Chapter 114: Chapter 113: Five Guilds Clash, A Mysterious Figure Picks Up the Spoils!
[🎉 Shoutout to Damien_Hohn for joining patreon. Thank you very much.🤗]
Faced with the sudden assault by the Infinite Guild, the three major guilds were caught completely off guard.
This was because they were all under the weakening debuff from the map, leaving their combat power at only 40-50%.
Meanwhile, the Infinite Guild had been lying in wait outside the Ratfolk Tribe, completely unaffected by the debuff.
In this state, the three major guilds stood no chance against the Infinite Guild.
In truth, if the goal were only to deal with the three major guilds, there would be no need for such elaborate schemes.
The Infinite Guild's real target was Zhang Yue.
Swish swish swish swish!
Arrows rained down from the sky, killing several War God Guild members in front of Zhang Yue.
Immediately after, a familiar figure appeared—Infinite Sword Saint, leading a group of Infinite Guild players. They stepped through the rising white light, entering Zhang Yue's line of sight.
Watching Zhang Yue, who was still killing Giant Ratmen, the Infinite Sword Saint crossed his arms, sneering condescendingly. "So, how do you like this big gift we, the Infinite Guild, prepared for you?"
"Wait!" Liu Yao, standing beside him, exclaimed in disbelief. "This tenfold energy buff—did you guys activate it?"
Everyone present was shocked, except Zhang Yue, who remained calm. "Not bad," he said.
The Infinite Sword Saint snorted. "You've lost 60% of your strength. Tell me, what will you use to fight me today?"
Zhang Yue replied casually, "Killing you only requires 10%."
The Infinite Sword Saint's face turned red instantly, left speechless.
Wu Haotian pointed at him and laughed. "Wow, walked right into that one! Hahaha!"
The Infinite Sword Saint shouted angrily, "Shut up! I'll kill you first."
Without further ado, driven by hatred and fury toward Zhang Yue, the Infinite Sword Saint waved his hand and gave the order. "They're only at 40% strength now—kill them all."
In an instant, dozens of Infinite Guild players charged toward Zhang Yue.
Before they could get close, Zhang Yue raised his staff and cast the first spell.
[S-rank rare skill: Hell's Judgment]
Whoosh!
A massive dark-red barrier formed around the charging Infinite Guild members.
The next second, beams of death light rained down randomly, striking dozens of players.
Each hit displayed damage numbers around 600.
In the past, this skill would have instantly wiped out entire groups.
Seeing the reduced damage now, the Infinite Sword Saint burst into laughter. "Hahaha, can't do it anymore, huh?"
"What's wrong? Is this all you've got?"
"Weren't you saying 10% strength was enough to kill me? Well, come on then!"
He pointed at Zhang Yue again, barking orders. "Everyone, kill him!"
From all directions, more and more Infinite Guild players closed in on Zhang Yue.
But Zhang Yue remained calm.
"They're all here now?"
"Then, let the hunt begin."
A flash of killing intent appeared in his eyes.
The next moment, Zhang Yue raised his staff, locked onto the enemies swarming from all sides, and launched his counterattack.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Heavenly Fire Blaze + Frozen World + Thunder Wrath + Divine Fire Tribulation.
Four S-rank single-target skills struck four players, dealing over 5000 damage each, instantly killing them.
At the same time, the Apocalypse Black Dragon swooped over the crowd with its overwhelming presence. With a thunderous roar, it unleashed a fiery breath, dealing over 3000 AoE damage, severely injuring over a dozen Infinite Guild members.
Following up with an S-rank skill, Apocalypse Dragon Breath, the dragon obliterated them all.
The Dark Skeleton King used its Shadow Sword Formation to trap several enemies. Inside the formation, its S-rank skills Super Light Slash and Heavy Strike finished them off one by one.
On another front, Lightning Mage Lin Tian, with his mastery of lightning, supported Flame Knight Wu Haotian, who pushed the Infinite Guild back step by step.
Their damage output remained astonishingly high.
This scene wiped the smile off the Infinite Sword Saint's face. "How is this possible? Wasn't your damage weakened? Why is it back to normal all of a sudden?"
Wu Haotian chuckled at him. "Our guild master sent you a little gift. Surprised?"
The Infinite Sword Saint's jaw dropped. "What... what do you mean?"
Lin Tian adjusted his glasses with a finger and explained, "The Fifth World has more than one specific map where the tenfold energy buff can be activated. Apart from the Ratfolk Tribe, there's also a Level 35 map."
"How could a solo player have so many coins, and why would they choose to activate the buff in the hardest Level 38 map?"
"Isn't it obvious? It was a setup to weed out the solo players and prepare the stage for us."
Hearing this, the Infinite Sword Saint stammered, "So you knew all along this was a trap?"
"We figured it out as soon as the system announcement appeared," Zhang Yue replied nonchalantly. "Who came up with this lousy idea to deal with me? Gotta say, it's pretty dumb."
Still in disbelief, the Infinite Sword Saint asked, "But only the buff activator has the right to lift the debuff's weakening effect. How did you do it?"
"Simple," Lin Tian said. "We activated another tenfold energy buff ourselves."
Wu Haotian added, "Here's a fun fact: activating the same buff again doesn't trigger any announcements. Got it, little Sword Saint?"
The Infinite Sword Saint staggered back two steps.
What they thought was their hunting ground had turned out to be their graveyard.
Looking up again, he met Zhang Yue's cold, killing gaze, sending chills down his spine.
At the same time, Zhang Yue spent coins to lift the debuffs on all the members of the three major guilds.
Though Zhang Yue was the main force, defeating the highly leveled, well-equipped Infinite Guild would require the support of the three guilds.
With the debuffs lifted, the three guilds' players fought back like they were on steroids!
Centered around Zhang Yue, the Apocalypse Black Dragon, and the Dark Skeleton King, their S-rank skills decimated the Infinite Guild in waves.
With the Flame Knight and Lightning Mage providing support, the rare-class players' overwhelming power swept across the battlefield!
As the Infinite Guild members fell one by one, the ground was littered with their dropped gear, coins, and potions.
The intense battle left everyone too busy to gather these spoils.
But amidst the chaos, a shadow darted through the battlefield like lightning.
This figure didn't fight but focused solely on... picking up items!
Everything dropped by the four guilds' fallen members was swiftly swept into this figure's bag.
Wu Haotian noticed the issue first, glancing down. "What the—why's the ground so clean?"
"Who the hell is looting all this?"
Just as he said this, a Infinite Guild warrior was blasted away by the Apocalypse Dragon's Dragon Explosion, landing right in front of Wu Haotian. The warrior twitched twice before vanishing into white light.
Plop!
A pair of golden greaves fell where the warrior had died.
This time, Wu Haotian watched as the greaves were snatched away by a lightning-fast shadow.
"Damn loot goblin. Who is this guy?"
Wu Haotian shouted at Zhang Yue, "Guild master! Someone's stealing our loot—do something. They're taking everything."
Of course, Zhang Yue had long since noticed the black-cloaked figure.
Whoosh!
With an S-rank Teleport, Zhang Yue instantly appeared in front of the fleeing figure.
Two Infinite Guild warriors in the way were stomped into the ground by the Apocalypse Black Dragon.
The black-cloaked figure tried to turn and escape but found their retreat blocked.
Behind them stood none other than the Infinite Guild leader, Phantom Assassin Infinite Phantom.
Both Zhang Yue and Infinite Phantom extended their hands toward the cloaked figure.
"Hand it over."
