Chapter 319: A Failed Trick, Fateless’ Real Identity
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
More than twenty Angel Faction players joined the battle. Seeing this, survivors from the Demon Faction had lost their morale and were no longer capable of fighting. The Amethyst Orc and Angel Faction players quickly defeated some Demon Faction players who were guarding the entrance.
Little Poochie went after MrHandsome and the last few unfortunate Demon Faction players. Loud cries lingered in the air. Just as the last Demon Faction player MrHandsome was smashed into the ground by little Poochie, a group of Angel Faction players broke out of the Mausoleum and stared at the Amethyst Orc that had regained its composure and suddenly fell silent.
The sudden outburst of battle only lasted a few seconds.
Their gazes swept past the surroundings and were fixed on the Tier 5 Boss. In awe of the Amethyst Orc, they wondered who was capable of summoning such a powerful monster.
None of the four players informed by the Violet Orchid had actually came to their rescue—Slayer’s Heart and Steel Dude from Bauhinia Clan of the Bauhinia League, Dark Annihilator from Carefree Clan of the Netherspirit’s Claw League and some Black Jail Clan players.
Just as the group of Angel Faction players were contemplating, Violet Orchid who was closely guarded by a few Bauhinia Clan warriors stepped out from the crowd. Her glorious eyes swept across the behemoth that stood before her and landed on the Shadowfox—little Poochie leaped toward her.
‘What an adorable Pet.’ That was everyone’s first impression, including the Violet Orchid.
A tiny little body with a fluffy tail like a squirrel’s and a pair of shiny eyes. It did not look like a powerful monster that was capable of killing the Tier 4 players. It was Qin Ruo’s Level 31 Pet.
“Qin Ruo?”
The name suddenly crossed their minds. It was the name in the Clan’s channel. He had always been with the Slayer’s Heart and Violet Orchid. The reinforcement was actually not…
Thinking of this, a group of people looked at Violet Orchid in surprise. Simply no one knew when Violet Orchid resorted to Qin Ruo and since when this little brother who had always need protection from others possessed such outstanding monster and pet.
Just as everyone was wondering, little Poochie leaped out of the crowd and plunged into Violet Orchid’s warm embrace. Little Poochie seemed to have learned from its experience and had a good time nestling itself in Snowleaf’s bosom. Startled, a group of male players around them was green with envy. How they wished they could be in this little fox’s position.
The Violet Orchid held little Poochie with great pleasure and patted its head gently.
“Naughty.”
“Squeak squeak…” Little Poochie raised its head and whimpered a little out of protest.
However, it did not work. Violet Orchid gave a quick light tap on its head. Covering its head, little Poochie suddenly realized.
‘This beauty is much tougher than Snowleaf.’
Violet Orchid raised her head in satisfaction and looked straight as she asked softly, “Little Qin, still not coming out? Do you need me to welcome you?”
An awkward cough came from the opposite side of the open space. “Cough. Sister Violet, you are teasing me. I wouldn’t dare!”
The players behind Violet Orchid were alarmed by Qin Ruo’s voice and went into a defensive formation. As they had never come across Qin Ruo’s character, the only thing that appeared in their mind was Tiger Cub who had left to hunt.
“Calm down. He’s not Tiger Cub.” The Violet Orchid waved her hand dismissively.
As soon as the words left her mouth, the Amethyst Orc stepped forward and stood in front of Qin Ruo before he could respond. Qin Ruo stepped out Aquamorph, stepping out to the open space from behind the Amethyst Orc. Looking at a group of players who stood stunned behind Violet Orchid, he sighed.
“That’s the thing I was worried about.”
The Amethyst Orc worked extremely well with Qin Ruo. He appeared with the perfect timing like in an amazing magic show. Even Violet Orchid who had accustomed to his Aquamorph was dumbfounded at what had just happened before her. It was like a spectacular show.
“Was it a trick to deceive Tiger Cub? Well, forget about it. How did you know that I was stranded here?”
Violet Orchid relaxed her guard with a strong urge to know the answer. She knew it from the sequence of the Amethyst Orc’s attacks. She had only posted a thread in the internal forum of the league and did not inform Qin Ruo. So how did he know? Why would he be in the same area?
“Sister Violet, you are too smart. My pride is hurt.”
Startled by Violet Orchid’s words, Qin Ruo rubbed his nose as a dull nagging feeling tugged at his heart. He came through all these alone to save Violet Orchid but at the same time, he also attracted Tiger Cub by doing this. But he never knew his intention was so obvious and that even Violet Orchid noticed.
Violet Orchid glared defiantly at Qin Ruo as she said, “Do you think Tiger Cub would not know it was you hiding with your Aquamorph? You have underestimated his vigilance. The well-known Savage Tiger Cub would never show up without absolute confidence in victory. Or you really have no idea of the how destructive the strength of a Tier 5 Miniboss controlled by a player is? It is the strength that even a Level 49 Bandit with the highest tier Dark Gold equipment could hardly handle.”
“Uh…”
Qin Ruo stopped rubbing his nose as he smiled wryly. “I thought he would take the advantage of the chaos and kill you. But he did not even with the fall of so many Demon Faction players. He is much more patient than I thought.”
Qin Ruo was right.
He came across the importance of a Radiant Priest in the fifth level of the Graveyard of the Gods from the Mad Dog, the Bowmaster from Bauhinia Clan. From the battle between Supreme Champions to getting the Divinity from the super powerful and devastating Boss, even these almighty and omnipotent Supreme Champions resorted to external forces.
Although Divinity was of no use to the warriors below Tier 5, everyone seemed to be attracted to it. As the strength of the Tier 5 Supreme Champions was more or less the same, a supporting Priest could increase and extend the combat power of these Tier 5 Supreme Champions.
Knowing this, the League Master of the Seven Great Leagues from both Angel and Demon
Factions had instructed all league members to kill the Radiant Priests from the opposite faction and at the same time escort their own Radiant Priests to the fifth level of the Graveyard of the Gods.
That was the reason Violet Orchid was stranded in the tomb, ambushed by Tiger Cub and
other Demon Faction players.
As he knew Tiger Cub’s strong desire of killing Violet Orchid, Qin Ruo moved his focus to
the vicinity of the tomb in hope of killing Tiger Cub before others did. But he quickly knew it from Violet Orchid that it was a fruitless attempt. Even the Violet Orchid had spotted his trick, let alone the cunning king of Bandits, Tiger Cub.
“You all can come out now.”
Frustrated, Qin Ruo sent a signal to his comrades hiding not far away. Then, he turned to
tell Violet Orchid the whole story, from saving Mad Dog and Bird Hunter from the Demon Factions players to the encounters in Barren Domain and the tomb. Hearing his story, Violet Orchid and the players behind her stood stunned and looked at him in horror. This guy was insanely daring to mess with a Tier 5 Elite Boss.
“Eh? Is that your friend?” Violet Orchid asked as six players appeared in the distance behind the tomb.
This little kiddo was really something. In just a few days, he had joined such a strong party with well-equipped Elites. There were even players of the Field Commander rank in the party.
Before Violet Orchid finished her sentence, an unknown figure appeared next to Qin Ruo
spoke loudly, “I told you that you will definitely scare Tiger Cub away. Wasn’t I right? Hmph! Where
is that ferocious battle? You took care of all this alone, didn’t you?” Fateless grumbled as if he had lost his precious Persian cat.
Qin Ruo was rendered speechless and quickly changed the topic. “Oh, let me introduce to you. This is a Fateless, a Level 49 Bandit.”
“Fateless?!”
“You are Fateless?”
Just as Qin Ruo was about to introduce his other comrades, the players behind Violet Orchid exclaimed in shock. Startled, Qin Ruo pointed at the frivolous Fateless who was looking at the sky and asked, “What’s wrong? Is this guy famous?”
The players behind Violet Orchid did not answer. Subjugator walked over, patted his shoulder, and smilingly asked, “You have never heard of Fateless?”
Hearing this, Qin Ruo’s eyes grew curious as he stared at Fateless.
“Hmm… Fateless, it seems like you are not famous enough. Qin Ruo has never heard of you. The Bandit Lord!”
