The Almighty Ring

As Cosmic Dragon waved the staff in his hands, a beam of holy light appeared. A beneficial status appeared above the heads of players beneath him.

Celestial Summoning: You are now a mercenary of God’s army. All of your contributions in fighting against the Nephilim race will be rewarded. This effect lasts for twenty-four hours!

As the beneficial status appeared above the Light Faction’s players’ heads, the Celestial race’s members no longer had red names above their heads. Instead, their names had turned green, and these members would no longer attack the players.

Cosmic Dragon’s skill was similar to Jiang Fei’s right to issue quests. However, it seemed much more powerful but also more limiting. Although it allowed Light Faction’s players to enter Heaven without being attacked, it did not provide special rewards the way Jiang Fei could to his own guild’s members.

In spite of that, with Cosmic Dragon’s skill, the Celestial race had an increased number of armed forces. The addition of Light Faction players had put the Nephilim race’s army in the valley under much greater pressure.

“Follow me!” Cosmic Dragon shouted as millions of Light Faction players charged into the battlefield.

“Kill them!” The Light Faction players were extremely excited.

Bang…

The excited Light Faction players immediately cast three small-scale Seal Curse Spells. Although the narrow valley restricted the effects of their Seal Curse Spells, they were still able to kill tens of thousands of elite Nephilim troops.

As the players’ levels had increased and were not that much lower than the NPCs, the players’ Seal Curse Spells were able to deal quite a significant amount of damage.

“This can’t go on!” Jiang Fei frowned. He did not know when Elder Prince Otis would return with backup from The Abyss. However, if he allowed the players to charge into the valley, the hundreds of thousands of Nephilim soldiers would not be able to hold them off for long.

“General Yisuke, do you have any plans to hold the enemy off?” Jiang Fei turned toward the Nephilim commander next to him.

“Master, I have arranged for some of the troop leaders to cast Seal Curse Spells. I believe this wave of enemies will be pushed back very soon,” Yisuke replied.

“Ahhh!” Jiang Fei sighed. Although the Seal Curse Spells of several Nephilim Overlords could delay their enemies’ progress for a while, the Seal Curse Spells had very long cooldown periods. Their opponents were players and not just NPCs.

NPCs would disappear after they died. If the Celestial race wanted to continue attacking, they would have to transport soldiers from afar. As such, the Nephilim race would have an opportunity to fight back. However, the players were different. After their death, they would revive in a nearby Celestial city. They could return to the battlefield in a short amount of time. Therefore, the Nephilim Overlords’ Seal Curse Spells were only short-term solutions.

Indeed, after the Nephilim race had used their Seal Curse Spells, the Light Faction players were pushed back somewhat. However, in less than ten minutes, the Light Faction players had regained their momentum in charging forward.

“Holy crap. We won’t be able to hold them off for much longer!” Jiang Fei frowned. Otis had not yet returned with backup soldiers yet. From the looks of things, the number of Nephilim soldiers being killed by Light Faction players was greater than the number of those teleported into the valley. Fortunately, the valley had a very narrow entrance. Otherwise, the Nephilim soldiers would have been wiped out a long time ago.

“It seems like I must take part now!” Jiang Fei decided. Although he could not single-handedly kill millions of players, Jiang Fei could still delay their progress for a while.

“Hey! Cosmic Dragon, get your ass over here!” Jiang Fei rode the Evol. Skygliding Dragon into the sky as he sent a message through the regional channel.

“Woah…” As Jiang Fei’s voice filled the battlefield, the Light Faction players subconsciously backed away from the battlefield. The Nephilim soldiers took this opportunity to organize their formations.

The players backed off mainly because they respected the strongest experts. Jiang Fei clearly had intentions to challenge Cosmic Dragon in a solo fight. Naturally, with two strong opponents fighting against each other, the less significant soldiers would have to back off.

“Hmm…” Cosmic Dragon frowned. He was secretly unwilling to accept Jiang Fei’s challenge. After all, he was aware of how strong Verdure Glider’s capabilities were. Although Cosmic Dragon had improved a lot since their last fight, he was still not confident that he could defeat Verdure Glider.

However, Cosmic Dragon did not really have a choice. He was a Professional player who depended on the game for his livelihood. If he did not even dare to accept Verdure Glider’s challenge, his reputation would be more severely impacted than if he lost a battle. A Professional player’s reputation was directly correlated to his source of income.

Therefore, despite Cosmic Dragon’s unwillingness, he had to accept Jiang Fei’s challenge. Moreover, Cosmic Dragon would have to do his best to showcase his capabilities and skills. That was the only way he could earn money from his fans.

“Verdure Glider, do you think you alone can stop our millions of soldiers?” Cosmic Dragon jeered. Although he sounded confident, it was only because he was counting on defeating Jiang Fei with their larger number of players.

“Hehe, your equipment looks much cooler than the last time we met!” Jiang Fei responded with equal jest. He was secretly emphasizing the last time Cosmic Dragon had been beaten up by him.

“Hmph! Verdure Glider, don’t be too cocky. I will make sure you die here today!” Cosmic Dragon was indeed infuriated by Jiang Fei. His previous defeat against Jiang Fei was the greatest embarrassment in the history of his professional gaming career.

“Hehe, that will depend on your capabilities,” Jiang Fei smiled.

“Holy crap. When will these two start fighting?” Some of the Light Faction players were getting impatient.

Cosmic Dragon was not in a rush to initiate the battle because he was not confident that he could defeat Jiang Fei. He was thinking of ways to fight Jiang Fei in a group so that his reputation would not be affected.

Meanwhile, Jiang Fei was trying to buy time for the Nephilim race. Therefore, he was also not in a hurry to start the fight. After all, he might be able to kill Cosmic Dragon with ease, but he could not kill the millions of players on the ground.
