Second World Novel

The number of players that Jeanny and Megan brought was still larger than the dread stalkers and Master’s summons. But because of the ambush, they couldn’t react properly and were in a panic when Master’s shadow creatures swarmed at them.

Only Everlasting Heavenly Legends’ core members could still maintain their formation and fight effectively. Additionally, almost half of the core members had special classes bestowed by Jack. Hence, they slowly overcame the dread stalkers and shadow creatures and helped the others regain their balance.

But as they were slowly controlling the situation, they heard screams from behind. They looked back and saw a company of players attacking their rear.

“Where did those players come from?” Megan shouted.

Jeanny also thought that it wasn’t possible they missed such a large group on their way.

“They must have used a group invisibility spell,” Carnelia, Leavemealone’s fairy companion, suspected.

When they checked this ambushing group, they noticed that all of them were from World Maker and all of them had special classes!

They numbered exactly 216 players. The same number of core members to whom Jack had bestowed special classes. These were the 216 players whom Master bestowed the special classes from Liguritudum’s monarch system.

The regular players from the back couldn’t withstand the onslaught from these special-class players. They were again thrown into chaos.

“The Man! Trinity! Take our core members and dealt with those special-class players!” Jeanny ordered. The two gathered the others and headed to the rear.

Jeanny continued shouting commands to bring everyone to order. Suddenly, she felt danger from the side.

*CLANG*

She swiveled and narrowly parried a spear that almost hit her.

“This mana sense you people have is cheating,” Spring Crown said.

He didn’t stop his offensive while speaking. The weapon in his hands continued to change as he attacked. Jeanny was slightly thrown off-balance from Spring Crown’s constantly varied assaults.

One thing that puzzled Jeanny was that Spring Crown had changed back to the same weapons several times. Weapon Master class didn’t give a buff when one changed to the same weapon if three minutes hadn’t passed, but Jeanny could sense the intensity of Spring Crown’s attack didn’t decrease when he changed back to using a spear.

She then used her Inspect and saw that Spring Crown had changed class to Weapon Ruler. This class was a first-class special class, but not the one Master bestowed. Spring Crown gained this special class on his own.

The first skill of this class was Perfect Control. The skill’s duration at its first level was two minutes. During its duration, the limitation of Weapon Master’s weapon switching was taken away. As long as the weapon was switched, the buff would always apply. Additionally, the buff gave additional 30% damage on top of the original buff. Attack speed was also doubled when the skill was active.

“Jeanny, I’ll help you!” A blinding light shot at Spring Crown at the same time Megan’s voice was heard.

Megan also had a special class, Exorcist. It was a normal special class from the Inquisitor class. The first skill of this class was Purging Radiance, which was also the light that currently assailed Spring Crown.

Although Spring Crown was assaulting Jeanny intensely, he was still fully aware of his surroundings. He might not have mana sense but his perception was inhuman. He swiveled just before the light hit and used Absorb Energy. The light was absorbed by his spear. The spear was now glowing.

Spring Crown used the enhanced power to fire his Ki Wave at Megan. Megan parried the wave but was sent reeling back.

“Number one gamer, let me accompany you!” Domon came with a jumping kick.

“Whoa! Number one martial artist! Do I have to fight you again?” Spring Crown parried the kick.

“He is not the number one martial artist!” A shout was heard. Wong came rushing once he saw Domon. It was time to decide who was the better martial artist between them.

But before Wong could reach Domon, a tiger’s roar was heard. Wong jumped back just as a humanoid tiger came punching from above.

“You punk! You still dare to stand before me? Do I not beat you enough?” Wong bellowed. He was very not happy with this interruption.

“Try it,” Leavemealone challenged. In his white tiger emperor form, Leavemealone was much stronger and faster. Even if Wong was a better martial artist, he couldn’t fight Leavemealone with the same ease as before. Not to mention, Leavemealone’s martial expertise had increased by a great deal since the last the two fought.

The two exchanged blows while Domon battled Spring Crown.

“Go,” Domon said to Jeanny.

Jeanny understood they shouldn’t stay here for too long. They needed to accomplish their mission and take out the guild army control platforms. Otherwise, Hydrurond players that were fighting World Maker’s guild soldiers would be wiped out.

Jeanny called Megan and they advanced together, only to be stopped by Master’s winged Feral Tiger and Avatar.

But two figures intercepted the two summoned creatures. They were Mohmed and Ihhi, Domon and Leavemealone’s companions.

As the two kept the tiger and avatar from hindering Jeanny and Megan, a large tiger made of white fire came running past the two women. It then pounced on the shadow creatures in the way, clearing up the path for Jeanny and Megan.

The flaming tiger was the lesser manifestation of Tiger God, which was summoned from Leavemealone’s Lesser Tiger God Amulet.

“Thank you!” Jeanny sent Leavemealone a message as she and Megan followed the flame tiger.

With the tiger’s help, they quickly pierced through the shadow creatures. They then saw that there was still one person ahead in their path, Master.

Master was just standing at the same spot after summoning his minions. He looked at the three incoming adversaries without expression. He pointed one of his magic staff at the flaming tiger. A spell formation formed on the staff’s tip.

The spell was completed after forming seven runes. Jeanny and Megan were ready to face some sort of an offensive spell, but nothing happened. When they were puzzled, they saw the charging tiger ahead of them had come to a complete stop.

The tiger suddenly shook heavily. The flame that formed its body burned wildly as if receiving a large dose of gasoline. The tiger then exploded with a soft boom, turning into small tongues of flames that slowly dispersed into the air.
