try to kill him.

As for the thief, Blood Fiend, he hadn't appeared at all. Gambler and Si Kong were quite wary of him. They had never had any contact with this organization called Blood Fiend, only hearing that the five members had nearly succeeded in assassinating Nie Yan before.

Initially, they hadn't paid much attention to Blood Fiend, but the thief's strength earlier had surprised them. They were curious about this mysterious force. They couldn't order the thief around, after all, their strength was about equal. He wondered where that guy was. If he were willing to take action, Desire Ravaging Youth probably wouldn't gain much advantage. They were happy to play it safe.

Charge! Charge! Charge!

Three warriors from the Mage Alliance charged towards Desire Ravaging Youth.

"Little brat, watch how Grandpa deals with you!" One of the warriors from the Mage Alliance said gruffly.

Overestimating themselves! Desire Ravaging Youth sneered. If he encountered these three warriors in the wild, he could easily toy with them to death.

Desire Ravaging Youth cast a shield on himself, and a spell left his hand as he quickly ran to the side. Then another spell left his hand.

With a bang, the spell struck one of the warriors, causing a damage number of over 3000 to float above his head. His health suddenly dropped to only 20%. He was startled by the terrifying magic damage!

Just as he was about to stop and wait for the healers and paladins behind him, another spell shot towards him. He shuddered and quickly rolled on the ground, dodging Desire Ravaging Youth's attack. He broke out in a cold sweat. A healing spell landed on him, restoring his health.

Desire Ravaging Youth knew that he couldn't kill these people with this kind of attack. He tried to stall for time, trying to lure the two people from the Wild Wolves Studio over.

The two warriors charged to Desire Ravaging Youth's side and were about to attack, but Desire Ravaging Youth pushed them away with an Anti-Magic Aura, and continued running, casting spells as he went.

Many others from the Mage Alliance also flanked him, surrounding the area tightly.

Desire Ravaging Youth was a little anxious. The two people from the Wild Wolves Studio didn't seem to be moved at all, maintaining a great distance from him. Those two guys probably sensed the danger, what terrifying senses! Desire Ravaging Youth thought, I'll risk it, I'll kill a few people first, and then have Nie Yan and the others come and save me.

A Dark Priest from the Mage Alliance in the distance used the War Shackles skill, locking onto Desire Ravaging Youth, making it impossible to use a random teleport scroll.

Desire Ravaging Youth also went on a rampage, unleashing an Ice Roar.

Ice Roar was an extremely powerful attack skill, with a chanting time of about 5 seconds. It was generally not used in very intense battles, because the chanting time was too long and it was easy to be interrupted by others. However, Desire Ravaging Youth had a special instant-cast magic, which could instantly reset the cooldown time of a certain skill. Combining the two skills, the effect of Ice Roar immediately became powerful.

An instant-cast Ice Roar was enough to make everyone tremble with fear.

A giant ice ball shot out, instantly transforming into a sky full of ice cones, sweeping across everyone nearby. Those who were swept by the ice cones were immediately covered in layers of frost, their speed drastically reduced, and damage numbers of several hundred floated above their heads. Although not much, the dense ice cones swept across the area, killing a paladin and leaving five or six people around him with only a sliver of health.

Rays of white light fell on the warriors in front, restoring their health.

Desire Ravaging Youth didn't stop there, an Ice Spike shot straight towards one of the warriors, sending him flying with a bang. The warrior's health reached the bottom and he fell to the ground.

The warriors and paladins who weren't killed were moving too slowly due to the frost, and were left far behind by Desire Ravaging Youth.

Melee players couldn't get close to Desire Ravaging Youth, but the dense firepower from the mages of the Mage Alliance behind him made things difficult for him.

While running and dodging, he still took five spells, his shield shattered, and his health was about to reach the bottom. He endured the pain and quickly drank a high-grade instant recovery potion, his health instantly returning to full. Items like high-grade recovery potions were very scarce, and the Powerful Bulls Alliance supplied them in limited quantities. Only top-level players could get some, so he had to use them sparingly.

He cast an Ice Shield on himself again and dodged to the side.

Just then, he suddenly felt something, and his heart skipped a beat. There's a thief!

A cold light stabbed down towards the back of his head, extremely sharp. In the blink of an eye, Desire Ravaging Youth teleported, dodging the fatal blow.

Looking back at the original spot, a thief appeared, it was the thief, Blood Fiend!

The thief missed his attack and was slightly stunned, not expecting Desire Ravaging Youth to react so quickly.

Desire Ravaging Youth turned around and cast an Ice Judgment, the overwhelming ice covering the thief.

The thief used Gale Steps to dodge his attack and disappeared from his sight.

Desire Ravaging Youth felt that the thief hadn't gone far, he should be nearby, staring at him, and once he had any flaws, he would come up and give him a fatal blow.

Being stared at by such a thief, Desire Ravaging Youth also felt great pressure. The two people from the Wild Wolves Studio hadn't come over, and in a while, he might be killed. He really couldn't wait any longer. To be on the safe side, he should call Boss Nirvana over!

"Boss Nirvana, hurry up and come over, I can't hold on anymore," Desire Ravaging Youth said anxiously, "The firepower from the Mage Alliance is a bit too fierce."

"How many people do you need over there?" Nie Yan asked, switching to the Ring of Acceleration.

"If you come, one person is enough." Desire Ravaging Youth clearly knew Nie Yan's strength, as long as Nie Yan was there, everything could be solved.

Nie Yan thought for a moment, if it was just him and Desire, the target would be smaller. The others should continue doing their own things, he alone was enough.

Nie Yan used a Blink skill. The environment in front of him changed, and when he opened his eyes again, it was a chaotic battlefield.

Desire Ravaging Youth was running while releasing attack magic, battling with the people from the Mage Alliance.

Nie Yan's sudden appearance stunned the people around him for a moment, and a player from the Mage Alliance exclaimed, "Damn, the Sword of Zennarde, it's Crazy Thief Nirvana!"

The Sword of Zennarde in Nie Yan's hand was too conspicuous!

Gambler and Si Kong in the distance were shocked when they saw Nie Yan.

"Crazy Thief Nirvana? Why is he here?" Gambler said in shock. Nie Yan's appearance was completely sudden, catching everyone off guard.

"It seems like he teleported over, they have teleport skills!" Si Kong said with a sinking heart.

With Crazy Thief Nirvana appearing here, things became a little difficult.

"Will they have other people coming?" Gambler asked worriedly.

"I don't know?"

Just then, Nie Yan entered stealth, disappearing from sight, causing the players of the Mage Alliance to feel a chill in their hearts.
