Realm of Myths and Legends

et and darted over to Izroth ’s location without a word as she silently walked on his side, but slightly behind him.

’The rope bridge should not be too far away from here.
After that, the information details become a bit vaguer.
However, if I can obtain a higher grade fire core, it will all be well worth it in the end. ’

Izroth continued on his journey towards the Blazing Tempris Domain.
Though now it was along with some unexpected company he picked up on the way.

…

”This is bad. ” Luna muttered to herself as she activated the skill attached to her ring called Eye of the Wolf.
It allowed her to perceive her surroundings with greater detail and heightened senses.
From the looks of things, there appeared to be no way out.

Luna ’s first thought was that maybe they should have continued to run away when they were already ahead, however, she quickly dismissed that thought.
If they kept running in their previous direction then eventually they would have run into Silent Steps and his group.

Although this situation was bad, it would have been much worse if they were to face that group head on.
At the very least, Luna and her party were familiar with this specific area and held some kind of home-field advantage.

Also, there were still more than twenty elite plant monsters left that they may be able to use to their advantage.
Not to mention the various vine and spore traps that were around.
Now, she just had to hope that Silent Steps and his party were unaware of the surrounding traps in the vicinity.

”You- Let her go! ” Jia scowled as she angrily glared at Savage who had attacked Xun Guiying.

”Hahaha! It ’s funny when someone in your position thinks that they can afford to be concerned about anyone but themselves. ” Savage said as he gave a hearty laugh full of ridicule.

Xun Guiying glared at Savage.
She felt humiliated being pulled before his feet like a ragdoll.
She gripped tightly onto the longbow in her hand and tried to draw an arrow, however, before she could even do so a blade fell directly through her neck.

That blade was followed by a spear and when that spear pierced through her body, Xun Guiying turned into countless particles before dissipating into thin air.
She had been killed!

”Tch, you had to go and ruin the fun.
I was going to let them watch her suffer for a bit, Haishe. ” Savage said to the player next to him.
That player was the one who put the blade through Xun Guiying ’s throat when he saw that she was about to attack.

Luna ’s eyes turned cold as she watched them ruthlessly dispose of Xun Guiying without remorse.
Although she wanted to save her, Luna was unable to get a successful heal off beside the Healing Essence she first used on Xun Guiying.
Obviously, it was not enough to keep her alive, but she had died before Luna could cast Heal.

In other words, even if she tossed out all her lifesaving skills to save Xun Guiying, she was a ranged based class with a low HP stat and would not have lasted under the direct assault of that many players.
The most she would be able to do was waste a large portion of her MP delaying the inevitable.
She took a moment to discreetly open up her system interface.

”Boss! Be careful, that healer has some kind of AOE sound magic that can paralyze you can for twenty seconds! ” Owl shouted to warn Silent Steps and the others.

Silent Steps frowned when he heard those words.
An AOE skill that was capable of paralyzing a group of players for twenty seconds? What an incredibly lethal skill to those who lacked any skill to break free of crowd control!

He did not remember her having any such skill during their fight in the Chaotic Dogma Realm.
However, it could have simply been on cooldown or she had not yet learned it at that time.
But, now that he was aware of the skill ’s existence, he would be prepared for it.

”Five of you stay back out of range.
If she really does have such a skill, I don ’t want to take any chances at letting them escape from here alive. ” Silent Steps ordered five of the players in his group as they fell back to a safe distance.
They could still see the fight, however, they were now mere spectators for the moment.

”Luna, w-what are we going to do? ” Starry said as her eyes darted around everywhere as she hid behind Su Cui.

Indeed, what were they going to do? At the moment, there were ten players in front of them, five players still alive behind them along with a group of more than twenty elite monsters, Luna ’s voice magic was still on cooldown, and they were now short one player.
There was nowhere for them to escape and there was no way that they could win in a direct confrontation.

Thoughts began to race through Luna ’s mind as she tried to think of their next course of action, however, she saw no way out of this situation for them.
But, if that was truly the case then there was only one thing to do.

”We fight. ” Luna said in a calm tone of voice.

”Fight? But, that ’s impossible! There ’s too many! M-maybe if we ask politely then- ” Starry said, but she was soon interrupted by Jia.

”So what if we ’re outnumbered?! Those guys killed Xun Guiying and they don ’t plan on letting us off the hook either! I ’d rather go down fighting rather than simply giving up! ” Jia said as she gripped the daggers in her hand tightly.

”Well said! ” Su Cui said as she slammed her fist into the palm of her hand before taking a basic fighting stance.

Luna nodded as she closed out her system interface and said in a low voice, ”I have an idea.
It ’s almost guaranteed that we won ’t live that long, however, it ’s still not absolutely zero percent.
We just need to buy as much time as possible.
For now, we have to focus strictly on surviving and wait. ”

”Wait for what? ” Yu Lan asked.

”Reinforcements. ” Luna said in a reassuring manner.
