MMORPG: The Elementalist

As soon as this malevolent voice was heard, the Berserker immediately regretted it and wished he could slap himself. Who was Tiger Cub? Field Commander of the Twelve Zodiacs League, Tier 5 Supreme Champion! Being an ordinary player of a small clan, he had just loudly spoken against the former in public. If such an act was not considered as looking for trouble, then what was?

‘F*ck!

‘These people sure came fast…’

As soon as the voice fell, a Bowmaster and an Ignis Swordmaster came out from his left and right, and were staring at him with cold eyes that were filled with contempt and bitterness. Quite a number of players next to him saw the Twelve Zodiacs League’s insignia worn by the two men. Upon seeing the emblem, they quickly moved out of the way.

In any case, the Twelve Zodiacs was a Clan directly under its own League. Although not comparable against the Four Great Leagues, it was not one which a player from an ordinary clan could simply provoke.

“Big brothers, I know my mistake. Truly, I spoke without thinking earlier. I didn’t mean it…” The Berserker turned around to face the two players, his eyes filled with remorse as he apologized profusely.

“Hey! We don’t care whether you mean it or not!”

“Since you have the guts to say it, then you must pay the price…”

The word ‘price’ came out!

“Starfury!”

“Fireburst!”

“Rolling Thunder!”

Three consecutive Tier 4 Magic Attacks were launched abruptly, and the Berserker did not even have the opportunity to defend himself. He was killed on the spot after being directly hit by the three spells.

Under the watchful gaze of the surrounding hundreds of players, a member of the Twelve Zodiacs League walked toward the corpse and gave it a kick.

“Has the name and Clan of this idiot been noted down?”

The Bowmaster next to him nodded.

“Good! Convey the information to the Hunter Team. Hunt him down for three days and kill on sight!” The grim tone and meaning of the words spoken made many players in the vicinity shiver…

A single speech that resulted in a three-day manhunt against him. It was certain that the guy in question would be regretting it deeply.

Yet the behavior of the Twelve Zodiacs was really too much…

“Big brother, that person already apologized in that manner. They still killed him and further issued a warrant to hunt him down for three days. Isn’t that going a bit overboard?” A very sweet voice suddenly rang from the crowd.

“To establish their might among rookie players—punish one as an example to others. It is just like the Twelve Zodiacs’ code of conduct.”

There wasn’t any deliberate lowering of the voice earlier, which had been clearly transmitted into the ears of the many players present, including members of the Twelve Zodiacs who were enjoying the thrill of controlling the life or death of others.

“Oh.”

Being upgraded from a Clan member to a League member—such sense of accomplishment could only be appreciated by members of the League. The group of Twelve Zodiacs’ members had been worried that just by killing one person was not enough. Thus, having heard what was said, they laughingly turned their heads and shifted their gaze toward the direction of the voice.

“There is another one seeking death; seems like you guys should thank the Hunters in advance.”

Having seen the wolf-like gazes of the Twelve Zodiacs’ members locked in their direction, the players in front of the female player who had spoken earlier quickly retreated. They created an opening, thereby exposing that ignorant female player who had offended the Twelve Zodiacs.

“F*ck!”

“I thought who was seeking death by shooting her mouth off here. It turns out to be a little girl who doesn’t even belong to any clan…”

When they saw an incomparably young girl pouting with her red lips who appeared unperturbed, the members of the Twelve Zodiacs burst out laughing and sneered.

“Hey little beauty, have you grown up yet?”

There were a few guys who seemed to be interested in “Lolis” and started teasing her.

Little Loli had her hands on her hips and spoke to them in a delicate voice.

“Did you f*cking just ask whether I’ve become an adult?”

“Haha!”

“Spirited little beauty, can give me your phone number? When I have time in the evening, how about I call you for a little chat about life?” That guy seemed to be drawn to her.

On the opposite side, the exceptionally exquisite and delicate little beauty nearly drowned in disgust as she scowled deeply…

“You toad! So disgusting.”

“What did you say, you b*tch!” The guy’s expression had changed!

“She said that you’re a toad—so disgusting!” said one man as he walked out from behind the little beauty and repeated the little beauty’s words. His loud voice guaranteed that the players within fifty meters could hear their evaluation of the guy earlier.

“Just now, was it you who said that we went overboard attacking that rookie player? I see that you want to die!” The guy coldly snorted. Having found a reason for himself to take action, he initiated started channeling magic in his hands.

“Stop!”

The magic had yet to complete charging, when a Berserker who appeared to be the leader of the group of Twelve Zodiacs’ members, stood in front of that man and interrupted his comrade’s charging. He spoke to his comrade in a hushed tone, “F*ck! Bright Trickster is one of Savior’s group members!”

The Berserker unexpectedly glared at the Elementalist face to face, as a warning to him so as not to act recklessly. A member of Savior’s group means that the man’s also a member of the Satan’s Salvation League. Was he someone which they could deliberately provoke? When the other party appeared, he had intentionally covered the League’s emblem with his hand; it was probably to let them take the initiative to act…

Thinking of this, the Berserker glanced uneasily at the group of players behind the man—each of them was more savage than to his own group. Their expressions were hostile as they glared in his direction, seemingly bearing ill intention.

Going over to the other side, the Berserker greeted the man by cupping one fist in the other hand, asking, “Is this little sister together with your group?”

“And what about it? Whether she is or not?”

The man crossed his arms, completely ignoring the question and looked at the Berserker in front of him nonchalantly.

The latter had a dull expression. Unfortunately, they had no choice but to stand down. This was what Shaka had once instructed. They could challenge any Clan under the Demon Faction, but must not act against any members of the Four Great Leagues. Compared to tremendous warmongers such as those from the Four Great Leagues, the Twelve Zodiacs was still too far away.

Yet now having been made to lose face in front of so many players, the Berserker was also feeling quite aggrieved. He immediately shifted his target and pointed to the little beauty behind him.

“I have recorded what she has said just now. Based on our Twelve Zodiacs’ Hunter protocol, any insult made to members of the Twelve Zodiacs, even if she’s connected with Satan’s Salvation—just the two offenses earlier are enough for us take action against her.”

The Berserker was attempting to look for a weak point and a way out of the embarrassing situation through the little beauty who was not part of any Clan.

The expression of the man opposite him remained unchanged as he said, “Oh?”

“My sister was just stating the truth; you people have really gone overboard, and…” The man’s gaze turned to the Elementalist behind the Berserker. “That guy behind you is really such a toad—so very disgusting!”

“You…”

“Very well then!” The Berserker finally caught onto a weak point. “Since this was spoken from your mouth, you will pay for your words and deeds. Even if you’re one of Satan’s Salvation members, it doesn’t mean that us Twelve Zodiacs can be bullied!” Taking a quick step back, he gave an order to the person behind him.

“Later I will submit video evidence to the Hunters. Do it! Kill this man and woman! Anyone who gets in the way will be killed together!”

Just as the words were spoken, it gave rise to an abrupt change!

Just above the heads of the group of Twelve Zodiacs’ members, several Aquaramparts suddenly appeared unexpectedly.

Although the magical fluctuations were weak, the Aquarampart suddenly appeared above the heads of the Twelve Zodiac members and in a flash, captured the attention of countless players nearby. Even those Satan’s Salvation players were also revealing strange expressions one after another.

When the group of Twelve Zodiacs members noticed the Aquaramparts above their heads…

“Ice!”

Following a light command echoing from above, the four sides of the Aquaramparts simultaneously underwent a fundamental change, and daunting cold air emitted from within it…

At this time, dozens of members of the Twelve Zodiacs were still feeling slightly baffled. When the Aquaramparts changed in an instant, a group of players suddenly felt a deep uneasiness…

“Explode!”

Boom!

It was too late…

The violent frost and snow which covered the sky instantly swallowed up dozens of Twelve Zodiacs’ members.

Opposite the Twelve Zodiacs, a dozen of Satan’s Salvation players exhibited nervous and solemn expressions at the same time—the people who attacked the Twelve Zodiacs were not of their group.

In the next second!

From high above in the sky, a pair of Angelic Wings broke through the scattered frost and snow as far as the eye can see! In the eyes of the Demon Faction players, Qin Ruo who was covered in blood from head to toe appearing proudly in front of them was like a demon god high above in the snowy sky!

While launching the Frostbarrier, a pair of cold and disdainful eyes swept across the Demon Faction players below as they fled in all directions. Then, his gaze returned to the midst of frost and snow that had yet to dissipate…

***

Amidst the continuous system prompts, the frost and snow gradually dispersed.

A hundred meters away at this moment, only Qin Ruo was left floating above the ground covered with corpses. Grimly, he cast a quick glance at the dozens of the corpses of Twelve Zodiacs’ members disorderly laid out on the ground. Qin Ruo’s gaze fell upon the Violet and Gold equipment on the ground…

The loot were all stored into the Ring of Honor.

After rising into the dark night sky, Qin Ruo started activating Aquamorph and Aqua Wings again. With these abilities, he once again glided down and continued to search for the next batch of Twelve Zodiacs members.

At this time, Dinosaucerer’s surprised voice rang. “F*ck! You damned brat. You didn’t really have a shot but when you did make a move, it has such an unexpected and amazing outcome! More than forty Honor Points! Just a bit more and the Party could be established already! Keep it up! I’ll be going back to the city now to make preparations for the task of Clan application… Hehe, the rest of the Honor Points will be up to you. Right, after the Party has been established, you will receive more Honor Points.”

The eagerness in Dinosaucerer’s voice transmission made Qin Ruo uncertain whether to laugh or cry. Dinosaucerer seemed to have turned him into a machine for accumulating Honor Points. It was no wonder he was from the finance department—his calculative planning was indeed very smooth.

Silently, he picked up the pace with his search.

***

“He is a good person.”

In the midst of a group of Demon Faction’s players who had run far away, such a sentence suddenly came out from the mouth of the little beauty with a sweet voice, leaving many nearby players to be rendered speechless.

Among the group of Satan Salvation’s players, the man whom the little beauty addressed as “big brother” laughed bitterly and said, “Little Dumpling, what you said this time is not right. How do you know that he is a good person?”

The little beauty patted her underdeveloped chest and spoke with full confidence, “He is a member of the Angel Faction. However, he helped to kill only the bad guys, but not us. Doesn’t that make him a good person?”

Well…

This explanation seemed a little reasonable.

However, the man still shook his head and chided his little sister, “It doesn’t matter what his purpose is, or what game he is playing. Members of Angel Faction can only be enemies to us Demon Faction… There are neither good nor bad people. If we hadn’t escaped earlier, there was a possibility that he might even kill us!”

“He won’t!”

The little beauty did not believe it.

At this time, the little beauty’s big brother happened to catch a glimpse of Qin Ruo’s silhouette that had suddenly disappeared into the night sky. Frowning, he quickly yelled at the comrades by his side.

“Plan’s canceled! Return to the city!”
